I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 863 Waiting for a long time

The Seven Emotions Demon Lord interfered with Gu Yuanqing's soul with the Seven Emotions Demon Art, and the Mysterious Nether Demon Lord slashed in mid-air, a blade of light condensed to the extreme splitting the sky and falling straight to Gu Yuanqing's body.

Neither of them held back; both unleashed the power of their primordial demonic seeds in a peak attack.

One strike targets the soul, the other the physical body; their coordination is seamless, their timing is impeccable, and they aim for a fatal blow!

Gu Yuanqing's own strength is one thing, but after several encounters, it's clear that the people behind him are using him as a base to launch attacks from a distance. They can't give him a chance!

The Heavenly Demons are masters of concealment, and even Gu Yuanqing did not notice the approach of the two Demon Lords.

However, he and Li Miaoxuan had already been on guard.

The two demon lords suffered losses at his hands many times. When they saw him, they would either run away or launch a sneak attack. The Heavenly Demon does not follow the rules.

Therefore, Gu Yuanqing immediately sensed the arrival of the Seven Emotions Demon Lord and the Mysterious Nether Demon Lord.

"careful!"

Li Miaoxuan also exclaimed in surprise. She did not directly suffer the attack, but the aftershocks of the seven emotions swept over her, which had already shaken her mind and caused hallucinations to appear before her eyes.

The moonlight formed by the Nine Heavens Moonlight Chain shone brightly, freezing the surrounding space, attempting to block the sword light and reduce the demonic intent.

As for Gu Yuanqing, there was not a trace of panic in his eyes.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the illusory image of the thirty-three-story glazed tower shone brightly, and the clear mirror at the top of the tower reflected everything inside and out. All kinds of emotions and delusions melted away and dissipated like snow meeting the blazing sun.

At the same time, he flicked his finger, striking the incoming blade directly.

Time seemed to freeze for a moment, and then, this all-out attack, which was enough to severely injure a Void Immortal cultivator, shattered inch by inch from its tip, turning into countless dark specks of light scattered across the sky.

"How can it be?!"

The Demon Lord Xuanyou was shocked. His and Qiqing's well-prepared attack had been so easily countered by the opponent.
Gu Yuanqing's strength is clearly much greater than it was back then!
Gu Yuanqing swept his Void-Piercing Heavenly Eye across the area, pointed his sword finger, and the sword formation changed, heading directly towards the two Demon Lords.

Qiqing and Xuanyou used their Heavenly Demon Divine Powers to hide among ordinary Heavenly Demons and demonic energy, attempting to find another opportunity.

A bright mirror appeared above Gu Yuanqing's head, reflecting all directions. No matter how Xuan You and Qi Qing tried to hide, the sword energy followed them like a shadow.

Knowing they could no longer use the same trick, the two demons clashed head-on with Gu Yuanqing, revealing their true forms.

One of them was dressed in a moon-white robe and held a warm and smooth jade-shaped fan. In terms of appearance, he could truly be called a handsome young man in this turbid world. Even when fighting with Gu Yuanqing, he was still elegant and graceful. This was none other than the Seven Emotions Demon Lord!
On the other side, the figure of the Demon Lord of the Dark Abyss also materialized from the churning dark demonic energy. His face was ashen, and his gaze towards Gu Yuanqing was filled with apprehension and killing intent. The fact that his sure-kill attack had been so easily neutralized by the opponent was truly beyond his expectations.

"Excellent technique! Excellent composure! Even Xiao Wuyou of the Supreme Forgetfulness Sect would find it difficult to remain unmoved for a moment by my Seven Emotions Technique. Fellow Daoist Gu seems completely unaffected. I admire you, I admire you."

As the Seven Emotions Demon Lord retreated, he chuckled softly, his voice gentle, as if he were meeting an old friend rather than an enemy.

While fighting Gu Yuanqing, the Demon Lord of the Mysterious Netherworld coldly said, "Gu Yuanqing! You are not from this world, why bother getting involved in this mess?"

Gu Yuanqing calmly drew his sword and manipulated the sword formation, continuously attacking the two. He said indifferently, "Why so many reasons? If you can't stand it, you want to kill. It's that simple."

