Immortal Martial Emperor

Faced with the siege of the Five Yin Demon Prison,

the terrifying, heart-stopping fluctuations coming from within the Dark Energy vortex made Hong Yu feel as if he were being watched by five Netherworld Demon Gods.

This bone-chilling sensation was incredibly uncomfortable.

’This Ding Zhentian’s strength is actually this incredible? I’m afraid that among the Four True Dragons, only Yao Yueye could truly suppress him!’

Hong Yu relentlessly swung his Godslaying Spear. Dazzling, brilliant golden light erupted, flowing over the Spear Aura. It was as if countless savage, violent little golden dragons were writhing, enhancing the Spear Aura’s power.

But no matter how sharp the Godslaying Spear’s attacks were, the moment they touched the Five Yin Demon Prison, they would emit a series of sizzling sounds. The five black Energy Vortexes that formed the Five Yin Demon Prison viciously ground them down, causing them to disintegrate.

Facing the Five Yin Demon Prison, which could both attack and defend and seemed to have no weaknesses, Hong Yu’s brow furrowed.

’I’d long heard that the Five Yin Demon Sect’s Five Yin Demon Skill possessed power that could startle ghosts and gods. It’s just that in all these years, the Five Yin Demon Sect hasn’t produced a genius who could cultivate it to a profound level, so its reputation has gradually waned. To think this Ding Zhentian could cultivate the Five Yin Demon Skill to such Mastery...’

The Five Yin Demon Skill was extremely famous throughout the Southern Ten Nations!

Once upon a time, the Five Yin Demon Sect had relied on the Five Yin Demon Skill to become one of the top three Sects in the Southern Ten Nations.

Unfortunately, in the last one or two hundred years, the Five Yin Demon Sect failed to produce another genius perfectly suited for the Five Yin Demon Skill. Their results in several martial tournaments had been mediocre.

As a result, the status of both the Five Yin Demon Sect and the Celestial Star Kingdom plummeted.

This was probably a true reflection of the saying, "Live by the Demon Skill, die by the Demon Skill."

But for this Ding Zhentian to be able to cultivate the Five Yin Demon Skill to such a level, condensing a profound technique like the Five Yin Demon Prison, he was truly a heaven-sent talent!

"Wait!"

Hong Yu’s eyebrows twitched, a sharp glint appearing in his eyes. ’The Five Yin Demon Prison’s strength lies in its ability to devour and grind down all energy. This is the Devouring True Intent from the Dark Martial Dao! The Devouring True Intent is known as one of the ten strongest True Martial Arts Intents. If I could devour it and rely on the power of my Eight Desolates Dominating Body, my strength would see a massive increase!’

’It might even enhance the Eight Desolates Dominating Body’s ability to devour True Martial Arts Intents. Perhaps it could really help me condense eight True Martial Arts Intents and advance to the Primordial Core Realm!’

At this thought, an excited look flickered in Hong Yu’s eyes.

His five fingers twitched—the Eight Desolates Dominating Body was already growing restless!

The Eight Desolates Saint Slaying Technique rapidly circulated through his body. Faint golden light gathered between his cells, and arcs of golden lightning crackled and spread from his hands, covering both his arms.

Like two long dragons covered in lightning, his arms shot out, fiercely grabbing at the black vortexes of the Five Yin Demon Prison.

Watching Hong Yu charge toward the Five Yin Demon Prison with his bare hands, the corners of Ding Zhentian’s lips curled up in a sneer of contempt and mockery. "Idiot, is this your last desperate struggle? Heh heh, my Five Yin Demon Prison can grind down and devour even Primordial Weapons, let alone your flesh and blood."

At this thought, Ding Zhentian folded his arms across his chest, his face filled with confidence and certainty.

He was clearly waiting for the scene of Hong Yu being ground to death by the Five Yin Demon Prison.

Ever since he had successfully cultivated the Five Yin Demon Prison, Ding Zhentian had used this very move to kill numerous talented powerhouses.

In past battles, there had indeed been some Martial Artists who, confident in their own great strength, tried to withstand the Five Yin Demon Prison head-on.

The result went without saying.

Even a dignified Late-stage Primordial Core Realm Powerhouse had once fallen to Ding Zhentian’s Five Yin Demon Prison.

