"The first two didn't have the hatching effects recorded in the books. Let's see what the seventh one is …" Lu Sheng closed his eyes and immersed himself in his body to sense and touch the seventh Devil Will heart.
"Whoosh … whoosh …"
The sound of the rising tide of the River of Poisoned Fog traveled into the cave. It was the crisp sound of waves beating against the stone walls.
As time passed, the beating grew louder and louder.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, Lu Sheng opened his eyes. A black heart appeared and spun rapidly above his head.
With a crack, the heart the size of a human head cracked open in the center. A strange bison slowly crawled out of it.
The bison was only the size of a palm when it first appeared. But as it absorbed the black gas around it, the Devil Will heart also turned into black liquid and was devoured.
The black bison grew larger and larger. Soon, it was more than three meters long and one meter tall.
"Moo …"
The bison glanced at Lu Sheng. Its eyes were empty holes that emitted black smoke. Its head was covered with countless horns that looked like a large number of greyish-white bone spurs. The ends of the horns glowed with a cold gray light, and it was a daunting sight.
"The Bull of Pain." Lu Sheng quickly understood the origin of this bison. It was the pain that came from the deepest part of his heart.
"Is its ability to amplify strength?"
This was a pleasant surprise.
Lu Sheng's strength was already strong enough. Now, there was another one that could amplify it.
"… There are only two left, and then they can all hatch." Lu Sheng was looking forward to it. It seemed that the Devil Will heart's ability would grow stronger as time went on.
The Bull of Pain quickly turned into black smoke and attached itself to his body. Lu Sheng quickly felt something like a membrane covering the surface of his body.
According to the records, the Bull of Pain was a type that amplified one's strength. Usually, Yin Devils of this type would produce a layer of something similar to bone gelatin, which would be mixed with Prime Devil Qi to cover their bodies.
This layer was arranged according to a mysterious structure and could amplify the strength of the main body. Normally, the smallest amplification was thirty percent. The largest was seventy percent.
Exerting a little strength, Lu Sheng pressed against the stone wall to the side.
"Puff."
It was like pressing tofu.
The stone wall sank in without a sound, revealing a deep finger print.
"My strength has increased by about 80%. Amazing!" Lu Sheng was overjoyed. He was strong to begin with. In his three-meter-tall form, his strength was twice as strong as the Middle Three Grade Serpent Demon. Once he transformed into his Yang Extreme Mode, his strength would increase by several times.
It could be said that he had never seen anyone stronger than him.
Now, if he were to add another eighty percent to this foundation … Even Lu Sheng himself was looking forward to seeing how powerful it would be.
"In terms of physical strength, if I couldn't be sure before, with this increase, I can basically step into the upper three grades, right?" Because he hadn't really seen the strength of the upper three grades, Lu Sheng didn't dare to be sure.
In the Snake realm, the upper three grades were the true difference between them and the lower two grades.
No one had ever told him what the difference was. The Prime Devil Sect didn't have anyone in the upper three grades to give him a reference. He could only rely on his own guesses and deductions.
"Right now, I'm at least seven or eight times stronger than I was when I fought Hongfang Bai at full strength. If this still can't compare to the upper three grades, then I really don't know how strong that tier is … "
With a thought, the black smoke from the Bull of Pain slowly dispersed and disappeared. The black Qi around Lu Sheng also slowly dissipated.
"Now, it's time to see how to use Mental Energy."
"Deep Blue."
"Swoosh."
The Modifier once again appeared before Lu Sheng's eyes. It was already filled with a large number of martial arts and secret arts. From top to bottom, there were at least dozens of them. The entire frame was almost filled.
Lu Sheng quickly found the Devil Heart Dao column.
'Devil Heart Dao only needs to wait for it to hatch now. I don't need Mental Energy.' He pondered.
'Come to think of it, the highest tier of the Prime Devil Sect's Prime Devil Secret Art is actually created by imitating Devils. That's why when I cultivate it to the extreme, I'll have the characteristics of Devils. Just like the Prime Devil power I absorbed when I killed Fang Tan. '
Thinking of the Prime Devil power he absorbed, Lu Sheng's heart skipped a beat.
'In fact, if I look at it from another perspective, isn't the so-called Prime Devil Secret Art also a different kind of cultivation martial path? It's just that this Prime Devil Secret Art is an imitation of Devils developed by the Prime Devil Sect. It's specially made for Noblemen with extremely weak bloodlines to cultivate. With extremely weak bloodlines, aren't they no different from ordinary people? 'Lu Sheng's thoughts raced. 'If I view it as a martial path …'
Lu Sheng stood up straight and grabbed at his surroundings with both hands.
"Buzz …"
With a muffled sound, the stone walls around the entire cave suddenly shattered and fell. Large chunks of rock fell from the walls and turned into gravel.
Then, an invisible blood web spread out from Lu Sheng's body, pushing all the gravel out of the cave.
In just a few breaths, the entire cave had expanded considerably.
Lu Sheng looked around and nodded in satisfaction.
He looked at the Modifier interface again and found the Devil Heart Dao column.
'Mental Energy can only be used after mastering Devil Heart Dao. Devil Heart Dao is incubated by absorbing Prime Devil Qi from the River of Poisoned Fog. Theoretically, the more Devil Qi my body can store, the stronger the Yin Devil I can incubate. I didn't think of this before. Now, let me test it out … '
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes, and his body rapidly expanded.
From an ordinary body of more than a meter, he rapidly transformed into a normal form of more than three meters.
"Hmm …" He stretched his body. Constantly contracting his entire body was a form of damage to his bones and muscles. If not for the recovery of Aquarius Qi, he would not have been able to maintain Yin Extreme Mode for long.
