Ju Yin and Ji Wuye smelled a foul odor as soon as they entered the cave entrance and quickly cast a barrier on themselves to isolate the smell. The roars of the异兽王 (Yi Shou Wang) could be heard from outside, clearly indicating it was severely injured. The further they walked, the dimmer the light became, and the sounds from behind grew fainter. The cave was very deep, with smooth walls that didn't seem to have been recently excavated. Ju Yin took out a night-blooming pearl and walked ahead. Both were on alert. They had both tried earlier, but their divine senses were blocked here, making it impossible to see what lay in the depths of the cave.
The 异兽王 (Yi Shou Wang) outside saw the small humans enter its cave. Ignoring its body, which was charred black by lightning strikes, it forcibly gathered all the demonic energy within itself to go berserk, doubling its size. It opened its massive, blood-dripping maw to devour the other demonic beasts, absorbing their power.
“Young Master Feng, stop it from devouring them; its power is growing,” Qi Mo transmitted to Feng Chu.
Feng Chu had also noticed this. He opened his jade green fan and tossed it into the air, where it transformed into a gigantic fan. Feng Chu quickly formed hand seals, and golden runes from the jade green fan flew into the air in strands, forming a massive binding array that rushed towards the 异兽王 (Yi Shou Wang)!
Heavenly Divine Arts, All Things Are Spirits!
Azure Phoenix Edict, Obey My Commands!
Demonic Binding Technique! Go!
The golden Demonic Binding Array surged towards the 异兽王 (Yi Shou Wang). The 异兽王 (Yi Shou Wang) sensed a fatal danger and dropped the demonic beast in its mouth, trying to escape. Unfortunately, any demonic creature locked onto by the Demonic Binding Technique would be drawn into the array, no matter how far it fled.
After a burst of golden light, the 异兽王 (Yi Shou Wang) was bound by golden runes and pulled into the array. The 异兽王 (Yi Shou Wang) let out horrific roars, its cries becoming increasingly weak until it finally fell silent, turning into a pool of blood.
After completing the spell, Feng Chu suddenly coughed up blood from the corner of his mouth. Qi Mo was startled and transformed into human form, flying onto the giant fan.
“Young Master Feng, what’s wrong?” Qi Mo asked urgently, supporting Feng Chu, who was about to collapse. He had just been shocked by the array, which seemed to wield the power of heaven and earth. He hadn't expected Young Master Feng to be so deeply hidden in his abilities!
“It’s nothing, just insufficient celestial spiritual energy. After I rest for a while and replenish my celestial spiritual energy, I’ll be fine!” Feng Chu could only cast this Demonic Binding Technique after cultivating celestial spiritual energy. Ordinary spiritual energy was insufficient. He recalled fighting in the demonic realm with the Divine Venerable in his previous life, where the power of this Demonic Binding Technique was even greater, capable of drawing tens of thousands of demonic creatures into the array. Now, suffering a backlash from a mere insignificant demon king was truly embarrassing! httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
The leaderless demonic beasts, sensing the absence of their king, were thrown into a panic and scattered in all directions! Some of the more intelligent demonic beasts turned and flew into the white mist, hiding themselves. Xiao Bai and Xiao Wangyou did not pursue them. Seeing Feng Chu injured, they both flew to the giant fan with concern.
“Brother Feng, are you alright? Here, this is a healing medicine A You recently concocted with celestial spiritual grass and spiritual plants gathered from the valley. It can quickly replenish your body’s celestial spiritual energy!” Xiao Bai pulled out a pill and gave it to Feng Chu.
“Thank you, Hu Hu!” Feng Chu swallowed the pill and recovered after a period of adjustment.
“Where did Sister go? Let’s go find her. There are no more demonic beasts here; they’ve all hidden in the clouds,” Xiao Bai asked anxiously, having not noticed Ju Yin’s movements while fighting monsters. Now that she saw Ju Yin was missing, she rushed to ask.
“Hu Hu, don’t worry. The Venerable Master has entered that 异兽王 (Yi Shou Wang)’s cave. We’ll go now too.” After Feng Chu retracted his jade green fan, the group flew towards the cave entrance.
