Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 961 - 957: Abandonment

Upon entering the forest, Leng Tieya ignored the dense foliage, moving forward swiftly while opening the gray cloth bag.

A black iron box appeared before him.

He smiled.

He actually never really saw what was inside.

At first, Super Sense couldn’t see it clearly, as it was shrouded by an invisible force.

Later, the original owner grabbed it and fled, having no time to take a closer look.

Now, he would finally see its true form.

Although hidden within the box, still unseen, the blood within this body began to stir, the Heavenly Demon bloodline inside him becoming excited, indicating that it was the Breaking Space Demon Device.

This was exactly as he had felt before.

The black box emitted a faint dark light, with indistinct patterns all over its surface.

In the center, there was a handprint, the slender print faintly glowing.

He instinctively knew how to open it.

His form accelerated once again, slowly placing his left hand onto the handprint on the box.

A slight worry rose in his heart.

Could this Breaking Space Demon Device see through the Heavenly Transmigration Technique and directly destroy him?

But at this point, like an arrow on a bowstring, he had to go through with it and could not retreat.

He had schemed and chosen a Heavenly Demon, performing the Heavenly Transmigration Technique all for this moment.

After pressing onto the handprint, he gently released Demon Yuan from his palm.

The handprint flashed, and a layer of soft light enveloped his entire palm, with an inexplicable force rushing into it, instantly coursing throughout his body and then withdrawing from his palm.

Leng Tieya let out a sigh of relief.

He speculated that if his body hadn’t been of Demon Clan bloodline, this force would have exploded him into a mist of blood.

Fortunately, fortunately.

With this thought, a sudden powerful suction came from his palm.

It felt as if his internal organs were being violently pulled into a whirlpool.

He quickly operated his power, continuously infusing Demon Yuan.

The black iron box began to emit a soft light, enveloping his body, then spreading outward.

Super Sensing Illumination scanned the surroundings.

Apart from the two experts from the Great Heavenly Demon Palace, there was also Song Lianshuang.

She was standing behind them, continuously watching the two experts.

The two experts, meanwhile, were staring at him.

Leng Tieya felt his Demon Yuan pouring out in torrents, and in the blink of an eye, it was nearly drained, barely enough to support a few breaths.

A thought sprang forth: Would it drain him dry?

He then shook his head.

The danger instinct came from the soul, so every clone possessed it.

He didn’t sense danger.

As he was about to be drained, as his speed began to slow, the expanding light suddenly contracted.

In the next moment, he heard a crisp snap, "crack."

The black box instantly blossomed.

Layer upon layer of petals emerged, resembling a dark green flower blooming.

At the very center of the petals, a gem the size of a Dragon Eye sparkled brightly.

Completely white, it emitted a gentle glow, imparting a sense of pure and flawless holiness.

Leng Tieya was immediately moved.

This inexplicable emotion caused tears to well up in his eyes.

Holding this segment of the dark green flower with both hands, gazing at the pure, flawless, and holy gem at its center, he suddenly felt himself rising.

Rising higher and higher, his body seemed to become infinitely tall, soaring from the ground, surpassing the trees, the mountains, the clouds, and even the sun and moon.

Standing between heaven and earth, looking down, it was as if observing patterns on his palm.

Heaven and earth seemed like a spherical egg, floating in a peculiar long river.

The water of the long river was flowing light, magical colors.

Among the long river, round eggs rose and fell, drifting along with the waves.

A thought arose: What is this river? Are these round eggs all worlds?

Are there many worlds in this long river?

As soon as the thought was born, he suddenly felt himself plummeting, instantly falling from the infinite height to the ground.

In the next moment, darkness abruptly enveloped his vision, and he was about to lose consciousness.

He felt on the brink of death, the exhaustion too overwhelming, extreme weakness.

Just at that moment, two streams of clear flow poured into the Void of his mind, clearing his head.

The clear flow shattered the darkness, dispelling the weakness.

He let out a long sigh of relief.

If not for the help of the main body and Chu Liezhao’s clone, he would have truly perished.

For a while, his mind swarmed with thoughts, various speculations emerged.

Was this a sacrifice?

Or a selection?

Why had the two experts from the Great Heavenly Demon Palace remained hidden, not seizing it themselves, going to such lengths? Was it only to choose one with sufficient luck to enter the Great Heavenly Demon Palace?

In retrospect, he thought he hadn’t been cynical enough.

The Great Heavenly Demon Palace probably knew there were dangers in opening this Breaking Space Demon Device.

After all, one such device had appeared before, yielding some experience.

Without sufficient spiritual power, or the help of the main body and Chu Liezhao, one would be drained of spiritual power and perish.

They were aware of the dangers, so sought a substitute victim?

The thought made him angry, but he then shook his head.

It wasn’t actually much. If it were him, he’d find a substitute too.

Before knowing it, he had stopped, unknowingly standing at the forest’s edge, at the brink of a cliff.

Below the cliff was a deep valley, where Vigorous Wind surged upwards, brushing past him with a whirling sound.

His cyan robe fluttered, hair dancing in the wind.

Holding the dark green flower, with the radiant gem as the center, he suddenly infused it with Demon Yuan.

Only a sliver of Demon Yuan remained within him.

As this sliver of Demon Yuan surged in, the dark green flower began to contract.

Like a flower blooming in reverse, as if time flowed backward.

The topmost layer of petals lightly closed, covering the radiant gem, forming a small flower bud.

Next, the second topmost layer of petals closed, hiding the topmost flower bud.

Then the next layer, then the one after that.

The nine layers of petals closed one after another, ultimately forming a green fruit in his hand.

A plain, unimpressive green fruit.

Just like a premature fruit plucked from the tree.

So, it was unnecessary to eat it, nor necessary to pay much attention.

He closed his eyes, contemplating the sacrificial refining method emerging in his mind, shaking his head.

This sacrificial refining method wasn’t easy, unlike the Soul Suppressing Seal, it couldn’t be cleverly dealt with.

He estimated it would take a month.

This was even when his spiritual power was strong, with the main body and clones constantly providing support.

For another Heavenly Demon, it would take a year of refining.

Truly worthy of a Supreme Demon Artifact opening up heavens and earth.

If he couldn’t complete the refining, within this month, others could seize it from him at any time.

And the first challenge to face would be the two experts from the Great Heavenly Demon Palace.

He turned around, standing against the cliff, looking at their floating forms slowly approaching.

Then he looked at Song Lianshuang, standing behind them.

Song Lianshuang furrowed her delicate brows, worriedly watching him, calling out: "Brother Leng, run!"

She sensed that these two experts from the Great Heavenly Demon Palace had ill intentions.

Leng Tieya smiled: "Run? Where to?"

His gaze turned to the two experts: "Do you want this too?"

He raised the dark green fruit, showing it to them, then suddenly spun and threw it. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The dark green fruit immediately transformed into a streak of green light, shooting toward the deep valley below.

"You..."

The two experts from the Great Heavenly Demon Palace were astonished.

"Brother Leng!" Song Lianshuang was incredulous.

Leng Tieya shook his head: "I can’t protect it, nor refine it, might as well discard it!"

Song Lianshuang parted her cherry lips, finally shaking her head: "Truly worthy of Brother Leng!"

Leng Tieya looked at the two experts from the Great Heavenly Demon Palace: "Won’t you go after it?"

The two demons chuckled softly, shaking their heads: "Would you like to join our Great Heavenly Demon Palace?"

Leng Tieya was taken aback.

Song Lianshuang hurriedly said: "Brother Leng!"

Leng Tieya focused his gaze on the two demons.

He was pondering if they had some sort of plot, if there was another trap awaiting him.
