Peerless War God

It seemed that the existence of the Infernal domain was also not good at refining.    

However, this was a bit contradictory. Since the devils weren't good at refining, why would they have such a terrifying devilish tool like the Black Demon Pestle? It was really puzzling.    

Chen Xiao continued to check as he thought in his heart. Suddenly, his expression changed and was filled with surprise.    

"Eh, this is?"    

After the twin-headed monster's corpse broke apart, a white light appeared amidst the pile of black ash. It was extremely eye-catching.    

Chen Xiao held it in his hand. It was a white crystal the size of a stone. Its surface was uneven and there were many different curved surfaces. A faint white light emitted from it.    

"What a pure energy wave."    

He was shocked. Although this white crystal was not large, it contained an incomparably pure energy. This energy was completely different from the mana of a Realm of the Gods cultivator; it was clearly from another world.    

The weirdest thing was that when he tried to use his spiritual will to penetrate into the white crystal, it was completely absorbed. It was like a bottomless pit that was devouring the power of his spiritual will.    

It scared him so much that he hurriedly disconnected his spiritual will, feeling a lingering fear in his heart.    

"What a strange thing. It can actually absorb my spiritual will."    

"This is … a demon essence crystal?"    

Fairy Yun furrowed her brows. She seemed uncertain, but also seemed to be recalling something.    

"Demon essence crystal, what is that?" Chen Xiao asked.    

"There is a record in the ancient records that the demon essence crystal is formed from the essence energy of the demon race's body. The three of them together are its most fundamental part, and this is also the reason why demon spirits don't have souls. The demon essence crystal contains incomparably pure magic energy, but although the magic energy is strong, only demons can use it and absorb it."    

Fairy Yun took the white crystal with her right hand. After carefully observing it a few times, she lost all interest and threw it directly to Chen Xiao.    

"So that's how it is."    

Since it was useless, he might as well put it away first. At least he had gained something, and he hadn't suffered this injury for nothing.    

The duo didn't linger for too long. They returned to their hiding spots and hid themselves once more.    

Fairy Yun was as cold as ice. She closed her eyes to heal Chen Xiao's injuries, which were relatively lighter. Other than healing, the only other thing she did was to practice the [Ascending Dragon Technique] several times over.    

The simple and boring days continued.    

Occasionally opening his eyes and looking at the Cloud Fairy, who was meditating with her eyes closed, was also a form of visual enjoyment. He thought that even if he was eternally trapped here, it wouldn't be a loss to have a beauty accompany him.    

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.    

"Phew ~ I still can't do it."    

Chen Xiao stood up from his meditative state and his face darkened. His cultivation of the Ascending Dragon Technique had reached a bottleneck. Without the assistance of the dragon blood and dragon bone, breaking through to the second stage would be extremely difficult.    

He had cultivated for so long, but still showed no signs of improving. It seemed that without dragon blood and dragon bone, it would be very difficult to break through.    

"Huh?"    

At this time, he discovered something extremely strange. The white demon essence crystal he had obtained after killing the Dual Headed Demon had actually disappeared.    

Chen Xiao's face slightly darkened. Strange, I was clearly on it, why did it disappear? That shouldn't be.    

Although Fairy Yun's demon essence crystal was useless to Realm of the Gods cultivators, if she studied it for a bit, she might be able to discover some clues.    

However, before he could even think about it, he had already disappeared. How strange.    

Soon, he discovered that something wasn't right. The black spirit had fallen into a deep slumber, and was even wrapping the white demon essence crystal within.    

The Black Spirit was an immortal vengeful spirit that had no fixed form. It could transform into many shapes. Normally, the Black Spirit was like a snake-shaped tattoo that attached itself to the surface of his body.    

At the chest area of the snake head, the white demon essence crystal was wrapped up by the black spirit and was slowly absorbing the energy inside.    

"This …"    

Chen Xiao inhaled a breath of cold air. This was too horrifying.    

Fairy Yun had said before that the energy within the demon essence crystal was only useful to the demons. The cultivators of the Realm of the Gods were completely useless. Could it be that this black spirit had come from the Demon Region?    

This bold guess made Chen Xiao's back turn cold.    

In the ruins of the ancient dragon palace that was 30,000 meters below the Endless Sea, in the battlefield of gods and devils, any one of these things could be connected to the Infernal domain.    

He recalled that when he had obtained this eternal specter, he had obtained it from the head of the Heaven Smiting Immortal. Even until now, he still vividly remembered the terrifying suction force that originated from the specter's soul.    

They both had a strange suction force on the soul. This was very similar to the characteristics of the demon essence crystal.    

Could it be that the Black Spirit was really a demon?    

For a moment, Chen Xiao didn't know what to do. He had already recognized the Black Spirit as its master, so if he wanted to cut it open, his spiritual will would be damaged.    

The damage to his spiritual will was only a small matter. It would take some time to repair it. More importantly, the destructive power of the Black Spirit was terrifying. If it was abandoned, the losses would be great.    

As long as the Black Spirit was in his possession, he was invincible even if he was in the Saint realm.    

In addition, he had killed the Seventh Prince of the Dragon God Palace, Ao Feng, and more than half of the elite of the Flood Dragon Clan. At the same time, he had offended two of the two great overlords of the Endless Sea, and if he didn't have a powerful enough backing, even if he escaped from here, it would be difficult for him to escape the Endless Sea.    

The Black Spirit did not give up, even if it really was from the Infernal domain.    

However, this way, he had to try his best to conceal the existence of the Black Spirit. It was best not to use it unless it was absolutely necessary.    

Although an existence like the Black Spirit was simply too rare and unlikely to be recognized, it was still reasonable to be cautious.    

"Hmm? What's the matter? "    

"No, I'm tired from sitting here. I'm going out for a walk."    

Chen Xiao's abnormal action alarmed Fairy Yun who was meditating. He immediately walked over after asking about it.    

Half a month later, the team of demons and monsters appeared once again. This time, they were much stronger than last time, and they were also much more difficult to deal with.    

However, with the two of them working together, they still won with incomparable difficulty.    

"I've obtained a few more demon essence crystals." Chen Xiao said as he held a few white crystals.    

Since the black spirit absorbed the magic energy from the demon essence crystal, it had woken up once more. It seemed that even after absorbing the demon essence crystal, there hadn't been any changes.    

Chen Xiao was a bit disappointed as he kept his eye on her.    

Fairy Yun also had a few pills in her hands. She took them herself. Both of them had wounds on their bodies, both large and small. Blood flowed out from the wounds, making them look extremely pathetic.    

After about half a day, the two of them had pretty much finished recuperating from their injuries and were relatively silent. Chen Xiao was the first to break the silence.    

"The monsters are getting stronger and stronger. If this continues, we won't be able to beat them the next time we meet them."
