Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 249, Part 248: The Ultimate Demonic Path, the Heavenly Demonic Way

Li Chunfeng immediately unfurled the Heavenly Demon Banner, and large swathes of Heavenly Demons were drawn into the banner.

With the immense power of the Heavenly Demons activating the array restrictions within the Heavenly Demon Banner, the power of this third-tier Heavenly Demon Banner surged dramatically in an instant.

...Let's forget about training them.

It would be better to raise a prodigy.

"Soul fusion, synthesis!"

The inner realm of the Nine Mountains Connecting Heaven Pool was released, and boundless pressure descended, causing strange phenomena resembling the beginning of chaos to appear in the sky, such as volcanic eruptions, dark clouds covering the sky, and lightning and thunder.

Ordinary Five Directions Heavenly Demons are at least at the level of Demon Soldiers.

Its talent rank is also at least Yellow rank.

The grades range from lower to upper Yellow Rank, and there are many variations.

Based on the lower grade of the Yellow Rank, it would only take 243 heads to synthesize it into the upper grade of the Profound Rank.

Three heads of low-grade Xuan-level talent are enough to elevate the Demon Child's talent by a small level.

With Li Chunfeng's current spiritual strength, he can synthesize over 100 million heads in just one day, far exceeding his previous efficiency.

And there are at least hundreds of millions of them in this demon's lair.

It can be synthesized directly in the Demon Nest, but that would waste time, and he wouldn't be able to explore other parts of the Ruins.

He could also easily subdue the Heavenly Demon under the Heavenly Demon Banner.

No matter what.

Even the demons captured within the Heavenly Demon Banner need to be fed.

Moreover, they need to be fed with blood essence and vital energy. If the demons don't have anything to eat for a long time, they will become listless and even kill each other!

They live on the blood and vital energy of living beings. If hundreds of millions of demons were all taken into the Demon Banner, they would start killing each other if they were not fed for even a day.

Even martial arts masters at the sixth realm need to take pills to maintain their physical strength. Heavenly demons are also living beings, not stones, so naturally they need to eat.

This is the same principle as raising soldiers in the army. If you have a million soldiers, do you think you don't need to eat or drink?

Will they fight you?

Li Chunfeng didn't have enough blood essence to feed the Heavenly Demon army, nor could he create a planet-sized swamp of flesh and blood. Only the vast Guixu Sea, and the endless creatures within it, could sustain so many Heavenly Demons.

Therefore, it is best to refine and synthesize it on the spot.

Herding demons is a highly technical job; he only needs to be responsible for the demon child.

Thus, when the first batch of one million Heavenly Demons was successfully synthesized, the Demon Child's realm had already broken through to the fourth-order Demon Spirit, automatically inheriting the fourth level of the "Heavenly Demon Transformation Technique," and his several talents had also successfully broken through to the lower grade of Earthly Fiend Divine Power.

It can be called the fastest breakthrough of the destined demon pet.

The "Great Art of Transforming into the Heavenly Demon" can transform all things, achieving freedom and also transforming into heavenly demons.

This method is the fundamental and supreme technique of the Heavenly Demon, with infinite wondrous uses.

But currently there are only four levels.

Even with Li Chunfeng's current perspective, he couldn't see where the ultimate goal of this method lay.

However, all such celestial magic has hidden dangers. Once it reaches its limit, it will inevitably lead to a direct confrontation with the demon god and the seizure of power.

That's all for the future.

With Li Chunfeng backing them up, they might be able to overtake others by taking a shortcut.

Continue synthesizing, and after consuming a second million Heavenly Demons, you will reach the middle grade of Earthly Fiend, and after another four million Heavenly Demons, you will reach the upper grade of Earthly Fiend Divine Power.

The demon child has undergone a complete transformation and has been raised to a remarkable degree.

It can be considered the boss of the Demon Nest.

Seeing Li Chunfeng's ruthlessness, the other demons scattered and fled, which created some obstacles for his capture efforts.

With the activation of the Law of Clone and the Law of Illusion, combined with the Beacon Fire and Wolf Smoke, millions of clones were immediately created, forming a massive array—the Curtain of the End—trapping them and preventing their escape.

