Supreme Demon God

Chapter 158: Dark Cloud Ruins

Somewhere in Spirit Island, the mist was lingering and the wind was raging.

This place was called Dark Cloud Ruins, which was similar to the Dark Mist Mountain near Sun Martial City. There were many ghosts, but the number of ghosts here was much more than that of Dark Mist Mountain, and the strength of the ghosts was much stronger than that of Dark Mist Mountain.

According to the introduction in "Spirit Island's Secrets", many people had been buried in the Dark Cloud Ruins, and the disciples of the Seraphic Sword Sect who participated in the trial were also advised not to enter the Dark Cloud Ruins, otherwise, their lives would not be saved.

Mo Xiu knew the dangers of the Dark Cloud Ruins, but he still took Xing Yuyan and Yuan Rou to the outside of the Dark Cloud Ruins.

Not because he was worried about the pursuit of Arcane Truth Sect and Jasper Blossom Sect disciples, but because the Dark Cloud Ruins might have the answer he wanted.

Moreover, his Shadow Demon Guards had not been dispatched for a long time before because their strength had not been able to keep up, even if they were to be dispatched in the previous battles, it was of no use. The strength of the ghost here was so powerful, but it was just right that they could be used to increase the strength of the Shadow Demon Guards.

Xing Yuyan knew that the Dark Cloud Ruins were ahead, but she didn't know Mo Xiu's intentions.

Before the three of them stepped into the Dark Cloud Ruins, she quickly asked, "Senior brother, will we enter the Dark Cloud Ruins?"

"Yes," Mo Xiu nodded gently.

"Why enter the Dark Cloud Ruins? This place is extremely dangerous; a careless step may let us be buried here," Xing Yuyan said slightly worried.

"I know," Mo Xiu waved his hand, "don't worry, there will be no problems with me here."

Xing Yuyan still didn't understand, but when Mo Xiu said so, she stopped asking more questions.

If there was only Mo Xiu alone, facing those ghosts, there was no need to do anything at all.

But there was there additional Xing Yuyan around, besides her Five Elements Divine Vein, she was no different from an ordinary to him, unable to stop the erosive energy of the powerful ghosts.

With Mo Xiu's methods, there were many ways to keep Xing Yuyan, allowing Xing Yuyan to walk freely in the Dark Cloud Ruins.

After thinking about it again and again, he decided to use a method that he had used in Dark Mist Mountain.

After silently reading the familiar formula, a piece of golden light lit up, enclosing the three of Mo Xiu, Yuan Rou, and Xing Yuyan.

After that, Mo Xiu took Yuan and Xing Yuyan into the Dark Cloud Ruins.

After the negative and gloomy wind that contained erosive energy struck the golden light, it immediately dispersed to the two sides. The surrounding ghosts also wanted to approach the three of them, but they did not dare to approach the golden light, they would be wiped out immediately otherwise.

"It can dispel the ghosts? What kind of technique is this?" Xing Yuyan couldn't help asking.

"It's not a technique, it's a secret art," Mo Xiu said lightly before he relayed this secret art into Xing Yuyan's Sea of Knowledge with his Divine Consciousness.

After Xing Yuyan browsed through it, she was surprised, and said with emotion, "There is such a secret art, it is really a wonder."

"There are many more methods you don't know, and I will teach them to you slowly in the future," Mo Xiu said casually.

Xing Yuyan was stunned for a moment, and said quickly, "Thank you brother, it's just..."

"Just what?" Mo Xiu asked.

Xing Yuyan wanted to speak but stopped.

Mo Xiu saw through Xing Yuyan's mind and slowly said, "Don't you think I should teach you so many methods? You are not my apprentice. It stands to reason that I shouldn't teach, but don't forget, I need you to do things for me, if you don't know any methods, how do you do things for me?"

There were still some things that Mo Xiu didn't say. What he taught to Xing Yuyan was just one of the thousands of methods he mastered. For what he really mastered, it was not even a fur.

Moreover, since the moment Xing Yuyan began to practice the Great Five Elements Divine Art, Xing Yuyan's life had been held in his hands. He could deprive Xing Yuyan of her life with a single thought, but Xing Yuyan didn't know it.

It wasn't because he didn't believe in Xing Yuyan, but Lan Xiao's betrayal left him deep in his memory. He could choose to do everything alone, but some things were really too time-wasting if he were to do it himself. Therefore, acquiring subordinates was a must. But some backdoor methods were still necessary. In any case, it was necessary to prevent those ugly things from happening again.

Having mastered Xing Yuyan's life and death, teaching Xing Yuyan some life-saving methods was nothing at all, anyway, Xing Yuyan would not have the opportunity to threaten Mo Xiu.

Xing Yuyan didn't know the doorway behind her. After hearing Mo Xiu's words, she was still a little moved and nodded, "I understand."

Yuan Rou knew better. She looked at Mo Xiu and Xing Yuyan, her eyes rolled, but she still didn't say anything in the end.

After entering the Dark Cloud Ruins, Mo Xiu found a place to stay and immediately said to Xing Yuyan, "You haven't transformed your main cultivation technique to the Great Five Elements Divine Art yet. Just transform it here. After the transformation, I will help you unlock the blockade of your Divine Vein, and teach you how to use the power of the Divine Vein by the way."

"Here?" Xing Yuyan's face twitched slightly.

Mo Xiu nodded to confirm.

Although she thought it was a bit strange to practice in Dark Cloud Ruins, it was Mo Xiu who proposed it, so Xing Yuyan didn't have much to say.

After a second, she found a clean place to sit cross-legged and began to transform her basic cultivation technique.

While protecting Xing Yuyan's cultivation process, Mo Xiu extended his Divine Consciousness to investigate every move in the Dark Cloud Ruins.

