Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Pseudo-Treasure Body

An Underground Demon Vein, like a Spirit Vein, is born from the world itself. The only difference is that the former produces Demon Evil Qi, while the latter produces Spiritual Charm Qi.

However, regardless of whether it’s a Spirit Vein or a Demon Vein, both are the foundation of a Sect. They not only nourish the Sect’s Blessed Land but also provide Disciples with a continuous stream of power for their Cultivation, ensuring the Sect’s enduring prosperity!

And now, the Dragon Cat had actually brought him directly here. If the people of the Demon Abyss found out, they would probably fly into a rage.

"Kid, the Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon Body has four stages. You haven’t even reached the first stage, the Treasure Body. This is the perfect place to improve your physique," the Dragon Cat said, pointing at the Demon Vein.

"You want me to refine my body in the Demon Vein?" Ye Wushuang stared at the Dragon Cat, his expression darkening. Leaving aside the immense impact force of the Demon Vein, the terrifying energy alone was enough to make him explode thousands of times over.

’This guy is undoubtedly sending me to my death!’

The Dragon Cat knew what Ye Wushuang was thinking and immediately said, "Don’t worry about the Demon Vein’s energy. You can channel it into the Chaos Space. Then, you can use the Demon Vein’s impact force and the power of the Demon Evil Qi to refine your Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon Body. It’s the most suitable method."

"Will this work?" Ye Wushuang muttered, lowering his head in thought. ’If I can channel the Demon Evil Qi surging into my body into the Chaos Space while refining, it would indeed alleviate the danger of exploding.’

’But that impact force...!!’

’It’s enough to smash a fierce tiger to pieces!’

Just thinking about it made Ye Wushuang’s scalp tingle!

Even though he had previously undergone refinement under a waterfall and with the Thunder Refining Body technique, cultivating in such an extremely perilous environment now made his hair stand on end.

’After all, the slightest carelessness will probably result in me being truly smashed to pieces!’

’However, the Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon Body has four stages: Treasure Body, Holy Body, Chaos Body, and First Generation Body. If I can’t even refine the first stage, the Treasure Body, then there’s no point in even thinking about the later ones.’

’Besides, to become strong, to become invincible, I have to forge my own path. The process of becoming strong inevitably involves shedding blood. If I shrink back at the first sign of hardship, I’d be nothing but a coward. How could I even talk about being invincible then? How could I ever reach the pinnacle of the strong?’

’If I don’t risk my life, how can I become strong?’

Ye Wushuang questioned himself over and over. He was walking the most difficult Path of Invincibility. If he retreated even half a step, his Invincible Dao Heart would be tainted, and it would surely become a demon in his heart in the future.

At this thought, his gaze became determined. He gritted his teeth and walked toward the Demon Vein.

As he approached the Demon Vein, the Heaven-Devouring Dragon Technique formed a black, devouring vortex above Ye Wushuang’s head, frantically swallowing the Demon Evil Qi.

Deep within his Dantian, the golden vortex was also spinning wildly, expanding outward in rings.

This was a sign that his Cultivation was increasing madly!

However, Ye Wushuang paid it no mind. He wasn’t worried about his foundation becoming unstable. As long as he refined the Treasure Body, everything would fall into place.

Gazing at the surging Demon River before him, Ye Wushuang’s lips twitched violently a few times.

He immediately activated his Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon Body. Streams of Dragon-Shaped Qi shot across the surface of his skin, protecting his entire body, before he finally stepped into the edge of the Demon River.

BOOM!

The moment he stepped in, Ye Wushuang felt as if his head had exploded. It was like being struck by lightning, and his entire body froze.

The Demon Evil Qi from the Demon Vein frantically bored into his meridians, rampaging like a herd of unbridled wild horses, wreaking havoc and tearing through them.

Outside his body, a terrifying "momentum" suddenly pressed down on him, causing his bones to shatter and his skin to crack. The tearing pain pierced his very soul.

In the Demon Vein, the terrifying thing wasn’t the impact force, but a kind of "earthly momentum" generated by its movement!

This "momentum" was mysterious, unknown, and utterly terrifying. However, it was also the best thing for tempering the Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon Body!

Under the assault of this "momentum," even though Ye Wushuang’s body had the strength of the Spiritual Artifact Level, it was still constantly cracking!

