Chapter 757 - 362: Golden Extreme Heaven-Breaking Sword Talisman and True Demon Tree Heart

Chapter 757: Chapter 362: Golden Extreme Heaven-Breaking Sword Talisman and True Demon Tree Heart

A golden talisman the size of two palms appeared in Nangong Huan’s hand, with a golden sword faintly visible on it.

As the golden sword flickered, a terrifying sword intent surpassing the late stage of the Golden Core spread unknowingly.

Gu Qinghe’s eyes suddenly narrowed, and he quickly retreated, stopping only after retreating a hundred li. As he retreated explosively, Nangong Huan followed closely behind, standing a hundred li away from the Celestial Yin Mountain Range.

"Come on."

Gu Qinghe said.

Nangong Huan looked painfully at the golden sword talisman in his hand, muttering, "This Golden Extreme Heaven-Breaking Sword Talisman took me more than fifty years, running to Donghua Immortal City at least a hundred times, to acquire as a top-grade Tier Three talisman."

"For the True Spirit Demon Tree Seeds," Gu Qinghe hastily reminded.

Nangong Huan nodded, immediately throwing out the Golden Extreme Heaven-Breaking Sword Talisman, forming a spell with a raised hand, as a wave of magical power fell upon it. The sword talisman transformed into a light, flying a hundred li in an instant. Upon reaching the Demon Energy Barrier, a monstrous sword intent explosively erupted, sweeping violently, shocking Gu Qinghe to retreat another thousand zhang.

Within the monstrous sword intent, a golden radiance split the sky, crashing down as if from beyond the heavens.

Boom—

The golden sword landed.

The previously indestructible Demon Energy Barrier was finally cut open, leaving a zhang-long gap.

"Go!"

Nangong Huan promptly used an escape technique to rush in.

Gu Qinghe followed closely behind.

...

Inside the Black Hall.

The voice of Lin Yingyun Mountain echoed from within the True Spirit Demon Tree again, "Nangong Huan has used a Tier Three top-grade talisman."

Anchaosheng replied coldly, "It seems the attacks from the Lord of Celestial Demons and Li Lai have given Nangong Huan a sense of crisis. A Tier Three top-grade talisman, indeed quite extravagant."

"If this old man had one or two of such talismans, I certainly couldn’t have lost to Longteng Liyi," Lin Yingyun Mountain couldn’t help but sigh.

Anchaosheng gently said, smiling, "If the Daoist friend had not lost to Longteng Liyi, how could you have gained this chance of undying and undestroyed? Once your body is remade, you could be yourself again, or even be the Demon Realm."

"That’s true indeed."

Lin Yingyun Mountain smiled at these words.

Anchaosheng restrained his smile, then continued, "Daoist friend, tell the Lord of Celestial Demons not to delay any longer, I lack the patience... I want nothing within the Celestial Yin Mountain Range to hinder the formation of the Demon Realm."

"Mm, mm."

Lin Yingyun Mountain responded.

...

Above Cold Pond Mist Valley.

Li Lai ceased his attack and slowly emerged from the demonic energy in the black clouds, gazing indifferently at the Lord of Celestial Demons below.

"Are you sure?"

The Lord of Celestial Demons nodded, "Leave it to me, but I need to see our people leave the Celestial Yin Mountain Range immediately."

"You go first, Nangong Huan and the others will be here in a few hours; we don’t have time to let your people leave first."

"It won’t take long; all remaining demons of our Celestial Demon Race have already gathered at the northern border of the Celestial Yin Mountain Range. Just open a gap in the Demon Array to let them leave," the Lord of Celestial Demons insisted.

Li Lai grinned broadly, a glint of joy and a hint of murderous intent in his smile, "I didn’t expect you to be prepared so early."

"I just want to keep our people alive."

The Lord of Celestial Demons replied.

Li Lai sneered and nodded, then sent a message to Anchaosheng. Anchaosheng didn’t refuse, not only because there were only about ten thousand left of the surviving demon race, but also because he made a request to the Celestial Demon Race.

The Lu Family Corpse Ancestor must die!

The Lord of Celestial Demons did not hesitate, decisively agreeing, "The moment the last demon of our Celestial Demon Race leaves the Celestial Yin Mountain Range will be the end of the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor and the main formation core."

After transmitting, Li Lai halted his assault on the main formation core. After removing the Demon Energy Sound Insulation Barrier, he observed the Cold Pond Mist Valley like a spectator, overlooking the fiercely burning Hundred Li Celestial Demon Divine Fire.

Wen Jiu also closely watched the demon and demon from within the East Spring Undying Bone, his Divine Sense acutely aware of the accelerating convergence of Divine Power within the Celestial Demon Divine Fire, a disturbance large enough to be sensed even by an ordinary late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Linking this to the earlier conversation he spied upon with his Divine Sense, Wen Jiu immediately realized it was time to leave.

Once the Celestial Demon Race completely escapes the Celestial Yin Mountain Range, the Lord of Celestial Demons will likely have no worries.

