In the war between humans and demons, it's not unreasonable for me to absorb demonic energy, is

Fan Tong returned to Fengqing Sect with his exhausted but victorious team, and Shen Youtu personally greeted them at the sect's gate.

"Fan Tong, you did a great job. You are truly the pride of my Fengqing Sect!" Shen Youtu said with a face full of satisfaction.

The child who once needed the protection of the sect leader and himself to barely survive can now lead the sect disciples and stand on his own!

Fan Tong humbly replied, "You flatter me, Master. This is the result of our collective efforts."

All the disciples received awards from the sect, and for a time, the Fengqing Sect was filled with an atmosphere of joy and pride.

However, Fan Tong did not bask in this brief victory. He knew that the demons of Wanli Town were not as simple as they seemed, but he could not find any clues no matter what he did.

A few days later, Fan Tong, who was cultivating, suddenly had a premonition. He went to the Scripture Pavilion, wanting to look at a miscellaneous book that he had seen by chance before.

Inside the Sutra Repository, Shen You, the Pavilion Master, looked at Fan Tong's arrival without any surprise and said with a smile, "Fan Tong, I knew you would come."

Fan Tong cupped his hands and said, "Sect Master, I have a feeling that the appearance of the demons in Wanli Town this time is not accidental. I would like to find some clues in the ancient books."

Shen Youtu nodded and then handed a stack of papers to Fan Tong.

"It seems you've really grown up. Everything you want is here! In the future, you should always ask 'why' about everything you encounter!"

It turns out that the demons' activities in Wanli Town may be related to a mysterious demon cave.

Legend has it that a powerful source of magic is hidden in that demon cave, and the demons have always sought to obtain its power.

“Fan Tong, this matter is quite important. Are you confident that you can investigate it thoroughly?” Shen Youtu asked softly.

Fan Tong's gaze was firm. "Rest assured, Sect Master, this disciple is willing to go and investigate."

So Fan Tong embarked on his journey once more. This time, he ventured alone into the legendary Demon Cave.

The Demon Cave is located in a precipitous mountain peak, surrounded by thick fog.

Fan Tong moved forward cautiously, constantly alert to any movement around him.

As he stepped into the entrance to the demon cave, a powerful magical force rushed towards him. Inside, the cave was filled with jagged rocks, and the walls shimmered with eerie light.

Suddenly, a group of dark figures pounced from the shadows. Fan Tong drew his sword to meet them, engaging in a fierce battle with the figures.

After a fierce battle, Fan Tong finally realized that these dark figures were actually demonic beasts that had been corrupted. They had lost their minds and only knew how to attack frantically.

With his superb swordsmanship and strong will, Fan Tong gradually carved out a bloody path for himself.

Continuing deeper into the demon's lair, Fan Tong discovered a huge cave with a crystal in the center radiating powerful magic.

Just as he approached the crystal, a huge demonic shadow appeared in front of him.

"Insignificant humans, how dare you covet this source of magic!" the demonic shadow roared.

Fan Tong did not back down: "Today, I will stop your conspiracy!"

Fan Tong gripped the Taiyi Ancient Sword tightly, his entire body on high alert as he stared at the enormous demonic shadow before him. The demonic shadow was like a towering mountain, radiating a suffocating pressure, as if the surrounding air itself had solidified under this immense pressure.

The shadowy figure appeared and disappeared, surrounded by black mist, and a pair of blood-red eyes radiated cruelty and greed.

"Hmph, you fool who doesn't know what's good for you, then I'll show you what I'm capable of!" the demonic figure roared, his voice like rolling thunder, shaking the entire cave.

It extended a gigantic demonic claw, which whistled as it reached for Fan Tong. The claw was covered in sharp barbs, gleaming with an eerie light, as if it could tear everything apart.

Fan Tong moved with lightning speed, instantly dodging to the side. His movements were swift and light, narrowly avoiding the swift attack.

As he dodged, he swung his sword, unleashing a dazzling beam of light that slashed towards the demonic shadow. The sword light, like a bolt of lightning, tore through the darkness.

However, the sword light vanished instantly upon touching the demonic shadow, like snowflakes falling into boiling water.

"Is that all you've got?" the shadowy figure sneered, its voice filled with disdain.

