New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 48 All evil will eventually be brought to justice by Sheriff Black Cat!
After clearing out the corpse ghosts outside the door, Yuan Zhu rushed into the Vajra Temple in one breath. The Yellow Springs Buddhist rhythm (the polluted aura) that was unique to this place increased by more than ten times. The shadow cracks that were originally clearly visible in his eyes now became blurred and gradually moved away, making it difficult to grasp...

"Huh? This time there's no bug."

Entering the Diamond Temple was like stepping into another away realm, subject to invisible suppression at every turn. Imagine being able to easily throw the ghouls into the shadow world and trap them to death as he did outside the gate. This was beyond his ability.

"Boss, be careful! This place is even more sinister than the sacrificial hall. Once you enter the temple, it's like entering another independent space. Fortunately, it's not completely sealed off physically. If you throw a stone at the wall, it will still fly out. If we can't win, let's just run away. Don't worry, they can't stop us!"

The elf swears that she is afraid, thinking of defeat before victory. When it comes to running away, she is no less capable than her master!
The Tiger Demon nodded and looked at the group of ghouls who had sensed the gate had been invaded and were surrounding and attacking one after another. He muttered, "If you say so, then I have a plan!"

Buddha Shiki led the elite of the temple to besiege Buddha, but at this time there were still a large number of Shiki monks guarding the lair in Vajra Temple, and there were also many elite ones mixed in.

For example, the snail Zen master who just ran out of the temple and looked up at the stars has the ability to break illusions and even has other hidden cards. Unfortunately, he was thrown into the shadow dimension before he could make a move.

Now, the four-armed arhat guarding the stone bridge and the two-headed monster monk on the other side of the pond are both elite monsters in the eyes of the [Immortal Scripture].

The pollution index in their bodies is more than ten times that of other ordinary zombies, and is already a threat to himself in the tiger demon form.

However, these ghouls were already dead, their brains rotted. Even if they were successfully revived by the contamination of the Yellow Springs, they still had little consciousness and lacked tactical skills, so dealing with them was not difficult.

The tiger demon now advanced, stirring up a gust of cold wind around him that swept across the entire place, repelling and blowing away all the corpse qi from their bodies.

At the same time, a claw stretched out, and a black mist-like shadow force gushed out, gathering and shaping between the tiger claws, condensing into a huge black shadow claw, flying several meters away, and capturing a corpse ghost.

Then the Tiger Demon exerted all his strength, swinging his arms as if flipping over, and at the same time using his dark shadow claws to throw the corpse ghost over the wall like a baseball.

Caught off guard, the corpse was actually thrown out. With a bang, it hit the ground outside the courtyard wall.

"Haha, it's done!"

Yuan Zhu was overjoyed. Thanks to the elf's cowardice, he had planned an escape route early on, allowing him to seize the weakness of the Vajra Temple.

Ouch! Roar! Wow wow wow!
The multi-armed corpse ghosts waved their magic palms and launched attacks filled with deathly energy, forcing the tiger demon to move repeatedly. At the same time, their sharp claws flew out, throwing out wind blades and shadow blades to fight back.

The four-armed corpse ghost took off with a bounce and rushed to him swiftly. With a pair of thick magic palms, it formed a seal, and led the strong death energy to gather into a magic seal. It bombarded continuously, each palm faster than the other, constantly hitting the tiger demon's dark and rough fur.

The tiger demon's fur appears soft, smooth and flowing from a distance, but up close, each hair is rough and hard, intertwined with each other to form a layer of hard hair mat that can effectively share and dissipate the impact of force; when the attack is transmitted to the thick tiger skin, it becomes another layer of tough defense.

The four-armed corpse ghost Buddha seal palm strikes hit Yuan Zhu continuously, causing him great pain, but when the temporary pain subsided, he was surprised to find that it seemed to be only a little bit of pain.

The Yellow Springs pollution contained in those attacks did not even break through the Tiger Demon's most basic defense, let alone the 'soul firewall' that served as the inner armor.

"Roar!"

With a roar, he lashed out with a claw, striking the four-armed corpse ghost that was close at hand. The other party quickly turned his palm and blocked it with his chest, but was still slapped away by the tiger demon, and fell into the rockery beside him like a cannonball.

