Born with immortal seed

Chapter 632 The Half-Crippled Demon Lord, the Scattered Human Race

It looked as if a hole had been punched in the sky, and a celestial path could be seen in the distance.

The Ice Soul Fairy was clearly well-prepared, immediately embarking on the correct path after breaking through the void node.

At least some people have taken this route in the past, which is much better than recklessly forcing your way through the ascension passage.

On the battlefield, both humans and transvestites seemed to be frozen in place, standing there dumbfounded, staring at this shocking scene.

It spread rapidly from the central area to the entire battlefield.

Apart from the low-level demonic beasts that were still howling and lunging forward to tear at each other, all other sounds disappeared.

All the human cultivators were shocked but also overjoyed, both for the removal of a great enemy and for the congratulations of the Heavenly Punishment Peak Master and the continuation of the Great Dao.

"How could he suddenly ascend to immortality? Could it be a secret technique passed down from the Moral Sect?"

"Impossible! With such a secret method, how could so many generations of Holy Monarchs have lacked the courage to even attempt ascension and simply passed away in vain!"

"Is it because they fought a great battle with the Nascent Soul Demon Lord, breaking through the void, that the two of them worked together to open up a path to ascension?"

Even Nascent Soul True Monarchs can only observe the battle situation from afar and dare not use their divine sense or spiritual eyes to investigate it in depth.

Completely baffled, they could only try to deduce something from the jade slips about ascension left behind by the sect.

As a successor of the Daoist lineage, Yu Ziliang had some guesses in his mind, but he would not join in such discussions.

They were only happy for Patriarch Gong. The strange appearance and quick disappearance of the cold and beautiful female cultivator behind her went unnoticed by many.

However, Yu Ziliang's greatest role is to act as a human accessory, using the essence of the demon saint within his body to reduce the overall strength of the demon beasts in front of him.

He didn't need to rush forward to actually fight, so he noticed it immediately.

If he were truly a Nascent Soul cultivator who had mastered the Great Dao of Space, then his role in the ascension process would be comparable to that of a top-grade Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure of the Void, making even the turbulent void seem less terrifying.

No Nascent Soul cultivator could refuse such a companion.

Everyone was happy to see someone like the Heavenly Punishment Peak Master get a chance to ascend.

Otherwise, not to mention that he doesn't have much lifespan left and is unable to support his cultivation to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage before attempting another breakthrough, the loss of his vital essence caused by this heaven-defying act alone would be enough to make him enter the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man.

Unlike the Nebula Twin Saints, they didn't instantly vanish into thin air, mainly because they relied on a secret treasure that could isolate their aura and deceive everyone.

Whether or not he ultimately succeeded in ascending to the Earthly Immortal Realm, he at least took the first step.

This is a far-reaching step for all cultivators in the human realm, at least indicating that there is still hope for ascension at present.

Contrary to pessimists' belief, the passage between the two worlds has not been completely closed.

Even if one cultivates to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, it is impossible to ascend to immortality.

As for the demon race, their astonishment was even more pronounced, as they couldn't understand how Ao Laolong, who had truly become the King of All Demons, could suddenly ascend to immortality.

Instead of waiting for the Heavenly Demon Realm passage to be established, they went to the Earthly Immortal Realm together with the human cultivators.

"What a despicable Ao Qiu! I knew he was of inferior blood from the lower realm, his heart was despicable, and he harbored evil intentions!"

With two horns on his forehead and an air of noble elegance, Ying Guang flew into a rage, his eyes bloodshot, as if he wanted to devour someone.

"They must have been plotting in secret for a long time, wanting to take the Mountain and River Cauldron away. How stupid they are! Even if a demon has a treasure that opens the heavens, once they go to the Earthly Immortal Realm, they will only be captured and raised as slaves. Do they really think they can advance to the level of Demon Saint, or even glimpse the realm of Demon God in the future?!"

The True Dragon Saint Son's words clearly indicated that he regarded Ao Laolong as a traitor to the demon race, and thus intentionally chose to ascend to the Earthly Immortal Realm.

