# Chapter 1365: Immortality and Death
"Immortality, let power endure forever!" Lin Feng's pupils were pitch black, his demon eyes fixed on that immortal demon general. The demonic will in his eyes was eternal and indestructible. Even if he used all his demon will to resist, trying to destroy this immortal demon thought, he still found it difficult to eliminate even a single casual gaze.
The power of the demon path was already strong and overbearing. With immortality, its power more than doubled. And his sword techniques and divine abilities were swift and fierce, endless in slaughter. But it was only a matter of an instant. If the attacking sharp sword could be immortal, converging together, how terrifying would that power be?
In Lin Feng's pitch-black demon eyes, a blazing demon intent emerged. The essence of immortality could combine with any essence power, unleashing even stronger force. He had to master it.
"Boom, crack!" No one knew how much time had passed when another demon statue exploded. Of the eighteen demon general statues, only sixteen remained. Two had been comprehended by people who had stepped into the seventh layer. None of them were simple; their comprehension abilities were not weak. Several were mid-rank Honored Martial, having immersed themselves in the demon path for longer, with deep understanding and insight into the demon path.
But all of this seemed unrelated to Lin Feng. Regardless of the eighth layer, his purpose at this moment was this immortal demon general. Apart from this, there was nothing else in his eyes. Everything else ceased to exist as he immersed himself in the comprehension of immortality.
After a long time, strands of immortal demon path aura began to emanate from Lin Feng's body, seemingly intertwining with the demon path aura of this space, rolling wildly. The immortal demon intent seemed as if it would never decay, always existing there, gathering more and more intensely. In the end, the immortal demon intent wrapped around Lin Feng's entire body. The area where Lin Feng sat cross-legged was filled entirely with immortal demon intent, and it was still growing stronger, because it did not decay, because the immortal demon intent continued to emanate outward.
In Lin Feng's pitch-black pupils, there also seemed to be a trace of immortal intent. The demon intent was strong, never decaying.
"Crack!" The third demon statue split open. Another person had comprehended the demon intent of a demon general. At the same time, a wisp of black light, like a black lightning bolt, shot into the middle of the demon hall, directly entering someone's mind.
When the fifth demon statue shattered, that immortal demon general finally showed cracks. On the massive demon general statue, a line appeared in the middle, as if it were about to split open. Yet the demon general remained firm, not directly breaking apart.
"Crack, crack, crack..." One crack after another appeared, but the statue still did not collapse. This scene caused several people in the demon hall to cast their gazes toward the immortal demon general statue. This statue contained immortal demon intent. Even its statue seemed as if it would never decay, unwilling to shatter.
"Whoosh!" A light burst forth from the immortal demon general's body, directly rushing into Lin Feng's brow. At this moment, Lin Feng felt his head tremble violently. It seemed to be a page of ancient scripture, or perhaps a demon statue, or rather, an immortal demon general, carving himself into a massive page of demon scripture, directly imprinting onto him. At this moment, Lin Feng felt as if an immortal demon intent had pierced through his body, as if an immortal demon general was merging with him.
"Whoosh!" On Lin Feng's body, demon light blazed forth. The immortal demon intent pierced through his consciousness, pierced through his body, and even seemed to pour into his soul, like a baptism, transmitting the immortal demon intent to him.
"So terrifying, is this the benefit of comprehending a demon general statue? It's as if an immortal demon general is merging into my body!" Lin Feng's mind trembled, shaken. He had never comprehended the essence of immortality before. If he had gone to comprehend demon fire will or other wills, it might have been easier, making the power of flame essence stronger.
But soon, Lin Feng stopped thinking about it, completely immersing himself in it, allowing that page of the demon general statue to imprint on his body. The immortal demon intent rolled without cease.
This scene continued for a long time. When Lin Feng's eyes opened again, his entire body was filled with surging immortal demon intent, as if this demon intent would exist forever between heaven and earth, never decaying.
"Demon essence has stepped into the fourth layer peak, and immortal essence has directly stepped into the third layer!" Sensing the essence power on his body, a smile appeared in Lin Feng's pitch-black pupils. The demon essence had come from behind to catch up, already matching many of his other essences. And this immortal essence had directly stepped into the third layer, equal to several of his other essences.
Now, the essence power Lin Feng possessed had surpassed ten absolutes, most remaining at the third and fourth layers. Only the sound wave essence was relatively weak, only at the second layer.
Lin Feng was not too surprised at surpassing ten absolutes. He was very clear about his own comprehension ability. As long as there was a suitable opportunity, he could comprehend any essence. But essence was not about having more being better. When one had few essences, having a few more types of essence power was certainly stronger. But when he had reached his current level, there was no need to pursue quantity anymore; quality was what mattered.
