26. The Demon and the God of War
"Demon Lord, I merely observed the Yin-Yang fusion technique of the Emei Sect and had some ideas that I'd like to test."
"Um?"
Suddenly, Yama Hanba thought of a possibility and said in a deep voice, "Do you want to study how to stimulate the spiritual energy of pills and forcibly activate the Dao-Demon Convergence Technique? That would only be a means of mutual destruction for you."
Leng Ruoshuang could make Lian Emei recover her energy quickly, so the medicinal power was extraordinary. It was a poison that could take half of Yanmo Hanba's life... Of course, as long as he was half dead, with his abnormal physique, it couldn't do anything to him.
However, Teng Xielang does not have such a strong body. If he dares to use Leng Ruoshuang, he will most likely explode. Even if he can activate its medicinal properties, his body will not be able to withstand it. He can only use it to trigger a move that destroys both jade and stone and perishes together.
But that was the original Teng Xielang... Teng Xie said that he cultivated using the method of severing consciousness, and his physical strength was constantly increasing at an accelerated pace.
He is still far from being as monstrous as Yama Hanba, but he is far superior to his younger brother, Shesheng Tongzi, who was born with superhuman strength.
Given more time, his body will surely catch up with, or even surpass, Yama Hanba, becoming even more monstrous than the Demon Lord.
Then we could use Leng Ruoshuang as our trump card.
and.
"Demon Lord, my plan is to use magic to enhance the medicinal properties of the elixir, fusing it with the demonic dragon's avatar, so that the avatar and the enemy will perish together."
"Yes, that's quite feasible, but controlling the explosive force of extreme conflict is no easy task."
"I will consult with the Empress first, and only try it out once I have a safe plan."
Leng Ruoshuang only has two pills, and Teng Xie won't waste them easily. He will first get some yang-attribute or holy-attribute pills or magical artifacts from the Taoist and Buddhist sects to conduct preliminary experiments.
"Alright, then I'll leave Leng Ruoshuang to you."
"Thank you, Demon Lord."
The Second Hall.
"Use Leng Ruoshuang to develop techniques? Teng Xie, didn't you want to...?"
Jiu Huo is similar to Yama Hanba. Upon hearing what Teng Xie said, his first reaction was that Teng Xie was going to fight someone to the death.
Tengxie was not surprised; indeed, out of a hundred demons in the Otherworld, ninety-nine were like this.
No, I meant to...
Tengxie explained, and Jiuhuo suddenly understood, "So it's about using the demonic dragon's clone, that's a good idea..."
After thinking for a while, Jiu Huo offered several suggestions. After discussing for a while, Jiu Huo suddenly said, "If we're talking about merging opposing and conflicting forces, who is the real expert? Teng Xie, you should know that he is a dual-elemental being of Buddha and Demon."
Tengxie nodded, knowing that the person Jiuhuo was talking about was not a demon, but a human from the Bitter Realm of the Otherworld, named Ximie Tianlai.
When the Otherworld was struck by lightning, the rift separated time and space, and only those with dual-dimensional bodies could pass through it.
At that time, a person who defied Buddhism and cultivated demonic practices suddenly came to the demon realm and offered to hold back the fault line.
The Otherworldly Demon Realm is extremely xenophobic, but Jiu Huo has the insight to recognize talent and strongly advocates for his acceptance. He didn't exaggerate; he successfully held back the fault line and used the demonic dragon energy leaking from it to cultivate an extremely powerful Buddha-demon body.
Furthermore, he took Tunfo Tongzi and Shesheng Tongzi as his disciples. He taught Tunfo Tongzi Buddhist techniques, enabling this heretic to pass through the seal of the Daoist Xuanzong and go to the Bitter Realm.
What he taught Shesheng was a method called "Killing Monks to Absorb Karma," which involved sealing one's own power, killing Buddhist practitioners, absorbing their karma, and thus putting immense pressure on oneself to unleash greater potential.
This is an extremely cruel method of cultivation. Tengxie's original form once attacked and destroyed the heavens with Yin and Yang.
"Empress, that demon who defied Buddhism revitalized the Demon Lord's heart with the blood of both Buddha and demon, allowing him to be successfully resurrected. My younger brother has also made rapid progress under his guidance. Naturally, I can no longer judge people with my old eyes."
Jiu Huo smiled and nodded, "Although the Demon is an outsider, he is a powerful figure who can shock the world, and he is also very knowledgeable. He can definitely help you a lot."
The fact that "even though demons are outsiders" shows how xenophobic the demon realm is. Even though Jiu Huo appreciates Xi Mie Tian Lai so much, he doesn't really treat him as one of their own.
"Then I will go and humbly seek guidance from that demon."
Tengxie spoke a few more words with Jiuhuo, asked for a few spell manuals, and then went to the library and secret vault of the second hall to get some Buddhist and Taoist manuals, magical artifacts, and pills collected from the demon realm. Then he headed towards the fault line.
The interior of the Demon Realm is quite peculiar. It may seem no different from the Bitter Realm, but its spatial structure is actually quite complex. You might be in the wilderness one second, and the next step you will find yourself in a military camp.
However, there is no space to piece together the fault within a hundred miles. The spatial distortion of the fault has actually molded the surrounding space into one.
Tengxie walked across the desolate wilderness, gazing at a boundary line in the distance that reflected a dark red light. Before long, he arrived at that boundary.
There was a huge fault line, with no end in sight. Looking down, it was thousands of feet deep, with scarlet lava flowing at the bottom and fierce, raging demonic energy rising upwards.
In the middle of the fault, a floating island sits atop a gaunt figure dressed in a black robe and wearing a hood, obscuring his face.
Its shoulders were pierced by a pair of huge dragon claw iron hooks, which were connected to several thick chains, which in turn were connected to even larger chains as thick as a waist, extending all the way to both sides of the fault.
When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you… This sentence suddenly appeared in Teng Xie’s mind as he sensed this person.
The person who held up the fault line not only possessed terrifying energy within him, comparable to that of Yama, the Drought Demon, but also represented his unfathomable cultivation level.
Moreover, he also sensed Tengxie's perception, a spiritual thought coming back to him.
"...How strange, young pioneer, I think of you, yet I can't recognize you."
Teng Xie sensed the other party's vast and pure mental waves, and with a thought, blocked the other party's probing. He calmly spoke, "It's alright. As the demons have seen, there are always variables in this demon realm."
As he spoke, Teng Xie turned slightly to face the figure standing quietly on the shore.
A white shirt and red pants, with fiery red hair, beneath his deep aura lies a wild and blazing flame.
"God of War, it's been a long time."
The image most vividly etched in Tengxie's memory is none other than the War God of the Otherworld, Devouring Buddha Child.
The three Demon Lords each govern the Demon Realm, and the War God of the Demon Realm is the most valiant and skilled general under the Demon Lords.
The original God of War was the undisputed strongest among the three races of the Demon Realm, the Ghost King Yin Huang Zhu Wu, who was also Teng Xie and She Sheng's nominal uncle.
That heavenly lightning bolt could have completely destroyed the Demon Realm, but the strongest war god sacrificed himself to block most of its power. He exhausted his energy and fell into a deep sleep, thus saving the Demon Realm (the Demon Dragon) from destruction. It was only 'struck' with a near-fatal fracture.
The position of God of War was indispensable. At that time, the powerful sorcerer of the demon realm foresaw the coming disaster, and the strongest God of War made preparations in advance, allowing the younger generation of warriors to compete for the position of God of War.
In the end, the Buddha-swallowing boy stood out and won first place.
By the way, Teng Xie's original form was a piece of trash; he was eliminated in the first round.
