Becoming a true immortal through my descendents' praying

Yang Fuqing comforted, "Father, the young people who could move have already gone to the Fierce Sun Dynasty for refuge in the early years, preserving the incense of our mortal lineage in the Danai Dynasty. Once the Demon Clan is suppressed... everything will be fine."

"Alas..."

Yang Shi sighed deeply. Nowadays, the Human Clan cultivators are all huddling in Bright City, and how could he help all the mortals in the world.

This is a catastrophe.

After leaving Yang Fuqing, Yang Shi walked to a secluded place and quietly communicated with Yang Genshuo.

"Ancestor... I have a request."

"Speak."

"I wish to borrow Zheng'er's talent once more."

Yang Genshuo's eyes narrowed, "You plan to... absorb that Night Demon corpse?"

"Yes! Ancestor, I need to become strong enough to protect everyone... the Demon Clan has already formed a climate, they won't wait for us peacefully, and to be honest... I don't want to put all my hopes on the Upper Sect's intervention."

Yang Shi felt his strength waning, so he needed to absorb once again to enhance his power.

Especially last year's defeat, which dealt a serious blow to Yang Shi.

He knew that even with two top-notch Spiritual Artifacts as magical treasures, he himself was not a match for the Golden Core Late Stage Demon Clan, that Flood Dragon Demon... was too strong.

Strong to the point that he felt powerless.

"All gifts are secretly marked with a price... this power is not without cost."

Last time, Yang Shi absorbed a Golden Core Demon Clan corpse and lost 10 points of Qi Fortune.

"Ancestor, no matter the cost... I am willing to bear it."

Ever since the battle ten years ago, although Ding Zhen was not injured, his Dao Heart developed issues, and to improve his strength, he has been secluded for ten years without emerging.

Now Yang Shi has grasped both military and political power, officially becoming the top leader of the entire Dynasty. He not only represents the highest combat power of the Danai Dynasty but also a benchmark.

The faith of all cultivators.

Yang Shi knows that he absolutely must not fall!

If he fails, it would be a huge blow to the entire Bright City.

At this moment, morale is paramount!

After a long contemplation, Yang Genshuo...

"Alright, I will cast the magic for you once more..."

To seek benevolence and obtain benevolence.

Yang Genshuo fulfilled Yang Shi's wish.

If he were to powerlessly watch everything, it would be a sorrow for Yang Shi.

Yang Shi is the kind of person who would rather die on the battlefield than hide in the rear.

Glancing at the incense accumulated over the years.

[Incense: 22105]

Already accumulated 22,000!

"Originally, it was only 20,000, Yang Fu's continuous promotions after coming out of seclusion added nearly 2,000 incense, still considered ample."

At least borrowing the [Corpse Retriever (Immortal Level)] talent once won't hurt much.

As long as it's five figures of incense, Yang Genshuo feels secure.

[Borrowing Yang Qiangzheng's talent 'Corpse Retriever', Incense -1000.]

A ray of golden light shot from Yang Qiangzheng onto Yang Shi.

Yang Shi's hand emitted a brilliant green light.

That feeling of devouring all things, came.

Yang Shi walked into the courtyard behind the Yang Family Ancestral Hall, infused True Qi into his two fingers, the ground split open, revealing three crystal coffins hidden inside, containing the corpses of three Night Demons.

Their strengths were respectively 2 at the Golden Core Seventh Layer and 1 at the Golden Core Fifth Layer.

Yang Shi used the crystal coffins to lock the corpses' magic power within, preserving them from decay for a millennium, still the same as ten years ago.

He looked at the Night Demon Leader at the Golden Core Seventh Layer, hand uncontrollably wanting to devour.

"Absorb the one at Golden Core Fifth Layer, otherwise... it will be dangerous."

Yang Qiangzheng's ability is not invincible; it almost killed him back then.

Absorbing those with too large a power gap poses a life risk.

After absorbing the Poison Scorpion Demon last time, Yang Shi forcibly elevated from Great Perfection of the Divinity Realm to a physique comparable to the Nirvana Realm, even gaining an extra Demon Clan scorpion tail to use.

Now, absorbing a Night Demon at the Golden Core Fifth Layer, Yang Genshuo feels Yang Shi's physical body is nearly at its limit.

"Mm!"

Yang Shi suppressed the greed in his heart and reached into the crystal coffin of the Night Demon at the Golden Core Fifth Layer.