By normal reasoning, if even a Primordial Core Realm expert couldn’t withstand the Five Yin Demon Prison,

then no matter how strong Hong Yu’s combat power was, he was still just in the Celestial Soul Realm!

For someone of his cultivation to face the Five Yin Demon Prison head-on, there could only be one outcome—death!

Unfortunately...

What Ding Zhentian didn’t know was that once Hong Yu was involved, nothing could be judged by common sense!

Golden light swirled in his palms, and electric arcs flowed over his arms.

Hong Yu’s hands finally clashed with the seemingly invincible Five Yin Demon Prison.

BANG!

A low thud from the energy collision kicked up two heavy shockwaves.

As the shockwaves recoiled, they tore up a thick layer of soil from the ground. In the surrounding area, many trees were uprooted and ground into splinters that rained down.

CHHH!

The five black vortexes intertwined, continuously battering and corroding Hong Yu’s hands.

The golden electric arcs flowing over his arms seemed to condense into a suit of golden armor, preventing the ever-victorious black Energy Vortexes from refining him.

During the stalemate, Hong Yu grew excited. ’Hahaha, the Eight Desolates Dominating Body really works!’

The look in his eyes gradually turned sharp. "Five Yin Demon Prison? Watch me devour you!"

As he spoke, Hong Yu’s body suddenly swelled by a full size amidst a Huhu sound.

His golden, iron-like arms, like two brilliant golden dragons swimming upstream, roared as they rammed straight into the Five Yin Demon Prison.

The sound of thunderous explosions was incessant.

Under the powerful energy impact, a raging gale kicked up, causing the surrounding bushes to RUSTLE and sway precariously.

"Hah!"

Hong Yu roared again.

The golden light on his arms flared, and the domineering aura of his Eight Desolates Dominating Body was unparalleled.

Wherever it passed, sand flew and stones rolled as a furious wind howled.

Billowing black smoke rose between heaven and earth.

It seemed as if five Ancient Demon Venerables within the Five Yin Demon Prison sensed Hong Yu’s attempt to devour them with his Eight Desolates Dominating Body. They let out a series of furious roars, and streams of black energy surged out from the Five Yin Demon Prison, coiling around Hong Yu’s arms like black dragons.

The moment this black energy made contact with his body, Hong Yu’s expression changed slightly. "This... this isn’t a single True Martial Arts Intent? The Five Yin Demon Prison actually contains five different True Martial Arts Intents?"

Seemingly noticing the change in Hong Yu’s expression, Ding Zhentian revealed a mocking and smug look, sneering, "So you wanted to devour my True Martial Arts Intent? Hahaha, Hong Yu, oh, Hong Yu, you’ve miscalculated! My Five Yin Demon Prison contains five types of dark True Martial Arts Intents, collectively known as the Five Yin Demonic Intent."

"When the five yins gather, the Demon Venerable manifests. This is a Dark Attribute True Martial Arts Intent stronger than even the Devouring True Intent."

A greedy and fiery light danced in Ding Zhentian’s eyes. "But your body can actually withstand the corrosion of the Five Yin Demonic Intent? It seems you must have cultivated an extremely powerful Body Refining Technique. And my uncle once said that you obtained a strange Cultivation Technique in the Eight Desolates Mansion. It must be the Eight Desolates Old Demon’s Eight Desolates Saint Slaying Technique."

"Heh heh, although this Cultivation Technique isn’t high-grade, if one can cultivate it to the Peak Eighth Transformation and condense the Eight Desolates Dominating Body, it can build an extremely solid foundation."

Ding Zhentian stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, roaring with bloodlust and greed, "Hong Yu, oh, Hong Yu, you really are my lucky star! As long as I kill you, not only will I get the bounty from Zhui Yang Old Monster, but I’ll also get the Eight Desolates Saint Slaying Technique. Hahaha, Five Yin Demon Prison, grind him to dust for me!"

At his command, the five masses of black light suddenly expanded.

Hong Yu was trapped beneath the boundless black light of the Five Yin Demon Prison.

His expression turned grim under the reflection of the black light, and a sharp glint flickered in his eyes. ’It’s actually the Five Yin Demonic Intent? A fusion of five extremely yin True Martial Arts Intents of the Dark Attribute. This Ding Zhentian’s methods are truly terrifying...’

The Five Yin Demonic Intents were True Yin, Void Yin, Soul Yin, Primordial Yin, and Mystic Yin!

