113: Great Evolution of Cultivation Techniques

The Black Water Marsh, a hundred miles of swamp, was filled with Death Qi.

The thick, inky miasma rolled, obscuring the sky and sun, its stench foul and pungent. Several villages had been completely swallowed by the gray-green Demonic Mist, silent and dead, leaving only ruins.

Lin Jingyu stood in the air, his Blood Fiend Division Master robe flapping loudly.

The aura of his Dharma Aspect Realm Third Stage Peak was restrained, yet it caused the swamp below to boil and the hidden, weaker demonic creatures to tremble.

"Director Sir! The source of the Demonic Qi is right in the center of the marsh!" Deputy Sun Qian pointed to a distant area where black mud boiled and nine thick gray smoke pillars rose, his voice grave.

"According to the villagers who escaped, there's a huge snake shadow in the smoke pillars that spits out toxic clouds, instantly turning people into pus and blood!"

"I know."

In his eyes, those nine smoke pillars were nine massive sources of evolution points!

His figure flashed, appearing above the center of the marsh as if teleporting.

"Roar—!"

An earth-shattering roar exploded from the black mud pit below! Mud shot into the sky, forming nine colossal mud Dragon tornadoes connecting heaven and earth!

At the top of each mud Dragon tornado, a hideous snake head emerged!

The snake heads were as large as houses, covered in thick, dark-green scales. Scarlet vertical pupils locked onto Lin Jingyu, filled with brutality and greed!

Nine-Headed Poisonous Flood Dragon! Fifth Heaven of Dharma Manifestation Realm!

The largest snake head in the center suddenly opened its massive maw and spewed out a horrifying green torrent of poison, thick as paste and emitting a pungent, foul odor!

Wherever the Poison Torrent passed, the space itself was corroded, sizzling loudly!

The other eight snake heads simultaneously spat out poison mist, poison arrows, and poison fire, weaving a devastating poison net that instantly enveloped Lin Jingyu!

"Trifling tricks." Lin Jingyu's gaze was indifferent. He didn't even use the Star Shattering Finger. He simply raised his right hand and clenched his five fingers into a fist.

Boom!

The Perfection level power of the Chaos Heaven Opening Art erupted with a bang!

Primordial Chaos light flowed around his fist, as if he held a mass of the original power that opened the heavens and established the earth!

There were no fancy Moves; it was just the simplest, purest punch, smashing down violently towards the sky-filling poison net!

Crack!

Space shattered like fragile glass!

The horrifying poison net, capable of corroding the Protective Aura of a Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator, instantly dissolved and annihilated upon contact with the Chaos Fist Aura, like snow beneath a scorching sun.

The Fist Aura, its momentum undiminished, slammed viciously onto the main head of the Nine-Headed Poisonous Flood Dragon—the one that had spewed the Poison Torrent—like a falling meteor.

Bang!!!

An extremely dull, colossal sound rang out!

That hideous, house-sized snake head, along with the thick scales covering it, instantly burst apart, like a watermelon struck by a heavy hammer!

Red, white, and green fluids, mixed with shattered bones and scales, poured down like a torrential rain!

"Hiss-AWOO—!!" The Poisonous Flood Dragon let out a shrill, distorted wail of pain. Its remaining eight heads thrashed wildly; the intense agony drove it into a complete frenzy!

Its massive body churned the mud pit, stirring up ten thousand feet of mud waves! A scorpion tail covered in viscous poison, tipped with a huge poisonous hook, tore through the mud waves. Like a Hellish poison whip, it shot towards Lin Jingyu, accompanied by a piercing shriek that ripped through the air!

This was its life-bound Demonic Artifact—the Nine-Section Scorpion Tail Whip!

Simultaneously, the eight heads spat again: poison mist, poison fire, poison water arrows, poison wind blades... various attacks containing the embryonic form of Poison Law surged forth, overwhelming the sky!

"Annoying." Lin Jingyu frowned slightly. Dealing with this kind of multi-headed beast one by one was too troublesome.

With a thought, the Void Realm behind him violently twisted, and the Star Annihilation Manifestation descended with a crash!

The Dharma Aspect at this moment stood a hundred zhang tall!

Its entire body flowed with faint Chaos light and God-Demon runes. The left eye was like a burning star, and the right eye was like a silent black hole.

The terrifying pressure caused the mud of the entire Black Water Marsh to sink several zhang!

The Dharma Aspect made no unnecessary movements. Its massive fists were clenched, Chaos and Star Power intertwined, and it launched both fists simultaneously toward the rampaging Poisonous Flood Dragon and the sky-filling poison attacks below!

"Annihilate!"

Boom! Boom!

Two fist seals, resembling Chaos stars, crashed down with the mighty power to crush everything!

The Nine-Section Scorpion Tail Whip, which could pierce mountains, instantly broke inch by inch and turned into dust upon contact with the fist seals!

The sky-filling poison mist, poison fire, poison water arrows, poison wind blades... all attacks vanished like fleeting bubbles!

The residual might of the fist seals remained undiminished, slamming viciously onto the Poisonous Flood Dragon's massive body!

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Eight explosions merged into a single deafening sound!

The remaining eight hideous snake heads, along with a large portion of the body, simultaneously burst open like paper under the mighty power of Chaos Annihilation! Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and bones pulverized!

The Poisonous Flood Dragon's massive remnant body stiffened for an instant, then crashed violently into the depths of the mud pit as if all its bones had been removed, stirring up mud waves that blocked out the sky and sun! The foul-smelling Demonic Blood instantly dyed the hundred-mile swamp red!

