164: Chapter 164 The Unlucky Heavenly Demon

This fellow's attitude was extremely cautious, as if Li Daoxuan would strike and kill him if he were even slightly provoked.

Li Daoxuan was very satisfied with the man's attitude and asked with a smile, "I wish to leave this place. I wonder if you are willing to facilitate that?"

The Cultivator couldn't help but think to himself, "You've already put it that way, how could I possibly disagree?"

However, he didn't dare let his expression change in the slightest, quickly saying respectfully, "It is this Junior's honor to assist Senior in leaving this place."

The strongest person guarding the outside was only at the Nascent Soul Stage, though there was a Formation protecting the area.

But for a Soul Transformation powerhouse like him, that was simply nothing.

All he wanted now was to send this person away as quickly as possible; he didn't dare hope for anything else.

After all, the fact that this fellow could achieve a Breakthrough to the Soul Transformation Stage here proved how incredibly ruthless he was.

At that moment, the other Cultivators hurriedly knelt on the ground and asked cautiously, "Can Senior take us out with you? We are willing to swear an Inner Demon Vow to pledge our loyalty to Senior."

"As long as Senior can take us out, we will never betray you. If Senior tells us to go east, we will never go west."

An old man suddenly looked up and said, "We beg Senior to take us out. We all have families at home. We have been stranded here for a long time and don't know how our families are doing."

"Rest assured, Senior, we will not cause trouble once we are out. As soon as we find our relatives and friends, we will Cultivate peacefully."

Another powerhouse added quickly, "Yes, Senior. When this Junior entered this place, my son had just been born. I don't know how he is now. We beg for Senior's mercy to take us with you."

Li Daoxuan smiled disdainfully and asked, "Those who can survive here are no ordinary people. Tell me, how am I supposed to trust you?"

The old man bit his finger and pointed to the sky, saying, "This Junior swears by the Heavenly Demon. As long as Senior takes me out, I will obey Senior's every command. If I fail to act according to my vow, I shall surely die from a Heavenly Demon entering my body."

Li Daoxuan, who originally had no intentions, heard this vow and couldn't help but ask, "Can this vow truly summon a Heavenly Demon?"

Thinking of the Heavenly Demon he had absorbed earlier, Li Daoxuan's heart stirred. It would be great if he could catch that Heavenly Demon again.

The old man blinked, not knowing why this Senior didn't know about such a vow, but since the Senior asked, he answered honestly.

After all, he had just made the vow and had to obey Li Daoxuan's words no matter what.

"As long as the vow is violated, a Heavenly Demon will definitely be summoned."

Li Daoxuan asked eagerly, "I wonder if the summoned Heavenly Demon exists inside or outside the body?"

The old man quickly replied, "Senior, it exists inside the body."

Li Daoxuan couldn't help but frown. If it was inside the body, it wouldn't be good for him to violate such vows himself. Who knew if he could absorb the opponent while it was inside his own body?

If it were a weak Heavenly Demon, he might give it a try, but he didn't dare attempt it now.

However, just because he couldn't break the vow didn't mean others couldn't. How to manipulate this would depend on him.

Li Daoxuan's eyes darted around as he said to the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator from the Divine Beast Sect, "You, make a vow as well and let me see."

The Divine Beast Sect Cultivator quickly made the vow. He didn't dare hesitate for a moment, fearing Li Daoxuan would strike and kill him.

Once he made the vow, Li Daoxuan's mind stirred, and he directly took control of the man, compelling him to attack him.

This scene left the others dumbfounded; they never expected Li Daoxuan would do such a thing.

When the Cultivator who had made the vow attacked Li Daoxuan, his body suddenly trembled, and waves of Devilish Qi began to emanate from him.

Li Daoxuan slapped a hand onto him, and a powerful suction force erupted from his palm, continuously drawing the Devilish Qi into himself.

Since the Cultivator was under his control, he clearly noticed that the man wasn't being too heavily affected.

This made Li Daoxuan excited, as he had found something good to increase his cultivation.

At that moment, his suction force became even stronger, but the Cultivator actually spoke.

"How presumptuous! Who dares to absorb this demon's energy?"

Only then did the others realize Li Daoxuan's intention. It seemed his Cultivation Technique was quite formidable.

Those who had been harboring other ulterior motives all stopped, as Li Daoxuan's cultivation was simply too powerful.

Li Daoxuan rapidly absorbed the Heavenly Demon's energy, and his cultivation grew stronger once again. This was exactly what he wanted.

The Heavenly Demon roared furiously, but its energy could not coalesce within the Divine Beast Sect Cultivator's body, instead flowing continuously into Li Daoxuan.

Li Daoxuan's cultivation continued to rise, soon breaking through to the seventh level of Soul Transformation, and then becoming an eighth-level Soul Transformation Cultivator.

At this time, the Heavenly Demon's energy still hadn't weakened, being continuously absorbed into Li Daoxuan's body as his cultivation pushed toward the ninth level of Soul Transformation.

The Heavenly Demon seemed to sense something and suddenly surged toward Li Daoxuan, no longer requiring him to draw it out.

Li Daoxuan thought 'not good', but it was too late to resist, and he allowed the entity to sink into his body.

But the moment it entered his body, the Heavenly Demon was suppressed by that jade pendant.

Then the jade pendant and Li Daoxuan together absorbed the Heavenly Demon's energy, quickly draining it completely.

After the Heavenly Demon disappeared, the Divine Beast Sect Cultivator regained consciousness and looked at Li Daoxuan in terror.

Li Daoxuan instantly took control of him again, forcing him to attack once more, and the Heavenly Demon descended again.

The other Cultivators were once again dumbfounded. Could cultivation be increased like this? What kind of Cultivation Technique was he practicing that could actually absorb a Heavenly Demon?

Didn't that mean any Heavenly Demon Vow this guy made wouldn't count? The thought was terrifying.

The Divine Beast Sect member attacked him once more, and the Heavenly Demon arrived as expected.

Just like before, it was a Heavenly Demon Clone; after all, the true body of a Heavenly Demon cannot descend into this world.

However, if it occupied the body of a powerhouse from this world and its cultivation reached a certain level, or if a specific summoning ritual was performed, it could still be summoned.

But under normal circumstances, the true body of a Heavenly Demon cannot appear in the Cultivation World.

The massive suction force left the Heavenly Demon Clone dumbfounded. It had just lost one Clone, and now another was being taken.

Li Daoxuan hadn't expected it to be the same Heavenly Demon, and that he was absorbing the same entity, just via a different Clone.

The Great Ocean Boundless Sutra within him circulated wildly, and a steady stream of Heavenly Demon energy surged from the opponent's body into his own.

Li Daoxuan said with a smile, "Thanks a lot! Give me more of this energy in the future; that one Clone was really too little."

The previous Heavenly Demon Clone hadn't allowed him to reach the ninth level of Soul Transformation, but this one allowed him to break through directly.

Man proposes, but God disposes. He had originally planned to use the essence of those old Soul Transformation fellows to increase his cultivation, but he hadn't expected to find such a great method in the blink of an eye. Truly, the Heavenly Dao is on my side.
