Doubt

The black frost covering the Hu Mang's body was like an ice cocoon, enveloping it layer upon layer. It floated and sank in the Yin energy, without revealing even the slightest bit of its vitality.

After breaking the deadlock, for a short time, neither the Heavenly Secrets Evolution of the female Thunder God nor the Judgment of Righteousness and Devilry could find him.

And he can also review that life-or-death game that just happened.

There are two key points in this life-or-death game: one is a chance to live, and the other is a chance to die.

The key to survival lies in defeating the Blessing-Prayer Decree amidst the encirclement and attack of the Thunder God's subordinates, for he is the opponent of the Judgment of Righteousness and Devilry " faction; he is the righteous path, while he is the demonic path.

If the opponent cannot be defeated, then the game will remain unresolved.

The other party was obviously aware of this, which is why they chose someone who could fold paper figures. Their true form was well hidden. If it weren't for the fact that the "Primordial Spirit" level Great Mudra was too abnormal and directly attacked from a lower dimension, Hu would probably have had a hard time finding the other party.

The strange thing about this paper figure is that it is full of vitality, just like a living person, which is completely different from the martial arts techniques that Old Chen has studied.

As for the "dead end," it is undoubtedly the mysterious woman named Gong Lei.

Even if he were to unleash his full power and wipe out all of Thunder God's subordinates, then according to the usual procedure, this big boss would make his entrance with villainous sound effects.

Logically speaking, this level of deadly trap should be impossible for Hu Mang to break.

But Hu Mang has a cheat code.

The greatest advantage is naturally the "Eye of the Tribulation Dragon." As long as there is a calamity, these Dragon Eye can devour it and, by pushing the calamity forward, attain a higher level of realm.

The second trick was his self-created "Buddha-Devil Evolution," which proved to be quite effective.

The last unexpected surprise was the Seven Absolutes Devil Meridians he had just awakened, the "Cauldron-Boiling Devil Meridian." However, without such intense Buddha-Devil Transformation, awakening this thing would not have been easy.

"The Cauldron-Boiling Devil Meridian, the Cauldron Boiling."

At this very moment, this demonic vein, even thicker than the twelve meridians, is continuously absorbing the Yin energy here and transforming it into Profound Yin Devil Qi.

The most amazing thing about this vein is that when the Profound Yin Devil Qi enters it, it is first burned into mist, and then liquefied. The refined Demonic Qi flows slowly through the vein like black Tribulation Oil.

The purity of this "Cauldron Boiling" Demonic Qi is more than ten times that of ordinary Demonic Qi.

In other words, the amount of Demonic Qi stored in this single demonic vein is equal to the total amount stored in the twelve regular meridians.

And this isn't even the limit.

According to Hu Mang's estimate, the upper limit should not be ten times, but several tens of times.

The only drawback is that this Cauldron-Boiling Devil Meridian can only store Demonic Qi, not other types of True Qi energy or magical Law Power.

Both extreme and powerful.

"Seven Absolutes Devil Meridians, Seven Absolutes Devil Meridians."

The Hu Mang muttered to itself.

To be honest, this time you really can't blame his mother. Because even without the information from the bloodline awakening, this top student wouldn't know anything about this kind of demonic aptitude either.

All information related to the demonic path within Heavenly Gate was essentially lost after the Old Heavenly Gate Martial Emperor eradicated the demonic path.

However, Hu Mang felt that if one demonic vein was so ferocious, then if the remaining six demonic veins were unearthed, they would probably be no less than any innate "top-tier" talent.

Aside from "Cauldron Boiling," there's no information on the remaining six demonic veins. However, according to my mother, regarding the Seven Absolutes Meridians— "

The pulse is faint and elusive, swaying like a fish Soaring Fish Meridian is hidden, indicating large intestine failure. The "Swimming Shrimp Pulse" pulse is extremely slow, weak, and intermittent, indicating stomach failure. The "Leaking Roof Pulse is extremely fast and without foundation, like boiling water, indicating spleen failure. The " Cauldron-Boiling Meridian is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, scattered and disordered, like untying a tangled rope, indicating kidney failure. The "Unraveled Rope Meridian" pulse is hard and forceful, without any softness, like flicking a hard stone, indicating the death gate (Mingmen) failure. The "Stone-Flicking- Flicking" pulse is tight, hard, and sharp, cutting under the fingers, indicating liver blood depletion. The "Yanyuedao" pulse truly aims for a fight to the death. Luckily, I possess the "Moon Fox Life-Bearing Instruction," a secret art of physical regeneration; otherwise, I truly wouldn't have survived.

