Chapter 216: Chapter 216: The Power of the Heavenly Demon 1
Translator: 549690339
“The true demon, our Demon Skill, is an authentic power of the demonic path. Those who practice the Demon Skill, as long as they are willing to accept the Demon Seal, can gain additional power from the Heavenly Demon.
“There are 18 levels of the Demon Seal. The deeper it is, the stronger the control of the Heavenly Demon becomes. Once it reaches the 18th level, you become a slave to the Heavenly Demon, obeying its every command.
Youyue revealed the secret of the Demon Palace.
“Where is the Heavenly Demon?”
Li Su asked.
Youyue shook her head: “I don’t know. Our initial contact with the Heavenly Demon and the acquisition of its power came through the Demon Stele. There are countless Demon Steles, so even if many people in the Demon Palace are killed by the Tribulation Thunder, the supply of people never stops.”
She continued to explain.
As Youyue spoke, Li Su came to understand the situation within the Demon
Palace.
The Demon Palace was not established by any demon cultivator.
Instead, all those who touched the Demon Stele, practiced the Demon Skill, and accepted the Demon Seal were considered members of the Demon Palace.
The Demon Skill was extraordinary, allowing for rapid cultivation and impressive power.
The key point is:
If you’re willing to accept the Demon Seal, you can gain a surge in power immediately through the Demon Stele.
If you’re unwilling to be branded by the Demon Seal, you will no longer be able to practice the skill to a certain extent, and there will be no further technique to follow.
It was with this power that Youyue had managed to escape from Chongguo.
If one’s cultivation encounters a bottleneck, they can deepen their Demon Seal as a price and exchange it for power from the unknown Heavenly Demon through the Demon Seal.
“No wonder, Youyue has two Golden Elixir Peaks under her command.”
Li Su thought.
There were many Golden Elixir Peaks in the Demon Palace.
It wasn’t difficult for these people to reach Golden Elixir Peak.
The difficulty lied in the Tribulation Thunder that came when breaking through from the Golden Elixir stage to the Nascent Soul stage! Tribulation Thunder was a huge hurdle for the demon cultivators.
Countless demon cultivators have perished at this step.
“My spiritual root is a Dark Spirit Root. Although it is only a second-tier root, the speed at which it cultivates the Demon Skill is no less than that of a first-tier Heavenly Spirit Root. Hence, it has only one level of the Demon Seal to this day.”
“Otherwise, it would not have been so easy to break free.”
Youyue explained.
The more Demon Seals one has, the harder it becomes to break free.
Once the Demon Seal reaches 18 levels, a person can only be a lifelong slave to the Heavenly Demon. If the Heavenly Demon orders you to die, you must die.
Of course, the Heavenly Demon would probably think twice before recklessly throwing away a fully grown individual with 18 levels of the Demon Seal.
“This Heavenly Demon must be at the level of an ‘immortal.’
Li Su thought.
This fellow was a genius who created an endless supply of demon cultivators within the Demon Palace through such means.
Even if 99% of the demon cultivators die in the Tribulation Thunder, there will always be some who manage to withstand the trials.
Moreover, the stronger these cultivators become, the greater their chances of facing bottlenecks in the future, compelling them to exchange power with the Heavenly Demon.
Their Demon Seals would only grow deeper.
Once these demon cultivators have grown in strength, they’ll find it impossible to break free from the control of the Heavenly Demon.
For Youyue, breaking free from just one Demon Seal was already quite difficult.
How about two, three, or even more?
This involved matters of the soul and dealing with the Heavenly Demon, which were not that easy to resolve.
Not only was Youyue’s physique peculiar, but she was also truly exceptional.
She had managed to take control of the Demon Seal.
Li Su felt that she might have locked the Demon Seal in a dark room or created a fake personality, deceiving it.
“Youyue, can you now steal power from the Heavenly Demon after taking control of the Demon Seal?”
Li Su asked.
Youyue’s bright eyes looked at Li Su: “Of course I can.”
Then, she gradually released the aura around her body.
When Li Su sensed it, he was astounded.
Youyue was already at Tier 6 Nascent Soul!
Last time he checked, she was still at Tier 4 Nascent Soul.
Youyue boasted, “I communicated with the Heavenly Demon through the Demon Seal and added an extra Demon Seal, deceiving it and obtaining a lot of power. Over the past few years, I have actually been digesting this power.”What a guy.
Li Su thought to himself, no wonder Youyue suddenly reached the Tier 4 Nascent Soul stage the last time he saw her.
“Youyue, impressive!”
Li Su gave her a thumbs up.
It was indeed amazing that Youyue could think of such a plan to deceive even the Heavenly Demon’s power.
“However, this kind of operation can’t be done too often, or the Heavenly Demon will become suspicious,” Youyue added.
Li Su just uttered an “Oh”.
Of course.
This time, the Heavenly Demon was quite generous, giving Youyue enough power to rise several levels.
The reason for such generosity was probably because Youyue was truly outstanding.
The Heavenly Demon really wanted to further control her.
Moreover, Youyue had only one Demon Seal so far, and now that she was finally willing to deepen the second one, the Heavenly Demon, not knowing where it was nor its form, naturally became generous.
“If someone was crazy enough to deepen their Demon Seal in exchange for the Heavenly Demon’s power, would it work?” Li Su asked.
Youyue shook her head, “They would be torn apart because the deeper the
Demon Seal, the more power the Heavenly Demon gives, and the purer it is.
Also, in your words, the Tribulation Thunder would teach them a lesson. Such unsteady foundations would only lead to worse death when facing the Tribulation Thunder.”
Li Su understood.
It seemed that there were many types of Demon Cultivators.
Not all Demon Cultivators would kill and practice Alchemy, and there were also some who practiced diligently.
But this kind of cultivation was still taking a shortcut.
Demon Palace was clearly one type.
The underground Demon Cultivator should be another kind.
The growth methods for each type of Demon Cultivator were different. Demon Palace should be quite special, as it involved the Heavenly Demon.
“Youyue, do you want to have a friendly competition with me?”
After a while, Li Su’s voice sounded.
Since Youyue had made a lot of progress in her cultivation this time, it seemed like she wanted to take revenge for being captured by Li Su before.
Li Su indulged her request.
“No more fighting, you’re bullying
Then, Youyue’s annoyed voice came.
Because as soon as they started, Li Su showed his Nascent Soul Late-stage cultivation, showing off so much that Youyue couldn’t handle it.
Her actions this time were truly impressive.
She turned the tables and controlled the Demon Seal in one fell swoop.
Moreover,
She used the Demon Seal to deceive the Heavenly Demon’s power.
After spending more than a decade completely absorbing these powers, Youyue’s strength greatly improved.
Such an astonishing operation also gained Li Su’s approval, and Youyue was over the moon.
She was ready to show off in front of Li Su.
But unexpectedly,
Not only did she not outshine Li Su, but she was also outshined by him once again.
Li Su’s growth was even faster than hers!
She had taken the shortcut of all shortcuts.
How did Li Su manage to do it?
Youyue was also shocked beyond belief.
Although surprised, she still refused to admit defeat and wanted to spar with Li
Su again.
The result was naturally predictable.
Back then, Li Su was able to hold his own against her even when he was weaker.
Now, Youyue was no match for Li Su anymore..
