Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Qi Yan, the demon general, murmured, "Only the legendary World-Destroying Warship has such power."

Before this colossal vessel that reaches for the heavens, any words seem utterly inadequate.

Even though the giant ship appeared to have been through a fierce battle and was severely damaged, it still exuded a world-destroying aura.

Endless pure demonic energy emanated from it, and only a small amount seeped out of the light screen before condensing into a thick barrier of demonic energy.

The "world-destroying warship" mentioned by the Demon General Yanhuang is actually quite appropriate.

Only when dealing with a single interface is it worthwhile to use such a behemoth.

The Demon General of Ghosts gripped his beard tightly: "The World Annihilation Warship is a supreme treasure of the human race, so why is it in the hands of a Demon Ancestor?"

Chen Yuan's gaze slowly swept across the giant ship, and he said in a low voice, "No wonder that Shattered Heaven King at the Dao Severing Realm was no match for the Demon Ancestor, and the Green Mantis Realm was completely shattered..."

Every demon has heard of the legends of the World-Destroying Warship.

This is a supreme treasure crafted by the human race using mechanical arts. It is as large as a mountain and can carry an army of hundreds of thousands of cultivators. It can traverse the void and break through boundaries, possessing the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.

When the Spirit Realm invaded the Demon Realm, the human race dispatched twelve world-destroying warships, which ran rampant in the Demon Realm, maneuvering freely and defeating the demon race so decisively that they were routed.

The demon race once lost two continents to the invasion. If it weren't for the Great Sage Turtle's heroic act of saving the world with his own body, the race would have been wiped out.

After that battle, the reputation of the World Destroyer Warship became deeply ingrained in the hearts of the demon race, and everyone who heard of it turned pale with fear.

This is a supreme weapon used by the human race to conquer all the heavens and myriad realms. It represents the highest level of mastery achieved through the combination of mechanical arts, weapon crafting, array formations, and talisman making.

Each of these world-destroying warships, though far less valuable than the Xuan Tian spiritual treasure, is still above the Tong Tian spiritual treasure, and only Mahayana cultivators can control them.

Over the past 300,000 years, the demon race has learned countless supernatural powers and secret techniques from the human race, mastered all kinds of cultivation arts, and even made considerable achievements in the mechanical arts that the human race is proud of, creating many treasures for the human race.

But the demon race had tried countless times to build the World Destroyer Warship, yet they were never able to.

Such a deadly treasure, capable of influencing the course of a war, requires the combined power of an entire sect, the involvement of tens of thousands of weapon refiners, and the expenditure of thousands upon thousands of years to forge.

It is said that after a human cultivator advances to the Mahayana stage, the first thing they must do is to build a world-destroying warship as their vehicle for conquering all the heavens and myriad worlds.

Those Mahayana cultivators without the World-Destroying Warship are called "pseudo-Mahayana" in the Spirit Realm, and are considered inferior to other Mahayana cultivators.

However, most demons scoffed at this rumor, believing that even without the World-Destroying Warship, Mahayana cultivators possessed unparalleled strength and long lifespans.

At most, it's just a means of conquering other worlds, not as good as those Mahayana cultivators who built world-destroying warships.

However, Mahayana cultivators are already at the top of all the heavens and myriad realms. Like the Great Sage of the Burning Demon Realm, their only pursuit is to ascend to the Immortal Realm and live as long as the heavens. Why would they be obsessed with conquering other realms?

When Chen Yuan heard this rumor from other demon generals, he was skeptical and quickly put it out of his mind.

He was still a long way from the Refinement of Emptiness realm, and he didn't know where to find the fourth type of True Spirit Blood. The Mahayana realm was too far away, and the World Annihilation Warship was even more elusive.

But he never expected that, not long after advancing to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, this legendary treasure for conquest would appear before his eyes, and in such a shocking way.

The old green mantis stood frozen in place, staring blankly at the world-destroying giant ship, without uttering a word.

