Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Central region of Cangzhou.

West of the Myriad Manifestations Immortal Palace lies the Bibo Pool settlement in the Great Wilderness Realm.

When the news that the attackers were from Penglai Lingyuan and that the Jiao Crocodile Demon Lord had already perished was brought by the Sword Horn Demon Lord, all the great demons in the hall looked at each other in bewilderment.

A person's reputation precedes them, and the Penglai Spirit Abyss is not something to be trifled with. Whether the past events were true or false, or whether the Eastern Heaven Daoists could boast about them, is another matter, but what they are seeing now is the truth.

One cultivator at the first level of cultivation had slain the flying beetle and the tiger-dragon, while the crocodile, a demon lord at the third level, was killed. Moreover, the urgent message from the sword-horned demon lord clearly indicated that he was struggling to keep up.

Faced with such a ruthless individual capable of fighting and killing enemies beyond their level, and recalling his past exploits that have been passed down through countless realms, who would dare to underestimate him?!

Moreover, did this pure Yang Daoist from the Eastern Heaven Daoist School really come all alone?
For a moment, the great demons looked at each other, and the atmosphere became somewhat heavy.

The Thousand-Bearded Demon Lord pondered for a moment and looked at Ao Yu: "Your Highness, five Heavenly Demons have perished in our Azure Wave Pool in a single day. Shouldn't we report this to the King beforehand?"

Ao Yu glanced at the Thousand-Bearded Demon Lord. Ao Yu was very familiar with the Thousand-Bearded Demon Lord. He was a different kind of silver raccoon, the Thousand-Bearded Shark, who had attained enlightenment. He had fled to the Azure Wave Pool in his childhood to avoid his enemies in the Northern Sea. He was a loyal subordinate of her father, the Azure Wave Dragon King, and was now at the fourth level of cultivation.

The man who spoke up spoke with the maturity of an old man.

Upon hearing this, Blood Jade Demon Lord and Seven Rainbow Demon Lord nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, our Azure Wave Pool is on the front line directly facing the Eastern Heaven Daoist. In such a situation, the Flood Dragon Sea and the Myriad Beasts Forest should lend a helping hand."

Ao Yu then looked at the two inseparable sworn brothers, Blood Jade Demon Lord and Seven Rainbow Demon Lord, who were Heavenly Poison Blood Jade Toad and Profound Water Seven Rainbow Serpent who had attained enlightenment. Ao Yu was not familiar with these two, only knowing that they were invited to Bibo Pool by his good younger brother, Nine-Headed Insect. Both brothers were at the first tribulation level of cultivation.

It seems that the two brothers are still thinking about preserving their strength.

As Blood Jade Demon Lord and Seven Rainbow Demon Lord requested reinforcements, Frostfin Demon Lord added, "That Penglai Spirit Abyss is a pure Yang talent valued by the Eastern Heaven Daoist School. He has already reached the Integration Realm in just 1,800 years. Would they really allow such a Daoist prodigy to wreak havoc on my Bibo Pool base alone?"

"Gentlemen, does the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School have some kind of ambush or hidden plan?"

Upon hearing this, the demon lord Chiwen nodded: "That's possible. These Taoists and monks are the most cunning and treacherous."

Ao Yu turned her head and looked at Frostfin Demon Lord and Chiwen Demon Lord. She was very familiar with these two. Frostfin Demon Lord was a Frostfin Reverse Halberd Shark who had attained enlightenment, and was a naturally different species. Chiwen Demon Lord was from the same family as her, a true family member. Both of them had the cultivation of the Second Tribulation, and their words were impartial and trustworthy.

As these powerful demons spoke, the Rotten Water Demon Lord, Whirlpool Demon Lord, Snail Tuo Demon Lord, Enchanting Water Demon Lord, and other powerful demons also began to discuss among themselves.

Ao Yu remained calm, watching the powerful demons argue endlessly; she was already used to it.

The Rotten Water Demon Lord was an elder of the Azure Wave Pool who attained enlightenment through the Rotten Tide Vine-Armor Crab. The Whirlpool Demon Lord was an elder of the Azure Wave Pool who attained enlightenment through the Soul-Devouring Curved Teeth Fish. Like the Rotten Water Demon Lord, he was also an elder of the Azure Wave Pool, possessing the cultivation of the Third Tribulation, and was a reliable fighting force of the Azure Wave Pool.

The Snail Demon Lord and the Enchanting Water Demon Lord came to the Great Wilderness Realm from other Middle Thousand Worlds by crossing the void and sought refuge in the Azure Wave Pool. They were respectively the Netherwater Bone Snail and the Azure Water Enchantress who attained the Dao, but they were only at the second level of cultivation and could not be considered reliable.

