Chapter 88: Celestial Demon Devouring the Flood Dragon
Chapter 88: Celestial Demon Devouring the Flood Dragon
A shortcut achieved through demonic means, evolving to be even more powerful and perfect than the true pill-condensing method, as if tailor-made for him.
In the dim tent, as Shen Yi's excitement gradually settled, his handsome face became calm once more.
Perhaps due to his past life experiences, he tended to be suspicious.
He found it hard to believe that good things would fall into his lap so easily.
It was precisely because this Celestial Demon Yanluo Swallowing Origin Elixir technique seemed too tempting that it made him uneasy.
Everything has a cost, and this principle should apply to most situations.
Even if there truly was something perfect... it shouldn't be something that a flood dragon demon and a fox demon could casually deduce within two hundred years.
If that were the case, the pill-condensing method would have been commonplace.
After a moment, a soft sigh echoed within the tent.
"Are you being picky now?"
Shen Yi's eyes flickered with a hint of self-mockery. From Boyun County onwards, the black-skinned old dog, the yellow-skinned creature, the ape demon from the east mountain, the fox from the north cliff... the young river demon, the flood dragon demon.
If he had played it safe and taken a gradual approach, he would have died eight hundred times over by now.
With his natural talent and understanding, he didn't have the luxury of playing it safe. He was destined to leave the safety of others and go out to plunder lifespan essence.
As soon as he stepped out of the city, unexpected dangers could arise at any moment.
Along the way, Shen Yi felt that he was always the one "taking the fall" for others. If it weren't for him barely managing to handle the situations, Li's siblings, Hong Lei, and Zhao Kanglin, who had misjudged the situation, would have lost their lives.
But who would "take the fall" for him?
The power of the Demon Suppression Division?
Lin Baiwei had one of the strongest backgrounds in Qingzhou, and her cultivation was also at the perfect Jade Liquid stage. In the end, she survived, relying on Old Liu's frantic blow.
Putting his life in the hands of such low-probability events was unsettling.
"However, it's always better to be cautious."
Shen Yi took a deep breath, not directly infusing the lifespan essence, but instead carefully examining the newly deduced cultivation technique in his mind for the first time.
After all, it involved the major matter of pill-condensing, and he needed to be extremely cautious.
If there truly was some hidden flaw that couldn't be resolved for the time being, then no matter how reluctant he was to waste the demon's lifespan essence, he could only set it aside for now.
Most of the Celestial Demon Yanluo Swallowing Origin Elixir technique came from the flood dragon demon and the fox demon, and even Shen Yi found it somewhat abstruse.
Line by line, the text emerged in his mind.
The candle gradually melted, and the flickering flame dwindled to the size of a soybean.
Shen Yi's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he used his meager knowledge from the panel to interpret the content of the external elixir technique with great difficulty.
Until finally...
"With this wondrous method, a vicious and origin-devouring treasure is forged."
"Forged? Treasure?"
Shen Yi opened his eyes, his expression strange.
For some reason, he thought of the crocodile dragon.
The scales on its body also seemed to be refined through some means, possessing both offensive and defensive capabilities. When the black knife scraped them off, the crocodile dragon showed no signs of pain.
So, this external elixir was actually not related to his cultivation realm... or even himself. Instead, it was similar to a treasure?
It touched upon another blind spot in his knowledge.
Shen Yi helplessly raised his eyebrows. His biggest problem now was that he had crossed over too recently and had too little experience in the cultivation world. Without a proper teacher, he lacked understanding in many areas.
However, if it was a treasure, it would be much safer to use.
Shen Yi's divine sense stirred, and the vast demon lifespan essence cautiously flowed towards the Celestial Demon Yanluo technique.
...
["In the first year, you gather your entire body's Jade Dew and begin to forge the mysterious treasure described in the external elixir technique within the Sun Melting Treasure Furnace."]
Seeing this prompt, Shen Yi breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He continued to focus on the changes on the panel, and a string of prompts scrolled past his eyes.
["In the thirty-second year, you accumulate Jade Dew..."]
["In the ninety-eighth year, you gather the essence that your body's orifices, meridians, and flesh cannot contain, and refine it in the Qi Sea with the Sun Melting Treasure Furnace, then forcefully condense it with a strange method."]
["In the one hundred and seventy-second year, you accumulate Jade Dew..."]
["In the three hundred and seventieth year, the external elixir takes shape and floats quietly in the Qi Sea."]
["In the six hundred and ninetieth year, your body's external elixir is wrapped in thick, golden Jade Dew, dazzlingly bright, and it begins to actively absorb essence."]
["In the nine hundred and thirty-first year, the golden light dissipates within the Sun Melting Treasure Furnace, revealing the round external elixir treasure within. It is empty, awaiting your nourishment."]
["Celestial Demon Yanluo Swallowing Origin Elixir Technique (Perfected)"]
["Remaining Demon Lifespan Essence: One thousand one hundred and twenty-five years"]
...
