「Two days later, Western Extre Sea.」
The Insect External Incarnation held the Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure in one hand as the Demon-Suppressing Rosy Light slowly dissipated. The spiritual power within his original body was completely drained, making him unable to sustain the operation of the Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure, so he had no choice but to put it away.
Jia Ren had been maintaining the Demon-Sealing Tower’s spiritual power consumption for a long ti. Remaining in this state was exhausting, and after continuously absorbing spiritual energy without sleep or rest, his ridians ached imnsely. He swallowed a Nine Revolutions Resurrection Pill, and the damage to his ridians repaired swiftly.
His original body took a Revivify Spirit Pill and fell into a deep sleep. After such a long period of fatigue, his spirit was too weary; he desperately needed a good rest.
「Three days later」
Jia Ren stretched his body, feeling his condition return to its peak. He sat cross-legged in the Cultivation Room, where most of the nature’s spiritual energy from the twelve Spirit Veins of the Mountain and Sea Pearl converged. By ditating and cultivating, his spiritual power recovered at an astonishing speed. In just one day, his spiritual power was fully restored.
I should consider crafting Talismans for the Demon-Sealing Tower and the Black Tortoise Shield, he thought. Divine Transformation-grade Magic Treasures consu an astonishing amount of spiritual power, whereas Talismans reduce consumption, making them more convenient. If I reveal a Divine Transformation-grade Magic Treasure and can’t defeat my enemy, the secret of possessing such a treasure will leak out and cause trouble. Talismans are different; they’re consumables, so their value isn’t comparable. Plus, having a Deity Transformation Level Talisman might make others think I have strong backing, so they wouldn’t dare provoke easily.
High-quality Talismans sell for a good price, and they have the benefit of not drawing too much attention. Beyond this, there’s another crucial point: the spiritual power consumption of a Deity Transformation Level Talisman is far less than that of a Divine Transformation-grade Magic Treasure, allowing for long-term use.
The excessive spiritual power consumption of Magical Treasures has been a headache, but Talismans could perfectly solve this. Sacrificial Fire can resolve the risks of Talisman crafting, so making Talismans is my best choice.
Before crafting a Deity Transformation Level Talisman, the Insect External Incarnation needed to collect materials. The materials for Talisman crafting were unusual. Considering he’d be crafting many Talismans in the future, the required amount would be substantial, so he needed to stock up.
But first, Jia Ren had to release the Bizarre Demons sealed within the eleven pieces of Superior Grade Spirit Stone Vein.
He opened the River Mountain Bag and took out one piece of Superior Grade Spirit Stone Vein containing a sealed Bizarre Demon. These Bizarre Demons have been sealed for who knows how many years, Jia Ren mused. Their strength won’t be at its peak, but I still need to be cautious. To prevent a chain reaction from releasing too many at once, it’s best to break the seals one by one and then imdiately reseal them in the tower.
The first piece of sealed Spirit Stone Vein was the smallest. Jia Ren went to the fifteenth floor of the Demon-Sealing Tower, bringing the item with him. These Bizarre Demons were sealed for countless years, he thought. Just liberated from their previous prison, only to be seamlessly transferred into the Demon-Sealing Tower. Is this like stepping from one hell into another?
As soon as the sealing restriction broke, the Superior Grade Spirit Stone Vein crumbled, and a Bizarre Demon resembling a red-haired child appeared. The Bizarre Demon opened its mouth, spewing a burst of fla. However, an invisible suppressive force quelled the fire before it could land, causing it to vanish without a trace.
The Wicked Fla materialized out of thin air and landed on the red-haired child. The child stood his ground, letting the Wicked Fla burn him as he coldly stared at Jia Ren. But the usually infallible Wicked Fla couldn’t harm the red-haired child in the slightest.
The red-haired child seed to be a god of fire, completely immune to flas.
What kind of Bizarre Demon is this? Jia Ren wondered. Immune to flas? It breathes fire... Could it be a Fire Bizarre?!
Bizarre Demons have countless strange abilities; it’s not surprising that one would be immune to the Wicked Fla.
The first Bizarre Demon he unsealed had already given Jia Ren a surprise. The Wicked Fla couldn’t harm this Bizarre Demon, and the Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure could only seal it, not effectively harness its power.