Such a powerful force?!
Yuan Zhu lowered his head and flipped his tiger claws. The power he possessed was simply incredible!

"Hoohoho!"

Cats dancing wildly!

While roaring, he repeatedly swung his claws at the ground, tearing and cutting the thick stone slabs, blowing away pieces of broken stones, and under the acceleration of [Calling Wind], he turned them into cannonballs and fired them out, knocking the approaching zombies back one after another.

Is this the joy of sharpening claws?

The nails didn't hurt, and there was a mysterious sense of pleasure. So the tiger demon pawed the ground even more fiercely, his movements so fast that afterimages appeared, overturning and tearing apart countless thick stone slabs and stones, leaving deep cut marks.

With a swipe of his claws, a mixture of cold wind and shadow formed a powerful tiger claw, which flew out again to finish off the zombies, cutting them into pieces all over the ground.

Wow! Wow!
The sound of rising and falling tides could be heard. Not far away on the other side of the small pond, the two-headed strange monk put his palms together in front of his chest, spread his legs to the left and took a horse stance. Then he tilted his upper body to the left, raised his right leg high, and stomped the ground hard.

After repeating this action several times, the calm little pond became more and more turbulent as he stirred it up, and finally raised a two-meter-high wave of dirty yellow spring water, which surged out of the pond, fell to the ground, and soaked the corpses of the zombies.

The broken pieces of flesh quickly absorbed the turbid water of the Yellow Spring, attracted each other, and pieced together into a complete corpse again, emitting a stronger foul smell.

They also put their palms together in front of them, raised their extra third limb high, and once again pulled a stream of turbid water from the pond to wrap around themselves, and rushed towards the invaders.

"Lao Da, test your close combat talents! Direct hand-to-hand combat is not worthwhile, you will be at a huge disadvantage!"

The elf quickly reminded him, "Although you're a mighty tiger, your bloodline abilities have been tainted and twisted into magical powers. A head-on confrontation isn't worth it. Stop using those cat-like claws. How powerful can they be? Try using offensive abilities!"

At the elf's reminder, Yuan Zhu noticed the question marks surrounding the [? ? Claw? ?] spell. This magical power was clearly riddled with unknown flaws and loopholes. If possible, he wouldn't use it directly, but would instead test it in a safe area.

【claw】!
But as the elf said, this seems to be the only close combat ability of the Tiger Demon, which is just right for the current situation.

He tried to activate it, and the shadow power within him rapidly infused his forelimbs. A cool aura flowed through the bones of his five fingers, and his sharp tiger claws began to grow in length. Like Wolverine hurling metal blades, five dagger-sharp bone blades sprang out from his claws.

Not only did the nails increase in length and become extremely sharp, but a large number of white jade bones made of the same texture as a snake's tail began to grow upward against the tiger's claws, forming a set of ferocious exoskeleton arm armor in the same style as the skull's tail, which firmly protected the claws, forearms, and forelimbs.

A large amount of information appeared in Yuan Zhu's mind. As long as he continued to inject magic power, his hind limbs, and even his torso and head would spread out this sharp, razor-sharp exoskeleton armor full of hideous bone blades and barbs, and evolve into [Skeleton Garurumon. Cat Version]!
"Fuck, that's kind of cool!"

The Yellow Springs Corpse Ghost attacked close, and the Tiger Demon raised his claws to block. Neither used much force, simply letting the sharp bone barbs of his arm armor collide with the Corpse Ghost's palm, easily piercing the other's flesh and blood arm. Simultaneously, the exoskeleton armor left a pool of Yellow Springs water, emitting a sizzling sound as it corroded and decomposed.

Snapped!
With a slight exertion of force, he used his sharp bone claws to easily tear the corpse ghost in half, and then was blown apart by the snake's tail. Yuan Zhu looked at the skeleton arm armor that was rapidly repairing itself, and the turbid water of the Yellow Spring that was still stubbornly corroding and decomposing the jade bones.

Two completely different polluting energies collided, corroding and dissolving each other, emitting a sizzling corrosion sound. It was obvious that his [Shadow Power] was far inferior to [Yellow Spring Buddha Rhythm].