Previously, when Huang Tingfeng was fighting with the Red-Eared Ancestor, it was this creature that suddenly appeared and used a Seven-Star Soul-Locking Nail personally crafted by a demon god, which directly caused the opponent's seven souls to be lost, rendering him unable to move.

It was the Red-Eared Ancestor who seized the opportunity and killed Peak Master Huang Ting in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, even with a difference in strength between the two, they would not have been able to achieve such a swift victory against Huang Tingfeng, who was focused on concealing his true abilities and had mastered eight hundred supernatural powers on his own.

It will not come to an end without a year and a half of fierce fighting.

"Your Highness is mistaken. The woman who appeared later was of mysterious origin. She must have taken advantage of the stalemate between Brother Ao and Old Man Gong, and used a rare treasure to lock onto the auras of the three of them. Once she opened the void node and actively entered the ascension channel, the other two had no choice."

Old Ancestor Red Ear's brow twitched wildly; Ying Guang's words had insulted him thoroughly.

If it weren't for this person's status and background, I would have killed this ill-mannered junior with a single blow.

However, it also had its doubts about Ao Laolong: was he just going with the flow due to circumstances, or had he long harbored rebellious intentions?

After all, on one side is the grand scheme drawn up by the True Dragon Clan, which aims to conquer the entire territory and then drag this world into the lower realm of the Heavenly Demon Realm. It's unknown how many years it will take to complete all of this.

On the other hand, the road ahead is fraught with danger and full of unknowns.

There are naturally demons in the Earthly Immortal Realm. In such a vast world, there are countless small worlds attached to it, making it even easier for beings in these worlds to break through the void and come to the Upper Realm.

Humans are the masters of the Immortal Realm, but that doesn't mean they can control everything.

Of course, it's impossible for them to live as freely as their fellow race in the Heavenly Demon Realm. They mostly hide in dangerous places and cautiously try to survive.

There is also a high chance that they will be captured by human cultivators and made into spirit beasts.

But the most crucial point is that the Mountain and River Cauldron in Ao Laolong's hands represents infinite possibilities.

If, under the command of the True Dragon Clan, the human alliance is defeated and the great mission is accomplished, the Mountain and River Cauldron should be handed over.

The reason why the True Dragon Saint Son Ying Guang descended to the mortal realm was largely to monitor the Mountain and River Cauldron nearby, and also as a backup plan to forcibly reclaim it.

As a result, Ao Laolong ascended directly to the Immortal Realm, rendering all his backup plans futile.

Finally, the Heaven-Opening Spiritual Treasure is different from the sixth-order magic treasure.

The former was born of heaven and earth, blessed with unique advantages, but it only possessed a little bit of pure spirituality, and could not even compare to the communication ability of a fifth-order artifact spirit.

Perhaps it is precisely because this pure spirituality, born from the beginning of time, is too powerful that it cannot be personified like other magical artifacts.

The Heaven-Opening Treasure has been in Ao Laolong's hands for hundreds of years. After spending so much time together, it must have developed a tacit understanding with the Mountain and River Cauldron.

As long as one can advance to the level of Demon Saint, one can truly gain complete control of the Mountain and River Cauldron and not worry about not being able to refine it.

With Ying Guang's help, the Crimson-Eared Ancestor used all his hair clones as human shields, while his main body mingled among them, and risked getting close to a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Just like how he usually crushed a meteorite, he pressed Huang Tingfeng Master directly into his palms, kneaded him into a ball, and killed him without a complete corpse.

However, before his death, Huang Tingfeng broke free of the Seven Star Soul-Locking Nails. His near-death counterattack annihilated all his hair clones, and his fishing rod almost pierced through and impaled the Red-Eared Ancestor.

Fortunately, the life-saving talent from the bloodline of the Red-Bottomed Macaque activated, and the demon body miraculously twisted before it could even react. The fishing rod pierced through its waist and exited through its shoulder blade, avoiding a fatal blow.

We dare not pull out the fishing rod that contains the essence and spirit of Master Huang Tingfeng right now, otherwise the wound that Old Ancestor Red Ears has locked with his powerful physique will completely burst open.

