He suddenly looked at Xiao Jie, letting out a resentful snort, then gave a somewhat relieved bitter laugh.
"Hahaha, alas, who would've thought that after tens of thousands of years of plotting, it would all end up in vain. Fellow Daoists, I have indeed failed you all.
Don't be so pleased, kid. Do you think that by killing me, you can achieve Ascension to Immortality? That you can resurrect your fallen comrades? Hahaha, what a pipe dream. If the spiritual energy of that demon was so easy to use, why would I give you that treasure?
Demon absorption of spiritual energy is inherently chaotic and fragmented, further mingled with their own blood energy and demon power.
Only the Golden Core of a Qi Refiner, condensed by the method of Qi Refinement, can be considered pure. But now, there are only you and I left in this world. Do you think, why would I need to take your Golden Core... hahaha.
Your body is now already corroded by the power of the Demon Spirit, how can you still ascend!
