Cultivation Greatly Increased

His Cultivation Soared

In a hidden mountain cave on the outskirts of the Mount Buzhou Range, He Yu circulated the Eight Meridians Mystic Pole at his fastest speed, completing heavenly cycles again and again as he continuously moved the demonic energy within his body. Streams of demonic energy kept surging out from the twenty-five Demon Cores, while streams of demonic energy also flowed into them.

Through the constant tempering and melding, He Yu felt his demonic energy becoming purer and purer. Circulating it also grew increasingly effortless, even more natural than moving his own body. With a single stir of his consciousness, the demonic energy would immediately move perfectly according to his will.

Before he knew it, He Yu already felt that his demonic energy had been completely melded. A little joy rose in his heart, but when he saw that the twenty-five Demon Cores had shrunk by one layer, he was still somewhat depressed. During this melding, his cultivation had also dropped slightly, but in the end, he had resolved a massive hidden danger for the future. Otherwise, if he had left it alone, some serious problem would have inevitably arisen.

Who knew how much time had passed before He Yu emerged from the mountain cave. To his surprise, there were still quite a few demons locked in death battles. Compared to before he began cultivating, their numbers had only decreased by a little over a thousand. Including the ones he had devoured, there were still around eight thousand demons fighting one another.

Looking at the thunderous booms coming from all around, the demonic energy sweeping freely in all directions, and the shards of mountain stone, flowers, grass, and trees flying into the air, He Yu felt delighted.

"Looks like melding my demonic energy this time didn't take much time at all!" He Yu also found it unbelievable. He had never melded impure demonic energy before and did not know how long it would take, but according to the information described in his memories, the required time was not short—at least ten days, perhaps half a month. He had not expected to finish melding it in such a short while. After thinking about it, He Yu understood. This place was the Primordial World!

How could the beginning of the Primordial World be compared to later generations? Here, even cultivating a third-rate art was ten times faster than cultivating a first-rate art in later generations.

Once his demonic energy was melded, He Yu immediately threw himself back into the great undertaking of devouring. All the demons on the outskirts of the Mount Buzhou Range became demonic energy to improve his cultivation. Everything proceeded in an orderly fashion, and he encountered no major obstacles while devouring them. After all, He Yu's cultivation was far stronger than these demons'.

The first time, he had devoured several hundred demons in one breath before feeling his strength fail. This time, He Yu devoured them one by one along the way, swallowing no fewer than two thousand demons in succession before he felt his strength fail. He Yu had long expected this. After all, his cultivation had now greatly increased, and earlier, there had also been the influence of the Python Demon's Demon Core.

Returning once more to that hidden mountain cave to meld his demonic energy, He Yu had already made up his mind. Once he came out again, he would devour all the remaining demons in one go.

This time, the melding went even more smoothly than before, so fast that He Yu was incomparably astonished. After pondering briefly, he understood. What he had melded earlier had mainly been the Python Demon's demonic energy. As for those lesser demons? Their demonic energy was far too weak in grade compared to his, so melding it was very simple. This discovery made He Yu overjoyed again. In that case, his cultivation would increase even faster than he had estimated.

After fifty heavenly cycles, the melding was complete. He Yu came out once more!

By now, the remaining five thousand or so lesser demons had also discovered that something was unusual. Many had stopped fighting and gathered together. He Yu did not care. His current cultivation was already enough to devour all the demons at once, so there was no need for him to keep sneaking around.

Rumble!

Intense cyan demonic energy erupted, soaring more than ten zhang into the air and spreading through the area within one li around him. He Yu's huge crab body, one meter in size, also appeared before the demons. Those two sinister and terrifying giant crab claws were covered in countless half-foot-long spikes, glinting with cold light. His crab shell and six smaller pincers were also covered in inch-long spikes, and his pair of eyes flickered from time to time with cyan divine light.

Among these lesser demons, He Yu's demon body could only be considered below average in size, but facing him, all the demons were silent as winter cicadas, so terrified that they did not dare move.

Strength reigned supreme! Cultivation reigned supreme!

Here, profound cultivation could dominate everything. Through his earlier devouring, He Yu's cultivation had already grown to a terrifying level, quite a bit stronger than Hei. Among the hundred-odd Demon Kings, cultivation like this was already above average!

Looking at the five thousand-plus lesser demons, truth be told, He Yu did want to subdue them. But he still gave up. With his cultivation, it would be enough to take these lesser demons under his command, but as long as a more powerful demon appeared, they would immediately turn against him. If this were an ordinary time, he would not have minded subduing them and spending some time training them, at least ensuring they would not betray him easily. But now was an extraordinary moment. The struggle for Pangu's Information could not allow even the slightest mistake.

