Born with immortal seed

Chapter 576 The Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword Swinged in Succession
Wow! Wow!
The Black-Eyed Demon Squid's innate supernatural power is to spit out a mouthful of ink that has been refined for thousands of years, which it gathers daily in the crevices of the Shattered Star Abyss, absorbing the filth of the earth's lungs.

This ink is extremely poisonous; even a tiny bit of it can cause the flesh of a fourth-level body cultivator to rot.

Moreover, he was most skilled at defiling magical artifacts. He once used this technique to defile the spiritual essence of a Nascent Soul True Monarch's magical artifact, causing it to become trapped in ink and impossible to recall.

Even the most powerful treasures will be affected when they are immersed in ink.

This is a divine power that the Black-Dark Demon Squid was born with. It awakened in its bloodline after it came of age, and its power has grown stronger with the passage of time.

There's only one downside: each activation will erase the large, natural characters on the ink sac, and the texture won't reappear for hundreds of years.

But before he could spit out the ink in his stomach, he heard the sound of water rushing overhead. Looking up in confusion, he saw a long river of time crossing over, and the speed of all the sword lights in his vision slowed down.

Even one's own thoughts are no exception.

Only a wisp of sword light leaped out from the river of time, and as the Azure Dragon Havoc in the Sea Sword slashed downwards, it instantly arrived in front of him.

"what!"

The Black-Headed Squid let out a loud cry, and its waving tentacles passed through the sword light, mostly missing their mark and causing no change whatsoever.

As the gray-white sword light entered its body, the Black Night Demon Squid was struck as if by lightning. Brown spots began to appear all over its enormous demonic body, and its once elastic tentacles became loose, with waves of weakness spreading throughout its body.

"My lifespan has suddenly been shortened by a large margin!"

The abundant life force of the fourth-tier superior demon allowed the Black Night Demon Squid to avoid the common fate of the human Nascent Soul cultivators, who frequently suffered the Five Signs of Decay and the depletion of their lifespan when facing the Time-Traveling Divine Power.

Even demons would suffer greatly from having a hundred years of lifespan cut off in an instant; it would feel like having several holes in their bodies, with their essence blood flowing out incessantly.

The few flashing runes on the ink sac dimmed, and after being hit by hundreds of sword lights, its tentacles were almost all severed.

"Being able to withstand one blow from my Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword before you die, you'll have plenty to brag about even in the underworld!"

Bai Zichen tore off two sword-light stars with one hand each; they were precisely his two natal flying swords, the Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword and the Yuexuan Sword.

The squid demon was immediately engulfed in a sea of ​​sword light, screaming in agony.

As expected of a great demon with an indestructible body, if it were an opponent of equal strength, it would have died more than ten times earlier in this situation where it had no power to resist.

The demon's body was dismembered, shattered into countless pieces of flesh, which then rapidly grew and reassembled.

As they grew, the newborn Black-Dark Squid became quite different from the original, practically a monster made of scraps of flesh pieced together.

As it crawled, flesh and blood continued to fall off its body.

It wasn't until the seventeenth time that the Black-faced Squid was chopped into pieces that it finally stopped struggling.

Bai Zichen summoned a gilded ancient jade bottle, its surface covered with countless miniature floral and bird talismans.

With a wave of its hand at the mountain of minced meat, a miniature Black-Dark Demon Squid wobbled out and was uncontrollably sucked into the jade bottle.

This gilded ancient jade bottle was found in the Holy Lotus Sect's treasury. It was made into a jade bottle by a fourth-level jade master according to ancient methods, and then a fourth-level talisman master drew flower and bird talismans on it.

The process was so complex and the procedures so intricate that the Holy Lotus Sect had only made three of them in all the years since they obtained the secret method.

The biggest factor is that it is too difficult to have both a fourth-tier rune master and a fourth-tier jade master at the same time; they are rare and hard to come by.

Its function is to isolate the inside from the outside, creating an environment most suitable for the life of spirits.

Whether it's the essence of a demon or the soul of a human, neither can truly endure without a physical body to rely on.

Exposure to the outside world will only gradually weaken it, eventually causing it to lose its spirituality.

This gilded ancient jade bottle can slow down the process several times and can be reused multiple times.

Bai Zichen thought it would be useful, so he carried it with him. He never expected to use it today.

With a flick of the finger, the lightning stars and the moonlight stars have returned to the starry sky.

Using the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword as a means to break the deadlock, they breached the Black Night Demon Squid's defenses and swiftly killed a fourth-tier superior demon.

Of course, this Azure Emperor Longevity Sword is definitely an ordinary sword strike, not the complete version that requires burning one's own lifespan.

Such an enemy is not worth sacrificing his lifespan for.

"I originally intended to deal with the Dragon Lord and Old Ghost Ao, but you've come knocking on my door, so don't blame me..."

A giant hand of true essence swept across the ground like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, leaving it spotless.

Within the realm, a rain of flesh fell from the sky above the bamboo forest, with chunks of meat the size of millstones breaking many of the spirit bamboo.

Rolling around, rubbing its eyes, it crawled out of its little nest and stared in disbelief at the chunk of meat falling from the sky.

