Chapter 573: Creating the Pen Body
Even though the Demon Refining Pen is also a magical tool, the process of making it is completely different from crafting other tools.
Crafting the pen is like making medicine – it requires burning various materials with flames, while the Demon Refining Pen needs demonic energy and patterns!
By infusing demonic energy into the materials and carving demonic patterns, the materials are condensed from the inside out.
The larger the materials, the more demonic energy is needed, but the resulting Demon Refining Pen will be more powerful after condensation.
Naturally, this process takes a lot of time.
Jiang Yun’s plan is to first raise the Against-Demon Bridge so that it can be infused into his own spiritual cave, and then turn it into a Demon Refining Pen on his way back to the Seeking-Tao Sect.
However, as Luo Lingxiao opens all the restrictions on the Against-Demon Bridge, the massive demonic energy gushing out on the bridge stirs something in Jiang Yun’s heart.
Although Jiang Yun’s own demonic energy should be enough to condense the Against-Demon Bridge, he decides to take advantage of the readily available demonic energy here to create the body of the Demon Refining Pen now, rather than wasting it.
Thinking this, Jiang Yun pulls back his hand and hears a loud bang as the bridge he had lifted falls back down.
In the next moment, Jiang Yun took a step forward and once again set foot on the Against-Demon Bridge.
To Luo Lingxiao and the Luo family, Jiang Yun’s decision to step off the Against-Demon Bridge clearly meant he was giving up on lifting it. However, they didn’t understand why Jiang Yun chose to step onto the Against-Demon Bridge.
However, they didn’t need to understand because they hoped Jiang Yun would step onto the Against-Demon Bridge.
Standing on the Against-Demon Bridge, a overwhelming demonic energy surged towards Jiang Yun, surrounding him and rushing into his body.
Suddenly, a massive force descended from the sky, landing on Jiang Yun’s body, and he heard the words "Demon Transformation" once again.
The Against-Demon Bridge first transforms people into demons, then refines the demons with Demon Refining Technique.
Jiang Yun had already undergone ninety percent of the Demon Transformation before, but now, with the arrival of the Power of Demon Transformation, a cloud of mist instantly rose around his body, revealing a huge and incomparable dragon head.
This scene once again left the members of the Luo family puzzled.
Everyone could see that Jiang Yun’s strength had improved significantly compared to before, but his current performance seemed to be less impressive than last time.
They had just stepped onto Against-Demon Bridge when they were transformed into demons!
Little did they know, the demon they saw was not Jiang Yun’s true form, but Jiang Yun’s Hun Tian’s Taoist Body.
The Power of Demon Transformation can turn humans into demons, but it has no effect on demons. Therefore, Jiang Yun summoned Hun Tian’s Taoist Body to bear the Power of Demon Transformation.
While his true form greedily absorbed a large amount of demon energy, he sent the demon energy into Against-Demon Bridge below, carving out demonic patterns.
Just then, the overwhelming black runes in the sky quickly condensed into nine huge seals, rushing towards Hun Tian’s Taoist Body.
Demon-Refining Nine Seals!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The nine Tao Seals almost simultaneously struck Hun Tian’s Taoist Body.
At that moment, the hearts of the Luo family finally eased.
No matter how strong or strange Jiang Yun was before, now that he has been hit by all the Demon-Refining Nine Seals, it will be very difficult for him to turn the situation around.
If Luo Baichuan were still alive and appeared here, he would tell them that their current thoughts are too naive.
Apart from Jiang Yun’s identity as a Demon Refiner, this Hun Tian’s Taoist Body itself was cultivated by Jiang Yun using Taoist Demon energy.
If these nine Tao Seals, truly as powerful as the Demon Refiner Blood Robe, were created by hand, they might be able to subdue Hun Tian’s Taoist Body.
However, these nine Tao Seals were just left by a Demon Refiner ancestor from the Luo family on this Against-Demon Bridge. After so many years, even though their power has not dissipated, it has greatly weakened. How can they trap Hun Tian’s Taoist Body?
Although the nine Tao Seals entering the body made Hun Tian’s Taoist Body’s body tremble slightly, it was just that!
As for Jiang Yun, he was completely unaware, all his focus was on the Against-Demon Bridge below.
Inside the Against-Demon Bridge, invisible to everyone, Jiang Yun had already condensed eight demonic patterns using demonic energy.
When the ninth demonic pattern successfully appeared, the thousand-zhang-high Against-Demon Bridge, which had always been vibrating, suddenly made a deafening explosive sound.
In front of the astonished Luo family, the thousand-fathom long Against-Demon Bridge unexpectedly shortened by a hundred fathoms, becoming nine hundred fathoms!
Moreover, it was no longer between two mountains but floating in midair, neither falling down nor rising up.
"What’s going on here?"
"Why did the Against-Demon Bridge become shorter?"
"Is this another ability of the Against-Demon Bridge?"
"I feel like this is Jiang Yun’s doing."
The people of the Luo family kept discussing, feeling completely confused at this moment, unable to understand why the Against-Demon Bridge suddenly shortened. They had no idea what to do and could only continue watching.
After a moment passed, another sound of cracking came from the Against-Demon Bridge, and its length shrunk by another hundred fathoms, reaching eight hundred fathoms.
Following that, it shortened to seven hundred fathoms, six hundred fathoms…
At this moment, everyone in the Luo family couldn’t sit still anymore. Even a fool could see the changes happening at Against-Demon Bridge, which must be the work of Jiang Yun. So, they couldn’t help but look at Luo Lingxiao and ask, "Young master, what should we do now? Should we inform the ancestor?"
Although they wanted to rush to Against-Demon Bridge to stop Jiang Yun, the restrictions on the bridge were lifted now. Anyone stepping on it would be attacked by demonic energy and the Demon-Refining Nine Seals, so they dared not go over.
Luo Lingxiao clenched his teeth and said, "No need to inform the ancestor over such a trivial matter, no hurry. The Soul of the Taoist Demon will appear soon. At that time, no matter what he is doing, he will have no place to bury his body."
"But!" A member of the Luo family cautiously said, "Back then, Jiang Yun was also swallowed by the Soul of the Taoist Demon, but he came back unharmed…"
"Shut up!"
Luo Lingxiao abruptly turned his head, staring fiercely at the speaker and said, "That was then, this is now. The Soul of the Taoist Demon is much stronger than before!"
"Yes, yes!"
The crowd hurriedly nodded in agreement, afraid to say more. They deeply believed in Luo Lingxiao’s words.
Since the Luo family joined the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, mournful screams could occasionally be heard from the deep abyss under Against-Demon Bridge.
There had never been this kind of sound before, so they could vaguely guess that their ancestor was secretly doing something to help the Soul of the Taoist Demon become stronger.
Now with Luo Lingxiao’s words, it further proved their guess.
At the same time, inside the left eye of the statue of the Luo family, ancestor Luo Qing was sitting there, smiling as he watched Against-Demon Bridge and Jiang Yun.
Sitting opposite him was an old man with five long beards under his chin, with a face like a full moon. Despite looking cold, there was a hint of shock in his eyes!
Suddenly, Luo Qing sighed and said, "I always thought he had the qualifications to be a Demon Refiner. I didn’t expect that after a few years, he really became a Demon Refiner!"
The old man coldly said, "Luo Qing, do you even deserve to mention the title of Demon Refiner?"
Faced with the sarcasm in the old man’s words, Luo Qing was not annoyed at all. Instead, he smiled slightly and said, "Brother Lu, this young man and your granddaughter are quite a match!"
