Breaking Through the True Qi Realm

The Evil Buddha was momentarily stunned before quickly regaining his smiling expression, though this time his grin was noticeably more gleeful.

"Blessings, blessings. Your actions are most virtuous, benefactor. I perceive that you share a deep connection with the Buddha. Why not take refuge in our teachings and ascend to eternal bliss?"

With the sealing array now gone, the Evil Buddha's voice poured into Gu Qingfeng's ears like a demonic chant, vast and overwhelming.

Ding!

Host attacked by the Evil Buddha.

Sound Attribute +10,000 +10,000 +10,000 +......

Sound Attribute has reached its limit. Congratulations, host has acquired the talent: [Evil Buddha’s Demonic Chant].

Instantly, knowledge about the Evil Buddha’s Demonic Chant flooded Gu Qingfeng’s mind.

After understanding the ability, Gu Qingfeng was delighted.

This Evil Buddha’s Demonic Chant was quite interesting—it could unleash sonic attacks, even shatter souls. It was somewhat similar to the Lion’s Roar technique but far more powerful, with an added mind-corrupting effect. It wasn’t just for offense; it could also bewitch people.

If he used this ability in the modern world to preach success philosophy, anyone who listened would surely be brainwashed.

The Evil Buddha truly had some tricks up his sleeve. Just by speaking, he had granted Gu Qingfeng a new skill. No wonder he was a special demon sealed on the sixth floor.

"Keh keh keh... A connection with me? You’re not wrong. The connection runs deep, deeper than you think." Gu Qingfeng sneered as he pulled out the Heavenly Fox’s Eye.

Activating its spatial power, a black membrane instantly enveloped the entire sixth floor.

This was to prevent the Evil Buddha from escaping and to block outside observation.

Gu Qingfeng was worried the commotion might attract Lin Mubai’s attention. After all, the man was at the eighth level of the Dragon Transformation Realm—his senses were sharp.

Seeing Gu Qingfeng seal the sixth floor with the Heavenly Fox’s Eye, the Evil Buddha showed no panic. Instead, he continued smiling, gazing at the artifact.

"Amitabha, blessings indeed. This treasure shares a bond with the Buddha!"

As he spoke, he extended a palm bathed in Buddhist light, reaching for the Heavenly Fox’s Eye in Gu Qingfeng’s hand.

Though they were meters apart, the palm seemed to traverse space, appearing directly above the artifact in an instant.

Gu Qingfeng grinned. It had been a while since he’d encountered such a bold demon. But this made things more interesting.

He threw a punch!

The full might of his sixth-level Dragon Transformation Realm physique erupted without restraint.

Gu Qingfeng wasn’t afraid of killing his opponent in one strike. Any demon sealed alone on the sixth floor had to be formidable.

The next moment—fist met palm!

Boom!

A deafening explosion resounded.

Ding!

Host attacked by the Evil Buddha.

Cultivation +10,000 +10,000 +10,000 +......

As the system’s voice echoed, Gu Qingfeng felt his internal Qi surge violently!

His aura erupted like a collapsing dam, rising relentlessly!

Internal Qi Realm—Second Level! Third Level! Fourth! Fifth!... Peak of the Internal Qi Realm!

A single palm strike had propelled Gu Qingfeng straight to the peak of the Internal Qi Realm!

So the Evil Buddha’s strength was at the eighth level of the Dragon Transformation Realm!

The sheer terror of that single strike!

"Keh keh keh..." The rapid surge in power sent Gu Qingfeng into a fit of mad laughter.

"Marvelous! Absolutely marvelous! This power is intoxicating."

His eyes gleamed with greed as he stared at the Evil Buddha.

The Evil Buddha frowned slightly, withdrawing his hand.

"Benefactor, you have fallen into demonic ways."

"Fall into your mother’s—again!"

Gu Qingfeng lunged forward, fists flying.

The Evil Buddha’s eyes sharpened. He clasped his hands together, his body radiating brilliant Buddhist light.

