Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

"Aquatic creatures, heed my command! Don your armor and take up your weapons, prepare for battle!"

With the Heavenly Army suffering more than half its losses, the final battle will depend on the performance of the Four Thunder Lords.

The main force is actually the myriad aquatic creatures of the North Sea.

This part is quite uneven in quality. The strong ones are like the Rainbow Abyss Flood Dragon, who can reach the level of a Venerable (sixth grade), while the weak ones are like shrimp soldiers and crab generals, who can't even reach the level of a True Immortal and have not yet attained immortality.

Tu Shanyue also went to the front line with Gu Qing and others.

She came as an envoy to discuss cooperating with the demon army to annihilate the evil land. She only brought a team of twenty Red Fox Guards, all of whom were first-class demon lords. Her deputy, Bai Jing, was also a demon lord, and a rare white fox at that.

The group hurriedly arrived at the sea.

Tens of thousands of miles away, dark clouds covered half the sky, and crimson lightning flashed and thunder roared. A vast army of demons, monsters, and beasts formed the demon dragon army, and the whole world was filled with demons.

They swept towards the Dragon Palace with unstoppable momentum.

Tu Shanyue immediately shouted.

"I will immediately use a secret method to inform Mother that you should use the Dragon Palace as a shield, activate the aquatic formation, and defend while awaiting reinforcements."

The Dragon King of the North Sea nodded repeatedly and, with several turtle prime ministers, went back into the water, clearly to oversee the aquatic formation.

Ao Miaoge was surrounded by a large number of dragon species, mainly Hong Yuan. They were very strong and were the backbone of this battle. Without saying a word, they went to occupy the positions.

Only the Heavenly Army, led by Lei Zun, stood there somewhat at a loss.

Seeing this, Gu Qing sighed.

"Does Lord Lei have any immortal artifacts for war? Why not take them out and use them now?"

Actually, he had taken several magical artifacts for war from the Heavenly Palace's Artifact Hall before, but they were stolen. Now he can only look for them in his own collection.

The Heavenly Army's combat strength is worrying; it can only serve as an emergency force, temporarily stepping in when problems arise elsewhere.

in this way.

The Dragon Palace side has made proper arrangements. As for Tu Shan Yue, it seems she intends to lead the elite Red Fox Guards into battle if they can slay the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon.

Naturally, we will win.

"They're really not afraid of death..."

Gu Qing sighed inwardly, knowing he could only stand by her side. If the demon princess were to die here at this moment, she would have no way to explain herself. With the war between immortals and demons raging, it would be even more difficult to track down the demons behind it all.

If he had reached the sixth-rank peak level at this moment, he might have gone with the flow, but unfortunately, he still lacks strength.

"Feng Xuan?"

Tu Shanyue glanced at him with some surprise.

Gu Qing said helplessly.

"Red King, you can't let anything happen to you."

"I understand, but we cannot place our hopes on others. We must also struggle to find a glimmer of hope."

"Fighting for your life."

"Then I will accompany you on this journey."

"it is good."

Patting Gu Qing on the shoulder, the Crimson King said nothing more, but remembered the sentiment. However, his adjutant Bai Jing glanced at him with some displeasure.

After a while.

The Azure Sea Aquatic Formation was activated, with multiple aquatic teams occupying key positions. Their combined energy surged forward like a vanguard, sending towering waves crashing ahead.

The nine-headed dragon transformed into its true form, which was thousands of feet long. Its nine heads spewed out jet-black flames, evaporating tens of thousands of acres of seawater in one breath.

"Go! Kill these celestial beings!"

Demons and monsters swarmed forward, with the most formidable being the goblins and monsters. The moment they clashed, corpses rained down, and blood quickly stained the sea red.

All sorts of seafood floated on the sea surface, and in one fell swoop, the aquarium was severely damaged.

The so-called demons and monsters are all evil spirits.

Chimei are all beast-shaped evil spirits, and their every move has great destructive power.

The spirits are all humanoid evil spirits, skilled in incantations, capable of cursing and killing living beings to their faces without any proper rituals, making them extremely terrifying.

Their numbers number at least in the tens of thousands, which is a major problem. The dragon army gathered in the Badlands is far more troublesome than expected, making it hard not to suspect that this was truly the work of the Nine-Headed Dragon alone!
"Ready."

