Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

The measly three-story tall Zhang Laifu dares to confine me.

I wanted to annihilate him, a task that would take but a flick of a finger.

Countless medicinal powers and a sea of blood tumbled within my body.

The Sovereign's body grew increasingly scorching, plunging the entire immortal mountain into a sea of fire.

"Break for me!"

Accompanied by a sharp phoenix cry, the Sovereign suddenly rose, continuing to stretch out his arms.

But at that moment,

The numerous healed puncture wounds on his body all throbbed with pain at once.

The wooden stakes filled with dao symbols, even though they had already left his body, left a residue of Qi that unexpectedly began to converge at that moment.

Forming a slightly gaunt "Seal" character at his heart.

"Pfft."

The Sovereign suddenly knelt to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of crimson blood plasma.

He looked up in disbelief, as if seeing Zhang Laifu watching him with a face full of mockery.

Rage and resentment occupied his crimson phoenix eyes.

The Sovereign felt a great humiliation, smashing his fist onto the floor tiles.

That old dog seemed to have calculated everything.

Whatever he did, it would only grant him that much strength.

I was like a foolish donkey, and that Great Qian was the carrot the old dog tied in front of me.

"You wait! You wait for me!" The Sovereign gasped for air, reverting back to human form, saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth.

He would use a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood to become the Blood Wutong.

With all the great elixirs of the Nanyang Sect, he would achieve his phoenix nirvana!

To let that old dog understand, the gap in innate lineage could not be bridged by relying on the Nanyang Sect's legacy!

"..."

After a brief period of recuperation,

The Sovereign staggered out of the great hall, giving a sharp whistle with his fingers.

Soon, several avian demons swiftly converged from all directions.

"Inform Shen Feng to cease their actions, Great Qian is my prey."

The Sovereign wiped the corner of his lips, but suddenly noticed the demons wore strange expressions, crouching weakly beside him.

"Reporting to the Sovereign... the attacks on Great Qian had been repelled, with heavy casualties... They have arrays established everywhere, and at least ten Transcendent Cultivators have appeared all at once. Even the disciples from Wutong Mountain are assisting them. None of the lands across Jiuzhou have been breached by us,"

One of the bolder demons softly responded, "As for the Great Horned Demon Emperor and Shen Feng, they have not shown themselves."

"Fearing battle before it begins, good."

To the surprise of the demons, instead of anger, a sinister smile crept onto the Sovereign's face.

"By that reasoning, are the people from Wutong Mountain now spread across the lands of Jiuzhou?"

"Yes!"

Before the demon could finish speaking, its complexion drastically changed.

The Sovereign suddenly flapped his wings, ensnaring them within, and under the refinement of searing flames, not even their cries for help could escape before they were all transformed into dense Monster Blood, entering the Sovereign's mouth.

Cultivators are my sustenance, demons likewise.

I want all of the Nanyang Sect to be devoured by me!

In an instant, the wings enveloped in blazing flames burst open, darting toward the direction of Great Qian.

...

In the Great Qian Imperial City, within the Martial Temple First Court,

Qingfeng Zhenren spread his hands in disbelief, "I just wanted to tell you that I've recovered from my injuries, and you're telling me it's over?"

Tang Yuan scratched the back of his head, "Master, I've just returned from Li State, even the Shen Feng was brought down by Senior Shen, it seems it's really over."

"..."

Qingfeng Zhenren furrowed his brows and sat on the ground, counting on his fingers.

So, that day when Shen Yi left the Imperial City, he wasn't being lazy in dealing with Master; he was going to confront Shen Feng?

But... how much time has passed?

If it weren't for Tang Yuan's report, he would have thought Shen Yi simply went out for a midday meal.

"What is Senior Shen doing?"

Tang Yuan asked curiously; he had heard of the day's events from others. With rumors bolstering rumors, they became increasingly absurd. There was talk of Shen Yi severing the Great Horned Demon Emperor with a single kick.

Asking the man himself seemed more reliable.

"I'm not sure, it looked like he was refining elixirs, but I couldn't say for certain."

Qingfeng silently looked towards the First Court. Shen Yi seemed to be overdoing it a bit, he had seen with his own eyes the other party throwing all kinds of demon blood into that furnace and then watched with a hint of expectation.

