Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 386: The Sea-Suppressing Monster King, the Ten Thousand Monsters Ceremony (Subscribe!)

The sea surface suddenly boiled, and the raging waves rushed forward along with the purple thunder from the sky.

The sixth-order giant turtle raised its head and roared angrily, and the patterns on its shell burst out with a faint blue light, which actually attracted the thunder in the sky and turned into countless lightning spears that pierced down.

As a demon cultivator, he can control thunder magic so freely by relying on his demonic energy. His level of cultivation is truly unimaginable.

Lu Cheng took a step forward and with a gesture, another five-element flying sword flew out into the air. The colorful sword lights formed a sword energy net, which turned the lightning spears falling from the sky into scattered sparks.

The thunder method is domineering, and Lu Cheng's sword energy technique is also extremely powerful.

"Get up!" The old turtle spoke in human language, and his cloudy eyes turned bloodshot.

The waves of the sea within a radius of hundreds of miles suddenly solidified like black ice. Thousands of ice cones rose from the bottom of the sea and shot densely towards the spirit boat. The magic shield of the Purple Cloud Boat suddenly made a shrill whine.

This is a flying magic weapon, not a sixth-level mid-grade defensive magic weapon.

Moreover, unlike human cultivators, the core of human cultivators' cultivation is to train qi and spirit, while the core of demon cultivators' cultivation is to refine blood and temper the body.

Therefore, after cultivating to the Nascent Soul stage, human cultivators cultivate the Nascent Soul, put a bit of true spirit into it, which is extremely magical, and their spiritual consciousness is often stronger than that of demon cultivators of the same level.

Demon cultivators have been cultivating demon pills since they formed them. There will be no changes when they cultivate to the Nascent Soul or Divine Transformation realms. Their physical bodies and magic powers are often stronger than those of human cultivators of the same level. Their spells are usually stronger as well because of the years of cultivation.

However, demon cultivators are generally inferior to human cultivators in terms of the breadth of magic, magic weapons, and the various arts of cultivation.

Clang.

With a sword chant, Miao Chuyun burst out of the cabin, controlling his two ice and fire magic swords to transform into a two-colored long rainbow, crushing the ice cones approaching the boat into powder.

Xiao Yuxue held the exquisite jade tower in her hand and flew high into the air. The tower body glowed with light and actually took in all the cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, including Zi Yunzhou.

War magic weapons often require a large number of monks to control them together in order to unleash their full power.

The cultivators from the five sects in Haiyuan City certainly have no problem with this. As for the Heaven and Earth Demon Palace, even if all the disciples from the Xuanhuang and Liehuo realms were counted, it would still be difficult to meet the needs.

Fortunately, the Xiao sisters, Xue Yuzhen, Yun Linger, Yuwen Zheng and other Dharmakaya and Nascent Soul cultivators have united together, and their magic power is enough to support the Linglong Jade Pagoda, or at least to bring the pagoda's defenses into play. Only they can attack others, and ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators find it difficult to attack them, making them invincible.

Now, inside the Linglong Jade Pagoda, besides the Dharmakaya, Yuanying, Shi Sheng, Yun Huang'er and other disciples, there is also the shameless old Taoist Drunk Taoist. In the air, there are only Lu Cheng, Lu Chengfeng, Miao Chuyun, and Xiao Yuxue who is holding up the Linglong Jade Pagoda.

Seeing this, Lu Cheng snorted coldly, pinched the Fire Seal with his left hand, and held the sword seal with his right palm. He would pay the price for being distracted in front of him.

Therefore, the body of the Netherworld Sword suddenly emitted purple light and lightning, and the radiation of the sword light actually melted all the surrounding cold air.

Then the sword light moved like a dragon and snake, drilling into the gap in the tortoise shell that had just been cut, tearing the flesh and blood, and cutting out a gushing blood mist.

The old turtle roared in pain, and spider web cracks appeared on its carapace where sword light was shooting out. However, dark green mist gushed out of the wound, and it healed in an instant.

"A demon king in the late Nascent Soul stage. I didn't expect to encounter such a demon just after coming out."

Of course, Lu Cheng understood after thinking about it. Perhaps many great monsters and monster kings needed a monster conference more than human cultivators for trading purposes. It was easier to encounter powerful monster cultivators when going out to sea at this time than in the past.

"Ice and fire, the sword changes the world."

Miao Chuyun controlled two sword lights, one dark blue and one dark red, that swirled and flew. One of the sword lights was transformed from her natal flying sword that killed evil, while the other sword light was transformed from her body and mind sword energy. They gathered and dispersed in an invisible way, and were controlled by the heart. The power also matched her magic power. However, if they were defeated, her body and mind sword energy would naturally be greatly damaged.