Iron-Winged Demon General suddenly awoke, his face filled with wild joy: "It is said that all the Great Sages have been desperately seeking the World-Destroying Warship but have been unable to obtain it. If we simply report this matter to the Mountain-Moving Great Sage, what a great achievement that would be!"

"Let alone the Demon King, even if we want to reach the Demon Saint level in the future, we may not be without any chance!"

Yanhuang Demon General nodded emphatically: "That's right! Thanks to Fellow Daoist Beiming's suggestion, we decided to come here to investigate and have seen this world-destroying warship with our own eyes."

"A blood-red sun whose secrets are unknown is worlds apart from a roughly intact world-destroying warship."

"This matter will surely alarm the Great Sage Moving Mountains, who will bestow countless treasures upon us. We will all have the opportunity to break through the shackles of our bloodline and reach realms we never dared to dream of before."

The demon general, who had previously opposed investigating the Blood Sun, now seemed less composed, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes: "If we board this world-destroying behemoth first and find a few treasures, the reward will likely surpass even that of the Great Sage Moving Mountains..."

Both Yanhuang Demon General and Tieyi Demon General showed interest. Qiyan Demon General looked at the aimless wandering corpses and frowned, saying, "This light barrier is blocking our way. These corpses also seem to be patrolling around, guarding the World Destroyer Warship. It may not be easy to break through."

Ironwing Demon General sighed with reluctance, "Fellow Daoist Qiyan is right. Although this World Annihilation Warship is severely damaged and has even capsized, it is the mount of the Demon Ancestor."

"It is unknown what kind of protective measures have been left inside, and it is definitely not something that we demon generals can touch."

The demon general Guixiao was still unwilling to give up: "With such an opportunity before us, how can we leave empty-handed? Let's try it first. If it really doesn't work, then we can retreat."

"Fellow Daoist Beiming strongly urged us to come and investigate the Blood Sun. Now the World-Destroying Giant Ship is almost within reach. What is your opinion?"

All four demon generals looked at Chen Yuan, who was gazing quietly at the World Destroyer Warship, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, seemingly lost in thought.

Meeting the gazes of the four demon generals, he withdrew his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Fellow Daoist Guixiao's words are not without reason."

"We have gone through countless hardships and trekked all the way here, and have killed several bone beasts. We are extremely exhausted. If we were to retreat now, I would be very unwilling."

"However, this world-destroying behemoth is, after all, a remnant of the Demon Ancestor, and should not be taken lightly."

"If we trigger the hidden treasure formations within, or even just disturb these seemingly clumsy corpses, we may very well lose our lives here. It would be better to retreat now."

A hint of displeasure flashed in the eyes of the Ghost Demon General: "We came here to investigate the Blood Sun only on the advice of Fellow Daoist Beiming. We were just one step away from boarding the World Annihilation Ship, but Fellow Daoist is now advising us to turn back?"

Chen Yuan said calmly, "In my opinion, we should be cautious when danger is necessary and prudent when stability is required. We should not shrink back, but we should also not throw our lives away."

"The situation under the blood sun is unclear, so we must investigate to avoid being disappointed and incurring the Great Sage's punishment."

“Now that we have witnessed the world-destroying giant ship, even if we retreat, we will still receive a great reward from the Great Sage. Just as Fellow Daoist Guixiao said before, why create any more trouble?”

"It is extremely difficult for us to cultivate to the level of Demon General. Fellow Daoist Guixiao is always cautious. Do not lose your composure because of the treasure in front of you and waste your cultivation."

Qi Yan, the Demon General, also advised, "Fellow Daoist Bei Ming is absolutely right. Fellow Daoist Gui Xiao must not be blinded by opportunities. How could we possibly touch the Demon Ancestor's mount?"

Yanhuang Demon General looked solemnly at Guixiao Demon General: "I have known you for many years, and you know that I am impetuous, but you also know that this matter is absolutely unacceptable. Are you perhaps even less capable than me?"