How could a ruler who hasn’t even submitted to the West Mountain Floating Domain Lord’s Mansion willingly become a puppet?

He was uncertain what the Lord of Celestial Demons intended to do, but he knew for sure that without exposing his strength, it would be difficult to handle. Unfortunately, the major formation in this mountain range ultimately couldn’t be preserved.

"Forget it, let Nangong Huan worry about these things. If Nangong Huan dares to confidently jump into this troublesome water, he must have relied on something. It’s just a matter of seeing what he relies on." Wen Jiu immediately had the Blood Demon Undying Bone secretly transmit to Feng Jue and Lu Xinghe, reminding them to be ready to leave at any time.

As for Deng Lai and others, Wen Jiu gave no reminder, merely controlling the East Spring Undying Bone to mumble, "A large amount of Divine Power is emerging from the Celestial Demon Divine Fire, it seems they are preparing to truly use Acquired Divine Techniques."

Deng Lai and the other Golden Core cultivators, upon hearing this, immediately became tense, exchanging glances and hurriedly casting their gazes towards Deng Lai. They knew that without Deng Lai speaking, the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor likely wouldn’t even notice them.

Realizing the situation, Deng Lai hastily asked, "Senior, do you have confidence in dealing with the Lord of Celestial Demons’ Acquired Divine Techniques?"

"Absolutely not."

Wen Jiu replied.

It was also a reminder for Deng Lai and the others.

If anyone were wise enough to seize the opportunity to escape afterward, it would mean they were incredibly fortunate.

If they kept loyalty to the Domain Lord’s Mansion and pinned their hope of survival on others, hiding in the main formation core, they could only await death here.

The choice between life and death.

Was their decision to make.

After all, he wouldn’t expose his strength by controlling the East Spring Undying Bone just to save their lives.

As time ticked away, Deng Lai and the other Golden Core cultivators grew increasingly restless, secretly communicating amongst themselves.

A few had already withdrawn from the main formation core and begun retreating.

Wen Jiu paid them no mind, focusing his Divine Sense on the flow of Divine Power within the Celestial Demon Divine Fire, and also watching the Lord of Celestial Demons. Before long, Li Lai openly reminded the Lord of Celestial Demons.

"It’s ready."

The Lord of Celestial Demons slowly opened his demon eyes, his expression growing resolute.

For he had sensed that the Celestial Demon Race had entirely left the Celestial Yin Mountain Range.

"Move back," the Lord of Celestial Demons commanded coldly.

Li Lai nodded, transforming into a light that retreated a hundred li, whereupon several Golden Core Zhenrens emerged from the Cold Pond Mist Valley, the first of whom caught the Celestial Demon Divine Fire, consumed before even flying.

A body of Golden Core cultivation turned to ashes in an instant.

Seeing the peril, the remaining Golden Core Zhenrens immediately used life-saving techniques to fly to where the Celestial Demon Divine Fire couldn’t reach. Li Lai’s mouth curled with a contemptuous smile, immediately transforming into black demonic energy to chase them, "You’re already in prison, even late-stage Golden Core cultivators couldn’t break the demon energy barrier, where can you escape to?"

The Lord of Celestial Demons acted as if he didn’t see this scene, only fixing his gaze on the East Spring Undying Bone within the main formation core.

In the next moment.

Ferocious demonic energy surged from his body like thousand-zhang waves crashing against the shore. Accompanied by the sound of a thumping heartbeat, as if the earth were trembling, a colossal demon soul stepped out from the Lord of Celestial Demons.

A power of demon soul far surpassing Tier Three Upper Realm swept open in an instant, shaking even the Golden Core cultivators who had flown dozens of li, causing them to black out and fall like severed kites.

Deng Lai and a few others within the main formation core fared a bit better; however, when a Divine Celestial Demon Fire Lotus bloomed within the Hundred Li Celestial Demon Divine Fire, a rush of deathly crisis instantly gripped their hearts.

Deng Lai, with little hesitation, turned and fled.

Li Lai did the same, abandoning the pursuit of Deng Lai and the others, hastily retreating to avoid being caught up.

Yet Wen Jiu didn’t rush to move the East Spring Undying Bone, not merely because the Divine Celestial Demon Fire Lotus had sealed the surrounding space, making escape techniques unusable, but also because his Divine Sense detected that the Divine Celestial Demon Fire Lotus was not the Lord of Celestial Demons’ true kill move—the already demonically-corrupted Demon Soul was.

Moreover, Wen Jiu sensed an aura that excited the East Spring Undying Bone—the True Spirit Demon Tree.

It was the same reaction elicited when faced with the Thousand-Li Soul-Sealing Extreme Resentful Corpse and the Nine Corpse Infant Fetuses.

But it wasn’t a genuine True Spirit Demon Tree.

Rather, a True Demon Tree Heart, pounding and demonizing the Celestial Demon Demon Soul.

"An excellent thing!"

Wen Jiu rejoiced.
