From the waste of spiritual roots to the practice of asking the devil.

The Heavenly Desolate Demon Army, a massive force that surrounded the area from the southwest among the eighteen armies, consisted of nearly 500,000 cultivators with an average strength at the fifth-level Nascent Soul stage, and one of its captains was at the Void Refinement stage.

at that time.

The leader of the team, Demon Lord of Demon Flame, was chatting with several late-stage Dao Integration cultivators beside him.

"Commander, what is the origin of this Demon Horn Sect that even a powerful figure like King Zhenyan is willing to serve it?"

"True Flame King?"

The Demon Lord of Demonic Fire shook his head.

"This Flame Demon is only one person, and any one of the eighteen commanders could take him down. The real problem lies with that mysterious cult leader."

"At the very least, they must be those who have condensed the Dao Fruit. If they have already transcended the tribulation, things may still change on this trip."

"Tribulation?"

Several demon generals in the late stage of the Dao Integration Realm, who were responsible for providing assistance, looked at each other in bewilderment. For the demon race, the ninth-order tribulation was a special threshold.

The part about one's state of mind was particularly difficult to get through.

therefore.

Once you encounter a ninth-tier old demon with three or more tribulations, an extremely tragic and vicious event will definitely occur. This is all due to the caution and vigilance brought about by experience.

"Speaking of which, Lord Tianhuang has already calculated the exact location of the Star Devouring Imperial Palace, so why doesn't he personally take action to capture it?"

"Look at what you're saying. If the Realm Lord has to do everything personally, then what's the point of having us, the Heavenly Desolate Demon Army?"

“That’s not what I meant. That’s… the Star Devouring Imperial Palace! Is it something that ordinary demons can occupy? I’m worried that we’re just cannon fodder in this experiment.”

The Demon General's guess was correct.

The Demon Lord of Demon Flame sighed inwardly. The Imperial Palace was equivalent to a great world, and its status in the hearts of the demons was like that of the Vast Immortal Palace to the human race.

Even a world that has been destroyed and abandoned.

To obtain the imperial palace within as a cultivation abode is considered an unparalleled honor by the demon race.

This siege of the Star Devouring Imperial Palace was carried out according to the instructions of the Heavenly Desolate Realm Lord, to test the strength of the Demon Horn Sect and to see if it was confirmed that there was a super strong person behind it.

It can be basically determined that it is a piece that exists.

If not... then just wipe them out to prevent the spread of rumors detrimental to the Blood Spirit Royal Family. If problems arise in the Borderlands, the Lord of the Heavenly Wasteland will be held responsible.

"Stop arguing."

Seeing that the discussion was gradually going astray, the Demon Lord of Demon Fire stopped the generals from arguing and said succinctly.

"You are mainly responsible for battles in the military formation. The strong ones will be handled by the main body. Why be so cautious? Wouldn't that be beneath your dignity? In this desolate world community, no one can stand against the Heavenly Desolate Demon Army!"

Upon hearing this...

The soldiers thought about it and their mentality finally calmed down. Just as they were about to return to their ranks and act arrogantly, the Demon Lord of Demon Fire's expression suddenly changed.

A sharp, urgent shout rang in the ears of the entire demon army: "—Enemy attack!!!"

No sooner said than done.

By the time the 500,000 Heavenly Desolate Demon Army reacted, the world had turned pitch black, as if light had never existed before, a deep and profound darkness.

It was Wang Yu who used the eighth-grade top-quality ancient treasure, the Immortal Locking Tower, to trap this group of demons within the tower's interior.

External void.

The Demon Lord of Demonic Flame, who had managed to escape by sheer luck, had an extremely grim expression. The void tower before him, whose size was unknown, could very well annihilate the entire demon army.

Even if he doesn't die by then, he'll be skinned alive and have his tendons pulled out by the Heavenly Desolate Realm Lord when he gets back, making his life a living hell!

The best course of action now.

