Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 590: Seeking the Demon
On the Hun River.

Black flames swept across the sky like a dragon, then exploded with a deafening roar. The towering, demonic avatar breathed and exhaled, its gray aura obscuring the heavens. Countless long hairs formed from black flames covered its body, resembling some kind of humanoid beast.

Tie Sui brandished his long mace, the scent of saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal spreading out and mixing together, transforming into a chaotic mix of ruler, minister, assistant, and envoy, rampaging and exploding, overturning the green wooden dragon statue.

Countless green leaves appeared in the sky, obscuring the light and blocking the fire barrier, pressing down on Tie Sui's [Heaven-Shattering Fire Dharma Body]. Meanwhile, a touch of vibrant green light appeared in Guang Chan's hand atop the green dragon head.

In the distance, a burst of brilliant red light erupted, and countless streams of light shot out, causing the spiritual energy of this place to change drastically and become extremely chaotic.

"Spiritual Source."

Tie Sui was slightly alarmed. How long had it been? Di Chen and Xun Ya had already been forced to use this item? You must know that the illumination of spiritual lightning makes it difficult to distinguish friend from foe. Right now, even his and Guang Chan's battlefield was affected, and both of them had skin and flesh peeling off, as if they had been burned.

Without further hesitation, he activated his divine power, and countless black and gray flames erupted from his Dharma body, scattering like meteors. Hundreds of streams of fire rose into the sky, gathered in one place, and condensed into a star.

Rahu is an ominous star.

As soon as this star appeared, evil spirits spread, colliding with the opponent's green leaves. The black fire condensed into a single point and exploded with a bang, causing the green wooden dragon statue to also be affected and fall precariously.

【Kusura】

As a divine power of the ultimate fire path, it can emulate the ancient great Asura and unleash its mysteries. The only truly effective ones are the [Rahu] and [Drought] paths, which are sufficient to fight enemies.

Countless streams of azure and fire rose up, condensing into serpentine barriers. As the avatar wielding black fire pounced down, the serpents formed from water and fire bit the dragon statue tightly, spitting venom, causing the azure wood to gradually turn black.

Cover the snakes in the drought.

The beam of light in Guang Chan's hand had already reached its limit. The wood energy rubbed together, making a rumbling sound. He drew his bow, and the emerald light in his hand extended and lengthened, generating purple lightning and yang energy, spiraling around.

[Yang Xufen]

[Yu Xiang]'s protection shattered, and countless water and fire snakes lunged at him. Guang Chan stood firm without hesitation, and the [Heavenly Crack Thunderous Light] he had already pushed to its limit shot out!

This sixth-grade spell, passed down from the Heavenly Leaf Daoist lineage, [Ancient Crack] True Monarch, erupted, based on the cracking of Jia wood and the roar of thunder. The arrow, wreathed in purple lightning, instantly pierced through Tie Sui's Dharma body, leaving an empty wound above his heart.

The black fire collapsed, the Dharma body shattered, and the aura of the Iron Sui fell. However, countless serpents in the sky, carrying blue and green water and fire, had already strangled Guang Chan and were biting his body, turning the face of this Qinghua True Person as black as charcoal.

Among the five types of wood, Yuan wood and Guang wood both have methods to deal with poison. As for Yi wood, it is the lineage of using poison. If the wood-virtue cultivators of these paths were here, they would not be afraid of the poison of water and fire. However, the Jia wood he cultivated was not easy to deal with.

"Let me see what other tricks you have up your sleeve."

Tie Sui roared angrily, and at this moment he returned from his Dharma body state. There was a hole in his chest where blue light and purple lightning intertwined, which was blocked by waves of surging baleful energy and fire barriers.

【Mo Yuan Shen Sha Palace】, an ancient evil energy artifact, a superior spiritual weapon, originated from the ancient evil energy lineage 【Chen Yuan】, which is different from 【Hei Sha】, and corresponds to the supernatural power 【Mo Guang Yuan】.

