Chapter 580 Primordial Spirit Metamorphosis, Intent Weapon, Heavenly Demon Growth
Cultivating immortality knows no years.
When Wang Yu entered the cultivation world, he was only sixteen years old. This year, he is already four hundred and fourteen years old, exceeding the lifespan limit of Foundation Establishment cultivators, but Nascent Soul cultivators have a lifespan of three thousand two hundred years.
For him, his spiritual journey had just begun.
At that time.
In the temporary cave dwelling on the nameless deserted island in the East China Sea, another six months have passed since he comprehended the essence of the Dao of Slaughter.
That day.
The reborn primordial spirit completed its transformation in the Niwan Palace. The long sword formed from the intent of the Dao of Slaughter was completely integrated into the primordial spirit, and fine blood-like patterns appeared on the golden primordial spirit.
An ordinary person would be terrified into an idiot by just one glance at that terrifying killing intent.
It felt like being caught in an endless sea of blood.
Reaching out repeatedly will only lead to sinking deeper into the sea of blood.
Wang Yu slowly awoke.
His eyes flashed with a cold killing intent, as if his humanity had completely disappeared. The killing intent was powerful, but it also had its evil characteristics. The killing intent that penetrated deep into the essence of his primordial spirit reminded him of the scenes when Jin Miaoshan lost control many times back then.
This is remarkably similar to the demonic corruption of the ancient demon of slaying.
However, thanks to the effects of the Glazed Mindset, its ability to suppress and control killing intent is far superior to its performance against demonic contamination.
Almost instantly, the brilliance of humanity was restored.
"The right path is to control power; if one is enslaved by power, then one is better off without it..."
Muttering to himself, another fundamental scripture quickly surfaced in Wang Yu's mind—the "Rakshasa True Demon Scripture," a Nascent Soul inheritance bestowed upon him by Xie Xie'an during the Blood Abyss Trial!
The previous methods of this lineage have been lost, leaving only the profound mysteries of cultivation at the Nascent Soul stage, as well as the crafting diagrams for several supernatural powers, secret techniques, and the Heavenly Demon Bell and other demonic treasures of the same origin.
He used to be wary of demonic influence and never practiced this method.
After mastering the Demon-Crossing Mantra, and with the power of the Crystal Heart Realm, the demonic influence can be completely neutralized, and even transformed into nourishment to enrich his Heart Lake Space.
Both the Rakshasa Sutra and the Asura Sutra originate from the ancient demon of suicide. If this concept of the path of killing wants to continue to grow, there is actually a shortcut to take.
That is the inheritance of comprehending the way to kill demons.
The Asura Sutra is in Jin Miaoshan's hands. If he wanted to, he could easily obtain it. Now, his primordial spirit has undergone initial transformation and his strength has reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage.
Although the sword that embodies the way of killing has no physical form.
It is a seed for forging weapons of intent. By continuously infusing it with killing intent, it solidifies and transforms. Using it to kill and baptize will eventually give birth to the second stage of intent cultivation.
Artistic Conception Weapon!
This thing also has a more mysterious name—the [Seed of the Dao Fruit]!
The next step in the application of artistic conception, although it is integrated into the Divine Transformation Dharma Image, its own strength can still be further enhanced, condensing into a vessel to carry the Dao, which is the second stage.
The third stage involves the cultivation of cultivators at the Void Refinement stage and even the Dao Integration stage, which is currently unknown, but the direction of this advancement has been established.
Generally speaking, a peak Nascent Soul cultivator is considered qualified once they master one realm of intent, and realm-intent weapons are one of the cultivation goals of Void Refinement cultivators.
Although the rudimentary form of the Killing Path has the characteristics of a sword, it is not suitable for the attributes of the Yama Emperor's Sword. It is intended to be used for slaughter and to obtain a bloody baptism.
He needs to forge a Demonic Sword of the Killing Path as the foundation for carrying the power of intent, and it can also further accelerate the condensation of the intent weapon itself.
Therefore, in addition to comprehending the Rakshasa Sutra and enhancing the intensity of his killing intent, he also intended to find a demonic treasure within it as a weapon to carry his intent.
