Chapter 172 The Power of the Demon-Suppressing Disc!
hum!
The Black Emperor Subduing Demon Diagram, which was fused into the deepest part of Wu Ming's primordial spirit, was stirred by Wu Ming's action. The surface of the painting, which had been calm and unchanged for countless years, suddenly rippled slightly.

Immediately afterwards, an invisible force surged up and instantly manifested in front of Wu Ming's primordial spirit. It was a peculiar compass, jet black in color, with some patterns on it, but it did not look strange at all.

"This is……"

After Wu Ming awakened a wisp of demon-subduing power from the Demon-Subduing Diagram, he was unaware of its subsequent effects. This demon-subduing power was not under his control, and its manifestation as this strange compass left him somewhat bewildered.

But after the thought flashed through his mind, he immediately remembered that this strange compass seemed to be a pendant on the waist of the black emperor statue, which was not particularly noticeable in the whole Demon Subduing Diagram.

boom!
The next moment, the demonic light released by the sixth-order Great Demon King crashed onto the strange compass that had been projected, producing a buzzing vibration that caused visible ripples to appear in the surrounding air.

Strangely, the ripples were limited to the front of the compass; the back remained completely unchanged. Wu Ming's primordial spirit did not feel any impact, as if all the power had been swallowed up by this unassuming compass.

"Ok?"

"What's this."

Upon seeing this, the sixth-tier Great Demon King immediately showed a hint of surprise.

With Wu Ming's mere cultivation level of the fourth stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm, no matter what spells he used or what magical treasures he activated, he would never be able to withstand Wu Ming's casual strike. However, what was happening before his eyes at this moment left him somewhat stunned.

"interesting."

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the three faces of a boy, a middle-aged man, and an old man growing on the body of the Great Demon King all revealed an expression of great interest. Then, he raised his sleeves and suddenly waved them.

In an instant, a terrifying demonic power erupted, vast and mighty, directly causing the nearby rock layers to crack and shatter. At the same time, a deep, dark demonic aura, as profound as the darkness of all things in the world, surged out from his sleeves.

"Devouring Demonic Light!"

The Great Demon King let out a soft hum, and then his sleeves moved forward. The demonic energy containing intense pressure collapsed and condensed, transforming into an extremely deep black light that burst forth towards Wu Ming and the floating compass projection.

Originally, there was no light in this mountain cave; it was an endless darkness. But this beam of black light seemed to be even more profound than the darkness without light. Wherever it went, everything seemed to be swallowed up. Even from Wu Ming's perspective, all he could see was a beam of black light that was devouring everything.

Although he saw the black light coming, he couldn't dodge it. On one hand, the black light was extremely fast, far exceeding the speed of his primordial spirit. On the other hand, at the moment the black light burst forth, the demonic power within the cave expanded further, suppressing his primordial spirit as if it were trapped in a quagmire, unable to move.

Time seemed to slow down.

at last,

The black light landed on the compass.

But as the great demon king had predicted, the scene of the entire compass projection being shattered by a single blast did not occur. Instead, the entire beam of black light went straight into the compass without causing a ripple, and everything returned to deathly silence.

"This is impossible!"

Upon seeing this, the Great Demon King's three faces finally revealed expressions of shock.

The Devouring Demon Light he unleashed was not an ordinary means of attack, but rather the innate divine power of their Abyss Demon Clan. It had the effect of devouring everything and constantly multiplying and spreading. However, this beam of Devouring Black Light not only failed to destroy the strange compass projection summoned by Wu Ming, but was instead devoured by the compass itself!
And at this time,
The pitch-black compass projection, which had absorbed two attacks from the Great Demon King, finally showed a slight reaction. A ray of light appeared on the surface of the compass, and a corner of the secret pattern could be vaguely seen. This corner of the secret pattern was almost indescribable. It surpassed all the Daoist secret patterns that Wu Ming had ever seen so far. Its complexity was such that even if all the secret patterns he knew were combined into one place and then multiplied by dozens or hundreds of layers, they would still be far inferior to it.

hum!
The moment the light of the secret runes appeared, an indescribable aura descended.

"……Um?"

The sixth-order Great Demon King, shocked, vaguely sensed something was wrong. Although he was a demon, he was cunning and cautious by nature, which allowed him to get to where he was today. Seeing the strange situation, he immediately retracted his demonic body, transformed into a cloud of demonic energy, and tried to escape from the cave and get away from here.

However, by then, it was too late.

Swish.

From within the compass, silvery-white chains suddenly extended out. These chains were invisible and intangible, piercing through the void and instantly arriving beside the great demon king, where they firmly locked him in place!

"what!"

Once the great demon king was bound by the silver chains, it let out a painful scream. Disbelief filled all three faces as its demonic body struggled frantically, trying to break free of the chains, but to no avail. Instead, it was tightly bound by the chains, shrinking smaller and smaller. Then, the chains swiftly retracted, pulling the great demon king deeper into the compass.

