I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 772 This human race is definitely not the Undying Chaos!
Four primordial demons arrived one after another.

The void trembled, and the first to catch up was the fastest nine-headed demon owl!

Its nine heads emitted piercing shrieks as it attacked Gu Yuanqing. Half of its eighteen demonic eyes were fixed on Gu Yuanqing, while the other half stared at the four streaks of light that had already disappeared into the distance. A ghostly green light fell from its eyes onto Gu Yuanqing, but its massive body was exceptionally agile, drawing an arc as it attempted to bypass Gu Yuanqing and pounce on the fleeing Xuanji Tianjun and the others.

"This road is blocked."

Gu Yuanqing's indifferent voice rang out. He took a step forward, shrinking the distance to an inch, and precisely blocked the nine-headed demon owl's path.

The Four Phases Sword Domain of Calamity also moved simultaneously with it as its core. The light of subduing demons enveloped it like a net in the sky, the chains of sealing demons wrapped around the void, and the sword energy of sweeping away demons tried to cut it apart, instantly blocking its advance.

The nine-headed demon owl was furious. It opened all nine mouths and spewed out corrosive demonic fire and soul-splitting sonic waves that clashed violently with the Four Phases Sword Formation of Calamity, stirring up a storm of energy.

Ripples appeared in the void.

Just as the two clashed, the void on the other side rippled like water, and the Shadow Demon silently transformed into an almost invisible shadow, trying to bypass the battlefield by hugging the edge of the battlefield.

"Now that you're here, why rush to leave?"

Gu Yuanqing chuckled. His main body was locked in combat with the Nine-Headed Demon Owl, but that didn't prevent him from having a complete grasp of the entire battlefield.
Under the all-seeing gaze, no spatial fluctuation could escape his notice.

His body swayed slightly, and another figure stepped out from within him!
The second clone instantly appeared in front of the Shadow Demon, its sword intent flowing, directly targeting the original demonic thought hidden deep in the void!

The Shadow Demon was forced to reveal its blurry outline and engage in battle with this second clone.

Its greatest strength lies in its stealth, yet it is constantly restrained before the Heavenly Demon Heart Sword, which directly targets the mind and reflects all things.

Although the nine-headed demon owl was fast, it could not outrun Gu Yuanqing's exquisite spatial teleportation;
The Shadow Demon comes and goes without a trace, yet it cannot escape the insight of the Heart Sword Technique.

These two clones firmly blocked the two Chaotic Undying Heavenly Demons, giving them no chance to escape.

The Four Phases Sword of Calamity Suppressor was inherently effective against the Heavenly Demon Path, and each strike seemed to directly target their original demonic thoughts, making them dare not take the blow head-on.

They had fought Gu Yuanqing before; after a month of fierce battle, both sides should have been quite familiar with each other. Yet, at this moment, they suddenly found that the person in front of them had become a stranger.

In the midst of this fierce battle, Xuanji Tianjun, Ji Shan, Han Jingshan, and Lu Jiuming had already fled to a distance of 100,000 miles away, almost escaping the edge of the pupil technique's perception at the level of the Undying Chaos Realm.

What angered the two immortal demons even more was that Gu Yuanqing's two clones, after going through a series of battles, should have exhausted their true essence, but their aura not only did not decline, but instead, like withered trees coming back to life and dry wells finding a source, they rose steadily at an astonishing speed!
It turned out that Gu Yuanqing's true form had already opened his eyes inside the Beiquan Cave.

Using the Heavenly Fishing Technique, he disregarded the barriers of the void and poured his vast true essence and divine soul power across space into his clone!

The true essence that was about to be exhausted was quickly replenished, and the mind was also quickly restored due to the intervention of the main body's will.

In just a short while, the pressure emanating from each clone was already similar to its peak state when it first stepped into the outer battlefield!
Just then, the distant void was dyed crimson, and a raging sea of ​​blood rolled in. The Blood Sea Demon Lord, riding on endless waves of blood, finally arrived!

That filthy, overwhelming, all-consuming aura was enough to make any cultivator change color.

However, facing this third Undying Demon, Gu Yuanqing remained calm, and another clone stepped out!

The clone was engulfed in raging Chaos Flame, its ten-thousand-foot-tall body resembling a fire deity descending to earth, actively facing the overwhelming sea of ​​blood!
"laugh--!"

The moment the Chaotic Primordial Flame came into contact with the Sea of ​​Blood, a violent sound erupted.

The filthy blood waves tried to overwhelm the Chaotic Flame, but were constantly burned and purified by the black and white flames, turning into pure energy that nourished itself!

To outsiders, the Blood Sea Demon Lord, the most troublesome being in this outer void, has become a source of sustenance for Gu Yuanqing, who possesses the Chaotic Yuan Fire and nearly inexhaustible true essence!
The Blood Sea Demon Lord drove the Blood Sea to evolve various demonic arts, condensing countless blood demons to frantically attack, but they could not break through the barrier of the Chaotic Primordial Fire at all. Instead, the aura of Gu Yuanqing's clone became more and more powerful.

