The evil woman cultivates immortality, and the whole clan offers sacrifice to the heaven

The inner demon's whispers rang in his ears again, with an evil and mischievous smile.

"Look, they don't care about you at all. You are nothing to them. Only strength can make you rise from the bottom and let you take control of your own destiny again!

Cultivate magic, embrace the darkness, and you will be reborn!"

Xuan Ji was silent.

The inner demon's words were like a drumstick, causing vibrations in his heart.

He wavered, almost giving in.

But Xuan Ji still gritted his teeth and painfully rejected his inner demon, "No! Stop talking, I don't want to cultivate demons!"

"Well, I hope you won't regret your decision today."

Three months later, several ferocious monsters suddenly appeared in the mortal world. Relying on their powerful strength, they wreaked havoc and ate anyone they saw. The whole city was in a panic.

After hearing the news, Xuan Ji was extremely anxious and wanted to protect these innocent people.

But his cultivation was too low, not enough to fill the monster's teeth.

He could only watch the monsters run rampant and listen to the people's cries, his heart filled with powerlessness and despair.

The threat of monsters became more and more serious, and it also affected the family business.

The family decided to abandon the city and evacuate all personnel.

After learning the news, Xuan Ji immediately found the shopkeeper and asked him to report to the family and ask the masters of the clan to come and kill the monster.

However, the shopkeeper refused coldly.

"The tribesmen are busy with other important matters, and it will take several months for them to be free."

Xuan Ji was very angry. "The people of the whole city are almost being eaten by monsters, but they are indifferent. After a few months, when everyone is dead, what are we going to do with them?"

The shopkeeper glanced at him sideways, his tone full of disdain.

"If you don't like it, just go and kill it yourself. What's the point of complaining here? If it weren't for your sister, I wouldn't even bother to notify you and would just let you die in the monster's mouth!"

Xuan Ji walked to the street in despair. In the past few days, the monsters have become more rampant. There are ruins and wailing everywhere.

The inner demon's voice sounded again, "See? This is the result of your persistence! If you had enough power, you could stop all this from happening."

While Xuan Ji was silent, a ferocious monster appeared again.

It has a huge body, a ferocious face, claws like hooks, and fangs like swords.

The monster roared and rushed into the crowd, killing indiscriminately. Dozens of people died in an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and screams shook the sky.

More people were fleeing and crying, but they struggled and died in the mouths of monsters.

Xuan Ji witnessed all this, feeling painful and powerless.

The inner demon sneered, "If you had cultivated magic earlier, they wouldn't have to die. Unfortunately, now you can't do anything except watching these people die."

Xuan Ji's eyes were filled with pain and struggle. He clenched his fists, his nails digging deeply into his palms, and blood flowed through his fingers and dripped onto the ground.

Those innocent people are still crying, struggling and feeling fearful.

Xuan Ji's heart trembled, and he finally compromised and said, "I, I am willing..."

The inner demon smiled softly, "Very good, do as I say..."

Xuan Ji knelt on the ground, tears mixed with blood flowing all over his face.

He reached out his trembling hand and touched the mutilated body of a child, whose face was still frozen with an expression of fear.

The voice of the inner demon whispered in his ear, its tone bewitching, like the tongue of a poisonous snake.

"Both flesh and blood and residual souls can become the source of your power. Devour them, and you will gain supreme power and protect everything you want to protect!"

Xuan Ji finally made up his mind and started practicing the skills that the Heart Demon taught him.

As the technique was put into practice, a strange and powerful force instantly surged into his body, and Xuan Ji's cultivation level instantly broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining!

The demon's whisper turned into a wild laugh: "That's right! Power is your only salvation!"

Xuan Ji's eyes gradually turned scarlet. He greedily absorbed the power from the corpse, and his cultivation level increased rapidly.

After the fourth level of Qi Refining comes the fifth level of Qi Refining!

The growth in power excited him, but also frightened him.

He seemed to see a road filled with blood and killing, and he had already embarked on this road of no return.

"The fifth level of Qi Refining is still too weak. The spirituality and power contained in the corpse are still too little. You can go find some mortals..."

"enough……"

A trace of struggle flashed in Xuan Ji's scarlet eyes, and he suddenly interrupted the bewitching voice.

"Shut up! I would never kill innocent people!"

The demon's wild laughter was extremely harsh. "How naive! What do you think you can do with your little bit of skills now? Those monsters can crush you to death with just one finger!

Only by constantly devouring and growing stronger can you survive and defend this city!"

Xuan Ji clenched his teeth and his fists made a clattering sound.

He looked around and saw corpses everywhere, blood flowing like a river, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood.

In the distance, the huge monster was still wreaking havoc, and every roar was accompanied by the disappearance of life.

"Is there really no other way?"

Xuan Ji muttered to himself, his eyes filled with confusion and pain.

He longed for power and wanted to protect the city, but he did not want to become a demon cultivator who had lost his humanity.

The inner demon's voice sounded again, like the devil's whisper: "Don't hesitate any longer! The power is right in front of you! As long as you are willing, you can have the power to control everything!"

Xuan Ji took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He staggered to his feet and tried to search for the remains of the body.

“There are too few bodies.”

The inner demon complained unhappily, "If you keep going like this, it will take a long time for you to improve your cultivation! Wouldn't it be faster to just capture a living person and refine him?"

Xuan Ji shuddered, a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

"Shut up! I would never do such a heartless thing!"

But when Xuan Ji was looking for the corpse, several huge monsters rushed into the city.

Their scarlet eyes swept across the terrified crowd, they let out excited roars, and began a carnival feast.

Sharp claws tear flesh, sharp fangs gnaw bones,

Screams and wails rose and fell, interweaving into a sad song of despair.

Xuan Ji was filled with shock and anger. He wanted to stop this brutal massacre, so he roared at his inner demon.

"Quick! Think of a way! I want to stop them!"

But the inner demon became strangely silent, as if it had disappeared, and no matter how Xuan Ji called out, there was no response.

Xuan Ji watched helplessly as countless mortals were torn to pieces and eaten by monsters in front of him.

The streets were dyed red with blood, and broken limbs and body parts were scattered all over the ground, like a hell on earth.

Despair and anger burned his soul like a raging fire.

He could no longer bear it, and rushed towards the group of rampaging monsters, waving his fists and using all his strength to try to stop them.

However, in front of the powerful monster, Xuan Ji, who was at the fifth level of Qi Refining, was as small as an ant.
