Devouring Evil Martial Arts, Eliminating Demons from All Heavens

Chapter 170 Consuming Essence, Fu Bo Lei

【Essence-Eating Ghost: Having fought countless battles throughout its life, it devoted itself solely to serving me. After death, its resentment lingers, and it devours human essence to nourish its soul.

Characteristics: It can fly and roam freely, unaffected by sunlight. It can absorb the vital energy of others from mid-air, using the dissipated yang energy of the masses to infiltrate and disrupt the yang energy of martial artists, thus facilitating its absorption.

On a bright and sunny morning, Chu Tianshu checked his token once again.

The evil spirit that Chen Zuqi transformed into after his death was truly of extraordinary quality.

If this were in Chu Tianshu's hometown, such an evil spirit, unafraid of sunlight, roaming around causing chaos, would definitely cause quite a stir.

However, Chu Tianshu always suspected that even the spirit-devouring ghosts existed in this world.

If it doesn't find a good place to stay in time and is instead sucked into the misty realm, it won't last long.

Given the depth of Chen Zuqi's resentment and the abundance of his distracting thoughts, and the fact that he no longer had a physical body to practice the techniques he had developed in his previous life, it was difficult to determine the outcome.

If one were to enter the Misty Cloud Realm, one would likely have to endure the constant assault of hundreds or thousands of waves.

There was no vital energy for him to absorb in that misty realm, so his attempt to use the method of borrowing power to push back the misty realm was unlikely to be effective for long.

However, Chu Tianshu had already read the annotations on the Spirit-Eating Ghost.

He summoned his token this morning, still wanting to check the fate column.

In the past few days, the progress of the Qi number column has been increasing.

If this were Chu Tianshu, who was traveling through time for the first time, his current fate would be enough to send him back to his hometown.

However, the stronger he is, the more life force he consumes to travel through time.

The current progress of the Qi Shu column has only reached about 60% of the standard for crossing over.

If Chu Tianshu grows stronger fast enough, it feels like he could have a race with the life-giving energy progress bar.

However, in the past few days, his rate of growth has been far slower than the rate at which his destiny has increased.

“In these worlds, I only need to return after three days once I reach the standard, so it doesn’t matter.”

"However, back in my hometown, they give me ten days each time I meet the criteria for crossing."

"If I make some major breakthrough during those ten days, and the original standards are no longer sufficient for me to transcend, I wonder how the token will react..."

Chu Tianshu sat at the stone table, held up a large bowl with both hands, drank the sweet porridge, and let his mind wander for a while.

First, the milk is simmered with ingredients to remove any fishy smell, then sugar is added and cooked to make a milk porridge that is full of milky flavor.

When Chu Tianshu went to get the porridge, he went a little early. The rice in the porridge was not yet fully cooked, and each grain was distinct.

When you chew it, you can also feel the aroma of the grains.

He likes to drink this kind of porridge with a thick soup but not mushy rice.

Xiahou Feishan walked into the courtyard and saw the large bowl in his hand, so he sighed softly.

Chu Tianshu glanced at him sideways: "Haven't you regained your appetite yet?"

Xiahou Feishan said listlessly, "I still don't really want to eat anything."

That day, Chu Tianshu exchanged a move with Chen Zuqi, separated by Xiahou and Miaofan.

Although the power of the "Heavenly Hanging Divine Skill" had been adjusted to be very gentle, Chen Zuqi was still trying his best to cause damage.

In that fight, Miao Fan was severely injured, and his internal organs were displaced.

Xiahou Feishan also suffered minor damage to his stomach, intestines, and the meridians in his hands.

"Your prescription is quite effective."

Xiahou Feishan sat down at the stone table. “These past few days, I’ve only felt like eating when I drink the medicine you prescribed.”

"This is the first time I've ever discovered that medicinal soup can be sweet and sour."

Chu Tianshu slurped up a mouthful of porridge and exhaled, "That's because the medicinal herbs themselves are of good quality."

