Chapter 732 Slaying the Nascent Soul Demon Clan

Over northeast of Lingzhou.

The escape light advanced at full speed. Having mastered the Void Escape Technique, one could also use the momentum to traverse high in the sky. The spatial fluctuations here were not as dense as near the cracks in the deep valley, but one could still step on the scattered wave crests, making the speed several times faster than ordinary escape techniques.

Li Yuan rushed towards the deep valley.

His passive perception spread out over a distance of 1,800 zhang. Along the way, several Golden Core level demonic auras swept past the edges of the forest, but Li Yuan did not stop.

About two hundred miles from the deep valley, a surge of spiritual energy suddenly entered their senses.

It is not a Nascent Soul.

It is a transformation into a deity.

The wave came from the south directly in front of Li Yuan, less than a thousand feet away, and was rushing outward from the direction of the deep valley.

The light suddenly stopped.

The demonic energy at the Nascent Soul level was getting closer and closer, its aura violent, and it looked very much like the crimson-scaled demon on the other side of the rift.

It broke through the frontal defenses.

Xuan Ying couldn't stop her.

Seven hundred zhang, five hundred zhang, three hundred zhang.

A crimson beam of light shot out from behind the southern mountains at incredible speed. Inside the beam was a tall figure, its crimson scales appearing and disappearing, and its body radiating demonic energy that scorched and distorted the surrounding air.

The Nascent Soul Demon Clan didn't notice Li Yuan; they seemed to be heading towards some destination.

The crimson scales had multiple wounds, with dark red blood seeping from the gaps. A scale had fallen off the right shoulder, revealing charred flesh.

Although Xuan Ying was defeated, he was at least seriously injured.

When the Crimson Demon passed by Li Yuan's side, the two were less than two hundred feet apart.

A Nascent Soul level divine sense swept over it.

His vertical pupils contracted slightly.

Without hesitation, Li Yuan activated the Void Escape Technique.

Spiritual energy probed into the spatial wall beneath his feet, and he stepped onto the summit the instant the wave arrived. His body was propelled forward, slicing diagonally through the crimson demon's flight path.

High in the sky, the distance he could travel after mastering the technique stabilized at sixty or seventy zhang. After stepping over three wave peaks in succession, Li Yuan appeared a hundred zhang in front of the Crimson Demon Clan.

The crimson demon's vertical pupils contracted, but its speed did not decrease in the slightest. A Nascent Soul cultivator blocking its path was simply crushed beneath it.

The demonic energy on his body surged, and the demonic patterns on his crimson scales lit up. With a single palm strike, the dense demonic energy transformed into a giant hand, carrying a scorching wave of air as it hurtled towards Li Yuan.

A strike at the Nascent Soul level.

The spatial confinement technique has been perfected.

The confinement field did not cover the entire crimson demon, but rather adhered to the spatial wall in front of the demon's palm. The edge of the field proactively moved forward, pushing out half a breath before the demon's palm landed, directly blocking the impact.

The demonic hand struck the confinement field, losing 70% of its force. The remaining 30% passed through the edge and slammed into Li Yuan's Dragon Scale Golden Body Technique armor.

The dark gold scales trembled, and the blood-red phantoms of the permanently formed reverse scales floated on the surface of the body. The force-dissipating layer of the scale breath resonance operated accordingly, shearing away the remaining impact layer by layer.

Li Yuan felt a dull jolt in his chest and retreated three zhang before regaining his footing.

The defenses weren't breached.

The Crimson Demon's vertical pupils have finally changed.

Without pausing, Li Yuan immediately unleashed the Space Cutting Technique.

The invisible blade, now fully formed, shot out from the side. The Crimson Demon was charging forward, its side defenses being the weakest, and the blade cut into the exposed wound on its right shoulder.

With the power of primordial chaos, spatial cutting force and demonic corrosive force erupt simultaneously. The 30% demonic damage from the permanent Dark Marrow Bone Tempering is also added on top.

The blade sliced ​​through the wound, pierced the shoulder bone, and severed the main vein of demonic energy connecting the right arm and torso. The remaining spatial rifts continued to tear within the wound, widening the break.

The crimson demon roared, its right arm losing its demonic energy supply and drooping down. The circulation of demonic energy within its body became chaotic, and its speed plummeted.

Demonic Entanglement Technique.

Twenty-four binding ropes shot out from all directions, entangling the crimson demon's left arm, legs, and waist. The binding ropes were covered with a thin film of primordial energy, which continuously corroded the protective demonic energy layer around the body.

The crimson demon roared, unleashing its full demonic energy. The twelve binding ropes snapped instantly.

The remaining twelve paths are still open.

Dragon's Might Technique.