Fan Tong was not affected by the other party's words. He composed himself, and a resolute look flashed in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, circulated his spiritual energy, and the Taiyi Ancient Sword shone brightly, like a blazing sun. He unleashed the seventy-two basic sword techniques, his sword strikes attacking the demonic shadow like a whirlwind.

Each move contained his immense power and determination, the sword shadows overlapping and enveloping the demonic figure.

The demonic shadow constantly parried Fan Tong's attacks. Its movements seemed slow, but it always managed to neutralize Fan Tong's sword moves perfectly.

Each of its defenses carried a powerful recoil, causing Fan Tong's arm to go numb.

Fan Tong was secretly alarmed, but his fighting spirit soared even higher. He gritted his teeth and quickened the pace of his attack once again.

He bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood essence that landed on the Taiyi Ancient Sword. The ancient sword instantly erupted with a powerful force, its blade humming as if in celebration.

"Take this move, Qiankun Heavy Sword!" Fan Tong shouted, his voice filled with an indomitable spirit.

He channeled all his spiritual power into the sword, and the Taiyi Ancient Sword shone with boundless light, transforming into a gigantic sword shadow that fiercely stabbed towards the demonic shadow.

Sensing the power of the attack, the demonic shadow dared not be careless. It condensed a ball of black magic power, forming a huge shield.

The shield flickered with eerie runes, exuding an evil aura.

With a loud "bang," the light and magic collided, creating a massive explosion.

The powerful impact spread outwards, causing the entire cave to tremble. Rocks fell, and huge cracks appeared in the ground.

Fan Tong was knocked back several steps by the force of the recoil, spitting out a mouthful of blood that stained his chest.

The shadowy figure also became somewhat ethereal, clearly indicating that the attack had caused it considerable damage. Yet it remained standing, glaring fiercely at Fan Tong.

"You wretched humans, I'll make sure you stay here forever!" Enraged, the demonic shadow launched another attack.

It opened its mouth wide and spewed out a stream of black flames, which turned everything to ashes.

Despite his injuries, Fan Tong swiftly used his movement technique to dodge. Flames grazed his body, scorching the hem of his clothes. Taking advantage of a gap in the demonic shadow's attack, he charged forward again.

The two sides were locked in a fierce stalemate. Fan Tong's attacks were like a storm, while Mo Ying's defense was as solid as a rock.

Just as Fan Tong was beginning to feel powerless, he suddenly discovered that the magic of the demonic shadow seemed to be flowing continuously toward the crystal in the center of the cave.

The crystal emitted an eerie light, as if greedily absorbing the power of the demonic shadow.

"Could this crystal be its source of power?" A bold idea popped into Fan Tong's mind.

He exerted all his strength to break free from the demonic shadow's entanglement and rushed towards the crystal.

The demonic shadow sensed Fan Tong's intention and frantically tried to stop him. It stretched out countless tentacle-like black shadows, attempting to grab Fan Tong.

Ignoring everything, Fan Tong channeled all his spiritual power into the Taiyi Ancient Sword the instant he was near the crystal, and swung it with all his might.

"Crack!" The crystal shattered, and the powerful magic dissipated instantly. Countless rays of light shot out from the broken crystal, illuminating the entire cave.

The demonic shadow let out a desperate roar, its voice filled with resentment and rage. Then, its body gradually dissipated like smoke, finally disappearing completely.

Fan Tong breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground. At this moment, he was seriously injured and almost completely exhausted.

His clothes were tattered and his body was covered in wounds from which blood was constantly seeping out.

But now, knowing it wasn't time to rest, he quickly activated the Nameless Technique, working in conjunction with the Yama Ancient Sword to continuously absorb the dense demonic energy around him!

As streams of golden spiritual energy were fed back into his dantian space by the Yama Ancient Sword, his body trembled!

Originally at the sixth level of the Profound Spirit Realm, he has now taken another big step forward, reaching the seventh level of the Profound Spirit Realm.

The golden spiritual energy within his body surged up and down in the dantian space with a radius of 500 meters, constantly providing him with powerful spiritual energy support!

Having tasted success, Fan Tong couldn't help but have an idea pop into his mind!