Upon hearing this, the Demon Lord of the Dark Netherworld's eyes blazed with a dark light, and he laughed in fury: "Fine! Very well! Since you insist on seeking death, I will grant your wish!"

"That depends on whether you have the ability," Gu Yuanqing said with a calm smile.

The Demon Lord Xuanyou clashed repeatedly with Gu Yuanqing, while the Demon Lord Qiqing dodged constantly, refusing to fight Gu Yuanqing unless absolutely necessary.

His movements were ethereal, coming and going like the wind, gathering and dispersing without form.

If the Xuan You Demon Lord is constantly evolving and gradually changing from a celestial demon to more and more like a human who has cultivated demonic arts, then the Seven Emotions Demon Lord still mostly retains the form of a celestial demon.

Although his offensive power was inferior to Xuan You's, Gu Yuanqing's sword energy was still unable to truly harm him.

He further harassed him with words, chuckling as he said, "Fellow Daoist Gu is truly oblivious to romance. Brother Xuanyou is only doing this for your own good. This matter involves the Demon Lord. Even if these old monks of the Immaculate Zen Forest can still hold on today, the seal has cracked and will shatter sooner or later. As your human race has a saying, 'You can dodge the first day of the month, but you can't dodge the fifteenth.' When the Demon Lord settles his score, Fellow Daoist Gu will be spared, but if he brings trouble upon his relatives and friends, the sin will be immense. I'm afraid you will regret it then!"

His words were soft and carried a strange allure, as if he genuinely cared about Gu Yuanqing. His words even made one feel as if they could witness the Demon Lord's birth, the purge of all his relatives and friends, and their tragic deaths.

Hearing these words, Li Miaoxuan frowned slightly. After all, her cultivation level was one level lower, and even if it was just a slight influence, she still felt uncomfortable. She felt that the illusions in her eyes were being reborn, and even her six senses were being distorted.

Gu Yuanqing's Void Robe shimmered with a clear light, and the Thirty-Three-Story Demon Refining and Immortal Ascension Tower shone brightly. He uttered two words expressionlessly: "Noisy."

As soon as he finished speaking, his aura suddenly changed again. The Sword Intent of Controlling Calamity and Myriad Manifestations soared into the sky, and four sword lights reappeared. The range of the sword formation suddenly expanded, simultaneously enveloping the two great demon lords, Xuan You and Qi Qing. The sword lights intersected and attacked the two directly.

The Demon Lord Xuanyou raised an eyebrow, and with a flicker of his body, he split into hundreds and thousands of powerful and varied demonic shadows!

Some wielded swords to unleash sky-splitting demonic energy, some summoned raging demonic flames with hand seals, some spewed out bone-corroding poisonous mist, and some punched with the force to shatter mountains... Every attack was extremely fierce, but in reality, it was a mix of feints and real attacks. Some were merely superficial, while others were strikes from the peak of the Void Immortal level.

Moreover, some moves may seem like feints, but if you ignore them, they can quickly turn into a devastating blow.

These techniques of shifting between reality and illusion are like a violent storm, unpredictable and dazzling, making them impossible to defend against.

The Seven Emotions Demon Lord, on the other hand, was completely different. He gently shook his folding fan, and the seductive music started again. The demonic energy in front of him surged, instantly creating layers of illusions.

Tempted by the magnificent scenery of the celestial palace, frightened by the horrific scenes of hell, angered by the betrayal of a close friend, and saddened by the passing of a beautiful woman... all these images assaulted Gu Yuanqing's mind.

In addition, the Seven Emotions Demon Lord himself is also unpredictable. He hides in the aura of ordinary demons, sometimes transforming into a charming woman, sometimes into a ferocious ghost, and sometimes into a decrepit old man. His transformations are consistent with the illusion, and he takes the opportunity to make his move. Similarly, the illusion and reality are intertwined, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

Faced with the exquisite yet ferocious combined attack of the two demon lords, Gu Yuanqing remained calm and activated the Myriad Manifestations Sword Formation to its fullest extent.

The sword light split, sometimes flowing like a long river, washing away the illusion; sometimes condensing like fine threads, piercing through the demonic energy; sometimes forming a sword shield to resist the poisonous fire.

