Become a fairy alone

In the eyes of the Four Heavenly Emperors, Dragon Abyss was undoubtedly a place severely polluted by the dragon race. It was a place they instinctively loathed, yet it was indeed necessary for them to exist.

Even Lu Xiaotian, a Supreme Heavenly Dragon, couldn't withstand the attack of the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, let alone these remnant souls. For countless years, under the suppression of the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, Dragon Abyss has never experienced any trouble, and no dragon has been able to cause any disturbances here.

Even after Lu Xiaotian discovered this powerful remnant soul of the dragon, which still retained its self-awareness, it could only slumber within the Dragon Abyss, daring not to make the slightest move. It was precisely this caution that allowed it to evade the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine's notice.

Speaking of which, Lu Xiaotian was somewhat familiar with this extremely powerful remnant soul of the dragon race. It should be Zhulong from the ancient dragon race era.

The fact that the remnant soul of the Candle Dragon has survived in this state until now suggests that it has its own schemes. However, being suppressed beneath the Dragon Abyss, it dares not make the slightest move.

Lu Xiaotian was trapped again, his divine sense could only move around the array centered on the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine. Even if Lu Xiaotian discovered the remnant soul of the Candle Dragon, he could not make contact with it for a while.

As for Xing Rong, Lu Xiaotian did not doubt his hatred for the Dragon Seeking Division, but the other party's current cultivation level was relatively insufficient.

Even if we disregard the presence of several old monsters like Gu Changsheng personally overseeing the area around the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, it would still be extremely difficult for Xing Rong to penetrate the Dragon Abyss and reach the remnant soul of the Candle Dragon.

Moreover, Xing Rong has always been active in a relatively fixed area, and any slight abnormality would alert Gu Changsheng and Prison Master Baitai, and arouse their suspicion.

Trapped inside the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, it seemed that the Four Heavenly Emperors couldn't do anything to him for the time being, but in reality, Lu Xiaotian was under too much restriction.

Let alone how much use the remnant soul of the Candle Dragon could have, even if it were a life-saving medicine right under Lu Xiaotian's nose, that distance would still feel like an insurmountable chasm.

Lu Xiaotian shook his head and smiled wryly. For now, he should just focus on cultivating. Perhaps once his spatial laws advance further, many things he couldn't do before will become much easier.

Lu Xiaotian also had a lot to do. He needed to hurry up and repair the Lingkong Plank Road that had been destroyed by the Four Heavenly Emperors.

No one knows when the opponent's next move will come. Without this crucial life-saving measure, one's life will be completely lost.

……

At this time, a large number of demons appeared in Sword Feather City, including various tiger demons, elephant demons, flame spirits, wind beasts and many other different kinds of demons.

Aside from their different races, the things these demons do are quite similar to what happens in the immortal cities of the immortal realm.

They buy and sell medicines for healing or improving cultivation, rare and precious materials, and exchange various refining materials.

"I never thought that my true self would actually be suppressed by the Immortal Realm." An ordinary-looking man muttered to himself as he stood in front of the notice board in Sword Feather City.

Originally, the appearance of the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord was the same as that of Lu Xiaotian, but he looked more murderous and exuded a demonic aura.

Later, to avoid trouble, the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord changed his appearance and aura several times.

His sins were too great, and his infamy was widespread, so few demons were willing to submit to him.

He occasionally managed to subdue a few demon tribes with his overwhelming power, but given the backdrop of the Immortal-Demon Battlefield and his own unfortunate luck, the heavy losses suffered by the forces he forcibly subdued were the best possible outcome.

A significant portion of them were even wiped out, a situation that left the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord somewhat helpless.

Elite combat power cannot be cultivated in a short period of time. Given the turbulent situation, the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord is temporarily too lazy to manage his forces.

He lived a solitary life for a while, occasionally staying in a certain demon tribe for a period of time, leaving whenever he wanted, which was quite carefree.

The only thing that troubled him was that his cultivation had begun to stagnate. He had received some benefits from the original body when he assisted in rescuing Mu Xia, and the cultivation of the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord had been rising all the way up. Now, in the realm of the Primordial Spirit Demon Body, his cultivation was already quite outstanding.

Combining his own insights with the help of his ancestor to deduce the Twelve Forms of the Heavenly Demon, his combat power is rarely matched by anyone below the Demon Lord level. Within this realm, there are few among the demon race who can defeat him.

However, he has always been stuck outside the threshold of becoming a Demon Lord, and has spent the last tens of thousands of years striving to break through this bottleneck. He has put in a great deal of effort, but with very little result.

