Alien Demon General Advances!

A warm and vast light filled Xiao Yan's vision, making him feel as if he were in the chaotic center of the beginning of the universe.

The enormous ball of light was not a physical entity, but rather a core of consciousness formed from countless profound runes and pure energy, exuding an ancient and majestic aura.

"A being from another world... possessing the Devouring Ancestral Symbol... with a pure soul... and an unyielding will..."

A grand and vast voice resounded directly in Xiao Yan's mind, not through his ears, but through a resonance at the level of his soul.

The voice carried endless vicissitudes, as if it had traversed the ages; it was the spirit of the Primordial Demon-Suppressing Stele -Suppressing Stele!

Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately composed himself, respectfully responding in his mind:

"This junior, Xiao Yan, Dou Qi Continent from the Primordial One-Qi Sect. By chance, I entered the ruins of the Primordial Qi Sect. Guided by Senior Devourer, I learned that this stele is a divine object, used to suppress Alien Demon and protect the world. I yearn for it and have come here to seek its inheritance, hoping to carry on your sect's legacy and vanquish demons to uphold justice!"

The spirit of the monument rippled slightly, and asked with a hint of scrutiny:

"The path of cultivation in this other world is completely different from the system of Yuan Power and spiritual power in our world. What makes you think you can carry on the legacy of our sect?"

This is a test!

Xiao Yan instantly understood the meaning of the stele spirit.

The spirit of the monument did not reject him, but was seeing if he had the ability and qualifications to understand and control the Primordial One-Qi.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, his mind flashing rapidly through the Master of Devouring's description of the Primordial One-Qi, as well as his own understanding of "Primordial Qi" in his past and present lives.

His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he replied in a deep voice:

"Senior, you are mistaken. Dou Qi and Yuan Power may differ in form, but both are manifestations of energy. In the beginning of heaven and earth, before all things took shape, it was called 'Primordial Beginning.' As for the so-called 'Primordial One-Qi,' I believe it is not a specific energy, but rather the state of mind and law of 'simplifying complexity, returning to the original state, and restoring all tangible, material, and attributed energies to the formless, material, attributeless, and attributeless initial origin'!"

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yan activated the Devouring Ancestral Symbol to enhance his soul power, and an aura of all-encompassing eternity and profound depth spread out from the depths of his soul.

"What I seek, the Primordial One-Qi, is precisely the supreme truth of 'all things return to their origin, returning to the Primordial Beginning'! With this truth, I can control all kinds of energy, whether it be Dou Qi, Yuan Power, or spiritual power, all of which can be transformed into 'Primordial One-Qi,' breaking all laws and suppressing all evils. I am certain that I can restrain such Alien Demon beings as demons that are intolerable to heaven and earth!"

Xiao Yan's words were powerful and resonant, carrying his understanding of the "Primordial One-Qi" and his unwavering belief in eradicating the Alien Demon.

Moreover, in his view, since the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, which was a manifestation of the Devouring Law of the Tianxuan Continent, had been refined by him, a person from another world, then the Primordial One-Qi was not something he could not comprehend.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's reply, the spirit of the monument's light fluctuated violently, and its ancient voice revealed an undisguised surprise and a hint of relief!

"Excellent! What a wonderful 'All things return to their origin, returning to the primordial state'! Your comprehension is truly astonishing! You have actually managed to glimpse the true essence of our sect's heritage! Truly extraordinary!"

The spirit's approval resonated like a great bell, stirring Xiao Yan's soul.

It continued:

"Now that you understand this principle, you are qualified to inherit the mantle of our sect. However, the Primordial One-Qi is profound and unfathomable, and cannot be cultivated without great perseverance and wisdom. Your soul is resilient, your body is strong, your foundation is solid, and your comprehension is astonishing. Today, I will transmit to you the <Primordial Origin-Returning Scripture>!"

Boom!

The enormous ball of light suddenly erupted with unprecedented brilliance, and countless profound runes, images, and insights surged into Xiao Yan's sea of consciousness like a flood bursting its banks!

The Primordial Origin-Returning Scripture!

This is not merely a cultivation method for the Primordial One-Qi, but also the core inheritance principle of the Primordial One-Qi Sect!

It includes:

The Cultivation Method of the Primordial One-Qi -- The Primordial True Interpretation.

It comes with three martial arts techniques.

Firstly, the Primordial Dharma Eye.

This is a powerful spiritual eye technique, a spiritual martial art. Once mastered, this technique allows the eyes to pierce through illusions and directly perceive the essence of energy. In battle, one can see through the nodes and flaws in the opponent's energy flow, and even directly "see" the core of the Alien Demon. Combined with the Primordial One-Qi, one can find and kill it instantly!

Secondly, the Primordial Dharma Form, Heavenly Martial Arts. Initially, it allows one to integrate Primordial One-Qi primordial energy into the body or condense it into weapons or armor. Regardless of the type of attack, it can partially or completely "transform" into the most primitive energy, weakening or even eliminating its power.

