I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 850 The Deterrent Power of a Great Cultivator!
He transformed his sword intent to interfere with the thoughts of the Heavenly Demon, and countless white-gold sword threads burst forth from the void, their incomparably sharp sword energy continuously cutting into the demonic energy of the two illusory immortals and Heavenly Demons.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Evils' suppression of Li Miaoxuan immediately disappeared by more than half.

Li Miaoxuan's Dao heart was resolute. Taking advantage of this moment of respite, she suddenly activated the Nine Tribulations of the Great Void Scripture within her body to its limit, and shouted, "Break!"

The Nine Heavens Moon Chain on his wrist shone brightly, and a phantom image of a full moon rose from above his head.

Under the moonlight, the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Evils' divine powers were instantly shattered.

The Dragon-Slaying Guillotine shone brightly, and as the blade flashed, the four Undying Heavenly Demons were all injured, their demonic blood splattering as they retreated in disarray.

Seeing that the sneak attack had failed, Li Miaoxuan broke free and displayed her power, and the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Evils' expression grew even colder.

He let out a low shout, and vortexes spun rapidly in his eyes, unleashing boundless demonic energy. Fiery red karmic fire burned fiercely, turning the entire world into a purgatory.

Countless figures, enveloped in karmic flames, lunged at Gu Yuanqing with ferocious expressions.

The sword threads collided with it, and both were annihilated.

All the figures rushed forward one after another, utterly unafraid of death; perhaps for them, death was the best possible outcome.

Gu Yuanqing could tell that the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Evils had only sent an avatar, but even as an avatar, its strength and threat were far greater than that of the Demon King of the Underworld.

Of course, that's all; unless the real person comes in person, they are not enough to pose a threat to him.

Even though it has a stronger grasp of the power of this world than Gu Yuanqing, Gu Yuanqing's power does not come from the power of the world, but from his own power.

Compared to cultivators in this realm, the power of heaven and earth is merely icing on the cake. This is one of the biggest differences between cultivators in the Nine Domains Divine Continent and the Spirit Realm. This difference is particularly evident in Gu Yuanqing, since his Celestial World is so powerful that the illusory world created by each particle of his physical body under the imprint of the Celestial World far surpasses that of others.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Evils opened his Demon Domain and clashed with Gu Yuanqing's Sword Domain. With Gu Yuanqing's power increased, he had no time to attack Li Miaoxuan.

Within the Demon Realm, the filthy light of the end continued to invade, while the Netherworld Demon Lord launched a frenzied, desperate attack, pressing down on Gu Yuanqing.

The battle raged for a long time.

Suddenly, the spatial crystal wall constructed by Gu Yuanqing's sword threads trembled violently. The sword threads continued to melt under the erosion of the foul light, seemingly temporarily suppressed by the combined power of the two demon lords. The sword net contracted inward, and its radiance dimmed slightly.

"Now is the time!" The Demon King of the Underworld thought the time had come. With a roar, he burned his primal power, transforming it into a pure and ultimate blade of light, and made a desperate attack, piercing straight into the core of the sword net!

At the same time, the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Evils also shook his primordial demonic seed, raised his hand and waved, and a dark, turbid stream swept in following the sword light.

Faced with the combined attack, Gu Yuanqing remained calm, even a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Gu Yuanqing's aura suddenly surged, and a pure and vast power poured into his body. It was the true form of Beiquan Cave Heaven, who used the Heavenly Fishing Technique.

Although the main body's mind was not constantly focused on the clone, this realm was also dangerous, and the clone, with Li Miaoxuan with it, naturally kept an eye on it occasionally.

Despite his confidence upon encountering the Demon Lord, Gu Yuanqing still contacted the Demon Lord's true form just in case.

The power of the sword formation surged, and countless sword threads shone brightly.

The approaching Netherworld Demon King's expression changed drastically. The intertwined Great Annihilation Tribulation Swords landed on his body, cracks appeared on his bones, and the demonic runes on his body were rapidly worn away. However, the wielding sword light seemed unable to get even a fraction closer to Gu Yuanqing.

The blade's light was constantly being worn away as it clashed with the sword energy, and the sword intent that had been coiling around it had begun to attack the bone blade itself in the hand.

Alarm bells rang in his mind, and he changed his momentum, retreating, only to find that even his retreat had slowed down.

