Chapter 129 – Black Scale Progenitor

After flying across the courtyard, the demon’s body fell heavily to the ground creating a loud rumble.

“Boom!”

Ye Wei tasted a slight sweetness in his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood as his face turned as pale as paper.

“Ahem! Ahem!” After a moment of quietness, he coughed violently with both his arms crossed in front of his chest. He could feel his organs throbbing in pain. Meanwhile blood was dripping from his stomach, and soon his lower body was dyed in red while his breathing weakened.

At this point Ye Wei has used up all of his Qi and he felt as if his life was quickly being drained.

Defending himself against a strike that would have been lethal was not without its costs, and Ye Wei’s body was anything but in a good condition.

Farther away, the demon didn’t have it great either. Half of his right arm became mush and his needle like fur was soaked in blood.

“Damn it!” The demon swore as he looked at what was left of his arm with his bloodshot eyes. His body trembled in agony and his face became twisted.

“What did you do!?” He felt a fearsome growing presence in front of him while he was checking his wound. His eyes were wide with shock as he looked towards Ye Wei.

Although heavily injured, Ye Wei was calm. He sat himself down in the lotus position with his eyes tightly shut as a mysterious energy spun around him.

The Selenic Ironbark Seal drained all of Ye Wei’s energy, and his dantian was even showing signs of fracturing but instead of panicking, he started using the Falling Star form to recover his energy. While doing so he tried to repair his injured body by mimicking the energy flow he saw when the demon had transformed. After a few moments, his meridians were suddenly absorbing primal energy at five times their normal speed, and the surge of energy then became his own.

“Zoom! Zoom!”

As the energy circulated, it empowered Ye Wei. His body started levitating as energy around and inside him shone brilliantly. This energy was absorbed into his dantian and compressed into a silver energy ball.

A massive amount of Qi and will-force was accumulated inside Ye Wei’s system from the three years of intense training under Master Yi, and now he had found a way to expand his body’s limits; something that he failed to do ever since he became a peak ten-star Warrior.

“This is…”

The demon was startled, and his jaw fell to the floor. There was undisguised shock in his widened eyes.

“Condensed prime Warrior?”

‘How could he breakthrough now!?’ The shock made him forget about the pain he felt in his arm, and he was quickly consumed by fear.

‘He had the strength of a five… No, a six-star condensed prime Warrior under the effect of his amplifying stance, and I could just barely keep up with him in my true form! Now he’s a condensed prime Warrior!?’

The demon refused to stand still and be scared, and a glow of determination grew on his hairy face.

“Ever heard of inner demons kid? They will buy me the time I need to shred you to pieces!” The demon’s eyes were cold as he ignored his injuries and stomp the ground hard. He launched his enormous body forward to crush Ye We, ‘You’re defenseless!’

The demon approached with the momentum of a landslide, and he rose his fist right as Ye Wei came in reach. Just when he was ready to deliver the killing blow he heard a playful voice.

“Tell me more about these inner demon,” Ye Wei said suddenly as he opened his eyes; his lips were curled into a smile.

“How is this possible!?” The demon was startled as it usually takes hours for a cultivator to fight off a mid-level inner demon. He had no way to know Ye Wei had already overcame mid-level inner demon three years ago at the Karma Tower in the secret realm. He forcefully pulled back his fist and leaped backwards knowing that he was looking at someone extremely dangerous.

All Ye Wei had been waiting for was a chance to push himself to his limit and only by fighting on the edge between life and death could he find out what was limiting him. Now that the demon had shown him how, it was only a matter of actually taking the time to sit down and reroute his energy in order for him to become a condensed prime Warrior.

‘Run!’

The demon’s survival instinct told him to get away as soon as possible.

“I thought you wanted to eat me? Why are you running away?” Ye Wei stared at the escaping demon and rose his hand as hundreds of runes immediately appeared in the air.
