Born with immortal seed

Chapter 784 Using the sword as eyes, using the sword as hands

"It is said that among the seven demon kings, Kang Jinlong's bloodline is the most supreme, but I think the Five Elements Peacock is even more superior."

After his qi and blood calmed down, Li Guizhen said, still puzzled.

The demon race has always revered bloodlines, and the Five Elements Peacock bloodline's divine abilities are so formidable that it could not possibly be an unknown being.

If Kang Jinlong could still outdo it, there would be no human beings left on this continent, and a single demon could sweep across the world.

"But the Five Elements Peacock has already taken human form. Could it have completely refined its bloodline power so quickly?"

Su Qingqing said timidly from the side.

The stronger one's bloodline, the more difficult it is to transform into human form; this is an axiom in the world of cultivation.

The reason why wild beasts have almost no chance of transforming into human form is because they do not cultivate the Great Dao; their strength comes entirely from their bloodline and physical body.

Demons with the same bloodline of immortal beasts take much longer to transform into human form, and the fourth-tier realm is simply not enough for them to fully master the power of their bloodline.

Judging from the power of the Five-Colored Divine Light, it's quite normal that someone who has reached the Demon God stage hasn't taken human form.

However, there is clearly no news about the Five Elements Peacock in this regard; it is said that it transformed into human form as soon as it entered the fourth rank.

That's right, how could someone of noble bloodline take human form so early!

Song Ding and Li Guizhen were enlightened, but after racking their brains, they still couldn't answer the question.

"In any case, the Five Elements Peacock is beyond our current capabilities. We should retreat to our base first... This matter involves Master. If we really can't resolve it, we'll have to ask the sect for help."

Li Guizhen put away the array flags, and the three of them concealed their breathing and continued on their way back to the human race's encampment.

Just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, darkness fell overhead as a colossal object obscured the camp.

"The Demon King is attacking! Activate the formation!"

Someone shouted at the top of their lungs, and beams of light gradually enveloped the encampment.

"The Five Elements Peacock! This demon king is always low-key, why would he attack us?"

The Arhat of the Nagarjuna sect, holding a wooden fish, said in surprise.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of Zuzhou who had just defeated the Flying Tiger Demon King were not too alarmed. In terms of reputation, the Five Elements Peacock was the least remarkable of all the demon kings.

"Oh no! This peacock wasn't unaware of our presence; it's been following us relentlessly, intending to capture us all!"

Song Ding's expression changed drastically. He had just entered the camp when the Five Elements Peacock arrived. What a coincidence!

"That's right, it's afraid that killing the three of us isn't enough, and that its companions have leaked the news that it's hiding its strength, so it wants to eliminate the threat completely!"

Li Guizhen looked up at the peacock in the sky, which exuded a vast and powerful demonic energy, and felt a chill run down his spine.

The Five Elements Peacock's reasoning suggests that its injuries were likely much less severe than it had imagined, which is why it dared to go straight to the point.

They hadn't revealed their true forms during their previous encounters, so they're probably only unleashing their full power now.

Behind the peacock's true form, five halos of red, yellow, blue, white, and black intertwine and rotate, exuding an aura of majesty and solemnity that commands respect from all living beings, causing people to tremble in fear.

"Quickly inform your fellow Daoists that this bloodline divine power is several times stronger than the one used against us!"

Song Ding's eyes were filled with countless dazzling, bizarre symbols, and he realized that he had been too optimistic.

Even if I had thirty chances to fight and escape unscathed, I would still find it difficult to find a flaw in the five-colored divine light wielded by the true form of the Five Elements Peacock.

The five elements are now complete, mutually generating and restraining each other, forming a world of its own.

He even suspected that the Great Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light was derived from this, as they were too similar.

Several Nascent Soul cultivators in the human settlement, having received warnings from Song Ding and his group, raised the formation level to the highest level with some skepticism.

