Chapter 1009: Chapter 1006: Demon Form Technique: Liberation!
Inside the small training ground, Luo Feng sat cross-legged, clusters of blood-red flames burning on his body, eight transparent dragon shadows dancing around him.
Roar...
Bursts of dragon roars emanated from within him, mixed with terrifying beast howls.
Hoo...
With every breath he took, the sound was deep, like muffled thunder, causing the entire training ground to tremble slightly. His seemingly thin silhouette exuded an indescribable fierce aura, like a dormant ancient giant beast that could awaken at any moment.
Three days passed like this.
On the morning of the fourth day, Luo Feng opened his eyes; his pupils were still the eerie blood-red vertical pupils, but the previous evil and bloodthirsty aura was gone.
Glancing at the restless blood-red radiance on his hand, Luo Feng smiled faintly.
"Finally, I’ve eradicated the ferocity in the Demon Race’s bloodline; all that’s left is to refine the Demon Qi within and practice the Demon Form technique..."
For these three days, he had been battling the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox within him, only now managing to eradicate its ferocity.
Exhaling a slightly scorching breath, Luo Feng turned his gaze to the Demon Form Technique secret manual placed on the ground.
"The Demon Form Technique is divided into three realms. In the first realm, a martial artist can liberate up to thirty percent of their Demon Qi, with the strength enhancement depending on the refined Demon Qi; in the second realm, a martial artist can liberate up to sixty percent of their Demon Qi; if one trains to the third realm, they can fully liberate their Demon Qi, reaching the pinnacle of their strength. The difficulty of training depends on the refined Demon Qi..."
Thinking of the battles with the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox over the past three days, Luo Feng showed a bitter smile.
"The Demon Form Technique is an Earth-level intermediate secret technique, difficult to cultivate as it is, and the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox is not an ordinary Demon Race bloodline. To train to the third realm, fully liberating Demon Qi, who knows how much time it will take."
Shaking his head, Luo Feng stopped dwelling on fanciful thoughts. The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was so powerful, which meant that as long as he succeeded in cultivation, the power of the Demon Form Technique would be extraordinary. Cultivating to the first realm, liberating thirty percent of his Demon Qi should be useful for a long time.
Concentrating his gaze, Luo Feng fully operated Divine Dragon Nine Changes.
Instantly, a terrifying aura erupted, and as faint dragon roars echoed, eight dragon-shaped shadows appeared around him, clearly visible.
Seeing this, Luo Feng’s eyes shone, "Eight dragon-shaped energy veins, the Blood Soul Transformation indeed broke through! Just one more step, and Blood Soul Transformation will reach the ninth level, allowing me to condense a strand of True Yuan. With the Demon Form Technique, challenging opponents whose cultivation is two levels higher than mine should be quite easy."
In the three days of battling the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, the Divine Dragon Nine Changes advanced rapidly, successfully stepping into the eighth level. Even his cultivation had improved; Luo Feng felt he was on the verge of a breakthrough, only a step away from the peak of the Spiritual Rotation Realm eighth level.
"Disaster is often accompanied by fortune..."
Collecting his aura, Luo Feng’s face showed a hint of a smile.
This attempt to help Luo Ying refine the Demon Qi within was truly a life-or-death journey, walking on the edge of life and death several times, but the benefits gained were immensely rewarding.
The Demon Race bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was just right for practicing the Demon Form Technique, saving him the trouble of seeking other high-level demon beasts. Moreover, both Divine Dragon Nine Changes and his cultivation realm saw improvement.
In these three days, his strength improved significantly.
Calming his mind, Luo Feng prepared to start cultivating the Demon Form Technique, glancing around to notice the training post in the training ground.
His gaze flickered momentarily, and he stood up and walked over.
"Hah!"
Standing before the training post, Luo Feng’s eyes flashed blood-red, and with a low shout, not using Yuan Qi, he punched out.
Bang!
A muffled sound echoed as the entire training ground trembled slightly, a depression more than a foot deep appeared on the training post made of special Mysterious Steel.
Nodding in satisfaction, Luo Feng returned to the center of the training ground and began cultivating the Demon Form Technique.
Time flowed like water.
In the blink of an eye, another seven days passed.
That day, at noon.
Roar!
A terrifying beast roar emanated from Luo Feng, causing giant waves to emerge from the nearby pool with crackling sounds, while the trees beside shook uncontrollably.
In the center of the training ground, a blood-red Demon Qi swirled around Luo Feng like a vortex, emitting a fierce aura.
Buzz!
Suddenly, Luo Feng opened his eyes, the gleam in his pitch-black pupils like electric arcs dancing chaotically in the void, as his right hand pointed in the air.
"Transform!"
Buzz!
Strange fluctuations spread from his fingertip, the blood-red Demon Qi distorted, transforming into the shadow of a Nine-Tailed Demon Fox with a roar, merging into his Dantian, disappearing.
