Chapter 10
As Chen Luoyang pondered, he focused his concentration on the Divine Demon Blood’s illustration. The illustration expanded, and there were more words of explanation.
[Divine Demon Blood, Initial Level.]
[This cultivation has emphasis on one’s ominous nature and evil tendencies. It is biased…]
Chen Luoyang was rather pensive after reading it.
He exited from the Divine Demon Blood’s illustration and looked at the Divine Martial Demon Fist’s illustration.
[Divine Martial Demon Fist, Initial Level.]
[Only the first form ‘Chiyou’

has reached the sub-completion level. The nine forces have yet to reach a fusion state…]
Chen Luoyang’s eyes lit up after reading to this point.
The Great Heaven Demon Hand had a total of nine moves. Could the so-called first form, ‘Chiyou’ be derived, broken up, and transformed into nine moves of absolute martial arts? Looking from this angle, the power of the new Divine Martial Demon Fist seemed to be far superior to the Great Heaven Demon Hand.
Chen Luoyang recalled the first time he read his information. Back then, the Heaven Demon Blood and the Great Heaven Demon Hand were both evaluated as being on completion level, but yet to reach perfection level.
Right now, the Divine Demon Blood and Divine Martial Demon Fist had been directly evaluated as being at the initial level. This had also proven his earlier conjecture. The problem now was how to continue the next steps in cultivation. If he continued to cultivate using the methods of the Heaven Demon Blood and Great Heaven Demon Hand, could he continue to improve?
Chen Luoyang thought about the descriptions of the Demon Cult on and also the cult rules that Dragon Claw 11 had recited previously on his order.
The Demon Cult that dictated the Southern Desolate Demon Domain had the official name of “Ancient Divine Cult”.
It was said that the different factions didn’t originally exist in the Grand Divine Province; instead, they had come from the outside world. There were formidable beings that ventured across to this world and settled down in this place.
The cult-defining, supreme, and divine technique was named Heaven Demon Blood, but the Ancient Divine Cult didn’t offer tributes to any Heaven Demon or other demons. Instead, they worshiped all sorts of ancient divine spirits — especially the legendary creators of the world and the ancestors of humans, Pangu

