"But if I don't transcend the realm of sainthood and remain confined to this realm, then the stronger my basic qualities are... the stronger he will become in my battle."
Su Han was somewhat amused and exasperated; this highlighted the importance of conceptual abilities, and also the importance of one's level of understanding.
Sometimes, being on a higher level truly makes all the difference...
Because no matter how powerful you are, it's very likely that... you won't be able to harm higher levels of mystery...
"The reason I am able to stand shoulder to shoulder with sages is because I obtained the abilities of the Ancient One, which allowed me to be fully elevated and reach that realm."
Su Han tapped his fingers lightly on the bed. However, he shook his head and didn't say anything more.
With a flick of his wrist, Su Han produced the Demon Emperor's Demon Power and the Insulating Claw. He examined the two cards and murmured, "Demon Emperor's Demon Power... grants me an additional attribute? That's not a big deal... but I wonder if the Insulating Claw is as I expected."
If it really is a weaker version of Imagine Breaker, then Su Han has another trump card up his sleeve.
After calming himself down, Su Han had a thought and fused the two cards together.
With his eyes closed, Su Han sensed the changes in the nature of the abilities within his body.
After just a few breaths, the fusion was complete, and he suddenly opened his eyes, releasing the demonic power that had solidified into substance.
"This feeling is somewhat similar to the power of those previous demon ancestors? But only about 30% similar? The nature of demons..."
Clenching his fist, Su Han's face showed a thoughtful expression. With a thought, the nature of his demonic power changed once again.
Gradually, the feeling that Su Han's demonic power gave to others was exactly the same as that of the demon ancestor he had encountered before.
"This is so interesting! Does this mean that if I want to, I can just sneak into the lairs of those demons in the future?" Su Han raised his eyebrows, his expression full of amusement.
When he releases his demonic power, even if he were to face those demon ancestors directly, they would probably think he is one of the demons.
This is determined by the fundamental principles.
Humans are not incapable of cultivating demonic power; Su Han had consulted the Innate Eight Trigrams Diagram, and Huaya had conducted research on this. After all, demons are undoubtedly a formidable enemy…
However, demonic power is not the inherent power of humans, making even the initial stages of cultivation extremely difficult. Let alone reaching the Demon Ancestor realm, comparable to that of a sage…
To put it bluntly, even if we were to cultivate methods suitable for humans, with billions of people worldwide, very few sages would emerge. Let alone cultivating demonic power…
Even if all of humanity cultivated demonic power, it would be difficult to find a demonic power master comparable to the Holy Lord...
"With this layer of disguise, we could consider infiltrating the monsters' lair in the future?" Su Han's eyes flickered, but after careful consideration, he shook his head. "Forget it, we can deceive the Demon Ancestor! But deep within those lairs, there might be beings that surpass the Demon Ancestor... Let's be safe."
Shaking his head, Su Han dispelled his demonic power. He lightly pointed his finger at the air in front of him, and then another Su Han emerged from the shadows. This was Su Han himself from a different timeline, summoned by the Emperor of Time, with the same strength as Su Han.
"Let's get started," Su Han said calmly.
The mirror world unfolded. Another Su Han clenched his fist, unleashing the full power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and smashed it toward Su Han's face, causing the void to collapse at that moment.
Su Han also clenched his fist, which was covered with a layer of black. He used Armament Haki and Insulating Claws simultaneously.
He suddenly swung his fist.
Their fists collided. The white light on Su Han's other hand was instantly shattered.
Then, the tiger's mouth cracked, and the bones dislocated. Dense wounds appeared on the skin of Su Han's other arm, with faint traces of blood seeping out.
"...It's more useful than I imagined." Su Han withdrew his fist.
The other Su Han simply flicked his palm, and the horse talisman healed his injuries. He then sank back into the shadows.
After a moment's thought, Su Han realized that it could be used as a backup plan. He smiled, put the matter out of his mind, and casually opened his phone.
However, there was no big news this time, so Su Han didn't care. He just casually flipped through the articles to relax.
Time passed by little by little, and soon it was late at night. After washing up, Su Han went straight to bed.
The next morning, Su Han woke up, ate breakfast, and then entered the misty space again.
...
A vast and profound palace shrouded in mist, adorned with stars and enveloped in drifting fog.
At this moment, council members from various worlds sat on the bronze thrones, each with a different expression.
Zhang Sanfeng spoke first, his gaze fixed intently on Tu Shan Honghong, "Miss Tu Shan's world has truly broadened my horizons. Another world, where humans excel in magical artifacts! And where demons possess boundless demonic power..."
"It's not just the future version; the city where monsters and humans coexist gave me a lot of inspiration... At the same time, the love stories in it also touched me deeply..."
The Sword Immortal remained silent, oblivious to his current predicament within the misty space, as he continued to chug his wine. Clearly, he was in a very bad mood.
"The art of reincarnation and continuing one's destiny," the Drunken Sword Immortal slapped his empty gourd, his expression somewhat gloomy, "Why are there always so many tragedies in this world?"
"The love between a human and a demon... and their continued fate in reincarnation, is both heartbreaking and joyful."
"It seems that Mr. Drunken Sword Immortal has completely changed his attitude towards demons because of the fox demon Xingchen?" Huang Rong raised her eyebrows, quite interested.
"No... I've only changed my attitude towards love between humans and demons." After a brief silence, the Drunken Sword Immortal began his argument in a methodical manner.
At first, when he saw Liu Jinyuan and the butterfly fairy fall in love in his own world, the Drunken Sword Immortal was touched, but that was all.
However, the main theme of the story told by Fox Spirit Star is the love between a demon and a human...
Those stories completely overturned the Sword Immortal's worldview.
It wasn't until he repeatedly recalled the heinous monsters he had slain that the turmoil in his heart subsided.
