Xu Liao switched to a different technique, the black ball of light in his palm transforming into a large hand that scooped at the air.
The Arabian Demon Lord, already heavily injured, had no time to resist and was scooped up by the black hand. As Xu Liao lightly pulled back the hand, he immediately sensed that this technique was constantly advancing …
"So this Cosmic Origin Artifact can also use the Five Elements Chaotic Hole Capturing Art!"
The Cosmic Origin Artifact could create and destroy worlds, but it was not just for the Paradise Sword Sutra. In truth, it could also be used for other techniques. Although Xu Liao knew of the Five Elements Chaotic Hole Capturing Art, he had never thought about cultivating it. After all, he already had many techniques on his own. But now that he had been inspired, he tried it out, and as expected, he was able to suppress the Arabian Demon Lord, causing the technique to steadily advance in power.
The Arabian Demon Lord was someone who had opened several dozen true meridians, so the Five Elements Chaotic Hole Capturing Art was easy to use. It only needed to digest one to two percent of the Demon Lord's cultivation to break through to the Yao King and Yao General levels. The Arabian Demon Lord immediately sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly used his demonic energy to counterattack. Xu Liao switched the Five Elements Chaotic Hole Capturing Art to the Paradise Sword Sutra, forcefully suppressing the Arabian Demon Lord's resistance.
After heavily injuring the Arabian Demon Lord, Xu Liao once more used the Five Elements Chaotic Hole Capturing Art. The Arabian Demon Lord sensed that something was wrong and once more began to counterattack. After repeated attempts, Xu Liao was able to break through to the Yao Commander level and refine the Arabian Demon Lord until he was on the verge of death.
Gu Yangshen had used this technique to refine countless demons in order to break through to the Enlightened Master level.
Xu Liao had once been rather envious of Gu Yangshen, but his cultivation had been too weak at the time and he hadn't been able to refine a few powerful demons. Moreover, this technique had many flaws, and it couldn't increase one's strength without limit. One could only use devouring demons to break through, and after breaking through, one still had to stabilize their cultivation.
This method allowed one to advance a level in advance. However, after that, one would still have to bitterly cultivate for many years to stabilize their foundation. Therefore, after Gu Yangshen broke through, he still had to stabilize his foundation. After so many years, his cultivation had not improved at all. He had to make up for the shortcoming of advancing by leaps and bounds.
Although Xu Liao could not avoid the shortcomings of the Five Elements Chaotic Hole Great Capturing Art, it was not a foundational Daoist art of his. Even if it was a little superficial, he could still endure it. Thus, he continued to refine the Arabian Demon Lord.
The Arabian Demon Lord had been heavily injured time and time again by Xu Liao, and he no longer had the strength to resist. Xu Liao used the Five Elements Chaotic Hole Great Grappling Art to refine him. The poor Arabian Demon Lord was cleanly digested by the Five Elements Chaotic Hole Great Grappling Art, his heaven-shaking cultivation transformed into one of Xu Liao's Yao God arts.
After completely digesting the Arabian Demon Lord, Xu Liao was rather satisfied. But as he carefully examined the Five Elements Chaotic Hole Great Grappling Art, he realized that this art was too short-sighted and had many flaws that needed to be fixed. If he wanted to switch to this cultivation method, the amount of energy and time he would have to spend would not be much less than breaking through from the beginning. However, if he only treated this cultivation method as an offensive spell, he could actually ignore these flaws.
Xu Liao put away the art and went to investigate the Arabian Demon Lord's lair. He had wandered around this place for a long time, so it was clear that there was a supreme treasure of the primordial era here. Using the Paradise Sword Sutra and the Five Elements Chaotic Hole Great Grappling Art, he rummaged through the Arabian Demon Lord's lair and finally found a strange pebble.
All the other rocks had been pulverized by his energy, but this pebble remained unharmed. Thus, Xu Liao knew that this was a treasure.
He held the pebble in his hand, but he couldn't sense any spiritual energy, so he used the Paradise Sword Sutra to grind it. At first, the pebble could endure, but how sharp was the Paradise Sword Sutra? After seven or eight times, the pebble was ground open. Like a chicken, the pebble on the outside was broken and peeled off, revealing a small pagoda inside. It was divided into twenty-eight floors, and each floor had a different number of natural gods. These gods that were as thin as grains of rice activated their magic power together and produced a strange power, as if they wanted to wrap the small pagoda up again and turn it into a hard pebble.
Of course, Xu Liao was not afraid. With just a wave of his hand, he sacrificially refined the first layer of restriction of this primeval supreme treasure. With the sacrificial refinement of this layer of restriction, the resistance of the innate gods in the pagoda became weaker. Many of them gave up resisting.
Xu Liao refined the second seal, and these gods finally stopped resisting. They allowed Xu Liao to peel off the pebble skin one by one, revealing the entire appearance of the pagoda.
However, Xu Liao couldn't command these natural gods, and he couldn't control this primordial era treasure. Xu Liao refined the third seal again, and finally, he found the core of this primordial era treasure. These natural gods gave off a weak response. Xu Liao could command the weaker small gods, but he still couldn't command those with strong mana.
Xu Liao had nothing to do, so he summoned a Spirit Tower of Ten Thousand Faults, hid in it, and started to refine this treasure.
This treasure was more difficult to refine than ordinary Desolate Era supreme treasures, but it took Xu dozens of days to refine the fourth restriction. Although Xu couldn't use the full power of this treasure after refining this restriction, he could already use it as if it was his own arm, and it was very handy.
At this time, Xu Liao could faintly sense the strangeness of these natural gods.
Most of these natural born deities were in the form of beasts. Some were wild boars, some were giant elephants, some were white bears, some were ferocious tigers, and the slightly stronger ones were in the form of giants. Within the small pagoda, the small ones were extremely tiny, but once they left the pagoda and landed on the ground, they would all be giants that were hundreds of meters tall, looking extremely awe-inspiring.
He couldn't summon the higher level gods for the time being, but Xu Liao had a faint sense of familiarity. He hastily used the clone that suppressed the human dao countries to calculate, and only then did he confirm that it wasn't an illusion.
Even with his current mana, it was already rare for him to refine the fourth seal in dozens of days. If he wanted to go one step further and refine the fifth seal, it would take him at least dozens of years.
Xu Liao also knew that if he didn't have dozens of years to refine the fifth seal, he would need to refine at least one true meridian, or else he wouldn't be able to know the details of this treasure. He hesitated a little, but still chose to stay in the Spirit Tower of Ten Thousand Faults and continue refining this treasure.
He wanted to go out and search for other primordial treasures, but when Xu Liao asked the clone that suppressed the human dao countries, he found that the primordial world had changed again. The demon gods and demon lords that accompanied the treasures also began to discover the wonders of these treasures. Some of them even received the favor of the primordial world and quietly left the mountain fields that they occupied, making it difficult to calculate their whereabouts.
This was because Jieyin and Xu Liao messed around in the primordial world, killing many demon gods and demon lords, and snatching many treasures that shouldn't have belonged to them, causing all sorts of changes.
Perhaps even if he went to search for treasures now, he would probably come back empty-handed. Thus, he focused on refining this treasure that he'd obtained.
