Chapter 165: Refining and Devouring

Lu Tianyu was plotted against and murdered by Ming Tianqi in the Forbidden Abyss; if he had not met the Qian Gu Nu Di, he would have died long ago.

Having experienced it once, he did not fear death.

The last trace of the Tian Yan Shen Mo's soul suddenly shuddered, then crack, crack, crack, it crumbled apart.

Whoosh!

Lu Tianyu took a deep breath.

He had not obtained anything of value from the memories of the Tian Yan Shen Mo.

The cultivation techniques were useless, the Blood Shadow Sect stronghold in the memories had long been destroyed, and the treasury had been discovered and looted clean.

The only useful information was the location of the Tian Yan Shen Mo's other eye, and it was actually at the Tianshan Sect.

"It seems I must make a trip to the Tianshan Sect!"

Swoosh!

Lu Tianyu flew out of the Tian Yan Shen Mo's body and bowed to Cui Jinjia with cupped fists: "Many thanks for guarding me, Senior!"

Swish!

Cui Jinjia retreated a few steps: "You, are you Lu Tianyu?"

"You weren't possessed?"

She stared at Lu Tianyu vigilantly.

There had been no movement for the duration of an incense stick after that, and she had been extremely worried.

She knew the Demon Head was incomparably cunning, and possessed a soul at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage—powerful and evil, making it easy to possess another's body.

Lu Tianyu smiled slightly: "How could I possibly be possessed? You are overthinking it."

"Next, I am going to refine this demon body; I must trouble Senior to guard me."

Cui Jinjia agreed immediately: "Good!"

She saw no signs that Lu Tianyu had been possessed and finally set her heart at ease.

She immediately retreated to the cave entrance.

Just at this moment, a black shadow rushed down.

Cui Jinjia immediately slashed over with her blade.

Swoosh!

The black shadow dodged the attack: "We are all on the same side, why are you attacking blindly?"

The black shadow was precisely the Demon Dog.

As the Demon Dog raised by the Tian Yan Shen Mo, it could sense the death of its master.

As soon as the aura of the Tian Yan Shen Mo vanished, it knew, and immediately rushed down here.

Only then did Cui Jinjia completely set her heart at ease; Lu Tianyu definitely had not been possessed.

However, she held Lu Tianyu in even higher regard, and the sense of mystery in her heart grew heavier.

The Demon Dog barked a few times: "Master, you are so formidable; you wiped out his soul in such a short time."

"Our Master-Servant Contract is now in effect."

Lu Tianyu smiled slightly: "Your master was killed by me; are you not even a little bit sad?"

"You followed your master for so many years."

The Demon Dog snorted a few times through its nostrils: "How could I possibly be sad?"

"Even if you died, I wouldn't be sad; if you die, I'll just look for the next master."

"Tian Yan couldn't be reborn for so many years, struggling bitterly; it would have been better to just die."

"I have long wanted to see the light of day, but unfortunately, because of him, I never could; now that I have a new master, I can finally see the light of day."

"Awoo, awoo, awoo!"

The Demon Dog appeared very excited.

Lu Tianyu smiled slightly: "You really are heartless; you are a Demon Dog, so that is understandable."

"Since we have become master and servant, do you dare to let me place a Restriction on your soul?"

He was still somewhat uneasy; this was, after all, a vicious dog.

"Why not? Master, go right ahead!"

The Demon Dog immediately flew to Lu Tianyu's feet, wagging its tail.

Lu Tianyu immediately planted a Soul Restriction on the Demon Dog: "Alright, I am going to refine the Magic Bone; you watch from the side."

But the Demon Dog's words made him pause slightly: "Master, can you let me eat the Magic Bone?"

"I accompanied him for so many years; I couldn't bury him after he died, so putting him in my belly can be considered a burial."

Lu Tianyu pondered for a moment before agreeing: "But you have to wait a moment."

"I am going to refine and absorb the energy of this Magic Bone; would you like to absorb it together with me?"

The Demon Dog immediately shook its head: "No need, Master just needs to leave the thigh bone for me; I don't want the rest."

"Good!"

Ye Lingyun released Yue Lingruo as well: "Later, when I refine the Magic Bone, there will be dense energy produced here; you stay at the foot of the Magic Bone and absorb the energy to cultivate."

Yue Lingruo nodded obediently.

However, seeing the Demon Dog and the giant skeleton, she was startled.

The auras on the Demon Dog and the Magic Bone were incomparably powerful and impossible to fathom; she had never seen such a large Magic Bone before.

The Demon Dog snorted: "The soul inside this Magic Bone has already vanished, what are you afraid of?"

"I see you are also a servant taken by Master, but in the future, you will have to rank behind me."

"You will have to get me more food in the future; if I am happy, I will let you ride on me."

Yue Lingruo nodded weakly, looking at Lu Tianyu with a face full of astonishment: "Master..."

Lu Tianyu waved his hand: "What front or back, your statuses are all the same."

"Alright, begin devouring and absorbing; those of you willing to absorb, come over."

As he spoke, he jumped into the position of the Magic Bone's chest cavity and executed the Bahuang Heaven-Devouring Art.

Woo-woo-woo~

With Lu Tianyu as the center, a violent devouring force erupted from his body, enveloping the entire demonic corpse of the Tian Yan Shen Mo.

Strands of pitch-black demonic energy flew out from the Magic Bone, and along with the dense demonic energy in the cave, they were all swallowed into Lu Tianyu's dantian.

In almost an instant, the demonic energy in the cave vanished.

At this moment, Lu Tianyu's body hummed, and a dense Spiritual Energy radiated from him, sweeping through the entire Demon Cave.

The Demon Dog let out an 'Awoo' sound, flew up, bit off the thigh bone of the demonic corpse, and began to gnaw on it with a crunching sound.

This scene made Cui Jinjia's scalp tingle.

The Magic Bone that even her Golden Blade could not cut through had actually been bitten in two by the Demon Dog in a single bite.

Just how sharp must this Demon Dog's teeth be!

She looked down on the Demon Dog from the bottom of her heart.

When the Master encountered danger, this fellow didn't know how to protect him but instead helped an outsider; it really was a heartless thing.

Aside from eating, it just ate.

She had to remind Lu Tianyu to be sure to watch out for this fellow.

Yue Lingruo looked at Lu Tianyu in shock, having no idea what had happened.

She had just been placed by Lu Tianyu in the space of the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron and was completely unaware of what had occurred outside.

Only now did she realize that Lu Tianyu had already controlled the Demon Dog, this vicious, evil dog that cultivated both Netherworld Energy and demonic energy.

Moreover, Lu Tianyu could even devour demonic energy and convert it into Spiritual Energy.

Was there anything her Master could not devour?

This Master was a bit too powerful; she had not followed the wrong person.

Just at this moment, Cui Jinjia's voice of reminder rang out: "Why aren't you cultivating yet!"

"You are by the Young Master's side; your cultivation realm must be raised, otherwise you will hold him back."

Only then did Yue Lingruo react: "Rest assured, I will absolutely not hold Master back."

She immediately sat cross-legged and began to absorb the dense Spiritual Energy.

Her clothes fluttered in the wind, and the lines between her brows and at the corners of her eyes flowed slowly, making her whole person appear sacred and ethereal.

At the same time, the aura on her body rose steadily and continuously.

Seeing this moment, Cui Jinjia sighed endlessly: "As expected of the three master and servants, one is more monstrous than the next; I imagine it won't be long before their combat power surpasses mine."

Five days later, in the main hall of the Kulu Zong above the Demon Cave.
