Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1431 Late-Stage Fourth-Order Demon Cultivator

The poisonous land is deadly.

A phantom of an ancient, grayish-white serpent with wings that blot out the sky struggled frantically. As its emerald green wings flapped, it unleashed endless emerald green poisonous mist, which transformed into torrents that eroded the heavens and earth.

At this moment.

Deep within the ancient serpent's phantom image, the humanoid figure that had been frantically twisting and transforming into a serpent's body began to quiet down.

A hint of clarity began to emerge from the depths of those savage, emerald-green vertical pupils.

Threads of faint sounds kept emanating from that mouth full of sharp white teeth. It was no longer the beastly roar of before, but a faint human voice. Upon closer listening, the voice was reciting an ancient text by a sage.

The sound gradually became clearer, and various ancient Chinese classics and masterpieces were revealed.

Those seemingly ordinary ancient texts of moral instruction became Liu Ying's lifeline at this moment.

The recitation grew louder, and the monster's figure, covered in emerald green scales, began to exude a refined and gentle air.

Liu Ying began to actively forget her current crisis situation.

He was transported back to those scenes deep in his memory.

One by one, young children with innocent and bewildered faces came to study, led by their ordinary parents.

In his school, regardless of whether one came from humble beginnings or high-ranking officials, everyone was treated equally, and education was provided to all without discrimination.

Under his teachings, the ignorant children began to grow into talented young men. They left the school and returned to ordinary life. Some of them became knights-errant, roaming the world with their swords; some became powerful and influential, dominating their regions; and some became the richest people in the world. Of course, some were also influenced by him, followed in his footsteps, and became educators of the common people.

During this period, he was not only educating the young children, but also educating his own bloodline.

He constantly strengthened his humanity through those mundane articles, thereby resisting the risk of losing control brought about by those who cultivate demons.

Becoming a kind and good person was both his wish and a requirement of the arduous and perilous path he was on.

Only by restraining and dispelling the evil thoughts in his heart can he go further.

Gradually, the emerald green scales on Liu Ying's face began to fade away, and he regained his former refined and amiable appearance.

Within its sea of ​​consciousness, deep within the soul corrupted by the will of the ancient Teng Snake, a tenacious will began to grow stronger.

The body, which was almost transforming into the form of an ancient serpent, began to take on a human form.

"If I cannot control my own power, I would rather give up everything, including the Great Dao and my life!"

Deep within his sea of ​​consciousness, Liu Ying's soul erupted completely, charging frantically towards the ancient Teng Snake's will that was eroding his sea of ​​consciousness with an attitude of almost risking his life.

The two wills began to clash head-on, using the sea of ​​consciousness as their battlefield.

Under the onslaught of the ancient, ferocious, and tyrannical will of the Teng Snake, Liu Ying's own will continuously crumbled, only to stubbornly regroup and continue the fight.

In this process, Liu Ying repeatedly refined her Dao heart, which remained steadfast despite countless trials and tribulations.

The sea of ​​consciousness, which was almost entirely enveloped by the will of the ancient Teng Snake, was gradually dissipating.
-
Beyond the poisonous land of Tengdu.

Between heaven and earth, a pale blue world floats quietly.

A faint blue portal, appearing and disappearing in the shadows, emanated a mysterious and overwhelming aura.

The once fierce battlefield fell into an eerie silence.

The Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the Hehuan Sect and Lingbao Sect camps on the outskirts of the battlefield were all shocked.

Unexpectedly, the combined full-force attack of the two renowned late-stage Nascent Soul experts from their respective sects was still unable to defeat that mysterious powerhouse, and they were even completely suppressed.

At the same time, while everyone in the Hehuan Sect was in shock, the Cloud Fox Fairy standing at the head of the group showed a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"How can it be!"

"Why does the power that mysterious expert revealed when he made his move just now feel so familiar to me!"

Possessing a phantom spirit body, she cultivated an ancient and unique inheritance within the Hehuan Sect—the Heavenly Fox Bewitching Spirit Scripture—thus granting her a keen spiritual perception of the essence of all things in heaven and earth.

That sense of familiarity means that the other person may have had some past interactions with him.

"But in all my years of cultivation, I've never met any experts in the water element. Could this person be a hidden powerhouse on Fuling Island? No, I have almost no contact with those people."

Just as the Cloud Fox Fairy was filled with doubts.

She seemed to sense something and quickly looked up into the distance.

At this moment, she felt even more directly that the faint gaze she had just received was from that mysterious black-robed expert.

At this moment.

But then she saw the middle-aged man in black robes openly look at her, and the two gazed at each other from a distance.