The uncontrolled true meaning, running rampant, could very well lead it to the same fate as the Twin Saints of Nebula.

The Red-Eared Ancestor looked at his chest and seemed to see, through the hair and flesh, a giant immortal peach that replaced his heart.

Veins grew from the immortal peach, connecting to the limbs and bones, their powerful pulsations supporting this aged demon body.

This is the true assistance that the apes provide to it, beyond the moonlight and nectar.

Rumors circulated that the immortal peach that extended the lifespan of the Red-Eared Ancestor was not obtained from the ruins when he opened up Rotten Axe Mountain, but was a treasure bestowed by the Heavenly Demon Realm.

The method of use is not to consume the fairy fruit normally, but to implant it into the body to replace the heart.

After obtaining the immortal peach, the Red-Eared Ancestor hesitated for a long time before daring to take action.

It was only because his demonic body grew weaker day by day that he gritted his teeth and stuffed the immortal peach into his body, making it the source of his vital energy.

Unexpectedly, it was very effective, and I felt like I was back in my prime, with my lifespan increasing by at least a thousand years.

This made the Crimson-Eared Ancestor both overjoyed and uneasy.

The immortal peach has remarkable effects, but it is too eerie, and I always feel that it has endless troubles.

Without this immortal peach, he might have passed away many years ago.

Thinking about it this way, a few potential problems are nothing.

If the ape clan were to truly grant them the opportunity to use a supreme treasure of the level of a creation-level spiritual treasure, even the Crimson-Eared Ancestor would not be certain whether he could maintain his original intention and remain unmoved.

……

After their emotions subsided, the high-ranking human cultivators discovered the most awkward point.

Of the two Nascent Soul ancestors of the Moral Sect, one died and the other ascended to immortality.

On the demon race's side, although the strongest, Ao Laolong, who controlled the Mountain and River Cauldron, was pulled to ascend with the Heavenly Punishment Peak Master, there was still the heavily injured Red-Eared Ancestor.

The severely injured fifth-tier demon lord was still at the Nascent Soul stage.

At most, the efficiency of killing a Nascent Soul True Monarch has decreased from requiring only a glance to needing to move a finger.

Once it joins the battle, all the gains the human side has made will be in vain.

The group exchanged glances, already considering retreating.

Although the Red-Eared Ancestor was strong, he did not evoke the same sense of despair as the combination of Ao Laolong and the Heaven-Opening Spiritual Treasure.

As long as we preserve our strength, we can regroup in the central region.

With the Holy Lord of Propagation at the core, they were still able to withstand the full-scale attack of the demon race.

At most, they will give up some spiritual veins and shrink their territory inward.

The extreme tragedy of the complete annihilation of humanity should not occur.

But in the future, the Ancestral Continent will probably return to the state it was more than 100,000 years ago, when demons roamed freely and humans were subservient.

As for recovering the Eastern Regions, that's out of the question.

Even the other three domains outside the Central Domain are difficult to protect, and elite forces can only surround and defend the Central Domain.

However, the high-level cultivators scattered and fled. Not to mention how many could escape from the Red-Eared Ancestor, it can be asserted that the remaining million-strong army of cultivators will be basically wiped out.

Without their leader, the morale of the Nascent Soul True Monarch will plummet and their formation will be lost. There will be no other outcome but being slaughtered by the horde of demonic beasts.

The cultivators here come from major sects and top-tier cultivation families in the Central Region. If any of them are lost, the core disciples of all these forces will suffer a severe shortage.

The infamy of abandoning one's sect disciples and escaping alone is not something everyone can easily bear.

The Nascent Soul cultivators in the arena frantically transmitted their divine senses, but no one dared to take the lead.

However, several Great True Monarchs were gradually gathering together, hoping that at the critical moment, Old Ancestor Red Ears could intervene and work together to block the attack.

"Red-eared Demon Lord, why not refine all these humans with blood and close the distance with the Heavenly Demon Realm as soon as possible?"

Ying Guang's face turned ashen. As the True Dragon Saint Son, he was definitely directly responsible for the loss of the Mountain and River Cauldron.