The next moment, the five-colored divine light of red, yellow, blue, white and black descended, and the fourth-order top-grade array was defeated in front of it, and the light pillars collapsed as soon as they touched it.

Thanks to the intervention of all the Nascent Soul cultivators in the formation, the descending Five-Colored Divine Light was successfully resisted.

However, the Five Elements Peacock, which had manifested its true form, was also slow in its actions, as if the five-colored halo was supporting a world.

But each swipe caused the formation to vibrate back and forth, as if the core of the formation was about to be uprooted.

"We need to think of another way! This peacock wants to use a war of attrition to wear us down until we're exhausted, and then break through the formation in one fell swoop!"

Li Guizhen saw through the Five Elements Peacock's idea at a glance, and it really had a high chance of success.

"Including the three fellow Daoists from Qingfeng Sect, there are a total of ten Nascent Soul cultivators here... We will split into two teams and take turns attacking, using every bit of our strength to the fullest, and not wasting a single one."

The Arhat of the Nagarjuna school recited a Buddhist chant and made a wise judgment.

The ten people rushed forward, using all their abilities in a panic, exerting their full strength every time the five-colored divine light swept down.

Before long, I will be exhausted.

If the five people coordinate well, they can barely hold on, which will give the others time to meditate and recover.

This can greatly extend the duration of the formation, allowing for a contest to see who can hold out until the end.

Unfortunately, none of these people were Great True Lords; otherwise, using the formation to defend against the enemy would have been much easier.

Song Ding was assigned to the second group, his eyes fixed intently on every change in the five-colored divine light.

In the pupil, millions of symbols flash by in every instant, forming various shapes.

Unconsciously, his fingers rubbed together, creating wisps of sword light. Each of his five fingers corresponded to a different color, thus reuniting the five elemental divine swords.

……

"There is birth and death, beginning and end... After the Dao gives birth to a sword, there should be a sword that destroys the Dao, only then can my sword way be summarized."

The destructive sword light in his sea of ​​consciousness was once again completely annihilated, plunging the entire space into nothingness.

Compared to Dao Sheng Yi Jian, more and stronger flying swords are needed to increase the upper limit of the sword move's damage.

The sword that annihilates the Dao needs to be restrained, so that its destructive power is reduced to a controllable level.

Pursuing destructive power relentlessly is not difficult for Dao Mie Yi Jian, as long as the true meaning of destruction is pushed to its limit.

The galaxy is collapsing, the universe is being destroyed, and an apocalyptic storm is about to descend.

Evolving within the sea of ​​consciousness only results in the loss of a single divine thought, which can be recovered in a few days.

In reality, if it were to be activated, it would mean twelve fifth-tier flying swords replacing the Eternal Stars and simultaneously self-destructing.

The power of a fifth-tier flying sword exploding is unimaginable; it's enough to destroy the heavens and the earth.

The consequences can be seen by looking at the Western Regions today.

In ancient times, during a great war, more than one heaven-reaching spiritual treasure self-destructed in the Western Regions, shattering the earth and severing spiritual veins.

A total of twelve fifth-tier flying swords, combined with the Dao Annihilation Sword, would not be swords for killing enemies, but swords for destroying the world.

It's possible that this could drag the entire Zuzhou continent down with it. The opponent was indeed killed, but it's impossible for me to survive either.

Even if he manages to escape death by using the power of time travel, the backlash from heaven and earth could still take his life.

Furthermore, the cost of simultaneously sacrificing twelve fifth-tier flying swords is something even cultivators in the Upper Realm who have mastered the Void Refinement stage wouldn't do; it's far too extravagant.

Therefore, for the Dao Annihilation Sword to be feasible, the Destruction Sword must be weakened in the opposite way.

These days, Bai Zichen has been constantly experimenting in his sea of ​​consciousness, enjoying himself immensely, all in an effort to find the most suitable point.

"The Dao is annihilated!"

