Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 585 - 327: Adding Insult to Injury_3

Although she had a life-saving Spiritual Treasure, and even if Ye Qingzhou didn't save her, she wouldn't really be crushed to death, she was still very displeased in her heart.

Qiu Ruohua saw Ye Qingzhou looking at her and said coldly, "You go ahead."

She didn't say whether she was willing to team up with the Qingpeng Squad, but she had already shown her attitude by allowing Ye Qingzhou and Wei Long to join forces against the merged demon.

Ye Qingzhou glanced at Wei Long and said, "You take the offensive, I'll distract it."

Wei Long nodded, replying, "Alright," and swung the Moon Eclipse Greatsword in his hand, cautiously staring at the merged demon not far away.

The vulture head on the right leaned close to the bull head's ear, cackling and telling it to ignore these humans for now and retrieve its other avatar first. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Otherwise, this rescue mission would result in a significant loss, throwing away a head for nothing.

The bull-headed demon raised its hand and grabbed the vulture head's neck, muttering, "Stop making noise!"

With its neck pinched, the vulture head's eyes were about to bulge out, while the other vulture head whipped its neck like a lash, hitting the bull head and cackling as it did.

"Darn bull! Let go, I'm about to suffocate!"

Though the two heads were separate, their sensations were connected.

The bull head let go, turning to look at the two approaching humans, and the two vulture heads stopped their noise, each focusing on one person.

While the vulture heads clamored for retrieving the third avatar first, they also understood that without dealing with the two humans in front of them, they couldn't reclaim the third avatar.

A great battle was imminent.

Lu Yu drew the Demon-Breaking Saber, the five-headed serpent beneath his feet transforming into black ash, drifting away in the wind.

The Demonic Qi within the five-headed serpent had been completely obliterated by the Demon-Breaking Saber, and without the Demonic Qi, the serpent turned to ash.

Glancing at the increasingly vibrant patterns on the Demon-Breaking Saber, Lu Yu approached the solitary vulture avatar.

Since the Demon-Breaking Saber fell into Lu Yu's hands, it had slain countless demons, its internal power gradually unleashing with each demon slain.

Initially, killing weaker demons didn't result in much change, but as more demons of the Qi Refining and Qi Sea Realm were slain, Lu Yu could clearly feel the Demon-Breaking Saber undergoing transformations.

Until now, after killing the five-headed serpent, a portion of the Demon-Breaking Saber's power was released.

"Divine Soldier?" Lu Yu was somewhat surprised, never expecting the Demon-Breaking Saber to be someone else's Divine Soldier; he had always thought it was a pseudo-divine soldier.

Divine Soldiers are categorized by function into Divine Soldiers and Divine Treasures, and by ownership into Life-bound Divine Soldiers and ordinary Divine Soldiers, with ordinary Divine Soldiers usually referred to as pseudo-divine soldiers.

The reason is simple: pseudo-divine soldiers are weapons tempered by cultivators beyond the Core Formation Realm, possessing attack and defense powers comparable to Divine Soldiers, but lacking various special abilities and unable to grow on their own.

A Life-bound Divine Soldier is not only a powerful weapon but also the foundation of a Martial Cultivator's path in the Core Formation Realm, known as the Path Foundation, indicating that a Life-bound Divine Soldier is the cornerstone of cultivation.

The heavier the cornerstone, the higher the realm one can cultivate to.

This is why genius Martial Cultivators always pursue top-tier and peerless Spiritual Objects, even at the risk of life, to refine those powerful Spiritual Objects.

Compared to natural Spiritual Objects born of heaven and earth, artificial Spiritual Objects are inherently a level lower, which is why Lu Yu was surprised that someone actually refined the Demon-Breaking Saber into a Divine Soldier.

In simple terms, a Life-bound Divine Soldier is a weapon that can grow, strengthening alongside its master, while a pseudo-divine soldier is a common weapon enhanced by cultivators beyond the Core Formation Realm for those whose Divine Soldiers are not attack-oriented.

Without enhancement, facing a Divine Soldier, a spiritual soldier would break in one strike, rendering it useless in battle.

After discovering the Demon-Breaking Saber was an ownerless Divine Soldier, Lu Yu had two choices: one was to leave his mark on the Demon-Breaking Saber and refine it again to make it his own Divine Soldier, with the potential to restore its peak power.

The second was to simply use it as a weapon.

Lu Yu certainly wouldn't choose to refine someone else's Divine Soldier; the Demon-Breaking Saber, when dealing with demons, was at most a decent Divine Soldier, not greatly enhancing Lu Yu's own strength.

Restoring the Divine Soldier to peak power was also of little use; it was merely temporary strength.

For temporary strength, it's not worth leaving endless future troubles.

Using it as a weapon was sufficient.

Even if faced with the choice of an immortal heart, he wouldn't choose to refine the Demon-Breaking Saber, there was no need to hesitate at all.

Though Lu Yu didn't refine the Demon-Breaking Saber anew, he left a mental imprint on it to prevent losing it.

With the power-enhanced Demon-Breaking Saber in hand, Lu Yu flew towards the vulture avatar.
