A Demon's Journey

The Yin Devouring Demonic Technique was rather rare even in Purgatory. It possessed two parts.

A Demon could acquire Yin Energy through its first part by raping a human woman. This wasn't a rare ability. Many demons could do this even without this technique.

There was a second part to this technique. And suppose a demon possessed the second part of this technique. In that case, he could absorb a Yin Energy even from a live individual or from a technique and utilize it to recover his injuries or bolster his Ardor. In other words, an attack filled with Yin Energy would be useless against those possessing a complete manual of the Yin Devouring Demonic Technique. He would instead be healed by that attack!

Azaroth had searched for this Yin Devouring Demonic Technique and even found both parts after he reached the Demonic Emperor Rank.

However, only then did he realize that this Yin Devouring Demonic Technique was more or less useless for him.

Azaroth was trying to break through to the Demon God Rank at that time. To do that, he required a technique that could convert his body into a Devil God's Physique. However, this Yin Devouring Demonic Technique only worked till the Demon Emperor Rank.

This Yin Devouring Demonic Technique would be essentially useless for a Demon God. A Demon God couldn't use this technique to absorb the attack from a fellow Demon God.

However, this technique was extremely valuable for a Demon Emperor and those below this rank. They could utilize this technique to recover and bolster their energy. Using this Yin Energy, any kind of recovery was only possible if the demon held the second part of this technique.

If he tried to recover merely using the first part, he could face a cultivation deviation that would ruin all his recent efforts in cultivation. The injuries he would face would be devastating enough to take his life.

Thus, the second part of this Yin Devouring Demonic Technique was much more valuable than the first part!

When Azaroth saw that Demonic Ardor heading for Erica, he immediately spoke, "Create a Water Sphere around yourself using that Great Kun's ability."

Erica was confused to hear his order. She didn't immediately obey him and thought it would be better to try and dodge this attack. This sort of disobedience was considered acceptable by the Blood Contract she signed, so she didn't feel any pain.

She jumped to her right while keeping her eyes on that Demonic Energy. Azaroth nearly facepalmed when he saw her jump in that direction.

Another limb of pure Demonic Energy was approaching Erica from that direction, and it easily caught her body.

Erica's eyes widened as this limb of Demonic Energy grabbed and suddenly clenched her gut.

A strange sense of powerlessness washed over her. In reality, these limbs of Demonic Energy were absorbing the Yin Energy she possessed. These Demonic Energy limbs were also trying to destroy her mind and take over her body.

At that moment, the Great Kun within Erica's body acted. It took control of Erica's body and released a dense Water Elemental Sphere around Erica's body.

The Demonic Energy limbs dispersed after they came into contact with that dense water sphere. Erica coughed out a couple of times and stared at those Demonic Energy limbs with some terror evident in her eyes.

"That's why I told you to create a Water Sphere around you," Azaroth spoke while letting out a sigh as he stared at Erica. It seemed like he was looking at a rebellious child who wouldn't listen to his senior.

Azaroth then focused on those limbs of the Demonic Energy. He spoke with a serious voice, "Shoot them with your Crescent Slashes. That's the only way to deal with them."

This time Erica didn't dare to use her own brain and try something stupid. She did as she was ordered and shot multiple Crescent Sea Slashes at these limbs of the Demonic Energy.

The Demonic Energy was instantly dispersed upon coming in contact with those Crescent Sea Slashes. Azaroth stared at those four Black Lake Sect's disciples and used his Ardor to lift their bodies and place them out of the reach of these limbs of the Demonic Ardor.

Once he was done, he told Erica to get away from that region. Even more, Demonic Ardor was being released from the chasm.

If this went on, Erica would get tired. He required her assistance to do something else as well.

Erica willingly obeyed Azaroth's order as she backed away from that spot. She soon stood next to Azaroth and noticed that the Demonic Energy could no longer reach her.

Azaroth spoke, "That's the limit for this Demonic Energy. It can't touch us as long as we maintain a three-hundred-meter distance from it."

Erica was relieved to hear that statement and the Water Sphere around her vanished. Azaroth then told Erica, "Lend me your energy. I plan to create a barrier to prevent this Demonic Energy from leaking out of this chasm."

"You can do that?!" Erica was shocked to hear that statement. She was naturally willing to lend her energy if this was Azaroth's motive.

Azaroth nodded before turning his gaze at the demonic energy ahead of him. He now understood the identity of this Demon Emperor and had already thought of a plan to deal with him.

He first needed to prevent this Demon Emperor from acting up shortly. Also, this barrier would prevent anyone else from interacting with this Demon Emperor without Azaroth's knowledge.

Erica's energy soon filled Azaroth's body. It wasn't very difficult for him to control Erica's energy. His own Triquetra Ardor was incredibly dense, and Erica's Ardor was only a bit denser than it.

Furthermore, Azaroth's Spirit still possessed enough expertise with King Ranked Ardor to perform flawlessly. Although there was a significant gap in energy between a Demon King and a 6 Star Warrior, Azaroth could easily improvise that much on his own.

Erica and even the Great Kun within her were startled to see how effortlessly Azaroth was using her Ardor. He didn't make a single mistake from the beginning of the process.

Moreover, a gigantic array was being created right ahead of their very eyes. The Great Kun recognized this array and spoke out, "It's the Eternal Moonlit Radiance Barrier!"

It was a self-empowering barrier that would recharge itself with the moonlight during the nighttime. It required a recharge once a month. This requirement was extremely easy to fulfill. As a result, it was regarded as an eternal barrier.

This array was considered extremely complicated and had been lost over time. The last time it was seen was during the Ancient Era.

The Great Kun Race had continued to pass down knowledge of that Ancient Era through its bloodline. Thus, the Great Kun could easily recognize this Barrier at a glance.

Erica had no idea what this Eternal Moonlit Radiance Barrier was, but she believed it was quite extraordinary from the name.

She saw Azaroth lay out this Barrier ahead of her eyes. The Demonic Energy was forcefully locked within that chasm. The barrier was strong enough to block that Demonic Energy.

Even if the Demon Emperor tried his best, he could forget about getting out of that chasm any time soon.

"Remain here and empower this barrier until midnight," Azaroth ordered Erica while he turned around and planned to return. This was another reason he had brought Erica here.

Even Azaroth could deal with those limbs of the Demonic Energy. However, he couldn't create this Eternal Moonlit Radiance Barrier with his own energy, nor could he empower it until nighttime.

It was necessary to empower this barrier till midnight because it would truly begin to work after it had absorbed the power of moonlight.

Erica's mouth was left agape as she heard that order. Before she could complain, Azaroth had left the area.

Erica didn't dare leave the area in fear of that Demonic Energy being released from that chasm.

She felt it would be best to do as Azaroth ordered. Meanwhile, the elders in the meeting were waiting for their Sect Mistress.

They wondered just what she was discussing with Azaroth that took so long. They began whispering among themselves as they felt that something suspicious was going on between Azaroth and Erica.. Maybe it was a secret deal between the two.
