Chapter 497: Chapter 473 The Complete Source Demon _1

A hundred miles away.

Dazzling Shadow hovered in the air, with the slender saw-toothed Demon Knife floating behind her, her face smooth as jade, emanating a faint silvery glow.

"Whoosh!"

Streams of dark blue Demon Light dissipated from the knife behind her, concealing her presence and trace of existence.

"He actually came to the Demon Abyss too."

Dazzling Shadow’s eyes, cold and sharp, fixed on the ruins of the shattered city.

She could clearly see through the Demon Abyss’s unique environment, observing a red dragon thrashing its body amidst the dust and smoke, being dismembered by Pang Jian until it was a bloody mess.

She could also tell that this eighth-grade Flame Dragon was inevitably meeting its death.

"This is the Demon Abyss, the ancestral land of our Devil Scale Tribe! As long as I set foot in this place, it belongs to me, my Demon Realm! Dragon Race, Human Race, all Great Demons, no one shall covet what belongs to Dazzling Shadow!"

She muttered coldly.

In the Demon Abyss, not only was she unaffected by the overwhelming pressures, but her powers were greatly enhanced.

Like Wu Yuan, who was recognized by the Demon Stone, as the strongest talent of the Devil Scale Tribe and approved by the Outer World Demon Gods, she was in the Demon Abyss much like being in her own private domain.

In the Demon Abyss, Dazzling Shadow was as if unified with the land, her combat power markedly blessed.

"Swoosh!"

A brilliant moonlight wrapped around a slender, graceful figure, suddenly landing through the dark blue curtain of light.

Within the moonlight was a young and beautiful woman of the Human Race, with a forehead glowing, revealing delicate and small moon patterns.

"How does this girl have such a rich divine aura? Is she a follower of the Moon Goddess, or is She an avatar?"

Dazzling Shadow’s expression slightly changed.

After entering the Demon Abyss, she created slaughter indiscriminately, wishing to not be disturbed while she contemplated the profoundness of the Demon Stone.

She knew well that as long as no one went out to reveal the situation of the Demon Abyss to the Elders of the Demon Sect, and those people did not personally visit the Demon Abyss, they would hardly know what was happening inside.

Relying on her affinity with the environment of the Demon Abyss, she had already killed many people, and by now, there weren’t many who could threaten her left.

The arrival of Ying Yue, who bore such an astonishing divine aura, once again made Dazzling Shadow feel threatened.

"I hope she’s just a follower. If She’s an avatar of the deity, it could be troublesome."

Dazzling Shadow quietly departed.

...

Outside the city ruins.

As Dazzling Shadow disappeared into the void a hundred miles away, Wu Yuan, standing beside the Kirin Bell, also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I’ve crossed paths with that woman you spoke of; she is indeed very strong."

"You fought with her?" exclaimed Li Jie.

"We’ve clashed. Despite the resonance between me and that Demon Stone and my advantage in the Demon Abyss, I still had to retreat."

Wu Yuan still appeared shaken.

After a pause, he asked, "What’s the situation inside? After I left, how did Pang Jian end up fighting a Flame Dragon?"

"That Flame Dragon is named Long Yan; it came from the Dragon Cave of the Saint Spirit Continent. Cough cough, our Heaven Treasure Sect backs the Four Pupils Spirit Fox Demon King, and I suppose the Dragon Cave disagreed with this, so they sent Long Yan to kill me."

Li Jie was still hiding inside the Kirin Bell, not venturing out in case Wu Yuan and that woman he considered of the Demon Sect were in collusion, potentially luring him out to execute him.

However, that didn’t prevent him from communicating with Wu Yuan, nor did it stop him from informing about the subsequent events.

"An eighth-grade Flame Dragon!"

Wu Yuan was equally shaken, not expecting Pang Jian to have become so strong that he could fight an eighth-grade Flame Dragon to a draw.

"Long Yan is doomed; he’s been poisoned so heavily, there’s no way he could survive." Li Jie said smugly, chuckling from under the bell. "Back in the Fifth Realm’s Bagua City, I saw the tactics of Pang Jian and his ilk. Although, indeed, somewhat despicable and shameless, they are certainly very effective!"

"Later, after returning to the Heaven Treasure Sect, I began pondering how to protect myself."

"..."

He attributed all the vicious methods he used to gather deadly poisons from around the world to confront enemies to Pang Jian, claiming it was all taught by Pang Jian.

Wu Yuan’s eyes filled with suspicion, and he furrowed his brow. "The Pang Jian I know is not like that."

"That’s because you don’t know him well!"

"Back when he was weak, he used whatever means necessary against stronger enemies. Now that he has made a name for himself and become a disciple of Pu Zhaotian, he’s started to restrain himself." Li Jie did not hesitate to reveal all of Pang Jian’s past secrets, saying, "To be honest, he was even scarier back then."

Suddenly, the mourning cry of the dragon rose sharply before gradually subsiding.

"Long Yan is dead."

Li Jie relaxed, intending to move the Kirin Bell into the city but was fearful Wu Yuan might strike. He stubbornly stayed put, waiting right where he was.

Wu Yuan, on the other hand, flew toward the city still shrouded in dust and smoke.

"Don’t come in, it’s poisonous!"

Pang Jian, who had slain Long Yan in the ruins, saw Wu Yuan’s figure emerging and hurriedly said, "Get out quickly!"

"I have the protection of the Firm Cover Secret Skill, I’m not afraid..."

Before Wu Yuan could finish his response, he saw the poisonous smoke passing through the Firm Cover and crazily seeping into his mouth and nose.

His face instantly darkened as he exclaimed, "Even the Firm Cover can’t protect us?"

Moments later.

