Chapter 587 - Demon Statue (1/2)

'I-It's a demon! Impossible! Why is there a demon in this place?!' Yuan was shocked to the core when he saw the demon statue.

Although he has only seen a couple of them, their unique features were more than enough for Yuan to immediately recognize them at glance.

'Wait! Calm down! I am overthinking things! There is no way demons really exist in this world, right? That is only a stone statue— nothing more!'

Yuan began trying to convince himself that the stone statue was merely just that and not a real demon that had been sealed even though it looked ridiculously realistic.

However, that didn't explain why his body was burning when looking at the demon statue, as his body was clearly reacting to it.

”Brother Yuan, what do you see?” Chu Liuxiang asked him when he remained silent for too long.

”S-Sorry, but I think I overreacted to that statue over there.” Yuan pointed at the demon statue that was surrounded by the six golden coffins.

”The stone statue?” Everybody there turned to look at the statue.

Since it was sort of dark there, they didn't notice the horns and other features immediately.

When they eventually noticed these unique features, their eyes widened with shock.

”What the… Why is there such a thing in the founders' tomb?”

”What even is this thing? It looks like a human, but humans don't have horns.”

”It's a demon, I think,” Yuan answered their questions.

”A demon? How do you know this?” Chu Liuxiang asked him.

”Because I have fought with them before inside Cultivation Online…” Yuan sighed.

”Cultivation Online?” Everyone there turned to look at him with raised eyebrows.

Yuan nodded and proceeded to explain to them his encounter with demons inside the Mystic Realm.

”Demons are powerful and immortal beings that have existed since ancient times in Cultivation Online. They cannot be killed through normal means. You can crush their body, burn them, and even sever their head, but they will regenerate completely like it never happened.”

”I have fought a couple of them inside the Mystic Realm, and I was nearly killed by them.”

”Wait… If they can regenerate any injuries no matter how severe, how do you defeat them?” Senior Wang asked.

”There are two ways to defeat a demon. You can destroy their body to the point where they cannot regenerate anymore, but they can fully regenerate within seconds even if they only have a single finger left, so that's not the preferred method.”

”The second method is to seal them using a demon sealing technique, but that doesn't really kill them, and they will break out of that seal after a few hundred or thousand years depending on the strength of the seal.”

”Oh, and I believe they're weak to techniques with the divine attribute.”
