Chapter 248: Pleasure and Danger
Tang Yin’s expression was stiff, like a puppet’s. It was as if he did not possess a soul or any sentience. He just stood there under the lustful gaze of the Monarch Rank Demon Spirit.
"His physical body is also quite strong, he is the perfect plaything." The Monarch Rank Demon Spirit scrutinized Tang Yin’s physique. Her cruel grin widened, it only made her even more glistening.
However, she was not able to see through the Heaven Devouring Abyss inside Tang Yin’s body. It was as if it did not exist.
She did not idle for too long though. She gripped Tang Yin’s shoulder firmly and teleported away. Tang Yin did not resist, even if he did, it would not matter. The Monarch Rank Demon Spirit was just too powerful.
Tang Yin was forcefully teleported deeper into the Demon Spirit Cavern by the Monarch Rank Demon Spirit. She was heading back to her residence.
The Demon Spirits wandering around the Demon Spirit Cavern did not notice Tang Yin or the Monarch Rank Demon Spirit as they continuously teleported through space.
Before long, the Monarch Rank Demon Spirit and Tang Yin arrived at a large palace.
The palace was embedded inside a wall of the Demon Spirit Cavern. It was a towering structure of dark obsidian that seemed to glow with an otherworldly aura. The spires that jutted from its roofline resembled the claws of some monstrous creature, and the entire structure seemed to pulse with an insidious power that drew one’s attention like a moth to a flame.
There were no guards or anything of the sort placed around the palace. This made sense as Demon Spirits consumed each other instead of turning each other into slaves and servants.
The woman who ruled the palace was also a Monarch Rank Demon Spirit which no Demon Spirit below the Monarch Rank would dare to provoke. She did not need guards.
The Monarch Rank Demon Spirit did not stop outside to admire her palace, she had seen it way too many times over the course of thousands of years. The satisfaction she felt when she had first built the palace was gone with the wind.
Upon entering the palace, Tang Yin and the Monarch Rank Demon Spirit were greeted by a grand entrance hall, illuminated by flickering candles that seemed to dance to a rhythm of their own.
The walls were adorned with intricate carvings and murals that depicted scenes of beauty and horror in equal measure, and the floors were made of polished black marble that seemed to reflect the torchlight like a dark mirror.
In the centre of the hall stood a statue of the Monarch Rank Demon Spirit. It was carved from a single piece of obsidian and imbued with a lifelike quality that made it seem as though she were watching all who entered. This just went to show how narcissistic and self-centred the Monarch Rank Demon Spirit’s personality was.
The Monarch Rank Demon Spirit and Tang Yin did not stay in the hall, they delved deeper into the palace.
They found themselves surrounded by opulence and luxury that belied the Monarch Rank Demon Spirit’s nature. The bed chambers were draped in silks of the brightest shade of pink.
With a light chuckle, the Monarch Rank Demon Spirit licked her lips. She languidly walked up to Tang Yin and placed her hand on his chest. She then slowly removed his clothes.
Once Tang Yin was naked, she threw him onto the bed and approached him. As she did so, her pink clothes made out of silk slowly fell off piece by piece. She was completely naked by the time she reached the bed.
A pink mist seemed to shroud the bed chamber as the delicate, soft sounds of pleasure echoed for the next few minutes. The sounds slowly came to a halt a minute later.
In the bed chamber on the bed, lay Tang Yin, naked. The Monarch Rank Demon Spirit was still above him in position, their bodies still connected through dragon and phoenix.
Tang Yin still had an empty, dull look in his eyes.
The Monarch Rank Demon Spirit looked at Tang Yin, or rather at his soul. She had already absorbed his Yang Essence. The only worth Tang Yin had left was his soul which was equivalent to a Peak-tier Lord Rank Demon Spirit.
She planned to consume his soul before turning Tang Yin’s empty shell into a puppet corpse.
"It was nice while it lasted." The Monarch Rank Demon Spirit muttered under her breath.
She slowly leaned in towards Tang Yin’s lips, intending to seal in a kiss whilst simultaneously devouring his soul.
Just as their lips made contact, her eyes opened abruptly, she quickly tried to separate. Alas, she was too late.
A black vortex crackling with red and lightning expanded from Tang Yin’s body, shrouding the entire bed chamber.
