Chapter 203: Chapter 149: Suppression, Come Out
Now that all the Spiritual Monkeys had been captured, the more than ten Quasi True Successors were no longer hindered and rushed toward Pure Yang Lake to begin absorbing the water of pure Yang.
But as soon as they arrived at the lakeside, they noticed something was off—the lake water had sunk by several zhang, and the water level was still visibly dropping quickly.
"What\'s going on?" someone exclaimed in surprise and doubt.
"Someone\'s at the bottom of the lake, absorbing the water of pure Yang!" Suddenly, someone, using their Great Divine Power, detected the anomaly at the bottom of the lake and immediately shouted.
"Daring to steal the water of pure Yang while we were fending off the White Ape is simply seeking death!" A Quasi True Successor from the Thunderstorm Clan was enraged, and without hesitation, used his divine skills.
A tumultuous surge of primordial energy above his head gathered storm clouds which condensed into a massive column of water, shooting down from the clouds toward Yang Ji, who lay hidden at the bottom of the lake, like a spear from heaven.
"This guy sure is clever, taking advantage of the chaos to collect water, but I fear he won\'t be able to enjoy his spoils!" A Quasi True Successor from the Thousand Eyes Clan opened his thousand eyes, shooting out sharp streaks of blood light straight at the bottom of the lake.
The Quasi True Successors from the other clans also initiated their killing moves, wishing to slaughter Yang Ji outright.
His actions had infuriated them; no one dared to pluck the peaches right under their noses.
In an instant, more than ten Quasi True Successors unleashed their killing moves, all striking out simultaneously in a scene of extreme shock and awe.
"Damn it, instead of collecting the water of pure Yang, why are these guys going crazy on us?" Buddha Child cursed furiously while interweaving myriad Dao Runes with his hands, one forming a Buddha seal and the other forming a demonic gesture.
The resplendent "Buddha" character and the foreboding "Demon" character surged out, striking in all directions, seeking to counter the attacks sent by the Quasi True Successors.
Yang Ji\'s expression also became increasingly solemn, his aura surging as he fully deployed his divine skills.
Nine Nether Claw!
Silent Extermination Kick!
Asura Finger!
Soul Grinding Tune!
With these four powerful divine skills executed in succession, the Demon Claw, the shadow of the kick, the light from the finger, and the sounds of soul grinding, Yang Ji forcefully cleared his path like a deity and surged out of the lake\'s surface.
Facing over ten Quasi True Successors hovering by the lakeside, Yang Ji suddenly used the Earth Start Shifting Technique. His hands interwove mysterious Dao Runes, embedding them into the Earth and imprinting them into the void.
Suddenly, the earth began to spin, the heavens shifted, and in the blink of an eye, Yang Ji exchanged positions with everyone else.
"This is the Earth Start Shifting Technique, not good, he\'s trying to escape!" The wide-ranging experiences of the Quasi True Successors allowed them to instantly recognize this divine skill and deduce Yang Ji\'s intention.
However, before they could launch their divine skills, Yang Ji, who had already calculated his move, turned into a streak of light and vanished beyond the horizon in the blink of an eye.
"Damn it! Let\'s chase!" the Quasi True Successor from the Savage Beast Clan shouted angrily.
Yet after taking two steps, he saw that no one else moved; everyone else\'s gaze had shifted slightly to Pure Yang Lake below.
Clearly, although they were incensed by Yang Ji\'s actions, they were not blinded by their anger. Pure Yang Lake was, at the moment, far more appealing to them.
One of the Quasi True Successors then said, "Man Shan, that kid took away a large amount of the water of pure Yang. You go after him and kill him; anything you obtain in the process will be yours alone—we will not share with you."
Everyone, through the earlier confrontation, realized that the man\'s strength was undoubtedly strong, and even if they all gave chase, they might not be able to kill him; they would just be wasting time instead.
If, during this time, there were still others lurking around, eyeing Pure Yang Lake and managing to absorb all its water while they were on the chase, then they would end up at a tremendous loss.
Each had their own calculations in mind, and they immediately made the choice that was most beneficial to themselves; they turned and rushed toward Pure Yang Lake to begin absorbing the water of pure Yang.
"Hmph!" Man Shan of the Savage Beast Clan snorted coldly, clearly not willing to chase after Yang Ji alone. He then turned and plunged into Pure Yang Lake, also starting to use his magical treasures to absorb the water of pure Yang.
As they began absorbing the water of pure Yang, the body of a Stone People Clan member, shattered by the White Ape, suddenly transformed into a gust of demonic Qi, revealing a pair of You Tong eyes. He glanced at Pure Yang Lake and then at the direction where Yang Ji had fled, as if contemplating, then snorted coldly and decisively flew in the direction Yang Ji had gone.
Having used his utmost speed, Yang Ji quickly traveled tens of thousands of li.
"Master, are we just leaving like this? With our strength, are we afraid of those guys? I could have made sure they didn\'t get a single drop of water of pure Yang," Buddha Child said discontentedly.
"No, it\'s not that I\'m afraid of them," Yang Ji shook his head, his eyes reflecting deep thought.
When a top-tier Mahayana entered and claimed those three White Apes, he immediately felt the urge to leave.
The reason such powerful beings took away the White Ape must be because they noticed the secret it held to break through the world\'s constraints, and all signs pointed to the Sacred Peach Tree, which was now on Yang Ji\'s person. If those strong beings were to come back and trace through time, they would certainly notice something amiss.
If they knew it was he who took the Sacred Peach Tree, by the time he wanted to leave, it might become difficult to extricate himself.
Thus, he did not entangle himself too much with the Quasi True Successors of the various clans. After collecting a decent amount of Pure Yang Water, he no longer had the desire to explore other places and planned to leave the Secret Realm first.
