Recruit demons to become heroes, hunt demons to become gods

Chapter 304 Firmly Establishing a Foothold in the Demonic Path

Seeing that Yang Yang's poison was taking effect, her delicate body was trembling, her eyes were glazed, and she was almost losing her mind. Meanwhile, her divine soul and demonic body were also badly injured under the frenzied attack of the remnant soul creature, and her soul light was flickering and about to be extinguished. Dou Eqing was extremely anxious.

He was at a critical moment in the refining process. If he were to forcibly interrupt it now, not only would all his previous efforts be wasted, but he himself would also suffer a severe backlash, and all three of them would die!
In a flash, an extremely risky plan took shape in his mind.

He immediately communicated with the Heavenly Demon Body of the Divine Soul through telepathy, issuing an unquestionable command:
"Take her and get out of here! The farther the better!"

The Divine Soul Demon Body let out a low growl of unwillingness, but since it was originally one with Dou Eqing, it instantly understood the original body's decision.

It withstood a heavy blow from the remnant soul creature, its demonic body nearly shattered. However, using the force of the impact, it suddenly swept up the already blurred consciousness of Yang Yang, transforming it into a dim black light, and frantically fled towards the outer perimeter of the Merit Soul Abyss Forbidden Zone.

Upon seeing this, the remnant soul creature let out a sharp sneer, its attention completely focused on Dou Eqing, who appeared to be unprotected.

It did not rush to pursue, because the living furnace in front of it, which was currently engaged in "internal strife," was a greater temptation.

That's exactly what Dou Eqing wanted!
He immediately activated the unfinished refining process with all his might, but his outward behavior was completely the opposite.

His aura suddenly became chaotic, his face turned ashen, and pale golden soul blood even seeped from his seven orifices. He let out a painful and suppressed roar, as if he was engaged in a final, mutually destructive battle with the remnant soul within his body.

He deliberately displayed this tragic "fight between the snipe and the clam" clearly, intending to lure the bystander's remnant soul into taking advantage of the situation and directly possessing him.

Once the opponent's soul enters his soul sea, he is confident that he can use his home-field advantage and the residual influence of the Demon Slave Seal to turn the tables on it!
However, this remnant soul creature was extremely cunning and cautious.

It hovered around Dou Eqing, its cold divine sense scanning him repeatedly. Although it coveted him, it hesitated to personally seize his body, seemingly preferring to wait until Dou Eqing was completely exhausted before devouring him.

Time ticked by, each second feeling like a knife cutting through the air!
Dou Eqing could feel that Yang Yang's pain and burning sensation through that subtle connection were intensifying, and she wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer!

"Can't wait any longer!"

Dou Eqing steeled his heart, a hint of heartache and determination flashing in his eyes.

He slapped his forehead, forcing out a drop of pure liquid that exuded the vast life essence and the aura of the Great Dao—it was the priceless ninth-order Heavenly Origin Liquid that he had obtained from hunting remnant souls and evil creatures in the Merit Soul Abyss, exchanging it with the Boundless Merit Pearl!
Dou Eqing pretended to use this drop of ninth-tier Heavenly Origin Liquid to repair the injury to his soul.

The appearance of this object was like casting a sun into a deathly abyss!
That extremely pure primordial aura is an irresistible ultimate temptation for any soul!

"Ho-!"

The cautious, remnant soul finally let out an uncontrollable, greedy hiss.

The appearance of the ninth-tier Heavenly Origin Liquid completely shattered its rationality!

Without hesitation or regard for any risks, its entire soul transformed into a bolt of black lightning, carrying a frenzied madness that devoured everything, and directly rushed into Dou Eqing's soul sea!

It wants to seize this body and claim this peerless treasure for itself before that drop of Heavenly Origin Liquid is consumed!

"Finally took the bait!"

Dou Eqing sneered inwardly, immediately abandoning all pretense and fully activating the [Divine Soul Heavenly Demon Technique] and the power of the still-dissipating Demon Slave Seal to lay a net within his soul sea to confront this second remnant soul at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage!
He must fight quickly!

Because in the distance, there is a patient, deeply poisoned, waiting for his only salvation.

Within the Sea of ​​Souls, the winds and clouds shifted dramatically!
The intrusion of the second remnant soul at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage caused the already unstable battlefield to boil over completely.

