Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 224 Soul Searching Technique, Demon Refining Gluttony Array
Leaving aside what kind of life Smith will lead as an infiltrator after he returns, what W Company will do after obtaining the magic circle, and whether they can successfully become a member of the Gluttony Demon King's kin, these questions remain unanswered.

Louis is now on a plane, heading towards Florida.

Soon, the plane landed, and Louis returned to his loyal Orlando.

At the airport, two rows of burly men in black stood respectfully and bowed silently to Louis, who awkwardly dug his toes into the ground, but could only pretend to be cool and get into the car.

I didn't relax until I got on the bus.

The strange gazes from the surroundings were also blocked out by the car door.

"Who prepared this? Don't you feel embarrassed?"

Louis asked in silence.

Sitting in the driver's seat, it was the same familiar personal driver. He smiled, started the car, and asked jokingly, "Young Master doesn't like it?"

Louis's lips curled up slightly. He didn't like it?

how is this possible.

It's actually not bad to be the center of attention, it's just that I'm not used to it and it feels awkward.

Many people work hard to climb up from the bottom or become stars just for this feeling.

Louis shook his head. "It's alright."

Then the topic ended.

The car was parked in front of the house.

open the door.

Louis finds no one at home. Emma, ​​Carrie, and Madison are all at Maria's house, probably having found something fun again.

Put the things away properly.

Louis went to the base.

He's back because he has something to do.

underground base.

Louis sat cross-legged and carefully sensed the situation within his body. He discovered that the projection of the great demon Malthus and the witch spirit Alice were now behaving themselves, one suppressed in the spleen and the other in the heart.

Two beams of Five Elements spiritual light, combined with the Ghost-Devouring Sorcery, were wearing down these two souls.

Apart from that, all the other evil spirits were completely digested, leaving only one lurking evil spirit that Rebecca had devoured in her house, trembling in a corner, seemingly frightened by the other two.

Louis didn't rush to test his magic; instead, he first started reading the Civil Code.

Although the witch Alice was not too dangerous for him this time, it did not mean that she was weak. It was just that she was too specialized, and he just happened to be able to counter her.

No matter what, the other party is a genuine demon-level being.

Not to be underestimated.

Therefore, the Civil Code still offers a new form of inheritance.

However, Louis felt it probably wouldn't be a good legacy.

as predicted.

Two magical techniques were clearly written on the two golden pages.

Soul-searching techniques and soul-summoning techniques.

Soul Searching Technique is a universal technique used by all paths—demonic, evil, and righteous—with differences only in cultivation methods, degree of interference, and whether there are any side effects.

They are essentially the same.

It is a kind of use of Yin spirit power, which is used to forcibly search for information in the other person's soul. It is a very useful technique for torture.

The Soul Searching Technique in the Civil Code is of a decent level and not too difficult to learn. Moreover, it seems that as long as one's own abilities are not too weak, it can even be used at the Yin Spirit stage.

"Hey, this is good stuff."

He had never been able to deal with those demons who were hiding secrets. They were all incredibly stubborn and refused to speak, even when he was burned with poisonous fire. It made him seem like the villain. It was strange that they were all so tough!
Now it's great, we don't need them to talk anymore, we can just put our hands in their brains and stir them up!
Louis sneered and glanced maliciously at the underground level where the demons were stored.

After quickly scanning through the Soul Searching Technique, Louis looked at the second spell—Soul Summoning Technique.

This is not unfamiliar at all.

This is a widely practiced folk custom, also known as "calling back the soul." However, due to differences in local culture and geography, the specific forms of its use vary slightly.

But it generally involves the process of holding the child's personal clothing and shouting.

The summoning ritual here is an advanced version of this one, no longer limited to children, with a wider scope. Similarly, it also places certain requirements on the user.

At least it won't be like the original "child soul-calling spell," where anyone close to the child could use it at will simply by having an object.

The caster must be a sorcerer with magical powers.

This was not a problem for Louis at all.

"These two techniques are of average value, but they are still somewhat useful and can be practiced."

After thinking it over, Louis carefully examined the two spells, his eyes thoughtful.

Fifteen minutes later.

Illusory pale blue hands extended from Louis's body, their palms slightly curled and wriggling, seemingly restless, wanting to rummage into the head of something.

"Haha, that's easy."

Louis had a broad smile on his face.

The learning process for the two techniques was faster and simpler than he had expected.