"Help me, help me..." a weak voice rang.

Mo Xiu's expression remained unchanged and indifferent as if he hadn't heard that sound at all.

After roughly understanding the situation of the Dark Cloud Ruins, he raised his hand with a wave, and eight Shadow Demon Guards came out from behind him, walked out of the golden light, and swallowed the ghosts in the Dark Cloud Ruins.

Every time a ghost was swallowed, the strength of the Shadow Demon Guards became stronger, the black body of the Shadow Demon Guards gradually became more solid, and their size also grew little by little.

"Brother Xiu, what is that?" Yuan Rou saw Mo Xiu's Shadow Demon Guards for the first time.

Mo Xiu briefly explained the existence of the Shadow Demon Guard, and then stopped speaking.

Seven days passed in a flash.

Xing Yuyan finally transformed her basic cultivation technique to the Great Five Elements Divine Art. Her True Energy circulated and turned into a rainbow color. Her cultivation base had not changed, still in the Great Perfection-stage of the Essence Converging Realm.

She opened her eyes and looked at Mo Xiu.

Mo Xiu understood, raised his hand, and tapped on each of Xing Yuyan's acupuncture points. This was to lift the blockade of the Five Elements Divine Art.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

There were loud noises continuously before a violent aura burst out, making Xing Yuyan tremble, then she hurriedly ran the Great Five Elements Divine Art to stabilize her mind.

The strength in her body was constantly gathering altogether, and in the blink of an eye, her cultivation level broke through from the Essence Converging Realm to the Early-stage of the Abstruse Form realm.

The multicolored rays of light spread, the True Energy of the multicolored rays was constantly transforming her body, making her body stronger.

Not long after, her cultivation level rose from the Early-stage of the Abstruse Form Realm to the Middle-stage of the Abstruse Form Realm, then the Late-stage, and finally the Great Perfection-stage.

Her body and mind were incomparably ethereal, and her whole person seemed to be very light. The feeling of having a myriad amount of True Energy made her very fascinated. After the shackle of the Five Elements Divine Vein was lifted, she felt that her entire life had also undergone earth-shaking changes.

Prior to this, the existence of the Five Elements Divine Vein was a very painful thing for her, but now, she discovered how powerful the Five Elements Divine Vein was and how lucky she was to possess the Five Elements Divine Vein.

She quickly opened her eyes and said to Mo Xiu, "Thank you, senior brother!"

"How do you feel?" Mo Xiu asked.

"Excellent," Xing Yuyan replied with great joy.

Mo Xiu saw that Xing Yuyan's cultivation was only one aspect, and it was a matter of course that her True Energy became stronger. From the outside, Xing Yuyan's appearance became more refined, and her temperament also became extraordinary. This girl also felt a lot more confident, and this was the effect of the Five Elements Divine Vein.

Given time, Xing Yuyan would probably not lose to Song Shenxue in terms of appearance and strength.

Such a change was in Mo Xiu's expectation, and he felt not bad to see it happen.

He patted Xing Yuyan's forehead, and another technique was sealed in Xing Yuyan's Sea of Knowledge.

Xing Yuyan glanced at the extra technique in her Sea of Knowledge, and couldn't help but wonder.

"This is the second technique you need to practice. It allows you to make better use of the Five Elements Divine Art," Mo Xiu explained timely.

Xing Yuyan nodded, "Understood."

Mo Xiu looked around, and with a thought, the eight Shadow Demon Guards flew back.

Each Shadow Demon Guard was more than ten feet high, its body was also solid, but it was still pure black as if it were all made of black iron. Its eyes were still glowing with blood-red light, when the fierce light was revealed, it gave people a feeling of gloom and dreadful horror.

"What are these?"

Xing Yuyan was startled, she assumed that these black guys were monsters in the Dark Cloud Ruins that launched an attack at them, so much so that she almost shot at the Shadow Demon Guards.

Mo Xiu stopped Xing Yuyan in time, and said calmly, "They are the Shadow Demon Guards I refined, not enemies."

"Shadow Demon Guard? Senior brother refined them?" Xing Yuyan was very surprised for the nth time.

After seven days of devouring, each Shadow Demon Guard had a combat power equivalent to a cultivator in the Great Perfection-stage of the Abstruse Form Realm. Together, the eight Shadow Demon Guards could even fight against the experts in the Early-stage of the Abstruse Form Condensation Realm.

Now, even Xing Yuyan might not be the opponent of the eight Shadow Demon Guards.

If Mo Xiu wanted the strength of the Shadow Demon Guard to continue to improve, he must let them continue to swallow the ghosts, but the powerful ghosts in the Dark Cloud Ruins had almost been swallowed by them, even if they continued to be swallowed, it was still difficult to improve.

Only by finding another place with strong negative energy could the strength of the Shadow Demon Guard go further.

Having a combat power equivalent to a Great Perfection-stage Abstruse Form Realm expert, this was enough for Mo Xiu.

He raised his hand and waved, the eight Shadow Demon Guards all flew behind him and disappeared.

After that, he turned his head and said to both Xing Yuyan and Yuan Rou, "There is a half-dead person in the depths of the Dark Cloud Ruins. Let's go and see if we can ask something useful."

"A half-dead person?" Yuan Rou and Xing Yuyan felt a little puzzled.

Mo Xiu did not explain, but walked towards the depths of the Dark Cloud Ruins with Yuan and Xing Yuyan.

After a while, the three of them came to a large, broken array. Inside the large array, several giant chains restrained a scrawny person, looking dying.

"Help me, help me..." a weak voice rang, exactly the same as the cry for help that Mo Xiu detected with his Divine Consciousness before.
