C997 Demon Infant(2)
C997 Demon Infant(2)
His dark skin was like iron, tough and soft. It was shiny, with two protruding eyebrows, but there was not even an eyebrow. His nose bridge was like a hanging gallbladder, and his fleshy mouth opened and closed. It seemed to be breathing, and it looked no different than a black dot and a normal baby.
However, when he opened his eyes, everything changed. What kind of eyes were those?
The long and narrow Ru Yue had no white eyes. Her black pupils were like two bottomless abysses. They flickered with coldness, evil, demonic, and cruel light. She seemed to be smiling, but her smile was extremely strange. No matter who it was that took a look at her... They would be terrified and their hair would stand on end.
Chiang Zhan shivered, and all the hairs on his body stood up. He had once roamed the Righteous Devil Battlefield and had seen countless Devil Dao Expert. Including the War King elder and the two overlords, no one's eyes had ever made him feel such fear.
If that was all, Chiang Zhan wouldn't be so shocked. What truly terrified him was... The evil Devil Infant had absorbed the energy contained in the devil Qi without showing any signs of stopping. Instead, he was crazily devouring the energy in Chiang Zhan's body.
* Hong! *
Like a flood breaking through a dam, the boundless energy in Chiang Zhan's body swept out uncontrollably. Following which, Devil Infant was like a ferocious beast that had starved for thousands of years, devouring a tiger and a whale. Scoundrel! Without any fear, he absorbed all the energy. He was like a little grass in spring that was nourished by rain. He grew rapidly.
Chiang Zhan even discovered that the thick soul power in his mind was constantly weakening. It was also being devoured by Devil Infant, causing his mind to become weaker and weaker, and everything in front of him became dark.
Chiang Zhan had always used the Heaven Devouring Devil Arts, which was a top heaven-grade divine skill that was far more powerful than the Ancient Devil's inheritance. Chiang Zhan had always devoured other people's power. He had never been devoured by someone else, and today, he had encountered such a dangerous situation. All of his energy and soul power had become the nourishment of that evil Devil Infant.
It seemed like a moment, but it also felt like several hundred years had passed.
Chiang Zhan had fallen into a hopeless situation. All of his energy had been exhausted, and his enormous soul power had disappeared. If he continued to be devoured like this, he was afraid that his cultivation base would fall, and his soul would also turn into ashes.
The shadow of death quietly shrouded his heart.
Swoosh!
Right at this moment, something unexpected happened. Devil Infant had absorbed an endless amount of energy and soul power. Suddenly, he somersaulted and escaped from the Devil King's corpse.
Chiang Zhan's facial expression changed. His eyes were cold and filled with killing intent. Although he had lost all his strength, he could still use the Asura Palace to kill this Devil Infant at any time. However, before he could do anything, the strange Devil Infant opened his mouth and uttered a series of mysterious syllables.
"Wah, wah, wah..."
It sounded like a song but not a song. It sounded like a curse but not a curse. It sounded ethereal and intermittent. It sounded like it came from the underworld, but also seemed to be transmitted from the Nine Heavens Peak. Although Chiang Zhan had never heard such a voice before, he didn't know what language it was. However, he had miraculously understood the meaning behind it.
The Prime Devil Embryo Art used the heart demon as the embryo, absorbing thousands of devil thoughts to nurture Devil Infant. Once he was born, the devil within the devil, Myriad Devil Sovereign, would be controlled by all devil thoughts.
The Eternal Night Saber Art, the night had fallen and the sun and moon had lost their light. Only darkness could last forever. When the saber was unleashed, it would let people immerse themselves in the darkness before dawn, enjoying the fear before death.
The strange sound that Devil Infant made was actually two devil techniques, the Prime Devil Embryo Technique. The Eternal Night Saber Technique. Chiang Zhan carefully listened to the strange demonic sound. He thought about it again and again. For now, he would remember it in the depths of his soul. When he had time in the future, he would study it in detail.
What he wanted to know the most right now was what this Devil Infant was. He had clearly never heard this strange sound before. However, he could understand the meaning of every note, as if they were connected in their hearts. Could it be that the bloodline connection was because Devil Infant had devoured his power and soul power?
Apart from that, Devil Infant had also taught Chiang Zhan the two Devil Dao Divine Arts. It seemed like he had no ill intentions, but he didn't dare to let his guard down when it came to the unknown product of the Devil King's corpse.
"Hei Wu, Hei Wu..."
Devil Infant blinked his eyes. His tone suddenly changed, like a child acting spoiled, he let out a childish voice.
"So that's how it is!"
As expected, Chiang Zhan once again understood Devil Infant's strange voice. Suddenly, he came to a realization. It turned out to be the corpse of the king that had given birth to Devil Infant. It was a Sect Leader from the Heavenly Devil Sect called the Prime Devil Lord. This man had used up all his effort to create two top heaven realm skills. It was the Primitive Demon Fetal Art and the Eternal Night Saber Art.
It was precisely because he cultivated the Prime Devil Embryo Art that the Prime Devil Lord used his inner demon as the embryo, absorbing endless demonic thoughts, and giving birth to a devil fetus. Unfortunately, the devil fetus had just taken shape when the Prime Devil Lord died under the King Slayer Saber.
Over the past 10,000 years, the devil fetus had parasitized within the body of the Prime Devil Lord. It relied on the energy contained in its flesh and blood to barely maintain its life, but it was also in a half-dead state. If it wasn't for Chiang Zhan refining the devil fetus today and providing sufficient energy and soul power, the devil fetus wouldn't have appeared out of thin air.
There was no other reason. The devil fetus was extremely similar to a martial artist's Divine Pill, but it needed to give birth to a Wisdom before it could transform into Devil Infant, a Dharma Idol, and live independently.
The Primitive Demon Monarch had given birth to the devil fetus, but unfortunately, it had died and its Dao dissipated. And by chance, Chiang Zhan had provided the Demon Embryo with sufficient energy and soul power. The former allowed the devil fetus to become stronger, while the latter allowed the devil fetus to give birth to Wisdom. It had become Devil Infant, who had a life of his own.
Of course, what Devil Infant said was very simple. Most of the content was something that Chiang Zhan had figured out himself.