Perhaps this is one of the benefits of reaching a higher level of understanding?

Louis dismissed the thought, closed his eyes, and began to contemplate refining magic, preparing to formally test the power of this technique.

The Demon Refining Heavenly Heart Method - Demon Refining Chapter.

It focuses on two key aspects: one is the word "refinement," and the other is the word "demon."

The word "refinement" represents specific methods and approaches, and it is also the key point of this core inheritance.

Louis is only just getting started in this area.

As for the "demon" attribute, it all comes down to the materials. The better the materials, the better the refining effect will be.

After going over these ideas in his mind, Louis stood up and went into a special secret room.

soon.

All the demons he has captured since his debut have gathered here.

He has a clown demon named Jack the Clown, which he received from his grandfather Carl. In reality, Jack is a clown demon.

He was fortunate enough to be summoned by the town's cult, but was defeated by Louis and ultimately forced to merge with the believers to become the obscene demon Abram.

There was an Annabelle doll that Louis had been watching for a long time, and which was collected as soon as it appeared—or rather, a projection of the great demon Malthus.

These are the three demons Louis has encountered since his debut.

These are the highlights of today, but they're not the only things on the agenda.

Louis's gaze fell on the stone box next to him, which was engraved with all sorts of intricate patterns, and a wooden box containing special tarot cards.

These two things are equally impressive.

One is an extradimensional stone box containing the soul of the Mayan little moth goddess.

One is a special tarot card created by offering the soul of Erdiki, a demon who has some connection with Satan.

Aside from perfumes, monkey paws, and Jason, these are probably the most valuable items in Louis's current collection.

"Now, let's see if these guys are qualified to be demons."

Louis used his spiritual eyes to observe carefully, employing the selection methods passed down through generations.

At just a glance, Louis's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Pass, pass, pass, and pass again!
No, it's not just about passing!

It could even be considered excellent!

These materials are of very high quality!

Louis smiled. "Very good, looks like I can have some fun now."

Louis then used his severed hand to summon many evil spirits. He eventually discovered that ordinary evil spirits were not unqualified to act as demons, but their effects were minimal. Only the most powerful evil spirits, like the lurking evil spirit inside Louis's stomach, could barely have any effect.

But evil spirits of this caliber don't appear so easily.

Therefore, the devil is still the better choice.

The only concern is whether the summoning ritual will work.

"By the way, how are demons summoned?"

Louis stroked his chin and began to ponder the endless demons in hell.

If you could refine ninety-nine demons from hell, wouldn't you instantly become an immortal?

cool!

Louis's eyes gleamed with a light of greed.

"Phew, let's give it a proper try first."

Louis waved his hand, summoning an evil spirit.

Begin the process of refining magic.

The space between the eyebrows, also known as the Niwan Palace.

Within consciousness.

Louis tried hard to recall the scene he had witnessed that day in the inheritance.

Dark clouds loom overhead, and lightning surges forth.

Countless demons swept from the ground to the sky, but in the sky, only a purple lightning bolt flashed and disappeared, and then the jade sky was clear for thousands of miles!

Louis tried his best to imitate it, feeling that supreme divine power.

soon.

A dark cloud gradually formed in his mind, filled with Louis's random thoughts and desires. Human thoughts are endless, and wild ideas arise anytime and anywhere. So, it was only the first time it appeared.

The dark clouds spread out as quickly as ink.

At this moment, every time Louis had a random thought, endless ideas arose, and dark clouds spread.

And next.

Sparks of lightning flashed in the dark clouds.

That was Louis's conscious will, but unfortunately, under the cover of dark clouds, it only flickered with a little ordinary blue light.

There was absolutely no sense of supreme divine authority.

Within this realm of consciousness, the Divine Monarch Visualization Diagram imperceptibly enveloped and protected Louis's mind like a scroll painting.

At this time.

Louis's mind moved.

The evil spirit then entered the Niwan Palace (a point on the forehead) through the space between the eyebrows.

Boom! !

Thunder roared.

At this moment, Louis's will broke free from the constraints of distracting thoughts and crashed down downwards!

Crack! !
The blue lightning bolts, only as thick as a finger, may not look impressive, but they are actually quite powerful.

The evil spirit, which only had half a skull left, was struck by lightning and lost half of its head. As the lightning flashed, the evil spirit's screams grew louder and louder.

All the black mist was completely purified.

During this refining process.

Louis's cultivation, which had long stagnated, began to improve again, aiming to advance to the Yang God Realm.

pity.

