My Beasts Grind Proficiency For Me-Chapter 183 - 88: Sun Slaughters Moon Demon

The fishing rod, forged from Profound Copper Essence, bent into the shape of a hook, its line of woven Wujin Silk stretched completely taut. The Demon-Catching Tripod quaked violently within the Demon Realm, the Restrictions on it flaring with brilliant light, trapping the struggling Celestial Demon inside.

This time, he had hooked a Moon Demon. This type of demon was even rarer than a Three Corpses Bone Demon. Its body was filled with Taiyin Demon Qi, an energy both supremely yin and frigid, which excelled at corrupting and freezing Magical Power. When an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s Magic was struck by this Taiyin Demon Qi, it would instantly freeze and crumble.

Even though the Demon-Catching Tripod was a Tier Two Spiritual Artifact, thick layers of frost still formed on its body. If this tripod hadn’t been specially forged to imprison demons, it would no longer be able to contain this Moon Demon.

The massive commotion scared away all the Low-level Celestial Demons at Birch Peak.

This was already the twelfth day Yang Jing had spent Fishing Demons here. Over these days, he had pulled several thousand Low-level Celestial Demons from the Demon Realm. The Blood Sand refined using the Celestial Demon Blood Transformation Divine Light had almost filled an entire tripod. Had he been an ordinary Qi Cultivator, he would have sensed his Qi Mechanism long ago and achieved Dao Listening Foundation Establishment.

But Yang Jing had yet to sense his own Qi Mechanism.

If not for a faint sense that his connection with the heavens and earth had grown closer, he would have begun to suspect that because he had already completed a physical Foundation Establishment, he had lost the opportunity for Dao Listening Foundation Establishment.

’Perhaps because I’ve already achieved a physical Foundation Establishment, the number of Celestial Demons I need to slay has increased accordingly,’ Yang Jing could only guess.

On the ninth day, due to his overfishing, the number of Celestial Demons at Birch Peak had plummeted to the point where the area was nearly empty. He had no choice but to use his Cloud Escape technique to capture some fierce beasts in the nearby counties to serve as bait for luring demons. His luck was good; he even managed to catch a Wolf Demon.

The bait placed in the Demon-Catching Tripod today was the corpse of that Wolf Demon.

Not even Yang Jing had expected to hook a Great Demon like this Moon Demon.

Never mind that Moon Demons weren’t known for their strength among Celestial Demons; even a Three Corpses Bone Demon would be outmatched by the current Yang Jing in a contest of pure power.

Despite the Moon Demon’s desperate struggles, the Demon-Catching Tripod continued its steady journey out of the Demon Realm.

Only a few breaths later, Yang Jing had pulled the Demon-Catching Tripod completely out of the Demon Realm.

CLANG!

With a muffled thud, the now much heavier Demon-Catching Tripod landed on the ground, its three legs sinking deep into the earth.

A bone-chilling cold radiated out from the Demon-Catching Tripod, and the temperature within the Concealing Array plummeted instantly.

Yang Jing held the Golden Crow Pure Yang Mirror, his expression grave.

A somewhat ancient voice echoed from within the Demon-Catching Tripod.

"Junior, if you release me from that cage, I am willing to serve you. With my aid, mastering the Taiyin Freeze Demon Scripture will be child’s play."

The Taiyin Freeze Demon Scripture was the Red Yin Demon Sect’s Foundation Method. Upon mastering it, one could command the Taiyin Frost Demon Divine Light. When unleashed, it could easily freeze the heavens and the earth; an ordinary enemy caught in the Divine Light would be reduced to ice dust, completely powerless to resist.

"In that case, drop your resistance and let me place a Banishment on your Demon Soul," Yang Jing said.

"That is impossible. However, as long as you offer me blood sacrifices on schedule, it would be no problem for me to summon my kinsmen for you to absorb Demonic Qi and cultivate the Taiyin Freeze Demon Scripture," the ancient voice said, unconcerned.

Yang Jing slowly released a portion of the Demon-Catching Tripod’s Restrictions.

"You’d better keep your word."

"Naturally!"

The ancient voice only got halfway through the word before its tone suddenly became piercingly shrill and strange.

