I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 225: The Cursed Demon
Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Fox Fairy Nannan showed a look of grievance on her face: "Then let's make a deal. Once we leave the tomb and reach a deserted place, you must remember to let me out. I'm almost suffocating in there."

After the fox fairy Nannan finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Chen and said, "What else do you want me to do this time?"

"When I summon you into the spiritual world later, you will send this flower into the spiritual world for me." Zhang Chen said.

Upon hearing this, the fox fairy Nannan's eyes fell on the flower in Zhang Chen's hand: "What kind of flower is this? It looks so mysterious."

"A flower that can take a person's life." Zhang Chen said as he handed the flower to the fox fairy Nan. The next moment he sat cross-legged in meditation and entered directly into the spiritual world.

To be honest, Zhang Chen is now somewhat wary of the spiritual world. Ever since he saw that terrifying figure in the spiritual world last time, Zhang Chen has been extremely wary of the spiritual world.

As Zhang Chen's soul entered the spiritual world, the green lotus transformed by his magic power flickered, and dropped green light to protect Zhang Chen.

At this time, the green lotus condensed into a solid entity, and the descending green light became heavier. The most important thing was that Zhang Chen realized that the time limit for him to enter the spiritual world seemed to have been lifted.

As the green lotus condensed into a solid entity, it seemed to have entered a state of inexplicable perfection. The green lotus could actually automatically absorb the power of the mysterious world to replenish itself. However, the magic power consumed by the green lotus to protect Zhang Chen did not seem to be recovered as fast as the green lotus absorbed the mysterious aura of the spiritual world.

"As expected of a person who has reached the pinnacle of Qi training. He is truly miraculous." Zhang Chen looked at the green lotus with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Then he glanced vigilantly at the dark and flying sand in front of him, with a hint of caution in his eyes. When he saw that the woman's crying disappeared in the endless black sand, he relaxed and summoned the fox spirit.

The next moment, the fox fairy Nannan appeared, holding the mysterious flower in her hand.

As soon as the flower appeared in the mysterious world, it emitted red light, as if echoing somewhere in the dark sand.

"This flower seems to have sensed something in the spiritual world. There must be a place of good fortune in that darkness, where a miraculous medicine is born." The fox fairy Nannan looked at the red flower with burning eyes, as if it was about to fly somewhere.

Zhang Chen was also surprised when he saw this scene: "I didn't expect to have such a harvest, but now is not the time to explore. After I escape from the tomb and deal with the outside world, it will not be too late to look for good fortune in the spiritual world."

Zhang Chen swept his eyes across the entire ruins, and finally cleared out a piece. He used the broken ruins to temporarily build a simple small 'shield', then placed the flower in it, and sealed the lid with larger pieces of ruins before exiting the spiritual world.

Zhang Chen's soul returned, and the next moment it turned into mist and shuttled through the ruins. It soon came to the pool that Zhong Xiang had dug out. As expected, the pool was empty and all the black water disappeared.

"This is a big trouble! I didn't expect that what the Great Freedom Demon said would come true. The Cursed Demon God actually fooled everyone. Now the key is where the Cursed Demon God is, whether he chooses to possess someone, or chooses to escape alone." Zhang Chen looked at the black pool of water with a hint of caution in his eyes. The current change was beyond everyone's expectations.

Zhang Chen looked around for a few times and made sure that nothing was missing before he turned into mist and shuttled through the ruins. He then came to the ruins that had not collapsed, and after a slight hesitation, he revealed his true appearance.

It was dry here, and the sudden appearance of fog attracted attention. Given how smart those guys were, they would definitely try to test it. It would be bad if they exposed their ability to turn into fog.

Besides, Zhang Chen regarded turning his body into mist as his trump card, which he would use to escape in the future, so he couldn't expose it casually.

Secondly, Zhang Chen now had disheveled hair and deliberately made his clothes and face dark, so outsiders could not see Zhang Chen's true appearance at all. Zhang Chen was not afraid of being recognized.

Zhang Chen revealed his figure and quickly shuttled through the stone cave. There was no one anywhere he passed along the way. It was obvious that everyone was afraid that they would be crushed to death in the underground space, so they all fled.

Zhang Chen came all the way to the entrance of the cave, and saw the hanging rope from afar. He did not practice martial arts, and it was impossible for him to climb the rope that was dozens of meters high, so Zhang Chen directly turned into mist and climbed up the rope quietly. Then a wisp of mist "peeked out" to observe the outside world, but saw no human figure outside, and no one guarding the cave entrance, and even Zhong Xiang's army had disappeared.

