"Mm."
Xu Qing nodded, thought for a mont, and said, "The third thod is, you could say, a combination of the first and second."
"First."
"You cultivate the Devouring Demon Technique. Although you’re only at the Third-Turn Demon Pill Realm, you have reached its limit and could break through at any mont."
"I, too, cultivate the Devouring Demon Technique, and have even reached the Sixth Turn Demon Pill Realm and mastered the ’Devouring Technique’."
"Therefore."
"I can teach you the ’Devouring Technique’. Even though you’re at the Third-Turn Demon Pill Realm, if we simplify the ’Devouring Technique’, you’ll have a chance to learn it."
"At the sa ti, I can help you pass the trial."
"When the ti cos."
"You’ll be able to complete the trial, receive the corresponding rewards, and leave ’Mysterious: Deserted Village’. This third thod is also the most viable one."
"Alright."
Ye Langtian didn’t hesitate. He imdiately said, "Master, we’ll do it your way."
"Good."
Xu Qing nodded.
RUMBLE!!!
ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!!!
The ground in the village shook, and the colossal roars of beasts were deafening.
"The beast tide is here! It’s here!"
"..."
The villagers’ screams rang out once again.
"It’s starting."
Xu Qing and Ye Langtian exchanged a look.
"Mm."
Ye Langtian nodded gravely.
Before long, Xu Qing and Ye Langtian charged into the beast tide. They stayed close, assisting each other amidst the horde. As they fought, Xu Qing began to teach Ye Langtian the ’Devouring Technique’.
However, the ’Devouring Technique’ required one’s Devouring Demon Technique to be at the Sixth Turn Demon Pill Realm. One had to master the Sixth Level of Devouring Demon Intent; only then could it be successfully Refined.
Since Ye Langtian was only at the Third-Turn Demon Pill Realm and had rely mastered the Threefold Devouring Demon Intent, it was impossible for him to learn the ’Devouring Technique’. Xu Qing could only continuously simplify it for him.
「Three days later.」
ROAR!!!
The Ink Qilin reappeared.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
A fierce battle erupted.
This ti, Xu Qing didn’t give up right away. He went all out, unleashing every technique and all his Power, clashing fiercely with the Ink Qilin on the battlefield.
"Sixth Level Frenzied Battle Intent!"
Xu Qing roared, his Battle Intent pushed to the Extre. He was like a man possessed, with nurous Level 20 items and artifacts circling him.
Unfortunately, Xu Qing’s Cultivation was still lacking. He was only at the Sixth Realm, so he couldn’t fully unleash the Mighty Power of these Level 20 items and artifacts.
Otherwise, Xu Qing would have been powerful enough to suppress the ’Ink Qilin’.
BOOM!
Another explosion rang out.
"Cough, cough..."
Xu Qing coughed up blood. His injuries were severe, but the Ink Qilin was also heavily wounded. ’It’s still not enough,’ he thought. ’I can’t defeat this Ink Qilin.’
"Huu..."
Xu Qing took a deep breath, the tallic tang of his own blood filling his nostrils. ’Still not enough. I can’t kill this Ink Qilin.’
’Also...’
Xu Qing continued his train of thought. ’After this beast tide, I’ve absorbed enough Frenzied Battle Intent to raise it to the level of Sixth Layer Perfection.’
’And...’
’Once the Frenzied Battle Intent reached Sixth Layer Perfection, it could no longer be improved. That’s because any Power absorbed by the ’Devouring Technique’ cannot surpass the limits of the ’Devouring Demon Technique’ itself.’
’My Devouring Demon Technique Cultivation is at the Sixth Turn Demon Pill Realm, and I’ve mastered the Sixth Level of Devouring Demon Intent. Therefore, my ’Frenzied Battle Intent’ cannot surpass the ’Sixth Realm’.
’This is the limit of the ’Devouring Demon Technique’.’
SPLAT!
Blood splattered.
Ye Langtian killed himself again. He slamd his right palm against his own forehead, committing suicide for the second ti in the sa fashion. His surroundings began to blur and distort.
"!!!"
Xu Qing’s expression flickered. He felt the sa sensation again as the world before him plunged into darkness, his senses seemingly stripped away.
The next mont, everything returned to normal. With Ye Langtian’s death, the ’trial’ had reset, and his face had grown a shade paler.