Even without being fully forged, the sword embryo is the best vessel, capable of growing alongside the illusory weapon of intent, with its progress readily assessable.
"let me see."
“Rakshasa Heavenly Demon Bell… Black Fiend Soul-Destroying Spear… Yincha Sacred Evil Banner… Bewitching Soul-Locking Tower… This is…”
The final recipe for a magical artifact quickly caught Wang Yu's attention. If the recipes in the Asura Scripture that were suitable for magical artifacts were the Asura Divine Sword, then...
Then this [Rakshasa Soul Sword] is the strongest demonic treasure recorded in the Rakshasa Sutra, without exception.
The Rakshasa Sutra places great emphasis on the soul. Cultivation, advancement, and supernatural techniques are all based on a powerful soul, thus it actually belongs to the ghost path and is slightly different from orthodox immortal cultivation.
The killing path, besides its extreme killing power over material things, also has a remarkable effect on the primordial spirit and soul, but it is definitely not as professional as described in the Rakshasa Sutra.
To kill, to sever the soul, to completely annihilate the trace of a living being.
This is the complete path to slaying the ancient demons.
Although Wang Yu did not cultivate the ancient demon's scriptures, he was still able to imitate his path and forge his own way.
"The killing intent of the killing path is not a weakness in terms of its killing effect on the primordial spirit, but rather an advantage. However, it is still inferior to the effect of the Rakshasa Soul Sword."
"If this magical artifact is used as the foundation for the growth of one's artistic conception, it will surely be able to integrate the mysteries of the Rakshasa, and its power in terms of severing the body and destroying the soul will far exceed its normal power."
Until one day, the weapon of intent was fully formed.
If one can devour reality with nothingness and transform it into a sword that is both real and not illusory, then this method can be considered complete.
The Rakshasa Soul Sword undoubtedly belongs to the level of a top-grade spiritual treasure at the Nascent Soul stage, which Wang Yu's weapon-refining skills are not yet capable of creating.
The Sun-Piercing Demon Bow is crafted by Wanbao Qiling at a master level.
The acquisition of the Yama Emperor's Sword was purely by chance.
Fortunately, this time all that's needed is to refine the sword embryo and let it grow in endless slaughter, making it a simple and direct growth-oriented magic sword.
Looking at the materials he possesses.
The raw soul gold can be used as the main material for the sword embryo, while blood essence stone, polar mithril, and Taiyin jade marrow can be used as auxiliary materials. Then, a million demon souls are selected from the Yama Emperor Sword and thoroughly refined to form the foundation of the soul sword. Only then can the sword embryo be successfully forged.
The Soul Sword exists in a form similar to a primordial spirit magic weapon.
Between the real and the illusory, it can attack the primordial spirit. After bearing the intent of the Dao of Slaughter, it will become another trump card in Wang Yu's hands, not a conventional means of attack.
Therefore, I will continue to comprehend the essence of the Way of Killing.
Ice Dragon Flame once again transformed into a workaholic, refining treasures for Wang Yu.
It is worth mentioning.
Comprehension of artistic conception can also be placed in the placement column, but even if Wang Yu's comprehension has been improved many times, the time required is no less than that required to deduce the Void Refining Technique.
[Placement Slot 7: Path of Slaughter (Tier 5/Artistic Conception)]
"The Path of Killing (1/100): Constant tempering, perfected in three hundred years."
This will be a long road.
In comparison, the improvement of fundamental skills is more promising.
[Placement Slot 1: Ten Directions Frozen Demon Path (Tier 5)]
"Ten Directions Frozen Demon Path (80/100): Twelve training sessions a day, perfected in twenty years."
This recipe comes from the ancient Frozen Demon.
The Ice Soul Holy Demon Scripture is difficult to reach the standard of the Void Refinement stage, but the Frozen Demon Path is different. It once had the first four stages of cultivation methods in the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect.
Wang Yu obtained this inheritance on his second trip to the Endless Ice Plains. Once the technique is perfected, he can use it to obtain a sixth-order Void Refining technique.
