I Can Devour Spirits

Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Divine Shadow

Duan Rong sat cross-legged on the black earth within the Sea of Consciousness, with his five hearts facing the sky!

His eyes were tightly shut, and he chanted the spell with a calm mind!

The murmured spell, dense like raindrops, resonated in this ancient and majestic space, like the whispering of divine demons...

As the urgent and dense spell echoed throughout the space...

The swirling thin mist gradually came to a halt...

They stopped swirling...

The still mist began to descend...

The once thin mist began to thicken...

The dense mist became a layer of gray-white, settling on the surface of the black earth...

Duan Rong sat cross-legged within this layer of gray-white dense mist, with only his head exposed, the gray-white mist extending to his neck...

Duan Rong’s face was serene, immersed in a state of bliss...

After the mist settled, this space became exceptionally clear, akin to a world of pure land that had been cleansed...

The sky was like transparent crystal...

After the mist settled, Duan Rong felt his mind become extraordinarily clear, this clarity made his inner heart calm and unmoving, wrapped in a deep sense of joy...

The Fetal Concealment Scripture explicitly warned not to linger in this joy...

At this thought, Duan Rong’s heart was suddenly shaken, instantly waking up!

His brows furrowed slightly, and his hands began forming seals in the gray-white mist, stirring the mist before him into a tumult...

As Duan Rong formed seals, a faint roar sounded from above the sky, echoing distantly...

The roar gradually became clear, like muffled thunder, rolling across the heavens...

As the thunder rolled, Duan Rong’s heart became suddenly purified, as if some hidden subtle thoughts in the depths of his mind were shattered by the roar...

The gray-white mist, which had settled on the surface of the black earth, descended another third of the way, reaching Duan Rong’s chest...

At this moment, four gigantic divine statues appeared, towering in the east, south, west, and north of this world!

The colossal statues stood as towering as mountains, reaching to the sky, sublime and majestic!

The Unmoving Bright King, entirely blue-black, with exposed fangs, held a sword in his right hand and a noose in his left, surrounded by red lotus karmic fire, dyeing the northern sky crimson!

The Vajra Yaksha King had three faces and six arms, with five angry eyes on the front, three eyes on each side face, each of the six arms holding a bow, arrow, sword, wheel, five-pronged pestle, and Vajra bell.

The Walking Vajra King, with a spinning cover in his right hand, a Vajra pestle in his left, entirely blue-green, had hair standing upright, like a racing horse with an erect mane, fierce and bizarre!

The Horse-headed Vajra King, entirely crimson, had three faces and eight arms, three eyes wide open, fangs exposed, hair and beard in red and yellow, presenting the fearless appearance of a lion.

The four divine statues, each different in form, yet all hideously fierce, with hideous faces and wrathful expressions, terrifying to behold!

These four divine statues descended like divine shadows from heaven, with an awe-inspiring momentum, filling this world with an earth-shattering pressure!

Duan Rong sat cross-legged within the mist, feeling a shock of fear as if facing a true god!

But upon closer inspection, the forms of these four divine statues were somewhat blurred, like flowers seen through mist!

It wasn’t that Duan Rong’s painting skills were poor, but transforming from a piece of paper to these colossal divine statues filling the sky, how could they not lose fidelity?

Within the Taiyi Sect, there stands a true Mandala!

Four mountainous divine statues stood towering over heaven and earth!

Within this Mandala, cultivating the Fetal Concealment Scripture is almost like the gods appearing in person; those with weak divine souls could even have their Sea of Consciousness shattered on the spot!

However, at this moment, even these four vaguely shaped divine statues already made Duan Rong feel as if a great mountain was pressing down, somewhat overwhelming!

Unbeknownst to him, he narrowly avoided disaster due to the simplicity of his conditions!

Because his Spiritual Power was too weak!

Even if he constructed a Mandala with four sculptures as tall as him to cultivate the Fetal Concealment Scripture, his level 1 weak divine soul couldn’t bear the momentary pressure when the statues enter the Sea of Consciousness!

Undoubtedly, his Sea of Consciousness would shatter, driving him mad and insane to death!

He used portraits to construct a Mandala, which, although the lowest level of Mandala, remained within his ability to withstand!

Under the pressure of the Four Great Kings, Duan Rong dared not delay; he quickly formed seals and ran the cultivation technique!

With ancient and obscure phonetics, the spell was recited from Duan Rong’s mouth!

Upon uttering the spell, the four gigantic divine statues all shook, and divine light shot out from their eyes, scanning in all directions!

Then, their huge mouths opened wide, akin to a whale drawing in breath!

The descending gray-white mist swirled like a tornado, coiling into a mass that surged skyward, sucked into the vast mouths of the statues!

The gray-white mist entered through the statues’ large mouths, then, shortly after, sprayed out from their nostrils!

The expelled gray-white mist settled anew!

However, several strands, thin as hair, of light strands separated from the gray-white mist ejected from the nostrils!

About half a foot long, these light strands, once separated from the mist, were like living entities, flying towards the firmament...

They spiraled endlessly above the sky, intertwining in all directions...

Duan Rong sat cross-legged beneath the firmament, greatly astonished by this strange spectacle!

Meanwhile, the four divine statues’ large mouths continued to open and close, with gray-white mist spurting from their nostrils!

Batch after batch of light strands peeled away from the gray-white mist, gathering above the firmament!

Gradually, the light strands grew more numerous, eventually merging into a vague and pale light silhouette!

Resembling the outline of a baby!

It curled up as if still in the womb...

The subsequent light strands entirely infused into this vague baby light silhouette’s face, and although its body remained hollow, its face steadily solidified!

Gradually, its facial features began to emerge!

Eyes tightly closed, a small nose and mouth, emitting a milky white halo!

Just as Duan Rong was awestruck, another sudden change occurred!

The milky white baby light silhouette suddenly opened its small mouth, and a wisp of azure light spiraled into it!

Duan Rong’s whole body trembled as he realized the azure light originated from the Tree Spirit Light Sea in the southwest direction of the black earth!

From the area where he devoured eighty-one Tree Spirits, wisps of azure light were peeling away from the Tree Spirit Light Sea, drifting like swimming fish, towards the baby light silhouette above the firmament, entering its tiny mouth...

”What is this...”

The eerie scene before him was absolutely not recorded in the Fetal Concealment Scripture!

After all, the Fetal Concealment Scripture surely wouldn’t discuss Tree Spirits existing in the Sea of Consciousness!

Duan Rong didn’t know what changes this scene would cause!

He even considered stopping the cultivation technique immediately, but he saw as the azure light strands entered the baby light silhouette’s small mouth, its once hollow body rapidly solidified!

The existing light strands within the Tree Spirit Light Sea were evidently far more abundant than the ones painstakingly separated strand by strand from the gray-white mist by the four divine statues!

The baby light silhouette, like a ravenous infant sucking milk, greedily absorbed without pause!

The Tree Spirit Light Sea seemed to evaporate, with each Tree Spirit turning into light strands and vanishing!
