SFS Chapter 889 Second Rebirth of Nirvana, An Uninvited Arrival
Chapter 889 Second Rebirth of Nirvana, An Uninvited Arrival
The battle within the Dragon Guardian Land began extremely quickly.
Many lucky individuals were randomly teleported to the Demon Emperor's side and immediately began their hunt.
These demon emperors, who had been imprisoned for countless years, had long since lost most of their cultivation. In such a short time, even those with the fastest recovery speed could only barely recover half of their cultivation.
With this ebb and flow, the initial killing became extremely common.
Within just one day, at least a hundred demon emperors had been hunted down in the blessed land.
Among them were many powerful individuals who had reached the late stage of Nirvana.
Of the four hundred people who participated in the Heavenly Dharma Assembly, only the Ninth Prince had reached the eighth level of cultivation.
Such speed prompted the Holy Emperor and others watching the match to nod in approval.
The world's best talents have gathered here; this is truly a great era for our Wu Dynasty!
While the battle raged fiercely outside, Ye Kang had already burrowed deep underground within the bamboo forest.
After honing his cultivation, he devoured two more treasure fish, and there was no need to hesitate about the rest.
"System, comprehend the Supreme Purity Heaven-Reaching Technique!"
【Ding】
[The host has consumed 3000000 points of comprehension, successfully deepening their understanding of the Supreme Heavenly Art of Taiqing, and has reached the second Nirvana stage. However, a Nirvana Treasure is required to assist in completing the Nirvana.]
"The Treasure of Nirvana..."
Having comprehended the cultivation technique, Ye Kang naturally had a complete understanding of the cultivation of the Nirvana Realm.
The phoenix's rebirth requires burning its precious blood, using its essence as a medium to burn itself and be reborn from the ashes.
For a martial artist to undergo Nirvana, they naturally need corresponding precious materials. The precious materials consumed during the first Nirvana are the martial artist themselves.
The peak cultivation level of a martial artist, honed over countless years, is a precious resource.
However, subsequent Nirvana requires treasures of different grades, and they must correspond to one's own path of cultivation. If they do not match, even heavenly treasures cannot be used as treasures.
Ye Kang had anticipated this, and at this moment he calmly summoned the Demon Furnace.
"Using the Iron-Eating Demon King as my precious material, I will forge my path to Nirvana!"
Indeed, Ye Kang's choice was extremely simple and direct: to use the Demon Emperor's body as a precious material for his own improvement.
The essence of the Supreme Purity Heaven-Reaching Skill is to encompass all things, to be far-reaching and enduring, and to focus on the myriad aspects of the Dao, without being confined to any one style.
Ye Kang had also cultivated the Immortal Demon Record, so the power of demons was not an external thing to him, but rather a great resource of the same origin.
Now is the perfect time to slay demons and monsters, and use the flesh and blood of the Demon Emperor as a foundation for my own rebirth, while simultaneously refining the Demon Emperor.
This is much more convenient than refining in the Demon Furnace, since there are no middlemen making a profit, and every bit of the Demon Emperor's essence is yours!
With this thought in mind, the corpse of the Iron-Eating Demon Emperor, which had been contained in the Demon Furnace but not yet refined, appeared. Then, a surge of inner fire stirred, creating a connection between Ye Kang and the Iron-Eating corpse.
"It works! There was no rejection after all!"
Ye Kang laughed loudly, completely unleashing his cultivation power and directly attempting to break through to the second stage!
His physical body instantly burst into flames, transforming into boiling blood in an instant. Meanwhile, the corpse of the Iron-Eating Demon Emperor, as a precious material, also transformed into endless essence, merging into these blood beads.
During this process, the essence of flesh and blood was instantly refined into Ye Kang's Nirvana Body, including the blood and supernatural power that the Iron-Eating Demon Emperor had painstakingly honed.
After a few breaths, the blood droplets reformed and transformed into a brand new body.
Ye Kang emerged from the blood mist once more, a dark robe automatically donning his robe.
"Second job advancement, done."
Ye Kang exhaled lightly, and at the same time, a spiritual cloud drifted over, accompanied by blessings from heaven and earth.
Ye Kang opened his mouth and greedily devoured all the blessings, greatly improving the strength of his physical body and soul, and his true energy also underwent continuous transformation.
After fully digesting the blessing, Ye Kang became much more composed in his movements than before.
"In that case, he should be a martial artist who has surpassed the mid-stage of Nirvana."
Ye Kang sighed, quite satisfied with this improvement.
The transition from the fourth to the sixth stage is the mid-stage. Ye Kang, with his physical body and true qi, is now able to compete with mid-stage martial artists.
Of course, this is without using the Heavenly Axe and the Dawnbreaker Spear.
After all, Ye Yinghuan is also in the blessed land. If he uses his gun skills, she will definitely find out. He should hide as long as possible.
