228: Cultivating the Eight Desolate Prison Suppressing Force

Yao Delong nodded and with a casual toss, ten Mid-Grade Spirit Stones radiating dense Spiritual Qi flew toward Li Ya.

"I'll have to trouble Junior Brother Li."

Li Ya was momentarily stunned, then overjoyed. He hurriedly caught the Spirit Stones and thanked him repeatedly.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Yao! Thank you, Senior Brother Yao!"

In his heart, he was even more grateful to Yao Delong. This champion Senior Brother...

Not only was his strength heaven-defying, but his character was also so generous!

Looking at the deep and violent cave entrance before him, Yao Delong was also filled with emotion.

The last time he came here, he was still a trembling little Qi Condensation Cultivator who needed the protection of Junior Sister Lin Qingxue...

Just to draw a trace of gentle Earth Vein Qi for Alchemy.

But now, he was a champion at Golden Core Perfection, coming here of his own accord...

To draw this violent Evil Qi that even Nascent Soul Cultivators feared to perform Body Tempering!

Stepping inside, the familiar viscous, heavy...

Mysterious Yellow Turbid Qi, carrying an endless will of decay and violence, surged forth again, instantly swallowing him.

The valley was a deathly silent grayish-black, with only a dull, heartbeat-like pulse coming from deep within the earth beneath his feet.

Yao Delong's powerful Divine Sense, like invisible tentacles...

Cautiously felt the way forward, avoiding several nests occupied by powerful earth-attribute Yao Beasts.

Soon, he found an area where the Earth Vein Malevolent Qi spewed relatively more concentratedly, yet was far from powerful Yao Beasts.

He quickly took out a set of pre-prepared Formation Plates from his storage ring.

With a wave of his hand, several Formation Flags were precisely inserted into the surrounding rock walls.

As he injected Origin power, a pale green light curtain rose quietly...

Enveloping a radius of ten zhang, isolating the internal and external aura and sound.

"This is the place." Yao Delong sat cross-legged, his mind sinking into his Sea of Consciousness.

"System, upgrade the Eight Desolations Prison Suppression Art to the Perfection Realm!"

[Ding! Consumed 70 yin-yang values! Eight Desolations Prison Suppression Art is upgrading... Current remaining yin-yang value: 60 points]

Boom—!

An unimaginably massive flood of information instantly poured into Yao Delong's Sea of Consciousness!

That was the supreme method of how to draw, harness, and refine Earth Vein Malevolent Qi!

It was the ultimate experience of tempering the Physical Body countless times, integrating every strand of Evil Qi into the muscles, bones, skin, and internal organs!

It was the most fundamental and core Profound Truth of this Cultivation Technique!

As if he had experienced hundreds of millions of sessions of bitter Cultivation...

All the obstacles and all the Bottlenecks were broken through at this moment!

His understanding of the Eight Desolations Prison Suppression Art instantly reached an unprecedented Realm of Perfection!

At the same time, his body also underwent a marvelous change.

Muscles, bones, and Meridians seemed to have been remodeled by an invisible force...

Developing an almost instinctive affinity and desire for that violent Earth Vein Malevolent Qi!

"It's done!" A sharp light burst from Yao Delong's eyes, and he no longer hesitated for a moment.

His hands formed profound seals as he shouted in a low voice:

"Eight Desolations Prison Suppression, Draw Evil into the Body! Open!"

Buzz—!

With him as the center, a powerful suction force suddenly erupted!

The surrounding Mysterious Yellow Turbid Qi, which had been flowing slowly, seemed to receive a king's summons...

Instantly becoming violent, transforming into visible...

Viscous, mud-like Mysterious Yellow air currents, madly converging toward him!

Chichi chichi!

The violent Evil Qi was like hundreds of millions of steel needles, ruthlessly piercing into Yao Delong's skin!

That terrifying corrosive power, enough to make an ordinary Golden Core Cultivator's skin tear and Meridians snap instantly, now seemed to have met its nemesis!

