Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Placing the Demon Seed into the Asura Demon Core is intended to minimize the harm the Demon Seed causes to the body.

After all, the Asura Demon Core is also the energy core of the Demon Clan, making it quite compatible with the Demon Seed.

This is certainly quite simple.

The difficult part is swallowing it.

Ling Xiao gritted his teeth and directly stuffed the Asura Demon Core with the Demon Seed into his mouth and swallowed it.

”Ah—!”

The moment the Asura Demon Core went down, Ling Xiao felt as if his body was being corroded by a terrible poison, causing cold sweat to pour from his forehead. He couldn’t help but let out a loud, miserable scream.

His face turned extremely pale in that moment.

”Endure it!”

Ling Xiao encouraged himself in his heart.

He peered into his soul and found that the Asura Demon Core started to act frantically once it entered his body.

It was like a terrifying beast clashing between his meridians and internal organs.

Every clash made him suffer unbearable pain.

Although his body was protected by the Seal Demon Inscriptions, he still felt immense agony.

Under the torment of the Asura Demon Core, Ling Xiao’s internal organs and meridians were completely rearranged, twisted into a mess, and even a large number of cells were corroded and shattered.

An ordinary person would likely have died by now.

But Ling Xiao possessed the Body of the Mystic Realm.

While being destroyed, he constantly repaired himself.

Thus, he was not dead yet, but the torment he was enduring truly made life seem worse than death.

Unable to sit still any longer, he started rolling and colliding on the ground.

Attempting to alleviate the intense pain within his body.

”Don’t be afraid of the pain. This is the best outcome. With the Asura Demon Core present, it shouldn’t kill you. Now try to control it!”

Yuan Venerate encouraged Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao got up from the ground. Even though his face was pale and drenched in sweat, he forced himself to sit down while enduring the immense pain.

Inside his cells, the Imperial Heaven Earth Power surged fiercely, completely enveloping the Asura Demon Core.

”Stop it, you wild horse!”

At this moment, Ling Xiao was like a person taming a talented yet bad-tempered wild horse.

He persistently tried.

Attempted but was broken free.

Yet he refused to give up.

He could suppress the Devil Intent, and he wouldn’t let the Demon Seed slip away.

Once!

Twice!

Thrice!

...

After countless failures, Ling Xiao felt more proficient in controlling the Imperial Heaven Earth Power.

And due to the constant absorption of nature’s spiritual energy, this Imperial Heaven Earth Power became much stronger.

Finally forming a barrier of Imperial Heaven Earth Power around the Asura Demon Core.

Ling Xiao then slowly extracted the power of the Demon Seed using the Imperial Heaven Earth Power, directing it to flow slowly through his meridians.

The wild horse gradually became obedient.

”Did it succeed?”

Yuan Venerate’s mood gradually calmed down.

Ling Xiao at this moment could truly be described as having a body covered in wounds.

From head to toe, he had been corroded beyond recognition by the dreadful Demon Seed.

To survive and maintain a human form was truly a stroke of fortune.

”What a terrifying little fellow, I even prepared to sacrifice my soul to save you once. I didn’t expect you to truly succeed and withstand the terrible torment of the Demon Seed.

To endure such pain, your future is indeed limitless.”

Yuan Venerate was truly grateful to have taken on such a disciple; otherwise, he’d have missed witnessing such a remarkable scene.

He originally had little hope for revenge, given that his enemy was the fearsome King of Sovereigns.

But today, witnessing Ling Xiao sustaining such cruel conditions sparked a flame of hope within him.

The previously noisy hall became quiet.

The Nine Heavens Palace expert led the now-awakened Leng Mei to the third level.

They didn’t see Ling Xiao, but instead saw something resembling an egg suspended in mid-air.

However, the egg was entirely black, continuously releasing dreadful Demonic Annihilation Aura, making everyone uneasy.

”Senior, is that my master?”

Leng Mei asked, puzzled.

”You’re asking me? I don’t know either. This kid went crazy, trying to use the Nine Heavens Demonic Seal to seal the Night Demon King, but I’ve read that book and it doesn’t describe such a situation.

It seems your young master has failed, completely enshrouded by Devil Intent, unable to return to his original form.”

The Nine Heavens Palace expert sighed and said, ”Forget it, I’ll send him off. Since he can’t defeat Devil Intent, I’ll kill him before he completely transforms into a demon.”

As she spoke, she approached the gigantic black egg-shaped object.

Intending to destroy this egg-shaped object directly.

She believed Ling Xiao would agree with her decision, as that young man would not hope to be transformed into a demon.

Entering Demonic Ways was unavoidable.

But becoming a puppet completely toyed by Devil Intent, Ling Xiao would surely be unwilling.

Yet, just as the Nine Heavens Palace expert was about to act, cracks began appearing on the previously quiet eggshell.

Though some Demonic Qi was released from those cracks, more of it was nature’s spiritual energy.

This released aura expanded the cracks wider and wider.

The Nine Heavens Palace expert hesitated for a moment, then stopped her actions.

But inside, she was shocked beyond belief.

When Ling Xiao first came here, his cultivation level was at the Life-taking Realm sixteenth level, but his realm had since advanced significantly, directly reaching Life-taking Realm eighteenth level, just one step from the Reincarnation Realm.

Although strange, this aura was indeed Ling Xiao’s and not the Night Demon King’s.

”Could it really be that this kid successfully sealed the Night Demon King? Not only that, but also upgraded his cultivation level?”

The Nine Heavens Palace expert shook her head with a bitter smile.

Although the madman’s actions were mad enough, he did finally gamble correctly.

Knowing that the last three realms in the Life-taking Realm progress slowly, needing ample energy for advancement.

This is why Ling Xiao’s cultivation level remained at the Life-taking Realm sixteenth level for so long.

But now, his cultivation broke through, reaching Life-taking Realm eighteenth level, skipping over the two most difficult realms.

”Senior, is my master alright?”

Leng Mei cautiously asked.

”Rest assured, he’s probably fine now.”

The Nine Heavens Palace expert nodded, ”It seems I underestimated your master. Not only was he not consumed by Devil Intent, but he also leveraged Devil Intent to break through his cultivation level.”

Actually, what she didn’t know was that Ling Xiao’s greatest gain wasn’t his cultivation upgrade; it was reaching the thirteenth stage of the Mystery of the Shadow.

By integrating the Night Demon King’s power into the Mystery of the Shadow, he learned the technique ”Night Demon Flower.”

The Black Night Demon Flower, beautiful and alluring, instantly releasing terrifying energy that even Reincarnation Realm Martial Artists feared confronting directly.

Of course, the Night Demon Flower’s power wasn’t fully utilized yet; as Ling Xiao’s cultivation increased, the Night Demon Flower would become even more terrifying.
