Chapter 344
Inside the Demon Suppression Tower, it was different from what he had imagined before: dark, damp, and like a prison.
It was very clean inside, and the floor was very flat and almost spotless.
In one corner, there was a corpse lying in a special light cover.
It was indeed a corpse.
Although the corpse was not decaying, and the face was even very clear, as if it had just died not long ago, there was not the slightest breath of life, and it was not known how many years it had been dead.
However, there was a strong demon aura emanating from the other party.
Fortunately, perhaps it had fallen for a long time, this demon aura was not lethal, and he did not feel the slightest discomfort.
“This should be a powerful demon cultivator.
In itself, even if it is not at the level of the Xuan Ying realm, it is definitely a being above the late stage of the Jie Dan.
The strength is terrifying.
And the physical cultivation is also extremely high…”
tan san felt emotional in his heart, but he did not approach for the first time.
He merely swept his spiritual awareness over it.
Fortunately, the light screen did not block the spiritual awareness.
“Huh? It’s empty?
There’s not even a storage bag? Not even any substances like golden dan or xuan ying remain inside?
Just an empty shell of a body?”
tan san’s face changed.
The magic weapon storage bag and other treasures were not there.
Upon thinking about it, it was normal.
Since the opponent was imprisoned and suppressed within the Demon Suppression Tower, either he was captured and brought down, or he was trapped here in some way. If he had any treasures on his person, they would have been plundered long ago.
It was just that he felt somewhat regretful.
As for the opponent’s physical body,
it was just an external shell that still maintained its original appearance.
When his spiritual consciousness swept over it, trying to explore its interior, he immediately discovered that its interior had long since decayed and turned to dust.
The flesh and blood had melted away, leaving only the skeleton and the skin, which supported the other party’s body.
The essence of his aura seemed to have been absorbed by some special force, and no longer existed.
Not to mention the possible existence of golden dan and xuan ying.
It was the other party’s skeleton that had been continuously strengthened through cultivation, and it was as white as jade, with an astonishing hardness, comparable to at least third- or even fourth-grade spiritual materials.
It is the supreme material for countless evil cultivators and demon cultivators to refine their weapons.
There are even high-level demon cultivators who can use the other party’s body to refine some terrifying zombies with powerful strength.
The zombies they refine are at least the level of the Bronze Armored Corpse King or even the Silver Armored Corpse.
The Bronze Armored Corpse is comparable to a cultivator at the Foundation Stage.
The Bronze Armored Corpse King has reached at least the late stage of the Foundation Stage.
The Silver Armored Corpse is at the level of the Dan Realm.
One can imagine how precious it is.
Even in tan san’s storage bag, there were a few books on zombie refining methods, and among them were several zombie refining techniques that, if combined with this material, could also be trained into a very powerful zombie helper.
However, thinking about the complicated steps involved, as well as various evil refining methods that went against his heart, he shook his head and quickly gave up on the idea.
In other words, this corpse was actually of very little use to him.
And he was not bothered about taking the skin, bones, and flesh of this corpse in exchange for spirit stones.
So, after a moment’s hesitation, he walked directly to the second level.
The second level was not smaller than the first.
And at the first glance, tan san saw a huge serpentine creature.
Just like the first level, this creature had also fallen.
Its body had collapsed, leaving only a shell. Even though it had fallen a long time ago, the strong aura of evil still filled the surroundings, making people feel uneasy.
The closer you get, the stronger the evil aura becomes. tan san stood more than ten zhang away from it, but he could already feel the evil aura, which made his skin tingle.
This was because the evil aura was constantly infecting his body.
Even his mind felt a sense of oppression, which made his eyebrows twitch.
“Xuanying level.
Before this creature fell, it had definitely reached the Xuanying level above the Jiedan realm.
Even though it has been fallen for a long time, the evil aura on it is still so strong that no one dares to approach it.”
tan san’s heart trembled.
However, soon, he discovered that this snake-shaped demon, like the demon cultivator in the first layer, had been absorbed by some inexplicable force, leaving nothing but a skeleton.
As a result, although its corpse seemed huge, it gave a soft and limp feeling.
“This Demon Tower must have been set up with a special formation that can continuously extract the flesh and blood essence, true energy and spiritual power of those creatures inside the tower…
However, the name ‘Demon Suppression Tower’ is well deserved.
