Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 862: Chapter 594 Time has Come_2

The Killing Array continued unabated, the wails growing eerier and more piercing as more and more gray mist began to converge.

And the youth merely found it somewhat noisy.

He slightly closed his eyes, and once again hastened the infusion of demonic lifespan years.

...

Southern Hong, outside Peach Blossom Villa.

Across the vast expanse of water and land, a qi presence was firmly locked onto the towering dark golden Dharma Aspect that stood over thirty feet tall.

"How patient can you be?"

The South Dragon King stood over the azure sea, in no rush to approach but at a distance from which it could return to the Dragon Cave at any moment.

Even though the chances of being discovered by the South Hong Seven Sons were next to nil, and the fact that if a real fight were to break out, it might not suffer a loss, the longstanding guardian of Southern Hong still chose the most cautious approach.

This "Merit Immortal" really had low cultivation.

He was probably only at the Return to Void level.

Keeping an eye on him was all too easy for the South Dragon King, and there was no way for the other to send out any message.

To its mild surprise, after sensing its qi presence, this Merit Immortal was still able to remain so calm—an individual worthy of being noted by Immortal Court in the land of Hongze for having the patience to find a different path.

Unfortunately, being born in Southern Hong, even carving a new path was a dead end.

The South Dragon King did not envy him, as it could roughly guess the end that this Merit Immortal would meet.

"This King must thank the Immortal."

What it truly cared about now, was how to use this hard-earned opportunity to completely eradicate the calamity that were the Seven Sons of South Hong.

Even if it was concerned that Fairy Zi Ling still held onto the familial ties with the East Dragon Palace in her heart, Sect Master Shen’s astonishing talent should be enough to help the Hongze Immortal make up his mind.

"I beseech the Immortal... to remain honest and not trouble this King!"

With those chilling words, a vast demonic power suddenly bombarded Qinghua, causing the seated Golden Body Dharma Aspect to suddenly sink.

Qinghua slowly glanced to the side, eyeing the water without saying more.

Seeing this, the South Dragon King finally smiled. According to its former temperament, it would never have done such a meaningless impulsive act, but after successive provocation, beneath its calm exterior, its heart had already started to agitate.

Only the feeling of making a future Immortal bow in silence could slightly quell the rage in its heart.

At that moment,

The South Dragon King looked up toward the sky; after a brief moment of distraction, its eyes filled with thick surprise and joy.

The "Heavenly Soldiers and Generals" it had long awaited had finally arrived in Southern Hong!

It subconsciously reached out its palm to the cuff of its sleeve.

This time the losses of the Southern Dragon Palace were truly devastating, with two Dragon Sons of the Heavenly Realm cut down.

But if it could bring about the downfall of the Seven Sons of South Hong, and put an end to the trouble once and for all, then it was not a loss indeed.

The Immortal had once cut down Qin Jiaoyang with a single palm; now it was time for another palm to let this new Sect Master of Nanyang experience the excruciating pain that his predecessor had.

Such arrogance deserves immortal punishment!

"..."

Feeling a ripple in the qi upon him,

Qinghua also raised his head, his hands, which had rested casually on his knees, now silently clenched.

The South Dragon King failed to notice the killing intent that slowly swept through the dark golden eyes of the towering Dharma Aspect.

Since following his master, Qinghua had never suffered such humiliation.

This time was no different from the previous.

...

Nanyang Treasure Land, the great hall atop the mountain.

In the slightly dim hall, a long figure staggered to its feet, with its ink-black robe fluttering without wind, revealing a somewhat emaciated body.

Between the disheveled locks of hair, his pale face had become completely indifferent, his pupils a lifeless gray.

If the original Blood God Technique made Shen Yi appear full of murderous aura and terrifying, then now, he was simply unbearable to look at; a mere glance would make one feel inexplicably despairing, as if sinking into the void.

"Whew."

Shen Yi slowly raised his head, and behind him, several Hall Masters dared not to speak, their expressions still bearing traces of panic; they had been enduring an endless killing tribulation for hundreds of thousands of years.

Only An Yi was relatively normal.

After all, the Little Tiger Demon had never killed anyone before, and the killings she was involved in only occurred after becoming the Town Stone, when she followed Shen Yi’s orders, so she faced no tribulation of the heart.

