Chapter 896: Transitional Succession
Chapter 896 – Transition
A bad feeling rose in Xu Chuniang’s heart, if she allowed Long Jiu’s aura to continue to climb, she feared that there would be an outcome she did not wish to see!
She switched from defense to offense, slashing towards the nearest demon general with her sword.
However, before the Demon Suppressing Blade had time to fall, that Demon General was drained of all his flesh, blood and demonic energy like a deflated ball.
Aside from Long Xiu, everyone without exception, suffered the backlash of the formation.
In just a few short breaths, the situation changed drastically.
Several Demon Generals were sucked away losing all their cultivation and becoming a dry and thin corpse.
Even the initial dead Demon General did not escape being sucked dry.
Only Jin You, whose cultivation was comparable to Long Ju’s, was the first to realize that something was wrong and was desperately fighting against the suction force coming from the formation.
Jin You suddenly clenched his fists, and the anger under his eyes almost turned into substance.
“You lied to me! This is not the Seven Star Lighting Formation!”
“You guessed correctly, this is indeed not the Seven Star Lighting Formation.”
Long Jue simply admitted it, a hint of a smile on his face.
“I made some small challenges on the basis of the formation, and I named it, the Seven Star Lighting Array!
Whether you like it or not, from the time you join the formation, your cultivation will be taken over by me, and when you take it, it’s all up to me.”
“Seven Star Burning Lamp Formation ……”
Jin You hated it so much that he almost wanted to gnash his teeth, staring at Long Jiu with eyes that seemed to want to eat him alive, and said word by word.
“You did it on purpose! From the very beginning, when you approached me, it wasn’t for the sake of cooperation!”
“Yes.”
The smirk on Long Jue’s face deepened, after absorbing several demon generals’ entire body, blood, and cultivation, he had a feeling of unprecedented power.
He had a strong premonition that after absorbing Jin You’s cultivation, he would definitely be able to break through to new heights.
Long Xiu looked towards Jin You, his tone sincere, ”After all, how can the cooperation of allies be more reliable than actual cultivation.
Since you promised to help me, you should give me this cultivation, shouldn’t you?”
“Pfft!”
Jin You’s anger attacked his heart and he spat out a mouthful of blood, intense remorse rising in his heart.
The Seven Star Lighting Formation, a formation created by Lord Demon Emperor himself, was not bad in terms of both offense and defense.
The reason why Long Ju was proficient in this formation was that he was rewarded by Lord Demon Emperor during a certain operation.
He had coveted this formation for a long time and thought that he would finally have the opportunity to steal the formation, but instead he was counted!
He only blamed him for being careless and underestimating Long Jue’s attainments in formations, who knew that he would have such a skill that he could actually change the formation created by Lord Demon Emperor himself?
Jin You gritted his teeth and urged his body’s demonic qi to fight against the formation, however, the cultivation in his body was still losing, and he was about to fall to the middle stage of the Harmonious Body.
He felt like a sieve full of holes, no matter how he remedied it, it would not help.
He could only watch helplessly as his hard-earned cultivation was lost little by little …….
But at this moment, Xu Chuniang finally moved.
This Seven Star Lantern Burning Formation is a man-made formation, it does have something special, she has searched for a long time, but she has not been able to find a break.
However, she still remembered how Greedy Wolf died!
Since Long Xu liked to suck in demonic qi, let him have his fill!
Xu Chuniang took a step towards Jin You, not attempting to attack him, but instead, from her mustard space, she took out hundreds of corpses of magical beasts and threw them around him.
With a gentle crushing of her demonic qi, she easily crushed these demonic beast corpses, turning them into a rich and tainted demonic qi.
“If you don’t want to die, suck up this demonic Qi!” Jin You understood, and with a wind-swept remnant, she swept all the tainted demonic qi into her body.
After sucking away all this demonic Qi, his eyes suddenly turned red, revealing a crazy murderous intent.
Seeing that the surrounding demonic qi was absorbed by Jin You in the blink of an eye, Xu Chuniang’s face did not change, and she took out a new batch of demonic beast corpses, crushing them as she did.
After using the demonic beast corpses to pit the Greedy Wolf, she unexpectedly discovered that the tainted demonic qi worked exceptionally well against the demonic cultivators.
This was because the most basic cultivation method of a devil cultivator was devouring.
As long as one could find a way to make the demonic cultivators swallow these tainted demonic qi, they would be able to make them lose their minds for a short while.
In severe cases, they would even permanently lose their minds and become madmen who only know how to kill.
Therefore, when Xu Chuniang was in the Devil’s Abyss, she had consciously collected a large number of demonic beast corpses, which came in handy right now.
Long Ju’s face changed slightly, just for a short while, Jin You inhaled those filthy demonic qi into his body, some of it had already entered his body, and integrated into all parts of his demonic body!
Devil beasts have no inhibitions, the inhaled devil qi contains a large number of impurities, these impurities on the cultivator, a hundred harms but no good.
This was also the reason why, cultivators were unwilling to waste their efforts to go to the Demon Abyss to deal with the demonic beasts.
But why, this damned human female cultivator was carrying so many corpses of demonic beasts on her body!
Long Ju’s face changed and changed, and on the spur of the moment, he was about to pinch off the connection between Jin You and himself.
However, when he modified the formation in the first place, in order to suck the cultivation out of Jin You’s body in spite of it, the formation was changed by him to be extremely overbearing.
For a moment, it was impossible to sever the connection.
And what was even more fatal was that he realized that his own cultivation was on the verge of a breakthrough, and could break through at any time!
Once he stopped at this critical juncture, I’m afraid that he would have no further advancement in his life, and would stop at the Harmonization Stage forever.
Long Ju’s face was gloomy, and after gently exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, he regained his composure.
The bottom of his eyes flickered with a cold aura, as long as he could break through the Harmonization Stage, even if he absorbed some impurities, so what?
If he missed today, it would be a thousand times harder to enter the Transition Stage again.
In the turn of a breath, Long Jiu had already weighed the pros and cons.
No longer trying to sever the connection between Madness and Jin You, but instead, with the power of the formation, Madness seized up his cultivation!
“Ah!”
An agonizing hiss spilled from Jin You’s throat, inhaling a large amount of demonic qi mixed with impurities had long since rendered him sane.
However, his cultivation level still fell off bit by bit.
Jin You’s body gradually dried up, the speed of absorbing the demonic qi had already failed to catch up with the loss of his cultivation!
Xu Chuniang glanced in the direction of Long Xiu, after absorbing Jin You’s cultivation, the aura around him grew stronger, like an abyss.
Finally, at a certain moment, he broke through the realm in one fell swoop and stepped into the Ferrying Stage!
At the moment when Long Ju broke through, the surrounding aura changed abruptly, and the calamity clouds quietly gathered into a cluster in the high sky, dark and depressing.
At this time, only the early stage of the merged body of Jin You, no longer able to block the suction force coming from the formation, instantly sucked into a dry corpse.
“Hahahahaha, I finally broke through, hahahaha ……”
Feeling the unprecedentedly strong power in his body, Long Ju threw back his head and laughed, madness coming through in his excitement.
Laughing, Long Jue suddenly turned his head and coldly stared at Xu Chuniang.
In his scarlet eyes, a bestial light emanated, seemingly wanting to tear apart all living things.
Even the robbing clouds above his head were forgotten at this moment!
