My Beasts Grind Proficiency For Me-Chapter 52: The Real Trump Card

The Wu Family had once been a great clan within the Dark Spring Demon Sect, even producing a Nascent Soul Great Demon who struck fear into the hearts of the Six Great Sects.

But by the time it reached Wu Chunqiu’s generation, it had fallen into decline. After his father used a Star Demon to pass on the vague location and origin of a Pure-blooded Flood Dragon, he perished in the outside world.

The once-great Wu Family was left without a single Golden Core Cultivator to even hold up its facade.

Back then, Wu Chunqiu was only thirty years old and had just entered the Foundation Establishment Stage. All the power in the clan fell into the hands of his uncle, who was at Foundation Establishment Perfection.

Within the Dark Spring Demon Sect, selfishness and the law of the jungle reigned supreme. No one received special treatment just for past contributions to the sect. The Wu Clan suffered constant suppression, its influence devoured and encroached upon by other Golden Core Clans.

Wu Chunqiu’s uncle compromised with external forces, selling off the family’s assets on a massive scale, while internally, he was oppressive. He especially suppressed Wu Chunqiu, the son of the former patriarch, in every way imaginable.

Wu Chunqiu endured for over twenty years before he secretly killed his uncle’s favorite concubine, flayed her skin, and draped it over a Sinful Body Demon. He used the Sinful Body Demon to lure his uncle out of the ancestral lands, then ambushed and killed him.

He returned to the Wu Family holding his uncle’s head, threw it at the feet of several clan elders, and then executed two elders from his uncle’s faction on the spot before finally retaking control of the entire Wu Clan.

After retaking control of the Wu Family, Wu Chunqiu did not plot to reclaim their lost assets. Instead, he sold off the assets accumulated over a millennium to use as a stepping stone for his own advancement.

Relying on his high-level talent and comprehension, a vindictive personality that sought revenge for the smallest slight, and his ruthless, merciless methods, Wu Chunqiu successfully obtained the position of a True Disciple in the Dark Spring Demon Sect.

Naturally, some clan members objected during this time, but he eliminated them all with insidious and vicious methods. In a Demon Sect, one’s own clansmen were often the best resources for raising one’s Cultivation and practicing Demon Skills.

Just as Wu Chunqiu’s status in the Dark Spring Demon Sect was on the rise, he feigned going into death seclusion while secretly concealing his identity and traveling to the Chen Kingdom. He set his sights on the Wu Family that had relocated from San Yuanli. This Foundation Establishment Clan had few members, with only its patriarch, Wu Boyang, being a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

He used the Inconstant Illusionary Form Technique to disguise himself as a friend of Wu Boyang, lured him out of the clan’s territory, and then took his place.

Over the next two years, the cultivators of the Wu Family were secretly killed and replaced one by one, until the entire clan had been swapped out from top to bottom.

Wu Chunqiu went to such great lengths all for the Pure-blooded Flood Dragon hidden underground. This was because even in a Great Demon Sect like the Dark Spring Demon Sect, the probability of a True Disciple successfully achieving Core Formation was only thirty percent, and for some generations of True Disciples, it was less than twenty percent.

If he could obtain the Pure-blooded Flood Dragon and refine it into a Blood Flood Dragon using the Nine Yin Blood Evil Scripture, not only would his chances of successful Core Formation greatly increase, but he might even be able to reach Nascent Soul Formation with its help.

As long as he could succeed, it would be worth it even if he was the only one left alive in the Wu Family.

"I didn’t want to make such a big scene."

Wu Chunqiu said, raising a single finger.

The next moment, the Profound Black Celestial Star Array began to shake violently. The protective barrier covering all of Huashan County fluctuated for a moment before directly collapsing.

Then, nine Demon Banners rose up over the Spirit Vein nodes, converting the Spiritual Qi from the Spirit Vein into soaring Demonic Qi. These Demon Banners formed a massive Demon Array, replacing the Profound Black Celestial Star Array.

Under the control of the Demon Banners’ Restrictions, the terrifying Demonic Qi formed a giant Mixed Cave.

"The Three Corpses Bone Demon Formation!"

A look of utter despair appeared in Song Min’s eyes.

This was a famous Tier Two Array that used Demon Banners to draw upon the Spiritual Vein Qi and summon a Three Corpses Bone Demon from beyond the Nine Heavens.

The arrays of the Demon Sects were the complete opposite of those from the Righteous Dao.