The benefits that an ordinary evil spirit can bring are still too little.

In just a dozen seconds, his soul vanished and nothing remained.

Fortunately, Louis had already made all the necessary preparations.

In reality, Abaram, who had merged with humans and become a demon, was bound, his red vertical pupils coldly staring at Louis, who had his eyes closed, his eyes filled with malice.

It has been trapped in this place for some time.

This human is too mysterious. There's some kind of deity standing behind him, and his own cultivation system is also strange.

It had tried to escape several times during this period, but had no chance. Its magic was also unable to be used smoothly because of this body, so it was still bound here today.

hateful.

At this rate, Lord Mammon's orders will never be fulfilled!

Abaram, one of Mammon's servant demons, was anxious. He knew that he was not the only one among Mammon's minions to have descended into the world!
It was even the weakest one!

Those great demons and demon gods were the true means by which Mammon descended.

If it can't achieve this merit, how can it be promoted to a greater demon? Will it continue to be a servant demon?
No.

can not be like this.

It has served the devil enough!

and so.

Perhaps we could have a chat with this human?
Well, if it doesn't involve those core secrets, I guess it's okay to leak some information for now?
Just as it was thinking that...

A sudden suction force came, and looking up, I saw that a black vortex had opened between the human's eyebrows below the level of spiritual vision, filled with a sense of danger.

For a moment, it even thought that a demon king was inside.

That feeling... it seems a tiny bit similar to that of Mammon, the Demon King... No, no, no, how could that be...

But no matter what, being sucked in would definitely be a terrifying thing!

Don't get sucked in!

Abaram, bound by alloy chains, roared suddenly, no longer hiding. His muscles bulged, and his left demonic arm emitted a red light. Intense heat began to melt the special alloy chains on his body.

but……

Louis opened his eyes.

A bead swiftly and decisively pinned it to the ground, rendering it unable to move.

The most terrifying thing is that this bead is even sucking its blood!
weak……

The demon claw began to shrink at a visible rate; under this pressure, it could no longer resist the attraction of the black vortex.

"Do not!!!"

A fiery red soul was thus extracted from this body and swept into the black vortex.

That physical body returned to Caleb's control once again, which was the original owner of that body.

……

The Niwan Palace, in my mind.

Only Abram, a demon the size of a normal demon's arm, came to this world of consciousness.

It stared in astonishment at the terrifying dark clouds and the faint, deadly lightning within them, completely bewildered. Where was it?
Until lightning struck.

Feeling its soul irreversibly dissipating at this moment, it finally panicked.

"Aaaaaah!!"

Zi La La——

Lightning spread across his body.

This is an attack that goes straight to the heart of the matter, more so than poison and fire magic; it is a transformation that is more efficient and versatile than ghost-eating witchcraft.

But demons are indeed different.

Every spread of lightning and every dissipation of the soul brought Louis ultimate enjoyment, exhilaration, and enlightenment!
The power is increasing!
The bottleneck is being broken!
Even our thoughts are becoming purer!

The dark clouds representing distracting thoughts have also slowed their spread and even begun to wane and shrink.

Louis had a premonition that once he could completely control the clouds and stop them from spreading, it would be time for him to master magic.

And now.

Let's continue to slay demons and gain power.

Crack!

Crack!

"Aaaahhhh——"

With a mournful wail, Abalaam's soul grew smaller and smaller until it finally began to beg for mercy.

"and many more!"

"wait!"

"I'll tell you everything! Human! No! Master!"

"I am a demon servant of Mammon. I know many things about hell. I can help you, just let me live!"

Thunder ignored everything.

Keep chopping.

Abalaam's words gradually changed, from pleading to cursing, from contempt to pleas again.

Until the last moment.

Abalam was reduced to a mere fist-sized phantom soul, and it had fallen silent.

At this moment, Lei Yun stopped what he was doing.

A moment later, an eye made of blue lightning appeared from the thundercloud, staring indifferently at Abaram.

Whoosh! !

A subtle ripple passed by, and two small hands inserted into the red soul, stirring and stirring.

Secrets about hell began to emerge from it.

But just as the two little hands tried to go deeper, the soul suddenly opened its eyes, filled with panic, "No! Demon King!"

boom!
It's like some mechanism was triggered.

The red soul exploded just like that.

All that remained were finger-sized, unconscious red fragments.

