Chapter 428
Li Lao smiled and said, "Is that so? If you are willing to offer a reasonable price, you are quite easy to talk to and not the type to be unreasonable. Bring over everything on the list, and I will be willing to let the divine beast egg go. If you find it difficult, then we might as well continue the battle."
"As far as I know, the immunity within the divine beast egg is starting to weaken slowly. It will easily die in a few more days. I am giving you a well-intentioned reminder; I hope you won't be ungrateful."
The Demon God said angrily, "Are you threatening me? I cannot stand being threatened in this life. Let's perish together; the divine beast egg doesn't have that many uses anyway."
"It's fine, we can die together if you have the guts. The divine beast egg is of extraordinary significance to you, isn't it? If something really goes wrong, do you think the person behind you won't punish you? Obediently listen to me, and it will be good for everyone. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died."
Helpless, the Demon God agreed to the demands and prepared the trading supplies. When he took back the divine beast egg, his heart instantly felt much lighter.
The Demon race retreated, and the group returned to the Wuqu Academy. Li Lao said happily, "The plan is complete. That divine beast egg has been controlled by a seal mark, and it is linked to the entire Wuqu Academy's fortune."
"Unless the Wuqu Academy is destroyed, from now on, whatever hatches from that divine beast egg will have a close connection with us. I had to mobilize one-tenth of our fortune to control it."
"That divine beast egg's bloodline is terrifying. It seems the Demon race is playing a big game; we must pay more attention to the Demon race's movements in the future. Distribute these cultivation resources; I have no use for them."
Xing Tian, standing to the side, said with an incredulous face, "What? You actually spent one-tenth of our fortune? Is it that terrifying? The fortune accumulated by the Wuqu Academy over so many years is very rich, to be able to absorb one-tenth."
"It shows just how great the Demon race's ambition is. But fortunately, we weren't exposed, otherwise, it would be very troublesome later. Li Lao is calculating; using cultivation resources to distract them."
"By taking advantage of the Demon God's psychology, he surely won't carefully examine the divine beast egg after returning. This is a great opportunity; the ally will be slowly raised by the Demon race."
459: Well-Intentioned
The matter in the Demon Beast Forest allowed Chen Ang to put down a huge stone in his heart. What to do next is very troublesome; he must strive to improve his strength and strive to break through to the Sovereign Realm as soon as possible.
Xing Tian walked over and said, "Brat, you haven't fought with your Master for a long time. How about we spar and see if you've made any progress lately? Combat is the best way to grow."
Chen Ang quickly said, "Forget it, Master. My strength is quite strong among the same tier now, but compared to you, there is a certain gap. We have no advantage if we fight."
"Is that so? I don't believe it. After breaking through to the mid-stage of the Spirit God Realm, you are more than enough to face an average high-stage Spirit God Realm cultivator, and you even have the power to fight against a peak-stage one. Are you afraid to even fight your Master?"
"As a powerhouse, you must forge ahead. Your heart must never be chaotic. Pick up the weapon in your hand and fight your Master. Don't worry, it's the same old rule: keep your cultivation at the same level and see what a true powerhouse is."
Xing Tian took out a terrifying weapon, also a long spear. Chen Ang felt a thick blood-evil power from this weapon and couldn't help but suspect that his Master was definitely a veteran spear user. His previous claim that he wasn't very skilled with the spear was suspicious.
He exhorted, "This spear has followed me in battles in the Sin Prison for many years. I hope you can respond with all your might, brat. You've fought the Spear King; that kid's talent isn't bad, but compared to me, there is a gap. You must be careful."
The two began to fight. Chen Ang felt that his Master's attack methods were varied. He fell into a disadvantage at the very beginning, and every angle was extremely tricky, requiring a lot of effort to defend and block.
Chen Ang had no focus in his attacks, which instead gave others the greatest opportunity. Xing Tian was very angry and scolded, "When facing an enemy, you must never retreat. Where is the momentum of forging ahead that you had when fighting the Spear King?"
