The Celestial Demon youth was like a trapped beast, clutching his injured eye. Though the flesh had forcibly healed, the intense pain and damage remained. He roared, "Come out! If you have the guts, come out!"
Laughter echoed around him.
"Fine, I will come out now."
The next moment, the laughter turned cold and sharp.
"I’ll kill you!"
A shadow suddenly appeared in the distance, exuding killing intent!
The Celestial Demon youth struck again, roaring as he hurled a black seal towards the approaching shadow.
Boom!
The shadow exploded, transforming into a soft white mist.
The Celestial Demon youth stood frozen, a sense of helplessness welled up from his heart.
Suddenly, the laughter echoed once more.
"Feeling useless, aren’t you?"
Soon after, another voice of laughter emerged.
"You are indeed useless."
Then the laughter turned into a barrage of insults.
"Waste!"
"You are a waste!"
"Waste!"
The Demon’s Sound pierced the ears, tearing through the mind, amplifying his thoughts and emotions by a hundredfold.
The Celestial Demon youth struggled with all his might to observe his surroundings while desperately fending off the Demon’s Sound.
Song Yan was bathed in shadows.
This was his first time truly utilizing his Lifebound Secret Technique in battle, and the effect was impressive.
The Demon’s Sound pierced the ears, concealed the Divine Soul, transformed the Divine Soul, mimicked the Divine Soul...
This Celestial Demon was certainly no mere demon monk mastering the essence of theft; his physical strength was extraordinarily powerful. Song Yan even felt that if it came to a direct physical fight, he would be no match for this Celestial Demon.
Suddenly, a thought burst into his mind: "This is a Celestial Demon cultivator from the Ancient Purple Mansion Realm! He surely possesses a method to enhance the Body Refining Realm!"
As soon as this thought emerged, various greedy desires flooded in.
"Devour him!"
"Devour him!"
"You must devour him!"
At this moment, the Celestial Demon youth gritted his teeth and shouted, "I’m done playing with you!"
With that, he fled, leaving the ancient tomb in an instant.
But the very next moment, his heart was suddenly filled with immense fear, for he felt a familiar presence rushing towards him.
It was... himself!!!
A fist bearing the Power of Thought of shattering Profound Qi came straight at him.
"Fake!"
"Fake!"
The Celestial Demon youth’s heart screamed, but he couldn’t ignore it and had to muster his strength to counter it.
Boom!
A massive wave rolled, and unsurprisingly, the Celestial Demon youth’s fist hit nothing. The fake human image in front shattered completely into white mist, merging into the surrounding white clouds.
The Celestial Demon youth suddenly turned his head and scanned around, spotting a shadow hiding within the clouds not far away.
"Found you! Die!"
The Celestial Demon youth charged fiercely, smashing the shadow.
The shadow once again transformed into white mist.
"Heh heh heh heh," the laughter sounded again.
"Waste, what’s the point of a waste like you living?"
The Celestial Demon youth looked around in horror. For a moment, it seemed that the black-haired youth was everywhere around him, yet nowhere at all.
He fled quickly once more.
Yet no matter where he fled, the voice persistently followed him. If he truly ignored it as a fake, the opponent would deliver a real blow.
During this time, he tried various means, but they were completely ineffective.
After a whole day and night, the Celestial Demon youth was utterly broken.
The laughter and killing intent were already manifesting around him.
He was no longer capable of handling it; both his body and mind were exhausted.
He had never encountered such a troublesome monster.
He collapsed on a desolate hill, gasping for air, until a figure emerged from the dust. Smiling at him, the Celestial Demon youth asked, "What are you?"
Song Yan did not reply but instead transformed into a giant face, opening a massive mouth to swallow the Celestial Demon youth before him.
A gleam of fierce intensity flashed in the eyes of the Celestial Demon youth, as a terrifying beam of energy erupted from his palm, violently piercing through Song Yan. This was his ace in the hole!
Song Yan exploded, but... it was still just a wisp of white mist.
The Celestial Demon youth stood there, dumbfounded, watching this scene, then completely broke down in screams.
Meanwhile, without a sound, Song Yan appeared behind him, lifted his hand, and a wisp of gray light emanated from the Changwang’s Evil Treasure, drilling into the Celestial Demon’s body, pulling out his Divine Soul.
On that Divine Soul, the pitch-black monk attempted to escape but was further dragged out by the gray light, tightly bound, and thrown into the Changwang Melting Furnace, where the refinement began.
Under the burning gray flames, the pitch-black monk was soon successfully refined.
Song Yan summoned the Free Celestial Demon Map, glancing at the Celestial Demon Map.
On the Celestial Demon Map, the originally white-clad, elegant Immortal was now enveloped in a profound glow, yet not evil, but rather exuding a sense of stability and weight, like a towering mountain, making one feel that befriending such a person would surely be reliable.
Song Yan carefully comprehended, feeling the "blank space" aspect of his Lifebound Secret Technique had come into play.
Now, with the filling of this "blank space" portion, his Lifebound Secret Technique became more complete.
If the red lips were the "Demon Sound Soul Capture," then the body was the "Demon Body."
He felt in his heart that this moment of Ancient Body Refining Realm was sufficient, allowing for further advancement.
But unfortunately, he didn’t glean any precise information from the demon monk, only vaguely confirming that the demon’s claims about the "Era of Dark Catastrophe" and "Fourth-tier Cultivation Realm" weren’t false, and that the demon monk himself was indeed a cultivator who had entered the Ancient Purple Mansion Realm, with some secrets still lingering within the ancient tomb.
Song Yan collected the Ancient Purple Mansion Realm cultivator’s corpse, along with the storage bag. Upon a glance inside, it was filled with "True Spirit Fragments," and nothing else. After collecting it, he paused silently, gazing into the distance over the sunset yellow soil and rolling dust. He slowly closed his eyes, sighed deeply, then changed his appearance, transforming into a rainbow light and returning to the ancient tomb.
