Gou cultivates martial arts and seeks immortality in the world of cultivation.

Chapter 124 Demon King and Golden Core

The five strongest immortal cultivation sects in the Yan Kingdom have all arrived at this moment.

The number of experts dispatched by each sect was astonishing.

Looking into the distance, the towering Foundation Establishment auras converged together, like a boundless ocean of spiritual energy, crushing the void and causing the entire sky to tremble slightly.

A suffocating, heavy pressure permeated the world.

Those martial arts practitioners who had been hoping for a lucky break were now filled with terror.

Some people who were initially tempted by the "Martial Saint's" inheritance have now been doused with ice water and have come to their senses.

To compete with the five major sects is simply courting death.

"So many powerful individuals..."

Lu Lin swallowed hard.

In the past, they only encountered one or two Foundation Establishment cultivators, but now, the five major sects have mobilized more than five hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators in total.

As for the accompanying innate martial artists, there were nearly a thousand of them.

If so many masters were to attack together, it would be an absolutely earth-shattering scene.

The foundation of a sect with ten thousand years of history is truly terrifying!
The five major sects each stayed on the outskirts of Yanling, clearly dividing the area into five distinct regions.

At this moment, from within the five major sects, one figure from each sect soared into the sky and converged high in the air.

The one who came forward from the Demonic Sect was none other than its leader, Tuoba Feng.

"The sect leaders of the five major sects have all arrived!" Luo Siqing whispered.

Lu Lin looked up and saw the Demon Sect Master Tuoba Feng wave his hand, sending out several array flags that transformed into a light shield that enveloped the five of them, completely isolating them from the outside world.

Inside the light shield.

"Gentlemen, let's discuss how to proceed next," Tuoba Feng said first.

"How should we proceed? Your Demonic Sect was the first to discover this matter, so naturally your Demonic Sect should take the lead!" a middle-aged man dressed in blue said coldly.

This person is none other than Liu Shenhong, the sect master of the Qingping Sword Sect!
He stared at Tuoba Feng, his face grim.

The Qingping Sword Sect and the Blood Fiend Demon Sect were mortal enemies with deep-seated grudges. Several years ago, his only son, Liu Jingxuan, died at the hands of Luo Siqing. He had revealed Luo Siqing's true identity to the public and demanded that the Demon Sect take him away, but was met with a firm refusal.

This made him hate the people of the Demonic Sect to the core.

"Our sect's strength is limited, so we won't be the first to stick our necks out. On the other hand, the Sword Sect prides itself on being the best in attack and specializing in slaying demons and monsters. If they don't storm into Yanling now, when will they?" Tuoba Feng retorted sarcastically.

Liu Shenhong's eyes turned cold, his gaze sharp as a sword, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

"Gentlemen, please calm down." At this moment, the Pavilion Master of the Sacred Heart Pavilion quickly stepped in to smooth things over. "Our five sects may have had many grudges in the past, but at this moment, we must put them aside for the time being. The inheritance of martial prodigies concerns the foundation of the immortal path in the Yan Kingdom, and no one can remain unaffected. If we let it go unchecked, and someone were to cultivate a complete martial golden body, stealing the immortal path's fortune and affecting the cultivation of all of you True Immortals, then none of us could bear the consequences!"

Upon hearing this, both Tuoba Feng and Liu Shenhong's expressions turned serious, and they ceased their argument.

"Old Pavilion Master, tell me, what should we do?" After a moment of silence, Liu Shenhong asked.

Among the five major sects, the Sword Sect and the Sacred Heart Pavilion consider themselves to be righteous and have a relatively close relationship.

The head of the Sacred Heart Pavilion, with his white hair and beard, looked like an elderly man. He stroked his beard and said, "The demons of Yanling are unfathomably powerful, especially that old dragon. No one knows if it is still alive. None of our sects are a match for it. If we want to enter Yanling, the five sects must join forces and advance and retreat together!"

“I have no objection to advancing and retreating together, but how should we distribute the ‘Martial Prodigy’ inheritance after obtaining it?” This time, it was the Sect Master of the Heavenly Evil Sect who spoke.

“How about we divide it into five parts, with each of the five sects keeping one copy?” suggested the head of the Sacred Heart Pavilion.

The other four thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

With such a distribution, no martial artist could obtain the complete inheritance.

Unless someone can wipe out all five major sects at the same time.

"In that case, we shall await your command, Master!" Tuoba Feng said, then waved his hand to dispel the formation and returned to the Demon Sect area.

The other four also returned home.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Two hours later, Tuoba Feng, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly trembled slightly, opened his eyes abruptly, his gaze sharp as lightning, and gave the order: "Everyone from the Demonic Sect, listen up! Set off and enter Yanling!"

"Entering Yanling?"

Everyone was shocked.

However, everyone looked at each other, and no one moved.

Are you kidding me? There are powerful demons lurking in Yanling, and a third-tier demon king is also in charge. If we just rush in like this, what's the difference between that and suicide?

Tuoba Feng was well aware of the nature of the Demonic Sect cultivators, and immediately said, "Rest assured, the True Person has arrived! If a third-tier demon king makes a move, the True Person will handle it. Moreover, the True Person has declared that whoever finds the 'Martial Prodigy' inheritance site will be rewarded with a Breakthrough Pill!"

Breakthrough Pill?
The eyes of the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Demonic Sect instantly became incredibly fervent.

Breakthrough Pills are extremely precious, not only because the materials are hard to find, but also because the refining process is extremely difficult. Only Golden Core cultivators can refine them, and the quantity is very limited.

This pill can help Foundation Establishment cultivators break through minor realms, increasing the success rate by 50%!
"Let's go! Enter Yanling! The Demon King is being watched by a True Immortal, what's there to be afraid of in a mere second-tier Great Demon!"

