Record of a Demon's Cultivation Chapter 1390: Advancing to Mid Body Integration Stage

Translator: CinderTL

"Do you possess the Great Ascension Stage cultivation technique for the Corpse King’s Rebirth Art?" Song Wen asked.

"No. I only recently began cultivating the Corpse King’s Rebirth Art and have yet to fully comprehend many aspects of it. I have no time to exchange for a technique I cannot currently use," Gong Tianzong replied.

Song Wen shook his head slightly, sighing inwardly. As expected, there’s no advanced cultivation technique for the Corpse King’s Rebirth Art.

"Where is the current headquarters of the Six Fiends Hall?"

"Continue ninety thousand miles beyond the site of our earlier battle. There lies a lake, and the Six Fiends Hall is located on an island within that lake," Gong Tianzong answered.

Song Wen fell silent, pondering the information. After a moment, he realized he had no further questions.

"Do you have any final words?" Song Wen asked, considering Gong Tianzong’s cooperation.

A wistful expression appeared in Gong Tianzong’s eyes.

"The path of cultivation is a bloody and treacherous road, allowing no room for error. I have cultivated for over seven thousand years, slaughtering countless cultivators, massacring countless mortals, and personally strangling nine of my own disciples. I once had a dao companion, but I refined her into a corpse puppet. Even my blood relatives became excellent materials for blood pills."

Gong Tianzong suddenly erupted into maniacal laughter.

"Hahaha... I have no regrets, no regrets at all! If I could live this life again, I would be even more ruthless, heartless, and cruel. There is nothing in this world worth clinging to. If I have any final words, I wish you success in ascending to immortality. When you do, destroy the entire Divine Blood Gate! Hahaha..."

Song Wen wasted no more words. He activated the Black Hole above, swallowing Gong Tianzong and Feng Chang’s divine souls.

He continued his descent into the Primordial Qi Death Zone, veering deeper into its depths.

After traveling tens of millions of miles, Song Wen finally stopped.

The surrounding Primordial Qi had become so dense it was almost condensing into liquid.

His divine sense perception range had been compressed to a mere ten feet, but with the shadow void at his side, he felt no fear of encountering any surprises.

Finding a cave in the desolate, undulating terrain, Song Wen entered.

After setting up seventh-tier concealment and defensive formations, he retrieved Gong Tianzong’s corpse.

Sitting cross-legged, he pressed his claw-like right hand against the corpse’s chest.

The corpse’s blood essence and abundant spiritual power surged into Song Wen’s body like a raging river.

Song Wen’s robes billowed without wind, and his cultivation aura surged exponentially.

Within a mere handful of breaths, Song Wen’s cultivation encountered an invisible barrier:

The bottleneck of the Early Body Integration Stage!

Song Wen could clearly sense the surging spiritual power within his body crashing against this barrier like tidal waves against a reef. Though the impact stirred up layers of turbulent energy, it failed to breach the barrier.

Yet Gong Tianzong’s spiritual power, no weaker than Wei Gu’s had been, continued to pour relentlessly into Song Wen’s body.

Song Wen pushed the Corpse King’s Rebirth Art to its limits, desperately absorbing the foreign spiritual power and blending it seamlessly with his own. He channeled this combined force into repeated assaults against the invisible barrier.

Under the relentless onslaught of overwhelming spiritual power, the bottleneck crumbled like a dam breached by floodwaters, collapsing with a thunderous roar.

Song Wen’s cultivation instantly surged, breaking through to the Mid Body Integration Stage.

Meanwhile, Gong Tianzong’s spiritual power was nearly exhausted, the flow of foreign energy gradually weakening.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn:

Song Wen’s eyes suddenly snapped open, his gaze as sharp as lightning.

Gong Tianzong’s strength had exceeded expectations, nearly causing Song Wen to lose control during their battle. Yet the gains had also been unexpectedly substantial.

In high spirits, Song Wen lightly patted his waist.