The demon general stood frozen in place, speechless, his eyes shifting.

After a long while, he suddenly sighed, bowed deeply to Chen Yuan and the others, and said with a bitter smile, "I have been cautious all my life and have experienced countless life and death, but I almost became obsessed with my own delusions."

“Under normal circumstances, I would never act in this way.”

"However, my lifespan is coming to an end, and I am also shocked by this world-destroying giant ship. My desires, stirred by the demonic energy, have swelled up again. I only want to board the giant ship, seek opportunities, and ascend to heaven in one step."

"Fortunately, my fellow Daoists reminded me, especially Fellow Daoist Beiming, whose words were truly enlightening."

"Only by getting rid of this last bit of greed could I have done so; otherwise, this place would probably be my burial ground."

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "Fellow Daoist Gui Xiao, you flatter me. I am merely stating the facts."

"Although our demon race is an enemy of the human race and values ​​bloodline and physical body above all else, the path of cultivation is the same regardless of the route."

“When we reach a certain level, we also need to cultivate our minds and right thoughts, and remain impartial and unbiased, so that we can go further on the path of cultivation.”

Upon hearing this, the four demon generals all seemed to understand something.

Qi Yan, the Demon General, praised, "Fellow Daoist Bei Ming is indeed worthy of being a Demon General of the Holy Clan. His understanding of the path of cultivation is far superior to ours."

Chen Yuan remained noncommittal, turned to look at the towering ship in the distance, and said in a deep voice, "This place is not suitable for us to stay any longer. We should retreat as soon as possible, return to the Burning Demon Realm, and report the matter of the World-Destroying Warship to Can Yuan, the Thunder Mountain Demon King, and then to the Blood Tooth Demon Saint and the Mountain-Moving Great Saint, so as not to delay and cause any unforeseen complications."

The four demon generals nodded in agreement and left without lingering.

The old green mantis also came to its senses from the shock. It was the weakest of them all and was only able to come to this place because of the protection of the divine stone.

Faced with the World Destroyer Warship, which could even erode the very essence of the interface, Chen Yuan and his five companions were so fearful that it dared not approach it.

On their return journey, the group avoided the sleeping bone beasts along the way and their speed was much faster than on the way there. They flew out of the Sea of ​​Death in just one day.

No longer worried about waking the bone beast, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their solemn expressions softened, and they flew towards the underground cavern.

The four demon generals were all eager to report the matter of the World-Destroying Warship to the Great Sage Moving Mountains in exchange for rewards, and were eager to return home.

But before that, we need to deal with the Green Mantis King properly to avoid any unforeseen circumstances.

Just as everyone had fled over a hundred miles, Chen Yuan suddenly changed his expression, stopped, turned to look at the distant Sea of ​​Deathly Aura, and shouted sharply, "Not good! A bone beast is chasing after us! Fellow Daoists, please be careful!"

Everyone was startled and stopped, turning around to look, their faces full of vigilance.

Just then, a murderous glint flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes, a pair of black wings stretched out from his back, his black hair turned snow-white, his eyes shone with silver-white lightning, and his aura surged, sweeping away his listlessness and directly approaching the Refining Void Demon King!
He flipped his hand and took out the Cangming Halberd. In a flash, he appeared behind the Iron-Winged Demon General. A thick layer of black blade extended from his arms, covering the crescent-shaped halberd blade.

Chen Yuan suddenly swung the Cangming Halberd, and before the Iron-Winged Demon General could react, his head was severed, and a fountain of blood gushed out, raining down like rain.

The moment the demon core of the Iron-Winged Demon General left the corpse, Chen Yuan grabbed it, unleashed his true essence, shredded the demon soul, and stored it in his mustard seed ring, letting the corpse, which had transformed into its true form, fall from the sky.

Everyone was shocked and retreated rapidly, releasing their sealing power to lock down this area.