The Great Extinction Sword's sword threads crisscrossed and twisted, causing demonic energy to dissipate and illusions to shatter wherever it passed;
He transformed the sword of his own mind into nothingness, severing the threads of the seven emotions that invaded his mind and protecting the clarity of his spiritual platform.

He fought two opponents alone, his sword flashing like a dragon, moving between the torrent of myriad laws and the illusory sea of ​​seven emotions.

Gu Yuanqing did not use the power of his cave heaven, but relied on his own strength to fight against the two demon lords at the peak of the Void Immortal realm.

This is a rare opportunity for self-improvement, not only for myself but also for Li Miaoxuan.

At Gu Yuanqing's level, there are very few in the world who can rival him. The only ones who can put pressure on him are these Demon Lords at the peak of the Void Immortal realm.

Using the power of the cave heavens gave them an instant advantage, but it also meant the end of the battle.

The Seven Emotions Demon Lord's Heavenly Demon Attack Technique can refine the spirit, and Xuan You's use of the power of all paths can also provide Gu Yuanqing with some inspiration.

The insights gained under this pressure, the sparks of inspiration that spring up in one's mind, are far more delightful than ordinary meditation retreats.

Gu Yuanqing appeared to be overwhelmed by the overwhelming attacks, but in reality, his swordplay gradually became more refined and seamless amidst the changes.

Not only did he protect himself and Li Miaoxuan, but he also constantly sought opportunities to counterattack, forcing the two demons to retreat and avoid his attacks with his annihilating sword threads. The battle was fierce and stalemate-filled, fraught with danger, yet it always maintained a balance.

Under Gu Yuanqing's protection, Li Miaoxuan still needs to do her best to resist the aftereffects of the Seven Emotions Demonic Art and the lingering power of the battle.

She focused her mind and activated the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine to an unprecedented degree, weaving through the gaps in the sword energy to coordinate with Gu Yuanqing.

It could either disrupt the spellcasting rhythm of one of the Xuan You Demon Lord's avatars, or strike at the nodes of the Seven Emotions Demon Lord's illusory scenes.

Although it was difficult to cause decisive damage, it often disrupted the cooperation between the two demons at crucial moments, creating opportunities for Gu Yuanqing to counterattack.

Under such extreme pressure, her aura became increasingly refined, and her control over power improved at an astonishing rate. At the same time, whenever her control became stronger, her power also increased. Unconsciously, her realm and cultivation level both took a big step forward.

Even as the two demon lords besieged Gu Yuanqing, the Heavenly Demon Tide continued unabated.

His subordinates, the Void Immortal Heavenly Demon, led their troops in a continuous assault on the Star Palace Formation, forcing those within the formation to remain vigilant in the slightest.

Even if the Demon Lord has been killed, if the Heavenly Demon Army breaks through the great formation and attacks the Buddhist formation, it will inevitably affect the seal of the evil spirits.

If this evil demon were to be born, the Nine Realms Divine Continent would likely never recover.

It was precisely for this reason that even though Li Yanshen, the governor of Tian Shu Prefecture, Ling Yi, and the palace master of Zhou Tianxing Palace were clearly responsible for suppressing a region, they still traveled hundreds of millions of miles to come and help.

However, because the two demon lords withdrew to attack Gu Yuanqing, the pressure on the Star Palace Formation was undoubtedly much weaker than before.

Li Yanshen, Ling Yi, and the others also had some spare energy to look at the battle situation on Gu Yuanqing's side.

A wisp of the Dharma body of the Palace Master of Zhou Tianxing Palace appeared beside Li Yanshen.

"Lord Li, having witnessed this battle, what are your thoughts on this Brother Gu?"

"Indeed very strong!" Li Yanshen manipulated his magic weapon to fly out of the great formation. A flash of light appeared, and the body of a Chaotic Undying Heavenly Demon disintegrated into demonic energy.

"How does he compare to His Majesty?" Zhang Beichen asked again.

Li Yanshen turned around and stared at the Taoist: "What exactly does the Palace Master want to ask?"

