Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

Every time the Blood Demon Lord moved his hands, everyone felt their blood start to surge uncontrollably, as if it might burst out at any moment.

If the blood flowed backward, the body would decay, and how could the True Yuan circulate normally? Therefore, everyone had to divert their attention to suppress the blood, making the fight against the Blood Demon Lord feel like they were tying one arm behind their back, which was quite frustrating.

The Golden Core True Man could rely on his cultivation to suppress his essence and blood from being manipulated by the opponent's magic skill, but Li Minghu couldn't withstand it and vomited several mouthfuls of blood.

Fearing she couldn't hold on, Yan Yu decisively used the Tai Qing Yuan Energy Mists to wrap her from head to toe and transported her to the edge of the battlefield.

Liu Longtao and Su Yunjin each used their Taoism Methods. The latter surrounded the site with Tianhe Water, compressing the Blood Demon Lord's movement space; the former fully activated the Five Dragons Touring the Sky Great Method, bombarding wildly, reducing the Blood Demon Lord to powder multiple times.

However, no matter how thoroughly he died, the Blood Demon Lord would always reform in the next second, making everyone feel disheartened.

Let those not lacking True Yuan handle the tough job. Yan Yu stood beside Chen Lingyun, not making a move, posing as if he was "focused on protecting his wife."

"Did you notice anything?" he asked Chen Lingyun directly, "To be honest, I've never seen an absolutely Undying Body. The so-called 'immortality' often has unique conditions. Once these conditions are unmet, the undying will shatter."

With the vast experiences from past lives as a guarantee, Yan Yu's judgment was naturally reliable.

"I think so too," Chen Lingyun said seriously, "I'm still observing."

"With your intelligence, shouldn't you be able to spot the flaws on the opponent with just one glance?" Yan Yu teased her intentionally, "How come you've suddenly turned stupid now?"

"Maybe I've been influenced by someone," Chen Lingyun said playfully.

"Influenced by whom... cough!" Yan Yu realized his slip and quickly changed the topic, "Do you think it has something to do with the environment? For example, he can draw an almost infinite amount of vitality from the surroundings, which allows him immortality under certain conditions?"

"It's possible," Chen Lingyun said, "but unlikely."

"What do you mean?" Yan Yu said unhappily, "Speak human language."

"If he's drawing vitality from somewhere, how does he do it?" Chen Lingyun questioned him in return, "Initially, his tail end was connected to the wall above, which could be understood as a contact absorption of essence and blood or something like that; now he's floating, could it be that he's transferring vitality through electromagnetic waves or something? Then I think it's better to assume this is just an avatar, and the body providing him with endless regeneration is actually the outside entity we see now, which is the original fleshy giant serpent,"

"The fleshy giant serpent is not the body," Yan Yu denied immediately, "The fleshy giant serpent can also regenerate endlessly."

"So it's possible, but not likely," Chen Lingyun raised an eyebrow, "I've already told you."

"I don't want to hear your logical word games," Yan Yu waved impatiently, "Hurry up and come up with a solution."

"You are such a willful boy," Chen Lingyun smiled and said, "When you encounter something you can't handle, you directly come to me for help, like treating me as a mother?"

"Letting you be a mom is not impossible, but it shouldn't be," Yan Yu mimicked her tone, "Let's see how you perform."

"Hmph," Chen Lingyun suddenly had a light bulb moment, "Call me mom next time, and I'll help you this time."

"I said it's not possible," Yan Yu said irritably, "Why are your interests getting weirder and weirder? Can't you just stop being a pervert?"

"Dang Old Yan, could you two stop flirting and wasting time!" Lord Master suddenly shouted, "I'm using up my True Yuan like a stock index trying to suppress this bastard's regenerative ability!"

Seeing Yun Jin also turn with a look for help, Chen Lingyun took out the Nine Heavens Yin Demon Prison Banner and gently shook it, summoning the Black and White Impermanence, the two Yin Gods.

