This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 478 So you're the Ruyi True Immortal who got beaten up by the monkey!

The laws of the Demon Ruins Realm are not complicated. Xiang Yuan had undergone several blood and marrow cleansings, maximizing his aptitude, and learned them in the time it took to travel.

Bai Wuyan and Su Ran Sword Master were the same; as they fought, they gradually came to understand and master each other's techniques.

According to the rules of the Yanfu Gate, the upper limit of the Demon Ruins Realm is the Great Perfection of the Integration Stage. Beings in this realm cannot break through this framework even after a lifetime of cultivation. However, outsiders are not bound by this framework and can exhibit destructive power that exceeds the upper limit of this realm.

This is an unbearable burden for the Demon Ruins Realm, and it's also why the fight between the two powerful women is like the end of the world.

If they keep fighting day and night, they might really destroy the Demon Ruins Realm.

Xiang Yuan knew very well that the Demon Ruins Realm was now full of outsiders, and the upper limit of the Integration Stage had become a joke. The Bull Demon King's family was like this, and the three demons of Shuangcha Ridge were no exception. So he chose the Corpse Daoist as his opponent in one fell swoop.

There are four demons in Shuangcha Ridge, which is understandable. Regardless of the strength of the first three, at least they are minor characters with names and identities. Their strength may not be high, but it is not too bad either. Even if the Monkey King came, he would have to take one demon per round and three blows to pass the level.

The last one, the Corpse-Rotting Taoist, was nowhere to be found; he didn't even leave a name. This shows that this demon was in a class of its own and was the weakest of the three demons of Shuangcha Ridge.

Coincidentally, he was someone who was routinely bullied and humiliated by two powerful women, and had to endure their humiliation, even when they stepped on his face, he still had to smile and pretend to enjoy it.

They are all weak, and both are at the bottom of the team.

If you meet the matching criteria, then it's you!
The Startling Storm Blade is drawn, and the first move is Lone Star Chasing the Moon.

A streak of light tore through the sky, its roar like a dragon's cry echoing across the heavens, and it suddenly pressed down with unparalleled power.

The new version of the Demon Ruins Realm is not very friendly to monsters with mechanics, but it is very welcoming to monsters with high numerical values. Xiang Yuan has benefited from the version's benefits, and the beauty of numerical values ​​has been taken to another level, with exaggerated expressions, from killing a cow with one punch to smashing a cow to pieces with one punch...

Considering that there really is a Bull Demon King in the Demon Ruins Realm, and he has a whole family, he decided not to use this analogy.

In short, in the Demon Ruins Realm, he can unleash the beauty of numbers to his heart's content, abandoning the mindset of mechanics, pursuing the ultimate numbers and ferocious destructive power, and just go all out.

A lone star's light shot out across the sky, creating ripples in space along its path, like a torrent of water, tearing open the heavens and creating a bottomless black rift.

With terrifying force and unbelievable speed, in just an instant, the blade ripped through the sky and slashed straight toward the face of the True Immortal Ruyi.

Ruyi Zhenxian's pupils shrank in surprise, astonished that such a mere mortal possessed such terrifying strength. Those who knew him would think he was a human cultivator, but those who didn't would mistake him for a stray member of his minotaur family.

Ruyi Zhenxian dared not be negligent. He raised his long sword with both arms, and the demonic energy in his body surged wildly, forming a thick barrier to protect his body.

Clang!
The clash of swords and the clang of metal against metal resounded throughout the heavens and earth, like thunder exploding in one's ears, shaking one's mind and spirit.

A devastating storm erupted from the point of impact, with violent air currents sweeping across the land like raging waves. As the hurricane passed, it cracked the earth, caused rocks to collapse, and uprooted trees within a ten-mile radius, tossing them into the air and pulverizing them into dust.

Where swords clashed, a blinding light illuminated the entire sky, bringing daylight and becoming extremely dazzling.