The fatigue on her face was simply due to having been inside the panel for too long.

```

However, the aura emanating from the current master instilled a creeping sense of dread in her heart. The person before her was completely different from before.

Shen Yi of the past, although equally calm and decisive in his killings, was someone whose emotional ripples An Yi could detect. He simply chose not to outwardly display them.

But now, the heart of the youth before her was like the dead sea, seemingly indifferent to whatever might occur.

This path of cultivation was truly terrifying, as if one pursued it solely for the sake of moving forward, without any attachments or concerns.

Even the most familiar Hall Masters of Shen Yi shared this sentiment, let alone others.

"..."

Shen Yi slowly took a step forward. Simultaneously, countless thread-like wisps of grey fog peeled from his body, leaving behind a grey silhouette that swiftly dissipated.

His eyes returned to their pitch-black color and after a brief moment of being dazed, he looked at his palms with a slight sense of helplessness.

Well then, this time he couldn’t blame the demons.

After all, not even Yue Tianji had offered any objection. This Heartless Dao Technique was, in its entirety, his own creation.

He had previously been worried about the Blood God Technique affecting his mind.

Now there was no need to worry.

Because once he employed the Heartless Dao Technique, even if the people he cared about the most fell before him, Shen Yi could ensure that he remained extremely calm.

After all, in that Killing Array of illusions, he had watched over and over again, wide-eyed, as far more brutal scenes unfolded countless times.

Unlike Shenyue Zhenqingtian which required the help of Treasure Mountain, or the Supreme Netherworld which was nurtured by the collective effort of the Western Hall’s demons.

The progression of this Daoist Technique was entirely a reflection of the rich foundation Shen Yi had built up through his own hands, slaying demons ever since his arrival in this world.

[Remaining Demon Lifespan Years: 4,720,000]

[Immortal. Ten Thousand Tribulations Heartless Path: Perfection]

Shen Yi slightly turned, "You come with me, the rest continue to garrison here."

"We shall heed the Master’s Imperial Edict!"

Ke Shisan bowed sincerely and then transformed into a streak of light that entered Shen Yi’s forehead.

Seeing their master returning to normal, the various Hall Masters sighed in relief: "We shall obey."

It wasn’t that Shen Yi was being careless—given the Late Stage of Heavenly Realm involved, and facing a near invincible existence like the South Dragon King in the same realm, the remaining Hall Masters indeed had no role to play.

It wasn’t just An Yi and Yu Lan. Even Shen Yi himself remembered the feeling of powerlessness when he faced the South Dragon King’s claw, a memory still vivid to this day.

Luckily, the opponent had come out.

Shen Yi stepped out from the hall, and in an instant, his figure appeared at the foot of the mountain.

In the past, it was always Li Qingfeng who awaited here, but today it was Xuan Qing.

"Sect Master... are you going out?"

One could say that, apart from those who had followed Shen Yi out, there was no one among the Seven Sons of Southern Hong who trusted the young Sect Master more than Xuan Qing, who had personally witnessed Shen Yi progress from the Transcendent Spirit Late Stage through twelve gates, rising to the White Jade Capital and finally reaching the Heavenly Realm in the He Dao Bao Di.

But after reflecting on recent events for a long time,

Xuan Qing still couldn’t resist coming here and asking this question.

His heart truly was extremely troubled.

The Sect Master had hinted at enmity with Hongze Immortal.

But Xuan Qing hadn’t taken it seriously, knowing that once the Sect Master truly touched that level, the idea would quickly fade away.

But today was different.

He sensed that the Sect Master seemed ready to take that first step in that direction.

If this step was taken, not to mention the success rate or how slight the chance, once he truly stepped forward, there would be no turning back.

"..."

Shen Yi did not reply, only nodded slightly, then gently patted Senior Xuanqing’s arm: "Don’t worry, it’ll be quick."

The time had come, the opportunity was not to be missed. There was no logic in not moving forward.

"Heh!"

Xuan Qing’s breath suddenly grew heavy. He didn’t quite understand what the Sect Master meant by ’it’ll be quick.’

But he could tell that the other party was ready to risk his life.

Their Sect Master was always in a hurry, very different from other cultivators, giving everyone who knew him the sensation of being dragged forward.

"So, is it the South Dragon King?!"

Xuan Qing suddenly looked up, only to find Shen Yi’s figure had already vanished within the Nanyang Treasure Land.
