Chapter 630 - Chapter 630: Chapter 335: The Origin of the Demon Scripture_2 (2/2)

The previous foreknowledge only told him to successfully cultivate the Demon Scripture with the avatar, and didn’t mention becoming a demon beast, so naturally, it didn’t tell him the specific steps to become a demon beast.

“The Demon Abyss is the birthplace of our Demon Clan. Legend has it that it has existed since the birth of Heaven and Earth. Only by establishing a connection with the Demon Abyss can our divine souls become immortal. Even if our flesh bodies are destroyed and divine souls shattered, the Demon Abyss will resurrect our demonic souls.”

“However, after each resurrection, we need to spend a certain amount of time in the Demon Abyss before we can leave and seize a new body. The stronger we are, the longer we have to wait. Moreover, each person can only resurrect ten times at most.”

“Ten times?” Su Nan was surprised, it reminded him of the revival mechanism of the players.

Each player can be resurrected twenty times, a mechanic somewhat similar to that of the Demon Abyss.

Luo Yu continued, “After learning about the peculiarities of the Demon Abyss, the powerful individuals of the ancient human clan studied and figured out the Sealing Demon Array. This array can sever our connection with the Demon Abyss. If we were killed within it, the Demon Abyss wouldn’t be able to resurrect us. Master must be careful in the future.”

Su Nan nodded and asked, “How can we establish a connection with the Demon Abyss?”

Luo Yu replied, “There are many ways to establish a connection with the Demon Abyss. For instance, consuming certain treasures infused with demonic Qi, practicing Demon Scripture, or even getting corroded by demonic Qi could potentially establish a connection with the Demon Abyss. But the method with the highest success rate is practicing the Demon Scripture.”

“However, the number of demon beasts that the Demon Abyss can birth is fixed – it can be less, but not more, at most only three thousand. Only when our Demon Clan’s population is less than three thousand do we have a chance to establish a connection with the Demon Abyss and leave a mark.”

“During ancient times, our Demon Clan’s population once dropped below one thousand. It’s still unknown how much we’ve recovered.”

“Dropped below one thousand?” Su Nan was shocked.

These demon beasts are powerful, plus they can resurrect ten times, so for the ancient human clan to reduce their numbers to just one thousand, Su Nan didn’t dare to imagine the price they had to pay to combat these demons.

No wonder they were taken advantage of by the Heavenly Race and Divine Race afterward.

“The current number of demon beasts shouldn’t have recovered to three thousand yet. I still have a chance.”

Apart from the demons suppressed in ancient times, there are indeed other demons in Dongchen State, such as the Demon God Palace, but their numbers are probably not high. At the very least, Su Nan hasn’t encountered many.

And he doesn’t know how many demons reside in the other twelve states, but they shouldn’t be too numerous.

Besides, not long ago in the Great Yu Imperial City, he completely obliterated a demon beast using the Art of Fate. That’s one spot, and only a dozen or so days have passed. It’s unlikely someone would have taken that spot already.

Thinking of this, Su Nan no longer hesitated and prepared to let his avatar start cultivating the Sky Demon Devouring God Sutra.

According to the cultivation method of the Sky Demon Devouring God Sutra, in order to reach the beginner’s level, one needed to baptize one’s body with a treasure imbued with violent demonic Qi.

To complete this step, an incredibly strong body and extraordinary healing ability were required.

If one’s body was insufficiently strong or the healing ability wasn’t sufficiently fast, the flesh would be directly corroded and ripped apart by the violent forces during the baptism.

The avatar satisfied both these conditions.

Su Nan took out the demonic blood for the avatar to start cultivating.

The avatar sat cross-legged, directly transforming the demonic blood into a blood mist that covered its entire body.

The moment the exploded demonic blood fell onto the avatar, a violent demonic Qi erupted, and it started corroding the avatar’s body like a strong acid.

Almost instantly, the avatar’s skin was burned through. However, just then, the avatar’s indestructible power from within its body kicked in, and the corroded body started rapidly healing.

Even so, the power of the demonic blood kept invading and corroding the avatar. Yet an unbelievable scene occurred. The avatar’s body was rapidly getting corroded and healed simultaneously, ultimately reaching a balance.

The avatar reacted swiftly, immediately operating the Demon Scripture, and began cultivating by utilizing the power of the demonic blood.

Seeing this, Luo Yu couldn’t help but ask, “Master, what Demon Scripture are you really cultivating?”

“Sky Demon Devouring God Sutra.”

“Sky Demon Devouring God Sutra?” Hearing this, Luo Yu was startled.

“What? You know about these ancient scriptures?” Su Nan asked.

Luo Yu paused before saying, “Master, I once heard that the Sky Demon Devouring God Sutra seems to have been created by a very powerful being who even managed to breakthrough to a level above God using this Demon Scripture.”

“A breakthrough to a level above God!” Su Nan was inwardly shocked, and his eyes lit up.

The bigger the origin of the Demon Scripture, the happier he naturally was.

However, what Luo Yu said next caused his heart to sink.
