Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains

Chapter 568 A Chance Left Behind Casually

not enough?

Eligo's initial excitement immediately sank.

"Although the Demon God is the wielder of the Demon God Pillar, he is only the wielder. The essence of the Demon God Pillar within you is far too little."

Xu Yuan's words were like a bucket of cold water, pouring down on Ailige's newly warmed heart.

"But don't worry, it is ultimately the original power of the Demon God Pillar, so the quality is still sufficient. I just can't help you nurture a complete spirit furnace. Only through the evolution of the spirit furnace can we have a chance to restore the glory of the Demon God Pillar."

Eligo's heart remained heavy.

Only through the evolution of the Spirit Furnace can the power of the Demon God Pillar be restored.

How many evolutions will this require?

The demon race has a total of seventy-two demon god pillars.

If each Demon God Pillar has to evolve again after it transforms into a Spirit Furnace, how long would that take?

Regardless, this is also the hope of the demons; at least they won't just disappear from this world.

However, Xu Yuan's next words made his heart sink again.

"The power of origin is still too little, and it is still too difficult to nurture a complete spiritual furnace. You should be able to feel that it has taken shape now, but it needs time and investment from you."

After a long silence, Eligo finally spoke, "What should we do?"

He could also sense the changes in the essence of the Demon God Pillar. Although it was merging with heaven and earth, the process was too slow.

"Contribute all your power," Xu Yuan said coldly. "Completely integrate your power into this spirit furnace, and I can stabilize it and integrate it into your spiritual aperture. You will completely lose all your cultivation, but you can start cultivating again. When you rebuild your spiritual power, you will become a native cultivator of the Holy Demon Continent. After reaching the peak of the fifth rank, you can nourish the spirit furnace with your spiritual power and successfully condense your spiritual aperture. This will also mean that the spirit furnace has taken shape."

All of Eligo's illusions were shattered.

It is impossible for the Demon Race to regain its former glory.

Xu Yuan's words undoubtedly indicate that even if the Demon Race can continue to exist, it will inevitably take a long time.

From another perspective, it was fortunate that the demon race was not wiped out after losing that war.

"I've already informed Agares. If you agree, she'll come to pick you up shortly."

Eligo gritted his teeth and said, "We'll do it your way."

"A wise choice."

The world of the Holy Demon Continent is also absorbing the power of the Demon God Pillar, so the gestation of the Demon God Pillar's spirit furnace is imperative, otherwise it will be a loss for all demons.

Using the remaining essence of the Demon God Pillar, a prototype of the Spirit Furnace will be formed. In the future, the power of the Demon God Pillar that has been digested by heaven and earth can be drawn back from the Spirit Furnace. It's not a loss in the end.

Especially during the period when heaven and earth digested the Demon God Pillar, the Spirit Furnace should be nurtured and evolved as much as possible.

When Agares arrived, Xu Yuan had already completed everything, sealing the prototype of the spirit furnace within one of Eligo's spiritual apertures.

"Now, I'm just an ordinary person." Eligo said to Agares with a wry smile, feeling his body devoid of any strength.

Agares also watched Eligo in silence.

"Although you've lost your former power, you and the Serpent Spear Spirit Furnace complement each other, so your cultivation talent won't be lacking. Whether you can reach your previous peak, or even surpass it, depends entirely on yourself." After thinking for a long time, Agares said to Eligo, "The Demon God Pillar was both our strength and our weakness. Without it, we lost all our power. Now, we've broken free from its shackles, but we haven't lost our right to obtain its power."

Agares, known as the brains of the demon race, quickly figured out the pros and cons.

"By the way, just a reminder, in a sense, the demon race has disappeared. Now you are just a native race that has inherited the power of the demon race."

Xu Yuan's words made Agares' face turn pale.

Eligo looked up at Agares.

He didn't understand what Xu Yuan meant.

Agares smiled wryly, "The power of the Demon God Pillar has transformed into a Spirit Furnace. Therefore, as long as someone can fuse with the corresponding Spirit Furnace, they can utilize the power of the Spirit Furnace, which is the power of the Demon God Pillar. The demons are no longer demons, but cultivators who gain power by relying on the new Spirit Furnaces. And cultivators from the Federation can also seize our Spirit Furnaces."

"It's not just people from the Federation, is it?" Eligo's pupils contracted, and he felt a sense of oppression.

Perhaps the most terrifying thing is being betrayed by one's own people.