"The impulse to risk your life is what is needed most. Disciple, if you can't even do this, it won't work. You must find a way to break the shackles in your heart and fight with courage."
After speaking, the speed became faster and faster. A huge wound was cut on Chen Ang's left leg, and blood flowed out, but there was no sign of stopping.
Xing Tian knew that this kid had been too arrogant lately, thinking he could be unscrupulous after defeating a few geniuses. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Spear King didn't fight with full force during that battle. After all, it was a spar; a real battle would have to be in the Sin Prison.
He had to let his disciple understand that there is always someone better. After a few spear strikes, a lot of blood flowed out. For the first time, Chen Ang felt so fragile in the face of life.
He had a premonition that if his Master wanted to kill him, it would be in a single thought. The wounds on his body became more and more serious. Just as he was about to be on the verge of death, Xing Tian stopped.
He said, "You should have tasted the feeling of death, right? When the Spear King sparred with you, he didn't choose to fight in the true sense. This time is a lesson; go back and settle down."
After speaking, Xing Tian turned and left. Wan Wan Shitong hurriedly went over to help Chen Ang up. Seeing him on the verge of death, he fed him several specially made pills and took him back to rest.
He understood that this was a hurdle for his boss, which he had to overcome himself; no one else could help. As a brother, there was little he could do, but he hoped he could pull through. His mentality would definitely be affected.
Li Lao, who was watching the battle from afar, couldn't help but say to Xing Tian, "You are really willing, aren't you? He is your personal disciple. Doing this is easy to cause problems; it's completely not worth it."
"Hehe, it's precisely because he is my own disciple that I have to do this. Haven't you noticed that this brat has become more and more inflated lately? I must find a way to suppress his confidence."
"Especially these two actions in the Demon Beast Forest, it's obvious that Chen Ang is a bit impetuous. He is currently in a critical foundation period. What will he do when he advances to the Sovereign Realm or Emperor Realm in the future?"
"The higher the level, the more temptations and dangers there will be around him. This is just a good opportunity to knock him down a peg. If it were later, he might not necessarily listen."
"Sigh, since you say so, there's no other way. I don't want to say too much idle talk. Fortunately, you have a sense of proportion. If you really beat your disciple to death, I believe the Old Dean and Su Su Xian would never let you off. Be careful next time."
"Haha, at least I came out of the Sin Prison. I have a plan for being heavy-handed. I must wake up this precious disciple; otherwise, he won't be able to win in the future, and it will be very difficult to solve problems when he encounters them."
Chen Ang was hit quite hard. He originally thought he could go fifty-fifty with his Master at the same level. This battle shattered the pride in his heart, and he felt particularly uncomfortable.
Just at this moment, a figure appeared in his spiritual consciousness. It was his inner demon, who said, "Long time no see, old friend. I said we would meet again soon. You will never be able to get rid of me in this life."
"I will appear as negative emotions increase. I'm out again. Some people can't cut off their inner demons in their whole life. Even if their strength is high, there will be moments of anger, and this is the foothold for inner demons. Do you still want to see what happens next?"
Chen Ang said angrily, "No matter what you want to do today, I won't allow it. Get out quickly, or don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Haha, not bad, coward. When facing someone stronger than yourself, you are always timid, but when you meet someone weaker than yourself, you choose to strike hard. What kind of hero are you? What kind of good man are you? Just commit suicide obediently; living has no meaning."
The inner demon's words constantly stimulated Chen Ang. He was very angry now and wanted to kill the inner demon, but the inner demon could always dodge attacks constantly and was very flexible in his spiritual consciousness.
"Yes, that's it. Be angry. The angrier you are, the happier I am. Hahaha, it won't be long before the control of your body belongs to me. The moment you go into devilish deviation and become a walking corpse, you can do whatever you want."