It took a while for the animal to realize that its owner was feeding it. It pounced on the animal and began to tear at a piece of flesh.

After only a couple of bites, his round, dark face flushed red, as if he had drunk too much aged wine, and his two short legs swayed unsteadily.

With a thud, it fell into the thick bamboo leaves, smacking its lips as it drifted off to sleep.

"This great demon looks terrible, it doesn't even have a single bone, what a waste of refining materials!"

In Bai Zichen's hand, there was now the ink sac of the Black Dark Squid.

Soft and sticky, full of elasticity, the few ancient characters are the most eye-catching. Even if you don't know what they mean, you can feel the lofty and ethereal essence within.

I even vaguely felt that these big characters looked familiar.

However, this is not a suitable occasion to get to the bottom of things, so we can only put it aside and study it slowly later.

This ink sac is the core of the Black-Eyed Squid. It not only contains all of its essence, but also functions as a small storage space.

All your personal belongings can be placed inside.

Unlike human cultivators, demons cannot create their own realms and possess a personal world at the fourth level.

This is a weakness of the demon race; they can only catch up after reaching the fifth rank, and they also possess a grotto-heaven.

However, lacking the stages of realm growth and the initial formation of the grotto-heaven, the maturity of a fifth-order demon lord's grotto-heaven is definitely inferior to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The five great demons in the original sword formation seemed to be struggling to keep up, as they could hardly keep up with the situation.

Killing one of them made things much easier, and the white apes that were eager to launch a counterattack were all suppressed.

"You're my next target!"

Bai Zichen avoided the weakest Devouring Serpent, and also did not choose the White Ape, whose combat power was extraordinary and seemed to never tire. Every strike of his staff carried immense divine power, sweeping away all demons and monsters.

Instead, he looked at Old Man Hu, who hadn't even revealed his true form, and who had calmly deflected the sword light with his cane and staff.

This old fox wasn't as conspicuous as the white ape, but he always gave off an air of mystery.

Moreover, among the demons, it is the oldest, so the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword can naturally exert the best effect on it.

The little white nascent soul suddenly opened its tightly closed eyes, took a step forward, and the light and time flowed around its body behind its arms, with a rich power of light and time gathering.

They converged into a river where countless figures moved about. As Xiaobai Nascent Soul stepped into it, his entire perspective was elevated infinitely.

With a casual grasp, the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword was once again condensed on the Azure Dragon Havoc in the Sea Sword, which had already been swung, and the sword was hidden once again without anyone noticing.

Without further hesitation, this Azure Emperor Longevity Sword may not be as imposing as before, but its effectiveness is undeniable.

"The Sword of Time!"

Old Hu's expression changed drastically. Coming from the Dead Sea of ​​Qingqiu, he was obviously more knowledgeable than the Black Night Demon Squid. He wouldn't be completely unaware that he had been struck by the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword.

Seeing through the mystery of the sword light at a glance, he rolled to the ground and revealed his true form.

He took out half of the yellow jade pendant and held it above his head. Countless illusions and mirages were generated. One moment, Old Man Hu transformed into a demonic wind and escaped from the sword formation. The next moment, he became a celestial fox with its head reaching the sky and nine tails about to break through the starry sky.

It is so lifelike that not a single flaw can be seen.

Unfortunately, it was not facing a Nascent Soul cultivator, but rather the most mysterious and unpredictable Time and Space Divine Power.

Any Nascent Soul cultivator would be captivated by Old Man Hu's illusion, but the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword's sword light pressed forward relentlessly, ignoring any illusions and striking Old Man Hu's true form hidden beneath layers of concealment.

The half-jade pendant blocked the gray-white sword light with a crisp sound, marking the first substantial contact between them.

But it only held for a few breaths before the yellow jade pendant shattered into fine powder and scattered, and the gray-white sword light fell again.

The snow-white eight-tailed fox shuddered, and its originally pure white fur instantly turned gray, mixed in with the gray.

A jet of blood spurted from its mouth, staining the fur on its chest red.

"What a ruthless time-manipulation technique!"

Before coming, Old Man Hu had certainly studied Bai Zichen and heard of the great name of the Time Divine Sword.

No matter how much the human race praised this person, they didn't take it to heart. He could only barely defeat Xiang Banshan, who was in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. In terms of cultivation, he had indeed created a miracle.

However, the transformation of potential takes time. With their five-demon lineup, even a Great True Monarch at the Nascent Soul stage would dare to put up a fight.

Who knew that the intelligence gathered beforehand was completely wrong as soon as they engaged in combat.

This sword formation not only separated the five demons, but also launched a continuous offensive, leaving the demons unable to defend themselves.

The mastery of the Time-Traveling Divine Power either stemmed from holding back in the past or from significant progress in recent years.

His own Hundred Illusions True Path and the True Meaning Jade Pendant left by a fox clan elder in the Dead Sea of ​​Qingqiu were actually weak and insignificant in the face of the Sword Intent of Time, with the degree of weakening being negligible.

Old Hu stuck his cane into the ground, and it turned into a peach tree that grew wildly, quickly reaching a height of several hundred feet.

