Cultivating Immortals in Two Realms, I Possessed the Primordial Thunder Vine

Chapter 17 Devouring the Demonic Path

Without a doubt, this Daoist with three missing features is the most suitable candidate for Xu Changjun to seize the Dao.

First of all, all three are Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators, which perfectly meets the requirements.

Secondly, these three people have been imprisoned for twenty years, and their magical power and divine soul essence have weakened to the extreme and been completely exhausted, making them beings that can be controlled.

If they were at their peak and met head-on, Xu Changjun wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

Third, these three were utterly wicked, sacrificing human lives to refine their demonic bodies. Their blood curse, demonic heart, and golden and silver demonic eyes were all of the same origin, each with its own unique advantages. The three who seized the Dao gained a great deal, and were also acting on behalf of Heaven. Xu Changjun naturally felt no pressure.

"It seems that kid is back again. Looks like he wasn't taught a lesson enough before?"

"Boss, don't be so loud, you'll scare the kids away. Who's going to take us out of here?"

"I must keep this kid's heart; it'll give me years of good pleasure."

Although the Three-Missing Taoist has been suppressed for a long time, the fact that he has survived for twenty years clearly shows that he is no ordinary person, and his temperament and will are beyond ordinary people.

A golden light flashed, and Xu Changjun, having channeled his spirit into the Demon-Slaying Thunder Sword, reappeared.

However, the three of them possessed extraordinary cultivation levels, making them top experts even among Foundation Establishment cultivators. Despite their weakened divine souls, their innate divine senses had been tempered and refined, making them formidable. The Demon-Slaying Thunder Sword was discovered immediately.

In an instant, Xu Changjun felt the world spinning and changing. He felt dizzy and suddenly realized that he was top-heavy and light-footed. A fierce wave of blood spread out from his feet, and above his head hung two huge spheres, one gold and one silver, like the sun and moon. A strong evil thought surged up.

In the center, a huge, beating heart, like the sound of a human skin drum, brings waves of vibration that surge in the space, making one feel as if their heart might jump out at any moment.

Having been ambushed before, Xu Changjun reacted swiftly this time, making thorough preparations before directly activating the Demon-Slaying Thunder Sword. Countless dazzling golden lightning bolts spread out like a spider web, and wherever they passed, all unclean and evil things collapsed.

The divine thunder warded off evil, preventing him from falling into the illusion.

Strands of golden light entwined Xu Changjun's soul, occasionally colliding and dissipating with the upward-surging red threads around him.

With the power of Geng Metal Divine Thunder to slay evil, and its inherent nature being incompatible with its own, it held a commanding position and easily eliminated those bloody demonic energies.

Xu Changjun stared intently at the crimson sea spreading out beneath his feet, the surging blood flowing towards the void and darkness.

Above his head, two golden and silver demonic eyes, the size of the sun and moon, were looking down at him, their eyes filled with malice.

There was also a blood-red heart beating at the center, pounding like a drum, causing blood and qi to flow backward.

Three distinct sources of demonic energy, each distinct yet complementary, enveloped Xu Changjun with a powerful and terrifying aura.

It must be said that this Daoist Sanque truly lived up to his reputation as the invincible demon from twenty years ago. His actions were indeed extraordinary, and even when trapped, he still posed a great danger.

Moreover, the demonic arts they cultivated originated from the same source and complemented each other. Compared to when only the Blood Curse Daoist made a move, their power had increased several times over. Now, with their full strength, they instantly engulfed Xu Changjun in a divine soul illusion, from which he could not escape.

In fact, the Three Lacking Taoists were triplets from the same womb, sharing the same origin. They later fell into the demonic path together. The eldest brother swallowed blood to refine incantations, the second brother ate human eyes, and the third brother devoured hearts. Thus, the three were known as the Three Lacking Taoists.

Because these three Daoists were born of the same mother and shared the same bloodline, and their demonic arts were of the same origin, their attacks were as if they were one person, without any flaws. Even among those of the same level, they were quite formidable.

These three were notorious among demonic cultivators, capable of stopping a child's crying, and had made quite a name for themselves.

The battle that made them famous was the annihilation of a Foundation Establishment family that had been passed down for a hundred years, including three Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the entire family was slaughtered.

He rose to fame in one battle, but was then wanted by major sects. Forced to flee, he fled to Yundong Lake to recover his strength. He then initiated a blood sacrifice, but unexpectedly, he was captured by three major forces, led by the Xu family of Yunlu, and has been imprisoned here ever since.

"Over the past twenty years, the family has likely extracted a considerable amount of value from these three Daoists. The fact that they are still alive clearly indicates there's more to the story. But keeping them locked up here and waiting for them to fend for themselves is pointless. In that case, they are the perfect targets for the Sword Embryo Sacrifice Divine Technique to seize the Dao..."

"This kid's pretty resilient, but with the three of us working together, it shouldn't be long before he's under control..."

Clearly, the Three-Missing Taoist was not worried at all about whether he could win over this junior.

However, before the Demon Eye Daoist could finish speaking, a burst of golden light and lightning flashed, directly cleaving a crack in the void, causing the Divine Soul Illusion to collapse for no reason.

Immediately, golden lightning pierced through the illusion and into the body of the Blood Curse Taoist at the forefront.

"Ahhh..."

"How is that possible?!"

Painful howls echoed, and suddenly the blood in the Blood Curse Daoist's body rapidly disappeared, his body shrank, and the blood-based runes on his skin quickly faded away.

When the golden light reappeared, it transformed into a flying sword, its blade covered with dense, blood-red runes that twisted and turned like living snakes and worms before disappearing into the sword.

"What happened? How did the boss die?"

For a moment, they were somewhat bewildered, but they sensed that the powerful Blood Curse Daoist had quickly turned into a dried-up corpse, dead beyond any doubt.

When the remaining two looked back at the golden sword hanging in mid-air, their eyes flashed with awe and fear.

"Don't worry, a family should always be together."

"To die on the same day, in the same year, and go to the underworld together—that would be a beautiful story!"

Xu Changjun's calm voice echoed in the Shadow Prison, like a soul-reaping sound coming from the night.

Even though the remaining two Foundation Establishment cultivators had committed numerous evils, they could not help but feel terrified and suspicious under such an extremely bizarre situation.

After all, the Blood Curse Daoist's sudden death and being devoured, leaving only a shell, didn't seem like a righteous method.

It was more like the infamous Devouring Technique of the demonic path. A dignified Foundation Establishment cultivator died in front of them without any dignity. The unprecedented fear and unease amplified and became agitated.

"Haha, I never expected that Xu Weichao, who claimed to be acting on behalf of Heaven, would produce a late-stage demonic cultivator like you among his descendants."

"As a member of the Xu family, secretly cultivating such demonic arts, how is your behavior any more sophisticated than ours? If you are caught, even if the Xu family is heartbroken, we will probably have to put righteousness above family ties."

Their voices rang out, speaking with utter indifference.
