Chapter 692 – The Realm of Daemon Commander, The Profound Light Illuminates All (1/2)
However, when the two powers in the daemon core conflicted with one another, he would instead be better off not practising the Phoenix’s Scripture of Nirvāṇa. Now that he merged water and fire, he immediately began to break through.
His daemon qi rapidly surged. The Eight Gates Formation of Golden Locks that enveloped the mountain vaguely showed signs of being unable to keep it suppressed. The eight gates of Life, Death, Resting, Alarm, Obstruction, Opening, Wounding, and View constantly revolved, glowing with resplendent, golden light.
Li Qingshan realised that if he let his daemon qi surge into the air, probably everyone within the range of fifty kilometers could see it. He would not be able to hide his identity as Northmoon anymore.
He extended a finger, and the central formation disc of the Eight Gates Formation of Golden Locks flew out. He bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed the blood on the formation disc. Immediately, the formation disc began to spin rapidly.
Unleashing the power of the formation like this could make it last a little longer, but it would completely damage the Eight Gates Formation of Golden Locks.
Li Qingshan could no longer care about that anymore. He stood tall. His black hair became scarlet; his skin darkened. A pair of iron hooves pressed against the ground as a pair of ox horns plunged into the air. He rapidly swelled up and grew taller.
Three meters, ten meters, fifteen meters, thirty meters… Even when he reached sixty meters, he showed no signs of stopping down. In the blink of an eye, he had reached ninety meters, but he continued to grow.
If it were not for the fact that when he originally constructed the dwelling, he focused the most on space, hollowing the entire mountain, it would have collapsed by now.
When Li Qingshan reached a hundred and twenty meters tall, he finally stopped growing. Two streams of white smoke rushed out of his nostrils, and a few tiger stripes appeared on his face. His scarlet eyes were murderous, shining like fire. He seemed even more terrifying and vicious compared to the past. Only the pair of phoenix wings on his back demonstrated a different magnificence.
After many years of arduous cultivation, he had finally become a Daemon Commander. Li Qingshan bellowed out at the sky, filled with utter delight.
At the same time, new innate abilities began condensing in the daemon core.
The ox demon stood with an indomitable spirit, completely unshakable. The tiger demon battled the world, lunging about and roaring. The spirit turtle suppressed the territories in the ocean, obscuring itself and hiding away.
However, something went wrong with the phoenix’s innate ability. Originally, he thought he could directly unlock three innate abilities of the phoenix, but he only unlocked one.
Regular Daemon Commanders all knew three innate abilities. They unlocked one from condensing a daemon core, unlocked another by transforming into a Daemon General, and unlocked the final one when they reached Daemon Commander. Every single transformation that Li Qingshan practised had its own system of abilities, so logically speaking, the phoenix should have had three innate abilities.
And that was easier for him to accept. The phoenix’s power was far too weak after all. It had barely reached a balance with the spirit turtle, but it still stood no chance against the spirit turtle in terms of strength, so there was nothing strange if he could not unlock three innate abilities. He believed that as long as he cultivated to the second and third layer, he would obviously gain those two innate abilities.
However, what he found absolutely unacceptable was how he had no idea what the phoenix’s innate ability was. It was neither an active ability like the Tiger Demon’s Breath, nor was it particularly similar to a passive effect like the Strength of the Earth. He only felt his life force become a little stronger.
Li Qingshan possessed a total of ten innate abilities now, except the effects of the phoenix’s ability were unknown. In other words, he possessed three times as many innate abilities as other Daemon Commanders. Even Mo Yu, who was known as the crown prince of daemons, only possessed a measly three innate abilities.
