225: One thousand two hundred and thirty-six strands of true demonic energy

“Hmm? It seems someone is doing the same thing as me…”

Gu Changsheng looked at the towering demonic shadow in the center of the pool.

A wisp of True Devil Qi was slowly merging into the mountain-like demonic body.

Suddenly, a scarlet single eye abruptly appeared on the demonic body’s chest, splitting into a crack filled with bone-white fangs: “True Devil Qi… You actually have thirty-three wisps of True Devil Qi on you.

Haha, the Great Dao is within reach, the Great Dao is within reach!”

Roar——

The scarlet single eye shot out a death ray, sweeping across half of the True Devil Pool.

“Hmm? Its power is almost close to the limit of the True Core Realm…”

Gu Changsheng’s feet glowed with a Escape Light, and he dodged continuously.

At every landing spot, the death ray followed closely.

“The main body must descend by half a percent…”

Gu Changsheng’s eyes sharpened, his flesh and blood squirmed, and his aura climbed steadily, reaching the limit of the True Core Realm in the blink of an eye.

Blood Qi surged, and a bronze luster appeared on his palm.

The Devilish Qi in the entire world surged wildly, gathering in his palm, transforming into a colossal palm that reached the sky.

Supreme Divine Ability — Mahākāla Immeasurable!

Bang——

With one palm strike, the majestic demonic shadow’s bones shattered, and foul blood flew everywhere.

Wisps of True Devil Qi, not yet fully absorbed, frantically dispersed from the shattered body.

“Thirteen wisps of True Devil Qi… Not bad…”

Gu Changsheng’s mouth curved slightly, and he threw out a blank scroll, sealing the thirteen wisps of True Devil Qi.

In the blink of an eye, thirteen strange black snakes appeared in the center of the scroll.

“This demonic body has already surpassed a first-grade demonic body and is transforming into a True Devil body. Perhaps there will be a way to extract its essence in the future…”

Take it!

In the blink of an eye, only Gu Changsheng remained in the entire True Devil Pool.

Familiar scenes immediately appeared in his mind.

However, this time it was different from before; the bubbles that appeared this time were significantly larger than before.

Most importantly, the trial participants within the bubbles were clearly all Cultivators of the Profound Cave Realm.

“The strength of my previous attack exceeded the Profound Cave Realm, so it’s restricting me… Hehe, interesting…”

Gu Changsheng smiled faintly, his consciousness connected to a large bubble, and his body gradually dissolved into space.

“True Devil Pool No. 33, Medium-sized… It seems this is just a sub-pool…”

Gu Changsheng suddenly appeared in a massive True Devil Pool, where the Devilish Qi was several times purer than before.

Most importantly, in his perception, there was more than one wisp of True Devil Qi contained within the pool water.

“Hmm? A True Core Realm Cultivator? How did he get here?”

“Junior, why aren’t you scramming quickly!”

“It is said that some peerless Prodigies, whose True Core can fight against the Profound Cave, will be automatically identified by the Formation and teleported to a higher-level True Devil Pool.

I never expected to see it today.”

Suddenly, a tall Sacred Race member covered in scales slowly approached, a cruel smile on his face: “Peerless Genius? What I like to kill most are peerless Geniuses… Haha…”

As soon as these words were spoken, a Profound Cave Cultivator nearby joked: “Haha, this old freak Huang is truly shameless, using his Middle Stage Profound Cave cultivation to attack a True Core Realm Cultivator.

However… humiliating such a Genius is truly interesting.”

“This old freak Huang forged a first-grade Yellow Springs demonic body, capable of accommodating billions of Refined Corpses.

The more there are, the stronger he becomes.

He’s probably taken a fancy to this kid’s corpse.”

“Haha, a mere Senmu Clan member, how powerful can he be…”

Whoosh——

Overwhelming Devilish Qi surged, churning, and countless Refined Corpses and malevolent spirits stood on the clouds, flying over in unison.

“Junior… become my one hundred thousand and eighth Corpse…”

A giant reddish-yellow malevolent claw appeared in the Void Realm, with countless malevolent spirits wailing on it, emitting soul-stirring roars.

“Senluo Yellow Springs Ghost Hand!

Old freak Huang is truly shameless, using such a powerful Divine Ability right from the start!”

“Hehe, that kid is dead for sure!”

As the giant ghost claw attacked, Gu Changsheng’s expression remained as calm as an ancient well, but his right palm became increasingly brilliant, a bronze luster gradually shining.

Bang——

The Devilish Qi in the Void Realm surged, converging into a palm that struck out violently. Only a mournful scream was heard as old freak Huang’s demonic body, like a deflated balloon, flew hundreds of feet away, and the pure Devilish Qi within him frantically dispersed.

Thud——

A scaled arm fell into the pool water.

The entire scene was stunned into silence.

“Impossible! Old freak Huang actually lost!”

“Such a powerful Divine Ability, it seems to have the flavor of the ancient Witch Clan!”

