Chapter 131 Demonic Embryo Seizes Spiritual Root
The completion of the Demon Embryo Profound Origin Secret Incantation means that his goal of defying fate is about to be achieved, and things like body refinement and foundation building will have to wait.
"It's finally done."
At this moment, Wang Yu's expression revealed his undisguised joy.
Having raised Wang Wu for several years, he was finally going to use him. With his dual spiritual root aptitude combined with the effects of the placement slot, he dared not imagine how fast his cultivation speed would soar.
Calm your mind and focus your consciousness into your body to check your condition.
really!
The originally clump-like spiritual root was completely covered by black and red magic patterns, and it was no longer root-like in shape.
Instead—the Profound Primordial Demonic Embryo!
A demonic spiritual root aptitude derived from the base of the five elements' discarded spiritual roots.
The five elements attributes are still there, and even Wang Yu's previously mutated Yin and Ice attributes of water spirit root have reversed.
After shrinking, it was contained within the body of the Xuan Yuan Demon Embryo, seemingly transforming into the five elements within its chest, falling into complete silence, but not disappearing.
The enhancements and mutations brought about by the previous "Cold Blood Technique" and "Corpse Demon Secret Method" did not disappear, but instead appeared outside the body of the Xuan Yuan Demon Embryo.
Two slightly damaged runes, one ice-blue and one dark gray, were imprinted on the surface of the demonic fetus. They were gradually disappearing and turning into nutrients to nourish the demonic fetus.
After careful observation, Wang Yu discovered...
This Xuan Yuan Demon Embryo has a unique appearance, resembling a reclining infant, quite similar to the legendary Nascent Soul, except that it lacks facial features.
With it, Wang Yu would possess the aptitude to encompass any method of the demonic path, which is completely different from the orthodox "spiritual root".
The so-called "seizing others' talents" is actually absorbing their spiritual roots to nourish the Xuan Yuan Demon Embryo. The stronger the Demon Embryo, the higher his demonic talent!
Therefore, it doesn't matter what the spiritual root attribute of the one being taken is; the Xuan Yuan Demon Embryo accepts all comers and can be consumed.
"So that's how it is."
While pondering, Wang Yu entered the stone chamber. Wang Wu, bound by iron chains and dressed in tattered clothes, knelt on the ground. Hearing footsteps, he couldn't help but tremble all over.
His eyes were filled with fear, and seeing this, Wang Yu couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
To perfectly seize another's spiritual root, having a similar bloodline is only the first requirement. According to the process, one also needs to plant "demonic thoughts" to continuously erode the other's sanity and eventually completely corrupt them.
It devours everything in its target by mimicking the way a demon possesses a body.
Whether the demonic thought can succeed depends on the time required for its catalytic infiltration. After all, the survival instinct of living beings is hard to resist. If the psychological defenses are broken down in advance, it will be much easier.
Therefore, he had been trying every means to torture Wang Wu and completely destroy his will for the past few years, all for the sake of facilitating his actions today.
Of course, only he knows how much personal resentment was involved.
The closer the two were, the more violently Wang Wu trembled.
When Wang Yu grabbed the other person's chin and forcibly lifted his head, he trembled like a sieve.
Fear seeps into my very bones!
"Very good, look me in the eyes."
Wang Wu involuntarily looked up, and the moment their eyes met, Wang Yu's eyes turned completely black, and he opened his mouth to utter a few strange syllables.
The invisible demonic thought quickly took root in Wang Wu's sea of consciousness, rapidly absorbing a large amount of negative emotions and growing stronger, while Wang Yu also whispered in his ear.
"Relax your mind and body, and don't resist."
"Relax...you'll be free soon."
"You don't have to suffer anymore, you don't have to endure torment anymore. You can finally get a good night's sleep and leave everything to me."
Wang Wu's expression was relaxed, but his eyes widened even more.
The blackness representing the devil bloomed in his pupils like a kaleidoscope, completely taking control of his mind and body.
Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Wang Wu, completely broken, surrendered everything he had, finally finding liberation from this boundless sea of suffering.
The foundation laid in advance determines the efficiency at this time.
With his hands forming a hand seal, Wang Yu took a deep breath and continued to utter strange syllables that did not resemble human language. A rustling sound rang in his ears, as if some multi-legged creature was crawling in the darkness.
The evil thoughts of the Heavenly Demon are not without side effects. Human cultivators who want to utilize them must withstand the erosion of their rationality.
Previously, relying entirely on feedback from the placement bar, Wang Yu himself experienced almost no pressure.
Now that he is personally performing the spell, he cannot avoid this influence, but his mastery of the secret incantation at its perfect level is enough to make him immune to this erosion.
This shows just how much pressure other practitioners of this secret mantra bear. Using it rashly before achieving perfection is far too risky and could easily lead to backlash.
A moment later.
The illusory sounds in his consciousness reached their limit, and in reality, Wang Wu's body was visibly shriveling up, with fine black threads emerging from his pores and eventually coalescing into the shape of a pill.
It quickly entered Wang Yu's body.
The dark, mysterious demonic embryo received the nutrients from the spiritual root that existed within the body but could not be found in flesh and blood.
It immediately burst forth with black and red demonic light, the runes on its body rapidly increased, and two new spiritual root runes were generated.
One red and one green represent the fire elemental root and the wood elemental root, respectively.
It is being devoured by the Xuan Yuan Demon Embryo at a speed visible to the naked eye.
a long time.
Wang Yu suddenly opened his eyes. Although his aura remained the same, the feeling he gave off was completely different.
After a moment of careful observation, Wang Yu laughed unrestrainedly.
"This is a dual spiritual root! This is a top-grade spiritual root! Finally... finally I got this ticket!"
Looking at the withered corpse before him, he could turn it into dust with the slightest touch.
"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, our feud is over."

Several days later.
Having experienced the exhilaration of cultivation with dual spiritual roots, he was almost overwhelmed with pleasure, reaching an insane speed.
Over the past four years, he has refined four improved versions of the Supreme Cold Blood Pill, increasing his spiritual power by 60 units.
The patient has basically reached the maximum intake of this elixir, and a partial protective barrier against the Cold Blood Pill has already formed within the body.
With the two placement slots working together, spiritual power increased by 115 units, and self-cultivation increased by 3 units, for a total increase of 178 units in spiritual power cultivation.
Adding to the original 404 shares, the total reaches 582 shares.
It's an incredible leap forward!
It is only 118 strands short of the 700 strands of spiritual energy required to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining, which would normally take several more years.
But... everything is different now.
The superior aptitude represented by dual spiritual roots allowed Wang Yu's daily spiritual power to increase dramatically, far exceeding previous improvements, resulting in a complete transformation.
Feedback on the Foundation Establishment Perfection Technique, Superior Qualification, and Never-Rest Placement Panel.
The efficiency of a single placement slot has been increased to "50 strands/day", and two placement slots will yield "100 strands/day". What was the previous efficiency? The previous efficiency was "8 strands/day".
This growth rate is more than ten times; describing it as a "strand" is not intuitive enough. To put it another way, it's "1 strand/day," meaning he only needs 118 days to advance to the ninth level of Qi Refining.
It only takes four months.
This speed is above dual spiritual roots but slightly inferior to heavenly spiritual roots. After all, the difference between second and first place is a qualitative change.
In comparison, his original cultivation speed seemed like a joke.
It's no wonder that the cultivation world values aptitude so highly.