This remnant soul was even more cunning and insidious than the previous one. As soon as it entered, it did not confront Dou Eqing's main soul head-on. Instead, it transformed into countless tiny black venomous snakes, frantically eroding every corner of the soul sea. At the same time, it greedily pounced on the ninth-order Heavenly Origin Liquid that was suspended in the center of the soul sea and emitted an alluring light.

"Evil creature! You're looking for death!"

Dou Eqing's main soul roared in anger. Although his divine soul demon body was seriously injured outside, its original will was one with Dou Eqing. At this moment, a majestic demonic shadow appeared in his soul sea, with demonic flames raging, and it was entangled with the black snakes all over the sky.

At the same time, he fully activated the power of the first remnant soul that he had just begun to refine, as well as the power of the Demon Slave Seal Contract deeply rooted in the origin of his soul.

This time, he no longer pursued complete absorption and refinement, but rather aimed for a swift and decisive victory, overwhelming the opponent and absorbing its essence!
"Demon Slave Seal, Suppress the Soul!"

Invisible chains of contract emerged from nothingness, carrying a suppressive force on the essence of the soul, and coiled around those black venomous snakes.

The remnant soul clearly hadn't expected Dou Eqing's soul to possess such a strange power, and immediately let out a sharp hiss, its movements momentarily halting.

"Devouring and absorbing all souls, take them in!"

Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Dou Eqing opened his massive maw and unleashed a terrifying suction force. Instead of slowly refining and chewing, he brutally tore apart and devoured the fragments of soul power that were temporarily imprisoned by the Demon Slave Seal!

He forcibly absorbed the other party's pure soul source and shattered understanding of the laws, ignoring the excruciating pain that his own soul was being torn apart by the impact, like drinking poison to quench thirst, all for the sake of obtaining explosive power in a short period of time!

"No—! What kind of evil technique is this?!"

The remnant soul was terrified, feeling its essence being rapidly stripped away and melted away.

Outside, Dou Eqing's seated body trembled violently, its surface even cracking and bleeding—a sign of the backlash from forcibly absorbing power beyond its limits. But in his tightly closed eyes, a frenzied will burned.

In the blink of an eye, the battle within the soul sea was nearing its end.

The consciousness of that remnant soul was completely obliterated by the Demon Slave Seal and the violent devouring power, and most of its essence was forcibly absorbed into Dou Eqing's body.

Although the process was brutal and had significant consequences, a tremendous power far exceeding that before instantly filled his limbs and bones!

"puff!"

Dou Eqing suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, but his eyes snapped open, his gaze flashing with a sharp light. Although his breathing was disordered, it carried a terrifyingly violent aura!

He temporarily suppressed the backlash and gained a brief peak of power!

Before he could fully grasp the surge of power, his divine sense instantly expanded, locking onto the direction in which Yang Yang and the Divine Soul Demon Body had fled.

There, Yang Yang's breath was as faint as a candle flame, the burning heat of the love poison almost burning through her soul, and her divine soul demon body was also at its last gasp, barely supporting a hidden barrier.

"hold onto!"

Dou Eqing let out a low roar, his figure transforming into a bloody shadow, tearing through the void, and chasing after them at top speed.

Wherever it passed, the remaining resentful souls retreated, overwhelmed by the ferocious aura that had just devoured two peak-level remnant souls.

Almost instantly, he found the two "people" hiding in a crevice of a huge blood reef.

Yang Yang lay curled up on the ground, his clothes soaked with sweat, his cheeks flushed, his eyes completely glazed, and he uttered unconscious groans of pain. His soul was fluctuating violently, as if it would burst into flames at any moment.

The Divine Soul Demon Body stood guard beside him like a broken statue, its demonic form dim and almost transparent.

Upon seeing Dou Eqing arrive, the Divine Soul Demon Body twitched slightly, conveying a weak will. It could no longer maintain its form and transformed into a simple, unadorned suit of armor, returning to Dou Eqing's body for nourishment.

Dou Eqing strode up to Yang Yang, bent down to check on her condition, and frowned.

This "Soul-Burning Love Poison" is extremely domineering and cannot be neutralized by ordinary magic. In fact, the more external force is used to suppress it, the stronger the rebound will be.