Truly a burden! he thought. Useless if consud, yet a pity to discard.
Should I send the Fire Demon Child to the Suppressing Fiend Holy Fire Command? No, the Command is only a Magic Artifact; it can’t guarantee a perfect seal. If the Fire Bizarre escaped and grew stronger, it would beco a formidable enemy.
I’ll let it stay in the Demon-Sealing Tower for now, at least until the tower is filled with other Bizarre Demons.
Influenced by the Seal Trickery Engraving, the red-haired child beca lethargic and promptly fell asleep.
Jia Ren didn’t bother with the Fire Demon Child any longer and proceeded to the sixteenth floor to continue releasing Bizarre Demons. The Bizarre Demon released on the sixteenth floor manifested as a writhing, green, extrely corrosive liquid. Under the Demon-Sealing Tower’s suppression, the Bizarre Demon’s power was completely nullified.
The Wicked Fla ignited it instantly, continuously generating more Wicked Fla. Jia Ren breathed a sigh of relief; he had been afraid the remaining Bizarre Demons would also be immune to the Wicked Fla, like the Fire Demon Child. He nad this Bizarre Demon the Corrosive Bizarre.
The remaining Bizarre Demons were released one after another: a pair of white canine teeth, an ancient broken sword, a set of green pupils, a green-copper bracelet, a small yellow-brass bell, and a continuously changing orb of light.
The white canine teeth were nad the Canine Fang Bizarre, possessing astonishing biting power that inflicted continuous bleeding on its target; its other abilities remained unknown.
The ancient broken sword was nad the Broken Sword Bizarre. Capable of releasing Waning Moon Specter Sword Qi, it had a penchant for severing complete objects; its other abilities were unknown.
The green pupils were nad the Green Pupil Bizarre. Its gaze caused bizarre flowers and plants to grow on its victims, slowly turning their flesh and blood into plant-like puppets. Its other abilities were unknown, but Jia Ren suspected it was from the sa source as the Eye Bizarre and that the two could rge into a single Bizarre Demon.
The green-copper bracelet, nad the Green Forbidden Bracelet Bizarre, had the ability to restrain movent. The mont its bizarre power erupted, even the Wicked Fla was briefly suppressed. Its other abilities were unknown.
The small bell was nad the Soul Control Bell Bizarre. The sound it emitted could forcibly control its target, turning them into puppets under its dominion; its other abilities were unknown.
The orb of light could transform itself into any kind of Bizarre Demon or living creature, possessing the ability to morph into its chosen target. This Bizarre Demon was nad the Ever-Changing Bizarre; its other abilities were unknown.
The abilities of Bizarre Demons were incredibly varied. Only three of the eleven now remained sealed.
Jia Ren arrived at the twenty-third floor and released the ninth Bizarre Demon. It was a candle burning with white flas, emitting an eerie fragrance. As soon as Jia Ren’s Wicked Fla appeared, this Bizarre Demon, which he nad the White Candle Bizarre, suddenly erupted with an astounding amount of its own Wicked Fla, far surpassing the output of other Bizarre Demons several tis over. The White Candle Bizarre produced an unidentifiable scent when burned and could also amplify the power of flas; its other abilities were unknown.
On the twenty-fourth floor, Jia Ren released the Bizarre Demon from its sealed Spirit Stone Vein. An unprecedentedly strong sense of crisis washed over him. Without the slightest hesitation, he decisively maximized the Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure’s sealing power and swiftly retreated from the twenty-fourth floor. An old man dressed in burial clothes appeared out of thin air, his skin bluish-black, resembling that of a reanimated corpse.
He radiated a bizarre aura that instinctively triggered an inexplicable terror. Such terrifying power! Jia Ren thought, shaken.
The Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre he had previously faced was already a top-tier Bizarre Demon, but it paled in comparison to this new one. What kind of Bizarre Demon is this?!
Jia Ren suddenly thought of sothing and looked at his Proficiency Panel. To his shock, he discovered that in the instant he was affected by the strange power of the old man in burial clothes, his maximum lifespan had decreased by one year! A Bizarre Demon that affects lifespan?!
I’ll call you the Longevity Bizarre!
Cultivators strive in their practice for longevity and immortality, making this lifespan-affecting Bizarre Demon the bane of all living beings. Prolonged exposure to the Longevity Bizarre’s influence would inevitably lead to a silent death. This thing is a living Grim Reaper!