"That's right. Many of us demons evolved from humans. Even after losing our demonic power, we can still possess nine spiritual apertures and fuse with nine spiritual furnaces. So, among the seventy-two demon gods, some might want to collect all nine spiritual furnaces and combine the power of the nine demon god pillars. I'm afraid—"

Before Agares could finish speaking, Xu Yuan interrupted him.

"So I suggest you leave the Demon Clan now, and return when you have the ability to protect yourself," Xu Yuan said to Eligo.

This Eligo, as a demon god, is quite responsible and a capable person. Xu Yuan wouldn't mind pointing him in the right direction.

"The demon race has finally come to an end." Eligo sighed listlessly, his eyes vacant, and walked away alone into the distance.

He didn't let Agares take him away; instead, he set off alone, aimlessly.

"Try to gather the other demons. My time is limited; I'll go into seclusion in a month at most."

Agares nodded and left.

Although it was vastly different from the ending she had imagined, Xu Yuan's actions did not violate the original agreement. It's just that she hadn't realized before that the demons based on the spirit furnace were no longer demons.

After a long time, the second demon god arrived.

Following Ailige's plan, Xu Yuan once again conceived a prototype of a spirit furnace.

time flies.

In the beginning, Xu Yuan would transform the essence of the Demon God Pillars for three Demon Gods every day, condensing the corresponding prototype of the Spirit Furnace. These were Demon Gods ranked lower in the hierarchy.

Half a month later, it was finally the turn of the other demon gods ranked in the top twenty. Xu Yuan also began to slow down, condensing a maximum of two spirit furnaces a day.

Amidst the frequent creation of spirit furnaces, Xu Yuan was also seeking that trace of the spirit furnace's unique qualities.

evolution

"Evolution has finally caught you."

Xu Yuan's lips curled up.

His three spiritual apertures were activated, and his will had merged with the world.

Although this state prevents one from controlling the world, it allows for a better understanding of its changes.

With this state of mind, coupled with his understanding of the laws, Xu Yuan finally found the law fluctuations corresponding to evolution after seventy condensations.

Star Demon God looked at Xu Yuan with a strange smile and a wary expression.

"Don't touch it, or I can't guarantee that the prototype of the spirit furnace won't be damaged," Xu Yuan warned coldly.

This Star Demon God is the most talkative.

After arriving here, the Star Demon God asked too many questions, which annoyed Xu Yuan.

Judging from the Star Demon God's reaction, it is not hard to see that he has already decided to kill people and seize the Spirit Furnace, and has set his sights on those Demon Gods who were previously nurtured by the Spirit Furnace of the Demon God Pillar.

There are many demon gods similar to the Star Demon God, but the Star Demon God is the most cunning. He used many tricks during the transformation of the spirit furnace, and Xu Yuan's senses were interrupted many times.

The Star Demon God remained silent and continued to cooperate with Xu Yuan.

His guardedness remained.

He breathed a sigh of relief only after his power was exhausted and the spirit furnace was sealed inside his body.

"Get lost," Xu Yuan said coldly.

Star Demon God took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, senior."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Xu Yuan stared at the Star Demon God's back and sensed a special power.

"You're really dishonest."

Xu Yuan shook his head, not paying any attention.

If someone secretly retains a portion of their power, the spirit furnace will likely lose a proportional amount of power, and the power of the Star Demon Spirit Furnace will also be damaged in the future.

"The catalyst for evolution"

Instead of pondering the Star Demon God's actions, Xu Yuan focused his attention on the laws of evolution that he had finally verified.

"The Great Origin Technique is truly a forbidden spell."

Xu Yuan closed his eyes and activated a forbidden spell belonging to the Sacred Heart Plane.

As a system for studying, analyzing, and applying laws, the magicians of the Sacred Heart Plane also have their own means of perceiving laws.

Among them, low-level god-level mages rely on chance and comprehension, but when they reach the main god level, they need some auxiliary means to deeply perceive the power of the laws.

This Great Origin Technique is a forbidden spell that helps one sense the fluctuations of the laws. It was obtained by Xu Yuan from the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars of the Ten Thousand Stars Chamber of Commerce.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

With the help of the Great Origin Technique, Xu Yuan was able to clearly capture the changes in the laws when the origins of each Demon God Pillar condensed into the prototype of the Spirit Furnace.

Every slight change was felt by him.

Through continuous comparison and elimination, he found the branch that belonged to evolution.

He used spiritual power to activate that wisp of fluctuation, and then allowed it to expand and spread—ultimately, the complex laws of evolution appeared in Xu Yuan's vision.

