At the place where the Blade Demon fell.

The Blade Demon's body stood up once again.

Su Yuan looked at this Mental Avatar and frowned, "Why is the magic power within it so weak?"

"It was consumed too much before falling!"

Su Yuan shook his head.

The inherited magic power was severely depleted by the Blade Demon's consumption, leaving very little remaining.

However, the upper limit of this Mental Avatar wasn't low;

after recuperating for a period, it could naturally recover to the Blade Demon's original peak.

Su Yuan took out a Hunyuan-level treasure for restoring magic power from his Dantian space and handed it to the Blade Demon clone.

He also transferred the Blade Demon's life-bound war blade to the clone.

The Blade Demon clone received the magic power restoration treasure and then separated an item from the war blade.

Su Yuan looked at this item with great surprise.

【Chord - Duet】: Lower-grade auxiliary-type acquired supreme treasure that can repeat an attack once, forming a duet effect.

This was a special auxiliary supreme treasure that could double combat power.

This treasure was quite unique. Su Yuan probed into it and sensed a duplication rule restriction inside!

This rule was extremely peculiar, something Su Yuan was encountering for the first time.

"This is worth studying carefully later."

Su Yuan stored the supreme treasure for future comprehension.

【Ding, Eternal Fame Value +1】

Su Yuan glanced at the fame value on the system panel, which had only increased by one point.

"Even the threat of death only gives 1 point of Eternal Fame Value? How stingy!"

Su Yuan felt the Blade Demon deserved his death!

Moreover, he was extremely clean, poverty-stricken and penniless. No wonder he targeted newcomers - he had truly fallen to the lowest point.

However, from him, Su Yuan obtained an artifact forging method.

By integrating root qi of laws into one's life-bound spiritual treasure, it could help break through constraints and reach the acquired supreme treasure level.

This method was profoundly mysterious. Su Yuan spent several hours comprehending it before mastering it.

Subsequently, Su Yuan separated nine wisps of star law root qi from his rule origin core and integrated them into his life-bound spiritual treasure, beginning its promotion to acquired supreme treasure.

Estimating the process, it would actually take one Yuan Assembly to complete!

This left Su Yuan speechless;

this method was somewhat impractical too.

Su Yuan shook his head and locked onto the calamity specters wandering in this area.

With several flashes, Su Yuan found one calamity specter.

The white ghostly figure noticed Su Yuan's approach and immediately moved toward him.

Su Yuan swung his sword, sending a sharp sword light striking at the entity.

The ghostly figure flickered momentarily, its body easily passing through the sharp sword light as it continued pouncing toward Su Yuan.

"Intangibility?"

Su Yuan discerned the essence of the ghost's evasion - at that instant, its body became like nothingness, completely avoiding the sword light.

A moment later, the ghost returned to normal.

Su Yuan directly unleashed several dozen sword strikes.

The sword lights sealed the ghostly figure, finally with several strikes landing on it.

As the calamity specter approached, it scratched Su Yuan with its sinister claws.

Su Yuan felt his flesh, blood, and Nascent Soul being scraped away by ten percent in that instant!

"What is this thing?"

Su Yuan was shocked.

He rapidly retreated while countering with hundreds of sword strikes!

The sword lights shuttled back and forth through the calamity specter ghost, continuously weakening it.

Su Yuan had to evade, avoiding another attack from the calamity specter.

The duo chased and fled across a long distance in mid-air, the calamity specter clinging to Su Yuan like maggots in bones.

Wisps of Calamity Qi also continuously invaded Su Yuan during the battle, with very noticeable negative effects.

Fortunately, Su Yuan possessed the 【Tear of Eternity】. Without even needing his Dao Fruit to eradicate it, he directly collected it into the 【Tear of Eternity】, where it transformed into teardrops merging with the Tear of Eternity.

"What exactly is this thing?"

Su Yuan's 【Mental Echo】 had no effect on this calamity specter because it simply had no thoughts calling out to Su Yuan, as if it lacked intelligence entirely.

"Quite interesting!"

Su Yuan remained calm, continuously circling with the entity in one area, his attacks still methodically striking the white ghost!

This battle lasted a full ten years!

Indeed, Su Yuan had fought a single calamity specter ghost for an entire decade.

Su Yuan's combat skills had become more sharp and fierce.

His movement techniques had also become bizarre and varied, and evading the calamity specter's scratches had become second nature!

If the Blade Demon were still alive and witnessed Su Yuan's current combat power, he would absolutely exclaim in astonishment, because Su Yuan's combat proficiency had increased tenfold compared to when he killed the Blade Demon!

But Su Yuan's greatest harvest wasn't in combat techniques, but in law comprehension.

Under the enhancement of 【Daoist Techniques Naturally】, he could comprehend laws during battle. From the calamity specter, Su Yuan gradually grasped traces of the Rule of Intangibility and the Rule of Calamity.

When Su Yuan integrated the comprehended laws into his attack techniques, he finally inflicted substantial damage on the ghostly figure.

