Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 470 First Absorption of Evil
He sat cross-legged in the void, his pores opening wide, not resisting the oppressive force that could crush mountains and rivers, but rather as if actively drawing in and embracing it.

Wisps of dark red energy, visible to the naked eye, mixed with fragments of golden immortal runes and ominous dark red matter, surged into his body like rivers flowing into the sea.

"Buzz!"

Within Shi An's body, the immortal shell forged by the Nine Revolutions Yuan Technique was faintly glowing. Between his flesh and organs, twelve barely perceptible vortexes were forming, like twelve sleeping innate deities opening their mouths and noses, greedily devouring this peerless ferocity that the outside world avoided at all costs.

His aura was undergoing a subtle yet profound change without Shi Hao and the little horned ant noticing.

The originally clear and profound immortal aura gradually incorporated a trace of ancient, wild, and primordial Dao principles that govern slaughter and destruction.

This is not a fall, but a kind of essential completion, as if tracing back to the source of power in that chaotic, undifferentiated era when gods and demons coexisted.

"Wow~"

Strands of dark red malevolent energy were forcibly extracted from the cracks in the golden ant shell, from the veins of the celestial bird's remaining feathers, and from the broken surface of the celestial weapon, transforming into rays of light as thin as hair, and drilling towards Shi An's brow.

With each wisp of liquid seeping in, a dark golden pattern appeared on his body, like the oldest battle runes, or like the cracks of some shackles being broken.

"Brother An...is he cultivating?!"

Shi Hao caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, and his heart skipped a beat.

The murderous aura was so intense that even he felt a stinging pain on his skin, as if taking just one step closer would result in his flesh being torn off and his soul being obliterated.

And his little brother An was actually cultivating, forcibly guiding him!
The little ant also stopped searching, its golden eyes wide open: "Even I feel uncomfortable with the malevolent energy in this place, and he actually eats it as a tonic?!"

Time passed slowly, and as more and more malevolent energy was swallowed by Shi Anjing, his aura became increasingly deep and concentrated.

The twelve dark gold battle patterns condensed from the baleful aura intertwined on his body to form a mysterious totem, like the manifestation of some kind of innate Dao diagram.

After that, with each wisp of malevolent energy it devoured, the patterns on its body deepened, until finally, even faint chaotic energy emanated from its pores, forming miniature vortices around its body.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a muffled thunderous sound came from his body.

The twelve vortexes suddenly expanded, revealing twelve blurry phantoms of demon gods behind them, some wielding fire dragons, others treading earth dragons, each exuding a primal pressure akin to the creation of the world.

In addition, the ancient runes imprinted deep within Shi An's flesh and blood slowly ceased to be dormant golden radiance, but instead began to move and flicker among the dark golden battle patterns as if they were alive.

Each rune that lit up was accompanied by a more primal and domineering "force" growing and strengthening within his body.

This is precisely the "Primordial Ancestral Qi" activated by the first revolution of the "Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong," which is now greedily refining this peerless ferocity, turning it into nourishment for its own growth.

Under the circulation of the primordial ancestral qi, the fierce and malevolent energy was forcibly stripped of its negative will that eroded the soul, leaving only the purest and most fundamental fragments of "destruction" and "annihilation," which were then integrated into the embryonic form of the Great Dao of Power.

At this moment, Shi An's body seemed to transform into a bottomless black hole, not only devouring the evil energy in the space, but even the supreme pressure remaining here was drawn in and absorbed by the invisible field around him.

The dark gold battle patterns on his body became increasingly intricate and profound, like the manifestation of the laws of the Great Dao, exuding a chilling sense of heaviness. They were no longer simple defensive patterns, but rather more like a phantom of armor draped over the body of a primordial god or demon.

"Boom!"

A deep, muffled thud emanated from Shi An's body. It did not reverberate throughout the space, but it caused the souls of Shi Hao and the Little Heavenly Horned Ant to tremble.

That was at the core of the realm, where the divine fire with twelve ancient runes floating in the heart of flame and the dazzling starry river on the outside suddenly burst forth with an even more intense light!
The newly formed primordial ancestral energy, carrying a refined torrent of malevolent energy, washed over the giant phantom formed by the twelve laws of gods and demons, making its lines more solid and its aura more ferocious and powerful.

This means that his nascent "primordial ancestral energy" is being rapidly stabilized and strengthened thanks to the nourishment of this massive amount of malevolent energy.

Shi Hao was deeply moved. He could clearly sense that although An Ge was sitting still, it was as if an ancient ferocious beast was awakening within him. The restrained ferocity was purer and more chilling than the immortal evil energy that permeated the outside world.

He subconsciously took half a step back, and his protective divine light activated on its own, resisting the invisible oppressive feeling that spread out.

The little horned ant's golden hairs bristled all over its body, and its tiny body tensed up, as if it had encountered a natural enemy.

Its deepest instinct, the ultimate power inherited from its bloodline, was frantically warning it that the human before it was using an inconceivable method to transform the ancient, malevolent power accumulated in this fallen land into the foundation of its own power!

This completely overturns its common sense about the concept of power.

After an unknown amount of time, the dark red aura that permeated the space noticeably thinned out. The ferocious aura emanating from the golden ant shell, the tattered feathers of the immortal bird, and the broken immortal weapon also dimmed considerably.

"Crack!"

Shi An suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze bursting with chaos. Two tangible gazes swept across the void, leaving behind long-lasting, dark cracks—spatial wounds torn open by pure power!
Then, the dark golden battle patterns on his body disappeared like a tide, sinking back into the deepest part of his flesh and blood. The suffocating and fierce aura around him also subsided and returned to silence.

"Whoo~"

He exhaled a breath of stale air, which, like a tangible gray arrow, struck the void, producing a faint tearing sound that lingered for a long time before dissipating.

At the same time, he felt an indescribable sense of fulfillment and power filling his entire body, as if every cell had been saturated with the blood of gods and demons, making him more resilient and immortal.

The primordial primordial energy flowed through his limbs and bones, becoming more powerful and refined than before, carrying a fierce aura originating from chaos.

Shi An stood up, stretched his limbs, and immediately felt a deep rumble within his body, like the friction of divine metal or the movement of stars.

He looked at Shi Hao and the Little Heavenly Horned Ant, a gentle smile playing on his lips, yet one that seemed to hold boundless power: "Well? Have you found any clues?"

At this moment, his aura was even more unfathomable than before he entered the cave, like a cosmic furnace that had devoured countless ancient evil energies. Beneath his calm exterior lay a power foundation that was enough to make even a supreme being change color.

This ominous place was, in fact, a true "treasure land" for him.

Moreover, after this refinement, the foundation of his first revolution of the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong was completely solidified, his primordial ancestral qi gained even more ferocious sharpness, and his control over the Dutian Divine Fiend Array reached a whole new level.