This is the power of the law. Even he could not assign a rank to this final curtain formation. With just a thought, illusions and bewilderment appeared everywhere.

This measure may keep them there for a while, but it cannot prevent them from returning to the Heavenly Demon Realm through the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Tribulation.

Once a cultivator undergoes tribulation, they will be summoned and can use this opportunity to escape.

This is a Heavenly Dao rule beyond the laws of nature, and it transcends even the Heavenly Gang Dao Fruit.

Li Chunfeng needs to speed things up.

Boom boom boom~
The Soul Fusion Pool instantly became a "meat grinder." After 14 million Heavenly Demons were sent into the Soul Fusion Array, the Demon Child's talent successfully broke through the Heavenly Gang rank, becoming a talent comparable to that of Burning Lamp.

The strength is greatly increased.

The demon child's intelligence also greatly increased after devouring countless of his own kind.

A sense of worship and awe entered Li Chunfeng's heart, completely different from the dependence and filial piety shown by Randeng, Taiyi, Wenwen, and others.

Respect is good too!
As long as I maintain my lead and dominance, he will always respect me like a god!

Perhaps this is what makes the Heavenly Demons different.

After reaching the Heavenly Gang level, the demand for Heavenly Demons increases significantly in order to advance to the next level.

Li Chunfeng continued to pour large numbers of demonic beings into the Heavenly Pool, transforming them all into the purest demonic essence, which was absorbed and refined by the demonic child. The talent fragments, on the other hand, became nourishment for advancement, fertile ground for the demonic child to climb to higher levels.

In some ways, Li Chunfeng's Soul Fusion Synthesis talent is even more evil than the blood and flesh quagmire of this Demon Nest.

Once the blood and flesh swamp within the demon's lair has grown large and powerful, it needs to assimilate the entire world as nourishment.

His Soul Fusion talent is also a case of "one man's success is built on the bones of ten thousand."

The eldest brother doesn’t talk about the second brother.

If this is the devil, then Li is the devil among devils.

Fortunately, he was already used to it, and his heart was hard and cold, so he wouldn't be swayed by it in the slightest.

carry on.

After more than 40 million celestial demons were sacrificed, the demon child's talent was raised to the middle grade of the Heavenly Gang.

One day later.

After throwing in more than 100 million celestial demons of various ranks, the demon child let out a demonic roar and his body had already grown to ten feet tall!
His cultivation level has been raised again, and he is now a fifth-order demon general.

"It's quite big, but it's a bit of a hassle."

Upon hearing this, the demon child's body was enveloped in mist, and his size shrank considerably, though he remained about ten feet tall.

His imposing physique was extremely intimidating.

Quietly landing behind Li Chunfeng, his dark, demonic eyes were as deep as the sea.

Li Chunfeng nodded in satisfaction.

The entire demon nest began to sparse, with a few celestial demons huddled in a corner, trembling.

The Demon Child's talent has already reached the upper rank of the Heavenly Gang.

The remaining Heavenly Demons are no longer enough to advance to the God-Demon rank.

Li Chunfeng was temporarily satisfied.

He immediately unfurled the Heavenly Demon Banner, suppressing all the remaining Heavenly Demons within it.

Even though the remaining demons are few in number, they still number in the millions.

With such a massive army of demons used to refine the Demon Banner, this demonic artifact has completely changed its appearance, with demonic restrictions rapidly forming within it.

The demonic banner was rolled up, black as a cloud, and from a distance it looked like a profound ink painting, with millions of demons layered on top of each other, from far to near.

This Heavenly Demon Banner is not a spatial magic item and cannot open up space.

Therefore, the Heavenly Demon Banner can only contain the intangible existence of the Heavenly Demon, and cannot contain the Demon King. If the Demon King has a physical form, he will break free from the Heavenly Demon Banner and jump out.

One after another, the Heavenly Demons, along with a large amount of gray mist, were sucked into the Heavenly Demon Banner. Instantly, the Heavenly Demons, who had been slightly weak, began to vigorously absorb the gray mist.