If you can disregard everything and use all your trump cards, you'll be able to put up a fight even if you encounter a late-game rebirth.
"However, what surprised me even more than my cultivation level was the benefits that the precious materials brought me."
Ye Kang smiled slightly, then waved his hand to summon countless iron elements, which instantly formed an indestructible steel shield.
This was none other than the divine power that the Iron-Eating Demon King had used before!
After Ye Kang completely refined this precious material, it not only replenished Ye Kang's vital energy, but also allowed Ye Kang to master this technique.
"Unfortunately, it can't be considered a supernatural power. Without the Iron-Eating Bloodline, this move is at best an interesting technique. But it seems to have other variations besides transforming into a shield?"
Ye Kang studied it carefully, and with a thought, the surrounding iron elements were drawn out and integrated into his body, increasing his physical strength by another ten percent out of thin air.
Defense capabilities have been enhanced once again!
Compared to turning it into an external object, this method suits Ye Kang's taste better.
"However, once you reach the Nirvana Realm, the consumption of comprehension increases significantly. Each Nirvana rebirth costs three million units of comprehension, and the wealth I just acquired is gone again. The road ahead is long and arduous..."
Ye Kang shook his head, then briefly consolidated his cultivation before stepping out of the ground again.
No one cared about his breakthrough, and it was impossible for the light screen outside to show it at all. After all, turning from the first to the second stage was too ordinary for these geniuses.
Therefore, Ye Kang felt no psychological burden and continued to walk through the bamboo forest.
He did not leave immediately, after all, such a large bamboo forest could not possibly contain only that one Iron-Eating Demon Emperor.
There must be other demon emperors here, frantically recovering their cultivation in some hidden corner.
Ye Kang followed suit, changed locations, and then directly took out a hair from the Life-Chasing Sable.
When true energy is poured in, this thing will automatically track the surrounding demonic energy. Apart from not being able to determine cultivation level, this hair is still very efficient.
Soon, the hair shifted slightly to the left, and Ye Kang smirked, immediately heading in that direction.
Half an hour later, he landed deep in the bamboo forest, at the bottom of a dark valley.
The sunlight here is noticeably reduced, the surroundings are quite dark, and the air is chilly.
As soon as Ye Kang stepped in, a strong demonic aura erupted, followed by an angry roar.
"Get out of my way, you brat! Don't force me to break your vow of virginity!"
"A powerful demon in the late Nirvana stage? Is his luck really that bad?"
Ye Kang frowned and stopped in his tracks.
This demonic aura clearly exudes the presence of someone in the late Nirvana stage, making it incredibly terrifying.
Logically speaking, hunting down such a demon would be very difficult for someone with his cultivation level.
But if it's so powerful, why just scare itself instead of taking direct action?
"Could it be that your cultivation level has dropped so drastically that you don't even dare to attack a junior like me who is only at the second stage of cultivation?"
Ye Kang pondered for a moment, then ignored the demon's warning and walked straight ahead.
In an instant, the surrounding air fell silent, and a chilling demonic aura instantly transformed into countless icy blades, piercing directly towards Ye Kang.
Bang!
Ye Kang used his inner energy to shatter the ice, and at the same time, he judged the approximate strength of his opponent.
It was indeed a powerful demon in its later stages, but unfortunately its demonic power was unstable, and it had obviously suffered a very serious injury.
Just as Ye Kang was preparing to deal with it, two divine senses suddenly scanned him from the sky.
"Huh? Is there a demon here?"
"Hahaha! It's really effortless. With Brother Zhou by my side, we don't even need to go looking for demons ourselves."
"It's a pity there's still that arrogant little guy who's really unlucky to run into an opponent of this caliber all by himself."
A soft laugh was heard, and then two figures landed with a thud.
Ye Kang made no move, simply watching the two who had suddenly arrived.
These were two martial artists of similar age to himself; one wore a fitted white robe, and the other wore a neat short shirt, revealing his broad arms.
Both of them were at least at the fourth level of cultivation, clearly surpassing Ye Kang.
The man in white glanced at Ye Kang and waved his hand dismissively: "Get lost, this place is not for you to meddle with."
Having said that, he didn't even look at Ye Kang, but turned around to look at the deep valley.
After a few breaths, seeing that Ye Kang did not move, the man in white frowned and asked again, "Could it be that you cannot understand human language?"
The man in the short shirt also shouted angrily, "I told you to get lost! Do you want a beating? Wait, Brother Zhou, this kid seems to have a demon soul mark on his arm?"
The two suddenly realized what was happening and then stared at Ye Kang's arm.
The man in white nodded: "His cultivation level isn't high, but his luck is quite good. He actually obtained a mark so quickly."
"Yes, we haven't encountered a single demon since we entered this blessed land. What has this kid done to deserve this?"
