Chapter 23 The Art of Slaughter, Dangerous Ideas
Zhao Tianpeng walked to the dark cave entrance. The icy Yin energy that was so cold it felt like a sharp blade piercing his bones actually made him feel comfortable. His pores opened wide, and he inhaled and exhaled the pure Yin energy, which melted into a dim yellow divine light to nourish his body.
After venturing several miles into the black hole, he entered a huge stone chamber with four enormous stone pillars standing on the four sides. The pillars were carved with large dragons coiling around them, each holding an iron chain as thick as an adult's arm in its mouth. Streams of earth vein dragon energy flowed over the iron chains, and the other end of the chains was locked to a black dog several meters long.
"dog?"
"It wasn't a female ghost after all."
Somewhat disappointed, Zhao Tianpeng looked at a stone tablet at the entrance of the stone chamber, which was inscribed with the words: "The Heavenly Master Zhang Lin locks the Yin Spirit here."
"A spirit of the underworld?"
Zhao Tianpeng turned his gaze back to the locked black dog and examined it carefully. He discovered that the dog was not a spirit with flesh and blood. Even if a spirit had flesh and blood, it was still essentially an undead spirit. But the black dog in front of him was alive! It just had a strange aura about it.
"So it really is a spirit of the underworld?"
The Yin God was incredibly powerful in life, and after death, his divine flesh remained immortal. He was buried in an extremely mysterious place and nourished for hundreds of thousands of years. One day, this physical corpse will "come alive" and give birth to a new spirit.
After the ultimate death, one is reborn!
This is a heaven-defying change, escaping the judgment of the heavens. This kind of creature is a heaven-defying miracle, extremely terrifying. Once it learns to cultivate and grows step by step, it will eventually become invincible and able to contend with the greatest existence!
"I originally thought it was just a malevolent spirit nurtured by abundant yin energy, but I never expected it to be a yin deity."
Zhao Tianpeng's gaze gradually burned with fervor. This was a Yin God born from the depths of death; its very existence was a great fortune, and if it truly grew up, it could rival a Great Emperor.
Just as he was examining the Yin God, the black dog that had discovered his presence suddenly moved, poised to pounce. The primordial patterns on the iron chains lit up, and the earth's dragon veins circulated, locking the Yin God firmly in place, unable to take a single step forward, only able to let out a ferocious roar.
"This voice is full of energy; you can tell it has a deep and resonant origin just by listening to it."
The more Zhao Tianpeng looked at the Yin spirit, the more he liked it, and the more he liked it, the more he wanted to devour it!
"The Yin God Origin, which can grow to be comparable to that of an Emperor, is far more desirable than the Origin of a Quasi-Nine Ancient Race."
He decided to devour the essence of the Yin God to complete a transformation through nine lives and nine deaths.
Zhao Tianpeng looked at the black dog, which was still ferocious under the suppression of the Origin Heaven Pattern, and summoned the Devouring Demon Cover from the Bitter Sea and slapped it on the head of the Yin God. Even though the Devouring Demon Cover had not awakened any divine power, the essence of the Supreme Emperor Weapon was there. How could a Yin God who had just come back to life and was locked up and had not learned to cultivate resist it? It was knocked unconscious on the spot.
"Little girl, wait here for me to finish my transformation, don't run around."
Zhao Tianpeng left enough water and food for the little girl, released the Purgatory Pagoda to guard the entrance of the stone chamber, and then activated his profound magic, forming a magic seal with his hands. A mournful and desolate yin wind swept through the entire stone chamber, and the rattling sound of iron chains rang out. Several pitch-black iron chains flew out from his sea of bitterness and pierced directly through the body of the Yin God. A ball of dark and heavy origin was extracted and dragged into the sea of reincarnation, falling straight down onto a dragon mountain in the burial soil cultivated on the other shore. The burial soil churned, and a grave mound appeared.