Bai Zichen gave a soft shout, and the entire stone chamber shook, shimmering in the light.

A dark and profound sword light, indescribable in words, slowly rose, exuding terrifying power as soon as it appeared.

The entire Shaohua Cave Heaven was wailing; with this sword strike, the cave heaven would surely be the first to perish.

He was already trying to reduce the force, and at the same time, he only used five flying swords to swing this sword.

Once the Dao Extinction Sword was formed, Bai Zichen snapped his fingers, turning back time by a breath.

The true meaning of time within the stone chamber followed closely, washing away the remaining destructive power completely.

"Good, it's taking shape! With a few more attempts, we'll be able to unleash the complete version of the Dao Annihilation Sword!"

Since the failure of the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword last time, Bai Zichen has been questioning the success of practicing such top-level divine abilities in the sea of ​​consciousness.

It doesn't count unless it's successfully used in the real world.

Choosing to wield the sword directly in the Time Light Stone Chamber was not reckless, but because it was the most suitable location.

With the fleeting nature of time and such profound meaning, even in the event of an accident, there are always contingency plans in place.

If left outside, the sheer destructive power it emits would turn a thousand miles around into a wasteland, bringing an end to all things.

"In a few more years, once the true meaning of time has been fully accumulated in the stone chamber, I will have another chance to enter the cycle of sixty years... Sixty years is enough time for me to fully hone the Dao Extinction Sword and, incidentally, enter the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm."

Once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, it's already extremely difficult to find pills that can further enhance your cultivation.

There are quite a few ancient pill formulas passed down, and there is even a fifth-level pill master named Lan Tianming. The key is that the various spiritual treasures recorded in the pill formulas can no longer be found.

Even if one manages to obtain just one, it's still a drop in the ocean compared to the dozens of alchemical materials one would need.

As for using other spiritual materials as substitutes, the cost of experimenting with the pill formula is too high; even a Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't afford it.

In the cultivation world, only one or two suitable spiritual materials might appear every hundred years, and they are mostly duplicates. It would probably take tens of thousands of years to revise a pill formula.

The amount of spiritual materials wasted in this process will be astronomical.

The key point is that such an investment does not necessarily guarantee a return.

It's highly likely that in the end, it will all be for naught, leaving them with nothing to show for it.

In the mortal realm, cultivating to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage is extremely difficult and fraught with danger.

Each Nascent Soul cultivator is an outstanding individual of their time, possessing top-tier talent, innate qualities, temperament, and blessings to achieve this.

However, more than 70% of them remain at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Even with the Heavenly Punishment Peak Master's extraordinary abilities, he only reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, which speaks volumes.

Before the great changes in the world, the vast majority of cultivators who went to the upper realm through the Ascension Platform were in the early or middle stages of the Nascent Soul stage.

Bai Zichen's cultivation speed is already comparable to that of a Heavenly Spiritual Root, and he has no bottlenecks or obstacles. Moreover, he is so young and has reached the Nascent Soul stage, so time is being managed very carefully.

Fortunately, the formation of the cosmic light stone chamber within the cave heaven allowed for more ample time for cultivation.

"Ok?"

Just as Bai Zichen was about to continue studying the Dao Extinction Sword, he sensed two natal flying swords from countless miles away.

The limit of divine sense is only a little over a thousand miles, and even when it is omnipresent, it is only ten thousand miles.

The divine sense clone created by the Pulling Machine Forbidden Technique can function no matter how far away it is, but it cannot sense changes on the spot.

But the natal flying sword is different; when combined with the divine sense separated from the binding technique, it can solve this problem.

This is also the profound secret gleaned from the interaction with the gods and spirits through the diagrams of their positions and responsibilities.

Bai Zichen drew upon the aura of the sacred beast to gather in his eyes, his Candle Dragon Yin-Yang Pupils wide open, but he seemed to have lost his soul, frozen in place like a statue.

