Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

Master Qingyun let out a deep sigh, "It's bad, everyone saw the scene where the tower master was gravely injured! People's hearts are uneasy!"

If Fairy Bai Rui was unharmed, naturally everyone's resolve would be steady, and they would unite to resist the demons. However, after she was severely injured by the Great Commander Yuanyuan, Hundred Flowers Tower's morale plummeted, and they were headless. Many Nascent Soul Cultivators were worried about the future of Hundred Flowers Tower.

Zhao Yu said, "Master Qingyun, do you have any Ancient Demon Corpses in your possession? I plan to refine a Magic Artifact that restrains the Demonic Path and I need a large amount of Ancient Demon Corpses."

Master Qingyun said, "I have two Nascent Soul Level Ancient Demon Corpses in my possession, what will you trade for them?"

Zhao Yu smiled slightly, "How about a bottle of Superior Grade Spirit Pill that can enhance the spiritual power of early-stage Nascent Souls?"

Master Qingyun's eyes lit up, "Deal!"

Those Spirit Pills that could enhance Nascent Soul Spiritual Power were also numerous within Hundred Flowers Tower, but these Spirit Pills were equally rare treasures that required Nascent Soul Cultivators to perform great deeds or find various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to exchange for them.

To Master Qingyun, a Nascent Soul Cultivator, those Nascent Soul Level Ancient Demon Corpses were somewhat superfluous, as he did not practice Demonic Cultivation Techniques nor did he refine Demonic Path Magic Artifacts. Holding onto them was useless, and they could only be used for bartering.

Many Nascent Soul Cultivators within Hundred Flowers Tower had one or two Nascent Soul Level Ancient Demon Corpses. Zhao Yu took out various Superior Grade Spirit Pills that could enhance Nascent Soul Spiritual Power and exchanged them for many Nascent Soul Level Ancient Demon Corpses all at once.

After obtaining those Nascent Soul Level Ancient Demon Corpses, Zhao Yu returned to his cave mansion and activated the Dao Fruit to help the Eagle Demon Emperor assimilate the Ancient Demon Corpses to increase its Cultivation Level.

A month later, inside the Quiet Room of Zhao Yu's cave mansion.

"The Eagle Demon Emperor is about to break through and ascend to Fourth-Order Superior!"

Zhao Yu, seeing the Eagle Demon Emperor's body surging with Demonic Qi, his eyes lit up. He promptly collected it and turned into an Escape Light, flying out from Primordial Spirit Immortal City and arriving at a secluded location.

Another ten days passed, and a terrifying demonic presence of Fourth-Order Superior Level burst forth from that secluded place.

Zhao Yu laughed heartily, "Finally advanced to Fourth-Order Superior! An Ancient Demon nurtured from a Divinity Transformation Great Demon is indeed extraordinary!"

"If I can purchase all the Nascent Soul Level Ancient Demon Corpses from the six other Great Sects, perhaps the Eagle Demon Emperor can smoothly ascend to become a Divinity Transformation Ancient Demon."

The moment Zhao Yu thought of the Eagle Demon Emperor ascending to become a Divinity Transformation Ancient Demon, his heart grew hot.

If the Eagle Demon Emperor could ascend to become a Divinity Transformation Ancient Demon, even if this world fell into demonic lands, with its power, Zhao Yu and his companions' safety could be maintained.

Whether the Spirit Realm or Demon Realm emerged victorious in the struggle, Zhao Yu would be able to stand on invincible ground.

Zhao Yu collected the Eagle Demon Emperor and turned into an Escape Light, flying back to Hundred Flowers Tower and went straight to Master Qingyun.

Zhao Yu said, "Master Qingyun, I wish to purchase Nascent Soul Level Ancient Demon Corpses from the Nascent Soul Cultivators of the six sects; do you have any connections? For every transaction of a Nascent Soul Ancient Demon Corpse, I will grant you a Superior Grade Spirit Pill that enhances Nascent Soul Spiritual Power."

Zhao Yu's time in Hundred Flowers Tower was too short; he hadn't even become acquainted with all the Nascent Souls there. Master Qingyun, on the other hand, was a Nascent Soul elder who had lived for hundreds of years in the Great Chu Empire and was cheerful and passionate with a wide circle of friends across all six sects.

Master Qingyun's eyes brightened, "Leave it to me!"

