Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 542 Luring and Killing the Demonic Flood Dragon (Seeking Subscriptions)

Ten days later.

Liang Kingdom, Demon Yan Mountain.

The area is filled with demonic energy, with steep and rugged mountains containing many strange rocks, as well as countless demonic trees and herbs that grow wildly.

On these towering demonic trees, there are countless bird nests, densely packed, with millions of demonic birds circling around them.

This magical bird, called the Golden-Winged Demon Swallow, is entirely black with golden markings on its wings and crimson eyes.

The Golden-Winged Demon Swallow is violent in nature, likes to feed on evil spirits and demonic energy, lives in groups, and when hunting, it will send out hundreds of thousands of them, covering the sky and the earth.

A single Golden-Winged Demon Swallow is only a first-tier superior grade.

However, when their numbers become too large, even the True Core Demon Lord will have to give way upon encountering them.

At this moment, two streaks of light silently landed on Demon Swallow Mountain.

As the light and shadow faded, the figures of Shen Xuan and Demon Lord Wanmeng were revealed.

"This is the Demon Yan Mountain."

Demon Lord Wanmeng's eyes flickered, "These demonic swallows are fearless and not to be trifled with."

"A few hundred Ice Fiend Dragons would be enough to lure them. But there are so many Demon Swallows here, Shen Lang, do you have a solution?"

Shen Xuan's gaze swept over the sky-covering flock of demonic swallows, his expression unchanged.

Divine thoughts moved slightly.

From the insect pouch at his waist, hundreds of Yin-devouring demonic insects flew out and scattered in all directions.

Over the years, under Shen Xuan's care, the two second-tier Yin Devouring Demon Insect Kings have expanded the swarm to over ten thousand.

These hundreds of Yin-devouring demonic insects are the weakest in the swarm and are about to be eliminated.

The moment the Yin-devouring demonic insect appeared, the aura it emitted instantly detonated the swarm of demonic swallows.

"Cuck!"

A sharp, piercing screech echoed through the sky.

Thousands upon thousands of golden-winged demonic swallows, their crimson eyes locked onto the hundreds of demonic insects, and with a swift flap of their wings, they pounced as if they had spotted a delicious meal.

A massive flock of black swallows, numbering about three to five thousand, swept in, creating quite a spectacle.

Wanmeng subconsciously took a half step back, her demonic energy solidifying into a tangible form, transforming into clusters of black mandalas.

It was her innate supernatural power, [Demonic Thoughts Blossom], that protected her.

Facing the swarm of demonic swallows flying towards them, Shen Xuan pointed his fingers like a sword and gently tapped them.

A beam of [Ice Soul Divine Light] suddenly shot out from his fingertips.

The first few of the surging swarm of demonic swallows froze instantly upon contact with the [Ice Soul Divine Light].

Behind them, the Demon Swallow, still charging forward, collided with the Frozen Demon Swallow in front, and as if infected, it too was covered with a layer of crystal clear azure ice.

The following demonic swallows shrieked in terror, frantically flapping their wings to escape this terrifying, frigid space.

In the blink of an eye, half of the Golden-Winged Demon Swallows were frozen.

"Let's go!"

With a wave of his hand, Shen Xuan collected seven or eight hundred demonic swallow ice sculptures into his beast pouch.

The two figures flashed and transformed into streaks of light, leaving Demon Yan Mountain.

Behind them, hundreds of thousands of angry demonic swallows chased after them, screeching as they flapped their wings.

Leading the pack was a gigantic third-tier Demon Swallow King.

Unfortunately, they couldn't catch up at all.

Before long, Shen Xuan and Demon Lord Wanmeng disappeared into the depths of the sky.

……

three days later.

Shen Xuan and Demon Lord Wanmeng arrived at the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.

The demonic energy is even stronger here, with bones everywhere and fragments of broken demonic artifacts.

The two concealed their presence and traveled swiftly.

An hour later, they arrived at the extremely cold and yin pool.

The Cold Pool is located in a huge underground cave. The water in the pool is as black as ink and exudes an extreme chill. Wisps of icy aura overflow from the water, and the surrounding area is covered with a thick layer of black ice.

At this moment, several figures appeared near the extremely cold and yin pool.

Three strangely shaped demonic cultivators, exuding the aura of demonic cores, stood guard by the extremely cold and yin pool, setting up a blood-red killing array.

In the center of the formation, there was a large pile of Golden-Winged Demon Swallows, numbering over a hundred.

Clearly, they intended to use the Golden-Winged Demon Swallow as bait to lure and kill the Ice Demon Dragon in the Frozen Pool.

"Blood Demon Temptation Formation!"

Demon Lord Wanmeng's expression changed slightly, and she transmitted her voice to Shen Xuan.

