I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

The two chased and fled.

Two or three quarters of an hour later, Wei Tu was almost at the exit of the blood pool.

At this moment, the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor finally resorted to ruthless measures. With a cold snort, he flipped his hand and summoned a blood-green alms bowl, which he then directly enveloped Wei Tu in the distance.

The blood-green alms bowl was extremely fast. As it rapidly approached Wei Tu, countless black runes condensed from demonic energy surged out from it, transforming into an enormous, tens-of-zhang-long demonic hand that grabbed down at Wei Tu.

Even more terrifying was that within the nearly one hundred feet of the area shrouded in the blood-green alms bowl's demonic light, the blood pool water around Wei Tu became exceptionally heavy, each drop carrying immense weight, making his progress difficult.

It should be noted that, as a 'Body Refining Demon Lord,' Wei Tu's pure physical power is comparable to that of a Mahayana Immortal and an Ancient Demon Ancestor!

This shows how ruthless Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor was in his attack this time.

When they make a move, it's a deadly strike.

However, despite the troublesome situation, Wei Tu showed no fear. He snorted and his body burst forth with terrifying blood light. In the blink of an eye, it grew from the size of an ordinary person and forcefully pushed aside the heavy pool of blood water around it.

Immediately afterwards, he transformed into a giant, and with a cold expression, raised his right arm to meet the 'magical giant hand' that reached out from the blood-green bowl.

A loud 'boom' was heard.

Wei Tu, whose hands collided, groaned and quickly succumbed. His right arm was broken inch by inch by the terrifying force of the 'magical giant hand'. The flesh and blood, squeezed into a pulp, corroded away and turned to ash the moment it came into contact with the surrounding blood pool.

However, taking advantage of this brief moment, Wei Tu narrowed his eyes, flicked his left sleeve, and summoned several seventh-order talismans hidden within.

The next moment, countless sharp sword energies, shimmering with silver light, shot out from his sleeves like endless swimming fish, rushing towards the 'magical giant hand' above his head.

The two collide.

Instantly, the 'magic giant hand' paused slightly, and the bottom few fingers were cleanly severed by the wildly dancing silver snake sword energy!
The demonic light it carried dimmed considerably at that moment.

"This is... the secret sword talisman of the human race in the Spirit Realm?" Upon seeing this, the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor in the distance, namely the 'female phantom', had a hint of surprise flash across her fair face.

He is a demon ancestor who has existed for an extremely long time. He knows the glorious past of the human race in the spirit realm and is also familiar with the top-notch sword talisman inheritance that the human race in the spirit realm possesses.

"That's right! This child is a human, and he possesses Mahayana magic power... It's nothing special that he carries some 'Secret Sword Talisman' talismans." Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor sneered inwardly, and continued to cast a few spells into the blood-green alms bowl in the distance with his slender finger.

In an instant, countless black runes surged out of the mouth of the blood-green alms bowl once again and poured into the 'magical giant hand'.

In the blink of an eye, these black runes not only repaired the damaged parts of the 'magical giant hand', but also suddenly increased the power of the 'magical giant hand' by several levels, with clusters of blood-red flames, like the blazing sun, igniting on its surface.

But also at this moment.

Wei Tu narrowed his eyes and flipped his hands, directly summoning two dozen seventh-order 'secret sword talismans' that were exactly the same as the terrifying sword energy he had just released.

Under his divine control, instantly, layers of 'sword energy domains' formed by silver sword energy appeared around him, and their momentum was no less, once again meeting the 'magical giant hand'.

Seeing this, even the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor in the distance seemed unable to resist, his eyelids twitching a few times.

There's no other reason than that Wei Tu's wealth is so great that he doesn't seem like a 'Nascent Soul cultivator'!

Logically speaking, even if a senior Mahayana cultivator valued him and bestowed upon him protective items, it would be impossible for him to be given so many seventh-tier 'Secret Sword Talismans'...

However, what he didn't know was that long before he met Wei Tu, he had dealt with a 'remnant soul of a demon ancestor' and obtained all of the demon's possessions.

In terms of foundation, even if he is not as good as a normal Demon Ancestor, he is by no means comparable to an ordinary Integration Stage cultivator.

"Fortunately, they are just troublesome and numerous... Once these secret sword talismans and Mahayana magic power are exhausted, this cultivator will be like a turtle in a jar..." Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor's eyes flashed with cold light as he glanced at the 'magical giant hand' that was clashing with the sword energy of these 'secret sword talismans' but had not lost ground, and thought to himself.