"Whatever, anyway, this mark is ours too."
The man in white patted the corner of his clothes and said in a commanding tone, "Boy, I'll only say this once: hand over the mark, and I'll let you go."
The man in the short shirt grinned maliciously, his fists cracking, clearly ready to rob the man.
Only then did Ye Kang speak: "You two have come uninvited, trying to steal my prey, and now you want me to hand over the mark? That's a bit too domineering."
Upon hearing this, the man in white shook his head: "He's asking for trouble. Let's get rid of him."
"Right on my mind!"
The two had no intention of wasting words with Ye Kang and immediately attacked, their true energy transforming into long dragons that slammed down.
Ye Kang calmly dodged the attack, and in the same instant, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
With purple lightning and green frost enveloping him, combined with his powerful Nirvana Realm cultivation, Ye Kang reached his maximum speed, escaping the range of the two people's divine senses in a flash of lightning.
The man in white snorted coldly: "His speed is not slow. Never mind him, let's join forces to deal with this great demon first."
"Consider him lucky."
The man in the short shirt spat, and the two turned and grinned as they walked toward the valley.
A great battle was about to break out, and the entire deep valley instantly erupted with boundless demonic power.
The demonic energy and the two streams of true energy clashed, creating a deafening roar that echoed throughout the surrounding area, attracting countless birds.
In the distance, Ye Kang landed gracefully, watching the scene with great interest.
"What an overbearing genius! Then please, both of you, help me weaken this great demon's strength."
That's right, Ye Kang never intended to escape.
These two guys chose the worst option: they attacked themselves.
Since that's the case, there's no need to be polite. If I don't get rid of these two bastards, I'll be letting down my newly improved cultivation level.
However, with a powerful demon still at their side, there would be too many variables if a real fight broke out.
Moreover, although that great demon's strength has declined, it is still a late-stage Nirvana. Even a centipede with a hundred legs does not die easily. If it were to unleash its full power without regard for the cost, it would not be so easy to devour.
But the most crucial factor is the information gap.
These two are too arrogant, so arrogant that they don't take me, a newbie who's only at the second job advancement, seriously at all. After all, in their information, I don't pose any threat whatsoever.
"Only in this way can I have room to maneuver."
After saying that, Ye Kang reached into the air with his right hand, and array plates and countless jade talismans appeared.
With the help of his Divine Eye of Insight and the Heaven-Turning Hand, Ye Kang easily set up the array base, then changed direction and repeated the process.
These array plates and jade talismans were all made by people from the Moyu world working day and night in shifts.
With the piles of materials that Ye Kang had looted, making these materials was effortless; the only thing needed was time.
Ye Kang has an entire Ink Jade Realm to handcraft array plates for him; you could say he has as many as he wants.
Moreover, these array plates are recyclable; they can be repositioned simply by changing their location, which is very convenient.
Soon, Ye Kang continued to move around the perimeter, and an invisible array slowly circulated around him.
Meanwhile, the battle in the valley intensified, with countless bursts of true energy creating afterimages and countless martial arts techniques falling like meteors.
These are martial artists with powerful backgrounds. Although those two guys are arrogant, they are actually quite skilled, displaying a variety of martial arts techniques and subtly suppressing the hidden demon emperor.
The man in the short shirt laughed loudly as he demonstrated his martial arts: "That's great! Brother Zhou's martial arts have indeed improved again. At this rate, that guy definitely won't last even the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!"
"Don't let your guard down. This demon king is hiding its true form and hasn't revealed itself yet. It's quite capable. You buy me some time, and I'll make it show itself."
"give it to me!"
After saying that, the man in the short shirt burst into flames, and with both fists full of power, he swung them down, instantly unleashing a sky full of fist shadows filled with demonic flames.
This is precisely his most proficient martial art, the Divine Fire Heavenly Tribulation Force!
Its power is domineering and fierce; combined with the burning demonic flames, its killing range is extremely large.
Sure enough, the demon emperor roared, but had no choice but to unleash all his demonic energy to fight back.
Demonic flames and demonic energy collided in mid-air, creating countless explosions and kicking up clouds of smoke and dust.
Such a huge commotion is rare even in the entire blessed land, and therefore, it immediately attracted the attention of the imperial advisor from the outside world.
"Oh? It seems a seventh-level demon is being besieged?"
The Imperial Advisor spoke with great interest, immediately drawing the attention of the surrounding officials.
Although a seventh-level demon is not uncommon among the three thousand evil demons, it is still an extremely difficult challenge for most of the geniuses participating in the Heavenly Dharma Assembly.
After all, apart from the top ten, most geniuses' cultivation levels do not exceed the sixth level.
How could I miss such a battle?
The Holy Emperor spoke directly: "Imperial Preceptor, stop keeping me in suspense and let me see as well."
