Chapter 492: Demon Spirit
Chapter 492: Demon Spirit
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Although the might of a True Divine could easily overpower normal demons, this did not include Demon Spirits!
After the high-pitched exclamation, 10 odd-looking Demon Spirits appeared at once before targeting the group of them.
"These beasts are being led by a sentient being!"
With a laugh, Fang Yuan struck his fist out. "Chaos Divine Fist!"
"Rumble!"
The giant behind him struck its fist out as though it attempted to split the earth beneath its feet. An illusionary spiritual territory appeared, trapping 10 over Demon Spirits within it.
After a huge explosion, the Demon Spirits disintegrated, turning into a current of air. Even the weakest of their wills were being crushed by Fang Yuan's martial arts willpower, giving it no chance to revive.
"I've found you!"
Fang Yuan hurriedly made his way 300 yards into the swarm of Demon Spirits and disappeared among them.
"Chirp! Chirp!"
A sharp voice was heard once more and the demons around started to surround Fang Yuan without fear.
"Get lost!"
The Chaos Giant roared once more and the low-tiered demons were shocked to death.
The earth beneath them sunk down and there was a visible crater.
A few more unique-looking demons were surrounding what seemed to be a silhouette in them.
Fang Yuan was confused for the simple fact that the leader of these beasts had the form of a human.
"A demon in the form of a human?"
He walked forward and in a single leap, he arrived before this demon.
"Sikutumen, Moderik!"
Seeing Fang Yuan making his way in, the human-formed demon opened his mouth and mumbled something which sounded like a curse.
In an instant, two huge and black illusionary hands appeared in mid-air. Eyes lined the black hands and all of them were glaring at Fang Yuan.
"Roar! Roar!"
The two-headed demons guarding the human-form demon roared in anger. Flesh started to grow out from their back before exploding, revealing their true form: 3-headed 6-armed giants. Without hesitation, they rushed towards Fang Yuan.
The human-form leader nimbly leapt onto a carpet with wings as though it was about to flee.
"Screech!"
The eyes on the hands opened up and shot out a streak of light, which had the ability to slow, poison and corrode any adversary.
"This power... this makes him almost as powerful as a 9th Tier spiritual knight!"
Streaks of light landed on Fang Yuan's body but were swiftly deflected by a strong pulse of energy coming from Fang Yuan's blood.
With outstretched hands, Fang Yuan swung his claws out. "Heavenly Eagle Claw!"
"Screech!"
The giant hands fell to the ground in an instant.
The two 3-headed 6-armed demons were trapped by the fallen hands and could no longer move.
"Hadouken!"
Witnessing this scene, that human-form demon started to sound even weirder.
As he cursed, the flesh carpet started to flap its wings as it accelerated itself up into the sky.
"Come down!"
Fang Yuan brought his hands together and the Chaos Giant behind him mimicked his action. Full of energy, the two gigantic palms were forcefully clapped together.
"Buzz!"
The flesh carpet was caught in the giant's palm and was subsequently pressed on the ground.
"Are you still thinking of escaping?"
Fang Yuan walked up and grabbed the human-form demon.
The demon did not seem any different from a normal human being except for its dark skin and ruby-like eyes which glittered under the sun.
As it noticed Fang Yuan grabbing its arm, it smiled before it began to inflate like a balloon.
"Pop!"
It had chosen to kill itself and a black streak of energy shot away.
"I've said, no running away!"
In a flash, the giant hands seemed to have stretched beyond the boundaries of what was true and what was illusionary. It had directly held the black streak of energy in its hands which then transfigured into a black shadow.
Fang Yuan wiped off the sweat on his forehead. "It seems like you don't understand human language!"
He clenched his fist and struck squarely towards the black shadow's face. Silvery dream elemental force started to stain Fang Yuan's fist as the black shadow wailed in pain.
"Moyana! Moyana!"
"Human language, I say!"
Fang Yuan continued to brutally assault it to the point where it was on the brink of death. "If you don't speak human language, you shall die!"
"St... stop!"
A hoarse voice sounded in Fang Yuan's spiritual will. It was a very simple tone as though a kid was still learning how to speak.
"Look at you, if you've tried earlier all of these wouldn't have happened!"
Fang Yuan kept his fist and gazed at the black shadow. "Don't try to run or I'll give you another beating!"
"I... I dare not!"
This black shadow transformed into the form of a Demon Spirit. He was a skinny-looking boy with a pair of black wings. With fear, he gazed towards Fang Yuan and especially at Fang Yuan's fist.
"What is your name?"
"I... I cannot say!"
"You're courting death!"
Fang Yuan turned serious and swung his fist up.
"Rumble! Rumble!"
The ground shook and even Liu Mengmei and Extreme Darkness couldn't bear to witness the scene.
This was no longer a fight but a bullying session.
Finally, before the Demon Spirit was about to dissipate, a weak voice was heard in Fang Yuan's consciousness. "Motana Aligu Saya Todoker..."
This name was extremely long with a more than 30 syllables. Reading the name was like reading a chant.
