Daily Intelligence, Starting Out I Obtain the Heaven-devouring Demonic Art

21: The remains of the holy body!The lowest level of the Lingxi Secret Realm was shrouded in perpetual darkness.

The damp air was filled with the scent of age-old dust and decaying vegetation, mixed with a faint, ancient, metallic rust-like odor.

The surrounding rock walls were embedded with Ore that emitted a faint blue glow, illuminating the space like a ghost realm.

And in the center of this dead silent place, a massive remnant Physical Body was conspicuously placed.

It wasn’t lying down completely; rather, half of its Physical Body was obliquely embedded in a dark black crystal pedestal, while the other half was missing.

The remnant’s skin was as dry as old tree bark, dark brown, and covered in fine cracks.

The exposed bones were an unusual dark gold color.

Although most of its face had been blurred by the erosion of time, from its high brow bones and deeply contoured facial lines, one could still vaguely discern its former uprightness and majesty.

At this moment, its eyes were tightly shut, and a huge cavity in its chest indicated a fatal injury; the muscle fibers at the fracture site were tangled like broken ropes, yet a faint spiritual light flickered dimly within the cracks, like a dying candle in the wind, about to extinguish but not yet.

The ground around the remnant Physical Body was covered with faded runes, like tadpoles or insect scripts, long since devoid of luster, yet still exuding an ancient and obscure aura, like loyal guardians, protecting this remnant Physical Body that had spanned eons.

Occasionally, subtle energy fluctuations emanated from the remnant Physical Body, causing the surrounding air to tremble slightly; it was a pulsation from the Origin of life, ancient, vast, carrying endless sorrow and unwillingness.

Here, there was no concept of time, only eternal darkness and silence.

And at this moment, a black-robed, sinister-faced young man stepped into this place.

”This is the remnant Holy Body the Wang family has been longing for. Although it has been dead for many years, its Physical Body has not decayed and is still full of majesty and dominance!”

”However, this remnant Holy Body now belongs to my Jue E Palace!”

Ling Chenxiao, a Prodigy of the Jue E Palace, gazed at the remnant Holy Body before him, his eyes flashing with sharp light and a hint of smugness.

Their great enemy, the Wang family, had produced a Divine Son with exceptional Aptitude and the Ancient Sacred Body.

Therefore, the Wang family had always wanted to obtain this remnant Holy Body, hoping to use the homologous power of the remnant Holy Body to help their Divine Son activate visions and greatly enhance his strength.

However, the Wang family had never been able to find the remnant Holy Body, but now his Jue E Palace had found it.

Then the Wang family would no longer be able to use the homologous power of the remnant Holy Body to enhance their Divine Son’s strength and help him activate visions.

Moreover, this remnant Holy Body also had great research value for the Jue E Palace; perhaps they could artificially create a Ancient Sacred Body.

Or even fuse the Ancient Sacred Body with his Absolute Extinction Devil Body to create an even stronger special Physique.

At that time, what would the Wang family’s Ancient Sacred Body amount to?

Just as Ling Chenxiao was about to put away the remnant Holy Body, a figure arrived at extreme speed, like a bolt of lightning, almost instantaneously appearing before him and unleashing a powerful and domineering punch.

”Who is it?”

Ling Chenxiao was startled; by the time he reacted, the heavy punch had already landed squarely on his face.

With a bang!

Ling Chenxiao’s rather handsome face was instantly smashed into a swollen mess, his teeth were knocked out, and he was finally slammed heavily against the stone wall.

”You scoundrel! How dare you ambush me, Ling Chenxiao, you’re courting death!”

Ling Chenxiao was furious.

His chest heaved violently, Demonic Qi surged around him, and the full power unique to the Absolute Extinction Devil Body completely revived.

Dark purple demonic patterns spread from his spine to all his limbs and bones, his skin tore inch by inch, and his blood vessels bulged like crimson venomous snakes.

He roared to the sky, and dark purple flames shot up, almost turning the entire cave into a demonic realm.

The ground cracked with spiderweb-like fissures, the rock layers vaporized in the high temperature, and space itself rippled with distortions.

”Die...!”

Ling Chenxiao roared, having pushed the power of his Absolute Extinction Devil Body to its peak.

Just as he was about to tear Wang Teng into pieces, a Human King phantom had already manifested behind Wang Teng.

”Human King Seal!”

Wang Teng let out a deep shout, and the Human King phantom’s palm strike, carrying the terrifying might to suppress all directions, slammed down towards the Demonic Qi-filled Ling Chenxiao.

Wherever it passed, space rippled, and the Void Realm shattered inch by inch.

With a bang!

Ling Chenxiao, who had unleashed the full power of his Absolute Extinction Devil Body, was once again slammed into the stone wall before he could display his might.

He spat out mouthfuls of blood, and countless bones in his body were broken.

Some chilling bone fragments even pierced through his flesh, emerging from his body, grotesque and terrifying.

”You... you are... Wang Teng?”

After being slammed into the stone wall twice in a row, Ling Chenxiao finally saw Wang Teng’s face clearly.

At this moment, his eyes were wide open, and his expression was full of disbelief.

Wang Teng, with his low Aptitude, couldn’t change anything even by refining his Physical Body with the most precious Heaven And Earth Treasure.

As a result, the Wang family was too lazy to Cultivate him, so Wang Teng became the Trash of the Wang family.

He had even bullied and mocked Wang Teng before.

But what was the situation now? Wang Teng actually possessed such strength? He had directly severely injured himself by surprise.

”Ling Chenxiao, long time no see!”

Wang Teng stepped on the Movement Character Secret, arriving before Ling Chenxiao in the blink of an eye, then grabbed his neck and lifted him up.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, he directly performed the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art to devour Ling Chenxiao’s Absolute Extinction Devil Body.

”Wang... Teng... you... what kind of Cultivation Technique is this? How can it absorb the Origin of my Demonic Physique?”

Ling Chenxiao felt the Origin of his Demonic Physique being rapidly absorbed by Wang Teng; he wanted to struggle and resist, but it was futile.

”Wang Teng...! If you dare to kill me, our Jue E Palace! Will never let you go...!”

Ling Chenxiao was completely panicked at this moment and quickly brought up the Jue E Palace, hoping to threaten Wang Teng with it.

But Wang Teng remained unmoved, focusing on refining the Absolute Extinction Devil Body.

”Wang Teng...! I was wrong... I know I was wrong... let me go, I will never trouble you again!”

Seeing that threats were ineffective, Ling Chenxiao quickly admitted defeat and bowed his head.

”Wrong? You just know you deserve to die!”

Wang Teng sneered.

In the end, Ling Chenxiao’s Absolute Extinction Devil Body was forcibly refined by Wang Teng.

The Absolute Extinction Devil Body Origin also became the third special Physique Origin in Wang Teng’s Qi Sea.

And Wang Teng’s strength also greatly increased, leaping to the eighth level of the Divine Palace Realm.

Afterward, Wang Teng put away the remnant Holy Body and turned to leave the lowest level of the Lingxi Secret Realm.

At this moment, Wang Teng had already felt a sense of repulsion from the Lingxi Secret Realm, which was a sign of impending departure from the Lingxi Secret Realm; each Cultivator could stay in the Lingxi Secret Realm for a maximum of one day.

Sure enough, not long after, Wang Teng was automatically repelled from the Lingxi Secret Realm and returned to his small courtyard.

Xing’er had already prepared breakfast for him.