Wow, even a monster that hasn't left its name is this powerful. How strong must the Bull Demon King be? Will the mission be completed smoothly?
Xiang Yuan retreated repeatedly, his arm holding the knife went numb and sore, and his eyes were filled with horror as he looked at the Corpse Taoist.

Ruyi Zhenxian tumbled several times in mid-air, his body like a rotting corpse, devoid of any pain. However, the tiger's mouth of his hands, which were gripping the sword, was cracked, and thick fluid soaked his entire palms. His gaze towards Xiang Yuan was filled with extreme fear.

Is this kid even human?
Are you sure it's not from Lao Niu's family?

Their eyes met, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes. They felt relieved and realized that although it seemed like a draw, they actually had the upper hand.

He panicked! x2
At the same time, the bullying of the weak and fear of the strong buff is triggered, the fighting spirit soars, the face is ferocious and the weapon is held and ascends, leaving afterimages in the air, and crashes hard into a place.

boom! !

Wait a minute, how can he be so strong? x2
Oh no, he's panicked again! x2
Xiang Yuan and Ruyi Zhenxian kept switching between bullying the weak and fearing the strong, sometimes thinking the opponent was ridiculously strong, and sometimes thinking they were invincible. They recklessly attacked each other, destroying everything in their path.

On the other hand, the battle between the two powerful women was completely one-sided.

Monks do not lie, and the Lord who abandoned the corpse did not lie. Lord Xiongshan, Special Scholar, and General Yin have no chance of winning against the two fairies. They don't even need the two fairies to attack together; any one of them could easily take on all three.

The one who fought against three was Sword Master Su Ran. It wasn't that she was particularly diligent in completing the mission, but rather that Xiang Yuan had taken sides and she had suffered a lot of anger.

If we can't deal with those two scoundrels, we can at least deal with you!
The sword light flashed, startling the heavens and earth, fully displaying the demeanor of a sword master.

Bai Wuyan stood silently to the side, showing no desire to make a move. She displayed the authority of a leader, making Su Ran Sword Venerable, who was vigorously rubbing against the three demons, look like a little sister.

Although Bai Wuyan did not make a move, she kept a close eye on both battlefields.

She wasn't observing Su Ran Sword Master and Xiang Yuan. She had no doubt about the former's strength, so there was no possibility of him being defeated. The latter seemed to be at a disadvantage, but his trump card, the Chaos Light, could even injure the Heavenly Emperor's physical body, so there was no possibility of him being defeated either.

Bai Wuyan observed the four demons in the field.

Demonic thoughts corrode the body, corruption seeps into the marrow!

Demonic thoughts can be good or bad. They can strengthen the primordial spirit and physical body, but they can also leave fatal flaws. Whether it is considered strengthening or weakening depends on the specific case.

Looking at the present moment, it has undoubtedly weakened the strength of the four demons.

Furthermore, the pervasive corruption in the Demon Ruins Realm weakens everything without bringing any enhancement or amplification.

They weakened the demon race's strongest physical supernatural power!
The True Immortal Ruyi is the best proof. The moment Bai Wuyan saw him, she knew that this demon's cultivation level was extraordinary, surpassing that of ordinary beings, and that his cultivation had reached the level of a demon immortal. However, due to the corruption that had seeped into his marrow, his powerful physical body had turned into a rotting corpse, greatly reducing his strength and making it difficult for him to show any outstanding performance.

Bai Wuyan watched without speaking, silently assessing the extent to which the Minotaur family, whom Xiang Yuan had praised to the skies, had been weakened in the Demon Ruins Realm.

Clang!
A long sword flashed across the sky, followed by a burst of white light.

Xiongshan-jun's dark, black head rolled to the ground, spewing out a large number of maggots from its severed neck. Its headless body flailed its arms wildly, as if trying to find its head and put it back on.

Another sword light struck, and the body, head, and weapon, the Nine-Ring Corroded Iron Staff, were all obliterated into ashes by the soaring sword light.