As soon as Fang Yuan heard its name, he felt as though he was now able to control the life and death of this Demon Spirit, commanding it to do whatever he wished.
"Now I know! It seems that you guys are similar to the evil demons in the legends. If anyone were to know your name, you will become enslaved to that person!"
He gazed at the shuddering Demon Spirit and casually commanded it. "I'll call you Ado. Why are you attacking this place?"
"Because... there's delicious food here..."
Ado the Demon Spirit shuddered as he replied Fang Yuan. "Only by eating will we be able to become stronger..."
It was evident that this demon was new. Although it had eaten quite a number of humans, it was still not fluent in the language of Da Qian.
However, Fang Yuan was patient and after a few exchanges, he could finally understand what it was trying to say.
According to Ado, it was originally a lowly You Spirit of the Demonic Heart Realm. At the opening of the Bone Door, it was sucked into this realm. It had gained the ability to think for itself and even had a name after eating quite a sizeable number of humans.
As long as there was enough food for them, any You Spirit would be able to evolve into potentially anything.
Therefore, after detecting all the 'delicious food' here, Ado decided to lead the other Demon Spirits and formed a demon army to surround the Divine Lotus Heavenly Pond.
To normal demons, the fear and flesh of normal humans were the best types of food. However, if any high-tiered Demon Spirit wanted to evolve, it would require food of even higher quality!
For instance, a high-tiered cultivator!
"Therefore, you started to eye this place. You are quite smart!"
"Do we have a lot of beings like you in this world?" Fang Yuan went straight to the point.
"With enough time and energy, any Demon Spirit will be able to achieve what I am and from there gain the ability to lead and control other low-tiered Demon Spirits!"
According to Ado, the Demonic Heart Realm was a harsh realm and high-tiered demons would be able to do anything to low-tiered demons.
After evolving, Ado had gained new knowledge and had newfound wisdom. Finally, he had achieved a higher status for himself.
Unfortunately for him, he was now under Fang Yuan's control.
"In the Demonic Heart Realm, normal demons and Demon Spirits are expendable. What cultivation level are you at right now?"
"Modor! If I were to translate it, it should be the level of 'elemental force' in Da Qian."
Ado was extremely careful with his words. It seemed that he had already consumed a few cultivators who had obtained elemental force.
'Is this the power of the Demonic Heart Realm? A small fry who had just achieved an increase in cultivation is already comparable to a powerful Elemental Opening spiritual knight or Meridian Opening Wu Zong?'
Fang Yuan took in a deep breath as he mulled over the differences between the cultivators from the different realms.
"A final question! Do you recognise this name?"
Thinking about it, Fang Yuan started to draw in mid-air, forming a 3-dimensional rune which resembled a bunch of 3 flowers.
"Eh?"
Ado was shocked and quickly replied. "This is a character in the language of the Demonic Heart Realm. I have knowledge of this. This word means 'the heart of a flower'."
"Very good! You're quite useful. You shall follow me next time!"
Fang Yuan nodded head and was elated. He knew that he could finally translate all the documents and scriptures which Shang Hou had left behind.
"Yes... Master!"
Ado gazed at the two ladies behind and licked his lips. "Can I eat them?"
"No! Unless I allow, you are not to eat anybody! Otherwise, I will beat you to death!"
Fang Yuan twitched his eyebrows. He knew that after scaring Ado, he had to use rewards to motivate him. "Of course... If you are obedient, I will supply you with the energy you need."
"Yes, Master!"
Ado nodded his head innocently as he bit his tongue while gazing at Liu Mengmei.
Such an overbearing demon was only a form of entertainment in the eyes of the powerful.
However, Fang Yuan did not let his guard down.
'Looking at how things are, powerful beings will ultimately evolve from a Demon Spirit if there is enough time. However, the bad thing is that they seem to populate too quickly and are widespread around Da Qian now. It seems like there is no way to get rid of them... The future of mankind seems bleak.'
It was useless to think about all these. Fang Yuan quickly ordered Ado to regain control of the other demons and create a path for his group.
Originally, it would be an arduous task to force a path. However, with Ado's help, everything became simple.
As long as Ado could command its army to surround them at all times, the group of them would be able to avoid a lot of problems while travelling.
If no other demons were stronger than Ado, Ado would be able to easily control the entire army.
"Master, your plan is extremely feasible!"
After hearing Fang Yuan's plan, Ado nodded his head but appeared a little worried. "I would like to create another body. Can I use that?"
A demon bit a corpse in its mouth and dragged it over. It was the corpse of Elder Green Lotus.
"Your taste is rather good. You may use him!"
Fang Yuan nodded his head.
After getting permission from Fang Yuan, Ado turned into a black streak of energy and seeped into Elder Green Lotus.
"Crack!"
A cracking sound was heard from the corpse. The dead corpse started to stand on its feet and its skin started to turn black.
"Is this how Inner Demons possess?"
Fang Yuan frowned as he tossed a bamboo hat over. "Your looks are too scary. From today onwards, follow me closely and never reveal your looks."
"Yes, Master!"
Ado replied with fear and a hint of unjust in his voice.