This wasn't just due to the "Shadow Pollution is Less Than Yellow Spring Pollution" factor. It was also due to his lack of a complete Transcendental System. His Tiger Demon Template wasn't as complete as the Buddhist cultivation system. Furthermore, he was playing away from home, feeling suppressed by the overall environment.

Fortunately, he is not short of contaminated spiritual energy. His multiple bloodline talents overlap with each other, narrowing the gaps and crushing others in terms of IQ.

He twisted his tiger body, and the skeleton snake tail behind him suddenly stretched out and disappeared into the shadow of the ground. He then condensed into a half-shadow snake demon as thick as a bucket, rushed out of the temple gate, plunged into the gap in the ground, and connected with the shadow dimension of the outside world.

At this moment, he was like Unit-01 with a power cord plugged into its butt. No longer worried about spiritual energy (energy), he could output as much as he wanted.

【Claw】Max!
The skeletal armor on his arms grew rapidly, thickening into heavy armor, making him even more ferocious. Simultaneously, it quickly covered his shoulder armor, converging at the spine. Simultaneously, the same skeletal shell grew on his hind limbs, eventually covering his entire body and head. Two long saber-toothed tiger fangs sprouted from either side of his mouth.

True. Skeleton Tiger Demon!

The whole body is wrapped in an exoskeleton, giving a full sense of security, which is ten thousand times stronger than the uniform of [Maomao Wang]!
Turning his head to look at the pitch-black giant snake that disappeared into the shadows and reappeared in the distance, a row of small question marks popped up in Yuan Zhu's mind.

Why is the Skeleton Snake Tail's combat mode ([Shadow Manipulation]) a giant black shadow snake wrapped in a layer of translucent shadow flesh; on the contrary, when the Shadow Tiger Demon fully activates its [Claws], it will turn into a snake-tailed skeleton form?
Does this interchangeable and intertwined form of black and white suggest that I have the potential to comprehend the 'Tao Te Ching'?

Crack, crack, crack... The four-armed corpse ghost led his minions to attack again.

Waves of Buddha's palms continuously bombarded the exoskeleton armor. In addition to the membrane defense that was already difficult to penetrate, there was an additional layer of prickly bone armor, making it even more difficult to penetrate.

The tiger demon, bearing the sizzling corrosion pollution, waved his palms wildly, controlling the dark wind and shadows to transform into big hands, pulling one corpse after another in front of him, and then bursting out of his body with strange power, blowing them out of the wall one after another.

Outside, the snake demon, having burrowed most of its body into the shadows, launched itself at the target and bit it again and again. It would snatch a falling corpse ghost, then fling its head back into the shadow world, catching it mid-air like a ball before flinging it back into the shadow world once more. Relying on its bloodline's magical powers, the tiger demon rampaged through the Vajra Temple, roaming and weaving, controlling the dark winds and black mists, and commanding countless disposable silhouetted minions. Like a demon descending upon the world, it unleashed a bloody slaughter in the Buddhist holy land.

It enforces justice on behalf of heaven, punishes evil and promotes good, and sweeps all those ghosts who slander the Buddha and occupy the Buddhist temple into the trash can!

All evil will eventually be brought to justice by Sheriff Black Cat!
It didn't take long to clear out the small fry. Even the most troublesome two-headed old monk and four-armed corpse ghost were swallowed head-on by the arrogant shadow snake demon. Then, it fled the temple gate at lightning speed, vomiting out with a loud "Wow!" and then returned with a mouth full of "Pooh! Pooh! Pooh!"

"Great, Lao Da! Did you see that? I killed two small bosses! It was me who cleared out the Vajra Temple!"

The giant snake demon stood up and twisted around excitedly, just like the devilishly twisting welcoming inflatable doll at the entrance of a shopping mall.

She was so happy for a while, but when the tiger demon didn't react, she was stunned. The giant shadow snake lowered its head, looking down at the armored cat, which looked so cute even though it was a small (4m tiger), and asked in confusion, "Boss? Why aren't you cheering for me?"

Yuan Zhu: "I'm thinking about a problem. Although this [Claw] is quite powerful when used, greatly enhancing defense and cutting damage, and looks very cool and domineering. But I always feel like something is missing. It's not quite right."

[Ghost] lacks soul data, pollution characteristics, and death connection with the underworld. Now some of them have been supplemented with "Yellow Spring Death Qi". We just need to refine the first sacrifice before we can try to graze them.

