Chapter 1071 Immortal Body! Demon Monster's Body! 2
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Su Changkong could only comfort himself like this."Whoosh!"
Su Changkong took a deep breath, activated the Turtle Breath Technique, and a Mysterious Tortoise Golden Core inside his body began to rotate. He tried to contain his scattered demonic power.
"Crack, crack, crack!"
Crunching sounds emanated from Su Changkong’s body, black scales on his skin exploded, transforming into black Monster Qi, and burrowed into his skin, into his muscles and bones. Su Changkong’s towering Demon Body quickly shrank back to its original, normal size.
"With the Turtle Breath Technique to hide my presence, I can maintain a normal human appearance and physique, but if a Martial Saint with detection abilities examines me a little, they’ll realize I am a human-shaped Demon Monster..."
Su Changkong moved his body a bit and quietly chuckled bitterly.
Although Su Changkong now appeared no different from ordinary people, to some extent, he was like a Demon Monster disguised as a human. Many Saint Warriors would likely be horrified and fearful upon sensing his aura, attracting other strong beings to eliminate the demon and uphold justice!
"Let’s go, leave here first."
Setting aside his worries, Su Changkong believed where there’s a will, there’s a way, and just took one step at a time.
Su Changkong stood up and walked toward the exit of Life-Death Valley, and as he had passed the trial of life and death, Life-Death Valley automatically opened.
The entire entrance of Life-Death Valley was shrouded in a hazy mist, making it unclear.
At this moment, outside Life-Death Valley, led by Jiang Shoudao, a group of Jiang Family’s strong beings, with their resolution, were all slightly anxious as they waited.
"Life-Death Valley has opened... did Elder Su fail or succeed?"
These Jiang Family strong beings noticed that Life-Death Valley had opened automatically but were unsure of Su Changkong’s exact situation as they continued to wait.
"This... he... really came out!"
Soon, including Jiang Shoudao, everyone could not suppress the amazement in their hearts and the shock on their faces, seeing a young man in black slowly emerging from the entrance of Life-Death Valley.
It was Su Changkong!
"This is really... a miracle!"
Jiang Shoudao’s expression was somewhat complex. He had reached the level of Great Divine Power and had entered Life-Death Valley before but had failed. However, Su Changkong had passed the trial of life and death without carrying a life-saving Jade Talism and had walked out, which surely indicated that Su Changkong’s potential was no less than his own.
"For a thousand years, aside from Holy Emperor Jiang, there has been another person who had survived the trial of life and death from Life-Death Valley!"
The Jiang Family’s strong beings looked at each other and were all inexplicably astonished. This Guest Elder of the Jiang Family was even more monstrous than anyone had imagined!
At this moment among the Jiang Family’s people, a middle-aged man’s eyes flashed with a dark light. He was startled, and his face soon showed vigilance and murderous intent as he shouted, "Be careful everyone... this is a Demon Monster!"
This middle-aged man possessed detection abilities and saw at a glance the destructive, dark demonic power hidden inside Su Changkong.
"A Demon Monster? Elder Su... didn’t make it!"
Prompted by the warning, others also sensed and investigated, each of them somewhat sighing.
They realized that Su Changkong in front of them was completely a human-shaped Demon Monster.
Jiang Shoudao also flashed a hint of regret deep in his eyes. Su Changkong had undergone the Demon Transformation Ceremony by a Divine Envoy, seeking a sliver of hope when he entered Life-Death Valley. But now, although he had lived and walked out from Life-Death Valley, he had transformed into a Demon Monster, which was not much different from being dead—he was completely another person!
"Forget it... let’s send him on his way."
Jiang Shoudao sighed, such an extraordinarily talented being could have had a limitless future, but like most, he had fallen before reaching his peak.
"Everyone, hold off on attacking! Although there’s something wrong with my body, I am actually okay and have not lost my true heart!"
Su Changkong, who walked out from the entrance of Life-Death Valley, sensed multiple presences probing him, and soon a wave of hostile gazes locked onto him. Su Changkong naturally knew the fundamental reason for this; he realized that he had been transformed into a Demon Monster. He immediately spoke up.
"If I had not died in Life-Death Valley and ended up being killed by Jiang Shoudao and others as a Demon Monster, that would have been a great injustice!"
"How can you prove it?"
No one believed him; someone coldly stated, still filled with hostility.
In their view, the Su Changkong before them had already become a Demon Monster. It was normal for him to pretend nothing was wrong in order to save his life.
"Everyone, please look!"
Su Changkong did not waste time with words; he wanted to prove to everyone that he was truly unharmed. Thus, he slightly moved his will, and his Primordial Soul left the Orifice within his Sea of Consciousness.
Humming noises filled the air!
The golden-colored Primordial Soul person was enveloped in a golden aura, hovering above Su Changkong’s head. As the golden aura surged, it emitted a divinity-like majesty!
"Is this… the Primordial Soul? Demon Monsters do not possess a Primordial Soul and cannot perform Primordial Soul Out of Orifice..."
This scene made the Jiang Family’s people look at each other, whispering through psychic transmission.
Demon Monsters were peculiar; they lacked a Primordial Soul and could not perform feats like Primordial Soul Out of Orifice.
The golden-colored Primordial Soul floating above Su Changkong’s head couldn’t be faked!
"His Primordial Soul… There’s not a single problem with it. It indeed is the Primordial Soul of a human Martial Saint..."
Some people closely observed Su Changkong’s Primordial Soul, able to discern that the golden-colored small person was blurry, but nearly a miniature version of Su Changkong himself, without a trace of demonic power!
"In Life-Death Valley, I survived a life-death calamity. Though my body was eroded into that of a Demon Monster, my Primordial Soul and Sea of Consciousness are completely unaffected. I am still me!"
Su Changkong spoke up to the crowd, explaining his current situation.
"A Demon Monster’s body, but a human’s soul, maintaining his self…"
People from the Jiang Family exchanged looks, surprised and intrigued; despite their vast knowledge, they had never seen or heard of such a condition.
"Elder Jiang Shoudao… What should we do?"
Someone inquired through psychic transmission.
Jiang Shoudao’s brows were tightly knitted. Demon Monsters and humans were two opposing camps, unable to coexist in peace.
The transformation of a human into a Demon Monster was, in fact, an extremely rare occurrence historically. And like Su Changkong’s case where his body was transformed but his soul remained unaffected, it was unprecedented, leaving Jiang Shoudao struggling to decide.
"I shall ask the Holy Emperor for guidance and let him make the final judgement."
Jiang Shoudao ultimately decided to report the matter. This region was within the territory of Holy Emperor State, and by using the Identity Token, he could transmit the message.
Jiang Shoudao took out the Identity Token and began to wait.
Su Changkong also heightened his vigilance secretly, knowing that if the Jiang Family decided to treat him as a Demon Monster, he would not sit idly by!
After a long while, Jiang Shoudao looked up at Su Changkong and slightly relaxed, his expression softening, "Elder Su, according to the Holy Emperor, the deciding factor between Demon Monster and human is not the body, but the soul. Since you have maintained your heart, you are still considered human. However, if you notice anything unusual about your condition in the future, you must inform us immediately."
Hearing this, Su Changkong also nodded slightly. The high-ranking members of the Jiang Family were not pedantic. Though Su Changkong’s current situation posed some risk, he could potentially become a top combat strength for the human side in the future. Holy Emperor Jiang had not decided to eradicate him completely to prevent future problems.
"What a relief… it is at least temporarily resolved."
Su Changkong felt slightly more relaxed, but he knew that this body of a Demon Monster might still harbor some hidden dangers; he must continue to improve, to face everything that might come in the future!
