Gou Dao Changsheng: Starting from the Reincarnation of a Demon Cultivator

Chapter 629 Killing the Demon King, Changing the Course of Events
On the battlefield of the ancient city, the Nine-Bend Yellow River Pearl emitted spiritual light, and the spiritual power of the Earth element transformed into clouds and mist that swirled and rolled, turning into a turbid river that swept downstream.

The winding ancient vines, fluorescent ferns, and emerald moss, a green tide formed by the spiritual power of various plants, were eroded by the spiritual power of the Earth element.

"Crash!"

The emerald green demonic power clashed violently with the brown turbid river, and the Nine-Bend True Man suppressed the Azure Wood Spirit Demon under his own power.

Fang Yi's expression was solemn. His fingertips changed into hand seals, and a blue lotus swirled beneath his feet. In an instant, he appeared behind the Crimson-Tailed Scorpion King.

Looking at the Crimson-Tailed Scorpion King's dark carapace and its nine-segmented tail, which resembled red jade, the light had dimmed slightly due to the repeated activation of its source energy.

He smiled faintly. "The time has come!"

"Crash!"

Amidst flying sand and rolling stones, Xiao Qi's dark eyes were filled with seriousness as she fully activated her demonic power to isolate the inside from the outside.

Fang Yi's left arm muscles were bulging, with ancient vines, yellowish in color, wrapped around it, and withered vines covered with wood grain, instantly expanding to a size of about ten feet.

The Forbidden Technique of Wood Road: Withered Vine Hand!

Three ancient runes circulated in his dantian, transforming into a Dharma wheel, and pure magical power descended upon him.

"Bang!!"

The large, dim handprint struck down with a seemingly slow but actually rapid motion, shattering the Crimson-tailed Scorpion's dark carapace and piercing its tender flesh. An invisible power of withering and flourishing flowed, and a flash of azure light disappeared in an instant.

"who!"

"Red Scorpion?"

"not good!"

The expressions of the two Core Formation cultivators, humans and demons, who were fighting fiercely on the battlefield, changed simultaneously.

Feeling the rising yellow sand, the Crimson-tailed Scorpion King's energy instantly weakened, and he was on the verge of death.

Jiuqu, Hulei, and Yan Youtai all beamed with joy. In perfect unison, they either activated their magical treasures or unleashed secret techniques.

In an instant, he suppressed the demon kings, including the Crimson Fire Serpent, the Elephant Lord of Subduing Waves, and the Azure Cloud Crane, putting them at a disadvantage.

Jade Pearl Immortal felt a slight sense of relief, her slender jade hand holding a jade-green pearl.

The blue waves rippled, but undercurrents surged, and the Golden-Eyed Ape King's physical body was continuously eroded.

But that was all there was to it. The Golden-Eyed Ape King was only a hair's breadth away from being a mid-grade third-tier demon body, having undergone countless trials and tribulations.

For a moment, Yuzhu was unable to escape.

Lu Xiaozi was furious. The battle had been going on for a while, and the situation was clearly much better. A third-tier demon king was seriously injured and in danger of dying.

He didn't care much about the casualties of ordinary first and second-tier demonic beasts; it was just a way to train the younger generation.

However, the fall of a demon king is a matter of shaking the very foundation and undermining the very core of the demon race.

Especially this Crimson-Tailed Scorpion King, whose innate spiritual poison has been refined to the third level, can corrode the Wuyang Grand Array.

"Don't be delusional! Humans are cunning; surely I have a backup plan!"

The Deer Demon's magical power surged, and it stopped fighting. Its antlers shone brightly, like a bright blue sun.

With a slight lift of its four hooves, it leaped into the air, its agile body hurtling towards the Yellow River Pearl.

"boom!"

Beneath the city wall, yellow sand swirled, forming a small array that isolated the inside from the outside and disrupted the flow of energy.

Inside the carapace of the Red-tailed Scorpion King, a wooden leaf is covered with tadpole-like inscriptions, shimmering with layers of blue light.

Driven by demonic power, the spirit leaf instantly turned into ashes, and a pale blue spiritual light emanated from it, transforming into gnarled blue vine armor.

Demonic supernatural power: Vine Armor Technique

"The human race is seeking death!"

The Crimson-Tailed Scorpion's face was gloomy and he was on the verge of death, but under the protection of the Green Vine Armor, he felt a little at ease.

The Vine Armor Technique was left behind by the Azure Wood Spirit Demon, refined from mid-grade third-tier spiritual material, wood vine leaves. Although it can only be activated once, at a great cost, its defense is robust, no weaker than a low-grade defensive magic weapon.

