Chapter 131 Demonic Embryo Formation, Spirit Root Seizure
The Perfection of the Demonic Embryo Profound Origin Secret Incantation signified that his goal of defying the heavens and changing his fate was about to be achieved. Body Refinement Foundation Establishment and everything else would have to wait.
"Finally, it's done."
At this moment, Wang Yu's expression couldn't hide his joy.
He had raised Wang Wu for several years, and finally, it was time to use him. With Dual Spirit Root Aptitude combined with the Effect of the Storage Slot, he couldn't imagine how much his Cultivation speed would skyrocket.
Collecting his Mind and Spirit, he sank his Divine Sense into his body to check his condition.
As expected!
The Spirit Root that had originally formed a clump was completely covered by black-red Demonic Runes. It was no longer in the shape of roots.
Instead—it was a Profound Origin Demon Embryo!
A Demonic Path Spirit Root Aptitude transformed from a Waste Spirit Root as its foundation.
The Five Elements Attributes were still there, and even the Ice Attribute Water Spirit Root that Wang Yu had previously mutated had reversed back.
After shrinking, it was accommodated into the Profound Origin Demon Embryo's body, as if transforming into the Five Energies within his chest, completely falling into dormancy, but not disappearing.
The Aptitude improvement brought about by the previous enhancements and induced mutations from the Cold Blood Art and Corpse Fiend Secret Art had also not disappeared, but instead appeared on the outside of the Profound Origin Demon Embryo.
Ice-blue and black-grey, two slightly incomplete Runes were imprinted on the Demonic Embryo's surface, gradually disappearing and turning into nutrients nourishing the Demonic Embryo.
After careful observation, Wang Yu discovered.
This Profound Origin Demon Embryo had a special shape, resembling a coiled infant, quite similar to the legendary Nascent Soul, except its face had no features.
Possessing it, Wang Yu would possess the Aptitude to practice any Demonic Path methods. It was completely different from an orthodox "Spirit Root."
The so-called seizing of others' Aptitude was also about absorbing Spirit Roots to nourish the Profound Origin Demon Embryo. The stronger the Demonic Embryo, the higher his Demonic Path Aptitude would be!
Therefore, the Spirit Root Attribute of the person being seized didn't matter; the Profound Origin Demon Embryo accepted all comers and could devour anything.
"So that's how it is."
While pondering, Wang Yu arrived in the Stone Chamber. Wang Wu, bound by iron chains, was kneeling on the ground in ragged clothes. Hearing footsteps, his whole body couldn't help but tremble.
His eyes were full of fear. Seeing this, Wang Yu couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.
To perfectly seize another person's Spirit Root, having a similar Bloodline was only the first requirement. According to the process, it was also necessary to plant a "Demonic Thought," constantly eroding the other party's rationality, and ultimately completely infecting it.
In a manner imitating a Heavenly Demon Body Seizing, he would devour everything of the target.
Whether the Demonic Thought would succeed, and the time required to catalyze the infection, were not short. After all, the survival instinct of living beings was very difficult to defy. If he could break down his psychological defenses in advance, it would be much easier.
Therefore, in the past few years, he had tried every means to torture Wang Wu, completely destroying his will, all for the sake of facilitating today's action.
Of course, how much personal grudge was mixed in, only he himself knew.
The closer they got, the more violently Wang Wu trembled.
When Wang Yu pinched the other's chin and forcibly raised his head, he trembled even more like a winnowing fan.
He was scared to the bone!
"Very good, look into my eyes."
Wang Wu involuntarily raised his eyes to look, and the moment their eyes met, Wang Yu's eyes completely transformed into a pitch-black color. He opened his mouth and uttered several strange syllables.
Invisible Demonic Thoughts quickly took root in Wang Wu's Sea of Consciousness, rapidly absorbing a large amount of negative emotions to grow stronger. Wang Yu also didn't forget to whisper in his ear.
"Relax your body and mind, do not resist."
"Relax… soon you will be liberated."
"No need to suffer anymore, no need to endure torture anymore, you can have a good sleep, hand everything over to me~"
Wang Wu's expression relaxed, but his eyes widened even more.
