At night when it was quiet, Mount Luofu was enveloped by darkness. Apart from growls from wild beasts and roars from demonic beasts, nothing else could be heard in the wild forest.
Fortunately, Ji Mo and Huo Lin’er found a waterfall that had a cave behind it, where they found the remains of a colossal snake that had died for an unknown period of time. It seemed to be a demonic beast, and its body was more than 10 meters long, but only its skeleton was left behind, covered in dust.
Huo Lin’er sat with her legs crossed on the ground. Then, she retrieved a white jade bottle that had the word “antidote” written on it.
“F*ck!” Ji Mo uttered right away. He wondered, ‘If it’s an antidote, then it’s an antidote. Did she have to state it so clearly?’
Huo Lin’er took a green pill from the jade bottle, then nodded after smelling it. After consuming it, she sat quietly while waiting for the medicine to take effect. Normally, a cultivator could dissolve medicinal pills quickly by using True Qi, but she could only wait for the effect of the medicine to be released since her True Qi was sealed.
Exhaling deeply, Ji Mo took out a black item, which was the demonic core of a Giant Black Ape, a demonic beast at the Qi Plundering Boundary. It contained a substantial amount of demonic Qi so that if transformed into spiritual energy could allow him to be reborn.
Nevertheless, Ji Mo was concerned because it was the demonic core of a demonic beast at the Qi Plundering Boundary, hence the demonic Qi that it contained was beyond his imagination. If he could not suppress it using the Celestial Devil Power, and the demonic Qi went crazy inside his body, the consequences would be dire.
On second thought, he was slightly relieved because there were Hell’s aura and power, which could overpower anything, stored in the Celestial Devil Power. Even though he only had weak Hell power inside his body, it was probably enough for him to subdue the demonic Qi of a demonic beast at the Qi Plundering Boundary. Besides, Huo Lin’er had consumed the antidote and would recover her cultivation base in no time.
If anything bad happened, the Qi Plundering Boundary master could help him.
Ji Mo felt more at ease when he thought about that. He turned to look at Huo Lin’er, who happened to be staring at him too, but she quickly looked away with an amorous look in her eyes.
“Senior Sister Huo, I’ll refine this demonic core now. If I can’t suppress the core’s power later, I hope that you’ll help me,” Ji Mo said without any hesitation.
“What? Refine the demonic core? How do you plan to refine it? It’s the core of a demonic beast at the Qi Plundering Boundary.” Huo Lin’er immediately gaped in shock upon hearing Ji Mo.
“Of course, I swallowed it,” he answered.
Huo Lin’er replied to him with three words, “You’re courting death!!”
Subsequently, before he could explain any further, she told him everything that Lan Qingcheng mentioned, and she disapproved of his action no matter what.
“Don’t worry. I have a secret technique that allows me to refine the demonic core in my body. Trust me.”
Huo Lin’er did not manage to persuade him in the end, but she could not have stopped him anyway because he had already consumed the demonic core and crunched it with his teeth. The demonic core was as tough as a rock, but Ji Mo concentrated all his power in his teeth, so he could bite even a diamond.
Once Ji Mo took the demonic core, it turned into surging demonic Qi in his body, and the huge volume was nothing like anything he had ever seen. Whether it was the quality or the quantity, it was not on the same level as the other demonic beast cores that he had refined before. The surging demonic Qi gushed out like a flood from a burst dam, causing Ji Mo to groan.
Followed by that, he quickly activated the Celestial Devil Power in his blood and flesh. Then, the rushing demonic Qi slowed down and was no longer unrestrained as though it was being obstructed.
‘It really worked! The Celestial Devil Power is truly overbearing.’ Delighted, Ji Mo manipulated the Celestial Devil Power even faster to contain the demonic Qi that filled the Eight Extraordinary Meridians in his body, which was then transferred into spiritual energy that nourished his body. Spreading to every muscle and every bone in his body, the spiritual energy helped to strengthen his physique.
Nonetheless, the demonic core stored too much demonic Qi, hence it was rather difficult for Ji Mo to fully suppress it with his Celestial Devil Power. His face reddened and his neck thickened after just half an hour, and he was already drenched in sweat. Fortunately, he had cultivated the Celestial Devil Tempering Art to achieve the Celestial Devil Bone Refinement.
The Celestial Devil Power spread deep into his bones, forming an endless power source, thus Ji Mo was not worried that the power would be exhausted any time soon.
“Ji Mo, how are you?” Huo Lin’er had been standing guard next to Ji Mo worriedly because she had never heard of or seen someone like him who would consume a demonic core so boldly, and she felt that he was simply seeking death.
“I’m fine. The refinement of the demonic core is a much smoother process than I thought,” Ji Mo replied with a bright smile, so Huo Lin’er was relieved.
Despite that, she was extremely surprised, and she looked at Ji Mo strangely as if she was looking at a monster. “Can you really consume a demonic core to refine it? What’s this secret technique that sounds so marvelous?”
“Hehe, since it’s a secret technique, it’s not commonly known.” Ji Mo smiled mysteriously, then he shut his eyes again to refine the demonic Qi using the Celestial Devil Power with all his might, and transformed it into spiritual energy to nourish himself.
“You really are a little monster.” Huo Lin’er sighed and shook her head at Ji Mo.
Time was ticking away as Ji Mo refined the demonic Qi inside his body bit by bit. Eventually, the Celestial Devil Power almost became his instinct to the point that he did not need to activate it on purpose. The power would just rush wherever there was demonic Qi to disintegrate and refine it.
This saved Ji Mo a lot of trouble.
However, he soon found a strange occurrence. As he refined more demonic Qi, images appeared in his mind subconsciously, which were harmonious images1. Ji Mo was suddenly having **2 at that moment, and he needed an outlet. He began recalling Lu Susu’s sensual body, as well as her moves when she had tried to seduce him previously.
The thoughts triggered him to have even more **, and he could not control himself as if he had taken an illegal drug.
“No way! When I refined the Giant Black Ape’s demonic Qi, did I refine the brute’s *****1 too? This is terrible.” Ji Mo gritted his teeth to endure it. His face reddened and the veins on his forehead stood out as he suffered.
Ji Mo confirmed that he had refined the Giant Black Ape’s ** in his body, and the idea was making him lose control like he had taken a forbidden drug, thus he was dying to vent it on someone else. The worst part was that Huo Lin’er was just beside him, and given the circumstances, he could totally imagine what would happen next.
“Ji Mo, what’s wrong with you?” Huo Lin’er could not help but ask when she noticed him in misery. He was blushing, and beads of sweat were rolling down his face.
When Ji Mo smelled her alluring body scent, he found it harder to restrain himself, and the thought only became stronger.
“Don’t come near me!” Ji Mo roared at her like a wild beast.
Huo Lin’er was taken aback by his bellow, and she felt like she was wronged. “What is it? I’m just worried about you. What exactly happened to you? Are you having trouble controlling the demonic core’s power? I can help you.”