Upon reaching the highest level of cultivation, one can transform oneself into the Primordial Dharma Form. During the duration of this Dharma Form, one is nearly invincible and can fight against opponents of higher levels. However, Primordial Dharma Form lasts for too long, it will cause one to irreversibly transform into the Primordial One-Qi. Only by learning the other four Daoist scriptures and forming a system can one avoid this harm.

However, the * Primordial Origin-Returning Scripture * makes no mention of the other four Daoist scriptures.

Thirdly, the Primordial Demon-Suppressing Seal is also a Heavenly Martial Art. It is an attack method targeting Alien Demon, which requires the Primordial One-Qi to drive it. It has a very strong restraining and purifying effect on Alien Demon energy.

Compared to the Primordial Dharma Form, which has a time limit, the Primordial Demon-Suppressing Seal was the common method used by the disciples of the Primordial One-Qi Sect to suppress that alien Alien Demon General.

In addition, he also gained some insights into cultivation, which truly benefited Xiao Yan greatly.

With those insights, Xiao Yan's efficiency in cultivating these martial arts techniques will also become higher.

A massive amount of information bombarded Xiao Yan's mind, but fortunately, his soul realm had reached the Mid-Stage Spirit Realm, and with the Devouring Ancestral Symbol guarding his mind, he experienced virtually no discomfort.

Xiao Yan focused his mind intently, absorbing and comprehending this profound knowledge like a sponge.

In that instant, he seemed to see the scene from ancient times, when the great powers of the Primordial One-Qi Sect invoked the "Primordial" intent of heaven and earth, and with a wave of their hands, all laws returned to their origin, causing the ferocious Alien Demon General to collapse!

The true meaning of "Primordial" and his "Buddha Fury Fire Lotus" pursued ultimate destruction, burning everything and returning it to nothingness, seemingly led to the same goal, which gave him a completely new understanding of the control and use of his own power!

"Buzz--!"

Just as Xiao Yan was immersed in the ocean of inheritance, the entire consciousness space, along with the main hall outside, suddenly trembled!

An extremely evil, violent, and destructive wave, like an ancient beast awakening from its slumber, erupted from the depths of the main hall!

Xiao Yan was taken aback at first, then his expression darkened.

Is it that Alien Demon General?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan temporarily put aside the inheritance he had obtained in his mind, and then his mind stirred slightly as he looked at the spirit of the stele in front of him.

"Senior, could it be that Alien Demon General...?"

Before Xiao Yan could finish speaking, the ball of light in front of him began to flicker violently.

"That Alien Demon General to advance! You must leave this place. I will use all my power to suppress Alien Demon later."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan did not rush to leave, but instead said in a deep voice:

"Senior, I also have some skills that can lend you a hand!"

The words had barely left his mouth when Xiao Yan felt a blur before his eyes, and his consciousness instantly returned to his body.

Xiao Yan suddenly opened his eyes, and a strange scene of the beginning of chaos and the return of all things to their origin flashed by. An indescribable, profound aura that seemed to be able to dissolve all things flashed by on him and then disappeared, and was then withdrawn by him.

"Xiao Yan!"

Queen Medusa and the others were also awakened by this sudden, terrifying, and evil aura. Their expressions changed drastically, and they instantly stood up, frantically circulating their Dou Qi as they warily looked at the Primordial Demon-Suppressing Stele in the center of the hall, which was trembling violently and whose light was flickering!

Li Lingjing had already stood up, her pretty face solemn. She released the terrifying aura of Ninth-Turn Peak Dou Zun without reservation. The Supreme Wonderful Five-Tone Array spun rapidly, emitting a clear and exciting sound. Strings of notes flowed around her, exuding a terrifying aura.

"Don't panic, I'll handle it."

Xiao Yan shouted in a deep voice, his tone carrying an unprecedented solemnity.

He instantly stood up, and his Mid-Stage Spirit Realm soul power surged forth like a tide, accurately sensing the source of that evil fluctuation—it was the core suppressed by the Primordial Demon-Suppressing Stele- Suppressing Stele deep beneath the main hall!

"Hehehe... Old Ghost Yiyuan, you have suppressed me for ten thousand years, and now the power of this broken monument is finally beginning to weaken! Once I break free from this seal, I will surely wash this world in blood to avenge my imprisonment!"

A hoarse roar filled with resentment and violence, like a chilling wind from the depths of hell, pierced through the thick rocks and seals, directly impacting everyone's soul, sending chills down their spines and shaking their minds.

Rumble!

The earth trembled violently, and the light on the Primordial Demon-Suppressing Stele flickered rapidly. The originally ancient and profound inscriptions now became dim and uncertain, as if they might go out at any moment.

Streams of pitch-black, viscous demonic energy, like living things, surged wildly from the cracks between the base of the stone tablet and the ground. They were highly corrosive and devouring, and wherever they passed, even the hard, dark gold rocks sizzled and quickly became dull and decayed!

"What the hell is this thing?"

Li Lingjing's expression was somewhat unpleasant, and Dou Qi at the Ninth-Turn Peak Dou Zun erupted without reservation.

