Within his eyes, a faint demonic flame flickered. At the same time, the clothes on his body began to flutter despite the absence of wind. A faint demonic aura began to spread from his body.
Ouyang Hua personally witnessed this change and his eyes were filled with shock. He took a deep breath and subconsciously took a few steps back. He mumbled to himself, "Rumor has it that when outsiders absorb demonic energy for the first time, their bodies will have a change in demonic energy. This rumor is indeed true!"
The demonic spiritual energy coming from the demonic spiritual energy inside his body made his body feel very comfortable. This feeling was very intoxicating.
Wang Lin's eyes narrowed and the demonic fire in his eyes disappeared. The demonic spiritual energy around his body also disappeared and he returned to normal.
"This demonic spiritual energy that is similar to celestial spiritual energy is very strange. After absorbing this demonic spiritual energy, it will form a different type. This demonic spiritual energy should be able to fuse with celestial spiritual energy to increase my cultivation. However, there is too little demonic spiritual energy, so I can't test it."
Wang Lin pondered a bit before touching his bag of holding and more than 10 jade bottles flew out. He waved his sleeve and they landed next to Ouyang Hua's feet.
Ouyang Hua's mind trembled as he quickly opened the jade bottles one by one and put them away. He was very excited.
"You can leave. I'm going to cultivate here. I'll leave tomorrow morning!"
Wang Lin calmly said, then he no longer paid attention to Ouyang Hua. He sat down in the lotus position, closed his eyes, and looked at the demonic spiritual energy crystal inside his dantian.
Ouyang Hua quickly nodded, respectfully bowed, and then retreated far away.
Soon, this place became quiet, but occasionally there would be laughter coming from the bonfires in the distance.
Wang Lin was completely immersed in his dantian as he carefully felt the demonic spiritual energy crystal.
"If there is a lot of this, even if it can't be fused, it will still have other effects. There are no less than 1,000 people that have entered the East Demon Spirit Sea. I believe their goal is this demonic spiritual energy crystal.
"The slaughter between them is nothing more than stealing the demonic spiritual energy crystal from each other.
I just don't know what other uses this demonic spiritual energy crystal has.
Thinking about it, this demonic spiritual energy must have some other use. Or else it wouldn't have caused the rain of blood that Ouyang Hua spoke of.
"I'm afraid there are still some secrets that I don't know about. Only by unraveling all of these secrets can I decide on my next step. I'll be here for 500 years. 500 years is not a long time, but it's not a short time either. If absorbing this demonic spiritual energy can increase my cultivation, then I'll let go and slaughter like I did back in the Sea of Devils!"
A cold light flashed in Wang Lin's eyes as he licked his lips.
Time passed slowly, and night came. The sky was dark, and the bonfire in the valley was still burning, but the surrounding residents had already returned to their houses to rest.
The only people who were resting were the women and children. All of the men came out of their houses, holding various types of weapons in their hands as they gathered at the mouth of the valley.
Ouyang Hua was also among them. His gaze was serious as he stared outside the valley.
Shortly after, he turned around and looked at the bottom of the Gourd Valley. That was where Wang Lin was cultivating.
"I hope this formation can resist the demonic spirits and Supreme Celestial can help …" Ouyang Hua let out a sigh. The reason he changed his mind and invited Wang Lin into the valley, aside from the fact that he couldn't resist the demonic spirits, was because after the formation was weakened, he wasn't sure if it would be able to resist tonight's demonic spirit hunt. That's why he insisted on letting Wang Lin stay, told Wang Lin a lot of secrets, and even gave Wang Lin the only demonic spiritual energy crystal he had in the valley.
Ouyang Hua did all of this with a purpose. His purpose was to hope that Wang Lin would help in a moment of crisis.
He looked at the residents around him, took a deep breath, and said, "I won't say much about what to do during the night of the demonic spirit hunt. Just endure through tonight and everything will be safe!"
While Wang Lin was cultivating, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at the sky. Although the sky was still dark, there was a change in Wang Lin's eyes.
Within the darkness, there was a hint of purple Qi. Streams of beastly force of different strengths filled the sky and spread out from the distance like waves.
This valley wasn't its target; it was just a place it was passing by.
Staring at the sky, Wang Lin's eyes flashed with decisiveness. Without hesitation, he pointed at his brow and a sliver of his origin soul turned into divine sense. It left his body, passed through the valley's formation, and appeared in the sky.
The Divine Sense that was transformed from the Primordial Spirit did not stop. Like a wisp of green smoke, it flashed like lightning and charged straight towards the Demonic Qi that was sweeping over like a raging tide in the distance.
The closer it got, the more intense the impact of the demonic spiritual energy became. The range of this wave of demonic spiritual energy was too large; one couldn't even see the end.
