Chapter 125: Unleashing the Skill (Requesting Recommendations)

Mu Su even felt a bit nauseous but forced himself to hold it back, managing not to vomit. Ling Yu, belonging to the Spider Sect, which was inherently aligned with darkness, fared better, though he was somewhat fearful of becoming like this.

Giving Mu Su and Ling Yu a reassuring glance, the Holy Demon signaled that he had everything under control, nearly causing their hearts, which had almost leapt out of their throats, to settle.

The Holy Demon sat cross-legged several feet above the ground in the void, eyes closed, emitting a faint radiance. His snow-white hair gleamed like crystal, his body translucent as if made of glass, exuding an aura of unparalleled sanctity. A subtle chanting drifted from the void, sounding like the voice of a Buddha guiding souls or gods offering praise. The little spirits nearby ceased their playful hopping and floated quietly beside the Holy Demon, creating an atmosphere of serene tranquility.

Zhou Tian couldn’t help but mutter inwardly that these people sure knew how to put on airs. He refused to believe the Holy Demon couldn’t contain his aura perfectly, without any anomalies showing.

Despite his disdain for the Holy Demon’s pretentiousness, Zhou Tian forced a smile and moved slightly closer.

Before he could take two steps, the little spirits beside the Holy Demon grew restless, each grasping a golden spear no longer than a thumbnail, glaring fiercely at Zhou Tian.

“What is it?” The Holy Demon’s voice came without opening his eyes, lips moving slightly.

“Well, could you spare me some clothes? It’s a bit awkward standing here bare-bottomed.” Zhou Tian said sheepishly. Since the clothes had just been lost, standing naked felt somewhat embarrassing.

The Holy Demon paused slightly, fingers twitching, light flashing, and a set of purple ornate robes materialized on Zhou Tian’s body.

“Thank you, Holy Demon senior,” Zhou Tian said politely.

The Holy Demon opened his eyes, and the entire world seemed to brighten.

“You’re somewhat interesting. I’ve ‘killed’ you more than once. Aren’t you afraid of me?”

“It’s not that I’m not afraid. But many things can’t be solved by fear. Fear is useless; it’s better to find a way to solve the problem.”

Zhou Tian found the Holy Demon quite intriguing. According to his father, Zhou Yi, the Holy Demon was somewhat mentally split, and aside from some peculiar quirks, seemed fairly normal now.

“I hope you really can solve our issues, or else I’ll have no choice but to deal with you myself.”

The Holy Demon smiled faintly as ethereal blossoms bloomed.

“You have progressive thinking,” Zhou Tian thought wryly.

“Holy Demon senior, may I ask who ordered you to attack me?”

Zhou Tian stood for a moment but couldn’t resist asking, since he was idle anyway and might glean some information.

The Holy Demon was silent for a moment, then unexpectedly spoke.

“It’s no harm telling you; he didn’t forbid me from revealing his identity.”

Zhou Tian sighed inwardly—whoever hired you is truly unlucky.

“Actually, I don’t know who he is. He’s always shrouded in light, and then changes targets with his payment,” the Holy Demon said curtly.

Shrouded in light? Zhou Tian glanced at Mu Su. When light was mentioned, his mind went to the Holy Lord of the Sacred Realm, though it was possible the other party was hiding their identity.

“What price did they offer? The Zhou family will pay double, but I wonder, Holy Demon senior…”

“Haha, if it were anything else, I might have agreed. Unfortunately, what I want is something your Zhou family truly doesn’t have.”

The Holy Demon was amused by Zhou Tian’s words and decided that if Zhou Tian was lying, he’d turn him into a pretty little spirit.

“Alright then.”

Zhou Tian had only said it casually, with no real hope of swaying the Holy Demon.

“Do you know about the ambush we suffered when we came to the Godforsaken Land?”

Zhou Tian treated the Holy Demon like an all-knowing informant, asking about the ambush during the Voidstorm.

“You were ambushed? Who dares to ambush a joint force of several great powers?” The Holy Demon was somewhat surprised. He was familiar with the trials in the Godforsaken Land but hadn’t expected anyone to dare ambush them this time.

“Apparently some ancient gods from the Divine Realm, and some interference from the Stellar Realm powers,” Zhou Tian revealed without reservation; it wasn’t a secret worth hiding.

“Stellar Realm powers interfering? Which ones dare to be so reckless? Or are several working together? No wonder such a big incident happened in the Godforsaken Land but none of the true big shots from Jiuzhou appeared—they must be restrained.”

The Holy Demon let out several sounds of surprise, piecing together recent events, feeling a true great storm brewing behind the scenes.

After a moment's thought, he glanced at Zhou Tian.

“Kid, don’t worry about so much. When the sky falls, there’s always someone taller to hold it up. You should focus on resolving our issues first.”

Zhou Tian was speechless.

Time passed swiftly. The Holy Demon seemed to be contemplating something and ceased answering Zhou Tian’s questions. Zhou Tian had no choice but to wait quietly for his resurrection chances to refresh, as casting the “Cultivation Copy” skill required one resurrection opportunity.

The moment his resurrection count refreshed, Zhou Tian suddenly rose from the ground, dusted off his backside, and said arrogantly to the Holy Demon,

“Alright, I can now use my divine power.”

The Holy Demon stood down from his seated position on the ground, releasing a majestic aura, his body exuding a glass-like radiance, white hair fluttering as it pierced the void.

“Show me the great divine power of a Celestial Lord!”

The Holy Demon unleashed his true power; his voice rang like a golden bell, reverberating through the heavens. Within a thousand-mile radius, not a single breeze stirred, all suppressed by the Holy Demon’s overwhelming aura.

Zhou Tian activated the “Cultivation Copy” skill, selecting the Holy Demon before him as the target. Instantly—

Boom!

A surging, overwhelming aura burst forth from Zhou Tian’s body. Mu Su and Ling Yu, standing closest to him, spat out fresh blood and turned pale, but fortunately, a gentle energy enveloped them moments later, transporting them to a safe place.

Feeling the raging energy coursing through his entire body, Zhou Tian realized that after truly using the skill, there was no discomfort or inability to control the sudden surge of power.

The Immortality System had arranged everything perfectly. Wave after wave of insight flooded his mind, allowing him to wield the cultivation within as effortlessly as an extension of his own limbs, without any awkwardness.

“Come on, Holy Demon!”

Zhou Tian took the initiative to strike. With only thirty seconds, he didn’t want to waste a moment. He intended to teach this arrogant lunatic a lesson.

At the instant he raised his hand, a massive hand entwined with lightning formed in the void. The Holy Demon was a supreme warrior of the Heavenly King realm, and Zhou Tian’s copied cultivation naturally matched that level, allowing him to wield multiple powers.

The giant hand lunged without hesitation, aiming to suppress the Holy Demon.

The Holy Demon’s eyes flickered with shock. He hadn’t expected a Celestial Lord to possess such divine power, lifting a completely cultivation-less mortal directly to the Heavenly King realm—it was truly unimaginable.

Though shocked, his reaction was swift. Waving his hand, a white celestial sword appeared, shimmering brilliantly. Though originally white, it radiated multicolored light, dazzling and magnificent.