Closing his eyes, Luo Feng directed his focus to his Dantian.
In his Dantian, aside from the awakening of two Four Spirit Rotations, a blood-red vortex had appeared.
The vortex was divided into nine segments, slowly rotating like celestial nebulae, concealing a potent fierce aura.
Opening his eyes, Luo Feng exhaled deeply, a confident smile appearing on his face:
"Condensing the Demon Qi Star Rotation, it seems the Demon Form Technique has reached the first realm. And my cultivation has successfully reached the peak of the Spiritual Rotation Realm eighth level; next, I can push for the Spiritual Rotation Realm ninth level."
Over these seven days, while cultivating the Demon Form Technique, Luo Feng simultaneously practiced Divine Dragon Nine Changes, hoping to see if he could break through the realm.
The results were smoother than he had imagined, and now it seemed refining the Demon Race bloodline also influenced his cultivation.
"Let’s see what the Demon Form Technique can do."
Speaking to himself, Luo Feng stood up.
"Release one-third!"
Whoosh...
A sudden gust arose, and his once clear pupils instantly turned blood-red, transformed into beast-like vertical pupils, unleashing a terrifying aura from within him, his body glowing with intense blood light, two sharp beast fangs grew from his mouth, and a flaming fox tail appeared.
Upon executing the Demon Form Technique, a fierce aura surged from the depths of Luo Feng’s heart, only adapting after a moment.
Hmm?
Looking at his hands, Luo Feng was somewhat surprised, as there seemed to be no change compared to before executing the Demon Form Technique.
He initially thought he would transform into the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox directly or grow a pair of claws.
"Probably due to my refining of the Demon Race bloodline..."
With a faint smile, Luo Feng didn’t think much more, walking to the pool and gazing at the water surface.
In the clear pool water, reflecting a tall figure, the humanoid figure burned with flickering blood-red flames, beast-like blood-red vertical pupils emitted a sinister light, a massive fiery fox tail grew behind him, filling the seemingly thin silhouette with an indescribable aura.
"Not bad..."
Looking at his reflection in the water, Luo Feng raised his brows, quite satisfied; transforming into the powerful Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was naturally intimidating, but after all, that was a demon beast. Comparatively, he’s more satisfied with how he is now.
Wanting to test the power of the Demon Form Technique, Luo Feng’s figure suddenly appeared in front of the training post, directly punching out.
Thud!
With a dull sound, the practice stake, as thick as three people holding each other, and four or five meters tall, shook violently. It bent a few degrees and formed a huge pit almost three-feet deep, a frightening sight.
"Just the sheer power has increased twofold or threefold. This Demon Form Technique is truly extraordinary!"
Looking at the distinct large and small pits on the practice stake, Luo Feng took a deep breath, his eyes filled with astonishment.
He felt that his punch just now was enough to severely injure a Martial Artist at the peak of the eighth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm!
Keep in mind that he hadn’t used his Yuan Qi, and if he exerted his full power, no Martial Artist at the peak of the eighth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm would be able to withstand his punch.
Feeling intrigued, Luo Feng took a deep breath.
"Thirty percent liberation!"
Buzz!
Two streaks of blood-red light burst from his eyes, a ferocious aura soared into the sky, and at the same time, the fire fox tails increased from one to three.
Ha!
With a punch, the air exploded, the sound deafening, like thunder.
Boom!
The fist landed on the practice stake, the tension of Mysterious Steel practice stake completely bent and nearly broke in two, the ground cracked with fissures spreading out like a spider web, covering the entire practice field.
"Impressive!"
Luo Feng exclaimed in awe; the hardness of Mysterious Steel can be equated to a first-grade Spirit Weapon, yet it was nearly broken with a single punch. If in a duel, ordinary weapons, even a first-grade Spirit Weapon, wouldn’t withstand his full force punch and would inevitably shatter.
Luo Feng contemplated that if he maximized the liberation of thirty percent Demon Qi, he was confident he could contend with a Martial Artist at the early stage of the ninth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, and possibly triumph.
"Although the Demon Form Technique has only three layers, the difficulty of training each layer is worlds apart. In a short period, there’s no possibility for further breakthroughs, so it can be temporarily set aside. Next, I must quickly advance to the ninth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, and also can’t delay the Grand Momentum..."
Thoughts flashed through his mind, Luo Feng gathered his aura, changed into a set of clean clothes and prepared to go out to eat something.
In the past ten days, he hadn’t had a drop of water, relying entirely on Yuan Stones and Spirit Pills for sustenance, and his stomach was long empty. He hadn’t felt it while focused on cultivation, but now relaxing, he instantly felt a strong hunger.
When he reached the courtyard gate, Luo Feng stopped; from outside the courtyard, came the sound of hurried footsteps, someone was pacing back and forth at the gate.
Cre-aaak.
