Dark Savage Heaven Master
As Shentu Nantian spoke, he placed the array plate in his hand on the ground. On the array plate, rings of runes lit up and began to grow larger and larger, eventually reaching the feet of Yi Yun, Shentu Feng, Shentu Hai.
"Come on up."
Shentu Nantian said that the elixir recorded in this ancient formula would be made using this array plate as the foundation.
Yi Yun hesitated for a moment, then stepped onto the array plate.
He knew that his new identity had offended Shentu Nantian once again, but it hadn't reached the point of irreconcilable enmity. Under these circumstances, in front of the Lin family's higher-ups, Shentu Nantian wouldn't do anything to him.
"The three of you will refine the energy within the Wild Bones for my use! The twelve Wild Bones are arranged in the order of the Twelve Heavens. Whichever bone I need, you will refine the corresponding Savage Power from that bone!"
As Shentu Nantian spoke, he took out a jade jar from his Space Ring. He opened the jar, and a rich aura of blood emanated from it.
It's the blood of Ancient Remnant Species!
People could clearly see that this beast blood was heavy and viscous, containing a rich Savage Power, and was undoubtedly the blood of Ancient Remnant Species.
Shentu Nantian planned to use the bones and blood of wild beasts to refine the elixir from this ancient formula.
"Son!"
Shentu Nantian uttered a single character: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, with "Zi" being the first of the Twelve Heavens.
And this "child" numbered skeleton is in Shentu Hai's hands!
A glint flashed in Shentu Hai's eyes. He also took out an array plate from his Space Ring and began to refine the Savage Power from the "Zi"-class desolate bone.
This is a piece of the desolate bone of King-level Savage Beast, and the bone itself has been processed using an ancient method, making it difficult to extract the Savage Power within.
However, Shentu Hai was prepared, because he had previously come into contact with the Savage Heaven Technique of the Heavenly Desolate Ancient Sect. Although he had not learned it, he at least had some understanding of it.
He moved his ten fingers in rapid succession, casting one hand seal after another. Behind Shentu Hai, the energy formed by the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi converged, faintly forming a black phantom.
The phantom had wings on its back, a blue face, and fangs, looking like a giant bat, extremely ferocious.
"Dharma Aspect Totem?"
People were startled when they saw the black phantom appear. Ordinary people only summon Dharma Aspect Totem during battle, but Shentu Hai actually summoned Dharma Aspect Totem when using the Savage Heaven Technique, which was extremely rare.
"The technique Shentu Hai used is called Black Hand Rakshasa, an extremely rare Savage Heaven Technique. In the past, some Dark Savage Heaven Master liked to use it. Black Hand Rakshasa does indeed require manifesting Dharma Aspect Totem."
Within the Savage Heaven Technique, there exists a group of beings considered taboo; they are known as the Dark Savage Heaven Master.
This group of people was regarded as a heretical sect by the orthodox Savage Heaven Master.
Unlike orthodox Savage Heaven Technique, Dark Savage Heaven Master will go to any lengths to refine Savage Bone Relic that achieve medicinal effects, including using human bones as materials for Savage Heaven Technique.
The reason why the Savage Beast Bones can be used to refine Savage Bone Relic is because the bones contain powerful Savage Power. Similarly, the bodies of those powerful human beings also contain powerful Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.
Sometimes, the bones of Great Wilderness and human bones have the same effect.
Thus, the Dark Savage Heaven Master developed a series of methods for refining relics from the bones of human experts. Tens of millions of years ago, the Dark Savage Heaven Master' lineage reached its peak.
They established many sects specializing in the development of Dark Savage Heaven Technique, as well as a lineage of Dark Lineage, whose Lineage were all Dark Savage Heaven Master.
These Lineage are extremely powerful because they use human bones to refine the Savage Bone Relic by any means necessary. However, they have inherited a lineage of tyranny and cruelty, causing chaos in the world.
They stole the corpses of the dead from righteous sects, Blood Sacrifice young boys and girls, wantonly used young girls as cauldrons for sexual cultivation, and slaughtered mortals to refine Ghost Banner.
Because of their various evil methods, the orthodox Savage Heaven Master, together with some orthodox sects, declared war on the dark world and eventually wiped out several powerful dark Lineage and sects at the time.
The legacy of the Dark Savage Heaven Technique was largely destroyed as a result. However, the Dark Savage Heaven Master did not disappear; he simply went underground.
The "Black Hand Rakshasa" technique used by Shentu Hai is not exclusive to the Dark Savage Heaven Master. Some righteous Savage Heaven Master also use it, but rarely.
This technique is ancient and complex, and many masters of the Savage Heaven Technique have never understood it.
For Shentu Hai to be able to use such techniques at his age is truly remarkable.
Everyone in the Lin family, young and old, had to admit that Shentu Hai was a genius in the Savage Heaven Technique.
Clearly, the collaboration between Shentu Hai and others and Shentu Nantian to refine the ancient formula was an extremely difficult undertaking.
Realizing this, many people became worried about Yi Yun. Although they were complete strangers to Yi Yun, he represented their Lin family and was the only one among the younger generation who could rival the Shentu Family. If Yi Yun lost too badly, they would lose face.
"Junior Brother Yun must have some hidden methods, right?"