These lesser demons might become He Yu's support in the struggle for Pangu's Information, but at the same time, they might also become an obstacle. In that case, it was better to devour them all into his own cultivation. Cultivation was an aid that belonged entirely to him!

Once his mind was set, He Yu ignored what the demons were thinking and directly used Mystic Pole Devour. As his cultivation strengthened, the might of this divine ability had also increased severalfold. After many uses, both its efficiency and his proficiency had greatly improved. Now, he could already preserve seven-tenths of the demonic energy for his own use.

Turbulent, heaven-toppling demonic energy surged toward the lesser demons, wrapping up a vast mass of them amid their shock and terror. This one move enveloped at least no fewer than three thousand lesser demons in He Yu's demonic energy. Facing so many demons, He Yu did not dare be careless. He hurriedly operated Mystic Pole Devour with all his might, while also using the terrifying demonic pressure he gave off to suppress the three thousand lesser demons.

Under He Yu's terrifying demonic pressure, all these lesser demons lost every trace of color in their faces, and they could not bring out even thirty percent of their strength. Quite a few timid ones had already had their courage shattered from fright.

As the demonic pressure suppressed them, He Yu immediately used the Cyan Vortex to begin absorbing and devouring. The vortex's power could no longer be mentioned in the same breath as before. Its might was incomparably tremendous.

Under the suppression of his demonic pressure, the vortex's absorption and devouring went very smoothly. Although there was some struggling, it could not shake the greater trend.

In a short while, all three thousand lesser demons were devoured, turning into immensely abundant demonic energy that merged into the demonic energy He Yu had released, instantly causing the might of his demonic energy to double.

At this moment, the remaining two thousand-plus lesser demons had already had their courage shattered. They scattered in every direction and fled, running, flying with wings, riding demonic clouds... utter chaos. Countless cries of alarm and sounds of panic traveled far into the distance.

Feeling that he could still continue devouring, He Yu rode the clouds and drove the mist as he chased after the scattering lesser demons. His cultivation was profound, and the speed of his demonic cloud was far faster than the other demons'. He easily caught up to the largest group of lesser demons, devoured them amid a wave of panicked screams and pleading thoughts, then continued toward another large group of lesser demons.

Constantly devouring them along every route, He Yu kept busy without pause. In the end, over a thousand lesser demons still escaped, but he did not care. At this point, he was already very satisfied with his gains. Once he finished melding this demonic energy, he would have ample confidence to enter the Mount Buzhou Range and fight for Pangu's Information.

With no demons left, He Yu immediately found a random hidden place and began melding the demonic energy he had devoured this time. Although he had devoured quite a few lesser demons this time, it was still far from enough to make him feel his strength failing. Moreover, the grade of his demonic energy far surpassed these lesser demons', so melding it was very simple. After several dozen heavenly cycles, he had successfully melded it.

At this moment, He Yu's cultivation had already risen to an extremely powerful realm. His main Demon Core could no longer continue growing and remained at three inches in diameter, while the Demon Cores in the Twenty-Four Inner Mansions had also reached two inches in diameter.

He Yu, who possessed countless pieces of cultivation information, knew that his main Demon Core had already broken through the early Golden Core realm and reached the middle Golden Core realm. As long as he cultivated until the Demon Core gave off cyan divine light, he would perfectly enter the late Golden Core realm. After that would come merging the three souls and seven spirits into the Demon Core to transform them into a Primordial Spirit. Thinking of this, another headache struck him. He was different from other cultivating beings! Others only had one Golden Core, one Demon Core, but he had twenty-five.

"Could it be that in the future, I'll need to split my three souls and seven spirits into twenty-five portions?" He Yu himself found it absurd. Splitting the three souls and seven spirits was not a simple matter. Usually, one had to cultivate to the early Primordial Spirit stage before barely being able to split off one portion. As for splitting off two, the difficulty increased severalfold; three portions increased severalfold again. By twenty-five portions, it was simply unimaginable.

For now, there was no need to worry about these things. After thinking about it briefly, He Yu set it aside. Right now, the most important thing was still Pangu's Information. Thinking of this, He Yu immediately drove his demonic cloud into the Mount Buzhou Range. Now that his cultivation had advanced greatly, he no longer cared about those powerful Demon Kings.

They were all only at the early Golden Core level, while he was now at the middle Golden Core level! And he also had twenty-four Demon Cores with terrifying demonic energy.
