Late night.
Midnight food stall.
Wu Xiaode ordered a fried rice, a bottle of iced drink, and a portion of braised meat.
Total cost: thirty-five yuan.
He sat alone at a table in the far corner, slowly eating.
The roar of a motorcycle sounded from the street.
A woman riding the bike waved her hand and tossed a small box towards Wu Xiaode.
"Stranger, keep this for me!"
With that, she revved the engine and sped away.
Wu Xiaode seemed unfazed; he continued eating quietly.
Hundreds of pieces of Eternal Evil Spirit Power only allow the Four Pillars Ultimate Skill to use three types of cold weapons.
This is somewhat absurd.
Perhaps...
The ultimate skill of cold weapons is even more formidable?
He glanced at the Evil Spirit Book, and saw prompts continuously emerging:
"The sequence is training your spear, knife, and sword skills at nine times the speed."
"This is to better showcase the ultimate skill of these three weapons."
"Your comprehension is good, you are continually understanding the ultimate skill of these three cold weapons."
So that's how it is...
For instance, the spear.
He can already unleash the ultimate skill of a spear, yet he has never used one.
So now he immediately starts supplementing all the knowledge and skills related to the "spear."
—Start with the result, and then add the process.
That's why it cost so much Eternal Evil Spirit Power.
Upon careful thought, an ultimate skill of a weapon...
Generally, it can directly dismember, right?
Not too bad.
Wu Xiaode continued eating and thinking, completely ignoring the small box on the table.
After a few breaths.
A group of people rushed over, glanced at the small box, and then looked at Wu Xiaode.
"Hey brother, hand over that box."
The leading man shouted.
Wu Xiaode took a bite of his food, lazily saying, "I can't."
"Why not?" the man asked.
The crowd began to pull out guns, all pointing at Wu Xiaode.
Wu Xiaode calmly replied, "Because this box isn't mine, and I have no obligation to keep it."
Everyone was left stunned.
Wu Xiaode picked up his plate, stood up, and moved to another table before sitting down.
"I'm just an employee at a milk tea shop, eating midnight snack here, nothing to do with your affairs."
"I'll continue eating, you do as you please."
With that, he ignored them, continuing to eat his remaining braised beef and fried rice.
It's shameful to waste food.
The group looked at each other helplessly.
The leading man stepped forward, snatched up the box, and glanced inside.
"Haha, got it without effort."
"Let's go!"
He didn't glance at Wu Xiaode again, turned with his men, and left.
In the remaining time.
Wu Xiaode quietly finished his meal.
In the Void.
The newly opened prompt interface closed again.
—The challenge wasn't activated yet.
He paid, got up, and left the night market. Suddenly, he felt something and looked up.
Only to see a meteor streaking across the night sky.
Even the meteor emitted strong Evil waves.
But the next moment—
It transformed into a human form, flashed by, and landed on the other side of the city.
The Evil Demon has come!
A series of prompts appeared before Wu Xiaode:
"The Evil Demon that passed the tests of Paradise and Life World begins to join this world."
Is this the Evil Demon participating in the Pilgrimage?
Wu Xiaode pondered for a few seconds, then vanished from his spot.
Before long.
He crossed the entire city and saw that man in a dark alley.
The man immediately sensed something and turned to look at him.
"It's you."
The man said.
"You know me?" Wu Xiaode replied.
"Hmpf, the commotion here is too big, how about we compete to see who can pass the test and claim the third card first?" the man said eagerly.
Wu Xiaode quietly looked at him, forming a judgment in his mind.
Not a pursuer.
This Evil Demon probably doesn't know that he is hiding here.
—It's here to complete the "Pilgrimage."
This gets interesting.
He's here to gain experience and increase power, while you want to seize the card and become the ruler of this world?
No way.
"Pardon me for asking."
Wu Xiaode spoke:
"As someone forcibly turned human by this world, how much of your original strength remains?"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly vanished.
When he reappeared, he was already standing behind the man, one hand grabbing his head, the other resting the Desert Sword against the junction of his skull and spine.
Sword Ultimate Skill·Dragon Kiss.
Even top-tier Evil Demons like Huang couldn't evade the "Four Pillars Ultimate Skill"!
You stand no chance!
The long sword cut in, twisted forcefully, and directly severed the head.
Wu Xiaode sheathed his sword, his hands like phantoms, dispersing all the Evil within his body, and then unleashed a powerful punch, ending his life.
"You've been terminated."
Thud.
The corpse fell heavily, revealing a set of colorful armor on the ground.
Without a glance, Wu Xiaode picked it up and threw it towards the wall of endless malevolent malice.
"Integrate into the 'Four Pillars Ultimate Skill'."
With that, he turned and left.
How strange.
Evil demons probably have a hierarchy too.
