Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1383 The Power of the Demonic Body
Deep within the vast, shimmering spiritual clouds that illuminate the heavens and the earth.

A majestic black palace floats within it.

in the hall.

Each figure, exuding a vast aura, took their seat.

At this moment, all eyes were on the young figure in a green robe sitting on the imposing jade throne at the very front of the hall.

Compared to before, their eyes now showed more awe.

That epic battle not long ago is destined to be remembered by countless beings in the cultivation world of the vast eastern sea.

That was a victory that completely changed the landscape of the East.

"The battle in the Shuangyang Sea area is about to come to an end!"

Li Qing spoke calmly and indifferently.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the great battle and struggle in the Eastern World will enter its final stage!"

Upon hearing this, the last trace of confusion in the hearts of Ancestor Xuhai and the others completely dissipated, and they all showed excitement.

Prior to this, although everyone had witnessed Qingxuan Zhenjun calmly escape from the siege of the Golden Demon Kingdom's number one venerable and the terrifying demonic sword cultivators of the Ghost King Sect, and then lead them to a safe retreat, they did not know the specific details of that great battle.

At this moment, the words of the Azure Profound True Monarch undoubtedly proved that he was the ultimate winner of that great battle.

"The Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect's scheme has completely failed!"

"We're really going to win!!!"

Thinking of this, even a hint of disbelief appeared in the heart of Ancestor Xuhai.

Before this, they never dared to imagine that they could achieve final victory without the help of the three top powers in the central sea area.

The next moment, Ancestor Xuhai couldn't help but look ahead again.

Unlike the excitement of the crowd, the young figure in the green robe remained calmly seated on the majestic jade throne, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

"True Lord Qingxuan!"

"This young prodigy, a chosen one of destiny who emerged from the Luo Yun Sea, has grown to such an extent!"

Compared to others, Ancestor Xuhai felt more complex and emotional.

In terms of history, from the moment Qingxuan Zhenjun first made his mark in the Luoyun Sea, to his meteoric rise, and now to his terrifying status as a powerful figure overlooking all living beings, the Xuhai Palace has been a true witness to this journey.

"With his own strength, he reversed the course of the world and confronted two terrifying and powerful forces!"

"Such a feat, how many people in the entire Star Sea could achieve?!"

They naturally understood that the reason why the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce was going to such lengths was entirely due to the power and prestige of this Qingxuan True Monarch.

Looking at the excited crowd in the hall, Li Qing spoke again: "However, the Golden Demon Kingdom will certainly not give up easily!"

"They definitely want to gain another advantage on the battlefield. We will need all of you to continue to oversee the situation and prevent a counterattack from the Golden Demon Kingdom."

"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Qingxuan! We will certainly continue to hold the line on the battlefield."

As everyone said their goodbyes and left.

Silence returned to the main hall.

Li Qing remained seated on the majestic jade throne, a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

Normally, the upcoming battles will not see any more late-stage Nascent Soul level beings, as the clash between the two sides' strongest forces has already ended.

The Golden Demon Kingdom will inevitably continue to unleash its full force, sending its ordinary demon kings and demon beasts to attack, striving for a major victory on the main battlefield, thereby increasing its bargaining power in subsequent negotiations.

Both Li Qing himself and the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect were well aware that there was no clear winner in this great war from the very beginning, and no one could win everything.

This is also the ingenious aspect of the game behind the entire war.

"Which side is it: the Howling Sky Sect, the Azure Sky Sect, or the Desolate Ancestor Palace?!"

A cold glint flashed in Li Qing's eyes.

Because someone secretly colluded with the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect, his trump card was leaked, completely disrupting his plans.

Normally, he would gradually reveal his strength, seeking more opportunities in the process to kill the powerful demon king of the Golden Demon Kingdom's Flood Dragon lineage and help the Blood Spirit Flood Dragon advance.

However, this sudden betrayal caused his final confrontation with Venerable Jinri and Kenjaku to occur ahead of schedule.

This caused his plan to hunt down the powerful demon king of the Flood Dragon lineage to completely fail.

