My Beasts Grind Proficiency For Me

Chapter 540 - 54: Diverting the Disaster

For Outer Celestial Demons, the bodies of Cultivators, tempered by Magical Power, were a first-rate feast. And the Nascent Soul, formed from the entirety of a Nascent Soul Cultivator’s Magical Power, was an even greater tonic, far surpassing all manner of Spirit Pills and Miracle Elixirs.

Even a Demon King like the Moon Demon King had only consumed a handful of Nascent Souls.

Yang Jing glanced at Danxia True Monarch and the Blood Gu Elder on the ground. They wore simple hemp robes, their Magical Treasures and Storage Bags long since plundered. They were in a wretched state, having lost all the dignity of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Offered up as tribute by the six Nascent Soul Old Demons, they naturally knew what fate awaited them. But with their Magical Power sealed, they couldn’t even struggle. Only their eyes ceaselessly betrayed their terror.

"Not bad! Two fine meals."

Yang Jing feigned a satisfied nod.

"You may select six treasures from my vault."

The Moon Demon King’s vault still held many treasures, which Yang Jing was now generously giving away at another’s expense.

The Celestial Cicada Old Demon chuckled obsequiously.

"It is enough that the Demon King is pleased with this gift. We do not ask for treasures from the vault, only that the Demon King grant us an opportunity to trade for the Xuyu Coral."

After the Celestial Cicada Old Demon finished speaking, the other five Old Demons fixed their gazes on Yang Jing.

Yang Jing shook his head.

"I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. There were no Life-Extending Elixirs or Xuyu Coral in that Pill Furnace. Inside was the corpse of a Snake Demon. Its Essence Blood was abundant, and I swallowed it in one gulp. This Snake Demon was extraordinary; even I benefited greatly from consuming it. I must now enter seclusion to advance my Cultivation."

Danxia True Monarch, who had been utterly dejected, seemed to go mad upon hearing Yang Jing’s words and began to struggle violently.

The Lock Chains binding her scraped raw wounds into her tender, well-kept skin.

The six Nascent Soul Old Demons exchanged a look. After capturing Danxia True Monarch, they had naturally seized the opportunity to interrogate her ruthlessly.

Subjected to the Demon Sect’s various torture methods, Danxia True Monarch, an Alchemist accustomed to a life of comfort, naturally couldn’t hold out. She had spilled the entire story, like beans from a bamboo tube.

The Nascent Soul Old Demons hadn’t believed her, of course. They thought that to put them off, Danxia True Monarch had fabricated a story about Innate Chaotic Qi.

But judging by what the Moon Demon King had just said, this Innate Chaotic Qi might not have been a baseless rumor after all.

’If it could greatly benefit the Moon Demon King, whose Cultivation is already nearing the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, how could it possibly be an ordinary treasure?’

Yang Di Old Demon struck in an instant. He shot out a beam of demonic light, killing Danxia True Monarch in a single blow and obliterating the consciousness of her Nascent Soul, lest her loose tongue make the Moon Demon King suspicious.

Before Yang Jing could speak, Yang Di Old Demon adopted a crestfallen expression and said,

"So that’s how it is. To think we six schemed for so long, only for it to be all for nothing. And we were played for fools by this old slave. I acted too quickly and killed her to vent my anger. I hope the Demon King can forgive me."

The six Nascent Soul Old Demons followed an attendant Moon Demon into the Moon Demon King’s vault, selected six treasures, and departed in a hurry.

If it truly was Innate Chaotic Qi capable of helping a Nascent Soul Cultivator break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, then even if the Moon Demon King had already consumed it, they had to find a way to take him down and refine the Innate Chaotic Qi out of him.

A Celestial and Earthly Treasure of that Level wasn’t so easily refined.

As for the immense future trouble of provoking an Outer Celestial Demon of the Demon King Level, it was nothing compared to the opportunity to reach Divinity Transformation.

Across all Four Great Demon Sects, there were only two Divinity Transformation experts. If one of them could advance to that realm, not even their own Sects would dare to trouble them. Even the Outer Celestial Demons would have to hold their noses and try to win them over.

However, the Moon Demon King was no Jade Poison Great Saint. If the battle dragged on, other Demon Kings from other Demon Realms would surely come to his aid.

But the Moon Demon King’s Power was only a notch below that of the Jade Poison Great Saint.

The six of them had only managed to defeat the Jade Poison Great Saint by working together, and he had still escaped. Now, all six had suffered injuries of varying severity, had used up some of their trump cards, and their combat strength had dropped significantly.

Capturing the Moon Demon King would be harder than hard.

"Our greatest advantage is that the Moon Demon King doesn’t know we’re planning to move against him. If we can find an opportunity for him to lower his guard and launch a sneak attack, we can definitely take him down!" the Celestial Cicada Old Demon said, his eyes glinting.

Their Demon Sects had no shortage of methods for dealing with Outer Celestial Demons.

"My Southern Demon Sect has a Secret Technique called the Seven Extremes Demon-Locking Technique. It requires seven Demon Cultivators of comparable Cultivation to execute in concert. But with our level of Cultivation, even with one person missing, its power will only be slightly diminished."

This Secret Technique was originally created for Sect Disciples to subdue summoned Outer Celestial Demons. While it couldn’t compare to the Western Demon Sect’s Magical Treasure, the Demon-Catching Tripod, it was still a top-tier Demon-Banning Technique.

The six Nascent Soul Old Demons immediately concealed their tracks and hid within the Demon Realm, secretly practicing the Seven Extremes Demon-Locking Technique.

With their profound Cultivation, their practice of this Secret Technique was naturally extremely fast.

One day, the ground suddenly shook violently. The rock strata, saturated with Demonic Qi for tens of thousands of years and as hard as iron, rippled like water.

The next moment, an undercurrent in the sea of qi howled toward them like a storm, carrying all sorts of debris and severed limbs.

The sudden change stunned the six Nascent Soul Old Demons. They flew out from their hiding place and discovered that the epicenter of the explosion was none other than the Moon Demon King’s Demon Palace.

Several breaths had already passed, yet the All Heaven Demon Fire still burned fiercely over the Moon Demon King’s Demon Palace. The Demon Fire and the Taiyin Demon Qi acted as Yin and Yang, stimulating each other and triggering wave after wave of violent explosions. Each blast was equivalent to a strike from a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

The once-sturdy Demon Palace was completely leveled by the chain of explosions. The massive annihilation and consumption of Demonic Qi even caused the world membrane of the Nine Heavens World to compress inward toward the Demon Realm.

"What’s going on?! Could the news have been leaked?!"

The White Bone Demon’s physical body was the strongest; he directly braved the violent explosions and flew toward the Demon Palace.

"Could it be that old fiend, Jade Poison?"

The others instantly realized it. Besides Danxia True Monarch, the Jade Poison Great Saint also knew about the Innate Chaotic Qi. But how did he know it had fallen into the Moon Demon King’s hands?

Just as they were wondering, a great shout suddenly echoed through the Demon Realm:

"You lot have some nerve, daring to attack a Demon King! King Ju Mei, help me take them down!"

Two towering Outer Celestial Demons, like small mountains, were flying over from the distance. The leading Demon King saw the scene, immediately tossed the Moon Demon who had tipped him off behind him, and transformed into a streak of demonic light to capture the six Nascent Soul Old Demons.

How could the White Bone Demon and his five companions surrender without a fight? The two sides instantly fell into a chaotic battle of cat and mouse. The fighting was even more intense than before.

Both sides, locked in a life-or-death struggle, failed to notice an incredibly faint glimmer of Spiritual Light escaping deep underground.
