Chapter 160: Chapter 65: Celestial Demon Blood Transformation

The ultimate goal of most Demon Skills is to transform the cultivator into a True Demon that can reside in the world.

Within the domains of the Six Great Sects, destitute Demon Cultivators often lack a proper lineage. They can only rely on crude Demon Skills of unknown origin to practice Breathing and Exhaling Demonic Qi, refining themselves into bizarre Demons, becoming neither human nor demon.

Those in slightly better circumstances, such as the Withered Daoist, could use the Demon Summoning Scripture to summon the lowest-grade Beast Demons from beyond the Nine Heavens to breathe in Muddy Qi and convert it to Demonic Qi for them. While they largely maintained a human form, they had to feed the Beast Demons with their own Essence Blood, causing them to become gaunt and emaciated over time.

Those like the Profound Cyan Old Demon, however, often met the most miserable ends. After rashly obtaining a Superior Demon Scripture, they would begin their cultivation through Demon Summoning.

If they were lucky, the Celestial Demon would merely trick these ignorant Demon Cultivators into gathering blood, flesh, and human souls for it. If they were unlucky, the Celestial Demon would devour them on the spot.

Cultivators from the Four Demon Sects, for example, only practice their Demon Skills using Celestial Demons that have been bound by their Elders and masters through Banishment. They would never dare to rashly perform Demon Summoning themselves.

Even so, many were still devoured.

That was why the moment Yang Jing learned that the Profound Cyan Old Demon had summoned the Nine-Child Demon Mother, he knew the man had absolutely no way of controlling such a Celestial Demon.

The Nine-Child Demon Mother’s expression was sincere, but Yang Jing didn’t believe a single word she said.

The Demon Children—who looked as innocent and adorable as infants with their guileless smiles—had already surrounded him. They were ready to swarm him at any moment and devour him completely, just as they had done to the Withered Daoist.

The Nine-Child Demon Mother thought he couldn’t see her Demon Children, believing her deception was flawless. She had no idea that Yang Jing had already seen through to her true form.

Her true form was not that of a large-bellied woman at all. Instead, she had a green face and fangs, a head of white hair, and four withered, slender arms sprouting from her ribs. Her stomach, however, was distended as if filled with fluid, stretching the skin so thin and transparent that one could even see the organs inside.

“My dear sir, will you or won’t you?”

The Nine-Child Demon Mother took two more steps forward, her cloying voice urging him on, though a hint of anxiety now laced her tone. As a Celestial Demon, she was no longer shielded by the Profound Cyan Old Demon’s Magical Power. She could already sense the repulsive force of the Heaven and Earth Embryonic Membrane and knew she couldn’t remain in the Nine Heavens World for much longer.

Just then, Yang Jing struck like a bolt of lightning, his hands clamping down on the Nine-Child Demon Mother’s head.

The Nine-Child Demon Mother froze. She never imagined Yang Jing would actually dare to attack her. Moreover, the Giant Power in his hands was like a mountain, pinning her so completely that she couldn’t move.

The next moment, the Nine-Child Demon Mother let out an ear-piercing shriek.

Scorching Celestial Yang Fire erupted from his palms. This fire was the absolute bane of Outer Celestial Demons, and it instantly set the Nine-Child Demon Mother’s demonic form ablaze.

The Nine-Child Demon Mother endured the soul-tearing agony, her four arms fanning out and transforming into a blur of countless claws. She raked them toward Yang Jing’s body, vowing to rip the detestable Daoist into a pile of shredded meat.

As a Celestial Demon, ordinary Magic couldn’t cause her any pain. Her current body was merely that of a pregnant woman whom the Profound Cyan Old Demon had found and tortured to death to serve as a vessel for her possession.

Magic and Magical Artifacts striking this body couldn’t harm her origin in the slightest.

But this Celestial Yang Fire was not only burning away her origin as tenaciously as maggots devouring a corpse, it was also inflicting an unprecedented level of agony.

Yang Jing parried with one hand, deflecting the frenzied barrage of claws. The Nine-Child Demon Mother’s nails, sharp enough to tear through Magical Artifacts, left only a few white marks on his arm. In contrast, the fingers on her own four arms were instantly burned away by the erupting Yang Fire.