The Four Heavenly Emperors personally led their armies to attack the Dragon Realm. The Extreme Cloud Demon Lord had long heard about the great battle between his true self and these Heavenly Emperors. He probably knew that his true self had been suppressed by the other side, but he had heard countless versions of the story from too many sources, and the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord was not clear about the actual situation.

While feeling a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, mixed feelings), he didn't have many other thoughts. Before his true form had advanced to the Heavenly Dragon realm, he had witnessed his true form battling other Immortal Lord-level powerhouses in Muye.

That level was simply beyond his reach, not to mention what he would achieve after entering the Heavenly Dragon Realm.

On the other hand, there was no reliable source of information, and the unexpected appearance of this notice made the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord have some thoughts.

According to the announcement, the limbs and torso of the original body were torn to pieces by the Dragon-Slaying Cleaver and scattered in the spatial rifts of the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Mirror.

The Extreme Cloud Demon Lord has reached a bottleneck in his cultivation. Perhaps it is because he is merely a projection clone, which inherently limits him greatly, and he sees no hope of breaking through at this point.

If he continues his cultivation in a normal, step-by-step manner, it will be difficult to achieve much progress later on, and ordinary treasures will not be of much use to him.

However, things related to the original body are excluded; he was originally a projection clone of the original body that had been demonized.

Seeing the greedy looks in the eyes of the other demons in Sword Feather City, Demon Lord Jiyun sneered inwardly.

These ants certainly don't have the strength to reach the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Realm.

Even if they were incredibly lucky and managed to find the original body's limbs, with their cultivation level, trying to get close to it would be tantamount to courting death.

Even if the power of the Heavenly Dragon Mirror is only a partial remnant, it is by no means something that these demons can easily digest. It would be good enough if they didn't explode and die. Even those demon lord-level powerhouses would find it difficult to achieve their goal.

The Extreme Cloud Demon Lord couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. Other demons found it difficult to digest, and some couldn't even find the power left behind by the original demon.

But he was different; he was a projection of the original body. Although the power of the Heavenly Dragon Realm was too strong for him, it wasn't impossible to refine it. Even absorbing just a tiny bit of it to solidify his foundation might change his current awkward situation.

Moreover, he has a unique advantage over other demons in searching for the body parts of his original form.

As for the veracity of the notice, the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord didn't doubt it too much after a moment's thought. He figured even the Demon Emperors didn't know the whereabouts of his remains, so this widespread announcement was a good way to send some reckless juniors to investigate. If they managed to find out the location of his remains, it would be incredibly profitable. The Immortal Realm had probably already released the information because they couldn't find it for a while. Given the Immortal Realm's hostile attitude towards the Dragon Clan, they wouldn't fabricate anything like this; it wouldn't benefit them at all.

Extreme Cloud Demon Lord was well aware of the dangers of going to the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Realm. With his cultivation level, he might encounter demons or monsters and lose his life before even reaching his destination.

However, compared to these dangers, the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord was even less willing to live such a mediocre life.

Obtaining something related to his true self to compensate for his inherent flaws is far more useful than blindly continuing to cultivate. The Extreme Cloud Demon Lord's gaze hardened; this trip was something he absolutely had to take.

Just as he made this decision, the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord suddenly sensed some unusual activity around him.

A chilling aura wafted in from an unknown corner, making him shiver involuntarily.

Extreme Cloud Demon Lord's eyes darkened. This aura was coming towards him, and the other party's cultivation was much higher than his, already reaching the level of Demon Lord.

Being targeted by such a powerful figure would undoubtedly be extremely troublesome. Over the years, he has killed countless people, and many powerful beings from the Immortal Realm, Ghost Realm, and Demon Realm have fallen at his hands.

At the same time, he also killed quite a few demons of various races, and naturally, he also had many enemies among them.

Among so many grudges, it's possible that someone managed to persuade the Demon Lord to intervene, though it's difficult, it's not impossible.

If he were to be targeted by any demon lord, he might not even be able to leave the demon realm alive, let alone reach the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Realm.

After a brief hesitation, the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord swiftly left the city.

Fighting and killing are forbidden within Sword Feather City, but rules are always made for the weak. The Extreme Cloud Demon Lord has always held the power of life and death over those whose cultivation and strength are inferior to his own; given the absolute difference in strength, he doesn't believe in rules.

He should leave the city immediately, giving the enemy no more time to prepare. Even if a demon lord-level expert personally pursues him, he will still have a chance to escape.

Once the other party has completely locked onto him, or uses their superior cultivation level to secretly sabotage him, even escaping will become a luxury.

