Chapter 562: Chapter 284: Myriad Slaves Annihilated, Celestial Demon Devours Gods (Part 2)

"Forget it, there’s no other choice!"

The situation was perilous, and Zheng Yi sighed softly, speaking with an indifferent expression.

"Ten Thousand Slaves Celestial Demon Possession Technique!"

This is the unique secret technique of the Celestial Demon Relic, derived from the Celestial Demon Seed. Zheng Yi initially used this cultivation technique to control many members of the Pirate Gang, thereby gaining full control over the entire Poison Dragon Pirate Gang.

Later, he used this same ability to control a large number of other Pirate Gang and Commerce Association members.

In truth, controlling others, twisting their thoughts and turning them into his puppets is just one of its uses. There is another secret technique known as Ten Thousand Slaves Extinguish Celestial Demon Devour.

It’s a secret technique used only in extreme circumstances.

Zheng Yi had always hidden this means, never using it. Now, trapped by the scheme of the Outer Realm Celestial Demon Heart Demon in this Illusion Realm, with no way to escape, he could only resort to this final method.

"Ten Thousand Slaves Celestial Demon Possession Technique"

"Ten Thousand Slaves Extinguish, Soul Death, Dao Dissipation!"

"Tracing the Origin, Celestial Demon Devour!"

At the same time, all the Pirate Gang puppet Celestial Demon slaves controlled by Zheng Yi suddenly had the Celestial Demon Seed hidden in the deepest part of their consciousness explode.

All soul power was drawn out directly, rushing towards Zheng Yi along an unknown channel, guided in an overwhelming direction.

Such means were truly unheard of, using the Celestial Demon Relic as the central hub, forcibly extracting the Divine Soul from the puppet Celestial Demon slaves, thereby gathering the Ten Thousand Slaves Divine Soul Power through the connection between the Celestial Demon Seed and the Master of Celestial Demons, and merging it into his own body.

This is the power of Celestial Demon Devour.

Since Zheng Yi’s own Celestial Demon Relic was there to govern, the foundation of Divine Soul Power he possessed was already very substantial, and the soul power of just a few puppets was unlikely to make much difference.

Therefore, to be safe, Zheng Yi drew over seventy percent of the puppet Celestial Demon slaves’ Divine Soul directly.

In a moment, the intangible and colorless Divine Soul Power appeared above the Illusion Realm.

Each Divine Soul revealed a clear human figure, all bowing in salute towards Zheng Yi. Although their Divine Soul was extracted, these pirates could not harbor any resentment but instead were filled with an instinctive urge to die for Zheng Yi.

Their eyes held only admiration.

This is the terrifying aspect of the Ten Thousand Slaves Celestial Demon Possession Technique, a power that erases humanity to a certain extent. Though they seem like normal people, they have been thoroughly brainwashed, even if their Divine Soul is directly extracted, leaving them vanishing into smoke without brewing any resentment or hatred.

Such means can only be described as terrifying.

In this regard.

Zheng Yi’s Celestial Demon Relic and Path of Heart Demons can be considered as one family.

Meanwhile, a large number of pirates fell silent.

One moment they were conversing with comrades, the next moment they became lifeless corpses.

Even before dying, they had smiles on their faces.

As if death were a matter of joyous release.

Yet those most affected were the comrades of these pirates. They couldn’t comprehend how someone who was laughing conversationally a moment ago could mysteriously die mid-sentence.

And each wore an eerie smile.

Like wearing a weird fake face mask, embracing death.

This feeling was truly too strange, too terrifying.

Even a seasoned cultivator would only feel a chill down their spine upon witnessing this scene.

Cold sweat would break out in fear.

In an instant, transforming into this state proved too much for many to accept.

The greatest fear lies in the unknown.

This stems from the innate instincts of living beings.

No one wants to silently transform into this state.

But they couldn’t stop it.

One after another, companions continued to fall.

