Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

"As long as you get what you want and create some chaos to help me attract attention, that will suffice."

"Okay?"

The White-Haired Demon Lord, the Devouring Demon Dragon, and the Peerless Demon Saint nodded repeatedly. Such an opportunity to make a fortune was rare, especially since it could also help their cultivation.

The Devouring Demon Dragon grinned.

"Don't worry, sister. I cultivate the Blood Path and love killing the most. The blood and killing atmosphere in this Western Wilderness is so strong that I'm bound to cause some trouble."

"It would be such a waste to waste so much blood food."

The White-Haired Demon Lord and the Peerless Demon Saint also made their promises.

"What the Ghost Mother said is exactly what we have been thinking. It's settled then. Let's set off."

"Alright."

The majority of the tens of thousands of people were immediately divided into four teams, each with only a few thousand people. The promises of the powerful demonic cultivators were all bullshit, and the Phoenix Ghost Mother naturally did not really believe them.

But she didn't believe that the three old devils would really ignore such a golden opportunity. In any case, as long as they made a move on the treasures of the Western Wilderness, it would definitely attract attention.

The Vajra Glazed Mountain she casually mentioned is a renowned treasure throughout the entire Cangwu cultivation world; how could she possibly try to steal it?

It's enough to serve as a pretext to conceal her true purpose!

She possesses two souls within one body, a gift from birth.

The main body cultivates the demonic path, focusing on the physical body, while the soul body cultivates the ghost path and has obtained four-tenths of the power of the Heavenly Netherworld Lord. In her eyes, the Western Wilderness is like a paradise for ghosts.

The vengeful spirits, deathly aura, demonic souls, yin energy... all the dark and evil things in the world, the most yin and evil energies, are born under endless slaughter, and she is drooling with desire for them.

There was even an instinctive urge to open the gates of the underworld and unleash countless evil spirits to attack the Cangwu cultivation world.

She didn't care about the "Nine Hundred Miles of Blood River" or the "Heavenly Mountain Snow Spring," and the "Diamond Glazed Mountain" was just so-so, far less attractive to her than the battlefield of the Burial Valley.

"Demons, sneak underground and plant these flags in their proper places according to my instructions."

"Yes!"

"Respect the Demon Mother's command!"

With everything arranged in an orderly manner, the Phoenix Ghost Mother murmured to herself, "Yin Tian Ghost Emperor, you are not worthy to be the born Netherworld Lord. I am the true darling of the Netherworld!"

"Just wait and see, the world will eventually return to darkness!"

…………

The battlefield of Burial Valley.

As the intensity of the war escalated and the blood feuds became endless, human cultivators began to suffer large-scale losses. This was unavoidable, as magical power eventually ran out, and elixirs were not an unlimited supply.

If they cannot return to the war artifact before it is exhausted, there is a very high probability that they will die halfway there.

The demon race is diverse, and flying, escaping into the earth, and swimming in the sea are all racial talents. In particular, after exhausting their demon essence, they can still fight human cultivators with their physical strength in their original demon form.

One thing must be admitted: the demon race is more suited to large-scale warfare than the human race, and their combat power is generally stronger.

In addition to their numerical advantage, even with Gu Qing and others repeatedly reducing their numbers, they actually held the upper hand. However, their low morale allowed the human race to maintain the upper hand for several days.

The situation is now trending towards a more even balance of power.

One of them is a "ground-walking mountain armor demon," skilled in concealment and burrowing underground, who specifically chooses the opportunity when human cultivators return to the spirit boat to replenish and rest to launch surprise attacks.

If the first attack fails, it will burrow underground and flee.

If successful, whether through severe injury or death, it would reduce the number of human cultivators in the army. In such cases, cultivators with command skills would be needed to devise specialized strategies. For example, Xue Shen'an, although her cultivation level is only at the lower sixth rank, possesses exceptional command abilities.

Upon discovering this, they will dispatch powerful individuals to use the supernatural technique "Turning the Earth into Steel" to transform the land where humans stood into a forbidden zone for earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magical escape technique).

When attacked by flying monsters, they joined forces with the array masters of the Twelve Immortal Mountains to set up an "anti-flying array," countering each attack with their own unique abilities.

Furthermore, taking advantage of their overall situation, they mobilized multiple mobile squads to pick off the most skilled members of the demon race one by one, gradually eroding the demon army of the Four Wildernesses, consolidating their advantage while constantly tearing them apart.

There are also many disadvantages to having too many.

Poor communication makes it easy for the battlefield to be divided, and many monsters die in inexplicable ambushes, even though they are the ones with the greater numbers.

Instead, they often encountered attacks from human cultivators.

This highlights the importance of tactical acumen. The demon race clearly lacks talent in this area, or rather, under years of oppressive rule, only those at the sixth rank and above have the right to speak.

Driven by mutual dissatisfaction, a desire for credit and the urge to attack, and other factors, only about 60 million demon soldiers remained, each fighting their own battles.

In this all-out war, most of Gu Qing's acquaintances and old friends came, but they couldn't participate in the highest-level power struggles and their presence was not high, which was unavoidable.

This is both an opportunity and a trial. If we survive, the resources of the human race will explode, and everyone will have a bright future.

Gu Qing here.

The siege had just ended, and he had almost wiped out all the high-ranking members of the demon race in the ancient wilderness.

Those lower and middle-ranking white bone demons were killed instantly and without explanation by him using the Netherworld Ghost-Slaying Sword and the Heavenly Will Demon-Slaying Sword, which were combined in one move.

Both of these are top-grade, heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, and are highly targeted.

It even gave birth to unique "Demon-Slaying Dao Patterns" and "Ghost-Slaying Dao Patterns," which will become even more powerful when his cultivation level increases and they are upgraded to top-grade spiritual treasures.

As for the Corpse King, it was burned into black water by his Three Thousand Great Dao Flames, and the other Thorn Bone Demon was also swallowed whole by Devouring Heaven and Earth. They were all poured into the Netherworld Gourd and turned into raw materials for producing the Yin Yuan Pearl.

The battlefield was chaotic, and very few people noticed Gu Qing, but there were some.

All the powerful members of the White Bone lineage perished in battle.

The demon army brought from the ancient wilderness immediately lost its backbone. Some went with the flow and joined the ranks of other demon lords, while others turned and fled, only to be killed by the demon race's supervising troops.

Blood flowed like rivers, the earth was completely soaked, and the blood accumulated and spread, threatening to become rivers, lakes and seas!

"almost."

The great battle at Burial Valley has lasted for ten days and ten nights since the challenge began, and the energy and spirit of the lower and middle levels on both sides have been weakened to the limit.

Everyone is on edge, it's a matter of who will give in first.

Corpses piled up like mountains, smoke filled the air, and Gu Qing stood tall in the sky, his aura surging.

The sea of ​​fire, its color like crystal, completely obscured the sky.

Flame Lord's Secret Manual: Heavenly Fire Annihilates the World!

This is a supreme divine power, a screen-clearing ultimate move. Countless glazed flames transform into mountain-sized fireballs, hovering above the heads of the Four Desolate Demon Army.

Each glass fireball is a central point, like a formation.

Countless glazed flame spears shot out, and anyone below the fifth rank who touched them would die instantly or be annihilated upon contact!
Such exertion left Gu Qing somewhat breathless, even with his magical power. This technique wasn't unique to him, but in the midst of a dangerous battlefield, it wouldn't be wise to weaken himself.

But when the time comes to make the final decision, it's well worth it.

"—It's time to end this!" (End of Chapter)