This hazy mist is the pure demonic essence from the demon's lair, as well as the blood essence accumulated over countless years. It is somewhat stale and not fresh, unlike the steaming hot fresh blood essence, but it is better than nothing and can still fill the bellies of the Heavenly Demon.

The Demon's Nest is empty.

The Heavenly Demon Banner also climbed to the level of a fourth-tier Earthly Fiend Magic Treasure, and a crazy intent arose from the Heavenly Demon Banner.

It was astonishing that spirituality was born.

Li Chunfeng then imprinted his own divine soul into the newly born spirit of the magical artifact.

Even if the founder of the Heavenly Demon Banner, the Old Daoist Wuwang, were here, he would feel like a stranger.

Since the highest-grade Heavenly Demon Banner that Daoist Wuwang had crafted was only a third-tier magic weapon, how could he have imagined that this treasure could break through the fourth-tier barrier and completely transform itself?

With the artifact spirit in charge of the celestial demons, these scattered and disorderly demons suddenly became orderly.

With the Heavenly Demon Banner in his hands, he suddenly felt completely at ease.

Below the demon's lair, Li Chunfeng discovered hundreds of enormous demon crystals, each containing unimaginably vast and pure demonic energy.

'Cunning!'

[Supreme Magic Crystal: A special crystal formed when pure magic essence solidifies under special conditions.]

[Primary Demon Nest: Contains a small space within the Six Desires Demon Realm, capable of nurturing the Five Heavenly Demons!]

Top-grade magic crystals are energy sources similar to top-grade source stones. Li Chunfeng had only seen high-grade source stones before, and had never seen top-grade ones.

It must be an extremely precious resource. Even this demon's nest is a special item, an excellent aid to the cultivation of celestial demons.

"Yes, yes, Master."

At this moment, several thoughts suddenly emerged from the Heavenly Demon Banner, expressing a strong need.

At the same time, a completely new method of refining was transmitted to my heart.

Li Chunfeng's mind raced. "It's actually a derivative method of refining the Heavenly Demon Banner. Could this Heavenly Demon Banner refining method be more than just this?"

"Or is it that the old Daoist Wuwang's cultivation level is too low, and he can only refine things to this level at most?"

Li Chunfeng immediately tested it out. With a wave of the Heavenly Demon Banner, he swept the primary demon nest below, along with the top-grade demon crystals, into the Heavenly Demon Banner.

These were originally unrelated things, but when the Demon Nest was drawn into the Demon Flag, it immediately emitted a series of unpleasant cracking sounds, as if countless sharp teeth and giant mouths were chewing and devouring the Demon Nest.

Dramatic changes are taking place inside the Heavenly Demon Banner.

The Demon Nest was absorbed by the Heavenly Demon Banner, which forcibly expanded a space inside it.

Now that's great, we have internal space, and the potential of this magical artifact has been greatly enhanced.

The boundless demonic energy continued to grow, eventually transforming into a trickle, forming an extremely cold and yin river, with countless white bones floating on its surface.

Those top-grade magic crystals, scattered like stars at the bottom of this dark river, form part of the array's restrictions.

One after another, brand-new Earthly Fiend Demon Restrictions rapidly evolved.

Li Chunfeng used the new technique passed down from the spirit of the artifact to refine the Heavenly Demon Banner.

It wasn't until the Earthly Fiend Demon Restriction, which it derived, reached forty-three layers that it finally stopped growing. It was not far from becoming a fifth-tier magic weapon.

At this moment, he really wanted to go back and find that old Taoist Wuwang, and preferably get his hands on the method of refining the Heavenly Demon Banner.

There's nothing left to cherish in this demon's lair.

Li Chunfeng merged with the Demon Child, and in a flash, he appeared on the Guixu Continent.

With the Demon Child's Heavenly Demon Perception spreading outwards, he could clearly sense the fluctuations of thoughts in countless living beings.

He carefully discerned the direction, chose a path, and swiftly leaped into the air.

Also, let's check the new attributes of the Demon Child on the incomplete jade disc—

[Demon Child]: Five Directions Outer Heavenly Demon General, Level Six (Fifth Tier)
【talent】:
1. Five Elements Heavenly Gang Divine Escape (Superior Heavenly Gang Five Elements Heavenly Escape Divine Power).

