The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 231 Demonic Flesh and Blood Entering the Body and Cultivation Flying Head Curse

Various extremely cruel scenes flashed through Li Zhen's mind.

He not only smelled the blood, but even touched the dead body. Even with Li Zhen's state of mind at the time, he would have doubted whether what he saw was a hallucination or a scene that was actually happening around him.

Having experienced so many terrifying things, Li Zhen's mindset is no longer what it used to be.

Knowing that he had reached a critical moment, Li Zhen remained unmoved even when the evil spirit pounced on him.

His ego appeared even more sacred amidst the terrifying scenes, which enhanced his consciousness and put Li Zhen into a special state.

The evil fire that ignited in his heart spread continuously throughout Li Zhen's body, making him look extremely wicked.

Visualization is different from sealing the Great Black Mother.

When sealing, one must resist the evil thoughts of the Great Black Mother, and the visualization requires introducing the transformed evil thoughts of the Great Black Mother into one's own body. In this process, one must also endure the enormous pain caused by the backlash, or even the stronger pain.

During this process, once the evil fire in the heart is ignited, it cannot be stopped. Failure will lead to serious problems. Without careful preparation, Li Zhen would certainly not dare to easily engage in true visualization.

Of course, if the Great Black Buddha Mother hadn't been sealed away, Li Zhen wouldn't have been able to access the statue of the Great Black Buddha Mother at all, let alone make any preparations on her body.

Logically, with Detective Li prepared, nothing unexpected should have happened. However, something still happened that was beyond Detective Li's expectations.

In Li Zhen's mind, having cultivated the Tantric visualization method to this level, he should be able to complete the fourth visualization.

However, his state of mind was suddenly disrupted at this moment.

The sacred "I" in his consciousness was also tainted by black evil fire, and Li Zhen's consciousness continued to fall, falling back into his body.

He suddenly opened his eyes and saw cracks appearing in the large black Buddha statue placed in front of him.

With a faint "click" sound, the cracks on the Great Black Buddha statue became more numerous and larger.

This strange change made Li Zhen's heart sink.

The changes that occurred during this visualization exceeded his expectations, but now that the visualization had progressed to this point, he could not stop and could only grit his teeth and continue.

Fortunately, the three evil spirits he had originally visualized had all awakened, enough to suppress the Great Black Buddha Mother in this state, preventing any accidents from happening.

The image of the Great Black Buddha Mother with toad feet had taken root in Li Zhen's heart, radiating a peculiar malice.

More and more evil fire flowed from Li Zhen's heart into his lower dantian, gradually forming a balance with the three unique powers formed in his kidneys, liver, and spleen.

Just as the process was about to be completed, the statue of the Great Black Buddha Mother and the half-toad statue below it shattered at the same time, collapsing to the ground like a sand pile.

A mass of blood-red substance lunged at Li Zhen.

Li Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and a powerful evil aura surged from his body.

The three evil demons also sensed the anomaly and unleashed an even more malevolent will.

The crimson mass emitted a sharp hiss, and most of it dissolved in the blood energy, leaving only a thumb-sized piece, which pounced on Li Zhen.

The substance easily corroded Li Zhen's clothes and came into contact with the skin on Li Zhen's chest.

An intense, almost unbearable pain spread from Li Zhen's chest throughout his body, causing his vision to go black.

When he regained consciousness, he felt a cold, foreign object in his heart that made him uncomfortable.

"Bang bang... bang bang..."

Li Zhen seemed to hear his own heartbeat.

Warm liquid flowed continuously from his chest, staining the ground red.

Although Li Zhen was startled, he remained calm and did not stop his visualization.

The statue of Mahakala is gone, but the visualization has been completed. All he needs to do is complete the remaining practice step by step.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong afterward, and the subsequent visualization went even more smoothly than before. The thing that entered his heart did not seem to have any adverse effects on him.

After an unknown amount of time, a buzzing sound suddenly filled his mind, and Li Zhen felt his senses expanding continuously.

Having had this experience before, Li Zhen naturally knew that this was actually his primordial spirit gradually strengthening.

The blurry images of numerous demons appeared in the shadows behind him, and an evil aura shrouded in a layer of malevolent fire surged from Li Zhen's body, forming a clear image of a demon behind him.

Unbeknownst to Li Zhen himself, the image of his imagined self was faintly appearing in the very center of the area surrounded by numerous demons.

Multiple voices appeared in Li Zhen's mind, some vague and some clear, as if someone was talking to him in his head.

Knowing that this was the effect of the "Destiny Demon" on him, Li Zhen was not panicked. He just listened carefully to the conversations that he could understand.

