Chapter 1060 Ancient Heavenly Demon! Demon Transformation Ceremony! 2

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Su Changkong’s body trembled as he came back to his senses, his eyes filled with shock as they stared at him.

Unbeknownst to him, Su Changkong’s eyes had turned dark red, and a black aura on his body had condensed into a solid form, wrapping around him like black snakes. A violent and ferocious emotion flooded his mind, prompting an instinctive desire to destroy everything in sight.

While Su Changkong was startled, his Primordial Spirit operated naturally, forcefully dispersing the violent emotions, and the black aura on his body gradually faded.

Su Changkong’s face couldn’t look worse. "It was that Divine Envoy… What did he do? Some change has occurred with the Monster Soul imprint in my Sea of Consciousness!"

"How… How could this happen? The Divine Envoy granted my opportunity to you!"

Meanwhile, Jiang Yuanwu, who was restrained, widened his eyes as he seemed to realize something, letting out a roar of shock and disbelief.

Jiang Shoudao looked at Su Changkong with a bit of pity and realization, murmuring to himself, "So that’s how it is… The Heavenly Demon appeared because he tampered with you, trying to transform you into a Demon Monster and pull you into their ranks!"

Jiang Yuanwu’s goal was to undergo a complete metamorphosis, to transform into a Demon Monster. In that way, he could rise to the heavens in a single step and have endless possibilities in the future, reaching realms he dared not even dream of.

Jiang Yuanwu had been planning and preparing for a long time to come to this Ancient Sea to complete his metamorphosis.

However, the unexpected happened. The strength of Su Changkong, a Divine Seed Martial Saint, was so strong that he directly defeated the Dragon Snake, a Demon Monster, in a head-on confrontation. This sparked the interest of the Divine Envoy, who then changed his mind.

Originally, the Divine Envoy had intended to let Jiang Yuanwu transform into a Demon Monster, but after witnessing Su Changkong’s strength and potential, he changed his mind and granted this opportunity to Su Changkong instead!

It was a spur of the moment decision for the Divine Envoy, like encountering something amusing and acting on a whim, arbitrary and unrestrained!

Su Changkong’s face looked terrible, recalling how the Divine Envoy had previously inscribed some ancient language imbued with demonic power in his Sea of Consciousness, which seemed to be the ceremony to transform into a Demon Monster. Does this mean he will become a Demon Monster?

Su Changkong took pride in being a human and had no desire to step out of that realm and transform into another race.

Moreover, Su Changkong was well aware that becoming a Demon Monster meant not just a transformation of the physical body, but a complete change of the soul and thought patterns. Would he still be himself? He would be completely another person, another creature!

"Why… does he have the qualifications to transform into a Demon Monster…" Jiang Yuanwu shook his head in disbelief, unable to accept that the goal he yearned for and pursued could be obtained so easily by Su Changkong.

Jiang Shoudao stared at Su Changkong. "According to the Ancient Scriptures left by the First Saint, there are three necessary conditions to transform into a Demon Monster. First, you need a Heavenly Demon to oversee it; second, you must possess the Monster Soul imprint; third, you need to have cultivated a Primordial Spirit."

The corner of Su Changkong’s mouth twitched slightly at Jiang Shoudao’s words.

Cultivating a Primordial Spirit was a prerequisite; otherwise, one wouldn’t survive the transformation ceremony. The power contained in the ancient, curse-like language previously uttered by the Divine Envoy had almost shattered his Sea of Consciousness. Had it not been for his Primordial Spirit, anyone else would have suffered a soul-shattering fate.

As for the Monster Soul imprint, Su Changkong had slain a Demon Monster King from the Demon Nest, who had marked him with the Monster Soul imprint upon its death throes, also fulfilling this requirement.

Clearly, the Divine Envoy noticed this as well, and coupled with Su Changkong’s shown strength and potential, he took an interest and whimsically used his Heavenly Demon authority to awaken and alter the nature of the Monster Soul imprint in his Sea of Consciousness, attempting to transform him into a Demon Monster, which might potentially add a powerful being to their side in the future!

Even if the subject died early, there was actually no loss to him.

"This… Monster Soul imprint… It’s a do-or-die method only possessed by kings among Demon Monsters. Elder Su has slain a Demon Monster of such rank?"

Jiang Yao and the others were somewhat astonished to hear this.

Having cultivated a Primordial Spirit, Su Changkong met this requirement, and it seems he had slain a formidable Demon Monster, having been struck by the opponent’s deathblow technique, the Monster Soul imprint!

Su Changkong also fell silent, sensing a hint of hostility in Jiang Shoudao’s eyes.

It was quite normal; Su Changkong would gradually transform into a Demon Monster, a process that was difficult to reverse. Once Su Changkong became a Demon Monster, with his potential, he would at least be able to match a Great Divine Power Martial Artist in the future, inevitably becoming a significant threat and an enemy rather than an ally.

