I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 812 Both Walked into the Trap
Even the Demon Lord Xuanyou himself failed to capture Gu Yuanqing, so why would he only send his subordinate Heavenly Demons to take action?

Therefore, this scene was exactly what Gu Yuanqing had expected.

These two demonic thoughts are clearly those of a demon lord, but they are trying to use their demonic thoughts to follow the spatial rift in order to spy on Gu Yuanqing's background and location. They have made a mistake.

Gu Yuanqing did not stop the demonic thoughts from following the space opened up by the Heavenly Fishing Technique, but simply isolated the surrounding space to prevent the entering demonic thoughts from discovering the true nature of Beiquan Cave.

His palm still reached out into the void, and the majestic shadow of Beiquan Mountain continued to descend.

The Demon King of the Infernal Realm had experienced the power of this palm strike before. He was completely defeated by it back then, and even when the Demon Lord intervened, half of his original demonic seed was severed. The fear he felt towards it was deeply ingrained in his heart.

Seeing Gu Yuanqing's true form extend his palm, his aura not yet fully revealed, his power not yet fully formed, yet he tore through space and went away. But he was still a little slow, and was shaken out of the void by the power. The Great Annihilation Tribulation Sword followed. He opened the Boundless Demon Domain and used the Dao of Space to hold back the Great Annihilation Tribulation Sword. In an instant, he created thousands of clones. The primordial demon seed changed constantly in the clones. One clone after another was destroyed, and his vital energy was greatly damaged, but his main body escaped.

Although the Eclipse Demon King and the Wonderful Heart Demon King knew from Wujian that Gu Yuanqing's true power was terrifying, hearing about it and facing it in person were worlds apart. They were also a step too slow. When the power of this palm strike solidified, the sheer vast Daoist charm and the will to suppress all laws that it exuded were enough to shake the minds of the two demon kings, and the circulation of their demonic energy was stagnant.

The Demon King Miaoxin looked terrified. The warning signs coming from her spiritual sense made her tremble with fear. That feeling, which came from her life instinct and was facing a life-or-death crisis, told her that she absolutely could not fight back.

She screamed, and the celestial aura around her suddenly shed its disguise, with pink demonic light surging. She didn't hesitate to burn her own essence and unleashed the "Secret Technique of Escape Through the Void of Love Threads".

Thousands of threads of love transformed into a rainbow bridge spanning the void, and her demonic body instantly merged into it. In the nick of time, she attempted to escape thousands of miles away, but she coughed up a mouthful of blood midway, her light veil shattered, her hair disheveled, and she was in a terrible state.

The demon's body was covered in cracks, but it eventually burrowed underground and escaped the range of that palm strike.

The Eclipse Demon King was close to Gu Yuanqing and couldn't escape in time. Moreover, he was a sword cultivator who had fallen into demonic possession, and he still had an arrogance in his bones that allowed him to compete with the strong. Seeing the giant palm descending, he let out a fierce roar and used the sword energy he had created with all his strength to transform into a gray light that tore through the void, rising against the sky and fiercely slashing at the towering mountain shadow!

However, the moment the sword light touched the mountain shadow, it was like ice and snow encountering raging flames, quickly melting and disintegrating!
"Crack!"

The demonic sword in his hand made a cracking sound as it could no longer bear the weight, and cracks suddenly spread across its blade!
Immediately afterwards, immense power flowed through the sword, and the Moon Eclipse Demon King's right arm, which was holding the sword, exploded into a cloud of black mist. Then, half of his demonic body also shattered. He let out a miserable howl, his aura instantly weakened, and his eyes were filled with disbelief and horror.

Just then, two demonic wills, which were originally just exploring, descended from the void!

A demonic thought, entangled with the seven emotions, can manipulate the minds of living beings, transforming into a boundless vortex of emotions that drowns everything, attempting to distort the will of the suppressing palm force.

Another dark and profound aura, seemingly the final destination of all things, carrying the ultimate power of destruction and devouring, collided head-on with Beiquan Mountain Shadow!

"Boom——!!!"

It was as if two worlds had collided, fragments of laws flew everywhere, the Great Dao trembled, and the world lost its color.

The severely wounded Eclipse Demon King seized this opportunity, transformed into a sword light, and fled into the depths of the void in a sorry state, thus escaping with his life.

It was at this time.

Within the North Spring Cave, a demonic sound resounded.

"Got you!"

The Xuan You Demon Lord's words carried a hint of barely suppressed joy. Even as it engaged Gu Yuanqing in battle, it did not cease its pursuit of Gu Yuanqing's world.

In an instant, those two mighty primordial demonic thoughts bravely crossed the endless spatial barriers and descended upon this world!

The demonic energy surged, and the Seven Emotions Demon Lord was the first to take shape.

The swirling demonic energy, like rivers flowing into the sea, collapsed and condensed inward, revealing a handsome young man dressed in a moon-white robe.