No one knows how many ghosts they had devoured in the Underworld, they emerged with restrained Divine Light and full of Yin Qi, greeted Chen Lingyun first, then attacked the Demon Lord with Soul Arresting Chain and Soul-hooking Dark Light.

The Blood Demon Lord, originally ignoring the Five Dragons Touring the Sky's frontal bombardment, now showed a hint of fear, swiftly retreating to avoid the attack.

Su Yunjin immediately manipulated the Taoist Incantation to block the retreat with Tianhe Water.

If he got trapped in water, he would be suppressed and slowed by the flow. The Demon Lord could only stop his steps, with nowhere to maneuver around. He hesitated slightly and got hit by the Soul Arresting Chain and Soul-hooking Dark Light, immobilizing him instantly.

Everyone immediately felt invigorated. Having now controlled this Demon Lord, they could slowly study ways to kill him without expending so much True Yuan.

Liu Longtao swaggered forward, looked at the immobilized Demon Lord, and sneered,

"What is this neither man nor woman thing? I can fight ten of them!"

"Then should I let him go and let you have at it?" Chen Lingyun asked with a smile.

"No need!" Liu Longtao waved his hand arrogantly and said, "He's not in full form now; defeating him now is not honorable, not meaningful!"

"Then you could fight with only a tenth of your True Yuan," Yan Yu joined the fun and said jokingly.

"Eh, where's Li Minghu?" Liu Longtao couldn't respond to that and chose to play dumb, "It's all done, let her come over."

Now that there was no danger, Li Minghu didn't need to be excluded. She returned to the group, observed the Demon Lord carefully for a moment, and asked,

"So now we need to figure out where his endless regenerative vitality comes from, right?"

"We can slowly experiment on him," Liu Longtao said, "if we run enough tests, we'll figure it out eventually."

"Taking it slow doesn't seem appropriate," Su Yunjin gently suggested, "There are not just this one giant snake monster around the world; one has even reached Bohai, so we better solve it quickly."

"You're right," Liu Longtao felt it was inappropriate to joke further and threw a glance at Yan Yu, implying 'ask your wife.'

"What does everyone think?" Yan Yu cleared his throat and asked.

"We can try cutting him and then dispersing him," Li Minghu suggested, "If the different parts of the body are separated and can't reassemble, maybe it won't regenerate."

"No need to be so troublesome." Chen Lingyun planted the Prison Banner on the ground, from which a faint, extremely dark wisp of Yin Qi drifted slowly over.

The Demon Lord, who had previously shown no expression, now, faced with this wisp of Yin Qi, suddenly showed a look of fear and despair, as if it were something extremely terrifying.

"Hmm." An inspiration flashed in Yan Yu's mind, and he quietly transmitted, asking Chen Lingyun, "Is it the Qi of Taiyin?"

"Correct," Chen Lingyun admitted calmly.

"Isn't Hell abandoned?" Yan Yu became interested, "This stuff only exists deep in Hell, right? How did you collect the Qi of Taiyin? Plus, the Prison Banner shouldn't be able to store this stuff."

"It's quite simple," Chen Lingyun replied, "Use the Nine Heavens Yin Demon God Seal as a binding container, collect a little each time in Hell, and then use it to refine the Prison Banner."

"Once the Prison Banner is roughly refined with the Qi of Taiyin, storing things won't be a problem."

"That takes a long time and meticulous effort..." Yan Yu finally realized, "So you frequently took leave to go out before Crossing Tribulation to do this?"

"For us Necromancers, the function of the Soul Summoning Banner is like Elf Balls to a Trainer," Chen Lingyun said blandly, "With a Master Ball, who would use a Great Ball? You always need to upgrade."