The primordial spirit is no exception; it can leave at any time, determined to live and die with the physical body.

General Yin was furious. His brother of many years had died tragically before his eyes. He immediately let out a long roar and swung the Ghostly Chain Whip at Sword Master Su Ran.

The forty-nine-section collarbone whip, with a ghost within each section, surges towards the Sword Master Su Ran, accompanied by a sonic attack that bewitches the primordial spirit.

The raging wave surged forth like a gentle breeze across a mountain ridge. Without even lifting the hem of the robes of the Sword Master Su Ran, a flash of white light appeared in his eyes, and the Sword of Heaven and Earth appeared, instantly killing forty-nine vengeful spirits. The remaining force continued to surge down, engulfing the location where General Yin was.

Then General Yin could no longer be found.

When his brother of many years died before his eyes, the Special Envoy was also furious, but when General Yin failed to avenge his brother and also died tragically on the spot, he was not so angry.

It's no big deal. They're just brothers. He's already in the workforce, why should he be so loyal?
Even without loyalty, you can still have as many brothers as you want!

Besides, if he couldn't survive, wouldn't his two brothers have died in vain?

Bang!

The special officer threw down the bronze dismemberment axe in his hand, his towering body thudded to his knees, and shouted that he was willing to surrender and have his life spared.

"Great Immortal, spare my life! I am willing to surrender and offer up all my possessions. Please, Great Immortal, spare my life!"

“A man’s knees are worth gold. Although you are a half-dead monster, you sincerely beg for mercy. What harm is there in letting you go?” Sword Master Su Ran put away his Dao Sword Realm, floated down, and asked Master Te to bring out all his family’s wealth.

We don't need the trash anymore; just hand over the Wind-Fixing Pearl and the Reincarnation Relic.

Special Envoy's face fell. The two treasures were the means for Shuangcha Ridge to survive and also the pass to leave this world. Without these two treasures, Shuangcha Ridge would exist in name only and would be razed to the ground by the Bull Demon King the next day.

What? It's already flattened?
That’s okay!

Circumstances dictate that the Special Envoy had no choice but to honestly reveal the burial locations of the Wind-Stabilizing Pearl and the Reincarnation Relic.

Beside her, Bai Wuyan made the first move, pointing a finger into the air and summoning the magic treasure, the Ninth-Grade Immaculate White Lotus. She then disappeared hundreds of meters underground, taking away the large iron box containing the two treasures.

Sword Master Su Ran was displeased and said coldly, "What right do you, old hag, have to snatch the treasure that I fought for? Hand it over!"

"You are judging others by your own petty standards. How could I not know about your despicable thoughts?"

Bai Wuyan coldly replied, "I know you, this lowly servant, don't trust me. I won't waste my breath on you. I'll hand these two treasures over to Xiang Yuan later so he can manage them and be fair."

"You two are like brothers, how is that fair..."

Su Ran Sword Master grumbled and pondered that since he couldn't get rid of the adulterous couple in the Demon Ruins Realm, he would take revenge when he returned to the Qian Yuan Realm.

At that time, even if she can't bully Bai Wuyan, she can still bully Xiang Yuan.

Even if we take a step back, there's still Ah Ping!

You stinking apprentice, look what your man has done!

Shang Qingmeng is one thing, but the moment she opens her mouth, even Sword Master Su Ran trembles. And with the string of little pearls, she's impossible to bully.

It can only be A-Ping!

Su Ran Sword Master is a man of his word, and he is very particular about doing things for money. He never goes back on his word once he says he will let Special Scholar off the hook.

However, Bai Wuyan did not agree.

The powerful sword light swept across the ground, rushing straight for hundreds of miles, and anything that stood in its way was cleaved in two along the dotted line.

A vertical line split open between the clerk's brows, and his iron-like body fell to the left and right. Before it even hit the ground, it was incinerated by the intense white light and vanished as a wisp of smoke.

