Born with immortal seed

Chapter 371 True Demon Holy Body
The old man from the Killing Sword Sect, a Nascent Soul True Monarch, was actually pierced by an inconspicuous awl, and his many defensive magic treasures had no effect whatsoever.

Like a thin sheet of paper, it was pierced back and forth by this cone covered with swirling patterns and as solid as crystal.

His entire body was like being caught in a vortex, instantly sucked clean, leaving not even a bone fragment behind.

Kong Bai, who was standing to the side, was horrified and retreated. When he raised his sword to save him, only the old man's nascent soul was left, carrying a short sword as he flew away.

The wrinkled face of the nascent soul was filled with panic, and it flashed away from its original spot.

The crystal cone disappeared and then shot out again from the void, accurately interrupting the old man's nascent soul from its teleportation.

The crystal cone pierced through, and even the Nascent Soul had no power to resist, just like a balloon being punctured.

With a pop, a Nascent Soul cultivator perished before everyone's eyes, his soul and spirit destroyed, and even his Nascent Soul failed to escape.

"Senior Brother Xun!"

Kong Bai roared loudly, venting his anger and relieving his fear at the same time.

The old man surnamed Xun was of average strength among Nascent Soul cultivators, with no particular strengths, but he was still a Nascent Soul cultivator who had cultivated for over six hundred years.

To be slaughtered like a chicken is simply too outrageous. Could it be the work of a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage?

Kong Bai was filled with suspicion, and the thought of whether they were helpers invited by the Tianhe Sword Sect flashed through his mind. Countless sword lights burst out from the center of him.

"Ancient demonic aura!"

Ge Cang and Yan Yuanzai both changed color at the same time and each used their protective techniques. The crystal cone flashed and disappeared, but anyone who had come into contact with the ancient demon could never forget that aura.

Not far away, the Arhat holding the flower tossed out his prayer beads, which were replaced by twelve guardian deities surrounding him, with layers of profound Buddhist light.

He was led out of the Burial Immortal Valley by the Arhat with the alms bowl back then, and did not directly face the ancient demon, so his impression was not deep enough.

After being reminded by someone, I reacted very quickly.

"How did the ancient demon appear here? Has it broken free of the ancient restrictions?"

The Supreme Pure Sword Box was turned upside down, the Moon Jade hung high above his head, and the moonlight shone on the mountain where he was.

This crystal cone is clearly capable of traversing the void and attacking you from any location.

Bai Zichen didn't know if his ability to see through fire was enough to see through the crystal cone, but judging from its performance, it was much stronger than the void magic of the fire demon he encountered in the Black Mountain.

Whether it's the speed of traversing the void or the agility of controlling the crystal cone as if by invisible hands, it far surpasses that.

If the technique surpasses the fourth tier, even with Yuexuan as the eye, it will still be unable to detect it.

"It can't be an ancient demon. If it were to reappear in the world, we would all be dead by now. Why would we need such a sneak attack? The ancient demon was only suppressed to the Nascent Soul stage because of the restrictions of this world's laws. Even if it has been weakened by demon-refining over the past tens of thousands of years, and its strength is only one-tenth of what it used to be, it should at least recover to the equivalent of a perfect Nascent Soul stage after the ancient immortals' restrictions are lifted!"

The Star Jade Sword, held in Yan Yuanzai's hand, drew out a streak of starlight, revealing a sense of joy.

Unbeknownst to them, the sword light was moving closer to Yuexuan.

“My senior brother told me that someone was plotting behind the Burial Immortal Valley incident. He discovered some clues, but when he tried to continue investigating, all the leads went cold… It was definitely a True Monarch from the Northern Region who wielded immense power involved. Even the Arhat with the Bowl and the Nine Lotus True Monarch readily provided assistance.”

"Everyone, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with my master... This place is dangerous, let's leave first!"

The Arhat who held the flower felt several gazes directed at him, and calmly said with his hands clasped together.

"Someone has set up array flags on Meili Snow Mountain, which is probably equivalent to a fourth-order grand array!"

The Buddha's light was blocked by the black mist, and the Arhat who held up the flower made two consecutive attempts but failed.

He even manifested the Dharma form of holding a flower, holding a jade wheel, and conjured countless phantoms that bombarded down.

The black fog churned violently, but still failed to break through the exit passage.

The entire Meili Snow Mountain was shrouded in black mist, and a group of Nascent Soul True Monarchs were actually trapped inside.

"Good, good, good! Someone actually dares to plot against me repeatedly on Frost Kingdom's territory, and this time they've surrounded so many of my fellow cultivators. I'd like to see what kind of villain has such arrogant audacity!"

Iron Pivot of the Nine Forging Sect suddenly grew taller, and a suit of armor appeared on his body, radiating ten thousand rays of light and a thousand auspicious energies, making him impervious to all evil.

Decades ago, he was lured into a dangerous situation, ambushed by a demonic figure, and almost lost his life.

It was only by relying on this ancestral armor that they managed to fight their way out.

The True Martial Armor has eighteen parts, each of which is equivalent to a top-grade magic weapon. When combined, they form a low-grade spiritual treasure.

The demonic energy revealed by the crystal cone was very similar to the demonic shadow that attacked him last time, clearly indicating that it was the work of the same person.

However, the difference in strength was enormous. If there had been those omnipresent crystal cones that could traverse the void back then, even with the True Martial Armor, Tie Shu didn't think he could have survived.

"Xiang Ji, have you gone mad! Some demonic cultivators want to take advantage of our sword duel to reap the benefits and use all the Nascent Soul cultivators here as sacrifices!"

Tang Fei retreated in a sorry state, not expecting his spinal cord injury to have progressed to this extent.

There were demonic cultivators lurking in the shadows, who even killed one of his Nascent Soul junior brothers first, yet he simply ignored it.

