Chapter 116: The True Elixir Condensation Body Technique
Chapter 116: The True Elixir Condensation Body Technique
The gale howls and the cold bites.
A three-zhuang long, variegated tiger body leaps high, darting crazily through the hills, knocking down countless giant trees, shaking the mountains and the earth.
As soon as the tiger boss was eviscerated by that palm, the young tiger demon fled in the opposite direction without hesitation.
It never occurred to him that he would become the "Spotted King" and his father's only choice in such a manner.
However, there was not a shred of joy in his heart; instead, he felt a chill that shook his entire body.
Because behind him lurked a formidable demon, whose towering demon aura indicated that it had at least a thousand more years of cultivation than him.
"Senior!"
As the young tiger demon fled, he let out a long howl, "My father is the mountain lord of Xitai Mountain, and my adoptive father is the White Deer Demon Lord. For their sakes, spare my life, junior!"
Amid the frenzied shouts, a pitch-black ceremonial dagger flew at an incredible speed and pierced through its hind leg, pinning it to the steep cliff.
"Roar!"
A sharp cry of pain escaped its lips, and the young tiger demon's eyes turned red as it roared, "My father is in Yong'an City!!"
A slender figure stepped out from the curtain of rain, approaching the tiger demon calmly.
Shen Yi grabbed its massive head and rained punches down, his demonic power seemingly limitless as he pummeled the tiger demon's skull to pieces, leaving it dazed and unable to fight back.
Bang—Bang—
Soon, the entire tiger face was drenched in blood.
It didn't even realize that the youth's aura was rapidly diminishing.
Shen Yi couldn't remember how many punches he had thrown, but when the tiger demon's head was completely unrecognizable, the mist of dark red that had clouded his eyes finally began to dissipate.
[Killing a Dan Condensation Realm tiger demon, total lifespan of 3,820 years, remaining lifespan of 1,912 years, absorption complete.]
[Remaining lifespan of demon: 4,378 years]
Another strand of a Dan Condensation Realm demon's essence blood seeped into the bell.
He walked over, pulled out the ceremonial dagger, skillfully sliced open the abdomen to retrieve the Elixir Pearl, and took a few valuable demon items, placing them all into the bell as well.
Then, he lay down on the tiger demon's corpse, feeling slightly drained.
Shen Yi panted heavily, slowly extending his right hand, his sleeve sliding down to reveal a wrist marked with fresh red lines.
This was the first time he had utilized the full power of the Heavenly Demon External Dan.
A trace of wariness flashed in his now clear, dark eyes.
Although he didn't know what a typical Core Formation Realm was like, this thing, aside from its appearance, had absolutely nothing to do with an internal elixir.
Previously, Shen Yi had only slightly opened a path for the Heavenly Demon External Elixir, allowing him to guide a minuscule amount of demonic power into the dagger and kill the abbot of the Vajra Sect with a single strike.
But if he were to completely remove the suppression of the Melting Sun Treasure Furnace, as he had just done, the surging power of a demon lord within would be far beyond his control. For instance, the seemingly ordinary palm strike he had landed on the tiger boss earlier had actually consumed about one-fifth of his accumulated power, instantly destroying all the meridians in the tiger's body.
However, the toll it took on his body was also significant.
If it had been a proper internal elixir connected to his meridians and acupoints, how could it be possible to mobilize such a vast amount of power all at once?
"Without some body-tempering skills, this thing is really unusable."
Shen Yi's eyes twitched, and he sank into introspection.
The Melting Sun Treasure Furnace effortlessly suppressed the external Elixir once again.
Originally, it had contained about half of his demonic power, but now only about three-tenths remained.
"..."
Shen Yi sighed and took out the external Elixir, along with the Dragon Embryo Elixir that A Qian had given him. This time, instead of swallowing it, he brought the two elixirs together.
Shen Yi's eyes and hands moved swiftly as he withdrew the elixir and returned it to his qi sea.
He then turned his attention back to the Juvenile Dragon Elixir in his hand.
Just as he had guessed, each fledgling dan could replenish about twenty-five percent of his power. The elixir's essence was almost depleted, and he would have to find an opportunity to consume it soon, or it would become useless once the essence completely dissipated.
After resting for a while longer, Shen Yi gradually calmed the abrupt surge of violent emotions and sat up straight again.
Regardless, this was his biggest gain since crossing over.
He summoned the panel and willed it with his divine sense.
The millennium demon's lifespan essence transformed into a Demon Treasure Crystal.
[Remaining Demon Lifespan: 3,378 years]
[Condensing Dan: Life and Death Zen Body (Volume 1): Perfection]
Without the tension of his previous attempt, Shen Yi's confidence came from the thousands of years of demon lifespan essence.
He didn't aspire for perfection; he only hoped for a complete Condensing Dan body refinement technique. He just prayed that it wouldn't be another oddity like the Heavenly Demon Yanluo Outer Elixir.
With this in mind, he slowly poured the Demon Treasure Crystal into his body.
...
Year 1: You swallowed the Demon Treasure Crystal and attempted to deduce the lower volume of the Life and Death Zen Body. Numerous demon resentments gradually awakened.
Lifespan extended by 20 years.
Year 3: A young fox demon, not adept at body refinement techniques, critiqued this method as a waste of time and the work of a brute with no brain.
Year 5: A monkey demon awakened and suggested that you should just die once and see if the vitality within you could bring you back to life. If successful, your understanding of martial arts would undoubtedly improve.
"..."
Shen Yi hadn't held high expectations for these minor demons.
While the Demon Treasure Crystal could awaken the resentments of deceased demons, it required time. If he remembered correctly, the Juvenile Flood Dragon Demon from last time had awakened after about thirty years.
Year 28: Both the Juvenile Flood Dragon Demon and the Tiger Demon regained some consciousness. They are beings blessed by heaven and earth, inherently possessing formidable bodies. The Juvenile Flood Dragon Demon attempts to study the mysterious white light on your body.
Year 46: The Juvenile Flood Dragon Demon is troubled by the intentions of life and death. The white light seems to bind it with chains. You observe this and gain a slight understanding.
Year 127: You attempt to subdue demonic power with the intention of death and utilize vitality for your own benefit... The Juvenile Flood Dragon Demon describes its feelings in detail, helping you perfect your conjecture.
Year 193: With the help of the Juvenile Flood Dragon Demon, you finally deduce the general path. Out of gratitude, you want to name this technique the 'Subduing Flood Dragon Arhat Golden Body.' Just then, the Alligator Dragon reminds you that you also possess the same transformation talent as it does, and you wonder if you can merge the two together.
Year 293: The Alligator Dragon imitates its appearance from when it was alive and demonstrates the entire process to you. You don't quite understand and suggest it try again.
"This is..."
Shen Yi, who had been quietly observing, could no longer contain his excitement.
Clearly, he was just a step away from a complete body refinement technique, but the panel's prompt made him clench his fists tightly.
Martial arts of the same realm could still vary in quality.
A Jade Liquid Realm Alligator Dragon was actually trying to help him push this body refinement technique to an even higher level?
