Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons
Chapter 837 - 584: Who is Ambushing Who_2

Chapter 837: Chapter 584: Who is Ambushing Who_2

Deng Xiangjun gasped heavily, and by using the previously swallowed White Fire to dispel the frost covering his body, he took out the Dao Plate again, attempting to transmit the scene he had just witnessed back to his sect.

However, the already cracked Dao Plate shattered completely the moment he infused it with his breath!

A Great Demon in the Mid Heavenly Realm had the power to change the current situation in Southern Hong.

The fact that this entity chose not to go to the Seven Sects but came here must be because it deemed something else more important.

After much thought, the only thing more important than suppressing forces like Ye Jiu and his crowd... could be the obstruction of Sect Master Shen’s path.

If this information were known, even if it were Senior Brother Qi, could he really remain unshaken?

"Huff—"

Deng Xiangjun let out a breath, his hands waving continuously as a stream of lifelike paper cranes flew out from his sleeves, transforming into real white cranes, scattering in all directions towards the territories of the Southern Hong Seven Sects.

To avoid interception, he released hundreds of them at once.

Even though this action might affect Senior Brother Qi’s decision-making, leading to disarray, Deng Xiangjun simply could not pretend he hadn’t seen anything or harbor any hope for the best.

This was a targeted ambush against Sect Master Shen; the Southern Dragon Palace understood Shen Yi’s character even better than these Alliance Sect Masters did!

After all this, Deng Xiangjun carefully concealed his presence, having just narrowly escaped death. He hesitated not a moment before heading once more in the direction of Xuan Yue City.

He needed to obtain firsthand information to facilitate a better response by the three Heavenly Realm powerhouses.

...

In the waters and land between Southern Hong,

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A monstrous Ape Demon raced at full strength in the skies, traversing mountains and seas to arrive. It then knelt mid-air, its long arms lifting high above its head, as if offering something in its hands, worshipping the Azure Sky.

However, the dignified posture it presented when kneeling wasn’t directed towards Cangtian Immortal Court; it was only kneeling towards a figure in black robes, seated in meditation.

"Go."

Shen Yi opened his eyes and nodded slightly, receiving the mangled corpse.

With a slight raise of his hand, the Demon Corpse transformed into a Blood River rushing towards him, and with a closing grasp of his fingers, a figure with a hook-like mouth slowly rose from the Blood River formed from the Demon Corpse.

It was a humanoid grey eagle, gently flapping its wings.

In an instant, the eyes of this grey eagle Great Demon flickered with intelligence; it came back to life just like that!

If such a bizarre scene were seen by others, they might start to question the true identity of this young man in black, wondering if he was indeed an embodiment of a cosmic phenomenon.

To seize the essence of creation, to reverse Yin and Yang, to defy life and death, was not within human capabilities!

Another thirty-odd thousand years of Demon Lifespan was expended.

Shen Yi, as per usual, inducted it into the Ten Thousand Demon West Hall, leaving it to An Yi’s command. He then silently counted in his heart, muttering, "The tenth one."

That’s right, after slaying the Ape Demon and Crane Demon, he used these two as a bridge to seamlessly establish contact with that group of Western Hong demons.

In the current South, Shen Yi was the one who had all the information.

Not only did he have the help of many Western Hong Great Demons, but he also intercepted all the letters sent out by the elder of the Qi Family. Of course, he also nonchalantly claimed the Lifespan Years offered by those Demon Generals.

It could be said,

He knew even better where the demons would go next than they did themselves... because he intentionally let the Town Stone under his command release its breath to lure them there.

This time, a total of twelve Great Demons came from Western Hong.

Shen Yi, after the initial encounter, had not personally taken action but instead remained stationed in the mid-section of Southern Hong.

Because to nearly all Great Demon Town Stones, the most memorable presence was a terrifying being who had gained numerous benefits in a killing calamity known as Cold Mountain Ancestor.

From beginning to end, he had been searching for this Ancestor’s location.

"This should be sufficient, right?"

Shen Yi immersed his Divine Soul into the Ten Thousand Demon West Hall, feeling the stirrings of the entity being nurtured within.

"Just a little more," An Yi replied softly.

With so many Harmonization Demon Town Stones and her bloodline’s guidance, her connection with the West Hall was becoming clearer, as if she was about to realize something.

"Alright,"

Shen Yi nodded lightly. Although he couldn’t verify whether the nurturing entity was the Divine Ability he had anticipated,

he did not come away empty-handed.

With the addition of this grey eagle Great Demon, the last ray of Jin Guang in the Emperor City, representing the death calamity, was swallowed up, leaving behind a rich Hong Mang. It appeared thick and sticky, flowing like savage blood plasma or like the evening’s red glow, carrying hints of twilight.