The three clones each fought a single, undead Chaos Undying Demon, and none of them were at a disadvantage!

Its true power remained hidden, not unleashed at full strength. This was because Xuanji Tianjun and the others had not gone too far; if they looked back, they might be able to see the scene on the battlefield.

Moreover, if he appeared too powerful, he might scare away these demons, which was not what Gu Yuanqing wanted to see.

After about half an incense stick's time, the terrifying Bone Demon, formed from endless skeletons and resentment, finally arrived late.

It roared to the sky, its demonic voice sweeping across all directions, stirring up a monstrous storm in the void.

Gu Yuanqing could feel his mind swaying slightly in the sound of the howl.

The primordial demonic thought of the Shadow Demon, which was closest to the Bone Demon, was also forced to reveal itself from the void by this roar, and paused for a moment. It was then cleaved into countless fragments by Gu Yuanqing's Demon-Slaying Sword Intent, and some of its primordial demonic thoughts were even destroyed.

The Shadow Demon of No Form gathered and took shape in another location. It let out a sharp cry at the Bone Demon. From the mental fluctuations it emitted, Gu Yuanqing could sense that it was cursing the Bone Demon as a fool.

Gu Yuanqing remained unhurried, and created another clone to fight the four Heavenly Demons separately.

He even deliberately suppressed his own power, making himself appear as if he had fallen from his peak, and that the strength he had shown before was just an outburst.

Time passed little by little.

Gu Yuanqing's clone glanced back, but even with the help of his main body, there was no trace of Xuanji Daojun and the others' escape light.

They must be quite far apart now.

Seeing that they could not shake off Gu Yuanqing and were also unable to pursue the others, the four Heavenly Demons focused all their attention on Gu Yuanqing.

Even though Gu Yuanqing seemed very different from his previous behavior, making them suspicious, their greed made them unwilling to back down.

This is outside the realm, not the spirit world.

This is their home turf. No matter how powerful this human cultivator is, if they are trapped in this endless void, there will eventually be a moment when they can exhaust his vital energy.

The stronger Gu Yuanqing is, the greater the benefits will be after he devours him.

It's as if they could already see themselves devouring the humans before them, transforming from a demon king at the level of a demon of tribulation into a demon lord of other forms.

At this moment, the four Chaotic Undying Heavenly Demons looked at Gu Yuanqing with greed. This greed overwhelmed their suspicion and fear, and also overwhelmed the sense of unease they might have sensed.

Gu Yuanqing wasn't in a hurry. Fishing requires patience, especially when it's about catching a demon.

In his battles with them, he continued to hone his skills with the Four Symbols Sword of Calamity Suppression.

In fact, during this month of combat, his understanding of the Four Symbols Sword of Calamity Suppression had become increasingly profound.

This is completely different from experiencing enlightenment alone, or even from engaging in battle at Mount Ling. The two are not comparable. Although the trials at Mount Ling are real, one ultimately knows that they are illusions, and are entirely different from the real battles outside this realm.

And within the North Spring Cave Heaven.

Gu Yuanqing stood with his hands behind his back, chuckling to himself, "No wonder Senior Tianjian was able to kill five Demon Kings at the Chaotic Undying level all by himself back then. Perhaps the Heavenly Demon Sword Dao played a great role in that."

To say that the Heavenly Demon is strong is not really true; in terms of strength, it may not be stronger than cultivators of the same level. It is only because it is located outside the realm and due to its own characteristics that it is very difficult to kill and impossible to defend against.

It is easy to defeat them, but it is quite difficult to completely eliminate them.

Especially for Heavenly Demons at the Undying level, they are almost impossible to kill. So much so that when the Yujie Alliance used five Chaotic Undyings, they could only severely injure one of them and refine most of its power. They did not expect to be able to completely suppress and kill this Heavenly Demon.

Even with Gu Yuanqing's strength, he only succeeded by using himself as bait to instantly lure her into Beiquan Cave Heaven.

In comparison, the fact that the Heavenly Sword Elder single-handedly killed five Great Demons of Chaos and Immortality can be described as a truly remarkable feat.

The Heavenly Demon Sword Path can be considered a further extension and improvement of the Heart Sword Path within the Demon Subduing Sword Path.

The Way of the Heart Sword is to use the heart as a mirror to reflect all things.

Once the sword mind is clear, any external change can be fully understood, and one's own swordsmanship can move in accordance with the mind.

The Heavenly Demon Sword Path takes these to the extreme. The greatest characteristic of the sword path is its unpredictability, and another major characteristic is the art of bewitching the mind.

Using the Way of the Heart Sword to sense the weaknesses of others' minds and wills, and thus strike their flaws, the Heavenly Demon Sect's techniques for controlling others' minds and even seizing their bodies are a further extension of this method.

Although Gu Yuanqing cultivated the Heavenly Demon Sword Dao and his attainments in it were not shallow, they were not particularly profound.