"Hahaha! What naive fool is this, to so easily trust the promise of a Celestial Demon?"

Amidst a peal of shrill cackling, a Moon Demon with the head of a deer and the body of a man—its skin pallid, its head crowned with fleshy horns, and its body covered in wrinkles—struggled mightily. It broke free of the Demon-Catching Tripod’s bonds and pulled its upper body out of the vessel.

It was met by a burst of dazzling, brilliant light.

Hundreds of rays, each as fine as a needle, poured forth from the mirror’s surface, showering down upon the Moon Demon.

Each ray of light carried astonishing heat and the Sun God Slaying Power.

The Moon Demon’s hide, tougher than gold or iron, was easily pierced and penetrated by the Sun God’s Rays. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

A blood-curdling scream erupted from within the Moon Demon.

The spots pierced by the Sun God’s Rays instantly began to redden and swell, forming one massive blister after another.

Some of the Divine Light even pierced through its demonic body and stabbed into its Demon Soul, making the Moon Demon feel as if it were being executed by a thousand cuts.

"You treacherous whelp!"

Having taken the full brunt of the Sun God’s Ray, the Moon Demon’s aura weakened dramatically.

Before it could recover its senses, Yang Jing activated his Five Elements Wheel, converting all of his Magical Power and True Evil into the Fire Element.

An archaic, reddish-gold longsword condensed above his head.

This longsword, condensed by his Five Elements Magical Sword Talent, had nearly taken physical form. It was translucent and crystalline, its edge gleaming with a cold light.

The next instant, the longsword vanished from above Yang Jing’s head and reappeared over the Moon Demon’s. It plunged down through the crown of its skull, piercing deep into its body.

A torrent of Fire Element Sword Gang, imbued with the essence of Sun True Fire, surged forth.

Dazzling firelight even erupted from the Moon Demon’s mouth.

This one Demon-Slaying Sword strike left the Moon Demon on the verge of death, with almost no power left to resist.

Yang Jing pushed his Grotto Dark Dharma Eye to its absolute limit, watching the Moon Demon’s transformation. If drawing down the Taixiao True Thunder from the heavens wouldn’t cause too great a commotion, he would have even summoned another bolt of True Thunder.

The Moon Demon’s body began to crumble, bit by bit. Although its innate Talent was extraordinary, the techniques Yang Jing used were the perfect counter to its Taiyin Demon Qi. That, combined with his surprise attack, left it utterly powerless.

It abandoned its demonic body completely, screaming in terror.

"Whelp! Who in the hell are you?! How dare you so wantonly slaughter us, the Demon Crowd! The Demon Venerable will not forgive you!"

The response to the Moon Demon was a flash of crimson Celestial Demon Blood Transformation Divine Light.

The bolt-like Divine Light struck the Moon Demon, and amid its horrifying screams, it was transformed into a Blood Pearl the size of an infant’s fist.

A wisp of pure qi coiled around the Blood Pearl, condensed and refusing to dissipate.

’Taiyin Essence Qi!’

Yang Jing recognized the essence of this pure qi at a glance and quickly took out a Jade Bottle to collect it.

The quality of this strand of Taiyin Essence Qi was so high that not even the Celestial Demon Blood Transformation Divine Light could refine it into Blood Qi, which was why it was left behind.

The Demon-Catching Tripod discreetly began to refine the Moon Demon’s remains within itself.

Yang Jing paid it no mind, for he had entered a profound and mystical Realm. The surrounding Five Element Spiritual Energy began to resonate with him. In an instant, his perception of Spiritual Qi surpassed the limits of his Bright Qi Talent.

He felt as if he were about to merge with the earth, the sky, and the myriad living beings between them.

The Spiritual Qi within the earth, ebbing and flowing like blood in veins, surged toward the Demon Realm, resisting the Demonic Qi’s invasion of the Nine Heavens World.

Wave after wave, ceaseless and unending.

Yang Jing was nearly lost in this magnificent, spectacular vision when a sudden chill in his Divine Soul shocked him back to his senses.

’Five Elements Foundation Establishment, now is the time!’