When the old turtle saw its front claws slap the sea surface, nine water dragons rose into the sky from the whirlpool. Each dragon had a single horn on its head, and they rushed towards Miao Chuyun with the sword light, carrying the cold evil of the deep sea.

The ice and fire sword lights turned into a pair of red and blue dragons that strangled the water dragon. The erupting ice and fire energy condensed into a hundred-mile fog barrier on the sea surface.

"Wine and Fire·Heavenly Fire Prison!" A small flame gushed out from the jade tower in Xiao Yuxue's hand. It was weak at first, but within a very short period of time, the sea water within a radius of ten miles was ignited with red-gold flames out of thin air.

Although the Drunken Taoist was shameless, he was ruthless and experienced. He hid in the exquisite jade tower and only attacked but not defended. The power of his fire magic suddenly increased by 50%.

The old turtle was trapped in a sea of ​​fire, and it opened its mouth and spewed out dark water thunder. Wherever the black thunder ball passed, even the flames were broken and frozen.

Lu Chengfeng cast a spell and summoned a guardian deity with a green face, fangs and multiple arms on its back. On each arm was a magical weapon: Longyan Relic, Xuanji Yuheng Plate, Big Dipper Sword, Mingwang Demon-Subduing Pestle, Liuyang Fire Crow Pot and Zhenmoguan Umbrella.

But before he could make a move, he was struck down by the lightning that was surging above his head, suppressing him as if he was carrying a mountain.

Lightning bolts struck down one after another, and no matter which magic weapon was used, it was difficult to resist.

At this moment, Lu Chengfeng discovered that his Taoist and Buddhist skills were actually suppressed by Pei Ran Mo Yu's thunder magic.

"I practice Taoism and Buddhism together. It seems that I am knowledgeable and omnipotent, but I have never understood the essence of Taoist thunder magic."

At this moment, Lu Chengfeng realized something.

On the other side, Lu Cheng's figure suddenly dispersed, and his figure evolved into hundreds of afterimages that shuttled between the thunder and fire. Each afterimage pierced out a sharp sword intent, and actually detonated the Yin Thunder balls in mid-air.

The old turtle suddenly retracted its limbs into its shell. The patterns on its shell were as bright as a star map. Looking at it for a long time would give one a feeling of great consumption of spiritual power. At the same time, its physical body was shrinking rapidly, from being as big as a mountain to quickly transforming into a human form.

At the same time, the water vapor in the sky condensed into thousands of ice crystal sword rains, each of which was wrapped in the tremendous demonic power of a sixth-level demon cultivator, fast and fierce, with almost no gaps.

Lu Cheng's figure did not retreat but advanced, and the sword light of the Netherworld and Five Elements swords surged. Lu Cheng himself performed the "Golden Mist Escape" from the Five Elements Sword Escape, and the man and sword became one, transforming into a hundred-foot golden light that pierced directly into the cracks in the Demon King's tortoise shell.

The lights of the two swords, Netherworld and Five Elements, circled around and around, clearing away the rain of countless ice crystal swords.

Clang.

The sound of metal hitting stone spread out, and ripples continued to spread, and finally a hole the size of a bowl was blown open in the tortoise shell.

This hole was not small, because the sixth-level demon king was able to transform. At this moment, the giant turtle actually shrunk into a short stature and grew human limbs, but there was still a turtle skull on its head, a seven-foot-long turtle shell on its back, and a wooden stick in its hand.

Just as the sword light was about to penetrate the body, the old turtle's eyes suddenly shone with blood, and scarlet chains burst out from the cracks in its shell. Lu Cheng felt his mind stagnate slightly, and a sticky and stagnant feeling appeared on his sword palm.

"How did a sword cultivator develop such a strong body? A human-demon hybrid, true dragon bloodline?"

The humanoid old turtle murmured to himself that the scarlet chains were its demonic blood, and using it to cast spells would consume a lot of one's vital energy.

In a flash, Lu Cheng's left hand crossed the sword-like palm of his right arm, and the purple lightning turned into golden red true fire, which was the Samadhi True Fire that broke the heavenly fire disaster that year.

Afterwards, the sword's force turned from hard to soft, and it moved along the patterns on a tortoise shell like a butcher cutting up an ox. The sword's fire turned the blood-colored chains into green smoke.

"Break!" As Lu Cheng shouted, the sword light exploded from the hole in the tortoise shell.

The old turtle let out a heart-wrenching howl, dark green blood gushed out of its seven orifices, and its body kept falling backwards.

But just as Lu Cheng was about to continue chasing, dark shadows appeared above the sky and under the sea. At the same time, dense swarms of sea monsters appeared behind the old turtle. Although they had not yet transformed, they had already developed intelligence and obvious murderous intent could be seen in their eyes.

"Wait a minute."