The full sealing power of the twenty-fourth floor was engaged, preventing any trace of the Bizarre Demon’s power from leaking out. Only then did Jia Ren finally breathe a sigh of relief.
This also served as a stark reminder: facing Bizarre Demons within the Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure wasn’t entirely safe. Their abilities were incredibly varied, their powers unfathomable. Even the Demon-Sealing Tower hadn’t been able to save him from the Silent Bizarre he’d encountered before.
Jia Ren looked towards the twenty-fourth floor of the Demon-Sealing Tower, contemplating using the Longevity Bizarre to create Bizarre Objects. If I were to create Bizarre Charm Scripts that reduce lifespan, using the Longevity Bizarre and corresponding Bizarre Objects, their power would be unimaginably great! he mused. It would surely be the nightmare of all living beings!
But I’m afraid every experint would reduce my own maximum lifespan... Better leave the experintation to the Insect External Incarnation.
Only one last Bizarre Demon remained to be unsealed, its nature unknown.
The Insect External Incarnation arrived at the twenty-fifth floor of the Demon-Sealing Tower, released the final Bizarre Demon, and quickly retreated. A figure draped in white mourning clothes appeared, constantly wailing, its back always turned to any observer.
The voice carried a strange, bewitching quality and a piercing power, compelling listeners to join in its lant. Fortunately, the Demon-Sealing Tower’s suppressive ability was incredible. No matter how powerful the Bizarre Demon’s abilities were, it remained confined to the twenty-fifth floor, unable to spread its influence outside or affect the Bizarre Demons on other floors.
Is it finally over?! Jia Ren thought with relief.
The eleven unsealed Bizarre Demons each had unique abilities. The Longevity Bizarre was the strongest, its fundantal nature even surpassing that of the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre. If it were ever released into the world, the Longevity Bizarre’s impact would absolutely eclipse that of the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre. This is one of the strongest Bizarre Demons I’ve ever seen.
The Silent Bizarre is also strong, but it’s still far inferior to the Longevity Bizarre. The Longevity Bizarre has been sealed for who knows how many years, yet it still possesses such frightening power. If it ever returned to its peak, who knows how much more formidable it would beco?
The Longevity Bizarre was now a pri candidate for fueling the Demon-Sealing Tower; the Wicked Fla burned on it, but at an extrely slow rate. The Fire Demon Child, however, was in a category of its own; the Wicked Fla was powerless against it, making it a unique anomaly.
Next, Jia Ren planned to use the Bizarre Demons suppressed in the Demon-Sealing Tower to create Bizarre Talismans and Mysterious Instrunts for his own use. The most promising ones are the Longevity Bizarre, White Candle Bizarre, Soul Control Bell Bizarre, Green Forbidden Bracelet Bizarre, Tracing Bizarre, and Shadow Bizarre... Their abilities are so enticing; I can’t wait to turn them into powerful Bizarre Objects!
He needed to research the Bizarre Demons’ abilities to determine the best ways to combine them or utilize their powers. Jia Ren’s battle with the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre and the Bizarre Alliance’s Bizarre Person had revealed that the effects of common Bizarre Demons were becoming less significant against Nascent Soul Level or higher Cultivators. To ensure his Bizarre Objects would be potent, he had to choose powerful Bizarre Demons as the primary subjects for his research. This ant avoiding the creation of items like the Bewildering Charm or the Smiling Weird Talisman, which were no longer useful against stronger foes.
The Eye Bizarre on the fifth floor and the Green Pupil Bizarre on the nineteenth floor are both eye-type Bizarre Demons, Jia Ren mused. Do they originate from the sa source? Should I try fusing them?
Decided, Jia Ren wasted no ti. A vast amount of Spiritual Power flowed into the Demon-Sealing Tower, and the Green Pupil Bizarre from the nineteenth floor was forcibly moved to the fifth floor. The Demon-Sealing Tower’s individual containnt cells were effectively downgraded, now housing two Bizarre Demons—a Pair Specter Dormitory, so to speak.
The mont the two eye-type Bizarre Demons ca into contact, no conflict erupted between them. Instead, they gradually fused into one.
Thus, a new Bizarre Demon was born!