"Amitabha. Your demonic corruption runs too deep. There is no saving you now. Today, this humble monk shall vanquish evil!"

"Buddha’s Radiance Illuminates All!"

With a low chant, the light around him intensified, forming a towering Buddha illusion several meters tall behind him.

The Buddha’s massive palm descended like a collapsing sky, crushing down on Gu Qingfeng—reminiscent of the Buddha suppressing the Monkey King.

Boom!

The sixth floor trembled violently, but the black membrane absorbed all shockwaves, preventing any disturbance outside.

Ding!

Host attacked by the Evil Buddha.

Cultivation +20,000 +20,000 +20,000 +......

Gu Qingfeng’s internal Qi exploded once more, reaching a critical threshold. A terrifying aura brewed within him before detonating!

His vast internal Qi shattered, reformed, condensed, and underwent a qualitative transformation...

True Qi Realm—First Level!!

Feeling the True Qi, comparable to the True Essence of the Dragon Transformation Realm, flowing through his body, Gu Qingfeng reveled in unparalleled euphoria.

"Exhilarating!"

With a roar, the Buddha’s radiant palm above him shattered into nothingness.

His fists blurred into countless afterimages, engulfing the Evil Buddha in a storm of strikes. The air screamed as it was pierced, compressed, and even began to smoke from the sheer force.

Facing this onslaught, the Evil Buddha raised his hands skyward, his expression wrathful like a Vajra Guardian.

"Demon! The sea of suffering has no shore—turn back before it’s too late! Submit to the Buddha!"

"Ten Thousand Buddhas Return to the Source!"

Countless beams of Buddhist light erupted behind him, manifesting illusions of Arhats and Bodhisattvas. They merged into a colossal Buddha, towering so high it nearly breached the Demon-Suppressing Tower!

The giant Buddha swung its palm, unleashing a radiant swastika seal that descended with unstoppable force.

Boom!

Ding!

Host attacked by the Evil Buddha.

Cultivation +30,000 +30,000 +30,000 +......

His True Qi skyrocketed, smashing through barriers like a tidal wave!

True Qi Realm—Second Level!

As Gu Qingfeng ascended to the second level, the swastika seal's boundless radiance seemed drained. With a single punch, he shattered it.

At this moment, the Evil Buddha’s expression finally twisted in shock.

"How is this possible?!"

The answer came in the form of another fist—a devastating blow infused with raging True Qi and monstrous strength—smashing into the Evil Buddha’s face and sending him flying.

Bang!

Stone fragments scattered as cracks spiderwebbed across the Evil Buddha’s face.

He stared in disbelief at his fractured body, then at Gu Qingfeng, who only grew stronger with each strike.

It was as if the man absorbed his power.

"To think such a demon exists in this world... Damnation! Is this truly a case of the Buddha’s height being outstripped by the demon’s?"

"Go to your mother’s—!" Gu Qingfeng flashed above the Evil Buddha and stomped down hard on his face.

"You’re really committed to this act, huh?! Playing the righteous one—when you’re the damn demon here!"

Mounting the Evil Buddha, Gu Qingfeng pummeled him relentlessly.

The Evil Buddha refused to surrender, his body radiating countless blades of Buddhist light that pierced Gu Qingfeng—yet not a scratch was left.

Instead, they only fueled Gu Qingfeng’s cultivation further.

After an incense stick’s worth of time...

The Evil Buddha lay battered and near death, while Gu Qingfeng had ascended to the third level of the True Qi Realm—a bountiful harvest.

At last, his cultivation had reached a point where it was truly useful. No longer would he have to rely solely on his physical strength in battle.

Because the quality of his true qi was comparable to the true essence of a Dragon Transformation realm cultivator, aside from the slight difference in quantity, it was barely enough to sustain his physical combat.

It was like riding an electric bicycle with pedals. Before, when there was no power, he could only pedal it manually. But now, with a faint trickle of energy, he could both pedal and twist the throttle at the same time—not only saving effort but also moving slightly faster than before.
