352: Chapter 352 The Undying Heavenly Art, the Demonic Embryo Revives!

"This thing is too wicked. Every line is filled with a demonic power that bewitches the heart. If someone with a weak will tries to Cultivate it, they will likely suffer a backlash from the Cultivation Technique before long, reduced to a monster that knows only slaughter and blood-sucking."

Just as Lu Li felt a chill in his heart and hesitated over whether to use lightning-fast methods to completely destroy this dangerous bone fragment on the spot to prevent it from remaining in the world and continuing to harm people—

"Sshhh—"

The Void Realm ahead cracked open like ripples on water without any warning.

Lu Yuan, dressed in spotless white clothes with sleeves fluttering, stepped out of the spatial passage like a banished immortal.

His expression was calm, but deep within his eyes, an imperceptible glint was hidden.

"Father?! Why did you come in person?" Seeing the newcomer, Lu Li's eyes lit up. His previous vigilance and killing intent vanished instantly as he quickly moved to greet him.

Lu Yuan did not answer immediately. Instead, he locked his gaze onto the pitch-black bone fragment in his son's hand.

His brow furrowed sharply, and his face instantly took on the appearance of a distressed and worried strict father: "Lier, quick! Put that thing down!"

He strode forward, his voice stern yet laced with anxiety: "This is the 'Blood Scripture,' a most wicked Cultivation Technique passed down since ancient times in the Demonic Path! The demonic nature contained within is too heavy; it harms the harmony of heaven."

"This technique is most adept at bewitching the heart. Once you cannot resist the temptation and begin to Cultivate it, your mind will surely be eroded, and you will eventually become a Devil Head who recognizes no kin and knows only slaughter! You are inexperienced in the ways of the world; you must not be deceived by its superficial power!"

"Ah? It's actually that dangerous?"

Lu Li was startled by these words. He was already wary of the technique, and hearing his father say this made it feel like he was holding a hot potato. He hurriedly handed the bone fragment to Lu Yuan: "Father, then please destroy it quickly! Lest it harms anyone else in the future!"

"Don't be reckless."

Lu Yuan took the bone fragment as a matter of course, gripping it tightly in his hand.

He looked at Lu Li and let out a long, meaningful sigh, acting like a benevolent father who considered his son's interests in every way: "Although this object is incredibly evil, all things have two sides."

"If I can apply supreme Dharmic power to completely purify the demonic nature and evil resentment within, and extract only the Law of Blood's Origin essence, it would actually be a rare treasure for your Cultivation."

Lu Yuan patted Lu Li on the shoulder and said gently: "I will first Seal this away for you and purify it slowly."

"Once the hidden dangers are completely removed in the future and it is transformed into a pure Law Divine Ability, I will return it to you for comprehension."

"So that's how it is! Father is indeed thoughtful, thank you, Father!" Lu Li believed his father's words without a doubt and nodded obediently, a warm current rising in his heart.

Having a father who paved the way for his Cultivation at every turn and cared for his safety was truly the greatest luck of his life.

The very moment Lu Yuan flipped his hand and stored the 'Blood Scripture' bone fragment into the internal space of the Eternal Night Demon Palace—

A crisp electronic notification sound suddenly exploded in his mind:

[Ding! Detected that the Host has successfully intercepted the Son of Destiny Lu Li's Purple-grade Opportunity: 'Blood Scripture'!]

[Triggering System Thousand-fold Critical Hit Return mechanism...]

[Congratulations to the Host! Obtained Critical Hit Return reward — 'Undying Heavenly Art'!]

[Note: The 'Undying Heavenly Art' is the supreme Legacy of the Undying Heavenly Emperor, one of the ten great primordial evils who once suppressed an entire era.]

[This Cultivation Technique includes all-around enhancements such as Nirvana through fire, extreme offensive power, and ultimate speed.]

[Cultivating this art allows one to devour the Physique Origin of all things to supplement oneself. Furthermore, the System has automatically removed any Demonic Path hidden dangers and Heavenly Dao backlash, making it a perfect fit for the Host!]

"Hiss—good stuff!"

Lu Yuan sucked in a breath of cold air, suppressing the wild joy in his heart that made him want to roar at the sky.

This 'Undying Heavenly Art' was one of the top-tier Legacies in the Shrouding Universe; by comparison, that so-called 'Blood Scripture' was simply trash from a street stall!

With this divine art containing Nirvana Rebirth attributes, his future survival and endurance capabilities would see another qualitative leap.

Even if he were beaten down to a single drop of blood, he could instantly resurrect at full strength!

Yet at this moment—

"Rumble—!!!"

The entire Immortal Burial Abyss, and even the surrounding territory for a hundred thousand miles, suddenly shook violently without warning.

This shaking was no ordinary earthquake; even space itself was trembling, as if a magnitude twelve earthquake had occurred, threatening to overturn heaven and earth.

A terrifying demonic pressure that made the Soul feel palpitations, as if originating from the primordial era, transformed into a physical pillar of black Qi and soared into the sky from beneath the Bone Altar at the deepest part of the canyon!

"Not good!"

Lu Yuan's expression changed abruptly, the joy on his face instantly freezing. He snapped his head up, his gaze fixed on the direction of the altar.

He had made a single oversight! Although the Blood Withered Old Demon had been forcefully killed by Lu Li, and the thousands of female cultivators serving as the Formation's catalyst had been successfully rescued by Gu Qingxue and the others—

Before the Sky-Swallowing Lion Emperor fled in terror, that old monster had clearly completed the final step of the blood sacrifice ritual in secret! He had pre-injected the resentful blood of tens of millions of living beings, collected elsewhere beforehand, into the core of that altar!

"Buzz—"

A thick, dark red demonic light that pierced through heaven and earth erupted from the center of the Bone Altar. It surged toward the clouds with an unstoppable momentum, instantly punching through the cloud layer above.

The sky of the entire Xuanhuang Realm lost its original color in this instant, turning into an extremely oppressive dark red, as if it could drip blood.

Endless, viscous, ink-like physical Devilish Qi swept out from the cracks in the Seal at the bottom of the Immortal Burial Abyss like a bursting tsunami.

Wherever the Devilish Qi passed, life was severed.

Lush vegetation instantly withered into fly ash, and hard mountain rocks were corroded into fine black sand.

"Ah—! My head! Kill! Kill all of you!"

Even more terrifyingly, on the outskirts of the Immortal Burial Abyss, countless birds and beasts who had originally come to watch the excitement or seek treasure—and even low-level Loose Cultivators whose cultivation was below the Soul Transformation Stage—had no power to resist under the erosion of this terrifying Devilish Qi.

Their eyes instantly became blood-red, their bodies grew black scales and bone spikes, and their reason was completely stripped away. They were instantly demonized, turning into low-level demonic creatures that knew only slaughter and devouring, beginning to frantically attack their former companions.

And within that dark red demonic light soaring into the sky, a black heart the size of a house, its surface covered with dense and eerie demonic runes, was slowly rising along the pillar of light.

That heart was beating violently in mid-air.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

The dull heartbeat sounded like the beating of war drums.