His consciousness seemed to be split in two: one part was the unfamiliar consciousness that was having a dialogue, and the other part was the "self" that was listening.

This feeling was very strange to Li Zhen, and he had a more personal experience of what the "Destiny Demon" meant by expanding the self.

After the sound gradually faded away, the strange phenomenon beside Li Zhen had also disappeared.

Ignoring the extent to which his primordial spirit had grown stronger, Li Zhen opened the shirt at his chest and looked at his blood-soaked chest.

The feeling I just experienced was not an illusion.

A bloody hole the size of a finger appeared on his chest, from which thin streams of blood flowed continuously, staining his clothes crimson.

With his heart pounding powerfully, Li Zhen could even vaguely see his own black heart.

The wound appears to be shrinking.

The enhanced vitality of his physical body made Li Zhen feel uneasy.

He went to the altar where the bat-faced demon was worshipped, picked up a jar placed on the table, added some powder to it, chanted a few incantations, and then smeared the sticky substance on his chest.

Within a few breaths, his chest went numb.

Li Zhen picked up a sharp knife and made a deep, long cut on his chest. Then he inserted two fingers of his right hand into the wound, cruelly tearing it open and exposing his heart to Li Zhen's eyes.

His heart was covered in a blackened surface, with flames faintly visible burning on it, making it look extremely evil.

Even more terrifying was a crimson mass of flesh stuck to his heart, which at first glance looked like a growth growing out of his heart, wriggling with each heartbeat.

An indescribable stench of decay emanated from his heart, making Li Zhen feel extremely uncomfortable.

Is this the flesh and blood of the Great Black Buddha Mother?
Li Zhen picked up the knife and stabbed it into the mass of flesh.

But as soon as the knife pierced his heart, an unbearable pain shot through his chest, causing Li Zhen's vision to go black again.

Shaking his head, Li Zhen withdrew his finger, his face pale as he watched the wound on his chest shrink.

This situation had never occurred before during visualization, nor was it recorded in the "Five Elements Evil Spirit Sublimation Method," leaving Li Zhen somewhat helpless.

The heart pounded more and more violently, and the stench of decay slowly spread outwards along the wound in his chest, growing stronger and stronger.

The strange laughter seemed to travel directly from Li Zhen's heart to his brain, making him feel dizzy.

Li Zhen picked up a drawn talisman and stuck it to his chest; the talisman was quickly stained with blood.

With his eyes closed, Li Zhen let the evil energy within him surge towards his chest, enveloping his entire heart.

When Li Zhen opened his eyes, he saw that the decaying brown marks on his chest had stopped spreading, and even the bleeding had stopped. However, upon removing the talisman, he found that the putrid aura at the wound had become even stronger. The current method could only temporarily suppress the spread of this putrid aura; it could not eradicate the influence of the mass of flesh and blood on Li Zhen's heart that resembled the Great Black Buddha Mother.

But it's good that it's under control; we can slowly figure out a solution to this problem.

That's not what Li Zhen is most concerned about right now.

He was now faced with the urgent task of dealing with a new mission.

Li Zhen looked at the runes flashing on his right arm, and his expression became even more unpleasant.

The moment the rune appeared, and the news about the mission world entered Li Zhen's mind, a huge wave surged through his thoughts.

His main consciousness could still think, but the consciousness that had just made the conversation had...

A strong sense of crisis made Li Zhen's hair stand on end.

Li Zhen naturally knew that this was a subconscious reminder he was receiving after inheriting the "Destiny Demon's" possessions, and he also knew where this sense of crisis came from.

He has now successfully visualized the fourth demon, and the tribulation he needs to overcome is within this mission world.

It was from this sense of crisis that his subconscious mind sent him a warning.

It seems this mission will be much more difficult than the previous ones...

Without hesitation, Li Zhen summoned the demonic fetus and began preparing for his mission.

He still has about half a day left, so he has time to prepare.

After finding the golden Buddha statue, Li Zhen melted part of it with a torch and used the melted gold to draw a huge talisman on a piece of yellow cloth that was about the same size as his unfolded clothes.

Because his primordial spirit had become stronger and he was more skilled, Li Zhen drew very quickly this time, almost in one go, and completed a huge talisman in less than two minutes.

But when he put down his pen, he found that the place where he first wrote had disappeared, and the places that followed had also faded, as if they were about to disappear as well.

Li Zhen frowned.

Was the talisman also affected?
He melted down more golden Buddha statues and copied them onto the original talisman.

Seeing that the newly drawn talisman had faded again, Li Zhen began to draw it a third time.

After half of the golden Buddha had melted away, Li Zhen drew the talisman on the yellow cloth for the sixth time.