'This strength … isn't enough.' Lu Sheng swayed his body and swung his thick, long tail a few times, hitting the wall with a dull thud.
'Again.'
"Hoo …"
He let out a long breath. His muscles swelled and darkened again. Layers of thicker greenish-black leather armor covered his entire body, and a new pair of thick horns protruded from his forehead. A total of two pairs of horns descended to protect his head.
The muscles on his back bulged, spreading outwards like wings. His chest grew a grayish-white bone that looked like plate armor.
Lu Sheng touched his mouth. His fangs had become denser and thinner, and a new row of smaller teeth grew inside his mouth.
'My body has changed again … an extra row of teeth … what's the use? Do I have to bite people with these teeth? '
He also felt that the cave was a little cramped. Fortunately, he had expanded the cave to more than six meters in size.
'My body seems to be growing taller. Last time, it was only about five meters. 'Lu Sheng estimated that it was almost six meters now. Looking at the things he had placed on the ground before, they all felt much smaller.
This was Yang Extreme Mode, and also the strongest form of his body. His defense was not bad, but his speed was hindered by his large size, and the increase in speed was minimal.
'This form has the largest capacity. It's just right.' Having not transformed into this form for a long time, Lu Sheng moved his body slightly to get used to his muscles and bones.
After a few breaths, he slowly walked out of the cave and looked down at the black river in the stone forest. He leaped.
"Splash!"
Water splashed everywhere. Even with the Bright Void Earth Stomp Technique, Lu Sheng could not reduce the force of the impact. His body was so big that when he crashed into the water, the water from the River of Poisoned Fog submerged almost half of the stone forest.
Fortunately, this place was very far from the Prime Devil Sect's encampment, and sound could not easily travel there.
Standing firmly, Lu Sheng took a deep breath, activated the Devil Heart Dao, and began to absorb Devil Qi.
"Szzz …"
Large amounts of black river water and poisonous fog were rapidly absorbed into his body. From afar, he looked like a giant monster more than five meters tall standing in the river, breathing out clouds of smoke.
The river water of the River of Poisoned Fog flowed faster and faster, gradually forming a black whirlpool. With Lu Sheng as the center, the whirlpool spun clockwise around him. Countless streams of river water were absorbed by his huge body like a sponge.
Large amounts of Prime Devil power were converted and stored in his body, nourishing the last two unhatched hearts.
But even so, Lu Sheng still felt somewhat dissatisfied.
"Hoo …"
He took a deep breath, and the blood web spread out. Large amounts of black river water rose into the air, pouring into his mouth from all directions.
For a moment, the entire River of Poisoned Fog began to tremble slightly. Countless streams of river water were replenished from other branches, and then continued to be swallowed by Lu Sheng.
Large amounts of water vapor rose from his body. This was the essence of the River of Poisoned Fog after being swallowed.
"Bam!"
Lu Sheng suddenly took a step forward, and walked towards the direction where the river water came from the most.
With heavy footsteps, he passed through the stone forest and came to a cave wall.
There were many holes at the bottom of the cave wall, like a beehive, from which the River of Poisoned Fog flowed.
Lu Sheng stretched out his hand and smashed it forward.
"Poof."
The entire stone wall was instantly cut open like tofu, forming a large hole big enough for him to walk through.
Walking through this large hole, there was a small, pitch-black lake that emitted wisps of cold air. The lake was filled with pitch-black water from the River of Poisoned Fog.
Lu Sheng quickly walked into the lake, and soon only his head, mouth, and nose were exposed.
In the dark lake, several giant black snakes with purple spikes on their backs slithered out of the water, and pounced towards Lu Sheng with malicious intent.
"Bam!!"
Before one of the snakes could get close, Lu Sheng grabbed it and lifted it out of the water.
He grabbed the seven-meter-long giant snake with a single hand, and with a light squeeze, it exploded in two from the middle.
Black blood splashed into the lake, and the other giant snakes hurriedly ran away, not daring to come any closer.
Lu Sheng casually tossed the giant snake aside, and walked to the center of the lake.
"Hiss …"
He once again began to devour the River of Poisoned Fog with all his might.
A new giant whirlpool appeared in the center of the lake, and large amounts of river water flowed endlessly into his body.
But even so, Lu Sheng still felt that it was too slow.
"This speed … is simply not enough!!" He looked around, and suddenly let out a low roar. The blood web shook open again, and countless streams of river water were swept up, and poured madly into his mouth.
"Slow, slow!! Too slow! Too slow!! "
Lu Sheng's body suddenly swelled up, and he smashed down with both arms.
"Hum!!!"
There was no loud sound, but all the water in the lake trembled, and large waves splashed up. The blood web spun rapidly, sweeping up the waves as it spun faster and faster.
As it sped up, large amounts of the river water formed the shape of a tornado, and was sucked into Lu Sheng's mouth.
For a moment, the entire River of Poisoned Fog began to shake.
…
On the stone wall of the cave.
A few disciples who were walking on the square suddenly felt the ground tremble slightly. They all turned to look in the direction of the tremors, all of them shocked and uncertain.
Liu Shanzi quickly walked out of the cave, and looked into the distance. His brows were tightly furrowed, and his expression was just as shocked.
"Such tremors, is it coming from the depths of the River of Poisoned Fog? Could it be that the high tide this time is even greater? "
The River of Poisoned Fog was so toxic that even he did not dare to get too close. Normally, absorbing a few drops of the river water was already good enough. Even he could not reach the deepest part of the River of Poisoned Fog, where the founding master of the sect had once cultivated.
So now, he could only guess what had happened.
"I hope nothing big happened …" Liu Shanzi's expression was solemn, and he prayed in his heart.
