Chapter 1832: Chapter 1830: Outschemed by the Blood Killing Organization

[Seeking rewards, more rewards mean more updates, and if an Alliance Hierarch sends a reward, two additional Chapters!]

Xu Zigang’s ”Star Absorption Demon Skill” is a powerful Demon Skill within the Demon Path. The old King of Killers from the Blood Killing Organization taught it to Xu Zigang to cultivate him, or rather, to use Xu Zigang’s power. Just as Xu Zigang himself said, the old King of Killers only imparted to him an incomplete spell, full of omissions, and Xu Zigang succeeded in cultivating it purely through his own intelligence and wisdom!

Ye Tianchen does not know much about Demon Skills, but as a powerful Martial Artist, especially since Ye Tianchen has already reached the Mid-stage Martial Saint Realm, he has enough opportunities and has received many treasures, so he knows a little bit!

In the process of cultivation for All Living Beings, it’s possible to fall into the Demon Path. Most of the Demon Path cultivation techniques are ruthless and vicious, aimed at destroying others to achieve oneself. The method of cultivation follows a path of living life to its extreme, like Xu Zigang’s ”Star Absorption Demon Skill,” which not only can devour everything but also can convert the power of defeated formidable enemies into one’s own, showcasing the terrifying aspect of Demon Skills.

In the Martial Arts World, there have been a few powerful figures from the Demon Path, even Saint Realm experts may not subdue them. It is rumored that the one who founded the Demon Path and left behind numerous cultivation methods from the Demon Path was an Emperor known as the ”Demon Emperor.” However, throughout history, no one has ever seen such a Demon Emperor, and this Demon Emperor was reputed to have walked a path of slaughter, ascending to the Emperor Realm, becoming another master of the universe, and self-proclaiming as the ”Demon Emperor.”

Indeed, the legend of the Demon Emperor inevitably leads one to ponder another matter: from the birth of the Martial Arts World to the present, trillions of cultivators among living beings are striving, seeking powerful and supreme strength, and pursuing the true ”Tao.” So, what is the true Tao?

Is compassion the true Tao? It doesn’t seem so. Countless years have passed, and many sages have fought to the death for All Living Beings. What did they gain? Ultimately, they died in battle, their spirit and form extinguished, leaving nothing behind.

Is bloodthirsty slaughter the true Tao? That doesn’t seem to be the case either. The Martial Arts World itself is cruel and bloody, with countless ruthless demons appearing. Yet how many of these demons have ascended to the Emperor Realm? Including the Demon Emperor, it is all just rumor!

In the Martial Arts World, throughout the universe, and among All Living Beings, where is their path? Where is their Tao? They cannot provide an answer for themselves, nor can anyone else provide it. Only by exploring it on their own, after endless epochs of exploration, does it remain unanswered. Thus, this is the reality of Heaven and Earth showing no favoritism, treating All Living Beings as straw dogs!

Everyone is essentially living in confusion, wasting their lives. Whether they are ordinary people, powerful Martial Artists, all ultimately die in a state of aimlessness and confusion.

”The biggest drawback of Demon Skills is that they easily backfire; a slight misstep will lead to a catastrophe, essentially suicide. But for me, there’s nothing to worry about, because only the weak fear cultivation of powerful techniques, only the weak fear being backfired upon!” Xu Zigang said confidently with a smile.

Ye Tianchen frowned slightly; he really didn’t expect Xu Zigang to be so reckless, disregarding the backlash force of Demon Skills. One must know, in the Martial Arts World, many who practice Demon Skills ultimately face catastrophe, ending with their spirit and form extinguished, overwhelmed by the backlash of Demon Path forces, life and death beyond their control. Xu Zigang is recklessly bold, and having truly succeeded in cultivating the ”Star Absorption Demon Skill,” is simply too insane. Xu Zigang’s talent and strength are indeed not to be underestimated!

”Have you ever felt the backlash force while cultivating this Star Absorption Demon Skill?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but frown and ask.

”Of course not. Those alarming claims are nothing but lies meant to scare timid people. It is rumored that Demon Skills, as long as one dares to cultivate them, will inevitably appear accompanied by backlash. A slight misstep makes resistance impossible, and the result would be a catastrophe unlike any other, akin to suicide. Yet during my cultivation of this Demon Skill, I have never sensed any backlash force, perhaps because I am too powerful!” Xu Zigang confidently replied.

Ye Tianchen frowned deeply; Xu Zigang, from the moment he began cultivating the ”Star Absorption Demon Skill” to achieving mastery, never once felt even a shred of backlash. Why is this so? Could it be that the rumors are indeed mistaken?