“Such Body Refining cultivation is simply inconceivable.”

In the center of the True Devil Pool, several Late Stage Profound Cave Great Saints who occupied the pool eye all looked over, their eyes revealing chilling killing intent.

This level of strength already posed a threat to them.

Gu Changsheng sighed inwardly: “It’s still not enough… It seems the degree of descent needs to be deepened further…”

Blood Qi surged, the great Dragon of his spine roared, his body gradually became crystalline, and his aura surged wildly.

“Thirty percent should be enough…”

Even with just thirty percent, his magic power was still three times that of a peer Late Stage Profound Cave Cultivator!

After a cup of tea’s time.

Foul demonic blood stained the pool water, and demonic bodies floated on the surface.

In the center of the True Devil Pool, bubbles still gurgled, and pure Devilish Qi seemed to emerge endlessly.

“Got it…”

Gu Changsheng’s mouth curved slightly, sealing eight wisps of True Devil Qi into the painting.

“Hmm? Two wisps are missing…”

He frowned; according to his calculations, this True Devil Pool should have ten wisps of True Devil Qi.

Clearly, someone had refined two wisps.

“Never mind…”

Gu Changsheng’s expression returned to calm, and he headed to the next True Devil Pool.

An hour later.

True Devil Pool No. 73, Medium-sized, was wiped out.

He obtained seven wisps of True Devil Qi.

Two hours later.

True Devil Pool No. 8, Medium-sized, was completely wiped out.

He obtained nine wisps of True Devil Qi… Several days later.

At a medium-sized True Devil Pool.

Nine wisps of True Devil Qi flew into the scroll.

Gu Changsheng’s mouth curved into an arc: “One thousand two hundred and thirty-six wisps of True Devil Qi… Very good… It’s more than enough for me to Cultivate to the Peak of the Late Stage Profound Cave Realm.”

The Immortal Spiritual Energy obtained from the demonic heart crossing had a considerable effect even on the Yang Spirit Realm.

Currently, every additional wisp of True Devil Qi was paving the way for his future Yang Spirit and adding a portion of resources.

“It’s still not enough!”

The fire of ambition burned in Gu Changsheng’s eyes.

At this moment, above countless bubbles, a colossal True Devil Pool was held high, vast and boundless, like an ocean, with no end in sight.

Countless wisps of True Devil Qi flew out from the nine-eyed vortex, seemingly as common as cabbages.

In the pool, there was a central island, where more than a dozen Yang Spirit Realm Sacred Ancestors were seated. They varied in form, some covered in fur and scales, others with wriggling tentacles, clearly from different races, yet their auras were immensely powerful.

“Good wine!”

The Longevity Ancestor, whose head was swollen like a peach, drank deeply from the beautiful wine in the wine vessel, a look of intoxication on his scarlet eyes.

“Fragrant Lingzhi flower, Green Dragon Branch, ancient Sacred Beast powder, combined with True Devil Qi brewed for ten thousand years… Thanks to Holy Ancestor Jialan for opening this grand event, an old man like me can finally satisfy his craving.”

“Haha, such a grand event is extremely rare.

It’s fortunate that the Senmu Realm merged into our Sacred Realm, which led to the production of so much True Devil Qi.”

The Nirvana Sacred Ancestor, covered in golden scales like a golden man, laughed.

“Thus, our Sacred Realm has gained three more fellow Dao Cultivators!”

Her long, ice-blue skirt trailed to the ground, and Holy Ancestor Jialan leaned back on the main seat, her ice-blue eyes looking into the distance.

Three Senmu Clan Sacred Ancestors were immersed in the three vortex water eyes, greedily absorbing True Devil Qi.

Visibly, various mysterious demonic patterns appeared on their bodies, and their auras surged upward.

Suddenly, a tall, muscular man with an aura like a demon god approached her side.

“Holy Ancestor Jialan, in the two Lower Realm True Devil Pools, a peerless Prodigy seems to have appeared, slaughtering wildly, and he has probably collected over a thousand wisps of True Devil Qi.”

“Oh, that’s a good thing. It means our Sacred Realm’s Luck is flourishing, and in the future, we might gain another Yang Spirit Sacred Ancestor,” Holy Ancestor Jialan said nonchalantly.

“It’s just…”

“Just what?”

“This person is quite strange; his aura is mixed with those of the Senmu Clan and the Human Race.

Most importantly, he has not yet forged a demonic body.”

Upon hearing this, Holy Ancestor Jialan frowned slightly.

Without forging a demonic body, he could not be considered a Sacred Race member.

A faint light appeared in her ice-blue eyes, piercing through layers of Void Realm, enveloping the surroundings, and Gu Changsheng’s figure appeared in her vision.

After a long while.

“So that’s how it is…”

Holy Ancestor Jialan’s mouth curved slightly, forming a beautiful arc, and she said coolly: “You all need not interfere in this matter.

I have my own judgment.”