"HISS!"

Ye Wushuang had bitten through his lip. Pain! Pain! Pain!

In an instant, he had become a man drenched in blood!

In the distance, even the usually heartless Dragon Cat was silent.

After hesitating for a long while, it finally called out, "Kid, maybe you should come back up."

Ye Wushuang clenched his jaw, not saying a word. ’If I go up now, all the suffering I just endured will have been for nothing!’

’It’s just a little pain! I’m not afraid! I’ll keep going!’ he roared in his mind, his eyes bloodshot, venting the unimaginable agony.

He then hurriedly guided the Demon Evil Qi into the Chaos Space to alleviate the danger of his body exploding.

"Endure!"

"Endure!"

Ye Wushuang roared lowly, his voice heavy and pained.

’If this kid doesn’t fall on the path to becoming strong, he’ll definitely be the most ruthless person in the Nine Heavens in the future!’

In the distance, the Dragon Cat stared intently, certain in its heart that it had met a madman!

A madman driven to insanity by the obsession in his heart!

BOOM!

Suddenly, as more and more Demon Evil Qi gathered in the Chaos Space, the Chaos Dragon Tomb awakened from its silence, surging with a terrifying devouring power that swallowed all the Demon Evil Qi.

This change startled Ye Wushuang. ’The Chaos Dragon Tomb seems to have its own Spiritual Sense... It feels like someone is controlling it.’

’Forget it, no time to worry about that!’

Ye Wushuang instantly suppressed the doubt that had just arisen. The current situation didn’t allow him to ponder such things. With the Chaos Dragon Tomb sharing the burden of the Demon Evil Qi, the benefits far outweighed the drawbacks for him.

He then focused his attention on his body. Under the operation of the Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon Technique, his cracked flesh began to fuse, forming an illusory Dragon Scale on the surface of his skin.

The Dragon Scale was golden, looking both mystical and domineering!

During the refinement process, this illusory Dragon Scale was gradually solidifying.

...

In the Demon Abyss, terrifying streams of Divine Sense swept over every hidden corner, penetrating deep underground, leaving no stone unturned.

However, to everyone’s fury, it was as if Ye Wushuang had vanished into thin air.

"Nothing!"

"Nothing!"

The Demon Abyss Master stood below a Demon Hall, listening to the reports. His expression was grim to the extreme.

’Ancient Spirit Sect... Ye Wushuang...’ The Demon Abyss Master muttered the name he’d gotten from Moo Li, his voice dripping with cold fury. "An ant, coming and going as he pleases in my Demon Abyss, and no one can find him! He must be hiding in some corner. Search! Search every single inch for me!"

BOOM!

The moment his voice fell, the ground of the Demon Abyss trembled violently as if in an earthquake. Countless streams of Demon Qi erupted in extreme chaos.

"Abyss Master, the Underground Demon Vein is in turmoil!"

From the sky, a Supreme Elder of the Spiritual Spring Realm flew down and landed beside the Demon Abyss Master.

"The Demon Vein is in turmoil? Why now of all times?" The Demon Abyss Master frowned, his ugly expression darkening even further.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to him, and his expression changed drastically. "Oh no! That bastard must be hiding in the Underground Demon Vein!"

The Demon Vein was the foundation of the Demon Abyss. If it were destroyed, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Ye Wushuang, if the Demon Vein suffers even the slightest damage, I swear I will flay you alive!"

The Demon Abyss Master roared in fury and shot off.

Everyone else followed close behind, rushing madly toward the Demon Vein.

Back in the Demon Vein, the Dragon-Shaped Qi on Ye Wushuang’s body had disappeared. It had been replaced by golden Dragon Scales, which formed a suit of Golden Dragon Scale Armor that looked incredibly noble and majestic!

Its astonishing Defense Power made Ye Wushuang willing to bet that a Ninth-Grade Spiritual Artifact would find it difficult to harm his body. Even a Low-Grade Spirit Communication Treasure would not pose a life-threatening danger to him.

This was the first stage of the Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon Body—the Treasure Body!

’No, that’s not right. This can only be considered a Pseudo-Treasure Body!’

This was because the Dragon Scales had not yet fully solidified. Only when they were completely solid could it be considered a true Treasure Body!
