CHAPTER 583: Counting Gains, Flame World
Sitting cross-legged, Liu Yu lightly tapped his knees with his fingers, repeatedly contemplating the details of his journey through the Ten Thousand Demonic Beasts Formation.
After all, a slight oversight during the process could lead to an irreversible outcome, and the dream of eternal life would end there.
After thoughtful consideration and confirming that there were no oversights, he finally felt at ease.
"At present, I should be able to enjoy a period of peace," he thought, feeling a weight lift from his heart as he truly relaxed.
Shaking his head, he noticed a faint glow from the storage bracelet on his finger, and a blue jade box sealed with a spiritual sealing talisman appeared before him.
Following that, an ancient-looking ring also materialized in front of him.
These were the Demonic Elixir obtained from the Purple Poison Lizard and the storage bracelet from the hard-working old monk.
"What a pity, I was too focused on killing the target at the fastest speed, eager to shake off the entanglement of the demon cultivators."
"Otherwise, I could have collected a few more Demonic Elixirs."
Looking at the two items floating before him, Liu Yu shook his head slightly, lamenting the few demons he had directly annihilated.
But this was unavoidable; given the situation at the time, he could not risk himself for the growth of "Azure Yang Devil Fire" and "Ten Thousand Souls Banner."
"Crack!"
The fleeting regret vanished as Liu Yu dispelled distractions, tore off the spiritual sealing talisman, and opened the blue jade box, revealing a pitch-black Demonic Elixir inside.
To the naked eye, wisps of purple-black demonic power coiled around the surface of the elixir, extremely pure and dense.
As soon as it was exposed to the air, the Demonic Elixir emitted a peculiar fragrance, but contained a lethal poison within.
If a qi refinement cultivator merely inhaled it, their magical power would quickly become hindered, and their physical body would soon lose consciousness.
Prolonged inhalation would surely lead to a tragic death.
For an ordinary mortal, even just a whiff would result in immediate death!
This was the tyrannical nature of third-grade poison, surpassing the understanding of "poison" that some worldly mortals and low-level cultivators held.
However, the powerful physique gained from cultivating the "Star Body" naturally had exceptional resistance to toxins, so as long as Liu Yu did not directly come into contact, he would not face significant issues.
Just smelling the fragrance like this, even over a long time, would not lead to any discomfort.
Looking at the Demonic Elixir before him, Liu Yu's hands moved in succession as he cast spell gestures on it.
Having performed this process many times, he was already quite skilled and did not worry about any accidents.
"Soul Extraction!"
Taking out the magical artifact "Ten Thousand Souls Banner," Liu Yu released dozens of spell gestures, pointing a finger at the black banner surface.
In the next moment, countless cold and eerie yin energy swiftly poured out from the banner and coiled around the black Demonic Elixir.
"Buzz, buzz!"
The black Demonic Elixir trembled slightly, glowing with purple-black spiritual light as it resisted the influx of yin energy.
However, almost simultaneously, the spell imprint that Liu Yu had cast earlier also took effect at the same time.
The small Demonic Elixir's surface became covered with dense and twisted marks, emitting an unsettling aura.
Soon, the purple-black spiritual light was suppressed, returning to calm.
Seeing this, Liu Yu changed his spell gestures immediately.
The cold and eerie yin energy surged, condensing into several nearly tangible black chains that forcibly inserted themselves into the Demonic Elixir, as if searching for something.
"Roar~!"
In the void, the mournful wail of a demonic beast seemed to resonate.
In just two or three breaths, the black chains seemed to have found their target and began to pull out.
A light orb that was purple-black in color and emanated a rich demonic aura and spiritual fluctuations was quickly pulled out partially.
