I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 848 Suppressing the Void Immortal and Heavenly Demon
This is the world of cultivators. At Gu Yuanqing's level, quantity is completely useless.

Without a cultivator of equal level to restrain it, and without a well-formed array to defend it, it would be nothing short of a one-sided massacre.

Of course, an ordinary Void Immortal would not be able to achieve this level, but Gu Yuanqing's understanding of the Great Dao and the power of the Celestial World allowed him to possess the combat strength of a Void Immortal even as a clone when he was still alive. After becoming a Void Immortal, his supernatural abilities reached an unbelievable level.

Li Miaoxuan wielded the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine and fought against this undead, chaotic demon.

Compared to a few days ago, her strength has improved again. The power of the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine is even more evident, and the Nine Tribulations of the Great Void Scripture is also a top-tier cultivation technique. Her foundation is solid and perfect. Regardless of her movement techniques, supernatural abilities, the strength of her true essence, or her comprehension of the Great Dao, she is stronger than ordinary Chaotic Undying cultivators. Even compared to Gu Yuanqing, who does not rely on the power of the cave heaven, she is not much inferior. In addition, with this Void Immortal artifact, Gu Yuanqing does not even doubt that she has the power to fight even if she encounters a Void Immortal.

In just a short while, Li Miaoxuan had firmly taken control of the situation, and even killed two Heavenly Demons at the Shattering Heaven level in the midst of the fierce battle.

Enraged, the Great Demon of Chaos charged left and right, but found it impossible to escape.

Although it was fast, it couldn't outrun Li Miaoxuan, and was already covered in wounds under the flash of the blade.

Even though it was already an immortal being, it could not heal the wound left by the Dragon Slayer. The blade energy clung to the wound like a bone-deep sore, and black and red demonic blood dripped down continuously, emitting black smoke and hissing as it hit the ground.

A moment later, the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine transformed into its true form. A phantom of a celestial demon god seized the celestial demon, pressed it under the guillotine blade, and with a single stroke, vanished into nothingness.

The Chaotic Primordial Flame burned fiercely, spreading for thousands of miles, turning the entire world into a sea of ​​fire.

Yet, despite the intense flames, some cultivators within the Chaotic Flame remained unharmed, and even ordinary plants were undamaged. Only demonic energy and thoughts turned into smoke within the flames.

This control over power was so exquisite that it amazed the guardian cultivators.

As the demonic energy dissipated, the Chaotic Flame, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, entered Gu Yuanqing's palm, and the world was cleansed.

The entire battlefield fell silent instantly.

Gu Yuanqing took a step forward and stood in front of Li Miaoxuan.

Suppressing his shock, General Shen Tingxu, who was guarding the town, took a step forward and came into mid-air. He solemnly clasped his hands and bowed to Gu Yuanqing and the white-clad woman standing silently behind him, and said in a deep voice, "I am Shen Tingxu. On behalf of the entire Yannan Town, I thank you two for your help!"

Gu Yuanqing said calmly, "No need for formalities. As fellow human beings, it is only right to lend a helping hand."

Shen Tingxu was also an immortal cultivator who had cultivated for thousands of years and was quite knowledgeable. He knew all the Void Immortals in the Nine Domains Divine Continent, but he had no recollection of the person before him. He respectfully asked, "May I ask your honorable title, Brother Wen?"

"Gu Yuanqing," Gu Yuanqing said with a slight smile.

Gu Yuanqing?
A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Tingxu's eyes: "So it's Brother Gu! I've been rude. And who is this fairy...?"

The reason for his surprise was that he had heard of Gu Yuanqing's name before, and had even heard a few days ago that he was in the Nine Heavens Domain.

The Nine Heavens Domain is nearly a billion miles away from this place. Unless a teleportation array between realms is used, it would take several months for a Void Immortal cultivator to travel through the Demon Land at full speed.

“My Daoist partner is Li Miaoxuan,” Gu Yuanqing said.

"Greetings, Fairy Li. Thank you for your help." Shen Tingxu clasped his hands in greeting again.

Li Miaoxuan cupped her hands and said, "General Shen, there's no need to be so polite."

Shen Tingxu stepped aside and invited him, saying, "Brother Dao, I have no way to repay your great kindness. This place is simple, but please move into the city to rest for a while. I will prepare some wine and tea for you, firstly to express my gratitude, and secondly... so that the soldiers can witness your demeanor."

"I appreciate General Shen's kindness." Gu Yuanqing shook his head and smiled, "The matter here is temporarily settled. I also have other important matters to attend to. Moreover, this great battle has resulted in considerable casualties, and your military affairs also need to be reorganized. So I won't bother you any longer."

Shen Tingxu was about to speak.

suddenly……

“Ouch——!!!”

A deep, enormous roar suddenly exploded from the distant sky!

As the sound waves passed, the space trembled, and the laws of the Great Dao subtly rippled.

Upon hearing this, a sense of fear inexplicably arose in everyone's hearts, followed by a rumbling in their stomachs and a feeling of hunger.

Shen Tingxu's expression instantly turned extremely solemn, his pupils contracted to pinpoints, and he looked up.

At the edge of the sky, the remaining demonic clouds swirled wildly, transforming into a bottomless, slowly rotating dark vortex. A demonic aura of the illusory immortal level, carrying the meaning of decaying all things and devouring the heavens and the earth, swept over like an apocalyptic tsunami!

Shen Tingxu stared intently at the core of the dark vortex, as if facing a formidable enemy, and said in a deep voice, "It's the Gluttonous Demon King, that beast under the command of the Giant Demon Lord! It has actually come in person!"

