I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 806 What does this have to do with me?

This demon king transformed into human form, wearing a long black robe and with fair skin. The only difference between him and a human was his pair of scarlet eyes.

Gu Yuanqing's gaze sharpened slightly: "Boundless?"

The Demon King of No Return is one of the two celestial demons at the level of a Void Immortal under the command of the Demon Lord of the Dark Netherworld.

During the era when Xuan You slept, they ruled over the Heavenly Demons under their command. Although their strength was inferior to Xuan You's, they were proficient in the Dao of Space, ranking among the top ten Heavenly Demon experts listed by the human race.

Furthermore, he is proficient in the way of space, and his body can exist between the real and the virtual. His difficulty in dealing with him is almost second only to the three great demon lords. It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, three human immortal masters set up an ambush to kill him, but he still managed to escape.

A sinister smile appeared on the lips of the Demon King of No Return: "It seems that the human race knows quite a lot about us!"

Gu Yuanqing remained expressionless and said, "So, you knew we were coming and set up an ambush here?"

The Demon King of the Abyss stood silently in the void, arms crossed, observing Gu Yuanqing with great interest. He said, “Don’t worry, I won’t kill you now. You have a solid foundation and profound knowledge, but unfortunately, your cultivation level is still lacking. Just like the crops of your human race, they are not yet ripe. It would be a pity to harvest them now.”

“Since the target isn’t to kill me, then it must be for the sake of those from the Great Hao Divine Dynasty. While you’re holding me back here, the Bone-Eating Demon King is still in the valley.” Gu Yuanqing glanced at the valley below in the distance. In the battle just now, they had unknowingly traveled hundreds of miles away.

"Brilliant!" the Demon King of the Abyss praised.

Gu Yuanqing nodded slightly: "I understand. It seems that the Great Hao Dynasty has been corrupted by the Eclipse Moon Sect to a considerable extent. It's amazing that you were able to get the news in such a short time."

"You humans have a saying, 'A wise man submits to circumstances.'" The Demon King of the Boundless spoke calmly. "Your name is Gu Yuanqing, right? You are exceptionally talented, why not switch to cultivating my Heavenly Demon Path? Even if a cultivator achieves the status of a Void Immortal, their lifespan is only ten thousand years. If they cannot become an Immortal, they will eventually turn into a handful of dust. But my Heavenly Demon Path allows one to live forever, coexisting with heaven and earth. This may be your only option to survive."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuanqing chuckled and shook his head: "Immortality? If you are like us, devoid of humanity, like a bunch of parasites, then we're better off without it!"

"Humanity? You humans..."

The Demon King of the Infernal Realm laughed loudly, but suddenly his laughter stopped abruptly. He raised an eyebrow and sensed a very subtle spatial fluctuation.

He suddenly raised his hand and waved it, and the "Gu Yuanqing" who was speaking in front of him rippled like a bubble and then disappeared!

"Trying to leave?" The Demon King of the Boundless Realm snorted coldly, his figure suddenly disappearing from his original spot and appearing in front of the valley hundreds of miles away in an instant. The terrifying aura of the Void Immortal level suddenly erupted, forcibly disrupting the spatial structure here.

hum!
A figure was forcibly pulled out of the void; it was Gu Yuanqing.

Without hesitation, Gu Yuanqing made his move the moment he was forced into a corner.

Sword intent transforms into array, all laws return to their origin.

The sword domain took shape instantly. Within the sword domain, the laws of heaven and earth were subtly altered, and everything was transformed into the most suitable scene for the sword path to be displayed. All things in heaven and earth, and even spiritual energy, were transformed into wisps of sword energy.

The Demon King of Boundless World snorted coldly, and the Boundless Demon Domain opened, clashing fiercely with the Myriad Manifestations Sword Domain.

This is a manifestation of their understanding of the Great Dao!
The Demon King of the Infernal Realm is at the level of a Void Immortal, and his control over the Great Dao of this world is naturally superior to that of Gu Yuanqing, which Gu Yuanqing cannot obtain.

