Exiled Clan - 88 Demonic Core
“The first step for the cultivation of a demonic core is accumulating the wood demonic energy into the demonic heart!”
“But I would also need to keep the Marauder energy from fusing into the Yaksha demonic core!”
Rudra was in high spirits. Within him, the Ent apparition and the Yaksha demonic energy combined and produced a verdant green colored core with the apparition of an Ent on it.
The Yaksha Demonic Core was round, bright, and shiny. At the same time, there was a sense of indestructibility in the core. When it formed, it created such an impact that shook even heaven and earth. The demonic energy from it formed a small funnel and the auspicious energy transformed into a giant Ent apparition in the sky above the Green Boar Sect. Several different other transformations of the Ent then rapidly and repeatedly appeared.
“This is….”
The Green Boar Sect Sect Master almost pulled his beard off when he saw what happened. “Forming the Demonic Core?”
Every disciple in the Green Boar Sect was familiar with the process of forming the demonic core.
But what they couldn’t understand was that this demon who had killed many elders was not even in the Core Formation Stage!
Nearby, a white-beard old man saw this phenomenon and opened his mouth widely. “If this demon has formed the Core, doesn’t that mean that it is more powerful now, will it continue attacking us?”
Many of the disciples had the same question as to the old man.
They looked up and saw that the phenomenon was fading away. They could see a clear red sky but there was a feeling of dread.
What was happening?
A devil was forming a Demonic Core right in front of the Green Boar Sect.
The Sect Head of Green Boar Sect witnessed the phenomenon coming to an end. He gave a serious expression and stared at, Rudra. “This devil has very powerful energy and is likely to be strongly related to the ancient tree demons…”
“It’s just a Demonic Core, that’s all!”
Rudra was in a trance. After being aware of what was happening, he approached the Green Demonic Boar Array.
HOU!
The Green Demonic Boar Array looked at Rudra and let out a long cry before sweeping its gigantic body across.
It was huge like a mountainous ridge and the energy it dissipated seemed to have come from the earth. As it shook its tail, the entire physical Green Boar Sect came crashing towards Rudra.
Even an expert in the Nascent Soul Stage had to focus and be cautious when in such an intense situation.
However, Rudra yawned a few times and slowly stretched out his right hand.
BANG!
His right palm appeared normal and was similar to any other palms. When compared to the Green Demonic Boar Array, it was like an insect trying to stop an elephant.
Astonishingly, the next moment surprised many disciples. His right palm could counter such a destructive move completely!
Rudra was well aware that this array losing all the wooden essence supporting it was like a paper tiger to him, completely harmless. And it would only last for some minutes before getting destroyed.
Rudra sighed and grabbed the green fog coming from the Green Demonic Boar Array with his right hand, pulling it forcefully.
CRACK!
There was a snapping sound as though a rope was under tension before giving way.
The Green Demonic Boar let out a loud roar of displeasure and its body compressed towards Rudra. It was unable to control itself anymore.
At the same time, the wooden energy in the Green Boat Sect was dissipating.
“Is….is he cultivating the array?”
The Green Boar Sect, Sect Master was left in complete shock and could feel the impending destruction of the Green Boar Sect. His eyes became bloodshot. “We cannot allow him to destroy our sect’s foundations. Kill him!”
A red long sword appeared and flew straight at Rudra.
At that same moment, the elders, the deacons, and the disciples of the Green Boar Sect also executed their magical equipment, including flying blades, steel forks and axes, shields and flying ships…..these weapons were unique and filled the sky.
Rudra did not flinch a single bit as he encountered all these spiritual equipment.
The next moment, he was overwhelmed by these weapons like raindrops pelting on his leafy head.
CRACK!
The magical weapon of the Sect Head of Green Boar Sect was considered the most powerful among all. They were made by extreme forging a thigh bone of a powerful metal golem. The weapons formed were incredibly strong and could be used in several ways. It was a rare Earth grade Spiritual weapon.
However, as it came in contact with Rudra, it broke into two pieces! the cracked pieces then melted into the wooden body of the Ent.
With the weapon of his life broken, Sect Head of Green Boar Sect turned red and spat a mouthful of blood. “This is impossible…..has this demon’s body become indestructible to even to earth grade weapons?”
Ding!
Creak!
As the Sect Head of Green Boar Sect spat out blood, the rest of the weapons came falling down and disintegrated into a pile of sand as they landed on Rudra.
Even the sect head’s weapon was destroyed. How could the other equipment hold up? Some of the magical weapons were being recovered. Otherwise, they would follow in the Green Boar Sect, Sect Head’s footsteps, having their lifeline magical equipment destroyed, and all of them would cough up blood.
“Ha ha ha!”
Rudra laughed and blinked his eyes before breaking another two mortal grade swords.
Even with the overwhelming spiritual equipment, he was not hindered at all!
All these weapons served as proper fodder to feed the foundation disc below the Ancient Metal Terrapin which was almost filled with real weapons that were placed on pedestals on the disc. Rudra felt himself reach the middle stage of Foundation Building in the Desolate Metal energy cultivation.
“Some more of these earth grade weapons and my Metallic core would be the first one to be formed!”
…..
Rumble!
With Rudra constantly tugging at it, the Green Demonic Boar roared in anger. It slowly shrank in size and then dissipated into smokes!
As the last straw broke, the entire Green Boar Sect lost its demonic energy, ending up without any protection.
“Stop!”
Suddenly, a loud roar shook the ground and it revealed shocking demonic energy. Many of the low-leveled cultivators could not withstand it and unknowingly knelt down.
“I beg you to please spare my sect!” the Sect Head of the Green Boar Sect said kneeling in front of the Rudra was still in his Ent form.
Though after forming the Demonic Core he had broken through to the third stage of the Ent body, thus making his body look more terrifying than before.
“Weren’t you all keen on turning my body into demonic equipment!”
“No! Please forgive the ignorant youngling of my sect, if I had known about this matter o great demon I would have surely stopped them from committing such an act!” the green-robed old man implored, making excuses.
“You are fooling no one old man!” Rudra said as he observed the seal-like hidden spiritual weapon hidden in the cuffs of the sleeve, of the green robe worn by the old sect head.
A pointed lance-like tree trunk pierced through his body, instantly destroying his heart.
The Old Sect Head roared trying to use to move his nascent soul into the seal, but it was caught immediately after it left the head of the body. The poor man was not aware that Rudra could see the ethereal soul that was invisible to a normal pair of eyes.
Rudra effortlessly crushed the escaping nascent soul.
….
After a few days, shocking news spread across the whole demonic faction in the Tranquil forest.
The Green Boar Sect had been destroyed by a hostile demon with many elders of the Nascent Soul Stage and the Core formation stage dead.
The higher-ups ordered the demonic factions to not annoy the tree demon for now as their main enemies where the righteous sects that had already started sending men inside the Tranquil forest!
While Rudra silently started moving towards the next wood essence pool planning to steal all of them without alerting the higher-ups of the Demonic faction. Not attracting any unnecessary attention, after all, he didn’t want to be hunted by the Elders in tribulation stage to come after him.
“When the righteous faction strikes it would be the best time to raise both the Marauder and Yaksha Demonic energy.” Rudra planned to make use of the chaos to gain benefits in his demonic and immortal cultivation.
