#2238 - The Evil in Shape

The inner space of the Illusionary Dragon Land.

Within that vast mountain range, a scene of utter devastation.

Broken mountain peaks, fractured earth, and trees all reduced to dust.

Blood mist floated in the air, permeated with a pungent, metallic odor.

The shattered void was rapidly healing.

Jun Wuxie descended upon a fragmented rock, gazing down at the ground.

With a wave of his hand, all the spatial rings scattered across the land flew toward him.

He delved into them with his divine sense, finding a considerable amount of resources, though mostly conventional.

A small portion could barely be considered rare resources or materials.

However, these items were of no use to him; perhaps they could be utilized elsewhere in the future.

He stored the spatial rings and, riding Lan Lan, swiftly departed.

Now, the dark creatures and the Overlord Gods from the eleven major powers who had entered this space were all dead.

He could finally focus all his attention on acquiring special resources.

Following the general terrain map in his mind, half a day later, he rode Lan Lan to the location corresponding to the liver of that transcendent-god-realm expert.

This was a vast forest, a primeval landscape.

The trees within the forest were thousands of feet tall, taller than some mountain ranges, with incredibly dense foliage.

The wood energy here was so strong that the life essence was exceptionally vigorous, and the baleful aura was correspondingly potent.

He and Lan Lan entered the forest, delving deeper along the path where the wood energy and baleful aura were most intense.

Before long, they approached the core area.

The forest was utterly silent, and they hadn't seen any living creatures along the way.

This silence, combined with the aura of balefulness, made the forest incredibly eerie, sending chills down one's spine.

Lan Lan had a creepy feeling, and its fur was semi-erect the entire time.

Faintly, he saw an area covered by a field.

From within it, dense wood energy and baleful aura continuously emanated.

It should be the location of the Liver Essence Source.

He rode Lan Lan toward the area covered by the field.

As they walked, he suddenly felt a chill.

A faint, cold wind suddenly blew around them, frigid and piercing, burrowing into the skin and seeping into the bones.

"Yiya, Master, why do I feel like something is following us?

It seems like divine sense can't be used here either."

Lan Lan shivered, its fur standing on end.

"Don't be afraid, Lan Lan, keep going."

Jun Wuxie gently patted its head.

Lan Lan yipped and continued forward, but its pace was slow, and every step was very cautious.

At this moment, behind Jun Wuxie, a strand of black hair fell from the air, revealing a terrifying face.

Lan Lan seemed to sense something and quickly turned around.

However, the figure hanging upside down in the air also turned with it, the terrifying face and falling black hair always remaining behind it and Jun Wuxie.

That thing was only about a meter away from him and Lan Lan, moving with them, slowly reaching out a pair of pale hands with half-foot-long black fingernails, approaching Jun Wuxie's neck.

Lan Lan turned around sharply again, but still saw nothing.

And that thing still appeared behind them, revealing its sharp, long fangs.

"Yiya, Master…"

Lan Lan's whole body tensed, its fur standing on end.

It was sure that something was following them, but every time it turned around, it couldn't see anything.

"Keep going, don't look back."

Jun Wuxie said calmly.

This place actually blocked the perception of divine sense; all divine sense released outside the body would disappear without a trace, unable to sense anything.

Lan Lan mustered its courage and continued toward the field.

The thing hanging upside down in the air behind them remained like a shadow, a pair of terrifying hands slowly reaching toward Jun Wuxie's neck, black-green liquid slowly dripping from its horrifying face.

Just as those black, sharp fingernails were about to touch Jun Wuxie's neck.

He, sitting on Lan Lan's back, suddenly turned around, his speed as fast as lightning.

At the same time, his eyes opened and closed, and the Yin-Yang Life-Death Diagram appeared in his pupils, two beams of blazing Yin-Yang light bursting forth.

The thing was startled, seemingly not expecting its target to be so fast.

It didn't have time to react and was struck by the Death Pupil Killing Art on the spot.

With a sharp, shrill scream, it flew out and crashed into a large tree, but its body instantly disappeared, dissipating like a cloud of dark mist.

Almost at the same time, that thing reappeared behind Jun Wuxie, its black fingernails attacking.

This time, Jun Wuxie didn't turn around; a sword qi burst out directly from his back, piercing through it, causing its entire body to be blasted far away, pinned to the tree trunk.

But its body scattered into dark mist again and disappeared, quickly re-condensing behind Jun Wuxie.

Waiting for it was still the chaotic golden light of blazing sword qi, piercing it a second time.

This time, the thing no longer appeared behind him but directly condensed its form in front of him.

