The Eagle of Disgust was much stronger than the seven Yin Demons from before, and it was also much bigger. Its wings were seven to eight meters long when spread out.
But the bigger this thing was, the stinkier it was.
It was so stinky that even Lu Sheng could not stand it. He put it away decisively. Then, he fanned the cave with the blood web. It took him a while to catch his breath.
'Even I can't stand the stench, let alone the others. If this thing is used well, it'll be a great weapon. 'Lu Sheng exhaled. Even he could not stand the stench after being suffocated twice in a row. He felt like he was about to throw up yesterday's meal.
But from another perspective, if his body could not stand it now, the others would probably faint from the stench.
'There's still the last Devil Will heart.' With a thought, he looked at the other black heart floating on the side.
Unlike other hearts, the surface of this heart was densely packed with small holes. Upon closer inspection, there were many black maggots crawling in and out of the holes.
'So it's hatched long ago … Maggots of Despair …' Lu Sheng finally understood. But these maggots were too small, and their auras were concealed. He did not notice them a few times.
'Maggots of Despair. Their ability is to eat corpses. Eating corpses can greatly speed up the body's recovery.' Lu Sheng sensed their ability, and his face darkened.
'What use do I have for this damned ability to eat corpses!' He shattered the heart of the maggots of despair in front of him with a slap. It turned into Prime Devil Qi and returned to his body.
'But fortunately, I've finally gathered all nine Devil Wills. Now it's time to condense the final Devil Heart. After laying the foundation of the Devil Heart Dao for the Phantom Listening Skill, I only need to cultivate the Prime Devil Secret Art, Phantom Listening Skill, to condense the Phantom Listening Devil Body. '
The Phantom Listening Devil Body was one of the Prime Devil Sect's Ten Arts and Nine Wills. It ranked tenth among the nineteen Devil Bodies. Its most notable characteristic was that the Devil Essence in the body was the most abundant among all the Devil Bodies.
This was also the reason why the Phantom Listening Skill could be passed down. Compared to other Devil Bodies, its storage capacity and recovery speed of Prime Devil Qi were several times that of other Devil Bodies.
Moreover, this Devil Body had a variety of abilities and was the fastest to adapt to changes in battle. That was why it could be passed down.
Lu Sheng thought to himself that he had condensed nine great Devilish Will Hearts. Compared to the Devilish Heart Dao Patriarch, who had the highest record in history, he had one more Devilish Will Heart. Perhaps even the founder of the Phantom Listening Skill could not imagine what kind of level the final Demon Heart that was formed in this way could reach.
"Let's begin …" He took a deep breath. This was his habit every time he was about to make an important move. This way, he could relieve the pressure in his heart and calm his mental state.
Hu … hu … hu …
Streaks of black gas shot out from his body and turned into pocket-sized Yin Demons.
The Snake of Envy, the Lion of Rage, the Shadow of Madness, the Deer of Impatience, the Hound of Fear, the Sheep of Loneliness, the Ox of Pain, the Eagle of Disgust, and the Maggot of Despair.
Nine different kinds of Yin Demons circled around him and flew slowly. Each Yin Demon gave off a faint blue glow.
Lu Sheng followed the records of the Devil Heart Path and visualized the secret technique diagram in the book. He controlled all the Yin Demons to revolve around him according to different trajectories.
As the speed of their revolutions gradually increased, the Prime Devil Qi in Lu Sheng's body was also drawn out, forming a flock that spread towards the nine great Yin Demons.
Time passed bit by bit …
After who knew how long.
"Boom!!"
All of a sudden, all the Devilish Will Hearts were enveloped by the black Prime Devil Qi, expanding and contracting as they were pulled onto Lu Sheng's body.
"Thump!!"
All the Devil Qi condensed and formed an enormous illusory heart. This heart completely enveloped Lu Sheng, who was almost six meters tall, and beat slowly.
"It's done!"
Lu Sheng slowly observed his surroundings. This illusory heart that enveloped him did not seem to be a physical entity, but some kind of shadow-like existence.
In this state, he could feel that the Prime Devil Qi in his body seemed to be endless, surging and boiling wildly. Much of the water from the River of Poisoned Fog that he had eaten was still in Lu Sheng's stomach. Now, it was being converted into new Prime Devil Qi at a crazy rate.
And the original Prime Devil Qi continued to be compressed, becoming more and more viscous in Lu Sheng's body.
"The conversion speed is also five to six times faster than before. The total amount of Prime Devil Qi hasn't changed, but the activity of a unit of Prime Devil Qi has increased. The more active it is, the less energy is consumed when using the secret art of Prime Devil Qi activation. Looks like this is the true reason why the Phantom Listening Devil Body is number one in Devil Essence. "Lu Sheng analyzed the reason.
This enormous illusory heart was the final Devil Heart condensed by Devil Heart Dao.
According to the records, Devil Heart Dao provided several times more Prime Devil Qi than other similar secret arts. After condensing the final Devil Heart, one could recover two to five times faster than before.
"And mine …" With a thought, Lu Sheng summoned the Lion of Rage and stood in front of him.
"Bam!"
He smashed the Lion of Rage with a slap.
The poisonous flames and tough fur on its body were of no use at all.
Just as Lu Sheng smashed the Lion of Rage, the black lion roared and appeared again from its black smoke state.
"This … this is rebirth?!" Lu Sheng was stunned. He had never heard of this ability being recorded by other Devil Heart Dao cultivators.
He had originally planned to smash the Lion of Rage to consume Prime Devil Qi and test his Prime Devil Qi recovery speed.
But what happened before his eyes surprised him.
"Could this be the benefit of condensing the nine Devil Will hearts and forming the final Devil Heart?"
"Let's try again."