Ju Yin and Ji Wuye had already ventured deep into the cave. The edge of the cave was a cliff, and below the cliff was a deep pool. In the center of the deep pool floated a purple-black stone, about the size of a water vat, emitting a faint purple glow. Demonic spiritual energy coiled around it, exuding a strange aura. The celestial spiritual energy within their bodies spontaneously circulated from their dan tian through their meridians, protecting them and isolating them from the demonic spiritual energy.
Ju Yin gasped. How could there be such a supreme treasure of the demonic realm, the Purple Gold Demonic Stone, here? This Purple Gold Demonic Stone would erode any living being with its demonic energy upon proximity, turning them into demonic creatures with immense demonic power. No demonic beast or monster could resist its allure. They would be tempted to absorb more demonic power until their minds were controlled by the demonic stone, turning them into mindless creatures that only knew how to kill and devour. In the demonic realm, only the Demon Lord could control the demonic stone. In the past, the Demon Lord had used the demonic stone to create a massive army for the demonic realm, initiating the war a million years ago…
Ju Yin pulled Ji Wuye, preventing him from getting too close. As the Divine Venerable, she had never seen this demonic stone before, only in paintings and books where its horror was described.
“Brother, calm your mind and spirit, maintain clarity!” Ju Yin felt the evil of the demonic stone and quickly cautioned her brother.
“Sister, what is this?” Ji Wuye had felt the evil of the demonic stone hovering above the pool since entering, its aura similar to the 异兽王 (Yi Shou Wang). After following his sister’s instructions, he asked out of curiosity.
“A supreme treasure of the demonic realm, the Purple Gold Demonic Stone!” Ju Yin looked at the demonic stone, unsure of what to do. Her current celestial spiritual energy was insufficient to seal this demonic stone. In fact, it might even backfire. However, leaving it unchecked was even worse, as it could create demonic creatures, turning this secret realm into a domain for them. Now Ju Yin understood why the valley had a barrier. Celestial spiritual energy and demonic spiritual energy were inherently incompatible, like water and fire. They naturally formed a celestial spiritual energy barrier to isolate the demonic spiritual energy.
“True demonic spiritual energy does not corrupt everything, but after being absorbed by demonic beasts, it becomes evil demonic energy that can corrode all! Although the demonic spiritual energy emanating from the cave can bewitch people, it will not corrode upon contact. Brother, be careful not to be bewitched!” Ju Yin informed Ji Wuye about the origin of the demonic stone, fearing he might not be able to withstand it and maintain his clarity.
“Sister, I found you! What are you and Brother Wuye looking at?” Xiao Bai shouted with joy as soon as she saw Ju Yin.
Ju Yin turned around and saw Feng Chu and the others. She looked at them with concern, noticing the bloodstain on Feng Chu’s lips and asking what had happened.
“Feng Chu, what’s wrong? Are you injured?”
“It’s nothing, just spiritual energy backlash!” Feng Chu felt gratified by Ju Yin’s concerned gaze, finding the current Divine Venerable to be more humane. In the past, she would have coldly thrown him a healing pill and mockingly called him useless!
“Sister, you didn’t even ask about me?” Xiao Bai pouted in protest, seeing her sister only paying attention to others.
Ju Yin pulled Xiao Bai over. “Sister knows Hu Hu is amazing and is about to achieve nine tails! Truly the most divine beast under heaven!” Ju Yin soothed Xiao Bai, stroking her head, and then cautioned them.
The group listened seriously and only then noticed the demonic stone suspended over the pool. They all held their ground and maintained clarity, looking at the demonic stone radiating demonic spiritual energy. The pool was quite a distance away, so Ju Yin and the others, standing on the cliff, would be less affected by the demonic spiritual energy. The celestial spiritual energy automatically protected their bodies the moment it encountered the demonic spiritual energy.
Feng Chu was also shocked when he saw the demonic stone. Wasn't that treasure something the Demon Lord slept on? How could it be left here? What conspiracy was at play? This demonic stone had immense attraction for demonic beasts. If it appeared on the Tian Chen Continent, the consequences would be unimaginable!