It only suppresses and isolates spiritual power, of course it cannot truly suppress demons, it must be accompanied by absorbing spiritual power and the source of the other party’s power.
In this way, demons can truly be worn down and completely lose their vitality, being suppressed to death.”
tan san was very clear in his mind.
This method was specially arranged to suppress and restrain demons.
It was also a very normal thing.
It was just that these demons were too strong and extremely difficult to kill, so they were deliberately imprisoned in such a place that could suppress and kill demons, and they were guarded here.
This snake-shaped demon was naturally extremely powerful in its heyday, so much so that even after it had fallen for a long time, the evil aura on its body had not dispersed.
Ordinary cultivators, once they are contaminated, are expected to be affected by the evil energy entering their bodies, which will cause problems.
Their cultivation prospects will be greatly affected.
For cultivators at the foundation-building stage, the threat is also extremely great.
With tan san’s cultivation and spiritual awareness strength, he felt like a thorn in his back, and his eyebrows and eyes twitched, so you can imagine.
But it must be said.
Precisely because of this, the scales, skin, and even the internal skull of this snake-like demon are incredibly precious.
The scales are indestructible at first glance.
The skin is also very tough.
With the right methods to dispel the evil spirits, they can all become excellent materials for refining magic weapons.
tan san was naturally very tempted.
So, without hesitation, he quickly used the Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Light Shield, the Seven-Colored Duhui Spirit Light.
Of course, he also used his spiritual defense secret technique, the Divine Light Shield Technique, along with various defensive treasures, protective spells and talismans…
In this way, he slowly approached.
Seven zhang, five zhang, three zhang…
The closer he got, the stronger the evil aura became.
When he reached three zhang, even though he had set up many defensive measures, he felt that it was very difficult.
Fortunately, his defensive methods were not weak.
He may not be comparable to a cultivator at the stage of condensing one’s vital essence, but at the stage of cultivating one’s foundation, he is definitely one of the best.
Whether it is ordinary defense or spiritual defense.
Therefore, soon, tan san entered the one-zhang area.
At this time.
tan san was almost facing this demon head-on.
The strong aura of evil energy almost rushed at him.
Fortunately, by this time, he was able to use his spiritual awareness to store the corpse.
Then there was a flash of light before his eyes.
The entire corpse of the demon had disappeared without a trace and appeared in tan san’s storage bag.
“Fortunately, this storage bag is not small, otherwise it would be difficult to fit it in.”
tan san looked at the storage bag in his hand and felt a wave of relief.
This storage bag was the one he had seized from Ye Huanyi when he killed him before. It was not small, but because he still had reservations, he did not use it directly.
It was just the right size to hold the remains of this corpse.
After scanning the area again, tan san nodded with satisfaction and then set foot on the third level.
“Empty?” After going up to the third level, tan san scanned the area and a look of surprise could not help but appear on his face.
Before coming up here, he was quite looking forward to it.
The first level was not bad, and the harvest on the second level, if calculated in terms of spirit stones, was at least more than 20 million low-grade spirit stones.
Naturally, he was very much looking forward to the harvest on the third level.
Unfortunately, it was completely empty.
“Perhaps, there was also a powerful demon overlord suppressed here.
But three thousand years ago, it directly fell because the great formation was erased.
Naturally, the corpse and remains of the opponent were also directly taken away by the Danding Sect.”
tan san thought to himself, and felt that it was normal.
Then, he went directly to the fourth and fifth levels…
Three consecutive levels were completely empty.
tan san’s state of mind instead calmed down.
He had already gained a lot before.
Not to mention anything else, just the corpse remains of the snake demon were well worth it.
Anything more would be considered a pleasant surprise.
If you gain it, you are fortunate; if you lose it, you are doomed.
So, he went straight to the sixth level.
Then, the moment he stepped in, almost without warning, his body sank, and his entire body was almost crushed.
A powerful and awe-inspiring force descended upon him instantly.
This awe-inspiring and oppressive power was several times stronger than when he faced the snake demon before.
Zhou Chengwang’s face changed, and he immediately looked towards the source.
However, he discovered that
in the distance, there was a tiger-like demon that was lying on the ground.
The opponent had obviously also fallen for a long time.
However, compared to the snake-shaped demon, the tiger-shaped demon’s body seems to be in better condition. Even the flesh and blood are still on its body, which looks very complete.
