Chapter 26 - Demonic Spirit Art

Within the cave, Lei Yang sat cross-legged. Inside the cave, he could not see his own fingers even if he wanted to, and everything outside the cave was completely silent. Only the occasional low growl of a beast could be heard in the dark of the night, giving people gooseb.u.mps.

After a moment, Lei Yang's tightly shut eyes suddenly opened, revealing a look of determination, he immediately took out the ”Spirit Demon Technique” cultivation technique jade slip given to him by his father. With a clench of his right hand, he injected his Spirit Qi into the jade slip, and after the jade slip entered the Spirit Qi, it suddenly released a gentle white light.

The white light instantly enveloped Lei Yang's body, causing his entire body to become transparent, and from the outside, his entire being seemed to flicker in and out, appearing and disappearing, as though he was a being that did not exist in this world.

Just as the white light enveloped Lei Yang's entire body, his mind suddenly felt an intense dizziness. Immediately after, his vision blurred, and his consciousness blurred. When he regained consciousness, he was stunned by the scenery in front of him.

What he saw was a completely unfamiliar world. The sky was black, the earth was black, and even the vegetation was black.

In the world, the world was chaotic. There was not even a trace of spiritual qi. There was only endless dense black qi.

The black aura was full of violence and carried a shocking killing intent. It was the legendary primordial demonic energy that could extinguish a person's nature. Shocking amounts of demonic qi filled the entire world, causing the entire area to turn dark.

”How did this happen? Wasn't I clearly in the cave abode in the valley just now? Why did I suddenly come here?” Lei Yang was overwhelmed with shock and fear. After looking around for a while, he carefully walked forward.

However, just as he took a step forward, he suddenly let out a shriek. He discovered that he did not have any feet. He hurriedly looked at his own body and discovered that he had actually turned into a lump of black gas.

”This, how did this happen?” Just as Lei Yang was in a state of shock, in the dark world, a Spirit Dao cultivator suddenly appeared in the black sky.

The Daoist Priest was currently engaged in an intense battle with a gigantic demonic beast. That demonic beast had a single horn on its head, which looked like a dragon but not a dragon, a tiger but not a tiger, and even had an enormous crocodile tail.

Its body was simply too large, so large that it seemed as if the entire world wouldn't be able to contain it. However, it was obvious that it was no longer a demonic beast, but rather a beast Ancestor.

The Daoist Priest looked to be in his forties and held a golden horsetail whisk in his hand. He had the demeanor of a transcendent being and his entire body circulated with an immortal aura of immortality. Although its body wasn't even one ten thousandth of that beast ancestor's, and it was as small as a speck of dust in front of it, its technique was as powerful as the heavens.

His eyes were filled with drowsiness, as if it contained the sun, moon, and stars. With a raise of his hand, he casted a shocking magical technique, the Heavenly Pa.s.sage of the Stars and the Moon.

He did not have any fixed moves, but he would often form hand seals and point his finger, causing the entire world to tremble. It was as if he was the center of the world, and his every move contained the power of countless laws.

As the man and the beast fought, they used all sorts of methods that could destroy the heaven and earth. Powerful waves caused the void to collapse, the earth to shatter, and magic waves surged everywhere.

In the end, the spirit cultivator chopped off the beast's head with one palm and took out a gigantic beast core. After swallowing it, his body turned into an ancient book made of light and shadow, slowly floating down from the sky and landing in Lei Yang's hands.

Lei Yang looked at it and saw that it was an extremely ancient book. It was as if it had existed for countless years and gave off an ancient feeling.

Lei Yang gently opened the first page, and several lines of small words were written on it: ”When the heaven and earth first opened, the world's foul energy raged, a greater demon was born from the foul energy, and a scourge was born …”

When Lei Yang quickly finished reading these few lines of small characters, his heart was extremely excited and he was unable to calm down for a long time.

It turned out that after reading this paragraph of records, this was a cultivation technique from the ancient era. It was created by a Daoist priest named Daoyi.

This pa.s.sage also explained that the world he currently resided in was called ”Inverse s.p.a.ce”.

This was a fragment of the ancient world that had been here for a period of time. Dao One had forcefully intercepted it with heavenly mana and sealed it within this jade slip. The purpose of this was to let future generations of cultivators witness the cruel times and thus grasp the technique better.

However, this ”reverse s.p.a.ce” was not something that everyone could enter, but was something only a fated person could enter. Furthermore, only their consciousness could enter, not their physical body.

”So that's how it is!” Seeing that, Lei Yang finally understood everything. Although it was just a few words, it explained everything clearly.

”In other words, I'm a fated person. Since that's the case, what are we waiting for!” Lei laughed loudly. It was obvious that his father was not the fated one. Thus, he felt that this could not be considered as a high grade Qi Method.

Lei Yang did not hesitate, as he was worried that this state would not last long.