"No need to rush away, I have something to discuss with you." Just as the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord was rapidly moving towards the city gate, a faint voice entered his ears.

"The Ice and Snow Enchantress?" The Extreme Cloud Demon Lord slapped his forehead. Just from that chilling aura, he should have known who the newcomer was.

It's like the flood washed away the Dragon King's temple. Dongfang Yi may not have a good impression of him, but the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord would never believe that he would attack him for no reason.

Even out of respect for the original owner, the other party wouldn't do anything to him. It's also because he has committed too many murders over the years, made many enemies, and is often hunted down by them, keeping him in a state of high tension and making him somewhat paranoid.

In a short while, the Demon Lord of Extreme Clouds arrived at an inconspicuous courtyard in the city. Inside, a woman in white with a cloak was sitting and playing a zither.

"What do you want with me?" The Extreme Cloud Demon Lord was somewhat surprised, then envious that Dongfang Yi had entered the Demon Lord Realm before him. This was a realm he had longed for but could not attain.

In fact, although he made the decision to go to the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Realm, he was still very uneasy.

The original body's cultivation level is too high, and the gap between the two sides is too great. Even if he obtains the original body's limbs, whether he can successfully transform them into his own is still unknown. If he had Dongfang Yi's cultivation level now, the situation would be different.

"After seeing the notice, you must have some thoughts on it, right?" Dongfang Yi didn't answer the other person's question, but instead asked.

"I really want to go and try my luck." For anyone else whose background he didn't know, the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord certainly wouldn't be so direct, but he and Dongfang Yi knew each other inside and out. The other party knew he was Lu Xiaotian's clone the moment they met, so denying it in front of Dongfang Yi was pointless.

“Help me kill someone. After you’ve done this, I’ll come with you,” Dongfang Yi said.

"If you can't even do it with your cultivation level, wouldn't it be a bit redundant to ask me to help?" The Extreme Cloud Demon Lord frowned. He didn't want to easily get involved in a battle at the Demon Lord level.

“Although your cultivation is a bit lacking, your ability to conceal yourself is quite good. The other party is focusing most of their attention on me and is unaware of your existence for the time being. My forces are also within the Ice Shadow Clan's sights, but we don't need them right now, so you are the best candidate,” Dongfang Yi said.

"Why should I help you? Even if I find my body parts, you won't hand them over to me," the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord sneered.

"Don't even think about Lu Xiaotian's limbs. With your current cultivation level, you simply can't digest them," Dongfang Yi said bluntly.

"Since that's the case, there's no basis for us to cooperate."

"What you need most right now is to cultivate to the level of a demon lord. As long as you can find Lu Xiaotian's body parts, you will have a chance to absorb some of his aura. If you want to be greedy for more, you are being too ambitious."

"It's not just the Immortal Realm, but also the Demon Realm and other realms. Even the powerful beings from the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Realm have heard the news and are making moves. Compared to these powerful beings, my cultivation level is nothing. Don't have too high expectations," Dongfang Yi said.

The Demon Lord of Extreme Clouds asked, "If that's the case, why did you still go and join in the fun? It's said that a large amount of Nine Nether Weak Water is scattered in different spatial rifts."

Dongfang Yi said, "With your cultivation level, let alone reaching the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Realm, even if you were lucky enough to find it, if you really encountered the Nine Nether Weak Water, you would not escape being swallowed by the Weak Water and being destroyed in body and soul."

"Even you wouldn't have a good solution for the vast amount of Nine Nether Weak Water, would you?" said the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord, unconvinced.

"After the Ice Shadow Clan cultivates to the level of Demon Lord, their physique will undergo extremely mysterious changes. They can use special methods to integrate it into the Floating Life Demon Ice and refine it into the Floating Life Boat. When they encounter the Nine Nether Weak Water, they can sail on the Weak Water.

"We can refine the Floating Life Boat while we're on our journey. This method is extremely dangerous, but given your cultivation level, you probably don't have a better choice," Dongfang Yi said calmly. "And I don't intend to give you any other options."

Dongfang Yi is indeed domineering, but even the Venerable One himself is quite polite to this woman, making their relationship extremely complicated.

It's not a big deal if he, as a projection clone, suffers a little loss at the hands of the other party.

The Demon Lord of Extreme Clouds snorted coldly, realizing that there was indeed no better solution for the time being. His cultivation had resulted in too much bloodshed, and he had made many enemies in the demon realm.

His cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and he saw no hope of breaking through for the time being. (End of Chapter)
