Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 115 Nine Transformations of the Immortal Demon (Bosses, asking for subscriptions~)_1

[In the seven hundred and ninety-third year, the Crocodile Dragon had demonstrated its transformation to you for the sixth time, finally igniting your innate talent and wisdom, as an unimaginable path suddenly became clear in your mind.]

[In the eight hundred and thirtieth year, the Ape Demon was right; without experiencing true life and death, how could one comprehend the essence of life and death Zen! However, the one to die need not necessarily be oneself. Tame the demonic power with the vigor of life, trap the demons inside oneself, subdue them with the intent of death, using the Hundred-refined Crocodile Dragon Body, repeat nine times… This is the Nine Transformations of the Immortal Demon!]

[Remaining demon lifespan: Two thousand five hundred and forty-eight years]

[Condensation Elixir. Nine Transformations of the Immortal Demon (Rare): Uninitiated]

Shen Yi looked at the panel with some surprise, his gaze mainly on that unfamiliar term.

If it implied the meaning of "precious treasure", then why had it not appeared before?

Not to mention, the Four Harmonies True Gang was already a General's secret technique, ranked as superior, and with the addition of the Power of the Blood Fiend, transformed into the Celestial Gang Blood Fiend, increasing its power even further—could it still not be considered a treasure?

"Huh."

Shen Yi adjusted his spirit, growing increasingly expectant of this complete Condensation Elixir Martial Arts that he was encountering for the first time.

He channeled the remaining demon lifespan into it.

Unexpectedly, he encountered a problem before even starting.

[In the first year, you flipped through the Body Refinement Method that you had deduced yourself, but it was truly a case of a clever woman who cannot cook without rice…]

Suddenly realizing something, Shen Yi reached into his silver bell and took out the Dragon Elixir and the Jade Liquid Boundary Tiger Demon Beast Core.

To trap a demon within oneself, one naturally needs a demon to trap.

He urged the Sun Melting Furnace to its full strength, first firmly suppressing the Outer Elixir to avoid losing the demonic power to it.

Only then did he swallow the Beast Core and the Dragon Elixir one after another.

[In the second year, following the description in the martial arts, you began to nourish your skin and flesh with the power from the Tiger Demon Beast Core… The volatile power of the Tiger Demon instantly tore your body from the inside out, fortunately, a white light emerged, soothing the demonic power while repairing your physique]

[In the eighth year, the power of the Tiger Demon was exhausted and completely absorbed by you, you swallowed one of the remaining Dragon Elixirs, but the two demonic powers did not meld together, reducing the efficiency of subduing the demon]

Seeing this, Shen Yi wasn't too worried.

Even if only a fifth of the original essence remained in the Dragon Elixir, it was not something a mere Jade Liquid Perfection Beast Core could contend with.

It's known that when the Crocodile Dragon Beast Core was absorbed by the Fiendish External Elixir, the extra bit of demonic power it gained was like a drop in the ocean.

As expected, the following prompt indicated that the efficiency of subduing the demon had returned to normal.

[In the twelfth year, aside from refining the demonic power, your habitual thrift led you to also digest the impurities within the Dragon Elixir completely, slightly enhancing your innate Power of the Jiao Demon.]

But it was still very slow…

The demonic power that the Fiendish External Elixir could devour in an instant, if to be refined into the flesh, the speed was incomparable. Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

Shen Yi was not impatient, the same power placed in a Precious Tool was nowhere near as substantial as when infused into the body.

[In the three hundred and twentieth year, you completely subdued the Crocodile Dragon's demonic power, trapping it within yourself, completing the first transformation of the Immortal Demon]

[You are the Jiao Monarch, the sovereign of broad rivers and long streams, the terrifying waves a hundred feet high are your throne, the perilous undercurrents are your bed. Within the rivers and seas, you tread the waves, and you may also dive into the abyss to stir and overturn the waters.]

[Nine Transformations of the Immortal Demon Initiates]

In an instant, an unparalleled strength flowed into his body.

Boom!