As for the remaining White Moon Demon Lord, Nether Scale Demon Lord, Ten Thousand Umbrella Demon Lord, and Water Cloud Demon Lord, they are respectively Moonlight White Carp, Nether Scale Mermaid, Starlight Jellyfish, and Scale Blood Thunder Eel who have attained enlightenment. The one with the highest cultivation level is only in the Integration Realm and has not yet reached the first tribulation, while the one with the lowest cultivation level is the same as her, which is in the Refining Void Realm.

Of all these powerful demons, only about half can truly be relied upon.

Demon Lords like Thousand-Bearded Demon Lord, Frostfin Demon Lord, Chiwen Demon Lord, Rotten Water Demon Lord, and Whirlpool Demon Lord are all elders of the Azure Wave Pool, reliable and trustworthy.

However, the Blood Jade Demon Lord, the Seven Rainbow Demon Lord, the Snail Tuo Demon Lord, and the Enchanting Water Demon Lord are unreliable.

Ao Yu knew that if these powerful demons were allowed to continue their discussion at such a crucial juncture, it would be too late.

After all, the reason why the Azure Wave Dragon King brought out half reliable and half unreliable people was not only to seek revenge against Penglai, Yaochi and the Southern Fire God Palace, but also to test whether these people who had come to him were truly willing to serve the Azure Wave Pool.

However, the Azure Wave Dragon King is still fast asleep. Although she is of the Azure Wave Dragon King's bloodline and belongs to the True Dragon Clan, she is not the master of the Azure Wave Pool. The fact that she is addressed as "Your Highness" by these powerful demons at the Integration Realm is already out of respect for the Azure Wave Dragon King.

In reality, whether it was Ao Yu or the Tuolong Prince who had already died under Jiang Sheng's sword and was later killed by Ye Wenshu, they were all at the peak of the Void Refining Realm and had not yet reached the Integration Realm. How could they be truly respected by these Integration Realm demons who valued strength above all else?

Not to mention Ao Yu, even her long-deceased younger brother, the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord with the bloodlines of a true dragon and a true phoenix, would have to fight to subdue these combined great demons.

While bloodline is certainly noble, strength is also a key factor valued by the demon race.

Moreover, looking at all the great demons in the palace, which one of them is truly an ordinary being?

Even an ordinary grass carp, if it can cultivate to the Integration Realm, is worthy of the respect of all great demons. Its bloodline will inevitably change, and it will surely open its own lineage in the future and become the ancestor of a clan. What's more, the people in this hall are either descendants of strange beasts or descendants of dragons. Outside, they would all be powerful demons who dominate their respective regions.

Not to mention them, even the dead tiger-dragons and crocodiles were different species with dragon bloodlines and their own destiny.

Thinking of the dead Tiger-Dragon and Crocodile, Ao Yu's heart was bleeding: Fei Qian was dead, but he was just someone who had surrendered to them, otherwise he wouldn't have been thrown out. But Tiger-Dragon and Crocodile were different; they belonged to the Flood Dragon and were reliable fighting forces of Bibo Pool!
Even the Azure Dragon King would be heartbroken to see these two lost!

Ao Yu's mind raced, but he maintained the composure and majesty of a true dragon, calmly listening to the great demons' argument. Then he looked at the hunchbacked old man with a jade crown and brocade robes standing to the side.

As Ao Yu looked over, the old man slowly nodded, then gently tapped his dragon-headed cane.

As the old man tapped his dragon-headed cane, the entire hall fell silent instantly. All the great demons, whether they were the elders of the Azure Wave Pool like the Thousand-Bearded Demon Lord and the Chiwen Demon Lord, or the newcomers like the Blood Jade Demon Lord and the Seven-Rainbow Demon Lord, all looked respectfully at the hunchbacked old man and asked, "What are your orders, Golden Turtle Demon Lord?"

Seeing the great demons' attitude, Ao Yu breathed a sigh of relief: The Golden Turtle Demon Lord was a dragon turtle who attained enlightenment. He had the blood of a true dragon in his body, and his back was covered with golden armor and dragon patterns. His bloodline was extraordinary. He had been an old brother who traveled the world with the Azure Wave Dragon King since he was a child.

It can be said that no great demon in the entire Bibo Pool has spent more time by the side of the Bibo Dragon King than the Golden Turtle Demon Lord. He personally witnessed how the Bibo Dragon King attained enlightenment and how he gradually came to be who he is today, possessing the foundation of Bibo Pool.

