61. A Devil is Born
Splash!
Clay moaned in pain. As he struggled to open his eyes, he felt two more buckets of cold water splashed towards his face forcing him to wake up.
Arrggh!
As soon as he had a view of his surroundings, he realized his body was crucified while surrounded by a group of unknown cultivators. And looking at their disdainful gazes, he felt like a priced wild animal they cooperated to hunt. He was about to release his Qi projections to remove the metals firmly nailing him against a hard wood, however he felt there a seal in his dantian.
"You see, transformed bodies are very resilient and could heal just by eating. If only you could live past a year, I don't mind making you my subordinate."
Clay looked at the man who just spoke. Clean smooth skin and properly dressed when compared to his comrades who all look like bandits, probably on his thirties. This man even has charming features but when Clay saw him grin, he knew he is dealing with a merciless reprobate.
Clay did not respond and continued to analyze the seal on his dantian.
"If you tell me the secrets of these boulders, I will give you a painless death. If I am not satisfied, I will hire a demonic cultivator to search and destroy your soul, denying you of a chance to reincarnate." The leader caressed the Vein Model.
As Clay attempted the seal in his dantian, he felt it would explode reminding him of that time when he got crippled. While he has his Beast Cores, he did not want to spend and waste a few days healing his primary meridian especially that does not have much time to live.
“Your mistake is not killing me when you had the chance.” This time, it was Clay’s turn to make a cold grin. Using his Beast Cores, multiple Qi Projection Tentacles manifested from his body then instantly restrained everyone. Like an octopus, his Qi Projections hanged his preys tightly immobilizing everyone mid air. At the same time, he reinforced his hands and feet with his Qi then forcefully freed himself.
Arggggg!
Arggggg!
“Help us master.”
“Please don’t kill me!”
Clay could hear cries of despair and helplessness. There are at least three Foundation Establishment experts including the leader.
Squish!
Squish!
Squish!

Except for the leader, Clay squeezed everyone to death.
"This friend. Ah…. I.. am Hur Mab, son of Hur Nura. If you kill me, ….. the three Mountain A…… Alliance will come after you." The leader trembled and could articulate his sentence.
“Was you it you who placed a seal on me?” Clay slowly tightened his grip.
“Ahhh…… I .. a .. can… a remove … it” Before the leader suffocated to death, Clay loosened his grip then dropped him on the ground.
“Good. Now be a good boy and remove …..” Clay was in the middle of his sentence when he saw the leader crushed a wooden token.
At the same time, his dantian explode.
“You!!!” Clay cursed. Clay had develop a level of pain tolerance that he could barely feel the wound on his hand and feet but the pain brought about by his dantian being destroyed is on another level.
Clay fell to his knees and when he was about to get up, he felt three metallic disk surrounded him.
WHISH!
Clay felt his entire body being torn to pieces while being pulled to the ground.
“How does it feel being crushed by gravity, you monster!” Hur Mab shouted as he retaliated.
“Ha ha ha” After a few minutes, Clay coldly laughed. With his primary meridian being crippled, he temporarily lost control of his body but after a few seconds, he stood back up despite the tremendous pull of gravity.
“You call this an attack?”
Hur Mab watched in horror as he saw a Qi Tentacles ensnared his limbs.
"Please…. I will give you what you want. My father can grant you anything you want." Hur Mab wailed like a dying pig.
Clay controlled his Qi Projection to bring the miserable Hur Mab closer to him.
"Is there a cure to my transformation?” Clay asked in cold voice interrupting the crying desperate young master.
"This friend, they say that it cannot be cured when the transformation starts but my father is willing to look for a cure for you if let me live."
Clay is aware there might be surprise attacks again and wanted to just kill the man but who knows if a random cultivator might have answers. Disappointingly enough, there is none.
"Since you are very much interested with the secrets of the Vein Model, I will show you how it is created." Clay refused to give the man an easy death.
“Please…. Spare me….”
“Don’t kill me….!!!!!”
There is no expression on Clay’s face as he injected his Qi into Hur Mab's circulation circuit isolating it like he did with the boar. He could feel a strong resistance but with his boosted power, he easily drilled into every turns and when he finally surrounded Hur Mab's with his Qi, a sharp Qi Tentacle grew from his back then drilled it to Hur Mab's brain. On that exact moment of death, he was able to penetrate and gain control of the circulation.
To Clay surprise, unlike the Vein Model he created using magic beast where he had to wait a few hours before Spiritual Qi would come out, Clay noticed small traces of concentrated amount of Qi started to be released.
Clay is baffled by the result so he immediately covered it with sticky dirt before encasing it with a rock before submerging it into the water.
In just one minute, Clay could feel Spiritual Qi released from the newly created Vein Model and even he is shocked by the quality of Qi being released. Even the Qi Crystals he absorbed were not as pure as the Spiritual Qi he is currently breathing in.
Just when he was about to sit down and meditate, Clay felt something is dangling from his buttocks.
“Is that a tail?”
He removed his clothes then took out a mirror from his ring.
Sigh!
Even though he was ready, the intractable transformation is still beyond his expectations. He grew a tail and even his hands and head had all transformed. His voice has gotten deeper and lastly, he could feel two protrusions on each side of his head and even though it is still small, it is already taking into a shape of a horn.
“This is not good!” Clay cursed as he took out a slice of Patanii Fruit to heal his primary meridians.