His face was as fair as jade, with a faint smile on his lips. He gently waved a jade-bone folding fan in his hand, his posture leisurely and elegant. However, deep in his eyes, there was a faint and sinister aura, as if it stirred the joys and sorrows deep in people's hearts.

The figure of the Demon Lord Xuanyou also solidified, surrounded by dark demonic energy. The moment he stepped into the North Spring Cave Heaven, his gaze locked onto Gu Yuanqing, and his pupils suddenly contracted: "It's you!"

The Seven Emotions Demon Lord paused slightly, a hint of surprise on his face: "Gu Yuanqing?"

During the previous battle, he had also "seen" Gu Yuanqing with his demonic thoughts, but he hadn't paid much attention to a Hun Tian Undying before. It was only after hearing the words of the Xuan You Demon Lord that he recognized him.

Gu Yuanqing's expression remained calm as he leisurely asked, "Are you surprised to see me?"

The Demon Lord of the Dark Netherworld snorted coldly: "I didn't expect that you humans are also proficient in the art of clones. No wonder the two of you have the same aura, you were originally one person! No wonder you seem to only have the cultivation of the Undying Chaos Realm, but you have the combat power of a Void Immortal. It turns out you are also a Void Immortal clone."

Within this Northern Spring Cave Heaven, he couldn't see through Gu Yuanqing's true intentions at all, and naturally, a misunderstanding arose.

"You two are quite bold, actually daring to cross over." Gu Yuanqing chuckled, his gaze sweeping over the two, a hint of disappointment in his eyes. "Unfortunately, what came... was still just an avatar."

Swish!
The Seven Emotions Demon Lord closed his folding fan, gently tapped his palm, turned to look at the Profound Nether Demon Lord, and laughed, "Profound Nether, it seems that this human cultivator does not take us seriously."

The Demon Lord of the Dark Netherworld stood with his hands behind his back and calmly replied, "Perhaps the battle a few years ago gave him a slight illusion, making him think that he could be my opponent. Little did he know that back then, most of my original demonic thoughts were still dormant, and I did not exert my full strength."

The Seven Emotions Demon Lord smiled enigmatically: "Is that so? If it were truly that easy, why would you go to such lengths to find me to come along?"

The Demon Lord of Xuanyou remained expressionless, his tone calm and even: "I simply do not wish to monopolize this opportunity. Besides, there are many experts in a world, so he should be careful."

Upon hearing this, the Seven Emotions Demon Lord burst into laughter. He then turned his head and greedily scanned the North Spring Cave Heaven. Seeing that it was full of spiritual energy and naturally imbued with Daoist charm, he couldn't help but praise, "What a wonderful sacred place for cultivation! The abundance of spiritual energy and the clarity of the rules make it a great world."

The Demon Lord of the Mysterious Netherworld nodded slightly, sensing the subtle differences in this world, and praised, "Indeed, the Great Dao of this world is perfect, and it is definitely not a secret realm or cave heaven!"

"If we could also occupy this realm and use it as resources..." A burning light flashed in the eyes of the Seven Emotions Demon Lord, "Perhaps we could break through the shackles that have bound us for millions of years and glimpse the true path of the demons!"

They were overjoyed at that moment.

They have survived for millions of years, besieging the Nine Realms Divine Continent. They dare not completely exterminate the human race, but can only harvest them periodically like livestock. This is because if the human race dies, and they cannot find a new source of power, what awaits them is the gradual depletion of their original power and their demise.

The reason they tolerated the emergence of illusory immortals among humans was precisely because only power of the same level could effectively replenish their depleted essence. But once a true demon is achieved, everything will be different!
At that time, they will transcend their constraints, ascend to the Heaven of Freedom, and establish their own demon kingdom in the void, thereby radiating and controlling billions of mortal worlds, drawing endless resources, and from then on, they will no longer be in danger of destruction, enjoying true freedom and great ease!

Gu Yuanqing took in the greed and desire in the eyes of the two demon lords and chuckled, "It seems they see me as meat on their chopping block!"

As he spoke, with a thought, the entire power of the cave heaven pressed down on the two demon lord avatars.

This is not simply power, but the manifestation of the will of the entire cave world, the suppression of the laws of the Great Dao, the confinement of space, and the absolute obedience of everything in this world to its ruler!

In an instant, the overwhelming demonic energy surrounding the Demon Lord of the Dark Netherworld was forcibly suppressed back into his body.

He groaned, feeling as if every inch of his body was bound by invisible shackles, making it incredibly difficult to even lift a finger, and freezing the vast, boundless demonic energy within him.

Even the original demonic thoughts became sluggish, as if the operation of consciousness had slowed down, and each thought took dozens of times longer to take shape.

The composure on his face shattered instantly, replaced by disbelief and horror: "This is the suppression of the Great Dao! You are not a Void Immortal!"

Gu Yuanqing chuckled: "When did I ever say I was a illusory immortal?"

