Chapter 223: Chapter 139: Return! Demon Magic! (Part 2)

[Link Core]: When the master uses the Blood Spear for an extended period, it will gradually increase the linkage depth between the Blood Spear and the master. The life recovery efficiency can be enhanced by up to 50%, and the Slaughter Will receives an additional amplification, increasing weapon sharpness, with a maximum increase of 5 points.

③ Life Source Power: (No modification – omitted)

④ Spiritual Erosion (Active/Passive): If a non-master or non-Artifact Spirit recognized entity touches the Blood Spear, it will immediately trigger an [Instant Death] judgment on that entity.

If the judgment fails, the [Echoes of Slaughter] effect is immediately added, attempting to destroy the enemy’s spirit.

If the judgment fails, or if the [Echoes of Slaughter] effect does not meet the Blood Spear’s expectations, it will again immediately add a [Spiritual Erosion] judgment and [Blood Energy Erosion] judgment.

If the Blood Spear continues to be touched, all above judgments are triggered frequently and continuously.

[Blood Erosion]: During battle, this passive can be actively enabled. Each time the Blood Spear hits an enemy, it will cause a certain degree of [Spiritual Erosion] effect. The longer the contact time with the Blood Spear, the stronger the [Spiritual Erosion] effect.

⑤ Death Domain (Active): (Omitted)

⑥ Learning Progress (Passive): (Omitted)

Current skills being learned: Meteor Fire Arrow, Healing Skill

+3 Special Effect [Awakening]: Energy Conduction, Enhancement Effect increased by 30%.

Description: Based on the [Blood Crystal Stone], this weapon imbued with the death of countless living beings nurtures the Artifact Soul, absorbing [Ancient Divine Source Blood] to advance. It possesses unparalleled power and growth potential.

….

After fully absorbing the [Blood Crystal Stone], the Blood Spear successfully advanced to the Dark Gold Level.

Previously, Ye Mingqiu felt that the weapon strength of the Blood Spear was absurdly high. It hardly seemed like a Gold-Level weapon; instead, it seemed like one meant to advance but couldn’t due to missing certain conditions, preventing it from becoming a Dark Gold Level weapon.

Now, after the Blood Spear absorbed the [Blood Crystal Stone], it successfully got the chance to advance directly to a Dark Gold Level weapon, resulting in a significant increase in strength.

Is this not a case of thick accumulation before a thin outburst?

The Blood Spear’s attack power alone increased by nearly 50%, the durability increased greatly, and it gained entirely new skills, strengthening the prior passive abilities as well, such as increasing sharpness from 6 to 10.

The effect of [Link Core] is also quite good, improving life recovery efficiency and significantly enhancing Ye Mingqiu’s survival ability, and increasing weapon sharpness can further enhance attack power.

The newly acquired passive strength of [Spiritual Erosion] is also formidable, able to exert instant death judgment/spiritual attack on the enemy in battle, with quite an impressive effect.

But this effect is somewhat difficult to trigger…

Why is that?

Because to trigger [Spiritual Erosion], the enemy must first withstand one normal attack from Ye Mingqiu without dying; otherwise, how can it be triggered if they’re already dead?

The Blood Spear itself has extremely high attack power, further enhanced to +5, with very high sharpness, and Ye Mingqiu also has the [Unparalleled Divine Bravery] talent that increases strength judgment by 50%. With one move from the Blood Spear, few people at the same level are likely to remain standing.

Those who can withstand one move from Ye Mingqiu without dying are likely Dominator Level powerhouses, and such Dominators likely have not low abnormal status resistance, especially High Level Dominators who will likely have resistance when facing instant death judgment.

Therefore, the main effect of [Spiritual Erosion] is to cause spiritual attack rather than relying on instant death judgment to kill, as those who could be killed instantly likely cannot withstand a single normal attack from Ye Mingqiu.

Everything that needed handling has been dealt with.

[Return]

….

In the exclusive training room

Amidst a flash of teleportation light, Ye Mingqiu returns to his original place. Looking at the familiar environment, his mood gradually relaxes.

“Wow~”

The soft sound of a book being turned can be heard. It’s Tang Ruobing still reading in the resting area, her head lowered, focused on the [Book of Great Magic] Ye Mingqiu had previously brought back for her. She seemed unconcerned with whether Ye Mingqiu had returned.

Ye Mingqiu stepped forward, taking out the [Demon Secret Scripture (Fragment)] he had acquired from the Spirit Realm in a trade with the Morning Star Group and handed it to Tang Ruobing, saying: “Here, this is a new book I brought from the Spirit Realm, see if it might be useful.”

“Hmm.”

Tang Ruobing responded, taking the [Demon Secret Scripture] and skimming through it before quickly concluding, “Hmm… The use of this thing isn’t very significant; it’s mainly meant to expand knowledge and awareness to avoid being tempted by the Demon Race’s contracts. The demonic spells recorded in the book would probably be very hard for us humans to use.”

“Why? Are there any restrictions in using these spells? Race restrictions, or energy?” Ye Mingqiu further asked.

“It’s energy. The Demons of the Demon Race have an innate ability to control magic energy much stronger than ours. The difference between magic energy and spiritual energy is similar to that of holy power, though the intensity is not as high as holy power, roughly only 1.8 times spiritual energy.”

Tang Ruobing paused for a moment and continued: “Of course, if it were just a difference in intensity, then adding more spiritual power strength attribute wouldn’t make it unusable. But the problem lies in the fact that the demonic spells of the Demon Race rely on the characteristic of [Dark Erosion] of magic energy.”

“I see.”

Ye Mingqiu nodded in understanding.

Spiritual energy has high plasticity, able to freely convert into various types of energy and embody powers of various attributes. Simulating it into magic energy is not impossible, just highly difficult.

The Demon Race uses demonic spells by directly utilizing them. In contrast, Spiritualists must first convert spiritual energy into magic energy before casting, adding an extra step in conversion, requiring additional effort.

The conversion difficulty between spiritual and magic energy is quite high, and using demonic spells after converting into magic energy is cost-ineffective compared to using other attribute spells directly. Thus, for regular Spiritualists, there’s no need to learn the Demon Race’s matters… unless the Spiritualist themselves already possesses magic energy.
