Chapter 350: Chapter 349: Demon Heart Cultivator

"Taoist Seed of Demons!"

Lin Bai muttered the name of this technique, a glimmer of curiosity and bewilderment in his eyes, as he earnestly continued to explore it.

"Good heavens!"

After Lin Bai finished understanding the "Taoist Seed of Demons", he was shocked, his eyes wide with horror.

"This technique can actually increase a warrior’s fighting strength threefold!" Lin Bai exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Bai calmed his emotions and spoke softly, "Practicing this technique creates a blood-red seed in one’s right eye, known as the Demonic Seed."

"When the Demonic Seed blooms, warriors enter a fascinating state known as the Demonic States."

"Following the ascension into the Demonic State, the warrior’s combat power will increase threefold."

Lin Bai exclaimed: "That means if I practice the ’Taoist Seed of Demons’ and if I have the power to defeat a warrior at the Heaven Martial Realm Third Layer while I am only on the First Layer, once the demonic seed blooms and I enter the demonic state, my fighting power will increase threefold, and at that time, I will have the power to defeat someone at the Heaven Martial Realm Ninth Layer while still on the First Layer!"

Hisss!

At this thought, Lin Bai found himself drawing in a sharp, cool breath.

A First-Layer Heaven Martial Realm warrior defeating a Ninth-Layer one—what an inconceivable feat that would be.

Taoist Seed of Demons, Demonic Seed Blooming, trifold battle power, unparalleled Under Heaven!

Lin Bai’s spirit trembled with agitation, his heart pounded wildly.

This technique was too powerful!

It could almost be described as defying the heavens.

"If I, already feared for my power, were to additionally practice the Taoist Seed of Demons and wait until the moment I’ve entered the demonic state, I would be unrivaled by anyone in the same state."

Lin Bai spoke with astonishment.

"However, a technique this exotic surely must have flaws."

The enthusiasm in Lin Bai’s heart was instantly snuffed out for he had discovered two drawbacks to this technique.

"The first flaw is that those who practice the ’Taoist Seed of Demons’ cannot actively control the blooming of the Demonic Seed."

"If warriors cannot control when the Demonic Seed blooms, it means they can only keep practicing without knowing whether the seed will ever bloom or not." Lin Bai declared, his face turning pale.

If warriors aren’t able to control when the Demonic Seed blooms.

Then there’s no point in practicing it.

For instance, a warrior might begin practicing the ’Taoist Seed of Demons’ from birth, but up until his death or until he is killed by a powerful enemy, the Demonic Seed might never bloom, making the practice useless.

Having no control over the Demonic Seed’s blooming is indeed problematic.

"The second flaw is that after entering the Demonic State, the warrior will become blood-thirsty, cold-hearted, indifferent, and dismissive of everything."

"This second flaw is manageable as I have excellent self-control. Even if I become a blood-thirsty demon, I will only kill when necessary and will not arbitrarily commit murder."

This flaw, Lin Bai noted, seemed inconsequential to him.

Should a typical warrior with weak self-control become consumed by slaughter after entering the Demonic State, they’d likely embark on a killing spree.

But Lin Bai differed, he saw himself capable of controlling his urges and not killing innocents.

"The second flaw doesn’t bother me much. The main issue is the first one, that I cannot control when the Demonic Seed blooms, that’s really tricky."

"If I could control when it blooms, enabling a sudden increase in my combat power to over three times, I’d be invincible amongst others at the same level."

Lin Bai frowned as he said this.

"Forget about it, I won’t think about it anymore."

"I can still try practicing it for a while, let the Demonic Seed form first and leave it as is. If there ever comes a day when I face a dire life and death situation, and the Demonic Seed happens to bloom, I might get to utilize the threefold combat power brought by the Demonic Flower to force a breakthrough."

"The ’Taoist Seed of Demons’ could serve as my trump card."

"It’s just that this trump card isn’t under my control, which is kind of a letdown."

Lin Bai shook his head as he spoke.

Unable to control the blooming of the Demonic Seed, Lin Bai found this hard to accept.

However, it seemed like there was no other solution, he could only wait for the Demonic Seed to bloom on its own.

Lin Bai calmed his spirit and his breath. The formula surged within his body, and he silently began practicing the ’Taoist Seed of Demons’.

Half a day later.

Lin Bai suddenly opened his eyes from atop the deserted island.

