My Beasts Grind Proficiency For Me

Chapter 340 - 201: Annihilation Net

Yellow Foot cupped his chubby face with both hands, his dark, round eyes curiously sizing up the shimmering gold Demon-Catching Tripod.

Even though he had just eaten a lot of the meat soup and Spirit Rice cooked by his senior brother Iron Head for lunch, his stomach was already empty again. Yellow Foot rubbed his soft, white, paunchy belly, wanting to sneak some snacks out of his Storage Bag to fill it. But seeing his master right in front of him, he didn’t dare, afraid his master would confiscate the Storage Bag.

This Storage Bag had been secretly given to him by the lady named Yang Jingxu.

His master said that getting too fat would stunt his growth and never allowed him to eat snacks.

Just as Yellow Foot was fretting, the shimmering gold tripod trembled, and its mouth began to spew out countless blood-red, grain-sized beads.

The Wanhua Child spat out all the Blood Pearls, which had been refined from Celestial Demons via Celestial Demon Blood Transformation.

Iron Head had a Storage Bag ready and collected all of the Blood Pearls inside.

Yellow Foot’s eyes went wide. He could clearly smell pure Blood Qi coming from the Blood Pearls.

He leaped up with a speed that didn’t match his physique, snatched a handful of Blood Pearls with his chubby little hand, and stuffed them into his mouth with lightning speed.

The Blood Pearls melted the moment they entered his mouth, instantly erupting with incomparably pure Blood Qi.

Yellow Foot reached to grab more, only to find that the gushing stream of Blood Pearls had stopped. His master was crouching in front of him, staring.

"M-Master."

He lowered his chubby face, his little feet constantly kicking at the pebbles on the ground.

A large hand suddenly pressed down on Yellow Foot’s head.

"These Blood Pearls are ingredients for refining the Nine Revolutions Red Blood Pill," Yang Jing said, ruffling Yellow Foot’s hair. "If you’re hungry, wait until your senior brother Iron Head has refined them into pills, then go ask for one."

He had recently started giving Yellow Foot various Spirit Pills that he refined back during the Profound Carp Association. These Spirit Pills had the effect of improving a Demon’s innate qualities. Although the effect was minimal on a Demon like Yellow Foot, whose Talent was already superb, something was better than nothing.

However, eating other Spiritual Objects after taking these Spirit Pills could easily interfere with their medicinal effects.

That was why Yang Jing only allowed Yellow Foot to eat dishes prepared by Iron Head.

Iron Head possessed the Talent of Elixir Understanding, so the food he made wouldn’t interfere with the Spirit Pills’ effects.

At the thought of the Nine Revolutions Red Blood Pill, drool couldn’t help but pour from Yellow Foot’s mouth. His gluttonous behavior was just an external manifestation of his body’s craving for Blood Qi. In reality, he wolfed down any food without tasting it at all.

Under these circumstances, the Nine Revolutions Red Blood Pill, which provided a massive amount of Blood Qi, was naturally the most delicious delicacy in Yellow Foot’s eyes.

Yellow Foot’s eyes shone as he stared at the Demon-Catching Tripod. He never expected that the main ingredient for the Nine Revolutions Red Blood Pill actually came from this great tripod.

In his eyes, the Demon-Catching Tripod instantly became the greatest treasure in the world.

The Wanhua Child suddenly felt a chill. He pulled himself up over the tripod’s wall and climbed out of the Demon-Catching Tripod, only to find Yellow Foot staring at him, eyes wide and shining.

He knew his master, Yang Jing, valued these few disciples greatly, and that each of them held a higher status than him. So, he immediately gave Yellow Foot a fawning smile.

"Unexpectedly, it’s a Five Aggregates Demon," Yang Jing said to the Wanhua Child. "You haven’t refined this type of Demon before. Go ahead and refine it for yourself."

These words made the Wanhua Child ecstatic. He had thought he would be like a cormorant trained by mortals, unable to eat more than a few of the fish he caught.

