Chapter 2552: Chapter 2555: Demon Embryo’s Growth, Little Demoness
"Right there!"
Finally, following the guidance of that Thunder and Lightning humanoid, the three of them arrived at a place as cold and eerie as the Underworld itself.
Ling Xiao released Divine Fire to ward off the chill, only then did the three of them feel slightly better.
In this damned place, without Divine Fire as protection, there was no way to enter.
Lin Ruoxian and Yue Shang could only wait outside.
"If I still haven’t come out by the last minute, you two leave. On the Array Refining Stone I gave you, there’s a Teleportation Array that can directly send you to the exit of the Bull God Labyrinth."
After saying that, Ling Xiao stepped into that bone-piercing, icy Netherworld of Nine Quiets.
He didn’t know what the real Netherworld of Nine Quiets was like, but the temperature here had truly dropped to the absolute limit.
No wonder that even if the Netherworld Yellow Springs Golden Crow was left here, no one could obtain it.
Lin Ruoxian and Yue Shang did not leave. There were some words they would listen to, but some they would not.
If Ling Xiao still didn’t come out in the last minute, they would rather charge in to save him.
At worst, they’d die together.
Of course, Ling Xiao had no time to think about any of that now.
In the coldest, deepest Abyss, he saw a Golden Crow, flapping its wings, its whole body golden, yet constantly releasing black flames.
On the Golden Crow’s body were seals identical to the Devouring Demon Fetus, a full eighty-one of them.
This made its energy quiet down.
But Ling Xiao knew this was only an illusion.
Once the seals were lifted, this Golden Crow would become unimaginably fierce and tyrannical.
Most likely those Martial Artists who died under its flames were killed in exactly this way.
At the instant he approached this Netherworld Yellow Springs Golden Crow, Ling Xiao seemed to see a strange vision.
In the sky, a black sun was scorching the earth.
People called it the Nine Nether Black Sun.
Wherever the Black Sun’s radiance shone, that place would turn into a Mortal Purgatory.
No fresh blood, only the stench of charring.
Corpses everywhere, all like burned petroleum, a true tragedy of the Mortal World.
"What a terrifying Nine Nether Black Sun. The Sha Clan’s Martial Arts seem related to this Black Sun, but only a tiny bit of its superficial fur.
If I really Devour a complete Nine Nether Black Sun, how powerful would my External Incarnation become?"
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao couldn’t help getting a little excited.
He took a deep breath and activated the Crimson Sun Feather Robe, wrapping his body in a Yu Yi condensed from Divine Fire and Red Sun.
This Golden Crow was strong, but still inferior to Divine Fire.
After all, even in the entire Mysterious World, the Twelve Divine Flames were the most powerful flames.
They were terrifying flames born at the very beginning of heaven and earth.
Others couldn’t get close to this Golden Crow Remnant Soul, but Ling Xiao was fearless.
The Golden Crow Remnant Soul was sealed at this moment; Ling Xiao’s idea was to first let the Demon Fetus Devour it directly.
Then, inside the Demon Fetus, he’d slowly undo the seals. That way, the danger during Devouring would be reduced to the minimum.
Of course, it would also be much slower.
But he didn’t care.
As long as he could Devour this Golden Crow Remnant Soul, his External Incarnation would become incomparably formidable, and would definitely be of great help in the future.
"Little cutie, Devour."
With a thought, a strange black vortex appeared on the surface of the Demon Fetus’s body, like a Black Hole, starting to tear at the energy around it.
The Golden Crow Remnant Soul seemed to sense danger and began madly releasing energy, trying to destroy the seals on its own body.
But it was useless.
These seals were placed by the Bull God; how could the remnant soul of a Netherworld Yellow Springs Golden Crow possibly break them?
It was just that a large amount of energy gushed out from the gaps in the seals. If it were any ordinary Martial Artist, no matter how high their Cultivation Level, they’d probably be burned to ashes by now.
But Ling Xiao was different.
He wrapped the released energy with Divine Fire and then sent it into the Demon Fetus’s body.
His Divine Fire was under the control of his Thoughts, so it naturally wouldn’t harm the Demon Fetus.
And the energy released by the Golden Crow, separated by the Divine Fire, couldn’t hurt the Demon Fetus either.
It could only be rapidly absorbed by the Demon Fetus.
A moment later, Ling Xiao realized he had slightly underestimated this Devouring Demon Fetus.
As long as the Golden Crow True Body of the Netherworld Yellow Springs wasn’t here, there was simply nothing that could be done to the Devouring Demon Fetus.
He smiled and directly removed the first seal.
While undoing the seals, he watched the Demon Fetus’s condition. Only after confirming there was no problem did he continue to remove the second seal.
Very soon, half an hour passed.
Finally, the last seal was completely undone.
Only now, the Golden Crow Remnant Soul could no longer resist the Devouring Demon Fetus; its energy was almost completely depleted.
It was effortlessly absorbed by the Devouring Demon Fetus.
As the Netherworld Yellow Springs Golden Crow was completely Devoured, the eerie cold around them gradually dissipated.
But Ling Xiao didn’t care about that.
He only quietly felt the changes in the Demon Fetus.
Something this powerful being Devoured, the Demon Fetus should grow, right?
"Here it comes!"
He could clearly feel the Demon Fetus’s cells constantly metabolizing, its body beginning to grow rapidly.
After being sealed for so many years without eating anything, now it had obtained such a delicacy; all the cells of the Demon Fetus were cheering.
Gradually, the protective shell on the Demon Fetus’s surface shattered.
A fierce black flame erupted outward.
Ling Xiao stared in surprise at what was inside.
It was a little beauty in a black long dress, with a pair of Demon horns on her head, a pair of black Demon Wings behind her, and a Demon tail about a foot long!
"This is my External Incarnation? And it’s actually a girl."
Ling Xiao felt a chill run down his spine.
But after a moment, he calmed down.
An External Incarnation, unlike an Avatar, could be a Demon Being or a Monster Beasts.
It was actually perfectly normal for it to be male or female.
It was said there was a Great Power whose External Incarnations numbered in the thousands—children, women, old people, and so on.
The key point was that this Little Demoness in front of him was actually quite exquisitely beautiful.
The layer of gauzy black dress on her body was probably also condensed from flames.
Perhaps because she possessed the memories of the Demon Fetus, this Little Demoness exuded extreme wickedness.
But she was also controlled by Ling Xiao’s Divine Sense, so she showed a very intimate and familiar attitude toward Ling Xiao.
"It’s said that an External Incarnation has an independent personality, but is completely in sync with its master’s mind, even more loyal than the most loyal pet. Looks like that’s true."
Ling Xiao smiled, looked at the Little Demoness, and said, "From now on, your name will be Little Demoness."
He gave his External Incarnation a name.
"Thank you for the name, Master!"
The Little Demoness actually opened her mouth and spoke.
But Ling Xiao wasn’t surprised.
An External Incarnation already had an independent personality, and Ling Xiao had even fused the Demon Fetus’s Soul into his own Divine Sense, making the Little Demoness’s self-awareness even stronger.
She would be smarter and more formidable in Cultivation.
As for loyalty, that was no problem.
Perhaps the only side effect was that, because of excess self-awareness, she might spontaneously go and do some things.
Of course, these things wouldn’t be harmful to Ling Xiao.
On the contrary, they’d likely be beneficial.
