The Devilish Immortal

Chapter 222 Weapon Incantation and Spirit Swallowing Bugs

Having stayed in the Virtual Land for only one day, Lyu Liang had to return to the Star Space. That was because the Tai-Yin and Tai-Yang Qi were not as easy to cultivate as he expected, and one day was his time limitation. Although he went out in time, he still felt a little scared.

The half-day cultivation had had a good effect on Lyu Liang. After being strengthened by the Tai-Yang and Tai-Yin Qi, his Divine Soul infused almost perfectly with the Holy Soul Order, and he also felt that his Divine Body was getting stronger!

But later that day, Lyu Liang felt a slight sense of swelling in his Divine Soul. He did not care about it at first, but then, such a feeling became much stronger. If he had not stimulated a part of his Divine Mark power to suppress it, his Divine Soul might have exploded!

“Don’t be greedy. Even a Supreme Master can cultivate for only a day. According to your level, you’d better control the time within 10 hours and continue after 10 hours’ rest.” White spoke slowly after that.

Therefore, Lyu Liang began seeking other opportunities.

The house was massive. The main hall was where Tai-Yang and Tai-Yin Qi was found, and next to it were two wings.

When Lyu Liang went to the left wing, he found a dusty book, which was floating in midair. He stretched out his hand to fetch it, but Xuan warned him in his Divine Soul that it was not easy to get this book.

Rolling his eyes, Lyu Liang put on the Spirit Armor and stimulated the Field Domain, assuming a fighting posture. When he was a centimeter away from the book, a black flash suddenly hit him. Then, both the book and the people disappeared!

After a moment, in a chaotic place, Lyu Liang was experiencing a special battle!

It was special because his opponents were not living things, but some automatic cold weapons!

There were nearly a hundred cold weapons, and they were all above the upper-grade of immortal standard. They were either Pure-yang rarities or Innate Spirit Treasures. And there was even a golden sword, whose blade had numerous patterns, exuding an aura more formidable than that of his Kunwu Sword!

Fortunately, these weapons seemed to be good-mannered spirit beings. Only one of them fought against Lyu Liang at a time, and the other would stay around, making noise from time to time, as if they were commenting on Lyu Liang’s performance.

In such a weird atmosphere, Lyu Liang was fully concentrated because he knew that it was a test of him! After all, none of the treasures here could be obtained with ease.

Although he acquired the Tai-Yin and Tai-Yang Qi without any effort, Black told him that even a Divine Ancestor might fail to get through the Bounded Domain!

Hearing that, Lyu Liang was stunned by the Chaotic divine beasts’ mystery again! Their power could rival or even surpass that of a Divine Ancestor!

In this chaotic place, Lyu Liang was fighting against the third weapon!

His first opponent was a pitch-black sword, which was undoubtedly at the upper-grade of immortal standard!

However, Lyu Liang had the cultivation at the Middle-stage of Tao Master. Within less than 30 minutes, he defeated it with ease.

His second opponent was a golden, high-level, Pure-yang spear.

This was the first time that Lyu Liang fought against a magic treasure, which could use the Power of Law! Yes, a vague, white figure appeared from the spear. Then, it was like a man fighting with a spear, and all his moves were flexible and formidable. Although it also had the power at the Middle-stage of Tao Master, Lyu Liang felt that it was much harder this time!

After half an hour, having infused with the divine beasts several times, Lyu Liang finally won with Ape’s mighty strength.

The third combat began after one and a half hours. Actually, these divine weapons did not want to let Lyu Liang have a rest. Instead, they gathered around a golden sword, and it looked as if they were discussing who was the next to fight against Lyu Liang!

After a moment, a giant, cyan axe flew out from the crowd. Judging by its aura, it was undoubtedly an ultimate-grade existence among all the Innate Spirit Treasures!

Lyu Liang knew that he could not hide his strength now. Whether it was his last opponent or not, he had to exert his full effort!

Then, except for the Divine Mark, Lyu Liang stimulated all the moves! The axe, which had the power at the Early-stage of Heavenly Master, did not disappoint him!

This combat took him an hour in total! During the period, Lyu Liang was knocked into midair several times, but his robust body supported him to rush back over and over again!

At last, he won the battle with the Spiritual-Qi Bomb, which he had prepared for half an hour, and even almost destroyed the axe!

Then, all the divine weapons paused and turned to the golden sword.

