I Have Refined Qi For 3000 Years!

Book 4: Chapter 22: Great Devil

The giant in the darkness poked its head out, allowing Bai Qiuran to see its face.

It had a stout body, covered with long brown-black hair, and the height of several tens of feet, looked like a big mountain in the dark. Its two arms were covered with black scales. Even its fingernails were much bigger than Bai Qiuran.

This devil had three eyes, two horns, a bird head, a humanoid body, dragon arms, tiger claws, but its lower body was an insect-like arthropod structure. Under those carapaces, there were muscles that contain horrible strength. A long giant snake coiled around its waist, swallowing deadly poisonous mist-that was its tail.

Looking at this devil, Bai Qiuran said in amazement:

“Devil race?”

“Not only that.”

The skull said:

“This is the last Great Devil who was killed in the Sacred Dynasty era, and it is much stronger than the immortal!”

“In its lifetime this devil was the left-wing vanguard of the devil army. We killed him in the Wise Immortal Mansion tens of thousands of years ago. In order to kill him, we paid the price of a dozen of peak Land Immortals.”

This Great Devil lowered his head, and in the third eye pupil of his forehead, a faint blue flame was burning, and it was obvious that the escaped soul from the black robe man was controlling it.

“Young man, you have no chance of winning against it!”

It opened its beak and screamed, and the air from its mouth collapsed the earth, countless rocks were blown away, and there was a cloud of dust appeared in this dark space, covered for hundreds of miles.

At this time, even Bai Qiuran was blown upside down. He stood firm, but the ground under his feet couldn’t withstand the force. The white-haired youth was whirling in the wind, the skull was also caught in the wind, and screamed.

“I caught you.”

Bai Qiuran stretched out his hand to grab the skull’s eye socket, ignoring the latter’s shouts of “itchy” and “blind”, and landed safely on the ground a few miles away.

He raised the skull and looked at him, and the skull quickly persuaded:

“Before he used the Decays of Heaven technique, he practiced the method of manipulating the corpse. The great devil has no soul left. Therefore, he can unleash at least 80% of the strength of this body. Run!”

“A divergency who can’t even fly, can I still let him run away?”

The great devil manipulated by the black-robed man laughed, leaped a few miles, and hit the ground with a punch.

The earth was exploded like being hit by a huge meteorite, and dozens of miles of the ground instantly collapsed, forming fragments of varying sizes.

Only by relying on the power of the flesh to exert the power that surpasses the cultivators who specially trained martial arts, this was the danger of the devil race.

“In the war between humans and devils, how did we win back then?”

Bai Qiuran raised the skull in one hand, casually dodged the shock wave, and asked at the same time.

“How do I know? When that happened, I have been dead for tens of thousands of years.”

The skull said:

“Probably there was a freak like you leading us.”

“When I was picking up food on the battlefield, the battle between humans and devils was not over yet.”

Bai Qiuran said:

“At that time, almost all the masters of human side died. Where did such a freak like me come from?”

While two of them were still struggling with this question, the big devil’s head came over, and the three-eyed blue soul fire swayed dimly. It smiled:

“Surrender, kid, you have no chance of winning, I don’t want to ruin such a good body, as long as you surrender, I will—”

boom!

Bai Qiuran raised his hand, and his infuriating Qi gushed out unlimitedly, forming a huge golden palm print, and with a loud noise, it hit the devil’s body.

It was like squeezing a mass of cream with a palm-shaped mold. The devil’s invincible body was dented by this golden palm print, and then burst out a rain of flesh and blood, and its upper body was missing. The rest of the lower body was still standing alone.

“All right.”

Bai Qiuran retracted his palm, turned his head, and asked the skull:

“How do I extract his three souls from the body of the great devil?”

“Well..., first you have to find its head.”

The skull hesitated.

“But I think he has probably died for real...”

“That’s a pity, I haven’t...”

Before Bai Qiuran’s words fell, a blue light suddenly struck from the darkness, hit his back, and sank into his body.

“Oops!”

The skull exclaimed:

“His three souls have not yet dispersed!”

Bai Qiuran, who was hit, was stunned. After a while, he suddenly took out a black spike from his chest and looked at the inside. Within the black spike, a group of glowing soul fire was looming. A scream echoed:

“What did you do to me?!”

“Obviously you ran into it yourself, how do you blame me?”

Bai Qiuran said:

“This black spike is our improved version based on your gadget, which is specially used for self-defense, but currently this is the only one. I also think that it is a pity that I have no chance it until now. It must be better to give it to those few disciples who were possessed... But the result is unexpected, you came in by yourself.”

Bai Qiuran no longer paid attention to the howling and cursing of the immortal soul trapped in it, and took the black spike into his arms, then looked at the skull on his other hand and asked:

“Okay, now we can talk, how do I get out?”

“Before that, can you allow me to ask a question to satisfy my curiosity?”

The skull asked.

Bai Qiuran nodded and motioned for it to ask.

“The Land Immortal who is trapped by you, he thinks you are a divergency, but with the Great Wisdom bestowed by Heaven, I understand that not only what you are cultivating is actually a formal cultivation method, but you’re also in the Qi Refining stage.”

The skull organized his words and then asked:

“Then, can you tell me, how many layers have you practiced?”

Bai Qiuran thought for a while, then replied:

“It’s currently in the 66,666th layer. I’m about to break through soon, but I’m suppressed.”

“I see.”

The skull smiled bitterly:

“No wonder you are so strong.”

He babbled and counted:

“There are 9 major stages and 41 minor stages in the cultivation realm from body forging to Great Ascension. There are ten levels in the Qi Refining stage, so let divide the Foundation Establishment stage, Golden Core stage... into ten levels too. Taking the difference in the quality into consideration, the ones who reached the Immortal Realm is only equivalent to less than 200 layers in the Qi Refining stage, which is far behind you...what is your strength now?”

“How the hell do I know?”

Bai Qiuran asked back.

“Yes, even the Great Wisdom bestowed to me by Heaven can’t measure your strength, how can you know...I am stupid.”

The skull smiled bitterly:

“If you have any questions, just ask. I know everything, if you want to go out now, I can also tell you how to go out.”

“No, if that’s the case, then no need to hurry. Let me ask another question first.”

Bai Qiuran thought for a while and asked:

“What is your true identity?”

“Me?”

The skull said lightly:

“I am an immortal who has been given Great Wisdom by Heaven. I assisted the immortal dynasty in the previous era. I was called Wise Immortal. I am also the true master of this mansion.”
