Chapter 446 Double Ascension to the Holy Body! 18 Demonic Runes!
Chapter 446 Double Ascension to the Holy Body! 18 Demonic Runes!
"What...what did you do to me?!"
The Devouring Demon Emperor's eyes widened, filled with terror and disbelief.
He discovered that his newly recovered primal power had been suppressed once again.
Combined with the effects of the spirit array, his strength is now only 30% of what it was at his peak!
Chu Yang smiled and said, "Right now, you're probably not even as strong as a mid-stage Saint-grade cultivator, are you?"
The Devouring Demon Emperor's face was grim as he gritted his teeth and said, "That's enough to deal with you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he charged straight at Chu Yang.
Chu Yang put away the [Heavenly Palace], and the Origin Martial Avatar appeared behind him. The dragon and elephant phantom swallowed a large number of demonic runes in one gulp, and then merged into the left arm of the avatar.
The Origin Martial Avatar unleashed a punch that shattered space, causing the entire mountain to teeter on the brink of collapse. Even the space where the ancient celestial palace ruins were located began to become unstable.
"boom!!!"
The Devouring Demon Emperor never expected that a mere mid-stage Immortal could unleash such terrifying power.
Even though he had taken Chu Yang seriously, he still underestimated Chu Yang's strength, so this punch caught him completely off guard.
The Devouring Demon Emperor's attack crumbled instantly, and the Origin Martial Avatar's fist slammed into his chest.
The Devouring Demon Emperor's physical body crumbled inch by inch, his soul, wrapped in primordial demonic energy, tried to escape, but the direction it fled in...
It was actually the spirit array that had sealed him for tens of thousands of years...
There was no other way; as long as the spirit array remained intact, he couldn't escape this space, and wherever he fled, he would only face certain death.
Chu Yang did not step forward to stop him. He simply stood there, his hands forming a hand seal, and a strange power emanated from his body.
The Devouring Demon Emperor froze instantly, then turned back in horror, his face filled with disbelief, and exclaimed, "The Holy Demon Token! This is the Holy Demon Token?!"
Upon hearing his words, the Heavenly Emperor's expression changed slightly, and he frowned as he looked at Chu Yang.
The Holy Demon Token is not a treasure or a token, but a special means of the extraterrestrial evil race, which only the top Heavenly Demon Emperors can master.
The Holy Demon Decree does not require any cooperation to activate; it is a purely spiritual means and is only effective against evil races.
Of course, the Holy Demon Token cannot be used by just anyone; it requires a strong source of evil essence as support, otherwise its effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
In short, top-tier Heavenly Demon Emperors can use the Holy Demon Token to control powerful members of the evil race to a certain extent.
Chu Yang naturally did not possess the origin of the evil race, but the Holy Heaven Demon Emperor was in extremely poor condition at the moment. He was sealed by the spirit array, affected by the sealing dust, and severely injured by the Heavenly Demon Force of the Origin Martial Dharma Body.
Even under these circumstances, Chu Yang could not forcibly control the Devouring Demon Emperor, but he could restrict his actions to a certain extent.
"No! You...you don't have any fundamental support; you've only mastered the secret techniques of the Holy Demon Token..."
The Devouring Demon Emperor's expression shifted repeatedly. "This is impossible... How could there be a traitor among the top-tier Heavenly Demon Emperors?"
Hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor's expression softened a bit. He had just had doubts about Chu Yang, but now he dismissed the idea.
However, he became increasingly curious about this young man. It was truly unbelievable that a mid-stage Immortal Rank cultivator possessed such formidable strength and had mastered the core secret techniques of the extraterrestrial evil race.
Chu Yang smiled faintly and said, "Perhaps you think that the annihilation of the Evil Clan, or even my future slaying of the Heavenly Evil God, is impossible..."
"Don't worry... these things, one by one, were bound to happen sooner or later!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the [Heavenly Sword] appeared in his hand, and he raised his hand to unleash a sword strike!
Extreme Sword Technique: Ephemeral Flower!
The soul of the Devouring Demon Emperor was annihilated, leaving only the primordial demonic energy floating in the air.
Chu Yang put away the demonic energy, then looked at the Heavenly Emperor and smiled, "Senior Heavenly Emperor, in order to help you revive, the Great Thousand Palace has sent you a powerful physical body."
"I will help you live a second life. The situation in the Great Thousand World is complicated now. I believe that after your resurrection, you will be able to stabilize the situation considerably."
At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor no longer doubted Chu Yang's words, and smiled with a touch of melancholy, "I never imagined that tens of thousands of years later, a genius like you, young friend, would appear in the Great Thousand Worlds!"
"It seems that the day will come when our Great Thousand Realms will annihilate the evil race and return to its peak!"
"Then I'll have to trouble you, young friend..."
Without much formality or thanks, the Heavenly Emperor disliked superficiality. Since he had received Chu Yang's kindness, he would remember it.