The moment that Alien Demon energy spread, even a powerful woman like her felt an overwhelming sense of dread, as if she were about to perish there.

She naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for her death. Immediately, she changed her hand seals rapidly. The originally clear and Supreme Wonderful Five-Tone Array instantly turned into a rousing and high-pitched one. The five sounds of Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu transformed into golden sound wave blades that were as solid as a storm, sweeping towards the scattered demonic energy.

Sizzle!

The golden sound waves collided violently with the Black Demon energy, producing a piercing melting sound.

The demonic energy was largely purified and dispelled, but even more demonic energy continued to gush out from the ground, seemingly endless.

Although the sound waves are strong, they can only slightly slow down the rate of their spread.

But Li Lingjing's expression did not soften; instead, it became even more serious.

Because she discovered that wherever the demonic energy passed, even the energy of heaven and earth was polluted. Although her Dou Qi sound waves could purify some of the demonic energy, a considerable portion of her Dou Qi sound waves were directly eroded and assimilated by the demonic energy!

"Teacher, Senior Tian Huo, I'm afraid I'll have to borrow the power of both of you this time!"

Xiao Yan thought to himself.

"Hehe, take it and use it!"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Skyfire and Old Yao smiled faintly. Immediately afterwards, two powerful soul energies surged out from the black and white Storage Ring worn by Xiao Yan on his hands, continuously pouring into Xiao Yan's body.

At the same time, Xiao Yan also directly used the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations to raise his Dou Qi realm to the Three-Star Dou Zong realm.

With the addition of the soul power of Old Yao and Venerable Skyfire, Xiao Yan's aura actually surged directly to the Five-Star Dou Zun!

However, even with Xiao Yan's Mid-Stage Spirit Realm soul power and the Devouring Ancestral Symbol guarding his soul sea, he clearly felt that his body could not withstand such a massive amount of power for long and that he had to finish the battle quickly.

"Medusa, Zi Yan, Master Si, and the two elders, you must leave this place immediately! Aunt Jing, just maintain the formation, leave the rest to me!"

Ignoring the astonished expressions on the faces of the crowd due to his sudden surge in aura, Xiao Yan quickly made his arrangements.

He took a step forward, and his figure appeared beside the violently trembling Primordial Demon-Suppressing Stele.

"Devouring Senior!"

Xiao Yan called out in his mind.

"Haha, you've got some skills, kid. Looks like I can save some effort. Don't worry, leave everything to me!"

The Master of Devouring's loud laughter, filled with an overbearing and domineering aura, echoed in Xiao Yan's mind.

In an instant, an indescribable, terrifying Devouring Power erupted from Xiao Yan's center!

Buzz!

The runes of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol suddenly lit up between Xiao Yan's brows, their deep black light resembling a small black hole.

The surging Alien Demon energy seemed to have encountered its natural nemesis. It was forcibly pulled by this overwhelming suction force, and like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, it rushed wildly towards Xiao Yan's brow, where it was completely devoured and refined by the Devouring Ancestral Symbol!

"The Devouring Ancestral Symbol! No, the Master of Devouring? So it was you who secretly imprisoned me all these years!?"

Deep underground, the Alien Demon General's roar suddenly rose, filled with disbelief, horror, and a hint of fear.

The title of Master of Devouring is a nightmare for the Alien Demon!

It had been secretly accumulating energy, and when it was distracted by the transmission of its inheritance to Xiao Yan through the Primordial Demon-Suppressing Stele- Suppressing Stele, which caused it to reveal some weaknesses, it launched a fierce counterattack and attempted to advance to the King-Tier Alien Demon, completely break through the seal, escape, and avenge its previous humiliation.

However, he never expected that the person who had been secretly helping the Primordial Demon-Suppressing Stele to plot against him all these years was actually the legendary Master of Devouring?

"No, if it were the Master of Devouring, would he have spared me until now? Your aura is so weak, it seems you're almost dead. Today, no one can stop me! Once I get out, I'll definitely taste what the Lord of Master of Devouring Primordial Spirit is like!"

Soon, having realized some of the truth, the Alien Demon General became arrogant again. Clearly, it was getting a little too cocky as it was about to evolve into the Alien Demon King.

Regardless of the circumstances, this battle will be a clash between the fully-powered Alien Demon King and the Master of Devouring, and the advantage lies with me!

In response, Xiao Yan, whose eyes gradually turned into two pairs of black holes, curled up a domineering smile that seemed to look down upon the world.

He calmly and unhurriedly stepped through the Alien Demon energy and walked unharmed to the Primordial Demon-Suppressing Stele. He stretched out his hands, using his waist to drive his arms, and his strength rose from the ground.

The next moment, Xiao Yan pulled out the enormous Primordial Demon-Suppressing Stele, then held it in one hand, using it as a sword, and pointed it at the pit below from which demonic energy was constantly gushing out.

"How dare you, a mere ant who doesn't even qualify as False King, shout at me?"