Yang Yang seemed to sense his presence, her burning hands instinctively grabbing his arm with such force that her nails almost dug into his flesh, her dazed eyes filled with pain and a primal desire.

Time is running out!

Conventional methods are no longer effective!
Dou Eqing's eyes sharpened, and he made a decision.

He helped Yang Yang up, pulled her into his arms, and sat down cross-legged.

Immediately, he activated the remnant soul insights he had just absorbed, which contained some of the mysteries of the Yin-Yang laws, and combined them with his own demonic arts, he uttered in a low voice:
"Poison arises from the soul, and desire burns the heart! I will use the soul as a guide to draw the poison into my body and dissolve it!"

He actually intended to use the massive, still unstable soul power he had just absorbed as a medium to forcibly guide a portion of the love poison in Yang Yang's body to his own, and then, relying on his powerful divine soul foundation and demonic characteristics, forcibly refine it!

This is an extremely dangerous method. If one is not careful, he himself may be poisoned by the passion and suffer irreversible consequences.

But at this moment, he had no other choice!

A powerful divine soul enveloped the two, forming a dark red cocoon of light.

Within the cocoon of light, the burning passion poison and the icy demonic energy clashed fiercely. Dou Eqing's face was contorted by the immense pain and strange shock, but he held the trembling woman in his arms tightly, without the slightest relaxation...

Whether Dou Eqing can successfully detoxify and truly harness the power he forcibly absorbed will be another severe test no less challenging than confronting the remnant soul.

The exit from the Forbidden Soul Abyss of Merit is still far away, and the crisis is far from over.

However, he underestimated the "Soul-Burning Poison," and was immediately poisoned upon contact, making him vulnerable to the "Soul-Destroying Poison."

Fortunately, Yang's condition improved somewhat, and he became a little more lucid.

Having experienced poisoning, and with Dou Eqing's greater experience in the cultivation world, she quickly devised a method to detoxify herself—soul-to-soul dual cultivation.

Now that Dou Eqing has also been poisoned, there's no need to even consider who can cure him.

She decisively used the Soul Intercourse Technique to forcibly interact with Dou Eqing's soul before informing him that the antidote required dual cultivation of soul intercourse.

As expected of poison administered by a peak Tribulation Transcending Realm cultivator, the antidote truly took a full thousand years.

Fortunately, once the soul-to-soul connection began, Dou Eqing was gradually able to resist the loss of will caused by the "burning soul love poison," and directly took Yang Yang into the Ziwei Immortal Mansion to detoxify, using the time inside to accelerate the process.

Otherwise, if they spend a thousand years, who knows what the outside world will be like? Perhaps the Sea Demon Sect will be destroyed by a coalition of major powers.

Yang Yang is a very decisive person. Since he has already practiced dual cultivation of the soul and spirit, why not take this opportunity to practice dual cultivation of the body and spirit?

So the two changed their cultivation location to the Jade Buddha Peony Flower, where they practiced together under the blessing of holy light.

Although Yang Yang's cultivation had reached the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, there was still an invisible gap between her and the veteran peak Tribulation Transcending Realm cultivators.

As for Dou Eqing, he used an opportunity in the Forbidden Soul Abyss to forcefully push his cultivation to the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, making him no match for a true peak Tribulation Transcending Realm expert.

However, through this dual cultivation of soul and body with Yang Yang, he not only solidified his cultivation at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, but also gradually digested the Dao insights he had absorbed from the remnant soul, turning them into something truly his own.

After all, Yang Yang possesses pure Yin essence at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, a rare and precious find! Its value is self-evident.

Therefore, although Dou Eqing is not yet considered a top expert among those at the peak of the Tribulation Realm, he is virtually unmatched among those who have cultivated at the peak of the Tribulation Realm for over 100,000 years. In other words, among those at the peak of the Tribulation Realm, he belongs to the peak of the middle level in terms of combat strength.

However, with the blessing of the Boundless Merit Pearl, the Devouring Demon Heavenly Art he cultivated, and the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Blade, Dou Eqing has a major advantage over other peak Tribulation Realm experts: he excels in group battles.

Because the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Blade also obtained a great opportunity in the Forbidden Soul Abyss of Merit—the Dao body and weapon spirit of Kuan Hai who perished here.

