Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 714 The Five-Horned Troll Appears! (Two Chapters Combined)

"I wish to offer this to you, Great Immortal." The grass spirit knelt, bowed its head, and presented the white pearl with both hands.

Seeing that the grass spirit was quite self-aware, Song Changming raised his eyebrows and decided not to pursue the matter further.

He took the white bead in his hand and examined it. He then probed into it with his divine sense and studied some of the immortal patterns inside. He was able to capture and understand the information about the bead.

This bead is called the Water-Stabilizing Bead, and it is a superior magic treasure!
It's unknown which immortal on the battlefield lost it. No wonder this grass spirit is reluctant to part with it. After all, high-grade magic treasures are extremely precious. Even many true immortals in the Celestial Court only use low- to mid-grade magic treasures.

Song Changming estimated that any high-grade magic weapon could easily be exchanged for a hundred or so high-grade immortal-nourishing pills in the Celestial Court.

Such a treasure was naturally not something Song Changming would let go of.

Although he became an immortal, he did not become compassionate or merciful, and he did not refuse the high-grade magic treasure that he had obtained.

He glanced at the pale-looking grass spirit and casually tossed out a demonic body.

The other party was also a plant spirit, but in the end, they went down the path of evil.

"How much essence of herbs and plants you can obtain by refining it yourself depends on you," Song Changming said casually.

There are many more monster corpses like these on the battlefield between immortals and demons.

Song Changming would casually put it into his Qiankun Ring whenever he saw it.

In terms of value, the corpse of such a low-level demon is naturally far inferior to a high-grade magic weapon, but it is of great use to that grass spirit.

"Thank you for your reward, Great Immortal! Thank you for your reward, Great Immortal!" The grass spirit kowtowed repeatedly, even she herself hadn't expected to receive compensation.

Song Changming's gaze swept over all the mountain spirits again. He could tell at a glance who was deceiving him from the witch god soul in his Nether Sea.

After confirming that none of the other mountain spirits had obtained any magical treasures, Song Changming did not linger and flew back to the battlefield between immortals and demons.

Then he witnessed a horrifying scene.

The owner of that giant hand, with an enormous figure, was shrouded in mist. It was so huge that even a glance was not enough to see its entire form.

Then, from above the clouds, another giant hand suddenly parted the clouds and reached out.

With a casual flick of the wrist, the seemingly towering Tiandu Mountain was toppled, as easily as knocking down a stack of building blocks.

With the collapse of Tiandu Mountain, the spiritual veins stretching for tens of thousands of miles seemed to lack suppression, rising from the ground and all beginning to flee.

In an instant, the world changed color, and spiritual energy surged forth from all directions like springs, unstoppable, causing chaos.

At that moment, a gigantic head emerged from the clouds, terrifyingly obscuring everyone's view.

The head has a human face, with eyes like two huge and deep black holes, ears like solid walls, a nose like a towering mountain, and a mouth like an endless abyss.

He opened his mouth wide, and an astonishing devouring power followed.

The spiritual veins and the vast earth spirit energy that were still fleeing between heaven and earth all rushed into that huge maw and were completely devoured by him.

This colossal object seems to draw energy from heaven and earth to restore itself.

At this moment, Song Changming finally saw the huge figure clearly, which was indeed the troll he had thought.

However, ordinary trolls are only a hundred or a thousand feet tall, but this troll in front of us is ten thousand feet tall, or even more!
He looks exactly like the King of Trolls!
Combined with the five long horns coiled around its head, it looks as if it is wearing a black crown.

Song Changming understood. This was the culprit that had shaken the entire Celestial Court and caused this great war between immortals and demons—the Five-Horned Giant Demon!
Even just glimpsing its imposing presence from afar was enough to inspire awe, and Song Changming dared not approach any further.

Given the power of this five-horned troll, it's possible that a mere breath from it could obliterate its soul and body.

Just then, the clouds in the sky were quickly dispersed and disappeared, and a large amount of divine light shone down.

All that could be seen were gods and Buddhas holding magical treasures and immortal artifacts, surrounding the five-horned giant demon high in the sky, forming a standoff between the two sides.

This also includes the Great Heavenly General Lei Xiao, who led his army.

However, he was not standing in the first row; standing alongside him were nineteen great heavenly generals!
Before him stood a deity clad in purple armor.

The man had a Heaven-Illuminating Divine Sword leaning against one arm, and a small celestial banner in his other hand. A large red ribbon of light was wrapped around his shoulder.

His eyes shone with a divine light, as brilliant as starlight.

In terms of presence, their Thunderclap Heavenly General was already quite domineering and unparalleled.

But in the presence of this deity, the great heavenly general paled in comparison.