It was less alchemy and more like gambling with one's life.

First, to see if it would explode, and if lucky, to successfully obtain a furnace full of peculiar and bizarre pellets.

He really dared to eat them...

While the two were talking, another burst of sky-reaching fire light erupted from within the First Court!

Boom!

Seeing such a situation, Tang Yuan shuddered and said, "Then we'll ask next time."

"Right, have your uncles returned?" Li Qingfeng suddenly remembered his master, and thought it best to urge his brothers and sisters to return as soon as the matter was over.

Even if the master was indifferent, he still had the grace of teaching them, and it wasn't the first day they knew of the master's temperament, there really was no need to make the atmosphere so awkward.

"Uncles?"

Just as Tang Yuan was about to bid farewell with cupped hands, hearing this, he suddenly looked up in shock, "The uncles have fallen down."

"..."

Li Qingfeng abruptly looked up, only to see a black-robed figure falling from the sky.

The Mysterious Sword landed first with a clang, deeply embedding itself next to Tang Yuan.

Sister Lingxi, her face full of panic, reached out to catch Nie Jun, and just as her palm barely touched his shoulder, a magnificent wave of fire rolled in from the distance!

Bang—

Before leaving the Imperial City, both had taken a vestment robe from Shen Yi that was reserved for the elders of Nanyang.

With the blessing of such a precious magical item.

It could be said that within the Transcendent Spirit Realm, as long as one didn't stubbornly fight to the death, there was almost nothing that could harm them.

However, under the watchful eyes of Li Qingfeng and his apprentice,

The wave of fire directly hit Lingxi, sending her flying and revealing the short sword within.

Hiss.

The snowy white short sword had actually pierced directly through the Nanyang vestment robe, leaving a deep, bone-deep gash on Lingxi's shoulder.

"Is this what you meant by it being over?"

Li Qingfeng had no time to curse; he shot up into the air, rushing toward his brother and sister along with Tang Yuan.

Just as they fell within the Great Qian boundary,

Wu Dao'an from the Martial Temple had already reacted extremely fast and activated the Formation Eye.

The Imperial City's formation was not only the most resource-intensive, but it was also constructed by the entire Xu Family, and even had assistance from senior Tong of Wutong Mountain to strengthen it.

In an instant, a counterpart of nine dragons and nine phoenixes, stimulated by various formation materials of different natures, rose together.

Each one was nearly a hundred meters in size.

Such massive creatures running through the sky, flicking their tails and flapping their wings, caused the various lights to ripple rapidly across the sky.

"Huff."

Li Qingfeng caught Nie Jun and then looked at Tang Yuan, who had also managed to support Lingxi.

Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking up, his entire body stiffened. Through the thin veil of light, the first thing to come into view was a pair of slowly flapping, large fiery wings. Each plume feather seemed to be condensed from blazing flames.

And the owner of those wings, wrapped under the magnificent silver armor and snow-white cloak, had a youthful face that was sneering at him.

"..."

Li Qingfeng instinctively threw Nie Jun downwards with all his might.

Under such a terrifying gaze, even separated by the formation and unable to feel the opponent's powerful aura, he still felt an asphyxiating sensation.

Even though he could clearly see the opponent's appearance, he couldn't recall the youth's name.

But the sense of a crisis that seemed as if it would completely collapse in the next second heavily struck Li Qingfeng's chest.

Do something, he must do something!

He couldn't just stand there waiting to die.

With that thought, Li Qingfeng suddenly roared with a voice tearing through the air, "Senior Shen, save us!"

He didn't know why he had shouted that, considering even Brother Nie and the senior sister weren't a match, Shen Yi probably couldn't do much either.

But instinctively, he grasped at this last straw for survival.

"..."

Hearing Li Qingfeng's roar, the Demon Emperor paused for a moment, then the sneer at the corner of his lips grew more mocking.

One piece of food was calling for rescue from another, more delicious piece of food.

In an instant,

The Demon Emperor pressed down his palm again, and another short sword sprang from his waist.

The seemingly insignificant short sword carried a torrential force, mercilessly stabbing straight down towards the ground below!