The abyss swallowed the light, and the sun set in the west. This was an omen of Yang Yi's evil intentions and the destruction of his light. At this moment, it suddenly displayed its power, resisting the blue light and purple lightning, and barely maintaining his physical body.

Black flames exploded behind Tie Sui, propelling him forward like a whirlwind. The [Dazhao King's Mace] in his hand pierced through the air, striking directly at Guang Chan's head. Immediately, a roar of fire and fury resounded, filling the sky with uproar and causing widespread resentment and sorrow among the people.

【Prosperous Transport】

Guang Chan once again summoned the [Yu Xiang], and the Azure Dragon coiled up and soared into the sky like a towering tree, carrying him through the powerful iron mace.

boom!
The black fire exploded with a roar. Guang Chan was immediately poisoned by the snake venom and then struck by this powerful blow. His body became unstable, and the radiance of the wood armor on his body gradually dimmed.

No one can escape unscathed from such intense fire. This flame is extremely violent, capable of shattering metal and stone and burning trees.

Guang Chan used the magic treasure to create distance, and with a tug, a layer of carbon shell peeled off his face.

He struggled to hold on, and then slowly offered up a blue pottery jar. Inside were layers of yang soil that shimmered with a bluish-white light, with miniature black and red trees growing inside, their branches and leaves lush, as if birds and beasts came and went to roost, where ancient people built nests and lived.

Guangmu Spiritual Artifact, [Living in the Forest].

This item comes from Yin Guang and was bestowed by the Shangzong in the past. It is an omen of a vast forest in ancient times and was sealed by Shaoyang. It is very well preserved, but once the seal is broken, its effects can only be maintained for a very short time.

There's no time to hesitate now; when life and death are at stake, there's no room for stinginess.

Guang Chan offered up the pottery jar, threw it with all his might, and it shattered on the ground. The yang energy shone forth, the forest grew lush, and he himself quickly transformed into a green tree and fell down, connecting with the roots of this forest.

The poison and fire damage were all transferred into this forest, while countless amounts of wood energy were drawn back into his body, allowing his physical body to heal at an extremely fast pace.

The nature of Guangmu is to be useful. Whether it is building nests and palaces or setting fires, it is an excellent raw material. Among the virtues of wood, Yuanmu, which occupies the right position, has a very high status. Other trees avoid it, so most of them associate with Guangmu.

The green tree rose into the sky, and the forest below began to wither and die. Guang Chan transformed back into a human body, and the green dragon statue beside him slowly turned. His aura was much better than that of the other.

"Yin Guang's profound cultural heritage".

Tie Sui's gaze was deep and mysterious. At this moment, he held a blue animal skin covered with tattoos in his hand. Iron-gray energy flowed out, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was forcibly drawn and condensed on it, like specks of dust floating in the sunlight.

The [Spirit-Gathering Cloth] is a magical artifact from the sacred mountain of Konoha, belonging to the Spirit Sa path. After being blessed by twelve ancestral spirits, it has become a first-class spiritual treasure!
It should be noted that there are only about thirty ancestral spirits in the entire Liao land, which is already close to the limit that the Nian Kingdom can bear. This Spirit Gathering Cloth is blessed by nearly half of the ancestral spirits, so its power is unimaginable!

He had originally intended to use this item to deal with the armor of Tifeng Mountain, but unfortunately he suffered a setback. Now, he unhesitatingly unleashed it, its spiritual light lifting and covering down.

The wood energy rose, attempting to resist, but once it was touched by spiritual light, the wood energy turned into a dark blue color, dispelling its taboo nature. Wood children and leaf maidens emerged from it, causing a great commotion and constant quarreling, before being burned to ashes by a burst of black fire.

Lingsa is the way of the main spirit, and it is connected with the taboo of wood, the hidden earth, the hidden metal, etc. However, the transformation of water and true fire are difficult to achieve due to changes, and the connection is not close.

Of the three witches, "Tianwen" is the most dignified, in charge of the gods and stabilizing the land; "Huozhu" is the most mysterious, commanding ghosts and instigating priests; and "Lingsa" is the most heretical, in charge of spiritual matters and close to demons.

