"Wow..." After an unknown distance, Ren Pingsheng finally spat out a mouthful of fresh blood that had been churning in his chest. As for the demon with the cultivation of the Demon Sect, it did not pursue him, which made him feel relieved for a moment. A single strike could severely injure him; the gap was too great, and the cultivation was terrifying.
"Ha... I almost died," he sighed, his face appearing somewhat pale, still showing signs of lingering fear.
"I told you before, there are many powerful beings inside. We've only gone in for over fifty miles and already encountered a demon with the cultivation of the Demon Sect. There are likely even stronger ones deeper inside. Moreover, these creatures seem to sometimes evade my spiritual sense; otherwise, I wouldn't have only noticed it when it got this close," the Demon Emperor said softly, his tone somewhat heavy.
"Since the Abyss of Demons is a forbidden area, it naturally has some peculiarities; there's nothing strange about that. Next, we might have to linger around this outer area for a while. At least here, there won't be any life-threatening dangers," Ren Pingsheng said helplessly. Unable to enter the depths of the Abyss of Demons meant he had no way to leave.
"Yes, your thinking is correct; first break through your cultivation. If you become a respected-level powerhouse, even if you encounter that demon with the cultivation of the Demon Sect again, you won't be completely defenseless."
"It seems I was too obsessed before; leaving here isn't something that can be done quickly. Otherwise, so many powerful figures I knew before would have escaped long ago. From now on, I'll just focus on fighting and cultivating!"
After coming to this realization, Ren Pingsheng settled down. Although he didn't know his exact location now, seeing that the surrounding demons were all at the level of Demon Generals indicated he was still on the outskirts. Here, he had nothing to fear; no demon could threaten his life.
With the Qingfeng Sword drawn, every time he swung it, demons nearby would be severed in two, their flesh flying everywhere. Each day was filled with solitary and desolate battles, repeating monotonously and becoming tedious.
Two years later, on a certain day amidst an endless sea of demons, a figure flickered back and forth. In the midst of countless demon attacks, he appeared to stroll leisurely as if untouched by any harm. The demons' sharp teeth and claws struck at empty air each time, resulting in numerous instances of them injuring each other.
"What do you think of my Ninefold Phantom Body?" The person was Ren Pingsheng; he seemed unchanged overall, still dressed in tattered clothes. However, his eyes shone brightly, showing no signs of being dulled by two years of monotony.
The malevolent aura around him was even more intense and frightening, surrounded by a thick gray mist. That mist consisted of unabsorbed murderous energy and killing intent. Even ordinary warriors would feel a chill run down their spine upon glancing at it; their blood would freeze. Let alone being active around it all day long. Yet none of this affected Ren Pingsheng in any way.
"Haha! Your self-created Movement Technique is quite impressive! Although it's based on True Demon Dance Steps, it surpasses them in many ways and ranks well among heavenly Movement Techniques. If you can advance further, your future will be limitless," the Demon Emperor laughed heartily. He had witnessed Ren Pingsheng's progress over these two years.
Not to mention his cultivation level; just this self-created Ninefold Phantom Body belonged to top-tier Movement Techniques. Such astonishing comprehension was unattainable by others. Even sect-level powerhouses might not be able to create such a Movement Technique.
When using Ninefold Phantom Body, one could switch freely between their true form and this phantom body without any hindrance. Even more astonishingly, this Ninefold Phantom Body possessed strength equivalent to one part of the true body’s Four Parts. This meant that the Ninefold Phantom Body was not merely an illusion but could also engage in combat freely. As long as Ren Pingsheng's demonic energy did not deplete, they would be indestructible.
To think that such a Movement Technique was created by someone who only had the cultivation level of a perfected martial artist was enough to astonish him greatly; even creating such a Movement Technique required considerable effort on his part.
"The Movement Technique is just in its early stages, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the future. I have now reached the perfection of the Martial Master realm, and the Ninefold Phantom Body is also at the mid-level Martial Master realm. Once I become a respected-level powerhouse, they will at least reach the perfection of the Martial Master realm as well. At that time, I will further enhance the Movement Technique, and as I progress, they will become increasingly powerful."
Ren Pingsheng said with a smile. The future of this Movement Technique was bright, and he could see it clearly. As long as the grade of this Movement Technique continues to improve, the cultivation of the Ninefold Phantom Body will also become stronger. If he becomes a king-level or even an emperor-level powerhouse, it would be terrifying.
In fact, he had an exaggerated thought in his heart: he not only wanted the grade of the Movement Technique to continuously advance but also wanted the power of this demonic Phantom Body to increase. Currently, it only had the strength of one part of its original body; what if it had half or even all of its original strength? Just thinking about it made him tremble with excitement!
"Hehe, your idea is good, but this self-created Movement Technique requires continuous deduction to improve, which may not be so easy. You need to be mentally prepared," Demon Emperor reminded him with a smile.
"Don't worry, I have plenty of patience and time. Right now, this Movement Technique is completely sufficient before reaching the sect-level powerhouse. Next, I just need to seek opportunities for breakthroughs."