"What is this!? Stay away from me!" The Monarch Rank Demon Spirit tried to escape from the grasp of the Heaven Devouring Abyss. However, due to her body still being connected with Tang Yin’s dragon, he had access to her body, which was essentially the same as having access to her soul.
In truth, Tang Yin still had his soul. It had been protected by the Heaven Devouring Abyss.
The Monarch Rank Demon Spirit believed that she had captivated Tang Yin’s soul and that he was completely under her control.
Tang Yin did not resist either, which consolidated this belief.
Resisting was useless, not only was the woman a Monarch Rank Demon Spirit, but Tang Yin would also expose the fact that he was not under her control.
Therefore, he had pretended to be under her control, not resisting even a little bit.
When the woman first appeared, Tang Yin intended to utilize Tian Huang’s full-powered one-time attack to escape. However, upon hearing the words ’Yang Essence’, he somewhat understood her intentions.
This was a gamble for Tang Yin. He was betting on the Monarch Rank Demon Spirit taking her time with him instead of just consuming him immediately. In that case, he would truly die.
So, he decided to risk it and stay under the Monarch Rank Demon Spirit’s control. If his plan worked, he would obtain a Monarch Rank Demon Spirit!
In the end, under the protection of the Heaven Devouring Abyss, Tang Yin continued to act like he was under the Monarch Rank Demon Spirit’s control.
During their pleasurable time together, the Monarch Rank Demon Spirit had absorbed his Yang Essence and attempted to consume his soul.
Since their bodies were connected downstairs, Tang Yin’s soul had access to the Monarch Rank Demon Spirit, which was fundamentally a soul.
Through their connection between their dragon and phoenix and the final kiss, Tang Yin directed the Heaven Devouring Abyss to Devour the Monarch Rank Demon Spirit.
Under normal circumstances, this would never work. He would instead expose the Heaven Devouring Abyss and incite the greed of the Monarch Rank Demon Spirit. However, through their special connection, the Heaven Devouring Abyss could Devour the Monarch Rank Demon Spirit.
Everything hinged on the Monarch Rank Demon Spirit creating this connection with Tang Yin in bed. And it had worked out exactly as Tang Yin had predicted.
The red and lightning inside the Heaven Devouring Abyss shot out, binding the Monarch Rank Demon Spirit. No matter how fiercely she resisted, she could not escape from the Heaven Devouring Abyss.
She was dragged into the centre of the Heaven Devouring Abyss and devoured.
Tang Yin felt an absurd amount of soul force surge into his soul. The Monarch Rank Demon Spirit had successfully been devoured by the Heaven Devouring Abyss!
However, this was not necessarily a good thing. The amount of soul force was terrifying, if Tang Yin did not absorb all of it, his soul would explode, and he would die.
Tang Yin utilized the Soul Refinement Technique to absorb the soul force and strengthen his soul. However, there was simply too much soul force devoured from the Monarch Rank Demon Spirit.
For the first time, the Soul Refinement Technique was not efficient enough in absorbing soul force..
’Crap, at this rate, I’ll die. All of my previous efforts will go to waste.’ Tang Yin screamed internally.
After a quick second of contemplation, Tang Yin came up with a plan.
With gritted teeth, he utilized his divine sense and split his soul. That’s right, he split his soul into two. Tang Yin felt immense agony, he even wanted to end his own life right now and be done with it. But he persisted.
The power of both souls was also separated, with both of them only being equivalent to an Early-stage Spirit Ascension Realm cultivator’s soul.
The soul force devoured from the Monarch Rank Demon Spirit split into 2 streams, surging into both parts of Tang Yin’s soul.
Both halves of Tang Yin’s soul used the Soul Refinement Technique to absorb the soul force. Tang Yin was absorbing the soul force at twice the speed compared to before. It was just barely enough to keep up with the continuous surge of soul force from the Heaven Devouring Abyss.
Both of Tang Yin’s souls put their full effort into absorbing the soul force.
An hour later, Tang Yin became less stressed. The surge of soul force from the Heaven Devouring Abyss had started to slow down.
A whole day passed. The continuous stream of soul force from the Heaven Devouring Abyss had halted. The Monarch Rank Demon Spirit had been completely absorbed.
Both halves of Tang Yin’s soul radiated Early-stage Principle Comprehension Realm power each!
