Wasted Spiritual Root to Embark on Demonic Cultivation从废灵根开始问魔修行

How could Wang Yu allow Pei Jia to simply lick the bottom of his shoe? If there was to be any licking, it had to involve some genuine filth; otherwise, it wouldn't be nearly as gratifying. After cultivating his nature in the Mountain Sea Realm for thirty years, arriving in the Demon Refining Domain unexpectedly made him feel liberated, like a fish returning to water—it was truly astonishing. Thus, he simply stomped Pei Jia's head into the bloody soil. The man was forced to rub his face against the ground repeatedly, his heart brimming with resentment and humiliation, yet utterly devoid of the courage to resist. He could only allow Wang Yu to vent his aggression. After several breaths, Wang Yu's eyes narrowed. He sensed that the destructive storm, triggered by absorbing Wu Neng's Grotto-heaven within his own, had subsided, and all the treasures left within that Grotto-heaven had been smoothly assimilated. With a sudden stomp of his foot, —Nine Dragons Undying Force! He needed no subordinates, nor were demonic cultivators in the Demon Refining Domain trustworthy. Who knew if Pei Jia possessed some secret art to break free from control? Therefore... all his prior actions had been a delay. Firstly, to intimidate the Divine Transformation cultivators so they wouldn't cause trouble when working for him. Secondly, to wait for the Myriad Transformations True Demon Grotto-Heaven to suppress the destructive impact of absorbing the first Grotto-heaven, only then could he absorb Pei Jia's Grotto-heaven. Being a demonic cultivator meant being insatiably greedy. Pei Jia hadn't expected Wang Yu to forgo the loyalty of a sixth-level Void Refinement expert. Faced with the same move that instantly killed Wu Neng, he too was powerless to resist. Yet... just as Wang Yu had considered, as a seasoned demonic cultivator who had survived many years in the Demon Refining Domain, and with access to two treasure troves strongly linked to the True Demon Order—the Treasure Pavilion and the Secret Art Tower—as long as one accumulated enough resources, any divine ability, secret art, or rare treasure could be obtained. This was the greatest advantage for cultivators in the Demon Refining Domain! To escape primordial spirit restrictions, he possessed a Secret Art of Severing Mysteries. Its side effect was losing half his primordial spirit and dropping several cultivation levels, but as long as he survived, he could always cultivate back. To escape a guaranteed death blow, he also had the Blood Shadow Escape Art. Burning his life essence, he instantly broke free from the suppression of Wang Yu's unparalleled divine power, transforming into a crimson meteor within the Grotto-heaven's projected area, carving a long, eerie trail through the void. Pei Jia roared in fury, "Carefree! The humiliation of today, I will repay a hundredfold another day! I will use the Lifeless Profound Light to transform you into a woman, to be defiled daily!" Wang Yu's brows furrowed slightly. His opponent actually possessed such a venomous technique. However, he was no pushover. With a shift of his consciousness, he unleashed a top-tier offensive secret method from the Myriad Void Laws, which he had only begun to grasp in recent days. Just ahead of Pei Jia's escape route, a spatial stone stele appeared out of thin air. This was—the Void Phase Immortal-Suppressing Stele! "Arrrgghh!!!" Pei Jia's blood-shadow avatar was almost instantly struck down. The moment he hit the ground, he was crushed into a puddle of bloody mud by the massive stele. Wang Yu approached with a calm expression. Extract blood, collect bones, capture soul, devour world! A practiced combo, executed with ease, maximizing his opponent's utility. "Hmph. You think you can escape my grasp with *those* tricks? —Dream on!" These words were spoken for the benefit of the shivering Divine Transformation slave-cultivators. As for the Void Phase Immortal-Suppressing Stele, it was a quasi-immortal technique that Jiu Jie Sanren had prepared to suppress the Great Dao. Had it not been for the powerful blessings of his Grotto-heaven, and his progressive understanding of the Dao of Void Phase within the Myriad Void Laws, he might not have been able to even begin to wield it. This technique was comparable to a full-force attack from a Grand Ascension expert, but Wang Yu still lacked a complete comprehension of its underlying laws. Currently, he could only unleash the power of a peak Void Refinement cultivator. It was still inferior to the Heavenly Bane Demon Calamity and the Broad Cold Twelve Phases. However, it was exceptionally effective at preventing enemies from escaping. This was not the time to clear spoils or digest his gains. Wang Yu turned his gaze to the group of Divine Transformation slave-cultivators. He cackled sinisterly, "Why aren't you lot scrambling over here, quickly!" The thirty-plus individuals immediately fell to their knees, vying to be first, terrified that a moment's delay would result in arbitrary slaughter by this fiend. In the Demon Refining Domain... Divine Transformation cultivators truly weren't worth much. Giving them no chance to react, Wang Yu implanted a refined Demonic Seed Method, imbued with his comprehension of the Grand Yin Dao laws, deep into each of their primordial spirits. If he wished, he could easily corrupt them with Heaven Demon Malevolent Thoughts, transforming them into "walking Heaven Demon bait" and letting them experience the delightful sensation of ten thousand demons devouring their bodies. After this series of actions, he then said, "From now on, your task in this ancient battlefield will be to excavate Demonic Blood Sacred Gold, kill Blood Crystal Beasts, and collect demonic baleful energy to refine into liquid." He paused, then continued, "Each of you must provide one hundred and fifty kilograms of Demonic Blood Sacred Gold, one hundred Blood Crystal Beast corpses, and ten pots of demonic baleful liquid. Only then will I grant you your freedom." At these words, everyone stared in disbelief. After all, to have a batch of diligent Divine Transformation slave-cultivators, without working them to death, and creating sufficient profit didn't align with the ethos of the Demon Refining Domain. Their first instinct was that it was a lie. However, Wang Yu merely gave a strange smile. "Whether you believe it or not, if any of you slack off, you can go join your former masters. My Grotto-heaven just happens to need some wronged souls to fill it." The cultivators fell silent instantly, realizing this was not a negotiation. "Now go. Fulfill the tasks I've given you." "—We obey!" Once everyone was busy within the range of his divine sense, Wang Yu began to take stock of his spoils.