The wood elemental creature, now transformed into a taboo, broke through the opponent's defenses, causing Tie Sui's eyes to gleam. He silently murmured:

'You learned your lesson from that armor last time, let's see how you fare this time!'

A beast skin covered with hideous tattoos descended, followed by a terrifying black and gray fire lotus, causing Guang Chan's expression to change. The item in the other party's hand was a treasure of the Ling Sa Dao, and its armor-like properties made it difficult for him to exert his power in a short time.

If he were to cultivate to the level of [Ren Chunqiu], he would naturally not be afraid of this animal hide, but right now it is truly putting him in danger.

A burst of purple lightning erupted, accompanied by a symphony of resounding sounds. Using the power of [Yang Xu Fen], it evolved into thunder to try and withstand the opponent's attack. However, fire was not easy to deal with, and in an instant, the thunder overturned and blasted him away.

"die!"

Tie Sui roared, already at his limit, but this man was backed by a true Golden Core imperial family, making him much stronger than Guang Chan, who came from a declining immortal sect.

【Dazhao Wang Jian】 descended with billowing black flames, aiming to completely obliterate Guang Chan's Dharma body. Its complex and ever-changing properties, like refining a precious elixir, solidified into a mace, and finally exploded with a violent clang.

The [Auxiliary Nitrate Lord] was used to increase the intensity of the fire, and finally the [Prosperous Transport] was used to condense it into a furnace, which exploded like thunder.

Although he had cultivated to the level of fire, Tie Sui had received the Emperor's "spiritual grace," so his brain was not burned. Every time he made a move, it was after careful consideration, leading his opponent step by step to this deadly situation!
With one strike, this person's physical body should shatter and their true spirit should escape!
However, the situation was somewhat different from what Tie Sui had expected. Suddenly, a green light emanated from the wood below, and a green wood dragon coiled up, blocking the way on its own. At some point, the dragon's body was tightly bound by the [Spirit-Gathering Cloth].

This magical wood artifact, which had not been activated by anyone, now displayed its power. Its wood energy condensed into countless celestial leaves, overlapping and rising up to block Tie Sui's attack.

"?"

"?"

A sense of doubt arose in both of their minds, and they both paused for a moment.

Tie Sui refined this cloth day and night, so he knew its effects. This cloth could only generate some rudimentary spirituality, and its main purpose was to suppress and mobilize spirituality. How could he allow this spiritual treasure to undergo such a change?
If the other party were to cultivate to the level of [Ren Chunqiu], the use of this cloth for living beings would likely be difficult.

The green wooden dragon statue now seemed to have come alive, its wooden pupils turning as it looked over. Its spirituality was so strong that it was unbelievable, as if it were an ancient artifact spirit awakened by the art of hearing ghosts.

The wooden dragon soared into the sky and charged forward.

Tie hurriedly withdrew the [Spirit-Gathering Cloth], but Yu Xiang had already rushed over with a heavy aura of green wood, followed closely by Guang Chan, whose hands were poised as if drawing a bowstring.

The iron mace crashed down, and black fire exploded, knocking away the wooden dragon whose spiritual energy was rapidly dissipating. But what followed was a spiral of purple lightning and swirling blue light.

Although he didn't know what had happened to this magical treasure, Guang Chan was always decisive and would not miss an opportunity. He suppressed his injuries and activated his magic again.

[The heavens cracked and thunder roared, a radiant light appeared!]
The beam of light, like an arrow, once again pierced Tie Sui's chest, exploding along the previous wound. The baleful aura could no longer suppress the light, and the wood energy surged within his body like a dragon, while purple lightning continued to bombard him.

His physical body was nearly shattered, with most of his chest blown to nothingness. He was first wrapped in the [Spirit-Gathering Cloth] to prevent it from completely breaking apart. Then, he gritted his teeth and offered up something—a rolling mass of white flesh, radiating intense watery demonic light, with clusters of lingzhi mushrooms sprouting from it.