Seeing this, Gu Yuanqing changed his sword stance again!

The Sword of Eternal Solidity Across All Realms!
A powerful sword intent appeared, a sword that combined his understanding of the laws of space and the Northern Spring World Seal, dedicated to suppression and stabilization!
The sword light was not sharp, but it carried a powerful force that could stabilize the world and freeze time and space. Combined with the return of all laws to the origin, it was as if a stabilizing needle had been thrown in, instantly stabilizing the situation. The majestic shadow of Beiquan Mountain appeared, and it actually compressed the Boundless Demon Realm rapidly.

"Interesting!" A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Demon King of No Return. The opponent was actually able to shake his demonic domain, and he instantly increased his power.

Gu Yuanqing's offensive came in waves.

The Great Annihilation Sword!
Countless white-gold sword threads crisscrossed, cutting into the Boundless Demon Realm, annihilating all matter, energy, and even spatial structures they touched, and directly attacking the Boundless Demon King's body.

But the next moment, a bizarre scene unfolded.

When the Great Annihilation Sword approached the Demon King of Infernal Affairs within a certain range, it seemed to sink into an invisible quagmire, and its speed of advancement suddenly slowed down.

To be precise, it's not that it's slowed down, but rather that the distance between us seems to be separated by an infinitely vast space and time, making it impossible to truly reach!
Even worse, some of the sword energy suddenly disappeared under the influence of the demonic realm and appeared out of thin air behind Gu Yuanqing, backfiring on him!

Gu Yuanqing's Celestial Realm rippled slightly, which he calmly neutralized. A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes; this was the first time he had encountered someone who could contend with him in the Dao of Space.

Even the Demon Lord Xuanyou, who fought against him in the past, could not compare with him in this aspect.

Gu Yuanqing snorted softly, and the Zhou Tian Star Array opened, the Yu Jie Wan Xiang Array was fully formed, and he slashed again with his fingers.

Controlling the myriad phenomena of calamity, the cycle of all paths continues!
The four swords combined into one, transforming into a chaotic torrent of destruction that struck directly at the Demon King of the Abyss!

"It's no use! Your sword can't touch me!" the Demon King of the Abyss said indifferently.

As he spoke, his body suddenly became illusory, as if he had entered another dimension.

This sword energy, powerful enough to severely injure a peak-level Undying Realm cultivator, passed straight through the body of the Infernal Demon King as if it were a phantom, without causing any damage!

Its demonic body seemed to transform into absolute "nothingness" at that moment, existing in the world, yet transcending the spatial concept of this world.

"Is this all you've got?" The Demon King of the Abyss's voice carried a hint of mockery.

With a flash, he traversed space, passed through the sword formation, and appeared directly beside Gu Yuanqing. He raised his hand to strike, preparing for close combat.

One of the reasons is that Gu Yuanqing's Taixu Dharma Robe blocked all demonic thoughts. Only by breaking through it can he better unleash the Heavenly Demon Techniques.

But before the palm strike could land, he suddenly swung it backward.

Because Gu Yuanqing, who was originally in front of him, had disappeared and appeared behind him.

Boom!

Amidst the roar, cracks appeared in layers in the void.

The shockwave rippled in all directions, instantly obliterating the clouds hundreds of miles above and revealing a chasm on the earth below.

Gu Yuanqing raised his hand and grabbed the Demon-Subduing Sword, engaging in a fierce battle with the Demon King of the Infernal Realm in the void.

The two figures kept flashing and intersecting in the void. If an ordinary person were watching from a distance, they would see as if countless figures had suddenly appeared.

The fierce battle raged on, sword light and demonic energy crisscrossing, turning the sky into a chaotic mess. Suddenly—

Boom! ! !

A deep, resounding boom came from the valley below!

The entire valley trembled violently, and rocks rolled down as if an angry earth dragon were stirring up the sea.