"These three are the Netherworld Demon Lord of the Netherworld Sect, the Absolute Fiend Demon Lord of the Yin Fiend Sect, and the other one is the Boneless Demon Lord of the Corpse Refining Sect."

"They want to lure the Ice Fiend Demon Dragon out by feeding on the Demon Swallow's blood!"

The Boneless Demon Lord suddenly coughed lightly.

"Which fellow Daoist has arrived? Please show yourself."

He sensed the fluctuations in demonic energy and locked onto the location of Demon Lord Wanmeng.

Left with no other choice, Demon Lord Wanmeng revealed herself.

"Hey, Fellow Daoist Wu Gu, Fellow Daoist Jue Sha, Fellow Daoist Ming Yu, what brings you all together?"

However, the appearance of Demon Lord Wanmeng made the three members of Demon Lord Wugu feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"You didn't come alone, who else came?"

The Boneless Demon Lord scanned the area with his divine sense.

Suddenly, his expression changed.

Within a thousand feet around him, he could not detect the presence of anyone else.

"Absolute Fiend, Netherworld Prison, have you discovered anyone else?"

The Demon Lord of Absolute Evil took out a Yin Soul Banner and shook it gently.

Countless ghosts screamed and rushed out, scattering in all directions.

However, they rushed to within two zhang of Wanmeng Demon Lord, letting out even more shrill screams, and then turned back to burrow into the Yin Soul Banner.

Clearly, there is an extremely terrifying presence there.

"Fellow Daoist, show yourself!"

The three demon lords, namely the Boneless Demon Lord, the Absolute Fiend Demon Lord, and the Netherworld Demon Lord, formed a triangular formation, surrounding the Demon Lord Wanmeng.

"Such detection methods exist! Xuanbing has learned something new!"

Accompanied by a clear laugh, Shen Xuan appeared.

Demon Lord Wanmeng chuckled sweetly.

"Let me introduce you to my three fellow Daoists. This is Wanmeng's good friend, the Ice Technique Golden Core True Person of the Qingyun Sect!"

Upon hearing about Shen Xuan's background, the expressions of the three Boneless Demon Lords became even more unpleasant.

The Ice-Magic Golden Core True Man, who defeated Zhuo Wuyan of the True Meaning Sect in three breaths, has long been famous throughout the surrounding countries.

They were unwilling to engage in a direct battle with True Immortal Xuanbing. "Boneless of the Corpse Refining Sect greets True Immortal Xuanbing. May I ask what brings True Immortal Xuanbing to my Liang Kingdom?"

Shen Xuan looked towards the extremely cold and gloomy pool.

"Like you, I came here for that Ice Fiend Demon Dragon."

The Boneless Demon Lord's expression hardened.

The three of them looked at each other.

Shen Xuan stated his purpose directly, which left them at a loss.

The Demon Lord of Absolute Fiends clasped his hands in a salute: "True Master Xuanbing. Everything should be done in order of arrival. The three of us have been preparing for a long time, so please give way to us, True Master Xuanbing."

Shen Xuan smiled slightly.

"No problem. Go ahead and make your move. If you can kill this Ice Fiend Demon Dragon, I am willing to trade it fairly with several demonic weapons, Core Formation demonic objects, and longevity pills."

The three of them were somewhat tempted.

For them, demonic weapons and longevity pills are both treasures they can use.

The three discussed it for a while.

The Boneless Demon Lord said, "Very well. Let's try it first. If we fail, True Immortal Xuanbing is welcome to intervene."

To be honest, none of the three of them were entirely confident that they could kill the Ice Demon Dragon.

Shen Xuan and Demon Lord Wanmeng stood on a boulder a thousand feet away from the Extremely Yin Cold Pool.

At such a distance, even someone with the Ice Magic Golden Core stage would need some time to attack the Boneless Demon Lord and the others.

Shen Xuan's move signifies that he will temporarily stand by and let the three Boneless Demon Lords do as they see fit.

The three activated the Blood Demon-Attracting Array, and the mountain of Golden-Winged Demon Swallows all breathed their last, their blood gushing out like a fountain.

A strange, sweet-smelling odor quickly spread.

Some burrowed into the pitch-black pool of water.

The extremely cold and yin pool began to boil violently, bubbling up a series of huge bubbles.

After the bubble exploded, it released a chilling, icy aura, causing the temperature of the entire grotto to plummet and the air to seem to freeze.

"They're here! Watch out!"

The Boneless Demon Lord issued a warning in a hoarse voice.

His emaciated body was slightly hunched, and countless phantom images of corpses appeared around him.

The Demon Lord of Absolute Fiends was a female cultivator shrouded in a gray robe, holding a Yin Soul Banner in her hand. Thousands of distorted faces on the banner drew upon the Yin energy from the earth, forming a thick barrier in front of her.

