Volume 2: Heaven's Origin Continent Chapter 144: Devouring Demonic Energy
Clouds and mist on the boat.
Wang Chen began to sort out the gains from this trip.
First of all, there are the demon pellets. All more than 70 demon pellets that Wang Chen privately hunted and killed are here, plus the demon pellets in the nine-mouthed pouch, totaling over 200!
Put together, it's three hundred coins!
Three hundred pellets of demon dan, ordinary foundation-building cultivators wouldn't know how long it would take to get them. To hunt and kill demon beasts, it's rare for one person to do it alone, otherwise the cost is too high, not to mention that if you're not careful, the demon-attracting grass will attract too many demon beasts and you'll end up dying at sea!
It can be said that for ordinary foundation-building cultivators, this is a huge sum of money. Although there are only 70 mid-term foundation-building demon coins among the 300 demon coins, the rest are all early-stage foundation-building demon coins!
The later period of each cultivation stage is a barrier, so the accumulation time is very long. Many human cultivators and demon beasts can't break through from the foundation building later period to the golden core period!
Therefore, the essence of the demon beast is mostly in the demon core besides being in its flesh and blood. Therefore, the demon core in the later stage of foundation building can also be divided into two parts. One part is the fake core realm, as the name suggests, the amount of spiritual energy contained within is much more than that of an ordinary demon core in the later stage of foundation building!
Compared to that, human cultivators who can't break through will focus their energy on cultivating secret techniques and divine abilities, increasing their external strength!
Three hundred pieces of demon pellets, Wang Chen thought for a moment, and then took out two hundred pieces to put into the boundary bead. Soon, the demon pellets turned into pure spiritual energy in the boundary bead. This spiritual energy was extremely pure, and Wang Chen didn't even need to refine it before he could store it directly into his dantian!
However, Wang Chen did not do so, but instead stored the spiritual energy of the boundary bead there. The outer sea domain was fraught with danger, and although Wang Chen was in a relatively safe area, such an incident had already occurred, and going further inside would certainly be even more perilous!
Although it has nine cyclones, it can only hold on for three or four days at full strength. If something dangerous really happens, it's hard to escape!
So, let's store these spiritual energies here and use them as restorative elixirs for our magical powers!
This elixir's origin is so brilliant, its difficulty is so low, I'm afraid nobody could have anticipated it!
In addition, every time a demon pill was refined, apart from the spiritual energy, there was also a wisp of strange airflow that remained. Finally, when Wang Chen was about to approach Island No. 1, this airflow had accumulated to a certain amount and condensed into a ball, which was then swallowed by the Boundary Bead!
Jiuzhu's function is to absorb the five elements' yin-yang attributes of spiritual materials and convert them into spiritual energy, so essentially, it is helpless against this airflow! Because this airflow is actually the demonic energy on top of the demon pill!
The demonic energy is difficult to dispel, so after the cultivator hunts down the demon dan, they will sell it to the merchant guild, and then the alchemist inside the guild will dispel the demonic energy and refine the dan medicine.
The orb itself had no ability to absorb demonic energy, but after the addition of the Causal Energy, a mysterious change occurred. No matter what kind of substance it was, it seemed that it could be transformed for its own use, and undergo a mysterious transformation!
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, after absorbing the evil energy, an ancient aura appeared in the Boundary Pearl, and this aura was actually leaking out from a few mysterious talismans!
The crooked and twisted runes, like a child's scribble, would not have caught Wang Chen's attention if they were elsewhere. But appearing here, Wang Chen naturally knew that these runes were extraordinary!
"Roar! Roar!"
Faintly, the sound of a fierce beast's roar came from above the symbol, and the wild aura grew thicker. Then, in an instant, the symbol seeped into the boundary bead and disappeared!
Wang Chen closed his eyes, sensing the changes in the boundary bead. After a long time, he opened his eyes and let out a helpless sigh:
"This rune is obviously related to the demon tribe, but what it specifically means can't be understood. However, one can feel that this change is more important than the last time when I swallowed the refined corpse. Unfortunately, my cultivation is still too low, and I can only vaguely sense some things!"
Immediately, Wang Chen closed his eyes again and concentrated his mind within the boundary bead!
Jie Zhu didn't completely swallow the ball of evil energy, to be precise, after swallowing it whole, he spat out a part of it. The breath that was spat out compared to the evil energy had less ferocity and eeriness, but more ancient aura!
