Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 1085 - 496: Nine Netherworld Treasury Lotus, Fellow Sect Brothers

[The "Malice" surrounding your body acts as a supplement to boost your power, and you only feel a sense of comfort throughout your body while inside the Treasure Hall.]

[You stride deep into the Treasure Hall and carefully observe the "Suppressing Evil Demon-Subduing Vajra Scepter" that constantly emits evil thoughts.]

[This Magical Artifact, being the core of the "Great Formation of Demon Subduing," is bolstered and protected by numerous evil thoughts. Unless the malicious aura within the formation is completely exhausted, no one can forcefully break through the formation, nor can anyone touch this evil artifact.]

[No wonder those Bodhisattva’s demon disciples, after being refined by this formation, sincerely convert. Trapped in such a place filled with evil thoughts, how could they avoid being eroded day and night and escape difficulty?]

[Just a few days of refinement by the great formation, even those with strong soul willpower would fall into the "Demon Path," becoming monsters controlled by Malice.]

[You attempt to touch the "Suppressing Evil Demon-Subduing Vajra Scepter" with your hand, but the dense evil thoughts bolstering it obstruct your advance.]

[You scoff coldly and unleash the full power of the "Source of Extreme Evil Power"!]

[Instantly, numerous evil thoughts within the hall turn into wisps of black smoke and merge into your body like a whale drawing in water...]

[Your Shell’s skill "Source of Extreme Evil Power" has a minor increase in accumulated "Evil Thought Value"!]

[Your...]

[As you continue to draw in the evil thoughts, they gradually thin out from abundance in the hall, correspondingly diminishing the evil thoughts bolstering the malefic artifact.]

[At this rate, there is no need for three days; in just half a day, you could drain the "Great Formation of Demon Subduing."]

[Perhaps because you are absorbing evil thoughts too quickly, it causes the whole formation to tremble faintly.] 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

[Your heart skips a beat, and you quickly slow down the absorption of evil thoughts.]

[But the evil thoughts rush into your body like water through a burst dam, and you cannot slow the pace at all.]

[At this moment, it is not you who is absorbing the evil thoughts, but the evil thoughts actively drilling into your body!]

[You feel as though every pore in your body is completely open, fully welcoming these wandering evil thoughts. The feeling of fullness and power spreading within almost makes you moan in comfort.]

[The "White Elephant Demon" outside the Treasure Hall also senses the trembling; it is the surging Buddha Light within the formation, a sign that it’s operating at full power—usually only occurring when someone inside is about to be refined...]

[The "White Elephant Demon" mutters whether the Dragon Demon junior brother is too weak or truly devoted to the path of Buddha with wisdom roots?]

[To be refined after just the time it takes to burn a stick of incense upon entering the formation?]

[It recalls that your physical manifestation had been destroyed, sustained solely by your soul within the formation. If you had lost divine protection, it would be reasonable for the transformation to happen so quickly.]

[It hastily shouts towards the doors of the Treasure Hall, urging you to hold firm and not to panic!]

[The shaking of the ground beneath is not due to an external invasion but rather a critical moment in the refinement process. At this juncture, the formation cannot be interrupted; if you grit your teeth and endure this phase, once you come out, we will truly be brothers!]

[As soon as those words dropped, the trembling of the Treasure Hall that had just lessened became even more violent.]

[Such severe shaking changes the "White Elephant Demon’s" expression. Ordinary refining acts would never cause such intense tremors. It seems more like you, with profound sins, have triggered the Great Formation of Demon Subduing to activate with full force.]

[If your physical body were still intact, perhaps you could manage to survive within the formation, but with your physique destroyed and relying solely on your soul, the odds were not in your favor.]

[The "White Elephant Demon" fears that your soul is too weak and that it could be refined away entirely by the formation. How would it explain to the Bodhisattva upon their return?]

[At that moment, faint, pained gasps of a hybrid Dragon Demon come from within...]

[Much, much thanks to the White Elephant Senior Brother for the reminder. With Senior Brother’s words, this junior brother will definitely be able to persevere...]

[The "White Elephant Demon" hears your voice faint as a mosquito’s whine, as thin as a thread, and witnesses the increasing tremors of the Treasure Hall. It nervously paces back and forth at the doorway, unable to break through and interrupt the refining process of the formation.]

[The "White Elephant Demon" rages at how much slaughter the Dragon Demon must have committed to cause the Great Formation of Demon Subduing to refine with full force.]

[This was truly an oversight! Had it known this would happen, it would have first used the treasures collected by the Bodhisattva to stabilize your soul and reconstruct your body before undertaking the refining process...]

[Pacing back and forth in anxious frustration...]

[Suddenly, the "White Elephant Demon" has an epiphany and slaps its head, exclaiming that it has an idea! Although it cannot interrupt the formation, it could use its magical powers to send items for stabilizing the soul and reconstructing the body into the formation, to assist the Dragon Demon in overcoming this calamity.]

[Considering the Bodhisattva’s fondness for the Dragon Demon, it would not be blamed for using the treasures afterwards but would rather be commended for acting prudently and decisively.]

[Once this thought occurs, the "White Elephant Demon" shouts loudly, insisting you hold firm, and that it would return shortly! You must hold on!]

[With those words, it soars into the sky and vanishes...]

Lin Xun opens the "Son of Evil" panel, where the "Extreme Evil" progress bar races upwards as if it were on a cheat mode, unstoppable.]

At this pace, the "Son of Evil," who had just advanced not long ago, was about to evolve again.]

He strokes his chin, smacking his lips, "The Extreme Evil World truly is a treasure trove!"]

[While you steadily absorb the evil thoughts, the "White Elephant Demon" has hurriedly returned to the outside of the Treasure Hall.]

[It holds a black lotus pod in one hand and a black lotus root section in the other, shouting at the door, junior brother, are you still there?]

[After hearing your weak and feeble response, the "White Elephant Demon" takes a deep breath and then continues to shout loudly...]