"Master."
Ye Langtian appeared before Xu Qing. "Are you alright?"
"I’m fine."
Xu Qing’s face was pale. Even though the trial had restarted and Ye Langtian had been revived, Xu Qing’s injuries hadn’t healed in the slightest.
Just as Xu Qing had suspected, the trial of ’Mysterious: Deserted Village’ was ant for Ye Langtian, not him. If Xu Qing were to be injured or killed, there would be no reset. His death would be permanent. Only Ye Langtian could start over, at the cost of one year of his Lifespan.
After Ye Langtian died, the trial did indeed start over, but Xu Qing’s injuries hadn’t recovered in the slightest; he was still severely wounded.
Imdiately, Xu Qing sat cross-legged and took out several pieces of Level 7 Spiritual Food from his Level 10 Broken Storage Ring. He consud the Spiritual Food and circulated his Cultivation Technique to recover from his injuries.
Half an hour later.
Xu Qing’s injuries were fully healed.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
The ground began to shake, and the roars of beasts echoed out.
The beast tide had appeared once again.
"Prepare for battle,"
Xu Qing said.
"Yes."
Ye Langtian responded.
In the blink of an eye, another battle broke out. Xu Qing and Ye Langtian joined forces to fight the beast tide, slaughtering countless Frenzied Beasts, Frenzied Demonic Beasts, and Fierce and Frenzied Beasts.
BUZZ! BUZZ!
anwhile, Xu Qing continued to teach Ye Langtian the ’Devouring Technique’. By using it repeatedly in battle, Ye Langtian slowly started to get the hang of it.
Three days later.
SPLAT!
Blood splattered.
Ye Langtian killed himself again.
HUM!
The trial reset.
Ti flowed on.
Once... twice... three tis...
Ye Langtian killed himself again and again, his actions decisive and resolute. He was becoming more and more like a Mad Demon, his eyes faintly turning blood-red as he entered a frenzied state.
Moreover, Xu Qing could feel an extrely frenetic power slowly awakening within Ye Langtian’s body...
Finally, after Ye Langtian had killed himself eleven consecutive tis...
BOOM!
During his twelfth confrontation with the beast tide, Ye Langtian’s Cultivation broke through. The frenzied Power within his body elevated his Devouring Demon Intent to the ’Fourth Realm’, and his Devouring Demon Technique reached the ’Fourth Turn Demon Pill Realm’.
Just like that, Ye Langtian’s power had increased.
Devouring Demon Intent surged.
"Devouring Technique!!!"
RUMBLE!!!
A deafening roar resounded.
After stepping into the ’Fourth Turn Demon Pill Realm’ and mastering the Fourth-level Devouring Demon Intent, Ye Langtian had finally succeeded in learning the simplified ’Devouring Technique’.
Ye Langtian raised his right hand, and a black vortex materialized in his palm, looking nearly identical to Xu Qing’s own Devouring Technique.
Most importantly, the simplified ’Devouring Technique’ Ye Langtian had mastered was infused with the power of his own ’Mad Blood’, making his version of the technique seem slightly unhinged.
In an instant, the surrounding beast corpses were devoured, transforming into pure ’Frenzied Battle Intent’ that Ye Langtian swiftly absorbed and Refined, making it his own Power.
BOOM!
Another roar thundered.
The blood qi around Ye Langtian began to burn. Having devoured enough beast corpses, he had already mastered Frenzied Battle Intent, reaching the First Realm.
This ant that by activating the First Level Frenzied Battle Intent, Ye Langtian could double his own power.
"Master."
BUZZ! BUZZ!
Ye Langtian had already mastered his new power. He looked up, his eyes crimson. The combination of frenzied energy and madness made him feel as though he was on the verge of becoming a Mad Demon.
"I have successfully learned the Devouring Technique."
"Good."
Xu Qing saw Ye Langtian’s condition and was inwardly shocked. He hadn’t expected Ye Langtian to actually succeed, let alone surpass his expectations. "Excellent."
"Next."
"I will help you raise your Frenzied Battle Intent to the peak of the Fourth Realm. Then, we’ll join forces to pass this trial and leave ’Mysterious: Deserted Village’."
"Yes."
Ye Langtian nodded respectfully. "I await your command, Master."