Vast amounts of Demonic Qi surged from the Nine-Child Demon Mother’s body as she tried to extinguish the Yang Fire. But it was like trying to put out a fire with kindling; the Demonic Qi only served as more fuel. Soon, her entire body was engulfed in Yang Fire.

Demon-Suppressing Fist!

The Fist Technique from his True Yang Body, designed for Subduing Demons and vanquishing foes, landed squarely on the Nine-Child Demon Mother’s abdomen.

BOOM!

The massive force caused the entire cavern to tremble. The Giant Power, infused with Yang Fire, sent the Nine-Child Demon Mother flying backward. She crashed heavily against the cavern wall, blasting a crater over ten feet deep into the rock.

BANG!

The Yang Fire that had been driven deep into her abdomen by the Fist Force suddenly exploded. Viscous fluid and flames splattered everywhere.

The Demon Mother struggled to open her eyes. She looked at the man before her and snarled through gritted teeth:

“True Yang Body!”

Yang Jing reached out and snatched a lunging Demon Child from the air. A flare of Yang Fire and the Demon Child was instantly reduced to ashes.

His right leg swept out in an arc, delivering a rapid series of kicks in mid-air. The other Demon Children exploded into nothingness from the sheer force of the kicks before the Yang Fire could even touch them.

The Demon Mother let out a grief-stricken wail. The Yang Fire covering her body burned away at her original Demonic Qi, as relentless as maggots on a corpse.

A long-unfamiliar feeling—fear—consumed her. She trembled, her control over the Demonic Qi around her beginning to falter.

“Spare me! Spare my life, and I will be at your command.”

Yang Jing kicked over the Demon-Catching Tripod that sat in the middle of the Array Map. Countless tiny skeletons tumbled out—the remains of infants the Nine-Child Demon Mother had devoured as sustenance.

“It’s very important to me… that you cease to exist.”

“Then die!”

The Nine-Child Demon Mother shrieked hysterically.

Her four charred arms suddenly shot out, elongating as they stabbed toward Yang Jing’s vital points.

Yang Jing caught all four of her arms between his own, and with a powerful wrench, he tore them from her body. Ignoring the Nine-Child Demon Mother’s shrill struggles and wails, he planted his hands on her shoulders and slammed her to the ground.

THUD!

The cavern shuddered violently once more. The impact was so strong that even the heavy Demon-Catching Tripod was thrown into the air.

Every bone in the Nine-Child Demon Mother’s physical body was shattered by the impact, reducing her to little more than a sack of flesh.

But instead, she let out a wild cackle. A Demon Shadow shot out from her physical form and flew toward the large, red-lacquered door, intending to smash through it and escape.

BOOM!

The red-lacquered door shattered with ease, but a large net woven from red thread and plastered with Lesser Yang Exorcism Talismans covered the doorway, easily blocking the Demon Shadow’s path.

Iron Head and his three companions had already surrounded the cavern with Lesser Yang Exorcism Talismans.

“I was waiting for you to emerge from that possessed corpse. Otherwise, I would have had no choice but to burn you to death with my Yang Fire.”

Yang Jing’s face was calm, but in the eyes of the Nine-Child Demon Mother, his expression was utterly terrifying.

The next moment, he flattened his palm into a blade and unleashed a streak of blood-red Divine Light, swift and sharp as a bolt of silk.

“Celestial Demon Blood Transformation Divine Light!”

The words had barely left the Nine-Child Demon Mother’s mouth before she was engulfed by the blood-red Divine Light, which drained her very origin dry.

After completely draining the Nine-Child Demon Mother, the blood-red Divine Light obediently returned to Yang Jing’s palm. It condensed into a Blood Pearl that emanated the fragrant aroma of pure Blood Qi.

’As I thought. This Celestial Demon Blood Transformation Talent is my most powerful weapon against Celestial Demons.’

Yang Jing sighed to himself. Even after the Nine-Child Demon Mother had abandoned her host corpse, it would have taken him at least the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn to destroy her with his Yang Fire. In contrast, the Celestial Demon Blood Transformation Divine Light had taken a mere two breaths.