At this moment, Gu Yuanqing turned around and pointed at him in the air.

The Demon King of the Underworld was filled with fear, feeling as if death had suddenly descended upon him. Without the slightest hesitation, his demonic seed throbbed violently, and demonic fire ignited and enveloped him. He then violently slammed backward, shattering the void and breaking the spatial laws that had previously bound him. Only then did his retreat accelerate.

But in that brief moment of pause, Gu Yuanqing's power had already crossed spatial distance and landed on his brow.

This sword strike was different from the previous ones; all the forces were condensed into one, embodying Gu Yuanqing's mastery of swordsmanship.

Despite his best efforts, the Demon King of the Underworld could not withstand the dense sword energy that pierced his body and completely shattered his demonic form.

Gu Yuanqing did not stop. He transformed his fingers into palms, unleashing the myriad paths back to nothingness, intending to utterly destroy it.

Not far away, the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Evils' expression darkened. Under his attack, this person was actually able to severely injure the Demon King of the Underworld!

He naturally wouldn't let Gu Yuanqing continue attacking.

With a cold snort, the demonic patterns around his body suddenly lit up, and the decadent and corrupting power that permeated the world instantly collapsed inward, condensing into a thin line that was extremely dark, silently cutting straight towards Gu Yuanqing.

Gu Yuanqing became alert, and the Demon Refining and Immortal Ascension Tower appeared on his body. The bright mirror hung high, reflecting the heaven and earth. The attacking demonic lines immediately appeared in his mind, and he raised his hand and lightly swept it backward.

"laugh--!"

The sword-like threads intertwine to form a net, meeting the fine lines.

The fine lines were sharp, piercing through several layers of sword nets, but their color gradually faded with each layer.

As it approached, layers of crystal-clear, thick spatial sword walls silently rose up.

Ding Ding Ding!
Several spatial sword walls finally collapsed.

The Demon King of the Underworld, having gained a respite, condensed boundless demonic energy and transformed it back into a skeletal body, though the bones were covered in cracks.

To be precise, this is not a simple crack, but rather the sword intent that is wrapped around its body, hindering its complete recovery.

As soon as he regained his body, he retreated in a panic.

But as soon as Gu Yuanqing had a thought, countless sword threads came flying at him.

He dared not have his demonic body destroyed again. Just now, his original demonic seed had been damaged. He recklessly burned his original demonic thoughts, swung his bone knife to break through the sword energy, and retreated.

Gu Yuanqing raised his hand, about to point again.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Evils attacked Gu Yuanqing once again.

Gu Yuanqing had no choice but to clash his finger with the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Evils once again.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Evils raised his palm to block, but his palm was pierced through and then exploded into a bloody mist. However, in an instant, his palm was restored.

However, because of this delay, the Netherworld Demon King has found another chance to catch his breath. His demonic energy surges and demonic fire ignites, erasing the sword threads wrapped around his body. The cracks on his bones begin to heal rapidly. As he retreats, a fierce glint flashes in the eyes formed by the two dancing demonic fires in the skull's eye sockets, as he looks for an opportunity to strike.

Suddenly, the void behind him parted like a curtain of water, and a fair hand reached out. With a grab, the space in front of him changed abruptly.

As the Netherworld Demon King retreated to meet the palm, he sensed something amiss. He turned around and saw a palm behind him growing larger and larger, blotting out the sky. He was being thrown into the palm as if he were being offered himself up.

But in the eyes of the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Evils, it was a different scene. He saw the Demon King of the Underworld grow smaller and smaller, falling into his outstretched hand like an insect trapped in amber.

He clasped his hands together as if grasping a flying insect, then withdrew into the void, and the Demon King of the Underworld vanished.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Evils' pupils shrank as he suddenly recalled what Xuan You had said decades ago: that person from another world had attacked across the sky, possessing incredible strength.

He turned and left, his figure instantly becoming ethereal.

"late."

Gu Yuanqing said calmly.

The Myriad Manifestations Sword Formation of Calamity changed, space solidified, and the Great Annihilation Sword Qi intertwined, forcing out the Lord of Ten Thousand Evils.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, the Seal of Beiquan Town flew out, suddenly radiating brilliant light, transforming into a majestic mountain that pressed down upon the land.

