#304 - The inheritance of ancient demon power
Li Chengfeng's heart trembled violently, completely subdued by the ancient demon's strength.
That ancient demon's eye could easily see through his disguise, which was not surprising, after all, the ancient demon had fallen from the Immortal Realm.
The depth of its realm was beyond words, even Immortal-level beings could hardly fathom it, let alone those above Immortals.
This thought made Li Chengfeng's scalp tingle, knowing that his knowledge in the human realm was already among the best of the Nascent Soul stage ancestors, and he had a good understanding of the Tribulation Transcendence stage and even the Immortal Realm.
He controlled the substitute puppet, tentatively asking, "Could you be the ancient demon's lingering soul? With the strength of your soul, sweeping across the human world would be as easy as flipping your hand, yet you are so cautious now, you must be seriously injured."
Wang Jun responded with a sneer, "Boy, don't waste your effort trying to probe me.
Your realm is nothing more than an ant to me, easily crushed with a snap of my fingers.
However, since you are so curious, I can reveal a thing or two, after all, these secrets have been weighing on my mind for too long, difficult to express.
The ancient demon has indeed fallen, it was at the Half-Saint realm, only one step away from becoming a Saint.
If its soul still existed, even a trace of its remnant would be enough to turn the human world into ashes."
Li Chengfeng's whole body was soaked in cold sweat upon hearing this, his heart filled with shock.
He couldn't imagine the realm of the strong person who could strike the ancient demon into a mountain range with a single palm, it must be at least a Half-Step Saint, or even a true Saint.
Seeing the substitute puppet controlled by Li Chengfeng showing such a terrified expression, Wang Jun couldn't help but laugh, feeling extremely happy in his heart.
These long-hidden secrets could finally be confided to someone, and the object was this extraordinary Li Chengfeng.
He could actually comprehend the 'Dragon Subduing Seal,' a supreme skill of the Dragon Saint, his understanding of the technique and talent were truly amazing.
Li Chengfeng controlled the substitute puppet, asking again, "Then, what exactly are you? Since the ancient demon has fallen, why can you use its divine abilities?"
Wang Jun sighed softly and slowly said, "I am a wisp of obsession that gradually condensed after the fall of the ancient demon.
This wisp of obsession originated from the ancient demon's unwillingness and unfinished ambition before its death, and after countless years of precipitation, it finally gave birth to its own consciousness and inherited a part of the ancient demon's legacy.
But this little bit of power of mine doesn't even count as the tip of the iceberg of the ancient demon's inheritance.
I did not obtain all of the ancient demon's spells, I only obtained the Ancient Demon's Eye, and... it's still incomplete.
Because the Ancient Demon's Eye is closely connected to the ancient demon's spell system, and when the ancient demon fell, its power did not dissipate into the heavens and earth, but turned into mountains and rivers, this was what the ancient demon did to protect its own obsession.
However, things are unpredictable, on top of this ancient demon's remains, two intelligent entities were actually born.
One controls the entire spell system of the ancient demon, that is, the inheritance of techniques; and I, inherited the power inheritance of the ancient demon, we are like two sides of the ancient demon that have been divided."
Li Chengfeng's heart trembled upon hearing this, he vaguely guessed something, but it was not very clear.
The water behind this was too deep, and the extent of its involvement made his scalp tingle.
He realized that the reason why these forces were emerging one after another was probably all for the power inheritance of the ancient demon.
If Wang Jun could be killed and his memories seized, the ancient demon's power inheritance would fall into the hands of the major sects, what a terrifying thing that would be!
Thinking of this, a strong desire surged in Li Chengfeng's heart, he also wanted to get a piece of the pie in this dispute.
Perhaps, he could fish in troubled waters, although the waves were big, the opportunities were equally huge.
He secretly made up his mind that he must occupy a place in this struggle.
Li Chengfeng sneered and slowly said, "So that's how it is, you shine brightly because you inherited the legacy, thus becoming the target of public criticism.
The treasure of technique inheritance, but it fell into the hands of the Tianyao Sect, both have their own merits.
This Tianyao Mountain Range has always been a cradle of legends and miracles, and Wan Yue Mountain is a holy place in the hearts of countless people, attracting forces from all sides to explore its mysteries."