This story begins when Dou Eqing risked his life to devour remnant souls in the forbidden Abyss of Merit and Souls, encountering numerous perilous situations.

The White Tiger Demon-Slaying Blade he carried with him also felt a strong call from its very source deep within the Forbidden Abyss of Merit and Soul.

This summons, leading it, or rather Dou Eqing, to a silent space shrouded by a strange force field in the core area of ​​the forbidden zone.

There was no fierce soul battle there, nor any drifting remnant souls, only a lifelike, glass-colored skeleton sitting cross-legged, and a dark golden longsword phantom floating above the skeleton.

Although the phantom was dim, it exuded a murderous aura and sharpness that originated from the same source as the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Blade, but was even more ancient and powerful!
What's even more chilling is that although the glass skeleton was lifeless, it still contained a suffocating pressure, as if its owner had possessed earth-shattering power in life.

As Dou Eqing's White Tiger Demon-Slaying Blade approached, an unexpected change occurred.

The blade trembled violently, and the main weapon spirit within it—the White Tiger—let out a silent roar that was both sorrowful and yearning.

The dark golden longsword phantom seemed to be awakened, revealing a faint spiritual fluctuation.

A truth buried by time, intermittently seeped into the perceptions of Dou Eqing and the White Tiger spirit through the resonance between the spirits of the artifacts:

In the fierce battle tens of thousands of years ago for the "Boundless Merit Pearl," Kuan Hai successfully seized the treasure but was surrounded.

In his desperate attempt to survive, he risked everything and used the "Golden Cicada Shedding Its Shell" technique, resolutely abandoning the powerful body he had painstakingly forged.

To deceive others, he left behind a fragment of his soul to control his physical body, and caused his natal divine weapon—the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Blade with two weapon spirits—to extract most of its original essence and the "Golden Tiger" weapon spirit, transforming it into a seemingly complete "White Tiger Demon-Slaying Blade," which his physical body wielded in bloody battle to confuse the enemy.

The true body of the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Blade, carrying Kuan Hai's main soul, secretly escaped.

In the end, the divided souls on the Dao body fought to the point of annihilation, and the "golden sword" formed from most of the original essence and the golden tiger's weapon spirit was also severely damaged in the fierce battle.

But with its last vestige of spirituality, it carried the priceless body left behind by Kuan Hai and hid in the deepest part of the Merit Soul Abyss, falling into a near-eternal slumber until it was awakened by its original self today.

Over countless years, a wondrous fusion occurred.

The Dao body at the peak of the Vast Ocean Tribulation Realm, containing boundless blood and immortal Dao essence, slowly permeated and merged with the "Golden Blade" composed of its origin and the Golden Tiger weapon spirit. Sensing the return of its original body, the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Blade, the dark golden blade shadow let out a joyful cry, transforming into a pure torrent of origin, carrying the remnant consciousness of the Golden Tiger weapon spirit and the boundless essence refined from that Dao body, pouring entirely into the longsword in Dou Eqing's hand!

"Qiang——!"

The White Tiger Demon-Slaying Blade emitted a clear and resonant blade cry that shook the Soul Abyss. The blade shone brightly, and the white tiger stripes on it seemed to come alive, roaming and roaring. Beside the white tiger, a dark golden tiger phantom gradually condensed and solidified. It was the golden tiger weapon spirit that had been dormant for countless ages being reborn!

The aura of the blade rose steadily, its murderous intent soaring to the sky, its sharpness almost tearing through the void. Its grade had broken through its original constraints, directly approaching the legendary immortal grade!

This newly created (or rather, completed) White Tiger Demon-Slaying Blade is not only stronger than the "God-Demon Blade" that Kuan Hai used to wield, but more importantly, it has undergone countless ages of refinement and fused with the essence of the Dao body of a peak powerhouse. Its profound foundation and pure baleful aura are incomparable to ordinary weapons.

For Dou Eqing, who cultivates the [Demon Devouring Heavenly Art] and uses the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Blade in conjunction with his technique to absorb the life essence and cultivation of his enemies, such a treasure is a match made in heaven. Its enhancement to his combat power is far beyond what other powerful figures can achieve with their divine weapons whose attributes may not be fully compatible.

The divine weapon has returned to its place, its murderous aura soaring to the heavens.