However, just as this thought arose in his mind...

The next moment, Wei Tu, who was trapped in the 'domain' placed by the blood-green bowl, suddenly moved like a ghost and easily broke free from the heavy blood pool. He then rushed towards Wei Tu's location at an extremely fast speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

"This... how is this possible?" Instantly, upon sensing this scene, the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor was greatly shocked, and his clear eyes, like pools of water, revealed an expression of disbelief.

But soon, the demon seemed to realize something, and its expression changed slightly as it looked at the dense, blood-red mist surrounding Wei Tu's body.

"You controlled that insect king? Impossible! The poison of the Undying God Butterfly is so potent that even my soul power cannot withstand it..." Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor muttered to himself, as if questioning Wei Tu.

However, although he seemed to have said this in a 'daze', Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor's actions were not slow at all.

With a light tap of her lotus feet, she swiftly escaped the spot at a speed several times faster than Wei Tu.

only--

Also at this moment.

Suddenly, an extremely dazzling five-colored spiritual light burst forth from the spot where Wei Tu had just been standing.

In an instant, it was as if the great power of time had descended.

At the very moment when this 'five-colored spiritual light' flashed, it began to corrode and decay completely at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Soon, the blood pool water nearby was evaporated by this great power, forming a near-vacuum isolation zone.

The Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor, who had been quite close to Wei Tu and was controlling the blood-green alms bowl with his divine sense, was also enveloped by this 'five-colored spiritual light' in this short, unpredictable moment.

But this was far from over. In the instant that the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor's movements slowed down slightly due to the 'five-colored spiritual light,' a red-feathered ghost insect the size of an infant's fist suddenly flew out from Wei Tu's sleeve and viciously pounced on the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor.

At the same moment, a large black net radiating billowing demonic energy descended from the sky and landed on the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor.

After these three 'methods' were used one by one...

A hint of fear finally flashed across the face of the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor.

Putting aside the strange and inexplicable 'five-colored spiritual light' and the seemingly ordinary but powerful [Ten Thousand Forbidden Demonic Curse] that Wei Tu threw out... just this one red-feathered ghost insect king is enough to give him a headache.

The insect's venom is most effective at suppressing his 'soul'.

Therefore, in the tens of thousands of years since this insect king was born, he has never been able to successfully control or refine this insect.

Unfortunately, the thought in his mind at this moment could not match the astonishing speed of Wei Tu's three methods!
Moreover, they used magic to resist it.

After all, under his deliberate control, the blood pool was only a few dozen feet in size.

Under normal circumstances, this area would be an excellent advantage for him, but now, it will undoubtedly make him reap the bitter fruit of his actions.

"The scheme... has succeeded." Upon seeing this, Wei Tu's tense expression immediately softened into a smile.

However, just as he was preparing to finish the battle, he saw that the 'female phantom' transformed from the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor had its soul dissipate before him.

“It’s because it doesn’t want me to search its soul…” Wei Tu was secretly surprised and shocked by the demon’s decisiveness.

However, before he could think about it further...

Immediately afterwards, an astonishing roar erupted from the bottom of the blood pool, its aura identical to that of the 'female phantom' before him.

However, it contained some of the aura of the Demon Lord Lianwu.

However, Wei Tu seemed to have anticipated this. After frowning slightly, he quickly grabbed the small storage ring left behind when the 'female phantom' disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, he moved with incredible speed, sweeping his sleeves around the 'blood-green alms bowl' that had lost the control of the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor's divine soul, and with a flash of light, he fled towards the 'Gate of Void' not far from him.

Before long, under the residual power of the Longevity Immortal Lamp, the several Mahayana spiritual restrictions that were blocking the 'Gate of Void', which were almost decayed, vanished like snow melting in spring.

"As expected! This Void Gate can connect to the outside of the 'Burial Immortal Temple'..."

Wei Tu, who had entered the Void Gate, looked at the 'spatial passage' connecting to the outside world and a look of surprise flashed across his face.

Unlike ordinary teleportation arrays in the cultivation world.

The scene at the Void Gate is remarkably similar to the 'space tunnel' temporarily constructed by the [Boundary Stone] during teleportation.

It exists in the void, within a luminous passageway constructed of silver-white runes, embedded with tiny spatial portals leading to other realms...

The spatial portal closest to the 'Gate of Void' is the 'Rebirth Realm' closest to the Blood Pool.