He wields the Five Elements Great Escape Heavenly Gang Law, and nothing within the Five Elements is immune to his escape.

It can open the five internal organs and their Daoist treasures, transform the five directions and five elements of the Heavenly Demon clones, form the Five Directions and Five Elements Heavenly Demon Grand Array, refine the essence of heaven and earth, and nurture the five internal organs!
With this supernatural ability, one can be considered to have reached the pinnacle of the art of refining the five internal organs.

Even Li Chunfeng's body-refining techniques will greatly benefit from this.

His five internal organs were tempered, starting naturally with the martial arts body refinement stages of 'Power Refining Realm, Bone Strengthening Realm, and Organ Refining Realm'. The 'Bone Strengthening Realm' was enhanced by the Heavenly Rank - Star Soul Bone Technique, and now he has a body of golden bones.

However, there was not much additional benefit to the five internal organs. It was only after the opportunity of 'Starlight Cleansing' that he comprehended the Heavenly Rank - Starlight Control, which allows him to absorb starlight and temper the five internal organs into gold, thus gaining an additional path for refining the five internal organs.

Therefore, his internal organs were already quite strong.

However, compared to the "Superior Heavenly Gang Five Elements Divine Escape Technique", it is far inferior.

Afterwards, he will systematically comprehend this path, absorb abundant essence, store essence in his five internal organs, and nurture spirit within his five internal organs, which will greatly enhance his physical strength.

Second: Emptiness (Superior Heavenly Gang Emptiness Divine Power), the body can change between emptiness and reality at will.

Wandering in the Void: Without stepping into the void, it's as if walking on an invisible bridge, ignoring any physical obstacles, freely traversing the gap between reality and the unknown. In actual combat, it can also allow the user to instantly ignore all physical attacks.

"Grasp the Void from the Vast Expanse": Explore the void and draw power from the emptiness.

Prison Cage: Summons a cage made of nothingness, trapping the enemy within. This space is an independent space, seemingly invisible, but in reality, it has already isolated the target, confining them to an elusive realm of nothingness, from which escape is impossible.

Three: Heavenly Demon Claw (Superior Heavenly Demon Mighty Divine Power), possessing immense strength, capable of tearing apart the heavens.

For eighty-one days, the demon god unleashed his claws, their overwhelming power covering the earth and sky, unpredictable and of unparalleled might.

Four: The Six Desires and Inner Demons (Heavenly Gang Inner Demon Supernatural Powers).

The Six Desires Heavenly Demonic Calamity: It summons boundless Six Desires Heavenly Thunder, causing all living beings to sink into calamity.

The Tribulation of Inner Demons: Formless, shapeless, shadowless, without thought or intention, and unpredictable.

Fifth: Heavenly Demon Escape (Superior Heavenly Gang Demon Escape Divine Power), without shadow or form, without trace or mark, and elusive.

The Limitless Heavenly Demon Escape: It's not just about spatial teleportation. Using nothingness as a medium, it allows one to instantly appear anywhere from nothingness, ignoring distance and obstacles, achieving teleportation across vast distances in an instant, and even achieving the effect of interdimensional travel.

Having mastered the Heavenly Demon Escape and Heavenly Gang Divine Power, one can now freely enter and exit the Heavenly Demon Realm!
Six: The Great Demonic Art of Transformation (Fivefold). It can transform into all things, can be free, and can transform all things into time.

Containing fragments of the Dao Fruit of the Heavenly Demon Dao, it can be considered the number one divine power of the demonic path. When cultivated to its peak, it is enough to sweep away all the powerful beings in the world, burn away all rules and order, and is the ultimate sublimation after all laws return to oneness, surpassing all limits in the world, transcending all worlds, and jumping out of eternity.

The laws of the demonic path are also a great path comparable to the laws of the immortal path.

The Heavenly Demon has mastered six branches of it, which, in the current environment, would be enough to make Li Chunfeng invincible among his peers!
With this celestial demonic pet by his side, Li felt his strength had greatly increased, and he finally shed his old, cowardly ways.