"Supernatural talismans?"
"That old monster, Aoki Reiki, is also proficient in the art of spirit talismans?"

Fang Yi raised an eyebrow, grabbed with his five fingers, and the Void Realm Withering and Flourishing Banner fluttered, dozens of chains shot out, and the Five Poison Cauldrons simultaneously bombarded down.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

The black and white chains left white spots on the green vine armor, followed by the ancient cauldron, which blasted out cracks with tremendous force.

But the Green Vine Armor operated on its own, absorbing and releasing demonic power in an endless stream, and in an instant the cracks disappeared, restoring it to its original state.

"Heh, it's my turn to make a move against the humans!"

Seeing this, the Crimson-Tailed Scorpion felt a little relieved. The third-tier blood ginseng he had swallowed released a warm medicinal power, nourishing the old wounds on his body.

"call out!"

The nine-segmented scorpion tail, gleaming with an eerie light, plunged down.

On the ancient city wall, the Yellow River's winding path and the antlers of the Azure Tree collide, each equally beautiful.

Lu Xiaozi looked at the astonished Jiuqu Zhenren and spoke calmly.

"It's just a mid-grade magic weapon. My demon horn has been refined for six hundred years. How could it be weaker than this Yellow River Pearl?"

Aoki Lingxiao's cultivation level has reached the middle stage of the third rank. He has been cultivating for a long time. Although he is not good at fighting, his energy channels are long and his demonic power is terrifyingly deep.

Even while fighting against the Nine-Bend Master, he managed to free up a hand to activate a secret technique.

"Tap! Tread!"

A pale blue demonic power rippled from its four hooves, causing the earth to tremble, ancient ferns to grow, moss to spread, and three more wooden puppets to rise.

Despite continuously activating his secret techniques, Lu Xiaozi still had energy left. He manipulated the wooden puppet to fly towards the yellow sand and the chaotic city walls, where the Red Scorpion King was located.

"Let me see which cowardly scoundrel is hiding here."

"Brother Lei!" Fang Yi's lips moved, and the secret voice was transmitted to his ears.

This Azure Wood Spirit Demon, being a wood-type demon beast, possesses extremely profound magical power.

Master Hu Lei nodded in understanding. Now, the cultivators from both the human and demon factions were really getting heated, each revealing their trump cards.

However, they were all entangled with their opponents and could not free up their hands. At this moment, the outcome depended on the Wuyang Formation.

This formation continuously draws spiritual energy, transforming it into an array that empowers cultivators with secret techniques.

If the Crimson-Tailed Scorpion King were to break through the great formation, the ancient city would be in grave danger under the onslaught of the demon tide.

With a slap of his large, fan-like hand, a simple stone tablet, a magical artifact, crashed down, blocking the two demon kings.

The two mighty hammers were linked by their energy, with dark lightning patterns flowing around them.

Gray leaden clouds gathered and stretched for dozens of miles, and yellow lightning flashed like a spirit snake.

Third-tier secret technique: [Purple Lightning Transformation]

He also made no attempt to conceal his cultivation level, striking the leaden clouds with two mighty hammers, which transformed into armor of lightning and crackling with electricity.

"Boom!"

Two single-horned thunder rhinoceroses, their limbs treading, emerged from the leaden clouds with imposing presence.

"boom!"

When Lei Xi clashed with the wooden puppet, lightning flashed like a prison, and the ancient vines were charred black.

The Thunder Rhinoceros's vital energy was damaged; lightning struck from the leaden clouds, healing its old wounds.

The wooden puppet also continuously draws upon the power of plants, causing moss to grow and ancient vines to sprout, and neither of them can defeat the other for the time being.

The Crimson-Tailed Scorpion King's face turned cold. As a third-tier demon king, he was already tough and thick-skinned. After consuming a third-tier blood ginseng, his injuries had already recovered somewhat.

"Human, if you possess a treasure for conquest, I might not be able to catch my breath."

Now you're reaping the consequences of your actions!

The crimson scorpion tail glowed with an eerie light, turning into a blur, and the spear, though feinting, did not fall towards Fang Yi.

Instead, it fell into the eye of the Wuyang Grand Formation.

Once the core of the formation is broken, the Wuyang Ancient Formation's blessing to cultivators will be greatly reduced, and the fierce battlefield will inevitably turn in favor of the demon race.

The ancient painting of the Azure Waters fluttered, transforming into layers of water curtains that blocked the scorpion's sting. Fang Yi's robes fluttered in the wind, his expression a mixture of amusement and sarcasm.