Wan Wan Shitong saw that Chen Ang's condition was getting worse and worse, so he hurriedly called Master Xing Tian over. Xing Tian quickly said, "Wan Wan Shitong, you go back to rest first. I will protect him here; there won't be any problems."
"Chen Ang is being disturbed by his inner demon; this is something everyone experiences in life. Don't worry. If he can't even face this, how can he be my disciple? The higher the talent of a genius, the higher the frequency of inner demons appearing. All he can do is defeat them one by one."
"He must turn the inner demon into power to be used. If he is always bound by the inner demon, he will never achieve great things in the future. Even if he really goes into devilish deviation, I will save him."
Wan Wan Shitong knew Master Xing Tian's ability, so he left quietly. Looking at Chen Ang in front of him, Xing Tian was also a bit depressed. It might be caused by too much pressure recently. He must lighten it up appropriately next time.
460: Evil Power
Chen Ang had been trapped in his spiritual consciousness for a long time. The intensity of the inner demon's attack this time was so great, as could be seen from the situation just now.
It was getting stronger as negative emotions continued to increase. Because this battle with his Master indeed caused a huge impact, the gap when they really fought was indeed that large, which was unavoidable.
He must find a way to adjust his mentality. If he continues like this, he really might be occupied by the inner demon and become a walking corpse. He really can't go back, right?
He could clearly feel his consciousness constantly weakening, and the inner demon was still hovering in his ears, saying things that made Chen Ang angry and want to kill.
Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, he began to calm down and slowly stabilize his mind. He didn't listen to the inner demon's lies and slowly recovered a lot. He believed that if he persisted for a period of time, he would definitely be able to get rid of the inner demon.
What he needed to do was to be calm. No matter what rumors were said, he wouldn't listen, and his emotions wouldn't be swayed. Then victory would definitely belong to him.
The inner demon was very anxious. He had lost all face last time. Having finally found an opportunity, he absolutely couldn't let it go so easily. He began to use all kinds of sweet talk to force him, but the final outcome was all in vain.
Seeing that Chen Ang's spiritual power was getting stronger and stronger, just at this moment, the inner demon felt a more powerful force in the spiritual consciousness, which instantly became stronger and suppressed Chen Ang's attack.
Xing Tian, who was observing the changes outside, saw that the situation was not right and instantly summoned Li Lao, saying, "Chen Ang's inner demon definitely has a problem. Go and get my Bodhi Divine Fruit."
Xing Tian knew the seriousness of the matter, so he hurriedly went to Li Lao's room to get it, crushed the Bodhi Divine Fruit directly, and put all the juice into Chen Ang's mouth. After a while, the violent aura on his body disappeared, and the crisis was finally temporarily stabilized.
The inner demon was very depressed. He had just felt an unprecedented force. His own strength had been exerted to the limit, and the origin of that force made him feel fear of life and death.
Just in a single thought, he didn't expect that there was a terrifying existence in his body besides him. It seemed he had underestimated the other party. Now there was a very pure energy suppressing him.
This action failed, but he was not sad at all. He believed that with the help of that evil power, it would be easy to regroup. Things were getting more and more interesting.
The secrets on his body were getting bigger and bigger. Perhaps there was really hope to break through the shackles. With such a good host, his future achievements would definitely not be low.
The two people outside saw that Chen Ang had stabilized, and their hearts relaxed a lot. Xing Tian immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, Senior, for saving his life. Xing Tian is deeply grateful!"
"Alright, get up quickly. I find it hard to believe that so many things could happen to Chen Ang. The Bodhi Divine Fruit is only a temporary suppression. To solve it completely, we still have to look to the Old Dean."
"Just now, I felt a mysterious evil power. What exactly is going on? I can't say clearly either. Besides the inner demon, there is something else in Chen Ang's body."
"To investigate this matter, we must find a way to ask the Old Dean. Perhaps besides the Old Dean, no one else in the world knows clearly."