Even high in the sky, you can feel the terrifying energy emanating from the earth.

Gu Yuanqing's eyebrows suddenly rose. The situation below was definitely not just about besieging and killing the Great Hao cultivators. If that were the case, why would the Demon King of the Boundless have to substitute one thing for another and transform into the appearance of the Bone-Eating Demon to fight against him?

He tried to break free to investigate, but the Demon King of the Infernal Realm, with his exquisite spatial manipulation, tightly bound him and blocked his path.

"Impatient? Too bad, this path is blocked." The Demon King of the Abyss's voice was mocking.

Without further hesitation, Gu Yuanqing summoned his true form and used the Heavenly Fishing Technique. A vast and boundless surge of primordial energy crossed the endless void, and his true form's mind also focused on this clone.

"Om-!"

Gu Yuanqing's aura erupted like a volcano, rising steadily, as if he had instantly broken through the limits of the Chaotic Undying Realm.

Although his realm remained unchanged, his power underwent a tremendous transformation!
The Demon-Subduing Sword in his hand emitted a resounding clang.

"cut!"

There were no fancy moves, just a simple horizontal slash.

However, it uses the art of controlling objects to condense all the sword techniques of controlling calamities into this one sword.

A sword aura, condensed to its extreme, instantly traversed spatial distance and descended upon the Demon King of No Return!

This sudden elevation of power to another level completely exceeded the expectations and judgments of the Demon King of the Abyss!

Before the sword aura even arrived, an invisible force of confinement had already enveloped the surroundings, freezing the space around it and causing it to suddenly lose absolute control over the space around it.

The Demon King of the Abyss's expression changed slightly; this power had truly become a threat to it!
It frantically urged its demonic energy and shook its demonic thoughts, trying to break free from its restraints and unleash its ethereal technique, but before it could do so, the sword energy was already upon it!

Can't escape!
With a roar, it unleashed a torrent of demonic energy from its palms, and the surrounding power of heaven and earth converged to form a thick demonic shield, which withstood the sword strike head-on!
The sword energy collided with the demonic shield, but there was no earth-shattering explosion. With all the swords combined, the sword energy tore through the shield with an absolute power advantage, breaking through the spatial path that the demon had hastily used. The remaining sword energy slammed into the Demon King's crossed arms as he blocked!
"puff!"

Demon blood splattered in the air, and the Demon King of the Abyss let out a muffled groan. He flew backward like a meteor for hundreds of miles, crashing into a continuous mountain range behind him, stirring up clouds of dust.

Gu Yuanqing's figure flashed and he landed in the valley.

His divine sense surged into the earth like a tidal wave, tracing the cracks in the ground and locking onto a cave deep underground.

The space rippled slightly, and the next moment, he found himself inside a huge underground nest.

The massive skeletal body of the Bone-Eating Demon King stood in the center of the field, and on its shoulder stood a figure in a green robe, whose face and aura were exactly the same as his!
Not far away, Yan Beiming leaned on his long sword to support his body, which was on the verge of collapse. His body was covered with cracks, like a piece of porcelain about to shatter. The light of his soul had dimmed to the extreme and was rapidly dissipating.

When he saw Gu Yuanqing suddenly appear, his face was full of astonishment, but then his expression changed, and he understood.

"So that's how it is..." His body trembled slightly as he understood everything.

Actually, I should have thought of this beforehand, but with the battle against the Heavenly Demon, there was no time to think about it. The joy I felt at being able to send Mo Yan away by doing everything I could vanished in an instant.

At the same time, Gu Yuanqing sensed the remaining spatial fluctuations in this place, and looked at the "himself" again, and immediately understood.

He unleashed a palm strike, first blocking the sword energy that was intended to completely kill Yan Beiming, then raised his hand to seal Yan Beiming directly with spatial confinement, and his true form used the Heavenly Fishing Technique to pull him back to Beiquan Cave Heaven.