He immediately activated the Pot World to refine the Five Aggregates Demon inside.

Inside the tripod, the Five Aggregates Demon was alarmed and uncertain. ’The Celestial Demon Blood Transformation Divine Light isn’t a Divine Technique that an ordinary Demon Cultivator can master. What is the background of that Human Race Cultivator?’

’Why, as a Demon Cultivator, is he slaughtering and hunting the Celestial Demons in the Demon Realm?’

’Doesn’t he know that such indiscriminate hunting and killing will lead to the demise of the Demon Realm that the Outer Realm worked so hard to establish on the Nine Heavens World Continent?’

But soon, the Five Aggregates Demon had no time to worry about the Demon Realm, because the world within this tripod was slowly but surely devouring it. Wisps of Demonic Qi were being pulled from its Demon Body and absorbed into this dark, bizarre world.

The Five Aggregates Demon wanted to resist, but it couldn’t even find an opponent to fight against.

How could it possibly fight against an entire world?

Half an hour later, the Five Aggregates Demon had completely vanished from within the Demon-Catching Tripod, and a new engraving of a Five Aggregates Demon appeared on the tripod’s body.

With the Talent of the Pot World, the Wanhua Child’s speed at refining Celestial Demons skyrocketed.

The Wanhua Child’s body trembled. After refining the Five Aggregates Demon, he felt that the Ten Thousand Transformations Demon Prohibition within the Demon-Catching Tripod had become more complete.

The Restriction in the old tripod had been shoddily made and was full of flaws; no matter how many Celestial Demons it refined, nothing changed. If not for the new tripod, even the Wanhua Child wouldn’t have known that refining a High Tier Celestial Demon could actually provide feedback to the Ten Thousand Transformations Demon Prohibition.

This made him feel even more grateful toward his master, Yang Jing.

The Wanhua Child immediately reported the changes in the Demon Prohibition to Yang Jing.

"It seems this Demon Prohibition isn’t simple. It must refine a sufficient number of High Tier Celestial Demons to reach Perfection. This is also why you haven’t been able to trigger the Spiritual Treasure Tribulation."

Yang Jing concluded that the Demon-Catching Tripod needed to refine a large number of High Tier Celestial Demons to truly advance in tier. ’No wonder the Four Demon Sects haven’t been able to refine another high-tier Demon-Catching Tripod in all these years.’

He even suspected that the collapse of the Western Demon Sect back then was due to the meddling of Celestial Demons. The Demon-Catching Tripod was simply too much of a taboo for the Outer Celestial Demons.

"Your opportunity to advance to a Tier Three Magical Treasure lies within this Demon Realm."

The Demon Realm in the outer seas had no shortage of Great Celestial Demons at the Golden Core Level. Although the Demon-Catching Tripod was extremely effective at suppressing Celestial Demons, it was still no match for a Great Celestial Demon.

Only in this particular Demon Realm, due to the rift, were most of the Celestial Demons merely at the Great Demon Level.

The Wanhua Child was fired up by Yang Jing’s encouragement, his fighting spirit soaring.

"Master, I’m ready!"

Yang Jing immediately ordered Iron Head to toss the Demon-Catching Tripod back into the Demon Realm, but in a different direction.

Although the number of Celestial Demons in the Demon Realm was nearly endless due to its connection to the Outer Realm, replenishing them still took time. The Celestial Demons had carved out their own territories within the Demon Realm and would only migrate over after discovering that the Celestial Demons in a previous territory had all vanished.

After landing in a new area, the Demon-Catching Tripod immediately released countless Spiritual Light Chains, capturing all the Celestial Demons there in one fell swoop and sealing them within the Pot World.

Yang Jing had Chi Yu, Ji Feng, and Yellow Foot return to the Seven Luminaries Demon-Slaying Array. Their Cultivation was still weak, only at the Qi Cultivation Realm. If they encountered a Great Demon at the Foundation Establishment Realm, he would have to split his focus to protect them.