Without hesitation, Tie swallowed the substance, and the white jade ointment began to rapidly flow towards his injured area, repairing his body.

The azure light of Jiamu surged forth, and it attacked once more. Guangchan, despite his injuries, did not hesitate. Right now, he had to completely incapacitate it to prevent it from blocking him later in Shengle.

The two attacked simultaneously, neither giving an inch, but in the distance, a dazzling silver lightning bolt shot into the sky, its immense aura of tribulation spreading across the heavens, astonishing all who witnessed it. Tie Sui suddenly looked over and saw a black qilin descending from the sky, with countless bolts of lightning following its fall. Standing in front of the qilin was a dharma body with a dragon's head and a human body.

As for the other [Martyr] Real Person, Xiao Xueya was severely injured and fell into the river.

'Wait a minute. Didn't I use the [Ruoling Thunder Stone]? How come it's still—'

His thoughts were abruptly cut off as the aura of green wood before him transformed into countless dragons and serpents, leaving him no time to spare.
-
Silver lightning rose, and the Qilin strode through the air.

Xu Xuan was not alarmed. The reason he could not transform back into human form was because of the spirit stone. As long as he covered it, he could naturally transform back with the help of the pure qi.

Thunder and fire surged, and with a single stomp, the barren and shattered earth cracked inch by inch. Di Chen, who was enduring this blow, was mangled beyond recognition, yet he still managed to ride the crimson lightning into the sky, like a dragon carrying a pearl, soaring towards the heavens.

Among the five types of thunder, divine thunder is the fastest, followed by spiritual thunder. However, this is a conclusion based on combat. If it is really necessary to travel long distances, spiritual thunder still has the advantage in terms of mana consumption, continuous speed, and so on.

[Long Shengyu] activated, instantly widening the distance between the two. He gripped the [Ruolei Spirit Stone] tightly, and countless rays of crimson light shone down, causing the flesh and blood on Mo Lin's body to wither and char.

"it works!"

Di Chen's gaze shifted, a sharp glint in it. He had also noticed something amiss with his opponent, who was hesitant to draw his sword. How much power could this Qilin body possibly possess?

He used the spiritual lightning to create distance, while Xiao Xueya in the Hun River suddenly attacked again, using the [Divine Strike Dispeller] to gradually dissipate the black and white lightning on his body and heal his injuries.

Shen Hao's golden light soared through the air, transforming into a beam of golden light that struck the Qilin. Xiao Xueya, without the slightest hesitation, unleashed divine lightning like wings, striking down from the sky.

As the law commands!
The extreme speed of divine thunder is not only the speed of escape in combat, but also the speed of thunder bursts and the speed at which killing moves fall, all of which are first-class.

Xu Xuan did not hesitate at all. He activated his divine power, and the [Heavenly Tribulation] once again accumulated countless heavenly lightning bolts. He then stomped his foot down.

Thunder roared down like a sea, striking the [Divine Hao Gold] that resembled a golden sun. But what followed was a hazy golden blade of light, aimed directly at the unicorn's head.

"die!"

Xiao Xueya roared. He was already at his limit. This attack concentrated all his magic power and was about to severely injure his opponent.

Without hesitation, Xu Xuan opened his mouth and spat out a ball of silver lightning, which transformed into a thunder sparrow and fled with a dazzling sword intent. In an instant, it parted the blade light and pecked out both of Xiao Xueya's eyes.

"you--"

With another slash of the golden blade, Xu Xuan retreated rapidly. At the same time, Dan Ting reformed into a sword shape, moving with his will, and slashed from afar. The aura of golden punishment suddenly arose, and various punishments erupted on the opponent's body.

Xiao Xueya stopped in his tracks, his long sword fell to the ground, and he covered his neck with both hands.

A very thin line of blood appeared above.

The wondrous [Heavenly Punishment] was unleashed by Dan Ting after accumulating sufficient injuries, completing the final execution.