With a wave of his hand, the courtyard gate opened.
At the side of the courtyard gate crouched a petite figure, it was Zi Ling; next to her stood a woman wearing a floral blue simple dress, with a delicate figure, elegant appearance, eyes like a spring pool, lips like cherry blossom, exuding the elegance of a noble young lady, although her charming face was quite pale, making her appear very tired.
At this moment, the woman was staring wide-eyed at Luo Feng, her bright eyes filled with various emotions.
Luo Feng smiled and said, "Sister Luo Ying, it’s been a while."
The serene woman was Luo Ying, who gazed at Luo Feng, paused for a moment, and her bright eyes were covered with a misty layer, stepped forward, embraced Luo Feng, and began to choke with sobs.
"I thought you had become smarter after entering Linglong Hall to train, unexpectedly you’ve made no progress and are still as foolish as ever... You refined Demon Qi for me, if anything had happened, I...I..."
Luo Ying couldn’t continue, leaning on Luo Feng’s shoulder, sobbing softly.
Zi Ling also stepped forward, tugged on Luo Feng’s clothes, rubbing her eyes vigorously, tears streaming down, "Zi Ling thought I wouldn’t be able to see the young master anymore..."
Luo Feng exhaled lightly, patted Luo Ying’s trembling shoulder, smiled and said:
"I’m fine, why are you crying? Moreover, this time I’ve gained immensely; it’s truly a blessing in disguise."
"You’re still cheeky... I’ve heard it all, you risked your life to absorb Demon Qi for me..."
Luo Ying held back the sobs and softly in Luo Feng’s ear whispered "Thank you, Luo Feng..."
At Luo Ying’s mention of absorbing Demon Qi, Luo Feng couldn’t help but recall the situation then, feeling embarrassed.
At that time, Luo Ying’s clothes were torn by him, and he covered her with his clothes, uncertain if she knew about this.
Rubbing his head, Luo Feng changed the subject saying "I only did what I could, if the Demon Qi in you were a bit stronger, I would have surely been scared to hide far away."
"You would leave your sister to die, see how I punish you!"
Luo Ying pouted red lips, her bright eyes flashed with mischievousness, slender fingers suddenly pinched Luo Feng’s cheek.
At this moment, their bodies were tightly pressed together, Luo Feng felt the soft voluptuous body approaching, his cheeks flushed slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable saying:
"Sister Luo Ying...I’m not a child anymore."
"Haha, you’re shy?"
Luo Ying smiled, released him, and asked:
"You’ve been in closed training for so long; you must be hungry."
Luo Feng nodded, "I was just planning to go eat something."
"No need to go, I’ve already prepared it for you."
Luo Ying gently pursed her red lips, just about to take out the food, suddenly looked at Luo Feng with mystery "Guess, what it is?"
Luo Feng touched his nose and smiled "Panlong City’s Snow Mountain Restaurant’s roasted Three Phoenixes Yuan Sparrow."
Luo Ying was slightly stunned, a hint of unwillingness flashed in her eyes, she looked at Zi Ling: "Zi Ling, did you secretly tell him?"
Zi Ling shook her head vigorously, curiously looking at Luo Feng:
"Young master, it indeed is your favorite roasted Three Phoenixes Yuan Sparrow, how did you know?"
Luo Feng chuckled slightly, "You both have a slight scent of roasted Three Phoenixes Yuan Sparrow."
Hearing this, Luo Ying sniffed her clothes, expressing a defeated expression, exclaiming in resignation:
"Your nose is as keen as ever."
As she spoke, Luo Ying took out an iron platter, uncovering the lid, a fragrance wafted over, inside were three golden roasted Yuan Sparrows, arranged in a Three Phoenixes facing the Phoenix style, still steaming slightly.
"Young master, Sister Luo Ying was worried you’d come out hungry, so she had someone buy Three Phoenixes Yuan Sparrow from Snow Mountain Restaurant every hour." Zi Ling giggled seeing Luo Feng’s surprised look.
"Quickly eat before it gets cold and unappetizing." Luo Ying smiled.
"Thank you, Sister Luo Ying."
Luo Feng nodded, started feasting wholeheartedly.
Yuan Sparrow is a first-level demon beast, living on the outskirts of Cloud Peak Mountains, with tender meat, a rare delicacy, one of his favorite foods as a child.
"Young master, I’ll go inform the family head and Madame."
Seeing Luo Feng unharmed, Zi Ling cheerfully tossed out a sentence and ran off.
Soon, news of Luo Feng’s safety spread throughout Luo Mansion, filling the entire mansion with celebration.
Due to Luo Ying’s incident, Zi Ling’s birthday banquet couldn’t be held, Yang Qing instructed to arrange a grand banquet in the evening, inviting guests from all over to celebrate both Luo Feng’s safety and to make up for Zi Ling’s birthday banquet.