A directional, cone-shaped, composite mental shockwave shot out from the sea of ​​consciousness. The oppressive aura, enhanced by a permanent attribute, increased by 30% of its mental suppressive power, while the dragon aura, at 50% concentration, crushed the crimson demon's soul.

The crimson demon's body stiffened.

A Nascent Soul at the Transformation level is far stronger than a Core Formation level one, and the Dragon's Might Technique couldn't immobilize it for long. But this brief stun was enough.

The second cut of the spatial cutting technique.

The blade cuts straight at the chest.

The crimson demon broke free of its restraints with its left hand, its demonic energy condensing into a shield in front of its chest. Even with its defenses damaged, a Nascent Soul level cultivator wouldn't be so easily penetrated.

The blade cuts into the surface of the demonic energy shield.

The highly precise peeling ability was activated, slicing through the outer layer of the shield layer by layer. After the blade penetrated 70% of its length, the speed slowed down.

Dark Demon Erosion Rune.

Li Yuan slapped a talisman onto the crack created by the blade with his right hand. The permanent effect of the Demonic Essence Condensation was maximized, and the erosion wave poured in from the crack, disintegrating the remaining 30% of the defense from within.

The shield shattered.

The blade of the spatial cutting technique pierced through the fragments and cut into the chest cavity of the Crimson Demon.

A single slash pierced through.

The blade severed the main vein of demonic energy. The remaining spatial rift tore open a second time within the chest cavity, directly disrupting the core pathway of demonic energy circulation.

The molten light in the crimson demon's eyes suddenly dimmed.

The demonic energy within his body went out of control, and the demonic patterns on his crimson scales flickered on and off before quickly extinguishing completely. His massive body, bound by ropes, plummeted from the sky into the forest below.

As it crashed to the ground, the crimson scales began to peel off. The demonic energy at the Nascent Soul level was more deeply bound to the physical body; with the core collapsing, the entire body rapidly dissolved.

After several dozen breaths, only a pile of ashes and a few pieces of dark red scales remained on the ground.

Inside the storage bag, the True Demon Core vibrated violently.

The demonic essence released after the collapse of the Nascent Soul Demon Clan was extremely concentrated, far surpassing that of the Core Formation Demon Clan. A large amount of essence surged into the storage bag and was swallowed up by the dark gold patterns on the core's surface.

Killing someone of a higher level.

There wasn't much skill involved; Li Yuan felt his combat experience was average, relying entirely on the numerous enhancements provided by the various attributes.

The condition for making the purple attribute of True Demon Core permanent is: Kill a demon of a higher level (0/1).

The Nascent Soul cultivator at the peak of his cultivation defeated the Nascent Soul stage demon.

The conditions are met.

A burst of purple light erupted from the storage bag and rushed into Li Yuan's body.

The light flowed along the meridians directly into the sea of ​​consciousness, and then surged back from the sea of ​​consciousness throughout the body. The purple light permeated the spiritual energy circulation pathways and the demonic energy pathways, affecting both the soul and the physical body, even more intensely than when the blue entries became permanent.

The scene unfolds in the sea of ​​consciousness.

In a vast, dark purple void, countless demonic auras flowed in layers. A cultivator hovered in the center, eyes closed and mind focused, his senses spreading out like a giant net, capturing the source, type, and strength of every wisp of demonic energy within a radius of dozens of miles.

The image fades away.

[Permanentization complete]

[True Demon Core·Purple]

[Effect: Permanently doubles the range of perception of demonic energy; permanently increases the power of all demonic energy spells by 50%; after killing a demon, one can briefly absorb its demonic energy essence to enhance their cultivation.]

The purple light flowed into the depths of the meridians.

The True Demon Core in the storage bag then dissipated.

The changes were immediately apparent.

The range of demonic energy perception has doubled. Previously, the permanent attribute of the Netherworld Horn had already increased the perception of demonic energy by 50%. Now, with this additional layer, the source, flow, and concentration of every wisp of demonic energy within the passive perception range of 1,800 feet are clearly visible.

All demonic spells are increased in power by 50%. Dark Demon Erosion Talisman, Demonic Entanglement Technique, and Demonic Shadow Erosion Technique all benefit from this, and with the additional 30% bonus from the deep blue affix of Demonic Source, the damage output has exceeded the level of a Nascent Soul Perfection cultivator.

The essence released by that Nascent Soul demon was also intercepted by the force field on its body. The demonic essence circulated along the pathway, and the spiritual energy was briefly infused, slightly increasing its condensation.

In the refinement stage of the Nascent Soul stage, this slight improvement is equivalent to several days of arduous cultivation.

Li Yuan withdrew his inner vision and descended into the mountains and forests.

Beneath their feet lay the ashes of the crimson demons after their collapse.
