Chapter 1386: Battle of the Three Demons
The advancing demonic beasts were incredibly powerful. They each spat out a demonic core, trying to absorb the surrounding black yin magnetic energy into their cores. However, the black yin magnetic energy was too terrifying. The moment their cores came into contact with the black yin magnetic energy, they started suffering tremendously. As for the demonic beasts not specializing in energies of extreme yin, they were directly killed.
It was clear just how terrifying the black yin magnetic energy was.
"This energy belongs to the yin devouring rats!" roared a demonic rat as his figure increased in size. He opened his jaws and started swallowing the black yin magnetic energy.
This yin devouring rat was a Demon Sovereign and was confident in his strength to devour the black yin magnetic energy. Strand after strand of black yin magnetic energy came out of the cave and entered the yin devouring rat's mouth. The other demonic beasts wanted to snatch some for themselves as well, but unlike the yin devouring rat, they didn't dare to swallow so many strands of the black yin magnetic energy without any reservations.
Despite the yin devouring rat's impressive performance, fear soon surfaced in his eyes. He hurriedly shut his mouth and turned around to leave. But before he could go far, his body exploded.
Boom!
Terrifying waves of black yin magnetic energy burst out of his body, turning him into a cloud of bloody mist. The rat was thus killed. The black yin magnetic energy started spreading, causing the numerous plants in the area to rapidly wither away. The other demonic beasts were greatly alarmed. They no longer dared to rashly absorb the black yin magnetic energy, but they were also unwilling to leave empty-handed.
Before long, more and more demonic beasts gathered in the area. Some directly bombarded the cave with attacks, trying to scatter the black yin magnetic energy to thin the energy down and make it easier for them to absorb the energy. But when they did so, the black yin magnetic energy remained fatal even after spreading further, forcing them to retreat. Those who failed to retreat in time started rotting to death.
Not far away, Xiang Shaoyun saw everything clearly. The air around him was also filled with a small amount of black yin magnetic energy. He gathered some in his palm and studied the black yin magnetic energy, discovering that the black yin magnetic energy was just as destructive as the flux goldthorn energy.
"I can't miss out on a power like this. I need to first gather it into my astral cosmos sea before thinking of what to do with it," muttered Xiang Shaoyun with a firm look on his face.
Just as he was about to make a move, he sensed the approach of several powerful Demon Saints. Three Demon Saints had arrived. One was a pitch-black demonic eagle, a demon eye eagle. He had a pair of majestic wings, sharp eyes, and powerful claws. One was a scarlet yang tiger. His body was as big as a mountain and burned with a raging flame that made him look like an incredibly valiant and formidable tiger-shaped sun. One was a yin devouring rat. As soon as he came out of the ground, he instantly enlarged and looked at the black yin magnetic energy with greed in his eyes.
The rat was the first to speak, "This is an energy of extreme yin. It's very useful for me. You two should not take part in this. I'll definitely repay you two after reaping the rewards of this energy."
"Hmph. This energy is useful for me as well. If you want it, fight for it," said the demon eye eagle coldly.
The scarlet yang tiger was aware that the energy was useless for him. However, he wasn't stupid as he offered, "I'll help the one who can give me the most benefits."
This big fellow was obviously here to take advantage of the two.
"I'll tell you the location of a sun meteor," said the yin devouring rat.
The yin devouring rat knew he wasn't the demon eye eagle's match. If he could obtain the scarlet yang tiger's help, he would have better chances at getting the black yin magnetic energy.
"Deal!" said the scarlet yang tiger as his eyes lit up with joy.
"You think the two of you can stop me? You're courting death," said the demon eye tiger. He ignored the two and dove down from the sky, moving rapidly toward the cave. Like a black meteor, he instantly arrived near the cave.
Roar!
The scarlet yang tiger roared, causing his surroundings to shake as a massive fireball shot toward the demon eye tiger. The yin devouring rat also hurriedly charged forward and unleashed a powerful suction force from his mouth, slowing the demon eye eagle's speed.
The demon eye eagle's eyes flickered with bloodlust when he sensed the two incoming attacks. He turned around, spread his wings, and swung his wings in two directions as though wielding the sharpest of blades.
With a shriek, black energy shrouded the demon eye eagle's body as he released his powerful demonic aura to suppress his two opponents. The two also erupted with all their strength and engaged the eagle in an intense battle.
The three Demon Saints were incredibly powerful. As they fought without holding anything back, space cracked around them, causing the surrounding beasts to flee in fear. Not one of the beasts dared to stay, as they were afraid they would be killed by some random shockwave.
As for Xiang Shaoyun, he did not sneak into the cave while the three were fighting. Standing where he was, he slowly absorbed the black yin magnetic energy into his devil pearl. He had a feeling that he was about to become a second-stage Devil Saint.
An energy of extreme yin like this was extremely helpful for devilish energy cultivators. Perhaps this would be a fortuitous encounter for him. For now, he aimed to first absorb the thin black yin magnetic energy far from the cave and get his body accustomed to the energy.
The black yin magnetic energy was incredibly corrosive. When it entered Xiang Shaoyun's devil pearl, a bone-piercing chill assaulted his entire body. Even the devilish energy in his devil pearl suffered from the corrosion. Fortunately, his devil pearl was powerful enough to resist the corrosion. With the assistance of his vigorous life force, he quickly refined the absorbed black yin magnetic energy.
After absorbing the black yin magnetic energy, the devil pearl grew even stronger. The bottleneck blocking his advance into the next stage seemed to have loosened. Sensing that, he increased his absorption speed, aiming to first break through into the next stage before doing anything else. As he did that, the three Demon Saints finally detected his presence. They were infuriated to learn that someone was absorbing the energy right under their noses.
"Which bastard is here stealing my energy?" roared the demon eye eagle as he clawed in Xiang Shaoyun's direction.
"Kill that kid first!" said the yin devouring rat as he released a large number of energy needles toward Xiang Shaoyun.
The scarlet yang tiger opened his mouth and spat a massive breath of flame at Xiang Shaoyun. The attacks of three Demon Saints were definitely not to be underestimated.
Xiang Shaoyun had naturally sensed the incoming attacks. He soared into the sky, and as the rune on his forehead surfaced, a fiendish aura erupted from his body. A ruthless look covered his eyes as he said, "Do not provoke me!"
At this moment, he was activating his devil pearl without holding anything back, causing a massive amount of black yin magnetic energy to converge at his head. As he absorbed the black yin magnetic energy, his cultivation soared. Finally, he broke through into second-stage Devil Saint Realm.