The commotion this time was much greater than the last, and Yang Jing was worried they might attract a Celestial Demon even more terrifying than the Black Heaven True Demon.

"Yinjiao, go and capture a few Demons," Yang Jing said to his disciple Yinjiao.

The Demon-Catching Tripod’s efficiency at capturing Celestial Demons was simply too high. The range of its Spiritual Light Chains was nearly double that of the old tripod, like a dragnet that left nothing behind. The number of Celestial Demons it caught in a single hour was already equal to the previous half a month’s catch.

The Celestial Demons in the vicinity would soon be completely captured by him.

Outside the Demon Realm, winds were stirring and clouds were gathering. Spiritual Qi surged in like a tide, pushing the Heaven and Earth Embryonic Membrane steadily forward and compressing the Demon Realm’s space.

Yinjiao immediately sped away on his Cloud Escape. Empowered by the Flood Dragon Pearl, his Cloud Escape was extremely fast, even surpassing Yang Jing’s by a considerable margin. In an instant, only a blurry shadow of him could be seen.

"Iron Head, we need to heighten our alert. The Celestial Demons in the Demon Realm aren’t fools. If this continues, more High Tier Celestial Demons will certainly come."

Yang Jing sat cross-legged on a Meditation Cushion, placing the Celestial Waterfall Sword across his lap, ready to strike at any moment.

Iron Head also took out his Flying Thunder Demon-Slaying Spear, planted it in the ground, and gripped the shaft.

After the Low-level Celestial Demons in the area were wiped out, sure enough, two High Tier Celestial Demons arrived, leading a group of Yin Death Demons to investigate the situation.

Of the two High Tier Celestial Demons, one was a Moon Demon with a deer’s head on a human body, its skin pale and covered in wrinkles. The other was a Sun Demon with a bloated, ball-like figure, topped with a bird’s head.

"It seems the Celestial Demons in this Demon Realm have already established a command structure," Yang Jing said to Iron Head.

These two Celestial Demons were clearly playing the role of vanguards. The Sun Demon and Moon Demon had conflicting attributes and were mortal enemies who would usually fight to the death on sight. But now, the two Demons were coexisting peacefully instead of immediately attacking each other, obviously because they had been incorporated into the same command structure.

These Yin Death Demons were extremely sensitive to killing intent. The slightest hint of it would be detected by them, making them the best Celestial Demons for scouting.

"Iron Head, release your killing intent and draw the attention of those Yin Death Demons."

Yang Jing noticed that the Demon-Catching Tripod had already cunningly shrunk its body and hidden itself along the path the Sun Demon and Moon Demon were bound to take. He decided to have Iron Head lend it a hand.

Iron Head had exterminated many Demon Cultivators and Tribulation Cultivators, so his hands were naturally stained with the blood of many.

The killing intent he released immediately sent the Yin Death Demons into a panicked frenzy. One Yin Death Demon even accidentally bumped into the Moon Demon, which grabbed it by the neck, stuffed it into its mouth, and devoured it.

"Are you two from the Northern Army Governor’s Mansion?! Why have you invaded my territory? Have you forgotten the crushing defeat of the past?" the Moon Demon bellowed at Yang Jing while chewing.

Yang Jing remained silent. His heart stirred when he heard the Moon Demon mention "territory." ’These Celestial Demons really have established a command structure; otherwise, they wouldn’t have the concept of territory.’

The duty of the Demon Suppression Army in the outpost was only to observe the Demon Realm’s borders; they knew nothing about the changes among the Celestial Demons within it. Furthermore, the written records in the Northern Army Governor’s Mansion about the interior of the Demon Realm were pitifully scarce.

"You there, Daoist, are you deaf and mute?" the Sun Demon bellowed when he saw that Yang Jing wasn’t answering.

"I just don’t like talking to dead men," Yang Jing said, looking at the two arrogant Demons.

The next moment, chains of Spiritual Light suddenly shot out from the ground, binding the Sun Demon, the Moon Demon, and all the Yin Death Demons.
