The Backlash of Three Powers
"My body has been imbued with Demon Power, and I still possess Demon Power that is rising within me!"
When Divine Lord Zhenyuan shouted, Zhang Xuezhou's expression changed drastically.
If the body's internal energy cannot be released, then the only solution is internal conflict.
Divine Lord Zhenyuan's reminder almost perfectly matched Zhang Xuezhou's conjecture.
There are very few people in the world who possess both literary and martial arts skills; Zhang Xuezhou has only met one such person, Dong Zhongshu, over the years.
Zhang Xuezhou primarily cultivates through Technique Method, supplemented by Demon Power, and also possesses the power of his normal physical body Qi and Blood.
If there is no cultivation technique to drive the simultaneous consumption of Law Power, Demon Power, and Qi and Blood energy, the power drawn by Suoyang will continuously impact the body until it collapses.
"My Lord, hurry up and use that skill of yours that you use to hollow out my stomach, and take out the Cynomorium from my belly!" Zhang Xuezhou said anxiously.
"Have you forgotten the Yin-Yang Millstone I just released? I have no Law Power left to control it right now!"
Divine Lord Zhenyuan stretched out his hands.
After failing to unleash the Yin-Yang Millstone technique, his body was already exhausted.
He still had most of his magical Law Power remaining, and it was even surging upwards, but this Law Power was locked up by the Yang-locking medicine, and he couldn't release any of it at this moment.
Moreover, Cynomorium songaricum is not Myriad Dharma Lotus. When these things are chewed up and swallowed, they are sparse and cannot be removed like gallstones.
"We're doomed!" Zhang Xuezhou exclaimed.
"It's not us, it's very likely only you," Divine Lord Zhenyuan corrected. "My cultivation level hasn't reached its peak yet. There's still room for improvement in the Yin Talisman Scripture and Yang Talisman Scripture. If I add another Qi and Blood Cultivation Technique, I can barely suppress the balance of my body."
"Then what should I do?" Zhang Xuezhou shouted.
"How can the power within your body be so mixed?" Divine Lord Zhenyuan asked with a headache, "I don't know what to do either!"
If one could still rely on one's natural Law Power to quickly learn cultivation methods and maintain balance within the body by working Qi and Blood, then when Zhang Xuezhou mentioned that there was still Demon Power within his body, Divine Lord Zhenyuan felt that even the Three Pure Ones Heavenly Venerables were powerless to help him.
The effects of Cynomorium songaricum are not related to poison, but its destructive power is even greater than that of potent and virulent toxins.
Having always relied on their Poison Avoidance Instruction to roam freely, neither Zhang Xuezhou nor Divine Lord Zhenyuan ever imagined that they would both suffer a setback.
"I know a little about feng shui and finding auspicious sites," Divine Lord Zhenyuan said quickly.
"And then?" Zhang Xuezhou exclaimed.
"If you die here, Holy Son, I will definitely find you a good burial place and will absolutely not feed you to the Longevity Fruit Tree," Divine Lord Zhenyuan assured him. "I will also guard your spirit for seventy-two days to ensure that your body does not turn into a zombie or ghost!"
"Then thank you!"
Zhang Xuezhou cried out, already certain that he could only save himself from this predicament.
At this moment, Divine Lord Zhenyuan was preoccupied with his own survival, his face pale as he circulated his body, and he did not appear to be in a safe position.
Divine Lord Zhenyuan wasn't sure if he could pass the test, so Zhang Xuezhou was even less certain.
He reached out and pulled, causing the golden feathers on his arms to bristle and spread out as if their feathers had been ruffled.
This is one of the few times Zhang Xuezhou has used his Demon Power. Because he has never used it, his Demon Power is extremely abundant and can be used normally.
After Suoyang recovered most of his Law Power, what first stimulated and burst his body was not the weak Qi and Blood and qi in his body, but the Demon Power that had not been used for a long time, which continued to accumulate upwards on the basis of abundant Demon Power.
"I'm going to die!"
With his Demon Power, Zhang Xuezhou could see his entire body and imagine his Law Power and Qi and Blood energy expanding and impacting his body.
Perhaps when it overflows to the point that his body can no longer support it, his body will explode like golden wings.
"I wonder if the leaves of that poisonous tree can help me accelerate my cultivation!"
If Zhang Xuezhou were to seek a savior, Divine Lord Zhenyuan, who was deep in thought and cultivation beside him, was not the one to turn to for help; the poisonous tree at Duanhun Ridge, on the other hand, might be a possibility.
Nearly a month later, Zhang Xuezhou's skills in sand entangling, sand dissolving, and cloud soaring have not declined, but have remained at a high level. His cloud soaring skill even reaches the level of Divine Ability flight.
This method of advancement was so fierce and intense that Zhang Xuezhou also harbored a sliver of hope for a rapid advancement in his cultivation.
What he was currently unsure of was whether the effects of the drug in his body had worn off, and whether the poisonous leaves could have an effect on him again.
There's no other choice!
Regardless of whether the idea was sound or not, Zhang Xuezhou didn't have many options, and he even lacked the time to consider it repeatedly.
With a sweep of its golden wings, Zhang Xuezhou left a faint streak across his body before transforming into a small golden dot in the sky and disappearing from sight.
"The Holy Son's abilities are extraordinary; he has even concealed a Demon Power technique for flight, which surpasses his flight capabilities in his human form!"
It is not unusual to possess two different flying abilities. Many great gods in the Heavenly Court also possess the ability to fly in their demon form and the strength to fly in their human form.
Generally speaking, those who become gods in demonic form have stronger flying abilities in their demonic bodies, while they are weaker in their human form, which is more of a means to maintain interpersonal relationships.
This also forms a normal form and a battle form, and is also referred to as the first form and the second form.
Zhang Xuezhou's possession of two different flying abilities surprised Divine Lord Zhenyuan, and the fact that his flying power was even stronger in his demon form surprised Divine Lord Zhenyuan, since Zhang Xuezhou was in human form and only in human form was he in a normal combat form.
But when he looked at the golden dot that disappeared into the sky, Divine Lord Zhenyuan felt for some reason that Zhang Xuezhou was even stronger when he took on another form.
Hidden strength is a good thing, but it can also bring difficult-to-solve problems to the body.
"What a pity!"
Using Demon Power to leap can reduce the abundance of Demon Power in the body, but in this state, it is obviously impossible to promote cultivation and cause internal consumption, nor is it possible to solve the problem of the expansion of Law Power and Qi and Blood. Zhang Xuezhou seems to be leaping, but Divine Lord Zhenyuan already knows Zhang Xuezhou's final outcome.
He gestured in the direction Zhang Xuezhou had flown away, a feeling of heaviness and difficulty in flying washed over him, along with stinging pains in various acupoints throughout his body. Divine Lord Zhenyuan's expression changed drastically, and he could no longer care about anything else.
No wonder you've lived so long!
Divine Lord Zhenyuan glared at Suoyang with hatred.
They were most likely not the first great cultivators to discover Suoyang, nor the first to consume it.
News of this powerful medicinal herb did not spread far and wide, perhaps because people lost interest after learning of its efficacy, or perhaps those who had seen and taken it had already died.
In this matter, the cultivators have clearly repeated the same mistakes time and time again, being tricked by the seemingly harmless Suoyang.
"If this old Daoist priest survives this ordeal, he will definitely deal with you, you scourge!"
Divine Lord Zhenyuan harbored deep resentment, but ultimately, due to the omnipresent stinging pain throughout his body, he was forced into a struggle of internal energy depletion during cultivation.