A ten-foot-tall black shadow suddenly materialized.

"Hmm, this is the Primordial Qi Death Zone," the Nether Fox remarked, its eyes gleaming with delight as its five black tails danced wildly in the air.

Ever since Song Wen acquired the Spirit Beast Pouch capable of containing void fiends, the Nether Fox had been feasting on them regularly, its cultivation advancing by leaps and bounds. It had now reached the peak of the fifth-tier.

Its cunning eyes darted around before it lowered its body, assuming a dog-like posture on the ground.

Staring up at Song Wen with wide, pleading black eyes, it whined, "Master, may I go out and play for a while?"

"You want to leave the cave?" Song Wen asked.

"Yes!" the Nether Fox nodded eagerly.

"Very well. But... if you encounter any trouble, you’ll have to handle it yourself. Don’t bring it back here," Song Wen warned.

"Rest assured, Master. I won’t cause you any trouble," the Nether Fox replied, its eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Song Wen raised his hand and gently tapped the formation barrier.

Instantly, a gap opened in the barrier.

"Thank you, Master!"

The Nether Fox transformed into a streak of black light and darted out of the cave.

The crack in the formation barrier healed, and Song Wen resumed his cultivation, refining his surging spiritual power.

Six years later, the tranquility of the mountain cave was shattered by an unexpected event.

Shadow Void had broken through to the late seventh-tier.

Yet Song Wen, its master, found himself in a peculiar predicament. His cultivation had surged so rapidly that his divine sense couldn’t keep pace, leaving his divine sense realm lagging behind his cultivation realm.

Realizing this, Song Wen abruptly halted his seclusion and emerged from the cave.

A thousand miles away, the Nether Fox lay sprawled on the ground, licking a gruesome wound on its foreleg. Several deep, bone-exposing gashes marred its body, and its once-silky fur was now matted and filthy.

Sensing Song Wen’s emergence, the Nether Fox hastily scrambled toward him.

"Master, are you... leaving the Primordial Qi Death Zone?" the Nether Fox asked, its voice tinged with reluctance.

"Not yet. I need to capture some void fiends," Song Wen replied.

"Master, I know where to find them!" The Nether Fox’s eyes blazed with vengeful fervor, glinting with cold determination.

"Lead the way," Song Wen commanded.

After traveling over twenty thousand miles, they arrived at a mountain valley where Song Wen finally confronted the Nether Fox’s nemesis.

It was a sixth-tier early-stage void fiend, resembling a massive hairless cat with black scales covering its body.

"Vile beast! My master stands before you! Prepare to meet your doom!"

The Nether Fox hovered before Song Wen, basking in borrowed glory.

"Wooo—!"

The great cat void fiend suddenly opened its maw, extending nine writhing tentacles. Baring its fangs and claws, it let out a piercing howl.

A flicker of pain crossed the Nether Fox’s eyes, but it remained largely unscathed. With a swift movement, it darted behind Song Wen, wrapping its front paws around his thigh.

"Master, kill it quickly!"

A torrent of corpse qi erupted from Song Wen’s body, as thick as ink. The swirling energy coalesced into a massive, pitch-black hand that descended upon the void fiend.

Sensing the terrifying pressure emanating from the corpse qi hand, the great cat void fiend instantly lost its earlier arrogance. Its scales bristled, and it scrambled to flee on all fours.

But before it could escape even thirty meters, the colossal hand clamped down, seizing it firmly in its grasp.

The void fiend thrashed wildly, but it stood no chance against the corpse qi hand. Its only recourse was to unleash a series of desperate, piercing roars.

The Nether Fox emerged from behind Song Wen, enduring the void fiend’s divine sense attacks head-on. It approached the creature and, with swift strokes of its sharp claws, tore out each of the tentacles from its mouth, one by one.

"This thing can actually fight above its level," Song Wen murmured, watching the Nether Fox torment the void fiend into near-death.