"These people must have been afraid that the mountain would collapse and bury everyone alive, so they retreated to the foot of the mountain." Zhang Chen revealed his tracks at the entrance of the cave and carefully looked at the surrounding hills. He found that the landslide was very serious. Seven or eight hills in the distance collapsed directly and turned into piles of rubble.

"Speaking of which, the Feng Shui formation covers an area of ​​a hundred miles in radius. Could there be other formation eyes that suppress the formation? It doesn't make sense that there is only one formation eye?" Zhang Chen stroked the beads in his sleeves, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Zhang Chen was greedy and wanted to get more treasures, so he simply wandered among the mountains. A distant figure appeared in front of him. Zhang Chen took a closer look and found that it was Huang Chao.

But Huang Chao was not having a good time at this time. His whole body was covered with a black liquid. The black liquid kept rolling and poured into his body through his mouth, nose and skin.

Zhang Chen was horrified when he saw this scene: "Curse the devil!!!"

Who else could that swirling black liquid be other than the cursed demon?
How did the cursed demon get mixed up with the yellow tide?

Zhang Chen's eyes showed a trace of caution. He walked forward cautiously, only to see that Huang Chao was completely invaded by the black liquid. Huang Chao's face was covered with black liquid. He looked at Zhang Chen with a ferocious expression and begged: "Save me! Save me! Please save me!"

Huang Chao's entire face was covered with the black liquid, looking eerie and terrifying. When he saw Zhang Chen, he sent out a signal for help.

"How can I save you?" Zhang Chen asked.

Huang Chao looked painful: "I don't know... I don't know... Save me! Please!"

"Great and Free Demon, how can I save him?" Zhang Chen summoned out the Great and Free Demon.

The Great Freedom Demon swept his eyes across the yellow tide covered by black liquid in front of him, and a strange look appeared in his eyes at this time: "Interesting! Really interesting! I didn't expect that the old guy Cursed Demon God really has a trace of spirituality preserved. But this guy now only has the last trace of spiritual instinct, without real wisdom and consciousness. It's just that he instinctively wants to take over this kid's body in order to get a chance to live again."

"Now his cursed body is merging with Huang Chao's body, and his spirit is invading Huang Chao's soul and consciousness. You just need to pull out his consciousness to buy time for Huang Chao to merge with his body. Once the fusion is complete, his remaining consciousness will be difficult to achieve great things." The Great Freedom Demon thought of Zhang Chen's strange soul-catching chain, and at this time a thought emerged in his mind: "I can't let myself be unlucky! I want all my old brothers to be unlucky."

“There are actually some remaining spiritual beings?” Zhang Chen’s eyes lit up when he heard this. This was in line with his major.

Zhang Chen's expression turned serious at this moment. He scanned his own skill panel with his eyes, and the next moment, the soul-snatching skill was activated immediately:
[The soul-stealing skill is being activated...] [Can bewitch souls!]

As Zhang Chen thought about it, the next moment an inexplicable energy flew out of his body and directly entered Huang Chao's body, marking the black liquid. Then the energy turned into a chain, connecting Zhang Chen and the remaining spirit of the Cursed Demon God.

The remaining spirit of the Cursed Demon was marked by Zhang Chen, and it looked around vigilantly like a frightened rabbit.

Zhang Chen did not give the Cursed Demon God a chance to react spiritually. The next moment, the black and white world flashed in front of his eyes, and Zhang Chen's soul stepped into the black and white world. He grabbed the chain connecting the Cursed Demon God, stretched out his hand and gently pulled it. Then, the chain of the Cursed Demon God was directly pulled by Zhang Chen, and then a ball of black gas was pulled out of Huang Chao's body.

Zhang Chen's soul returned to his body from the black and white world, and the black gas also returned with it. At this time, the black gas realized its bad situation and rushed directly towards Zhang Chen, wanting to attack Zhang Chen, but was immune to Zhang Chen's chains.

"The Cursed Demon God now has only the remaining spirit. I wonder if my Righteous God's Light can annihilate it." Zhang Chen chanted in his mind and activated the Righteous God's Light in his hand, pressing it towards the remaining spirit. However, who knew that the Righteous God's Light had no effect when it met the remaining spirit of the Cursed Demon God.

“This is fruit-level power, which cannot be harmed by your righteous divine light. The two are not powers from the same dimension at all.” The Great Freedom Demon explained for Zhang Chen.

"What should we do? Now that this hot potato has been untangled, what should we do with it next? Can my Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation destroy its spirituality?" Zhang Chen turned his head and looked at the Great Freedom Demon.

