Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 402 The Great Bewitching Technique!

Sure enough, the next moment, Gu Yuan suddenly froze, his expression stiffened, and he looked dazed and dumbfounded.

He stood motionless, his expression shifting between fear and joy, as if he were trapped in some kind of illusion.

"Hmph, I thought this kid had some skills, but it turns out he's nothing special..."

Seeing this, Nightmare Child sneered and with a wave of his hand, a wisp of black energy transformed into a blade of light that slashed toward Gu Yuan.

puff!

Without a doubt, Gu Yuan was cleaved in two by the blade, blood splattering everywhere, his body lying dead on the spot.

"Heh... No matter how cunning you are, you'd be better off falling into my trap..."

Seeing this, Nightmare's sneer deepened.

However, at that moment, a dazzling sword light flew out from the corpses on the ground.

This sword light was incomparably sharp, trailing a long tail of light, containing a ferocious killing intent capable of slaying ghosts and gods without restraint.

Nightmare's expression changed drastically, because the power contained in this sword light had startled him, causing his natal demon god to issue a series of warnings!
However, it was too late for him to react.

Because after Gu Yuan's mutilated body fell to the ground, he subconsciously relaxed his vigilance a bit, and the sword light was too sharp and fast, and too close to him, so he couldn't react at all.

laugh--

As the sword light flashed, Nightmare Child screamed in agony as his entire body was pulverized by the sword light, turning into a pile of minced meat. However, a black light flew out from within and quickly fled into the distance.

This black light was clearly a distorted figure, formless yet tangible. Judging from its appearance, it was the image of a gloomy middle-aged man, but his face exuded a strong demonic aura.

It is the Nightmare Child's natal demon god—the Nightmare Demon God!
Within the demonic path, some cultivators practice methods that are not the orthodox Golden Core path, but rather the path of gods and demons.

This path of gods and demons emphasizes using flesh, blood, bones, soul, emotions, desires, and even zombies and vengeful ghosts to refine various kinds of Yin Demons. The cultivator then subdues and refines these into their own innate Yin Demon.

These Yin Demons possess various supernatural powers and spells. Once they are sublimated, they can advance to the Golden Core realm, which is the realm of innate divine demons, comparable to a Golden Core Grandmaster.

Furthermore, because of the unpredictable and mysterious nature of their innate divine and demonic powers, they often possess astonishing combat strength and are not easy to deal with.

Furthermore, cultivators who practice the path of gods and demons often have a significant advantage—even if their physical bodies are destroyed, their innate gods and demons can still escape.

This is practically like having an extra life!

Of course, heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang, and there is always gain for loss.

While this kind of innate deity or demon has many benefits, the process of cultivating it is extremely arduous, even painful, and incredibly dangerous.

Even the slightest problem can become a matter of life and death.

Many demonic cultivators who practice this path often find themselves defeated and killed by the fierce, cruel, and cunning Yin Demons in the process of subduing them, their cultivation completely turned into nourishment for the Yin Demons.

Ultimately, this resulted in the world losing a cultivator but gaining a demon!
However, Gu Yuan certainly wouldn't let this demon leave.

Just as the demonic shadow was about to disappear into the dense forest, a figure suddenly blocked Nightmare's path.

It was clearly the appearance of a handsome young man, and it was Gu Yuan's face.

"Damn boy!"

Nightmare was filled with hatred upon seeing this scene. He knew perfectly well that the Gu Yuan from before was either a clone of Gu Yuan or an illusion!
Without hesitation, Nightmare unleashed a streak of light.

This stream of light appeared dark and indistinct, yet it radiated a seven-colored spiritual light, possessing a strange and mesmerizing quality. This spiritual light was none other than his fundamental divine power—the Great Bewitching Divine Technique!
It can not only bewitch people's minds and souls, but also trap them in a dream. Of course, once Gu Yuan is affected by this supernatural power, he will probably find it difficult to break free for a while.

Then Nightmare Child can take ruthless measures and eliminate the root of the problem!
Even if he didn't resort to destroying the physical body, he could still delve into the dream world himself and severely injure or even kill Gu Yuan within it.

If Gu Yuan dies in the dream, the real-world Gu Yuan will also suffer the same injuries and die.

The miners and even the cultivators before them all died because of this, and even their souls became nourishment for Nightmare Child to refine his natal demon god.

This time, however, Nightmare misjudged his opponent!

Gu Yuan stood motionless, letting the Great Bewitching Technique shine upon him, and then...

He remained motionless, his mind clear and his eyes bright, still coldly staring at Nightmare Child.

"How can it be?!"

Nightmare Child was somewhat stunned, unable to understand why his Great Bewitching Technique had lost its effect.

However, in the instant he was distracted, another red streak of light flew over, rapidly expanding into a furnace larger than a house, emitting a rich, dark red light, with many faint flames flickering within.

At the same time, a powerful devouring force emanated from it, enveloping Nightmare Child!

Nightmare Child is no longer in a physical body, and this sudden devouring force is too unexpected.

Nightmare Child emitted a surge of demonic energy from his body, attempting to resist.

However, under Gu Yuan's full-force activation of the Nine Dragon Furnace, he only had time to hold on for two breaths before being sucked into the furnace.

Clang!

Immediately afterwards, the furnace lid was slammed shut, unleashing all the binding, sealing, and suppressing power within, which suppressed the Nightmare Child inside, rendering it completely immobile.

Immediately afterwards, a ball of dark red true fire appeared, enveloping the entire Nightmare God and Demon and beginning to melt it.

Gu Yuan raised his hand and summoned the Nine Dragon Furnace, which quickly shrank and flew into his hand.

After observing for a moment, Gu Yuan revealed a smile:

"Not bad, not bad. This guy's cultivation has reached the Golden Core stage. His origin is abundant. If I refine it, he might actually be able to refine a miraculous pill that would benefit me."

Next, Gu Yuan activated his true fire and began to work hard to smelt it.

In fact, in Gu Yuan's opinion, although this Nightmare Child was dangerous and not a good thing, the Taoist scriptures and supernatural powers cultivated by this demon were quite special.

The Nightmare God and Demon that this person cultivated was essentially formed by fusing more than a dozen supernatural powers into several rare Yin Demons.

Moreover, among these dozen or so supernatural abilities, there are top-tier supernatural abilities such as the Great Bewitching Divine Technique, as well as several other special high-grade supernatural abilities related to the soul, dreams, and illusions.

These supernatural powers work together and merge to form the Nightmare God and Demon.

If Gu Yuan hadn't possessed the Nine Dragon Furnace, even with his astonishing combat power, he would never have been able to capture and imprison it within.

At most, we can only severely injure it; even killing it is not easy.

Capturing it alive would be more than ten times more difficult!
After all, one's innate divine or demonic nature is tangible but intangible, and unless it is a special fire magic, thunder magic, or pure yang Taoist magic, it will hardly cause much damage.