Once the clone technique is activated, millions of clones are spread out.

"Sweep through the ruins!"

It's rare for me to be so bold, but it's because I sensed the call of the Abyss. Now that I have a way out, I might as well be arrogant to my heart's content.

At the same time, following a slightly familiar thought, he flashed and arrived in front of the old Taoist Wuwang, whose expression had changed drastically.

"Devil!"

"Demon General!"

"Damn it, how unlucky am I to run into such a powerful monster."

The people who were with him all looked ready to fight to the death.

Li Chunfeng revealed himself at the opportune moment, "Calm down! It is I!"

"what!"

The group was even more surprised when they saw Li Chunfeng.

It took him a long time to calm down. Li Chunfeng was such a great master, he had no reason to bully a junior in the Golden Core stage. After explaining his purpose, how could the old Daoist Wuwang dare to hold back?

Say.

The Wanfawang Cauldron that Li Chunfeng had given him before was enough to make him a fortune.

He was so grateful that he was moved to tears when he casually tossed him a few magical treasures.

Li Chunfeng finally obtained the complete inheritance of the crafting technique for the Heavenly Demon Banner.

There wasn't time to look closely.

He sensed that a major battle had already taken place elsewhere.

The Ruins of Guixu are not a safe place.

Li Chunfeng's massive sweeping campaign was bound to offend the local demons.

A castle entirely formed of demonic energy floats in the air. On the enormous throne in the center of the castle sits a tall young man with demonic horns on his head. Although he is over ten feet tall, his figure is extremely harmonious. He is incredibly handsome with a high nose bridge. He wears a jet-black demonic robe and a crown on his head. He looks like the Black Emperor of some human dynasty.

This young man possessed an extremely powerful aura, surging and spreading like a tide.

Beneath the throne where he sat stood a row of Asuras and a row of Rakshasas.

The Asuras were all agile and imposing, while the Rakshasa women were charming and beautiful, like female immortals from the Daoist sect, wearing armor that was not an illusion but a magical artifact!

This was actually an invisible celestial demon, which had cultivated into a physical demon king (sixth rank).

Seeing the densely packed army of clones ahead, and with his own vast army of demonic soldiers, he swung his demonic claw, and the two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

Li Chunfeng was not surprised but delighted, "Good! As expected, the deeper we go, the more demons there are!"

At this moment, Li Chunfeng once again discovered a million hordes of demons, accompanied by gusts of yin wind, which condensed into something resembling a demon array and attacked his clone army.

This is a good opportunity to test the Demon Child's strength.

The Way of Nothingness, the Claw of the Heavenly Demon.

"Wandering in the Void" traverses the void, "Gathering from the Vast Emptiness" probes the void with a claw, and then eighty-one Heavenly Demon Claws emerge.

The opposing army of demons was like porcelain, shattering at the slightest touch.

A Heavenly Demon Banner was unfurled, growing ever larger until it swept the entire sky into dark clouds.

Countless demons were captured and imprisoned there, never to emerge again.

At the same time, Li Chunfeng quietly arrived in front of the Demon King's mount.

'Prison'.

An invisible realm of nothingness has been quietly laid out.

As beings who rose from among billions of demons to become demon kings, the Five Heavenly Demon Kings ultimately possessed some skill.

Sensing something was wrong, it immediately unleashed a massive demonic cauldron to launch a counterattack. The cauldron was incredibly powerful; the moment it was unleashed, the surrounding void distorted, seemingly about to collapse.

However, as the demonic claw descended, all the distortions were easily torn apart.

With a "bang," the Demon Cauldron was sent flying like a ball.

Break all laws with one force.

With a wave of its hand, a demonic hand instantly materialized above the Demon King's head, lunging to grab it.

They were no match for him!
Having easily defeated the demon king, Li Chunfeng finally lost interest.

The summons of the Abyss Calamity reached its peak at the opportune moment. He no longer lingered, broke away from the battle, and responded to the summons of the Abyss Calamity.

The devastating ninth Abyss Tribulation journey has come to an end!
