Danwu God Emperor

Ye Lou stood beneath the waterfall, revealing the secrets of the Four Directions Seal. His eyes lit up at the sight. A mid-grade Xuan-level martial art was indeed extraordinary. Back then, Dong Qianqian's Returning Thousand Hands was also a mid-grade Xuan-level martial art, which was terrifying.

If it weren't for the harmonious integration of the Southern Nose Palm with the demonic will within him, coupled with his profound understanding, it would have been difficult for him to surpass his opponent in martial arts.

The Four-in-One Seal he was currently holding was no less powerful than Gui Yiqian's Flicking Hand. Its evolution process appeared in his mind, as if enlightened. He immediately grasped its artistic conception to a minor level. After all, Ye Lou's current strength was no longer what it was during his inner strength period.

Comprehending a mid-grade Xuan-level martial art is not difficult; it's not an exaggeration to think that one can reach minor mastery simply by mentally rehearsing the moves.

"Heaven-shaking Seal!"

Ye Louteng soared into the air, raised his right hand, and the surrounding aura surged out like a raging sea. The spiritual power gathered in his palm was violent and fierce, pressing down on the waterfall in front of him, and a thick energy burst out from his hand.

boom!

The waterfall was instantly smashed into a large hole, but this did not stop the flow of energy. The rocks behind it shattered, sending sparks flying.

"What incredible power!" Ye Lou couldn't help but look at his hands, his face filled with horror.

"Let's try the third move, Golden Light Dao Seal!"

Ye Lou raised his hands again, gathering spiritual energy in his palms. His whole body seemed to glow with golden light, and the light from his hands was even brighter, vying with the bright sun above his head. He stood out particularly in this desolate mountain range. He slowly pushed forward.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The mountains behind the waterfall emitted a series of loud roars that lingered for a long time. However, the movement was so slow that his spiritual energy fluctuations were not visible, and the void did not even tremble.

Ye Lou had no idea just how fast this speed was!

The Golden Light Dao Seal was so powerful that he had not expected it to be this strong. This was only the third move. There was still a fourth move, the Life and Death Seal, that he had not yet tried. The text said that the fourth move could damage a person's soul essence, which was undoubtedly the most terrifying.

Just like the fourth move of the Southern Nose Palm, the Soul-Slaying Move, physical damage can be repaired with elixirs, but damage to the soul is permanent, and even if it is repaired, it requires rare and precious treasures from heaven and earth.

Ye Lou was overjoyed. He had now mastered the Four Harmony Seal and was only one step away from reaching its peak. In addition, the Xuan Steel Gloves were a top-grade magic weapon that could be used for both offense and defense. Combined with the Four Harmony Seal, it was simply perfect.

Although magical artifacts are only slightly better than ordinary weapons, and there are also mortal artifacts and treasure artifacts above them, Ye Lou was already satisfied. After all, the most suitable one is the best.

He put the Four Harmony Seal into his Qiankun Bag and did not intend to continue practicing the fourth form, the Life and Death Seal. This was because the seal consumed too much spiritual energy, and its power could only be seen when fighting against martial artists.

How can the flowers, grass, mountains, and waterfalls before us demonstrate the power of the Seal of Life and Death?

Ye Lou's main reason for coming to the back mountain this time was to deduce the fifth form of the Nanbi Dao Palm. During his internal strength stage, he was already familiar with the first four forms. After reaching the peak of his cultivation, he was troubled by not having time to deduce the fifth form.

Now that he has reached the second level of the Spirit Induction Realm and cultivated the Great Evolution Myriad Demon Scripture, his talent has also made a qualitative leap. It is time for him to deduce the fifth form, but whether he can succeed is unknown.

The Three Pure Ones were able to create such a martial art, which shows their extraordinary strength. The fifth form combines the essence of the first four forms, making it incredibly difficult to master. If one were fortunate enough to see the secret formula of the Three Pure Ones' fifth form, they might be able to deduce their own fifth form.

It's a pity that Ye Lou didn't have time to go to the Thousand Pools Cave in Wushan City to find the body of the Three Pure Ones, otherwise he could have achieved twice the result with half the effort.

"This Southern Nose Palm technique does resemble a demonic martial art. If I were to imbue the fourth move with demonic will, perhaps I would gain some insights!"

Having formed an idea in his mind, Ye Lou immediately sat cross-legged on the spot, silently reciting the incantation for the fourth move, the Soul-Slaying Style. He stretched out his palms, causing the void to vibrate and make a series of popping sounds. The demonic will within his dantian separated into wisps of fine, thread-like lines that reinforced his palms.

At this moment, Ye Lou made an astonishing discovery.

It turns out that these empowered demonic wills can be controlled at will, and the more empowered they are, the greater their power. Ye Lou dared not imagine what a spectacular scene would be caused if he empowered all the demonic wills in his body onto them.

Moreover, he wouldn't do that. If he were to imbue the entire demonic will into it, the released spiritual power would be completely devoured by the demonic energy, and everyone would be envious of Ye Lou's good fortune.

It is a crime for an ordinary man to carry a jade without any guilt!

This will inevitably attract even more powerful forces!

"The South Nose enters my heart, rises and falls on the earth, I hold the Great Way of the South Nose, I control the sun, moon and heaven, I imprison the Great City of the South Nose, for there is no time, no space, no boundless space, I suffer the ultimate incomparable!"

Ye Lou continuously deduced the incantation of the fifth move in his mind. Each character transformed into a move in his mind, and his aura was unpredictable. The wind and forest swayed, and birds and beasts flew away. Finally, the characters merged into a true meaning.

