The Supreme God of Martial Arts

But he wasn't willing to give away the Ten-avatar Skill voluntarily to Austin.

"Huh?"

Austin threatened with a cold hum.

The demon lord trembled in fear. It just hit him that he was now under the complete control of the demon imperator standing right

before him.

If he couldn't boot-lick the demon imperator, his life would be on the line.

So, to save his life, the demon lord was finally forced to tell Austin how to practice the Ten-avatar Skill.

But on learning what the skill involved, Austin wasn't very impressed.

Honing the particular skills that he was interested in required one to have the demonic energy first.

As a human cultivator, Austin only had the vital energy in his body. How could he practice the demonic skill without demonic

energy?

"Alas! | have been sleeping for all these years. Now, | only have the bones and an incomplete demonic spiritual soul. Where can |

find the demonic energy required to practice the skill?"

Austin pretended to be upset, and calculated every word he said, to pry out more helpful information.

"Your Majesty!

It looks like you got your demonic spiritual soul seriously hurt.

Every one of the demon race is a product of hard work and discipline in the cultivation of various skills within their realm of power.

As long as your bones are still there, it is very easy for you to cultivate the demonic energy.

It's so easy that you just have to absorb the demonic energy you meet.

Your Majesty, you just absorbed my body, so you already have my demonic energy in your body right now,"

said the demon lord.

But he sounded very upset while he talked about this.

Now he deeply regretted his earlier decisions.

Had he known that there was a demon imperator inside the human boy, he would never have used the Body Invading Skill. It was

surely a suicidal decision.

Now he was having a taste of his own medicine.

The demonic body that he had been cultivating for over centuries becthe demon imperator's body all of a sudden.

"What? Are you saying that | already have demonic energy in my body as we speak?"

Austin couldn't wait to confirm using his spiritual sense.

Right away, he did a quick check on his body.

In a few moments of the scan, his face took on a weird look.

Between his own bones, he discovered a mysterious black energy substance with a

foul and dark aura.

No doubt, this was the demonic energy that

the demons cultivated as their equivalent of the vital energy of the human cultivators.

Both were derived from nature.

But just as the demon lord said, his spiritual soul had a special strong aura, far beyond the norm, even among fellow demons.

In Austin's case, the energy was even more spectacular, as the demon imperator that had broken into his Soul Sea was absorbed

by the spiritual tree within, leaving only the aura of the demon.

That meant Austin's body was now partly of demonic essence.

In short, he was half a demon right now!

His memory flashed back to the day he went to the ruins of the Oracle Sect, where mistaken identity worked to his advantage

when the demon king also took him for a demon imperator called Tybalt.

Now, when he realized this demon lord had also mistaken him for a demon imperator, it left him amused.

"So you mean that | already have the demonic energy in my body and | can practice the Ten-avatar Skill without a problem?"

Austin asked the demon lord. He just had to make sure. His tone was stone cold, threatening.

"Yes, Your Majesty. You can practice the Ten-avatar Skill freely now,"

the demon lord answered, dejection showing in his voice.

The Ten-avatar Skill was a powerful skill he cherished deeply. He never would have expected that one day it would be given away

so easily to someone else.

But he also knew that it was not up to him if he could keep the skill or not. He had no other choice but give the skill to Austin if he

wanted to be alive.

"If | want more evil aura, | can just use the Body Invading Skill to absorb it from other demons, right?"

Austin pressed further.

"Your Majesty!"

The demon lord sounded both surprised and frightened.

Even among the demon race, absorbing other demons’ evil aura was deeply frowned upon. No demon would fancy doing that.

If anything, it would only make you a target.

"Just tell me!"

Austin demanded in a stone-cold tone.

To prove he wasn't joking, he unleashed just enough power from his spiritual tree to cut into the demon lord's body.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! Trust me, | will tell you the whole truth!"

The demon lord was hurt deeply by the cut and desperately begged for forgiveness.

Under coercion, he revealed everything to Austin, including how to use the Body Invading Skill.

'Hahaha!'

Austin couldn't hide his amusement.

When he first learned of the bone marrow of a demon imperator in his body, he was very upset.

For the life of him, he couldn't understand how that would benefit him at all.

But now, he knew better. It meant he could cultivate at the realm of demons and hone various skills at that level. By any

standards, such an advantage was enviable.

Better still, he had both the bone of a human and that of a demon imperator.

The human bones allowed him to cultivate the vital energy.

While the skeleton of a demon allowed him to cultivate the demonic energy.

All in all, the demon imperator's bones opened a brand new way of cultivation for him and it couldn't be better.

Right now, he didn't give a hoot the revulsion people had toward demonic energy and the negative tag of darkness that went with

it.

As long as he could gain more power, Austin didn't mind what kind of forces he was using.

All that mattered was keeping it true to himself. As long as he focused on his original goals, it would make no difference whatever

powers he used.

"All right. | will practice the Ten-avatar Skill first!"

Right now, he possessed as much energy as that of a demon lord. It was probably enough for him to practice the Ten-avatar Skill.

As for the demon lord in his Soul Sea, Austin didn't have the tto deal with him now.

So he used twenty Spiritual Sense Flying Spears and a spiritual demon to trap him in a corner.

He knew that his spiritual sense was strong enough to keep this demon lord hostage in his Soul Sea for the tbeing.

He only needed a small part of his spiritual sense to watch over the poor, trapped fellow.

Sitting with his legs crossed in the secret room, he

took out ten thousand divine vital energy crystals and put them in front of him. Then he let out the spiritual tree and let it absorb

power from the crystals.

The speed of absorption rate of the tree was way faster than before, a clear sign that his spiritual sense had tremendously grown.

In all, it took only about half a day for the spiritual tree to suck out all the ten thousand crystals.

The fight in Glint City before had sapped much of Austin's spiritual sense. Thankfully, he had now made up for all the lost power

and even gained more.

Straightaway, he got to work and practiced, paying close attention to his progress.

Of course he had to use the demonic energy when he was practicing the skill of the demon race. So Austin tried to control the

demonic energy in his bones.

After several cautious attempts, he was excited to finally gain his footing to control his new-found energy whichever way he

wished.

The better part of the afternoon, he fully gave himself to the exercise.

When he stopped at long last, he stood up and walked around in the secret room.

His body was emitting fitful bursts of an evil aura that gradually filled the place.
