Chapter 26 - Demonic Spirit Art
Within the cave, Lei Yang sat cross-legged. Inside the cave, he could not see his own fingers even if he wanted to, and everything outside the cave was completely silent. Only the occasional low growl of a beast could be heard in the dark of the night, giving people gooseb.u.mps.
After a moment, Lei Yang"s tightly shut eyes suddenly opened, revealing a look of determination, he immediately took out the "Spirit Demon Technique" cultivation technique jade slip given to him by his father. With a clench of his right hand, he injected his Spirit Qi into the jade slip, and after the jade slip entered the Spirit Qi, it suddenly released a gentle white light.The white light instantly enveloped Lei Yang"s body, causing his entire body to become transparent, and from the outside, his entire being seemed to flicker in and out, appearing and disappearing, as though he was a being that did not exist in this world.
Just as the white light enveloped Lei Yang"s entire body, his mind suddenly felt an intense dizziness. Immediately after, his vision blurred, and his consciousness blurred. When he regained consciousness, he was stunned by the scenery in front of him.
What he saw was a completely unfamiliar world. The sky was black, the earth was black, and even the vegetation was black.
In the world, the world was chaotic. There was not even a trace of spiritual qi. There was only endless dense black qi.The black aura was full of violence and carried a shocking killing intent. It was the legendary primordial demonic energy that could extinguish a person"s nature. Shocking amounts of demonic qi filled the entire world, causing the entire area to turn dark.
"How did this happen? Wasn"t I clearly in the cave abode in the valley just now? Why did I suddenly come here?" Lei Yang was overwhelmed with shock and fear. After looking around for a while, he carefully walked forward.
However, just as he took a step forward, he suddenly let out a shriek. He discovered that he did not have any feet. He hurriedly looked at his own body and discovered that he had actually turned into a lump of black gas."This, how did this happen?" Just as Lei Yang was in a state of shock, in the dark world, a Spirit Dao cultivator suddenly appeared in the black sky.
The Daoist Priest was currently engaged in an intense battle with a gigantic demonic beast. That demonic beast had a single horn on its head, which looked like a dragon but not a dragon, a tiger but not a tiger, and even had an enormous crocodile tail.
Its body was simply too large, so large that it seemed as if the entire world wouldn"t be able to contain it. However, it was obvious that it was no longer a demonic beast, but rather a beast Ancestor.
The Daoist Priest looked to be in his forties and held a golden horsetail whisk in his hand. He had the demeanor of a transcendent being and his entire body circulated with an immortal aura of immortality. Although its body wasn"t even one ten thousandth of that beast ancestor"s, and it was as small as a speck of dust in front of it, its technique was as powerful as the heavens.His eyes were filled with drowsiness, as if it contained the sun, moon, and stars. With a raise of his hand, he casted a shocking magical technique, the Heavenly Pa.s.sage of the Stars and the Moon.
He did not have any fixed moves, but he would often form hand seals and point his finger, causing the entire world to tremble. It was as if he was the center of the world, and his every move contained the power of countless laws.
As the man and the beast fought, they used all sorts of methods that could destroy the heaven and earth. Powerful waves caused the void to collapse, the earth to shatter, and magic waves surged everywhere.
In the end, the spirit cultivator chopped off the beast"s head with one palm and took out a gigantic beast core. After swallowing it, his body turned into an ancient book made of light and shadow, slowly floating down from the sky and landing in Lei Yang"s hands.Lei Yang looked at it and saw that it was an extremely ancient book. It was as if it had existed for countless years and gave off an ancient feeling.
Lei Yang gently opened the first page, and several lines of small words were written on it: "When the heaven and earth first opened, the world"s foul energy raged, a greater demon was born from the foul energy, and a scourge was born …"
When Lei Yang quickly finished reading these few lines of small characters, his heart was extremely excited and he was unable to calm down for a long time.It turned out that after reading this paragraph of records, this was a cultivation technique from the ancient era. It was created by a Daoist priest named Daoyi.
This pa.s.sage also explained that the world he currently resided in was called "Inverse s.p.a.ce".This was a fragment of the ancient world that had been here for a period of time. Dao One had forcefully intercepted it with heavenly mana and sealed it within this jade slip. The purpose of this was to let future generations of cultivators witness the cruel times and thus grasp the technique better.
However, this "reverse s.p.a.ce" was not something that everyone could enter, but was something only a fated person could enter. Furthermore, only their consciousness could enter, not their physical body."So that"s how it is!" Seeing that, Lei Yang finally understood everything. Although it was just a few words, it explained everything clearly.
"In other words, I"m a fated person. Since that"s the case, what are we waiting for!" Lei laughed loudly. It was obvious that his father was not the fated one. Thus, he felt that this could not be considered as a high grade Qi Method.
Lei Yang did not hesitate, as he was worried that this state would not last long.This ancient book of light and shadow was actually only a few short pages. Even the records of cultivation techniques were as precious as gold, with only a few numbers. Although it was difficult to understand, the more Lei Yang read, the more profound he found it to be.