"Guest Elder Shoudao… Elder Su is also one of our Jiang Family. The events that transpired today are due to our family member’s doing; our Jiang Family can’t ignore this matter!"

Jiang Yao also noticed the faint hint of hostility from Jiang Shoudao and hurriedly called out.

Jiang Shoudao pondered. Su Changkong was far too demonic. With the strength of a Martial Saint with a Divine Seed, to face and chop down a true Demon Monster, even the Heavenly Demon took great interest, daring to risk being pursued to reveal his methods, conducting a ceremony to transform Su Changkong into a Demon Monster.

The most correct, ruthless solution would have been to take this opportunity to completely annihilate Su Changkong, thereby uprooting the problem once and for all!

Yet this was not the Jiang Family’s way of handling things. Su Changkong was a Guest Elder of the Jiang Family. His fall into misfortune was due to betrayal by a traitor within the family. The Jiangs could not absolve themselves of their relationship with him.

The hostility in Jiang Shoudao’s eyes gradually receded, and he sighed, "I will report this matter to Holy Emperor His Majesty and see if he has any solutions. You all should go back first."

"Yes," Jiang Yao and the others replied.

Jiang Shoudao then took the restrained Jiang Yuanwu and rapidly disappeared into the Ancient Sea; he still needed to rendezvous with Holy Emperor Jiang and the others.

"Elder Su... let us depart as well," Jiang Yao said, glancing at Su Changkong.

"Mm."

Su Changkong nodded slightly and stuffed the Dragon Snake’s corpse into the Storage Treasure. After the fierce battle with the Dragon Snake, he was completely exhausted, not to mention that his own body was undergoing a transformation into a Demon Monster. He needed to find some peace and carefully examine the changes in himself.

The group embarked on the Heavenly Ship and left the Ancient Sea.

All four were in a somewhat somber mood. This trip almost led to them being harmed by their own kin.

Not only that, but they had also witnessed the true terror of existence.

Even the Heavenly Demon, who was said to have been suppressed by the Nine Great Ancient Sages, had reappeared in the world. Soon, they believed, a cataclysm comparable to the ancient times’ disasters would arrive, and no one would be able to escape unscathed!

Su Changkong and Jiang Yao returned to Skyfire City’s Heavenly Saint Mountain. Upon returning to Heavenly Saint Mountain, Su Changkong retreated to his Cave Mansion to cultivate in seclusion.

In the Floating Cloud Cave Mansion, Su Changkong sat in meditation, a bitter smile playing across his face: "This Monster Soul Mark continues to absorb my power, converting it into a demonic force, constantly affecting my body and even my Primordial Spirit, and this influence will grow stronger and stronger until I turn into a Demon Monster."

Originally, the Monster Soul Mark was meant to kill Su Changkong, but now it seemed to be merging with him, becoming a part of his body and transforming him into a Demon Monster!

Thinking back to Hong Zhenxiang, who had chosen to merge with the Demon Monster’s Crystal Core, Su Changkong recalled how Hong stepped irreversibly towards the abyss, ending with his soul scattered to the winds.

Hong Zhenxiang had only merged with a Demon Monster’s Crystal Core, a transformation spurned by a portion of a Demon Monster’s power, while Su Changkong’s Monster Soul Mark came from a Demon Monster King, and was activated by an ancient Heavenly Demon, changing its nature to transform Su Changkong into a Demon Monster. The predicament he now faced was a thousand times, a million times more difficult than what Hong Zhenxiang had encountered!

During this time, Su Changkong could feel the Monster Soul Mark constantly altering his constitution, affecting his Primordial Spirit, and his way of thinking, frequently inciting him to wreak destruction and slaughter, a feeling that was becoming increasingly intense. It was an irreversible situation.

Su Changkong could only endure and restrain himself in silence, hoping that the Jiang Family truly had a way to resolve his dilemma.

However, judging from the sigh and a hint of hostility shown by Jiang Shoudao, a Martial Artist with Great Divine Power, he clearly felt that the Jiang Family probably didn’t have much of a solution. At most, they could delay Su Changkong’s transformation into a Demon Monster a bit longer, but changing the ultimate outcome would be difficult.

The demonic whispers echoing in his mind, along with the restless Monster Soul Mark, subjected Su Changkong to constant torment, making it difficult for him to concentrate and even practice his cultivation.

And Su Changkong could clearly feel his body undergoing changes, gradually transforming towards a Demon Monster, enduring tremendous agony!

Name: Su Changkong (44 years old)

"Hmm? My lifespan... it’s increased!"

Yet Su Changkong discovered something surprising: in his attribute panel, both his lifespan and potential had increased!