However, with this demonic vein, and the Three Yin Phenomena evolved from the Mysterious Yin Devil Moon, I am confident that I can perfect the Profound Yin Body Refining Technique in a short time.

While riding the demonic cloud, the Hu Mang deeply realized the importance of a strong physical body.

Now that the time, place, and people are all in harmony, with a thought, the absorption methods of the "Profound Yin Body Refining Technique" begin to activate, and the continuous flow of Taiyin Qi is transformed into Mysterious Yin Black Frost, with freezing Qi covering the limbs and bones.

Under normal circumstances, as soon as the Profound Yin Devil Qi enters the body, ninety percent of the meridians are instantly frozen, causing unbearable pain.

Therefore, this method must be practiced together with the Profound Yin Corpse Refining Technique, using corpse refining to dispel Yin Qi.

However, when Hu Mang directly channeled the Profound Yin Devil Qi into the Cauldron-Boiling Devil Meridian, he not only did not feel cold, but also experienced an indescribable warmth nourishing his body.

The Profound Yin Devil Qi, which should have been icy cold enough to freeze his meridians, instead transformed into a warm current after passing through his demonic meridians. Like a stream under the spring sun, it gently nourished his body, as if the comfort of soaking in warm water permeated every inch of his skin, every tendon, and every part of his body.

Is this the legendary phenomenon of Yin giving rise to Yang?

Furthermore, with the demonic phenomenon of the Three Yin Flowers suppressing it, the previously unruly Profound Yin Devil Qi became as obedient as a grandson, repeatedly washing over the skin, muscles, bones, and viscera.

The two biggest hurdles in cultivating this method—the indigestible Profound Yin Devil Qi and the tendency to Qi Deviation and become possessed by demonic forces—are not problems at all here.

The Hu Mang's physical body is growing stronger at a visible rate.

A faint layer of dark frost-like lines is faintly visible beneath the skin, like natural armor, flickering with each breath.

According to this Method Formula, once the skill is perfected, the physical body will not need any protective Law Treasure to withstand Swordsmanship, and will not even be afraid of ordinary heavenly lightning and earthly fire.

During this process, Hu Mang even had the leisure to ponder another demonic Cultivation Method he had obtained.

It was the Rotten Bones Great Method recorded on that rib.

This thing is even more advanced than the "Profound Yin Body Refining Technique".

The former is merely a method for body refinement, while the latter includes not only body refinement methods but also all the Method Formula for cultivating to the Three Flowers and Five Qi Great Perfection.

According to Old Chen, if his meridians hadn't already begun to deteriorate with age, and he had obtained this Cultivation Method sixty years earlier, he probably would have gritted his teeth and followed the demonic path.

Moreover, as a demonic Cultivation Method, this method is even stranger than the "Profound Yin Body Refining Technique." The Profound Yin Body Refinement only uses Sha Qi to refine the body. Although it is domineering and fierce, at least it still retains a normal physical body.

However, the "Rotten Bones Great Method" is different. This technique does not seek specific Sha Qi of heaven and earth for cultivation. Instead, all kinds of poisonous, rotten, and demonic things in the world can be used to refine bones. It emphasizes nine temperings and nine refinings, each time rotting all the bones in the human body and then recombining them.

Each time it is rebuilt, it will automatically master a method of Rotten Bones. After nine refining processes, it can comprehend the Rotten Bones Devil Body, which is not only impervious to flying swords and water and fire, but also has a bone strength that is higher than that of the Profound Yin Body Refinement. It can also absorb 90% of the world's corrupt and Evil Qi, making it a humanoid pile of poisonous gas.