"What is this! What on earth is this?!"

The Great Demon King was squeezed into a black mass the size of a head by the chains. He let out a horrified cry and struggled with all his might, but to no avail. Finally, he was dragged to the compass and torn into strands of dark, gloomy demonic energy by the chains, which were continuously injected into the compass.

"No! No, no, no!!"

He let out a series of strange cries, and as the last wisp of demonic energy was swallowed by the compass, the sound finally stopped abruptly.

That final voice was filled with horror, fear, and resentment. He was born from a demonic seed, struggled for countless years, and transformed step by step to become a fifth-order demon king. Now he has even transformed into a sixth-order great demon king. He should have let his demonic power awe the world, but before he could be born, he was inexplicably suppressed here.

No matter how unwilling or horrified he was, it was all in vain and he couldn't change the outcome.

After the great demon king was suppressed, the strange compass projection in the void did not seem to have changed much, except that the texture on its surface seemed to have become a little brighter.

quickly,

The projection of the compass gradually faded and disappeared.

There was no trace of demonic energy left in the entire cave. The terrifying, overwhelming demonic power that had previously suppressed Wu Ming's primordial spirit to the point of immobility had also vanished without a trace.

As everything disappeared, Wu Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of relief at surviving a disaster.

"Impressive... truly impressive..."

After summoning the projection of that strange compass, he could only watch from the sidelines as the compass and the great demon king fought, unable to intervene at all. As a result, the sixth-tier great demon king was completely defeated.

Even a projection of a strange compass pattern on the Black Emperor's Demon Subduing Diagram seems to be beyond the capabilities of this sixth-tier Great Demon King. However, this compass projection is not under his control and will only passively kill demons.

If they encounter demons, human warriors, or cultivators of the Nascent Soul stage, it's uncertain whether this compass projection will still be useful.

at this time,

Wu Ming's thoughts returned to the depths of his primordial spirit, and he activated the "Soldier" technique, once again communicating with the magnificent Demon-Subduing Diagram.

Even after the Demon-Subduing Diagram had killed a sixth-tier Great Demon King, nothing had changed. However, when Wu Ming activated the Soldier Technique and merged his soul into it, some information quietly entered his consciousness.

"Demon-suppressing plate, demon-subduing pestle, demon-slaying staff, demon-slaying sword..."

Wu Ming carefully pondered the message from the Demon-Subduing Diagram, a thoughtful expression on his face.

The strange compass that had slain the great demon king was named—

Demon-Suppressing Disc!
This is one of the four most powerful treasures in the Black Emperor's Demon-Subduing Diagram. Its main body is located in the deepest part of the Demon-Subduing Realm. At present, it is far from being able to reach the main body of the Demon-Suppressing Plate. It can only influence a wisp of its projection through the Demon-Subduing Diagram itself.

The Demon-Suppressing Disc is not a weapon of slaughter, but a supreme treasure for suppression, and it is only effective against the demon race. With his current level of cultivation, even if he only awakens a wisp of projection, he can easily suppress a sixth-order Great Demon King!
and,

The Demon-Suppressing Disc also has other characteristics.

After suppressing the great demon king, the Demon Suppression Plate contained a portion of the great demon king's power. By consuming this portion of power, he was able to mobilize a portion of the power of another supreme treasure, the 'Demon-Subduing Pestle,' and make it manifest a projection!
Compared to the Demon-Suppressing Disc, which is mainly for suppression and only targets evil spirits, the Demon-Subduing Pestle is completely different. Although it also has stronger power against evil spirits, it is essentially a world-shaking treasure for killing!
With the remaining power of a sixth-tier great demon king, he summoned a projection of the demon-subduing pestle. Although it only had the power of one strike, it might not be able to deal with a sixth-tier great demon king or a martial arts master who had undergone six blood condensations. However, it was very likely that it could kill a fifth-tier demon king or a human master who had undergone five refinements and five blood condensations in one strike!
"good very good!"

After digesting all the information in the Demon-Subduing Diagram, Wu Ming finally showed a look of joy.

Although his current strength is almost invincible among the four refinements and four bloods, and he can even sweep away those top experts and easily suppress even martial artists who have achieved the unity of spirit and body, he is still far from the five refinements and five bloods. Even when facing the weakest five refinements and five bloods experts, it is extremely difficult to fight against them. If he encounters a five-transformation demon king or a five bloods experts like the Black Fiend Sect Master, his life will still be in danger.

But now, with the power of the Vajra Pestle as his trump card, even if he encounters a master of the Five Refinements and Five Blood, he will have full confidence and will not be too afraid!
It has to be said that with the Black Emperor's Demon Subduing Diagram on his person, these abyssal demons that ordinary people would avoid at all costs are almost like lucky bags to him, and he can gain something more or less after opening them.