Wang Jun clapped three times upon hearing this, laughing, "Haha, as expected, you are extremely intelligent, hitting the nail on the head.
Since that's the case, I don't need to say more.
I have always cherished talents, if you are willing to join my sect, the legacy inheritance will naturally be taught to you without reservation.
As for your body, I have my own arrangements, I will definitely find a more suitable shell for you, so that your soul can rest in peace, what do you think of this proposal?"
Li Chengfeng smiled slightly, politely refusing, "How is that possible? This body of mine is the crystallization of my dual cultivation of law and martial arts, the perfect fusion of martial arts and power, how can I easily give it up?
Although the ancient demon's inheritance is strong, I firmly believe that with my own strength, I can also break the shackles and move forward fearlessly."
Wang Jun nodded slightly, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, "What a genius who comprehended the Dragon Subduing Seal, but if you could be a little more humble, perhaps you could go further.
However, since you are so insistent, then I can only let you see what the true path of the strong is."
After saying that, Wang Jun suddenly burst out with amazing power, the surrounding air seemed to be tightly held by an invisible hand, solidified and motionless.
The substitute puppet controlled by Li Chengfeng was actually unable to move at all in the face of this power, as if it had been immobilized.
He was secretly shocked, knowing that the other party's strength had recovered to the late Nascent Soul stage, only one step away from its peak, the power it exuded had already formed its own power field, this was the terror of the ancient demon's power inheritance.
Under the cover of the substitute puppet, Li Chengfeng keenly captured the purity and vastness in the other party's power, it was a pure power that transcended convention and originated from the ancient demon's legacy.
Under the pressure of this power, everything weighed thousands of pounds, as if even time had slowed down.
However, Li Chengfeng did not retreat because of this, but instead regarded it as a rare opportunity, deciding to use his secret technique—"Drawing the Source from the Bottom of the Cauldron"—to try to extract and comprehend the essence of this power.
As he cast his secret technique, a little bit of the other party's vast power was quietly extracted, condensing in his palm.
After careful comprehension, Li Chengfeng was shocked, the power of this ancient demon's legacy was indeed extraordinary.
Its height had transcended the mundane, crossed the boundaries of the Soft Realm and the Spirit Realm, and pointed directly to the Immortal Realm.
The ancient wisdom and endless potential contained in this power made him full of awe for the ancient demon race.
At this critical moment, the dragon-shaped jade pendant on Li Chengfeng's substitute puppet's waist suddenly bloomed with dazzling light, accompanied by a deafening dragon roar, a yellow mist-like heavenly might permeated out.
Immediately afterwards, several blood lines cut through the void, and the screams of His Highness Qi Baidian and a group of marquis' sons rose and fell, their lives and souls seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, turning into balls of blood, completely swallowed by the jade pendant.
This scene was shocking, it turned out that these royal children were the sacrifices to activate the transmission energy of the jade pendant.
As the jade pendant was completely activated, a dazzling dragon-shaped portal appeared out of thin air, and an old man wearing a dragon robe and with a dignified gaze stepped out of it.
He was the emperor of Qi, and also a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage—Qi Wenlong.
His appearance made the entire space tremble, the emperor's aura shocked all directions, and the pair of dragon eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything in the world revealed a kind of domineering that overlooked the world.
Qi Wenlong's appearance was like the descent of a dragon god, the dragon energy emanating from his body was domineering and unparalleled, instantly solidifying the surrounding air, and the original palpitating power was also scattered by this dragon might without a trace.
He looked at Wang Jun with a playful gaze, the corners of his mouth curled into a sneer, as if everything was under his control.
"Wang Jun ah Wang Jun, do you think that everything is within your calculations? Wanting to extract the power of the dragon vein and take the opportunity to break through to the Half-Step God Transformation, that's just your wishful thinking."
Qi Wenlong's voice was low and powerful, every word was like a heavy hammer hitting Wang Jun's heart, "We have already laid a net, just waiting for you, this big fish, to take the bait.
If you had come in person, with your keenness, you might have been able to detect something, but you didn't expect that we would use this special dragon-shaped jade pendant to transmit, completely blinding your eyes."
