Chapter 494 - Inner Core Formation
“Hmm?”
At the back mountain from Ethereal’s main peak, the old immortal crane felt something and jolted awake from her meditation cultivation.
More than ten days ago, Ethereal Peak experienced a calamity and suffered immense losses. Up till now, many cultivators were still healing and had not recovered completely.
Even though the old immortal crane was in cultivation, she was paying attention to any activity within the sect keenly.
Right now, she was in the Dharma Characteristic realm and her strength had grown immensely. Her Essence Spirit’s cultivation had also deepened as well.
When released, her spirit consciousness could travel thousands of kilometers away and every single slight activity would be noticed by her!
She sensed the strange situation on Su Zimo’s side a long time ago.
“What a strong aura. He’s about to break through!”
His body expanded rapidly and caused his flesh to tear open, creating blood mists. His bones were cracking non-stop and even his major tendons were being extended to their limits!
Su Zimo was covered in blood.
His immensely strong regeneration abilities were healing his injuries repeatedly.
Healing after being destroyed, healing after being destroyed…
The cycle continued.
The aura that was given off by his body was turning increasingly terrifying!
The process of his flesh tearing and regenerating was extremely unendurable – Su Zimo was undergoing unimaginable torment!
A long time later, finally unable to hold it in, he slouched his spine and opened his mouth, revealing veins that burst forth from his neck as he let out a thunderous roar from the depths of his throat!
“Roar!”
It sounded like a dragon and a tiger, spreading through the entire place and shocking the world!
Night was the time for birds and beasts to roam and hunt for food and their roars and cries could be heard everywhere.
However, after Su Zimo’s roar, all the mountains nearby fell into complete silence!
The old immortal crane jolted awake from her thoughts and her heart skipped a beat.
The glabella of the old immortal crane shone and she released her spirit consciousness swiftly, forming a pitch-black light barrier that isolated Su Zimo’s cave abode from the outside world; no one could check on him using their eyes or spirit consciousness.
Su Zimo’s demonic cultivation must not be revealed yet.
Cultivators bore a deep-rooted grudge towards demons and that was a fact that was difficult to change.
If they knew that Su Zimo was undergoing demonic cultivation, the other cultivators of the sect would not be able to accept it.
The commotion it would cause would be too great.
Many Nascent Souls and Golden Cores were alarmed. Thinking that a strong foe had arrived, they came forth from their cave abodes one after another despite the fact that their wounds were not fully healed.
Gazing over, everyone caught sight of a light barrier and could not see what was going on inside.
“Leave first and continue healing up. There’s nothing important happening here.”
The old immortal crane’s voice rang in everyone’s mind.
All the Ethereal Peak cultivators heaved a sigh of relief and returned, albeit with slightly confused gazes.
Everyone had heard that roar loud and clear.
Even the Nascent Souls of the sect felt their hearts skip a beat!
“What demon was that? It sounds terrifying.”
“I don’t know, but its background shouldn’t be simple.”
“It should have been taken down by senior crane.”
Many cultivators of the sect discussed in hushed whispers as they went their separate ways.
They could not see that the cave abode that was within the pitch-black light barrier had already collapsed.
In the rumbling dust, a towering figure more than a hundred feet tall stood.
Unknowingly, Su Zimo’s clothes had already been torn apart, revealing defined bronze muscles that shone with a metallic luster.
Blood vessels surfaced on his body one after another as the green veins lined the entire place in a terrifying sight, as though snakes were crawling everywhere!
This was a body that could be described as perfect!
A series of terrifying phantoms surrounded that body, exuding ancient auras.
There was a desolate bull that plowed the heavens.
A mighty and towering rock bear.
A swiveling anaconda.
A wild sanguine ape.
A rampant divine steed.
A cruel Hell’s tiger.
A wind leopard that traversed the winds.
The seven ancient demons that he had cultivated up to this point of the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness were appearing, baring their fangs and claws in a frightening life-like manner!
A round ball of blood was swiveling in Su Zimo’s chest, beside his heart, and emitting a rich demonic qi – that was the Inner Core of the demon race!
Inner Core formation, success!