The black color representing Demonic bloomed in his pupils, like a kaleidoscope, completely controlling this person's body and mind.
Before and after, it didn't even take the time for an incense stick to burn. The completely collapsed Wang Wu handed over everything of himself, completely liberated from this boundless sea of suffering.
The foundation laid in advance determined the efficiency at this time.
Forming hand seals, Wang Yu took a deep breath and continued to utter strange syllables unlike human language. Rustling sounds rang in his ears, as if some multi-legged creature was crawling in the dark.
Heavenly Demon Evil Thoughts were not a power without side effects. Human Cultivators who wanted to utilize it must withstand the erosion of rationality in their hearts.
Previously, he had relied entirely on Storage Slot feedback, and the pressure he himself received was almost non-existent.
Now personally using it, he couldn't avoid this influence, but his Perfected Level attainment of the Secret Incantation was enough to make him immune to this erosion.
From this, it could be seen how much pressure others who cultivated this Secret Incantation bore. Rashly using it before Perfection would too easily lead to Backlash.
A short while later.
The illusory sounds in his consciousness reached their limit. In reality, Wang Wu's body was withering visibly at a speed visible to the naked eye. One black thin thread after another emerged from his pores, finally gathering into the shape of a Pill.
It quickly entered Wang Yu's body.
At the location of the Spirit Root Aptitude, which existed within his body but could not be found in his flesh, the dark Profound Origin Demon Embryo received this time's transported nutrients.
Immediately, it burst out with black-red Demonic light, and the Runes on its body rapidly increased. Two new Spirit Root Rune imprints were generated again.
One red, one green, representing Fire Spirit Root and Wood Spirit Root.
They were visibly being devoured by the Profound Origin Demon Embryo at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After a long time.
Wang Yu suddenly opened his eyes. His aura hadn't changed, but the feeling he gave was completely different.
Carefully sensing for a moment, Wang Yu laughed very unrestrainedly.
"This is Dual Spirit Root, this is High-Grade Spirit Root! Finally… finally got this ticket!"
Looking again at the withered Corpse in front of him, with a gentle touch, it turned into a ground of powder.
"Dust to dust, earth to earth, the grudge between you and me is over."
......
......
Several days later.
After experiencing the exhilarating feeling of Cultivation with Dual Spirit Root Aptitude, it almost made him feel exhilarated to the heavens. The speed was unbelievably fast.
In the past four years, he had refined four improved versions of Top-Grade Cold Blood Elixir, increasing his Spirit Energy by 60 units.
The consumption of these Medicinal Pills had basically reached its limit, and a Pill Barrier against Cold Blood Elixir had already developed in his body.
The two Storage Slots exerted their force, increasing Spirit Energy by 115 units. Self-Cultivation increased it by 3 units, bringing the total increase in Spirit Energy Cultivation Level to 178 units.
Adding to his original 404 units, he reached 582 units.
It could be called rapid progress!
The distance to the seven hundred units of Spirit Energy needed for Qi Condensation Ninth Layer was only 118 units short. Originally, it would have still taken several years.
But… everything was different now.
The High-Grade Aptitude represented by Dual Spirit Root made the amount of Spirit Energy that Wang Yu could increase through daily Cultivation skyrocket, far exceeding previous improvements, bringing about earth-shaking changes.
Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivation Method, High-Grade Aptitude, and the never-resting Storage Slot feedback.
The efficiency of a single Storage Slot increased to "50 strands/day," and two Storage Slots was "100 strands/day." How much was it originally? Originally, it was "8 strands/day."
This speed increase was more than tenfold. Using strands to describe it was not intuitive enough; converting it, it was "1 unit/day." In other words, he only needed 118 days to advance to Qi Condensation Ninth Layer.
Only four months were needed.
This speed was above Dual Spirit Root, slightly inferior to Heavenly Spirit Root. After all, the difference between second and first was also a qualitative change.
In comparison, his original Cultivation speed was like a joke.
No wonder the Cultivation world viewed Aptitude as so important.