Dou Eqing gripped the trembling, blood-drinking demonic blade, feeling the surging power within it, a burning glint in his eyes.

In this perilous and forbidden Abyss of Merit and Souls, he not only improved his cultivation but also obtained a peerless and deadly weapon that perfectly suited him, which was undoubtedly like adding wings to a tiger.

In the battles that followed, Dou Eqing indeed grew to love the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Blade even more.

Although this journey to the Forbidden Soul Abyss was fraught with peril, the rewards were immense, far exceeding expectations, and could almost be considered one of the greatest opportunities of my life.

Originally intended to heal the Divine Soul Demon, it unexpectedly allowed him to raise his cultivation level all the way to the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

But to say that he unexpectedly took Yang Yang as his woman makes the trip worthwhile.

What surprised him even more was that after Yang Yang experienced Dou Eqing's dual cultivation strength, she subtly expressed her desire to drag him down with her.

Despite how affectionate Yang Yang appears to Dou Eqing, if faced with a life-or-death crisis and betrayal as the only option, Dou Eqing might not be able to guarantee that she wouldn't waver.

Therefore, only by adding the final insurance—conquering her and making her his own—can he be 100% of one mind and forge ahead through countless tribulations.

Furthermore, the Divine Soul Demon Body devoured a portion of the Tribulation Transcending Realm Divine Soul, completely repairing its previous injuries. Dou Eqing originally planned to return immediately.

Upon learning that the Sea Demon Sect was under siege but could still put up a fight, Dou Eqing decided to stay in the Merit Soul Abyss for a while longer.

He only rushed back when the Sea Demon Cult faced a real crisis.

During this time, his two other demonic cultivators at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage received his orders and immediately rushed to the forbidden area outside the Merit Soul Abyss.

On the day they were to depart, at the edge of the forbidden land of the Merit Soul Abyss, space distorted, and four figures exuding a terrifying aura that made heaven and earth tremble slowly stepped out.

The leader was none other than Dou Eqing.

At this moment, his aura was as deep as the sea. Due to his dual cultivation with Yang Yang, his Seven Yang Sacred Body had been perfected and was showing signs of transforming into Nine Yang. The overwhelming Yang pressure mixed with the vast magic power of the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm made him seem as if he had become the center of heaven and earth simply by standing there.

The White Tiger Demon-Slaying Blade he casually held seemed to sense the surge in its master's power, emitting a pleasant hum. The murderous aura flowing through the blade intertwined with holy light, adding to its ferocity and majesty.

Beside him were three peerless experts who had also reached the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm:
Yang Yang has now completely stabilized her perfect Dao body, which was tempered by the Extreme Desire Pill and the lightning tribulation. Her skin is smooth and has a faint glassy luster. Her eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as Yang Yang's original body, but she has more inner and outer vitality and a deep aura, which is in no way weaker than the original body.

Having undergone countless dual cultivation sessions with Dou Eqing, she has received the nourishment of the Nine Yang Dao Body and is now even more alluring than her original self.

The Holy Turtle Demon Emperor (Taotie Jiamo), the enormous Taotie Dragon Turtle Beast, has mostly condensed its form, transforming into a burly man clad in ancient bone armor, his face shrouded in chaotic energy.

However, the primordial and ferocious aura could not be completely concealed, especially those eyes that seemed to hold the birth and death of the universe between their opening and closing, inspiring awe in those who beheld them.

He stood silently half a step behind Dou Eqing, his posture respectful, like the most loyal guard.

Gu Renzhai, the former rogue cultivator and old demon, was now ashen-faced, his eyes filled with resentment and fear, yet he had no choice but to force himself to be spirited and exude the pressure of a peak Tribulation Transcending cultivator.

His life and death were completely in Dou Eqing's hands, making him the most unwilling yet least daring puppet.

He possesses the combined power of four peak Tribulation Realm cultivators!
This power, no matter where it is placed in the cultivation world, is enough to stir up a monstrous wave and reshape the landscape!

If we also consider the deep-rooted power and resources of the Shanghai Demonic Cult, looking at the entire demonic path, apart from the unfathomable Judgment Hall, it is difficult for any force to directly challenge its might.

Even when faced with a joint attack from multiple ninth-tier forces, he was not helpless and could only wait to die. Instead, he had trump cards to maneuver and fight back.