Now that the overall situation on the battlefield is settled, he has almost lost the possibility of making any further moves.

With his current strength, he clearly cannot single-handedly infiltrate the Golden Demon Kingdom's lair to hunt down the powerful Flood Dragon Demon King. Jian Yu's final move has already proven that that level of power is obviously beyond his current capabilities.

"Could it be Evergreen Valley?"

On the surface, only Changqing Valley had ever had a grudge against him.

A few doubts arose in Li Qing's mind.

Logically speaking, Changqing Valley wouldn't be so irreconcilable with him over a mere past argument; given the methods he's currently displaying, that would clearly be an unwise decision.

"Could it be that Evergreen Valley discovered that matter?!"

Li Qing's eyes flickered slightly.

Back in the Sealed Heaven Realm, Han Qing Zhenjun, who was the most promising candidate to advance to the late-stage peak of the Nascent Soul Realm in Changqing Valley, perished at his hands.

If Evergreen Valley is indeed targeting him, it can only be for this reason.

"But when True Monarch Hanqing perished, no one knew. Given the power of that world's seal, it was impossible for True Monarch Hanqing to have sent out the news before his fall. His spoils of war were all inside the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, making it even more impossible for them to be discovered."

After some thought, Li Qing slowly composed himself.

Regardless, he needs to be more wary of the three top powers in the central sea area; one of them is definitely trying to kill him.

"The great way is ever-changing and unpredictable!"

Even though he did his best to perfect the plan, the Blood Spirit Flood Dragon's advancement plan still encountered an unexpected problem.

At this moment.

Li Qing suddenly smiled.

"If you lose something in one place, you gain something in another!"

Deep within his soul, another scene quickly surfaced.

In another distant sea and sky.

"Xuan Shi! How dare you attack me!"

From the depths of the vast, dark, and ghostly mist, a shocked roar resounded.

At this moment, the Grand Elder of the Earth Division of the Ghost King Sect coughed up blood, and the surrounding aura surged continuously. Above his head, a black ghost claw mark token full of cracks kept shining, and black ghost patterns hung down, turning into layers of barriers.

"This is impossible. How could this be?"

Gazing at the enormous black ghost spirit ahead of the ghostly mist.

The Grand Elder of the Earth Department looked on in disbelief.

Even more unbelievable to him than Xuan Shi's sudden sneak attack was the powerful ghost spirit in front of him, which was approaching the late stage of the fourth rank.

Of course, that wasn't because of its strength, but because the enormous ghost spirit emanated an incomparably pure Netherworld essence, its massive ghostly body appearing and disappearing, merging into the void.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Heavenly Ghost, how could you possibly possess a Heavenly Ghost?"

At this moment.

A detached voice rang out.

"The Grand Elder is really hard to kill!"

"I never expected the Grand Elder to possess such a protective magical treasure!"

A young figure in black robes descended from the sky.

Li Xuan gently shook his head.

Unexpectedly, Hei Ming's sneak attack failed, as this Grand Elder of the Earth Division, a core high-ranking member of the Ghost King Sect, was protected by a special magical treasure.

"Who the hell are you?"

The Grand Elder of the Earth Department stared intently at Li Xuan and continued to ask questions.

"What makes you say that, Elder?" Li Xuan chuckled lightly. "I am Xuan Shi Demon Lord. Don't you recognize me, Elder?"

"What I'm saying is, how could you possibly possess a Heavenly Nether Ghost!" As the Grand Elder of the Earth Division of the Ghost King Sect, he naturally knew the Heavenly Nether Ghost lineage very well. It belonged to the legendary Heavenly Ghost clan, and there was no way that a ghost spirit in this sealed land could evolve into the Heavenly Nether Ghost lineage on its own.

As if he had thought of something, the Grand Elder of the Earth Department couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.

"Could this person be a pawn secretly supported by that mysterious and terrifying being from beyond the realm?"

He naturally understood that everything about the Ghost King Sect, even the sect leader, was due to the support of that mysterious and terrifying being from beyond the realm, which enabled him to advance.