Xiao Xueya's head rolled off and was caught in his hands. At this moment, the sword intent, thunder, and calamity within his inner vision began to erupt, and lightning tribulations continued to accumulate in the sky.

Mo Lin raised his hoof, about to stomp down, when a streak of crimson light shot from the sky. Di Chen dared not abandon this descendant of the Liao emperor, and he could only risk his life to help him escape.

The spirit stone radiating thousands of red lightning was right in front of him. Xu Xuan did not hesitate for a moment. His silver eyes turned sinister, and his Heavenly Eye between his brows erupted once more.

Jin Hua Cui Ran, Yang Hua, Bing Hui, and Wu Guang intertwined and emerged, the illusory sun flames generated by the [Tian Gui Cheng Guang] burned continuously, spreading throughout the body under the effect of [Liu He Bing Guang], and finally, with the [Zheng Yi Wu Guang], it made Na Di Chen stagger.

With its mouth wide open, the unicorn instantly tore off the spirit stone wreathed in crimson lightning. Xu Xuan felt as if he had a ball of fire in his mouth, burning his scales off, charring his flesh, and causing new flesh to sprout from his body.

Along with it came an almost inexhaustible supply of spiritual energy. The surrounding spiritual veins seemed to be drawn by this spiritual stone, constantly drawing in an extremely vast amount of spiritual energy.

Xu Xuan felt his magical power overflowing, but his flesh and blood began to deform inch by inch. Instantly, another unicorn head grew out. The newly born unicorn head had a fierce look on its face and bit at Xu Xuan's body, spitting out silver lightning.

The longsword, covered in diamond patterns, cleaved through the newly formed unicorn head, and the black unicorn's head rolled to the ground, turning into a pool of blood that exuded a foul aura.

The silver lightning pool descended from the sky, and the [Separation of Form and Mind Image Great Technique] came in handy, solidifying the profound image. Xu Xuan opened his mouth and spat out, suppressing the spirit stone beneath him. At the same time, he affixed a black law to it, and only then was the object finally at peace.

Di Chen's body had been mostly destroyed by the sunlight. At this moment, he raised his head and struggled to get up, but a sinister dark light surged in front of him, like a black sun pressing down.

He could no longer resist, and his body was burned to ashes, leaving only a dragon formed from crimson lightning that burst forth from it, enveloped by a cloud of iron-gray mist.

Mo Lin leaped up, transforming into human form. In an instant, Dan Ting returned to his hand, and at the same time, a hideous and terrifying black armor with red patterns wrapped around his body. After recovering a great deal of mana with the help of the spirit stone, he had the energy to activate the [Water and Fire Evil Armor]!
The nine-headed beast formed from solidified light soared into the sky, blocking the opponent's path.

Xu Xuan made a distant slash, and the crimson lightning dragon let out a mournful cry. The iron-gray clouds around it dissipated, and most of its divine body fell to the ground, turning into lightning and dissipating. Only one head remained, flying away while enveloped in the iron-gray clouds. It seemed to have received some kind of guidance, which was even more difficult to stop than the Pure Land of Buddhist cultivators.

Although he did not kill this fellow, the ancestral spirit's position was pierced by the lightning, greatly damaging its aura, while a fifth star lit up in Xu Xuan's inner vision!

He drew his sword, turned around, looked at Xiao Xueya beside him, and thrust the sword straight out without the slightest hesitation.

Xiao Xueya held his head, his physical body severely injured and unable to withstand the attack any longer. At this moment, he could only summon the [Divine Hao Gold] once more. This item was as bright as the sun, more than enough to kill but not enough to protect him, and it was cleaved in two by a single sword strike.

Dan Ting pierced the opponent's body, but from the opponent's inner world, an extremely bright golden sword light shot out, so fast that it slashed over in an instant.

The Water and Fire Armor was operating at full power, with demonic water and evil fire surrounding its body, but it was cut open in an instant. At this moment, the Treasure-Nourishing Golden Man sensed it, and the light of hidden gold surged forth to resist the sword light.

