Chapter 601 Celestial Star Positioning, Collecting the Four Ancestral Decrees (Part 2)
The area, which had transformed into a pitch-black hell of flesh and blood, suddenly expanded.
It grew larger and larger like a balloon until it exploded with flesh and blood, from which a gigantic demonic head emerged, not in disguise as a human.
Rather, they are the true demonic forms of the ancient demons.
There are twelve pairs of demonic horns on its head, ranging from small to large. Half of them intertwine to form the shape of a crown, while the rest grow upwards like pipes before growing backwards along the curve of the skull and then soaring into the sky.
This makes it look like a slicked-back hairstyle.
Combined with its skin tone that was a mix of scarlet and jet black, it was so ugly that it was hard to look at by human standards. The huge head stared coldly at Ming Feng.
A mocking smile curled at the corners of his lips.
Obviously.
Even the Heavenly Treasure could not completely suppress it. This is not to say that the treasure was ineffective, but rather that Prince Ming was ineffective and could not unleash the true power of the Heavenly Treasure.
He himself should be aware of this gap.
But he still looked surprised and doubtful.
"How is that possible... Even if I can't fully unleash the power of the Nine Netherworld King's Crown, the Ancient Demon of Life isn't in its complete state either. Moreover, it has been suppressed by Kong Kongzi for so long, so theoretically its power has been significantly diminished."
The complex inner thoughts were only a moment in reality. The instant their eyes met, Kong Kongzi immediately understood the other's doubts.
But now is not the time for idle chatter.
The Ancient Demon of Life used the Golden Cicada Shedding its Shell technique, abandoning most of its power and escaping with only its head. Its immediate priority is to recapture its opponent.
“Young Master You Shi, the Life Demon has absorbed some of the Blood Demon’s power, making it different from the usual Ancient Demons that broke the seal. Let’s attack together.”
Having said that, his figure transformed into a streak of purple light.
Piercing through the void in pursuit.
Ming Feng: "...You!"
A torrent of foul language was stuck in his throat.
However, feeling frustrated because the person involved was not there, he decided that there was no point in cursing. After some thought, the young master of the underworld still followed along according to the agreement.

…………
The Ice Prison Realm, the edge of the Chaos Layer.
Wang Yu stood tall and straight on the edge of chaos. Even after decades, the residual aura here was still strong, especially the part related to refining the heavens.
He knows it very well.
"According to the memories of the Ice Phoenix bloodline, a world with the edge of chaos means that it is still expanding and its potential has not been fully realized, making it extremely rare."
Those endless streams of chaotic energy are a kind of energy comparable to the power of the world, and even slightly superior. Compared to the latter's creation of all things, one origin gives rise to all phenomena.
That chaos is a kind of creation power.
Some have suspected that spatial power, when developed to its extreme, could give rise to chaos, but it still lacks other lower-level energy. Wang Yu's gaze swept across the surrounding area.
Soon, the figure of the Wind Ancestor Token appeared in the shallow chaos. This thing was so tough that it could withstand the erosion of chaos. I wonder what material the Earth Ancestor used to make it.
With a feng shui incantation, an invisible force of attraction was released, causing the Ancestral Token of Wind to return and smoothly insert itself into a corner of Wang Yu's feng shui compass.
In this way, the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind are commanded.
Three have been obtained.
With his first objective achieved, Wang Yu lifted up a boat-shaped treasure enveloped in a spatial bubble with a flick of his wrist; it was none other than the teetering Boundary-Opening Divine Boat.
Before leaving the Void Dao Treasury, he took everything he could. He memorized all the ten thousand spatial secret techniques on the Void Heaven Stele with the help of the key's authority, including a secret technique that could stabilize the state of the Divine Ship.
Its name is "Amber Secret Technique," which can stabilize the state of objects and even living beings. When used in the field of medicine, it is considered a soul-searching technique. Unfortunately, the target must not offer any resistance for the technique to be successfully cast.
It cannot be used in combat for the time being, but the higher-level [Stabilizing Space Seal] can be used in combat. However, it requires a certain level of understanding of the laws of space, which he cannot reach at the moment.
As I just mentioned.
Worlds with the edge of chaos are extremely rare.
The Ice Prison Realm is quite special. Due to the rules of immortals, the world's energy level stagnated long ago and was even compressed.
This results in chaos being bound by rules, making it difficult to continue to open up more space and expand the world itself, and permanently freezing in the developmental stage.
This also turned these rare streams of chaotic energy into a valuable resource that could be utilized.
The repair methods were still learned from the Void Heaven Stele.
Named the [Chaos Mending Heaven Secret Technique], it has an excellent repairing effect on objects. When cultivated to perfection, it can even repair a broken world. Among the many inheritances recorded in the Void Heaven Stele, it is considered one of the best.
The only limitation is the requirement for Chaos Qi.
It must be said that the Void Heaven Stele greatly increased Wang Yu's foundation, causing his abilities to almost double and skyrocket, making him capable of dealing with any situation. It truly lives up to its reputation as the inheritance of the Nine Tribulations Hermit.
