152. The Bronze Demon King (Additional Chapter for 220 Average Subscriptions – Please Subscribe)

“Howl…”

As expected, with the enhancement of his spiritual power, the roar emitted by the demon no longer exerted a mental pressure on him, allowing him to approach the demonic arm with relative ease.

“Ice Seal.”

Chen Fengyun swiftly resisted the demon’s oppressive aura and advanced quickly. He saw a large pool of bronze liquid falling to the ground, about to form a powerful demon creature. With a loud shout, he immediately used the Mysterious Yin Mirror to seal it.

Sure enough, the bronze liquid on the ground had not yet fully formed before being frozen by the Mysterious Yin energy. Chen Fengyun seized the moment, stepped forward, and reached out to touch the demonic arm.

Instantly, the cultivation system trembled violently, absorbing the immense energy. The demon seemed unprepared for this; by the time it noticed something was wrong and severed this section of the arm, Chen Fengyun had already gained 40 attribute points.

“Hahaha…”

Chen Fengyun laughed out loud. Previously, whenever he approached and killed the demon-created monsters, the demon would actively sever a part of its arm, thus absorbing a large amount of energy itself, which limited his gains.

However, this time he acted unexpectedly, starting to absorb energy before the demon could react, resulting in double the harvest—an exhilarating feeling.

“Howl…”

The demon continued to howl, this time swiftly forming a huge demon creature about three meters tall, shining with a bronze glow. Its aura was nearly at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

“Boom…”

The demon creature charged fiercely. Chen Fengyun had no choice but to engage in a fierce battle, his flying sword spiraling and dashing, the Mysterious Yin Mirror sweeping back and forth. Relying on his indestructible Vajra Body, he resisted the demon’s assault head-on, taking several minutes before finally defeating it.

It seemed that the bronze monsters the demon could summon could only reach the late Foundation Establishment level at most. Although the obstacles he faced grew stronger, Chen Fengyun exerted himself fully, eliminating all the demons and absorbing 120 attribute points. At this time, the demonic arm was reduced to about fifty meters in length.

Yet, the demon’s lingering consciousness seemed hidden within this final segment, concentrating all its remaining energy there. The aura exuded was even more overwhelming and astonishing, barely held back by Chen Fengyun’s spiritual power.

But Chen Fengyun noticed this segment of the demonic arm slowly retracting, eventually transforming into a demon creature standing four to five meters tall, its aura surpassing the late Foundation Establishment stage.

“Raise cultivation.”

Chen Fengyun decisively spent 160 attribute points, elevating his cultivation to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. Instantly, vast spiritual energy poured down, expanding his dantian into a boundless ocean.

A tremendously powerful aura radiated from him, causing the newly formed bronze demon beside him to roar in alarm—sensing a threat.

“Human, you shall die.”

The bronze demon king roared telepathically.

“Reveal your origin. Why did you appear at the human cultivator’s interdimensional teleportation array? And who severed your arm?” Chen Fengyun’s mind stirred as he replied telepathically.

“I am the Bronze Demon King of the Sixth Layer of the Endless Abyss. While traveling through the subspace, I discovered a gap in this teleportation array, intending to cross over and conquer this world. Unexpectedly, I encountered an immortal who had transcended the tribulation. He severed my arm here, but I dealt him a grievous wound as well, forcing him to ascend immediately to the Immortal Realm.

“For endless ages afterward, my bronze demonic aura has completely corrupted this world. Soon, I will invade the outer realm, absorbing enough energy to take form and be reborn here. But I did not anticipate encountering you, a human cultivator.

“Human, if you agree to bring me out of this world and help me take form and be reborn, I can grant you the power to become a supreme force and assist your ascension to the Immortal Realm.”

The Bronze Demon King tempted Chen Fengyun.

“Heh, with your current strength, taking form and rebirth won’t be so easy. Besides, since you’re of the demon race, why should I trust you? I think it’s better if you provide energy for me instead,” Chen Fengyun smiled coolly.

“Human, there is something strange within you that can absorb my energy. But once I kill you, this precious treasure will be mine.” Greed gleamed in the Bronze Demon King’s eyes.

“Howl…”

Seeing Chen Fengyun’s resolve, the demon king abandoned temptation and launched a direct attack. A bronze light shot toward him, accompanied by a massive spiritual demonic pressure.

“Hmph…”

Chen Fengyun said nothing, his body shimmering with golden light. He had already fully activated his indestructible Vajra Body, as the bronze demon’s body was composed of an incredibly hard bronze-like material, making a head-on clash futile.

Simultaneously, he waved the Mysterious Yin Mirror in his hand, releasing a wave of mysterious yin energy that swept toward the bronze light. The two forces collided instantly; some of the yin energy turned bronze-colored, but the bronze light soon froze.

“Whoosh…”

At the same time, Chen Fengyun’s flying sword flew in from the side, aiming directly at the demon king’s neck. Although its body was made of bronze, its neck and head were relatively weaker.

“Om Mani Padme Hum…”

Not only that, Chen Fengyun floated the Mysterious Yin Mirror above his head and formed hand seals. Combined with the Purification Sutra, he chanted the six-syllable mantra, emitting rays of Buddhist divine light that enveloped the Bronze Demon King.

“Howl…”

The Bronze Demon King roared furiously at the Buddhist light, but Chen Fengyun sensed its voice was weakened, and even its aura diminished.

“Whoosh…”

Taking advantage of the demon king’s confusion, the flying sword slashed through, severing one of its arms. The sword returned to Chen Fengyun’s side, and he grabbed it, confirming it could indeed absorb energy.

“Howl…”

The demon king bellowed after losing its arm, but a new demonic arm quickly grew back at the severed spot. Chen Fengyun could feel its aura weakening.

“Good, since that’s the case, I won’t let you off.”

Chen Fengyun thought, intensifying his attacks.

With that resolve, he spent 60 attribute points to enhance the Purification Sutra and the six-syllable mantra to mid-level Yellow Rank. Instantly, the power of the Buddhist light grew stronger, exerting greater suppression on the demon.

Soon, the flying sword severed one of the demon’s legs again. After retrieving it, Chen Fengyun absorbed its energy. Though the demon regrew the leg, its height shrank by half a meter and its aura dropped to late Foundation Establishment level.

Chen Fengyun methodically dismantled the demon like carving wood, shaving bits here and peeling layers there, continuously absorbing its energy until the demon was completely eradicated. By then, his remaining attribute points had risen to 184.

Before the demon finally dissipated, its lingering consciousness morphed into a cloud of bronze mist and tried to invade Chen Fengyun’s mind, intending to seize his body as a last resort. Yet, it was swallowed instead, granting Chen Fengyun scattered fragments of knowledge about the Endless Abyss.
