Chapter 188: then translation of title

Zi zi— (sound)

After swallowing several Beast Souls, all the gu worms inside the Corpse Soul Parasite's entire body become especially excited.

Even their sizes seem to have increased slightly.

However, the swallowing of a few Beast Souls inevitably draws the attention of all the Beast Souls in the cave.

These demonic beast souls possess almost no spiritual intellect; they merely wander instinctively near this place, among the indistinguishable bones.

Upon seeing Yunhe, a living demonic beast, and feeling the strong threat emanating from the Corpse Soul Parasite, they momentarily do not know whether to charge forward or retreat.

Seeing their reaction, Yunhe is somewhat surprised.

He glances at the eager Corpse Soul Parasite.

"It seems the Corpse Soul Parasite's restraining effect on souls is stronger than I imagined."

After all, it is one of the Ten Great Gu of the Heavenly Insect Sect, so some special traits are normal.

"Go."

Yunhe gives a slight nod.

Zi zi!!

The Corpse Soul Parasite immediately rushes forward a distance, and then a misty silver-white glow appears on its body, tightening and swirling up an invisible current.

Simply under the sweep of this current, some seemingly weak second-level Beast Souls are directly sucked in!

To be honest.

Even for Yunhe, this is the first time he has seen the Corpse Soul Parasite exert its full power.

Previously he only regarded the Corpse Soul Parasite as a means to control the Heavenly Capital Gu corpses, knowing it restrains ghosts, but he never imagined its restraining effect would be so strong.

The last time he helped Mu Haitang, since the Beast Souls they faced were all relatively weak, the effect wasn't very noticeable.

This time, the Corpse Soul Parasite can even force third-level Beast Souls to hold back, showing how strong its deterrent power is.

As a relatively weak second-level Beast Soul is swallowed, the opposing Beast Souls instinctively feel that if they do not act, they will become food.

Thus.

Roar!!!

With the roar of a third-level Beast Soul, all the Beast Souls in this place go berserk.

Yunhe's expression turns solemn.

The real trouble has arrived.

Against second-level Beast Souls, the Corpse Soul Parasite can almost swallow them one by one, but against third-level Beast Souls it cannot do so with ease.

Yunhe steps forward.

Ang!!!

He lets out a roar, invisible ripples spread, and his demon sense surges outward like a wave.

Against Beast Souls with little spiritual intellect, an attack originating from demon sense is undoubtedly the most effective.

For a moment.

Many Beast Souls freeze in place.

The next moment.

Yunhe steps out, his body expanding at a visible speed, and he unhesitatingly throws a punch at the nearest third-level Beast Soul.

One can see fine arcs of electricity leaping across his fist, which resembles a dragon's claw.

This is also another way of using his innate divine ability "Hidden Thunder" after Yunhe completes this cultivation breakthrough.

It is not necessary to release all the stored lightning in his body at once; by using demonic power to guide it, he can control just a small portion that coils around his fist.

Bang!!

His fist smashes, and the Beast Soul resembling a tiger is shattered by the blow.

While the electric arcs tremble, a large amount of heavy yin qi is also scattered.

Although that Beast Soul quickly recondenses elsewhere, its aura is noticeably weakened, and even its outline becomes blurred and dim.

Yet Yunhe's motion does not stop there.

He twists his body and throws a second punch with force.

Upon this fist circulates warm water flow, the Three Yang Heavy Water that he has not abandoned even after his cultivation increase also has a notable restraining effect on yin souls.

At this moment the Beast Souls finally realize that the seemingly harmless black great turtle is actually a greater threat than the insects!

The next instant.

The Beast Souls swarm to surround Yunhe.

The overwhelming terrifying yin qi, amid the vast Beast Souls, if it were the former Yunhe, seeing this he would surely turn and flee.

Even if he has just completed his breakthrough, facing so many Beast Souls, including many third-level ones, he would certainly retreat.

Because even if he does not fear the Beast Souls, he likely could not endure being surrounded by so many.

Demonic power might persist, but the body will eventually tire.

