As Li Chengfeng's will concentrated, the outline of the altar gradually became clear in the depths of his soul.
It was no longer a simple place for energy exchange, but a complex and precise system capable of accurately regulating and guiding the influx of external forces, while maintaining the stability and strength of Li Chengfeng's own soul.
After completing the construction of the main altar, Li Chengfeng did not stop.
He skillfully used the Book of Sin, this mysterious existence, to build a sub-altar on it.
This sub-altar echoed the main altar, forming a perfect energy circulation system.
Whenever the power of the Book of Sin was activated, it could instantly project onto Li Chengfeng through the sub-altar, directly transforming into a source of his own power without any intermediary or obstruction.
Li Chengfeng's creation undoubtedly made him, to some extent, his own "Evil God."
The altar and array he constructed not only allowed him to control the power of the Book of Destiny and the Fallen Copper Coin and other mysterious treasures.
It also endowed him with an unprecedented ability—to directly absorb and transform the power, and even the lifespan, of living beings through sacrifice.
When Li Chengfeng felt this power surging into his body, especially the increase of twenty years of lifespan, his eyes flashed with unprecedented brilliance, and a confident and cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He knew that with this altar array, he was almost invincible.
Whether it was cultivation or battle, he would have more abundant power and lifespan, without having to carefully seal the obtained lifespan for future use as he had done in the past.
He clenched his fists, feeling the transcendent power condensed in his palms, a kind of power and confidence that transcended ordinary people.
He sneered, "I have the inheritance of ancient demon power, and many magic weapons to protect me. Those who want to be my enemy are far from enough.
When I condense my natal magic weapon and step into the Profound Light Continent, that will be the time for my real rapid progress and rapid improvement in strength."
His laughter was filled with infinite yearning and lofty aspirations for the future.
Upon seeing this, the Fallen Child and Zhui Yun immediately prostrated themselves on the ground, congratulating him: "Congratulations, Master, on the great success of your divine skill! In the future, you will surely soar into the sky, leap over the dragon gate, and become the supreme banished immortal!"
Their voices were filled with admiration and loyalty to Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng smiled slightly, not saying much about their congratulations.
In this sudden change, Old Demon shrank his body and knelt on the ground without hesitation.
His face was full of flattery and awe as he said to Li Chengfeng: "Master, please remember me! Old Demon is willing to give everything to contribute a force to Master.
I am willing to become your spiritual pet, faithfully accompanying you. You see, this toad is just a burden, speaking without restraint and causing trouble everywhere. Why not let me replace it?
Every day, I will carry Master to travel around, becoming your most capable mount. For the future, I am willing to take a risk."
Upon seeing this, the Fallen Child couldn't help but burst into laughter, his voice full of mockery: "Old Demon, ah, Old Demon, you are really able to bend and stretch! A dignified mighty figure of the Tribulation Transcending Stage is actually willing to be someone else's mount!
This is really the biggest joke in the world, it's killing me! But, what you said makes some sense. We can now be considered fellow travelers.
This toad is indeed a burden. Letting you seize it would not be a bad idea."
Old Demon wanted to get angry, but upon hearing the Fallen Child's words, which seemed to be excusing him, he immediately turned his anger into joy and cupped his hands to thank him: "Thank you, Lord Fallen Child, for your understanding. Old Demon is grateful for your generous words."
This scene made the already terrified Toad even more frightened. It plopped to the ground, its limbs trembling, its whole body limp, and its eyes full of despair.
It finally realized that Li Chengfeng's strength was unfathomable, and everyone around him was an extraordinary existence.
Although it was currently insignificant, if it could follow such a master, it might really have a day to become a Toad Saint in the future.
But now, this Old Demon actually wanted to seize its body; life and death were only a thought away.
The Toad hurriedly cried out: "Master, I know I was wrong! I will definitely turn over a new leaf, be a new toad, study hard,
and become a Toad Saint in the future, preaching your teachings to the world and spreading your prestige!"
Its voice was tearful, full of pleading and regret.
Li Chengfeng smiled indifferently, not paying too much attention to Old Demon's excitement and gratitude.
He knew what a chance for rebirth meant to a powerhouse like Old Demon.
So, he gently patted the Book of Sin, pointing to a fiery red plum blossom on that page, and explained: "This Bed of Karma Fire, although weak at first, contains infinite potential.
If you, Old Demon, can control the fire spirit on it, you will surely regain your vigor and reach the peak again."
Upon hearing this, Old Demon was so excited that he almost fainted.
He knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, his voice trembling with gratitude: "Master's great kindness, Old Demon will never forget! I will definitely repay you with my life and live up to Master's kindness of recognizing me!"
Li Chengfeng nodded slightly and continued, "However, seizing this Bed of Karma Fire is not easy. There are many dangers, and a slight mistake may lead to annihilation.
Although I can help you a little, you still need to work hard yourself."
Upon hearing this, Old Demon's expression became solemn, but his eyes flashed with firm determination.
He solemnly said: "Master, rest assured, although Old Demon is not talented, I have a secret technique called 'Transplanting Flowers and Grafting Trees,'
which can graft my own soul spirit onto the flame, making it like my own body.
This method once saved me from danger and is the foundation of my life.
Now, I am willing to offer this secret technique to Master to show my loyalty.
At the same time, I also believe in Master's character and will definitely understand my difficulties at that time."
Li Chengfeng's eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation upon hearing this.
He knew that this "Transplanting Flowers and Grafting Trees" secret technique was extraordinary, and Old Demon's willingness to give it away so generously showed his sincerity and determination.
So, he nodded and said: "Good! Since you have this intention, I will accept it.
After I help you seize the Bed of Karma Fire, I will help you improve this secret technique and let you truly embark on the path to the peak."
Upon hearing this, Old Demon was moved to tears. He knew that he had finally found a master he could entrust his life to, a chance to be reborn.
He secretly vowed to cultivate well and live up to his master's expectations and love.
The Toad, the Fallen Child, Zhui Yun, and others looked at each other, admiring Li Chengfeng's methods and demeanor even more.
They knew that following such a master would be the wisest choice in their lives.
After receiving Li Chengfeng's permission, Old Demon unhesitatingly taught the secret technique of "Transplanting Flowers and Grafting Trees" to Li Chengfeng.
After receiving the secret technique, Li Chengfeng was shocked and amazed by the exquisite nature of this demonic technique.
He realized that this secret technique was not only powerful but also extremely secretive. It could parasitize in the bodies of others silently, gradually occupying a dominant position, which was truly difficult to guard against.
Then, Li Chengfeng flicked his finger, and a divine light shot out. The Bed of Karma Fire in the Book of Sin emerged in response, with the plum blossoms flickering with strange and charming light, exuding a strong aura of sin.
Upon seeing this, Old Demon no longer hesitated and immediately used the technique of "Transplanting Flowers and Grafting Trees" to throw his soul into that plum blossom.
Suddenly, a surging wave of fire surrounded his soul. With his rich experience and skilled techniques, he skillfully guided the fire wave, merging it with his own soul.