These were all the most extreme Dark Attribute True Martial Arts Intents.

More importantly, these five True Martial Arts Intents complemented each other. They were the ultimate existences of extreme yin. Fused together, they were even more troublesome and terrifying than the Devouring True Intent, one of the ten great True Martial Arts Intents.

’Damn it, I can’t hesitate any longer. I don’t care if it’s extreme yin or extreme yang; if this drags on, it’ll be a huge disadvantage for me. I’ll just devour it first and deal with the consequences later!’

Hong Yu resolved to be ruthless.

Ding Zhentian cultivated the Five Yin Demon Skill, which allowed him to fuse the five extreme yin True Martial Arts Intents.

Even so, his personality had become violent and Bloodthirsty under the influence of the Five Yin Demonic Intent.

If it weren’t absolutely necessary, Hong Yu would be unwilling to risk devouring them.

But the situation was critical. Faced with the bizarre Five Yin Demon Prison, his only option was to devour it by force!

As for the consequences...

That was a problem for another day!

"Eight Desolates Dominating Body—Devour!"

BOOM!

A golden light instantly expanded, transforming Hong Yu into a gleaming, radiant War God, like a brilliant sun hanging high in the sky.

An ancient, domineering aura that could shake the eight desolates and sweep through the six directions burst forth from his body.

BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!

Hong Yu’s body became like a giant vortex, continuously devouring the Five Yin Demonic Intent coiling around him.

After Hong Yu devoured its essence—the Five Yin Demonic Intent—the once invincible Five Yin Demon Prison was reduced to the purest black Primordial Gang’s Power.

With the Five Yin Demonic Intent gone, Hong Yu’s body trembled, and the Five Yin Demon Prison instantly shattered.

In the distance...

Ding Zhentian was still laughing mockingly, feeling secure in his power.

Suddenly, his expression changed drastically. The smile on his face crumbled, replaced by a ghastly pallor as he spat out a mouthful of blood with a BLEGH.

He looked at Hong Yu in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief. "How is this possible? It’s impossible! He actually devoured my Five Yin Demonic Intent? Impossible, how could this be possible?"

Ding Zhentian hysterically activated the Five Yin Demon Skill.

When an ordinary Primordial Core Realm expert attacked using a True Martial Arts Intent, they would only send out a wisp of it to augment their power.

Unless they were like Zhui Yang Ancestor, who could completely condense a True Martial Arts Intent externally, even if it were devoured by someone, it would only be that faint wisp of power that was lost.

But the Five Yin Demon Prison was different.

This Secret Technique was extremely strange. It required the user to completely separate the five types of Five Yin Demonic Intent they had comprehended from their body and integrate them into the Five Yin Demon Prison’s attack.

Therefore...

When Hong Yu devoured the Five Yin Demonic Intent, it was equivalent to completely devouring the five True Martial Arts Intents that Ding Zhentian had painstakingly comprehended and condensed.

In an instant, Ding Zhentian went from being a prodigy who had mastered five True Martial Arts Intents to an ordinary Primordial Core Realm expert who possessed only Primordial Gang but no True Martial Arts Intent.

He roared hysterically, charging toward Hong Yu like a madman. "Bastard, give me back my Five Yin Demonic Intent! Give me back my True Martial Arts Intents..."

As for Hong Yu, having devoured five True Martial Arts Intents at once, it was impossible for him to refine them in time with his current cultivation.

He could only divert over seventy percent of his body’s power to suppress the Five Yin Demonic Intent, waiting to refine it slowly and integrate it into his body later.

Right now, he had to suppress the Five Yin Demonic Intent with all his might while also dealing with a maddened Ding Zhentian. Naturally, he didn’t want to get entangled in a long fight here.

He had to find a quiet place to refine the five True Martial Arts Intents as soon as possible!

"Get lost!"

At the critical moment, he swept out with his Ice Divine Blade. Ding Zhentian’s Heart Spirit suffered a powerful impact, and he fell to the ground in pain.

Hong Yu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to find a place for secluded cultivation at top speed.

However...

Just as he turned, he discovered that dozens of powerful auras were already rushing toward him from the surroundings.

A muscle in Hong Yu’s face twitched, and a bitter taste filled his mouth...

"Now I’m in trouble!"