Having swallowed a detoxifying pill, Wu Yuan sat on the ground outside the city, with poison smoke escaping from his nostrils and ears.

He looked coldly at Li Jie, who finally agreed to leave the Kirin Bell.

"Cough, cough, you’re a disciple of the Demon Sect too, just like the woman who tried to kill me, how do I know if you’re not in cahoots with her?" Li Jie said with a dry laugh, trying to explain.

"I came here with Pang Jian," Wu Yuan snorted coldly.

"You said it yourself, the closer you are to that Demon Stone, the more you’ll suffer the contamination of its magic power. How do I know if you, like her, have also been tainted by the Demon Stone?" Li Jie retorted.

"She’s not a disciple of the Demon Sect; she’s Dazzling Shadow, the Dazzling Shadow from the Devil Scale Tribe," Pang Jian said in a low voice.

"Dazzling Shadow?"

Wu Yuan could no longer afford to quarrel with Li Jie. His figure shook as he decisively said, "Pang Jian, stop approaching that Demon Stone! We must leave the Demon Abyss immediately, as I need to report her arrival to the elders of our sect."

"She is of the Devil Scale Tribe. Now that she has come, there might be even more warriors from the Devil Scale Tribe!"

"The alien tribes of the Fifth Realm might not have waited for the Filth Alien Power to surge up before they started making their move on the Demon Abyss Continent!"

Wu Yuan’s thoughts were deeper and more complicated.

He regarded the appearance of Dazzling Shadow as an invasion of the entire Demon Sect by the Devil Scale Tribe, considering the Demon Abyss as the primary target for their conquest.

His heart grew cold at the thought, and he suddenly felt that the Demon Abyss was now crawling with Level 9 warriors from the Devil Scale Tribe.

He even thought that Li Bai, the leader of the Devil Scale Tribe—and father of Dazzling Shadow—had secretly arrived in the Demon Abyss as well.

"Long Yan’s dragon body is still inside, and I was planning to wait for the poison smoke to clear before searching his body for any benefits," Pang Jian hesitated.

"It’s not that serious, there are no Level 9 Devil Scale warriors that have entered, and certainly no Level 10," said the weakened will of the Source Demon from the Origin Demon Sword in Pang Jian’s hand.

Clusters of Demon Clouds gathered inside the sword, condensing into a vague demon shadow, seemingly the original form of the Source Demon.

This demon shadow appeared above the burning Demon Flame. The soul shadow emitted Demon Light, giving off a solemn and dignified presence as if it had once been revered and worshiped by countless members of the Demon Clan.

In the past, it was scattered and unfocused, with its Demon Thought pervasive in the Demon Light, Demon Flame, and Demon Cloud.

At this moment, it gathered the Demon Light, Demon Flame, and Demon Cloud in one place, using the Demon Cloud as an image and the burning Demon Flame as the base for the shadow, while the body continued to emit Demon Light.

It integrated the three, forming a gradually materializing image of a Demon Body.

"Pang Jian, I am now teaching you a spell. Go, refine that Flame Dragon, eat it up completely. Hmm, use that Flame Pool in your Dantian," said the Source Demon, tempting him subtly.

At this moment, the Source Demon was no longer ’it’ but had become ’He’.

Pang Jian sensed the difference, knowing that a Demon God, who once stood in the Outer Star River, had been reborn in the process of being shattered and reborn.

He Motian, Ti Wei, these Great Demon Gods who had suppressed and heavily struck the Source Demon, had not succeeded in killing Him.

After a long period of depression, when Pang Jian brought Him into the Demon Abyss and wielded Him to slay a Level 8 Flame Dragon, He underwent a transformation and ascension in His own way.

"From today onwards, I will cooperate fully with you and will no longer harbor the intention to harm you," the Source Demon swore solemnly.

He made a malevolent oath, swearing by His own fall into Darkness, never to return to the Outer Worlds, never to be able to ascend to be a Great Demon God.

The names of those Demon Gods that had vanished in the river of time, Pang Jian hadn’t heard any of them before, but He seemed to take this oath very seriously.

It felt like He was serious this time.

"Wu Yuan, He has awakened," said Pang Jian, raising the black-gold Origin Demon Sword in his hand and speaking solemnly, "He said that there are no other members of the Devil Scale Tribe, only Dazzling Shadow has come."

"What do you mean by ’He has awakened’?" Wu Yuan was startled.

"I mean, before He was incomplete, just now He has become whole," Pang Jian vaguely explained and flew towards the corpse of Long Yan, saying, "You stay with Li Jie, so you can look after each other. This Level 8 Flame Dragon will help me advance my cultivation."

"Pfft!"

With one stroke of his sword, he opened the belly armor of Long Yan, revealing the dragon’s huge red heart.

The still heart, shaped like a bright red crystal, contained many slender Bloodline Crystal Chains resembling intertwined red lightning, each carrying the essence of fire within.

Droplets of blood belonging to Long Yan, all turned into solid crystals, concealed an incredibly potent power.

"Original Demon Fusion Spell."

One after another, Demon glyphs leaped out from the sword, merged into Pang Jian’s heart, and allowed him to instantly grasp the essence of this Secret Skill.

He immediately entered the heart of Long Yan, sitting atop the bright red crystal-like Dragon Heart.

"Teng!"

He suddenly burst into flames, igniting the heart of the Level 8 Flame Dragon with his own fire.

In his Dantian Fragment Land, the Flame Pool turned into a fiery sea, bubbling and billowing, releasing an aura able to melt and refine everything.

"Hiss! Hiss hiss!"

The Bloodline Crystal Chains belonging to Long Yan disappeared one by one within the Dragon Heart and then reappeared one by one in Pang Jian’s Flame Pool.