Qi Yan, the Demon General, was filled with shock and anger: "Fellow Daoist Bei Ming, what is the meaning of this? Why do you want to kill Fellow Daoist Tie Yi!"

Chen Yuan did not answer, his expression as cold as ever. With a flap of his wings, he instantly teleported behind the Yanhuang Demon Commander, and with a swing of the Cangming Halberd, he aimed straight for the commander's head.

Yanhuang Demon General roared and raised his black stone staff to defend himself. Deep red magma surged and radiated intense light.

But this peculiar magical weapon broke instantly under the Cangming Halberd, sending shards of stone flying and lava cascading down, transforming into a crimson rain of fire.

The Cangming Halberd is a first-grade spiritual treasure weapon, close to a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure. It is covered with a black blade, which adds to its sharpness. Naturally, even a third-grade spiritual treasure weapon would find it difficult to withstand its sharpness.

However, the shattering of the black stone staff slowed the Cangming Halberd's momentum slightly, allowing the Yanhuang Demon General to narrowly dodge the attack and escape using the momentum.

Limited by the sealing power, Chen Yuan was unable to use the teleportation technique again within three breaths.

However, his speed was still far superior to that of the Flaming Demon General. With a flap of his wings, his figure turned into a blur and he caught up in an instant, slashing down with his halberd once more.

Yanhuang Demon General's eyes bulged out. At this critical moment of life and death, he held nothing back. With a flicker of his body, he was about to transform into his true form for a desperate fight.

But at that moment, a wisp of white flame appeared mysteriously in his soul space, attached itself to his soul, and rose up violently.

Caught off guard, Yanhuang Demon General was suddenly struck by a sharp pain, and a violent killing intent rose in his heart, slowing down the flow of his demonic power for a moment.

Before it could transform into its true form, the Cangming Halberd had already pierced deep into its vital heart, shattering its demonic soul and extracting a crimson demon core.

Chen Yuan retracted the Cangming Halberd, and the corpse of the Yanhuang Demon General finally transformed into its true form, a hundred-zhang-tall giant tiger covered in fiery red fur, falling downwards. Against the backdrop of the scarlet fire rain, it looked utterly desolate.

Chen Yuan stored the demon core in his mustard seed ring, then looked up to see that Demon General Qiyan and Demon General Guixiao had already separated. Demon General Guixiao fled into the distance, while Demon General Qiyan descended with a burst of light and plunged into the ground.

The old green mantis stood to one side, the divine stone in its hand shimmering with spiritual light, forming a colorful protective shield around its body, which trembled uncontrollably.

Chen Yuan glanced at the old Green Mantis with his silver eyes and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Fu, please be patient. After I have dealt with these two fellow Daoists, we will talk in detail."

As soon as he finished speaking, he flapped his wings and instantly teleported a thousand feet away to chase after the Demon General Qiyan.

However, the Demon General Qiyan used some kind of supernatural power to escape at an extremely fast speed, disappearing thousands of feet in the blink of an eye, and Chen Yuan was unable to catch up.

Chen Yuan's silver eyes flashed, and his figure disappeared, leaving only a few streaks of lightning in his place. Accompanied by a thunderclap, he appeared three thousand feet above the Qiyan Demon General.

Upon seeing this, the Demon General Qiyan's pupils contracted, and his escape speed increased even further.

But after several claps of thunder, Chen Yuan appeared below Qi Yan Demon General, blocking his path.

Qi Yan, the demon general, had no choice but to stop. He looked at Chen Yuan with surprise and uncertainty, forcing a smile: "What does Fellow Daoist Bei Ming mean by this? I have no grudge against you and am willing to give up all the rewards..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Yuan swung his halberd down, and the Zhu Yan True Fire, following that mysterious connection, surged into the soul space of the Qi Yan Demon General, scorching his soul.

Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit; Chen Yuan never makes a careless move, always striving for absolute certainty.

Qi Yan, the Demon General, had his soul burned, his face contorted in anger, and he roared, "Bei Ming, you've gone too far!"

