Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Central region of Cangzhou.

Today's Cangzhou is no longer just the immortal paradise it once was. Apart from some places that still retain the aura of immortals, it is now filled with soaring demonic and malevolent energy, with great demons hovering in the clouds and spirits among the mountains and rivers.

Birds and beasts, fish, shrimp, turtles, and all kinds of aquatic creatures roam freely in the Central Region of Cangzhou, revealing their true forms without anyone stopping them. As a result, Cangzhou now looks more like a land of demons, where demons run rampant and there are no taboos.

In this place where demons roamed and the air was thick with the stench of blood, a streak of azure light suddenly streaked across the sky, blatantly displaying the pure and profound spirit of Taoism. It moved righteously from west to east, advancing straight in without any restraint.

Such commotion naturally attracted the attention of the great demon of the Azure Wave Pool who patrolled the heavens and earth.

The aquatic demon king Feichong, who was at the Refinement Realm, looked at the bright and dazzling Xuanmen aura rushing towards him, let out a long roar, and raised his copper hammer to meet it.

"Where did this Taoist priest come from, daring to cause trouble in my Bibo Pool territory?!"

As the Flying Beetle Demon Lord unleashed his Void Refinement Realm demonic energy, his six arms wielded six copper hammers engraved with water-marking magic restrictions, striking out thousands of overlapping waves in the air, instantly creating hundreds of monstrous waves between heaven and earth.

The waves surged layer upon layer, their power growing ever more terrifying, finally unleashing a fierce storm and thunder, transforming into a colossal wave that seemed poised to engulf the heavens and earth.

The Flying Beetle Demon Lord nodded with great satisfaction as he looked at the monstrous waves he had created. However, in the next instant, a majestic sword beam shot into the sky, its sharp and menacing light piercing through the overlapping waves, scattering the water and light, and transforming into a streak of azure rainbow that sped through the void.

The Flying Beetle Demon Lord felt a dazzling sword light carrying the intent of calamity rushing towards him. Before he could even cry for help, the sword light had already pierced through his body. In an instant, the Flying Beetle Demon Lord was torn to pieces in mid-air, and his essence blood scattered among the mortals to nourish the land of Cangzhou.

As the sword light flashed, three breaths later a figure arrived at the spot where the Flying Beetle Demon Lord had perished, stopping without pausing, leaving behind only a calm and cold voice: "Nonsense!"

A quarter of an hour later, the true form of the combined demon tiger-dragon was revealed in the mountains and forests. The combined demon tiger-dragon, who was scratching itself on the rocks, suddenly stood up and looked over. It saw a streak of azure light brazenly rushing towards it, revealing the aura of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist without any concealment.

This enraged the Tiger-Dragon Demon Lord, who laughed in a fit of rage: "Good! Good! Good!"

"The Eastern Heavenly Daoists are truly audacious! They dare to trespass into my Bibo Pool territory all by themselves. They are truly courting death!"

"What is that Fei Chong doing, letting this Taoist priest barge in? He's a complete waste!"

As he spoke, the Tiger-Dragon Demon Lord soared into the sky, revealing his ferocious true form, spanning over 200,000 miles, between heaven and earth. The roar of the tiger and the cry of the dragon stirred up clouds and lightning across tens of thousands of miles.

The enormous demon with a tiger's head, a dragon's tail, and a fish's body, and two dragon claws, let out a deafening roar at the approaching blue light. Lightning burst forth from its mouth, and the dazzling thunderbolts gathered like pillars, shooting out and instantly piercing through eight million miles of heaven and earth, evaporating tens of millions of miles of clouds.

As lightning surged, the world was filled with dazzling thunder and lightning. Amidst the chaotic dance of lightning, a voice rang out: "Slay the Immortal, go!"

In an instant, the Tiger-Dragon Demon Lord felt a monstrous and ferocious sword aura accompanied by thunder roaring into the sky. The sword aura that burst forth in an instant made even the Tiger-Dragon Demon Lord, who was at the Integration Realm, feel a chill run down his spine.

"Oh no, this is tough!"

Realizing something was wrong, the Tiger-Dragon Demon Lord sent a message to his rear while simultaneously raising his natal magic weapon, the Wave-Splitting Trident, in an attempt to block the extremely fierce sword light.

Purple lightning streaked across the heavens and earth, piercing the universe. Accompanied by booming thunder and lightning, the purple magic sword, like a thunderclap, galloped through the nine heavens, stirring up the aura of calamity for tens of thousands of miles, carrying the power of the final calamity of thunder, and suddenly shattered the illusion and reality to arrive.

The Tiger-Dragon Demon Lord felt a blinding sharp light blast open the entire universe, shattering and collapsing space for millions of miles, triggering boundless thunder and lightning, which transformed into a sharp sword light that could destroy all laws and cut through anything.

Sensing the sword light that was enough to shatter his soul, the Tiger-Dragon Demon Lord also unleashed his ferocity in this place of life and death. He roared and wielded his three-pronged fork to summon eight turbid waves that stirred the heavens and earth, trying to determine who was superior to this sword light in a life-or-death struggle.

"Eight parts turbid waves dance!"