Wang Yu had only scratched the surface of this secret technique and had not chosen to delve deeper into its cultivation and comprehension. However, using it to repair the Boundary-Opening Divine Ship should not be a problem, since the biggest limitation of this technique is actually the material of Chaos Qi.
"Chaos Mending Technique...Activate!"
With a flick of his fingers, he saw a stream of Qi suddenly split off from the chaotic layer under the guidance of the secret technique, slowly flowing into the World-Opening Divine Ship.
The cracks that covered almost the entire body finally began to heal.
Looking at the progress, Wang Yu roughly estimated the time required.
"Initial repairs should be completed within ten days, but fully restoring the cracks in the dragon bone will likely take more than ten years. The efficiency of the introductory stage of the Chaos Mending Technique is too low."
Thoughts surged through my mind.
Although he was somewhat reluctant to leave the chaotic energy here, Wang Yu was pressed for time and could not possibly spend more than ten years to completely repair it. He also did not have the relevant means to store the chaotic energy, so he could not take it with him at all.
The pressure from the empty space is still very high.
Wang Yu made a decision very quickly.
"After the initial repairs are completed, I will leave. Then, I will obtain the last Fire Ancestor Token. Once I have it, I will ascend to the moon using the Returning Moon Pupil Technique and go into seclusion to cultivate the Taiyin Refining Body Treasure Talisman, so as to condense the first Taiyin Divine Rune as soon as possible."
The environment on the moon greatly aided his cultivation of the Star God's inheritance, making it the best place for seclusion. The next step was to find a way to lure out the hidden danger within him—the [Ancient Demon of Life]!
Ever since discovering that the demon was pinned down by Kong Kongzi.
The idea of a direct meeting naturally fell through.
Therefore, he had to find a way to lure out the "lurker" within him and take this guy across realms. He suspected that the immortal behind the Demon Prison would directly knock him down.
If he were the only ant crossing over into another realm.
The entrance to the Jade Void Glazed Wall might be able to deceive people, but with some ancient demons involved... the difficulty is no less than ascending to heaven!
The end result must be clean enough.
Otherwise, the consequences would be far beyond what he could bear. The main function of the Boundary-Opening Divine Ship is to travel through the cosmic sea and break through the barriers of each world.
The functionality of the device overlaps slightly with that of the Taiyin You Tong device.
For him now, it is no longer a necessity. Perhaps it will be useful in the future, but for now... a preliminary repair as a backup plan is enough.
After reviewing the plans for the coming period.
Wang Yu concentrated intently, continuously consuming demonic energy to accelerate the operation of the Chaos Mending Technique.
in this way.
Ten days later, all the cracks on the surface of the Shenzhou had healed, except for the internal keel which still had many cracks, but the precious light had been restored to its original state.
Wang Yu stayed for three more days, filling his energy with chaotic qi, before tearing through space to return to reality and continuing to use the celestial positioning method to lock onto the final ancestral decree.
"This direction leads to... Mount Suzaku!"
As a renowned resource-producing area in the Crimson Phoenix Demon Realm, Wang Yu had passed by it many times, but had never gone inside.
While pondering, it had already transformed into the form of an ice phoenix.
Like an arrow shot from a bow, they streak across the sky, disappearing abruptly after flying a certain distance, escaping from a space a hundred miles away. The Phoenix Clan is proficient in the ways of space.
The phoenix pattern also contains the secrets of the Great Dao of Space.
This ability to travel through space is innate to his bloodline. He can also learn some secret techniques for escaping through space, but without modification, he can only use it in his Ice Phoenix form, which is quite limiting.
Therefore, it is placed at the end of the cultivation plan.
It's probably going to be hard to get a spot.
Just as Wang Yu was pushing forward with the final stages of the project, heading towards Mount Sumeru.
An endless ice field.
Three figures, two chasing and one fleeing, rushed into this eternal frozen land. The demon transformed back into the image of the young man in hemp clothing, constantly burning his life force and leaving long, bloody shadows.
Even the two Dao Integration experts behind them couldn't catch up.
He had devoured the Blood Demon's body, though he failed to fully integrate with it and was later stripped and sealed again by Kong Kongzi. However, as a new consciousness, he lacked the original body's pride and self-esteem.
In addition, due to his fragmented memory and loss of many means of utilizing his power, he stole a number of blood-path secret techniques from the Blood Demon's body.
He found that the two dishes together were incredibly practical.
He could use all sorts of secret techniques in the Blood Path that had extremely severe side effects, such as burning essence and blood and overdrawing life force, without any restraint. There was no other way... he had endless life force.
Even if it burns from beginning to end for hundreds or thousands of years, it would still not amount to one ten-millionth of the body's essence. Replenishing it is even simpler; it will naturally recover in just a few breaths.
However, the power of the Blood Path Secret Technique also has an upper limit.
At most, it would give him combat power comparable to the late stage of the Void Refinement realm, but he would still be no match for two Dao Integration cultivators, unless he could corrupt them with the rules of the Ancient Demon.
This was the plan in almost every previous Demon Sealing War.