According to the rules of top-grade cultivation techniques, it could even support him to cultivate all the way to the early stage of Dao Integration, definitely belonging to the first-class profound inheritance.
Now that his comprehension has improved many times, the time needed for perfection has been reduced again and again, and he may have the opportunity to completely achieve perfection before the people from the upper realm arrive.
The Ten Directions Frozen Demon Fist, which Wang Yu had previously abandoned, can be picked up again and practiced.
In short, this retreat is not yet completely successful.
After consuming another tea leaf of enlightenment, the placement panel was responsible for comprehending the essence of the killing path, while his main body began to ponder the limit-breaking of the Yellow Springs Dharma.
And so it went, year after year.
Six years have passed again. Just when the Yellow Springs Dharma was only a hair's breadth away from being realized, the unusual activity in the outside world quickly awakened Wang Yu's consciousness.
It was too late to regret the Yellow Springs Dharma, which was just one step away.
The demon's head suddenly broke free and floated in front of him.
The demon inside was struggling violently. After his seclusion in Wanshou City, Wang Yu chose to feed living beings to accelerate the demon's growth.
By today, all that feed has been used up.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Demon entered a state of transformation and has now fully matured. This Heavenly Demon also belongs to the lineage of the Six Desires Demon Lord, but its power of desire is very special.
The true power of the six desires, which integrates the six kinds of desires!
Upon seeing this, Wang Yu's expression turned slightly strange.
If he's not mistaken, this Heavenly Demon should be one of the direct descendants of the Six Desires Demon Lord. The concept of reproduction for Heavenly Demons is different from that of all living beings.
It is a form of asexual reproduction, and all offspring are individuals that split off from the first generation. Although they have their own will, they are also unique clones.
There are countless Heavenly Demons, and the offspring of each Heavenly Demon are countless, but they all share the same origin, which is the reason for the formation of the various Heavenly Demon lineages.
The Six Desires Demon Lord, the Deceptive Demon Lord, the Heart-Stealing Demon Lord... and so on.
Every type of Heavenly Demon has a bloodline originator, namely the first Heavenly Demon, who accidentally captured the offspring of the Six Desires Demon Lord. The probability of this is not low, after all, strictly speaking...
Every type of desire-based demon is a descendant of the six desires.
only……
This one is quite special; it controls six kinds of desires simultaneously, which means its bloodline is very pure, reaching the level of a direct descendant.
It should be a clone produced within the second or third generation.
Killing offspring of this purity is like persecuting a prodigy of the human race; it would greatly increase the probability of attracting the attention of the Six Desires Demon Lord, and the risk of undergoing the tribulation of divine transformation would also rise sharply.
But Wang Yu wasn't worried at all. There were six wild Desire Demons residing in the Heavenly Demon Diagram. Releasing one of them to undergo tribulation on its own would be much safer than trying to summon a demon into his body by communicating with the Heavenly Demon Realm again.
Let's get back to the main topic.
The growth of the Heavenly Demon signifies that the time for the transformation of the innate demonic body has arrived, but he still lacks a way to ensure success in absorbing the fully formed Heavenly Demon due to its inherent risks.
Direct absorption is absolutely out of the question; the risks are too great.
"Second Nascent Soul Secret Technique..."
Wang Yu sorted through the information in his mind. This secret technique came from the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Soul Sect. He obtained this secret technique when he broke through to the Golden Core stage in his early years.
Although he had some understanding, he did not practice it.
The Xuan Yuan Demon Embryo Secret Technique comes from the Demon Heart Venerable. In the past, he chose to combine the technique of external incarnation with the second nascent soul secret technique to refine the Heavenly Demon, making it a suitable object to be absorbed.
But in the end, he failed and died tragically at the hands of the Heavenly Demon.
Theoretically, this path is feasible, but the problem is that the instinct of the demon to possess another body will cause the avatar to become uncontrollable, thus making fusion impossible.
Even at crucial moments, control of the main body is taken away.
There are two solutions here. One is to completely erase the Heavenly Demon's will, thereby being able to resist its instinctive body-snatching reaction.
The second type... is the complete enslavement of the Heavenly Demon's will.