The Demon Lord of the Underworld merged entirely into the shadows, with only two eerie blue ghost flames flickering and emitting strange fluctuations that imprisoned the soul.

The three demon lords were on high alert, unleashing their full demonic power as they stared intently at the churning surface of the pool.

"boom!"

A deafening roar suddenly erupted.

The entire surface of the cold pool was churned up with towering waves.

Then, a massive black shadow burst forth from the water, radiating extreme cold.

It was that Ice Demon Dragon.

It was twenty zhang long, its entire body was as black as ink, and its body was covered with thick scales. Its head was ferocious, with a single horn on its head covered with thick, turquoise ice, which pointed upwards.

The dragon's eyes were ice-blue, devoid of any emotion, only pure coldness and savagery.

It was attracted by the golden-winged swallow meat.

As soon as it appeared, it opened its dragon mouth and spewed out a jet of pitch-black, icy cold air that broke through the Blood Demon Temptation Array and froze all the Golden-Winged Demon Swallows inside.

"Take action!"

The Boneless Demon Lord roared and summoned two skeleton demons, which pounced forward.

Its aura was clearly at the level of a low-grade demonic core.

The Demon Lord of Absolute Fiend waved the Yin Soul Banner in his hand, and thousands of Yin Souls rushed towards the Ice Fiend Demon Dragon.

The Demon Lord of the Underworld flickered and split into four ghostly clones, attacking the Demon Dragon's eyes and reverse scales from the flanks.

However, the Ice Fiend Demon Dragon let out a long roar and spewed out several streams of icy cold air.

The two skeleton demons of the Boneless Demon Lord were struck by the icy aura and instantly frozen in ice.

The thousands of Yin spirits of the Demon Lord of Absolute Fiends shattered into ice shards with mournful cries and fell to the ground.

The four ghostly clones of the Netherworld Demon Lord were shattered by the icy aura of the Ice Fiend Dragon as soon as they approached it.

"Beast!"

The Boneless Demon Lord let out a strange cry, formed hand seals, and commanded the Skeleton Demon to break through the thick ice and pounce on the Ice Fiend Demon Dragon once again.

The Demon Lord of Absolute Evil spat out a mouthful of blood essence, which landed on the Yin Soul Banner.

The banner shook violently again, and a giant vengeful spirit flew out, wielding a Yin Blade, and slashed at the neck of the Ice Fiend Demon Dragon.

The Demon Lord of the Underworld revealed his true form and unleashed a chain of demonic energy that surged from the Underworld, which coiled around the body of the Ice Fiend Demon Dragon.

The three demon lords each displayed their supernatural powers and did their utmost, unleashing a torrent of demonic energy as they attacked the Ice Fiend Demon Dragon.

On the other side, on a giant rock thousands of feet away.

Demon Lord Wanmeng asked nervously, "Shen Xuan, are they any good?"

Shen Xuan shook his head.

"They can't."

Sure enough, the Ice Demon Dragon neither dodged nor avoided, but swept away the frozen flock of Golden-Winged Demon Swallows and plunged straight into the Extremely Cold Pool.

The three demon lords' supernatural attacks struck its sturdy scales, only causing a few ice shards to splash out.

The skeleton demon was sent flying backward by the shock, the vengeful spirit blade shattered, and the Netherworld Chains were corroded by the icy cold energy, its demonic light dimmed, and it crumbled inch by inch.

The Ice Fiend Flood Dragon was completely submerged in the extremely cold pool. Its icy eyes swept over the three Demon Lords, a hint of anthropomorphic disdain flashing in them.

It ceased its pursuit, and its enormous dragon body sank into the extremely cold and yin pool, splashing water everywhere.

The area around the pool was in a mess, and the three demon lords were pale and panting heavily.

In particular, the Demon Lord of the Underworld suffered damage to his natal demonic weapon and was seriously injured.

They launched a full-scale attack, employing every possible method, but they were still unable to subdue the Ice Fiend Demon Dragon.

At this moment, the Ice Demon Dragon sank into the extremely cold and yin pool, and they dared not go into the water to pursue it.

"Damn it! This beast is even more difficult to deal with than the rumors say!"

The Boneless Demon Lord gritted his teeth.

"On the shore, we can't do anything about it. But once we enter the icy pool, it's its domain, and we're even less able to do anything about it."

"The Demon Lord of Absolute Fiends said in a deep voice."

The Demon Lord of the Underworld remained silent, his breathing erratic, clearly indicating that he was in a very bad mood.

The three of them looked at each other.

For a moment, my heart was filled with sorrow.

At this moment, Shen Xuan and Demon Lord Wanmeng walked over.

"Fellow Daoists, may I now make my move?"
