Chapter 762: Blood Refining Kunlun
The Stone God Palace Master told Shi Feiyang how he ascended the Stone God Palace together to the Heaven of Self-Transformation.
Actually, it was quite simple; he used his own blood to soak every inch of stone and soil of the Stone God Palace, and then used the Blood Demon Great Method to refine the entire Stone God Palace.
In the end, the Stone God Palace merged into his Blood Demon Incarnation and became part of his body!
Because he ascended to the Heaven of Self-Transformation, rather than reborn there, the Blood Demon Incarnation cultivated over the ages remained, and naturally, the Stone God Palace followed along.
From his perspective, the Stone God Palace became part of his body, and from another angle, he also became the Artifact Spirit of the Stone God Palace...
Their sect has a tradition of establishing hells, and he built a Five Elements Hell within the Stone God Palace, imprisoning many demonic evil spirits he had encountered in the past, including self-refined Divine Demons and enemies who sinned against him. These Divine Demons became "parasites" within him, and they too followed him to the Heaven of Self-Transformation.
Shi Feiyang wanted to hear this because his situation bears similarities to the Stone God Palace Master, though what he plans to do is much bigger, many times more difficult!
He only needs to understand the principles; the specific methods are unnecessary, just like whether the Silver Cicada Treasure Scroll exists is not important, as long as he obtains the nine Spirit Talismans.
Having achieved his goals, the Stone God Palace Master advised him to relent and spare the Demon King Bodhi.
Shi Feiyang made Bodhi swear to the Blood Demon God Spell: "In the future, if he or any of his Heavenly Demons are summoned against me or anyone related to me, they must not respond! If my enemies summon them to deal with me, he must immediately backlash against them... They shall not entertain any thought of harm against me or my people, lest they fall into Avici Hell, otherwise they must come to me through this book!"
He imposed nine prohibitions on Bodhi, infuriating Bodhi, but there was no other way to conclude it.
E Shengfan is no weakling; a Great Demon who battled the Absolute Venerable for many years, long capable of ascending to the Demon Realm, only delayed by needing to find a substitute due to the limitations of the Demon Scripture. He later learned the entire Demonic Destruction Treasure Record from Xin Ru Nun, elevating his power far beyond his previous mentors who tricked him into the Demon Scripture.
Though Shi Feiyang's mana surpassed him greatly, capturing him wasn't that easy, solely due to his connection with the Blood Demon Scripture.
The main reason lies in the vows he made when cultivating the Demon Scripture in the past.
This time, with Shi Feiyang's distant support, he was full of vigor, rendering Bodhi's various demon spells ineffective. Using the Absolute Venerable's Eighty-Eight Hand Demon Extermination Technique, he beat Bodhi fearfully, leaving him unable to cope, finding his teeth on the ground. The Absolute Venerable's methods were exceptionally fierce, adept in creating ways to exterminate demons, wiping out all demons, including Yin Demons, Heavenly Demons, and so forth; Bodhi was also among those to be exterminated.
Since Bodhi was one of the most renowned Great Demon Kings among the Three Realms and Six Paths, many Buddhist scriptures mention his name in relation to demon extermination. The Demonic Destruction Treasure Record mentions him frequently, advising: "If Demon King Bodhi leads countless demon armies to attack the heart and besiege the form, disrupt the awareness... one should immediately recite and recall the Buddha, using Buddha Light to reflect inwards, purifying their thoughts, then cast the formless Demonic Destruction Divine Light of Maha Six Paramitas upon them, their thoughts like diamonds, light like sharp pestles, instantly crushing the demon army..."
E Shengfan practiced both Buddhist and Demon methods, originally hindering one another, but Shi Feiyang's support enabled him to harmonize them, wielding the Eighty-Eight Hand Demon Extermination Technique at will, spontaneous in attack, making Bodhi unable to resist even as the Heavenly Lord of the Desire Realm, with many spells counteracted.
He was beaten to the point of helplessness, finally swearing an oath upon the Stone God Palace Master's persuasion.
In fact, he dared not trouble Shi Feiyang again; anyone who summoned him to battle Shi Feiyang in the Lower Realm would also face immediate retribution...
He could only wait for a downturn in Shi Feiyang's fortunes to seek revenge, but the oath completely ended this possibility.
Henceforth, Shi Feiyang and all those under him would not suffer attacks from these Heavenly Demons, even during Demon Tribulations. Demonic forces from other worlds might still invade, but those under Bodhi would not, eliminating many obstacles invisibly.
Upon Bodhi completing his vow, Shi Feiyang bid farewell to the Stone God Palace Master and the Demon King. The Blood Demon God Spell sealing outside the Demon Palace automatically vanished, and E Shengfan was taken back to the Shushan World by Shi Feiyang.
E Shengfan returned to the Demon Scripture, like a pup currying favor from his master, bowing to Shi Feiyang: "Master, with great compassion, actually spared that demon. Otherwise, I would capture him to guard your home, at the front to protect the Dao field, as a guardian demon beast; wouldn't it be great?"
Shi Feiyang knew he was seeking merit, praised him: "You did well this time."