"Fellow Daoist is right. I am indeed lacking a weapon for offense."

"This Wuyang Formation must not be broken."

Fang lacks an offensive treasure, but he has a surplus of defensive treasures.

"A defensive magic weapon?" The Crimson-Tailed Scorpion King's eyes turned sinister, and it spewed out crimson poisonous mist from its mouth, visibly corroding various magical restrictions. However, the Azure Water Ancient Diagram was filled with rising water vapor and flowing azure spiritual light, remaining resilient and firmly supporting the array's core, making it impenetrable.

He pondered to himself, realizing that the Nine-Bend True Man was being suppressed by the Azure Wood Spirit Demon.

The Golden-Eyed Ape King also colluded with a Core Formation cultivator, entangled with this unknown cultivator, and the advantage still lay with the demon race.

Fang Yi's eyes gleamed, and he felt at ease.

"disease!"

An invisible medicinal fragrance appeared, but the Crimson-tailed Scorpion showed disdain as a crimson cloud blocked the fragrance.

"You want to use poison?"
"Only when I refine my scorpion venom to the third level will I become a true master of poisons!"

"is it?"

Fang Yi chuckled lightly, and the Void Realm Withering and Flourishing Banner fluttered as a large green wooden handprint was unleashed.

"Judging by the time, it's about time it started to manifest."

"when!"

As excruciating pain struck, the Crimson-Tailed Scorpion King's energy became disordered, and its face contorted in a ferocious expression.

Green and yellow threads appeared on the dark carapace, demonic power surged through the meridians, and scarlet demonic blood flowed from the seven orifices.

"It was that sneak attack! I clearly detected it beforehand; there was no spiritual poison mixed in."

He forcefully drove his scorpion tail towards Fang Yi.

Fang Yi remained calm as a spirit vine flew out from his sleeve, swaying the limp scorpion tail.

The withering and flourishing technique conceals spiritual poison; how could the Crimson-tailed Scorpion King possibly discover it?

A dim, yellowish light emanated from his arm, ancient vines clung to it, and he unleashed another withered vine strike.

Under the corrosive influence of the spiritual poison, the Crimson-Tailed Scorpion King's magical power dimmed and its soul became powerless. Even with the support of the Green Vine Armor, its weakness was discovered and its sea of ​​consciousness was shattered.

"Crash!"

The Void Realm's Withering and Flourishing Banner fluttered, and a ghostly light swirled, drawing out the struggling Crimson-Tailed Scorpion's divine soul.

Minor Soul Extraction Technique!

Holding the crimson soul bead, Fang Yi took out three spirit-sealing jade boxes and removed the seals from the inner core and the third-tier scorpion venom one by one.

'To preserve the demon core's soul intact, the secret technique of refining the spirit puppet took a lot of effort.'

'This beast tide should stop now.'

"boom!"

As the yellow sand dispersed, the chaotic energy gradually became clear.

Hu Lei, Jiu Qu, Yan You Tai, Yu Zhu, Chi Lian Huo She, Qing Xiao Yun He, Qing Mu Ling Xiao.
One by one, the Core Formation cultivators or third-tier demon kings who were fighting each other sent down their divine senses.

Which cultivator made the move?

Who ultimately won between that immortal and the Crimson-Tailed Scorpion King?

Both humans and demons, whether they are Core Formation cultivators or Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators, are eager to know the result.

"Crash!"

An ancient, verdant spirit banner stands tall, rippling with invisible waves, and wafting the fragrance of medicine.

The blue lotus banners fluttered in the wind, and emerald necklaces hung down, transforming into lotus seeds that took root, sprouted, branched out, and grew leaves.
The Five Poison Cauldron and the Void Realm Withering and Flourishing Banner were simultaneously activated.

"Tread! Tread! Tread!"

A handsome cultivator, clad in a robe that symbolizes the transformation of mountains and rivers, and carrying a small silver-white beast, emerged from the yellow sand.

Fang Yi smiled, his demeanor gentle and refined. "Greetings, fellow Daoists!"

"Fang Yi?"

"The head of Xuanyang Mountain?"

"Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

"How could it be him?"

The ancient city cultivators were overjoyed, but also had doubts in their hearts. Although Foundation Establishment cultivators were strong, could they kill the Crimson-Tailed Scorpion King?

That's a third-tier demon king who has condensed a demon core and is even stronger than a Core Formation cultivator by three points!
"Xiaoqi!"

Fang Yi patted the little beast in his arms, and a vast demonic power spread out. Qi Jie stepped on a cloud of demonic energy and fought against the Beast Demon True Man.

