You can become stronger by lying down

The mist was misty, and Annihilation stood in the mist, with a complex expression on his face. He recalled what happened in the illusion in his mind, and said to himself: "Will the warrior who slays demons eventually become a demon?"

He clenched his fists subconsciously, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, and said solemnly: "Even if one day I really fall into darkness and sink forever, my heart will always be towards the light."

The fog suddenly dissipated, and a dazzling red light came into view. The temperature suddenly increased. Annihilation could not help but squint his eyes and look forward.

A red sun hangs in the sky, with flames flying like ribbons. An Arhat is sitting in the air in front of the red sun, with dragons surrounding him.

Annihilation was shocked. The man in front of him was one of the gods and Buddhas he saw on the empty island, the Dragon-Subduing Arhat!

He hesitated for a moment, then walked under the red sun, bowed and saluted: "Junior Annihilation, I have seen Arhat subduing the dragon."

The sea of ​​clouds undulated, huge waves surged into the sky, and the red sun burst out with dazzling light. Arhat Subduing the Dragon slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes fell on the body of Annihilation.

"You are not from the Origin Star."

These were the first words he spoke.

Annihilation's face changed slightly and he nodded.

Now that it has been exposed, there is no point in trying to cover it up. It might be counterproductive and lower the other party's impression of you.

The Arhat subduing the dragon carries a huge red sun on his back, and the light shines on him. His small body looks extremely majestic and sacred.

He said expressionlessly: "The power you used in the illusion is extraordinary."

Annihilation had nothing to say and could only nod.

He felt a little unhappy. He was here for inheritance, not for trial. The other party was asking questions like this, making him feel like a prisoner.

The Dragon-Subduing Arhat looked at Annihilation twice, then turned to the Shenlong beside him and said, "You go back first, I have something to do."

The divine dragon let out a dragon roar, soared out, transformed into a thousand feet in size, rushed straight towards the red sun, and then disappeared.

Annihilation looked surprised and glanced at the red sun secretly. His intuition told him that the thing was not simple, it was not just a glowing ball.

"Before the Hall of Heroes was opened, all the people who came here were from the demon race. I didn't expect that they would sneak into your human race this time. It's a bit unexpected." Dragon Subduing Arhat said.

Annihilation was embarrassed and said sheepishly: "This junior is able to come to such a sacred place as the Hall of Heroes. It is purely a matter of luck."

The Dragon-Subduing Arhat smiled and said: "You don't have to be self-effacing. The demon clan has been in charge of the Holy Spring Secret Realm for a long time. People who have been to the secret realm have left one after another. There has never been a foreigner sneaking in. You are just a Kaiyuan Realm cultivator." However, it is extraordinary to be able to avoid the guards of the demon clan and sneak in. "

He paused and then said: "But if you are caught, the consequences will be self-evident. Maybe there will be friction between the demon clan and the human clan because of you."

Annihilation kept his mouth shut and didn't speak. He wanted to correct what the other party said. He didn't sneak in secretly, he came in openly.

After mentioning some off-topic topics, Arhat Subduing the Dragon got down to business: "You are here for the inheritance, right?"

Annihilation nodded heavily and said: "That's right, I hope senior will make it happen."

Dragon Subduing Arhat said: "I also want to fulfill your wish, but I cannot break the rules set by the Hall of Heroes. Do you understand?"

Annihilation is clear. The meaning of the other party's words is very clear. If you want to get the inheritance, you must pass the corresponding test.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Senior, I have something to ask you. Can you tell me?"

"Speak first." Dragon Subduing Arhat replied.

Annihilation relaxed his mind and said: I want to know whether the inheritance of my predecessors can eliminate demonic nature. "

He chose the inheritance of Arhat who subdued the dragon because the other person was a Buddha and was most likely to help him solve his serious problem.

The Dragon Subduing Arhat pondered for a moment and said, "Do you want to eliminate the demonic nature in your heart?"

Annihilation is noncommittal.

The demonic nature has troubled him for a long time. It didn't start after the bloody plains incident, but many years ago.

It's just that at that time, his demonic nature was relatively light and he could completely suppress it by himself, but it was different now. His demonic nature had grown to an alarming level.

Even though he was carrying an evil-proof bead specially designed to suppress evil spirits, it still didn't work.

The effect of the evil-repelling beads is minimal, and it won't be long before it becomes completely ineffective. By then, I'm afraid it will be the day he becomes possessed by the devil.

The Dragon-Subduing Arhat sighed and said, "I'm sorry to tell you that my inheritance cannot eliminate demonic nature."

Annihilation was stunned, her heart sank to the bottom, her eyes dimmed, and her heart was filled with bitterness and unwillingness.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Senior, you didn't lie to me? But why did my friend tell me that there is someone in the Hall of Valor who can destroy demonic nature?"

The Dragon-Subduing Arhat raised his eyebrows and said, "I wouldn't go so far as to deceive a Kaiyuan Realm warrior. What your friend said is false."

His eyes became as deep as the vast starry sky, and he said: "Demon nature is something that people are born with. No matter who they are, they have it. It is hidden in the deepest part of your heart and is generally undetectable."

Annihilation did not interrupt and continued to listen to the Dragon-Subduing Arhat.

"Demon nature is equivalent to the dark side of a person. If it disappears, the person will be incomplete. Do you know what an incomplete person will become?" said the Dragon Subduing Arhat meaningfully.

Annihilation frowned. It was the first time he heard that demonic nature had such an effect.

He said sternly: "Junior doesn't know, please ask senior to clarify my doubts."

Dragon Subduing Arhat said: "When you came to the Holy Spring Spirit Sect, did you see the monsters that escaped from the Demon-Conquering Cave? If you saw them, then they are what you will become if you lose your demonic nature."

His words were like thunder in the sky, and Annihilation's body froze in place, his mind was in a daze.

He had seen the monster in the Demon Cave, and he was almost killed by it.

The monster looked very scary, with rotting flesh and black dust floating around with every move, looking like neither a human nor a ghost.

"You mean, they all became like that because they lost their demonic nature?" Annihilation expressed his doubts.

If that was the case, he would decisively give up the plan to eliminate the demonic nature. Although becoming a demon would make one lose their mind, at least they would not become monsters.

The Dragon-Subduing Arhat chuckled and said, "No, they became like that not because they lost their demonic nature, but because their demonic nature was too strong and they completely fell into darkness, and with the influence of some factors, they became like that."

Annihilation was dumbfounded, his mouth was dry, and he couldn't speak.

How could it be possible that the monster became like that because it fell into darkness? In his memory, becoming a demon would only make one lose their mind, and would not affect the body.

He came back to his senses, went over what Arhat Jianglong said in his mind, and asked: "Senior, what is the factor?"

Faced with this question, Arhat Jianglong refused to answer: "This matter is of great importance, I can't tell you."

Yimie didn't ask anymore. If others didn't say anything, he couldn't force them to do it, not to mention that he couldn't beat the other party.