It resembles an inner space, allowing one to observe everything happening outside the hall from within.

Outside the Burial Hall, the dense swarms of red-feathered ghost insects seemed almost within reach.

This also explains why, from the very beginning, the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor's divine soul within the Blood Pool could control the swarm of Crimson Feather Ghost Insects outside the palace, creating the 'Rebirth Realm Illusion,' and precisely finding the one among these Crimson Feather Ghost Insects... that was related to Wei Tu and was refined from Su Bing'er's remnant spirit.

"At the bottom of the blood pool, Lady Wanmiao and the Illusionary Arm Demon Lord are fighting. In a short time... even if the other soul of the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor possesses the Heart-Piercing Centipede Demon Lord, it will be difficult for him to reach this Void Gate immediately..."

"And this is only on the premise that Lady Wanmiao knew about this 'unexpected factor' and was willing to make peace with this demon."

Wei Tu estimated the distance between the two places and pondered to himself.

However, thinking of this, he dared not hesitate for a moment and quickly took out the Crimson Feather Ghost Insect King, letting the insect sense the location of the Crimson Feather Ghost Insect transformed from the remnant spirit of Su Bing'er.

However, after a moment of perception.

Wei Tu seemed to have expected this, and sighed with a grim expression.

As expected, there was no trace of Su Bing'er's remnant spirit among the swarm of red-feathered ghost insects outside the hall.

The Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor valued him even more than he had imagined.

Not only did he intend to deal with him personally, but he had also taken away the red-feathered ghost insect that was the remnant spirit of Su Bing'er long before that...

"No! That's not right. If I were this demon, I would definitely use this remnant spirit as a threat and carry it with me..." In an instant, Wei Tu thought of this.

Thinking of this, his eyes immediately flashed with a sharp light, and he urged the Crimson Feather Ghost Insect King to use the 'red illusionary mist' spewed out by the insect, which was the 'butterfly poison' of the 'Undying Divine Butterfly' mentioned by the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor, to remove the soul imprint left on the storage ring by the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor's soul.

soon.

Accompanied by a soft 'crack' sound as the soul imprint shattered.

The inner space of the storage ring then opened.

Wei Tu also thoroughly examined all of the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor's treasures and possessions within.

As he suspected, the storage ring indeed contained the red-feathered ghost insect that was the remnant spirit of Su Bing'er...

This insect was specially placed inside a pill bottle by the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor, and the spiritual restriction on it had only recently been completed.

However, what truly surprised Wei Tu was that inside the storage ring, he saw what appeared to be the 'Nine Aperture Immortal Embryo' coveted by Madam Wanmiao.

This object, only the size of a palm, resembled neither a fruit nor an infant, and was sealed by the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor within a pale golden jade box.

"This should be it. This is the 'Nine-Aperture Immortal Embryo' that Lady Wanmiao has been pursuing..."

"Indeed, Lady Wanmiao is no ordinary person. This woman comes from the Qihuo Divine Clan, and her understanding of the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor far surpasses that of ordinary people... Given that this woman is prepared, how could this demon not be extremely cautious towards her..."

"So, it's true that this demon was chasing me, but this process was also an opportunity for him to escape and flee."

Wei Tu had a sudden thought and instantly understood the matter.

Simply put, compared to the unfathomable Lady Wanmiao, any cultivator who saw him would find him, a human cultivator of ordinary birth and average cultivation level, easy to deal with...

This is just common sense acting up!

Without the help of his golden and purple destiny, even if he could be fearless of the immortal butterfly's 'butterfly poison' and enslave the red-feathered ghost insect king, he would still find it difficult to defeat the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor in this battle!

That single Soul Treasure, the 'Blood Green Bowl,' is not something he can easily deal with!

Of course, if he hadn't guessed that the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor's strength was limited and that he could only use soul power techniques... he wouldn't have rashly confronted this demon. He would have opened the Void Gate and fled long ago before reaching the bottom of the Blood Pool.

Therefore, let's think from the perspective of the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor.

Since she did not believe that she would be defeated by him, compared to the 'danger' of facing Lady Wanmiao in the Blood Pool Cave, it was undoubtedly safer and more secure to carry the 'Nine Aperture Immortal Embryo' with her on this Demon Ancestor's divided soul.

Even if... the controlled Illusionary Arm Demon Lord and his companions are no match for Lady Myriad Wonders, she can still use this opportunity to escape, and won't be completely without any room for retreat. (End of Chapter)