At that moment, one could clearly see a speck of red light, the size of a grain of rice, faintly glowing, in Lin Bai’s right eye.

This was the Demonic Seed.

After the Demonic Seed had condensed out, the next thing was to wait for the Demonic Seed to bloom.

After a long time, Lin Bai closed his eyes again.

When he opened them again, the Demonic Seed in his right eye had already been concealed, and his eyes returned to their original state, as if everything were normal.

Standing up from the ground, Lin Bai stretched out his fists and feet, felt the abundant strength within his body, and said lightly, "After devouring that Great Demon’s Black Smoke Wolf, my cultivation state broke through to the Heaven Martial Realm’s Sixth Layer."

"Now, with my cultivation at Heaven Martial Realm’s Sixth Layer, I should not fear facing Heaven Martial Realm’s Ninth Layer anymore."

"The time for the Eight Great Clans to pay their blood debts has come."

Thinking of this, a crimson blood light flashed in Lin Bai’s eyes, and he walked off the deserted island, his face filled with coldness.

Upon reaching the beach, a pair of purple and green wings appeared behind Lin Bai, carrying him into the sky, darting away toward the distance.

"Poison Dragon Senior, Xiang Tian, Xue Jianke, do not rush on the Netherworld Path. I will soon send the warriors from the Eight Great Clans to accompany you."

Lin Bai, flying among the clouds, said coldly:

"Eight Great Clans, I am coming."

Whoosh—

Lin Bai’s speed was extremely fast. In an instant, he darted through the clouds, appearing a kilometer away.

...

On the calm sea surface.

A ship sailed steadily.

"Husband, do you see that there is a man standing on the water there? His ship must have sunk due to a Demon Beast attack. Shall we save him?"

At the bow of the ship, a man and a woman leaned against each other, both handsome and beautiful, their faces wore faint smiles.

"Wan’er, your heart is so kind, so be it. Since we encountered him, of course, we cannot ignore him." The man lovingly glanced at the woman in his arms, and smiled lightly.

"Bring the ship over."

The man ordered.

The huge ship slowly approached the man standing on the sea surface.

"Brother, I am Feng Hua, the Island Master of Windless Island. This is my wife, Mu Wan. May I ask if you have run into some trouble? If there’s a need, I am willing to lend a hand." Feng Hua asked, smiling slightly.

Lin Bai slowly raised his head and smiled faintly, "In that case, I am really grateful, Brother. To be frank, my ship encountered a Demon Beast at sea and has sunk. I am currently really quite at a loss."

"If Brother is willing to help me out, it would be wonderful."

This young man was none other than Lin Bai.

After leaving the deserted island, Lin Bai, using all his strength, flew a long distance until half of the True Qi in his Dantian had been consumed.

At that time, Lin Bai stopped, landing on the sea surface to rest and recover his True Qi.

Then, by coincidence, a ship from Windless Island offered to give him a lift, and Lin Bai was overjoyed.

"Brother, where are you heading?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

Feng Hua chuckled, "We are heading to the City of Thousand Islands to attend a Celebration Banquet held by the Eight Great Clans. Are you going the same way?"

"What Celebration Banquet?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"Brother, don’t you know? The Eight Great Clans joined forces to avert a catastrophe for the East Sea by stopping the appearance of a Great Demon. Now, the Eight Great Clans are hosting a Celebration Banquet in the City of Thousand Islands, inviting warriors from all over the East Sea. Regardless of cultivation, power or birth, everyone can participate in the banquet."

"Just when the Eight Great Clans were about to seal the Great Demon, my Windless Island contributed ten million spiritual stones. Now that the Great Demon is sealed, I naturally want to go and celebrate."

Feng Hua said, smiling lightly.

"Hehe." Hearing that the Eight Great Clans were hosting a Celebration Banquet, Lin Bai sneered inside his heart.

The figures of Poison Dragon Island Master, Xue Jianke, and Xiang Tian appeared in Lin Bai’s mind.

Revenge!

Revenge!

Lin Bai clenched his fists, a hint of ferocity appearing on his face.

"We are going to the City of Thousand Islands, Brother. We are on the same route, so if you wish, we can give you a ride?" Feng Hua asked, chuckling lightly.

"Perfect. I also want to attend this Celebration Banquet."

Lin Bai raised his head, and replied seriously.

But now, there was no smile on Lin Bai’s face.