But now things are a bit different.

While consolidating his cultivation, Yunhe finally entered the Carrying Mountain chapter of the Carrying Mountain Technique.

If the Leaning Mountain chapter grants him a strong body, and the Moving Mountain chapter lets him explosively use his bodily strength, then the Carrying Mountain chapter brings him stamina!

Or rather, endurance!

Wanting to carry a towering mountain and walk on foot is not something achieved overnight; it requires not only terrifying strength to bear the mountain's weight, but also persistent strong will and endurance to carry the load.

Therefore, after successfully entering the Carrying Mountain chapter, Yunhe's endurance and stamina are far greater than before; he feels that circulating his demonic power through the Carrying Mountain Technique once inside his body restores his condition.

At this moment, his body possesses great endurance, and his demonic power has three internal pellets as backup; even if besieged, as long as the enemy cannot break his defense, he will keep fighting.

It is precisely because of this that he brings no demon beasts at all, only the Corpse Soul Gu, daring to come here to retrieve the buried beast bones.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The continuous sound echoes endlessly throughout this vast cave.

Undoubtedly the most excited is the Corpse Soul Parasite, which clings tightly to Yunhe's body and constantly devours Beast Souls.

It can be seen.

With each Beast Soul it swallows, a silver light flashes across its body, lighting up like a string of lamps one by one.

Especially the third-level Beast Souls.

Each time it consumes a third-level Beast Soul, the silver light on the Corpse Soul Parasite becomes more faint, and a peculiar misty vapor emanates from it.

Yunhe, closely linked to it, can clearly sense that the Corpse Soul Parasite is about to undergo metamorphosis.

Hoo—

Yunhe's motion suddenly pauses; after lightly exhaling, his gaze sweeps across the cave.

The previously pervasive thick yin qi here has become incredibly thin, and what should have been densely packed Beast Souls now remain only a small fraction.

It's a pity the Beast Souls lack spiritual intellect; otherwise they would have long since fled.

That's the last one.

Yunhe's eyes narrow as his overbearing demon sense erupts outward.

The Beast Souls charging forward also stiffen in their movements at this moment.

Zi zi!!

The Corpse Soul Parasite lets out an unprecedented commotion; a silver wind sweeps from its body, gulping down all remaining Beast Souls in this place in one breath.

Immediately after.

Its body suddenly bursts with brilliant silver light, then instantly dims.

Has the metamorphosis begun?

Yunhe catches them, and with a surge of his demon sense he sends them back to the cultivator's body.

Speaking of controlling and raising gu, the cultivator's body is still more convenient.

The cultivator's body can also continuously observe the condition of this Corpse Soul Parasite's metamorphosis.

If the direction is favorable, it can be moderately catalyzed; if unfavorable, it can be promptly halted.

After doing these.

Gazing upon the cave now filled only with scattered white bones, Yunhe breaks into a grin.

He arrives before the white bones of the Silver Flood Dragon.

Demonic power surges as he unleashes a spell technique.

Bone Seeding Technique, gather!

Hum—

The entire cave trembles slightly, and the white bones within emit a clattering sound.

Some of the corpse bones have even weathered away, turning into fine dust that scatters.

Even the beast bones that have not weathered now show a dark, dull color, losing their former whiteness.

Yunhe, having seized the white bones, feels a chill emanating from the bones.

Now it not only returns to what it ought to be, but is even stronger by more than one notch.

Yunhe does not know how strong the beheaded Silver Flood Dragon was, but given its great fame, it must be at least an outstanding early fourth‑level demonic beast; an early Nascent Soul old monster would likely not be a match.

Now, this Silver Flood Dragon bone cultivated for fifty to sixty years with the Bone Seeding Technique, plus the abundant beast bones here as nourishment, means this beast bone is at least not inferior to that of a mid‑fourth‑level demonic beast.

Even stronger!

About done.

Regarding this, Yunhe is fairly satisfied.

Otherwise, with his current strength as an early third‑level demonic beast, obtaining a fourth‑level demonic beast's bone would be impossible.