This thing floated in the air, unable to see its feet, only the hem of its robe, a head of long hair falling to its thighs, its fingernails black and sharp, its face half-rotted, black blood flowing from its eyes, fangs exposed in its mouth, its entire body exuding a strong baleful aura.

"Yiya, Master, what is this thing? Why can't it be killed!"

Lan Lan looked scared, this thing made it feel terrified, even more terrified than the Dark Demonic Fiends.

The master's several attacks had pierced it, but that thing was unscathed; it seemed that attacks were useless against it.

"A Transformed Baleful formed from the Liver Essence Source."

As Jun Wuxie spoke, several Transformed Balefuls appeared out of thin air around them.

They let out sharp cries and then gave cold laughs.

The shrill, piercing sound was extremely eerie, breaking the silence of the forest and echoing through the trees.

The Transformed Balefuls surrounded him but did not attack, simply encircling him.

"Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life. It's not easy for you to transform and develop a shallow consciousness by borrowing the Liver Essence Source.

Although formed from balefulness, you don't have too much murderous intent, which is rare.

Don't provoke me again; make way, and I will not only spare you but also bestow upon you an opportunity."

"Woo-ah—"

All five Transformed Balefuls made sharp, fierce sounds, teleporting in front of Jun Wuxie, blocking his path to the field.

They hadn't attacked, but it was clear that they wouldn't let him near that area.

"Are you sure you want to stop me?

Those few strikes just now were warnings because I saw that you had no murderous intent and only wanted to scare me.

Although your bodies are special, it's actually very easy for me to kill you."

The Transformed Balefuls remained unmoved, still blocking in front of him, issuing fierce warnings to him and Lan Lan.

Seeing this, Jun Wuxie stopped talking, spread his palms, and the Yin-Yang Fire instantly burst from his palms, turning into a fire dragon that roared away.

A sea of fire poured down, engulfing the five Transformed Balefuls.

They immediately screamed, struggling painfully in the sea of fire, their bodies overflowing with baleful black smoke, their eyes filled with fear.

Jun Wuxie retracted his palms, and the Yin-Yang Fire shrank back.

The Transformed Balefuls were already very weak, swaying in the air, filled with fear and dread toward him, quickly making way, no longer daring to block him.

"I know you want to continue cultivating with the balefulness of the Liver Essence Source.

However, with your current situation, you can completely absorb the heaven and earth origin energy to cultivate, transforming it into controllable balefulness.

Only then can you cultivate complete spiritual intelligence and embark on the correct path of cultivation.

Relying on the balefulness within the Liver Essence Source, you are destined to fail."

"Woo-ah, woo-ah—"

They couldn't speak and had low intelligence, but they could feel that the human in front of them didn't seem to have murderous intent.

He seemed to want to help them.

"I will purify the uncontrollable power of balefulness for you, helping you embark on the correct path of cultivation. Will you follow me from now on?"

Jun Wuxie valued the special abilities of these Transformed Balefuls.

Their bodies could only be harmed by extremely special fire power or the most rigid and yang power.

In this regard, these Transformed Balefuls were equivalent to having a certain level of invulnerability to all laws.

The existence of such creatures was special in itself; their birth required extremely harsh conditions and many coincidences.

The Transformed Balefuls didn't agree; they had low intelligence and didn't quite understand his meaning, but they could feel that he had no malice toward them.

Jun Wuxie didn't say more, and with a wave of his hand, an array diagram appeared, covering them.

Vast energy fell down, and pure energy permeated.

The five Transformed Balefuls initially showed fear, but when the energy impacted their bodies, they found that it didn't cause any harm; instead, it gave them a special feeling of comfort.

Strands of light smoke overflowed from their bodies.

At this time, feeling comfortable, they suddenly screamed and struggled frantically.

This pain lasted for a short half-hour.

The falling energy disappeared, the array diagram dissipated, and their bodies suddenly trembled, standing up from their half-kneeling posture.

Their long hair separated to the sides, revealing their faces.

The rotten appearance on their faces was gone, and black blood no longer flowed from their eyes.

They seemed to feel their changes.

The five Transformed Balefuls trembled as they reached out to touch their faces, their emotions gradually becoming agitated.

"Thank… thank you…"

They tried hard to say a few words to Jun Wuxie; although they were slurred, it was possible to discern what they were saying.

"Are you willing to follow me?"

Jun Wuxie stepped forward and tapped the space between their eyebrows with his fingers.

He transmitted his divine sense into their minds.

At this moment, the five Transformed Balefuls finally understood his meaning and nodded happily.