Among the True Dragon Clan, there is not only one Holy Son.

The opportunity to break through to the Demon God Realm is basically only available once every ten thousand years. This mistake could completely plunge it into the abyss, where it would be utterly trampled underfoot by other competitors.

The only chance to turn the tide is to fulfill the instructions of the demon god of the clan as soon as possible, so that the army of the true dragon clan can descend to the realm smoothly.

Ideally, we should find the rare treasures of the Heavenly Palace mentioned by the demon god before the army arrives.

Old Ancestor Red Ears squinted and nodded wearily. With Old Dragon Ao gone, it naturally became the ruler of the demon race.

Even if Qingqiu Dead Sea Fox Bai weren't here, based on his strength and experience, he wouldn't be qualified to compete.

Originally, in order to avoid being sidelined by the outer sea demons, the Red-Eared Ancestor secretly contacted Ying Guang, hoping to establish a relationship with the True Dragon Clan.

Ying Guang was also wary of Ao Laolong, so he wouldn't refuse to win over another Nascent Soul Demon Lord.

The two hit it off immediately, which led to Ying Guang's intervention today, using a precious Seven-Star Soul-Locking Nail to help Ancestor Red Ear win.

Wow!
On one battlefield, the starry sky receded, like the tide receding, making a rushing sound.

A young man covered in blood, holding a sword in one hand and dragging a tattered sack-like corpse in the other, walked slowly step by step.

His Taoist robe was burned and torn to shreds, revealing his crystal-clear, jade-like skin.

It has five sharp claws on its chest, half of which are inserted into the chest but are held in place by a sternum; otherwise, they would have flown straight through the body and pierced the internal organs.

The body was thrown to the ground with a loud bang, raising a cloud of dust that resembled a small mountain.

With its half-dragon limbs exposed, its face revealed, its eyes wide open in anger, and its expression of shock and disbelief in death, it was none other than the Starry Sea Dragon Lord trapped in the sword formation.

"Dragon Lord is dead? Another piece of trash. What a waste of the replica magic weapon that was separated from a sixth-tier treasure. It was actually killed by a human Nascent Soul cultivator!"

Upon seeing this, Ying Guang launched into a tirade of curses, completely losing the composure and demeanor expected of a true dragon prince.

It is evident how deeply the loss of the Mountain and River Cauldron affected him.

"This person is Bai Zichen, a descendant of the Taibai Sword Sect, whose sword talent surpasses all ages and even surpasses that of the Taibai Sword Lord, the Fallen Sword Immortal."

A glint of light appeared in the eyes of the Crimson-Eared Ancestor. Bai Zichen's strength was much greater than it had estimated, as he was able to kill the Dragon Lord who possessed the illusory image of the Celestial Court.

They must have made progress in the past few years. If they had this level of skill back then, the white ape and the colorful phoenix would have had no chance of escaping back to Rotten Axe Mountain.

"A remnant of the Taibai Sword Sect? Crimson-Eared Demon Lord, capture him immediately! The Demon God will surely reward you. He is the number one enemy of the demon race!"

Ying Guang's expression changed drastically. He urged him repeatedly, and held a Seven-Star Soul-Locking Nail in his hand, holding it back but not releasing it.

……

"Why is everyone looking at me? Could it be that the Nascent Soul stage experts have already decided the victor?"

Bai Zichen threw the Dragon Lord's corpse on the ground, puzzled.

One of the Dragon King's arms had vanished, and a light shone from the very center of his forehead, which had been pierced through from front to back.

He used every trick in the book to gain the upper hand, but the Dragon King was able to keep a straight face and not show any signs of defeat.

But the fighting outside was still raging, how could Bai Zichen wait?

He thought that if he spent another ten or fifteen days grinding away in the sword formation, he could win. But when he went out, he found that the human race had been defeated and he was surrounded by the demon race.

At that time, there was no way to go up to the door, no way to go down to the ground, and not even a chance to escape.

He simply activated a complete version of the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword, forcibly creating an opportunity.