Only by apprehending the perpetrator and making amends can the punishment be reduced.

but.

The question is, how did the opponent manage to sneak up on him without his senses? Could it be that he encountered the leader of the Demon Horn Cult?

however.

Before he could ask a question, the other party was exceptionally decisive.

Nine fire phoenixes were born in the void, drawing mysterious sword marks that vaguely formed an extremely bloody and mysterious pattern.

This scene seemed familiar to the Demon Lord of Demonic Fire.

He couldn't recall it for a moment, but the clearly pointed fire phoenix confirmed his target.

"It's you—True Flame King!!!"

The Demon Lord of Demonic Fire glared. Its true form was a fire crow that had fallen into demonic ways and undergone the baptism of demonic bloodline, becoming completely demonized. By chance, it condensed the Dao Fruit of Fire.

Due to issues with foundation and talent, although the Dao Fruit is achieved, it only has two divine effects, one of which is the so-called "fire-sitting effect," which is known as the nemesis of all fires.

At this moment, they faced nine fiery phoenix sword shadows attacking them.

He sat cross-legged in the void, ignoring the flames burning around him. Behind him, a ten-thousand-foot-tall phantom of a fire crow appeared. With a single breath, he instantly neutralized the Fire Phoenix Sword Shadow.

He then unleashed his natal magic weapon, the "Flaming Raven Banner," to unleash the second divine effect of the Dao Fruit—Chasing the Sun!

The great sun rises brilliantly from the void sea.

Countless fire crows transformed into clusters of blazing suns, instantly appearing as if ten thousand suns were rising, sealing off the outermost space and forcing Wang Yu to reveal himself.

Its purpose has been achieved.

Even after being forced to reveal himself, Wang Yu still wore a relaxed smile as he scrutinized the Demon Lord of Demonic Flame.

This made the latter very uncomfortable.

Lin Lie said, "True Flame King, what kind of look is that? The power of the Dao Fruit is beyond your imagination. Now release those Heavenly Desolate Demon Army soldiers and follow me to the Heavenly Desolate Great World to confess your sins. You will still have the opportunity to serve the World Lord."

"--Oh?"

Wang Yu looked surprised.

"You want to recruit me?"

"Why not?"

The Demon Lord of Demon Flame retorted, "Since you are all in the borderlands, you must have made a mistake in the main domain, or offended some important figure. The little Demon Horn Sect is not worth your life-or-death efforts."

Wang Yu grinned: "My dearest friend and family member is the leader."

"I can increase the stakes."

In the dialogue room.

The strange formation formed by the rising sun suddenly began to rotate, and boundless heat and golden flames surged forth, attempting to launch a sneak attack during Wang Yu's moment of contemplation.

pity.

Wang Yu had long been on guard against the Demon Lord of Demonic Fire.

"You clown, you actually took my joke seriously."

He finished speaking.

In an instant, he transformed into countless shadows, rushing into the myriad suns. The moment he activated the Sun Dao Fruit, the Demon Lord of Demonic Flame was shocked to realize that he could no longer sense his natal demonic treasure.

Furthermore, they lost control of the Myriad Suns Refining Immortal Array.

"this……

"This is impossible!"

however.

What happened next was even more outrageous. Just as he was trying to mobilize his Dao Fruit to take back everything, a phantom demonic hand flashed past in his inner cave.

In less than a fraction of a second, even the Dao fruit he had painstakingly cultivated vanished.

He doesn't understand.

How could such supernatural power exist in the world... If the Dao Fruit could be taken away, then there would be no cultivators in the Great Ascension Perfection to Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal range in the world.

Because once one cultivates to the point of attaining the Dao Fruit, it will inevitably be taken away by a more powerful True Immortal, precisely because the Dao Fruit contains a strong personal imprint.

This involves understanding and reflecting on the principles.

It is also highly individualistic. If one rashly refines it, one may be affected, and even one's way of thinking and personality may become similar to the owner of the Dao Fruit.