In an instant, ghostly energy surged within the sea of suffering, and countless ghostly figures appeared and disappeared. The Yin God Dharma Image on the burial ground roared, but was crushed by the terrain of the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountain. The essence within the burial ground was melted and extracted. One after another, pure essence containing brilliant divine light and fragments of the Great Dao Law flowed within that Dragon Mountain. Streams of dark innate essence carrying fragments of the Great Dao transformed into ink rivers that fell upon the demonic coffin and were swallowed by the Yellow Spring Demon Embryo within the coffin.
Zhao Tianpeng underwent another transformation. His blood and qi surged and grew stronger day by day. On the ninth day, it was as if a blood-red sun had been stuffed into the entire stone chamber. Within a thousand feet of the cave entrance, the scorching blood and qi burned away all the yin energy, making it completely different from the previous eerie yin energy.
Just as the Qi and Blood Sun reached its most intense intensity, the center of the sun suddenly changed. The purest and most intense life force seemed to have burned out, turning into a pure and extremely pure death energy. This was like the support point of a building block being pulled out, and the collapse happened in an instant. The Qi and Blood Sun collapsed and turned into a black hole of death energy. The Yin energy and death energy in the entire dragon vein and dragon path were drawn into the stone chamber. The Yin energy and death energy gathered and almost turned into liquid. The sound of rushing water echoed throughout the entire mountain range.
Zhao Tianpeng transformed into a black hole of deathly energy, swallowing deathly and yin energy for nine days and nine nights. His spiritual light, carrying boundless deathly energy, sank into the empty shell of the Yin God's origin. On the tenth day, he was reborn from the depths of death. A phantom image of the Reincarnation Mark rose from the burial ground and transformed into another dark moon. His originally withered body shattered, and a new body emerged from it. There were no strange phenomena, only pure vitality quietly overflowing. Flowers and plants visibly grew in the cracks of the stone chamber.
"Another innate divine technique, accompanied by a Yin spirit."
Zhao Tianpeng's eyes flashed with a strange light. He had previously undergone a life-and-death transformation using the essence of a blood beast and thus obtained a divine innate technique. This technique allowed him to condense supreme killing intent and forge two supreme killing sword lights within his blood and qi. One was called Yuan Tu, and the other A Bi. Yuan Tu was used to destroy the physical body, while A Bi was used to slay the primordial spirit. The more killing this technique was, the greater its power. The more living beings were killed, the more the sword lights would feed back to the innate essence blood to strengthen the blood and qi. In the end, it could be refined from the illusory into the real and transformed into two supreme killing swords. At that time, all living beings in the world would be killed.
However, it is not easy to hone the sword light. He swept across hundreds of thousands of miles of the Northern Region and hunted down 100,000 bandits before he could finally condense enough killing intent to integrate into his blood and qi to hone it. Now, he is just waiting for the tempering to be completed before another great killing technique will be born!
Now, having undergone another life-or-death transformation, he has gained another innate divine skill.
"A companion spirit can be forged from the corpses of living beings, possessing absolute loyalty and only the instinct to fight. It can assist in battle and kill enemies. Even if it is killed, it can be forged again with innate essence, making it virtually immortal. The stronger the strength and origin of the corpse used, the stronger the potential of the companion spirit forged."
"interesting."
Zhao Tianpeng pondered, "If I use the remains left behind by a ruthless person..."
He quickly dismissed the dangerous thought. If he really mastered it, and a ruthless person glanced at it when he was awake, wouldn't he explode?
"It's a pity that the Immortal Daoist's physical body was designated by Wushi for blood sacrifice on the path to immortality. Otherwise, refining him would be making the most of his flesh and bones. If we were to refine the Immortal Daoist's primordial spirit into the Myriad Soul Banner, the utilization rate would be 100%."
"What should we use for the ritual?"
"The Great Perfection of the Sacred Body of the Sacred Cliff?"
"That's not appropriate; we don't have the ability to erase the murderous aura from the corpses."