Little guy.

Suddenly.

A hoarse, unfamiliar low voice echoes in Yunhe's mind.

「！！」 - no.

Upon hearing this sudden voice, Yunhe's heart skips a beat.

His scales suddenly stand up, producing a rustling sound, and he nearly drops the beast bone in his hand.

Fortunately, Yunhe quickly composes himself, ignores the voice, and spreads his demon sense to search the area.

Not bad demon sense. I've seen you come and go here several times, just for a few pieces of Heavenly Thunder Gold Essence and this flood dragon bone?

The voice sounds again, like from the Nine Underworlds, giving Yunhe a creepy feeling.

If you're only after these things, why not come to my place? Whether it's Heavenly Thunder Gold Essence or beast bones, I can give you more.

Yunhe's eyes flicker continually, and a spiritual light shines within them.

Found it!

He discovers that, although he has finished the Bone Seeding Technique, a faint thread still links the flood dragon bone he retrieved, running from the beast bone to the cave floor and onward into unknown depths.

Seeing this, Yunhe's pupils contract slightly.

He had long thought this place was not simple; deeper down there must be greater secrets, and even in his earlier exchanges with Qing Yao before her Nirvana, they both suspected this site might be the burial ground of a once mighty and terrifying demonic beast.

However, why so many caves were filled with buried beast bones, and why there are so many Heavenly Thunder Gold Essences—these questions they could not answer.

Don't be nervous, little guy. I mean no harm; truth be told, I and you could be considered of the same clan.

Before the speaker could finish, Yunhe shapes his demon sense into a blade and severs the last thread linking the flood dragon bone.

And that sound also came to an abrupt stop.

Afterwards, Yunhe dared not linger even a moment here, fully mobilizing his demonic power and leaving at the utmost speed.

However, after Yunhe left.

Deep beneath the abyss, at an unknown depth of many zhang, a faint sigh echoed.

"Ah."

"Tsk, true to your clan, you are indeed vigilant."

"Is vigilance not a good thing!"

"But it's not easy."

"Alright, it will come again."

"."

"I won't go anymore; before I have sufficient strength, I cannot set foot in the abyss again!"

On the way back, Yunhe carefully examined the dragon bone for any harmful residue while secretly warning himself.

He originally thought that even if there were greater secrets beneath the abyss, as long as he didn't cross the boundary there should be no problem; after all, having gone back and forth many times, nothing unusual had ever appeared.

"However, only by using the Bone-Seeding Art can I establish a connection with me; it must be due to some reason that I cannot leave."

As for the other party's claim of being 'of the same clan'?

Yunhe scoffed at that.

Fortunately, he had inspected the dragon bone hundreds of times back and forth, and tested it with various abilities, finding no issues.

Even.

He also transmitted the dragon bone to the Cultivator Body, using its Five Elements Heavenly Thunder Sword's heavenly thunder to baptize it.

If something truly exists, such yin soul power would definitely not escape the heavenly thunder.

Moreover.

Even if the being beneath the abyss were truly strong, it could not possibly possess spatial abilities to cross such a distance, let alone Fourth Level; even Fifth or Sixth Level demon beasts could not.

After completing these to ensure absolute safety, Yunhe then prepared to begin refining the 'Sever Immortal Strategy'.

Only by possessing the 'Mysterious Demon Sever Immortal Strategy' cultivation method that includes the 'Sever Immortal Strategy' can one formally begin training.

However, before that, he took some time to refine the 'Yellow Wind Light Sand Fan' obtained from Fei Ling.

Magic treasures need to be bound with essence blood to recognize a master; the Cultivator Body's Five Elements Heavenly Thunder Sword or Vermilion Bird Ring cannot be used, while Fei Ling's magic treasure, Yunhe dare not casually take it out to use in the cultivation world, but on the Demon Beast Body side there is nothing to avoid.

An earth-attribute magic treasure also fits well with the Demon Beast Body's cultivated Camel Mountain Art.

Afterwards, he then offered flames and began refining the 'Sever Immortal Strategy'.