In contrast, the deity holding the divine sword and the celestial banner was truly invincible, exuding divine might and clearly unfathomable power.

By observing the deity's position, Song Changming could easily deduce the deity's true identity.

If nothing unexpected happens, it is none other than the Supreme Marshal who commands a million Northern Celestial Army, the Celestial King of Shenxiao!

It is said that there are currently 258 Golden Immortals in the entire Celestial Court.

And this Divine Firmament Heavenly King was none other than one of the two hundred and fifty-eight Golden Immortals!

In terms of celestial rank and strength, this Divine Firmament Heavenly King was the one with the highest celestial rank and the strongest strength that Song Changming had personally witnessed!

Even his former fellow townsman, Yuan Tianzun, had to bow and pay his respects to this Shenxiao Heavenly King.

Putting everything else aside, the title "Golden Immortal" alone is enough to indicate that he must be standing at the very core of the entire Celestial Court, and he can enter and leave the Celestial King's Palace without any hindrance!

However, Song Changming thought again that even with the help of this Golden Immortal Heavenly King, four years have passed and the five-horned giant demon has still not been eliminated.

This also shows how difficult it is to kill that five-horned giant demon; even Golden Immortals feel helpless against it.

Besides this Golden Immortal, there are other highly accomplished gods and Buddhas in the heavens, and these gods and Buddhas all hold high positions in the celestial court.

One of the Buddhas, a fat man with a youthful face and a large belly, squinted his eyes and slowly chanted.

"You killed the Buddhist monk Kongzang, and now you are burdened by karma and bound by the Great Dao. You should know that your end is near. Why not lay down your butcher's knife and surrender, so that I can convert you and lead you into the Buddhist path?"

The five-horned troll also looked up at the sky, its gaze falling on the fat Buddha.

"What a joke! All Buddhists are hypocritical. How could I possibly associate with you?"

"The so-called instant enlightenment is truly laughable."

The troll's voice echoed throughout the entire battlefield of immortals and demons, and all the immortals, gods, and demons heard it clearly, drawing cold stares from many powerful Buddhist and Taoist figures.

"To insult our Buddhist community is truly despicable." A Buddhist figure standing on a golden lotus platform suddenly spoke, his voice ringing out.

His body was filled with Buddha's light, and his appearance was androgynous, neither male nor female.

"Let's remove his demonic fetus first, capture his demonic soul, and bring it back to slowly convert him," another Buddha said.

"good."

Many Buddhas lowered their brows and closed their eyes, offering a word of approval.

Shenxiao Tianwang simply watched as the Buddhas made their decisions.

Having just lost a great figure, he couldn't say much at this moment.

No matter how we discuss it, we definitely have to take down this five-horned troll first.

As for what happens next, that's not something these great Buddhas can decide with a single word. He couldn't possibly allow them to take the five-horned giant's soul without permission. "If you want war, then let's fight! I'm not afraid of you!"

As the five-horned troll spoke, it raised its massive hand and slapped the sky.

In an instant, the Nine Luminaries vanished, and the entire sky darkened.

Demonic energy rose from the earth, dispelling all spirituality in the world, dominating the world, and swallowing the heavens!

All the Buddha's light, divine flames, and immortal energy were suppressed and rendered colorless at this moment!
Fighting against countless gods and Buddhas single-handedly, without any fear or intention to retreat, this scene truly shook Song Changming to his core.

This troll is far too powerful.

Whether it was this giant demon or any of the gods and immortals in the sky, Song Changming couldn't even get close to it at this moment.

In other words, Song Changming, with his mere True Immortal strength, didn't even have the qualifications to stand there.

"In the face of true divinity, all are but ants," Song Changming thought to himself.

Only after becoming an immortal do you realize that there are immortals above immortals, and gods above gods.

Judging from this display, Song Changming understood that this five-horned giant was probably about to engage in a decisive battle with the Celestial Court.

Just in case, Song Changming retreated even further to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

At this point, even going over to cheer and wave a flag was beyond his capabilities.

He glanced at the reaction on his armor again, wondering if Li Gengsheng, the team leader, and the rest of the heavenly soldiers were still alive.

Looking back, the moment the troll's foot landed was quite a thrilling scene.

If they're not careful, the entire army could be wiped out.

He wanted to find Li Gengsheng, but on this battlefield between immortals and demons, Song Changming dared not recklessly use his divine soul perception.

If this attracts the attention of powerful evil spirits, the consequences could be dire; Li Gengsheng might not even be found before he suffers the consequences.

If he absolutely had to find a team, he could only scan the area with his naked eye.

"Ten Directions Demon-Slaying Formation!"

High above, a magnificent divine sound resounded.