Just when Lu Cheng thought that he could not attend the Ten Thousand Demons Gathering, the old turtle suddenly raised his hand to stop the giant eagle in the sky, the electric eel in the deep sea, and the attacks of the demons behind him.

"I was the one who attacked them first. We were the ones who made the mistake first. We should not be rude." Then, the old turtle walked over on the waves, leaning on his wooden stick.

"But the Great Jie Fa Zhenjun Lu Zhenjun is in front of the Golden Light Cave in Canglong Mountain?"

"...what's the matter?"

Lu Cheng stared at the old turtle's pupils in front of him and found that the blood color in them had disappeared and returned to clearness.

"I used to practice the art of calculating the mysteries of the universe, but unfortunately, due to my lack of cultivation, I was exhausted and lost my mind. As a result, the animal nature dominated my body, which led to the attack on the True Lord's spiritual boat. This was not my original intention, so I hope you can forgive me.

All of you please step back, and do not come forward without my permission."

The old turtle waved his hand, and the monsters around it were obviously hesitant, but as the two demon king-level demon cultivators, an eagle and an eel, retreated, the other monsters also slowly retreated.

The injured old turtle took the initiative to come forward and perform Taoist rituals on Lu Cheng. He had already cultivated his limbs, and it was actually orthodox Taoist etiquette.

"Blessings and blessings are immeasurable."

"May you be blessed with infinite happiness." Lu Cheng also returned the greeting. Although he did not put away his sword, the atmosphere between the two sides gradually eased.

"You fellow Taoists are going to the Ten Thousand Monsters Island to participate in the Ten Thousand Monsters Dharma Assembly, right? I am familiar with the roads and have some acquaintances on the Ten Thousand Monsters Island. I can recommend you to buy better spiritual objects. By the way, I can also prepare some spiritual objects on the way to make up for your losses."

If it were other demon cultivators, or even cultivators, they would have just fought for their lives and now they would have to put aside their past grudges and set off together.

Lu Cheng would most likely not agree, but at this moment, looking at the demon king in front of him, Lu Cheng agreed after a little thought.

"It was seriously injured. It dared to come close to us at this time. It is very likely that we would kill it at close range. So what it said is very likely true... The 'coexistence faction' is rare among demon cultivators. However, it is no wonder that he is a turtle demon beast."

In Taoist cognition, animals are different from each other. Some of them can be tamed as spiritual animals and placed in the home to even change the feng shui. Typical examples include: turtles, roosters, carp, and dogs.

Excluding innate spiritual seeds, these four are considered to be the more common and classic ones.

Many immortal cultivation families and sects like to raise spiritual turtles. One turtle is passed down for three generations, and the turtle is still there even after the people are gone... However, although turtle monsters have a long lifespan, it is too difficult to advance a domesticated spiritual beast. The families and sects that can really raise them to grow up and protect the clan's inheritance are all extremely lucky and destined.

"What do you call fellow Taoist?"

"I am here to protect the sea."

"It's indeed him." Lu Cheng has lived in Haiyuan City for more than two hundred years, and of course he knows something about the powerful demon kings around him.

Just like the Sea Demon King would recognize Lu Cheng.

This sea-guarding demon king is one of the very few pacifist demon kings among the many overseas demon kings. He believes that the ocean is vast enough for both humans and demons to share. Even if there really comes a day when resources are exhausted, it will probably be tens of thousands of years later.

Instead of fighting continuously, staining the sea with blood, and wasting resources, why not use these resources to practice well, ascend to the upper realm and replenish the heaven and earth?

When Lu Cheng first heard this person's theory, he thought it made sense, but... it was a little unrealistic. Human cultivators and demon cultivators were constantly fighting each other, so how could these two sides possibly live in complete peace?

After hearing the name of the Sea Demon King, even Lu Chengfeng and Zui Dao Ren let down their guard and accepted that it was just an accident. A person can disguise himself for decades or even hundreds of years, but asking a demon king to disguise himself for thousands of years is too much to ask.

The Demon King of Zhenhai is kind to both humans and demons, and countless people of both the human and demon races have benefited from his kindness.

It is not uncommon for monks to go astray during practice and become possessed. Fortunately, they may regain consciousness in time, but unfortunately their entire family may be killed by the possessed monk. Some even commit suicide out of despair.

In the end, the Sea-Suppressing Demon King compensated Lu Cheng and others with four sixth-rank spiritual objects, and the matter was resolved.

“In fact, this Sea-Suppressing Monster King can be said to have severed the cause and effect, and is not contaminated by the aura of calamity. He is pure and is a pure and blessed monk.

He devoted himself to practicing hard, and only wanted to ascend to become an immortal. He did not care about the future of his race and never interfered in the war between humans and demons.

Haiyuan City will protect this demon king in many ways, even if it wants to show that it will not kill him completely, and its purpose has been achieved."

At night, Lu Cheng said this on the Ziyun Boat.

