There is no doubt that the power contained within the multicoloured crystal stone is the Five Elements Spiritual Energy required to cultivate the “Great Five Elements Crystal.”
However, the spiritual energy within this multicoloured crystal stone differs from that described in the technique.
In the “Great Five Elements Crystal,” the Five Elements Spiritual Energy is described as the gentlest form of energy, yet the spiritual energy within this multicoloured crystal stone is so violent, filled with all sorts of negative influences.
“Could it be related to this space?”
Mo Fan murmured to himself, then tried touching the multicoloured crystal stone again with his hand, once more feeling that violent energy.
This time, he did not pull back his arm but allowed a wisp of energy to enter his body.
The next moment, Mo Fan’s eyes turned blood-red, and a different scene appeared in his mind.
“Kill!!”
Roars echoed through the heavens.
In a daze, Mo Fan saw himself floating in mid-air, surrounded by cultivators as far as the eye could see!
These cultivators all possessed the ability to fly, and at this moment, they were glaring at him with hostility. Many had already launched attacks, their battle cries shaking the sky!
Among these cultivators, Mo Fan even noticed the figures of demon race cultivators.
This meant that there were both human and demon races here!
Facing this overwhelming onslaught, Mo Fan remained unmoved, allowing the attacks to land on him without causing the slightest harm.
Then, he saw himself point a finger, and a five-coloured radiance emerged, rippling through the air like waves on water.
Anyone touched by the five-coloured radiance exploded instantly, their bodies bursting apart!
In an instant, the sky rained blood, and countless severed limbs fell from the heavens.
Mo Fan looked down at the ground, only to see endless slaughter unfolding below, with one identical figure after another expressionlessly slaughtering through the crowd!
Mo Fan noticed that these figures’ appearances felt familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.
“Roar!”
“Roar!!”
“…”
In the distance, great demons roared, causing mountains and rivers to shatter.
Figures as massive as mountains charged toward Mo Fan, launching attacks.
Mo Fan pointed again, and the earth trembled as enormous crystal spikes, like bamboo shoots, emerged from the ground, pinning the great demons in place.
“Buzz!!”
In the sky, a giant bell appeared, its invisible force causing Mo Fan’s mind to waver.
“Clang!”
The giant bell crashed down, suppressing Mo Fan within it!
“Boom!”
The next moment, the bell was flung away, covered in cracks, and finally turned entirely to crystal.
More treasures flew toward him, their unleashed power nearly submerging the entire region, sinking the land itself!
When everything settled, Mo Fan emerged, utterly exhausted.
Yet what greeted him was an enormous golden fist!
Boom!
Mo Fan raised his hand to meet the fist, only to be sent crashing back into the depths of the earth by the terrifying force.
When he flew out of the earth a second time, a heavenly blade sliced through the sky.
Mo Fan roared, his eyes bloodshot, muttering words that even he could not clearly hear.
The next instant, the heavenly blade descended, severing Mo Fan’s head from his body!
In that moment, fear, unwillingness, anger, killing intent… countless negative emotions surged into Mo Fan’s heart.
As if reduced to just a head, he still refused to die, yearning to soar into the sky!
Yet a third attack came!
It was a divine spear, piercing through Mo Fan’s head in a single thrust!
The next moment, Mo Fan jolted awake from his dazed state, instinctively pulling his hand from the multicoloured crystal stone. He touched his head, finding no wounds.
He hurriedly checked his body, confirming that his head had not been severed, but a wave of nausea overwhelmed him, as if he had just fought a great battle.
“Buzz!”
At that moment, the golden coin deep in Mo Fan’s mind trembled slightly, instantly dispelling all his discomfort.
“Were those chaotic scenes just now fragments of the master’s memories?”
After a long moment, Mo Fan finally came to his senses, and with a brief reflection, he understood everything.
The multicoloured crystal stone was likely affected by the blood of the master of Skull Mountain, causing its spiritual energy to become violent, filled with a brutal and chaotic aura.
In other words, the multicoloured crystal stone had been contaminated by that blood.
To cultivate the Great Five Elements Crystal, the Monkey King had no choice but to actively interact with the multicoloured crystal stone, and over time, he too must have been affected by these brutal and chaotic emotions.
To avoid falling into madness, the Monkey King transferred these terrifying negative energies to his fellow monkey demons.
This explained why there were so many monkey demon corpses around Skull Mountain.
The reason the Monkey King returned here in the end was perhaps for one final act of madness, actively absorbing more negative energy in an attempt to use it to kill Mo Fan.
Thus, when Mo Fan placed his hand on the Monkey King’s shoulder, the Monkey King likely intended to transfer those negative energies to him.
What the Monkey King did not anticipate was that once this brutal energy entered Mo Fan’s body, it was quickly absorbed by the golden coin, dooming his plan to fail.
“It seems I’ll need to take some time to study this thing properly!”
Mo Fan cast aside his jumbled thoughts and, with a wave of his mouth, collected the multicoloured crystal stone before him.
Then, he searched the space again, ensuring nothing was overlooked before returning the way he came.
“Father!!”
As soon as Mo Fan emerged from the golden liquid, a streak of golden light rushed toward him, landing on his shoulder.
Mo Fan glanced sideways, seeing it was Yingying Monster.
“You worked hard this time!”
Mo Fan smiled, reaching out to pat Yingying Monster’s head, then flew into the sky, looking down at Skull Mountain once more, only to feel a chill run through him.
Indeed, the familiar figure from those memory fragments was none other than the master of Skull Mountain!
Mo Fan also realised that the circular pool of golden liquid was caused by that final spear.
Thus, it was clear what the golden liquid was.
At this thought, Mo Fan’s brow furrowed slightly, and he felt a chill. He had not expected the so-called monkey wine to be refined from the brain marrow of such an “immortal.”
However, as a demon in this life, Mo Fan was not particularly repulsed, only feeling a sense of awe that even someone as powerful as the master of Skull Mountain had died here, stirring some fear in his heart.
Mo Fan did not linger on these thoughts for long and opened his mouth to collect the golden “immortal liquid.”
As for Skull Mountain, he left it untouched, for after collecting the golden immortal liquid, he noticed that the mountain, which had stood for who knows how long, began to collapse at a visible rate.
In mere moments, the skull became decayed and emitted a foul stench.
Mo Fan did not stay long and soon left the space.
When he returned to the tree hollow space, he found the monkey tribe’s demon generals and soldiers all gathered there.
Seeing that it was Mo Fan who emerged, the monkey demons all stared in disbelief.
“How could it be you?!”
“Where is our king?”
The seven great demon generals glared at Mo Fan with hostile eyes.
“He’s dead!”
Mo Fan spoke calmly, then recounted what had happened in the blood-coloured space, revealing all the terrible deeds the Monkey King had done.
“You’re lying!”
“How could our king slaughter his own kin?!”
“It must be you, this demon, spouting lies to deceive us!!”
As soon as Mo Fan spoke, the demon soldiers erupted in fury, itching to fight him to the death.
Mo Fan was not surprised by this reaction, but the seven great demon generals, though grim-faced, showed no extreme behaviour.
“Enough!”
“He has no reason to deceive us!”
“Speak plainly, what do you want?!”
The seven great demon generals looked up at Mo Fan in unison.
“You have two choices!”
“One, perish here with your so-called king!”
“Two, take me as your new king and follow me henceforth!”