Su Ran Sword Master: The old hag took the bull demon's things and then killed the bull demon in one fell swoop. She is indeed a ruthless and evil demon, far inferior to me.

Bai Wuyan: This lowly servant promised to spare the bull demon's life, yet she didn't even try to stop me. She truly is a ruthless and wicked demon, far inferior to me.

"Hmph!" x2
The two men scoffed in unison, showing their disdain, and floated to their feet, gazing towards the last battlefield. "Who are you, and where do you come from?"

The True Immortal Ruyi threw down his broken sword and took out the Ruyi Double Hooks. The two hooks were a pair, and their divine light was quite extraordinary. However, they did not become the key to enter and exit the gate by following the Yin-Yang reversal of the Abortion Spring as he had told the three demons.

Moreover, he also mentioned that he was in a hurry to attend the banquet today and did not bring his Ruyi Double Hooks with him.

They were just superficial brothers; not a single word of truth came out of their mouths.

Why did the True Immortal Ruyi deceive the three demons? Was Gao Niu behind it? And why was Gao Niu so determined to target Princess Iron Fan? This question is too complicated and hard to guess.

It is said that the True Immortal Ruyi stared intently at Xiang Yuan. Although he did not know where the people from outside the realm came from, the fact that they could enter and leave at the same time gave him, who had suffered greatly from the poison of this world, a chance to be reborn.

With the opportunity right before his eyes, the True Immortal Ruyi did not want to give it up, nor did he intend to tell the Bull Demon King about it; he only wanted to seize the opportunity for himself.

His eyes gleamed with dark light, a typical sign of being blinded by demonic thoughts, seeing only the benefits without considering whether he could actually reap them.

"That's what I, Li, should say. What kind of monster are you, that you possess such abilities?"

Holding the Jinglan Blade, Xiang Yuan sensed a change in the atmosphere of another battlefield and felt that he seemed to have, perhaps, possibly chosen the wrong opponent.

The Corpse-Rotting Taoist is not the weakest member of the team; he is actually the strongest, and very likely the leader of the Twin Fork Ridge. It was only because Tang Sanzang's flesh allowed them to quickly pass through the Twin Fork Ridge that the Corpse-Rotting Taoist's storyline was not introduced.

With a one in four chance, you picked the strongest one, and the bad luck that backfired was truly unbelievable.

Xiang Yuan was annoyed and vowed to get to the bottom of it, refusing to admit that he, an unknown figure in a Journey to the West film studio, had to fight three hundred rounds.

"I am the Daoist Ruyi Zhenxian, my elder brother is the Bull Demon King, my sister-in-law is Princess Iron Fan, and my nephew is the Holy Infant King!" Ruyi Zhenxian introduced himself with great arrogance.

"What? So you're the Ruyi Immortal who got beaten up by the monkey?"

"..."

Ruyi Zhenxian's face darkened. He never expected that Xiang Yuan would know that he had been beaten by the monkey.

Although it's not shameful—which of the monsters on the journey to the West hasn't been beaten by the Monkey King, and many have even died—he should be proud of his survival. However, Xiang Yuan's tone was particularly harsh, making him seem like a useless piece of trash, not worth mentioning at all.

Xiang Yuan looked at Ruyi Zhenxian in surprise, wondering what the Bull Demon King's brother was doing at Shuangcha Ridge. Surely he couldn't really be a relative, just coming over for a drink and a visit?
Then, the frustration in his heart dissipated. Ruyi Zhenxian was a named monster in the Journey to the West film studio. He had his own mountain and cave, as well as a listed company. He was not some nobody.

On second thought, I couldn't help but feel a little envious that this guy was doing business in the Land of Women.

Ruyi Zhenxian wanted to ask something more, but when she noticed two gazes looking at her from a distance, her heart skipped a beat. She dared not delay any longer and prepared to capture Xiang Yuan first, take him hostage, and then ask him for clarification.