Under the Great Seal, the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Evils felt his demonic thoughts slow down, the space solidified, as if he were trapped in a quagmire, and his retreat speed became slower and slower. He could no longer use his escape techniques and had no power to escape at all.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Evils had a gloomy expression. He snorted coldly, burned his primordial demonic thoughts, and used a secret technique.

The previously solidified space suddenly shattered. With a roar, a colossal dark dragon, formed purely from the essence of abyssal sin, tore through the air, carrying boundless fury, and crashed directly into the World-Suppressing Seal!

Gu Yuanqing raised an eyebrow slightly. This was the first time someone had been able to break through the spatial seal of the Beiquan Town World Seal. It was indeed worthy of someone who could become the Demon Lord and suppress this world for millions of years. Even a mere clone could achieve such a feat.

However, Gu Yuanqing was not worried, because the main body had already made a move, and a clone could not cause any trouble at all.

His gaze fell on Shi Yin of Beiquan Town.

His mind is connected with the main body, and the main body can then use this connection to activate the Heavenly Fishing Technique.

The main body extended its palm again, adding power to the Beiquan Town Seal. This time, Gu Yuanqing used the power of the Beiquan Cave Heaven.

Beiquan Town's Shiyin was immediately pushed to its limit, and the illusory image of the cave appeared, with the shadows of mountains and rivers flowing around it.

Before the demonic dragon could even make contact with the seal of Beiquan Town, it suddenly froze.

The great seal fell, and the demonic dragon shattered.

At this moment, another figure of the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Evils suddenly appeared above the World Seal of Beiquan Town. This was another clone of him, and also a backup plan.

This clone is clearly very weak, only at the level of the Undying Chaos Realm.

Under normal circumstances, this clone could be used as an anchor point to quickly guide the original demonic thoughts of the other clone back. However, under the North Spring World-Suppressing Seal, the space was imprisoned, and the demonic thoughts could not escape at all.

This clone was naturally unable to shake the Northern Spring Town Seal, but it could allow the power of the Myriad Evil Demon Lord to break through the void.

A pale hand reached out, carrying overwhelming demonic energy, and landed directly above the seal.

Gu Yuanqing himself also made a move.

The two used their respective skills and exchanged several blows in the blink of an eye.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Evils was no match for him; his hand was broken and dripped with demonic blood, while Gu Yuanqing on the other side was completely unharmed.

Gu Yuanqing, who possessed the power of a hidden realm, was too powerful for him to budge even slightly.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Evils dared not fight again, and pretended to attack Li Miaoxuan, who was fighting the Great Demon of Chaos and Immortality.

As Gu Yuanqing tried to stop him, another wisp of demonic energy swept away a clone.

Gu Yuanqing's true form raised his hand and slashed with the blade. The Heavenly Blade of Annihilation, formed from the incense smoke, followed the dissipating aura and the causal connection, transforming into a gray heavenly blade. It silently slashed into the void, following the trail!

From the depths of the void, a muffled sound of surprise and anger seemed to come, and then there was no more sound.

On the battlefield, the Wan Nie clones, having lost the support of their original form and suppressed by the Bei Quan Zhen Shi Yin, were powerless to turn the tide.

After only a brief struggle, the demonic thoughts were completely imprisoned, and he couldn't even cast spells.

Its eyes were filled with horror, never expecting that this human cultivator would be so powerful.

The hand that reached out from the void raised its hand and beckoned. The Beiquan Town World Seal shrank continuously, taking the imprisoned Wannie Demon Lord's clone into its palm. Then it was withdrawn into the void and disappeared.

On the other side, Li Miaoxuan's battle with the four-headed Chaotic Undying Demon was also nearing its end.

Seeing Gu Yuanqing's divine might, which even suppressed the Demon Lord's avatar, the four Great Demons of Chaos were terrified and had no will to fight.

However, the Nine Heavens Moon Chain had already sealed off the space, and it was also shrouded by Gu Yuanqing's Tribulation Control Myriad Manifestations Sword Formation, making escape impossible.

As Li Miaoxuan continued to fight, she became more and more familiar with the power that had surged within her over the past few days, and the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine became even more powerful, constantly compressing the space in which these demons moved.

