"Only such a mighty one... could become a worthy opponent for you, Holy Master," Shuo Wuji said.

"To cultivate the Infinite Demon Body..." Piao Miaoxu's Residual Soul, shrouded in darkness, spoke with a trace of rare excitement, "I knew that once this guy got his hands on the Wuji Treasure Book, he would definitely cultivate it."

"But once the Infinite Demon Body is complete, all the Cultivation within him will transform, absorbed by the Infinite Demon Body, and converted into the pure Power of Wuji."

"His Cultivation will inevitably dissipate and fall by a great margin..."

"Moreover, after transforming into a Demon Cultivator, his mindset will also be affected... Hmph, did he think it would be so easy to cultivate the Wuji Treasure Book of this entity?"

Shuo Wuji, who was beside him, pondered for a moment before saying, "Dongfang Mu is extremely cunning. With his intelligence, why would he choose to cultivate the Wuji Treasure Book? Why take such a huge risk?"

"Of course, it's for his women," Piao Miaoxu said calmly and composedly. "Mu Hongyuan walks the path of the Yin Yang Dao, but she hasn't had contact with the opposite sex for over a hundred years. This doesn't comply with the rules of the Yin Yang Dao at all, and she's completely reliant on that Demon Blade to forcibly merge with the Yin Yang Evil Qi."

"Unfortunately, such Cultivation is troublesome."

"Because it's not the proper Cultivation of the Yin Yang Dao, the Yin Yang Evil Qi within her will form Emotion Poison. The deeper her Cultivation, the stronger her Emotion Poison becomes. By the time of Ascension, her Path to Immortality is completely severed."

"To cross the Tribulation and achieve Ascension, without resolving the Emotion Poison, her demise is inevitable."

Piao Miaoxu sneered coldly, "But even if Dongfang Mu cultivates as quickly as possible, he couldn't possibly become an Ascension Expert in just a few years, or even a dozen years... If he cannot become an Ascension Expert, then Mu Hongyuan will never be able to resolve her Emotion Poison."

"The Emotion Poison that has been building up for hundreds of years, if it gets even slightly agitated and disperses, she only has one path left—death."

Shuo Wuji appeared contemplative.

"I had already seen through this point long ago..." Piao Miaoxu spoke indifferently, "With the Wuji Treasure Book, once someone cultivates the Infinite Demon Body, that Infinite Demon Body can absorb everything, even Emotion Poison!"

"With this, Dongfang Mu, that damned creature, could rely on the Infinite Demon Body to cultivate the Yin Yang Dao with Mu Hongyuan, absorb all of the Emotion Poison within her, completely circumventing the need to reach the Ascension Realm, and even utilizing the power of Emotion Poison to leap into becoming a Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation."

"Why wouldn't he cultivate it?"

"In this world, only the Infinite Demon Body possesses such formidable power!"

In fact... this was not entirely accurate.

"I see!" Shuo Wuji exclaimed in realization, "But Holy Master, aren't you helping him with this..."

"Fool," Piao Miaoxu laughed heartily, "Once the Infinite Demon Body is accomplished, he will have become a devil. After turning into a devil, he will no longer be the original Dongfang Mu. By then, all his inner beliefs will change..."

"At that time, I won't need to defeat him."

"He will come to me, kneel down, and call me Holy Master!"

"..." Shuo Wuji.

Would it really be so?

"My soul is gradually recovering its completeness..." Piao Miaoxu said lightly, "I am a Heavenly Demon, and with Dongfang Mu turning into a devil, as a person of heavenly destiny, he will draw immense Karma."

"I am the master of this Karma!"

"He will inevitably be under my control..."

"Unless, of course, he dares to disperse his Primordial Spirit and start cultivating a different method... then when the time comes, wouldn't it be effortless for me to annihilate him?"

「In Ling Province, the Bibo Sea.」

The water churned, and the waves roared in all directions.

The shock of Demonic Qi seemed to ignite the entire Bibo Sea.

In an instant, a figure flew out from the waves.

His upper body was bare, and the Mystic Water Divine Lock around his body had turned pitch black, with every inch broken.

The Mountain and Sea Patterns on his back were also stained pitch black.

His overwhelming aura solidified into something tangible. Especially in his eyes, which were filled with pitch blackness, flames of black void burned at the corners. His gaze was filled with arrogance and malice, and beneath it all, a hint of cold desire.

Infinite Demon Body.

Wang Mu had cultivated it.

But his state was a bit peculiar.

Because it was cultivated through Emotion Poison, which is a type of evil energy, it added an uncontrollable aspect to the Infinite Demon Body.

At this moment, within Wang Mu's Eighth Spiritual Acupoint, the energy formed from the absorption of Emotion Poison had already condensed into a pitch-black Golden Core.

On the Golden Core, there were red patterns symbolizing Emotion Poison, extremely eerie.

As the saying goes, one method of Magic Cultivation could lead to countless paths; the same Cultivation Technique, when practiced by different people and under different circumstances, could result in vastly different outcomes.

This was the case with Wang Mu at the moment.

The Infinite Demon Body he had cultivated was different from that of other Demon Cultivators, even from the Infinite Demon Body once cultivated by Shuo Wuji and Piao Miaoxu.

For example, at this moment...

He was yearning for a big fight.

Craving battle.

There seemed to be an unstoppable desire for battle and impulse within him.

Wanting to possess all things.

This was the will change caused by the Infinite Demon Body.

If not for the Five Elements Mixed Yuan Immortal Infant in his Sea of Consciousness suppressing it, he might have become such a Great Demon the moment he finished his transformation.

But a conflict between the Primordial Spirit and the body would lead to great chaos.

Either he had to act out the body's nature through combat.

Or his Primordial Spirit would need to transform and harmonize with the body.

Otherwise...

I originally thought of cultivating the Prajnaparamita Holy Scripture... but looking at the situation now, it seems there's no chance...

Cultivation, after all, can't always go as one wishes.

Wang Mu glanced over, observing the many sea beasts in the sea and the exotic beasts within Sealing God Mountain, feeling a strong urge to kill rising within him.