Shen Yi reached out his hand, and the Yin Yang Mysterious Pendant landed on his fingertip.

From the initial purple aura of the Hongmeng Heavenly Soldier, it turned into a golden glow, and now to the current crimson sheen.

The appearance of this jade pendant finally underwent a transformation.

On the distinctly white jade body, the eyes of the Yin Yang Fish morphed into a pair of tiger pupils, which, the moment they opened, were interlaced with crystal-clear blood strands!

[Demon Emperor Weapon: Yin Yang Life and Death]

Shen Yi had speculated from the beginning that his Dao Soldier could continue to grow; otherwise, how could the Dao Soldier crafted during the era of White Jade Capital possibly play a decisive role in the combats at the Unity Realm Stage? Now, with the prompt that leapt up on the display, it seemed he had received confirmation.

"Demon Emperor Weapon..."

He gently grasped the jade pendant, only to see that the Yin and Yang sides were slowly separating, resembling a pair of black and white tiger cubs, leisurely circling Shen Yi’s finger, affectionately rubbing against the pads of his fingers.

Within the two gliding shadows, both lay a tiny, curled-up, sleeping body.

The only difference was the color of the horse-faced skirt draped over them.

"Hurry up."

Shen Yi tucked away the jade pendant and stood up, taking a moment to straighten his cuffs.

As he rose, in a place far away,

a pure white giant wolf stood proudly among the clouds, its eyes tinged with a hint of contempt for the Southern Barbarian, calmly watching the fleeing crowd below.

It had merely unleashed a trace of demonic power, yet it rendered these cultivators of Southern Hong utterly devoid of the will to fight, which was truly dull and served only to sate its hunger.

At this thought, the white wolf took a slight step forward, preparing to descend, but its gaze suddenly froze.

Instinctively, it scanned its surroundings.

Out of the originally empty mists, figures began to emerge, some as grand as mountains, while others were as lean as monkeys; they walked out unhurriedly, sealing off all possible escape routes.

"What’s this, all gathered together?"

The white wolf paused in bewilderment, looking at these familiar faces, forcing a smile as it raised its head.

The response, however, was a fierce bombardment.

The white wolf took a hard blow to the face, its beautiful and sturdy body tossed sideways, tumbling through the air before barely stabilizing itself, its breath in disarray, "What... what is the meaning of this?"

Caught off guard and attacked, it should have been enraged, but faced with so many same-realm Great Demons, it didn’t even have the strength to retaliate, let alone question with much conviction.

Fortunately, these Great Demons had no intention of mocking.

The lord was running out of patience.

One of the towering Great Demons stepped on the white wolf, pinning it down, while numerous figures swarmed over it, unleashing their Innate Divine Abilities without hesitation, brutally tearing it apart into chunks of flesh amidst its fearful and bewildered howls.

"..."

Thus, the last Earth Realm Great Demon was slain.

Shen Yi glanced casually at the display.

To reconstruct the Divine Souls of these ten Great Demons, aside from their own remaining Lifespans, it cost nearly two million years of Demon Lifespan.

Luckily, there was a bit of compensation from the horde of Demon Generals brought by the eldest of the Qi Family.

Although these Return to Void Realm Demon Generals weren’t as powerful, there were a decent number of them, with several dozen coming on their own to deliver messages, including some comparable to the existence of White Jade Capital.

All in all, a considerable total nearing four million years.

[Remaining Demon Lifespan Years: 5,610,000 years]

Such a number would be more than a lifetime, even for the South Dragon King, let alone ordinary cultivators.

But Shen Yi was still somewhat uneasy.

Despite having an abundant supply of Demon Lifespan, the endeavor he wished to undertake was to take control of the entire South Flood Land, a feat not even ordinary beings dared to imagine.

"Enough, time to see what this West Hall can really nurture."

Shen Yi listened to the news brought back by the Sect Master of the Town Stone, it seemed he had finally found that ancestor.

Hopefully, that being’s life could help Shen Yi truly step into the bounds of the Heaven Realm; it would not be a waste to come to South Hong.

Shen Yi composed himself, and in an instant, he manifested the Perfection Realm of the Shenyue Zhenqingtian to its full extent.

The figure in the dark robe blended back into nothingness, seemingly without change.

Yet, if there were bystanders present, they would be shocked to discover that the clear canopy of the sky... was rapidly moving towards the direction of Xuan Yue City!

An Tingfeng had once shown the ability to move mountains and seas, giving Shen Yi a glimpse of the strength of a Harmonization Demon.

And now, this spectacle of earth-shaking transformation was enough to instill fear in all beings!
