Chapter 519 The Ancient Demon's Finger: The Danger of Demonic Corruption
In just a few moves, four people were eliminated instantly.
It is evident that Wang Yu's combat ability at the Nascent Soul stage already possesses extremely high dominance, leaving only the Ancient Beast True Monarch Luo Tianji and his natal spirit beast Bi'an behind.
Influenced by unknown reasons, even though he knew he was no match for Wang Yu, Luo Tianji rushed forward. With a sudden lash of his ancient beast whip, the size of the Bixie suddenly doubled.
The black gravity ring suddenly landed on Wang Yu, causing his figure to freeze for a moment. It was at this moment that Bi'an used earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic or technique) to reach Wang Yu's side.
The colossal rock formation resembling a dragon's head materialized in an instant, snapping its jaws at his head, but... it was no use!
Even with a gravity force a hundred times stronger, it would be as light as a feather in the face of Wang Yu's robust physique.
The right hand holding the bow slashed fiercely at the rocky dragon's head.
The crimson spiritual light gushing from the Sun-Piercing Demon Bow instantly reversed its properties, and a black ice blade condensed on the bow arm. With the dual enhancement of the Silver Blood Divine Power and the Power Field, it directly shattered the rock dragon's head!
And its momentum did not diminish, it struck the Bixie's hard head with a violent explosion, like sparks from the clash of metal. The Bixie was stunned and disoriented, its body flying backward uncontrollably.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Yu pulled back with his left hand.
The Yellow Spring Great Handprint, empowered by the Yellow Spring Dharma, arrived instantly, grabbing the Bixie's flying body and forcibly pulling it back. Its extremely strong corrosive power caused a large amount of its mane to fall off.
After weakening its defensive capabilities, the Blood and Flesh Demon Sword immediately slashed out.
—Blood Slaughtering Heart-Slaying Sword!
The combined mental and physical attack left the already weakened Bixi completely stunned, and its massive form plummeted uncontrollably to the ground.
With a deafening roar, the impact created a crater nearly a kilometer in diameter, as if the entire earth had caved in.
At that time.
Luo Tianji charged forward again, unleashing a magic weapon shaped like a round bead. The bead was as heavy as ten thousand jin and crashed into Wang Yu's chest like a meteor.
They tried to buy time for Bixi, but... it was no use.
Wang Yu merely opened his mouth and unleashed the Ice Dragon Flame using the Flame-Spitting Technique, his target still being the Bi'an!
The sunken earth transformed into a blue sea of fire, and endless ice crystals were spreading. After the immense pearl struck Wang Yu, he seemed completely unaffected, not even blinking.
He scooped it up with his backhand and washed it away with the power of the Yellow Springs Dharma.
In less than two breaths, this treasure no longer belonged to the Ancient Beast True Monarch. The Yellow Springs magic power would completely destroy the magic weapon, but the Yellow Springs intent was an excellent means of seizing someone else's treasure.
Often, a single wash can remove the owner's spiritual imprint and directly make it one's own.
The next moment.
Wang Yu vanished in a flash of light, then instantly appeared behind the Ancient Beast True Monarch. His right hand moved like lightning, piercing into Luo Tianji's body and penetrating deep into his dantian.
This move is called the "Infant-Capturing Hand"!
Similar in nature to the Core Formation stage's Core Reaping Technique, it is one of the most popular demonic cultivation techniques in the corresponding realm of the Crimson Kite, and is a subject that everyone must learn.
The ancient beast's nascent soul was almost powerless to resist and was easily captured by Wang Yu, who then threw it directly into the Glazed Pagoda.
The battle is now over.
The battle ended with Wang Yu achieving a complete victory, and this was without him using his full strength. If he had used the Twelve Phases of the Moon, these guys would have been dead long ago.
Xueyu was also stunned throughout the whole thing. Even though they had been together day and night and knew each other very well, she never expected that Wang Yu's strength could reach this level.
The process was so smooth, it could only be described as flowing smoothly.
"Master... the Longevity Fruit!"
Xueyu, who was about to say something, suddenly remembered the treasures here and hurriedly urged Wang Yu to take them away.
"Don't rush, there's still one thing to deal with."
He was referring to the Bixi, which had lost its master's blessing. The Bixi had returned to its original size, but its strength had greatly diminished. It was currently sealed inside by the ice crystals formed by the Ice Dragon Flame.
Wang Yu licked his lips, and black smoke formed from the evil thoughts of the Heavenly Demon overflowed from his body, instantly creating the image of an evil demon.
Unaffected by the ice crystals, the billowing black smoke flowed directly into Bixi's body. Wang Yu then activated the Asura Dharma Intent, repeatedly tormenting Bixi's heart.
Until the other party completely loses consciousness and is controlled by the evil thoughts of the Heavenly Demon.
"Heavenly Demon Transformation!"