“This tiger-shaped demon has also fallen.
However, it should have fallen much later than the snake-shaped demon.
Therefore, its body is still relatively well-preserved, and its majestic and murderous aura is also several times stronger.
This is not to say that his strength in life was stronger than that of the snake-shaped demon.
It is just that the length of time it took to fall and the strength of the remaining demon aura are different.”
tan san quickly figured this out, and then a hint of hesitation could not help but appear on his face.
Before, when facing the snake-shaped demon’s murderous aura, he had felt a bit of strain.
Now, this tiger-shaped demon’s murderous aura even carries a powerful force of majesty, and naturally it is even more difficult to resist.
However, he was reluctant to just give up.
So he gritted his teeth.
He once again opened his defenses.
He used all kinds of defensive methods, including the Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Light Shield, the Seven-Colored Duiyu Lingguang, the Divine Light Shield Technique… one after the other.
With each defensive method he used, he felt the pressure of the murderous aura on him lessen a little.
Then, he gradually moved closer step by step.
Ten zhang, nine zhang, eight zhang…
Only after stepping into the range of seven zhang did tan san feel the pressure and murderous aura within, comparable to the previous three zhang area.
And the closer he got, the stronger the majesty and murderous aura he could clearly feel.
When he was within six zhang, its intensity was almost comparable to the previous one zhang area.
Little Forbidden Spirit Technique!
tan san’s face changed, and he directly used the Little Forbidden Spirit Technique.
This spell landed on the tiger-shaped demon.
Almost instantly, the feeling of endless oppressive power disappeared without a trace.
One breath, two breaths…
Although it was very fast, the minor spirit suppression technique had already lost its effect, and the endless murderous aura quickly rose again.
However, this situation had already proved that tan san’s minor spirit suppression technique could also suppress various oppressive auras on the corpse of the demon.
Because of this, tan san felt his heart relax, and he took advantage of this opportunity to quickly cross the three-zhang area.
In this way, tan san was only three zhang away from the tiger-shaped demon.
“Three zhang is not enough,”
tan san gritted his teeth and persisted.
But the sudden outbreak of the demon’s murderous aura, as well as the powerful oppressive force.
Boom!
Almost instantly, the outer layer of his defensive spiritual light was completely depleted.
And under the weight of the oppressive force, his body sank, almost completely crushed.
“Get up!”
tan san’s face changed.
The powerful qi and blood force also exploded at this moment.
Endless qi and blood, like smoke from a signal fire, rose up, as if fighting against the endless oppressive force.
Then, tan san’s body, which had been bent, slowly stood up.
Soon, he regained his balance.
Then he took another step.
The terrifying pressure increased again.
tan san’s face, which had been relatively calm, instantly turned red, as he felt the difficulty of this.
But he quickly adjusted his mindset and took another step.
Then the third step, the fourth step, the fifth step…
This pressure was truly too strong.
Here, ordinary cultivators can hardly take a single step.
tan san even had the thought of turning around and leaving.
But he came here for all kinds of treasures.
Now the treasures are in front of him, and even at the top of the Demon-Quelling Tower, there is always the pseudo-spirit treasure, the Creation Cauldron…
No matter what kind it is, he is very eager for it, and he doesn’t want to give up easily.
So, he gritted his teeth, straightened his body again, and then took another step.
Boom!
In an instant.
tan san suddenly felt his mind and spirit relax.
Then an incomparable sense of relief arose in his heart.
His spiritual consciousness had broken through?
A flash of shock crossed tan san’s face.
He himself was also extremely surprised.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, his spiritual consciousness directly broke through.
Not only had it become more condensed, it had also become more powerful.
Its range of influence had also increased by nearly double compared to before.
As a result, it became much easier for him to resist the oppressive aura.
Originally, he had exerted his full strength, and at this moment, he could hardly move an inch.
Because the oppressive force was too strong.
If he took one step further, it was very likely that his Divine Light Shielding technique would be crushed, thus injuring his mind and spirit.
But precisely because of this, his mind and spirit were extremely concentrated, and when he resisted the aura with all his strength, it also caused his spiritual awareness to be compressed to the extreme.
As the saying goes, “Opposites attract.”
It was also under these circumstances that his stagnant spiritual power was able to break through and improve by a large margin once again.