While deflecting the sword light, the tree also grew numerous juicy peaches. With a sway of the trunk, dozens of peaches fell and turned into juice that flowed into the white fox's mouth, repairing its wounds.

"Damn it! Why didn't anyone tell me that this person also has a sword formation technique... I can't even see his true form, so he can't even use 30% of his illusionary abilities. It's such a huge disadvantage!"

Ignoring the peach tree above him whose branches and leaves were trembling from the sword light, Old Man Hu focused all his efforts on recovering from the loss of his lifespan.

Its entire body shrank, looking like a poor mountain fox that had been starving for ten or fifteen days.

It can only be said that the environment limited its performance; under normal circumstances, Old Hu's strength would be far greater than it is now.

The illusion has become reality; it is no longer a simple illusion. As long as you believe it to be real, the things in front of you can truly exist.

Old Man Hu once blew a breath that pulled hundreds of cultivators from an entire sect into an illusion, making them wander aimlessly around the sect's gates like zombies. But in the minds of these cultivators, it was no different from before; they continued to cultivate, break through barriers, undergo trials and competitions, and experience birth, aging, sickness, and death.

This Core Formation level sect has lived in the illusion for over a hundred years, and not a single cultivator has ever stepped outside its gates.

When later generations discovered this, all the cultivators had already died of old age in the illusion, unaware that their life trajectories had been altered until their deaths.

……

"I hate opponents like this who have so many tricks up their sleeves and are so unpredictable!"

The sudden growth of the peach tree dashed Bai Zichen's hopes of pressing his advantage, but it also revealed to him that Old Man Hu was all bark and no bite.

Within the Star River Sword Formation, its threat level is much lower than that of the white ape.

It is worth noting that the Nascent Soul Demon Lord of the Dead Sea of ​​Qingqiu may bestow a fifth-tier secret treasure upon Old Man Hu as a trump card to save his life.

The Black-Headed Squid is dead, and Old Man Hu is doing his best to defend himself and heal his injuries. Right now, he is actually facing only three great demons.

Bai Zichen stopped the Twelve Stars, and the original sky full of sword light suddenly cleared, with two stars from each star surrounding the white ape and the colorful phoenix.

The remaining eight stars bombarded the Devouring Serpent simultaneously.

The ceaseless rotation of celestial bodies is indeed the mystery of the Star River Sword Formation.

However, special times call for special measures, but that doesn't mean we should always follow Xinghe Jianjun's dogma.

The Devouring Serpent revealed a look of despair, opened its mouth to its maximum, and swallowed three stars in a row.

When it could no longer continue, the remaining stars bombarded it one after another until it was smashed into a pulp.

This Devouring Serpent didn't have an indestructible body, making it much easier to kill, which almost made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Bai Zichen paused slightly, saw a black shadow about the thickness of a little finger, and then summoned a gilded ancient jade bottle to collect the essence of the Devouring Serpent.

The twelve stars returned to their positions, and in the blink of an eye, another fourth-tier high-grade demon was slain.

In the bamboo forest of the realm, another rain of snake flesh and blood fell.

Many spirit bamboos absorbed the blood of great demons, causing changes in their roots and stems, and their bamboo bodies became covered with bloodstains, transforming them into a completely new type of spirit bamboo.

On the other side, it seemed that Old Man Hu had finished his treatment. The peach tree had completely withered, but its condition had improved a lot.

Unlike when he was first struck by the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword, he didn't look like he was on his deathbed and wouldn't live for many more years.

"If it were five Great True Monarchs instead, I might be able to handle it more easily... The Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword can't kill the demon race instantly. These demons with their long lifespans are truly enviable."

In terms of lifespan, even if human cultivators ascend to the upper realm, they are still inferior to demons of the same realm in the Heavenly Demon Realm.

Only upon reaching the legendary Fusion Realm, regardless of race or bloodline, one enjoys a lifespan of one Yuan, which is 129,600 years.

This is the ironclad law of lifespan that applies to all realms, including the real world, and no living being has ever been able to change it.

Those demon races with special bloodlines who are known for their longevity may even experience a situation where their lifespan doesn't increase much when they advance from the Void Refinement stage to the Body Integration stage.

Bai Zichen simply sat down cross-legged. The remaining three demons were all quite powerful, and without supreme divine power like the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword, they had no chance of a quick victory.

However, with the Supreme Pure Sword Box in hand, no cultivator could possibly rival him in a prolonged battle.

Regardless of whether it's due to the special nature of the cultivation technique, the longevity of true essence, or the astonishing speed of recovery.

Or perhaps their Qi Sea is miraculous, with a True Essence capacity ten or even a hundred times greater than that of cultivators of the same level, like some great demons with the bloodline of wild beasts.

Before the Supreme Pure and Subtle Sword Box, all would be defeated.

Bai Zichen did not press his advantage, but instead engaged in a protracted battle with the sword cultivator, whose fighting style was completely different from his own. The white ape and the demons were clearly pleased with this outcome.

After all, the destructive power of this mysterious sword formation and the terror of the Time Divine Power had already been proven by the lives of two dead companions, and they also hoped to drag it out in a more secure way until the sword formation disintegrated.