Until you completely become a different person.

This process, which can be described as "Tao transformation," is irreversible, but this refers to the situation where the weak devour the strong. If the strong bully the weak, the Tao fruit is also an excellent resource.

Some ninth-order holy pills and tenth-order immortal pills require Dao fruits as materials to endow the pills with a complete law, thereby achieving various wonderful effects.

It also has the effect of assisting in comprehending the laws.

As long as it is not swallowed whole but is carefully processed, and those private insights into the laws are used as a reference, the effect is still extremely good and it is not easy to affect oneself.

all in all.

There are many ways to utilize Dao Fruits, but devouring and refining them is a relatively inefficient method with significant side effects, which is why very few people study this kind of secret technique.

On the contrary, recipes for elixirs and implements related to the Dao Fruit were constantly being created.

The Demon Lord of Demonic Fire's despair at this moment.

Like a skinny young man cornered by nine burly men, the failure of the Dao Fruit was like a hammer blow, almost suffocating him.

The ensuing backlash, and Wang Yu's fatal blow, plunged him into an eternal slumber.

"Is that all the tricks you have?"

Wang Yu tossed the Fire Path Fruit symbol that he had conjured in his hand, then put it into a treasure box made of exquisite divine jade, and placed a spacetime restriction on it to preserve it.

He had looked up information about the Celestial Palace.

When the Demon Lord ventured into the Primordial Demon Realm, he received many benefits from the Demon Clan's Dao Fruits, which enabled him to create the "Dao Fruit Alchemy Technique." One of the pills in the technique is called the "Dao Tribulation Saint Pill."
Its effects are incredibly practical, truly averting calamity.

This corresponds perfectly to the ninth-order Tribulation Transcending stage of cultivation, which can weaken the coming tribulations by several times. If he obtains nine Dao Tribulation Saint Pills, Wang Yu is even confident that he can break through to the sixth tribulation stage in one go.

Today it is today.

Over a hundred years ago, Wang Yu had to use all his skills to deal with a Thunder-Swallowing Beast that had condensed a Dao Fruit, and he almost died.

Now, with just a slight movement, he can defeat opponents who were once difficult to face head-on. His progress is so great that ordinary cultivators can hardly imagine it.

This is the improvement that time has brought to Wang Yu.

This barely made up for his young age.

Subsequently.

His attention returned to the Immortal Locking Tower, where the 100,000 demonic troops he had brought were fighting against the 500,000 Heavenly Desolate Demonic Army within the tower's interior. This was something he had arranged long ago.

Whether he wins or not is another matter, as long as he can win.

This demon army can naturally win, using the same method as before—directly plundering high-level resource points—to be honest, they're giving out a bit too many benefits.

To acquire resources without using one's own hands.

How could they possibly understand the hardships of the process? Therefore, in order to show his favor, Wang Yu specially ordered the demon army to send them off first, and the 50,000 demon soldiers who survived last time reaped a considerable reward.

It can arm itself to another level.

After this fierce battle, through the process of natural selection, a batch of elite demon soldiers will be forged. Even if the strength is insufficient, Wang Yu still has the "Blood Sea Military Manual" which can be slightly modified to transform demon cultivators into Dao soldiers.

As for future potential or anything else, it's not even considered. As long as one's fighting spirit is up to par, they can stay.

in this way.

Wang Yu waited for a full quarter of an hour, and when only 30,000 of the 100,000 demon army remained and were on the verge of collapse, he appeared as if a divine soldier had descended from the heavens.

Without saying a word, they wiped out all the enemies in an instant.

Blood pills were made from the enemy's blood and distributed to the 30,000 surviving elites to help them recover from their injuries and increase their cultivation. Almost all the demons gained a small level of strength after their injuries were healed.

This phenomenon left Wang Yu speechless.

'Could this be a shared bloodline talent among the demon race?'