What followed became much simpler. The Heavenly Emperor fulfilled his promise, gathering all the opportunities from the ancient Heavenly Palace ruins to help Xiao Xiao and Dan Tong take another step forward.
Chu Yang then took advantage of the gathering effect of the remaining spirit array on the square, and took out a plane spirit to help the Heavenly Emperor rebuild his physical body and reshape his soul.
This process is quite complicated. The plane spirit used by Chu Yang did not come from the Canglan plane, but from a higher lower plane under the jurisdiction of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The spirit of the Canglan plane is somewhat special and does not align with the Heavenly Emperor.
It took Chu Yang several days to complete a series of preparations. His physical body had been reconstructed, and the remnant soul of the Heavenly Emperor had been restored to its original state.
The next step is to fuse the physical body and the soul. This process also requires Chu Yang's assistance, but he doesn't need to be too focused.
Therefore, Chu Yang multitasked with his own mind, helping the Heavenly Emperor's body and soul merge while simultaneously taking out the Fire Brain to catalyze the spiritual embryo.
At the same time, he began his sixteenth ascension and had his Origin Martial Body refine the primordial demonic energy he had collected during this period.
In the recent series of events, Chu Yang has made a fortune.
First, there was the trip to the Canglan Plane, during which a large number of Yellow Spring Evil Clan members were killed, as well as two Heavenly Demon Emperors and even several Demon Emperors.
Then came the Demon Slaying Plan. Huo Ling and Ao Ting each collected a lot of primordial demonic energy, including that of the two Heavenly Demon Emperors.
In addition, there is the Devouring Demon Emperor's original demonic energy. All of this combined is not to be underestimated.
The only regrettable thing is that the Devouring Demon Emperor's origin was damaged during the tens of thousands of years of sealing, resulting in a significant reduction in his original demonic energy, which is now only about the same as that of the mid-stage Heavenly Demon Emperor.
Even so, Chu Yang was very much looking forward to seeing how much the number of demonic runes on his Origin Martial Body would increase after refining all the original demonic energy!
The Fire Brain had a significant catalytic effect on the Spirit Embryo. When the Fire Brain was completely consumed, Chu Yang roughly estimated that the Spirit Embryo's growth progress had advanced by about one percent.
It may seem like a small amount, but you should know that without external forces to catalyze it, it would take at least a month to increase it by one percent.
Chu Yang's initial assessment was that it would take at least ten years for the first spiritual embryo to grow and transform on its own.
In other words, if he currently possesses 120 Fire Brains, he can skip the ten-year growth period and allow the first spiritual embryo to directly transform!
After pondering for a moment, Chu Yang began to try to catalyze the spiritual embryo using the mermaid's blood and tears.
But then he couldn't help but frown.
Although the spirit embryo showed unusual activity, it did not directly absorb the power of the mermaid's blood and tears; in fact, it seemed to reject it.
This is completely different from the case of the Fire Brain. But if the mermaid's blood and tears have no effect on the growth of the spirit fetus, then why would the spirit fetus exhibit unusual behavior?
Chu Yang frowned in thought, and soon connected the dots to the effects of the mermaid's blood and tears, and the life essence contained within them.
After hesitating for a moment, he directly tried to let his body absorb and refine the mermaid's blood and tears.
The process went smoothly without any unexpected events, since anyone could absorb mermaid blood and tears to extend their lifespan.
The moment he completely refined a mermaid's blood tear, the spiritual embryo's abnormal movements suddenly became more intense.
As if stimulated by something, the origin and vitality within Chu Yang's physical body suddenly accelerated their flow into the spiritual embryo!
That's it!
Chu Yang's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his face.
Mermaid blood and tears can indeed accelerate the growth of a spiritual embryo, but they are different from fire brains.
The Fire Brain directly catalyzes the spiritual embryo, disrupting its absorption rate.
However, the mermaid's blood and tears would stimulate Chu Yang, accelerating the flow of his essence and vitality into the spiritual embryo.
Soon, the rate at which the source and vitality flowed into the spiritual platform returned to normal.
Chu Yang roughly estimated that it was about one percent of the effect of Fire Brain.
This is already quite remarkable, considering the sheer number of such items. Fire Brain is extremely rare, but Mermaid Blood and Tears is different.
Chu Yang possessed thousands of mermaid blood tears. After refining them all, he directly accelerated the growth of his spiritual embryo by seven percent.
It's important to know that Chu Yang had a backup plan in the Canglan Plane: the Mermaid Clan would provide him with a continuous supply of Mermaid Tears.
While mermaid tears are not as effective as mermaid blood tears, a hundred mermaid tears combined are still comparable to one mermaid blood tear.
Why are mermaid blood and tears so precious?
Because whether it is mermaid tears or mermaid blood tears, they are unique to all living beings in the vast world.