Just when Lyu Liang hoped that he would not confront this golden sword, with a bright flash, it turned into a handsome boy, and said with a smile, “Stimulate your Divine Mark, and have a final fight with me! Will you?”

Hearing what he had said, Lyu Liang sighed in resignation. Then, his aura surged up, and a mark appeared on his forehead. As such, he was ready for the final fight!

Of course, he would not give up at this point!

Therefore, an earthshaking battle began between a man and a sword. This time, apart from the Divine Mark, Lyu Liang even used the Sword-Blood Soul Guide and the two puppets at the Tao Master level!

Since he entered the Star Space, Lyu Liang had been surprised to find that his wounds recovered fast, and that both his Divine Mark and the Sword-Blood Soul Guide became more powerful!

If he summoned the puppets and the move here, he might not be able to use them elsewhere. But even so, Lyu Liang had no other choice! The book, which was protected so well, definitely deserved such consumption!

After two and a half hours, Lyu Liang exhausted his Divine Mark Power and failed.

“Alas!” Lyu Liang heaved a deep sigh in resignation. But then, he settled down with strong fighting intent in his eyes!

The handsome boy smiled slightly and said, “You don’t accept the result?”

Lyu Liang nodded and said, “I’m powerful, but you are too powerful!”

Hearing Lyu Liang’s special answer, the handsome boy’s eyes lit up. Then, he clapped his hands and said with a laugh, “What an interesting Taoist Heart! You’ve passed the test!” Before Lyu Liang could react, the entire chaotic place shook violently!

Lyu Liang gradually lost consciousness with a doubt. “What did he mean? I failed but passed the test…”

After a moment, Lyu Liang regained consciousness and found that he was still in the stone house, stretching out his hand to touch the book. However, this time, he grasped it in his hand directly!

There were two golden words on its cover: Weapon Incantation!

The book was thin, and it seemed to have only a few lines of words. But when Lyu Liang finished reading it, he got very excited!

Weapon Incantation was a secret method, which could use any divine weapon to strengthen his life-bonded one!

According to the book, Lyu Liang adopted the Kunwu Sword as his life-bonded divine weapon, and he could infuse any other useless ones with it. In this way, the Kunwu Sword could have the power beyond a normal Innate Spirit Treasure!

All this way, Lyu Liang had obtained over a thousand storage bags of magic treasures. Among the treasures, there had been a thousand at the immortal standard. All of these had been useless to him, but now, the more, the better!

Without any hesitation, Lyu Liang sorted out the Feiling Sword, the Gold-thunder Five-dragon Sword, the Celadon Jade Seal, as well as the God Whipping Whip, his family heirloom. Then, he began infusing all the other weapons into the Kunwu Sword!

Since the Kunwu Sword was connected with his Life-Soul, when he infused other weapons into it, he could feel that his cultivation was also improving.

Lyu Liang planned to spend half a day on Tai-Yang and Tai-Yin Qi, and the other half on the Weapon Incantation.

However, White told him that there was a more powerful treasure in the right wing. No matter how stable his Taoist Heart was, his mind began to go blank…

When Lyu Liang went out of the left wing, he was surprised to find that his Divine Mark and the Sword-Blood Soul Guide had recovered to the best state!

Then, he went to the right wing in excitement, but he was stunned because it was totally different from the left wing!

Unlike the main hall or the left wing, the right wing was a cave!

The cave was not deep, and there was not anything special there. Anyhow, it was just like an empty stone hall.

But when Lyu Liang saw with Little Tian’s help, he cried out subconsciously.

There were several black bugs on the wall. The biggest one was the size of a fist, and the smallest one was just slightly bigger than a fingernail.

“Are they powerful treasures?” Looking at the bugs, which were more than weak, Lyu Liang could not help asking.

He did not doubt White’s judgment, but even with Little Tian’s help, he did not know how powerful these ordinary bugs could be.

“Boy, don’t talk nonsense! Their seniority is higher than mine! They have existed since the Chaotic Universe!” White said seriously, which startled Lyu Liang much!

When Lyu Liang looked at these insignificant things again, he had a respectful and amazed look on his face!

“I’m Lyu Liang. I’m sorry for my naive words. Please forgive me!” Lyu Liang knelt and made three kowtows directly.

“Hoho, we accept the apology! Long time no see! You come here like this just for this naive boy?” An elder’s voice came from the cave. It was firm and not loud, but it caused Lyu Liang’s Divine Soul to quiver!

