Martial Peak

His True Yang Yuan Qi completely receded into his dantian, and Yang Kai was currently enveloped in black Demonic Qi, incredibly similar to how Devil General Meng Ge appeared.

 

However, there was still a distinct difference between the two, Meng Ge could obviously completely control his strength and restrain his Devil Qi, but Yang Kai was unable to do so, so instead he appeared as a human shaped cloud of darkness, and only when he blinked would one be able to notice a red glow radiating from his eyes.

 

A frigid demonic aura spread out from Yang Kai as bursts of crackling noises echoed throughout the cave.
 The walls quickly frosted over and became encased in a thick layer of ice.

 

The people outside quickly noticed something was odd.
This intense cold soon seeped out from the cave’s inner reaches and rapidly advanced towards them.

 

With a series of loud exclamations, all of them hurriedly fled, backing off almost a thousand meters.
 Looking back, their hearts couldn’t help but clinch as they watched all the moisture in the air condense and freeze as ice rapidly expanded across the cave floor and walls.

 

It was like they had suddenly been thrown into a frozen primordial world.

 

Even though they had retreated so far from this strange phenomenon, all of them couldn’t help shivering as the chill seemed to penetrate deep into their souls.

 

“What’s happening?” Chen Yi muttered in confusion, “Why does this chill feel so similar to what we experienced inside the Evil Spirit Spring?”

 

Before, when they were stranded atop that high pillar, everyone had acutely felt this frigid sensation, but compared to that time, what was happening before them right now was even more frightening.

 

“Is Yang Kai going to be okay?”  Hu Mei Er whispered to her big sister.

 

Hu Jiao Er nodded her head calmly, “This situation should be something he caused, as long as it continues like this he shouldn’t have any issues.”

 

In fact, Jiao Er was also uncertain about Yang Kai’s condition, but she could only speak such words to soothe her little sister.

 

Leng Shan nodded in agreement, “Good people don’t live long but a scourge lasts a thousand years, how could he possibly die from this.”

 

“Hmm…” Chen Yi narrowed his eyes as he quipped, “Junior Sister, how come your words sound so bitter?”

 

“Will you die if you shut up?” Leng Shan glared angrily at him.

 

“Hey hey…” Chen Yi simply laughed.

 

Inside the cave, Yang Kai’s expression remained temperate, completely indifferent to the frigid air around him.
 This icy coldness seemed to perfectly conform to his current condition, not only did it not cause him any discomfort, it instead gave him a pleasant sensation.

 

When he had used the energy stored inside the Unyielding Golden Skeleton in the past, Yang Kai had always felt it had a distinctly evil aura, now though, it had both an evil and a frigid air to it.
  These two energies mutually complemented one another and amplified their already tyrannical power.

 

Inside this cave is hidden from the sun and the moon, an unknown amount of time passed by.

 

When the last drop of energy from the giant essence was refined, it was like a spark had been lit, which awakened the Unyielding Golden Skeleton from its innumerable years of slumber.

 

At that moment, the bonds that had imprisoned the Unyielding Golden Skeleton were completely shattered.

 

A furious Demonic Qi burst forth spreading out across the entire cave, plunging it into darkness.
 As this Demonic Qi churned and billowed, it was like a soaring dragon had risen, sending out ferocious howls and terrifying roars.

 

Yang Kai’s eyes jerked open, and the crimson hue within them quickly receded, returning to their original black and white.

 

At the same time, all kinds of profound mysteries about the Golden Skeleton were thoroughly comprehended by Yang Kai, greatly enlightening him.

 

Within this roiling Demonic Qi, Yang Kai’s eyes shined.

 

Slowly lifting his gaze, Yang Kai stretched out a finger and gently drew it across his forehead as he softly chanted.

 

“Devil Transformation!”

 

Suddenly, his body became akin to a bottomless pit and madly swallowed the black Demonic Qi surrounding him.

 

All of this Demonic Qi condensed to the point it could be seen with the naked eye and quickly covered Yang Kai.

 

In just a breath worth of time, all the Demonic Qi in the air had disappeared and instead a series of black tattoos had appeared on Yang Kai’s skin.

 

These tattoos were densely arranged in various strange patterns, occupying almost ninety percent of his skin, and only his face was exempted.

 

Slowly standing up, Yang Kai’s expression and aura remained indifferent.
No joy or sadness was apparent on his face, and his eyes exuded a deep ice like chill.

 

However, he could clearly feel that his current state was very different from just before.

 

Instead of being wrapped in and surrounded by that thick black Demonic Qi, his form and face were completely unobstructed.
Now if Yang Kai didn’t remove his robes, he would simply appear no different from usual.

 

The biggest difference though was his combat effectiveness had greatly increased compared to his normal state.

 

Although his cultivation hadn’t changed, his realm had not risen at all, but refining the massive Evil Spirit Essence from the Evil Spirit Spring had seemingly unlocked the hidden potential of his Unyielding Golden Skeleton.

 

As Yang Kai stood the world seemed to shudder, and ripples spread out through the air around him.
All of this gave the illusion that everything around him would collapse.

 

An unparalleled demonic aura also radiated from him, which clearly alerted everyone who stood watching a thousand meters away.
Their eyes widened as they trembled unconsciously in fright.

 

Gently thrusting his fist out, a crisp bang resounded.

 

It was like this casual punch contained the power to shatter the Earth.

 

Standing there, Yang Kai was filled with an intense self-confidence; he felt that if an ordinary Immortal Ascension Boundary master were to stand before him right now, he could send them flying with a single blow.

 

Flicking his wrist, a bolt of Demonic Qi flew out like a striking snake, drilling a perfectly round hole into the frozen wall in front of him.
 Using his Divine Sense, Yang Kai followed the bolt as it drilled several dozen meters through solid rock before finally dissipating.

 

[Such power!] Yang Kai grinned, extremely pleased with this newfound strength.

 

In addition, Yang Kai felt that his vitality and Blood Force had also reached an unprecedented height!  If his estimate were correct, it was at least four or five times stronger than before.

 

The most potent benefit of a stronger Blood Force was that his restorative and healing powers would correspondingly increase.
 Physical strength and speed were also inextricably linked with the strength of one’s Blood Force.

 

After entering this Demon Transformation state, it seems that all the Blood Forces in his body had entered an extremely active state and had even been amplified!
