Chapter 617: Chapter 307: Plum Trees Gracefully Standing

The teapot lid was placed on top of the bronze-horned golden coffin. According to the activation method in Lady Yi’s memory, Li An stood three steps away and operated the exotic magical power. In no time, the teapot lid appeared mysterious; the space it occupied seemed twisted, and in the shadowy illusions, Li An faintly glimpsed numerous demonic shadows, as if pair after pair of eyes were gazing at him from the void.

"Sss sss..."

"Woo woo..."

"Ho ho..."

Suddenly, chaotic demonic sounds began to ring in his ears, and Li An knew that the demon souls within the demonic teapot lid were demanding a sacrifice. He took out the bottle given by Yi Lingwei, presented it with both hands, and opened the lid.

The black liquid inside the jade bottle flew out on its own, transformed into a delicate stream, and flowed towards the teapot lid. For a moment, within the twisted space, Li An seemed to see demonic shadows gathering beside the stream, drinking eagerly and making sounds of satisfaction.

After a long time,

the source of the exotic demon in the jade bottle was exhausted.

In that twisted space, an ethereal ghost face emerged. Although the demonic sound was strange, Li An could understand its meaning: 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"What do you seek?"

"Heaven-Devouring Demon Skill!"

Li An spoke using his Divine Sense.

"The offering is insufficient, you can only obtain one-tenth. If you make a primary contract, you can obtain it all."

The demonic sound resonated again.

At this moment, Li An felt an inexplicable agitation within, as if he really wanted to follow the voice’s suggestion and forge a primary contract to completely own the demonic teapot lid!

However, he was prepared, and the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill was operating at its peak. A cool, refreshing essence continuously flowed through his heart, preventing him from losing his mind, and he spoke, "Let me first see the one-tenth. If the skill is indeed extraordinary, then we can forge a primary contract."

Demonic Sound: "?" ...

Yet, from within the demonic teapot lid, a sphere of black light flew out, suspended in front of Li An. He reached out a finger and projected the information into his mind.

"Supreme Celestial Demon Skill!"

Li An was startled because as soon as this demon skill entered his mind, he immediately realized... this skill shared the same origin as his Immortal Celestial Demon Skill!

There were too many similarities between the two.

However, the Supreme Celestial Demon Skill was more complete than the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill, containing more horrifying taboo evil skills and killing paths.

Could the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill be an incomplete version of this Supreme Celestial Demon Skill?

A thought flashed through Li An’s mind, but he quickly dismissed it. Because the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill itself was not incomplete; it seemed more like someone had modified it based on the Supreme Celestial Demon Skill, creating a new demon skill.

In the Spirit Realm, the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill already had a fierce reputation, considered antithetical to heaven and earth. Any cultivator using it would be hunted by super forces like the Dao Sect, but now, in comparison to the Supreme Celestial Demon Skill, Li An suddenly felt that the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill was quite gentle!

"Is this the Heaven-Devouring Demon Skill? It is, for this skill’s true name should be the Supreme Celestial Demon Skill, only the cultivator was the Heaven-Devouring Great Demon, known by all, hence the skill is called the Heaven-Devouring Demon Skill."

Li An muttered.

"Forge the primary contract, obtain the complete skill—"

At this moment, the demonic sound gradually transmitted into his ear again, rising and falling, gently persuasive yet urgent.

Just hearing this sound was enough to dizzy and captivate anyone, as if the vision of longevity appeared right before them, with immense fortune at their fingertips, making resistance almost impossible...

"Forge the primary contract, forge the primary contract..."

Li An murmured as well, walking towards the demonic teapot lid, appearing somewhat spellbound.

He reached out his hand towards the demonic teapot lid, seemingly about to place his hand on it.

On the demonic teapot lid, strands of black demonic threads seemed ready to burrow into his hand—

But just then, the hand that Li An was slowly lowering suddenly turned into an incredibly swift slap, smacking the demonic teapot lid, launching it into the air, and with a clang, it crashed into a dark corner.

"Trying to tempt me, you don’t even look at what sort of trash you are!"

Li An cursed, picked up Lady Yi’s tooth, walked over, and stomped twice on the demonic teapot lid before putting it into the tooth, and then back to the coffin to fit the tooth into Lady Yi’s mouth.

Only then did he let out a long breath, and the agitation within faded away without a trace.

Supreme Celestial Demon Skill? Indeed a shocking skill, but once truly practiced, it would mean a new stormy and bloody path, becoming the next Heaven-Devouring Old Demon.

Crazy?

I have a perfectly good immortal path to walk, why bother with your ridiculous Demon Dao?

Hence, to Li An, this Supreme Celestial Demon Skill was truly worthless, at most an eye-opener.

Moreover, since the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill and this skill share the same origin, Li An would continue practicing the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill, which was only somewhat less powerful, not as overbearing or monstrous, and this was perfectly acceptable to Li An.

"No, wait..."

But just then, a figure suddenly flashed through Li An’s mind.

Shangguan Shengxian!

Was her purpose for entering the Yi Clan really this item?

This was purely speculation, mainly because if this was the source of the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill, and Shangguan Shengxian appeared in the Yi Clan, he naturally made a connection.

Shangguan Shengxian is the current Leader of the Demon Sect, having obtained the coffin of the past Demon Emperor. It was also normal for her to have learned about the origins of the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill from that coffin.