Even now, he still hasn't considered the best of the thirty-six stratagems: to flee.

boom!
The power of the Ruyi Double Hooks far surpasses that of the Ruyi True Immortal's personal sword, and their usage is also quite ingenious.

The shadows spread like a raging torrent, crashing wildly in all directions. Several nearby mountain peaks collapsed under the sudden impact, sending rocks flying and dust billowing into the sky.

The hook-shaped shadow was not simply brute force, but rather layered upon layered, twisted and intertwined like folds in space, hazy and illusory, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.

At first glance, this hook-shaped formation seemed to be a deadly trap with no way out. Inside, there was a small world where all things evolved, including mountains, rivers, the sun, moon, and stars, all of which were formed from the hook's edge. Xiang Yuan was trapped inside and could not escape.

If Ruyi Zhenxian were to confront him head-on, relying on his Minotaur strength in a direct fight, Xiang Yuan would not be able to defeat him in a short time.

Instead of using numerical values, they insist on implementing mechanisms...

The version of Demon Ruins does not support this mechanism!

It's possible that Ruyi Zhenxian felt that his mechanics had been nerfed, and that Xiang Yuan would also be suppressed. Under the same weakening conditions, his realm was higher, so no matter how much he was weakened, he would still be a level stronger than Xiang Yuan.

Unfortunately, Xiang Yuan was too familiar with things like the evolution of heaven and earth.

Seeing the layers of hooks closing in, Xiang Yuan neither dodged nor avoided them. His figure suddenly became ethereal, and his aura changed constantly with the changes in the small world.

When the hook's shadow transforms into a mountain, it moves into the distance like a fish swimming into a deep abyss, following the contours of the mountain; when the hook's tip becomes a river, it moves like a gentle breeze caressing the water, leaving no trace on the waves; even if heaven and earth are overturned and the sun and moon are reversed, it can still adapt to the laws and principles, like a fish in water.

The combination of the Law of the Small World and the Law of Nature creates a double crushing effect. For Xiang Yuan, the small world evolved from the Hook Shadow is like returning home. No matter how the True Immortal Ruyi changes, he always has a way to deal with it.

Within a few short breaths, Ruyi Zhenxian's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he withdrew his supernatural powers in fear.

This can't go on any longer!

"Roar!!"

With a furious roar, the True Immortal Ruyi dared not be arrogant any longer. He immediately withdrew the Hook Shadow Heaven and Earth and his body suddenly swelled up.

The demonic aura surged like boiling water, and black demonic mist spewed out from his pores, revealing his true form as a three-zhang-tall white bull.

Its entire body was as white as snow, its muscles were bulging and knotted, and when its four hooves stomped on the ground, the mountain rocks cracked. Its pair of Ruyi hooks transformed into two curved and ferocious bull horns, their cold light piercing the eyes.

The demonic thoughts had little effect on the demon's true form, but the ox's eyes turned dark red and black, and the decay had a great effect on its marrow. The three-zhang-long white ox, which should have been snow-white and clean, had pale fur all over its body, covered with bluish-black corpse spots, like a specimen, with a strange waxy luster.

The bulging muscles rose and fell with each breath, but there was no sign of life; only decaying, grayish-white tendons writhed beneath the skin.

"Roar—"

The white bull raised its head and roared, the sound shaking the earth within a hundred feet. Its roar was unlike that of a normal even-toed ungulate, but more like that of a bloodthirsty beast.

The next instant, the white bull pawed the ground heavily with its front hooves. With the infusion of demonic power, the ground collapsed with a roar. Like a moving mountain, it charged fiercely into the distance with immense force.

Wherever the bull's horn passed, space distorted and air exploded like thunder.

This collision, devoid of any fancy moves, was a savage killing technique that relied purely on brute force to break through magic—a racial talent of the Minotaur race.

Strong, big and powerful!

Xiang Yuan let out a low shout, stomped his feet on the ground, creating a shockwave, and his body suddenly expanded. His clothes ripped with a 'ripping' sound, revealing his bulging, dragon-like muscles.