"A third-tier demon pet? Fang Yi has such a great opportunity!" Jade Pearl True Person's eyes narrowed slightly, his face showing astonishment.

The Golden-Eyed Ape King sensed the slight easing of the vast blue waves and glared at Seven Precepts, cursing loudly.

"A demon race traitor!"

Fang Yi changed the hand seals and activated the secret technique, with only Qi Jie able to hold off the beast demon at most.

The secret method of Mu Dao: Yi Mu is of the same vein

The aerial roots spread, connecting and blessing the flag, tripod, and pennant, and the Three Treasures, transforming them into the Blue Lotus Dharma Domain.

"Xuanzhi elevates the spirit, Wulian nourishes the Qi!"

Amidst the strong wind, Fang Yi's robes fluttered, his fingertips danced with magical gestures, and intricate hand seals were unleashed, giving rise to two near-third-tier medical secret techniques.

The green mist gathered and turned into a mouthful of green jade ganoderma, with lingering medicinal fragrance hanging down, continuously nourishing the soul.

On the ancient banner, a three-headed, six-armed demon god smiles as he plucks a flower, his compassionate aura swirling around him as he merges into a lotus flower.

The two secret techniques, 【Mysterious Ganoderma Spirit Ascension Method】 and 【Five Lotus Qi Nourishing Method】, have been upgraded to the third-tier lower grade.

Fang Yi waved his hand, pulling Qin Yu, Huo Zhao, and Li Heng, who were fighting fiercely, to his side.

"You three, please observe."

"Our greatest strength as healers lies not in curing other healers, but in changing the course of events in a region."

"Oh!"

The five-colored lotus and the azure black fungus exploded, turning into specks of starlight that fell upon the human cultivators.

"My injuries are healing!" A gray-robed Foundation Establishment cultivator exclaimed with joy as he felt the pain in his meridians, caused by the forced activation of his magical power, dissipate.

His expression was fierce as he urged the jade hook magic weapon in his hand to strike down again.

The Qi Refining junior who was being besieged felt a surge of magical power arising from his depleted dantian.

With this assistance, he wielded his magic sword and killed a first-tier high-grade red-tailed ape.
Such situations are countless on the battlefield.

With the help of medical secrets, the human cultivators nourished their souls and restored their magical power, giving them a boost in morale.

Even with the support of the Wuyang Formation, many cultivators have consumed numerous pills, leading to an accumulation of poison and a gradual decline in their strength.

However, medical secrets are different. There is no accumulation of elixirs or toxins. Even if it is only a part of the three-tiered Five Lotus Nourishing Qi Method and the Mysterious Mushroom Ascension Method, they are still effective.

It is enough to allow cultivators to catch their breath, temporarily suppress their injuries, and rise up against the odds.

The situation has changed; the balance of power between the human and demon factions has reversed!

Fang Yi changed his finger techniques again, and the phantom images of a five-colored blue lotus and a jade mushroom reappeared.

Unlike before, these two medical techniques did not nourish Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Instead, it split into three, each falling onto one of the three fake alchemists.

A five-colored lotus petal and a green sesame leaf landed precisely in the soul of Sheng Bo'an, who was fighting a near-third-tier Yin Cunning Serpent.

Feeling the nourishment within his soul, the injuries to his soul eased, and his magical power continuously recovered. He clenched his fist.

"Boom!" A purple fist shadow, accompanied by lightning, slammed out, unaffected by any injuries to the soul.

He activated the stone tablet magic weapon and, after several exchanges, finally killed the near-third-tier Yin Cunning Serpent that had been entangled with him for so long.

The other two fake alchemists from Xuan Yang Mountain, though not as accomplished as Sheng Bo'an, received assistance from Fang Yi.

The near-third-tier demonic beast, which had been locked in a fierce struggle, was gradually suppressed and forced into a disadvantageous position.

"A master of medicine?"

Once again, the Nine-Bend Yellow River Pearl was sent flying, suppressing the Nine-Bend True Man. The Green Wood Spirit Demon showed no joy whatsoever; its face was terrifyingly gloomy.

Having cultivated for hundreds of years, he possessed vast knowledge and was all too aware of the impact a third-tier spiritual healer could have on the course of a battle.

If it is alchemy, talismans, arrays, and artifacts, as the foremost of all cultivation arts, they are used to assist cultivators in their practice and support their path to immortality.

The path of spiritual healing ranks among the top of all arts because of its influence on the conflicts between major powers.

Gathering Qi, Returning to the Source, Nourishing the Soul.
A healer who reaches the third level can already influence the course of this war between humans and demons.
