Chapter 588: Chapter 284: Demon Thought Cage

"Oh no! It’s a Demonic Thought from the Demon Venerable!"

When they saw Chen Cheng strike and slay the Corpse Demon, both Jiang Huaijin and Qin Hongbin were ecstatic.

However, their expressions quickly changed. They cried out in alarm, hastily steadying their minds. With solemn faces, they began to chant:

"Heaven and earth have righteous qi, vast... As righteous qi settles, intention rises; wielding inner qi, it ascends on both sides..."

This was none other than the Vast Righteous Qi Song, a legacy of the Great Dao Sect’s Vast Peak.

From the spot where the Corpse Demon had disintegrated, a cloud of pale, inky mist rose about ten feet into the air. Within it, the three-foot-tall, illusory form of a demon was faintly visible.

The illusory form’s Demonic Qi wasn’t dense, yet it faintly radiated a terrifying pressure that far exceeded the power of Demonic Qi.

Its eyes glowed with an eerie, greenish-red light. It glanced at Jiang Huaijin and Qin Hongbin chanting the Vast Righteous Qi Song and showed a flicker of contempt.

It immediately ignored the two of them, turning to stare at Chen Cheng, who was now visible nearby. Its eyes were filled with fury.

Chen Cheng was also startled when he sensed the tyrannical aura of the demon’s illusory form, but a glint of keen excitement soon flashed through his clear, profound eyes.

This was clearly the legendary Demonic Thought. The Power of Heaven and Earth Origin it represented was similar to the Cyan Heaven Dharma Aspect and Hassamutira’s Fierce-eyed Vajra Dharma Aspect.

The difference was that the Cyan Heaven Dharma Aspect was condensed from Vast Righteous Qi and had long since been refined into a Martial Artist’s purest form of Telekinesis.

Hassamutira’s Fierce-eyed Vajra Dharma Aspect, on the other hand, was condensed from a kind of faith-based Telekinesis, making it both righteous and evil.

The Demonic Thought before him, however, was born of Demonic Qi. It was evil, foul, and corrupt, containing a dark, baleful death qi, and possessed the power of annihilation and corrosion!

The degree of the Demonic Thought’s condensation far surpassed that of a First Layer Mind Power Dharma Aspect. It could deliver a massive blow to one’s mind and make one instinctively feel a terrifying pressure.

But the amount of this Demonic Thought was extremely limited, its power insufficient to threaten Chen Cheng.

After all, the amount of Telekinesis from Chen Cheng’s Cyan Heaven Dharma Aspect was already immense. Sheer quantity alone was enough to compensate for the gap in power.

If Chen Cheng wished, he could crush and annihilate the Demonic Thought before him in an instant.

However, Chen Cheng didn’t choose to use the Telekinesis of his Cyan Heaven Dharma Aspect to extinguish it. Instead, he began to consider the Secret Technique of Daoxin Demon Planting.

This Secret Technique of Daoxin Demon Planting wasn’t some wicked, heretical art, but one of the most orthodox cultivation Dharma Gates from ancient times.

The Chaos Body cultivated through it was a constitution of legends, unparalleled throughout history.

The cultivation requirements for this Secret Technique were incredibly demanding. First, one had to cultivate Telekinesis comparable to the level of a Dharma Aspect, using it to fortify the Dao Heart.

Only then could one plant the Demon Seed and use it to gather Demonic Qi for tempering the physical body.

Planting the Demon Seed also required a Demonic Thought as its foundation. Furthermore, one had to obliterate the Demon Venerable’s will within the Demonic Thought, purifying it and bringing it under one’s own control.

Obtaining a Demonic Thought was incredibly difficult, and obliterating the will within it required a massive amount of pure Telekinesis.

Even after obtaining a Demonic Thought, obliterating its will, and successfully planting the Demon Seed, it still wasn’t enough. One also needed an exceptionally powerful physique to withstand being tempered by Demonic Qi.

The physique’s power had to be at least at the absolute limit achievable through Qi Blood Power tempering, and this limit of Qi Blood body refining was itself the stuff of legend.

Reaching the limit in even a single Body Refining Realm was incredibly difficult; tempering all Five Realms of Body Refining to their absolute limits was a legend among legends!

With such demanding conditions, almost no one in this world could possibly meet them all!

But Chen Cheng clearly had a great chance. He could temper his entire Acquired Body Refining Realm to its limit. Add to that his Cyan Heaven Dharma Aspect, with a Telekinesis value of over one hundred thousand, and it was a perfect match!

’For other Martial Artists, the Secret Technique of Daoxin Demon Planting is a legend among legends. But for me, it’s simply a cultivation Dharma Gate that I can pursue naturally. This Demonic Thought right here is an opportunity that’s delivered itself to my doorstep!’

As he thought this, Chen Cheng’s gaze gradually grew fiery. It was the thrill of a hunter spotting its prey.

The Demon Shadow sensed the change in Chen Cheng’s expression and was involuntarily struck with a sense of crisis.

This sense of crisis made It extremely uncomfortable, and also fanned the flames of Its fury. ℯℯ𝘭.

"You insolent ant, you court death!"

The Demon Shadow snorted, then, cloaked in faint Demonic Qi, it shot toward Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng’s expression remained indifferent. He activated his Qi Blood Power, raised his right palm slightly, and unleashed the Dragon Roar Realm!

A dragon’s roar sounded! Streams of energy from the Dragon Roar Realm surged from his palm, rushing toward the Demon Shadow!

BOOM!

A thunderclap erupted out of a clear sky!

The Demonic Qi enveloping the Demon Shadow was blasted apart, but the energy of the Dragon Roar Realm was also completely depleted.

"Hmph!" The Demon Shadow snorted, then abruptly dissolved into streams of shapeless, formless Demonic Thought that surged toward Chen Cheng!

The Demonic Thought instantly invaded Chen Cheng’s body and rushed toward his sea of consciousness, intending to occupy it and annihilate his Divine Sense.

Chen Cheng was already prepared. He had filled his entire sea of consciousness with Dharma Thought Power. However, the might of the Dharma Thought Power was far inferior to the Demonic Thought, and it was annihilated and scattered.

But the sheer amount of Dharma Thought Power was immense. As the Demonic Thought annihilated the Dharma Thought Power, the Demon Venerable’s will attached to it was simultaneously being eroded away!

"You dare, whelp!"

The Demonic Thought was both shocked and enraged, unleashing furious roars through its will!

Seeing that it couldn’t occupy Chen Cheng’s sea of consciousness, It decisively sent out a thought: "You dare ruin this venerable one’s Demon Seed? This venerable one will cripple you!

Demon Thought Cage!"

The Demonic Thought suddenly exploded, shattering into the illusory forms of countless cages that enveloped Chen Cheng’s body!

The illusory cages gradually tightened, and within moments, they had completely disappeared into Chen Cheng’s body!

Chen Cheng inspected himself with his Telekinesis and saw that his entire body was now riddled with cages formed from the Demonic Thought. They seemed to have sealed off certain hidden points within him.

Chen Cheng tried to circulate his Qi Blood Power, but it flowed unimpeded. He tried to mobilize the aura of his Realm, and that too was without obstruction.