"Yes, you have been fighting continuously for two years, and your cultivation has already reached the peak of the Martial Master realm; you can definitely attempt a breakthrough now. In fact, becoming a respected-level powerhouse isn't that difficult; it's just about accumulating true energy or demonic energy within your body. The demonic energy here is dense, making it perfect for a breakthrough."
"That's right; since there is no true energy here, I can only break through using demonic energy. But will this affect me later?" Ren Pingsheng asked uncertainly.
"This won't be a problem; the cultivation method you practice is the most miraculous one I've ever seen. It can operate using both true energy and demonic energy without any issues—it's simply unheard of. Now that you are breaking through with demonic energy, you can break through with true energy again once you go outside. So there's no need to worry," Demon Emperor reassured him.
In his heart, he actually hoped that Ren Pingsheng would cultivate the methods of the demon race. Unfortunately, Ren Pingsheng's Ancient Lan Divine Art was so extraordinary that it didn't require additional cultivation of demon race methods to operate smoothly.
"Now I can rest assured. First, I'll break through the Soul Secret Method and then prepare for my cultivation breakthrough," Ren Pingsheng said as he felt relieved.
His Soul Refinement Art was already on the verge of breaking through to the second layer. Only by breaking through to the second layer could his cultivation advance. This was an unremovable limitation in practicing the Soul Refinement Art.
With the help of the Ninefold Phantom Body, even if Ren Pingsheng sat still, as long as his internal demonic energy was not completely exhausted, this Ninefold Phantom Body would always exist. Even if it only had one part of Ren Pingsheng's original strength, it still possessed mid-level Martial Master realm cultivation, which was enough to deal with these demons.
Ren Pingsheng sat quietly while the Ninefold Phantom Body guarded around him. The incoming demons were all stopped without exception; they couldn't even get close to Ren Pingsheng.
In his sea of consciousness, a gray soul vortex was spinning. After breaking through the first layer of the Soul Refinement Art, his sea of consciousness expanded slightly. Now that he was on the verge of breaking through to the second layer, his sea of consciousness had grown even larger than before because there were two fewer gray clouds at its edge than last time.
Currently, the gray soul vortex was continuously devouring the third gray cloud. This cloud was already incomplete and contained less than one-third of its original body. As soon as he completely devoured this gray cloud, he would be able to break through to the second layer of the Soul Refinement Art.
To break through the first layer required devouring one gray cloud; to break through the second layer required devouring three gray clouds. These were all latent soul power or potential; when all these gray clouds disappeared completely, it indicated that a person's potential had been fully developed.
In the Sea of Consciousness, the Gray Soul Whirlwind spun faster and faster, devouring the fragmented Gray Clouds with no resistance. After about half an hour, only the last trace of Gray Clouds remained. Then it was swept away by the Soul Whirlwind, disappearing without a trace.
The continuously rotating Soul Whirlwind suddenly paused as if it had eaten its fill. It began to tremble, and then the vibrations grew stronger until, with a loud boom, it expanded outward. Ren Pingsheng felt a deafening roar in his mind, taking quite some time to recover.
At that moment, he felt refreshed, as if something intangible had been added to him, enhancing his understanding of the world around him. The Soul Whirlwind in the Sea of Consciousness gradually calmed down and began to rotate slowly.
The space left vacant after the disappearance of the Gray Clouds was also occupied by the Sea of Consciousness. Now, the Sea of Consciousness appeared to be half larger than it was initially. If this continued, it was likely that the Sea of Consciousness would grow even larger. This also represented an increase in a person's potential, talent, and comprehension.
"Ah... not bad. The Soul secret technique has finally broken through; next is my cultivation level. The Supreme Expert is not far off," Ren Pingsheng opened his eyes, and the divine light in his gaze flickered and vanished, leaving behind a restrained yet profound aura.
Two days later, after all preparations were complete, Ren Pingsheng's energy reached its peak before he sat down to prepare for a breakthrough in his cultivation.
The Nine Great Phantoms quietly guarded nearby; however, after summoning them this time, he severed their connection. A breakthrough in cultivation required complete focus; he did not want any distractions. In this case, once the Demonic Energy within the Ninefold Phantom Body was exhausted, it would automatically dissipate.
To be safe, Ren Pingsheng specially arranged some defensive formations he had learned from the Demon Emperor. With these formations and the protection of the Ninefold Phantom Body, he could proceed with his breakthrough with peace of mind.
With his eyes closed, Ren Pingsheng's Dantian began to rotate the Six-Colored Cyclone again. The nearby Demonic Energy was drawn in, flowing into his body in streams.
The black energy grew brighter and brighter, showing signs of dominating everything else. Although the other five colors were temporarily suppressed, they were not significantly affected and continued to spin incessantly. A large amount of Demonic Energy was absorbed and refined through the cyclone formed by the Six-Colored Cloud, gathering more and more in the pool below.
Initially, this place was filled with True Qi; now it had all turned into Pitch-Black Demonic Fog. The space here was vast; currently, only two-thirds of it was filled with gathered Demonic Energy. When it was completely filled with Demonic Energy, that would be the moment for a breakthrough.