In the Martial Arts World, many Demon Skill cultivation methods circulate, but few dare to venture into cultivation easily. Because Demon Skills, the moment one cultivates them, they generate backlash force – a force not easily endured by ordinary people, with even the slightest error resulting in a catastrophe of spirit and form extinguished. There have been rumors that even Saint Realm experts, while cultivating Demon Skills, couldn’t withstand the backlash force, ending in the disappearance of their soul. This is precisely why so few have the courage to cultivate Demon Skills!

”Will cultivating Demon Skills really not result in backlash?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but frown self-talking to himself.

”You don’t need to know this point. Even if there’s backlash, so what? In my eyes, Xu Zigang, such backlash force doesn’t count for anything!” Xu Zigang arrogantly declared.

Boom!

In the next moment, Xu Zigang seemed unwilling to let the night drag on, and his hands began forming seals. Two strange seals took shape, and immediately, two smaller vortices appeared on either side of the massive Devouring Vortex. These two smaller whirlpools spun incessantly and were quickly swallowed into the central large vortex. Instantly, the power of the initially existing Devouring Vortex amplified several times over, forcibly enveloping the Chaos Qi, and surging towards Ye Tianchen.

”Do you intend to use this devouring force to destroy the Chaos Qi?” Ye Tianchen frowned and asked.

”What a joke! I’m not as foolish as you. Chaos Qi is the source of the Martial Arts World and is both indestructible and invincible. My devouring power can’t possibly destroy it. As long as I kill you, won’t the treasure on you all become mine?” Xu Zigang coldly and mockingly replied.

Buzz!

The power of the Devouring Vortex was immensely strong, continuously suppressing Ye Tianchen. Even though Ye Tianchen activated the ”Holy Heaven Prison,” hoping to use this mysterious Supreme Treasure to block it, he felt powerless because the most potent two strands of Chaos Qi were trapped by the Devouring Vortex’s power. This meant that even if Ye Tianchen had the strength, he couldn’t utilize it!

This was Xu Zigang’s tactic. He deliberately let Ye Tianchen use Chaos Qi to pierce through the Devouring Vortex. It seemed like Ye Tianchen was propelling the Chaos Qi to pierce the Devouring Vortex, but in reality, Xu Zigang was using the power of the Devouring Vortex to entangle the Chaos Qi, rendering Ye Tianchen unable to exert his strength.

At this moment, facing the power of the Devouring Vortex constantly pressing down on him, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but furrow his brow. Looking at the ”Holy Heaven Prison” above him, he couldn’t help but think to himself, ”It’s not hard to break this Devouring Vortex, but to kill Xu Zigang with one strike is not an easy task. I’ll wait for him to get closer before making a move!”

”Hahaha, you ended up merely being my defeated foe, left for me to slaughter!” Xu Zigang seeing Ye Tianchen’s helpless demeanor, laughed loudly.

Puff!

But in the next moment, Xu Zigang froze, his smile stiffened there. As for Ye Tianchen, he was also taken aback, not expecting that at this moment, he still had the strength to fight. He just wanted to wait for Xu Zigang to get a bit closer before striking, but Xu Zigang was subjected to a severe blow, one that could be said to destroy both his body and soul.

Suddenly, when Xu Zigang thought he was guaranteed to win, laughing heartily, his head was pierced by a force, brain matter splattering out. Xu Zigang was shocked, frozen like a wooden chicken, a look of fear appearing in his eyes. He instinctively turned around, dazedly saying, ”Why...?”

”Because you’re too stupid, because you’ve been manipulated all along. Our Blood Killing Organization always calculates others, never to be calculated by anyone!” An icy voice said.

”Old King of Killers, you... you actually monitored me with a strand of Divine Thought!” Xu Zigang said in shock.

”Our Blood Killing Organization never easily trusts anyone. Do you think we’d be unaware of your actions and plans with Lai Li old ghost? Now that you’ve helped me kill Ye Tianchen, you’ve already fulfilled your greatest use. It’s time to die!” A hunched figure appeared, filled with murderous aura.

Bang!

He exploded, and thus Xu Zigang died, transformed into a pile of blood mist. Although he still had many regrets and many questions he wanted to ask, for Xu Zigang, there was no chance for this anymore. The unexpectedly appearing hunched figure had an incredibly strong murderous aura, causing Ye Tianchen to furrow his brows involuntarily; Xu Zigang said this was a strand of Divine Thought from the old King of Killers of the Blood Killing Organization!

”Your death was destined, and you no longer have any use, whereas you still do...” The hunched figure looked at Ye Tianchen and said.

”Are you the old King of Killers of the Blood Killing Organization?” Ye Tianchen frowned and asked.

”Indeed, this is just a strand of my Divine Thought. To force this Divine Thought out, following Xu Zigang, I paid a heavy price, but now that I see you, I feel it was all worth it!” The hunched figure’s eyes revealed an excited look, said.
