Chapter 602 - 591: Demonic Body

Chiyou was just probing.

Unexpectedly, with one probe, he guessed right.

Before, he was perplexed about how Ding Ling could have learned the Demon Scripture, and why the reverse meridians had only now been developed and activated?!

There must be some trickery involved.

And now, with this probe.

He got the result he wanted.

Chiyou was increasingly shocked and dazed, finding it hard to believe that such a supreme genius could exist in this world!

He remembered that learning the Demon Scripture had cost him dearly!

Especially opening up the reverse meridians brought him great suffering; as no one before him had ever succeeded in mastering the Demon Scripture!

He had created the Demon Scripture by absorbing nutrients from the Dao Scripture and Pangu Celestial Divination Shock, two absolute fundamental techniques!

He knew well the difficulty of this cultivation technique, and he believed that apart from himself, none of his valued subordinates or other supreme geniuses had reached Great Perfection.

Yet now, Ding Ling, a young man from the Human Race, had mastered the Demon Scripture to Great Perfection in an instant.

How is this possible?!

[Obtained D-level Achievement Medal: You have shocked Chiyou!]

[Notes: Your mastered Divine Form, Vast Righteous Qi, and Buddha Qi have shocked Chiyou. Your instant mastery of the Demon Scripture has left Chiyou dazed, questioning life and feeling a strong sense of déjà vu in a dreamlike world!]

Upon hearing the prompt.

Ding Ling understood that his deception had surely been seen through by Chiyou.

He felt some regret.

He had just obtained a fundamental technique of the Demon Scripture.

He still wished to acquire the skill of the Demon Scripture and other cultivation techniques like the War God Technique from Chiyou.

It was imaginable.

Chiyou, in the Ancient Era, a time of numerous talents, held the titles of Commander and War God; his might and combat power must have been earth-shattering, capable of scaring ghosts and gods!

He had used full-level acting and loophole exploration to obtain this Demon Scripture, and now with Chiyou’s realization, it was likely tough to obtain further cultivation techniques.

Sure enough.

After revealing Ding Ling’s secret, Chiyou’s face changed unpredictably as he pondered over something, until he finally took a breath and said:

"Disciple, if you truly consider me your master, open your sea of consciousness immediately."

"Master, you haven’t taught me the skill of the Demon Scripture yet."

Ding Ling spoke sincerely, with utmost sincerity:

"As soon as you teach me the skill, I’ll open my sea of consciousness."

"..."

Chiyou was speechless and silent.

Ding Ling’s talent astonished Chiyou beyond imagination.

This made Chiyou even less inclined to freely impart the skill of the Demon Scripture to Ding Ling.

If he were to teach Ding Ling this skill.

Ding Ling would understand the Soul Splitting and Heart Entering Technique, allowing him to instantly comprehend Chiyou’s scheme, leading to an inevitable mortal conflict!

Thinking of this, Chiyou said:

"This skill is closely tied to my life, and therefore I can’t teach it. If you want to learn other techniques, open your sea of consciousness, and I will inject all techniques into it."

"All techniques?"

"Indeed."

Chiyou stared heavenward with bright eyes, seemingly facing Ding Ling’s gaze:

"Including the skill of the Demon Scripture."

Ding Ling scanned his sea of consciousness.

The most important thing in his sea of consciousness was the library.

In addition, there was his consciousness body.

The consciousness body is invisibly connected to the sea of consciousness, and if the sea of consciousness is damaged, the consciousness body would surely be severely injured.

Therefore, one must never casually open one’s sea of consciousness to others.

Ding Ling knew Chiyou had yet to act, which likely meant there was a greater scheme, possibly targeting his life, and judging this, Ding Ling immediately rejected Chiyou’s proposal.

Chiyou was enraged:

"Boy, I’ve already taught you the Demon Scripture. You’re not doing anything in return; isn’t this too much?"

"I’ve released you from my heart, how can you say I haven’t done anything?"

Ding Ling paused, probing:

"If you’re indeed uneasy, I can help you exit my body and go to the outside world."

Upon hearing this, Chiyou showed a panicked expression:

"Impossible!"

"It seems my master’s soul body is indeed very fragile."

Ding Ling saw through it; Chiyou had no choice but to stay within his body, as exiting into the outside world might result in immediate annihilation.

It goes without saying.

Chiyou would choose to use the skill of the Demon Scripture to enter his heart.

Definitely a choice made over thousands of years with no alternatives.

Seeing him approach the coffin, excited and thrilled, made him overlook other thoughts.

But he likely didn’t anticipate the presence of Vast Righteous Qi within one’s heart, even if only Buddha Qi, unable to control him.

Whereas Vast Righteous Qi is precisely his nemesis!

Having learned the Demon Scripture’s fundamental technique, Ding Ling understood this deeply; full-level Demon Scripture makes Buddha Qi hard to suppress, only producing some restraining effects.

Only the grand, vast, pure Heaven and Earth’s Righteous Qi is the true nemesis of Evil Qi and Demon Qi.

And Vast Righteous Qi is the purest form of Heaven and Earth’s Righteous Qi!

If not for the protection of Vast Righteous Qi at his heart, he would certainly have fallen into Chiyou’s trap this time!

In essence.

He and Chiyou were already mortal enemies!

Chiyou intended to kill him!

Ding Ling was well-aware, the more he understood the Demon Scripture, the more he knew Chiyou harbored deceitful intentions!

Chiyou too realized this point, knowing it could no longer be hidden, he laughed thrice, saying:

"Although I am very vulnerable, should I choose to strike back, boy, your sea of consciousness will surely shatter, leading to mutual destruction. If you do not wish to die, open your sea of consciousness or your heart."

Chiyou’s face turned fierce, as Demon Qi ignited around him, stirring into intense flames, and his once mighty form suddenly transformed, becoming a monster with three heads, six arms, eight legs, and a human body with bull hooves.

His eyes emitted black flames, burning the surface of Dragon Form and Elephant Form until they began to crackle:

"Brat, you’ve witnessed my power. If you still refuse to cooperate, don’t blame me for my ruthlessness!"

"Hmph."

Ding Ling snorted softly, saying:

"Chiyou, it’s a disgrace that, as a Commander of your time, you resort to such means and schemes to bully a junior!"

From earlier displays of false bravado and grandeur.

To inadvertently revealing impatience and rapid emotional changes.

All of this indicated the Commander was scheming to seize his body!

Understanding this thoroughly, Ding Ling saw Chiyou was unwilling to teach techniques. He stopped bickering with Chiyou, released a ray of Vast Righteous Qi like lightning towards Chiyou.

Chiyou, seeing this, was enraged:

"Brat, you truly wish to perish together!"

Ding Ling did not respond.

He didn’t believe Chiyou had the capability to mutually annihilate.

Because his sea of consciousness is protected by the library!

Could Chiyou shatter the library?!

He did not believe it!

"Hahaha, fine, fine!"

Chiyou laughed with great anger, frustration, suppression, and despair:

"I just came into being not long ago, and encountered a uniquely gifted cunning brat like you! It’s my bad luck, but kid, don’t be too pleased, this is merely one of my soul divisions, even if annihilated here, it won’t harm me!"