"I don't need to analyze this law, nor do I need to continue searching for techniques to apply it." Xu Yuan was not bothered by the complexity of this law.

"I only need to activate this law when I am nurturing my own spiritual furnace."

About half a day after the Star Demon God left, Agares, as the last Demon God, arrived here.

"Thank you for your help, senior."

Agares bowed deeply and said respectfully.

Xu Yuan waved his hand.

He looked at Agares and said, "Let's begin."

This time, he will invoke the laws of evolution and see the effect.

Agares released the essence of the Moon God Demon Pillar within his body, which transformed into a bright moon.

The bright moon transformed into a pattern, which evolved into a spirit furnace, with the bright moon pattern engraved on it.

Agares felt all of this.

Suddenly, a peculiar fluctuation erupted from the Moon Demon Spirit Furnace.

Agares was filled with mixed emotions.

She felt a familiar power.

That's the power of the Moon Demon Pillar!

At this moment, she actually felt the power of the almost complete Moon Demon God Pillar once again.

She opened her eyes, looked at Xu Yuan, and her expression was filled with shock.

However, Xu Yuan did not notice her change at the moment, but was immersed in this unexpected event.

"So this is how the laws of evolution work."

It communicated with its most essential power and deepened that communication, thereby granting the Spirit Furnace the ability to evolve in multiple stages.

Because of this, the Moon Demon Spirit Furnace may be the one among the spirit furnaces that Xu Yuan transformed to recover to the full power level of the Demon God Pillar the fastest.

Of course, these were not the things that attracted Xu Yuan's attention the most.

What intrigued him was the power of the Moon Demon Pillar.

"Demon God Emperor, your will still exists in this world."

Xu Yuan sensed the power of another Demon God Pillar.

The Demon God Pillars complement each other. Xu Yuan has already completed the nurturing of seventy-one Demon God Pillar Furnaces here. The fluctuations left here, along with the power of the Moon Demon God Pillar drawn out by the Moon Demon Furnace this time, allowed Xu Yuan to glimpse the power of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Pillar.

"Although he did not become part of the world after becoming a god, after his death, the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Pillar was merged into this world, and his power also became part of the world."

Xu Yuan continued to seal the prototype of the Moon Demon Spirit Furnace into Agares' body and send it away. He then continued to capture the power belonging to the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Pillar and sense the will of the Demon God Emperor.

"Hua Dao."

This will was completely dormant, as if it had completely shut down; only the power it left behind had become a part of the world.

"It would be incredible to stay conscious in this state."

Xu Yuan sighed.

He waved his hands, releasing spiritual power that drew upon the power of the Heaven-Defying Demonic Dragon Pillar and Feng Xiu's consciousness.

The nascent form of a spirit furnace entwined with a demonic dragon was faintly visible.

Without the Demon God Emperor personally providing the power of origin, Xu Yuan could only capture a wisp of energy, which was not enough to stabilize the true spirit furnace.

However, he had his own methods.

He searched and sensed his surroundings, capturing wisps of residual power—the aura left behind by the seventy-one demon god furnaces from before.

Using these auras as a guide, he locked the illusion of the Heaven-Defying Demonic Dragon Spirit Furnace.

"This spirit furnace doesn't need to be condensed in time. If it can naturally emerge after thousands of years, that will be considered a success."

Xu Yuan chuckled and buried the phantom of the spirit furnace deep beneath the earth.

Having come here, one should always leave some traces.

Who knows if, thousands of years later, after the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Spirit Furnace is born, a lucky one will become its master and become the true new Demon God Emperor.

This is the most incomplete Demon God Pillar Spirit Furnace, but it also has the highest potential.

After casually setting up a "chance encounter," Xu Yuan finally left the desolate cliff.

The laws of evolution have been successfully captured; the next step is to nurture the spiritual furnace he desires most.

"Are you ready, Jue?"

In a spatial rift on the Holy Demon Continent, Xu Yuan stood holding a gun.

He released the weapon in his hand, causing it to float in front of him.

"The Law of Evolution is just a mechanism, not a fixed ability. Therefore, we can only use it on the Holy Demon Continent, and we must use it on you. Opening up small worlds at will will not provide any feedback to you. So you have to evolve the Spirit Furnace yourself."

The spear vibrated, as if in response to Xu Yuan.

The laws of evolution act upon the Spirit Furnace, connecting it to the corresponding laws and thus creating an opportunity for evolution.

Therefore, the last spiritual furnace that Xu Yuan needs must be evolved from Jue's own power.

"The power of the stars," Xu Yuan said. "This time, I will evolve your star attribute."