Lightning flashed in the dark clouds, and a trace of emotion returned to the lightning's indifferent eyes—it was contemplation.

Just now, after bringing it to the brink of death, he used the Soul Searching Technique, and I must say, this version of the Soul Searching Technique works very well.

They dug up many of Abalaam's memories.

This is a demon that has lived for nearly a thousand years. It is not a fallen angel, nor is it a fallen soul of a living being. It is the purest demon conceived from hell.

Because it was born in the territory of Astimus, one of the Seven Sins—the demon king of lust—it is inherently a demon of obscenity.

After entering the Pandemonium, he was given to the greedy demon king Mammon by Astimus and a group of demons.

Serving others probably took up most of the demon's life, until recently, when the demon king Mammon implemented a plan to send it to the mortal world.

What exactly to do, and what the plan was, were not in the memories I had scrambled through.

Or rather, just as they were about to detect it, the other party exploded.

This is clearly Mammon's doing.

After all, he is a demon king, so he must have control over his subordinates.

What exactly is Mammon trying to do?

Without any information, Louis had no way of figuring it out, but that didn't matter. This guy had exploded, and there were other demons whose brains hadn't been searched yet; there would always be something to be gained.

Besides, Abaram's consciousness is filled with a vast amount of information about the customs and culture of Hell, magic, contracts, how to eat souls more deliciously, how to deceive humans, how to display his abilities as a lewd demon on human souls, and how to serve Mammon...

There was a lot of miscellaneous information, with useful and useless information completely mixed together.

However, there is one characteristic: anything related to Mammon will invariably become missing, even the other person's face will be a blank, and they will be completely unable to recall anything.

These methods are truly befitting of a demon king.

Subsequently.

To avoid being distracted by this information, Louis compressed it into a demonic book and stored it in his mind.

Convenient for reading anytime.

By placing this demonic book, which was destined to grow longer and longer in the future, into a corner of his consciousness, Louis refocused his attention.

The difference between demons and evil spirits is indeed terrifyingly large.

Louis had a feeling that if eight more demons came, he would be able to fulfill the requirement of the Demon Tribulation. After that, he would only need to find a way to generate or find Yang matter to successfully break through to the Yang God Realm.

Nine is the ultimate number, and nine demons—that makes a lot of sense.

However, this meant that Louis's reserves were not enough.

I wonder about the projection of that great demon Malthus, the remains of the Moth God, and the demon Erdiki, who has some connection with Satan...

Could these three things withstand several more demons?

Lightning flashed in his eyes. Louis couldn't wait to start the Demon Refining Technique again. With his current cultivation level and spiritual realm, he could easily refine another demon.

Collect the red souls left behind by Abalam. Although these things have lost their self-awareness and can no longer be used for demonic refinement, their obscene and demonic nature is perfect for practicing enchantment.

There is no spirit more obscene or more suitable than this.

……

Just as Louis embarked on his demon-forging journey.

Company W finally realized what was happening.

It's still that secluded place.

The chairman, with his military bearing, had a gloomy face.

How could an entire special forces unit just fall like that?
hateful!

This is a force capable of easily suppressing countless evil spirits and fighting against demons; each unit is painstakingly trained.

This particular unit is one of his direct subordinates. Although it's not one of the three strongest units in the company, it's still very valuable.

It's gone just like that.

Damn think tanks! Those new capitalists actually have the nerve to tell me that with the help of the internet, think tanks will be more accurate?
I think it'll just make them even more mentally challenged!
Fuck your mother!

Fortunately.

The mission was barely completed; otherwise, I would have really exploded against those think tank personnel and the supporters who had transferred elite troops to protect me!

The chairman looked at the underground laboratory, which was covered with magic circles and was already being prepared, and his eyes flashed with excitement.

Resurrection... and the Gluttonous Familiar...

The company's second goal is actually getting closer than we expected.

"Let the new era arrive quickly."

"Cough, cough, cough."

At this time.

One phone call after another rang.

His expression remained unchanged, as if he had expected this.

Hearing the excited voices of those greedy guys on the other end of the phone, he simply curled his lips into a disdainful smile.

"You just need to wait quietly, I will let you know."

Snapped.

The call was immediately hung up.

He interlaced his fingers, rested his chin on his hand, and stared intently at the monitor in front of him.

Inside, one by one, living sacrifices were placed on the stage.

Blood donation, food, disembowelment, magic circles, occult materials...

A complex magic array began to be constructed.