At the rank of a Golden Core True Man, it's impossible to collect high-purity Qi of Taiyin. What Chen Lingyun has at hand can only be considered a mixture containing a trace amount of Qi of Taiyin, but even that trace is enough. After all, 'lonely Yin cannot thrive,' this Yin Qi, having been immersed in Hell for who knows how many years, is the nemesis of all living things in the world. Even a demon beast with vigorous vitality would face complete physical destruction from a mere trace.

Even if the Blood Demon Lord's vitality is seemingly infinite, it can't withstand something that directly targets life. It is directly restrained to death by the very laws of nature.

As the Yin Qi gradually approached, one could see the Blood Demon Lord's skin beginning to crack rapidly, turning white and brittle, falling into scattering fragments.

He did not regenerate further.

As the Blood Demon Lord gradually approached death, the surrounding walls of flesh and blood also began to wither slowly. The blood vessels no longer throbbed, and the muscles stopped contracting, as if the entire giant serpent of flesh and blood was turning to dust, utterly bereft of life, polluted by the Hellish Yin Qi.

The cultivators calmly watched her perform the Secret Technique, until the Demon Lord, who once possessed an Undying Body, completely lost his physical form, leaving only a heart in his chest that kept beating.

Chen Lingyun suddenly summoned the Prison Banner, withdrawing the Yin Qi and the heart together into the banner, then said pensively:

"Life force that seems infinite is actually finite. For every life it devours in the real world, it accumulates that life force within itself."

"So if we repeatedly kill that Demon Lord," Liu Longtao suddenly understood, "If we kill it enough times, it will still die."

"So it's just a counterfeit Undying Body," Su Yunjin also realized.

"Such massive life force, destroying it completely is too wasteful," Chen Lingyun looked at Yan Yu and continued, "Let's keep it for research; it should have some use."

"Thank you very much," Li Minghu suddenly said.

"You're welcome," Chen Lingyun smiled.

Everyone understood why this heart, which had absorbed countless life forces, was deliberately kept by Chen Lingyun. If it could help Li Minghu reconstruct his body and fix the congenital imbalance of the Five Elements within him, the gratitude would be equivalent to being reborn by one's parents.

Li Minghu clearly expressed his gratitude to her, would this lead to a change in the balance of power within the harem?

Yan Yu's thoughts suddenly leaped infinitely at this moment, then settled back down.

It wouldn't.

Because Chen Lingyun is firmly a member of the harem faction. Rather than worry about her splitting the harem, it's more meaningful to think about how to guard against her stirring up trouble and making things awkward for fun.

After the Demon Lord's heart was taken, the world within the belly began to collapse. In no time, they were all transported back to the real world, where they heard the heavy mournful cry from the distant, unseen giant serpent.

This sound directly acted on their Divine Sense, filled with tremendous sadness and despair, making the cultivators silently wary and cautious.

"If I didn't sense incorrectly just now," Chen Lingyun suddenly said, "The previous Blood Demon Lord didn't have a complete soul inside, just a fragment of a soul."

"A fragment?" Yan Yu asked in surprise, "Are you saying Shenyuan Simie split his own soul into eight pieces to control Orochi?"

"What kind of Voldemort behavior?" Liu Longtao laughed, "Is he making Soul Devices here?"

"It seems to be just controlling Orochi," Chen Lingyun said quietly, "The grander the blood sacrifice, the higher Orochi's realm and rank. A single Golden Core-level Onmyoji can't control it. Splitting Orochi into eight might also be to reduce the difficulty of control."

"I have a question," Su Yunjin spoke up, "But if he splits his own soul into eight, doesn't that reduce his control ability?"

"That's exactly what I find strange," Chen Lingyun pondered.

"Maybe it's just to Cosplay," Liu Longtao said nonchalantly, "Aren't the Chongying people very fond of Cosplaying 2D?"

"I think Voldemort probably doesn't count as 2D," Yan Yu said, "But I agree with the Lord Master's statement, analyzing the thoughts of someone mentally abnormal, it's hard to arrive at a normal conclusion."

"Let's go, let's return to Lu Country."
