Chapter 229: Chapter 205: Eight-Headed Heavenly Pass Blood Sacrifice Pagoda (Requesting Monthly Ticket)

Inside the Mud Ball, clouds rolled tumultuously as several clusters of Spirit Light fell from the sky, crashing onto the surface of the cloud sea and stirring up ripples.

Several demon essences manifested awkwardly within this world of the Mud Ball, scrambling to their feet.

Night Fox, Ear Rat, Feiyi, Lu Shu......

In total, there were eight Demons of the Heavenly Pass.

All were the spoils of war from Chen Yuan’s previous battles.

Originally there were nine, but one Zheng had been refined by him using the Demon Transformation to seize the Divine Skills of the nascent Commander’s Platform. In the end, all were assimilated into the Tao Fruit.

At this moment, the eight Demon Essences displayed various emotions—some were panicky and unsettled, some fierce and unwilling, some filled with hatred....

Not far ahead of them, a nine-storied pagoda bobbed in the cloud sea, a dangerous aura swirling within.

"Where is this?"

"What is that tower?"

"Damn Human Clan, they devoured us into this, what trick are they playing?"

"Fools, retreat, that’s the Tao Fruit."

The eight demons clamored until one Feiyi changed color, fluttered its wings frantically, but its Divine Soul was tightly wound by golden chains, and with a snap, it fell back down.

"How is it possible, that damned human actually achieved the Tao Fruit?"

One Ear Rat shrieked piercingly.

However, then a voice exploded in their ears.

"Correct, thanks to your blessings, I, Chen Yuan, have luckily made a breakthrough."

A light chuckle followed, and immediately after, Chen Yuan’s Divine Soul appeared, landing in front of the nine fierce demons with the corners of his mouth curled up.

As he appeared, the beastly eyes of the two Lu Shu demons glinted fiercely.

Then, promptly,

"Pfft"

"Pfft"

Two muffled sounds.

Prohibitions on the two demons’ essences flashed wildly, several golden chains burst, and their previously eight or nine feet tall spirits suddenly expanded in momentum, inflating massively, and with the swiftness of lightning, they lunged towards Chen Yuan’s Divine Soul, their bloody red and forest green Demon Eyes seething with brutality and savageness, emitting a grating sound of intense hatred:

"Daring to reveal your Divine Soul, we’ll devour you."

The reason these two demons managed to break free from Chen Yuan’s prohibitions was that they possessed Innate Divine Abilities capable of breaking the seals.

Previously, after their physical bodies were destroyed and their essences captured by the sleeves of the Ninth Mountain’s Colonel, they intended to use this Divine Ability to escape, only to find that place strange, suppressing their Divine Skills.

Now, presented with a golden opportunity, they erupted into action.

But in the very next second,

"Slap"

"Slap"

Within the cloud sea, two clouds surged, transforming into two giant palms, slapping towards the two beasts, directly sending the two demons flying.

Chen Yuan was naturally vigilant and prepared for everything.

Subsequently, the giant palms continued to violently pound the two demons, eliciting their piteous and shrill cries.

"Ninth Mountain’s Colonel, my Lu Shu clan will never let you off, including your relatives, friends, all of them will die."

"You have killed so many of my Six Mountains’ kin; the Six Mountains’ clan elders will surely hunt you to the ends of the earth,"

Unmoved, Chen Yuan’s eyes slowly curled up with a sinister arc, and with a flick of his sleeve, he completely removed the prohibitions on the two demons.

The two Lu Shu demons’ Demonic Qi surged forth, their bodies expanding rapidly, their gaze filled with shock and doubt.

But then Chen Yuan bared his white teeth, grinning menacingly: "I was actually worried the Six Mountains wouldn’t come. It’s perfect for sacrificing to refine my Tao Fruit, let’s start with you two!"

With that, he raised his hand.

"Boom"

The entire cloud sea shook violently, and then the Green Gold Glaze Tower burst forth from the center of the cloud sea with a surging and unrivaled ferocity, flying towards the two Lu Shu essences.

"Whoosh"

"Zing"

"Zing"

The tranquil carvings on the fourth layer of the Pagoda suddenly lit up with streaks of Spirit Light one after another with resounding clangs.

