Chapter 370: Frenzied breakthrough, demonic power comparable to the Eighth Realm

At the moment the Nine Tribulations Lock Demon Formation was activated.

Gu Yao immediately noticed.

Her expression changed involuntarily.

At this moment, she didn't even have time to care about being defiled by Lu Xun.

Instead, she mobilized all her demonic power, trying to destroy the Nine Tribulations Lock Demon Formation inside her.

But Lu Xun had long been prepared; besides the Nine Tribulations Lock Demon Formation, he had already placed a large number of seals inside Gu Yao's body.

These were set up when Ran Bing still held the dominant position.

Since Ran Bing offered no resistance, these seals were placed very secretly and thoroughly.

Now they came into use.

As soon as the seals took effect, the demonic power in Gu Yao's body was instantly sealed.

Even so, she could still vibrate her demonic power to disrupt the formation's patterns.

If the Nine Tribulations Lock Demon Formation had not been successfully formed, Gu Yao could have destroyed all its patterns.

Now, the Nine Tribulations Lock Demon Formation has already been activated, forming a complete formation.

After her demonic power was sealed, Gu Yao could no longer break the Nine Tribulations Lock Demon Formation merely by vibrating her demonic power.

Next, as long as her will is sealed by the Nine Tribulations Lock Demon Formation, Ran Bing can, with the aid of the formation, gradually take dominance and merge the will of her previous life.

Everything from her past life will become part of her memory.

Rather than like the father of Fu Yue and Fu Xue, where everything in this life becomes the present-life memory of the past will.

So, after Gu Yao sensed the abnormality, a hint of panic immediately appeared on her lovely face.

With a thought, a mysterious seal suddenly lit up deep in her soul.

That seal was black as ink, its surface flowing with ancient patterns, as if bearing the vicissitudes of ten thousand reincarnations.

In an instant, vast demonic power surged forth from the seal like a bursting dam, raising towering waves in her meridians.

This is her reincarnation seal, or rather, her true spirit seal.

It was formed before her reincarnation, after she paid a great price.

This seal can preserve her true spirit, thereby completing her reincarnation.

Moreover, Gu Yao hid a large amount of demonic power within it, to increase her strength after reincarnation.

These demonic powers, as Gu Yao's memories recover, can be continuously absorbed by her.

Thanks to this reincarnation seal, she could become a demon king within three years after her memories awaken.

You should know that ordinary cultivators usually reach the Six Realms only in their thirties.

This is still because Gu Yao deliberately controlled the speed, to avoid abnormalities or being noticed.

Now, she can't worry about all that.

She intends to use these demonic powers to forcibly break through the seals Lu Xun placed inside Ran Bing's body, and then destroy the Nine Tribulations Lock Demon Formation in one fell swoop.

As she draws on it, demonic power continuously streams from the reincarnation seal into her body.

These demonic powers are actually stratified.

They range from the First Realm to the Tenth Realm.

This allows Gu Yao, after completing her reincarnation, to skip the demon clan's cultivation aspect.

She only needs to complete the human side of cultivation.

However, she faces a most critical problem.

It is that, before gaining the initiative, she has not allowed the fusion of the demon bloodline hidden in the reincarnation seal.

Without the demon bloodline, Gu Yao cannot draw too much or too high-level demonic power, otherwise Ran Bing's body could not withstand it, and it might also be detected as abnormal by the outside world.

But now, using this demonic power to break the seals and destroy the Nine Tribulations Lock Demon Formation will cause no problem.

"Still want to struggle?"

Lu Xun noticed Gu Yao's movement.

Her internal demonic power is rapidly rising.

The opponent is indeed an existence that could make the entire demon star red-eyed.

Her backup is indeed ample.

Lu Xun does not know by what means Gu Yao obtained this demonic power.

He also cannot detect the existence of the reincarnation seal within Gu Yao's body.

That is still too advanced for Lu Xun at present.

What Lu Xun can do now is:

First, strengthen the seals inside Gu Yao's body.

Second, disturb her.

There is only one way to disturb her.

That is to sound the charge horn and launch an active attack.

Indeed.

As soon as Lu Xun attacks, Gu Yao suffers interference.

Previously, although she had the initiative, it was under the effect of the Union Happiness Condensed Dew Pill, taking Lu Xun for a white snake.

Now,

she is in a fully sober state.

In her eyes, which are bewitching to the extreme, killing intent almost condenses into substance.

Yet such a gaze not only fails to inflict any harm on Lu Xun, but instead adds to his attack power.

Critical hit multiplier surges wildly.

Even so,

Gu Yao's demonic power kept flowing into her body, and her strength began to rise.

【Ran Bing's demon clan cultivation broke through the third level of the Six Realms, you gain sixty times Ran Bing's harvest.】

The return suddenly arrived.

Gu Yao's strength broke through to the third level of the Six Realms.

This is the demon clan's power.

Lu Xun also thereby obtained the return.

Inside his body, the return's heat flow emerged, surging into Lu Xun's demon core.

Since Lu Xun is human, not of the demon clan, the return brought by Gu Yao consists mainly of demonic power.