[Calling Wind] lacks its own unique "wind", but the subsequent path to completion is clear and straightforward. Furthermore, the wind comes from the tiger, which fits the [Tiger Demon] style very well.

But this [? ? Claw?] was incompatible with the Tiger Demon's bloodline talent. Instead, it was very 'snake-like', which made him feel that it was not a good match.

"Uh..." The elf shrank a little bit, pulling the skeleton out of the shadows again, transforming back into its original hideous snake-bone specimen. He chose his words carefully and said, "...Maybe this is my fault?"

"What do you mean? Please be clear."

The elf, who couldn't lie, told the truth: "Boss, do you still remember the original bloodline talent that was replaced by [Shadow Manipulation]?"

"[Demon Aura Control]?"

"Correct!"

The elf stuffed some original Tiger Demon data into his head.

The original version of 'Tiger Demon Spirit Root' records a complete set of bloodline inheritance [Demon Aura Control, Ghost Minion, Netherworld Ghost Claw, Wind Calling, Mountain King Ghost Den], each link is closely linked.

The tiger is the king of all beasts, naturally endowed with unparalleled strength and power. With the exception of the dragons of rivers, lakes, and seas, it has few rivals. Therefore, when a tiger cultivates into a demon, escaping its lowly life of consuming raw meat and drinking blood, it retains its formidable physique and fighting ability.

Therefore, the Tiger Demon had an extremely strong body, immense strength, thick blood, strong bones, and explosive physical fitness. All of these were inherited by Yuan Zhu.

[Demon Energy Manipulation], the Tiger Demon's first talent, further amplifies the advantages of the physical body. Infusing demon energy into the flesh, it gains comprehensive enhancements, allowing for a devastating devastation. This power is comparable to Toguro's muscle unleashing and the Hulk transformation.

[Ghost] has nothing to do with flesh-and-blood combat. In addition to physical killing, it opens up a new second track for cannon fodder in the underworld and masters the power of the underworld.

[Ghost Claw] is a further fusion of [Demonic Aura Manipulation] and [Ghostly Minions], blending these two talents into one, harnessing both for my own benefit. Based on the second amplification of the Tiger Demon's body by demonic energy, the Tiger Claw is enchanted with the Ghostly Minions, gathering the power of the netherworld to attack both the body and the soul, for a third intensification and amplification!
Therefore, Yuan Zhu was dissatisfied with his current [Bone Claw], always feeling that it was lacking. This was because he had only inherited the body of the [Tiger Demon], but lacked the secondary enhancement of demonic energy, the triple enchantment with the ghost, and the unique counter-attack burst of the [Ghost Claw].

The invincible 'Soul + Physical' dual-attribute counterattack was transformed into a defensive exoskeleton attack, greatly reducing its lethality.

As for the later [Call the Wind], the Nether Tiger Demon naturally calls forth the Nine Netherworld Winds, continuing to accumulate his netherworld talents. Harnessing the winds for large-scale group attacks, it scatters the souls and spirits of its prey, capturing and refining new minions.

Ultimately, the [Mountain God Ghost Cave] successfully bridged the two realms of Yin and Yang. The Ghost Cave's powerful home field power was then able to feed back into the three talents of [Ghost Minion, Ghost Claw, and Wind Calling].

Despite its early appearance, [Ghost Claw] is the Tiger Devil's strongest single-target killing weapon, remaining in use until death. Ideally, [Ghost Claw] can simultaneously stack the four blessings of "Demon Qi, Minion Ghost, Dark Wind, and Ghost Den."

As for now... What does the demon bloodline of the Xiuxian Universe have to do with the Duling Planet? If you want to integrate into the local community, you must accept the pollution transformation and whitewash the [Boss Template].

Thus, the Nether Ghost Tiger, originally designed in the underworld, became the Shadow Tiger Demon. The physical ability [Demon Aura Control] was transformed into the magical talent [Shadow Control].

"That's not right. Where did this [Universe in the Belly] come from? My snake tail has nothing to do with the Netherworld Ghost Tiger."

Yuan Zhu used dual vision to control the tiger's head and the snake's tail to look at each other, and a big question popped up in his mind. What's wrong with this tail? The more he looked at it, the more it looked out of place, like it was a free gift for topping up his phone credit.