E Shengfan's performance was indeed beyond his expectation; he intended to send the Red Flower Princess had E Shengfan proved inadequate.
"You've made meritorious contributions this time; I shall not pursue the past crimes of betrayal. However, now this scripture names Red Flower Princess as the Sovereign Demon God, you may only serve as her left support."
E Shengfan was fortunate to escape punishment; unhappy about serving under the Red Flower Princess, though he begrudgingly flattered her, while she paid him no heed.
Shi Feiyang spoke to flip the Demon Scripture, separating the nine Silver Cicada Talismans, placing three at the beginning, three in the middle, and three at the end, each Talisman occupying a separate page.
In the future, when he finds time, Shi Feiyang plans to further study these nine Spirit Talismans, then annotate them, creating nine complementary incantations to incorporate, serving as the prohibition to seal and suppress all divine demons within the book.
By now, he has already captured at least a hundred thousand heavenly demons from the Heaven of Self-Transformation and sealed them inside.
He commanded the Red Flower Princess and E Shengfan: "You two help me collect all these demons!"
The two received the orders, and as Shi Feiyang held the book and chanted, they hovered above the pages, with the Red Flower Princess at the highest central position and E Shengfan slightly lower to her left, simultaneously casting spells.
All who had once sworn before the Demon Scripture to reincarnate into it felt the summons. They hurriedly exert full effort to resist, but soon the Arhat Golden Body bestowed by Xin Ru Buddha cracked open like E Shengfan before them, spraying blood, and those with weak mana transformed into Demon Light, rushing into the Demon Scripture.
"You insolent things, your master calls, yet you dare resist and not return!"
The Red Flower Princess chastised sternly. Though her voice was not loud, it directly impacted everyone's psyche. Subsequently, red flower blood demon curse marks appeared on their foreheads, imprinted on their souls, making them unable to resist any longer. Like fish returning to the sea, they involuntarily flew toward the Demon Scripture.
Ji Fan and Wei Fengniang, seeing Shi Feiyang collect E Shengfan, knew it was bad and tried to flee, but were restricted by the Fetus Burial Array, unable to leave Jiuhua Mountain.
They had also sworn to reincarnate into the Great Ru Pure Land. Since they couldn't escape, they hurriedly prayed to Xin Ru Buddha for assistance, but it was to no avail. Soon, red flower curse marks appeared on their foreheads as well, and they too were collected from afar.
In an instant, all escaping soul bodies from the "Demon God Scripture" were collected back into the new "Blood Demon True Scripture."
Then, as Shi Feiyang closed the Demon Scripture and prepared for the next step, a sudden sensation of crisis crossed his mind.
In the past, Xin Ru captured the Black Spirit Pearl, using its relationship with the "Demon God Scripture" and E Shengfan as an heir to forcibly pull E Shengfan out of the "Demon God Scripture," making him vow to reincarnate into the "Demonic Destruction Treasure Record."
The old nun had long known this method couldn't fully release E Shengfan's prohibition, and foresaw Shi Feiyang would eventually come to reclaim him into the scripture.
Thus, she had another plan. As E Shengfan transformed into blood qi and was collected into the "Blood Demon True Scripture," a cliff in West Kunlun suddenly exploded, and a stream of golden light flew skyward, like a meteor heading toward the Star Constellations Sea.
On the Star Constellations Sea, the Princess of Stone God was assisting Deng Yin in hosting the ceremony on the "Blood God Scripture."
They were engaging in a distant duel with the Giant Wood God, who was always at a disadvantage due to his support from the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits, the Giant Wood God had merged his wood qi with Taishan.
Taishan, as East Mountain, is indeed the foremost among the Five Mountains, able to withstand the Yellow River's scourge, forcing it to repeatedly change course to flow around it, truly being Taishan Barrier.
Its strength connects to the heavens and reaches the Nine Hells, originally governing the afterlife of Central Plains humanity, with emperors conducting heaven-worship ceremonies here.
Located in the east, its element is wood, complementing the Giant Wood God's attribute. It seemed he was taking root, his primordial qi merged with Taishan, linking earth veins below and supported above by Grand Saint of Nine Spirits, standing invincible.
After deliberating, Deng Yin and Princess of Stone God decided they need to refine a mountain stronger than Taishan to counter the Giant Wood God!
In the Central Earth Continent, only the ancestral mountain, Kunlun Mountain, can firmly suppress Taishan. They planned to conduct a ritual to blood refine Kunlun!
Transforming the entire Kunlun Mountain into a "Blood Mountain," ready to battle the Giant Wood God, ensuring victory!
As they led a group of Blood Shadows casting spells, suddenly, a golden light shot from the distant sky like cannon fire, sensed by all demons as originating from a genuine Buddhist Great Method!
Fortunately, there was no malice, so they did not block it, allowing the Buddha Light to approach.
Within the Buddha Light was a scripture, which when opened, revealed the four gilded characters "Demonic Destruction Treasure Record"!
It contained various demonic destruction techniques.
The Buddhist scripture arrived, and the Princess of Stone God and Deng Yin exchanged astonished glances. At their level, many words need not be spoken; seeing the item revealed the message between them.
