Chapter 836: Disintegration Shape Transformation
“Do you know about our Holy Realm?” The scholar’s face flickered with a trace of surprise as he glanced at Wei Wuya with some astonishment.
“Although I don't know much about the Ancient Demon Realm, I do know that you are sworn enemies of the ancient cultivators. Back in ancient times, they tried to dominate our Human Realm. That alone is enough,” Wei Wuya said coldly, hiding within the green mist.
Upon hearing this, the sect master of the Ghost Spirit Sect and Wang Tiangu’s expressions instantly changed. Dark light flickered on their bodies as clumps of yin energy appeared, forming a protective barrier around them.
Both men eyed the scholar cautiously and instinctively took two steps back.
Though neither had ever heard of the Ancient Demon Realm or ancient demons, seeing Wei Wuya act as if facing a formidable enemy—and coupled with the scholar’s brazen confidence—naturally heightened their vigilance!
“I won’t tell you who I am. That’s unnecessary right now. But I want to propose a deal: if you agree, I can immediately boost your realm by leaps and bounds. It could even make entering the transformation spirit realm a real possibility. Are you interested in hearing more?” The scholar’s expression remained unchanged as he spoke every word clearly.
“Oh? Such a good opportunity? Fine, let's hear it!” The Ghost Spirit Sect master and Wang Tiangu exchanged glances, replying calmly.
“It’s simple. You must have seen this ancient demonic body behind me. I want you three to help remove the seals on it. In return, I will use this body to open a rift to the Holy Realm, summon the true demonic energy of a Holy Ancestor, and infuse you with this demonic energy to forge supreme demonic bodies. You will become members of our Holy Realm. What do you think? With your aptitude, once infused, your cultivation bases will surge. Entering the transformation spirit realm will be only a matter of time.” The scholar’s voice was full of temptation.
“Remove the seals, infuse with demonic energy?” The Ghost Spirit Sect master’s heart thumped loudly.
The chance to instantly increase one’s cultivation base, even to reach the transformation spirit realm, was an irresistible allure for any cultivator.
His gaze shifted and he saw Wang Tiangu’s expression also change—clearly tempted.
“Are you two out of your minds? Do you really think that after infusing demonic energy, you would still be yourselves? You might lose your minds and become puppets of the ancient demons,” Wei Wuya said shrewdly. Having lived so long, he saw through their thoughts immediately and didn’t hesitate to warn them.
“Brother Wei, what do you mean?” Wang Tiangu’s face fell as if doused with cold water, suddenly sobering.
“What do I mean? You actually dare trust a demon from another realm? I don’t know what this infusion of demonic energy entails, but this filthy energy forcibly raises your cultivation without considering your original foundation. What kind of end do you think you’ll meet?” Wei Wuya said mercilessly from within the poisonous mist.
With every word, the Ghost Spirit Sect master and Wang Tiangu's faces darkened further. After hearing it all, their gazes toward the scholar had turned icy and grim.
The scholar frowned and parted his lips, as if wanting to argue, but at that moment, a strange expression appeared on Wei Wuya’s face.
Suddenly, from a pile of stones about a zhang behind the scholar, a sharp shriek rang out. A slender black shadow shot out without warning and in a flash pierced the scholar’s abdomen, flying more than ten zhang away before circling and pausing in midair.
It was a strange little snake, completely jet black, with a remarkably sharp head sporting a thumb-sized pure white unihorn that looked like the tip of a sword. Its body had no scales, shining glossy black.
The scholar’s abdomen burst open, forming a bowl-sized hole. Since he was a phantom-like being, no blood spilled. However, a green crystal core the size of a walnut inside was smashed to pieces, leaving only fragments within the cavity.