Consuming their own essence, the human race is forced to refine the power of the spirits of heaven and earth to barely seal the ancient demon, only to be devoured by the backlash of the heavenly Dao and die without a burial place.
But this time, he chose to seek help.
"Frozen Demon, here I come!"
…………
…………
Zhuque Mountain, the nest of ten thousand birds.
The monsters here were once ruled by the True Spirit Vermilion Bird. Before the establishment of the ancient immortal dynasty, the Vermilion Bird left because the Ice Prison Realm was not suitable for cultivating the Great Dao of Flames.
Over the next tens of thousands of years, hundreds of bird-like demon races conquered this sacred mountain, but unfortunately, they all eventually declined.
Until ancient times, the earth's core erupted with molten lava that destroyed everything, completely incinerating this area and turning it into a high-temperature hell.
Only a few demons who cultivate the way of ancient beasts survive.
Countless rare and precious materials were also born from the destruction, making it a popular treasure hunting ground for Chi Yuan.
The Path of Ancient Beasts is the ancestral path through which the demon race constantly tempers their bodies and purifies their bloodlines. It is difficult for them to develop intelligence, and their consciousness is extremely primitive and bloody, acting solely on instinct.
Their physique will also increase dramatically, and their physical strength will surpass that of other body cultivators of the same level, hence the nickname "savage beast".
Once this thing develops intelligence, its power will be terrifying.
Only a few ancient beasts capable of chewing iron and eating nectar survive on Vermilion Bird Mountain, and their numbers are extremely small. In addition to the Fire Ancestor's Token, Wang Yu's trip could also capture some ancient beasts to sacrifice for his natal spirit treasure.
Half a month.
Wang Yu successfully arrived at Vermilion Bird Mountain. Compared to the scene of light filling the sky in the past, there was now only a desolate place. Most of the cultivators in the Ice Prison Realm had returned to the world.
Apart from the infighting that occurred during the chaotic era, the rest perished at the hands of Kong Kongzi. It can be said that, apart from a few mortals, the Ice Prison Realm has completely entered the era of annihilation.
The number of practitioners has plummeted, and the inheritance of skills has become a problem. It is unknown how many years it will take to recover.
They were truly like ants, wantonly slaughtered by the powerful.
For the sake of the future of the Void Lineage, he had no choice but to die. Kongkongzi's actions were actually a common practice among successive Prison Kings and Spirit Officials after native cultivators had reached a certain level of development.
This was all for the sake of the stability of the Demon Prison. It wasn't just Wang Yu's generation who wanted to break free from the cage. Also, because the cultivation techniques were recorded on the Immortal Black Stele, they couldn't be completely severed. So, they could only harvest them once every now and then to maintain the stability of the Demon Prison.
Such an act of slaughtering living beings is something even a demonic cultivator like Wang Yu would find shameful, and he even has the audacity to stand on the moral high ground and condemn it, which shows how utterly depraved the other party is.
Let's get back to the main topic.
Upon arriving at the sacred mountain, Wang Yu's eyes shone with a three-foot-long golden light, a result of the Golden Eyes of Qi Observation technique. He sensed something was amiss as soon as he arrived at this scorched land.
Now that I see it, it's true!
"The work of the ancestor of geomancy."
Underground of Zhuque Mountain.
It is a sea of reddish-gold lava.
Furthermore, there are obvious traces of a feng shui formation, so the volcanic eruption in ancient times was likely the result of the collapse of that formation.
"No wonder the Fire Ancestor's Decree was left here. It seems that this ancestral decree is the core that maintains the normal operation of the strange situation. It is normal that it can unleash such power."
Many speculations crossed my mind.
Wang Yu descended directly from the top into the ground. This place had once been the nest of the Vermilion Bird, making it truly extraordinary.
In his divine sense, he sensed that there were many fourth-order ancient beasts living in the crimson-gold ocean. Their body shapes were somewhat like anglerfish, and one of them, with the strongest aura, had already reached the level of the early fifth order.
"It barely qualifies as a blood sacrifice material for a 36th-grade Blood Lotus Furnace."
This was just one of the unexpected gains.
besides……
"Lava core fire?"
Today, with his already powerful primordial spirit combined with his extremely refined divine sense, Wang Yu quickly discovered a large number of rare and precious materials, as well as the special spiritual flames of heaven and earth nurtured in this environment.
Although it's only at the third tier, the quantity is enough to fill at least half of the Blood Lotus Furnace's fire-gathering space. It's not needed right now; we'll have to wait until the Yin Fire within our natal spiritual treasure is fully digested.
It's a good opportunity to take some time to cultivate them.
As he took out a fire-collecting pot to contain the lava core fire, the Fire Ancestor's Decree was also drawn in by the feng shui compass. It was submerged in the depths of the crimson gold ocean, which explains why it had never appeared for so many years.
in this way.
Once the four ancestral decrees were gathered and combined with his feng shui compass, even more changes occurred. The special woven structure composed of the four spiritual energies caused this treasure to begin to transform.
Wang Yu observed it for a moment and then put it away.
He began to stretch his fists and feet, his eyes fixed on the ancient beasts of this place.