"I've heard that the inner ridge of Yanling is full of spiritual herbs, so let's gather some!" The demonic cultivators were immediately excited, rubbing their hands together, their demonic light surging, and they led their innate martial artists like a flood rushing towards Yanling.

Tuoba Feng's gaze swept across the entire scene like lightning, finally landing on Lu Lin, who was about to quietly retreat.

Lu Lin inwardly groaned.

He had no intention of getting involved in this mess and originally planned to quietly retreat into the group of independent cultivators behind him to avoid this dangerous place, but he didn't expect to be spotted by Tuoba Feng.

"Charge! What are you waiting for? The Martial Saint's legacy is a sacred text of martial arts. Once you obtain it, you will achieve the Golden Body of Martial Arts and live to be eight hundred years old. How carefree and joyful that would be!" Lu Lin thought quickly and raised his arm to shout, pretending to encourage the rogue cultivators to act together. He then rushed forward and quickly joined the Demon Sect's team, arriving at Luo Siqing's side.

Sure enough, a few rogue cultivators were intrigued by his words and followed him from a distance, hoping to find an opportunity to profit.

Tuoba Feng then withdrew his gaze, a satisfied look on his face.

At the same time, the Sacred Heart Pavilion, Qingping Sword Sect, Tianxie Sect, and Puppet Sect also mobilized, with a large number of experts rushing towards the depths of Yanling like four torrents.

Phew——!
Just then, a deafening roar echoed from the depths of the Yanling Mountains.

The sound was so powerful it could pierce through gold and split rocks, reaching straight to the heavens, and was ten or a hundred times louder than thunder!
Many monks suffered a sharp pain in their eardrums and turned pale from the shock.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying demonic aura soared into the sky, transforming into dense demonic clouds.

Then, a huge creature shot into the sky.

This is a giant, fiery red bird with a wingspan of over a hundred meters, capable of blotting out the sky.

Its feathers were crimson, and it was surrounded by raging flames. With the flapping of its wings, the flames soared into the sky, turning into a scorching sea of ​​fire that surged toward the outer edge of Yanling.

Its speed was incredible; it was hundreds of miles away at first, but in just a few breaths, it was less than a hundred miles away from everyone.

Moreover, the sea of ​​fire expanded rapidly, covering an area of ​​dozens of miles in radius. The terrifying heat distorted space, and even the sun in the sky lost its luster.

Even from a great distance, everyone could feel the terrifying heat wave hitting them, making it unbearably hot.

At the same time, a terrifying pressure, like a mountain pressing down, descended, making it impossible for anyone to even think of resisting.

"A demon king! It's a third-tier demon king!" someone exclaimed in shock.

Countless people gasped in shock, their faces filled with terror.

A third-tier demon king possesses strength comparable to a Golden Core cultivator, while Foundation Establishment cultivators are worlds apart from him.

The formation of the five major sects immediately fell apart, and many people instinctively wanted to turn around and run away.

"Flaming Phoenix, you can't hold back any longer?"

At this moment, a calm and unhurried voice rang out from above Lu Lin and the others.

Suddenly, a figure appeared out of thin air.

At the same time, an extremely domineering aura spread out, instantly dissipating the demon king's terrifying pressure.

Everyone felt the pressure on their bodies ease, like drowning people regaining air, and they couldn't help but gasp for breath.

"It's the real person! Master Youxuan has arrived!" a high-ranking member of the Demon Sect exclaimed excitedly.

“It’s him!” Lu Lin’s eyes narrowed.

Because he clearly sensed that the aura emanating from this person was subtly of the same origin as the strange thing in his heart.

He was certain that this was the person who had implanted that strange object into his heart.

Master Youxuan!

Lu Lin did his best to conceal his aura, his expression solemn.

High in the heavens, True Immortal Youxuan waved his right hand, and a pitch-black demonic tower appeared. The demonic tower grew rapidly in the wind, instantly transforming into the size of a mountain, carrying unparalleled demonic power, and traversed dozens of miles of void in a flash, crashing down fiercely towards the third-tier demon king "Blazing Phoenix".

"Youxuan! You have broken the agreement. Do you intend to wage a full-scale war against my demon race?" The Flaming Phoenix spoke in human language, letting out a sharp cry.

With a sudden flap of its wings, the sea of ​​fire below surged, and an enormous pillar of fire shot into the sky, colliding violently with the descending demonic tower.

boom! ! !
A deafening roar erupted, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing. The entire void trembled violently, and endless energy storms swept in all directions.

The magic tower trembled violently and flew back.

But the massive pillar of fire was completely blasted apart by this attack.

"You demon race deliberately concealed the 'Martial Prodigy' inheritance, gifting it to martial artists in an attempt to cultivate a martial arts golden body, seize my immortal fortune, and suppress the development of my immortal path. How can we sit idly by?" The voice of True Person Youxuan was indifferent, yet it resounded throughout the surrounding area.

"You're spouting nonsense!" the Flaming Phoenix roared angrily.

"Slanderous accusations? If the demon race did not tacitly approve, how could Mu Yetong, a mere martial artist, have obtained a portion of the 'Martial Prodigy' inheritance from the depths of Yanling?" Youxuan Zhenren coldly questioned.

The fiery phoenix was speechless for a moment.

"Human cultivators are always eloquent! Chi Yan, why argue with them? Since they dared to set foot in Yanling, they should be killed without mercy!"

From the depths of the Yanling Mountains, another earth-shattering roar resounded.

The surging demonic energy soared into the sky once again, and another enormous creature rushed into the sky. Its aura was so powerful that it was in no way inferior to that of the Flaming Phoenix!
Another demon king has appeared!
