Chapter 128: Capturing the Demon Within
Chapter 128: Capturing the Demon Within
【In the 126th year, with a mournful tiger's roar, you quietly put aside your thoughts of death, feeling the power within you becoming more harmonious. You begin to attempt the third transformation.】
Due to the stronger demonic energy, erasing the Mountain Lord's consciousness took longer than the previous time.
Shen Yi didn't feel the slightest regret.
This encounter with the Toad Demon allowed him to truly experience the power of a demon's abilities, an innate talent no weaker than the formidable human martial arts.
Within that endless abyss, he could stroll leisurely, and it felt even more reassuring than standing outside.
This was something ordinary warriors couldn't even imagine.
With these abilities, he could dive into the sea to capture dragons, soar into the sky to catch eagles, and obtain more demonic lifespans. No matter the cost, it was worth it.
【In the 127th year, you swallowed the Toad Pill, and with the experience from the previous two times, your method became increasingly rough. The Toad Lord's demonic energy, guided by your life force, was filled with both fear and a hint of pleasure, improving the efficiency of the transformation.】
As the Toad Pill was digested, the remaining demonic lifespan began to diminish at a terrifying speed.
A near-perfect inner core quickly merged into Shen Yi's limbs and bones.
【720th year...】
【1300th year...】
【In the 1972nd year, an unparalleled ferocious demon awakened within you, and you ruthlessly suppressed it within your body.】
【You are the Toad Immortal, born of heaven and earth, content in extreme cold, accumulating centuries of poison within your body. You travel the world, and there is nothing you cannot swallow. All living beings fear your strange poison and dare not approach.】
【Immortal-Demon Nine Transformations: Minor Success】
A deep and prolonged toad croak echoed in Shen Yi's mind.
Shen Yi slowly raised his palm, his slender fingers twitching slightly. He clenched his lips, his expression grave, until he fully curled his fingers into a fist.
He heaved a sigh of relief, and a hint of joy finally appeared on his handsome face.
Initially, he thought that the Immortal-Demon Nine Transformations at Minor Success would allow him to reach a level comparable to the Core Formation Realm, but the result was beyond his expectations. Perhaps the Toad Demon's inner core was too strong, or the Immortal-Demon Nine Transformations were too profound.
The power surging in his palm at this moment was enough to overwhelm a Core Formation Realm demon.
"At this rate, by the time it's fully mastered, wouldn't it crush even a Perfection Realm demon? And when all nine transformations are gathered, a single palm strike could immobilize an Essence Condensation Realm demon?"
If a single technique from the Essence Condensation Body Tempering Technique could achieve such cross-realm suppression...
W
Chen Qiankun's figure appeared in Shen Yi's mind. That unstoppable strike from before now seemed less terrifying.
Nearly a month and a half had passed, and he finally had the confidence to survive under that strike.
This was merely the power of his physical body, and if he added the Celestial Demon Outer Pill, even a Perfection Realm Mountain Lord would have to experience the might of a Body Tempering Warrior.
Thinking of the Celestial Demon Outer Pill, Shen Yi reached out and took it out. The battle with the Toad Lord had consumed about one and a half of the remaining Tiger Pills.
He used the remaining Tiger Pills to replenish it to fifty percent and then put them all away.
He looked at the panel.
【Remaining Demonic Lifespan: 484 years】
If there were new demons to capture, he would focus on advancing the Immortal-Demon Nine Transformations. If not, he could consider using the extra lifespan to study the Wind and Thunder Sun Melting Cauldron, connecting more meridians to the cauldron.
After filling up with the Celestial Demon Outer Pill, he would gain the cultivation of a Perfection Realm inner pill for free.
By taking down that Mountain Lord, he would have a better grasp of the situation.
It had only been a few days since he left Yong'an City, and Shen Yi had already put this demon on his agenda, but he wasn't clear about the demonic territory, such as whether it had any helpers or if there were any precautions needed for its lair.
Escorting the Demon Suppressing Bureau members back to Tingyang Prefecture with Xiao Qiangwei was also an opportunity to ask them about related information.
As for requesting the Demon Suppression General to set up an array for him, it would be better if she was willing, but if she was just joking, Shen Yi wouldn't mind. He was used to acting alone.
"If I had one or two more methods with greater killing power, that would be great."
Shen Yi noticed that the demons he had encountered lately were all fatter and stronger than the previous ones. From the Tiger Demon's three zhang length to the Toad Demon's height of about twenty zhang, they were even taller than many buildings from his past life.
Killing them with just a ceremonial saber and two palms was becoming more and more exhausting.
The Heavenly Vortex Blood's application of breath energy, which involved the Condensation Core Realm, was already somewhat rudimentary, and he urgently needed a new martial art to make up for it.
He shook his head and closed the panel.
Spreading his palms, he activated the Toad Demon's divine ability, and a layer of sinister emerald green appeared between his palms. He then drew out his ceremonial saber and tested it, discovering that this poison could be applied to the blade just like breath energy.
After thoroughly familiarizing himself with the power within his body, he contemplated various ways to utilize this potent toxic divine ability.
The sky gradually brightened.
Xiao Qiangwei knocked gently on the door, "Shen sir, are we departing now?"
Shen Yi pushed open the door and stepped out. The Savage Wolf Cloak on his body was already put away, and he still wore a tight-fitting black robe.
Numerous captains and assistant generals guarded the disheveled Liu Bin. This old general seemed to lack even the strength to stand, and it was more like he was being supported by the two people beside him than being guarded.
No matter how much psychological preparation he had done, how great his ambitions were, or how much blood he had shed in the past.
Until this very moment when he set out on the journey, Liu Bin still couldn't maintain his composure, and his emotions seemed to be collapsing.
"..."
Xiao Qiangwei showed no signs of being moved.
Even when the two of them arrived at this place, if Liu Bin had been willing to truthfully explain the situation, there would still have been room for a turnaround.
But he chose to use the most violent method to drive them away.
Not only that, during Shen Yi's fierce battle with the demon, this old general even mocked his court colleague, wishing for his death at the hands of the Toad Demon.
Xiao Qiangwei would report all of this to General You.
Everyone knew that General You had no airs and was quite respectful to this group of aged generals under him, even treating them with the etiquette of elders.
But when it came to demons.
Anyone who had lived in the courtyard of the General's Mansion, from General You Longtao to Fang Heng, was ruthless without exception.
"Let's go."
Shen Yi brushed his sleeves and led everyone on the return journey.
Xiao Qiangwei pursed her lips, staring at his back. In addition to Liu Bin's matter, she would also inform General You of this young man's heroic figure as he slew the demon, leaving nothing out.
A rising young powerhouse was already showing signs of protecting Qingzhou.
As both a demon hunter and a personal escort commander.
Combining both roles, he had achieved such astonishing accomplishments.
If Qingzhou could overcome this crisis and remain stable for a few more centuries, perhaps the Martial Temple would... have another Three Zhang Golden Body to shine upon Da Qian!