The so-called complete enslavement refers to being able to control every thought of the Heavenly Demon, rather than simply controlling its life and death, otherwise it would be meaningless.
Mind control can be achieved through mental manipulation techniques, but unfortunately, Wang Yu does not possess the corresponding techniques.
Therefore, only the first option can be chosen.
At that time, one can only rely on their own instinct to resist the demon's possession. Lacking willpower to control it, this risk is still within an acceptable range, but it is still a high-risk issue.
Wang Yu estimated the probability of success to be less than 50%.
But it's worth a try.
As for a method to erase the will of the Heavenly Demon, there is one readily available.
Wang Yu gestured for them to enter.
The Rakshasa Soul Sword, forged over six years, is now complete. The sword blank is entirely gray-black, covered with dazzling Rakshasa demonic patterns.
Just one glance was enough to cause a stinging sensation in one's soul.
Wang Yu has always prioritized the transformation of the innate demonic body, so the transformation of the Yellow Spring Dharma Intent can be postponed, as the advancement of the demonic body is more valuable to his growth.
now.
By activating the essence of the Path of Slaughter, the crimson blood vessels began to merge with the Rakshasa Soul Sword embryo, serving as the vessel itself and perfectly aligned with the Path of Slaughter.
The integration process can only be described as a natural progression.
Furthermore, it incorporates a portion of Wang Yu's primordial spirit essence, which greatly enhances its destructive power against primordial spirits, while also preserving a primordial spirit seed for Wang Yu.
If one day my physical body is destroyed and my primordial spirit is annihilated.
When there is an opportunity to be reborn in the Soul Sword, similar to the concept of the Soul Box, this is also a secret technique recorded in the Rakshasa Sutra. It has its value, and Wang Yu will learn it.
Furthermore, after merging with part of the primordial spirit essence, the growth rate of the Soul Sword can be positively enhanced by Wang Yu's primordial spirit. After each cultivation of the Heavenly Star Fate Nourishing Essence Mystic Method, both can grow in sync.
The fusion of the primordial spirit level can further enhance his control over the soul sword, deepen his understanding of killing, and form a cycle with each other, with endless wonderful uses.
Now, for the first time, it is showing its true colors.
I'd like to give it a try.
Within the Demon Skull Cage, the Six Desires Demon revealed its extremely ferocious nature, its various desires wielding their power like fingers, constantly impacting the inner walls of the skull.
A series of hoarse and unpleasant roars rang out.
Wang Yu flicked his fingers, and the Soul Sword shrank to the length of a finger, quickly disappearing into the Demon Skull Cage and fiercely stabbing at the Six Desires Demon, which immediately split into six wisps of black smoke.
While dodging the attack, he transformed into six kinds of desire demons.
This made it difficult for Wang Yu to distinguish the real body for a moment.
"Hehehehe!!!"
Six chains of desire shot out simultaneously, instantly binding and binding the Soul Sword. The Six Desires Demon's eyes revealed a human-like mockery.
The six demonic bodies actually entered the Soul Sword by following the chains.
This move was likely intended to seize control of the Soul Sword, thereby breaking free from the shackles of the Demon Skull Cage. Little did they know that Wang Yu also harbored a smile of triumphant ambition in his eyes.
He had kept this Six Desires Demon in captivity since its infancy.
His growth was under his close supervision.
Naturally aware of the opponent's strength, the Heavenly Demon's instinct would allow it to seize everything. Since the Soul Sword possesses a primordial spirit, it can naturally be possessed by the Heavenly Demon.
Traps are born from this.
"The Path of Slaughter—Refine!"
Crimson light filled Wang Yu's eyes, his pupils turned into black dots, his humanity vanished completely, leaving only endless, chilling killing intent.
Inside the Soul Sword.
The newly arrived demon had not yet found the source of the primordial spirit's reaction when it discovered itself trapped in a bizarre sea of blood. Looking up, it realized that...
Dark clouds rolled across the sky, and Wang Yu's face emerged from them like the very essence of heaven, his gaze sweeping over the demon and causing it to freeze completely.
