Chapter 499: Chapter 475 Demon Element Power_1

Demon Abyss.

Outside the shattered city, Li Jie watched the Origin Demon Sword depart, feeling the aura it emitted, a bitter taste suddenly emerging at the corners of his mouth.

He looked down at the scabbard he had meticulously forged for Pang Jian, the bitterness in his expression deepening.

The twelve arrays he had inscribed inside the scabbard were intended to suppress the demon soul within the sword and cut off its connection with the outside world, to prevent the Source Demon from drawing on the evil in people’s hearts for power.

But now, watching the Origin Demon Sword fade into the distance, he realized that the arrays he had inscribed may not be able to restrain the Source Demon at all.

The scabbard, in an instant, became a mere decoration, a "garment" for the Source Demon to conceal its blade.

That was all.

"Oh well, if it’s useless, then it’s useless. It was still my heartfelt effort," he said.

Li Jie, riding the Kirin Bell, flew above the city, watching as the heart of the Level 8 Flame Dragon gradually vanished in the flames burning within Pang Jian.

"Someone is spying on me."

Wu Yuan’s eyebrows raised as he spoke with caution, "It must be Dazzling Shadow of the Devil Scale Tribe. Her descent into the Demon Abyss must be for that Demon Stone. If it’s just her alone..."

Wu Yuan said sternly, "Pang Jian, we need to hurry to that Demon Stone."

"The Origin Demon Sword has already left, I still need a moment," Pang Jian replied.

In the Dantian Fragment Land, within the flame pool that was engulfing the essence and blood of the Level 8 Flame Dragon, a dark red Dragon Ball was slowly solidifying.

The Dragon Ball floated in the vast Flame Pool, merging with the surging flames, and held the dragon’s aura imbued with Long Yan.

Beneath the Flame Pool, the subterranean network woven with his bloodline crystal chains extended all the way to the Dantian Fragment Land, where the fire’s secrets that Long Yan contemplated were distinctly clear.

He was still refining the Dragon Heart with the "Original Demon Fusion Spell," still assimilating the power contained within the Dragon Heart.

After a while,

The blue-black Demon Light, invisible to the naked eye and only perceptible through the Spiritual Soul, started to surge into his body as he circulated the "Original Demon Fusion Spell."

Beneath the Dantian Fragment Land, in a vacuous and desolate space, a shade of blue-black suddenly appeared.

That shade of blue-black held a mysterious aura, and as he continued to execute the "Original Demon Fusion Spell," the blue-black beneath the Dantian Fragment Land began to spread gradually, slowly creeping outwards.

"Huff! Huff, huff!"

His peculiar Chaos Sea suddenly generated a mighty suction force, beginning to frantically draw in the blue-black Demon Light rippling from the Demon Stone.

"Pang Jian!"

Wu Yuan’s eyes showed alarm.

Wielding the Purple Demon Eye and sensing the presence of the Demon Stone, he was so close to Pang Jian that he naturally detected the abnormal movements of the blue-black Demon Light.

"Pang Jian, you’re absorbing Demon Element Power! This type of Demon Element Power does not belong to Purgatory; it’s being released from that Demon Stone! The body of the Human Race can hardly withstand Demon Element Power, only members of the Devil Scale Tribe like Dazzling Shadow can incorporate Demon Element Power into their bodies."

"Even I cannot refine Demon Element Power, be extremely careful!" he exclaimed.

In his shock, he saw another bizarre occurrence.

His Purple Demon Eye, alike Pang Jian, was also absorbing that invisible Demon Element Power.

Once the Demon Element Power entered the amethyst-like Purple Demon Eye, it became clear immediately, transforming into threads of blue-black smoke that merged into the image of the Great Demon God Hemo Tian.

The ethereal and elusive Divine Dharma Aspect, refining the Demon Element Power, was incorporating it as part of the Demon Body.

The aura of Hemo Tian suddenly surged!