"No! This is the most original spirituality, the most original thing without wisdom, and it is extremely pure. Your Nine-bend Yellow River Talisman Formation can only wash away a person's cultivation, but it cannot erase any object. And this thing has no cultivation, it is just pure origin." The Great Freedom Demon shook his head and rejected Zhang Chen's words:
"There are two ways to wipe it out. The first is to seal this spiritual essence and prevent it from contacting the main body. Without the nutrients provided by the main body, it will naturally die out after a few hundred years. The second is to ask that kid named Huang Chao to refine this spiritual essence... But it's too difficult, almost impossible! I'm afraid that by then this spiritual essence will take over and swallow up Huang Chao's soul. Then it will take over the magpie's nest and live again in the world."

"How could I have such a powerful sealing technique?" Zhang Chen said unhappily.

This is simply impossible!

But he could only use the chain to hold the other party's soul for three days at most. After three days, this wisp of spirituality would return to Huang Chao's body, and that would be a big trouble again.

"If this spiritual energy takes over Huang Chao's body, we will all be in big trouble." Zhang Chen cursed, "Help me think of a way to at least suppress this spiritual energy."

This kind of thing can only be handled by the Great Freedom Demon.

Upon hearing this, the Great Freedom Demon pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, there is another way."

"What method?" Zhang Chen asked with surprise.

"The power of faith! As long as we gather the power of faith and use it to suppress and destroy it, we may be able to refine it and use it for our own benefit." The Great Freedom Heavenly Demon said: "The power of faith is the most unique power in the world. It has incredible fortune and can create incredible miracles."

"Do you think Huang Chao has a chance to collect faith? Does he have the time?" Zhang Chen said unhappily.

"If Huang Chao had not met you, he would have been devoured by the Cursed Demon in about a month. But now that he has met you, he has a chance. You pull out the spirit of the Cursed Demon every now and then. As long as you interrupt the process of his possession of Huang Chao's body, he will start to possess Huang Chao again. Repeating this continuously will always buy time for Huang Chao." said the Great Freedom Demon.

This is a solution, but it will only cause trouble for yourself.

"Is there a better way?" Zhang Chen asked.

The Great Freedom Demon shook his head: "This is the last resort. If you can't do it, then everyone will be in trouble in the future."

Zhang Chen scratched his head when he heard this. How could there be such a horrible trouble in the world?
And this trouble happened to me.

Time passed by little by little, and as the spirit of the cursed demon was pulled out, the yellow tide gradually calmed down, quietly accommodating the origin of the curse and merging with the origin of the curse.

"Now that Huang Chao has mastered the origin of the Cursed Demon God, can he lift the curse for me?" A thought flashed through Zhang Chen's mind.

The Great Freedom Demon sensed the fluctuations in Zhang Chen's thoughts, so he nodded: "Of course."

"Really?" Zhang Chen was overjoyed when he heard that.

"Of course you can, but it requires it to fully contain the power of the Cursed Demon God and reach the level of 'fruit'." said the Great Freedom Demon.

"It's the same as saying nothing." Zhang Chen rolled his eyes and waited for the yellow tide to be smelted.

As time passed, the black liquid gradually disappeared, and Huang Chao's face began to turn red. The cursed demon spirit over there seemed to sense something was wrong and wanted to return immediately to take back control of his own home, but was held back by Zhang Chen and could not get close to Huang Chao at all.

Seeing the last bit of black liquid being absorbed, the Great Freedom Demon said, "If I were you, I would release its spiritual source now. Otherwise, Huang Chao would think too much when he wakes up and think you are blackmailing him."

Zhang Chen nodded upon hearing this, thinking that what the Great Freedom Demon said made sense, and he directly loosened the chains. The next moment, he saw the original spiritual power of the Cursed Demon God directly rush into Huang Chao's body.

"In fact, as Huang Chao merged with the origin of the Cursed Demon God, you can now regard the original spirituality of the Cursed Demon God as the opposite of Huang Chao's two sides, which is commonly known as the dark side, or the dark personality." The Great Freedom Heavenly Demon said: "Huang Chao accommodated the origin of the Cursed Demon God, which is equivalent to accommodating that wisp of immortal spirituality."

"The dark side?" Zhang Chen seemed to be thinking about it. He probably understood what Mahadeva said.

I guess this is what later generations call schizophrenia, right?
"What a great opportunity and fortune. Huang Chao will be extremely powerful in the future." Zhang Chen looked at Huang Chao lying on the ground with a hint of emotion in his eyes.

"What? Are you jealous? If I give you this opportunity, do you dare to take it?" The Great Freedom Demon mocked from the side.