Buzz!

From Yang Shi's hand erupted a strange green light; a strong suction spread from his hand, melting the well-preserved Night Demon corpse into pure Blood Qi and Magic Power, sucking it into his body.

Boom!

Immense Demonic Qi enveloped Yang Shi.

"Ah!!!"

Yang Shi let out a muffled roar, his eyes bloodshot, as countless illusions swirled in his mind, with an enormous amount of flesh stretching his body into a gigantic fat figure.

The chaos of the Demon Clan made Yang Shi feel boundless emptiness and agony.

"Yang Shi, hold on to your true self!"

[Blessings: Calming Heart]

A beam of golden light descended from the sky, clearing Yang Shi's eyes a little, as he clenched his teeth with all his willpower.

"Ancestor, I... can do it!"

Finally, a Demon Pill emerged from the body of a Night Demon, slowly flying into Yang Shi's palm.

Boom!

A shadow of a Night Demon appeared, its face twisted with rage!

"My body... you're eating my body, you truly walk the Demon Path! The Night Demon Clan will hunt you down to death!!!"

"Noisy!"

Yang Shi swallowed the shadow of the Night Demon in one gulp, refining it instantly!

Having chosen this path, he cared for nothing else.

Demon Path or Righteous, whatever makes me stronger is the path I will take!

Yang Shi's willpower was extremely tenacious, enduring immense pain to complete this absorption.

Just as he was barely catching his breath...

A mass of red thunderclouds gathered in the sky.

Yang Shi's eyelid twitched suddenly.

"Xiao Yi, protect me!"

[Myriad Transformation Spirit Clothes] emerged from within his body, simultaneously with the appearance of the Artifact Spirit, instantly casting multiple Defense Techniques, forming layers of protective shields in front of Yang Shi's body.

Boom!!!

A red Divine Thunder, thick as a manhole cover, struck down towards Yang Shi!

Crack crack crack~

The layers of protective shields shattered, finally landing on Yang Shi's [Myriad Transformation Spirit Clothes], absorbing half of the Heavenly Tribulation's power...

Yet Yang Shi was still struck, smashing into the ground!

In the Yang Family Ancestral Hall, a deep pit appeared...

"Hey~ Sister! Look, lightning is striking over there in the city, I wonder who's so unlucky, won't they be struck?"

The 19-year-old Yang Qiangzheng called out.

Having come of age, Yang Qiangzheng had his own residence, but he was assigned to the outskirts of Bright City, where it was sparsely populated... especially after news of his arrival, cultivators had entirely turned this area into a forbidden zone.

"According to the 'Survey of Heavenly Mechanisms', red Divine Thunder... symbolizes divine punishment, someone has violated the Heavenly Dao... and it's in our city, in that direction... not good!"

Yang Qiangjing closed the book, her brows lightly furrowed, with a puzzled look in her eyes.

"Our Yang Family is meant to be a house of accumulated good deeds, it shouldn't be like this..."

The 19-year-old girl, in her prime, Yang Qiangjing inherited her father Yang Fujian's heroism and her mother Tan Xue's ethereal charm, her skin was as delicate as snow, her eyes clear as water, and her every move carried an ethereal, otherworldly quality, leaving a lasting impression on all who saw her.

After she came of age, the door to the Yang Family received countless suitors.

She was hailed as the number one celestial maiden of Bright City.

In contrast, Yang Qiangzheng, who had been weak and sickly since childhood, had an ordinary appearance after coming of age and was short, only 1.6 meters, shorter than Yang Qiangjing by a head.

And as he aged, his misfortune grew stronger, increasingly affecting those around him, he had no friends or servants, only a sister who stayed by his side.

But it was because of Yang Qiangjing's high talent, rapidly improving strength, and years of cultivation together, she had developed an extremely sharp Divine Sense, any slight movement couldn't escape her notice, avoiding many misfortunes.

"Goodness, there's also black Qi erupting... could it be that the Demon Clan has invaded?"

Yang Qiangzheng saw wisps of Demonic Qi dissipating.

Yang Qiangjing pondered briefly.

"I understand now... Grandfather ultimately used the three buried bodies of the Demon Clan."

"Hmm? Can they be absorbed now? Then I'll go absorb one too!"

Yang Qiangzheng was eager, he had long been salivating over them.
