I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 633 Chance Encounter
"During each period of stability, have any Golden Immortals ever entered?"

Xia Daoming's voice lowered.

If a Golden Immortal were to enter, he would have to carefully weigh the options: whether to choose a normal time, disregarding the extreme chaos, instability, and danger of the space, or to enter during a stable period, or simply choose to give up due to risk considerations!

Others need the Reincarnation Fruit to quickly overcome their tribulations, but he doesn't have that urgent need.

What he truly cares about is the Nine Heavens Mystic Fire.

But if it's too dangerous, he'd rather wait for other news about real fire and water.

Yu Liao hurriedly reported:

"It is said that once a Golden Immortal steps into the Valley of Reincarnation, the period of stability will be instantly disrupted, triggering endless calamities. Therefore, no Golden Immortal has ever entered. It is even said that if a True Immortal of the Twelve Assemblies were to glimpse the path to becoming a Golden Immortal, it would also cause the stability to be disrupted and the danger to be greatly increased. Therefore, they rarely risk their lives for the mere Reincarnation Vermilion Fruit. Those who enter are mostly early and mid-level True Immortals, and a small number of high-level True Immortals below the Twelve Assemblies."

"Only a small number of high-level True Immortals below the Twelfth Guild entered, which is really good news! By the way, how long until the next period of stability?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Daoming raised an eyebrow and a look of delight appeared in his eyes.

If only a small number of high-ranking True Immortals below the twelfth rank enter the valley, he is confident that he can protect himself without any worries, relying on his own trump cards; and since the Samsara Valley is in a stable period and is a chaotic void environment that he is familiar with, it is equivalent to minimizing the risks for him.

"It's only been a year and a half, so after the clan leader received the news, he immediately ordered me to come and deliver the message. However, I've heard that during each opening of the Valley of Reincarnation, a large number of True Immortals perished within it, and even high-level True Immortals were not spared!"

Seeing that Xia Daoming was clearly interested, Yu Liao felt a pang of anxiety and then emphasized her words to remind him.

"A year and a half... That's great! It's like having a pillow delivered to your head when you're feeling sleepy!"

Xia Daoming was overjoyed, a burning light flashing in his eyes.

He then inquired in detail about the terrain and power distribution of Qionghua Shangjun.

Knowing that this prefecture is ten prefectures away from Biluo Prefecture, even with the speed of the Cloud Mane Leopard, it would probably take nearly a year to make a round trip without any delays.

"It seems I need to set off as soon as possible. I'll deal with the forces like Thousand-Legged Mountain when I return. If things get complicated now, it might attract stronger forces who could take advantage of my absence."

Xia Daoming weighed the options silently, his mind racing.

He could already sense the raging fire within his body, and knew that he would inevitably face a great tribulation within a year or two.

Originally, the plan was to establish authority and deal with Thousand-Foot Mountain within a year, but the news of the Nine Heavens Mystic Fire has disrupted the plan.

The following day, he summoned Xingyi and other important subordinates, gave them some instructions, and then rode on his cloud-maned leopard, quietly leaving the Si Tu Temple alone.

-

Chijiang Prefecture has 108 counties, of which 8 are superior counties.

Qionghua County is one of the eight superior counties, with a vast territory, abundant spiritual veins, and numerous powerful individuals.

Six months later.

A man and a leopard stand atop a majestic mountain, the mountain wind whipping their clothes, and fiery clouds stretching across the sky.

Looking down at the foot of the mountain, all that could be seen was an endless, scorching desert, barren of vegetation, with a scorching atmosphere in the air.

"Xiaoyun, Yansha County should be just ahead. After that, we'll reach Qionghua County. Thank you for your hard work on this journey. Let's rest here tonight and continue our journey tomorrow."

The man gently patted the leopard's neck, a gentle smile appearing on his lips.

The man and the leopard were none other than Xia Daoming and the Cloud-Maned Leopard.

With a year to go before the period of stability arrives, he is not in a hurry to travel.

During the day, he kept his eyes and ears open, both to broaden his knowledge and to hope that he might accidentally hear news about his fellow disciples or relatives.

At night, he would choose a quiet place, set up a concealment formation, sit cross-legged and cultivate, hone the nine divine weapons and the Ancestral Dragon Overlord Body divine power, and at the same time, make his Qi Refining path steadily advance to the Fifth Assembly Realm as soon as possible.

The clouded leopard gently rubbed its head against his arm, like a well-behaved big cat.

Xia Daoming chuckled, took out a piece of frozen black bear meat and threw it to it, then set up an illusion array and summoned Xuanming Nuwa and Youming Yanjun as protectors.

As night deepened, the Milky Way stretched westward.

As Xia Daoming was calming his mind and regulating his breathing, a streak of blood-red light suddenly tore through the darkness in the distant desert and sped towards him, followed closely by several streaks of precious light.

"Bloodthirsty Demon! You can't escape now, you'd better surrender!"

A fierce shout rang out like thunder, and a blade of light suddenly accelerated, slicing through the sky and blocking the path of the bloody light.

Then four figures rushed over and surrounded the blood-red light.

The blood-red light twisted and revealed a human figure.