"Puff!"
He smashed the Lion of Rage again.
"It feels a little harder than before. Can it become stronger after dying once?" Lu Sheng was surprised.
This time, the lion did not reappear. Obviously, there was only one chance for rebirth. But the Yin Devil essence of the Lion of Rage kept roaring angrily in Lu Sheng's body.
It was formed from Lu Sheng's distracting thoughts, and its actions were not under his control. At most, it would simply release and retract it. Or it would be affected when the Devil Heart Dao cultivation method underwent a stage change.
Now that it was smashed for no reason, it was naturally even more furious.
"The nine Yin Devils have their own will. Once released, they're no longer under my control. I have to use them carefully to avoid accidental injury, "Lu Sheng concluded in his mind.
Yin Devils needed time to slowly recover after being destroyed. According to the records of Devil Heart Dao, it usually took half a month before condensing the final Devil Heart, and seven days after.
But now, Lu Sheng felt that with the endless supply of Prime Devil Qi in his body, the Lion of Rage would probably only need a day to be able to use it again.
"Impressive!" He was secretly delighted. This was equivalent to being able to repeatedly use Yin Devils multiple times in a very short period of time.
He did not think much of the independent combat ability of Yin Devils. In fact, the entire Phantom Listener lineage did not think much of it either. What they valued was the complete amplification of the Phantom Listener Devil Body after being possessed by Yin Devils.
The various Yin Devils that originally only had ordinary weakening abilities would all possess the cultivator's body under the cover of the final Devil Heart.
Thus, all sorts of abilities would undergo a qualitative change, and the amplification would be greatly enhanced. This was the true use of Yin Devils.
"Now, it's time to test the power of the remnant trace of this Holy Weapon … Perhaps I'll be able to see the difference between the level of Source and ordinary Origin Power now."
Lu Sheng finally turned his gaze to the jade box on the ground.
His body slowly began to change. From a height of nearly six meters, it rapidly shrank, and stopped when it reached a height of more than two meters.
His limbs rapidly shrunk and became slender, and the horns on his head grew longer and longer, faintly curving backwards. The surface of his skin was covered with a layer of pitch-black, mirror-like armor.
The originally thick and large tail also rapidly shrunk and condensed, becoming symmetrical and slender, as light as a whip.
His elbows, knees, shoulders, and back were all covered with sharp spikes, as if his entire body was covered in spikes. A normal person could be cut just by touching them.
"Clang."
Lu Sheng clenched his fists. The skin on his palms collided, emitting a crisp sound of metal clashing.
"Alright, Yin and Yang as One. This is my strongest state right now. Let's try the remnant trace of the Holy Weapon. "
The white ash left behind by this trace was a mark left behind by the power of Source. After such a long time, it was more than twice as weak as when he had first discovered it in the alliance conclave. Moreover, it was still weakening at an accelerated rate.
Lu Sheng guessed that he should be able to withstand the radiation of this white ash now.
He walked up to the jade box and reached out. With fingertips as sharp as knives, he gently pried open the lid of the box.
"Clack."
The lid hit the stone wall behind with a crisp sound.
Some fine white ash lay quietly in the box. Upon closer inspection, it was much less than the amount that Lu Sheng had scraped off previously.
"This is it … this is it."
Lu Sheng carefully reached out with his finger and touched the white ash.
"Szzz …"
The moment he touched it, Lu Sheng felt a sharp pain in his finger. Large amounts of the shell began to melt and soften before the white ash.
He made a prompt decision. His liquefied inner Qi burned rapidly.
"Whoosh!"
An invisible flame ignited on Lu Sheng's right palm. It was a strange phenomenon caused by the rapid burning of Ultimate Crimson Nine Furies Skill.
After the invisible flame ignited, the corrosion of the white ash seemed to be slightly hindered. However, this hindrance was almost negligible.
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes. Looking at his rapidly melting index finger, he had a thought.
Immediately, various shadows of Yin Devils appeared behind him.
Starting from the Snake of Jealousy and ending with the Maggot of Despair, all nine Yin Devils appeared in a flash. Then, they transformed into shadows and entered his body.
"Szzz …"
With the entry of the Yin Devils, strange and complicated patterns gradually appeared on Lu Sheng's mirror-like shell.
The nine Yin Devils transformed into different patterns and appeared on his body.
Hands, feet, face, neck, chest, back. The strange patterns added a sense of coldness and mystery to the entire armor.
"This is the Phantom Listening Devil Physique?" Lu Sheng felt his five senses magnified. His limbs became lighter. The nine different abilities felt like they had been in his hands for many years, and could be easily activated at any time.
"Apart from the nine abilities, my strength has increased by more than four times. My movement speed and recovery abilities have also been enhanced. The extent is about eighty percent of my normal state. My sense of smell has been enhanced. My body is more agile. Also, Prime Devil Qi seems endless … what's the principle behind this? "
Lu Sheng frowned.
Energy was conserved. Even if he came to this world and encountered all kinds of things, they all followed this law.
But now, the Phantom Listening Devil Physique seemed to have an endless supply of Devil Qi. After a single use, it would be fully replenished.
Also, this Phantom Listening Devil Physique was surrounded by wisps of strange whispers, as well as pitch-black poisonous flames that would occasionally appear and disappear.
Lu Sheng thought for a moment, then reached out and grabbed at the stone wall in front of him.
"BOOM!!!"
A huge ball of black poisonous fire exploded, blasting a huge hole in the stone wall.
"The Lion of Rage's poisonous fire is even stronger than the power of Ultimate Crimson Nine Furies Skill … not bad. My overall strength has increased by quite a bit. This Phantom Listening Devil Physique is extremely suitable for group battles. It's also very adaptable to various environments. "
