Chapter 1 Demon-Suppressing Death Prison, Max Level Comprehension!
Bang!
The heavy profound iron gate was slammed shut, shaking loose countless dust particles from the ceiling of the passage.
"Lin Yuan, having offended the Saint Senior Brother, this Demon Suppressing Death Prison is your final destination. For the sake of our shared sect, keep these few Fasting Pills; they should last you until the Evil Qi here sucks you dry and turns you into a withered corpse, hahaha..."
From outside the door came the unrestrained laughter of two Law Enforcement Hall Disciples as their footsteps gradually faded into the distance.
Dead silence.
Extreme, absolute silence.
Lin Yuan slumped onto the bone-chilling stone floor, a needle-like pain radiating through his Meridians. He gave a bitter laugh and wiped the dark blood from the corner of his mouth.
It had been three days since he transmigrated to this Xuanhuan world known as the Shenhuang Continent.
The original owner of this body was an Outer Sect Disciple of the Taixuan Dao Sect who cultivated diligently. Simply because he accidentally stumbled upon the secret meeting between the Saint and a demonic sect enchantress, the Saint crippled his Dantian with a casual palm strike. He was even framed for the crime of "colluding with the Demon Race" and exiled to this dark Demon Suppressing Death Prison.
This place was an absolute Forbidden Ground of the Taixuan Dao Sect.
Shrouded in darkness year-round, the nine netherworld malevolent qi surging underground was something even Elder-level experts dared not touch lightly. Not a single prisoner or guard thrown in here had ever lived past three years.
"Cough, cough..."
Lin Yuan coughed violently, feeling the thick, black Evil Qi drilling into his body through his damaged Meridians like venomous snakes. Having lost his cultivation, his body was even weaker than a Mortal's, making it impossible to resist the erosion of the Evil Qi.
His vision gradually blurred, and his body temperature dropped rapidly.
"Am I going to die right after transmigrating..."
Just as Lin Yuan was on the verge of despair.
Suddenly, from the deepest part of the death prison, came the faint sound of clinking iron chains.
Clang—
Along with the sound, an icy aura a thousand times more terrifying than the surrounding Evil Qi spread out. Lin Yuan struggled to lift his head, and through the dim light of the Everlasting Lamp, he finally saw the "existence" truly imprisoned in this death prison.
It was a woman suspended in mid-air, bound by nine Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Iron Chains as thick as thighs.
Three thousand strands of black hair fell like a waterfall, veiling most of her face, yet the peerless silhouette of her world-toppling beauty was still faintly visible. Her tattered blood-red dress fluttered in the wind. Even while suppressed here, the terrifying demonic prestige she exuded—looking down upon the world and treating all things as mere straw dogs—was still heart-shaking.
The number one taboo of the Taixuan Dao Sect—the peerless witch who slaughtered through the ten righteous sects three hundred years ago, Jinyue!
At this moment, the witch seemed to be asleep, but with her faint breathing, the violent nine netherworld malevolent qi actually transformed into wisps of black dragons, entering her body through her nose and mouth in an extremely rhythmic manner.
With every breath, the Demon-Suppressing Runes on those nine profound iron chains would erupt with a blinding spiritual light, frantically suppressing her power.
Lin Yuan subconsciously stared at the rhythm of the witch's breathing.
That rhythm seemed to contain some profound truth of the Great Dao, mysterious beyond measure.
At that moment, a crisp mechanical voice boomed in his mind!
[Ding! Detecting host's current environment, [Max-Level Comprehension] has been activated!]
[You have carefully observed the peerless witch inhaling and exhaling the nine netherworld malevolent qi, gaining insight into the principles of demonic qi circulation. You have had an Epiphany!]
[Congratulations, Host, for comprehending the supreme Demonic Technique—"Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art"!]
Boom—!
In an instant, countless obscure and profound memories of the Cultivation Technique flooded into Lin Yuan's mind like a divine revelation. This technique could not only swallow all the qi in the world but also convert all negative energy—poisonous gas, Evil Qi, and Death Qi—into the purest Origin spiritual power!
"This is my Golden Finger?"
A startling light erupted in Lin Yuan's eyes. Feeling the nine netherworld malevolent qi raging even more fiercely within him, he did not hesitate for a second and immediately began to circulate his broken Meridians according to the path of the "Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art."
Before, this Evil Qi was a life-ending poison.
But under the overbearing circulation of the "Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art," the originally violent black Evil Qi instantly became incredibly docile, converging toward his shattered Dantian like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.
Crack—
As if breaking some sort of shackle, his Dantian, which had been shattered by the Saint's palm strike, actually began to rapidly reorganize and expand under the nourishment of the pure spiritual power!
First level of Body Refining!
Third level of Body Refining!
Seventh level of Body Refining!
...
In just half an hour, Lin Yuan had not only restored his original cultivation but even broke through the limits of the Body Refining Realm with unstoppable force, stepping into the Qi Gathering Realm!
Even more terrifyingly, his Dantian was no longer an ordinary spiritual sea, but a deep and horrifying black vortex, as if it could swallow everything.
Phew...
Lin Yuan slowly exhaled a mouthful of black turbid qi and snapped his eyes open, a terrifying glint flashing in his deep pupils.
The nine netherworld malevolent qi around him, which was enough to kill an ordinary Disciple, now appeared to him as nothing but supreme tonic pills!
"What a Saint, what a Taixuan Dao Sect."
Lin Yuan stood up, clenched his powerful fists, and a cold arc curled at the corner of his mouth. "Crippling my cultivation and throwing me into the death prison? Then I will stay in this prison and suck dry the ten thousand years of foundation you have suppressed here!"
He turned his head and looked again at the peerless witch chained in mid-air.
His previous fear had vanished completely.
In his eyes, the witch was now a glowing, treasure-filled human-shaped experience pack!
He wondered what other Heaven-Defying supreme skills he could comprehend if he kept watching her?
As if sensing Lin Yuan's "unrestrained" and burning gaze.
In mid-air, the long-slumbering peerless witch's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Those eyes were like a surging sea of blood, bone-chillingly cold.
"Ant, look again, and this seat will gouge out your eyes."
A raspy and cold voice echoed through the death prison.