“Of course Lord Li knows what I want to ask,” Zhang Beichen said.

After a long pause, Li Yan said calmly, "How dare I, as your subject, guess what Your Majesty is thinking?"

“Your Excellency and His Majesty have grown up together since childhood. I hope you can persuade him more. The current situation is a rare opportunity for our Nine Domains Divine Continent. If we can work together, we can eliminate the threat of the Heavenly Demons…” Zhang Beichen said.

Li Yanshen suddenly said, "But you can't become an immortal!"

……

At the heart of the battlefield, the fierce fighting has reached a fever pitch.

Unable to break through after a prolonged siege, Xuan You and the Seven Emotions Demon Lord grew increasingly impatient.

Especially for Xuan You, when his clone encountered Gu Yuanqing back then, he was overjoyed.

At that time, Gu Yuanqing was only a mortal immortal, yet he already possessed such strength. He thought that if he waited until Gu Yuanqing became a Void Immortal before harvesting him, it would be the best kind of resource.

But today, it turns out that everything has been reversed.

"We can't delay any longer. Either we retreat, or..." the Demon Lord Xuanyou transmitted his voice.

The Seven Emotions Demon Lord transmitted his voice: "Is there still no movement from the Giant Abyss?"

“It’s not that easy. These bald monks from the Immaculate Zen Forest are no ordinary people. Perhaps this avatar of the Giant Evil has already stumbled, otherwise this guy surnamed Gu wouldn’t have come out to fight us,” said the Demon Lord of the Mysterious Netherworld.

The Seven Emotions Demon Lord said, "Then let's give it a try. If it fails, then retreat!"

The two devised a plan, and together they let out a sharp howl, which was echoed by countless demons.

In an instant, the world was filled with piercing demonic sounds.

Gu Yuanqing frowned, and a look of pain flashed across Li Miaoxuan's brows.

Gu Yuanqing opened his Celestial Realm to protect her, and Li Miaoxuan felt a little better.

Within the Star Palace Array, starlight trembled, and blood flowed from the ears of countless cultivators. Even Void Immortal cultivators like Ling Yi and Li Yanshen experienced mental turmoil, and the operation of the array was even slightly affected.

The Seven Emotions Demon Lord suddenly made his move, and the jade bone fan in his hand burst forth with a mesmerizing seven-colored evil light.

His face suddenly blurred, instantly splitting into seven distinct phantoms, each representing one of the seven extreme emotions: joy, anger, worry, contemplation, grief, fear, and shock.

Seven figures simultaneously emitted a variety of sounds that pierced the soul, including shrieks, roars, sobs, and murmurs. These sounds merged with the voices of countless demons, transforming into seven chains that ignored spatial distance and bound towards Gu Yuanqing's soul.

All of the Xuan You Demon Lord's clones suddenly converged inward, merging into his main body like rivers flowing into the sea.

He raised his hand and grabbed, and countless demons exploded, turning into black energy that gathered in his hand, gradually forming a sharp blade imbued with the aura of annihilation.

At the moment when the Seven Emotions were unleashed, Gu Yuanqing's Myriad Manifestations Sword Formation seemed to show some stagnation and flaws.

The Demon Lord Xuanyou suddenly transformed into pure darkness, ignoring spatial barriers, and appeared in front of Gu Yuanqing in an instant, his demonic blade piercing straight into Gu Yuanqing's brow and sea of ​​consciousness!

This attack combined all the primal power that the two demon lords' clones could mobilize at this moment, and was the ultimate combination of tactics and demonic arts, aiming to kill!

Gu Yuanqing smiled in response to this.

"We've been waiting for your full-force attack; otherwise, how could we have kept you here?"

His tone was calm, but it stirred up a storm in the ears of the two demon lords.

They certainly understood Gu Yuanqing's intentions. When fighting Gu Yuanqing, they remained wary of the people behind him and were always ready to flee at any time.

Even if they show up, they won't be able to stop them.

But if you go all out, it's a different story. As you concentrate your power, you also give others an opportunity!

But with the sword already on the bowstring, how could they not strike? They were unwilling to expend their life force on such a powerful attack only to be deterred by Gu Yuanqing's mere words.