Li Lao exhorted, "Xing Tian, how about this? It just so happens that I have nothing to do during this time, so I will go to the Sin Prison. I will be back in two or three days. During this period, if Chen Ang has any problems, go to my room to get them. There are still two or three Bodhi Divine Fruits, which can suppress it for a short time. I believe he will wake up soon."
Li Lao, as a top powerhouse, arrived at the Sin Prison in half a day, told the Old Dean the matter in detail, and wanted to ask what to do.
The Old Dean frowned and said, "This situation is hard to say. You go back and observe more. Isn't there a Bodhi Divine Fruit? Plus a drop of origin essence blood, it should be able to suppress this evil power temporarily."
"During this time, don't let him suffer too much stimulation. It can be seen that the evil power in Chen Ang's body wants to use Chen Ang's spiritual power to recuperate. What you need to do is to find a way to prevent it. Do you hear me?"
Li Lao couldn't help but say, "Old Dean, is it really worth it? You know that the energy contained in your origin essence blood is huge. I'm worried that Chen Ang's body won't be able to bear it and he will explode and die."
"Don't worry, the origin essence blood has been sealed. Putting it in the spiritual consciousness can suppress the evil power well. It shouldn't appear in a short time."
"But he must grow up quickly, and his mentality must be improved. I have a premonition that this drop of origin essence blood won't last long, and it might even be slowly absorbed and swallowed by the evil power."
Li Lao returned to the Wuqu Academy helplessly. Seeing Chen Ang wake up, he was very worried and felt that he shouldn't tell the truth first, so he should just cultivate slowly.
He said, "Chen Ang, open your spiritual consciousness. I have something to give you. You must not resist. It has great use. It was not easy to obtain."
He took out that drop of origin essence blood, which was golden essence blood, and dripped it into his spiritual consciousness. His spiritual power instantly felt much improved. The inner demon hiding in the dark saw this origin essence blood and was particularly afraid.
If it weren't for the protection of that evil power, he would have been smashed to pieces long ago. It seems it is indeed a bit powerful. After absorbing this power, he will definitely make a comeback. Let's be stable for a while first.
Li Lao exhorted, "This is the Old Dean's origin essence, which can help suppress the inner demon for a period of time. Cultivate well and control your temper. Xing Tian's approach was a bit excessive, but overall it was for your own good."
"As a powerhouse, you should understand what to do and when. I hope you won't have resentment towards Xing Tian. Don't hold a grudge. As a Master, he surely hopes you will be better."
"Rest first. Xing Tian, come out with me. I have something to discuss in detail. Reflect well."
After the two left the room, Li Lao said, "I asked the Old Dean about this matter. It is indeed a bit troublesome. According to the Old Dean's description, the evil power has existed in Chen Ang's body for a period of time. It is completely impossible to eliminate it by force."
"Currently, the Old Dean's origin essence blood has suppressed the evil power, but we still have to observe slowly. The most critical thing is that as time goes on, the origin essence blood will disappear."
"As Chen Ang's Master, I hope you can guide him well in the next period of time, learn to control your temper, and stabilize your mind. Otherwise, it may really result in a genius controlled by an evil power. It is indeed too terrifying; I feel terrified just thinking about it."
"You must be prepared mentally. If it really comes to that, as a last resort, we may have to kill Chen Ang. It is for the safety of the entire Perished World. I hope you can understand."
Xing Tian said seriously, "Don't worry, I am not the type to be unreasonable. If it comes to that, I will definitely take action to solve it myself."
461: Heavenly Origin Holy Fruit
Xing Tian felt unusually irritable. What exactly is that evil power that makes the Old Dean so wary? Li Lao put it so seriously; if it really comes to taking action, I believe I will definitely have to kill him in the end.
He felt more and more dangerous about this matter, but he couldn't say what exactly it was. Helplessly, he hid this matter first and see how Chen Ang's situation is. ===== CHAPTER 429 =====
