Chapter 20

Suddenly, he saw that the faint glow emanating from his eyes changed from dark gold back to black.

He was stunned again.

Was it because of my practice just now?

Did I make a mistake in my training?

Could it be the legendary qi deviation?

Logan Brooks felt waves of unease and hurriedly searched through the materials.

But whether it was common books like "Chronicles of Shenzhou" or the Demon Sect’s own classics, there was never any mention of cultivating Heavenly Demon Blood causing one’s gaze to change from black to dark gold.

Did I really go astray in my training?

Logan Brooks thought for a moment, and the mysterious black pot’s personal data resurfaced in his mind.

This data displayed a person’s martial arts overview, especially flaws and weaknesses.

After finishing his practice earlier, he had planned to consult the data for reference.

Now that he might have made a mistake in his training, there should be some guidance here, right?

With this in mind, Logan Brooks checked his own data. When he looked at the martial arts section, the first line made him freeze again.

Logan Brooks, martial arts practiced:

Divine Demon Blood;

Divine Martial Demon Fist;

Myriad Phenomena Divine Art;

Tathagata Demon Palm;

Great Sun Heavenly King Formula;

Lunar True Scripture.

The last four were fine, just as they were the first time he checked.

But what was going on with the first two?

Last time he checked, it was clearly Heavenly Demon Blood and Great Heavenly Demon Hand.

Why did it change?

He had clearly been practicing according to the methods of Heavenly Demon Blood and Great Heavenly Demon Hand.

Logan Brooks felt uneasy and baffled.

He calmed himself and pondered.

Last time he checked, there was no problem.

This time, it changed.

The only possible reason in between was that he had just practiced once.

What was different about this practice compared to how the Demon Sect Leader used to train?

Was it because of me?

Or could it be...

A thought struck Logan Brooks.

Another difference was that the mysterious black pot’s body and lid had merged, and then fused with his own spirit.

Chapter 10: Young Heroes of the Martial World and the Villainous Demon King

Logan Brooks pondered as he focused his attention on the diagram of Divine Demon Blood.

When the diagram unfolded, there was a textual explanation.

Divine Demon Blood, beginner level.

Cultivation emphasizes fierce and violent energy, which is somewhat biased...

After reading this, Logan Brooks was thoughtful.

He withdrew his mind from the Divine Demon Blood diagram and looked at the diagram for Divine Martial Demon Fist.

Divine Martial Demon Fist, beginner level.

Only mastered the "Chiyou" form, reached minor achievement, the nine strengths have yet to be integrated...

Seeing this, Logan Brooks's eyes lit up.

The Great Heavenly Demon Hand consists of nine moves in total.

Could it be that the so-called "Chiyou" form is the origin, split and transformed into the nine ultimate moves?

From this perspective, the power of Divine Martial Demon Fist far surpasses that of the Great Heavenly Demon Hand.

Logan Brooks recalled the first time he checked his own data.

At that time, it was still Heavenly Demon Blood and Great Heavenly Demon Hand.

Both were rated as having reached major achievement, but not perfection.

Now, with Divine Demon Blood and Divine Martial Demon Fist, the evaluation had dropped to beginner level.

This further confirmed his earlier speculation.

The current question was how he should proceed with his cultivation.

If he continued to follow the original path of Heavenly Demon Blood and Great Heavenly Demon Hand, could he still make progress?

Logan Brooks thought of the description of the Demon Sect in "Chronicles of Shenzhou," and also recalled the sect rules he had previously ordered Dragon Claw Eleven to recite.

The Demon Sect, which rules over the Southern Wasteland Demon Domain, is formally known as the Ancient God Sect.

Legend has it that it is not a native tradition of Shenzhou, but originated from beyond the heavens, crossed the sea like a fierce dragon, and took root here.

The sect’s supreme divine art is called Heavenly Demon Blood.

But the Ancient God Sect does not worship demons or evil spirits, but various ancient deities.

Foremost among them are the three great gods of legend from the dawn of creation, the ancestors of humanity: Pangu, Fuxi, and Nuwa.

Others include the likes of Huangtian, Houtu, Xuanming, Zhurong, Gonggong, and so on.

Chiyou is also one of them.

People nowadays habitually refer to them as the ancient gods and demons.

Here, "gods and demons" carries no negative connotation, but rather reveres nature, without distinction between good and evil—a neutral term collectively referring to the mighty beings of ancient times.

Logan Brooks pondered deeply.

Divine Demon Blood and Divine Martial Demon Fist—their principles and essence clearly align more with the Ancient God Sect’s doctrine, both stemming from the same source.

Whereas Heavenly Demon Blood and Great Heavenly Demon Hand seem to be incomplete versions derived from the former.

His current transformation was more like returning to the origin, restoring the divine art to its original, complete form.

The cause of all this was that mysterious black pot.

His future cultivation should also depend on it.

Logan Brooks made a new attempt.

He focused his mind to communicate with the black pot.

At the same time, he practiced Heavenly Demon Blood.

Sure enough, the glow in his eyes changed from black to dark gold once again.

At the same time, on the surface of the black pot in his mind, dark golden runes appeared!

As he observed these runes, Logan Brooks gained new insight.

Divine Demon Blood!

Divine Martial Demon Fist!

He let out a sigh of relief.

Then felt delighted.

With just Heavenly Demon Blood and Great Heavenly Demon Hand, the Demon Sect leaders of past generations could dominate the land of Shenzhou.

Now that he possessed the even stronger Divine Demon Blood and Divine Martial Demon Fist, his foundation was even more solid.
