Subduing the First Demon Soul

[After a simple yet profound master-recognition ceremony, you became the new master of the Myriad Soul Banner.]

[You felt that this wretched thing was not being completely honest with you; it was full of wicked schemes.]

[But it didn't matter. You would use it for this lifetime to see whether it would be a positive or negative influence on you.]

[For you, improving your cultivation was certainly important, but drawing traits was the top priority.]

[In the last simulation, although Old Liu went from the ninth stage of Body Refining to the Soul Quenching Realm in six years, looking at his state, he wouldn't live much longer.]

[Improving cultivation in such a way meant only advancing one major realm in an entire lifetime, which was not worth it.]

[For you, the optimal solution was to speed up your cultivation as much as possible while ensuring you lived long enough.]

[This area was a mass grave, so there were plenty of paper money and soul banners scattered around.]

[You casually picked up a tattered black soul-summoning banner from the ground and let the artifact spirit of the Myriad Soul Banner temporarily reside inside it.]

["Oh man! Buddy! This thing is way too shabby!"]

["Make do with it for now. Later, I'll find an artifact refiner to forge a spiritual artifact body for you."]

["You're a true bro!"]

["But my resources are limited. I might only be able to forge a low-tier or mid-tier one."]

["How can your resources be limited? Go rob someone!"]

["You really are a wild one..."]

[As an immortal artifact, the Myriad Soul Banner had endless miraculous uses. Growing larger, shrinking, and merging into the body were all basic operations.]

["Will others discover you using their divine sense?"]

["No! I'm an immortal artifact! If anyone could easily discover my existence, would I still be worthy of being called an immortal artifact? Don't I have pride? Unless you pull me out right in front of them, then pretend I didn't say anything."]

["Brother, I hope you understand that in the eyes of the world, you are undoubtedly the number one evil artifact, the kind that everyone wants to destroy. Therefore, you absolutely cannot be exposed."]

["Prejudice! This is absolute prejudice! The evil ones were my past masters who strayed from the righteous path. What does that have to do with me?

If a butcher uses a cleaver to kill someone, does that make the cleaver evil?

Hmm? Answer me!"]

["Did you forget that you just told me to go kill and rob?"]

["Did I say that? Fine, I've turned over a new leaf now."]

[After obtaining the Myriad Soul Banner, you chose Hongtong County on the spot for your first battle of subduing demons and exterminating monsters.]

[Relying on the 'Demonic Aura' trait, you could judge the strength of a demon by the depth of its demonic aura.]

[You decided to start with the easy targets.]

[In a mountain god temple in Laogou Village, Hongtong County.]

[A group of villagers was praying to the mountain god here.]

[Some prayed for children, some for marriage, and some for favorable weather and a bountiful harvest.]

[Finally, they placed an infant still in swaddling clothes beneath the idol.]

[Losing the warm embrace of its mother, or perhaps sensing some kind of danger, the child burst into loud wails.]

[The villagers present listened to the crying, completely indifferent.]

[Suddenly, the eyes of the idol lit up, and the infant slowly levitated, landing in the crook of the idol's arm.]

["Oh! Fellow villagers, the mountain god has accepted our offering! All our wishes will come true!"]

["Hahaha, wonderful, this is wonderful..."]

["Next year will definitely be another year of bountiful harvest!"]

[Just as the villagers were rejoicing, you walked in from outside the temple.]

["Demon! Let go of that child!!"]

[You held a spear in one hand and carried a longsword on your back. Your jet-black long hair danced in the wind, and your martial attire fluttered loudly.]

[Without another word, you thrust your spear out. In a flash, you shattered that so-called mountain god stone idol with a single strike.]

[The infant fell into your arms, and you looked at her gently.]

[The child's tears turned into a smile.]

[Seeing this, the villagers were furious.]

["Where did this lunatic come from! How dare you offend the mountain god!!"]

["Drive him out!"]

["Give our offering back to us!"]

[Your fierce gaze swept over these ignorant villagers as you sternly rebuked them.]

["Fools! There has never been any savior, nor can you rely on gods or emperors! To create a happy life, you can only rely on yourselves!"]

[You almost sang it out loud.]

[Suddenly, a gust of gloomy wind blew into the temple.]

[A blurry figure, enveloped in a cloud of white mist radiating a holy light, sat on the pedestal of the shattered stone idol.]

["Audacious madman! You destroyed my incense idol, do you know your crime??"]

[Seeing this scene, the villagers all fell to their knees on the spot.]

["The mountain god has manifested!"]

["Spare our lives, mountain god! The one who destroyed your idol is this despicable outsider. We of Laogou Village have always revered you!"]

["Mountain god! Please quell your anger!"]

[You cast a sidelong glance at this so-called mountain god.]

["Playing god!"]

[In your eyes, this guy was the source of a mass of demonic aura. He couldn't be any more demonic, yet he was masquerading as a god to deceive the villagers.]

[He deserved to be executed!!]

[High Fighting Spirit and the Alien's Daddy trait intensity were maxed out!]

[With one arm holding the infant, you thrust out your spear with the other hand!]

[This mountain god probably didn't expect you to attack over a single disagreement, and instinctively retreated.]

[After a brief exchange of blows, you used your martial arts to disperse the holy white mist around this guy.]

[When a one-eyed wolf head and a filthy, emaciated gray wolf were exposed before everyone, the villagers revealed expressions of horror.]

["Is... is this the mountain god?"]

[You said in a clear, resonant voice.]

["Nonsense! There is no mountain god; this is just a wolf demon!"]

[The wolf demon flew into a rage from humiliation. With bloodshot eyes, it charged at you.]

[The wolf demon opened its bloody maw, snapping and biting at you relentlessly, while wildly swinging its sharp claws to scratch you.]

[You stood as steadfast as a mountain, solely focused on protecting the infant in your arms, even finding the time to gently touch the baby's cute little nose.]

[A hundredfold increase in vitality, coupled with a hundredfold weakening of attacks from alien races, resulted in this.]

["Trash! Aside from getting your drool all over me, what else can you do?"]

[The wolf demon was dumbfounded.]

[After all its frantic efforts, aside from tearing your clothes, it couldn't even manage to break your skin!]

["Die!"]

[With a furious shout, your spear pierced through the wolf demon's abdomen, lifting it into the air!]

[This scene was incredibly shocking in the eyes of the villagers.]

[The existence they revered as a god was actually skewered by your spear!]

[And at the same time, you managed to protect a frail infant without taking a single bit of damage!]

[After the wolf demon died, the villagers knelt down toward you.]

["A god has descended to the mortal realm!!"]

[You were left speechless by these ignorant villagers. Was there nothing else in their heads besides gods?]

[You returned the infant to the villagers and warned them never to perform human sacrifices again, or else you would flood their crop fields!]

[The villagers were terrified and repeatedly promised they wouldn't dare.]

[You chased the villagers out of the temple, closed the temple doors, took out the Myriad Soul Banner, and absorbed your first demon soul!]

I won't be able to get the perfect attendance bonus this month, so there will temporarily be two updates a day. Next month, I'll start doing three updates a day.

I beg you to keep reading! Right now on Tomato, reading retention determines life or death. Liuzi thanks you a million times!