Demon essence, immortal essence, sound wave essence — these were what Lin Feng wanted. That was why he went to comprehend them later. Cultivating demon techniques, demon essence was unavoidable. Immortality allowed power to endure forever, strengthening any means of attack. Sound wave — the Nine Nether Demon Melody was related to sound waves, and also demon curses, this formless and traceless power, very formidable. In the future, if he merged immortality with sound waves, it would be even stronger. A single angry roar, the sound wave never decaying, enough to change the color of heaven and earth.
Lin Feng's gaze fell on the eighteen demon generals. Now, eight of the eighteen demon general statues had shattered, leaving only ten.
Lin Feng did not look at the other demon general statues. His pupils directly fell on another demon statue — the one containing death demon intent.
The moment Lin Feng's demon eyes made contact with that pair of death demon pupils, another sense of death arose, making him feel as if he were on the verge of death, as if it would strip away his life, take away his life force, and infuse death qi into his body.
One glance could kill a person. This was death demon intent. If manifested at the Honored Martial realm, it should be a combination of death essence and demon essence.
"If that were a true demon emperor, one glance could kill me!" Lin Feng had comprehended the power of death before, but he was still a bit short, not yet comprehending true death essence. But he had already glimpsed the path. The opposite of life essence, death essence, would also be comprehended by him.
Every living person possesses life force. The stronger one's martial cultivation, the higher one's realm, the more vast and powerful one's life force. Thus, one's lifespan is longer. Honored Martial experts can live for a thousand years. But no matter how strong one's cultivation, when life force is stripped away, death descends. One's physical body will surely die.
The power of death, the opposite of life, could be understood as the erosion of death force, or equally as the stripping away of life.
Countless insights into death instantly appeared in Lin Feng's heart. The death demon intent on his body grew strong and unceasing, as if this demon intent, falling on a person, could take their life in an instant.
Lin Feng was not alone. In this seventh-layer demon hall, there were others also comprehending the death demon general statue. Around their bodies, strands of death qi also swirled. Death force was certainly a powerful power. Those confident in their comprehension ability naturally wanted to comprehend it. But not everyone would choose the most powerful; they also had to choose what suited them best. Unlike Lin Feng, any power was suitable for him, so he only chose those that could strengthen his own power.
This time, comprehension was faster than with the immortal demon intent. When Lin Feng's body was filled with death demon intent, cracks also appeared on the demon general statue.
"Crack!" A crisp sound rang out. The demon general statue completely disintegrated. Death qi filled the air. A wisp of demon light, just like before, directly entered Lin Feng's body. A page of demon venerable carrying death demon intent, as if refining a dead demon into a demon intent thought, then placing it in the demon god hall for these people to comprehend.
"Boom!" Two vast surges of death demon intent shot up into the sky, as if about to pierce through the demon hall. Death demon intent — not only had Lin Feng comprehended it, but two other powerful demon prodigies had also comprehended it. But Lin Feng had been first, causing the demon general to shatter and taking away that page imprinted with the demon general's pattern.
"Crack, crack, bang..."
One demon venerable after another shattered. Demon light surged into the bodies of the crowd filled with demon qi. The eighteen demon statues were gradually stripped away by these people. These demon cultivators, like a group of bandits, were plundering the power of demons.
Lin Feng was completely immersed in death demon intent. For him, obtaining two powerful essence powers in the seventh layer of this demon god hall, having two demon general patterns pierce through his body, allowing him to continuously comprehend in the future — this was already enough. Those two patterns were like essence scriptures, allowing him to comprehend the power of essence.
"Crack!" When the last demon statue shattered, demon mist rolled violently in the demon hall. A demon path storm descended in the center of the demon hall, rushing up into the clouds. A rumbling, terrifying sound rang out. Demon qi converged into a destructive storm, breaking through to the eighth-layer hall. Within that terrifying storm, there was an open door. From there, one could pass to the eighth layer of the demon god hall.
"The opportunity the divine envoy spoke of!" The crowd's eyes focused. This terrifying demon storm should be the entrance to the eighth layer.
At the same time, the figures in the hall became clear. Two figures suddenly turned their gazes toward Lin Feng. Feeling the death demon intent on Lin Feng's body, a cold glint appeared in their eyes. But then, they turned their gazes to the storm formed by demon qi. Since the death demon intent had already been taken by Lin Feng, killing him would be useless. Besides, they didn't know Lin Feng's combat power. Here, no one could directly judge their combat power by realm alone!
