CHAPTER 18: DEMONHEART ORIGIN BODY

[Give it a try. It’s better to experience it early. After all, I doubt you will not kill a person in this world before you die.]

The System’s words made sense. If he wants to survive and get accustomed to the current world, he has to accept the norms.

In the end, Liu Wei resigned to his fate.

He walked towards the strongest among the cultivators, who tried to attack him, and stopped in front of him.

The strongest among the cultivators felt lost, not knowing what to say.

However, when he saw Liu Wei extending his hand, he knew he was asking for his sword.

Without hesitation, he gave it to him.

The moment Liu Wei grasped the sword, as it was one-handed, his Sword Intent immediately wrapped the sword.

He did not even intend to—it was out of instinct.

His body even trembled, as though wanting him to perform a sword technique immediately.

He merely smiled.

He glanced at the alchemist on the door, who was now horrified.

After all, he did not expect the sudden turn of events.

Instead of being a predator, he was now a prey.

He took a step back as Liu Wei glanced at him, shouting, "D-Don’t go near me."

However, before he was able to turn around and run away, Liu Wei appeared in front of him.

The cultivators, who were sneakily watching Liu Wei’s movements, had their eyes widened.

They thought the same.

A peak Yellow Rank footwork technique! Just how many peak Yellow Rank techniques did he learn?

The alchemist’s heart leapt out and was about to run away, when Liu Wei glared at him, releasing his Sword Intent.

His legs turned jelly, causing him to drop his butt to the floor.

Liu Wei looked down on him, keeping his face stern, as he was able to scrutinize the alchemist’s appearance closer.

Not only does he reeks of burned herbs, he’s ugly. He’s only at the mid Body Tempering stage, too.

The alchemist lowered his head, perspiring heavily, as he knew he had to find a way to survive.

After all, if he did, he would be able to contact his uncle and take revenge on the humiliation he received.

Hence, he immediately tilted his head upwards and was about to say something, but the words stuck on his throat when he met Liu Wei’s eyes.

Those were the eyes that made his heart palpitate at the rapid speed.

.He only had one thought in his mind.

He’s a demon!

"So." Liu Wei initiated the conversation. "What made you visit this library and try to harm me?"

The alchemist immediately lowered his head and spent a minute trying to process Liu Wei’s question.

He said, "T-That’s because I just want to learn about that bitch’s secret! How did she refine pills with a four flames purity?! Even an Adept Alchemist was barely able to achieve it, but her success rate was absurd, too!

If only those old bastards tried to strip all her secrets and be greedy, the Alchemist Association would progress more!"

Liu Wei was taken aback.

He did not expect how ruthless and greedy the alchemist in front of him was.

If he was not wrong, he was the same age as him.

If he let him be, who knows how many future alchemists would die in his hands?

Just thinking about it made his blood boil, instantly convincing him to follow the System’s suggestion.

He tried his best to compose himself and said, "Can’t you just accept the fact that she is talented. And about her secrets? Sure, I’m her secret. It’s good that you came to me first before you did anything to her."

The alchemist shivered in fear.

He said, "W-What are you trying to say?"

Liu Wei grinned.

Before he was able to think clearly, as he had just decided to sever the alchemist’s throat, his hand already made a move.

As though it was simply waiting for its moment.

For all its life.

When he swung his sword towards the alchemist, not only was it enhanced by the Sword Intent, it was supplemented with the Falling Leaf Blade technique.

It seemingly left an image of a falling leaf.

Once he finished swinging the sword, its body was already covered with blood.

As another leaf fell to the floor, resonating a dull noise to the floor.

Silence ensued.

Liu Wei was staring at the headless alchemist in shock.

He was speechless.

What was that?

He was certain he lost his reasoning for a split second, as he seemed to have been clouded with the idea of immediately killing the alchemist in front of him.

He was about to ask the System about what had happened, her voice already echoed in his head.

[Y-You... You have learned the Initial Comprehension of Dao of Killing.

And...

What...]

The System seemed to have lost her reasoning, too.

Liu Wei was shocked when he heard her words.

Dao of Killing? I just killed a person, so why did I just comprehend even the Initial Comprehension level?

T-This...

As silent as the atmosphere inside the library, Liu Wei’s thinking turned blank as it was too chaotic.

In a second, the System’s voice echoed in his head again, awakening him from his stupor.

[The body you have transmigrated into has a Primordial level Physique.

It was sealed.

But now that you have killed a person, the first stage of the seal cracking was released.

The First Crack is the Killing Calm.

Have you noticed you are not even guilty after killing a person?

You are more bothered and distracted by the fact that you lost yourself there.

That’s because the Primordial Physique intervened, just so the first crack is finally released.

There’s no turning back now, Liu Wei.

Your Primordial Physique, Demonheart Origin Body, is slowly awakening.

This was sealed by heaven since you were born in the Mortal World.

To prevent the physique from taking over your body, the System will initiate a mission.]

The System paused for a while.

However, even the ample amount of time Liu Wei had before the System continued was not enough for him to fully process what he had just learned.

[You have initiated a chain mission: Tame Your Physique With Cultivation Technique

The first chain: Heart Taming

Description: The Blood Demon Heart Sutra aims to subdue, refine, and ultimately control the Demonheart Origin Body without falling to madness. However, since it’s an ancient, complete inheritance sutra that scales with you, the stages of sutra you have to necessarily learn is divided.

The first stage: Heart Taming. You will now be imparted with knowledge about the first stage.

You will learn the reward afterward.]