"Fifth move, South Nose Pose!"

Ye Lou opened his dark eyes and thrust out a palm. Behind him appeared an unparalleled demon god, ten feet tall, surrounded by black mist and flowing with crimson blood. Only his eyes shone with golden light. His giant hand pierced through layers of void, blotting out the sky and the sun.

The waterfall in front of us was violently blasted apart, water splashed everywhere, and even the mountains shook slightly.

Ye Lou could feel this terrifying power, and he was overjoyed!

The fifth move was so powerful that Ye Lou was speechless. Sure enough, the move he had deduced was more effective in his execution, and he even felt that its power completely overshadowed the fourth move of the Four Harmony Seal.

In other words, the deduction of the Nanbi style directly elevated the Nanbi Dao Palm to a mid-grade Xuan-level martial skill.

Ye Lou stood up, stretched, and saw that the sky was already dark. He was already satisfied that he had mastered the Four Harmony Seal and the Southern Nose Palm in half a day, and he had also discovered that he could freely control the demonic will.

"That felt good, I've had a great day!" Ye Lou stretched his limbs and headed down the mountain.

The secluded path was somewhat muddy, making a slight scraping sound as you walked. Ye Lou's footsteps sounded a bit out of place in the quiet path. The night was extremely quiet, but his heart was far from calm.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a dagger flew towards him, its gleaming sharpness even more dazzling in the moonlight. Ye Lou slid to the side, and the dagger flew past his eyes, cleaving through the large tree next to him, which then collapsed with a crash.

Ye Lou suddenly turned around and looked in the direction from which the dagger had come. He was already on guard. With his current level of cultivation, there were not many people in Wushan Town who could keep him from being discovered.

"Good reaction, I didn't expect your strength to improve again." A person slowly walked out of the woods. At first, it was hard to see clearly, but as he got closer, it was realized that it was Ye He.

He is now dressed plainly, disheveled, and looks utterly颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it conveys a sense of decadence, apathy, and a lack of refinement). He is nowhere near the once powerful and influential deputy head of the Ye family.

"I should have killed you back then, and I wouldn't be in this situation today." Ye He's face remained calm, but his heart was filled with murderous intent.

"It's a pity you no longer have the chance!" Ye Lou said calmly.

"Is that so?" Ye He said dismissively, "You are only at the second level of the Spirit Induction Realm. Even if you have exceptional talent, you can only fight against those at the third level of the Spirit Induction Realm at most. Do you think I would have dared to come here without any confidence after waiting for so long at the foot of the mountain?"

After speaking, Ye He suddenly unleashed his aura, revealing his strength as a fourth-level Spirit Guiding Realm cultivator.

These past few days, he has been frantically cultivating, and avenging Ye Yifei has become his only hope for survival. However, hearing the news of Ye Lou's rapid progress has made him even more panicked.

He originally planned to come and claim Ye Lou's life when he reached the fifth level of the Spirit Guiding Realm, but Ye Lou's talent was terrifying beyond belief, and he didn't have much time left. He finally saw Ye Lou arrive at such a desolate place in the back mountain.

This is a golden opportunity for him, and he absolutely cannot miss it!

But when he saw the waterfall on the mountain collapse, he was extremely shocked. Ye Lou's progress was too fast. If he didn't seize the opportunity this time, he probably wouldn't be a match for him next time.

"Where is Ye Shan? Did you come alone?" Ye Lou dared not be careless. Ye Shan's strength was above Ye He's. He had already reached the fourth level of the Spirit Induction Realm back then. If the two of them joined forces, it might be a bit troublesome, but escaping would not be a problem.

"Killing you is enough for me alone." Ye He could no longer suppress his anger. He sprang into action, his claws flailing wildly in the air as he charged forward. "Kill!"

Ye Lou narrowed his eyes. He had experienced the pain of Ye He's Sky-Piercing Claw. The claw was as sharp as a knife. Once the Sky-Piercing Claw pierced the body, it would not only leave a bloody mark, but the claw seemed to be able to turn corners and hook away the flesh, causing excruciating pain.

He silently recited the incantation for the Mysterious Steps, and his movement technique unfolded. Several afterimages appeared in front of Ye He. Every time he thought he could tear Ye Lou apart, he found that it was just a shadow.

Despite repeated unsuccessful attacks, he did not become agitated. He had lost interest in pursuing martial arts and felt no shame at being able to match Ye Lou at such a young age. He had only one thought in his mind.

Kill Ye Lou to avenge my son and reclaim everything that belongs to him.

"You think I'm the Ye Lou of yesteryear? Get out of my way!" Ye Lou roared. He hadn't made a move earlier because he was wary of Ye Shan attacking from behind, and had been using his movement skills to create distance.

After searching the surroundings and confirming that Ye Shan was not there, he felt safe to make his move, raising his palm and shattering Ye Shan's Heaven-Claw.

Ye He's pupils widened in shock, he was utterly horrified!

"How can they have such strong combat power!"

"Your idea is good, but you underestimate my growth rate. The humiliation my father suffered by kneeling that day, I will avenge on you today." Ye Lou's voice was icy. Recalling how his father knelt and mutilated himself for his chance to participate in Tianyi's admissions, while he could only hide outside and cry in secret, Ye Lou's anger surged forth. He took a step forward, his killing intent surging.

"I have said it before, if a father is humiliated, his son will surely avenge him!"
