Chapter 434: 201: Human Immortal Dao Body, a shrewd old blood ghost_3 Chapter 434: 201: Human Immortal Dao Body, a shrewd old blood ghost_3 Before this, there had always been something lacking.
Upon detailed analysis, Chen Dengming realized, how had he become so formidable?
It felt somewhat dreamlike and surreal.
Unbeknownst to him, he had actually attained the battle prowess to face off against a Golden Core while he was still at the False Core realm.
When he encountered the Blazing Blood Demon, his heart had pounded unbearably, planning for He Yingyu to escape and preparing to flee himself.
However, had he now treaded on the path of the chosen ones like Demon Star Dongfang Huayuan?
“I have to stay low-profile.
...
The Dao Force is not infinite.
My current strength lies in burst fire, but my endurance is poor…”
Chen Dengming felt that in such a short time, about one-thirtieth of his Dao Force had already been consumed.
In battle, the consumption would be even more severe.
Dao Force was not like Dan Power, which could quickly recover using the method of risking life.
After the Dao Force was consumed, it would need a certain amount of time to slowly recover on its own.
Therefore, if he kept fighting in this state, he could only hold on for a few dozen breaths of time.
However, that would be enough under normal circumstances.
Previously, when he had entered this state and took on the Blazing Blood Demon, it had only happened within a span of a few breaths of time.
“Let’s call this special combat state…Human Immortal Taoist Body…”
“Is the name a bit too flashy?”
“Oh, well…
Once I get more Daoist scripts in the future, I might become even stronger.
Nothing wrong with being a bit flashy.”
Chen Dengming was very satisfied.
He slowly converged his Dao Force back into his sea of consciousness.
Suddenly, his body began to revert to its original size as the power receded, and the abundant power gradually dissipated.
A clear sense of weakness rose, even triggering a desire to eat.
This was not real weakness but a noticeable huge drop resulting from the power’s ebbing.
The reason for the sudden strengthening and changes in his body weight, bones, flesh, and other mass was due to the consumption of Dao Force, which provided energy.
It wouldn’t have become stronger for no reason.
Skills in the Cultivation World, like the Giant Power Skill, Giant Spirit Skill, etc., can make a person grow bigger and stronger, but never had the Dao Force been amplified to such an exaggeration.
After decapitating another Golden Core, he confirmed that he had indeed the ability to defeat an early-stage Golden Core Cultivator.
To say he wasn’t exhilarated or excited would be a lie.
It took a good while for Chen Dengming to finally calm down.
He glanced at his current lifespan.
“Life: 93/585/849”
“The previous fight consumed twenty-one years of my lifespan…
I now have 264 good years left.
I really can’t afford to use such a life-burning method of fighting often.
If I overdo it, even Old Life Star can’t bear it.”
Chen Dengming shook his head with a regretful sigh, feeling a bit pained.
In reality, comparing the gains and risks, the losses and gains were probably just about even.
Considering the Sect contribution, Spirit Crystals, Magic Treasure, and other things gained from this journey, the total might be equivalent to the gains from ten thousand top-grade Spirit Crystals.
If you offered ten thousand top-grade Spirit Crystals to a Nascent Soul old monster in exchange for twenty-one years of life, the old monster would not even look at them.
Only someone like him, who could extend his life by cultivating, would even consider it.
“Time to make up for some of the losses.”
Chen Dengming summoned the Soul Refining Banner, and then called out the imprisoned soul of the Blazing Blood Demon from within the banner.
“Young friend, spare me, spare me!”
As soon as this old demon’s Divine Spirit appeared, he immediately pleaded for mercy.
In terms of admitting defeat, he was the quickest among the enemies Chen Dengming had encountered.
Chen Dengming simply stared at the Blazing Blood Demon floating in front of him and laughed, “How’s that?
Senior, you’re not calling me ‘little devil’ now?”
The Divine Spirit of the Blazing Blood Demon immediately laughed along, “Young friend, you’re joking.
We had a little misunderstanding before.
I hope you can forgive my past mistakes and let me go.

Tell me what you want.
I still have a lot of property in the Blood Slaughter Sect.”
Chen Dengming laughed with disdain, “No need, I don’t dare to covet your property for now.”
The Blazing Blood Demon immediately panicked and quickly said, “Young friend, even if you’re unwilling to let me go, as long as you’re willing to preserve my Spiritual Wisdom and refine me into a Soul Ghost, I would willingly accept it.
Once I’m refined into a Soul Ghost, you will be my master, and I won’t try any tricks.
That way, you can rest assured.”
Chen Dengming was stunned.
This Blazing Blood Demon was a wolf-like creature.
In order to survive, it was even willing to let him refine it into a Soul Ghost.
It was a stark contrast to the Lin Family’s ancestor, Lin He.
Lin He was not willing to be trapped in a soul and refined into a Soul Ghost even if his soul was scattered.
“Sorry, I don’t know how to refine Soul Ghosts.” Chen Dengming chuckled regretfully.
“How can that be?”
The Blazing Blood Demon couldn’t believe it, “You have such powerful Ghost Creatures, how can you not know how to refine Soul Ghosts?
Young friend, I am a Golden Core.
If you refine me into a Golden Core Soul Ghost, it would be extremely valuable.
If you can’t do it, you can learn it quickly.
I know where the disciples of the Soul Devouring Sect are.
I can help you hunt them and force them to reveal the secret technique of Soul Refining.
There’s still time…”
“You old ghost.”
Chen Dengming almost laughed out of amusement.
He really hadn’t seen such a freak who considered his enemy’s interests and suggested ways they could trap him.
Such tenacity for survival, where he was willing to do anything just to live, was truly unparalleled.
But Chen Dengming didn’t want to carry such a cunning old fox at his side, not to mention he really didn’t know the method of Soul Ghost Refining.
However, before completely annihilating this old jerk, he could first reassure him and pry some useful information from him.
Given his status as a famous Golden Core Great Cultivator from the Demon Cultivation faction, he might know a lot of information.
This interrogation procedure would be carried out once he returned to the Allied Sects.
“Let’s put the matter of refining a Soul Ghost aside for now.
I have a question for you first.”
Chen Dengming changed the topic and asked, “Do you know what role Demon Star Dongfang Huayuan plays in your Demon Cultivation faction?
What is his strength to defeat the second-generation ancestor of the Heavenly Dao Sect?
I know he wasn’t originally a Demon Cultivator.
Why does he help you?
And why are you willing to trust him?”
“Uh…
this…”
When the name Demon Star Dongfang Huayuan was mentioned, the Blazing Blood Demon seemed extraordinarily hesitant, his eyes flickering, looking unsure, “Young friend, we will need a long discussion for this…”
“Then keep it short.
Only tell me the important things that I want to hear.”
Chen Dengming’s eyes narrowed slightly.
With a wave of the Soul Attracting Banner, Chu Xun immediately flew out from within the banner, cackling with a strange laugh.
He pointed at the Blazing Blood Demon and let out a ‘cluck’ sound.
The Blazing Blood Demon trembled.
It was so scared by this demonic action that it felt like it was struck by cold wind.
Seeing the atmosphere turning unfavorable, it had no choice but to bite the bullet and start talking…
