Seemed like the consumption of the Boundless Sword Skill wasn't the cause of the monster's activation. He decided to give up on training and depleted his God's Power to 5% before turning his body into a demon.
It moved! The moment Du Feng transformed himself into a demonic cultivator, he felt the stone pillar closest to him tremble slightly. It was really just a slight tremble. Because he wasn't paying attention the previous time, he couldn't feel it at all. This time around, he had to concentrate to notice it.
Understood. Seemed like the transformation from a stone pillar to an ancient corpse had something to do with a demon. This wasn't strange. After all, this was the Sky Demon Region. As long as it had something to do with it, it could have an unexpected impact. Take the demon elemental energy that was gushing into his body as an example. The same logic applied.
If he didn't turn into a demon, he wouldn't have benefited so much.
This time around, after Du Feng turned into a demon, he didn't sit down to cultivate. Instead, he stood there and stared at the stone pillar. He allowed the demon elemental energy to gush into his body without taking the initiative to absorb it. As the demon elemental energy continued to gush in, the pillar began to show signs of melting.
This melting state was just like how a meteorite would melt when it passed through the atmosphere. Or rather, it was like iron ore being heated up in a furnace.
Du Feng was really bold. He just stared at the stone pillar, which was constantly changing. Slowly, it turned into something that looked like a human, yet not a human at the same time. The skin was falling off and the flesh was rotting. It was a disgusting sight indeed.
The rotting stench was getting thicker and thicker. The head of the ancient corpse had already appeared and the rest of the body was starting to appear. Du Feng observed from such a close distance. However, he held his breath because it was way too smelly. Not only was the stench disgusting, but it also brought with it an aura of death that made one feel hopeless and helpless.
Suddenly, Du Feng had a new thought. Could the remnant soul of the big ancient demon be residing in these stone pillars? These stone pillars might really be meteorites from outer space that fell here by chance. A portion of the big ancient demon's remnant soul had made use of this opportunity to reside here.
Because he had turned into a pure demonic cultivator, he had triggered the remnant soul of the Big Ancient Demon closest to him. That was why the stone pillar had changed.
With this idea in mind, Du Feng decided to do another test. This time, he moved to the side of another stone pillar, and then transformed into a demonic cultivator, allowing the demonic elemental energy to continuously enter his body. At the same time, he stared at the stone pillar.
As expected, the stone pillar began to melt. Slowly, a face appeared, then the entire head, followed by the torso.
Du Feng took a few steps back, but maintained his Beast Cultivator form. He watched as the ancient corpse slowly came back to life and slowly crawled over.
It was a terrifying feeling to see a corpse crawling towards you with its face sticking out. It was as if the Grim Reaper was approaching step by step. As long as he touched it, he would definitely die. The speed of the ancient corpses crawling gradually increased, and the chilly wind in the surroundings also became stronger.
Stop! At this moment, Du Feng canceled his Beast Cultivator state. The tide-like demonic elemental energy in the surroundings stopped abruptly, and the ancient corpse stopped moving.
Just like that, Du Feng stood there in a daze, observing the ancient corpse without moving. The ancient corpse was on all fours, staring at him without moving. After about half a day, the ancient corpse still had no intention of turning back into a stone pillar.
What was going on? Why was the situation different this time? Could there be a mistake somewhere?
Previously, when Du Feng stopped absorbing the demonic elemental energy, the ancient corpse would slowly turn back into a stone pillar. If it continued to maintain its Ancient Corpse state, it would be extremely dangerous.
Du Feng tried taking a step back, and the ancient corpse took a step forward.
Ugh …. This step gave Du Feng goosebumps. Previously, the ancient corpse's movements were slow. But this step was extremely fast. Almost at the same time he took a step back, it followed.
After adjusting his breathing, Du Feng took another step back. As expected, the ancient corpse took another step. If an ordinary person saw this, they would definitely turn around and run away. But Du Feng didn't do that. He stopped and began to think. If he turned around and ran away now, the ancient corpse would certainly chase him. And last time, the ancient corpse was already close to his face, why did it stop?
He tried to operate his cultivation method, transforming the demonic elemental energy into the power of god. Sure enough, during this process, as long as he didn't move, the ancient corpse wouldn't move. The only problem was that the two were very close to each other, which was very exciting. If the ancient corpse pounced on him, it would be very difficult for him to avoid it.
As the demonic elemental energy decreased, the power of god increased. The ancient corpse began to move restlessly, and the aura of death from its body spread everywhere.
This situation was very bad. It meant that the ancient corpse was about to lose control, and could attack Du Feng at any time. But Du Feng couldn't move at this time, because if he moved, the ancient corpse might pounce on him. If he didn't move, at least there was a glimmer of hope.
When the demonic elemental energy had been transformed by more than half, the ancient corpse finally moved. It didn't immediately pounce on him, but slowly moved, much slower than before. Du Feng subconsciously retreated, but the ancient corpse continued to follow him.
In the process of following, one could see that its skin was hardening, or more accurately, petrifying. It was as if there was an invisible force that was pulling it back, wanting to drag it back to its previous position on the stone pillar.
Du Feng hurriedly transformed the remaining demonic elemental energy in his body, and at the same time, he was still retreating. Because he didn't sit cross-legged, the transformation speed was a bit slower. But the demonic elemental energy in his body was gradually decreasing, and the power of god was gradually increasing. The ancient corpse's movement speed was getting slower, and it began to uncontrollably move backward, gradually petrifying.
Du Feng simply sat down and accelerated the transformation of the demonic elemental energy into the power of god. He had completely figured out the reason why the ancient corpse was like this. It was because he had absorbed a large amount of demonic elemental energy, or in other words, gathered a large amount of demonic elemental energy.
This gathering of demonic elemental energy was equivalent to activating the ancient corpse. However, after the ancient corpse woke up, it mistakenly thought that Du Feng was of the same race, so it only followed him and didn't attack him. Later, the demonic elemental energy in Du Feng's body became less and less, and the power of god became more and more. The ancient corpse began to wonder whether he was of the demon race or the god race.