The man's flesh and blood seemed to have been forcibly torn and pieced back together, his muscles bulging but covered with cracks, oozing a dark red light.

His eyes were like two pools of blood, flashing with a bloodthirsty glint; his mouth was split open to his ears, revealing chilling fangs.

The tattered, blood-stained robe seemed to blend seamlessly with the flesh, undulating slightly with each breath, a truly horrifying sight.

His fingernails were long and sharp as knives, and the dripping blood even made the sand sizzle and melt. "It was merely a blood sacrifice for a sacred site, why must you pursue it so relentlessly, Commandant?"

The Blood Demon grinned, his voice carrying a strong, bloody stench.

"It is my duty! Moreover, I have been instructed that I hate the indiscriminate killing of innocent people!"

The blade flashed, revealing a tall, thin man with a large frame; his black scales gleamed coldly in the moonlight.

His sword intent surged like a tide, pressing down on the heavens and earth as if they were frozen in time—he was none other than an Eighth-Level True Immortal, just one step away from the Ninth-Level Realm!
"It's him!"

Hidden within the illusion array, Xia Daoming suddenly opened his eyes, a look of disbelief and surprise flashing in them.

But he did not remove the battle flags. Instead, he suppressed his surging emotions and quietly looked down at the commotion below.

"Hmph, since that's the case, I'd like to see if you, Captain, and your men, can withstand the true waters of the Blood River!"

The Blood Demon sneered, a dark red gourd appearing in his hand at some unknown time.

He tossed the gourd into the air, and the mouth of the bottle opened wide.

boom--

Blood gushed forth, transforming into a raging river of blood, stirring up towering waves of blood that swept outwards.

"Step back! Protect yourselves with your magical artifacts to prevent him from escaping again!"

With a sharp shout, the captain's blades converged into a massive ball of light, enveloping him as he braced himself against the wave of blood.

The blood-red river surged and crashed down like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami.

The captain's blade flashed like a reversed galaxy, slicing through dozens of blade energies and forcefully splitting the blood wave. However, the true water of the Blood River was extremely filthy, and each time the blade energies touched it, they were corroded into fragments of light, turning into wisps of black smoke and dissipating.

"Kill me!"

The captain roared, his sword intent like a dragon, and with a furious slash, he tore through the void and approached the Bloodthirsty Old Demon.

"Heh heh... An Eighth-Level True Immortal, indeed terrifying!"

The Blood Demon's voice was hoarse and chilling, blood gushing from the corners of his mouth. Several knife wounds on his torn body sprayed crimson blood. He desperately urged his Blood River to defend himself, but was still forced back dozens of feet by the blade's energy, the sand beneath his feet corroded and charred black by his blood.

"kill!"

Four beams of light struck simultaneously, firmly sealing the Blood Demon in place.

The Blood Demon groaned as the blade grazed his chest, sending blood mist flying. He was almost cleaved in two.

His face was contorted in a ferocious grimace, and suddenly he roared to the sky, billowing blood mist gushing from his pores. His body, which had been swollen like a mountain, instantly withered into skin and bones, as if all life had been drained from him.

The sprayed blood mist transformed into countless scarlet runes, which were all swallowed up by the Blood River Gourd.

"With my lifeblood as a sacrifice—Blood River Resurrection!"

The Bloodthirsty Demon grinned wildly, his voice like tearing silk.

boom--

The Blood River Gourd trembled violently, spewing out a torrent of blood-red light. In an instant, the Blood River transformed into a raging sea, whipping up blood waves hundreds of feet high, carrying boundless filth as it surged into the sky, causing the heavens and earth to lose their color and the mountains to tremble!

"Oh no! Retreat!"

The Eight Immortals Commander's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly gave orders.

But it was too late.

A terrifying wave of blood crashed down, and a torrent of foul power invaded everyone's bodies.

Except for the captain who barely managed to protect himself with his immortal power, the other four people's skin and flesh rotted rapidly, their stark white bones clearly exposed, and their rotting blood dripped onto the sand, even emitting wisps of white smoke.

Taking advantage of the situation, the Bloodthirsty Demon transformed into a streak of blood-red light and flashed out from the gap, rapidly fleeing towards the distant mountains—the very place where Xia Daoming had been hiding and cultivating.

The captain gritted his teeth, wanting to give chase, but felt the foul power of the Blood River True Water like a bone-deep sore, constantly drilling into his meridians, causing his immortal power to stagnate.

"Damn it, this demon escaped!" His face turned ashen, and he had no choice but to focus all his efforts on suppressing the blood and filth that had seeped into his body.

However, in the next instant, the streak of blood-red light that was fleeing suddenly stopped in the air above the mountain ridge, as if it had been forcibly pulled back by an invisible giant hand. Then, along with the Blood River Gourd, it lost its luster and plummeted straight down from mid-air.

"H-How is this possible—"

The crimson light in the Blood Demon's eyes dimmed instantly, and fear and resentment mingled on his face before he crashed into the rocks like a meteorite.

"it is good!"

At the foot of the mountain, the captain was overjoyed at the sight and swiftly charged up the mountain, his sword flashing.

　That concludes today's update.