Only those eyes, with their ever-present divine light, gazed into the distance, seemingly seeing countless scenes from thousands of miles away.

……

"What's going on? Has the vortex changed and sent us to the wrong place?"

Upon arriving in Xuanzhou, a violent roar erupted, the great formation overhead collapsed, and fireballs, broken pillars, and tattered flags rained down upon them.

Ao Quan stretched out a dragon arm and pushed aside the two cultivators who had fallen in front of him: "Didn't you say that the pioneering work was going smoothly and that you had already established a firm foothold?"

"It seems we've arrived at just the right time; we can be of use right away!"

The red-bearded man, with his sharp eyes, pointed and shouted.

"Those are the human cultivators over there. Li Guizhen and the others are probably inside!"

"What an amazing peacock! But have any powerful peacock-like celestial beasts or demon gods ever appeared in the human realm?"

Ao Quan gazed enviously at the Five Elements Peacock above her head, unleashing its divine power to suppress several human Nascent Soul cultivators single-handedly.

Even a fourth-tier top-grade formation couldn't stop its advance.

Only when a demon reaches this level can one be said to have lived a life worthy of being a demon.

However, the powerful demon bloodlines in the human realm either come from celestial beasts in the Earthly Immortal Realm or descended demon gods in the Heavenly Demon Realm; they could not possibly appear out of thin air.

The Five Elements Peacock's performance was so exaggerated that even the Dragon Lord, who wielded a replica of a sixth-tier magic weapon, couldn't match it.

Such a powerful bloodline could never remain unknown.

"Never mind all that, saving them is the priority... If even one person dies or is injured, we'll never be able to recover when we get back!"

With a roar, the Red-Bearded Man pulled out a fishing rod and swung it forcefully, catching the Five-Colored Divine Light.

Both being at the peak of the fourth tier, the huge gap between the two demons was immediately apparent upon exchanging blows.

With a gentle tremor of the five-colored divine light, the fishing line snapped taut, nearly pulling the red-bearded man away.

This is the Five Elements Peacock, which has been fighting for a long time and is far from its peak condition.

Ao Quan rolled into the air, revealing his true form, which was no smaller than the Five Elements Peacock's true form.

The four dragon claws extended directly, attacking the unfolded sparrow feathers with a two-pronged approach.

"Where did this traitorous demon come from, helping humans like this?!"

The Five Elements Peacock opened its mouth and spoke, its voice as melodious as a mountain spring, yet cold and filled with murderous intent.

With two more demon king-level allies suddenly appearing on the human side, the Five Elements Peacock remained completely calm. A demon core flew out of its belly, spinning around and emitting pure light.

In an instant, at an impossible speed, he once again wielded the Five-Colored Divine Light.

With a whoosh, Ao Quan was swept away by the five-colored divine light and trapped inside, unable to escape.

Despite being at the same level, it was terrifying that it couldn't even last a single round against the Five Elements Peacock when it went all out.

But just before Ao Quan was swept into the five-colored divine light, a sword light leaped out from its body under the control of its divine sense, and the same thing happened to the Red-Bearded Lord.

Fifth-tier sword spirits are no different from humans, possessing complete intelligence and thought.

Using the Demon-Slaying Sword and the Demon-Suppressing Sword as mediums, and two strands of divine thought as the source of power, a cultivator's phantom slowly condensed and descended upon this place.

"Master!"

Lying in a pool of blood, Song Ding weakly cried out. He had watched from the sidelines and personally fought against the Five-Colored Divine Light dozens of times. It seemed that the Guicang Sacred Body had encountered the greatest problem in its history and had failed to break through it.

However, when Zhen Po faced the Five Elements Peacock, he did not retreat an inch and blocked a complete five-colored divine light.

The price paid was severe injury that rendered him unable to move.

However, it has been proven that the Guicang Sacred Body is not useless; it's just that the Five Elements Divine Light is far too powerful.