Looking back, even though Kuan Hai was exceptionally talented and obtained the Immeasurable Merit Pearl, he ultimately couldn't escape the fate of perishing due to his weak position and lack of power.

If he had possessed the strength and influence that Dou Eqing holds today, his fate would have been entirely different.

Now, with the change of time and space, Dou Eqing not only possesses the Immeasurable Merit Pearl, but also has the power of four peak experts and the entire Sea Demon Sect as his backing.

Even though enemies are lurking all around him and danger lurks everywhere, the situation he faces is completely different from what Kuan Hai faced back then.

What he is about to embark on is a domineering path that is enough to shake the entire order of the demonic path!

"It's almost time."

Dou Eqing gazed in the direction of the Guixu Demon Abyss, a cold smile curving his lips.

He had already learned through secret methods that the Sea Demon Sect was under siege, but he deliberately held back, waiting for the moment when the enemy would exert all their strength and think victory was in their grasp!
Only hope that arrives in despair can truly demonstrate its value and win people's hearts.

"go!"

The four figures transformed into four streaks of light that tore through the sky, heading straight for the Ruins of Demons at an incredible speed!

The headquarters of the Sea Demon Cult is already in grave danger.

The protective array has long been shattered, and the once magnificent palace complex has been reduced to ruins.

Shouts of battle, the clash of magical weapons, and the explosions of demonic arts filled the air.

A coalition led by several major demonic sects, and guided by several powerful cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending Realm, is launching a final siege against the remaining forces of the Sea Demon Cult.

Yang Yang herself was covered in blood, her black robes were torn, and she held a broken demonic sword. She protected a group of loyal elders and disciples behind her, fighting and retreating. Although her beautiful eyes were still cold and firm, they were also tinged with a trace of fatigue and despair.

She was facing an attack from two peak Tribulation Transcending experts of the same level, and it was already quite remarkable that she had managed to hold on until now.

The reason he is still holding on is twofold: firstly, as the leader of the Sea Demon Sect, he cannot bear to abandon the sect and flee; secondly, he is waiting for Yang Yang and Dou Eqing to return.

Otherwise, she could lead these people to escape the Sea Demon Sect first and temporarily avoid their wrath.

"Yang Yang! Surrender! The Sea Demon Cult's fate is sealed!"

A leader of a rival demonic sect grinned maliciously and unleashed a massive seal, the size of a demonic mountain, which crashed down with a deafening roar.

"Hmph! Even if I die, I'll drag you all down with me!"

Yang Yang shouted fiercely, forcibly urging the little demonic energy he had left, preparing for a desperate attack.

At this critical moment——

"Who dares to touch my people?!"

A cold, domineering voice, yet imbued with supreme authority, boomed across the entire battlefield like a thunderclap from the heavens!

Before the voice had even faded, four immense and unparalleled peak-stage Tribulation Transcending pressures, like the awakening of primordial beasts, descended with a thunderous roar, resembling four invisible divine mountains!
It instantly enveloped the entire battlefield!
For a moment, the world fell silent!
Everyone engaged in the battle, whether disciples of the Sea Demon Sect or cultivators of the Allied Forces, felt a violent tremor in their souls, their movements involuntarily halting as they stared in terror in the direction from which the oppressive force emanated.

Four figures appeared, like gods and demons descending to earth, walking through the air.

The young man in the green robe, who was at the head of the group, had eyes that swept across the battlefield like lightning. His eyes finally settled on Yang Yang, who was covered in blood. A hint of heartache flashed in his eyes, which then turned into a monstrous killing intent!
"Dou...Dou Eqing?!"

"And... Sect Leader Yangyang? No, there are two?"

"Those two are... such terrifying auras! Both are at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage!"

"My God! Four peak Tribulation Transcending Realm experts!"

The allied forces were instantly thrown into an uproar, filled with terror!

The faces of the several Tribulation Transcending Realm experts who were leading the team turned deathly pale, as if they had fallen into an ice cave!

They never expected that the Sea Demon Sect would have such terrifying reinforcements, and four of them were peak experts!
Dou Eqing couldn't be bothered with those small fry. His gaze was fixed on the demonic cultivator at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage who had been the most fierce in attacking Yang Yang's true form earlier—Black Fiend Ancestor!