Looking over, Song Changming saw that the Divine Firmament Heavenly King had already thrown out the celestial banner in his hand.

The next moment, the celestial array was set up.

Divine fire from all four directions, celestial wind from all eight directions, and heavenly thunder pillars from all ten directions.
Numerous divine images manifested, directly trapping the five-horned giant.

One of the lightning pillars landed more than ten miles away from Song Changming, releasing a massive amount of lightning power, like thousands of lightning dragons running around.

Song Changming never expected that even after retreating again and again, he would still be affected.

When the thunder dragon attacked, all the demons it touched were reduced to nothingness. Only a few demonic souls managed to escape and flee underground.

Song Changming's heart tightened as well.

Fortunately, this immortal formation fully demonstrates the meaning of its name: the Demon-Slaying Formation.

When the thunder dragon touched him, it merely pushed him away without actually harming him.

Clearly, this formation is intelligent enough to destroy demons without destroying immortals.

That makes sense now. Otherwise, with such a powerful celestial array set up, the heavenly soldiers and generals under this Heavenly King would probably suffer countless losses.

Song Changming breathed a sigh of relief and immediately retreated several hundred miles away again.

As a result, he could no longer clearly see the giant troll's enormous figure.

Unfortunately, he no longer even has the right to watch from afar.

After that, he wandered alone along the edge of the Immortal-Demon Battlefield, searching for teammates like Li Gengsheng while also scouring the battlefield.

Unfortunately, even though countless heavenly soldiers and generals died or were injured, the battlefield was not littered with magical treasures, and unclaimed immortal artifacts were piled up like mountains.

On the one hand, even if the heavenly soldiers and generals die, they still have their immortal souls that can carry away the magical treasures and artifacts they possess.

Even if their immortal souls perished, their magical treasures and immortal artifacts were either taken away on the spot by evil spirits or collected by some treasure-gathering immortal officials in treasure bags.

The so-called "Treasure-Gathering Immortal Official" was a special immortal position that accompanied the army on expeditions.

They do not participate in the battles between immortals and demons; their positions are purely logistical.

Its primary function is to transport supplies and collect materials left behind on the battlefield, with a focus on collecting magical artifacts and celestial weapons dropped by the dead celestial soldiers and generals.

It is precisely because of these professionals that finding a bargain in the Immortal-Demon Battlefield is not an easy task.

Under these circumstances, the grass spirit was indeed extremely lucky to have found a high-grade magic treasure like the Water-Stabilizing Pearl.

Of course, for Song Changming, even though magical treasures and immortal artifacts were hard to find, the corpses of demons scattered everywhere were still a great harvest.

The troll flesh and blood he had previously refined had provided him with a tremendous physical enhancement effect.

Even though the flesh and blood of ordinary demons cannot compare to that of the troll, it is still an excellent refining resource, and Song Changming would certainly not miss it.

He continuously extracted the essence of flesh and blood from these demons along the way until his body was full of it and could not be refined in a short time. Then he switched to using the Qiankun Ring to store the goods.

The Qiankun Ring he possesses now was crafted by him personally, and it is comparable to a tenth-tier talisman.

After all, possessing the Eye of Space gives him a significant advantage over other rune masters in the development and research of spatial runes.

As a tenth-tier talisman, the Qiankun Ring naturally has an enormous internal storage space, exceeding ten thousand feet in both length and width!

If that five-horned troll had just lay still, it might have been able to fit inside.

He possesses more than a dozen such Qiankun Rings.

Therefore, as long as Song Changming wanted to, he could take away a huge amount of demonic flesh and blood!
And he did so.

While assembling, he was silently calculating in his mind.

If he can emerge unscathed from this battle between immortals and demons, the harvest of demonic flesh alone will be enough to propel his physical strength to the Myriad Paths Dragon Power stage!
His physical strength is comparable to that of ten thousand dragons; just thinking about it is terrifying!
This power is enough to make many immortals and gods in the Celestial Court exclaim that their eyes have been opened.

If it were a contest of pure strength, even human immortals with the power of celestial beings might find it difficult to match this level of power.

Thinking of this, Song Changming felt even more eager, and his movements to collect the demon corpses became faster.

Of course, things didn't always go smoothly during this process.

Many powerful demons, upon witnessing his friendly act of collecting the corpses of his companions, excitedly pounced on him, insisting on taking a bite before leaving.

Song Changming was quick-witted enough to respond fiercely to a weak demon and take away the fresh demon corpse that the demon had forced upon him.

If they encounter an enemy that is too powerful and they cannot defeat it, they will decisively choose to flee and seek help from some powerful immortals or gods on the battlefield, luring the elite monsters to them.