The Tiger-Dragon Demon Lord roared, stirring up eight turbid waves filled with demonic and malevolent energy that churned the heavens. The eight turbid waves coiled and swirled like dragons and snakes, finally condensing into a single mass, transforming into the ferocious shape of a tiger-dragon that devoured the void of heaven and earth.

However, the instant the water waves solidified into the shape of a tiger-dragon, accompanied by a deafening roar of thunder, a surge of surging purple lightning swept in, instantly piercing through the million-mile-long tiger-dragon water waves. The raging lightning evaporated all the turbid water vapor in the sky, and at the core of the purple lightning, the indigo-purple Immortal-Slaying Sword plunged straight in and struck the tiger-dragon demon lord. In one breath, the three-pronged light of the splitting wave dimmed and shattered; in two breaths, the tiger-dragon demon lord's head exploded, and his soul was scattered.

From then on, the Tiger-Dragon Demon Lord, who exuded boundless ferocity and malevolence, returned to the Investiture of the Gods, and his physical body fell into the land of Cangzhou.

In the vast sea of ​​stars, yet another malevolent star collapses and falls from the sky.

The Immortal Slayer Sword flew through the air, dispersing the demonic aura that filled the sky. Its dazzling sword light shook the heavens and earth, intimidating all evil.

As the azure rainbow drew closer, a hand reached out and grasped the Immortal Slaughtering Sword: "Don't be playful anymore, there's a place ahead for you to show your might."

In the next instant, the Immortal Slayer Sword and the Azure Rainbow both vanished, leaving only a wisp of spiritual energy that lingered in front of the void rift.

Meanwhile, at the Bibo Pool encampment, the great demons of Bibo Pool had already been alerted.

Inside the main hall nestled among the mountains, waters, and pools, various aquatic demons stood, their demonic aura soaring to the heavens. Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, they materialized into terrifying and grotesque demonic forms: some with a single horn, covered in dragon scales and possessing iron tails; some with sharp teeth and large, thick-skinned creatures like Kun fish; some with eight claws and sharp teeth, their hard shells resembling horns and swords; and some with two pincers and many legs, their bone armor layered like a tortoise.
As Ao Yulong listened to the demons discussing the menacing villains, he frowned slightly: "I just sent Winged Tiger and Du Qiu to investigate the situation, and the Taoists from the Eastern Heaven have arrived so quickly."

It was hard for Ao Yu not to connect the two events. After thinking it over, Ao Yu said, "That vicious man from the Eastern Heavenly Daoist clan traveled thirty million miles and killed four of my Bibo Pool Demon Lords. What are your opinions?"

A loud laugh rang out, and the crocodile demon king with a single horn, iron tail, and dragon blood stepped forward: "Your Highness, rest assured, that Taoist priest is overestimating himself. Daring to come alone is simply courting death!"

"Let me deal with him. I'll be back in no time with that Taoist's head!"

With that, the Flood Dragon Crocodile Demon Lord soared into the air and headed straight for the west.

Watching the departing figure of the Flood Dragon Crocodile Demon Lord, the group of great demons began to discuss among themselves:

"The crocodile possesses dragon blood and its scales are impervious to swords and spears. In addition, the crocodile is extremely strong and rampages across the waters. It should be safe for him to go this time."

"Yes, his true form is a water-stirring crocodile, which is best at stirring up storms and can also summon heavenly thunder and control poisonous water. He himself has the cultivation of the third tribulation, so it will be easy for him to capture you when he makes a move."

"But speaking of which, the Tiger-Dragon is also a naturally born beast, half tiger and half dragon, combining the fierce and kingly aura of both, and also benefiting from favorable feng shui, so how could it have lost?"

"Who knows? I heard that when Tiger Flood Dragon encountered that Taoist priest, he was killed in less than three breaths. What a disgrace!"

Listening to the demons' discussion, Ao Yu felt uncertain. After thinking for a moment, he looked at another great demon and said, "Sword Horn Demon Lord, I would like to trouble you to go as well. I have a feeling that the Flood Crocodile might run into trouble."

The sword-horned demon lord, with its horned shell resembling a sword and eight claw-like tentacles, laughed and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, I'll go take a look over here."

With that, the Sword-Horned Demon Lord also soared into the air and flew away.

Seeing that the Sword-Horned Demon Lord had also set out, the demons immediately felt relieved.
"The horn shell of the Sword Horned Demon Lord is comparable to Gengjin meteorite iron, which can withstand the power of wind, thunder, water and fire, and can also stand firm as a mountain to defend against thousands of magic treasures. In addition, the Sword Horned Demon Lord has the cultivation of the fourth tribulation. Unless the Eastern Heaven Daoist sends a fifth tribulation true lord, this trip will definitely be a triumphant return."

Unexpectedly, just as the demons were peacefully awaiting the victorious return of the Sword Horned Demon Lord, a surprised exclamation suddenly rang out:

"Jiao Crocodile, how did Jiao Crocodile's life tablet break?!"

All the demons looked over and saw that the life tablet representing the life of the Flood Dragon Crocodile Demon Lord in the main hall had lost its former radiance. A straight crack ran through the top and bottom of the life tablet, as if it had been cut open by a sword.

Staring at the cracked life tablet, the demons exchanged bewildered glances, speechless for a moment. (End of Chapter)