, Fuxi

, and Nüwa

as their three great deities.
The rest were Huangtian

, Houtu

, Xuanming

, Zhurong

, Gonggong

, and others.
Chiyou was one of those divine spirits.
The people now had the habit of addressing them as ancient gods and demons. The “gods and demons” didn’t contain any negative notions or reverence. It didn’t separate good and evil; they were neutral terms, and they were collectively named as ancient powerful living beings.
Chen Luoyang pondered in a delicate manner,
Divine Demon Blood and Divine Martial Demon Fist. The intent and rationality of the martial arts are obviously very fitting for the Ancient Divine Cult’s creed and are of common origins. However, the Heaven Demon Blood and the Great Heaven Demon Hand are like the incomplete versions that were derived from the former martial arts.
My current transformations are more like a return to the origin, and reverting back to the original and complete version of the divine technique. The reason for all these happenings is that mysterious black pot. My future cultivation method is probably going to come from it.
Chen Luoyang attempted something new. While he was mentally communicating with the black pot, he cultivated the Heaven Demon Blood.
As expected, the radiance that his eyes emitted had turned from black to dark gold. At the same moment, the surface of the black pot actually appeared with dark gold runes!
When Chen Luoyang read the runes, he could comprehend it in his heart.
Divine Demon Blood! Divine Martial Demon Fist!
Chen Luoyang let out a sigh of relief before he felt delighted.
The previous generations of Demon Cult Masters used the Heaven Demon Blood and Great Heaven Demon Hand to dominate the Grand Divine Province. Now that I have the stronger Divine Demon Blood and Divine Martial Demon Fist, I have a great advantage. It is a great thing after all. However, this joy contains worries too.
Heaven Demon Blood has been completely swapped with Divine Demon Blood. During normal times, my eyes might still emit a black radiance, but once I circulate this technique or fight with someone, my eyes will automatically turn dark gold. In the eyes of others, they would immediately notice the difference. It would be hard to prevent someone from feeling suspicious.
It would be fine if I am unrivaled in the world. No one would dare to argue unnecessarily. However, my severe injuries have yet to recover, and if I need to fight with someone, I will need to be careful.
Remote waters wouldn’t be able to quench my current thirst. I have to find a method to recover some combat strength as quickly as possible…
Chen Luoyang mulled over this.
He then skimmed through his information again. Apart from the Divine Demon Blood and Divine Martial Demon Fist, there were also the four other absolute martial arts.
After referring to the Cult Master’s token — the Limitless Manifestation Divine Technique, Great Sun Monarch Art, Extreme Yin True Sutra, and Absolution Demon Palm, along with the Day of Change Technique and Ancient Eight Word Classics — these would form the Demon Cult’s six unrivaled absolute martial arts that were only inferior to the cult-defining divine technique.
The Ancient Eight Word Classics was the Demon Cult’s martial art foundation. It was separated into eight chapters: Heaven, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Water, Fire, Mountain, and Lake.
After cultivating any one of the chapters, it would allow half the effort to cultivate other Demon Cult martial arts that had corresponding attributes; furthermore, it would form a deep and firm foundation.
The Demon Cult martial arts were famed for their cultivation speed and for producing excellent youth experts. This Ancient Eight Word Classics was one of the main contributing factors.
Take Azure Dragon 5 Ding Chen for example, he cultivated the Ancient Wind Word Classics which was one of the eight chapters. With the Ancient Wind Word Classics as his foundation, he then cultivated one of the Demon Cult’s 36 hidden martial arts, Illusion Demon Body Technique, and was quickly proficient in it.
The original Cult Master had never cultivated the Ancient Eight Word Classics because he had the superior Heaven Demon Blood.
Apart from that, among the six unrivaled martial arts, he had never skimmed through the Day of Change Technique. It was an elite martial art that borrowed force to attack. When cultivated to a certain level, the practitioner didn’t have to use strength and could automatically form a field around the vicinity. Any attack force from enemies would be automatically redirected back to them.
Chen Luoyang’s eyes lit up.
This is most suitable for me right now. But why didn’t the original Cult Master cultivate it?
At once, Chen Luoyang studied this unrivaled martial art in a serious manner. Just as he was pondering, his jade pendant rang three times. Chen Luoyang frowned and gently knocked on the jade pendant three times too.
Soon enough, Azure Dragon 5 entered his room. “Reporting to Cult Master. The enemies that attacked our manor have all been subdued and incorporated into our forces. They will listen to your commands at all times.”
Azure Dragon 5 continued speaking while kneeling down, “Chu Xincheng is still rather obedient and has been cooperating with this subordinate. He has also handed over some information, but they still have to be verified.”
Chu Xincheng was the Shu Prefecture Governor that had just surrendered to the Demon Cult.
Azure Dragon 5 continued his report. “According to Chu Xincheng’s statements, he didn’t know that the Cult Master was at the Amrita Manor and was just obeying orders. The Great Xia Empire didn’t just send one martial king, Huijue, to the Shu Prefecture!”
Chen Luoyang nodded slightly. His earlier intuition of danger was correct.
“Extract all the information that he knows.” Chen Luoyang instructed in an indifferent manner, “It will be much more convenient for my cult to invade the Shu Prefecture with this experienced, old horse. But you have to monitor him closely and don’t let him trick us into a trap in return.”
Azure Dragon 5 kowtowed and said, “Yes, Cult Master. This subordinate shall comply with your teachings!”
After a short pause, Azure Dragon 5 said softly, “Cult Master, there is another thing. The ones that were initially pursued by our cult members, that person who came to seek help from Dragon Claw 11, he seems to be related to the Sword Pavilion.”
Chen Luoyang responded nonchalantly, “Speak.”
Azure Dragon 5 immediately replied, “Reporting to Cult Master. At the west of Cloud Martial County, which is under our control, there is a mountain called Phoenix Mountain. On that mountain, there is a faction called the Flying Phoenix Sect. The sect master’s only son, Yang Xiaofeng, had injured our cult members. As such, our members charged into their sect and exterminated the Flying Phoenix Sect. Yang Xiaofeng and a few others were fortunate enough to escape, and they were pursued by our cult members all the way to the Amrita Manor.
“Dragon Claw 11 had deceived him and found out that Yang Xiaofeng is related to the Sword Pavilion. They were hoping that Dragon Claw 11 could escort them to the Sword Pavilion and seek their aid to fight our cult.”
The so-called martial world young hero…
Chen Luoyang sobbed a little in his heart.
I didn’t become a martial world young hero. Instead, I became a villainous demon king.