The Demonic Sword in his hand continued to strike faster and more fiercely than the last, completely unaffected.

"Yes, I've already seen it! It's just demonic energy and a void escape technique... I'll deal with him after I kill you!"

Xiang Ji spoke coldly, and another massive black sword materialized, slaying everything with the force of thunder.

Tang Fei felt powerless and had to admit that Xiang Ji was far more insane than he was.

Perhaps it was this irrationality, this madness, that made Xiang Ji the first cultivator in the Killing Sword Sect in thousands of years to forge the Killing Demon Sword himself.

The old ancestor who transformed into a Nascent Soul cultivator back then also followed this path.

Unfortunately, he left quietly after reaching the Divine Transformation stage, without leaving a single word or passing down the fifth-tier Killing Demon Sword.

Behind Tang Fei, a sword mound unfolded, stretching for miles, densely packed with flying swords.

All the flying swords that the Tianhe Sword Sect has failed to forge or that have been damaged in use over the past thousand years are here.

The sharp sword energy rippled, crashing into the Xuanmo giant sword with a tragic momentum.

With another deafening roar, thousands upon thousands of broken swords in the sword tomb exploded into dust.

Fragments of the flying sword flew everywhere, the Nascent Soul Realm shook violently, and Tang Fei's face paled even more.

When all hope seemed lost, even knowing that directly using the Nascent Soul Realm to confront the true intent of slaughter was extremely dangerous and unwise, they had no choice but to do so.

If you can't stop it, you'll only die.

With the true intent of slaughter already permeating the entire area, if the physical body is destroyed, even if one wants to escape with their nascent soul, it will be difficult to do so.

While the two were still using the true meaning of the Great Dao to fight against the Nascent Soul Realm, another problem arose among the Nascent Soul True Monarchs who were watching the battle.

The crystal cone struck again from the void, piercing through the water and directly into the body of True Monarch Du Heng, causing a splash of blood to erupt.

Unlike the old man surnamed Xun, True Monarch Du Heng reacted quickly, mobilizing the entire Xuanming Heavy Water to directly suppress the elusive crystal cone.

"Fellow Tie Dao, come and lend me a hand... This demonic creature is incredibly powerful; even with the entire weight of the Xuanming Heavy Water, I can't suppress it!"

Du Heng Zhenjun's voice came through, and it was clear that he was struggling. To activate a treasure like Xuanming Heavy Water, which was so powerful and overwhelming, required an extremely high level of one's own true essence.

"Very well, I will lend Lord Du a hand!"

Recently, Tie Shu strode forward, his figure rising again, having pushed the Nine Forged Body to its limit, with layers of patterns appearing on his skin.

At the same time, the True Martial Armor gathered light, condensing into a circle, covering the palm-leaf-shaped hand before reaching for the crystal cone.

"Caught!"

With a hint of excitement in his deep voice, Tie Shu took control of the crystal cone in his hand.

But they soon realized something was wrong; the power transmitted from the crystal cone was too weak, and any Nascent Soul True Monarch could easily control it.

The Xuanming Heavy Water fell, and the rushing river directly shook his body, its weight far exceeding ten thousand jun.

"I have long suspected that you are colluding with demonic cultivators, and it has indeed come to pass! True Martial Divine Power, rise!"

Tie Shu roared, a thunderous sound rang out, and the True Martial Armor on his body burst forth with dazzling light, actually displaying the power of a mid-grade spiritual treasure.

"Based on the spiritual treasures inherited from my ancestor, I have added six more top-grade magic treasures, successfully upgrading them to mid-grade spiritual treasures. Now let's see what else you have... no, you're not in the early Nascent Soul stage!"

"I never told you that after so many years of cultivation, you should have made some progress..."

The waves of Xuanming Heavy Water dispersed, revealing an elderly man with a crown on his head and wearing magnificent clothes. He had a dignified expression and an extraordinary demeanor.

Unfortunately, the skin exposed outside the clothes—the palms, wrists, neck, and cheeks—was tinged with indigo, ruining the overall elegance.

His aura continued to rise, eventually reaching the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, firmly suppressing Tie Shu in place.

Then he grabbed the crystal cone and slowly stabbed it into his chest.

The Nine-Forged Body of the Fifth Layer and the True Martial Armor, a mid-grade defensive spiritual treasure, were both utterly vulnerable before this crystal cone.

As it pierced, the speed slowed, emitting a squeaking sound, and the crystal cone moved forward slowly and steadily within the protective aura.

Like the old man surnamed Xun, Tie Shu was drained of his flesh and bones amidst cries of pain, and his nascent soul was also annihilated by the true demonic energy, unable to put up any effective resistance.

After its master died, the True Martial Armor transformed into a streak of green light and flew outwards. Just as it was about to fly out of the black mist, a giant indigo hand reached out and grabbed it.

This mid-grade spiritual treasure struggled frantically in the giant's hand, but still could not escape and was firmly suppressed.

Beyond the black mist, a gigantic demonic shadow appeared, its entire body indigo and engulfed in demonic flames.

Just one glance at someone can have the potential to demonize them.

"Ancient Demon? No, it's the True Demon Saint Body!"

The Arhat who held up the flower was so startled that he blurted out the answer, but he quickly denied his guess.

Although the Demon Shadow is seven or eight parts similar to the ancient demon in the Burial Immortal Valley, it also only has the strength fluctuations of the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

Du Heng's figure flickered, and he emerged from the black mist, standing in front of the demonic shadow.

"Thank you all for awakening my Demon Dragon Cone into a low-grade Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure... As long as I refine all of you with my blood, I can instantly reach the late Nascent Soul stage!"

Two voices spoke simultaneously from Du Heng and the demonic figure behind him, one after the other, their emphasis heavy.