The entire Bibo Pool can be said to have been conquered by the Bibo Dragon King and the Golden Turtle Demon Lord. In Bibo Pool, the Golden Turtle Demon Lord is second only to the Dragon King and is the chief steward of Bibo Pool. Even when Ao Yu's good younger brother Jiu Feng was still alive, he would respectfully bow to the Golden Turtle Demon Lord.

This one is a cultivator with five tribulations of cultivation, and is another pillar of stability for the Azure Wave Pool besides the Azure Wave Dragon King.

At this moment, all the great demons in the hall waited quietly for the old steward of Bibo Pool to make his statement. The Golden Turtle Demon Lord did not disappoint Ao Yu. His tone was calm, but it carried an undeniable firmness: "The Tiger Flood Dragon has fallen, and the Flood Crocodile has also fallen. If the Sword Horn falls as well, how much fighting power will Bibo Pool have left?"

"No matter what, Sword Horn cannot die." "Blood Jade, Seven Rainbows, Conch Shell, Enchanting Water."

The Golden Turtle Demon Lord called out names one by one. Even if the great demons whose names were called were unwilling, they had no choice but to obediently stand up. Then the Golden Turtle Demon Lord looked at the remaining great demons and continued, "Bai Yu, You Lin, you follow too."

"I will personally go with you to meet this peerless genius of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School!"

Upon hearing that the Golden Turtle Demon Lord was going to take action personally, the Blood Jade Demon Lord and the Seven Rainbow Demon Lord showed no joy whatsoever; instead, their expressions grew even more bitter. If even the old steward of the Azure Wave Pool, the Golden Turtle Demon Lord, was personally taking action, how could the situation possibly improve?
The Golden Turtle Demon Lord glanced at Ao Yu and transmitted his voice, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will go and take a look. If you encounter any trouble, Your Highness should not worry about saving face, but go directly to the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest for help. They are more reliable than the Flood Dragon Sea!"

Hearing the telepathic message from the Golden Turtle Demon Lord, Ao Yu slowly nodded.

Immediately, the Golden Turtle Demon Lord, accompanied by six great demons, soared into the sky.

Sword light pierces through the clouds, bullets shatter the void and split the sky.

Where Jiang Sheng and the Sword Horned Demon Lord fought, the surrounding area was filled with crisscrossing, sharp sword energy. As the two masters of swords fought, their magnificent and sharp momentum swept in all directions, tearing the heavens and the earth with sword marks.

clang!
The clash of metal produced a resounding boom like a great bell, echoing throughout the heavens and the universe. The surging aftershocks unleashed a million-mile-long torrent of energy that swept across the land, ravaging this cracked and shattered space.

Two beams of light collided with the Qingping Sword, forcefully resisting its majestic and powerful sword aura. The incomparably sharp sword light shattered the void, but was blocked by the golden radiance surrounding the Sword Horn Demon Lord, as if it had crashed into some kind of copper wall or iron barrier.

At the same time, two more beams of light rushed in from the left and right, stirring up a vast expanse of Gengjin sword energy. They were wrapped in the blazing light of the stars and transformed into a streak of light that stretched across the sky. The majestic and sharp edge of the beams roared in, determined to cut Jiang Sheng in half on the spot.

Jiang Sheng neither dodged nor evaded. As the Four Symbols Sword Qi rose and fell, it stirred up streaks of sword light that crisscrossed and rushed out. Wind and thunder rushed and water and fire roared, blocking the two split light sword pellets on the left and right three zhang away from Jiang Sheng.

"The protective sword aura of the True Lord is truly extraordinary."

"The Demon Lord's horn-shelled golden demon is also extremely rare."

Jiang Sheng and the Sword Horned Demon Lord exchanged compliments, but showed no mercy when they attacked.

Just as the Sword Horn Demon Lord used two Dividing Light Sword Particles to block Jiang Sheng's Qingping Sword, and Jiang Sheng used his Protective Sword Qi to intercept the Sword Horn Demon Lord's attacks from the left and right, millions of miles away from the two, Jiang Sheng's Four Swords of Slaughter and Traps were fiercely fighting against the Sword Horn Demon Lord's remaining four Dividing Light Sword Particles.

But then one could hear the cries of cranes and the roar of dragons rushing across the heavens and earth, with the sobbing of green wind and the howling of thunder. The Immortal Execution Sword and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword charged and crashed about, displaying an unparalleled arrogance and fierce determination.

Meanwhile, the four sword pellets of the Sword Horn Demon Lord also split into countless sword lights, adorned with the brilliance of stars, flowing with the power of Geng metal, transforming into a great net of sword energy that encompasses heaven and earth.

The two sword masters fought fiercely. Sword Horn Demon Lord, watching Jiang Sheng's still rising momentum, secretly lamented his predicament and was shocked.