Just then, the figure of the Demon King of No End appeared on the shoulder of the Demon King of Bone Erosion, and chuckled, "It's no use. His essence, energy, and spirit have been burned out, and the foundation of his Great Dao has been destroyed. Unless it is a legendary Great Luo Golden Immortal who can reverse life and death and reshape reincarnation, no one can save him!"

As he spoke, "Gu Yuanqing," standing on the shoulder of the Bone-Eating Demon King, smiled slightly. His figure twisted and suddenly disintegrated, transforming into pure, surging demonic energy that flowed into the body of the Boundless Demon King like rivers flowing into the sea.

Gu Yuanqing remained calm as he looked at the Demon King of the Boundless Realm and said indifferently, "Is this all the trouble you've gone through? You don't really think such a clumsy scheme to sow discord can fool the Great Hao Divine Dynasty, do you?"

The Demon King of the Abyss laughed loudly: "Whether you can fool them or not, what does it matter? As long as this news gets back, there will always be people who believe it. Even if they don't believe it, just planting a seed of doubt is enough! Isn't this how all the suspicion, strife, and enmity among you humans begin? That's just how the human heart is!"

It looked at Gu Yuanqing with great interest, crossed its arms and said, "You haven't forgotten what we Heavenly Demons are best at, have you?"

Gu Yuanqing nodded slightly: "That's true."

But then he changed the subject, a faint smile playing on his lips: "However, what does all this have to do with me?"

"Oh?" The Demon King of the Abyss was slightly taken aback, not expecting him to react this way.

"I came here solely to hunt demons, and nothing more!"

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Yuanqing made another move!

This time, he held nothing back, directly unleashing the immense power that his true self had received from across realms. The battle just now made him realize that with the power of his clone alone, he might be able to contend with Wujian, but he definitely couldn't kill him!
hum!
Boundless sword energy instantly filled the entire underground cave. Each sword energy was condensed as if it were a substance, containing the true meaning of various laws such as earth, water, fire, wind, thunder, calamity, destruction, and emptiness. They were interconnected and formed their own sword world, completely enveloping the Bone-Eating Demon King and the Abyss Demon King!

The Demon King of the Infernal Realm changed his expression again. Gu Yuanqing was even more different now than before. He had thought that sword strike was the ultimate burst of power, but now it seemed that was not the case!
It let out a fierce roar and fully activated the Boundless Demon Realm, attempting to distort space and banish the power of the sword formation to infinity.

However, this time, its demonic domain had just unfolded when it was forcibly crushed and suppressed by an even grander intent of the return of all things to nothingness and the eternal stability of all realms within the sword formation!
It could sense that Gu Yuanqing's power level was still at the level of the Undying Chaos Realm, but the sum of his power was like a vast starry sea, giving it a feeling of facing the Demon Lord directly!

No, even worse than the Demon Lord!
Moreover, it seems that an invisible force is manipulating this power in a way that it cannot understand, causing the power, which has not undergone any qualitative change, to break through the shackles of the upper limit of the Chaotic Undying Realm, directly threatening its fundamental existence as a Heavenly Demon at the Void Immortal level!
"So that's how it is... No wonder the Demon Lord values ​​you so much, even forbidding me from killing you..." The Demon King of Boundless Worlds' eyes were filled with shock and a hint of greed. "If I were to devour you after you break through to the Void Immortal realm, the Dao essence and origin you would gain would far surpass all other resources! You yourself are an unparalleled creation!"

At this moment, he suddenly wanted to devour Gu Yuanqing at all costs, but in the end he gave up. He let out a sharp shriek, the space around his body trembled, countless spatial rifts appeared, and his body disappeared into the void.

However, Gu Yuanqing forcibly shattered the space around him, forcing him out.

His figure suddenly dispersed, transforming into countless clones that fled in all directions. Each clone was slain, and endless sword energy converged, heading straight for his true form.

The Demon King of the Abyss turned around and roared, "You're courting death!"
