Chapter 891

Deep in Southern Court, five black peaks are arranged in a pentagram, the mountainsides etched with countless seal runes, each emanating a dark red blood-like glow, as if suppressing some indescribable existence.

This place is the legendary Demon Suppressing Prison.

Near the Demon Suppressing Prison there are many Void God cultivators keeping watch, but for Yan Buji, evading their gaze is simple.

A thousand years ago, the Great Demon Wuji rampaged across Southern Court, breaking martial dao taboos, slaughtering countless, and was finally subdued by the joint forces of Profound Gate experts. His limbs and head were sealed separately in the eight earthly realms, his fleshly body day by day enduring the formation's wear, until completely rotted.

Yan Buji stepped through the void and arrived, standing on the central peak, looking down into the bottomless seal abyss.

"Rumor has it that the Great Demon Wuji's flesh perished, but his martial dao will remains undispersed..." he muttered to himself, "If I could grasp even a bit of it, perhaps it would benefit my essential law."

He placed his hand on the mountainside, his divine sense seeping in, attempting to probe the seal's interior. However, upon contact, a violent martial dao will surged back along his divine sense!

Boom!

Yan Buji let out a muffled grunt, retreated several steps, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

How can there still be such an overbearing will remaining?

He narrowed his eyes, sensed carefully, and discovered that although the seal remained, the physical body suppressed within had long been worn away to nothing, leaving only a trace of indomitable Martial Dao will, still opposing the seal.

What a pity, the physical body is destroyed, ultimately unable to be reborn. Yan Buji shook his head, looking slightly disappointed.

However, he did not leave just like that. Although the Demon-Suppressing Prison suppresses the Great Devil Wuji, this place, after a thousand years of sealing, has already become a unique "Law Forbidden Zone". The spiritual qi of heaven and earth twisted by the great sealing formation has formed an almost solidified "Law Crystal".

Since I've come, I can't return empty-handed.

Yan Buji sat cross-legged, the Swallow Desire Pot appeared above his head, its mouth inverted, and began to frantically Devour the surrounding spiritual qi of heaven and earth and Law Fragments.

The essential law circulates, drawing the spiritual qi and Law Fragments of this heaven and earth into his body, beginning cultivation!

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye five years went by.

Yan Buji was like a statue, sitting still in the center of the Demon-Suppressing Prison, countless golden Dao patterns swirling around his body.

The Swallow Desire Pot hovered above his head, its body having turned from its original dark gold to a brilliant gold-red, and at its mouth formed a huge vortex of spiritual qi, draining all the spiritual qi within a thousand-mile radius!

What's going on?!

Someone is cultivating here!

Damn it, who dares to cause trouble here?!

Don't go!

Haven't you noticed that the spiritual qi fluctuations nearby are too intense, and even the laws have greatly diminished? Surely a mighty expert is cultivating here; do you want to go provoke his bad luck?

The cultivators near the Demon-Suppressing Prison had long sensed the abnormality, yet none dared to approach. After all, only someone who could so recklessly Devour the spiritual qi of heaven and earth could be anything but an ordinary person.

However, they did not simply wait for death; instead they notified the high-levels of the Profound Gate, estimating that it wouldn't be long before someone came here.

On the contrary, Yan Buji was not afraid; even if someone came, he had confidence to flee.

Crack!

One day, one of the five Demon-Suppressing Mountains suddenly cracked open a fissure, followed quickly by the second, third…

Yan Buji suddenly opened his eyes, golden light bursting forth in his eyes!

What's going on?

He immediately stopped Devouring and warily looked around.

Logically, the Great Devil Wuji's physical body should have long been worn away, the seal ought to be stable, so why did it suddenly crack?

Just as he was puzzled, a vast Martial Dao will, as deep as an abyss, suddenly awakened from deep underground!

Boom—rumble!

The entire land began to tremble, the sealing runes on the five Demon-Suppressing Mountains shattered one after another, the mountains collapsed and rocks rolled down. The sky suddenly darkened, clouds gathered, lightning rolled, as if heaven and earth were enraged!