The arrays of the Righteous Dao placed more importance on the terrain and the Spirit Vein, selecting a suitable Array Formation based on the flow of Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth, following the principles of Yin Yang Five Elements, the Three Talents, and the Eight Trigrams. Even for an extremely versatile array, its power would fluctuate depending on its compatibility with the terrain.

The arrays of the Demon Sects, however, focused more on the Magical Artifacts used in the Array Formation. They used Array Artifacts to forcibly absorb the Spiritual Qi and Evil Qi from the world to unleash the array’s effects. The requirements for the Array Dao Mastery of the person setting up the array were actually not that high.

The Three Corpses Bone Demon was considered tyrannical even among the many Outer Celestial Demons. It was exceptionally ferocious, and its white bones were tougher than Profound Gold. A strike from an ordinary Spiritual Artifact would only end up chipping its own blade. Its giant power was enough to rip a Foundation Establishment Great Demon apart with its bare hands, and its Tunneling Speed was so fast it was like a phantom.

Its greatest weakness was its lack of skill in Magic; it relied more on the Power of the Flesh. But for an ordinary cultivator, this was already terrifying enough.

This Three Corpses Bone Demon Formation was the Wu Family’s trump card. To prevent any accidents, Wu Chunqiu had brought it with him. As long as the Array Formation was completed, it would be enough to settle the matter once and for all.

The successive deaths of the Blood Evil Demon and the Shadow Demon had given him a sense of crisis.

A terrifying fluctuation emanated from the Mixed Cave. The next moment, a white bone hand emerged from it, followed by an arm, then a shoulder.

An entire Three Corpses Bone Demon, a full twenty feet tall, climbed out of the Mixed Cave. Its body was a mass of ghastly white bones, wreathed in a thick, ominous Death Qi. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Its body, which weighed thousands of pounds, landed on the ground, causing it to sink instantly. It looked up at Song Min in the air, its demonic glow terrifying to behold.

[Name]: Three Corpses Bone Demon (Outer Celestial Demon)

[Species Level]: Rare

[Power]: Great Demon

[Talent]: True Demon Bone (Legendary), Soul-devouring Demon Sound (Rare), Great Strength Bone Demon (Rare)

[Cultivation Technique]: None [Skill]: White Bone Grand Capture, White Bone Phosphorus Fire, Bone Demon Escape Technique

[Affinity]: -80

Unlike the Blood Evil Demon and the Shadow Demon, the Three Corpses Bone Demon had a physical body. Yang Jing hadn’t expected to be able to see its status panel.

After the Three Corpses Bone Demon crawled out, the Mixed Cave dissolved back into roiling Demonic Qi, wrapping around the demon’s body like a shroud. For a being with a physical body like the Three Corpses Bone Demon to enter the Nine Heavens World, the rejection from the Heaven and Earth Embryonic Membrane was far greater than for formless, intangible Celestial Demons that relied on a host.

The greatest function of the Three Corpses Bone Demon Formation was to bear the rejection of the Heaven and Earth Embryonic Membrane for the Bone Demon.

DONG! DONG! DONG!

The Demon Alarm Bell rang at an unprecedented frequency, sending shockwave after shockwave crashing into the Three Corpses Bone Demon.

The Three Corpses Bone Demon walked impatiently to the Bell Tower, smashed the once-impregnable structure into a pile of rubble with a single punch, picked up the Demon Alarm Bell from the debris, and kneaded it with both hands.

The Restrictions on the body of the sturdy Demon Alarm Bell lit up one by one, only to shatter under the giant power. The solid bell let out a mournful cry as it was slowly squeezed into a lump of scrap bronze.

The will to die was already written on Song Min’s face.

Her Flying Sword sensed its master’s will and began to tremble violently, letting out one sword hum after another.

"This affair has already spiraled out of control! The Six Great Sects will definitely investigate this thoroughly. You will never get the son of the Sovereign of Qishui Kingdom! I can die without regrets."

"You call *this* a big deal? It’s simple. What if I commit an even greater crime to overshadow it? For example, what if I raze Fuyuan Prefecture and turn its entire population into blood sacrifices? With a case as monumental as that, how many people would still pay attention to a tiny little place like San Yuanli?"

Wu Chunqiu laughed hysterically.

He suddenly turned his head and saw a Flying Boat appear on the horizon. Reinforcements from Fuyuan Prefecture had arrived.

"Run! Run! Get back and activate the Grand Array of Fuyuan Prefecture!"

Song Min shouted as she urged her Flying Sword to slash toward the Three Corpses Bone Demon, attempting to hold it back.