He gathered his divine soul power and forcibly suppressed the Zhu Yan True Fire. With a flicker, he transformed into his true form, a pangolin about thirty feet long, covered with hard, deep yellow scales. He curled up into a ball and fell downwards.

The Cangming Halberd landed on the pangolin's scales, and a thick layer of yellow light appeared. The sharp halberd blade sliced ​​off a layer of the light, but the pangolin itself remained unharmed.

Chen Yuan gave chase. The pangolin was large but not fast, and he easily caught up with it.

Chen Yuan's true essence surged, and a ten-zhang-long purplish-black illusory halberd condensed outside the Cangming Halberd, which slashed down and heavily struck the pangolin's body.

One layer of yellow light was removed, but several layers remained. The pangolin, aided by this immense force, fell even faster, now only a few hundred feet from the ground.

Chen Yuan's silver eyes narrowed and flashed with lightning. He suddenly stopped, flipped his hand, took out the Purple Kui Thunder Drum, gripped the drumstick tightly, and struck it heavily!
Boom!

The sound of drums was like thunder, dark clouds gathered, and silver snakes danced wildly.

The already dim sky grew even darker, with only streaks of lightning flashing within it. These lightning bolts descended from the sky like dragons or serpents, soaring and striking the pangolin with deafening roars.

A bloodcurdling scream emanated from the pangolin's body, so loud that even thunder could not drown it out.

Under the shadow of dozens of lightning bolts, the thick yellow light covering the pangolin's body was visibly sheared away. Then, its thick, fine scales turned charred black and torn apart by the lightning strikes, revealing the tender flesh inside.

When the thunder stopped and the dark clouds dispersed, the dignified mid-level demon general, with his exceptional defensive skills and the bloodline of the pangolin, was on the verge of death.

It finally landed on the ground, but had no more strength to use its innate supernatural powers, so it disappeared into the earth.

Chen Yuan sneered and descended with his escape light. So what if he had the bloodline of a pangolin? Under the power of the Kui Niu, he was no match for it.

He wielded the Cangming Halberd, ending the life of the Qiyan Demon General. Without hastily retrieving the demon core, he unleashed a burst of light and soared into the sky, chasing after the Guixiao Demon General who had already fled dozens of miles away.

The demon general Guixiao fled for his life. His true form was not a bird demon, and his innate supernatural power had nothing to do with escape techniques.

But at this moment, he was covered in a bloody light, and he was actually using a blood escape technique, with several fierce ghosts supporting him from below, making his escape speed extremely fast.

Chen Yuan killed three demon generals in succession, leaving only the Ghost Demon General. He was unwilling to waste his true energy by using the Thunder Escape Technique again, so he stayed close behind the Ghost Demon General for thirty miles.

The chase lasted for fifteen minutes, but the distance between them did not decrease at all.

Chen Yuan frowned, flipped his hand to take out the Guanghan Bow, and suddenly drew back the bowstring, shooting out a series of long arrows of spiritual light, heading straight for the Ghost Demon General's vital point in the back.
The long arrow of spiritual light was as fast as lightning, arriving within thirty miles in an instant, comparable to teleportation. It was formed from Chen Yuan's pure and profound true essence, making it exceptionally sharp.

The demon general dared not take the attack head-on, and dodged in all directions, his speed suddenly decreasing, and the distance between the two finally began to shorten.

This continued for another quarter of an hour, until the two were only ten miles apart.

Chen Yuan put away the Guanghan Bow and used the Thunder Escape Technique repeatedly until he finally arrived in front of the Ghost Demon General, blocking his path.

The demon general Guixiao stared intently at Chen Yuan, his face ashen, and said, word by word, "You are the man in black. You are the one who secretly attacked the demon general of the Corrosion Wood Cave and instigated the great war between the Thunder Mountain Cave and the Corrosion Wood Cave!"

Chen Yuan put away the Guanghan Bow and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Guixiao is quite well-informed. Although he is in the Canyuan Cave, he knows everything about the Shimu Cave."