"Were you the one hitting the hardest just now?"

Dou Eqing's voice was calm, yet it carried a chilling undertone.

Black Fiend Ancestor's heart tightened, but he forced himself to remain calm and said:
"Dou Eqing! Stop your arrogance! We..."

Before he could finish speaking, Dou Eqing had already made his move!
"kill him."

Those three simple words were like a death sentence.

The moment he finished speaking, Yang Yang, the Holy Turtle Demon Emperor, and Gu Renzhai, who were under his control, all erupted at the same time!
Yang Yang transformed into chaotic lightning, and with a slap of her jade hand, she stirred up the remaining essence of the Demon Abyss, sealing off space and time!
The Holy Turtle Demon Emperor let out a primordial roar, revealing part of the Taotie Dragon Turtle's true form. Its nine dragon heads opened their massive mouths, and the law of devouring permeated the air!
Although Gu Renzhai was unwilling, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and unleash his magic weapon, attacking the Black Fiend Ancestor with all his might, as his life was at stake!

An attack by three peak Tribulation Transcending experts!
And it was a decisive, all-out attack!

The Black Fiend Ancestor was terrified and desperately tried to use his life-saving abilities, but it was all in vain under the overwhelming power and numbers!
"No—! Sect Leader Liu! Save me…"

He looked at his former "allies" in horror, only to find that the others had already been intimidated by the terrifying aura emanating from Dou Eqing alone and dared not make a move!

Rumble!
In just a few breaths, under the gaze of countless horrified eyes, the Black Fiend Ancestor's protective demonic light was torn apart, his magic weapon was blasted away, his physical body was pierced by Yang Yang's lightning, and his primordial spirit was about to escape when it was swallowed up by the Holy Turtle Demon Emperor!
A powerful cultivator at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, who once dominated a region, was annihilated, body and soul!
quiet!
Deathly silence!

Dou Eqing slowly walked up to Yang Yang's true form, looking at her pale face and the bloodstains on her body. He gently wiped away a trace of blood from the corner of her mouth, his movements tender, yet his voice echoed throughout the entire battlefield:
"Those who mess with Dou Eqing's women, this is their fate."

His words were both a declaration of love to Yang Yang herself and a warning to all the enemies present!

Yang Yang's body trembled slightly. Looking at the domineering man in front of her who had crushed everything with his absolute strength to "avenge" her, and feeling the complex emotions of mutual understanding from Yang Yang, her heart, which had been frozen for thousands of years, finally began to ripple.

At this moment, the concepts of Kuan Hai reincarnation and Situ title seem so pale.

To have such a man protect me with his life in this lifetime is enough.

Once again, her beautiful eyes shimmered with a mixture of relief at surviving a disaster, an indescribable emotion, and a tenderness she herself was unaware of—a tenderness that made her completely fall for him.

Dou Eqing took in her reaction; this was exactly the effect he wanted.

He knew that only by showing absolute strength and protection when she was at her most vulnerable and desperate could he completely break down her last psychological defenses and revive her long-aloof heart.

He turned around, his cold gaze sweeping over the silent, trembling allied cultivators.

"roll!"

"Or, die!"

These five simple words are like a pardon, or a final ultimatum.

The allied cultivators, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, no longer cared about face or mission. They scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in panic, wishing they had more legs.

The crisis facing the Sea Demon Sect was instantly resolved when Dou Eqing returned with four top-tier experts.

After this battle, Dou Eqing's reputation, as well as his complex and solid relationship with Yang Yang, will surely spread throughout the entire cultivation world.

His chessboard has become increasingly vast.

In fact, he could have used this opportunity to control a group of powerful demonic cultivators and use them for his own purposes.

However, in order to strike while the iron was hot and quickly conquer Yang Yang'e's mind and body, he chose to intimidate the enemy with his power rather than to kill indiscriminately and then suppress the enemy and recruit demon slaves.

He leaned down and whispered in Yang Yang's ear, his voice carrying an undeniable domineering authority and a hint of barely perceptible heat:

"Master's wife, I'm sorry I'm late. Let me heal your wounds."

He held Yang Yang in his arms and teleported directly to the ancient teleportation array leading to the Guixu Demon Abyss.