Zhao Yu's Alchemy was ranked among the best in a Cultivation Holy Land like the Great Chu Empire. The Superior Grade Elixirs he refined were also extremely effective. After using one, True Lord Qingyun could feel the exceptionality of the Elixir and was naturally willing to help Zhao Yu.

With the help of True Lord Qingyun, Zhao Yu quickly exchanged Superior Grade Elixirs with the Nascent Soul Cultivators of the six major factions for a good number of Ancient Demon Corpses. The reputation of the Elixirs refined by Zhao Yu soon spread far and wide, and more Nascent Soul Cultivators took the initiative to contact True Lord Qingyun to exchange their Ancient Demon Corpses for his Elixirs.

After the joint expedition of the seven great sects against the Myriad Changes Demon Sect failed, the prices of various resources that could enhance battle power, such as Elixirs, Magic Artifacts, and Talismans, soared. In the past, those Nascent Soul Cultivators would not easily part with Nascent Soul Level Ancient Demon Corpses unless they could exchange them for treasures they highly desired, preferring to let them rot in their hands. But now, they all just wanted to trade for treasures that could enhance their Cultivation Levels or combat power.

After obtaining those Ancient Demon Corpses, Zhao Yu promptly used the Dao Fruit's devouring power to help the Eagle Demon Emperor directly absorb them.

One year later, within the borders of the Great Qian Empire, at the site of the former Mountain Sect.

The Eagle Demon Emperor turned into a stream of Devil Light and flew above the Mountain Sect ruins. A towering Demonic Qi surged to the heavens as he called out from above, "Fellow Daoist of this mountain, show yourself!"

A giant ancient demon standing two Zhang tall, bursting with muscles, sporting a ferocious pig's head, with a green face and fangs, exuding a Fourth Order Low Grade terrifying Demonic Qi, flew out. He spoke with a hint of respect, "I am Pig Scale Art, a member of the Pig Scale Clan. May I know your origins, sir?"

"I am the Eagle Demon Emperor! I have taken a fancy to this place, hence, I shall borrow your head!"

The Eagle Demon Emperor let out a sinister smile. His wings shook, and his body was enveloped in pitch-black Devil Light in an instant. It was as though he teleported, appearing in front of Pig Scale Art. With a swipe of his claw, he instantly plucked off Pig Scale Art's head.

Among the four most powerful fighters under Zhao Yu's command, the Eagle Demon Emperor was the fastest. Even a Fourth Order ancient demon, if they lost focus for just a moment, could be instantly slain by it.

"The great king is dead!!"

". . . ."

Seeing this scene, the numerous Demon Race members who occupied the mountain dispersed like birds and beasts.

The Eagle Demon Emperor turned into Escape Light and flew into the cave mansion where Zhao Yu once lived. At its side, an invisible transparent sheet was lifted, revealing the figure of Zhao Yu.

"A perfectly good cave mansion, ruined into a den of demons!!"

Seeing his former cave mansion scattered with human bones and filled with waves of foul stench, Zhao Yu sighed slightly and directly applied the Cleansing Technique. He purified the foul air in the cave mansion, then left the three powerful beings—Red Emperor, White Ghost Emperor, and Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor—to guard the place, and entered the Quiet Room with the Eagle Demon Emperor.

As soon as the Eagle Demon Emperor arrived in the Quiet Room, he took out the freshly killed Pig Scale Art, opened his bloody maw, and swallowed him down in two or three bites. Then, under the power of the Dao Fruit activated by Zhao Yu, he began to refine the ancient demon.

Seven days later, an eruption of God Transformation Level terrifying Demonic Qi surged into the skies above the Mountain Sect ruins.

Inside the Quiet Room.

The Eagle Demon Emperor's stature suddenly grew to three Zhang tall, his body covered in a layer of pitch-black Demon Scales, each scale imprinted with bizarre Demonic Patterns. His bat wings had evolved into a pair of dragon wings. His eagle head was still the same, but now it was filled with sharp teeth, and his tail resembled a sharp spear exuding a ferocious and savage aura.

A gleam of fervor flashed in Zhao Yu's eyes, "The Eagle Demon Emperor has finally ascended to a Divinity Transformation ancient demon! Its aura is more than twice as strong as that of Ying Jue's bone-chilling spirit! It could face three Divinity Transformation ancient demons alone. However, if it encounters the Great Commander Yuanyuan, it would still be no match. But without a magical treasure, even the Great Commander Yuanyuan would most likely not be able to catch up to it!"
