Master of Strange Dao

Chapter 1600 - 429: Leave a Button, Strange Sword Draw

Even if he died, it was simply because his strength was inferior and he went looking for trouble, nothing much to say.Instead, he felt a great resentment towards Jiu Nian, even though a contract had been agreed upon, Jiu Nian completely ignored it.

Even if he eventually faces death, Jiu Nian shouldn't expect a smooth time.

The Black Mountain Demon King gritted his teeth and lay flat.

"I agreed."

Yu Ziqing furrowed his brows, his face lengthening.

"Don't waste time, hurry up."

On Black Stone Mountain, a Black Stone Man slowly emerged, transforming into a man with a dark face, skin resembling stone.

He took off his head, and inside the cracked head, the Demon Soul appeared, a thing like a cloud of black mist.

The Black Mountain Demon King directly pushed the cracked head and Demon Soul, allowing them to drift towards Yu Ziqing.

Yu Ziqing now would back out and destroy his Demon Soul, which he accepted.

After all, dying like this was better than being refined to death.

Yu Ziqing didn't make any other moves, nor feared the Black Mountain Demon King's Demon Soul suddenly possessing him; he would rather it happened, it would save him trouble.

He extended a hand to touch the Demon Soul.

At this moment, the Black Mountain Demon King spoke again.

"I don't want to be refined alive."

Yu Ziqing couldn't help but look a bit higher at the Black Mountain Demon King; this guy actually understood a bit.

"Alright."

Yu Ziqing nodded without saying more.

All defenses on the Demon Soul were removed, at the instant Yu Ziqing touched it, he could directly connect to the core elements of the Demon Soul, and the Black Mountain Demon King's memories were also connected to.

Starting from the most ancient memories, when the Black Mountain Demon King first gained a trace of spiritual wisdom, Black Mountain had already existed for an unknowable duration.

This mountain was buried beneath the earth and appeared indistinguishable from the surrounding rocks.

He saw how the consciousness of the Black Mountain Demon King emerged, due to a Jade Token.

The Black Mountain Demon King did not recognize it, but Yu Ziqing realized it was a Summoning.

Earth Deity Summoning.

The owner of the Summoning was no longer, and the Summoning itself should have already lost its power.

Yet, a trace of charm remained, combined with Black Mountain, by chance, birthed a trace of spirituality, nurturing a thread of spiritual wisdom.

This thread of spiritual wisdom could be considered nurtured by Black Mountain or not.

Gradually, as time passed, this spiritual wisdom grew stronger, and over time, with demon clan members occasionally falling on the surface, demon qi and qi-blood began seeping underground.

Absorbing this demon qi, the thread of spiritual wisdom formally started the Demon Transformation.

In the subsequent long years, nothing special happened, most of the time was unchanging, slowly accumulating.

When the Transformation Thunder Tribulation appeared, the Black Mountain Demon King realized his Black Mountain body couldn't transform, to shape-shift, he had to escape his physical constraints.

He emerged, never left the territory, over time, after transformation, his strength grew rapidly, becoming increasingly formidable, gradually dominating here.

Then he gathered the demon clan here, consolidated the ghost creatures within the territory, occupied a region, becoming a Demon King.

Until one day, a message came from the Immovable Immortal Dynasty about hungry ghosts, sweet rain, and banishing Devil Thought.

His subordinate Great Fierce Ghost told him about this message and the Immovable Immortal Dynasty's vision.

With the hungry ghosts and sweet rain, in the future days of the Immovable Immortal Dynasty, those powerful individuals, or those hoping to become powerful Great Cultivators, probably wouldn't fall due to Devilic incidents anymore.

Even within the demon clan, there might no longer be Great Demons losing their reason by Devilic transformation.

The Immovable Immortal Dynasty and the demon clan, especially the lineage of the Demon Emperor, in the following thousand years might experience an explosion.

It'd be a time when Great Cultivators are as common as dogs, Ninth Tier rampant.

The Black Mountain Demon King began to feel anxious, because his body restricted him, he couldn't soar like others, but his body had another advantage.

He didn't worry about Devilic, demonic qi, demon qi, or ghost qi could all be utilized as power.

With the Great Fierce Ghost constantly encouraging, the awakened Demon King stirring things up, the Black Mountain Demon King was emboldened.

And he didn't even think much of that small group of hungry ghosts, to be prudent, still sent two Demon Kings to act personally.

As long as he killed that group of hungry ghosts, he would restore the original balance and could continue to sit quietly in the territory, slowly accumulating power.

Relying on a surprisingly lengthy lifespan, to slowly outlast all opponents.

Everything went smoothly, entering the Immovable Immortal Dynasty was smooth, someone assisted secretly.

Other demon clans didn't obstruct.

But then, things spiraled downhill; Jiu Nian appeared; the Black Mountain Demon King wasn't afraid of transforming into a Devil or afraid of demonic qi, he wanted to borrow Jiu Nian's power.

Clearly, he underestimated the backing of these hungry ghosts, underestimated their power and ability; his body could even be forcibly refined.

Yu Ziqing quickly looked through the Black Mountain Demon King's memories; as soon as he withdrew his hand, he noticed the rust on the rusty sword in his arms began to fall off.

He didn't draw the sword; indeed intending to trace information from the Black Mountain Demon King's memories, meanwhile securing an insurance.

He carefully examined the last segment, it appeared without issues, but this decision didn't match the Black Mountain Demon King's usual way of doing things; reasonably, he shouldn't have been the one to stick his neck out.

Yet he did.

Later, he'd go ask that Fierce Ghost, just had to perform an experiment.

Yu Ziqing pushed the stone head and Demon Soul out, allowing it to return.

"Will you sever the connection with your body yourself, or should I assist?"