The three-headed, six-armed form appears!

boom!
The two numerical monsters collided without any fancy moves.

Xiang Yuan unleashed all six arms simultaneously. Two arms clamped down on the bull's horns, palms pressed against the hook blades, sparks flying everywhere. Two arms pressed against the bull's head, fingers digging into the rotting flesh like iron hoops, making the skull crack. The remaining two arms pounded the bull's neck fiercely, each punch sending putrid fluids and rotten flesh flying everywhere.

The white bull charged forward with undiminished momentum, pushing Xiang Yuan backward in a violent retreat.

Boom boom boom————

Xiang Yuan's feet carved two deep ravines into the ground, and his back smashed through three solid mountains in succession, sending rocks flying and dust billowing into the sky.

Finally, he roared, and the muscles in his six arms bulged again, abruptly stopping his retreat, his heels sinking into the rock.

The battle of wits, now officially begins!
The two numerical monsters collided with brute force, a pure clash of brute force that shook the surrounding area, causing the ground to crack inch by inch, tearing open bottomless fissures.

In an instant, the mountains collapsed, and rocks rained down.

The battle was devoid of any aesthetic appeal, and Bai Wuyan lost interest after just one glance.

Su Ran Sword Master thought so too, but Bai Wuyan was watching from the side and couldn't help but tease him: "You old hag, you don't know, he was much more energetic when he was with me that day than he is now."

If you don't use your foul mouth, you've wasted your life.

Bai Wuyan remained silent, her expression icy.

"I know you don't believe me. You're an old woman, how could you have ever seen him in such a hurry..."

Su Ran, the Sword Master, went on and on, vividly describing how they enjoyed themselves, without the slightest bit of shame.

boom!
After an incense stick's time, the veteran sports student, having passed his prime, was pinned to the ground by the tougher student. After struggling in vain, he was transformed into human form in a sorry state.

At the same time, Bai Wuyan stepped forward with murderous intent, while Su Ran, the Sword Master, stood beside her with a look of lingering relish.

Upon realizing that death was imminent, the True Immortal Ruyi immediately knew he had made a mistake. His will to live overwhelmed his demonic thoughts, and he regretted not having escaped in time.

"Great Immortal, spare me! Spare me!" The True Immortal Ruyi knelt on the ground, crying until his eyes were filled with pus.

Xiang Yuan was extremely disgusted. He called for some water to wash his hands and was about to put on a black Taoist robe when Bai Wuyan waved her hand and unleashed a torrential downpour, soaking him to the bone.

It wasn't washed properly!

Xiang Yuan looked resentful, about to complain that the rich woman's love was too heavy, when Su Ran Sword Master followed suit and also waved his hand, summoning a massive downpour.

Wash it again!
What does this have to do with you?
Xiang Yuan thought to himself, too lazy to argue with Sword Venerable Su Ran. He wiped the moisture off his body, haphazardly put on a black Daoist robe, and looked down at True Immortal Ruyi: "I can spare you, of course. I'll ask you questions, and you answer them. Tell me everything you know, and I, Li, will spare your life."

"Is what you say true, Master?"

"What a joke! Why don't you go out and ask around? I, Li Xianyuan, am an honest and reliable young man, not just someone with an undeserved reputation," Xiang Yuan said disdainfully.

If I were to leave, I would not allow you, you pretty boy, to put on airs.

Because his elder brother was a freeloader, Ruyi Zhenxian saw through Xiang Yuan's true nature at a glance. He was a pretty boy with strength comparable to that of the Niu family, so he must have been living off the fairy.

I even ate two bowls at once.

Ruyi Zhenxian secretly lamented his predicament. The man surnamed Li had said he would spare his life, but he hadn't said whether the two fairies would intervene. Instead of hoping for their mercy, he should hope that he could live a worthwhile life.

Brother, I'm really going to have to betray you now!