With a low shout in his heart, the indestructible body of the Bixie quickly disintegrated, turning into streams of pure blood that flowed into Wang Yu's body.
He also showed an expression of utter infatuation.
His muscles trembled and began to transform in a strange and sinister way. The initial transformation was relatively slow, but Wang Yu did manage to steal the bloodline power of the Bixie through his innate demonic fetus body.
A full incense stick's time had passed when Wang Yu's figure was replaced by a special blue-black Bixie, its powerful ice and earth elemental energy mixed together.
It unleashed an overwhelming demonic aura!
It should be noted that the Bixi is a beast-level bloodline, and this transformation is enough for Wang Yu to continue using after he achieves the Nascent Soul stage. Its potential is much greater than that of the artificial weapon, the Extreme Yin Dragon Body.
The physical enhancements to his physique were also very noticeable.
The Heavenly Demon's Myriad Transformations could change skin and bones, an effect that was already incredibly powerful. However, Wang Yu felt there was still untapped potential, or perhaps the Innate Demonic Embryo Body could advance once more.
We just haven't found a development direction yet.
After moving around in the form of a Bixie for a while, Wang Yu transformed back into human form. Here, he was utilizing the power of a great demon in human form, so the human form he manifested had obvious demon characteristics.
A pair of curved dragon horns, and a head full of dark blue hair.
His hair is very thick, giving him a somewhat wild look. His face is not much different from his original appearance. If this minor flaw is used well, it is not a disadvantage at all.
After sorting through his haul, he turned his attention back to the Longevity Fruit, which seemed far too strange to look at.
This made Wang Yu doubt its authenticity.
If the Longevity Fruit truly existed, the Azure Dragon Demon Lord hiding in the secret realm would have no reason not to take it. Therefore, even though Xue Yu urged him repeatedly, he remained unmoved.
After checking on Yan Ling and Yu Tangtang, who were suppressed by the Ice Prison Demon Seal, and confirming that their lives were not in danger, he began to think of a way to break the deadlock.
Regardless of the truth of this place, the environment is definitely some kind of illusion, considering the building's shape, which resembles a large wooden box, when we entered.
A sudden inspiration struck Wang Yu.
With a casual flick of the finger, an ice crystal suddenly sprouted from the ground and continued to spread towards the sky.
This seemingly simple method, though lacking in wisdom, was remarkably practical. Over the next few minutes, Wang Yu watched as the icicle gradually bent.
It's like being trapped in a kaleidoscope, twisting into indescribable patterns without any pattern, until you feel the sensation of touching the real thing.
Wang Yu's eyes lit up.
"Now!"
He closed his eyes, transformed into aurora, and rushed along the ice pillar. After a few breaths, he reached the top, and Wang Yu punched him without saying a word.
Then I heard a crisp "click" sound.
The warm sunshine and gentle spring breeze vanished instantly.
A gloomy and damp environment came into view, with only the light of a shark oil lamp around, but the ground and the surrounding walls were all covered with a thick layer of flesh and blood.
The constant dripping of disgusting mucus can easily cause physical discomfort.
As for the fruit tree that bears the fruit of immortality...
Its true form was actually a low-lying flower bud, its roots wrapped around a withered finger, and beneath the flower was a green fruit that emitted a strange fragrance.
This is the pure life force that Xueyu sensed. Its true form is actually a finger of the Ancient Demon of Life, and also the core of the Eight Gates Escape Array.
Those demonic life forces were drawn from this finger, and the fact that they are still effective after so many years shows how terrifying the ancient demon is.
He's probably not a simple character even in the Upper Realm.
After the illusion was broken, Wang Yu also discovered the core object of this place, which was a mirage pearl!
Among the ancient remnants is a creature called the Mirage Dragon, which is the offspring of a true dragon and a clam spirit. It possesses the innate ability to create real illusions, which is why Wang Yu's divine sense could not detect its flaws.
The illusion created by activating the mirage pearl is like the mirage dragon personally orchestrating it, and everything in the illusion can receive tactile feedback from the real world.
That's enough to deceive everyone!
"Unfortunately, it's just a core similar to a Dragon Ball, rather than a solidified essence of flesh and blood."
To devour a living being using the Heavenly Demon Transformation technique, the prerequisites are quite stringent. To devour a living being, one must first use malevolent thoughts to cause its mind to collapse.
To successfully acquire the myriad forms of flesh and blood, one needs to contain about 80% of the body's essence and blood. Simply put, devouring a complete corpse is the easiest way to succeed.
Mirage pearls are not included in this category, but they can be refined into suitable magical artifacts.
It wasn't a complete loss.
After Wang Yu fell back to the ground from the "ceiling," Xue Yu finally came to her senses and murmured.
"It's not the immortality fruit... I've been tricked!"
Wang Yu tapped her little head and said earnestly.