Although Sword Horn Demon Lord was born from Sword Embryo Stone and was a unique species with an affinity for swordsmanship and an innate sword heart, he was still no match for Jiang Sheng's Heaven-Slaying Sword Intent.

When the Azure Lotus Sword was unleashed, the Sword Horn Demon Lord could not intercept it with less than two sword pellets. However, if Jiang Sheng used the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique, he would need at least four sword pellets to block it.

As for the rest, faced with the pressure of being slaughtered and exterminated, the Sword Horned Demon Lord dared not mobilize them at all.

Sword Horn Demon Lord had no idea where Jiang Sheng had forged these four ferocious immortal swords. The four swords were clearly a set, forming a complete unit, sharp and fierce, with a chilling killing intent.

It's like some ferocious beast, always ready to devour its prey; it's not like a magical sword at all, but more like a deadly weapon.

Moreover, the four swords carry the intent of the Three Calamities and the breath of the final calamity and the end of fortune. When the four swords are combined, they also influence the transformation of wind, thunder, water and fire into the Four Symbols. When the Four Symbols are unleashed, they cover the sky and the sun, and wind, thunder, water and fire disturb the mind and soul. In addition, the sharpness of the Three Calamities and the calamity and the fate of the final calamity and the end of fortune make it seem as if the soul will be scattered and the body will die when these four swords are used.

The Sword Horn Demon Lord dared not let the four swords get close, and could only use half of his Dividing Light Sword Particles to block them. He had a premonition that if the four swords landed around him and formed a formation, he would probably lose his life here.

Originally, the eight sword pellets of the Sword Horn Demon Lord were a set, and when used together, they had the power to destroy the world and cleave stars and fall the moon. However, Jiang Sheng forced him to only unleash 50% of their power, which was really frustrating.

What surprised and puzzled the Sword Horn Demon Lord the most was that Jiang Sheng was clearly only a first-stage cultivator, and a newly promoted one, yet his magical power was so profound that even a veteran fourth-stage demon lord like him could not believe it.

Considering that the Sword Horned Demon Lord had attained enlightenment for over ten thousand years, living ten thousand years longer than Jiang Sheng, how profound and powerful his demonic power must be.

However, when facing Jiang Sheng, the Sword Horn Demon Lord felt that his demonic power was somewhat insufficient. Every time the Qingping Sword clashed with the Dividing Light Sword Pellet, it consumed a large amount of the Sword Horn Demon Lord's demonic power to maintain it. Not to mention that the Sword Horn Demon Lord also had to spare some attention to the four Dividing Light Sword Pellets on other battlefields.

The battle with Jiang Sheng made the Sword Horned Demon Lord realize what it meant to be mentally and physically exhausted. After only a short while of fighting, the Sword Horned Demon Lord already felt somewhat strained.

Little did they know that the Sword Horned Demon Lord was secretly alarmed, and Jiang Sheng was also somewhat surprised and suspicious.

Jiang Sheng, a Xuanmen True Monarch with the cultivation level of four tribulations, had fought before, but he had never encountered a Sword Horn Demon Monarch with such powerful magic and extraordinary swordsmanship.

Sword light and sword rainbow clashed and collided continuously. Jiang Sheng exchanged another move with the Sword Horned Demon Lord before withdrawing.

As the Sword-Horned Demon Lord looked at Jiang Sheng, who had retreated millions of miles away, a sense of vigilance arose for no apparent reason.

Jiang Sheng held his sword in one hand, his eyes gleaming with azure-gold light. As his momentum continued to rise, a magnificent sword intent far surpassing the previous one suddenly surged up, scattering the clouds and transforming into a blue lotus amidst a swaying sea of ​​stars.

"Demon Lord, this sword strike of mine is my latest understanding of sword intent and swordsmanship. I humbly request your guidance."

After saying this, the swaying starry sea of ​​blue lotus suddenly split apart, turning into blue lotus and black lotus that filled the world. In an instant, the sky and the ground were filled with the intertwined and swaying blue lotus sea. Jiang Sheng stood in the center of the blue lotus sea, as if standing above yin and yang. The Qingping sword in his hand stirred up layers of sword light, as if to destroy all laws and stir up time, or as if to reverse cause and effect and cut through time and space.

In an instant, the Sword Horned Demon Lord felt a sudden jolt in his heart. An indescribable, magnificent sword aura swept over the heavens, shining brightly and majestically.

Between heaven and earth, only Jiang Sheng's clear and indifferent Daoist voice echoed.

"Intercepting Heaven, Manifesting Creation." (End of Chapter)