"I can barely suppress His Divine Dharma Aspect any longer! Pang Jian, I must rush to that Demon Stone at once, using the power of the Demon Stone to continue sealing Hemo Tian’s divine image!" Wu Yuan exclaimed.

Ignoring the threat of Dazzling Shadow, Wu Yuan hastily rushed towards the center of the Demon Abyss.

"Dazzling Shadow might be here too, be careful!"

Pang Jian warned in a soft shout.

While maintaining his connection with the Origin Demon Sword, he did his utmost to absorb the "Demon Element Power" from Wu Yuan’s mouth, fortifying the deep-sea expanse of blue-black Demon Light beneath the Dantian Fragment Land.

"Chaos Sea, chaos..."

In a vague sense, he perceived a tremendous opportunity.

The two main forces of Purgatory World, Filth Alien Power and nature’s spiritual energy, were in conflict, and the same was true within his dantian, never able to coexist in harmony.

During this venture into the Demon Abyss, having cultivated the "Original Demon Fusion Spell" taught by the Source Demon, he could refine the so-called Demon Element Power through the Chaos Sea!

And the Demon Element Power didn’t even belong to Purgatory!

If the Demon Element Power from the Outer Realm could be integrated into his dantian, did it mean that the incompatibility between Filth Alien Power and Spiritual Power was actually due to the wrong approach?

Was a unique spell needed to match it, or perhaps a special environment?

Or both?

Pang Jian, aware he was at a critical juncture in life, pondered deeply while refining the Dragon Heart, not rushing towards the Demon Stone like Wu Yuan, but instead notifying Source Demon, "Keep an eye on Wu Yuan for me, the one clutching the Purple Demon Eye—don’t let the Devil Scale Tribe’s woman kill him."

Source Demon responded, "I’ll do my best."

"Whoosh!"

At that moment, the dark-gold longsword suddenly stopped.

A gigantic prism-shaped purple Crystal Stone, tall as a mountain, stood in the center of the pit within the Demon Abyss, turbid inside but continuously emitting astonishing blue-black Demon Light outward.

Here, the Demon Light was no longer invisible and formless; instead, it became dense and profound, like a rippling deep sea of blue-black waves.

The colossal purple Crystal Stone stood like a mountain in the deep sea, enduring for myriad years.

Near the Demon Stone, on the sea floor of dense Demon Light, lay several hundred well-preserved corpses.

Some belonged to the Devil Scale Tribe, others to the Demon Race, now extinct in Purgatory, as well as Cultivators from the Human Race and large-formed members of the Demon Race.

There were even a few from the Ghost Clan and Heaven Clan.

The remnants, dead for untold years, still harbored flesh and blood untouched by the corrosion of time.

"Swoosh!"

Dazzling Shadow, wielding the Demon Knife, shot past the well-preserved remains of the various clans’ powerful members, heading straight for the massive Demon Stone.

"Several of my clan’s forebears."

Her gaze swept over the Devil Scale Tribe’s kindred and she sighed softly, murmured in a quiet voice, "Over thirty thousand years have passed, and our founding ancestors have yet to rest in peace. As a descendant, entering the sacred ancestral land, I am honored to behold your remains and I am resolved to restore the glory of the Devil Scale Tribe!"

The serrated Demon Knife suddenly enlarged.

Upon its smooth blade were clusters of black-purple demonic patterns that, when revealed, twisted and writhed like the visionary eye of a demon from the Outer Realm.

Next to the mountainous purple Demon Stone, the stationary dark-gold longsword suddenly became aware.

"Hum!"

A sword’s hum abruptly filled the air.

Those clusters of black-purple demonic patterns emerging on Dazzling Shadow’s Demon Knife, at the sound of the hum from the Origin Demon Sword, went "pop pop pop" and burst into oblivion.

"Seize the sword, and eradicate the soul within it!"

An insurmountable will, cold and merciless, transmitted from the Demon Knife, instructing Dazzling Shadow to strike.