The demon general said coldly, "Who dares to stand idly by when the demon kings are fighting?"

"How hateful that Qiyan is so stupid, he didn't see through your true colors, and instead invited you to join forces to explore the interface fragments, which led to my death here as well!"

Chen Yuan said calmly, "I originally had no intention of killing you four fellow Daoists, but there is a broken world-destroying warship in this fragment of the interface, which forced me to kill you. I hope Fellow Daoist Gui Xiao will not take offense."

The Demon General Gui Xiao's face was full of resentment: "Just one step away, just one step away! I could have reported the matter of the World Destroying Warship to the Great Sage, received a reward, advanced to the rank of high-level Demon General, and extended my lifespan by attempting to become a Demon King."

"Who exactly are you? You clearly possess the bloodline of the Kun fish, yet you can wield thunderous divine powers. Could it be that you possess two bloodlines? That's absolutely impossible!"

"Who is backing you up? First, you instigated the war between demon kings, and then you attacked and killed four fellow demon generals. How will you explain this to the Demon King Shenyuan and the Demon King Leishan after you return to the Burning Demon Realm?"

"The Annihilation Warship is an incomparably precious treasure. No matter whether you are backed by a Demon King or a Demon Saint, don't even think about hoarding it. Sooner or later, you will expose your weaknesses and die without a burial place!"

Chen Yuan remained calm, his silver eyes growing even more majestic. He said indifferently, "That's none of your concern, Fellow Daoist Gui Xiao. As for my true identity, you will never know."

"I, Kun, will now send you on your way. With fellow Daoists Yanhuang, Qiyan, and Tieyi by your side, your journey to the Yellow Springs should not be lonely."

Having said that, he slowly raised the Cangming Halberd and pointed it at the Ghost Demon Commander.

The demon general smiled bitterly, raised his hand to form a hand seal, and the soul-summoning banner swayed without wind, summoning the giant python and the human scholar, who rushed towards Chen Yuan, emanating a tragic aura.

……

In no time, Chen Yuan had slain the demon general with his halberd.

The Ghost Demon General's strength was not much stronger than the other three Demon Generals, except for the two fierce ghosts who were quite troublesome.

However, the Zhu Yan True Fire is most effective against gods, souls, and ghosts. After Chen Yuan refined the demon core of the White Ape Demon King, the Zhu Yan True Blood in his body became extremely pure, and the power of the Zhu Yan True Fire also increased greatly.

The demon general fought desperately, but the two fierce ghosts couldn't hold out for long.

The giant python was burned to nothingness, while the human scholar was left with only a phantom image, his strength greatly reduced.

Without the control of the demon general, the human scholar stared blankly at Chen Yuan, no longer launching an attack.

Chen Yuan put away the Cangming Halberd. This treasure had drunk the blood of the four demon generals, and the Peng bird spirit hovered around his primordial spirit with satisfaction, constantly emitting triumphant cries.

His wings folded behind him, his white hair and silver eyes returned to normal, and his aura was deeply concealed. The series of battles had left almost no trace on him.

Chen Yuan looked at the ghost of the human scholar and sighed softly: "For the sake of being a fellow human cultivator, I, Chen, will spare a wisp of your soul for reincarnation."

Having said that, he raised his hand and pulled the Soul-Summoning Banner from afar. The True Fire of the Vermilion Demon surged into it, destroying the soul imprint. Then, with a thought, he severed the connection between the banner and the human scholar.

The human scholar's illusory body trembled, blinked, and the confusion in his eyes slowly disappeared, replaced by clarity.

He looked down at himself, then looked up at Chen Yuan and the soul-summoning banner in his hand, as if he had realized something. His eyes revealed a mixture of sadness and relief.

Chen Yuan released the Soul-Summoning Banner, and with a thought, his demonic aura transformed into pure spiritual energy. He clasped his hands in a bow to the human scholar and said softly, "Farewell, fellow Daoist."