Xu Xuan dared not be careless. He turned Dan Ting around and struck down with all his might, only to see the sword light gradually dissipate.

"This is the Heavenly Pivot Sword Intent."

He looked up and saw that Xiao Xueya was already riding the golden lightning to escape. With the speed of "as the law commands", he was about to escape in an instant. Xu Xuan raised his hand and offered up a golden and white spiritual flower. The smoke-like and misty Li Hui rose up.

Yin and Yang shifted, and the exterior and interior reversed. At this moment, he took out all the injuries from the [Yin-containing Land], opened his mouth and spat out a black tide that surged forth and struck Xiao Xueya hard.

This is another wonderful use of [Cheng Yi Xian Hua]. After the injury is collected in the Yin-containing place, as long as it is fully recovered, the injury stored there can be reversed and released. Although the power is greatly reduced, it does not consume one's own magic power.

Xiao Xueya's body shattered instantly, while his true spirit was enveloped by the rolling calamity. Iron-gray clouds rose and erupted, condensing into the heads of various wild beasts, which carried him away.

As a direct descendant of the Golden Core cultivator, Xu Xuan naturally understood that the other party possessed a life-saving item, and he now set his sights on that [Divine Hao Gold].

The [Lead-Protecting and Cleansing Order] was unleashed at this moment, and a beam of Xin Jin lead light rose up, carrying a chilling aura, enveloping the lightning gold. However, Xiao Xueya had already been swept away by the gray clouds and was unable to retrieve the spiritual treasure.

The golden stone formed from divine lightning slowly fell into Xu Xuan's hand. The mark on it lost its life force and was instantly wiped out by the lightning.

As he stood still with his sword, an extremely strong feedback descended. Perhaps because he had previously dispersed the Heavenly Pivot Sword Intent, this feedback was extremely intense, instantly illuminating the sixth Big Dipper star.

"One more is needed."

Xu Xuan's mind grew heavy. He looked to the north, drew his sword, and charged forward. He saw that Tie Sui and Guang Chan were both severely injured and their magical power was exhausted. Seeing that things were not going well, the Liao King summoned a magnificent palace filled with murderous aura, entered it, and instantly disappeared into the earth, leaving no trace.

"Those who are direct descendants of the Golden Core cultivators are not easy to kill."

If it were someone with a shallow foundation in the Purple Mansion realm, given the intensity of the previous battle, he would surely have beheaded them with a single sword strike. However, Tie Sui's ability to escape despite being severely injured and having his physical body shattered was beyond his expectations.

Guang Chan restrained his supernatural powers, slowly adjusted his breathing, and black flames spread from his body, instead of exploding and leaving him a bloody mess.

When he saw Xu Xuan, he looked ashamed and only said:

"Please forgive my inadequacy; it was truly unfortunate that Fellow Daoist Xu had to deal with those two Purple Mansion cultivators alone."

Guang Chan then took out two precious pills, their primordial wood energy spreading outwards. They were clearly Purple Mansion Spirit Pills. He took one and handed it to Xu Xuan.

"This item is the [One Yang Essence Pill], a sacred medicine for healing. Please, Sword Immortal, take it."

Xu Xuan did not refuse. He immediately took the elixir and quickly refined it. A surge of primordial wood energy slowly nourished his body.

Using the [Cheng Yi Xian Hua] technique, he slowly absorbed the injuries within his body into the Yin-containing space, while the nourishing properties of the Hidden Gold technique also took effect, allowing his physical body to gradually recover.

"We can't delay any longer."

He took out a decree he had obtained from the Thunder Department long ago. As soon as the decree appeared, golden lightning shot out and pointed at Sheng Le.

"Wei Hua has led his men to Sheng Le; we must rush to their aid!"

Xu Xuan's gaze was cold. To this day, he has not yet achieved his most important goal. No one from the Delightful Demon Land has appeared. Although his supernatural powers are about to be perfected, his immortal virtue remains untouched.

A faint aura of celestial demons wafted in the wind, and the [Primordial Order] activated, pointing towards Sheng Le.