Veins on Shen Yi's forehead burst forth as he crashed into the mountain wall behind him, grinding the remains of the Tiger Demon into blood foam, the whole hill trembling twice.

It was like the force of the Power of the Jiao Demon, the Hundred-refined Crocodile Dragon Body, and the life and death Zen body had been combined and surged into every limb and bone in an instant.

Just the initiation was already surpassing all previous accumulations!

This was the genuine Body Refining Method that could match a warrior of the Nascent Pill Realm—

"Heh..."

Shen Yi gasped for breath, leaning against the mountain wall, his entire body's muscles spasming and twitching.

He seemed to sense something, suddenly lifting his sleeve, only to see a golden, Jiao tail pattern extending towards his shoulder.

As time elapsed, it was only after he finally could fully control this force that the pattern vanished into his skin, slowly disappearing.

Shen Yi looked up at the sky.

A torrential downpour came pouring down, drenching the entire hill.

He did not mobilize his cultivation, just quietly watching the sky, when suddenly, the rain began to avoid this place at an odd angle.

"Controlling the wind and summoning the rain?"

Although the scene before him was far from reaching that level, Shen Yi was certain he had mastered some ability that was beyond the scope of mortals.

He silently pursed his lips, then took out two Tiger Elixirs, which were his last savings, intended to replenish the Fiendish External Elixir.

But just the first transformation could nearly compare with a neophyte Pill Concocting Martial Warrior... No, it's not nearly, maybe even a bit superior.

What astonishing effects might be achieved if he reached minor completion.

By then, perhaps he would not need to rely on the External Elixir to have the power he just displayed.

[Remaining demonic lifespan: 2,228 years]

[In the first year, you plan to attempt the second transformation, but before that, you must erase the remaining consciousness within the Jiao power with a sense of death.]

Seeing the prompt on the panel, Shen Yi once again pulled up his sleeve, gently touching the spot where the Crocodile Dragon pattern had disappeared.

Only by completely cutting off the remaining Divine Soul within could this power truly belong to him.

[In the seventy-second year, under the torture of the sense of death, you heard a disgruntled dragon's roar gradually dissipating into the air... You paid it no mind, took out a Tiger Elixir, and swallowed it down. With the body of an Immortal Demon after the first transformation, you are quite compatible with the violent demonic power, and your progress efficiency has increased.]

Based on previous experience, the cultivation contained within a Tiger Elixir was five times that of the leftover Jiao Elixir.

It would require approximately... 1,500 years?

For humans, this is a ridiculously high number. Yet the Nine Transformations of the Immortal Demon is clearly not meant for Martial Warriors to master, trapping demons within one's body and stealing their divine skills; what sort of "martial arts" is this really?

Shen Yi pondered for a moment, only hoping that this so-called efficiency increase was indeed a real improvement.

[In the six hundred thirty-first year, you have completely refined the Tiger Elixir, completing the second transformation...]

[You have transformed into a Mountain Lord, patrolling a myriad of beasts, your tiger's spirit quaking the mountains, untouched by myriad trickeries, avoided by evil spirits, with brilliant eyes distinguishing ghosts and gods, commanding souls to wander the four wastes]

Now as both Jiao Immortal and Mountain Lord, each transformation would bring new divine skills.

This time, Shen Yi was prepared in advance, clenching his hands into fists.

The surging power flowing into him again was far greater than the last, but its impact on his psyche was much smaller.

"Not enough..."

Shen Yi's eyes flickered as he carefully compared the current power and the gap from when he had fully unleashed the Immortal Demon External Elixir before.

There was still a bit lacking.

A Nascent Pill Realm Demon had an overwhelming advantage over a neophyte Pill Concocting Realm Demon. Even now, just with his physical body, he had not reached the level where he could kill the Tiger Demon leader with a single palm strike.

Without using the Immortal Demon External Elixir, he was probably slightly less powerful than the Qingfeng Mountain Jiao Monarch by half a level.

"Is it necessary to complete the third transformation to be considered to have reached minor completion?"

Shen Yi looked at the lone remaining Tiger Elixir in his palm and sighed lightly.

It probably wouldn't be enough.