On the other side, the Seven Emotions Demon Lord was equally disheveled. He tried to invoke the Seven Emotions Law to disturb Gu Yuanqing's mind, but found that as soon as his power left his body, it was like a mud ox entering the sea, completely purified and devoured by the more magnificent and pure Dao of Heaven and Earth.

He looked panicked and tried to burn his primordial demonic seed to unleash his power and escape, but he soon realized that all of this was in vain.

In the blink of an eye, they completely lost the ability to resist.

If they were outside the cave, with their millions of years of accumulated experience and control over the laws of heaven and earth, these two demon lord avatars might still be able to contend with Gu Yuanqing.

But within this North Spring Cave Heaven, let alone their two avatars at the Void Immortal level, even the True God Ancestor of the Primordial Divine Sect would be powerless to resist!
"seal up!"

Gu Yuanqing uttered a single word, and his words became law.

Within the void of the cave, endless runes of law appeared, intertwining into two chains that wrapped around Xuan You and the Seven Emotions Demon Lord.

The two demon lords struggled fiercely, roaring repeatedly, but they were like insects trapped in amber. Their demonic bodies rapidly shrank under the chains, and were eventually completely sealed and compressed into a ball of light the size of a thumb.

One is dark and deep inside, as if containing endless emptiness; the other is colorful and ever-changing, as if reflecting all kinds of desires in the world.

Gu Yuanqing reached out and beckoned, and two orbs of light floated lightly into his palm.

He glanced down and chuckled, "I hadn't planned to go demon hunting anytime soon, but who would have thought... it would be such a pleasant surprise, coming right to my doorstep. Having this in hand saves me a lot of trouble."

He could sense that the purity of the original demonic thoughts of these two demon lords far exceeded that of the Boundless Demon King. Perhaps if he could completely refine their power, his soul would be able to reach the level of a Void Immortal, or even take another step or two further.

……

In another world.

Gu Yuanqing's clone stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance. He did not pursue the fleeing Heavenly Demon.

The Heavenly Demons are invisible and easily concealed; they are extremely difficult to hunt down unless they are first contained within a certain area.

Moreover, since he had sealed away a portion of the power of the two demon lords, the other demons would be of little use to him. Perhaps it would be better to save them for when he brought Miaoxuan over later, as they would be of much greater use to her than to him.

The only thing that intrigued Gu Yuanqing was how much of the Demon Lord's power he had taken over after entering the Northern Spring Cave Heaven.

"Very well, we'll know in the future. Let's first see what the Great Hao Dynasty's intentions are in the deal it has proposed to me."

He currently has enough resources to enhance his spiritual power. If he could obtain a method for refining the spirit from the Nine Realms Divine Continent, it would greatly benefit his cultivation.

His celestial realm is powerful, and he has comprehended countless great principles of heaven and earth. Therefore, he is destined to need even more vast divine soul power to control it and to further advance his own realm.

He stood for a moment, then turned and headed towards Wangxiang Pass.

……

At that very moment, in a place extremely far from the Nine Realms Divine Continent, two powerful auras soared into the sky, shaking the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. But in an instant, these auras disappeared completely without warning.

The two demon lords felt their clones disappear and the connection between them and their main bodies be completely severed. They were initially furious, but in an instant, they were filled with terror. What kind of power could be needed to instantly destroy their clones? Before they could find out the truth, they dared not reveal their location any further.

Within the Nine Realms of Divine Continent.

In the Imperial Palace of Yujing City.

Xuan Haoji, dressed in imperial robes, gazed into the distance with a furrowed brow, unsure of what had happened. However, the appearance of the Seven Emotions Demon Lord's aura meant that yet another Demon Lord had awakened prematurely, which was not good news for the Great Hao Divine Dynasty.

Tian Shu Fu Zun Li Yanshen, Zhou Tian Xing Gong Gong Zhu Xing Yan Dao Zun, and Tian Gong Ge Ge Zhu Zhan Sheng all sensed the aura and their hearts sank.

Ling Yi of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect was on the city of Wangxiang. He was closest to the previous battlefield and could vaguely sense a battle between Void Immortals in the distance, followed by the auras of two Demon Lords. He was astonished and somewhat puzzled.

Each of these experts from the Nine Realms Divine Continent felt an immense sense of unease.

The Seven Emotions Demon Lord has also awakened. Does this mean that the Myriad Evils Demon Lord will also awaken, and the Heavenly Demon Calamity may be imminent?
Ling Yi took a deep breath to calm his mind. There was no use thinking about it now. The Heavenly Demons were powerful and the human race was at a disadvantage. The only thing they could do now was to do their best to improve the strength of the human race. As for how the final battle would go, they could only do their best and leave the rest to fate!

He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance, waiting quietly. After a long while, he suddenly leaped up and transformed into a rainbow, disappearing into the distance.

A moment later, he landed on the summit of a mountain three thousand miles away, where a man in a blue robe was waiting with his hands behind his back!