The elf said, "Excellent question! I can only say that you, Boss, are truly gifted! Your [Deformed Spiritual Root] not only contains the complete Tiger Demon Bloodline information, but also a 1.5x deluxe, loser upgrade! It inherits the ultimate innate magical powers of two great demon bloodlines. After being broken and reassembled, it has even greater potential, but it will require some initial adjustment and adaptation."

"[The Universe in the Belly] is this tail. I inherited the Snake Demon's innate magical power? I'm a Chimera hybrid, so isn't that similar to the Black Tortoise?"

One starts strong but ends weak, the other starts strong but ends weak. So bizarre! No wonder I always have a bit of a schizophrenic feeling. It turns out to be a 1.5x deluxe Diaosi upgrade, with more quantity for the same price.

He controlled the bloodline abilities of two species at the same time. They were originally incompatible with each other, but after a round of cleansing by [Shadow Pollution], they were forcibly glued together.

The Skeleton Snake Tail began to merge with [Shadow Manipulation]; [Claws] also inherited the snake bone armor enhancement; [The Universe in the Belly] belonging to the snake system even added the function of devouring prey and refining minions, moving closer to the [Tiger Demon].

The two sets of talents began to adapt to each other.

"That's right, Boss, don't despair. [Claw] may seem to have lost the potential of [Ghost Claw], but it's deeply bound to [Stomach Universe]. [Stomach Universe] is an ultimate innate magical power on the same level as [Yinshan Ghost Cave], capable of devouring prey endlessly and growing. Right now, the strength of [Bone Claw] depends on the strength of [Stomach Universe]. When you become powerful in the future, this claw strike will carry the attack power of an entire 'space'!"

The elf continued to preach about a bright future. If the [Universe in the Belly] was fed to a hundred cubic meters, then a single claw tear would be equivalent to the mass of an entire space added to the bone claws. With this slap, any prey would be ripped to shreds.

If the [universe in the belly] becomes the real universe, then this claw will be the power of an entire world.

"What's more, as long as they're well-coordinated, the two bloodlines will become increasingly closely integrated, eventually becoming a brand-new set of bloodline abilities, giving birth to a new species that starts strong but ends weakly! At that time, [Bone Claw] will still be able to stack [Shadow, Ghost, Wind Calling, Qiankun, Ghost Den]. You, Master Lao, will become even more awesome! (Cracking voice)"

With the elf's flattery, Yuan Zhu, who was originally a little depressed, became excited again and was full of expectations for the future!

I think this [Bone Claw] still has some charm, the more I look at it, the cooler it becomes! The style of the [Ghost Claw] is too dark, and it doesn't match my mighty and domineering self!
So he casually praised: "Well said, you have such a sweet mouth!"

Elf: "I am your most loyal rainbow energy nutritionist! Say goodbye to anxiety and internal friction, and be confident every day! Strong and powerful, strong and new! Bee! (crackling shout)"

Yuan Zhu, in high spirits, continued to maintain his Skeleton Tiger Demon form, surveying the Vajra Temple with vigilance and caution. After the recent round of slaughter, he had thrown all the remaining corpse ghosts out of the temple and imprisoned them in the shadow world.

At this moment, the vast Vajra Temple was deserted, still permeated with the rich aroma of Huangquan Buddhism, but utterly silent. Without the ghouls' manipulation, the threat index plummeted.

"Let's go and take a good look around. Search every inch of this land carefully to see if there are any valuable treasures. Don't miss any."

The elf said, "That little pond, that little pond! Hurry over there! It's filled with such a thick aura of death. That's the spring! Check it out to see if there are any rare treasures in there."

"Unearthly treasures? Do such filthy worlds exist?"

Little elf: "Isn't this all common sense in your mind?"

"That's a novel, not common sense! Don't apply it randomly, this is not a serious world." You are an artificial intelligence, why are you becoming more and more stupid?

As Yuan Zhu's understanding of the elf continued to grow, he found that the elf was becoming more and more stupid. It could not distinguish between the truth and falsehood in his memory, and naively treated the mythological novels as real information.

However, his ability to provide emotional value is still very useful to him. Keep increasing the intensity of my mental massage! This king can handle it.