The top-tier evil demons, such as Huang, seem to know some secrets.
That's why it can hunt me down using secret methods.
Other evil demons participate in the pilgrimage, aiming to reach the Holy Realm.
Why don't the top-tier evil demons join the pilgrimage?
Wu Xiaode pondered carefully.
The rule of the paradise is to become an animal with no skills or power.
That's already outrageous.
The Life World is controlled by fate.
That's even more absurd.
How could those top-tier evil demons willingly lose their power and face uncontrollable dangerous environments, always ready to die?
That makes sense.
Perhaps...
They are not tracking me, but the pilgrimage deck instead.
Once someone acquires it, they will come and snatch it.
Is that so?
The current situation suggests it's indeed the case.
After all, no pursuers have appeared so far, and I am constantly getting stronger at a terrifying speed.
...It should be like this.
Wu Xiaode's heart slowly settled.
He walked out from a cold and secluded alley and looked at the street under the streetlights.
It was nearly midnight, with hardly anyone around.
Occasionally, a car would speed by.
Everything seemed safe and tranquil.
——Let's find a place to rest and continue making milk tea tomorrow.
He stretched lazily and took a step forward, when suddenly an unknown aura surged from his body.
This aura was both familiar and strange, dangerous yet with a sense of submission.
Lines of small bronze text appeared:
"The sequence has enhanced your ability to the human limit and surpassed it."
"You have transcended your race."
"You have transcended 'Emergence.'
"From a life perspective, you have transcended all beings."
"The 'Pilgrimage' sensed your changes, using unknowable power as a lead, converged eternal essence power, and bestowed upon you the power of evil demon."
"You have been acknowledged by the Evil Power."
"The so-called evil demon is the eternal dispersed manifestation, meaning rebellion against the Tao."
"Only the eternal opposer can claim to be an evil demon."
"All beings and laws do not have this qualification."
"You are an evil demon."
Hoo—
The Evil Power surged around Wu Xiaode, yet instantly it restrained back to its initial state.
——This world belongs to all beings, the pilgrimage does not allow the Evil Power to emerge and disrupt its trial.
Wu Xiaode stood frozen in place.
In the pilgrimage...
I... became an evil demon?
He raised his hands.
His hands were fair and slender, nails trimmed exceptionally well.
This was clearly a pair of human hands.
His entire body's power was clearly the Evil Spirit Power.
Why—
Why was I turned into an evil demon?
The Void opened.
Huang emerged, transforming instantly into the appearance of an ordinary human.
"Accept it, it's your honor. Your power has reached this level, naturally turning into an evil demon."
It said.
Wu Xiaode looked at it coldly, and spoke calmly:
"No, Gu Qingshan is stronger than me now, and he hasn't turned into an evil demon."
"Gu Qingshan is Doomsday," Huang said.
"Liu Ping."
"He tricked himself, tricked the laws and everything, isn't he actually an evil demon too?"
Wu Xiaode suddenly recalled.
Liu Ping did indeed say he is an evil demon now.
Still doesn't make sense.
"The All-knowing and All-powerful God is not an evil demon," Wu Xiaode said.
Huang seemed to hear something amusing and said:
"Merciful Father? Can it dare to be alive once it regains power?"
——It wouldn't dare at all, because once alive, with its full strength, it must admit to being an evil demon.
Wu Xiaode closed his eyes briefly and reopened them, his voice remaining steady:
"So even if I don't partake in the trials, you can still find me."
"Why didn't you come these past two days if you could find me?"
Huang said nothing.
Wu Xiaode said: "Right, you don't know how to explain, because this is the only loophole."
Huang, now in the appearance of a human male, showed a look of pity and said:
"Because I sensed your power increasing rapidly, almost approaching ours."
"Nonsense, I was able to fight you all along," Wu Xiaode said.
"Can you really? No, you can't," Huang said.
"I killed many evil demons," Wu Xiaode said.
"You relied on some power that prevents Evil Transformation, so you could have fought us."
Huang insisted without backing down.
"In countless worlds, among numerous beings, who can fight us like you?"
"Gu Qingshan is Doomsday, excluding him."
"Besides him, only you, because you won't undergo Evil Transformation, can boldly confront us."
"Even God wouldn't dare to engage us!"
These words left Wu Xiaode speechless.
Indeed.
Relying on Sister Lan's attribute power, I remain unaffected by Evil Transformation, allowing me to fight the evil demons equally.
If I didn't have such an attribute—
I would only hide upon seeing evil demons.
"Give yourself some time to accept your identity quickly and join us."
Huang said, then turned and walked toward the other end of the street.
Leaving only Wu Xiaode standing there alone, looking down at the strands of evil aura emitting from his hands, instantaneously cleansed by the world.
Evil Transformation.
Is this truly the truth beyond all beings?