"This sounds so familiar!"

Seeing that calm and indifferent gaze, the last trace of doubt in Fairy Cloud Fox's heart vanished.

She was certain that the mysterious powerful figure must have known him before.

Perhaps the other person's current expression is just a facade.

"It's not impossible. If Elder Tao Huan and that Lingbao Sect expert hadn't gone all out, the other party would probably have continued to conceal their abilities."

"Hidden methods, a calm and composed demeanor that keeps things under wraps."

For some reason, a young man in a green robe, with whom she had once collaborated, suddenly appeared in Fairy Cloud Fox's mind.

"impossible!"

"No matter how monstrous his talent, how could he possibly reach the late Nascent Soul stage?"

Reason and judgment quickly made her reject the thought that had surfaced in her mind.

Although that person was also a cunning and ruthless individual who always concealed his true abilities and acted in a low-key and profound manner, his cultivation level was still lower than hers back then. How could he be the terrifying and mysterious powerhouse before her?

the other side.

A hint of amusement flashed in Li Qing's eyes.

Unexpectedly, the Hehuan Sect is indeed remarkable, worthy of being one of the two strongest peak forces in Taiyuan.

The old friend who had once cooperated with him in the distance has now also reached the peak of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. In addition, there is the rumored Hehuan Sect Emperor - Luo Yuan, who is close to breaking through. This alone is enough to prove the foundation of the Hehuan Sect.

Back then, the three of them joined forces to ambush and kill Di Zi, another of the strongest genius disciples in the Hehuan Sect, in the Demonfall Space.

At this moment.

Another question, filled with apprehension, rang out.

"Who are you, Your Excellency?"

The black-haired elder from the Lingbao Sect had completely lost his previous arrogance, and his eyes were now filled with vigilance.

The battle just now has completely proven that even if the two of them join forces, they cannot contend with the mysterious powerhouse in front of them, let alone hold him back.

The opponent had been hiding their strength from the beginning. If it weren't for the sudden and drastic change in the Tengdu Death Ground, neither of them would have been able to see the opponent's true strength.

As for the other True Monarch Tao Huan of the Hehuan Sect, he was even more decisive, abandoning the encirclement and retreating to the side of True Monarch Kuangbao.

"Fellow Daoist, are you choosing to become enemies with our Hehuan Sect and Lingbao Sect?"

Seeing that he could not use force to suppress the other party, True Lord Tao Huan directly brought out the top forces behind both sides.

"An enemy?"

Li Qing remained standing in the same spot with a calm expression, her eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

With his current abilities, he is no longer afraid of threats from the Hehuan Sect and the Lingbao Sect.

The fact that these two people were still standing in front of him and speaking was already a sign that he was giving face to the two top powers; at least he didn't want to completely encounter the two top powers over this matter.

That's why he chose to conceal his identity and take action. On the other hand...

Peach Joy True Lord and Mad Treasure True Lord looked at each other and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

This mysterious and powerful figure is too strange; he is unyielding to both soft and hard approaches.

Even when the two invoked the sects they represented, they could not force them to back down in the slightest.

At this point, faced with the other party's continued silence, the two were no longer angry; the other party indeed had the right to remain silent.

Based on the terrifying strength displayed by the opponent, they are probably approaching the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage.

Just as the entire battlefield continued to fall into an eerie calm.

An ancient murmur broke the silence of the battlefield once again.

call!call!
Looking down.

Deep within the vast, emerald-green poisonous fog, a massive vortex seemed to have appeared.

Unimaginable power of the poisonous energy transformed into a raging torrent, frantically converging towards the vortex. A vast and boundless pressure continuously intensified from the depths of the vortex.

"That demon king has successfully advanced!"

Tao Huan Zhenjun's expression suddenly hardened.

Unexpectedly, in such a short time, the demon king who obtained the opportunity deep in the Tengdu Death Land actually successfully entered the late stage of the fourth tier.

"wrong!"

In an instant, True Monarch Tao Huan seemed to realize what was happening, and quickly looked at True Monarch Kuang Bao beside him. Both of them had a slight change in expression.

As the two top powers that control the Taiyuan Realm, they both possess profound heritage and foundation.

They were naturally very familiar with the powerful demon kings at the late fourth tier.

The power deep within the Tengdu Wasteland, seemingly a fierce aura emanating from the bloodline of the demon race, subtly reveals a sense of order.

The chaos and order emanating from the depths of that power subtly construct a new balance.

"Could it be a demon cultivator?!"

Ancient legends simultaneously surfaced in their minds.

Only the legendary lineage of demon cultivators, which is said to have long since vanished, could possess such strange power.