After this, the talisman on the cloth did not disappear.

After the talisman was drawn, Li Zhen's sense of crisis eased.

Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, wrapped the yellow cloth with the talisman drawn on it around himself, and placed the remaining upper half of the golden Buddha beside him.

He began mixing ink and drew the talismans he might need.

After drawing the talisman, Li Zhen went to the vampire zombie to get some corpse fluid, and then went to the place where the Ghost Face Moth Mother was placed to find some insect powder made from poisonous insects.

These naturally came from the world of "The Devil," and Li Zhen hadn't used them many times over such a long period of time.

After mixing the corpse fluid and insect powder evenly, Li Zhen added his own fresh blood to it.

After chanting an incantation for a while, he put the mixed liquid aside and went to find a rather long piece of yellow paper.

After cutting the yellow paper into suitable shapes, Li Zhen drew strange talismans on it.

Li Zhen simply set up an altar by placing the yellow paper with the drawn talismans together with the mixed viscous liquid.

After reciting the incantation three times, he wrapped the yellow paper with the runes drawn on it around his neck, then sat cross-legged in front of the altar and chanted the incantation in a low voice.

In the world of "The Head Curse", Li Zhen obtained another method of cultivating the Flying Head Curse. He originally planned to combine it with the Flying Head Curse of the Ma Gu Su school when he had time, to create a Flying Head Curse that was more suitable for him and more powerful.

But at this point, he didn't want to waste any more time, so he simply started practicing the Flying Head Curse from the "Curse of Curse".

Any problems can be resolved gradually later.

Li Zhen had a premonition that the talisman had not helped him escape the tribulation he was destined to face, but rather seemed to have only affected his predetermined fate. The tribulation he was meant to face would eventually arrive.

The shadow in his heart never dissipated.

After an unknown amount of time, the demonic fetus appeared at the door of the basement where Li Zhen was. It looked at Li Zhen with some fear in its eyes and dared not go in for a moment.

Sensing something, Detective Li looked at the demonic fetus.

The demonic fetus rubbed its uncomfortable eyes and said fearfully, "You've been emanating malice... no, a curse, just like that... that sealed thing you brought back. This feeling... is terrifying."

No wonder the red-eyed bats that woke up didn't want to approach me...

Li Zhen looked thoughtfully at his body.

After visualizing and merging with the Great Black Buddha Mother, Li Zhen, who had become accustomed to the Great Black Buddha Mother's curse, did not notice that he had transformed into a humanoid demon exuding malice and curse.

He can only control this evil thought gradually on his own; he cannot eliminate it in a short period of time.

He took out the talismans he had drawn and pasted several of them onto his body.

The demon fetus breathed a sigh of relief before daring to enter the room, but still dared not get too close to Li Zhen.

Seeing Li Zhen chanting incantations, it didn't dare to disturb him and just waited by his side.

At midnight, Li Zhen opened his eyes and removed the yellow cloth from his neck.

Then, he picked up the four long needles placed on the altar, dipped them in a sticky substance mixed with corpse fluid, and, holding two needles in each hand, expressionlessly inserted them into his own neck.

He twisted his head to the left and right, and a cracking sound of bones rubbing together came from Li Zhen's neck.

The bruise-like mark slowly extended from where the needle was inserted, eventually forming a line, like a wound that severed Li Zhen's neck.

Li Zhen could clearly perceive that the image of the merged Great Black Buddha Mother appeared in his consciousness.

The talismans he had stuck to his body slowly floated up, some of them already turning black.

An even stronger malevolent intent emanated from Li Zhen, frightening the demonic fetus into running out of the room again.

Seemingly feeling no pain, Li Zhen dipped his finger in the corpse fluid and smeared it on the bruise on his neck before immediately wrapping the yellow cloth around his neck.

For Li Zhen now, practicing the Flying Head Curse is naturally not a problem.

However, cultivating the Flying Head Curse is not so easy; it cannot be mastered overnight.

Li Zhen is only at the initial stage of cultivation; he cannot yet fly his head off, let alone cultivate to the point where his head is indestructible.

However, one advantage of the flying head curse practice method obtained from "The Book of Curses" is that as long as a large amount of fresh corpse oil is found, this flying head curse can be quickly mastered.

There isn't much time left.

After preparing the necessary items, Li Zhen first sealed the big-headed imp and the rotten cat in the demon fetus's hands. Then, he set up defensive measures with the demon-faced moth mother and the demon statue as the core, and then disappeared from the spot with the demon fetus, the vampire, the banshee, and others.

This time, he even brought the dormant ghost fetus with him.