However, at this moment, Yang Ji suddenly stopped on a mountaintop, glanced at a strand of almost imperceptible black thread wrapped around his foot, and revealed an inexplicable smile—the thread was indeed "Demonic Qi"!
He knew for certain it was a mark that the Heavenly Demon had secretly placed on him earlier, in order to track him.
During the fight just earlier, he had intentionally let slip a whiff of Heavenly Demon\'s breath, which sure enough caught the attention of that Heavenly Demon.
Shortly after he stopped, indeed, a voice came from behind him.
"Junior Brother! Why are you still here hunting for treasures? A pool of Pure Yang Water has been found deeper inside. Senior Brother sent a message for me to come out and find help to collect it, let\'s go together." At this moment, Yang Ji had taken on the appearance of the Stone People Clan, and that Heavenly Demon had also transformed into the appearance of the Stone People Clan.
Upon hearing the words of the Heavenly Demon, Yang Ji grinned and said, "Which hall\'s demon brat are you?"
Having the qualification to cultivate the Thousand Transformations Technique of the Heavenly Demons, and the audacity to mingle among the major forces, it was evident that this Heavenly Demon was not ordinary.
In the Heavenly Demon Clan as well, he was surely considered a genius and would have inevitably joined a major force within the clan.
Just like the human forces, the Heavenly Demon forces are named as sects, but internally they are divided into halls. Therefore, Yang Ji did not beat around the bush. He outright challenged his identity with this question.
He did not immediately kill because he was also curious about the Heavenly Demon\'s purpose.
Sure enough, once Yang Ji spoke plainly, the Heavenly Demon, taken aback, then burst into an eerie laugh, his body shook, and transformed into a demon qi surging youth in a black robe, sinisterly saying, "You really are of my kind!"
"I come from the Demon Hall of the Heavenly Demon Sect. My current mission is to complete the third trial task set by the sect. Seeing the divine power used by Senior Brother, it seems we are from the same sect. Are you out here for the trial task as well?"
"Heavenly Demon Sect? Isn\'t that the same sect as Tian Xie whom I met at the Training Ground of the Heavenly Demons?" Thought Yang Ji quickly to himself, then smiled and said, "I am also from the Heavenly Demon Sect! Right, Junior Brother, have you completed your trial task? Do you need my help?"
"I have slain a Stone People Clan genius equivalent to the Demon King Realm, so I have completed my trial task. What about you, Senior Brother?" the Heavenly Demon casually smiled.
"I have also completed my trial task and was just about to leave," replied Yang Ji, his smile as innocent as prey.
"I was also about to return to the sect. Senior Brother, let\'s go together," said the Heavenly Demon with a sinister smile, while thoughts floated above his head, "Greed," "The Pure Yang Water and the Dragon Blood Crystal are all mine!"
"Alright!" Yang Ji glanced at the words above the Heavenly Demon\'s head, smiled, and turned around. Just then, the Heavenly Demon behind him suddenly revealed a vicious smile. His palm twisted with Demon Runes, forming a spike-filled spiraling black hole, and he struck towards Yang Ji\'s head, intending to annihilate his Demon Soul.
But the instant Yang Ji turned around, he had already used the Earth Start Shifting Technique and mysteriously arrived behind the Heavenly Demon. He fiercely executed the Yin Yang Separation at Dawn technique, the Yin Yang Energies sharp as knives, slashing heavily upon the Heavenly Demon\'s Demon Soul, causing significant damage in an instant.
At the same time, the Soul Grinding Tune followed closely, its endless demonic sound runes transformed into a massive black grinding disc. It thoroughly suppressed the severely injured Demon Soul, preventing it from using the Great Body Disintegration Technique of the Heavenly Demons to escape.
Indeed, to deal with a Heavenly Demon, the Divine Skills of the Heavenly Demons were much more effective. With this suppression, the Demon was instantly immobilized and screamed in agony.
"To strike such a heavy blow against your fellow sect member? After all, we are from the same sect," Yang Ji said with a mocking laugh, pretending to be surprised, while inwardly commenting on how ruthless the Heavenly Demon was, to kill without hesitation or regard for the bond between sect members.
"Ah... Senior Brother, please spare my life!" The Heavenly Demon screamed miserably, terrified to the core as the Soul Grinding Tune was unleashed, instantly realizing that this "Heavenly Demon" in front of him was no ordinary member. He quickly begged for mercy.
"Spare you?" Yang Ji contemplated with his chin in hand, looked at the wailing Heavenly Demon, and surprisingly nodded, "I can spare your life, but leave your mind open for me to plant a Heart Gu!"
Before, he had not cultivated the Heavenly Demon Parasitic Technique, so meeting a Heavenly Demon and killing it was that simple. Find exclusive stories on мѵʟ
Now, having cultivated the Heavenly Demon Parasitic Technique, he wanted to read through the Heavenly Demon\'s memories by accessing their minds, curious about what the Heavenly Demon sect truly looked like.
He also wanted to understand the various situations in the extraterrestrial starry sky through this Heavenly Demon who lived beyond their realm.
"Plant a Heart Gu?" The Heavenly Demon\'s expression drastically changed.
"What\'s wrong? Don\'t want to? Then go to death!", Yang Ji\'s expression suddenly turned cold, he urged the black grinding disc, preparing to crush the Heavenly Demon to death.
"Ah, Senior Brother, I am willing to submit!" The Heavenly Demon screamed miserably, feeling the breath of death, and immediately gave in.
Seeing the Heavenly Demon voluntarily open his mind, Yang Ji gave a cold smile, soon planting the Heart Gu into the core of his mind.