But before the two could speak...

Woohoo! Woohoo!
The ancient, earth-shaking roar reappeared once more.

A colossal, ancient serpentine phantom, almost blotting out the sky, emerged from the depths of the vast, emerald-green clouds.

A vast and malevolent aura swept across the heavens and earth.

The unique power and pressure belonging to the late stage of the fourth rank erupted completely.

"There are actually demon cultivators in this world!"

True Monarch Tao Huan and True Monarch Kuang Bao looked at each other in disbelief. Even though they came from top-tier forces, they felt a bit incredulous at this moment.

Not to mention the sealed lands, even in the true spirit realm of ancient times, the lineage of demon cultivators had long since withered away.

Now, the two of them have actually witnessed a legendary demon cultivator advance to the late stage of the fourth rank.

at the same time.

As the legendary phantom of the ancient Teng Snake soared into the sky, a figure slowly appeared between heaven and earth.

He was a middle-aged man dressed in a simple white robe, with a refined and approachable face.

Strangely, the middle-aged man had a pair of vertical pupils that exuded ruthlessness, indifference, and ferocity, and on his forehead were several emerald green scales that emitted an ancient and ferocious aura.

Two completely opposite temperaments blended together, creating an eerie yet incredibly harmonious effect.

this moment.

Both Peach Joy True Lord and Mad Treasure True Lord felt a tightness in their hearts at the same time.

But all they saw was the legendary ancient serpent phantom lowering its head, its ancient and vast demonic eyes fixed on the two of them.

An unprecedented sense of crisis suddenly arose in the hearts of the two.

The mysterious expert was already incredibly powerful, far surpassing the two of them. Now, with another formidable enemy, even though the opponent had just advanced to the late stage of the fourth rank, the two dared not underestimate him.

The reason why the lineage of demon cultivators declined was not because that path was weak. On the contrary, the demon cultivators were exceptionally powerful. However, that path was too dangerous and always faced the risk of going out of control, so it was gradually abandoned by the major human forces.

Not to mention, although the demon cultivator in front of us has just advanced, he possesses the bloodline of the ancient Teng Snake, which is said to represent the path of death and poison.

"What are Fellow Daoist Qing's plans to do with these two?"

Liu Ying's voice entered Li Qing's mind.

"If Fellow Daoist Qing is interested in these two, I am willing to do everything in my power to help Fellow Daoist Qing to surround and kill them!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qing couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, are you not afraid of retaliation from the two top powers for your actions?"

"revenge?"

Liu Ying chuckled: "I have now successfully broken through and can mobilize the power of the entire depths of the Tengdu Death Land. As long as I am here, unless the great cultivators behind those two sects personally take action, they will probably be unable to pose the slightest threat to me."

While the two were secretly chatting and laughing.

At the same time, the Nascent Soul True Monarchs from both sides on the outskirts of the battlefield made their moves. As if they had received some kind of order, they all rushed desperately towards the outside world.

Meanwhile, True Lord Tao Huan and True Lord Kuang Bao unknowingly withdrew from the area of ​​Teng Du's Deadly Land, fearing they might be ambushed.

"Who are you?"

Perhaps out of consideration for the sect's reputation, Mad Treasure True Monarch and his companion did not leave immediately.

"Leave!"

Seeing that Li Qing had no intention of making a move, Liu Ying also suppressed her killing intent.

Liu Ying did not answer their questions either, and directly ordered them to leave.

"Are you two not even willing to reveal your names?"

A hint of coldness appeared on Mad Treasure True Monarch's face.

Just now, the two of them had already reported the changes in this place back to the sect, and soon, support from the sect would arrive.

Even if the two opponents are incredibly powerful, with the foundation of their Lingbao Sect and Hehuan Sect, why would they fear two outsiders?

It seemed they had guessed the reason why the other party was unwilling to leave.

A hint of savagery and indifference resurfaced in the depths of Liu Ying's vertical pupils.

"This place does not belong to your two major powers, and you should not even dream of coveting this land!"

Beneath that calm voice lay an undeniable air of dominance.

As the lair of that ancient, resurrected being, how could two mere peak forces be qualified to covet Tengdu Death Land? Not to mention that being has not yet returned, even with his current strength, once he mobilizes the power contained deep within Tengdu Death Land, he would be able to face no threat from the two peak forces.

"I'll let you go today!"

After saying that, Liu Ying simply waved her hand.

Boom! ! !
An endless roar echoed from the depths of the once peaceful world, as an unimaginable surge of immense poisonous power erupted once more, sealing this mortal realm anew.