"Although your strength has improved rapidly, you lack a lot of common sense and experience in the cultivation world. Luo Tianji has a top-grade demon-locking bracelet."
"From now on, you will stay inside and constantly sense the situation outside, learning from my choices when facing different situations."
"Oh~"
Xueyu responded listlessly. She had already laid down. It was better for her to practice the Human Desire Technique a few more times than to study hard. She then returned to her spirit beast pouch and did not show herself again.
Wang Yu didn't take it seriously. The Demon-Locking Bracelet was a top-grade fourth-tier magic weapon with five independent spaces inside for spirit pets to rest and for absorbing spiritual energy from the outside world to cultivate.
It's not the right time to refine it yet, so we'll continue using the spirit beast pouch.
Focus your attention on the Ancient Demon Finger.
The fruit on the flower bud is just a decoy; the real treasure is this finger. Wang Yu has a strong feeling that as long as he can refine this finger, his body refinement realm will definitely be able to break through to the fifth level.
Become a pure-blooded body refiner comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator!
But the same applies.
He also had to bear the danger of refining the body of an ancient demon. He knew very well that the level of the ancient demon was likely to be unimaginably high. Otherwise, the immortals would not have gone to such great lengths to build a prison world and even change the rules of this world as a result.
No matter how you look at it, a lot of effort was put in.
The existence of prisons is necessary precisely because it is impossible to execute enemies.
To some extent, the ancient demons are beings that even immortals cannot kill; they can only separate the spirit from the body.
But this might not be a bad opportunity for him!
It's unthinkable to completely refine it into one's own power, but one can break through by using its enormous life force. It just so happens that the ancient demon's physical body and soul have been separated, and the body can only react instinctively.
Wang Yu repeatedly simulated and calculated the dangers involved.
It feels like the absorption of excessive demonic life force would lead to the danger of demonic contamination, and the breakthrough cannot be replaced by the Heavenly Demon Transformation.
The Heavenly Demon's ever-changing techniques are so thorough that everything, including energy forms, can be altered based on race and bloodline.
Therefore, after Wang Yu transforms into his demon form, the immortal spiritual bone within his body will become a special spiritual bone corresponding to his demonized physique. Although the strength is the same, it cannot serve as a vessel for breaking through to the fifth level of body refinement.
This can only be overcome by using one's own body.
After thinking for a long time.
Wang Yu looked at the Prajna Heart Sutra, which had reached the minor completion stage, in the display case, as well as the Seven Hearts Treasure Wheel Sacred Tree in the Heart Lake, and the Crystal Heart Realm, which was clear and enlightened.
He felt that even if he were controlled by demons, he could resist this loss of control with his superior mental strength. In that case, taking some risks was acceptable.
"The timid starve, the bold thrive; let's drink!"
After all, both the Azure Dragon Demon Lord and the Ice Phoenix Corpse hovering outside the Phoenix Palace are problems that require the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator to handle.
Wang Yu will have to face these things sooner or later, so taking risks is inevitable.
And if he succeeds, his gains will be astonishing.
If he could use the Heavenly Demon Transformation to devour the Ice Phoenix Corpse, his strength would immediately soar to a higher level, and he would be more confident in confronting the Azure Dragon Demon Lord then.
After leaving the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm, his freedom in the outside world was completely different from his previous situation. Even Chi Tian was only fit to lick his toes!
Fortune is dangerous...
The thought had barely crossed his mind when Wang Yu dismissed it, reminding him that it was best not to try to heal himself in such a crucial moment.
Once he makes a decision, Wang Yu is always extremely decisive.
Walk directly to the flower bud and uproot it.
He pinched the withered finger and swallowed it whole. The Ice Soul Saint Demon Scripture, at the fifth-order perfect realm, began to operate, continuously using the refining method to squeeze the infinite life force from the ancient demon finger.
Begin a comprehensive strengthening of every detail of your limbs and bones.
At the same time, Wang Yu also pushed the supernatural power [Immortal Spirit Body], which aided in physical cultivation, to its limit. The immortal spiritual light emanating from his entire body illuminated the entire dim environment.
As he absorbed and refined the demonic life force, Wang Yu's body swelled and throbbed, and at times an arm would grow from his shoulder, which he would then sever and regenerate.
Sometimes a tumor would grow on his abdomen, which he would then remove entirely.
These are all demonic characteristics of life force, which he concentrated in a certain part of his body and expelled from his body by directly cutting.
And with the ability to control the body, the wound can be restored to the normal appearance of the human body, rather than growing back an arm or a disgusting thing like a tumor.
This cycle of cutting and growing back, then cutting again, continued for three days and three nights until Wang Yu's physical body reached its true critical point.
The crucial moment for a breakthrough has arrived.
Wang Yu suddenly opened his eyes, only to see his once clear eyes quickly filled with crimson, as demonic power gradually drove away his humanity.
The danger of demonic corruption has arrived!