Hearing what he had said, White nodded but remained silent. The elder seemed to understand something and also quieted down.

Lyu Liang realized that they were talking to each other secretly, but he did not care about it at all. Since White and the bugs were all superior beings, it was very normal for them to have some secrets.

After a moment, they seemed to stop their communication. White said softly, “You can obtain this opportunity if you defeat the smallest one! Don’t underestimate it, or you will fail miserably!” Then, he infused into Lyu Liang’s body.

The elder’s voice sounded again, “Boy, you have two chances, and six hours for each time. You need to defeat it within the time limitation!”

Stunned, Lyu Liang did not feel happy to have one more chance because it also meant that the test had to be very difficult!

Then, with a black flash, the smallest bug flew slowly at him.

“The test begins. You can use any move because this place is protected by a powerful restriction formation. As long as you can beat my kid down to the ground, you will pass the test!” After that, the elder did not say a word more.

Lyu Liang braced up, his aura surging to the fullest. He stared at the little bug, which was approaching him, and did not relax at all.

Then, Lyu Liang took action first. He launched the attack with the Virtual-Spirit Sword Essence and the Soul Breaking Palm. At the same time, he began preparing a Spiritual Qi Bomb with his left hand!

But the next moment, he was totally stunned!

Facing such a fierce aura, the little bug did not try to escape at all. Instead, it cried in excitement and rushed forward. Then, it began gulping the Spiritual Qi of the Five Acts of Heaven Soul!

Within two breaths of time, Lyu Liang’s strong attack was swallowed up by the little bug! It even spun in satisfaction and burped, which disappointed Lyu Liang greatly!

But if he gave up just for missing a blow, he would not be Lyu Liang anymore!

Then, he stimulated the Sword-Blood Soul Guide and the Divine Mark Power, and began bombarding the little bug!

This time, the little bug was not that relaxed. Although it was still absorbing Lyu Liang’s moves, it was somehow tumbled by various explosion clouds. But even so, it just wobbled in midair like a drunk, far from falling down.

After half an hour, Lyu Liang finally threw out the Spiritual Qi Bomb, and the entire cave began shaking violently!

But when everything quieted down, the black bug started flying proudly again, which made Lyu Liang feel more than helpless…

Although it looked very ordinary, even a Divine Ancestor would be stunned by its toughness!

When Lyu Liang was thinking about giving up, the elder’s voice sounded again, “Child, you can attack him now. If he admits defeat, just let go of him.”

Lyu Liang was not shocked this time, but instead, his heart was filled with awe and expectation!

The little bug had just shown its defensive capability, then what about its attacking capability?

In the first combat, Lyu Liang had been totally defeated. After the Spiritual Qi Bomb failed to influence the bug even a bit, he assembled his Divine Mark power and the Sword-Blood Soul Guide directly. That was because he knew that even if he exhausted his Spiritual Qi, the result would be the same.

Following the elder’s instructions, the little bug flew slowly at Lyu Liang. At this moment, Lyu Liang was more than alert!

“Boy, if you can’t hold on, admit defeat at once. It’s not a shame!” White warned him seriously, which made Lyu Liang feel that this was a moment of life and death!

When the bug was about 10 meters away from Lyu Liang, with a black flash, it disappeared suddenly!

No! It did not disappear! The fact was that its speed had surpassed the normal level! When Lyu Liang found it again, it had attached itself onto his back and swiftly entered his body!

“I lose!” Lyu Liang cried out without hesitation. Then, the little bug came out of his forehead along with his cold sweat…

“Boy, you have one more chance, and it is also your last chance. Next time you come here, my kid will do more than defending!” the elder said softly, but it gave Lyu Liang a strong sense of heaviness.

When Lyu Liang walked out in disappointment, he planned to consult White about it. But as the words rose to his lips, he opened his mouth but did not make any sound.

“Someday, I can depend on myself!” Lyu Liang warned himself. He could ask the divine beasts for help sometimes, but he could not rely on their existence all the time!

Time was valuable. Lyu Liang entered the Virtual Land directly and began cultivating the Weapon Incantation. At the same time, he racked his brains, trying to figure out a way to defeat the little bug.

Very soon, half a year passed. During this period, Lyu Liang focused only on the cultivation of the Tai-Yang and Tai-Yin Qi and the Weapon Incantation. Of course, he was still thinking about the method to deal with the little bug…

One day, he felt very bored and walked out of the house. Just then, he saw Fatty, who had transformed into a human and was striking a one-meter-tall stone egg with a huge, golden hammer.

