Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System

Chapter 409 - 339: Su Yuan! Is This the World You Wanted?

"Junior Sister Chen, you better watch out so you don’t get hit by my Decaying Profound Light."

"The taste of losing oneself after being corrupted is quite unpleasant."

Tu Kun chuckled, with scarlet profound light flashing in his palm, aiming it at Chen Nuoyi on the Snow Flood Dragon.

The blue-haired, golden-eyed girl looked coldly and said calmly:

"As expected, the Decaying Profound Light is the second stage of the Divinity Transformation Inheritance, and there’s seemingly no effective defense against it in the same realm."

"It’s just a pity that such a strong inheritance is held by someone with insufficient strength, lowering the upper limit of the Decaying Profound Light."

Tu Kun furrowed his brow:

"What do you mean?"

"It means I don’t need to consider how to break the Decaying Profound Light, I just need to directly defeat its master."

As the girl finished speaking, she casually raised her pink fist, her Dragon Power transforming to Heavenly Might, rushing towards the sky.

The myriad talents contained within the Dragon Emperor True Body instantly activated.

Divine Dragon Spirit Root, Dragon Power, Dragon Body, Dragon Blood, Dragon Bone, Dragon Heart...

A series of talents that amplify the body and strength erupted, allowing the girl to quickly reach the theoretical limit of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Then, she punched out.

The vibration power contained within the Star Shattering Sword Seed was pushed to the extreme with this punch.

Crack—

Even though the girl’s fist merely struck the air, everyone present clearly heard a crisp sound.

The vibrating power spread over a space of hundreds of meters, causing ripples in the space and enveloping Tu Kun within.

Before he could react, his body immediately underwent violent deformation along with the ripples.

Crack—

Another crisp sound, and this time the sound came from Tu Kun’s body.

With just one punch from afar, this third-year genius with cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage had his muscles, bones, and internal organs fractured and displaced.

Even though the residual power of the punch dispersed, the vibrating energy took root within Tu Kun’s body, continuously and forcefully damaging his body.

Nevertheless, Chen Nuoyi was quite measured with her strike, controlling Tu Kun to a severe injury, yet not to the point of being automatically sent out.

The girl gently stepped on the Snow Flood Dragon once more, and it slithered forward, taking Tu Kun into its mouth and heading toward Su Yuan’s direction.

Su Yuan timely emerged from the bushes, arriving at the dazed Tu Kun hanging from the Snow Flood Dragon’s teeth.

He first tore off a piece of sleeve from Tu Kun, rolled it up and stuffed it into his mouth to prevent him from admitting defeat, then said smilingly:

"Senior Tu, thank you for bringing us this wonderful performance."

"Your Decaying Profound Light is really impressive, could I borrow it?"

Tu Kun: "Mmm mmm mmm..."

"Since you’re not speaking, I’ll take it as your tacit consent. Thank you for your generosity, Senior Tu."

Su Yuan smiled and extended his hand, placing his palm on Tu Kun’s face under his terrified gaze.

Demon Technique·Finger Spirit and Human Pill, activate!

The spiritual power containing the Decaying Profound Light was stripped from Tu Kun’s body, forming a crystalline blood-red Human Pill.

Tu Kun’s vitality visibly declined in front of his eyes.

[Decaying Profound Light Pill: Contains the inheritance of Decaying Demon Monarch—Decaying Profound Light’s Spirit Pill. After condensing the Corruption Sword Seed, it can be consumed. Upon consumption, you gain the Decaying Profound Light, lasting for 24 hours.]

[Decaying Profound Light: After the Corruption Sword Seed advances, spiritual power can be converted into Decaying Profound Light. This divine technique can transform all things into flesh.]

[When entering an area contaminated by Decaying Profound Light, you will suffer erosion by the Power of Corruption. Initial contamination causes continuous bleeding effects, complete contamination makes you part of the Corrosion Fungus.]

After reading the description of the Decaying Profound Light, Su Yuan marveled.

According to the description, this is a range-based divine technique; as long as spiritual power is ample, one can continuously transform the surrounding environment into Corrosion Fungus, centered around oneself.

The larger the scale of Corrosion Fungus, the greater the amplifying effect on the user.

Coupled with the inherently formidable attack capability of this divine technique, it is worthy of being the second stage of the Divinity Transformation Inheritance.

Such a powerful divine technique, one Human Pill clearly cannot satisfy Su Yuan; he needs more.

Unfortunately, considering Tu Kun’s current state, if another Human Pill were extracted, he might be immediately sent out.

Su Yuan thought seriously then looked at Zhu Tianqing behind him:

"Saintess Zhu, I remember you have a method called Slave Spirit. Can you temporarily enslave Senior Tu?"

Zhu Tianqing hesitated a bit before slowly responding:

"It can be done, but Su Yuan, won’t this upset the seniors?"

Upon hearing this, Tu Kun immediately struggled desperately, humming loudly.

But Su Yuan seriously responded:

"How can you think of me as so sordid? I’m asking you to enslave Senior Tu, not for personal gain."

"I just see Senior Tu is too injured, so I want to give him some anesthesia to aid in treatment."

"If left unattended, wouldn’t Senior Tu be eliminated right after entering the tower? How can such an elite senior from third year exit the stage so hastily?"

Tu Kun: "..."

If I hadn’t had a Human Pill extracted already, I might have believed it.

