Spirit Aunt Awakens

"Bang!"

Not long after Lin Langtian stepped into the cave, the dark black light mass suddenly began to expand violently.

And along with the expansion was the colossal ape shadow within it.

The Ancient Dragon Ape seemed to sense someone plotting against it, and it let out a furious roar. Immediately, streaks of dark black light shot out from the light mass, striking towards Lin Langtian.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian was stunned for a moment. Then, the Primal Energy within his body quickly circulated to his hands, forming a giant Primal Energy palm.

The giant Primal Energy palm, carrying terrifying might, clashed head-on with the black light.

"Boom!"

Under the confrontation, the residual energy caused the entire cave to tremble, and broken stones continuously fell from the cave ceiling.

"As expected of a Nirvana-stage Demonic Beast. Even though this adult Ancient Dragon Ape has now become a Demonic Spirit, its strength is not much weaker than a juvenile Ancient Dragon Ape, perhaps even stronger..."

Sensing the destructive power of the black light, Lin Langtian retreated dozens of steps before stabilizing himself. His expression then sharpened, and he said in a deep voice.

He had originally thought capturing the Ancient Dragon Ape's Demonic Spirit would be a sure thing, but he hadn't expected it to be so troublesome.

With his current strength, it would be a pity to let a Nirvana-stage Demonic Spirit escape if he wasn't careful.

"Little fellow, you've done very well. Leave the rest to me!"

As Lin Langtian's expression kept changing, the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow's consciousness suddenly sounded in his mind.

Caw!

At the same time, a clear cry suddenly emanated from within Lin Langtian.

Upon hearing this cry, the Ancient Dragon Ape's huge eyes not far away suddenly filled with a trace of fear.

"Swish!"

In Lin Langtian's eyes, a black flame suddenly blazed forth, and with a whoosh, it transformed into two beams of black flame light, each about ten feet long, piercing straight through the void.

Hiss!

The Ancient Dragon Ape Demonic Spirit could only see a flash of black light, and then it felt a sharp pain.

The beams of light, burning with black flame, had directly shattered the dark black light mass.

"Roar!"

As the dark black light mass exploded, the Ancient Dragon Ape let out a roar, and a powerful energy fluctuation spread out.

"Hiss!"

The light mass shattered, and the Demonic Spirit hidden within was revealed. It was a colossal ape, dozens of feet long. However, the ape's body now appeared quite ethereal, a characteristic of its Demonic Spirit form.

"Boom!"

As soon as the Ancient Dragon Ape Demonic Spirit appeared, it clenched its fists, and a terrifying black light condensed, which it then hurled towards Lin Langtian.

The might of this punch was even three points stronger than that of a juvenile Ancient Dragon Ape!

"Stubborn beast, the noble Nine Nether Flame Sparrow wishes to devour your Demonic Spirit, and you dare to resist! You're seeking death!"

The Ancient Dragon Ape struggled fiercely, clearly annoying the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow. With a thought, a dense black flame surged out from within Lin Langtian.

Then, above Lin Langtian, these black flames condensed into a colossal being!

The black flames swirled, and Lin Langtian could only make out some blurry parts, but he could tell it was a Nine Nether Flame Sparrow magnified countless times!

Caw!

As soon as the colossal being took shape, it let out a cry towards the Ancient Dragon Ape.

The cry was filled with extreme terror and pressure. Under its roar, the Ancient Dragon Ape, with its dragon bloodline, began to tremble, and fear filled its ape-like eyes.

"Enter this seat!"

The colossal being formed by the black flames suddenly extended its sharp claws and fiercely slammed them onto the body of the Ancient Dragon Ape Demonic Spirit.

Suffering such a heavy blow, the Demonic Spirit let out a shrill cry, then transformed into a black light and was swallowed into the mouth of the giant Nine Nether Flame Sparrow.

"Pfft!"

Just as the Ancient Dragon Ape Demonic Spirit was swallowed, the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow phantom above Lin Langtian completely dissipated.

"It's done?"

Seeing the battle end so quickly, Lin Langtian was surprised. Then, with a thought, his consciousness entered his dantian.

Inside his dantian, Spirit Aunt, who was linked to him by bloodline, had completely awakened. She opened her eyes, and a hint of favor appeared in her gaze as she looked at Lin Langtian.

"This Ancient Dragon Ape, in terms of bloodline and strength, is quite good for this remote place. It seems you haven't been slacking off recently. I owe you a personal favor for this matter," the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow said.

Lin Langtian was stunned. It seemed this Nine Nether Flame Sparrow was quite reasonable, not acting arrogant or overbearing just because he was weaker. This made Lin Langtian feel his hard work over the past few days hadn't been in vain.

Thinking this, Lin Langtian felt a bit better and chuckled, "Spirit Aunt, you're too kind. We are now linked by bloodline and are one. Your matters are my matters, no need for politeness."

"Mmm..." The Nine Nether Flame Sparrow clearly didn't want to discuss the bloodline link further. It nodded noncommittally and then said.

"The will within the Ancient Dragon Ape Demonic Spirit has been erased. Let's refine it together next. However, most of the energy will belong to me, and besides, you wouldn't be able to withstand such a massive amount of energy."

"Heh heh, naturally so," Lin Langtian readily agreed.

It's important to remember that an adult Ancient Dragon Ape is comparable to a Nirvana Realm human expert, possessing incredibly potent energy.

Even though most of the energy was refined by the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow, Lin Langtian still benefited greatly from even a small portion. If he had tried to absorb it all himself, he would have exploded.

Hummm!

As Lin Langtian finished speaking, his dantian began to faintly churn. Under Spirit Aunt's control, the energy from the Ancient Dragon Ape started to pour out continuously.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian formed hand seals and absorbed all the surging energy.

A dark, mysterious core floated in his dantian, rotating slowly and steadily. As it spun, it absorbed the boundless energy within the dantian!

"Boom!"

As time passed, at a certain moment, an extremely deep sound suddenly erupted within Lin Langtian's body.

In the cave, his tightly shut eyes suddenly snapped open, revealing Black Flame surging within them, sharp and domineering.

"Bang!"

An invisible wave of Qi burst forth from Lin Langtian's body. The surrounding gravel instantly turned to dust, and even the mountain wall cracked open with fissures as thick as an arm.

"Hoo..."

Lin Langtian's gaze swept around, and an extremely powerful aura slowly spread from within him. This aura was countless times stronger than before!

"Late Qi Shaping Realm!"

Inside the dantian, sensing Lin Langtian's breakthrough, the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow's expression remained indifferent, offering no comment.

However, when her gaze shifted and her peripheral vision caught sight of the golden mirror floating in the corner of the dantian, her expression suddenly froze.

As she observed it closely, in the next moment, Spirit Aunt's eyes, which had always been calm like a deep pool, revealed a rare trace of shock.

"This thing... wasn't it destroyed? How is it here!?"