A person nearing the end of their lifespan can extend their life to some extent by refining a mermaid tear, but refining a second one will have no effect.
However, the Mermaid's Blood Tears can further extend its lifespan on this basis, but it is also unique and will not work when refined into a second one.
Simply put, a person can only refine one mermaid tear and one mermaid blood tear in their lifetime.
But this limitation does not exist for Chu Yang at all!
Because he doesn't need to prolong his lifespan, he only needs to stimulate himself through mermaids and mermaid blood and tears to accelerate the flow of his essence and vitality into his spiritual embryo.
How many mermaid tears can a mermaid clan provide next year without fundamentally damaging their resources?
Twelve!
In other words, each mermaid can produce one mermaid tear after a month of recuperation.
With the help of Chu Yang's spirit array, this number can be increased to eighteen!
Even though the total number of mermaids is currently less than 10,000, it still amounts to nearly 180,000 mermaid tears a year!
For Chu Yang, it was equivalent to 1,800 mermaid tears of blood!
This is only the current situation. As the mermaid race multiplies and its population grows, the number of people will increase, and the amount of mermaid tears produced each year will also increase.
This thing is different from the Fire Brain; it stimulates Chu Yang himself. Therefore, he judged that even if he reached the second level of One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, it would still be effective.
Therefore, in Chu Yang's eyes, the value of the mermaid's tears far exceeds that of the fire brain!
Just as Chu Yang finished refining all the mermaid's blood and tears and reached the sixteenth level of ascension, the power of faith within the ascension talisman suddenly grew at an alarming rate.
Chu Yang's eyes lit up. He knew this was the Great Thousand Palace. Qin Tian's plan had been fully launched and was obviously working very well.
When everything is made public, panic is inevitable, but since I can receive a lot of faith power, it means that the situation has stabilized.
Under Qin Tian and Daqian Palace's influence, he seems to have become a national idol?
No... that statement isn't entirely accurate...
Chu Yang knew that he was now considered the faith of countless beings in the Great Thousand Worlds, or rather...
He is the spiritual pillar in the hearts of countless people, someone who dares to face the evil races from beyond the realm!
In just half a day, the power of faith within the Ascension Amulet had accumulated to a level sufficient to support the seventeenth ascension.
Without hesitation, Chu Yang began his seventeenth ascension.
He had just finished when he discovered that the power of his faith was already enough to support his eighteenth ascension!
When the Heavenly Emperor's soul and body completely merged, which was his true resurrection, the rate at which the power of faith within the Ascension Amulet increased finally slowed down.
Chu Yang's Ascension Saint Body has clearly reached the twentieth level!
Five consecutive ascensions have brought a considerable boost to Chu Yang's overall strength.
The overall increase in the Ascension Body has increased from approximately 238% to approximately 263.5%.
A full 25% increase!
At Chu Yang's current level, even the slightest improvement would be quite significant, let alone a comprehensive increase in all aspects of his abilities.
Not only that, his cultivation also broke through to the late stage of Immortal Rank!
Chu Yang gently raised his hand, and the Origin Martial Dharma Body appeared. Looking at the Dharma Body's chest, which was already covered with demonic patterns, a smile appeared on his face.
The number of demonic runes on the Origin Martial Dharma Body has increased from the original ninety to one hundred and eighty, a full doubling!
As Chu Yang's cultivation reached the late stage of Immortal Rank, without the addition of demonic runes, the limit of Heavenly Demon Force that the Origin Martial Body could withstand increased from the original seventy-two runes to ninety runes.
In other words, the true limit of the Origin Martial Dharma Body is now 120 Heavenly Demon Force Patterns!
Compared to the previous seventy-eight patterns, it has been increased by a full forty-two patterns!
This period of seclusion resulted in a significant leap in Chu Yang's overall strength.
Before this, even when he had used all his trump cards, Chu Yang could only contend with a late-stage Saint-grade expert.
But now, he is confident that he can kill a late-stage Saint-grade or even a peak Saint-grade!
Even when facing a top-tier powerhouse, they can counter every move!
Chu Yang narrowed his eyes, thinking that when he broke through to the Saint rank, he would be invincible among those below the half-step Dominator level.
A powerhouse at the half-step Dominator realm is, after all, someone who can leave their mark on the Sky Ranking. Even giants are worlds apart from them.
It won't be easy for Chu Yang to bridge this gap and get closer to battle using only various means.
But he was confident that when his cultivation reached the mid-stage of the Saint rank, he would definitely not be weaker than that Immortal Emperor!
Once his cultivation truly reaches the level of a giant, he will probably be able to contend with those in the Dominator Realm.
But none of these were Chu Yang's goals; he had a clear objective from the beginning.
That is the unity of man and law!
However, to achieve this, one would inevitably transcend the limits of the Great Thousand Worlds and stand in opposition to the world's will! (End of Chapter)