Subsequently, the carvings came to life. One by one, Fierce Demons, as if drilling out from the body of the tower, bared their fangs and brandished their claws, emitting terrifying roars.

Then, from the golden glistening plaque on the pagoda’s gate, two beams of golden light shot out abruptly, transforming into two Golden Whips.

With a loud "crack" that split the air, they lashed out directly at two Lu Shu Demons.

Startled by the roaring horde of demons on the pagoda, the two Lu Shu cowered in fear. Seeing the Golden Whip closing in, they let out a horrified cry and a surge of Demonic Qi shot up into the sky.

"Crack"

"Crack"

The two Golden Whips struck the two beasts down and furiously lashed them, quickly scattering the black Demonic Qi and then striking the beasts themselves.

Shrill howls erupted from the two beasts as their Divine Souls, manifested in their true forms, shrank under the lashings, each whip mark like flowing magma.

Next, the Pagoda descended from the sky, a huge shadow enveloping them, emanating a tremendous suction force that sucked in the two Demons.

The beasts struggled fiercely, only to find with terror that the eyes on the carvings – some blood-red, some chilling – were staring fixedly at them. Like a fierce surge, from those carvings emerged streams of Demonic Qi, with claws reaching out.

Some grasped the head, others the feet, and yet others the tail...

"Slit"

Two abrupt tearing sounds rang out.

Their Divine Souls were seen torn asunder by the throng of demons, subsequently devoured by the carvings.

As if nourished, the entire Pagoda quivered slightly, its Spirit Light intensifying further. Then, from the carvings that had consumed fragments of the Demon Essence, plumes of white vapor spewed out, streaming towards the sea of clouds, while on the fourth layer, two new carvings emerged.

The remnants of the two Fierce Lu Shu were trapped and became part of the Green Gold Glaze Pagoda, adding to the power of the Pagoda.

Meanwhile, Chen Yuan’s consciousness trembled, and his Luck Points increased by over two hundred.

Chen Yuan could keenly perceive these changes, feeling invigorated as his eyes instantly blazed with light.

Killing a Demon not only yielded Luck Points but also enhanced the Pagoda’s power and in turn nourished the Tao Mechanism.

The white mist exhaled by the carvings, as was the entire sea of clouds, contained the Tao Mechanism.

One Demon, thrice the joy.

As for the power of the Pagoda, it hadn’t been fully tested yet— the Essence of the two Lu Shu was far too weak...

With that thought, Chen Yuan’s gaze shifted to the remaining six Demons.

The six Demons, feeling Chen Yuan’s gaze sweep over them, felt a chill run through them, haunted by the fate of their two compatriots just moments ago.

The wild dance of demons on the Pagoda sent shivers down their spines.

In their eyes, this Ninth Mountain’s Colonel was simply an Evil Ghost.

"Evil Ghost" now smiled at them, "All of you, come forth!"

Saying this, the Prohibition was lifted, and the six Demons’ aura surged.

The Pagoda above the sea of clouds roared and flew towards the six Demons.

.........

Dozens of breaths later, within the Mud Ball World, a scream pierced the void.

Two beasts were shattered directly by the Pagoda.

Afterward, the realm fell silent.

In the distance, with a single beckoning gesture from Chen Yuan, the Pagoda quaked in the sea of clouds and flew straight towards him.

It whirled fluidly, shrinking as it did so, until it transformed into an exquisite three-foot tall Glaze Miniature Pagoda that landed in the palm of Chen Yuan’s hand.

Having refined the Essence of eight Taoist Soldier Realm Demons, Chen Yuan keenly felt the Pagoda become somewhat heavier in his hand, and his earlier test had only revealed two or three tenths of its true power.

The Pagoda had accumulated a myriad of abilities—mountainous forms, seals, Devouring Demon, Demon-Locking, Sword Qi, and the skill to Condense Tao Qi.

What excited Chen Yuan the most was that this tower could carve hundreds of Demons into carvings upon killing them, making them serve his own purposes.

As long as he killed more Demons, he would only grow continually stronger, the increase being exponentially magnified.

Moreover, he still had another channel to exploit.

Thinking this, a glint flashed across his eyes as he called up his current information.