They fight to sustain themselves, growing stronger with each battle.

Only those demons who survive and are destined to become high-level cultivators are qualified to become enemies of the top forces in multiple universes!
Such a bloodline talent is truly enviable.

but.

At this stage, Wang Yu will no longer easily use the Heavenly Demon Seizing Dao technique. He has already occupied five of the ten positions: Blood Flying, Ice Phoenix, Star God, Ancestral Dragon, and Qilin.

Of the remaining five slots, he only wants those with the bloodline of the Immortal Realm!
Unless he has the corpse of a Demon Emperor to devour and seize the Dao, he wouldn't bother to even glance at an ordinary demon, even if they reached the level of a top-grade True Spirit.

The current plan can be slightly modified.

Combining the methods he had previously created, "The Secret Demon Strategy of All Heavens" and "The Blood Sea Scripture," Wang Yu added some mystical elements to the Daoist military methods and the Great Dao Golden Chapter.

He created a ninth-tier cultivation technique—the [Minor Devouring Scripture].

It was distributed as a reward.

This technique allows for better utilization of the advantages of the demon bloodline, maximizing the characteristic of using battle to sustain battle, and devouring targets of the same origin from three aspects: physical body, primordial spirit, and magical power.

This allows one to rapidly improve their cultivation level.

The concept of "targets of the same origin" was broadened by Wang Yu; any cultivator of the same clan could be a target for devouring. However, if one did not comprehend the true meaning behind it, the impurities might affect one's future cultivation path.

This method also has certain requirements.

At the initial stage of cultivation, one can only devour blood relatives, such as Wang Yu's actions when cultivating the Demon Embryo. Once one reaches a minor level of mastery, one can devour one's own kind, such as the Golden Ring Demon Clan, which can only devour other Golden Ring Demon Clan members.

Reaching the pinnacle means being able to devour any demon, and once perfected, one will devour everything, with any living being becoming a miraculous elixir to enhance one's own strength.

It brought demonic nature and the law of devouring to their extreme.

of course.

This is only the main effect of the technique. There are also many hidden techniques and secret magic techniques that influence the cultivator's personality. The higher the cultivation level, the more they will worship Wang Yu as an object of faith.

This is a practice of using tricks within the training method.

Not every cultivator can do this. Although cultivators who have reached the Dao Integration stage have already begun to forge their own path, it is fixed. Even if there are derivatives, they will not deviate too far from the original core.

Wang Yu, on the other hand, was well-versed in the vast Daoist canon, and had mastered so many perfect cultivation methods and secret techniques that he couldn't even remember them all. Creating cultivation methods was something he could do with ease.

He belongs to the type of cultivator who creates methods.

Only those with extraordinary comprehension possess this ability.

Closer to home.

After dealing with this Heavenly Desolate Demon Army, Wang Yu moved on to another battlefield where he was blocked. According to the Demon Lord's plan, he just needed to repel the Heavenly Desolate Demon Army.

But how could Wang Yu possibly satisfy that?

Eighteen wild Dao Fruits were delivered to our doorstep. Even if we only got half of them, it would be excellent. Before our target could react, we should seize the opportunity to gain more spoils as quickly as possible.

And so.

Wang Yu immediately set up a miniature star gate, stepped into it, and instantly disappeared into the empty void.

After several days of this arduous journey.

After four of the eighteen Heavenly Desolate Demon Army units were lost, the Heavenly Desolate Great World finally reacted and urgently sent a message to the remaining fourteen teams.

This left many high-ranking members of the sects who were preparing to fight completely baffled.

At first, I thought the intelligence was wrong.

When the Demon Lord gathered all the cultivators for a new meeting, he learned of a shocking piece of news.

The name of Zhenyan Wang truly became incredibly renowned within the Demon Horn Sect, and his appointment as "Executive Vice Leader" was fully confirmed.

Meanwhile, in the Flame Demon Realm… (End of Chapter)