As the last prompt appeared, it confirmed Shen Yi's guess.
Shen Yi closed his eyes, his mind sinking into a state of inner observation.
His viscera glowed, golden blood pulsed, and countless dark red veins intertwined to form the Sun Melting Treasure Furnace, like a great prison emitting scorching heat.
Within this prison, a smooth pill, akin to one carved from white jade, floated silently.
If he didn't manipulate it actively, the jade dew within his body wouldn't pass by it. In this perfectly integrated inner body, it seemed out of place, completely isolated by the Sun Melting Treasure Furnace.
After pouring in over nine hundred years of demon lifespan essence, there was still no change in either his realm or strength.
"...”
Shen Yi didn't feel disappointed. Instead, he revealed a strange expression and opened his eyes, slowly extending his palm.
The next moment, the white jade pill floated into his palm out of thin air.
It could even be taken out of his body...
Demons were demons; even their cultivation relied on their long lifespans. They understood nothing about pill-condensing techniques.
Shen Yi remained silent, pursing his lips. He brought the alligator dragon beast essence in his other hand closer, and in an instant, a domineering sense of plunder erupted from the white jade pill!
"Wait."
As if suddenly remembering something, Shen Yi quickly moved it away and returned it to his Qi Sea.
He had almost forgotten about the opportunity to gain insight into innate abilities from the beast essence.
After all, this Heavenly Demon External Elixir only required the cultivation contained within.
Placing the alligator dragon beast essence in his mouth, Shen Yi felt the pungent sweetness on his tongue and once again opened the panel.
He channeled the demon lifespan essence into the Heavenly Demon Art.
["In the first year, you consume the perfect alligator dragon beast essence at the Jade Liquid realm, channeling the surging and vast demonic power into your body, allowing it to flow through your meridians and carefully digesting the impurities. Finally, direct it all toward the Heavenly Demon External Elixir."]
["Insight into Innate Ability: Jade Liquid . Hundred Refinements Alligator Dragon Body"]
["Hundred Refinements Alligator Dragon Body: A natural technique of the aquatic race to molt and transform their bodies. Your physical body is amplified, achieving significant breakthroughs every hundred years."]
Shen Yi clenched his fist, carefully sensing the change.
Compared to the boost from the Flood Dragon's power, this improvement wasn't as drastic. His strength had increased by about thirty percent, still manageable.
As for the improvement after a hundred years, there was no need to think about that for now.
After getting slightly accustomed to his new body, he once again sank into a state of inner observation, only to be taken aback.
The white jade external elixir remained unchanged, still perfectly round and translucent.
With great effort, Shen Yi finally noticed a thin layer of orangutan blood liquid within the pill, so minuscule it was almost non-existent.
"A thousand-year-old alligator dragon, a perfect cultivation at the Jade Liquid realm, and this is all I get?"
Shen Yi was speechless. He put the Flood Dragon Pill back into his mouth.
Spending another year of lifespan essence, he directed the demonic power within into the external elixir as usual.
["In the first year, you consume the Flood Dragon Pill..."]
Suddenly, a booming explosion rang in his ears! Shen Yi's expression changed drastically as he instantly located the source of the disturbance. The Sun Melting Treasure Furnace, woven from countless dark red veins, began to tremble slightly.
Within this prison, the external elixir remained quiet.
However, the demonic pill liquid within had suddenly filled up to half of the pill! Fortunately, although the Sun Melting Treasure Furnace was trembling, after a few breaths, it managed to forcibly suppress the external elixir once again.
"Is it going to exceed the limit?"
It was a relief that it had stabilized. Otherwise, if the external elixir couldn't be suppressed after absorbing so much lifespan essence from the Flood Dragon Pill, he would have to take it out and not use it, which would be truly heartbreaking.
Shen Yi focused his attention on the external elixir, using the communication technique from the External Elixir Art to reach out with his spiritual sense.
The next moment, the Sun Melting Treasure Furnace slowly opened.
Threads of scarlet demonic qi flowed out from the white jade-like external elixir, adding a dense layer of gloom to its pristine surface, red as blood. Then, along the path provided by the Sun Melting Treasure Furnace, the demonic qi rapidly spread throughout his body!
"...”
Shen Yi abruptly opened his eyes, his pitch-black pupils now flooded with crimson.
His handsome features remained calm, but his heart was stirred.
He didn't know how to express the shock he felt at this moment.
The power boiling within his body was something he had never experienced before, something he couldn't even comprehend. It exuded a terrifying aura as it stirred restlessly, like a colossal beast breaking free from the depths of an abyss, revealing its formidable form.
This was the cultivation of the Flood Dragon Lord, accumulated over three thousand years...
Shen Yi slowly extended his palm, his distinct knuckles seemingly capable of crushing everything in the world! At the same time...
On the peak of Green Peak Mountain, the dawn light was faint.
The two Pill-Condensing elders who had been silently standing behind Chen Qiankun suddenly looked up into the distance, their eyelids twitching uncontrollably.
