Pain! An all-encompassing pain!
It felt as if his body had been disassembled into pieces and then forcibly welded back together with rusted iron. Ling Cang's consciousness was like a small boat in a stormy sea, on the verge of capsizing at any moment.
Yet deep within his awareness, a technique known as the Primordial Demon Sutra shone like the only screen illuminating the darkness, cold and clear, presenting him with the possibility of survival.
"Absorb the Demonic Qi of heaven and earth, refine the Primordial Demon Body..."
Ling Cang let out a bitter laugh. In this cursed place, there was no spiritual energy to be found—only a thick, suffocating substance that felt like swallowing shards of glass with every breath. Whether it was called Demonic Qi, Killing Intent, or some other nonsense, it was now his only option.
He struggled to follow the most basic breathing technique recorded in Demonic Scripture, cautiously drawing in the viscous, filthy air around him, filled with negative energy, trying to pull it into his body.
It was like taking a shot of the strongest vodka for the first time—downing it all at once.
A cold, violent stream filled with destruction and chaos forced its way into his nearly non-existent breath and surged into his shattered lungs!
"Pu—cough cough cough!"
The violent coughing came with fragments of his internal organs spilling out, and an even more intense pain instantly engulfed him! This was not energy; this was concentrated sulfuric acid! It was poison!
However, just when he thought he would die on the spot, something within the abandoned Dantian location and deep within his severed meridians seemed to be stirred by this "toxic gas."
It was the extremely faint yet pure remnants of spiritual power he had cultivated over twenty years.
Light and darkness, purity and filth—two completely opposing forces clashed within him without any foundational restraint, erupting in the most primal and intense conflict!
"Boom!"
Ling Cang felt as if his body had turned into a ticking time bomb, ready to explode! The alternating sensations of extreme cold and searing heat coursed through him; at times, it felt like he was plunging into an icy abyss, while at others, he was being consumed by flames! His meridians cracked like fragile glass tubes, and his internal organs were repeatedly crushed and torn apart in this violent turmoil.
"Damn it... this... this Demonic Scripture is a death warrant, isn't it?!" Ling Cang's soul raged in frustration, but the agony in his body made it difficult for him to maintain even a coherent thought.
This pain was a hundred times worse than when his cultivation had been stripped away! Back then, it was the emptiness and despair of losing power; now, every cell in his body was engaged in a mutual destruction that tormented him from the inside out!
The violent fluctuations caused by the energy conflict spread like ripples, accompanied by Ling Cang's uncontrollable screams.
Trouble always seemed to arrive at the most inopportune moments.
A colder, more powerful presence emerged from the darkness.
It was a monster, twisted and pieced together without a fixed form, its many tentacle-like limbs writhing silently. Its enormous scarlet vertical eyes radiated hunger and cruelty.
Abyssal Shadow Demon! A being that thrived on devouring souls and chaotic energy, far more dangerous than the previous Abyss Hound!
It clearly regarded the currently chaotic and suffering Ling Cang as an excellent prey.
"No way... not again?!" Ling Cang lamented internally as he caught a glimpse of the approaching shadow from the corner of his eye. He didn't even have the strength to move a finger; the internal energy conflict had pushed him to the brink of true death.
With energy running rampant inside him and powerful enemies lurking outside, he was truly in... a desperate situation!
Was it destined for me, Ling Cang, to die so pitifully in this dark and forsaken place?!
No! Absolutely not!!
Yue Kunlun is not dead! The Tian Yan Sword Sect has yet to pay the price!
Why?! Why can they sit high above while I am here being devoured by these disgusting things?!
I refuse to accept it! I will not be defeated!
Hatred! A searing hatred, like volcanic lava, erupts once more from the depths of my soul! The desire to survive, the obsession for revenge, at this moment transcends the pain of the flesh, surpasses the fear of death, transforming into the purest, most primal scream!
"Power! I need power! Whatever it is! Give me strength!!!"
This roar of the soul may have touched upon some forbidden force.
The "Primordial Demon Heart" that had long resided within him, which had initially merged with him and then fallen silent, merely passively emitting weak fluctuations, seemed to be completely awakened at this moment by this extreme will and the brink of death!
"Boom!!!"
A sound that seemed to come from the ancient primordial times, a heartbeat so heavy it resonated deep within Ling Cang's soul!
That dark heart awakened!
The vast primordial magical energy erupted like a world-destroying beast breaking free from eons of shackles!
The weak energies of good and evil that had been clashing within him were rendered insignificant like dust before this absolute power, instantly crushed, assimilated, and devoured!
The techniques of the "Primordial Demon Sutra" no longer required Ling Cang to actively operate; they were forcibly driven by this Demon Heart, crazily consuming all the energy in the surrounding space—Demonic Qi, Killing Intent, resentment, and even the fear and malice emitted by that Abyssal Shadow Demon were swallowed whole!
The excruciating pain did not dissipate; instead, it became even more terrifying! Countless fragments of laws concerning destruction, endings, and chaos surged into his mind like a torrent of information!
At the same time, an unprecedented power, terrifyingly strong, rapidly grew within his broken body! The severed meridians were replaced by more resilient magical patterns, shattered bones gleamed with a metallic luster under the refinement of magical energy, and desiccated flesh was revitalized!
“Roar…?”
The approaching Abyssal Shadow Demon seemed to sense the terrifying change occurring within its prey. Instinctively, it halted, a hint of confusion flickering in its crimson slit-like eyes, quickly followed by… fear!
The aura emanating from this tiny creature made it feel as though it was facing ancient beings at the deepest depths of the abyss—entities that even it dared not approach!
In that moment of hesitation from the shadow demon, Ling Cang’s eyes, which had been tightly shut in pain, suddenly snapped open!
What kind of eyes were those?
Like the darkest night, deep within the pupils, two points of dark red flames flickered slowly to life!
He made no movement, merely directing his gaze toward the Abyssal Shadow Demon.
In an instant, an invisible pressure, infused with an ultimate will for destruction, swept forth like a tangible force!
“Pfft!”
The formidable Abyssal Shadow Demon couldn’t even let out a scream; its massive shadowy form disintegrated instantly like ice melting under sunlight, transforming into pure darkness energy that was absorbed by Ling Cang’s Demon Heart from afar!
A one-hit kill! Just a single glance!
“…”
Ling Cang slowly blinked, the red glow in his eyes gradually fading away, returning to the clarity that belonged to him.
He felt the terrifying power surging within him—both familiar and strange—along with the Dark Heart beating strongly in his chest, as if connected to his very soul.
"This is... the Primordial Demon Sutra... and... the Primordial Demon Heart?"
He murmured to himself, his voice hoarse and dry.
He had survived.
Not only had he survived, but he had also gained unimaginable power.
The price was... a complete binding with this heart that represented destruction and chaos.
He looked down at his hands, where dark magical patterns faintly flowed beneath his skin. He was no longer the Ling Cang of the Tian Yan Sect.
"Very well..."
A cold, self-mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Since the heavens are unjust and the path to immortality is severed, then... in the name of demons, I shall reclaim everything I have lost from this hypocritical world!"
In the depths of darkness, a brand new existence opened his eyes.