Damn it! The true purpose of your treatment is definitely to fatten me up like a pig, extracting the power of the Decaying Profound Light again and again!

I object! I protest!

The rules of this Trial Sword Tournament are problematic. Why must we verbally admit defeat to be teleported out? What about us captives?

Unfortunately, no one can hear Tu Kun’s inner cries.

Even if they heard, no one would change the rules.

So what if you are captured?

On a real battlefield, how many cultivators can’t commit suicide or escape?

Experiencing the feeling of captivity early might make you more adaptable on a battlefield.

Thus, under Su Yuan’s suggestion, Saintess Zhu activated Slave Spirit on Tu Kun.

Although Su Yuan himself had Hypnotic Sword Qi, it’s a Qi Cultivation Stage skill that’s become somewhat outdated.

To hypnotize Tu Kun, who was at Foundation Establishment Late Stage, Golden Talent ’Slave Spirit’ was required.

Once enslaved and freed from restraints, Tu Kun obediently began healing his injuries and restoring his cultivation, all expenses covered by Tu Kun himself, quite worry-free.

In just an hour, Tu Kun’s injuries healed almost completely, and the minimal depletion of his cultivation was fully restored.

Su Yuan immediately extracted another Decaying Profound Light Pill from him and decided to draw them at a rate of two per day.

Perhaps it would drain Tu Kun dry, but it wouldn’t harm his essence.

With abundant Human Pill sources, Su Yuan was more than willing to consume a Decaying Profound Light Pill directly.

The Seed of Corruption followed with evolution, transforming from a seed into a blood-colored bud.

The inside of the bud was used for converting and storing the Decaying Profound Light.

While converting the profound light, Su Yuan held the Great Desire Immortal Puppet to restore spiritual power, creating a balance between consumption and recovery.

Then, a large amount of Decaying Profound Light surged from beneath Su Yuan’s feet, spreading from the land beneath his feet into a flesh-forged fungus blanket.

The tender green grass blades transformed into tentacles, tree branches twisted from plant to animal, transforming into blood-thirsty Trees of Blood Desire rooted in the fungus blanket.

The Spirit Lake that housed the Snow Flood Dragon was completely transformed into a Blood Lake.

Fortunately, Chen Nuoyi had subdued the Snow Flood Dragon, saving it from corruption.

"Now it feels like Corpse Mountain Blood Sea."

"Leaning on these flesh fungus blankets, I seem to be able to activate Boundless Dao Seed directly, continuously gaining power."

Standing atop the Corruption Fungus, Su Yuan spread his hands, inhaling the corrupt and decadent scent, filled with satisfaction.

Chen Nuoyi, Qi Hanyan, and Saintess Zhu rubbed their arms, feeling a chill.

If it weren’t for their smooth skin as Foundation Establishment cultivators, they’d surely get goosebumps.

"What do you mean? Why are you looking at me with such eyes?"

Noticing the odd expressions from the corner of his eyes, Su Yuan showed dissatisfaction:

"Corrosion Fungus is the true inheritance of Evil Extermination Sword Sect; I’m just using this method normally."

"Even without me, students from Evil Extermination Department like Tu Kun and Guo Zhengyi would still turn a lush environment into this, so why are you acting like I’ve done something wrong?"

Qi Hanyan remained silent for a while before speaking:

"For Senior Tu and others, the Corrosion Fungus just needs to be adequate, a thousand square meters at most."

"But Su Yuan, you’re not the same... You’re planning to transform the entire Eighth Layer into a flesh paradise to meet the conditions for activating Boundless Dao Seed."

"Otherwise, why start building the Corrosion Fungus here, when there are clearly dozens of kilometers to the Ninth Layer entrance?"

Su Yuan squinted his eyes, speaking with a hint of eeriness:

"Xiaoqi, it seems you know a bit too much."

"Croak! Su Yuan wants to kill me to silence! Nuoyi save me!"

Qi Hanyan shivered, darting behind Chen Nuoyi in a fright, trembling.

Chen Nuoyi spoke helplessly:

"Su Yuan, stop scaring her; besides, Hanyan is just speaking casually, we’re actually supportive of your plan."

"Without laying a large enough flesh fungus blanket, how can we compete against Senior Brother Guo and others who’ve mastered complete Divinity Transformation inheritances, or face Xuan Haoran?"

Su Yuan chuckled:

"I was only joking."

"But back to the topic, having just Decaying Profound Light isn’t enough; I plan to gather the second phase of Celestial Shattering Star Sword and Divine Body Sacrificial Artifact Technique before confronting the three of them."

"Once I grasp the second phase of the three Divinity Transformation inheritances, perhaps I’ll have the strength to rival complete Divinity Transformation inheritances."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nuoyi and Saintess Zhu became serious.

The group proceeded toward the Ninth Layer entrance, each step Su Yuan took corrupted more land into flesh fungus blankets.

Saintess Zhu, pitying the surrounding demon beasts, subdued them before Su Yuan could act.

Thus, one corrupted the environment, one subdued creatures, and the four-person team expanded its territory.

From a godly perspective, this hundred-kilometer-wide circular world had a bloody spot on its edge.

The spot resembled the bloodstain on white paper, glaring and spreading.

Soon, it seemed to engulf the entire Seventh and Eighth Layered world!

And after progressing for over two hours, Su Yuan’s team finally met the second school team member.