Instant kill! Absolute crushing force!

The Nine-Headed Poisonous Flood Dragon of the Fifth Heaven of Dharma Manifestation Realm couldn't withstand two punches when Lin Jingyu activated the Perfection level power of the Chaos Heaven Opening Art and the Archaic God-Demon Visualization Chart!

The Dharma Aspect behind Lin Jingyu slowly dissipated.

He grabbed in the air, and a fist-sized Demonic Core, entirely emerald green and wrapped with nine poison runes, flew out from the depths of the mud and landed in his hand. It felt heavy and contained majestic Demonic Power and the embryonic form of Poison Law.

"System, convert."

[Ding! Converting the remains and Demonic Core of a Dharma Aspect Realm Fifth Stage Nine-Headed Poisonous Flood Dragon! Gained evolution points: 800,000 points!]

A white light flashed, and the massive Flood Dragon corpse and Demonic Core disappeared.

[Total evolution points: 890,000 points] (Original 90,000)

Sun Qian and the Demon Suppression Division elites watching from afar were already petrified. They had anticipated that Director Sir would win, but they never expected such a devastating, crushing victory!

Exploding a Dharma Aspect Fifth Stage Great Demon with two punches! This completely overturned their martial Dao understanding!

In a quiet room of the Blood Fiend Division.

Lin Jingyu sat cross-legged, isolating himself from the outside world. With 890,000 evolution points in hand, he didn't hesitate.

"System! Enhance Great Void Teleportation! Major Achievement!"

[Ding! Consuming 300,000 evolution points! Great Void Teleportation has been upgraded to Major Achievement! Spatial travel distance, speed, and stability are greatly enhanced! Preliminary mastery of short-distance spatial folding jump!]

Massive Spatial Profound Truths flooded his Sea of Consciousness! His perception and control over space instantly leaped several levels! With a single thought, he felt as if he could merge into the Void Realm and travel a thousand miles in an instant!

"System! Enhance Star Shattering Finger! Perfection!"

[Ding! Consuming 400,000 evolution points! Star Shattering Finger has been upgraded to Perfection! The power to annihilate stars is condensed to the extreme! A finger strike shatters stars! Imbued with the ability to annihilate space!]

The dark-gold sharpness at his fingertip was completely internalized, yet it emitted a terrifying aura that caused space itself to twist and tremble!

It felt as if a single finger could pierce a star and annihilate all things!

"System! Enhance Star Body Tempering Method! Assault the Limit!"

[Ding! Consuming 190,000 evolution points! Star Body Tempering Method has been deduced to the limit of the current Realm! Star Gangsha is condensed into substance! Physical Body strength, power, recovery, and Star Power affinity have reached the theoretical Peak of the Dharma Aspect Realm!]

Majestic Star Power surged into his body! The dark silver Star Gangsha on his surface flowed like liquid metal. His muscle and bone density increased yet again, emitting a low rumble like the movement of stars! His defense and power reached a new high!

Power! An unprecedented power surged within his body!

Lin Jingyu felt that his current self could smash the previous Nine-Headed Poisonous Flood Dragon into cosmic dust with a single punch!

Speed, defense, and attack—all aspects had reached the absolute limit of the Dharma Aspect Realm! The higher-level Domain Realm seemed separated by only a thin sheet of paper!

'Primordial Creation Scripture... requires a medium...' He scanned the System prompt with his mind. The medium required for this Cultivation Technique, which surpassed the Dharma Aspect Realm, was certainly not ordinary.

Just as he was getting familiar with his surging power, the blood fiend division master token in his arms vibrated slightly, transmitting a mental message from Qin Shanhe:

"Brother Lin, you handled the Black Water Marsh beautifully! Clean and swift! Your Majesty was overjoyed upon hearing the news! However... I have a private matter. Third Prince Your Highness is very interested in you and wants to meet you privately at 'Listening to Waves Studio' in the eastern part of the city. Whether you go or not is entirely up to you. A reminder, this Your Highness... is not simple. His maternal clan has deep ties with the overseas 'Xuanming Island'."

Third Prince? Xuanming Island?

Lin Jingyu's eyes showed no fluctuation.

A Prince? In his eyes, he was just a source of larger evolution points, or... trouble.

He acted only according to his own heart. Imperial power? Rules? All were illusory.

Just as he was about to get up, the yin prison token and the nameless fragment in his arms once again emitted a strong resonance!

This time, it wasn't conflict or suction, but a strange, harmonious call! It was as if a missing gear had finally found its place!

Lin Jingyu's eyes narrowed, and he instantly submerged his consciousness into his storage space.

He saw the nameless fragment, covered in twisted dark-gold runes, slowly floating up and moving closer to the similarly suspended yin prison token.

The symbols on the surfaces of both items flowed, connected, and merged like living things!

An aura of massive Deathly Silence, far purer and more ancient than before, seemingly originating from the Origin of the Nine Nethers, began to spread!

At the same time, a faint but incredibly clear spatial coordinate message was imprinted into Lin Jingyu's mind!

The coordinates pointed to—the extreme depths beneath the Imperial Capital! A place more secretive and dangerous than the entrance to the Demon Kingdom!

The light from the token and the fragment gradually merged, forming a single, more complete token with a deeper, more terrifying aura.

On the front of the token, a distorted character, "Prison" ( prison), faintly appeared, emitting a solemn majesty that could freeze the Soul!

The yin prison token was complete!