Only beings of that kind can open the passage to the Heavenly Ghost Realm.

"But that being only has one disciple, Young Master Jianyu. Could it be that he also recognized this person's talent?"

Looking at the Grand Elder of the Earth Department whose expression was changing rapidly.

Li Xuan then realized what was happening.

Logically speaking, the Grand Elder of the Earth Department should have already summoned that powerful late-stage fourth-tier ghost spirit, which was worthy of respect and creation. However, he began to hesitate, probably because he had more ideas about the identity of the spirit.

However, he had no intention of continuing to entangle with the other party. He needed to kill it as soon as possible and let Hei Ming swallow that vengeful ghost spirit.

call!call!
The next moment, five giant spirit puppets of different colors appeared instantly. Whoosh! Whoosh! A vast torrent of the five elements surged into the sky, intertwining and transforming into a colorful sea of ​​clouds.
-
"With this late-stage fourth-tier ghost spirit, plus the remnant soul of the late-stage fourth-tier golden dragon I killed earlier, and the special sealed treasure I just seized made with the power of the Heavenly Nether Ghost's origin, it's enough for Hei Ming to complete his breakthrough!"

Li Qing watched the demon's actions quietly.

Logically speaking, the demon body is currently only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Even with the help of the Black Netherworld and the Five Elements Spirit Puppet Formation, killing that respected and injured fourth-tier late-stage ghost spirit is still a somewhat risky operation.

Even knowing this, he still did not choose to stop the demonic body.

Because that was the demon's own choice.

Under the influence of the Dao Seed Demon Embryo, the Demon Body is not only his incarnation, but also an independent individual.

The demonic body possesses its own unique path of demonic cultivation.

"In contrast, he escaped my inner demons and obsessions. Although he inherited my caution and scheming, he also has his own unique viciousness!"

For this reason, his will and ideas are not suitable to be imposed on the demon body.

After all, the paths they cultivate are completely different.

Excessive caution may be suitable for the path of immortal cultivation, but not for the path of demons.

Li Qing continued to watch the demon body's battle, while using his current level of cultivation and vision to convey the subtle changes on the battlefield to the demon body, pointing out its shortcomings in the battle.

As the original body, Li Qing can sense all changes in the demonic body at any time, but the demonic body cannot sense his situation; only he can actively convey all of this.

At this moment.

The battle between the demonic body and the Grand Elder of the Ghost King Sect's Earth Division had reached its most intense moment.

boom! boom!
In the azure sea.

A vast expanse of colorful clouds surged and churned, with countless colorful chains hanging down, transforming into chains that firmly imprisoned a ghost spirit over a hundred feet tall, clad in black armor, within the great formation.

At the same time, Hei Ming fully revealed his powerful foundation as a descendant of the Tianyou Ghosts.

His body transformed into a ghost, traversing heaven and earth, coordinating with the entire grand formation to launch continuous attacks on the heavily injured late-stage fourth-tier ghost spirit...

boom! boom!
Two ghostly claws, radiating immense pressure, instantly descended upon Hei Ming.

Faced with such an offensive, Hei Ming remained calm. The vast Netherworld Mist around him erupted once more, turning into a blur and disappearing instantly. Before the two ghostly claws could pursue, streaks of multicolored light had already surrounded him.

Although the Five Elements Imprisoning Yuan Formation unleashed power reaching the late Nascent Soul stage, its offensive power was still somewhat insufficient, and its offensive methods were too simplistic and inflexible.

However, the presence of Hei Ming made up for the shortcomings of the great formation. Utilizing the special characteristics of its Tianyou Ghost lineage, it moved flexibly across the battlefield, harassing and launching continuous attacks, firmly restraining the late-stage fourth-tier ghost spirit.

the other side.

The Grand Elder of the Earth Department looked increasingly uneasy and flustered.

The late-stage fourth-tier ghost spirit had already suffered severe injuries and had not yet recovered. It was only forcibly holding on. If this continued, it was feared that the previous injuries would no longer be able to be suppressed.

At this moment.

