Chapter 445 Becoming a Demon
Qin Xiaochuan tried to sense the existence of the black hole with his heart, but he felt that the black hole was like a flower in a mirror or the moon in the water, not real and there was no way to grasp it.
"What is it?!" Qin Xiaochuan panicked, and the black hole disappeared again. Just then, Gonggong's attack came again. Because Qin Xiaochuan was too focused on himself, he did not dodge immediately and could only grit his teeth and defend. Although he successfully blocked Gonggong's skill, a powerful spiritual force rushed into Qin Xiaochuan's body. This spiritual force was very domineering and ran rampant in Qin Xiaochuan's body, disturbing his breath. Qin Xiaochuan felt his blood surging and spat out another mouthful of blood.
"Xiao Chuan!" Guo Shiyi called out worriedly.
"It's alright!" Qin Xiaochuan comforted her through his pain. Just as he was about to circulate his spiritual power to resist the erosion of that domineering spiritual power, he suddenly discovered that the spiritual power in his body had merged with Guo Shiyi's spiritual power again, forming a yin-yang spiritual power flow field in his body. Gonggong's spiritual power dissipated after encountering the spiritual power flow field. At the same time, Qin Xiaochuan felt the existence of that black hole again, and it was through that black hole that his and Guo Shiyi's spiritual power merged together.
"Is the limit of human beings not just level 9 of spiritual power?" A crazy thought suddenly flashed through Qin Xiaochuan's mind, as if he had touched the threshold of a higher realm.
He remembered that the goddess Nuwa once said that humans could also cultivate themselves into gods. Could this black hole be the key to breaking through the shackles of humanity?
Thinking of this, Qin Xiaochuan felt his blood begin to boil, and his spiritual energy began to circulate rapidly on its own. Guo Shiyi noticed this change and asked worriedly, "Xiaochuan, what's wrong? Why is your spiritual energy circulating so fast!"
"It's okay, I'm fine now, better than ever before!" Qin Xiaochuan was overwhelmed with excitement.
How exactly could one harness the power of that black hole? Qin Xiaochuan continued to ponder this in his mind.
"If you see all forms as non-forms, then you will see the Tathagata!" He murmured this sentence again, and then thought, "What you depend on will bind you. It seems that only by breaking the shackles of the rules can you activate the power of the origin."
Just as Qin Xiaochuan was still pondering, Gonggong's attack came again, but this time he was not surprised but delighted.
"Good! Well done! Then let me forget those rules." Qin Xiaochuan shouted, no longer deliberately thinking about how to release skills, but relying on his senses to release the energy in the black hole, and trying to release the spiritual power into various skills with his will.
"Boom!" The massive explosion blasted Qin Xiaochuan off Kaiming's back. The skill did not appear as he expected. Gonggong's skill landed squarely on his body. If he hadn't been protected by the Qilin Armor and hadn't instinctively released the skill to protect himself in the critical moment, this blow would have been enough to kill him.
Although he barely survived, Qin Xiaochuan still felt as if his whole body was broken. His skin cracked open, and blood seeped out like a spring, soon staining his clothes red.
"Xiao Chuan!" Guo Shiyi screamed in terror. The nimble vines wrapped around Qin Xiao Chuan like ghosts. When she pulled Qin Xiao Chuan back to her side, the cyan spiritual power had completely enveloped his body.
"Are you alright, Xiao Chuan? Immerse yourself in reading Chapter 448, 'Going Astray in Qi Cultivation,' please click." Guo Shiyi called out anxiously, looking at Qin Xiao Chuan lying on Kai Ming's body, tears streaming down her face.
Qin Xiaochuan closed his eyes, his face contorted in pain, as if he hadn't heard her words, completely absorbed in his own world.
"Impossible, something must have gone wrong!" In his mental space, Qin Xiaochuan observed the black hole in bewilderment. Perhaps due to his injury, his eyes gradually became bloodshot and turned crimson, and a hint of madness gradually appeared in his expression. "No, there can't be any mistake. This black hole must be the key to breaking through. I have to try again."
"Xiao Chuan, what's wrong with you? Say something!" Guo Shiyi was still calling out anxiously, but Qin Xiao Chuan still didn't respond at all.
Just then, Guo Shiyi felt Qin Xiaochuan's body suddenly begin to heat up, and a pure spiritual energy continuously surged out of his body, gradually transforming into a bluish-white Samadhi True Fire.
"Ouch! It's so hot! Why are you using your skills randomly?" Kaiming, who was sitting below, suddenly let out a wail. Immediately afterward, a surge of spiritual energy appeared on Kaiming's body, isolating him from Qin Xiaochuan's flames.
Guo Shiyi also felt the burning sensation of the flames. She finally realized that Qin Xiaochuan's current situation was very wrong. With Qin Xiaochuan's control over spiritual power, he would never let the flames hurt him.
"Xiao Chuan, what's wrong with you?" Guo Shiyi could only raise a layer of cyan spiritual energy barrier on her palm, and then place her palm on Qin Xiao Chuan's back. When the spiritual energy entered Qin Xiao Chuan's body through his back, Guo Shiyi felt that his aura was extremely chaotic. The originally warm and thick spiritual energy also became violent, and constantly pulled her spiritual energy out of her body.

"Could it be..." Guo Shiyi's face turned deathly pale. Although she had never actually witnessed it, she had often heard her master mention that Qin Xiaochuan's current condition was exactly the same as that of someone who had gone into a state of demonic possession.
"How could this happen?" Guo Shiyi muttered in fear. Cultivation going astray is the most frightening thing for cultivators. If not handled properly, at best, one's cultivation will be lost; at worst, one will suffer mental breakdown and fall into the demonic path; and in the worst case, one's life will be endangered.
"What should I do?" Guo Shiyi felt as if her heart was being torn apart. She had never encountered such a situation before and had no idea how to handle it.
"Sister Kexin!" she cried out, wanting to discuss with Han Kexin, but found that Han Kexin was not by her side at all. At the beginning of the battle with Gonggong, Qin Xiaochuan had told Han Kexin to prioritize self-preservation and stay away from the center of the battlefield as much as possible. After all, among the three of them, only Han Kexin had not yet broken through to the 9th level of spiritual power. With her current strength, fighting Gonggong would be a very dangerous thing.
Watching the flames on Qin Xiaochuan's body grow ever hotter, Guo Shiyi suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of loneliness. She had never been in this situation before. In the past, no matter what danger she encountered, she always had companions to rely on. But now, she was all alone, facing the worst thing in the world.
For a moment, she felt as if she had returned to her childhood, when she had just been sent to Wudang Mountain and often sat alone on her bed late at night thinking about her mother. At that time, she felt just as helpless and lonely as she does now.
The air was filled with the sounds of flowing water, violent winds, and thunderous roars of Kaiming unleashing his skills. Floodwaters poured down from the sky, completely engulfing her. Within the azure floodwaters lurked the shadow of death. A water dragon roared through the flood, charging towards them once more.