“If I hadn’t made a move that day, Miao Fan would have died. Even if it were just Miao Fan fighting Chen Zuqi alone, he would still have died.”

"Your injury played a crucial role in saving the abbot, and the monks took great care in selecting the medicinal herbs for you."

Xiahou Feishan watched him eat with relish and asked with a hint of envy, "And what about you?"

"You vomited several mouthfuls of blood later that day, what injury did you sustain?"

Chu Tianshu put down the bowl of porridge and wiped his mouth. "I'm injured all over."

What he said is true.

That day, he used his palm strike to penetrate Chen Zuqi's bones and meridians.

It's like drawing a knife to cleave water; the knife is sharp and fast, and although it hits the target, the water still rushes over.

However, Chen Zuqi's bones weren't that tough; he couldn't withstand the damage after a while.

Chu Tianshu's bones are very hard, and his skin is very tough.

Even though the damage he absorbed by turning to his feet wasn't much due to the intense fighting, it was still distributed throughout his body.

As a result, many of his capillaries ruptured.

Those few mouthfuls of blood were actually him controlling his body, circulating his stagnant blood, concentrating it in his mouth, and spitting it out in one go.

Therefore, the quantity appears quite large, which is quite frightening.

However, he was still able to go down the mountain afterwards and take away the head of the Japanese pirate steward.

This shows that his injury was not particularly serious.

These past few days, he has been giving himself acupuncture every night and has also made a set of pills coated with sugar powder, which he takes three times a day. His injuries have almost fully recovered.

Chu Tianshu pointed his left hand like a sword and tapped his chest twice, then moved it down from his right shoulder to his right wrist.

The internal energy accelerated within the meridians, and several twisting blue light beams gradually appeared on the right palm.

When the light flashed, it was silent and the light and shadow were both blue, unlike real lightning.

Xiahou Feishan's eyelids twitched involuntarily: "It's not surprising that internal energy can strike people as if they've been struck by lightning, but I've never heard of anything that can actually unleash lightning before. What kind of skill is this?"

"This is the Heavenly Divine Skill, the Palm Thunder and the Indra Claw."

Chu Tianshu pondered for a moment and said, "The most important thing is still the Hanging Heaven Divine Skill, which can be considered as a matching move that I created for the Hanging Heaven Divine Skill."

The Heavenly Skill is an internal skill, and it doesn't contain much information about specific moves.

Feng Jianhua himself only used Xingyi Bagua sword technique as a foundation, and honed his sword skills in actual combat.

The specific method is to feel that in actual combat with a sword, you should exert force in a certain area, and then channel your internal energy to that area to increase the force.

It's a very simple yet enviable way of using it.

It is precisely because the internal energy of the Hate Heaven Skill is of high purity that, when practicing it, one must follow a fixed route.

But when it's actually used, it can fill any meridian or part of the flesh.

Ordinary internal martial arts, when practiced and used, can only be limited to certain meridians.

"This move of mine is something that no other practitioner of the Indra Claw technique in Shaolin can replicate at all. It seems like it should be given a new name."

Chu Tianshu thought for a moment, "Let's call it Thunderous Qi Subduing Waves."

The Kunpeng lies hidden in the abyss, yet it has not yet appeared in the world, but already a great wave is rising.

Thunderous energy first lurks within the waves.

"You're so leisurely, you even have time to name your moves!"

Xiahou Feishan sighed, "I see you are a fine young man in the prime of your life, yet you spend every day with these bald men. Don't you find it strange?"

"Sigh, I only killed a dozen or so Japanese pirates in the mountains that day, and you took the head of the strongest one."

"I'm so far from the goal outlined in the contract. How much longer am I supposed to stay in this monastery?"

Chu Tianshu laughed and said, "What's your hurry?"

"The eight provinces of Fujian have been largely pacified, but the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions are still under control."

Xiahou Feishan asked, "Then when will we deal with the Japanese pirates in those areas?"

"The timing is quite good now."

Chu Tianshu's eyes flickered slightly, and he stood up. "Alright, come with me to see that imperial envoy first."