Tu Shan Yue let out a low shout, her spear pointing directly at the nine-headed demon.

"Do it."

With the blessing of magic, the difference between this battle and the previous one is completely different. In particular, the beings of the Mountain and Sea Realm have integrated the laws of nature into themselves, and can incorporate them into every strike without needing to comprehend or mobilize them.

Its power is unparalleled, like a supernatural magic.

Gu Qing finally understood why Tu Shan Yue was known as the Nine-Tailed Crimson King; she was also a fire cultivator. With a thrust of her spear, a blazing fire fox swept away.

All the demons in a straight line were wiped out.

Like a harbinger of death, it accelerated forward, charging straight at the nine-headed demon dragon.

With Gu Qing by his side, the twin swords of demon and ghost, enhanced by divine sense, annihilated all the remaining fugitives left behind by Tu Shan Yue, as well as the demons and monsters that survived the fire fox.

The demon sword slays demons, the ghost sword vanquishes evil spirits.

It devours the bodies of demons and evil spirits, sharpening the blades of its magical artifacts and making them stronger and stronger!

One player attacked while the other supported, demonstrating remarkable teamwork.

Gu Qing had had enough of the terrible teammates in the Heavenly Palace. Suddenly, he found himself cooperating with such a war god, which was incredibly satisfying. He felt for the first time that his teammates weren't all a burden.

The Red Fox Guards following behind them were somewhat out of sync and were gradually blocked by the demons and monsters that were closing in. The adjutant, Bai Jing, was so angry that he almost ground his teeth to powder. Gu Qing's position used to be his!

He is the one who has the best rapport with the Red King.

Tu Shan Yue also felt incredibly comfortable. With just a glance, Gu Qing was able to accurately understand her meaning and remove the evil spirits that were blocking her way.

It can only be said that this is a consensus reached by the combat intuition of battle veterans, rather than a tacit understanding cultivated over a long period of time.

The Nine Demon Dragons coldly watched the two who rushed forward.

He transformed back into human form, his wicked and effeminate face filled with arrogance.

"So what if a mere Venerable One joins forces? I have already gained the favor of the Blood Sea and acquired an immortal body. Moreover, I possess the power of demons and monsters, my true spirit is indestructible, and I command all evil. Even if the Azure Sky Immortal Emperor were here, I would still be confident of victory!"

Gu Qing was perceptive and sensed something was amiss when she heard these words.

In his judgment, the Azure Lan Immortal Emperor was a powerhouse comparable to the upper level of the fifth rank. How could Jiu Xi have such confidence?

He soon witnessed it firsthand.

With Gu Qing's help, Tu Shan Yue successfully broke into the Demon Dragon Army, suspending the Blood Fiend Heavenly Fox Spear above her head and spinning it rapidly, pouring a massive amount of demonic power into it. Behind her, the nine tails spread out in a row like a peacock spreading its tail.

This is a unique technique commonly used by cultivators in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Because the power he cultivates is deeply integrated with the principles of law, pouring in magical power is his ultimate move, which deeply captures the true meaning of the "Great Brick Flying" technique.

"Star-Slaying Spear, Annihilate!"

Like a strike that annihilates a star, it tore through space, leaving a trail of dark light, and suddenly struck the Nine Shamans.

Gu Qing quickly flew forward and hugged the exhausted Tu Shanyue.

Both of them stared intently at the demon dragon.

The chaotic light vanished, and Jiu Xi had transformed into the body of a demonic dragon. The right half of his body was completely erased, yet no blood dripped out.

Instead, the flesh and blood keep wriggling, rapidly growing back the missing flesh, blood, muscles and bones.

"interesting."

With one arm around Gu Qing's neck, Tu Shan Yue didn't care about the difference between men and women, but instead explained things to Gu Qing.

"Nine Shamans are a traitorous species from the Hundred-Eyed Demon Dragon clan. They are born with three heads and possess three different personalities."

"Now it should have completely devoured the two-headed demon that coexisted within its body, and after cultivating the Blood Sea Demon Art, it underwent a mutation and grew nine heads. This kind of immortal regenerative power is only possessed by the Blood Sea Demon Lords."

