Primordial Era: I am the Bull Demon King, the First Demon of All Time

Chapter 60 Burning Lamp is shocked: It's actually a disciple of the Intercepting Sect!

It's not that the Way of Death isn't powerful enough, but rather that the Old Ancestor Yinyun hasn't yet reached that level of understanding.

Therefore, Chen Jing had an idea.

It is said that life and death are a cycle, and the extreme of life is death, and the extreme of death is life.

Chen Jing wanted to experience the way of death, to understand life and death, and to see if he could find a breakthrough opportunity.

This process is risky; if the path of death is not penetrated sufficiently, one cannot comprehend life and death.

If the intrusion goes too far, even if the person doesn't die, it will cause serious damage to their primordial spirit and physical body.

Although the risks were great, the rewards were equally astonishing, giving him a completely new understanding of life and death.

Looking at the Taoist priest who had no life left, yet whose soul had not yet left his body, the Old Ancestor Yinyun showed a hint of doubt on his face.

Normally, if a person's physical body dies, their soul should drift away.

But the Taoist priest in front of them was clearly lifeless, yet his soul was nowhere to be seen.

Old Ancestor Yinyun dared not be careless and watched from a distance for a while longer, but still did not see Chen Jing's soul leave, and his body still showed no signs of life.

For so long, the Yin Yun Ancestor, who relied on devouring death energy to cultivate, had grown quite weary of it, and now he was eager to devour Yin souls.

Filled with doubt, the Old Ancestor of Dark Clouds walked towards Chen Jing, intending to investigate.

Perhaps because he was full of confidence in his own path to death, the Old Ancestor of Yinyun did not take many precautions when he approached Chen Jing. He was only thinking about why he could not see the Taoist's ghost.

Just as he walked up to Chen Jing, a pillar of energy, as long as a dragon, flew towards him.

Chen Jing could sense the approach of the Yin Yun Ancestor.

Although his physical body was decaying, his internal meridians and organs were not affected in any way. Under the immense power of Qi and blood, Chen Jing only allowed the power of death to invade his physical body, but not his internal organs.

Upon seeing the approaching Yin Yun Patriarch, Chen Jing immediately had an idea.

While Yin Yun Lao Zu wasn't paying attention, Hun Tie Gun quietly appeared behind him, pouring all his magic power and strength into it. When it was right in front of him, he suddenly blasted it out.

"boom!"

The energy pillar slammed heavily into the body of the Yin Yun Ancestor, sending him flying backward. He crashed violently into a mountain peak thousands of meters away before falling heavily to the ground.

A mouthful of blood spurted from the mouth of the Old Ancestor of Dark Clouds. Although the death aura weakened him layer by layer, he looked completely exhausted and lay on the ground for a long time without getting up.

Before his eyes, the withered, lifeless body gradually became full of vitality, and a new life force emanated from it.

An expression of disbelief appeared on the face of the Old Ancestor of Dark Clouds.

The already waning energy weakened even further.

This time, it was Chen Jing's resurrection that completely overturned his understanding.

Or perhaps he was too confident.

Forcing himself to stay awake, the Old Ancestor of Dark Clouds shouted, "How did you see through my path to death?"

"How could such a trivial skill possibly take my life?"

Chen Jing said nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this, the Old Ancestor of Dark Clouds turned ashen-faced. He was born from this deathly aura and took human form. His entire life was dedicated to studying the Way of Death.

However, he felt that his life's research had been such a failure in this Taoist priest, and his Taoist heart began to waver at that moment.

If Chen Jing were a quasi-saint level being, he could understand it. However, he could see that Chen Jing was only a late-stage Great Luo being, and his primordial spirit power was not even as profound as his.

His method of death had no effect whatsoever. As he watched the Taoist priest before him regain his vigorous energy, the aura of the Yin Cloud Ancestor gradually disappeared, and his primordial spirit vanished along with him.

However, he also knew in his heart that after the Taoist priest fully recovered, he had no way to survive.

In Chen Jing's view, the cultivation level of the late-stage Great Luo Realm, which is close to the peak, does not pose much of a threat to him. However, the strange attack methods of the Yin Yun Ancestor make him slightly wary.

I wonder if, after what he just did, this Old Ancestor Yinyun has any other even more outlandish methods.

Chen Jing decided to play along, taking advantage of Yin Yun Lao Zu's carelessness to launch a full-force attack.

After the Yin Yun Ancestor perished, a spike-shaped spiritual treasure lay near his corpse, which appeared to be the same spiritual treasure that the Yin Yun Ancestor had previously possessed.

Even from a distance, one can tell that this magical treasure is of extraordinary quality. More importantly, the character for "death" is faintly visible within the treasure.

It was similar to the deathly aura in the character for "death" written by the Old Ancestor of Dark Clouds, but it was far less intense.

Chen Jing, naturally, showed no courtesy towards this magical treasure, and slowly walked over to it, taking it into his possession.

Since this magical treasure also contains the Dao of Death, Chen Jing thought that he could study it carefully after returning home.

The insight he had just gained had a profound impact on him.

Just as Chen Jing had put away the magical treasure and was about to go to the cave to retrieve the treasure chest, a voice came from the horizon.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait."

As the voice faded, a Taoist priest with unusual features, dressed in a gray robe, appeared on Yinshan Mountain.

Looking at the Taoist priest before him, Chen Jing had never seen such a person before.

"What brings you here, my friend?"

Somewhat confused, Chen Jing asked.

"The spiritual treasure that you just received was borrowed from Fellow Daoist Yinyun. Now that Fellow Daoist Yinyun has perished, please return it to me."

The Taoist priest in the gray robe spoke with a serious expression.

Upon hearing these words, Chen Jing was instantly dumbfounded; there were still such people in the world.

I killed your friend, and instead of seeking revenge, you come here demanding a magical artifact?

Looking at the Taoist priest in front of him, although he could not see through his cultivation level, he was undoubtedly still a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

This style of doing things instantly brought a person to Chen Jing's mind.

Suppressing his doubts, Chen Jing bowed to the gray-robed Taoist and said, "This humble Taoist is Chen Jing of the Jie Sect. May I ask how you are addressed, fellow Taoist?"

Upon hearing Chen Jing's words, the gray-robed Taoist was clearly taken aback. He had not expected that the Taoist in front of him was actually a disciple of the Jie Sect.

With such cultivation, even within the Jie Sect, he would likely be considered a very important figure.

"This humble Taoist lit a lamp at the Yuanjue Cave on Lingjiu Mountain."

The gray-robed Taoist priest spoke slowly.

After suppressing his many thoughts, Ran Deng spoke.

Originally, he thought that if the Taoist in front of him didn't know what was good for him, he would just kill him and then rob the treasure.

However, after hearing Chen Jing's self-introduction, he temporarily suppressed this thought.