Fatty exerted all his strength with every blow, without stimulating any Demon Qi, while the stone egg sparked and began cracking.

Lyu Liang watched that with interest for 30 minutes, until Fatty felt was exhausted and sat on the ground, gasping. Half an hour later, the light cracks on the egg began recovering magically…

“Fatty, what are you doing? What is in this stone egg? It seems that it is not easy to open.” Lyu Liang walked over and observed the egg. But even though his eyes could penetrate the shell, what he could see was merely a scene of chaos.

“B-boss, I also have no idea of what is inside. But I, I’m sure that it is a big treasure! I decided to take it out if I can’t open it!” Fatty stammered as he panted.

Lyu Liang rubbed his chin and asked, “So you’re striking it with brute force?”

Fatty rose and shook his head as he said, “I tried to break it with mana, and even Donghuang Mufeng came to help me. But no matter how powerful our moves were, they would be absorbed by the egg and totally disappear. At last, I figured out this stupid method, which could finally crack the egg a bit. Maybe very soon… B-boss, what, what do you want to… Help!”

Just then, with his eyes lit up, Lyu Liang swung his arms around Fatty and even kissed him. Stunned and terrified, Fatty cried, “Boss, we are from different clans. Besides, I’m a big man…”

“Fatty! You’ve helped me a lot!” Lyu Liang cried out joyfully and rushed back into the stone house hastily.

“If I can’t defeat him with mana, I can try another way!” After seeing Fatty’s behavior, Lyu Liang suddenly figured out a method!

After that, Lyu Liang focused his mind on the cultivation of Tai-Yang and Tai-Yin Qi. At this time, he could spend a whole day in the Virtual Land without worrying about his Divine Soul.

One day, after one and a half years, with a sudden sound, the entire space began shaking violently. It was not until 30 minutes later that the place regained its peace.

Stunned, Lyu Liang realized that the deadline of this secret realm was drawing near. He heaved a deep sigh, and then, his eyes lit up. After more than a year, he decided to enter the right wing the second or the last time!

“Begin now.” The elder’s peaceful voice sounded, and the same little bug flew at him slowly.

This time, Lyu Liang did not stimulate any aura or Devil Immortal Qi. Raising his fist, he gave the bug a tough blow!

When his fist crashed into the bug, a loud bang resounded, and Lyu Liang was thrown back through the air until he knocked against the wall. The little bug was also influenced greatly by the collision. It turned numerous somersaults and got closer to the ground before the wall caught its body.

The next second, Lyu Liang and the bug disappeared at the same time. The bug was exceptionally fast, but Lyu Liang also had White’s assistance.

“Ding!” With a crisp sound, Lyu Liang emerged, while the bug was knocked back through the air!

“You have finished the cultivation of the Divine Body?” the elder asked in surprise.

“There is still a step to the full cultivation!” Lyu Liang replied respectfully, and then, he flashed to the little bug again.

This time, the intense battle lasted for three hours. During this period, except for White’s instantaneous flash, Lyu Liang did not use any Devil Immortal Qi again! Gradually, he dominated the combat against the bug.

Without any sign, another black bug of the same size flew at him, which meant that Lyu Liang had to confront two opponents now!

“Good!” With a roar, Lyu Liang assumed the fighting posture calmly.

After another two hours, a bug was beaten down to the ground, and the elder’s voice was heard in satisfaction. “All right, game over. You’ve passed the test! From today on, we, the Spirit Swallowing Bugs, will accompany you!”

“Spirit Swallowing Bugs?” It was the first time that Lyu Liang had heard about such spiritual creatures. He cupped his hands in front and said respectfully, “Senior, thanks for your kindness!”

“There are 16 of us here. Judging by your cultivation, you can control three at a time. Every time your cultivation improves a level, you can control more of us. I’m Swallowing Spirit. If you want to use my strength, you need to be above the Tao Ancestor level!” the elder said with a joyful smile. Apparently, he was delighted to go to the outside world.

Wild with joy, Lyu Liang expressed his gratitude over and over again before he consulted Swallowing Spirit about the manipulation method.

Three days later, the Star Space began shaking again. With the last glance at the trembling village, Lyu Liang, Donghuang Mufeng, and Fatty disappeared…
