Chapter 1120 - 687: The 2nd Ancient Demon Soldier! (4K)
In the tribulation ground of Mount Taihua Sacred Land, Dugu Aotian began his tribulation.
Dugu Aotian, aiming to break through to the Divine King Realm, attracted heavenly thunder strong enough to devastate the surrounding hundred miles.
Therefore, Dugu Aotian returned to Mount Taihua Sacred Land to undergo the tribulation in a space specifically designed for this purpose.
Endless heavenly thunder descended, lightning flashed, and the Great Dao Gold Thunder surged with golden light, illuminating the heavens and earth.
Dugu Aotian’s eyes were resolute, holding the Yuan Tu Demon Sword, he faced the Great Dao Gold Thunder directly.
After devouring the blood energy of the Great Joyous Buddha and the South Heaven Tyrant, Dugu Aotian’s aura reached the Divine King Realm. This tribulation was a natural progression.
“The Demonic Ancestor Body truly deserves to be the foremost physique of the Demon Realm, slaying a Great Joyous Buddha of the Divine King Realm even in the Immortal Emperor Realm.”
Lu Changsheng, upon hearing of Dugu Aotian killing the Great Joyous Buddha, was unconcerned about retaliation from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
He had already had a rift with the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
Given the actions of the Great Joyous Buddha, even if Dugu Aotian hadn’t killed him, the Holy Mother of Yaochi would take action upon knowing.
Dugu Aotian’s tribulation attracted an extremely terrifying Great Dao Gold Thunder that poured down like a waterfall.
The Demonic Ancestor Body emitted overwhelming demonic qi, using the body of a Great Demon to endure the Great Dao Gold Thunder.
The Demonic Ancestor Body is a special physique of equal fame with the Supreme Emperor Body. Once it matures, it will be the next Demon Lord.
Lu Changsheng feared not Emperor Ku partly because his disciple’s qualifications were no less than those of Emperor Ku.
He intended to cultivate Dugu Aotian to counterbalance Emperor Ku.
Once all these disciples are fully cultivated, they will be sufficient to contend with one of the Divine Palaces of the Heavenly Court.
Despite the terrifying Great Dao Gold Thunder, Dugu Aotian already had the cultivation level of a Divine King Realm. Breaking through was merely a matter of course. A few days later, Dugu Aotian successfully completed the breakthrough, and the overwhelming demonic qi flowed into his body like seawater.
[Ding, your ninth disciple “Dugu Aotian” has advanced from the Immortal Emperor Realm to the Divine King Realm, earning you a disciple’s breakthrough reward: the Ancient Demon Soldier “Abi.”]
The moment Dugu Aotian completed his breakthrough, Lu Changsheng received a system notification.
The system awarded a second Ancient Demon Soldier!
This demon sword closely resembled “Yuan Tu,” as if they formed a set of magical treasures.
At just a glance, Lu Changsheng seemed to see endless purgatory, with both body and soul suffering greatly; cold sweat broke out behind him.
A peerless demon sword.
Lu Changsheng knew that even the Demon Lord coveted this demon sword.
If Dugu Aotian acquired both Ancient Demon Soldiers along with the Demonic Ancestor Body, his future power might command countless demon soldiers and generals of the Demon Realm.
If Dugu Aotian could master the Demon Realm, relying on his disciple’s influence, Lu Changsheng would fear no Miluo Palace.
Dugu Aotian finished the tribulation and sheathed the demon sword.
His aura was now many times more powerful than before, already bearing the demeanor of a Great Demon.
Should he take another major step forward and break through to the Immortal Realm, Dugu Aotian would be enough to match the Demon Lord.
Subsequently, Lu Changsheng imparted cultivation to Dugu Aotian.
Vast True Qi surged into Dugu Aotian’s body, and he refined Lu Changsheng’s True Qi into his own demonic qi.
A strand of demonic qi even tried to follow Lu Changsheng’s palm to erode his internal True Qi.
“Hmm?”
Lu Changsheng realized this strand of demonic qi was not under Dugu Aotian’s control, but rather the Demonic Ancestor Body autonomously attempting to corrode the human heart.
“The Demonic Ancestor Body indeed is the purest demonic physique.”
Lu Changsheng used Invincible Gang Qi to force this strand of demonic qi back into Dugu Aotian’s body, continuing to impart cultivation.
[Ding, you have given disciple Dugu Aotian eight hundred million Heavenly Cultivation, and he actually absorbed one hundred fifty million Heavenly Cultivation. You have received a forty-fold return reward for teaching: six billion Heavenly Cultivation.]
When the imparting of cultivation was complete, the system rewarded a vast amount of True Qi, bringing Lu Changsheng close to the sixth-grade Divine King Realm.
Artifacts like the Human Sovereign Cauldron, Taiyin Goddess Talisman, and Primordial Thunder Dragon Soul participated in dividing this True Qi.
Especially the Human Sovereign Cauldron, which, when contending with Emperor Ku’s Desolate Ancient Treasure Pagoda, was damaged again and needed a large amount of True Qi for repair.
“The Demonic Ancestor Body is the pinnacle physique of the demonic path. You must always maintain your original mind and not let the demonic nature completely consume you.”
Lu Changsheng reminded Dugu Aotian.
The higher Dugu Aotian’s cultivation level, the stronger the demonic nature of the Demonic Ancestor Body. If thoroughly plunged into the demonic path, he might become uncontrollable.
“Disciple will remember.”
Dugu Aotian also knew he was constantly at risk of falling into demonic insanity.
Entering the demonic path sacrifices reason, borrowing power beyond oneself, and requires paying a price.
“Alright.” Lu Changsheng withdrew his cultivation power and took out the Ancient Demon Soldier “Abi,” “I bestow upon you a new magical treasure. This sword and ‘Yuan Tu’ form a pair of demon swords.”
“How could I accept this?”
Dugu Aotian was captivated by the demon sword the moment Lu Changsheng took out Abi.
Dugu Aotian’s sword “Yuan Tu” also began to shudder violently.
Just as Lu Changsheng suspected, “Yuan Tu” and “Abi” are a pair of demon swords, of extremely high grade, capable of continuously absorbing blood qi and demonic qi to grow.
Even just one of these demon swords is already worth a fortune.
Yet Lu Changsheng did not value the two demon swords at all and bestowed them entirely upon Dugu Aotian.
“A comb in the hands of a monk is useless. Similarly, these two demon swords are not particularly useful to me, but they fit your physique and cultivation techniques perfectly, making the best use of everything.”
Lu Changsheng truly did not care.
He possessed many highest-grade magical treasures, the Human Sovereign Cauldron was even personally crafted by the Qing Emperor.
The Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda’s grade should not be inferior to “Yuan Tu” or “Abi.”
With too many supreme-grade magical treasures, Lu Changsheng’s True Qi was insufficient for all. Having two more or less demon swords was irrelevant to him.
