Starting Cultivation During a Trip

In an instant, the moonlight behind him seemed to shatter. In a trance, a phantom appeared, the black rat transformed into a demon, its giant tail like a python, emitting a terrifying aura.

”You...”

Seeing this scene, Shi Shougong and Su Shiyu’s expressions changed drastically. They were demons, and their sensing of their kind was naturally the strongest and most sensitive.

Suddnely, black clouds rose from the moon, only then did they realize a great demon had come in the mountain.

This kind of phenomenon oppressed the Primordial Spirit with overwhelming might, causing the three souls and seven spirits to shudder. Whether it was Shi Shougong or Su Shiyu, their faces became unusually grave.

There was no doubt that the man standing in front of them was not just a demon, but a great demon from the mountain. Otherwise, he wouldn’t cause them to feel so fearful and unsettled just with his aura.

”So it’s you,” Zhang Fan recalled.

That day, at Jifeng Pavilion, Muo Yun wandered into the Deserted Mountain. He went into the mountain to search for someone and encountered a black rat that had turned into a demon.

However, that day, the black rat fought him with its true body. But today, it had changed and taken on a human form.

”Finally remembered,” Black Nightmare sneered coldly.

”Of course, I remember. What was your name again, Black something?” Zhang Fan whispered softly.

This black rat’s demon techniques were profound, and its cultivation was remarkable; he remembered it clearly.

”Black Nightmare!”

The heavy voice echoed in the cold night, carrying a hint of displeasure.

”Good demon, your tricks are impressive, even finding your way here.”

Zhang Fan’s eyes became focused as he rubbed his palms together.

”Are you here to deliver your head, or for revenge?”

”I’m here to send you to your grave.”

Black Nightmare roared violently, a chaotic wind sprang up, and demon light surged towards the stars.

Shi Shougong and Su Shiyu’s expressions changed drastically, only feeling a foul stench coming at them, making their stomachs churn with a strong urge to vomit, hitting them straight in their heads.

At the same time, Black Nightmare became a phantom and reached Zhang Fan, his five fingers like claws, long nails like hooks, gleaming coldly in the eerie night, aiming for Zhang Fan’s head.

”Celestial Pig, Celestial Pig, Nine Elements Evil Child.”

”Wuding Commander, Gao Diao Bei Weng.”

...

In a flash, Zhang Fan recited the true incantation, the Northern Emperor Technique, Celestial Pig Curse, the blazing True Yang birthed the Miao Fa, red light suddenly appeared, revealing the tusks.

Buzz...

The phantom of red tusks rose from Zhang Fan’s palm like a sharp blade, meeting Black Nightmare’s claws.

Boom...

A loud sound split through the air, and the two figures shook apart, Zhang Fan’s Celestial Pig Fang in his palm shattered into fragments, dissolving into glowing lights and vanishing.

Black Nightmare’s claws were entwined with intense red light, as if engulfed in raging fire, burning his flesh.

His eyes glinted fiercely as he clenched his teeth and let out a cold snort. The demon aura was chilling, cold to the bone, yet he extinguished the raging fire-like red light.

”Indeed, a true Great Demon of the mortal world,” Shi Shougong’s expression changed drastically.

The Daoist Sect has been passing on its techniques for millennia, with the North Celestial Profound Emperor being the top killer.

The Northern Emperor Technique is known as the fiercest of techniques, even though the Celestial Pig Fang is just a small branch technique, it’s not something ordinary demon ghosts can withstand, let alone purely resist with the flesh.

Not to mention, now that Zhang Fan has broken through to High Skill, even during the time in Gusu City, Shi Shougong did not dare to confront such a technique head-on.

”The great demon from the mountain is truly formidable. He has put in a lot of effort on this human body,” Su Shiyu said gravely.

The greatest reliance of a demon is still its true form.

Just like Shi Shougong’s lizard body and Su Shiyu’s python body, they are usually deeply hidden, cultivated, and refined day and night.

Similarly, Black Nightmare’s rat body is extraordinary, its skin and flesh like steel, its giant tail like a long whip, capable of splitting stone and metal.

However, he has also spent a lot of effort on this human body, absorbing countless exotic treasures and great medicine, his demon aura surging to the sky, even able to turn Daoist spell techniques, extremely fierce.

”Young rascal, aren’t you good at fire techniques? Go ahead and use them. Let’s see if you can harm your Grandpa Hei in the slightest bit.”

Black Nightmare’s eyes shone fiercely, full of arrogance.

”As you wish.”

Zhang Fan let out a low growl, forming seals with both hands, muttering incantations.

He exhaled a burst of pure air, the three treasures gathered and separated, the raging nature stirred the fire dragon.

A light of fire rose, glowing with undying brilliance.

Rumble...

The Pill Fire formed into a sword, dancing wildly like a dragon, illuminating the long night.

Shi Shougong and Su Shiyu turned pale, instinctively retreating, for demons, spirits, and ghosts, fear thunder and fire techniques the most.

Heaven’s thunder creates tribulations, earth’s fire turns to kill, able to sweep away all ghostly spirits and demons.

”Brother Fan’s Fire Dragon Pill Sword is becoming increasingly terrifying.”

Shi Shougong’s eyes reflected the brilliant red light, the Dan Fire shifting and converging, resembling a fire dragon, tearing through the sky, shrouding Black Nightmare. The surrounding air seemed to dissolve, with rolling heat waves pressing down, making it difficult for them to breathe.

This power truly makes it a first-class fire technique.

”Good! Good! Good!”

At this moment, Black Nightmare’s eyes, as small as mung bean, radiated a brilliant light. He stood unmoving, facing the surging ”fire dragon” without dodging or avoiding.

Suddenly, he formed seals with both hands, chanting an incantation.

”Heaven protect me, Earth protect me, twelve zodiac protect me, Spirit Official complete protection. Year protect me, day protect me, hour protect me, layers of golden armor complete protection...”

The mysterious sound was grand and majestic, resonating in the deep, dark night. The fire dragon roared, its fire light agitated as if provoked.

”Heavenly fire retreat, earthly fire retreat, nine heavens and six earths, fire retreat, ten thousand fires dissipate the evil spirits, avoid my body, grant absolution...”

With Black Nightmare’s chant, the raging fire dragon suddenly split, dividing into two, eerily avoiding Black Nightmare’s body.

”This is...”

”Daoist Sect’s ancient technique, Fire Avoidance True Technique!?”

Shi Shougong and Su Shiyu exchanged glances, hardly believing it.

They had heard that, in ancient times, the Daoist Sect had an untransmitted secret, known to avoid the five-element calamities.