Along the way, wherever the Demonic Qi covered, not a single blade of grass would grow. Even some of the wild beasts that were covered by the Demonic Qi let out miserable cries and turned into bones.
After witnessing all of this, Wang Lin slightly frowned.
At this moment, if one looked down at the East Demon Spirit Land from above, they would clearly see a purple shockwave spreading out in a circle with one place as the center. The range of this spread was very large, and it was using the entire Demon Spirit Land as a reference.
The sliver of divine sense formed by Wang Lin's origin soul checked it for a bit before quickly withdrawing. However, just at this moment, Wang Lin's origin soul suddenly stopped and his divine sense spread out. It broke through the demonic spiritual energy wave and entered the depths of the demonic spiritual energy wave.
He saw that in the depths of the demonic spiritual energy wave, aside from the strands of purple gas, there was another person!
This person was wearing black, his face was cold, and his lips were thin. He gave off a harsh aura, and at this moment, he held a black sword in his hand. As he waved it, strands of purple gas surrounded the sword.
At the same time, a large amount of demonic spiritual energy was being absorbed by this person like crazy.
The moment Wang Lin's divine sense swept by, the black-robed man slowly raised his head and coldly looked over. He revealed an extremely cold smile.
"Your cultivation is not bad to be able to discover my existence. I originally wanted to give you a surprise!"
The black-robed man pointed at the void and slowly said, "You can only say that you are unlucky to have met me. Even if you hand over the demon crystal, it's useless. You are my prey!"
The divine sense formed by Wang Lin's origin soul coldly looked at the black-robed man and flew back without a word. The black-robed man didn't stop him and only revealed a contemptuous smile.
"A mere mid stage Soul Transformation cultivator. No matter what sect you are from, you will without a doubt die today!
After taking his demon crystal, I should barely have the qualifications to enter Sky Demon City … "There was a hint of fanaticism in the black-robed man's eyes.
Inside the valley, after withdrawing his divine sense, Wang Lin's eyes became cold.
"He is the first planet Tian Yun cultivator I've met. He is at the peak of the late stage of Soul Transformation … However, it won't be easy for him to kill me!"
Outside the valley, waves of demonic energy whistled in like raging waves, directly crashing into the valley. At this moment, the array formation of the valley was immediately activated. Bursts of green light constantly flickered, resisting the impact of the demonic energy.
However, the impact of the demonic spiritual energy wasn't short; it continued. The formation on the valley gradually flashed and showed signs of not being able to withstand it.
Although the valley was still very quiet, there was a hint of seriousness in the atmosphere.
All of the adult males at the entrance of the valley held their weapons tightly, and their palms were covered in sweat.
Their eyes were fixed on the entrance of the valley and their breathing became heavy.
Ouyang Hua was standing in front of everyone. He raised his hand and a complex chant came out of his mouth to maintain the operation of the formation.
The night of the demonic spirit hunt happens every three months. For Ouyang Hua, he was very confident in the formation, but today he was very uneasy. The formation's power had been weakened by Wang Lin, so he wasn't sure if it would be able to withstand the demonic spirit's spiritual energy today.
Once the array breaks, all the living things in the valley will be devoured by the demon spirit hidden within the demonic aura.
Right now, with the impact of the waves of demonic spiritual energy, the formation in the valley couldn't withstand it anymore. Cracking sounds could be heard and it began to show signs of breaking.
Just at this moment, a violent rumble came from inside the valley. It was clear that something heavy was smashing into the formation. The formation trembled and more cracks appeared on it!
Within the ravine, the intense rumbling could be clearly felt. Countless women and children in their houses were immediately startled awake.
Far away, the black-robed man inside the waves of demonic spiritual energy waved his sword and blood sprayed everywhere. A strange, black beast about 10 feet long with a single horn appeared from the demonic spiritual energy. The moment it appeared, it was cut in half by the black-robed man!
After killing it, the black-robed man inhaled and a surge of demonic spiritual energy came out from the beast and entered the black-robed man's orifices.
An extremely comfortable feeling filled his body. Shortly after, his eyes lit up and he stared at the valley in the distance. A cruel smile appeared on his face as he swung the sword in his hand. He turned into a ray of lightning and charged toward the valley in the distance.
The black-robed young man's body moved, and he floated up like a willow catkin. With a flash, he appeared on the lightning flying sword and charged toward the valley.
Inside the valley, Wang Lin stood up and took a step forward. He turned into a cloud of smoke and appeared next to Ouyang Hua and company.
His silent appearance immediately caused the faces of the people in the surrounding valley to change, and they all subconsciously scattered.
Ouyang Hua's face was filled with joy and he quickly said, "Celestial, save me!"
Just as he finished speaking, the lightning sword closed in from outside the valley. The black-robed man's cold voice came from it.
"The hunt begins!"