The ghost gradually accumulated numerous wounds on its body. Although they recovered instantly, the ghost's form became increasingly translucent.

"The Law of Intangibility! The Law of Calamity!"

Su Yuan hadn't expected that comprehending these two laws would take him ten years!

And this was ten years in cultivation state! The consumed rest time energy amounted to one billion years!

This showed how special the laws embodied by the white ghost were.

After grasping a trace, subsequent comprehension wasn't easy either.

Su Yuan continued fighting for several more decades!

Until a certain moment when Su Yuan completely suppressed the ghostly figure, he summoned the 【Tear of Eternity】 and forcibly accommodated it inside.

The white ghost became docile after entering the 【Tear of Eternity】, becoming part of the Tear of Eternity's power.

"So difficult!"

Su Yuan exhaled deeply.

From Su Yuan's finger, Su Li spoke up: "Master is amazing!"

He smiled: "I'm impressive, right? With effort, you can achieve this too!"

Su Li sighed: "Master, you're teasing me. If effort alone worked, I couldn't defeat this calamity specter even after cultivating for a thousand Kalpas!"

"Haha, you just need a little help to manage it too!" Su Yuan stroked the ring on his finger.

Su Li said: "Master, why didn't you summon the other two clones to attack together? If you had joined forces earlier, it should have been resolved quickly."

Su Yuan waved his hand: "That was just practice earlier. Now begins the plundering and slaughter!"

Two figures materialized beside Su Yuan - precisely the Banyan clone and the Blade Demon clone.

Currently, both clones had recovered their magic power, both being capable fighters at the early stage of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal.

With Su Yuan's main body leading and the two following, all three simultaneously performed spatial teleportation, appearing abruptly beside another calamity specter.

Three figures attacked the calamity specter simultaneously.

After his power transformation, Su Yuan could deal with calamity specters with great ease. With three bodies coordinating, it became even simpler.

Under Su Yuan's assault, the calamity specter had no chance to fight back.

It took only three days to suppress this calamity specter.

Three sword lights easily split this calamity specter into several pieces.

Su Yuan summoned the 【Tear of Eternity】 once again and collected this calamity specter.

Another teardrop appeared in the starry space within the Tear of Eternity.

"The power of the Tear of Eternity is gradually accumulating!"

Su Yuan was pleased and continued hunting calamity specters.

When encountering the third calamity specter, Su Yuan deployed the 【Tear of Eternity】. A massive force suppressed the calamity specter, greatly reducing its mobility.

Under the attacks of Su Yuan's three bodies, it took only several hours to defeat the third calamity specter and store it in the 【Tear of Eternity】.

The power contained within the Tear of Eternity was now beginning to take shape.

Su Yuan willed it and continued teleporting. After several flashes, he found another solitary calamity specter.

Finding calamity specters so easily was because during his previous battle with the Blade Demon, many calamity specters had been attracted. After the Banyan clone lured them away, mental coordinates were left behind, making them easy to locate.

The fourth calamity specter was even easier to deal with;

he resolved it in just one hour.

The fifth one - a quarter of an hour!

The sixth one - half a quarter!

The tenth one - instantly suppressed!

At the eleventh, Su Yuan encountered a calamity specter with power comparable to a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, accompanied by ten ordinary calamity specters wandering together.

Before the powerful calamity specter could react, Su Yuan swiftly captured all ten ordinary calamity specters with lightning speed!

The Tear of Eternity now contained teardrops from 20 calamity specters!

Each teardrop possessed power at the early Hunyuan Great Luo stage. With 20 layers stacked, plus other items, the 【Tear of Eternity】's power had reached the mid-stage Hunyuan Great Luo level.

The effect of the Eternal trait was outrageously powerful.

The powerful calamity specter was enraged and charged toward Su Yuan.

Su Yuan's eyes lit up: "Perfect timing!"

Su Yuan collided with it without hesitation.

The terrifying calamity specter power of the calamity specter assaulted Su Yuan.

Su Yuan activated 【Great Power Bearing】, reducing the damage to one millionth of its original force.

The powerful calamity specter power still caused significant damage to Su Yuan.

Su Yuan laughed heartily, engaging in close combat with the calamity specter, transforming the power of the Starry Dao Road into fist-swords as he grappled with it at close range.

After several bouts, Su Yuan waved at the calamity specter: "Bye bye, I'll come find you later!"

Whoosh! Su Yuan teleported away from the spot to other locations, hunting ordinary calamity specters to plunder.

Su Yuan teleported rapidly through this dangerous area. The interior region of the Primordial Isle wasn't as large as he imagined, and the number of calamity specters wasn't too high either.

After sweeping through the entire area, Su Yuan only found slightly over a thousand ordinary calamity specters.

As Su Yuan searched and plundered, these calamity specters were ultimately all collected into the interior of the 【Tear of Eternity】.

At this point, Su Yuan finally discovered that deep underground in one part of the island's interior, over a dozen Hunyuan realm cultivators were hidden.