"Husband, you just received benefits from others, why are you talking about them behind their backs?" Xiao Yuhong said with a smile. At this time, there were only Lu Cheng's wives and concubines in the room, so she spoke more casually.

"For a sword cultivator, the fastest way to understand a person is to fight with him. I fought with the demon king during the day and found that his water and lightning skills were extremely pure. He is obviously not a cultivator who is not good at fighting. Such a demon king will not be able to see the peace between the demon race and the human race, which will only bring destruction to the entire demon race?
He can see it clearly, but he doesn't care. He just uses the situation between the two sides to protect himself and only thinks about cultivating himself to become an immortal. For a cultivator, this method can't be considered wrong."

Ten days later, the Purple Cloud Boat arrived at the Wan Yao Island.

The world of immortal cultivation is different from the planet in Lu Cheng's previous life, and it is also different from the Tongxuan world where he was imprisoned back then. Each world is so vast that the distance between continents requires light years to fly across. If there were no teleportation arrays, each continent could almost develop an independent civilization.

When the Purple Cloud Boat passed through the Demon Cloud barrier, the cultivators on the Spirit Boat felt as if the world was hanging upside down.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already on top of a thousand-foot-high sea abyss. Countless floating stone platforms were dotted around. The twelve largest ones were shaped like the remains of prehistoric beasts. Thousand-year-old vines were entwined among the jagged bones, and enchanting red flowers bloomed.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you are finally here, but you kept me waiting!" A clear laughter came from the left. Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw Gu Yunge floating over on a huge jade gourd. Behind him, in addition to True Lord Feng Dong, there were three human cultivators who were also in the Nascent Soul stage.

"We encountered some storms on the road, I'm sorry to have worried you." Lu Cheng flew up from the Purple Cloud Boat and replied politely.

"A few waves will not be a problem with your magical powers, Master Lu. Let's go. These twelve celestial demon platforms correspond to the twelve earthly branches. The Teng Snake Platform in the Chen position is specially for distinguished guests of the human race. There are countless rare treasures there, and you must visit it." As he spoke, Gu Yunge pointed to a central stone platform below, where there was a city built entirely of corals. It was rugged and magnificent beyond imagination.

At the same time, you can also see that many cultivators from the human and demon races have already started trading. The Ten Thousand Demons Assembly is held once every hundred years. The human race needs the endless resources in the deep sea, and the demon race needs the exquisite creations on the mainland. Each side gets what it needs.

In an occasion like this, no one would fight easily, otherwise they would be attacked by the top leaders of both races. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator or a sixth-order demon king would find it difficult to escape unscathed.

A few days later, the Ten Thousand Demons Ceremony officially began.

On the Twelve Heavenly Demon Platforms, there is a magic mirror on the top of each one. Six sides are controlled by human cultivators, and six sides are controlled by the demons. After being injected with magic power, the six mirror lights from the two sides reflect and blend with each other, transforming into words and forming light curtains.

These light screens appeared on the Twelve Heavenly Demon Platforms, in front of every Nascent Soul True Lord and every Sixth Order Demon King. Lu Cheng used his spiritual sense to invest in them and discovered that there were not only text introductions on them, but also exquisite graphics of trading spiritual objects. Although different from ordinary auctions, it was even more mysterious.

"The spiritual objects on the Twelve Heavenly Demon Platform are all interconnected. As long as you are determined to find them, you don't have to worry about missing them. Master Lu knows the inside story very well. If you miss this one, it will be difficult to see such a grand sight again in the future."

Master Feng Dong sat next to Lu Cheng. This was not her first time attending the Ten Thousand Demons Assembly. She told Lu Cheng all the tricks for finding the spiritual objects he needed.

What Feng Dong hinted at was the war to open up the Xuanming Sea. When the sea is dyed with blood, the human cultivators will not be able to take part in the Ten Thousand Demons Assembly.

However, this matter is beneficial to Gu Yunge. He has been planning for the Ice Phoenix for hundreds of years. It can be said that he will die if he fails. If he fails, Gu Yunge will never have another chance to pursue the path of immortality.

By that time, Gu Yunge's life was coming to an end. No one could guess whether his will was weakened or he was completely trapped in his inner demons.

If a war breaks out, he will have a better chance of taking advantage of the chaos.

Lu Cheng focused his mind and selected spiritual materials and treasures more carefully. He had quite a few demon hunting merits and spiritual stones, especially the demon hunting merits, which could be used here. Lu Cheng planned to use them up and leave the Fiery Realm after the battle with the Ice Phoenix.

He was not a cultivator from this world to begin with. He had obtained the opportunities he was entitled to and most of the Taoist books and scriptures he wanted. Only by withdrawing when necessary could he avoid getting deeper and deeper into trouble. This could be considered a way to avoid being contaminated by calamity.
