Chapter 648 - 41: Charming to the Bone, Delightfully Alluring

A Sixth-rank Talisman, the Ten Thousand Demons Forbidden God Talisman.

This Talisman was discovered by Ascendant Wuxin in a ruin within the Lingkong Celestial Ruins, and she paid a considerable price for it.

The Talisman’s greatest function is to seal the souls of others. For Ascendant Wuxin, who cultivates the path of the Heart Demon, it could only be described as the icing on the cake.

In contrast, the Earth Book Fragment from the Beiming Immortal Race and the Seven Treasures Spirit Bead from Yuelang Heaven were a true lifeline, greatly enhancing her defensive and offensive capabilities.

Fang Cheng, however, bought this Talisman with two objectives in mind.

First, he had encountered a bottleneck in recent years while refining the Great Sun Golden Crow Talisman. Although he had the Creation Golden Talisman to help him comprehend this heritage, refining a Sixth-rank Talisman with his Tribulation Realm Cultivation was still extremely difficult. After multiple failures, he had no choice but to pause.

Currently, all nine of his Great Sun Golden Crow Talismans were at the Tier Five Top-Grade Level. He had ruined no fewer than ten Talismans in his attempts.

By purchasing this Talisman, he could carefully examine the unique Golden Seal Jade Talisman Pattern within a Sixth-rank Talisman and study its refining methods. This would be of great significance for him to successfully refine a Sixth Rank Sun Golden Crow Talisman.

Second, with this Talisman in hand, he could return to the Spirit Immortal’s Abandoned Mansion and attempt to seal Yuelang Heaven’s Spirit Immortal Incarnation, Venerable Jiayin.

In his eyes, this Spirit Immortal Incarnation was nothing less than the world’s most supreme Tripod Furnace for Dual Cultivation. If he could obtain her assistance, relying on the *Supreme Profound Origin Yin-Yang Immeasurable Treasure Scripture*, his true self’s strength would be completely reborn, surpassing all other Tribulation Realm Cultivators in the Lower Realm.

Although he hadn’t encountered any major serendipitous opportunities in recent years, his gains had been quite substantial.

Most importantly, he had acquired over ninety thousand Dao Pattern Spirit Jades. Although they varied in size, they had rocketed his Creation Points to over eighty million, allowing his true self to raise several Spirit Immortal heritages to their peak state with points to spare.

He had also collected a considerable amount of precious materials for refining Spiritual Mechanism Incarnations. Including the Earth God Copper he just obtained, he had enough to refine three more.

In the Lingkong Celestial Ruins, he had killed three Tier Six Demon Beasts. With his Pu Hua and Golden Crow Incarnations working together, he could practically move through the Celestial Ruins unchallenged. Cultivators from the Beiming Immortal Race and Yuelang Heaven all avoided him out of fear, giving him a wide berth.

Fang Cheng arrived at the Earth Palace built into the cliff face years ago and saw his Golden Crow Incarnation sitting cross-legged before the Fire Well, refining Spiritual Mechanical Components.

The two incarnations shared a mind and Spiritual Sense, acting as Fang Cheng’s left and right hands. Without a word, the Celestial Venerable of Universal Transformation incarnation handed the Ten Thousand Demons Forbidden God Talisman to the Golden Crow Incarnation. He then took out the Earth God Copper and took over the task of refining the Spiritual Mechanical Components.

The Golden Crow Incarnation, in turn, began to study the refining method for Sixth-rank Talismans.

「One year later.」

Deep within an underground ruin, inside a massive natural cavern, four enormous corpses were laid out on the ground. The most striking was a Cyan Chilong, nearly a thousand zhang long and entirely cyan-gold in color.

The corpse of a Demon Race Spirit Immortal.

The other three Demon Beasts seemed much smaller in comparison to this Cyan Chilong.

These three Demon Beasts had all been hunted by the two Spiritual Mechanism Incarnations in the Lingkong Celestial Ruins. Their fatal wounds were strikingly similar: a vicious sword gash at the vital point between their brows.

For Demon Beasts that had no Magical Artifacts for protection and fought relying solely on their Innate Bloodline and Divine Techniques, few could withstand the edge of a Tier Six Flying Sword.

Now, surrounding these four behemoths were three Profound Gold Spiritual Mechanical Bodies.

Fang Cheng had refined all three of these Spiritual Mechanisms in the likeness of his Golden Crow Incarnation, mixing in the Earth God Copper. Combined with the mysterious star-track patterns from the Fire Well Earth Palace, their physical strength was astonishing.

With a deafening boom like muffled thunder, a dark red Demon Scripture simultaneously appeared behind the heads of the three new Spiritual Mechanism Incarnations.

A chilling Demonic Aura spread out. Within the book were countless, mosquito-antennae-fine strands of black Demonic Script, immeasurable and endless. With almost every glance, the hundreds of millions of demonic characters on the book would shift, forming new arrangements.

—The Primordial Celestial Demon Strategy.

Three streams of thick, dark red Demonic Qi surged from the Celestial Demon Strategy, landing on the Demon Beast corpses in the center of the cavern and spreading rapidly.

The entire cavern was instantly filled with a viscous, intense, dark red light, carrying an indescribably eerie aura.

A massive amount of Primordial Heavenly Demon Qi evaporated from the four Demon Beast corpses, transforming into a roiling, dense fog that spread throughout. A terrifying Demonic Intent began to brew within it.

The intense, surging, dark red Demonic Qi seethed more and more violently over the four Demon Beast corpses. In the blink of an eye, it completely enveloped the four massive corpses, transforming them into four incomparably huge balls of dark red Demonic Qi with ceaselessly churning surfaces.

Three great rivers of dark red Demonic Qi surged back, pouring entirely into the Primordial Celestial Demon Strategy.

The Celestial Demon Strategy was like three bottomless pits, endlessly devouring the Demonic Qi in the cavern. The auras of the three Spiritual Mechanism Incarnations also surged forward at a jaw-dropping speed as their bodies erupted in a dazzling radiance.

A long time later, calm returned to the cavern.

...

「Fire Well Earth Palace.」

A ten-zhang Golden Talisman hung silently in the air, radiating a golden light so brilliant it was difficult to look at.

Five Spiritual Mechanism Incarnations surrounded the Talisman, each activating their Divine Techniques to draw Golden Seal Jade Talisman Spirit Patterns upon it.

Five vast currents of Spiritual Mechanism poured mightily into the Great Sun Golden Crow Talisman, gradually completing the Spirit Patterns on its surface.

This was equivalent to Fang Cheng splitting his mind five ways, using a brute-force method to overcome a task of immense skill, forcibly drawing the most profound and difficult Golden Seal Jade Talisman Spirit Patterns onto the Talisman.

When the final stroke of the Spirit Pattern was complete, the massive Golden Talisman suddenly shuddered. In an instant, it transformed into a great Golden Crow, its body erupting with scorching golden flames that threatened to melt the entire Earth Palace into lava.