Yan Buji's pupils contracted sharply, his figure retreated a thousand zhang, staring fixedly at the center of the seal.

Impossible… his physical body clearly…

Before his words even finished, a low, hoarse voice came from underground: "Countless years of suppression… merely a cultivation."

Boom!!

The five mountain peaks exploded simultaneously, smoke and dust shot up into the sky!

And amidst the flying debris and dust, an illusory figure gradually coalesced.

He was a burly man, black hair disheveled, eyes like deep abyss, his body devoid of any flesh, purely condensed from Martial Dao will! His Existence seemed to break the boundary of life and death, transcend the shackles of the physical form, relying solely on will to make the whole heaven and earth tremble!

Great Devil Wuji!

Yan Buji's breath caught, his heart pounded violently, an unprecedented pressure swept over his whole body.

He had seen countless experts; even Ye Zhilong only made Yan Buji feel hard to contend with, but he had never felt such pure Martial Dao pressure!

Moreover, back then.....

Yan Buji recalled that he had once seen the remnants of Great Devil Wuji's limbs back then; he never expected that this person's Martial Dao realm was actually above Ye Zhilong's, relying solely on Martial Dao will could intimidate him into not acting rashly!

Great Devil Wuji slowly raised his head, his gaze like lightning, directly piercing Yan Buji.

Junior, is it you… who drained the spiritual qi of this place?

Yan Buji forcibly suppressed his shock, grinning: "Senior, you jest; I am merely cultivating here, I would not dare disturb you, elder."

Wuji let out a cold snort, stepping through the void; with each step, ripples spread in the space beneath his feet, as if it could not bear his weight.

Many years ago, those people thought that destroying my physical body could extinguish my Martial Dao.

Little did they know, at the pinnacle of Martial Dao, the physical body is merely a skin bag; will… is eternal!

As his words fell, he raised a hand and grasped; a mountain peak a thousand li away rose from the ground, continually compressing as it flew, ultimately transforming into a crystal-clear spirit pearl, which he swallowed in one gulp!

Yan Buji's eyelids twitched wildly.

With bare hands he seized mountains and rivers, refining them into spirit!

Could this be the power of the peak of Martial Dao Refining the Void?

No way!

Back then I heard that Great Devil Wuji was at most at the Nascent Soul stage; how could, after being sealed by dismemberment for so many years, his realm have instead skyrocketed all the way?

Yan Buji's face darkened, he sensed the fighting spirit on Wuji's body.

Wuji moved his neck, his illusory body began to solidify, flesh and blood growing, and in the blink of an eye it became a complete physical body!

"Now it's time to settle the score." He looked at Yan Buji, killing intent intense in his eyes, "You drained the spiritual energy of this place, ruined my seal's balance, nearly letting me awaken prematurely, all for naught..."

Yan Buji's scalp went numb, but his face remained calm as he smiled and said, "Senior, you are mistaken; if I hadn't unintentionally weakened the seal, you'd probably still have to wait another century to break free."

Wuji narrowed his eyes and suddenly laughed.

"Interesting kid."

"However, now that I have awakened, I should warm up."

"You, you're quite suitable."

Yan Buji's eyes flashed with golden light, his Essence Law operating at full power, the Swallow Desire Pot hovering above his head, the Sea Kun Hammer and Rift Scepter already gripped in his hands!

"Then let's give it a try!"

Yan Buji never imagined he would personally witness a peerless powerhouse return to life through pure Martial Dao will!

His physical body was crushed and worn away, yet he could rely on his will to be reborn against heaven—what realm is this?

"The peak of Martial Dao in the Refining Void... no, perhaps he has already touched a higher level!"

He was shocked in his heart, but more so was greed.

If he could fathom Wuji's Martial Dao secrets, his Essence Law would surely advance another step!

However, he is still far from being a match for Wuji.

"Flee!"

Yan Buji hesitated not, tore open the void, and fled into it.

Great Demon Wuji stared for a moment, then gave a light chuckle: "I said back then that not giving him the Buddhist Martial Arts I had comprehended was right—this sort of person is unworthy to inherit my Martial Dao!"