Jie Zhu is equivalent to Wang Chen's alternative self, and Wang Chen can naturally feel that this thread of energy should have many benefits for himself, but what the benefits are, he doesn't know!
After a moment of stunned silence, Wang Chen still managed to control himself and merge this strand of energy into his own dantian.
The moment the silk air entered the dantian, Wang Chen felt a primordial aura surrounding him, filled with primitive and powerful feelings that were difficult to describe, flooding his divine soul!
It wasn't until Wang Chen came back to his senses that he discovered a massive change had occurred in his body! The entire dantian's mana had been imbued with a hint of ancient aura, although it was very weak, but the change could already be felt!
Furthermore, Wang Chen felt that after devouring a few more, his understanding of the demon's runes deepened, and he could further perfect the Boundary Decree, which would lead to another huge leap in the magical power it produced!
Thinking of this, Wang Chen lightly swung his fist again, and the violent airflow almost tore Cloud Luanzhou's warning array to shreds!
"This power, just a slight increase of 200,000 catties, is too terrifying. Moreover, the strength of my body seems to have undergone a huge change, and has already reached the level of an extreme treasure!"
Reaching the physical strength of an extreme treasure instrument is a feeling that doesn't need to be said, and traversing the vast oceanic domain is no longer a problem!
After all, even if it's a magic treasure for a moment, it can't shatter the extreme treasure! That is to say, Wang Chen can now withstand the attack of the Golden Elixir period cultivator for a while!
Not only that, after increasing by 200,000 catties, Wang Chen's strength reached more than 7 million catties, and his power alone had already reached the level of the late stage of foundation building! Moreover, this attack was different from the late stage of foundation building. At the late stage of foundation building, each attack would consume a certain amount of spiritual energy. If one didn't replenish their spiritual energy, they would be exhausted in at most three or four hours!
Physical repair is different and can last for several days or even tens of days without any problem! This is still low-level physical repair, and when it comes to high-level physical repair, there is almost no time limit!
As a result, after absorbing the remaining demonic energy of the Boundary Pearl this time, Wang Chen's physical strength has increased greatly!
However, Wang Chen still knew what was important, his main strength still came from his sword cultivation. For example, if he were to encounter a body cultivator with similar strength to himself right now, using his full power and flying sword, he could kill them with just one slash!
Jian Xiu has always been a terrifying figure who can transcend levels and challenge!
After the inspection, Wang Chen was even more satisfied with the effect of devouring the demon energy. There was not a single wisp of demon energy aura on his body, and his strength had increased by so much. How could he not be satisfied?
However, Wang Chen also knew that ordinary demon energy did not have this effect, and only after being transformed by the Boundary Pearl would it be so terrifying! Otherwise, some demonic cultivators in the rumors wouldn't they far surpass ordinary cultivators?
In fact, it is said that the demonic cultivator is inferior to the ordinary cultivator in many ways. The only possible exception is their lifespan, which may be similar to that of a demon beast, although not comparable to that of a demon beast, and is probably more than twice that of an ordinary cultivator!
After finishing the matter of Yao Dan, Wang Chen began to pick up other items!
There were forty-two pieces of treasure in the nine storage bags, except for a defensive top-grade treasure armor and a few middle-grade treasures, all the others were low-grade.
It's not hard to guess that the top-grade treasure and mid-grade treasure are probably for the young master, while the other person is just a supporting character, holding onto an inferior treasure to make up the scene!
However, under Wang Chen's sword, this top-grade treasure armor was also damaged a lot. Otherwise, Wang Chen felt that selling it for demon dan would have a better effect!
After putting all the treasures into the boundary bead, Wang Chen's Cloud Chariot also arrived at Island No. 1! Island No. 1 is also the most prosperous trading island in the outer sea domain!
About 700 or 800 meters away from the island, Wang Chen felt that Yunlai Chou suddenly had a tendency to slide down. After removing the disguise of Yunlai Chou, Wang Chen found that there were other flying treasures landing on Island No. 1 from time to time!
As expected, they all listened and then went in!
"This island is surrounded by a Forbidden Sky Formation. Judging from its intensity, even Golden Core cultivators might not be able to force their way through the air!"
Wang Chen secretly thought to himself and descended onto the ground. He then put away the Cloud Chariot and walked into Island Number One!
