Chapter 191: The Battle for the Dao Embryo
Chapter 191: The Battle for the Dao Embryo
【Remaining Demon Lifespan: 8,164 years】
The moment the panel displayed this prompt, Shen Yi was about to open his eyes and exit his inner vision when he caught a glimpse of the Dao Embryo's smiling face.
He paused slightly, not feeling surprised, and immediately summoned the power of suppression, sending two slaps towards it, wondering what it was smiling about.
Ever since his preparation to leave Tingyang Prefecture, Shen Yi had understood the importance of talent in cultivation.
Whether it was Core Formation or Embryo Pill Realm, or even the Dao Infant or Shadow Soul, they were all doing the same thing.
That is, to nurture a vessel capable of accommodating one's divine consciousness with the essence of heaven and earth.
But the essence of heaven and earth is an extremely spiritual object.
The vessel it condenses is prone to developing self-awareness.
For Embryo Pill cultivators to break through the Primordial Chaos Realm, they must fight for control of this vessel with the consciousness within.
This isn't something that can be compensated for by simply spending more time.
The longer the lifespan is consumed, the more mature the consciousness within the Dao Embryo becomes, even to the point where it can completely turn against its master.
If it were a Shadow Soul condensed from devotion essence, or a Dao Infant nurtured by ordinary essence, perhaps its temperament would be much gentler and easier to control.
But like Shen Yi, who used violent demonic power to nurture it, coupled with the insatiable nature of the Heaven Devouring Pill and its more robust cultivation compared to its peers, the Dao Embryo would be even more ferocious.
In other words, Shen Yi, who already had mediocre talent, now faced a hellish difficulty far beyond that of other Embryo Pill cultivators.
"..."
Shen Yi slowly chewed and swallowed the remaining Dragon Demon Core, which had little cultivation left.
【Year 1: You consume the Dragon Demon Core, digesting its impurities, and your Dragon Demon Power talent is enhanced.】
【Profound Core. Dragon Demon Power】
In total, he had devoured the demon pills of six dragons, and during this process, his bloodline seemed to have broken through some kind of barrier.
The sacrifices of the young Dragon Clan members finally bore fruit.
Shen Yi felt his blood boiling within him, and his heart was also a bit stifling, prompting him to want to punch something to vent his frustration.
Unconsciously, he clenched his fists to calm his emotions.
After completing the seventh transformation of the Immortal and Demon, his physical body had reached an extremely terrifying level.
And now, the bloodline power of the Dragon Clan made Shen Yi feel a significant improvement.
This was indeed a great harvest.
As expected, thrift is a virtue.
After adjusting his state, Shen Yi once again infused the demonic lifespan into the embryo.
With the absorption of the ancient dragon's cultivation, the Dao Embryo took shape, and now, he was just one step away from condensing a true Dao Infant. However, before taking this final step, he must make all the necessary preparations.
All his hard work over the years couldn't be for nothing, only to end up benefiting others.
The Sun Melt Furnace glowed with dark red veins, emitting a faint light, and the heavy suppression force quickly converged towards the Sky Devouring Inner Core.
【Year 1: You gaze at the seemingly slumbering Dao Embryo and attempt to merge your divine consciousness into it. However, as soon as you enter this body formed by demonic power, you sense something amiss. It has grown over thousands of years, far more mature than when it was first born, and unease begins to stir within you.】
Don't panic; it can't resist.
Shen Yi secretly cheered for the embryo in his heart.
Just keep fighting; the demonic lifespan is abundant.
As if hearing Shen Yi's inner thoughts, the words on the panel gradually became more intense.
The divine consciousness and the consciousness of the Dao Embryo began a life-and-death struggle.
Shen Yi had witnessed this situation numerous times before. With each breakthrough of the Immortal and Demon's nine transformations, a similar scenario would unfold between the demons. However, this time, the one engaging in the final battle was himself.
【Year 307, you lose again, the intense mental torment makes you yearn for a break. Even though your Dao Embryo consciousness has been firmly suppressed, it's still beyond your ability. Fortunately, your Divine Consciousness has grown.】
Shen Yi closed her eyes, suddenly feeling refreshed.
The entire world seemed to become more harmonious.
So that was the case.
The process of using Divine Consciousness to compete for the Dao Embryo is itself a cultivation, only it cultivates not the physical body but the advancement of the soul.
The stronger the opponent, the greater the gains.
Thinking of this, it doesn't seem like a bad deal.
【Year 732, you are like a weary lone wolf, quietly staring at the Dao Embryo's consciousness, which is just an immovable chunk of fat. You don't know how many times you've charged forward.】
Using the intent of death to erase the Emerald Lion's consciousness only took 800 years.
Now, after a similar amount of time, the battle has just begun.
Shen Yi's current feeling is incredibly bizarre.
It's as if an invisible giant hand had torn open her skull.
Throwing in exhaustion, pain, despair... and countless other emotions.
However, just as she's about to reach her limit, she immediately senses the growth of her Divine Consciousness, as if a weak person is slowly but resiliently growing stronger.
Until Shen Yi's entire body goes numb.
Finally, another prompt appears.
【Year 1790, you look at the shredded Dao Embryo consciousness, and the last remaining strand trembles, pleading for mercy. You don't feel particularly happy; you merely stand by its side, calmly gazing at its face. Under your gaze, it finally understands who the true master of this body is.】
【Heaven Devouring Pill Devouring Technique, Mastery】
【Remaining Demonic Lifespan: 6,373 years】
The prompt that should have appeared during the condensation of the Dao Embryo finally emerges now.
Shen Yi sits silently on the edge of the bed, not knowing how much time has passed, her eyes gradually becoming clear.
Within the Sea of Qi Inner Core.
The Dao Embryo is connected to crimson blood vessels, and this time, it truly falls into a deep slumber.
With the issue of consciousness resolved, as long as she feeds it some Demon Pills to give it the strength to break free from those blood vessels, it will officially break through to the Dao Infant stage.
This also means she will be on par with Jiang Qiulan in terms of cultivation.
With the Immortal Demon Nine Transformations and numerous martial arts.
Even if she loses once, it's because Shen Yi's punch wasn't heavy enough.
"..."
Shen Yi looks towards the wooden door, her eyes filled with anticipation.
She has been fighting demons for so long, yet she hasn't challenged any powerful martial artists.
After cultivating for so long, she finally feels that her strength is sufficient.
However, Shen Yi retracts her gaze.
Forget it, it's better to wait until after the breakthrough to try again.
After the excitement of the breakthrough fades, Shen Yi lies quietly on the bed, using her Crimson Glow to massage her body, easing the tension from earlier.
For now, the only ones who pose a threat and have a grudge against her are the Moonhowling Demon King and, it seems, a fox from Green Hill.
Although she was very discreet when taking action.
It's hard to guarantee they don't have some bloodline, artifact, or something else to pass on information.
It's better to quickly resolve them all at once.
Otherwise, being constantly on someone's mind makes her feel uneasy all over.
"Demon Pills..."