Many collapsed, howling in despair, or launched attacks on those around them, attempting to destroy their internal fear entirely through such methods.

However, all of this was merely futile.

Those whose minds collapsed, whose Dao Heart was destroyed also fell one by one, gently closing their eyes, losing life.

They too carried the same eerie smile.

Lapsing into endless slumber.

In the blink of an eye, it wasn’t just Poison Dragon Island.

But also other island regions under Zheng Yi’s control saw pirate after pirate mysteriously fall into death.

Just like a contagious plague, triggering a chain reaction.

The remaining pirates were anxious, none knowing if they would be next.

Such an outcome made waiting unbearably painful.

It would be preferable to be killed outright.

Suddenly, hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands, accompanied by Zheng Yi’s activation of this secret technique, died beyond dead.

Yet Zheng Yi had no concerns in this regard, those from whom the Divine Soul was extracted were all bloodthirsty pirates, bearing more than just one human life on their hands.

These people burned, killed, and pillaged at sea, with uncountable ordinary lives taken.

These pirates could be said to have met deserved ends.

In Zheng Yi’s view, these Celestial Demon slaves were merely consumables.

Dying to contribute to his Immortal path could be considered the utilization of waste.

Even the forces he was under to establish were set to follow an elite path.

Those useless had no necessity for survival.

...

Boom! Boom!

The tremors within the Illusion Realm grew increasingly fierce, the Heart Demon hadn’t expected Zheng Yi trapped would devour Divine Soul in such a manner.

Through such secret technique, the Celestial Demon Relic was instantly fortified without limit.

As countless Divine Souls fused into Zheng Yi’s mind, or rather, were consumed by the Celestial Demon Relic, his Divine Soul Power gradually transformed into a substantive golden hue, the space above his head becoming distorted.

A massive phantom ascended, a giant towering a hundred meters high appeared on the firmament above.

Boom! Boom!

A terrifying Divine Soul Power materialized into a Barbaric Giant, as if opening the world anew, its heavy fists and feet violently collided with the Illusion Realm.

In the Illusion Realm, countless Demon Fiends and Demonesses roared, sweeping toward the giant, as if determined to utterly crush this entity almost capable of shattering the Illusion Realm.

Numerous Demonesses clung to the giant’s body like innumerable ants, leading to standoff and entanglement from Divine Soul Power and spiritual-level confrontations.

Countless Demon Fiends and Demonesses frantically tore at the giant’s body.

Bump! Bump!

The giant’s entire being shook, frightening impact instantly turned black specks on its body into wisps of black smoke, vanishing.

A terrifying gust swept across the surroundings, ripping apart the space, innumerable demon shadows instantly dissolved into nothingness, the massive form of the Celestial Demon Relic re-emerged clearly.

Thump! Thump!

The Barbaric Giant let out a roaring shout, its massive power reached sky and earth, tearing at the world, standing with feet on the ground and head to the sky, continually crashing against the Illusion Realm’s boundary.

Rumble!

Ultimately, under continuous assault, the structured Illusion Realm finally couldn’t endure anymore, shattering with a thunderous explosion into a vast breach.

The torn opening surged with mysterious aura.

Crack! Crack!

Amidst the shattering sound like breaking glass, cracks spread throughout the Illusion Realm’s space, ultimately alongside the giant’s final punch, with a bang, the entire space crumbled completely.

"Heart Demon Tribulation, it’s passed!"

Zheng Yi suddenly opened his eyes, realizing that he hadn’t moved an inch physically.

His body had always been seated within the secret chamber.

And the scene earlier was merely an Illusion Realm derived from Celestial Demon secrecy, if not for experiencing personally, it seemed all that occurred just now was mere illusion.

Whether palace Immortal Fairy, tomb Celestial Demon, or the final appearance of the Divine Soul Giant, it was purely a contest from the realm of consciousness.

This battle appeared illusory but was far riskier than any conflict in the material realm.