So here's the question: if this "sulfuric acid cultivation method" can reshape bones, what about the other parts of the body?

The answer is that after this method is mastered, the physical body will transform into a life state that is neither human nor demon. Except for the bones, the internal organs, the eight extraordinary meridians, the skin, muscles and fascia will all be melted and transformed into essence and nutrients that are integrated into the bones.

Then you become just a skeleton.

A walking medical textbook.

This is why, even though this method possesses a complete cultivation method for the Three Flowers and Five Qi, Hu Mang will not cultivate it.

There's no way around it. Although this method is incredibly powerful, the side effects are just too terrible. It melted not only brain matter, but even the reproductive organs were destroyed.

Does it mean the upper and lower body perish together?

Hu Mang truly believed that the person who created this method was absolutely brain-dead, literally brain-dead, or rather, a brain-dead version of a cultivation genius.

What kind of thought process led you to create this method? Have you lost all sense of humanity?

Moreover, for some reason, the Hu Mang would always subconsciously compare it to the Corpse Liberation Method.

In terms of disintegration, the two are remarkably similar.

In his half-asleep state, Hu Mang could sense a violent commotion coming from above, a commotion so intense that it was no less powerful than the Primordial Spirit Great Hand Seal " technique he had used.

This is most likely a fight between righteous disciples and the Thunder God.

The righteous Zhen'ezi, Zhang Zhixian, and Mingting are all standard Primordial Spirit combat power, not to mention the two High Heaven Sword Sect disciples outside.

In other words, if the false god Thunder God hadn't mutated, this operation would have been a piece of cake.

It's no wonder that before Thunder God was even dealt with, this group started fighting amongst themselves.

In his half-asleep state, the Hu Mang's physical body not only progressed rapidly, but his consciousness, aided by the Three Yin Flowers, also entered a mysterious and unpredictable state.

He had experienced this state once before, when he forcibly elevated his realm by absorbing tribulation power.

But this time is different.

Because it is not an elevation of one's spiritual level.

If I had to describe it, it would be more like a "Unity of Heaven and Man," and a deeper kind of Unity of Heaven and Man.

Hu Mang's consciousness drifted aimlessly, sometimes clear, sometimes blurry. He felt as if he had become a wisp of wind, passing through layers of spatial barriers, over surging thunderclouds and Demonic Qi, and finally drifting to a completely unfamiliar place—a fairy mountain with birdsong, fragrant flowers, and beautiful scenery.

The mountains are verdant and shrouded in mist, with clear streams flowing gently through them. Unknown wildflowers bloom along the banks, and the air is filled with the faint fragrance of grass and trees, and Spiritual Qi.

On a flat spot at the top of the mountain, atop a blue stone, sat a fairy in white robes, sitting cross-legged.

She was dressed in white, her long hair flowing like a waterfall. A white jade sword lay across her lap, its blade crystal clear, as if carved from a single piece of fine mutton-fat jade. The scabbard was engraved with fine cloud patterns, with a faint shimmering light.

At this moment, the fairy was meditating with her eyes closed, surrounded by a faint spiritual light, clearly in the midst of cultivation.

However, just as Hu Mang's consciousness drifted over here and had not yet fully settled, the white-clad fairy suddenly opened her eyes!

Those eyes were as clear as autumn water, yet they possessed an extremely sharp edge, as if they could pierce through all falsehood and pretense.

"Who?!"

The jade-white sword on her lap had already extended half of its blade the instant before she finished speaking!

The moment the sword was drawn, a chilling and sharp Sword Qi spread out as if it were a tangible force, pressing the surrounding flowers, grass, and trees to the ground, and the temperature in the air seemed to drop several degrees.

The Hu Mang instantly sensed a deadly threat.

That Sword Qi was too pure and too sharp, as if it could annihilate his consciousness from a great distance in the next instant if the opponent so desired.

A demon-subduing sword? That's easy, watch me Buddha-Devil Transformation!

Soon, layers of Buddhist light emanated from Hu Mang's consciousness.

"Huh? Which Buddhist friend are you?"

Now it was the white-clad fairy's turn to be puzzled.