Their power was constantly weakened under the light of the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine. In their terror, they burned their demonic thoughts and used every means at their disposal, but they still could not do anything to Li Miaoxuan, who was equipped with a set of illusory immortal artifacts.

Gu Yuanqing stood to the side, arms crossed, waiting patiently and calmly.

Of course, it wasn't just waiting. Countless sword shadows and chaotic primordial fire swept across tens of thousands of miles, slaughtering all the ordinary demons brought by the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Evils, turning them into provisions.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye; Gu Yuanqing didn't even turn his head to look at him more than a few times.

With a final, soft shout, Li Miaoxuan conjured a divine phantom and slew four demons on the execution platform.

A great battle has finally come to an end.

Li Miaoxuan sat cross-legged in the void, her aura rising continuously, eventually surpassing the mid-stage of the Chaotic Undying realm and taking a giant step forward.

Gu Yuanqing was not in a hurry. With a wave of his hand, a flying boat appeared.

He sat on the ship, sipping tea and reading, waiting for Li Miaoxuan to stabilize her cultivation.

However, the Myriad Manifestations Sword Formation of the Imperial Realm has never been withdrawn, protecting Li Miaoxuan and preventing attacks from external demons.

Two days later.

Li Miaoxuan woke up and stepped onto the flying boat.

Gu Yuanqing stood up and laughed, "If you continue like this, I'm afraid you'll break through to the Void Immortal realm in just a few years!"

Li Miaoxuan shook her head: "It's not that simple. The cultivation gained from refining external objects is always superficial and the foundation is not solid. It takes time to hone it. Even if there are enough resources, it will probably take a hundred years. Moreover, this time the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Evils was injured, and the three Demon Lords all suffered great losses at your hands. I'm afraid they will gather their forces. The Undying Demon of Chaos will not be as easy to find as before. In addition, I'm afraid that the Undying Demons under Xuan You and Ten Thousand Evils are also very few left."

“That’s true.” Gu Yuanqing nodded, then said, “Why don’t we try our luck at the Seven Emotions Demon Lord’s place instead?”

……

The two transformed into streaks of light and disappeared into the distance.

Deep within the Abyss of Sin, upon the throne, the true form of the Lord of Ten Thousand Sins slowly opened his eyes.

Cracks are faintly visible in the left eye, a sign of impending doom, while the karmic fire in the right eye appears slightly dimmed.

He opened his right hand, revealing a shallow gray knife mark on his palm, swirling with the scent of incense and the aura of annihilation, slowly eroding like a bone-deep carbuncle, which would be difficult to heal in a short time.

His face was very gloomy. It seemed that the old guy Xuan You had fought with people from another world, but he had not told them everything about them. He must have been hiding something, otherwise he would not have been so careless.

He only had three Demon Lords under his command, and now two of them have died, a devastating loss.

The lost clone was no ordinary being; it carried a portion of his original demonic seed, and this loss was enough to cause his strength to drop significantly from its peak!

and……

If this great human cultivator were present, the matter of harvesting the demonic calamity would be meaningless, and the overall situation of this realm would change as a result.

"Such a momentous matter, and this old fellow dared to conceal it! He truly deserves to die!" Unable to contain his rage, the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Evils slammed his fist onto the armrest of the throne beside him, unleashing his aura and reducing the entire palace to ruins!

……

Gu Yuanqing and Li Miaoxuan continued their journey through the Demon Land, and as expected, they found that there were very few Heavenly Demons above the Yin-Yang level. Over the course of several days, they only saw one Heavenly Demon above the Chaotic Heaven Realm.

They walked deeper into the Demon Land, where the situation improved slightly, but they still couldn't find any Heavenly Demons at the Undying Realm level. It was as if all the high-level Heavenly Demons had retreated into the Demon Abyss.

They traveled for another three months in the Demon Land and arrived at the region ruled by the Seven Emotions Demon Lord, but the situation there was not much different from that on the side of Ten Thousand Evils.

However, Li Miaoxuan's strength has improved considerably. After all, there are still many mid- to low-level demons, and winning by sheer numbers is much faster than secluded cultivation.

With the retreat of the high-level demons, the human race of the Nine Realms Divine Continent immediately sensed the change, and the battles that used to occur frequently did not happen for several months.

After decades of taut nerves, this sudden change has left me feeling somewhat lost and disoriented.
