Chapter 289: Chapter 289
The majesty was vast, as if a Heavenly God had descended to the mortal world.
if the Yellow Wind Sect Master knew, he would certainly be shocked speechless.
The Netherworld Demon Body, a prestigious Inheritance Skill of the Yellow Wind Sect, already had a history of several hundred years.
Ever since the moment they acquired this powerful Body Refinement technique, successive Yellow Wind Sect Masters, apart from the necessary eating, drinking, and relieving themselves, dedicated all their time to this potent practice.
There were some with astonishing talents who even thought of using household electricity for cultivation.
But they all ended in failure!
There was only one reason.
Even though household electricity lacks the wild and fierce power of thunder, with an intense eruptive force,
it wins by having a relentless persistence, like an endless ocean.
Once it sticks to you, if you don’t die, you’ll be gravely injured.
It was exactly because of this,
that the Yellow Wind Sect Master, after racking his brains, finally came up with a "clever" method.
Using a lightning rod, they would draw electricity from the Heaven and Earth Thunder during rainy days.
By doing this, although there were risks, they were greatly reduced.
Heaven and Earth Thunder, unlike household electricity, didn’t have a sustained force, as long as you could withstand the initial attack, and turn off the lightning rod before the second bolt of thunder struck, you could then circulate the Netherworld Demon Body to refine and assimilate the electricity within your body.
it cost only time, but it was safer.
If one persevered over time, using time to accumulate, and with the aid of some heavenly treasures, one could cultivate the Netherworld Demon Body to the Ninth Layer of Great Perfection.
Zhang Xiaohao was ignorant of all this, as he had picked up the Netherworld Demon Body from the corpse of the Yellow Wind Sect Master.
Naturally, no one had told him about these things.
From the moment Zhang Xiaohao had pulled out two red wires and jabbed them into himself,
it seemed a long time, but in fact, only a few seconds had passed.
Even in those few seconds, Zhang Xiaohao had endured an unimaginable, non-human torture.
"Activate the Netherworld Demon Body!" Zhang Xiaohao growled with a cold face.
He bore the excruciating pain that seemed to tear his skin apart and forcefully circulated the first layer technique of the Netherworld Demon Body.
Crackle, crackle, crackle...
As he cultivated, the two clay-yellow Elixirs he had swallowed earlier,
began to work at this moment, protecting Zhang Xiaohao’s heart and other vital areas.
Letting the wild silver-white sparks roam freely across his body,
the clothes on his body, including the underwear, were pulverized under the traversal of these sparks.
silver-white sparks, under Zhang Xiaohao’s control,
were following the circulation method of the first layer of the Netherworld Demon Body, refining his flesh, tendons, and bones from inside out and outside in, over and over...
the first layer of the Netherworld Demon Body, under the endless stimulation of high-voltage electricity, was advancing at a swift pace.
While the current was being continuously output, in the Heavenly Life Villa District,
a sudden power outage occurred in one of the houses.
No sooner had this phenomenon appeared that it became unstoppable.
In less than ten minutes,
the entire Heavenly Life Villa District was without electricity in that moment.
Luckily, it was late at night, and most people in their villas had gone to bed.
this group of wealthy individuals certainly would not take it lying down, and their pressing phone calls would have already reached the property management.
In the surveillance room of the district,
the two aunties who were initially slacking off by sleeping were awoken by a series of crackling sounds in the room.
Right after they opened their eyes, the whole room was plunged into darkness.
The two looked at each other,
quickly turned on their flashlights, and switched on the emergency power.
Only to find, the emergency power was not working either.
Picking up the walkie-talkie, he immediately notified the patrolling security guards of the area about the incident.
The security guards didn’t dare to delay, as a power outage in a luxury villa like Heavenly Life Villa was no small matter.
A group of four, they immediately drove the patrol car towards the electrical room.
They were only two miles away when they saw it.
At the electrical room, silver-white electric light was jumping around, like the reincarnation of the god of thunder, extraordinarily conspicuous in the pitch-black night.
"Quick! Notify the team leader immediately, something’s happened at the electrical room!"
"What the hell are you standing there for? Call for help, now!"
The four security guards hastily shouted.
One by one, they were calling on their phones and summoning help through the walkie-talkies.
"Hmm? Someone’s coming?" Zhang Xiaohao furrowed his brow.
His Soul Power sensed the four security guards entering his line of sight, reluctantly taking one last look at the electrical room.
As they drew closer and closer,
Zhang Xiaohao had no choice but to stop cultivating the Netherworld Demon Body.
With a flick of his wrist, he pulled out the two thick red cables and with a light step, he disappeared into the night after a few flashes.
Very quickly! ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✦𝓷𝓮𝓽
The four security guards had already arrived at the electrical room.
Looking around at the messy flowers and plants, and at the open electrical room with two red wires exposed outside,
Everything showed that,
something unimaginable had just happened here.
Recalling the scene the four had witnessed from two miles away,
a gust of night wind blew.
"Ghosts!" Not knowing who, one of the faint-hearted guys shouted and started running, the other three not wanting to be outdone, also took to their heels.
About five minutes later,
under the leadership of a deputy team leader, a group of more than a dozen security guards arrived, holding iron-rubber clubs and carrying powerful flashlights, looking fierce and aggressive.
it was around three in the morning.
Smelling the sweat and the black impurities on his body,
Zhang Xiaohao touched his nose and gave a wry smile, going into the bathroom to take a warm shower.
Zhang Xiaohao sat on the bed, deep in thought.
Through the brief period of cultivation, he had not completed the first layer of the Netherworld Demon Body,
but had made progress by one-seventh. With a few more attempts, he would be able to use the endless high-voltage electricity to complete the first layer of the Netherworld Demon Body.
His fist struck the air fiercely, producing a deep, explosive sound.
"Hmm, not bad, the strength of my physical body has increased a bit after that brief cultivation," Zhang Xiaohao murmured.
During the day, the aftereffects of using the Xingtian Battle Axe
seemed to have also been resolved by the high-voltage electricity, which was an unexpected joy.
"Could it be that cultivating this Netherworld Demon Body could solve the aftereffects from using the Xingtian Battle Axe?" Zhang Xiaohao speculated in his heart.
The more he thought about it,
the more Zhang Xiaohao felt that this bold speculation could very likely be true.
every time he used the Xingtian Battle Axe, though he could only use it once a day, and each use could last only sixty seconds,
it used the bloodline power within his body.
The Netherworld Demon Body primarily strengthens the physical body, making it more powerful.
If cultivated to a profound level, according to the records,
a single blade of grass could cut through the sun, moon, and stars, a single pebble could fill endless oceans.
Perhaps, it could indeed resolve the severe aftereffects of each usage of the Xingtian Battle Axe.
At that thought, Zhang Xiaohao’s eyes lit up.
he stopped thinking about it, kicked his small pet onto the floor, and drifted off to sleep.