Yao Delong's body was like a bottomless black hole, yet also like a piece of divine iron tempered a thousand times!

The power of the Perfection Realm of the Eight Desolations Prison Suppression Art was fully displayed!

The violent Evil Qi invading his body was forcibly suppressed, torn, and refined by an even more domineering and overbearing force!

Under the washing of the Mysterious Yellow air currents, his skin took on a bronze metallic luster...

With fine, profound earthy-yellow patterns faintly emerging.

His muscles bulged and writhed like coiled dragons, each contraction exploding with a terrifying sense of power...

Crushing and absorbing the invading Evil Qi.

His bones emitted a low, metallic ringing sound...

Becoming even more dense and heavy, as if carrying the power of the earth!

Pain! A piercing pain that reached deep into his bones and tore at his Divine Soul!

But amidst this intense pain, Yao Delong felt an unprecedented power!

His Physical Body was undergoing a rebirth-like transformation under the tempering of this violent Evil Qi!

Power was growing madly, and defense was rapidly climbing...

A heavy, thick, terrifying aura that seemed capable of suppressing the eight desolations and six directions began to spread from him!

Deep within the Earth God Ravine, that dull earth pulsation also seemed to sense something...

Becoming more powerful and more violent!

Even more Mysterious Yellow Evil Qi, like a tide drawn by attraction...

Surged out from the deeper, darker caves, madly rushing toward that seated figure!

At the entrance of the Earth God Ravine, that earthy-yellow light curtain of the Restriction flickered violently...

Emitting an overburdened hum, as if it would be crushed at any moment by the violent surge of Evil Qi from within the cave.

The ground was trembling, the dull pulse coming from deep underground like the heartbeat of an ancient giant beast.

Waiting outside, Li Ya's face was pale, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

He had never seen the Restriction of the Earth God Ravine react so violently!

The fluctuations of that violent Evil Qi made his heart skip a beat even through the Restriction...

As if he were facing a prehistoric Vicious Beast about to break its seal!

"Senior Brother Yao... what exactly did he do inside?!"

Li Ya was horrified, nearly crushing the transmission jade talisman in his hand.

However, just as the light of the Restriction flickered to its limit and was about to collapse—

Buzz!

Those profound earthy-yellow runes on the Restriction suddenly lit up, erupting with an even more brilliant and heavy light!

A majestic power originating from the core of Tuyao Peak's earth vein was triggered...

Like an invisible giant hand, it forcibly suppressed and smoothed out those violent waves of Evil Qi!

The light curtain of the Restriction fluctuated violently a few times before finally stabilizing stubbornly...

Though its light was much dimmer than before, clearly having consumed a great deal of energy.

Deep within the valley.

Seated in the center of the Mysterious Yellow Evil Qi storm, Yao Delong was completely unaware of the alarm outside.

He was fully immersed in the operation of the Eight Desolations Prison Suppression Art.

Time seemed to lose its meaning under the washing of this violent Evil Qi.

One day, two days... ten days... half a month!

Yao Delong was like an eternal rock, letting that viscous, mountain-heavy...

Mysterious Yellow Evil Qi, carrying endless decay and violent will...

Wash, hammer, and penetrate every inch of his flesh, bones, and Meridians over and over again!

His skin, which had originally been tempered by the Great Sun Body Forging Art to be like glazed jade...

Had now completely transformed into a deep, heavy bronze color.

On this bronze base, streaks of profound and complex earthy-yellow patterns, as if naturally formed...

Faintly emerged like the veins of the earth, circulating an aura of condensation, solidity, and the capacity to carry all things.

His muscles were no longer just bulging, but were like divine iron tempered hundreds of millions of times...

With smooth and restrained lines, containing explosive power...

Each tiny movement seemed capable of drawing a resonance from the surrounding Evil Qi.

Deep within his bones, the sound of metallic ringing had long since gone silent...

Replaced by a texture as heavy and indestructible as the earth itself.
