The Great Demon King Zhao Lie sensed something amiss. How did such a thing mix into his perfectly fine soul?
Unfortunately, Zhao Lie’s roar in Zhang Chen’s ears became a sound of joyful shouting. Zhang Chen smiled and said, "You creature are blessed with Creation. Having acquired my Wonderful Technique, becoming a Demon Beast with awakened intelligence in the future is only natural."
Upon hearing Zhang Chen’s words, Zhao Lie was furious and cursed continuously, roaring like a tiger, "Who wants your Creation? I’ve already awakened intelligence and become a Demon Beast long ago," but sadly, that tiger roar turned into a tender whimper, nearly melting Zhang Chen’s heart.
"What is the mystery of this Forbidden Word Technique?" The Great Freedom Celestial Demon looked on from the side but never detected anything unusual.
Zhang Chen heard this and smiled confidently, then a light flickered in his hand, revealing an inexplicable symbol: "Under my Forbidden Word Technique, no matter what existence this demon transforms into in the future, as long as I use my Divine Techniques, I can revert it to its original form under my control."
"Such Divine Techniques are truly indescribable." The Great Freedom Celestial Demon praised.
Zhang Chen, hearing this, smiled proudly: "This is merely a trivial function of the Tathagata’s Original Vow Curse. Unfortunately, my cultivation is shallow and I am not adept in the Buddhist Technique, so I cannot unleash the full power of the Tathagata’s Original Vow Curse. If I want to explore more of the Six-Word Mantra’s power, I might need to seek out Buddhist scriptures to comprehend the various mysteries of the Six-Word Mantra."
The Great Freedom Celestial Demon looked on eagerly but said nothing more, instead turning his eyes towards Zhao Lie with a peculiar look in his eyes.
The Demon King Zhao Lie felt despair and anger in his heart, especially after hearing Zhang Chen’s words, he became utterly desperate and furious. How did he, a dignified Great Demon King, end up in this situation?
He had been placed under a restriction and would be under someone’s control in the future? What a joke!
Unfortunately, Zhang Chen ignored Zhao Lie’s despair. Seeing Zhao Lie struggling in his hands, he happily reached out, took a Dragon Tendon from his pocket, infused it with magical power to lengthen it, and tied it around Zhao Lie’s neck, fastening him to a rock to prevent the little guy from running away.
The Dragon Tendon was incredibly resilient like ironstone, not something an ordinary wild beast could bite through. Besides, could a little wild cat actually bite through a True Dragon Tendon?
"This aura? Is this a Dragon Tendon?" Zhao Lie looked at the Dragon Tendon binding him, his eyes sparkled, and he was filled with disbelief. He hurriedly opened his small mouth to bite down on the Dragon Tendon. If he could devour this Dragon Tendon, he could establish a Supreme Foundation, allowing him to cleanse the marrow and invigorate his Qi Blood in his infancy.
’Crunch~’
The Dragon Tendon emitted a strong elastic force, causing Zhao Lie’s head to buzz, his entire body tingling.
"Damn it, what kind of situation is this! My strength is too weak. Even if there’s Supreme Creation right ahead, I still can’t obtain it." Zhao Lie drooled at the Dragon Tendon, then looked up at Zhang Chen:
"What’s this kid’s background? He even has a True Dragon’s Tendon? This guy is really uncanny! What bad luck, falling into the hands of this bastard."
The Demon King Zhao Lie lamented in his heart, looking at the crystalline Dragon Tendon so close yet out of reach, showing a helplessness in his eyes, and directly hugged the Dragon Tendon and began licking it.
Zhang Chen ignored Zhao Lie’s actions, instead pondering the Six-Word Mantra’s formula.
He became engrossed in his study until deep into the night. At this moment, Zhang Chen’s body twisted and transformed, seemingly about to take on a toad-like state. However, within his Spiritual World, the Six-Word Mantra trembled slightly, releasing infinite Buddhist light to protect Zhang Chen, unexpectedly reverting him from the toad form.
"The Six-Word Mantra can resist the power of curse?" Zhang Chen snapped back to reality and was overjoyed. Does this mean his curse is essentially broken?
"You’re thinking too much. As the Cursed Demon God’s power recovers, the power of curse within your body will grow stronger. Your Six-Word Mantra can only temporarily suppress the power of curse, not break it. You still need to find the Blessing Jade to break the Cursed Demon God’s methods. Otherwise, one day, when the Cursed Demon God’s power surpasses yours, your Six-Word Mantra will lose its effect, and you’ll turn back into a frog. Of course, unless you have absolute confidence that your power rises faster than the Cursed Demon God’s recovery, but is that possible?" The Great Freedom Celestial Demon dampened his hope.
Zhang Chen pondered: "If my Six-Word Mantra grows infinitely stronger, wouldn’t it indefinitely suppress the curse?"
"Theoretically, yes, but in reality, as the Cursed Demon God revives, his power will advance by leaps and bounds. Although your Six-Word Mantra is wondrous, how much power it can exert depends on your Qi Cultivation Technique’s progress. At your current rate, it won’t be longer than three to five months before the Cursed Demon God surpasses you."
"Either way, the matter of transforming into a toad is temporarily resolved," Zhang Chen said, sulkily, at least buying himself enough time for now.
"The Spiritual World seems mysterious. I’ll continue to explore it." Now with the Six-Word Mantra, Zhang Chen was very pleased and once again sat down, entering a Meditation Realm.
Meanwhile, at the Prince Pingbian’s Mansion, Mr. Wuliu and Gu Mingyue traveled all the way to a large mountain three hundred miles away from Zhang Chen. Mr. Wuliu pointed at the mountain below and said, "This mountain range is the Dragon Vein of my Prince Pingbian’s Mansion."