Gu Qing wasn't too concerned about that; he was more interested in something else.

"Symbiotic demons?"

"The Hundred-Eyed Demon Dragon clan possesses a unique talent: from birth, a demon is nurtured within their body to enslave them in battle."

Gu Qing: "..."

Okay, he now knows the real culprit behind the ambush, but enslavement? It's probably been reversed long ago. The Nine-Tails has completely devoured the demons and is no longer considered a demon being.

If the Hundred-Eyed Demon Dragon, one of the eight tribes of the demon realm, were enslaved by the demons born within its body and cooperated with the Blood Sea Demon Lords who had the desire to destroy the world, it would not be so strange.

Because evil spirits originate from the Abyss of Ruins and gain spirituality from destruction, their instinct is to destroy the Three Thousand Realms and drag all living beings into the Abyss of Ruins.

It's truly a case of a turtle and a mung bean falling in love.

This force seems highly feasible.

"What are you thinking?"

Tu Shanyue suddenly asked a question, and Gu Qing smiled nonchalantly.

"It's alright. Since we can't kill him, let's focus on defense."

"Then let's retreat, don't wait for him to recover."

Gu Qing retreated as instructed, and none of the surrounding demons and monsters could withstand a single blow.

However, Jiu Xi has fully recovered.

"You come and go as you please? What do you take me for?!"

"Heavenly Demon Banner, go!"

Gu Qing's eyes lit up. He saw the Nine Shamans throw out a black flag, which stood in mid-air and grew larger in the wind. Soon, a giant flag a thousand meters high stood in front of him.

Countless terrifying-looking demons and a few demon kings emerged from it, putting immense pressure on the entire battlefield, not to mention Gu Qing, who was being specifically targeted.

The Nine Shamans were even more smug, not believing that the two Venerables would survive such an offensive.

Then... he saw a white flag emerge from between Gu Qing's eyebrows, which also grew in the wind and quickly transformed into a giant flag a thousand meters long, facing the Heavenly Demon Flag from afar.

The surging Holy Heavenly Demon is the opposite of the Heavenly Demon.

Wherever they passed, countless demons were converted and entered the white flags. In no time, they transformed into the appearance of sages and emerged to import the Latin.

"asshole!"

Heaven knows how furious he is now, and he also understands why the demons he released into the Great Black Heaven Domain disappeared during the last ambush. It turns out that this kid stole them.

Gu Qing's Holy Heaven Demon Banner surged in power, increasing the number of Heavenly Demons from three thousand to five thousand. Tu Shan Yue, who was in his arms, recovered a little from her exhaustion and jumped down on her own initiative.

"You're quite capable; you can even influence a celestial demon."

"This is the result of the teachings of a sage, not a result of indoctrination."

Tu Shan Yue: "..."

However, Jiu Xi, who was already furious to the extreme, did not let the two go. With a movement, he traversed space and arrived in front of them.

"die!"

The dragon's claws pressed down.

The space around him was actually fixed and broken like a biscuit. Even when Gu Qing activated the Void-Piercing Boots, there was no reaction. Jiu Xi's mutterings just now were not just boasting! He really had some skill.

Gu Qing's expression was solemn as he returned his two swords to his dantian.

A feather fan appeared in his hand—a superior-grade magic weapon, the Heaven-Burning Feather Fan. This was the pinnacle of Gu Qing's weapon-refining skills and one of the most suitable trump cards for him to unleash his mastery of fire magic.

"Burning the heavens and boiling the seas... The Crimson Emperor's Edict!"

The former is a magical artifact with its own supernatural power, which can be used by injecting magic power, while the latter is a great fire-based supernatural power created by Zhu Rong!
It is based on the Three Thousand Great Dao Flames and has the power of the Zhou Tian as its source.

Gu Qing waved his fan.

The dark clouds dispersed, and heavenly fire scorched the world!
A full third of the vast North Sea was ablaze with towering flames, a manifestation of the natural fire elemental energy of the entire North Sea region.

All of them flowed into the Crimson Emperor's Edict in front of Gu Qing.

"go."

This move will incinerate the North Sea and vanquish evil spirits! (End of Chapter)