"Probably. He was able to break Song Ziyue's grand formation so easily; he can't possibly only use the Mysterious Crystal Hand. Let's wait and see..."
As people were talking, they suddenly stopped in their tracks. They saw a wisp of black energy suddenly burst out from the Desolate Bone in Shentu Hai's hand. This wisp of black energy shot towards Shentu Hai's brow like a venomous snake!
"Huh? That's...!"
People stared wide-eyed; the black aura exuded a very dangerous aura, clearly indicating that it was going to harm Shentu Hai!
Just then, from behind Shentu Hai, the bat-shaped Dharma Aspect Totem shrieked and flew out, swallowing the black energy in one gulp!
Shentu Hai was on edge. After his Dharma Aspect Totem devoured the black energy, he repeatedly formed hand seals and struck the desolate bone, finally suppressing the wisps of black energy completely.
Only after the black energy was completely sealed did Shentu Hai let out a long breath, a smug smile spreading across his face.
"Mental Backlash!!" An older Savage Heaven Master recognized the origin of the black energy.
Within the realm of Savage Heaven Technique, some Desolate Bones are extremely dangerous. If one attempts to refine them without sufficient strength, it could lead to severe consequences.
The Savage Heaven Technique can be deadly!
"No wonder Shentu Hai used the Black Hand Rakshasa technique; it has a great advantage in dealing with Mental Backlash."
An elder of the Lin family, a Savage Heaven Master, said that the reason why the Black Hand Rakshasa was widely used by the Dark Savage Heaven Master was because the Dark Savage Heaven Master needed to refine human bones. Often, the human bones contained resentment, which caused even more Mental Backlash!
Now, the bone of the King-level Savage Beast in Shentu Hai's hand is also experiencing Mental Backlash. This should be related to the inheritance of the Heavenly Desolate Ancient Sect. Some processing methods have made this bone look like this.
Refining such a desolate bone can lead to Mental Backlash, causing damage to the soul sea at best, and turning one into an idiot at worst!
"Shentu Nantian actually chose such an ancient formula. If the 'Zi' grade of the Desolate Bone contains Mental Backlash, then the other grade Desolate Bone might also contain it, or there might be other dangers. These twelve Desolate Bone pieces are definitely not that simple."
People's eyelids twitched as they looked at the twelve bones in Shentu Hai, Shentu Feng, Yi Yun's hands, especially the younger generation, who felt a sense of fear. They were all relieved that they weren't in Yi Yun's position, facing such a situation.
If it were them, they would be in a real dilemma. It would be too shameful to back down now, but if they went ahead anyway, who knows if they would end up as idiots.
Many people began to sympathize with Yi Yun. Although he had extraordinary talent in the Savage Heaven Technique, he was still too young. Moreover, unlike Shentu Hai and Shentu Feng, he had definitely been exposed to the Desolate Savage Heaven Technique of the Heavenly Desolate Ancient Sect before.
At this moment, Shentu Hai had already finished refining the Savage Power from the "Zi"-character desolate bone.
This wisp of Savage Power eventually fell into the array plate beneath Shentu Hai's feet, and a rune on the array plate was subsequently illuminated.
There are twelve runes on this array plate, each corresponding to one of the twelve pieces of desolate bone.
Seeing the corresponding rune light up, Shentu Hai clenched his fist, feeling extremely excited!
It was a success!
Even with Shentu Hai's strength, refining the bones of King-level Savage Beast was still too much of a stretch, especially since he had to be wary of the Mental Backlash from the Shentu Hai, which greatly consumed his mental energy.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, took out a Soul Nurturing Pill from his Space Ring, and swallowed it.
Then, an unnatural flush appeared on his face.
Even when he was refining the "Zi" type of waste bone, he wasn't 100% sure of success. If something went wrong along the way, Shentu Nantian would have to expend his mental energy to help him.
At the Savage Heaven Technique Tea Party, in front of so many people, Shentu Hai was inevitably a little nervous. He was worried that something might go wrong with his control, but fortunately, he succeeded in one fell swoop.
He undoubtedly shone brightly at this Savage Heaven Technique Tea Party, bringing great honor to himself and the Shentu Family.
"Junior Brother Yun, how about it? Do you think you can handle it? If you feel you can't, it's not too late to back out now. Shentu Feng and I can work a little harder and finish your part too." Shentu Hai had a mocking smile on his face, waiting to see Yi Yun's dilemma.
In fact, if Shentu Nantian didn't tell Yi Yun that there was Mental Backlash in the desolate bones, and instead directly tricked Yi Yun and turned him into an idiot, that would be the best outcome.
However, Shentu Nantian certainly couldn't do that at the Savage Heaven Technique Tea Party, in front of so many high-ranking members of the Lin family.
How could the Lin family let such a treacherous act go unpunished? After all, the Shentu Family was still at a slight disadvantage in their negotiations with the Lin family. Shentu Nantian only disliked Yi Yun, not to the point of wanting to kill him. Of course, they wouldn't risk losing more than they gained.
Now that Yi Yun has agreed to cooperate in bone refining, and the problem of Mental Backlash has been revealed, things will be different.
If Yi Yun were smart enough to slink away, Shentu Nantian would have achieved his goal: demonstrating the strength of the Shentu Family while simultaneously humiliating Yi Yun.
