Chapter 0252 – The Nine Flames Demonic Technique – Absolute Return

The palm of the stone statue was wide enough to accommodate dozens of people standing side by side.

I walked over to the stone statue’s index finger and reached out to touch the cold, hard stone with a great deal of emotion.

“Ready?” My father’s voice rang in my ears.

I turned my head, looked at him with a firm gaze, and said in a deep voice, “My child wants to see with his own eyes, the true Heavenly Demon Soul!”

Boom!

An invisible pressure erupted from his father’s body, instantly enveloping the entire hall.

I felt as if I were in the middle of a raging storm and could be torn to pieces at any moment.

“The Nine Fire Demon Technique, vast and profound, with infinite changes, but all changes do not depart from its origin, and its core essence lies in ……”

My father’s voice, like divine thunder above the nine heavens, exploded in my ears, each word containing the supreme true meaning of martial arts, deeply imprinted in my mind.

I held my breath and listened with rapt attention for fear of missing a word.

At this moment, there was only the Nine Flames Devil’s Kung Fu in my heart, nothing else.

“…… Everything in heaven and earth has yin and yang, and the Nine Fires Demonic Technique, is the same. Using oneself as a cauldron, using the heavens and earth as a furnace, refining all things to achieve a supreme demonic body!”

As my father’s voice fell, an immense and incomparable amount of energy surged out from his body, transforming into a single arcane rune and integrating into my body.

I felt as if my body was going to burst, in severe pain, but full of strength.

I knew that this was my father using his own internal energy to help me open my meridians and remodel my foundation.

“Concentrate on your concentration and run your gong method!” Father’s voice sounded again.

I didn’t dare to be slow, and hurriedly followed the method he taught me, running the Nine Fire Demon Technique.

Boom!

A powerful force erupted within me, as unstoppable as a volcanic eruption.

My body, I felt, was undergoing a radical change, and every cell was cheering and greedily absorbing this powerful force.

I don’t know how long it took, but my father’s voice suddenly came to my ears, “Okay, you can stop now.”

I slowly opened my eyes, only to feel refreshed and energized, as if I had inexhaustible strength.

“Thank you father!” I got up in a hurry and bowed respectfully to say thank you.

“No need to be polite.” Father waved his hand, a look of gratification flashed in his eyes, “You are gifted and highly perceptive, in time, you will be able to surpass your father and carry forward the Nine Flames Demonic Technique.”

“I will do my best to live up to my father’s high expectations!” I said in a firm tone.

“Uh-huh.” Father nodded, and suddenly his words changed, asking, “What are your feelings about the Nine Fire Demon Technique?”

I was slightly stunned, and after a moment’s contemplation, I replied, “My child is foolish, and my understanding of the Nine Fires Demonic Technique is still shallow, but I only vaguely feel that this technique seems to be too overbearing, and focuses too much on power, while neglecting the honing of one’s own heart.”

“Oh?” A flash of surprise flashed through my father’s eyes, “Why did you have this realization?”

I organized my words and slowly said, “Over the years, my child has walked the rivers and lakes, seen all sorts of martial arts, and encountered all sorts of opponents. Among them, there is no lack of devilish experts who are ruthless and murderous. Though they were strong in martial arts, they all eventually went off the deep end and took their own lives. My child thought that the ultimate purpose of martial arts was not to kill, but to guard. Only with compassion in one’s heart can one truly utilize the power of martial arts.”

My father was silent as he listened to me and seemed to be thinking about something.

Only after a long time did he slowly open his mouth and said, “You are right, the Nine Flame Demon Technique is indeed too overbearing, and it is easy to lose one’s mind. This is also the reason why successive generations of Heavenly Demons have all had difficulty ending up well.”

I couldn’t help but ask, “How should I break it?”

My father looked up at me, a glint flashed in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, “The Nine Fires Demonic Technique, it is not that there is no way to break it. It’s just that the path is too difficult, too dangerous, and if you’re not careful, you’ll be doomed.”

I took a deep breath and said with a firm gaze, “My child is not afraid of hardships and dangers, but only seeks to find a path that truly belongs to his own martial arts path!”

“Good!” A flash of appreciation flashed across his father’s eyes, “I am very relieved that you have this determination! Today, I will teach you the true mysteries of the Nine Flame Demon Technique!”