The human scholar returned the greeting with clasped hands, a smile playing on his lips. His illusory body transformed into a stream of light from bottom to top and slowly dissipated.

He opened his mouth with difficulty and said, "I am... Cen Qing. Thank you... fellow Daoist for helping... me to be freed."

Chen Yuan's eyes widened in surprise: "Fellow Daoist, you still retain some intelligence?"

Cen Qing glanced at the corpse of the Ghost Demon General, his face full of hatred: "My strength is even a notch above that of the Ghost Demon General. Although I was turned into a vengeful ghost by him, I still retain a trace of intelligence."

“Every time he sends Cen into battle, he has to expend his vital essence to soothe Cen’s soul, otherwise he will suffer a backlash.”

His speech became more fluent, and he turned to look at Chen Yuan: "I don't have much time left, may I ask your esteemed name, fellow Daoist?"

Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "I am Chen Yuan. I ascended from the lower realm but ended up in the Burning Demon Realm. By chance, I killed this Ghost Demon Commander and helped you, fellow Daoist, escape from the Soul Summoning Banner."

Cen Qing looked on in astonishment: "Fellow Daoist Chen is actually an ascended cultivator? Then how did you manage to survive in the Demon Burning Realm...?"

He paused suddenly, then chuckled and shook his head: "I have said too much. Fellow Daoist helped me escape the Soul-Summoning Banner and attain rebirth. Such a great favor cannot go unreturned."

"Although I, Cen, have lost my life, my elder brother, Cen Po, is an elder of the Cold Crow Sect. He was already at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage three thousand years ago and was attempting to break through to the Void Refinement stage. I wonder if he has succeeded."

“If you ever enter the Spirit Realm, you may visit the Cold Crow Sect. Just tell my brother that you are at the Crying Spirit Cliff, in the Qixiu Cave, at the Frost Spirit Flower.” My brother will then know that you and I are bosom friends.

“Fellow Daoist, please recount what happened today. My elder brother will surely repay this debt of gratitude on my behalf.”

As Cen Qing finished speaking, his body dissipated into his chest. Chen Yuan nodded: "I will remember this. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely go to the Cold Crow Sect to inform Fellow Daoist Cen Po about Fellow Daoist Cen's passing."

Cen Qing smiled with relief: "Now I can rest assured."

He lowered his hands, looked down at the desolate land below, and smiled bitterly: "I, Cen Qing, am dying in such a desolate place..."

His body finally turned into a stream of light and vanished completely.

Chen Yuan remained silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly. He put away the demon core, mustard seed ring, and magnificent fur of the Ghost Demon General, and took out over a hundred catties of fresh blood.

He pondered for a moment, then hoisted the enormous corpse of the Ghost Demon General and flew away into the distance.

He and the demon general chased each other for over a thousand miles, already quite far from where they had fought.

But the old green mantis remained in place and did not leave. It was unclear whether it was out of fear after seeing Chen Yuan suddenly kill someone, or because it was confident that it had the divine stone in its hand and could perish with him at any time, so it was fearless.

Chen Yuan carried the corpse of the Ghost Demon General back to the old Green Mantis and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Fu, please follow me."

Having said that, he descended with his escape light, and the old green mantis hesitated for a moment before following suit.

Once on the ground, Chen Yuan, under the watchful gaze of the old green mantis, took away the mustard seed rings and demon materials from the corpses of the other three demon generals, and collected over a hundred catties of blood from each of them before stopping.

He approached the aged green mantis and said, "Presumably, Fellow Daoist Fu thinks that I, Kun, want to monopolize that World-Destroying Ship, which is why I suddenly attacked these four fellow Daoists..."

The aged green mantis gripped the divine stone tightly, staring at Chen Yuan, and said, word by word, "I beg Fellow Daoist Beiming to give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise I will have no choice but to crush the divine stone and perish together with you, to avoid being killed by you as well."