However, his understanding of the Heavenly Demon Sword Dao has changed somewhat after his previous encounter with the Illusionary Cloud Demon Mother and his more than month-long battle with the Undying Heavenly Demon.

Right now, these demons are insanely greedy because they are using the demonic path to influence their own demonic nature. Unbeknownst to them, their greed has overwhelmed everything else.

Such is the clash of spirits and wills. The Heavenly Demon interfered with Gu Yuanqing's will with his spirit, which in turn gave Gu Yuanqing the opportunity to erode his mind.

This in itself may not cause much harm to the Heavenly Demon, but it is enough to affect its judgment and weaken its vigilance.

That was enough for Gu Yuanqing.

During the battle, he glanced at the outer perimeter and could already see the figures of other Heavenly Demons of slightly lower rank in the distance.

"That's about right. If we wait a little longer until the other low-level Heavenly Demons arrive, these Chaotic Undying Heavenly Demons can use them to conceal themselves."

This time, Gu Yuanqing did not intend to use the method of imprisoning himself, because he was already unfit.

The Illusionary Cloud Demon Mother leans towards pure spiritual power, using mind-controlling attacks as her primary method of attack, while these current figures are clearly different.

Whether it's the Nine-Headed Demon Owl, the Blood Sea Demon Lord, or the Bone Demon, they all manifest their physical forms, with attacks in the form of spiritual will and magical abilities each accounting for half. Even the most bizarre Shadow Demon is no exception.

Even if Gu Yuanqing lowers his defenses, they will not enter Gu Yuanqing's mind like the Illusionary Cloud Demon Mother, but will devour Gu Yuanqing's clone's physical body and will.

Different demons naturally require different methods.

However, Gu Yuanqing had no interest in figuring out the specific weaknesses of each Heavenly Demon in order to set up different traps; that would be too troublesome. His plan was to use force to overcome all laws!

The four Heavenly Demons, distracted by the Heart Demon Sword Dao, had already forgotten to shake off Gu Yuanqing and pursue the others.

Gu Yuanqing's battle with him was no longer about stopping his actions, but about finding the source of his demonic thoughts.

The four clones are located in the four directions, seemingly fighting independently, but they are actually positioned precisely at the four sword positions of the unfolded Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array.

Unbeknownst to them, the auras of the four clones had become quite different.

One is upright and peaceful, encompassing all paths; another is as solid as a mountain, as immovable as a rock; another is sharp and unpredictable, like a sword that cleanses the world; and the last one is unpredictable and ever-changing.

Four people, four swords, their sword formations complementing each other.

The aura belonging to the true entity suddenly descended and took control of the great formation.

The four Heavenly Demons who had been frantically attacking Gu Yuanqing suddenly trembled in their hearts, and an extreme sense of fear rose up, instantly shattering their original greed.

They seemed to suddenly realize something, their bodies stiffened slightly, and then they all turned and fled in panic.

The Nine-Headed Demon Owl is known for its speed, so it goes without saying. The Shadow Demon of No Form escaped into the void at a speed far exceeding its usual pace. Even the Blood Sea Demon Lord and the Bone Demon appeared incredibly swift at this moment.

In addition, they are even using secret techniques among the celestial demons to transfer their own original demonic thoughts.

This is why the Heavenly Demons are so difficult to kill. Once they sense that their lives are in danger, they will not fight you at all. All their actions are for survival and evolution. They do not care about any face, morality, or human limitations.

To some extent, their sense of danger is far more acute than that of human cultivators!
Gu Yuanqing had already anticipated this change in the Heavenly Demon. When his true aura truly descended, it would be the time to make his move, and he would not give the Heavenly Demon from beyond the realm any chance to react.

The Four Symbols Sword Formation of Calamity Suppressed was fully deployed.

Under the master's command, the power of the sword formation was completely different from before.

The vast sword domain covered an area of ​​over 30,000 li, and everything here changed according to Gu Yuanqing's thoughts.

The boundless primordial energy made the power of this sword domain seem to have surpassed the limits of the Undying Chaos Realm.

Under the suppression, all the demons slowed down, and their originally hidden demonic thoughts seemed to become more apparent under this power.

Although the Nine-Headed Demon Owl was fast, it could not escape the dense net of Demon-Slaying Swords. The Formless Shadow Demon attempted to escape into the void, but found that the void seemed to have changed into a form it did not recognize.

The Blood Sea Demon Lord discovered that the Blood Sea he relied on seemed unable to withstand the sword energy, and the Blood Sea's operation became sluggish. In fact, the Blood Sea itself was being interfered with by some force and turned into sword energy, backfiring on him.

As for the Bone Demon, its enormous body became a complete target. Its once seemingly incomparable power appeared insignificant. Wherever the sword light passed, bones began to shatter, and the wronged souls on them began to be obliterated.

At this moment, the four celestial demons were somewhat panicked.

"This human is definitely not an immortal cultivator, but a nascent immortal!"
