Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 124: Chapter 49 Demon Path_1

“Just as expected, he took the bait!”

The silver-white glow in Shen Yuan’s eyes faded, and the power of the Pot Heaven’s Divine Power slowly vanished, returning his distorted vision of space back to normal.

This was a way of using Pot’s Heaven Divine Power that Shen Yuan realized while researching Formation and taking advantage of Sainthood Attainment Enlightenment Array Formation’s effects.

Theoretically, ignoring spatial distance could give him unlimited vision without any fluctuations of Divine Sense or Spell, making it a nearly perfect method of spying.

The only flaw was that without a fixed spatial coordinate, it was hard for Shen Yuan to lock onto a specific location. Even a slight miscalculation in distance could lead to a massive disparity.

Shen Yuan could only pinpoint the exact location by using the Sword Qi that pierced the Black Wind Mountain God inside.

This intervention of space had only one defect: he couldn’t hear anything. But for now, just being able to see was good enough for Shen Yuan.

After seeing Aman’s reaction, Shen Yuan was finally sure about his suspicions – Aman and that ring had an extremely unique connection.

In fact, Shen Yuan grew dubious and apprehensive about Aman the moment he first saw him.

This wasn’t just sparked by Bai Xue’s warning, but also due to some inconsistencies he observed about Aman.

At that time, Aman was aiding the injured, but his arms were smeared with too much blood, and pieces of flesh were stuck under his nails. This would not be possible if he was normaly dressing someone’s wounds.

Aman claimed that the casualty had died from a collapsed building, and due to the assault of the bear demon at that time, nobody paid attention.

But after seeing that the Black Wind Mountain God was also a bear demon, Shen Yuan began to question that bear demon who had attacked the hunters.

The bear demon that attacked the hunters was a progeny of the Black Wind Mountain God, so it should have understood that its mission was to intimidate humans, not slaughter them on a large scale.

When Shen Yuan arrived, the bear demon was preparing to go on a killing spree, which didn’t make sense.

With all these clues, Shen Yuan deduced that someone might have deliberately lured the bear demon to attack the hunters to achieve his own aim.

The only one in the hunting team who had both the ability and the motive, was the mysterious Aman.

Given the current information, the most probable assumption was that Aman used some means to lure the bear demon to attack the hunters, hoping to draw its attention to the hunters while he himself looked for an opportunity to kill the Essence Refining Stage bear demon.

But Aman’s plans were ruined when Shen Yuan arrived and killed the bear demon with a single stroke. In his rage, Aman murdered an injured person and then disguised it as an accident where the casualty was killed by a collapsing building.

One reason for this was to vent his anger. The second was to possibly use the injured person temporarily as a replacement for the bear demon to further a certain aim.

The fragments of flesh in Aman’s nails did not look like muscle tissues, but rather pieces of some internal organ.

After Shen Yuan critically wounded the Black Wind Mountain God with one stroke, he noticed Aman’s covetous eyes on the Black Wind Mountain God from the crowd.

So, Shen Yuan let the Black Wind Mountain God go, under the pretense of sparing its life, and made it take all the villagers of Hea Family Village out of the Yunfu mountains.

The Black Wind Mountain God, with its power reduced to a fraction by Shen Yuan’s stroke and weakened from escorting the people to the border of Yunfu mountains away from Black Wind Mountain, lost the advantage of the Mountain God Seal.

Under these factors, the Black Wind Mountain God was at its weakest.

If there was something wrong with Aman, he would not let go of the opportunity to kill the Black Wind Mountain God.

The end result was just like Shen Yuan had predicted. Aman, taking advantage of the wound that Shen Yuan had inflicted, used a special divine skill to absorb all the essence and blood of the Black Wind Mountain God.

The action of crushing the heart confirmed why Aman’s hands were covered in fragments of organ tissues.

For Shen Yuan, Aman’s motives had become clear.

“He always seems troublesome, should I take this opportunity to eradicate him with a single stroke?”

Shen Yuan silently pondered in his heart.

The Divine Skill that Aman used to absorb the essence blood of the Black Wind Mountain God was extremely peculiar. A mere mortal was able to forcibly devour a Peak Stage Qi Transformation monster tribe member, which undoubtedly proved his uniqueness.

But relying solely on this method was far from posing a threat to Shen Yuan.

Targeting his location through a spatial view and commanding the Darkness- Light Sword with a fake Primordial Spirit to kill the minor demon from tens of kilometers away wouldn’t be too difficult.

What Shen Yuan was truly wary of, was the item within the ring in Aman’s hand.

“That Divine Skill seems to have some characteristics of a Magic Cultivator.”

Shen Yuan muttered to himself with a slight frown.

For over a month, Shen Yuan had taken advantage of the opportunity to study tens of thousands of cultivation scriptures. This allowed him to supplement his knowledge of the Cultivation World, including information about the Demon Path.

While the Demon Path was not mainstream in the Cultivation World, it was favored by numerous cultivators due to its rapid cultivation speed. When nearing the end of their lifespan, some even chose to immerse themselves in the Demon Path to extend it.

Since Spirit Energy depletion began, Magic Cultivators had become even more rampant.

With the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge lasting for hundreds of years, ordinary cultivators would find it difficult to reach the peak of cultivation during this period. The Demon Path was an exception, however.

As long as there were enough Blood Sacrifices, Magic Cultivators could easily climb to higher realms. This is why each wave of Spirit Energy Tidal Surge usually produced a powerful demon that caused chaos in the world.

Fortunately, these Magic Cultivators were often troubled by their inner demons and engaged in internal strife. Hence, they never got the opportunity to occupy a blessed grotto heavens sacred ground.

This led to the extinction of many Magic Cultivators during the prolonged Spirit Energy depletion period. Emerging Magic Cultivators were suppressed by the powerful beings from both the grotto heavens sacred grounds and the Hidden Sects, preventing them from growing further.

Aman was just an ordinary person, an undeveloped Magic Cultivator. Even if he managed to devour the entire essence blood of the Black Wind Mountain God, it meant nothing to him.

But the thing hidden in his ring might not be that simple.

A common hunter living in the mountains certainly would not have the guts to attack the long-established Peak Stage Qi Transformation Mountain God, let alone using a Demon Path Divine Skill.

Shen Yuan speculated that the ring might be concealing an old Demon Path monster that survived the Spirit Energy depletion period. The Divine Skill used by Aman was likely handed down by this old monster.

Thinking about how Bai Xue, who was usually fearless, displayed such abject terror, Shen Yuan seriously shook his head.

“Without certainty, I should not act rashly.

Even the mere remnant soul of Prince Ji Du managed to cause such a commotion, perhaps the old monster in the ring is even more troublesome.”

“If I really intend to deal with this old monster, I ought to plan for the long term.”

There was a deep light in Shen Yuan’s eyes as he contemplated solutions.

The next moment, a spark of Divine Sense flashed through his mind.

“The Yunfu mountains are dominated by the monster tribe. The fall of the Black Wind Mountain God will surely cause a significant impact.

If other Mountain God Demons discover that the human who killed the Black Wind Mountain God is still roaming around the Yunfu mountains, who knows how they would react?”
