Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

During the sixth transformation, he forcefully captured a White Deer at the Embrace Pill Realm.

As a result, the demons and beasts his body could contain also rose a grade in strength.

Under normal circumstances, this little Demon King was already at the limit of what the Nine Transformations of the Immortal Demon could withstand. After completely subduing it, this Body Refining Method prefixed with "Precious" could probably reach a level unrivaled below that of the Demon King.

After all, it was just the Condensation Elixir Tempering Method.

But now things were different. If Shen Yi's guess was correct, he might indeed be able to capture a Demon King within his body.

Forcefully pushing the Condensation Elixir Tempering Method to the level of the Primordial Realm.

At this thought, Shen Yi consumed the Demon Core and harnessed the life span of the demon beast.

Watching as the life span rapidly decreased.

He felt a bit more expectant in his heart. The substantial enhancement of his body from such potent demonic power goes without saying—perhaps the combined might of the previous seven Immortal Demons would barely equal that of the little Demon King.

What Shen Yi truly wanted to know was what exactly was the magical talent of this bull demon.

Why hadn't he seen it used during their previous confrontation?

He calmly watched the prompts on the panel, his powerful divine sense already perfectly aware of the slightest change in his body since the last battle with the Dao Fetus.

How demonic power condenses into Immortal Demons, and how consciousness is born from it.

The changes in deduction that stretched over thousands of years were now gradually appearing within his body.

Shen Yi didn't know what use these sensations had, but gathering more experience was always a good thing.

Clearly, the thought processes of the old Jiaolong and the Crocodile Dragon were too rudimentary, both in their realm and their vision.

Their approach was correct, yet they used the clumsiest method.

Using vitality to tame demonic power, waiting for it to take shape naturally, and then slowly nurturing consciousness... Each transformation was like watching a demon beast grow from birth to adulthood, no wonder it was so slow.

It's just that he didn't know where to obtain more advanced martial arts.

[In the 8,600th year, a Blood Transformation Demon Ox formed inside your body. You tamed it with your vitality for thousands of years, yet you still couldn't wash away the demon air from its body completely. It can't be called an Immortal Demon; it's still a demon.]

[As the Demon Ox incarnation, you devour living beings, using flesh and blood to sacrifice to the five viscera. You use Essence Yuan to transform it into Demon Blood, bathing your body, forging a demonic physique, and casting demonic bones, to claim the supreme position of the Demon Emperor.]

[Immortal Demon Eighth Transformation]

[Remaining demonic lifespan: 7,573 years]

The transformation process, which had been repeated many times, was now so well-practiced that it had become second nature, yet another mishap had occurred.

Shen Yi's heart skipped a beat; he distinctly felt a sudden surge of murderous intent flooding his mind. Fortunately, his divine sense had been tempered and was much stronger and more resilient than before, so it wasn't too heavily affected.

He continued to harness the demonic lifespan to resolve the issue once and for all.

Another 900-plus years were consumed.

At last, he used his sheer willpower to completely erase the consciousness of the demon beast.

It's really back to square one...most of the lifespan he obtained from the little Demon King was almost entirely spent on it.

"So what exactly is its divine skill?"

Shen Yi watched the prompts on the panel. Devouring living beings? Which demon did not consume humans?

With the help of his divine sense, he quickly regained control over his greatly enhanced body. If it were to be reflected in the Bronze Mirror again, handling it would likely be much easier.

He stood up, suddenly remembering something.

He slapped the silver bell with his hand.

Suddenly, the corpse of a huge White Deer appeared in the room.

Originally, he had wanted to try it with the little Demon King, but it was simply too big to fit in the courtyard.

Shen Yi stared at the White Deer on the ground and then instinctively opened his mouth.

In the next moment, the White Deer at the Embrace Pill Realm rapidly withered away, its flesh and blood transforming into a crimson liquid that quickly solidified. Shortly after, it turned into a blood drop the size of a fingertip and flew into his mouth.

Savoring the fishy sweet taste that filled his mouth.

Shen Yi sank into his inner vision.

As expected, the blood droplet at this moment was suspended above the sea of qi, changing from its original scarlet color to pitch black at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Forge the demon body, cast the devil bones?

According to the description of the Divine Skills, this thing should be used to temper the viscera and bones.

But Shen Yi did not do so, as the little Demon King's body, although robust and sturdy, had nothing particularly stunning compared to other demons.

At this moment, he distinctly felt a very familiar taste in this Demon Blood... wasn't this just liquid Demon Core?

The spiritual energy of nature is absorbed by demons and transformed into the Demon Core, which also nourishes their bodies, but just eating demon flesh cannot strip it away.

The Divine Skills of this little Demon King are a means to convert a portion of spiritual energy for their own use.

Transform Blood Demon Ox, so that's what it means.

No wonder it could reach such a cultivation level in just over nine hundred years.

One should know that the laws of this world are impartial.

Ordinary citizens, though they do not practice cultivation methods, also have spiritual energy in their bodies, albeit incredibly faint, but they are numerous, and while other demons also eat humans, they cannot absorb it all without any loss like this.

Just imagine if the little Demon King had taken over Qingzhou, devouring one city after another; the rate of growth would be unimaginable.

Shen Yi reopened his panel.

His Dao Fetus was already very close to breaking through to the Dao Infant, and he was worrying about where to find a Demon Core, which was like someone bringing a pillow to him when he felt sleepy.

Based on appearance alone, this drop of Demon Blood was no less powerful than the Demon Core of the White Deer.

[In the first year, you absorb the Demon Blood, beginning the attempt to condense a Dao Infant...]

Last time, with the Demon Core of the Old Jiaolong, he had already pushed the progress to the last step, and the consciousness within the Dao Fetus had been tamed and put in order.

This drop of Demon Blood merged into the Dao Fetus.

It opened its eyes and slowly tore the blood strings that connected it, then proceeded to sit upright, crossing its legs and stacking palms in front of its abdomen.

With this step, the Dao Infant also completed its ultimate mission.

Shen Yi's vigorous consciousness flooded in, seizing its last wisp of consciousness, then forcefully fused with it.

[In the three hundred and twentieth year, you have successfully condensed the Dao Infant and gained control over it]

[Heaven-Devouring Elixir Devouring Technique perfected]

[Remaining lifespan of the demons: Six thousand three hundred and twenty-three years]

In an instant, Shen Yi felt as if he possessed two bodies, with one pair of eyes seeing the ordinary interior of the house.

When he closed them and then reopened them, the scene in front of him changed dramatically.

Within the hazy and distorted vision lay a dark prison without daylight, the veins shining with red light extending overhead, causing an oppressive and suffocating sensation.

Under that intense stifling feeling, Shen Yi hurriedly removed the oppressive power of the Sun Melting Furnace, which brought some relief.

He stood up, trying to knock on the semi-transparent wall.

Thump thump.

Then he attempted to punch and kick it for a while, but he found that the wall was even tougher than he had imagined.

"Breaking this inner core, would that mean reaching the Primordial Realm?"

The Heaven-Devouring Elixir Technique had already been cultivated to its limit; the next step would be simply accumulating power.

Shen Yi's consciousness returned to his own body.

Accumulating power wasn't exactly a big issue; feeding more would do, but he just suddenly recalled a problem.

Nurturing both the Dao Infant and the Yin God concurrently.

If the Dao Infant shattered the inner core... the Yin God was still in its seed stage, would it die outright? Read the latest on My Virtual Library Empire