A black, demonic rainbow suddenly burst forth from the depths of the surrounding multicolored sea of ​​clouds.

"They actually dared to show themselves!"

The Grand Elder of the Earth Department looked overjoyed, as if he had found a lifeline.

The only hope right now is to kill this Xuan Shi Demon Lord.

Although he was also severely injured by the late-stage fourth-order ghost spirit, which weakened his own strength, he was still a top-tier Nascent Soul expert.

But before the look of wild joy in the eyes of the Grand Elder of the Earth Department could fade...

What happened next left him stunned in place once again.

call!call!
A unique figure emerged from the billowing, pitch-black demonic energy.

From afar, the figure was enveloped in layers of ancient, pure black scales, beneath which demonic runes appeared. On its chest, a fist-sized black primordial core shimmered with a captivating, eerie light.
Each black scale exudes a unique, primal magic that captivates all who behold it.

A lofty and noble aura of demonic cultivation was revealed between heaven and earth.

The black-robed Xuan Shi Demon Lord of yesteryear has long since vanished, replaced by a monster clad in ancient black scales.

If it weren't for the same physique and that familiar young face, the Grand Elder of the Earth Department would hardly believe that the person before him was the Xuan Shi Demon Lord.

"Who exactly is he?"

Even with the perspective of the Grand Elder of the Earth Department, he couldn't help but feel somewhat confused at this moment.

"Could it really be a disciple secretly taken in by that terrifying being from beyond the realm?!"

Judging solely from that ancient and noble aura, one could deduce that the demonic path the other party truly cultivated was extremely terrifying, far exceeding his imagination.

At this moment.

The surging demonic energy erupted once more, and a black demonic monument slowly rose into existence.

A new round of fierce fighting has broken out.

boom! boom! boom!
A black, ghostly blade slashed down, tearing through the heavens and earth. Li Xuan met it head-on, his palm, covered in ancient demonic scales, striking down with a burst of demonic energy.

At this moment, the power of the Ancient Demon Body was on full display. Li Xuan was only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but he was able to directly withstand the attack from the Earth Elder with the Ancient Demon Body.

As the battle continued, Li Xuan felt increasingly exhilarated.

This was the first time he had fully displayed his strength in his complete state, and the weakened Grand Elder of the Earth Department happened to be his opponent in the complete trial.

On the other side, the Grand Elder of the Earth Department felt increasingly desperate.

He was horrified to discover a fact.

Despite being a top-tier Nascent Soul expert, he was unable to defeat a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator and was even clearly at a disadvantage.

Those ancient black scales were like an incredibly powerful magical artifact, greatly weakening his attacks.

In addition, every time the black demonic monument fell, it forced him to deal with it with all his might.

"no no!"

The Grand Elder of the Earth Department let out a desperate roar.

The late-stage fourth-tier ghost spirit in the distance could no longer hold on; its severe injuries flared up again, and its enormous ghostly body became increasingly illusory.

"I'll drag you down with me even if I die!"

The next moment, the late-stage fourth-tier ghost spirits in the distance roared to the sky, then ignored the attacks that were piercing their ghost bodies, and suddenly launched a soul attack on Li Xuan.

At this moment, Li Xuan remained completely calm.

He had been ready for this moment to come.

Pure demonic light erupted, and the ancient pattern of ten thousand demons paying homage, engraved on the Yuanmo Stele, seemed to revive, while Li Xuan's face materialized on the Dark Throne.

at the same time.

Deep within his sea of ​​consciousness, the demonic soul that had already taken shape suddenly erupted.

The endless demonic runes on the ancient demon's body lit up simultaneously. The original core, which gathered the power of primordial demonic arts, released the most ancient and pure demonic radiance, reflecting on the demonic soul.

"impossible!"

"How could you possibly withstand the attack of a late-stage fourth-tier ghost spirit?"

boom! boom! boom!
A mournful cry echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

The massive ghostly body of the late-stage fourth-tier ghost finally couldn't hold on any longer and completely collapsed, while the Black Nether, who had been poised to attack, seized the opportunity to charge forward madly.