After the uncontrollable power of balefulness in their bodies was purified, their spiritual intelligence was slightly improved.

They knew that the human before them could help them and held no malice towards them. They were willing to follow him and leave this place.

The five transformed Fiend Spirits still possessed dense, chilling fiendish energy, but they were no longer affected by it.

Their faces were pale, devoid of any color, a characteristic they were born with, but their features were quite delicate.

Jun Wuxie opened his palm, and the five transformed Fiend Spirits immediately turned into five dark red rays of light, merging into his palm.

Five marks appeared on his palm, forming a circular pattern of flower designs.

"I will transmit to you the Spirit Nourishing Art and the method to convert heaven and earth's Yuan Qi into Fiend power. Cultivate diligently, and the full awakening of your intelligence is just around the corner."

Jun Wuxie used his divine sense to transmit the methods into the Fiend Spirit marks, which contained explanations and key points for cultivation.

Because the transformed Fiend Spirits had low intelligence, it was difficult for them to comprehend on their own.

He directly imprinted it into their nascent souls, so they didn't need to comprehend it and could naturally understand it, subconsciously following the methods to cultivate.

"Iya, Master, they…"

Lanlan looked at him in bewilderment. He actually subdued those eerie fiends just like that?

"They will become very strong in the future. This can be considered an unexpected gain."

Jun Wuxie felt extremely comfortable.

He didn't expect that this place would nurture such special Fiend Spirits.

These Fiend Spirits were different from ordinary Fiend Spirits. They were almost not within the Five Elements.

There were very few forces in the world that could harm them.

Of course, if the difference in realm was too great, any power of law could annihilate them.

It could only be said that within a certain realm range, they could ignore the attacks of most laws and powers.

Even so, it was extremely terrifying.

This innate talent would grant them powerful strength.

However, the key was to embark on the correct path of cultivation and have the right guidance.

Meeting him, a reincarnation of the peak of the Dao-less realm, was their opportunity.

With the five transformed Fiend Spirits subdued, the chilling aura in the forest weakened a lot.

He and Lanlan continued forward and soon arrived at the area covered by the field.

Lanlan waited in place, while he activated the World Domain and entered the field.

As soon as he entered, it was as if he had entered a vast forest.

The endless trees around him crushed towards him, causing the World Domain to vibrate slightly.

This power was quite terrifying.

Without the World Domain, it would be very difficult to obtain the Liver Essence Source.

If he used the Dao of Talismans to change the field, he didn't know how much time it would take for this level of field, at least years.

Relying on the powerful defense of the World Domain, he arrived at the core of the field.

The entire map here was green, constantly overflowing with Wood Qi.

He placed his palm on the ground and sucked hard, and the ground began to tremble and gradually crack.

Before long, a ball of emerald green essence energy broke out of the ground and was taken into his hand.

It was the size of a fist, but the essence contained within was quite majestic for his current realm, and the quality was also very high.

"The essence Qi is much more majestic than the previous Essence Sources. It should be enough for me to break through to the Middle Heavenly Position of the God King realm."

He incorporated the Liver Essence Source into his Blessed Cave, and the field instantly disappeared.

He constructed a double time talisman array and sat down on the spot to begin cultivating.

Now, he had the Spleen Essence Source in his Blessed Cave, and now he had also obtained the Liver Essence Source.

Even if he stepped into the God King realm, the consumption for breakthrough had increased a lot.

These two Essence Sources were enough to break through one Heavenly Position realm.

The essence Qi contained in the Liver Essence Source was much more majestic than the Spleen Essence Source, and there were also slightly more fragments of the origin.

The environment here was very good for cultivation.

He wasn't worried that the most important opportunity in the Illusionary Dragon Land would be obtained by others.

Resources like the Essence Sources of the Five Viscera could not be taken away by others at all.

As for the Blessed Cave, the situation was unclear, so it was hard to say, but he believed it wouldn't be so easy to obtain.

He first refined the Spleen Essence Source, and the majestic life essence Qi, after being purified by the Millstone of Annihilation, flowed along the meridians to the limbs and bones, circulating through the heavens, and converging into the Blessed Cave Star Sea.

Every day, the Star Sea was becoming more abundant, and the realm was improving.

…

At the same time, at the entrance of the Illusionary Dragon Land, the dark creatures with gloomy faces and the high-level members of the eleven major forces were secretly talking with their divine senses.

Jun Wuxie was like a thorn in their hearts, making them uneasy.

This kind of person was too terrifying to grow. They must be strangled in the cradle and must not be allowed to grow to the Eternal God realm!
