Chapter 327 The Three Techniques of the Underworld, the Essence Blood of the Demon Saint
Heavenly Realm Great Perfection.
At this Realm, the Soul has long since materialized, no different from a person.
Shen Wen's Soul phantom glanced down at his Physical Body, then turned and stepped into that pitch-black stone tablet.
The scene before his eyes suddenly changed.
A greyish space, boundless and infinite.
A thick aura of deathly silence filled the surroundings, with eerie hissing sounds faintly coming from the depths.
Shen Wen stood in the Void Realm, his gaze falling ahead.
There, a figure stood beneath a throne, wearing a yellow fur robe.
The figure stood with hands behind his back, his aura as vast as the sea; even though it was just a remnant Soul, it still exuded a heart-palpitating pressure.
Yellow Spring Demon Saint.
He looked at Shen Wen, a strange look flashing in his cloudy old eyes.
"Heavenly Realm Great Perfection?"
His voice was old and hoarse, echoing in this greyish space. "Interesting. How many years has it been? Finally, a decent junior has entered."
Shen Wen didn't speak, just looked at him.
The remnant Soul of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint continued, "The Huangquan Heavenly Fury I left behind is deep within this stone tablet. If you can withstand it, it's yours."
Shen Wen didn't move.
"Noisy."
He simply raised his hand.
In his palm, a pitch-black vortex emerged.
Great Devouring Technique.
The next moment, a terrifying vortex suddenly appeared within this Demon Saint space, lunging violently toward the Demon Saint's remnant Soul.
"If it were a complete Demon Saint Soul, I might need to be wary, but you are merely a remnant Soul."
The remnant Soul of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint was stunned for a moment.
"Yellow Spring Finger!"
A layer of deep yellow clouds suddenly surged forth. Immediately after, an extremely powerful gale suddenly tore through the world, transforming into a giant finger that pressed down toward Shen Wen.
"Too weak."
Shen Wen shook his head. If it were a formal battle outside, he might need to exert some effort, but a Soul struggle?
Shen Wen didn't give him any more time to think.
The great dao treasure bottle condensed into form above his head, its mouth facing downward as a pitch-black vortex slowly rotated.
The power of the devouring ancestral talisman surged from his palm, merging with the treasure bottle.
The next moment, a terrifying suction force erupted from the bottle's mouth, directly enveloping the remnant Soul.
The expression of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint's remnant Soul finally changed.
He had lived for tens of thousands of years and seen countless brilliant individuals, but someone like this—
He had never seen before.
"This is—"
Before he could finish his sentence, his figure began to distort and disintegrate, turning into countless bursts of pure Soul energy that were sucked into the great dao treasure bottle.
The greyish space finally became completely silent.
An unknown amount of time passed.
Shen Wen opened his eyes.
His Physical Body was still sitting cross-legged before the yellow spring stone tablet, with Yao Ming guarding nearby, his expression respectful.
Seeing Shen Wen wake up, Yao Ming was slightly startled and hurriedly bowed, saying, "Venerable One."
Shen Wen nodded and stood up.
Within his mind, he already possessed the Yellow Spring Finger, the Yellow Spring Palm, and the Huangquan Heavenly Fury.
The three Heaven Rank Dou Skills created by the Yellow Spring Demon Saint during his lifetime.
And in Shen Wen's hand, several drops of blood floated.
About the size of a baby's fist, they were deep black throughout, yet faintly shimmered with a golden luster.
Even through Shen Wen's control, Yao Ming could feel the terrifying energy contained within.
The essence blood of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint.
Moreover, it was more than ten times stronger than the essence blood of the two Dou Saints he had absorbed in the Tianshan Blood Pool Small World.
After all, he was an existence with half a foot in the Dou Di Realm.
Just then, the yellow spring stone tablet suddenly trembled slightly.
On the surface of the tablet, those ancient runes that were originally static began to flow and slowly converge, aside from the one finger and one palm.
Finally, they condensed into a giant mouth shape in the center of the tablet.
The mouth shape opened slightly.
The next moment—
An invisible ripple erupted from the tablet with a bang!
The ripple was silent but carried a terrifying power that struck directly at the Soul. Wherever it passed, the surrounding space began to distort and tremble, as if unable to withstand the impact of this power.
Yao Ming's expression changed, and the Qi within his body circulated frantically as he desperately guarded his mind.
Even so, his Soul was trembling slightly.
A sonic Dou Technique.
Huangquan Heavenly Fury.
Shen Wen stood before the stone tablet, allowing the ripple to sweep over him.
With the bodhi heart plus the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart, combined with his Soul cultivation at the Heavenly Realm Great Perfection, this sonic wave—which was enough to make even an ordinary Dou Saint wary—was nothing more than a light breeze to him.
He raised his hand and lightly tapped the slowly dissipating mouth shape.
All ripples instantly returned to tranquility.
Shen Wen withdrew his hand and looked down at the mass of deep black essence blood in his palm, feeling the extremely surging power within it.
With his foundation, if he were to completely refine this drop of essence blood, a Breakthrough to Dou Zun would be a certainty.
He just didn't know how far he could push it.
He pondered for a moment, stored the essence blood into his storage ring, and turned to look at Yao Ming.
"I'm going back to the Pill Tower to Breakthrough."
Yao Ming hurriedly bowed. "Please rest assured, Venerable One. I will handle things on this side."
Shen Wen nodded and continued, "There are two things."
"First, keep a close eye on the movements of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and the Void Ancient Dragon. Especially regarding the Heavenly Demon Phoenix side, cause some trouble from time to time to tie up their energy, so they don't interfere too much with the Void Ancient Dragon."
Yao Ming listened intently and nodded. "I understand."
Shen Wen looked at him and added another sentence, "I'm not telling you to have a direct conflict with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix. Just create some friction so they focus their attention on you. Use your own discretion."
Yao Ming said, "Yes."
Shen Wen paused and continued, "Second, I'll leave Yao Xiaotian for you to use. But I won't bring him back to the Pill Tower."
"Understood."
Shen Wen did not intend to bring Yao Xiaotian back; after all, it would be considered normal for a Dou Zun to follow him.
But a Dou Saint?
And a Dou Saint of the Nine Serene Earth Nether Python at that; he was worried that Old Man Shennong would notice something was wrong.
He had means like the Great Universal Salvation Technique to control Dou Saints. But if Old Man Shennong were to find out—
Whether that person could accept it, no one knew.
Shen Wen glanced at him and didn't explain further.
He turned and walked out of the Yellow Springs.
After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped.
"Select some clansmen for Qing Lin to devour," Shen Wen said. Qing Lin's Realm could also be promoted rapidly, though unlike Xiao Yi Xian who needed to consume poisons...
She needed to consume the Souls of snake-type Demonic Beasts, and what the Nine Serene Earth Nether Python lacked the least right now was the Souls of snake-type Demonic Beasts.
As for how to Breakthrough to Dou Saint?
He remembered that the Soul of the Ancient Nine-Headed Sky Snake was still left in the ruins; even without that...
He could just let Qing Lin devour Yao Xiaotian; what was so hard about a Breakthrough to Dou Saint?
Now, for Cai Lin, Zi Yan, and Xiao Yi Xian—even Dan Chen, because of her Supreme Pill Body—breaking through to Dou Saint was a breeze.
On the contrary, the one to worry about was Cao Ying; her cultivation talent was considered that of a Prodigy even in the entire Fighting Qi Continent.
But wanting to become a Dou Saint was not that simple; hadn't even the Dan Ta Three Giants gotten stuck?
You should know that they were also Prodigies once.