Extremely shocked.
Unfortunately, the jade slip only recorded the first part, but did not have any attack methods. It only had the methods to refine the Spirit Demon Core and open the meridians, but even so, Lei Yang was satisfied.After flipping to the last page, the old book of light and shadow turned into motes of light that filled the sky before finally disappearing. At this time, Lei Yang"s consciousness was also forcefully thrown out of this s.p.a.ce by a strong repulsive force, returning to reality.
In the valley, inside the cave, the white light enveloping Lei Yang was absorbed into the ancient jade scroll on his right hand, at the same time, Lei Yang opened his eyes.Without any hesitation, Lei Yang took out the Spirit Demon Core from his chest and swallowed it in one gulp. The Spirit Demon Core melted in his mouth and turned into a violent flow of air.
Although the spiritual energy in the gas was shockingly dense, it was very difficult to separate the black demonic energy. After entering the gas, it charged left and right, wreaking havoc as it charged toward the Qi Sea.
According to the "Demonic Spirit Method", one must not let the combination of demonic energy and spiritual energy enter the Qi Sea. Otherwise, the Qi Sea will be penetrated by the demonic energy and become a waste. Therefore, he had to seal the bridge of heaven and earth before the gas entered the aura sea. He had to leave the mixed gas inside the bridge to separate it.
Seeing that the demonic core that was turning into a ruthless aura was about to rush into the Qi Sea, Lei Yang shouted loudly, "Demon Spirit Seal Blood, seal!" At the same time, he counted the air above his body, causing the violent gas to stop instantly. It was forcefully sealed within several bridges of Heaven and Earth.
Seeing that everything was going well, Lei Yang laughed, but just as he was about to take his next step, the golden Qi in his Qi Sea suddenly started revolving violently, and as it rotated, a powerful suction force suddenly came out, causing a change to occur.
The sealed meridians were all opened by the powerful suction in an instant, and the violent gas rushed into his aura sea, causing his aura sea to expand.
"It"s over!" This was Lei Yang"s first reaction.
However, as the ruthless aura surged into the Aura Sea, the golden mist in the center of the Aura Sea began to swirl even faster than before, emitting a sound that could be heard from outside.This rotation carried a huge suction force, causing the gas that had rushed into the Aura Sea to start spinning with a loud rumble. As it rotated, the rich Spiritual Aura within the gas was separated out immediately.
The spirit energy was constantly gathering towards the golden gas, and the black demonic gas seemed to be afraid of the golden gas and did not dare to approach. It was gradually being pushed out and formed a black circle around it.
After a few dozen breaths of time, when the last trace of violent demonic energy in the aura sea completely separated, the golden gas in the center of the aura sea suddenly forced a reversal and a powerful repulsive force appeared.
The repulsive force cut the black circle of demonic spiritual energy into countless pieces and pushed them out of the bridge of heaven and earth that was opened with a bang.As the demonic energy within the bridge of heaven and earth instantly flew out of Lei Yang"s body, an enormous storm was instantly set off in the mountain valley, with Lei Yang"s body as the center.
The pure demonic energy that rushed out of his body was like a sharp blade, directly slicing several deep cracks into the surrounding rocks of the cave. Even Lei Yang"s clothes had instantly been disintegrated into countless pieces.
All of these things happened too quickly for Lei Yang to keep up with the changes in his heart, and it was only when he saw the clothes on his body being torn apart, the countless deep cracks appearing on the surrounding rocks due to the burst of demonic energy and the raging storm sweeping up from the cave that he reacted, and looked at the person in front of him with his mouth wide open in shock.
Looking at everything in front of him, and seeing how powerful the demonic energy was, Lei Yang immediately understood that the refining of the spirit pellet was indeed very risky, and he had no choice but to mutter in his heart: "Looks like the spirit pellet is dangerous, I must be careful in refining it."
However, everything wasn"t over yet. As the demonic qi was being expelled from his body …
The golden aura in his aurasea gradually stopped spinning, and the large amount of spirit energy in his aurasea also caused Lei Yang"s cultivation to rise rapidly.In the blink of an eye, his cultivation increased greatly, directly breaking through to the sixth layer. Cracking sounds could be heard from within his body, and his physical strength increased once more, only stopping when his cultivation reached the late stage of the sixth layer.
Lei Yang clenched his fists, he felt that he was powerful, unprecedented in the world, but he did not dare be careless, because he had just achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation.
The night pa.s.sed quickly, and only after the sky outside of the cave was bright did Lei Yang"s cultivation stabilize, his physical body becoming strong once again, and because of the Demonic Qi"s attack, the number of bridges of heaven and earth increased by ten. Right now his body had reached an astonishing seventy-eight points, and his Spiritual Sense had directly increased to a hundred meters.
Lei Yang suddenly opened his eyes, a wave of excitement that he had never felt before surged to his heart, he stepped out of the cave, his speed immediately increasing, with a few steps, he arrived at the stream and washed off the stains on his body and changed into clean clothes.