After the return's heat flow entered his body, Lu Xun's demon core began a new round of expansion.

Originally,

Lu Xun's demon core had a diameter of 20 centimeters.

Now its diameter rapidly increased from 20 centimeters to 21, 22, 23...

It grew by nearly one centimeter per minute.

You should know, for a sphere, the outward increase of one centimeter demands more as it grows larger.

Generally, upon reaching the Seventh Realm, each level up increases the demon core's diameter by only one or two centimeters.

Now Lu Xun's demon core diameter increases in an astonishing fashion.

Inside, the demonic power becomes extraordinarily vast.

【Ran Bing's demon clan cultivation broke through the fourth level of the Six Realms, you gain sixty times Ran Bing's harvest.】

This return heat flow hasn't been exhausted yet, and the second return from Ran Bing has arrived.

Strictly speaking, it is the return from Gu Yao.

Gu Yao and Ran Bing were originally one entity, so after Lu Xun bound Ran Bing, it was effectively the same as binding her.

Lu Xun's demon core began a new round of expansion.

【Ran Bing's demon clan cultivation broke through the fifth level of the Six Realms....】

This hasn't ended yet.

Gu Yao's demon clan cultivation continues to rise.

Even though Lu Xun kept assaulting her in this process, he still couldn't stop her strength from rising.

To break her internal seal and destroy the Nine Tribulations Demon-Sealing Formation, Gu Yao spared no cost.

After reaching the fifth level, it still did not stop.

Sixth level, seventh level, eighth level, ninth level...

In just over an hour, Gu Yao rose from the second level of the Six Realms straight to its peak.

If this were made public, who knows how many people would be shocked.

Cultivating each level of the Six Realms takes years.

Even with rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures, heavenly and earthly spiritual objects, to speed it up, it's impossible to accelerate it greatly.

Like Fu Yue and Fu Xue, they spent over ten years advancing from the Six Realms to the Seventh Realm.

But Gu Yao took only a little over an hour.

Although aided by the reincarnation mark, it's still unimaginably fast.

At this moment,

The entire 28th floor is filled with thick demonic power.

A pot of pothos, soaked in this demonic power, grew wildly and began to demonize.

On Lan Xing, because the heavenly and earthly laws differ, it is very difficult for plants to become demonic.

The 28th floor, sealed by Lu Xun with a seventh-grade formation layer by layer, cutting off heavenly secrets, is like its own world; when demonic power grows dense, it can cause some plants to undergo demonic transformation.

Ran Bing's body also underwent some changes.

At this point, if Ran Bing left this place, even if her will prevailed, people would still notice something abnormal.

This is why Gu Yao couldn't move so quickly before.

She feared being discovered by humans.

For her, as long as she could devour Ran Bing's will and make it part of her present-life memories, her cultivation would be easily resolved.

Such powerhouses, having experienced tens of thousands of years of growth, regard a mere few years as insignificant.

Having been reincarnated, they can naturally wait.

Hum~

At this moment, Gu Yao's body trembled.

After breaking through the peak of the Six Realms, she used the demonic power within the reincarnation mark to break through the Seventh Realm in one fell swoop.

This amounted to becoming a Great Demon King.

Doing so came at a great cost; she forsook pushing the Six Realms to their limit.

But later, as she grows, she can make up for it.

If she didn't do this, once the Nine Tribulations Demon-Sealing Formation runs for a long time, she would have no future.

After her demonic power broke through the Seventh Realm, Gu Yao's demonic power instantly reached an astonishing level.

The next second,

Her demonic power gave a violent jolt, forcibly breaking through the seal Lu Xun had set up.

These seals belong to the methods of Immortal Cultivation.

Martial cultivators are more skilled at hard-clash combat, but in these aspects they are not as good as Immortal Cultivation.

Lu Xun fell a bit behind in his Immortal Cultivation cultivation, failing to break through even the Fifth Boundary.

So,

Gu Yao, relying on the Reincarnation Mark, forcibly broke through Lu Xun's seal.

Just as she was about to destroy the Nine Tribulations Lock Demon Formation that had just been activated.

A stream of demonic power tens to hundreds of times purer than hers surged into her body, subduing her again.

Gu Yao's expression changed instantly; looking at Lu Xun, her eyes were full of disbelief.

Because this demonic power... comes from Lu Xun!

"You didn't expect that, did you?"

Lu Xun showed a smile.

Gu Yao's breakthrough so fast brought him huge gains.

The continuous return caused his demon core to swell wildly.

And when it grew to a certain extent, the demon core unexpectedly shrank again, with the demonic power inside further condensed.

This signifies that the demon core underwent a qualitative change.

The larger the volume, the greater the amount.

And when the amount remains unchanged, reducing the volume signifies a change in quality.

Lu Xun's original demonic power was equivalent to that of a Seventh Boundary Great Demon King.

Now, after this wave of return, Lu Xun's demonic power is not inferior to that of an Eighth Boundary Heavenly Demon King.

Even if this is merely that demonic power, it is enough to suppress the current Gu Yao.