The generals behind him and the city walls instantly went into battle alert, and everyone's expression changed slightly.

With a powerful demon at the level of a celestial being personally present, this is no ordinary battle of offense and defense!

When Gu Yuanqing saw the demonic figure in the distance, he was slightly taken aback at first, and then a look of delighted anticipation appeared in his eyes.

He laughed loudly, "Hahaha! Wonderful! It's truly like searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly! I've been looking for so long without finding it, and it just delivered itself to my door."

Li Miaoxuan smiled slightly.

"General Shen, this beast is now in my care."

As they spoke, Gu Yuanqing and Li Miaoxuan rode their escape light toward the direction of the Gluttonous Demon King.

Shen Tingxu, who remained where he was, was taken aback for a moment. He took a few steps and hurriedly said, "Brother Gu, please be careful. This Taotie Demon King is extremely powerful. All kinds of magic will be devoured by him. He once fought against Lord Li of the Tian Shu Mansion of our Great Hao Divine Dynasty and was not defeated."

Gu Yuanqing waved his hand and smiled, "Thank you for the reminder, but it's alright."

A general from the city flew to Shen Tingxu's side: "General, who is this Senior Gu? He just annihilated billions of demons in an instant, and now he is so calm and composed when facing the Void Immortal Demon King?"

Shen Tingxu gazed into the distance and said, "A master from another world. It is said that when Hun Tian was still alive, he was able to fight against the avatar of the Xuan You Demon Lord without being defeated. Now, his cultivation has even broken through to the Void Immortal realm."

"Can the Undying Chaos fight against the Demon Lord's clone?" The general's eyes widened.

Shen Tingxu nodded slightly, then turned around and said in a deep voice, "Pass down the order to prepare for battle with all our might. If Brother Gu can defeat this Gluttonous Demon King, that's fine. But if he can't, we'll be in big trouble."

……

After a while.

Gu Yuanqing and Li Miaoxuan then arrived at a place a thousand miles away from the Gluttonous Demon King.

Li Miaoxuan frowned slightly, a hint of disgust appearing in her eyes.

The demon floated in the air, resembling a mountain of flesh made of dark red blood and pale white bones, over a hundred feet tall.

Upon closer inspection, it was not simply flesh and blood, but rather a dense mass of countless twisted, opening and closing human faces, animal mouths, and indescribable cavities.

Every mouth was roaring silently, flowing with murky yellow saliva that corroded the spiritual light.

At the center of the mountain of flesh was a gigantic mouth, which opened and closed, but no tongue or teeth were visible inside; only a swirling vortex of darkness.

It was surrounded by foul and demonic energy. Wherever it passed, spiritual energy seemed to be swallowed up, trees withered, metals and stones rotted, and the space itself seemed to show corroded wrinkles.

"I'll go first!" Gu Yuanqing chuckled and stepped forward.

In the blink of an eye, "Buzz—!"

A grand and clear sword cry suddenly rang out between heaven and earth!

Centered on Gu Yuanqing, countless sword energies arose out of thin air within a radius of thousands of miles. The Myriad Phenomena Sword Formation of Calamity Control silently unfolded, forming its own domain and enveloping the Gluttonous Demon King within it.

Demonic energy and sword light intertwined and dissolved each other. Occasionally, the sword energy would break through the demonic light and land on the body, only to disappear into it.

The sword formation was fully deployed.

The Sword of Returning to the Beginning of All Laws was activated first, its clear sword light like the first creation of the Great Dao, enveloping all directions. Wherever it passed, demonic energy retreated, aiming to change the world and suppress the demonic energy.

Gu Yuanqing was not a person of this world, and could not deeply resonate with or utilize the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. However, he had become a virtuous immortal, unlike before when he was suppressed by the Heavenly Demon.

The Gluttonous Demon King roared, its giant mouth opened wide, and the vortex surged, swallowing countless sword lights containing the true meaning of subduing demons.

The sword light disappeared into the whirlpool, like a mud ox entering the sea.

Gu Yuanqing raised an eyebrow slightly: "You do have some skill! No wonder you dare to call yourself Taotie, but..."

The Demon King's eyes flashed with a fierce light, but Gu Yuanqing made a sword gesture. The swallowed sword light was not digested, but instead manifested inside the vortex, turning into thousands of tiny sword beams that exploded from the inside out!

Gu Yuanqing is proficient in the Dao of Space, and his divine sense and will are different from those of other Void Immortals. Even if one is devoured by him, it is difficult to isolate him.

"Roar!" The Gluttonous Demon King was in pain, his demonic body trembled violently, countless cavities shattered, and foul blood light suddenly spewed out from his body, surging towards Gu Yuanqing like a tide.

This blood-red light contains the power of extreme decay. Ordinary magical treasures will be tainted and lose their spiritual light upon contact with it. It can even corrode sword intent. This blood-red light is originally the power of a Void Immortal, containing demonic thoughts that can wear down the will of others.

Gu Yuanqing's expression remained unchanged, but his thoughts stirred slightly.

As the sword formation shifted, the eternal stability of all realms was restored. As the sword rose, the surrounding space folded and reinforced layer by layer, forming countless crystal-clear spatial mirror walls.

The filthy, bloody light crashed into the mirror wall, where it was weakened and guided layer by layer by the power of spatial folding. In the end, it was rolled back and clung to the demonic body with a hissing sound, adding more wounds to its demonic body.

The Gluttonous Demon King went berserk, his demonic thoughts locking onto Gu Yuanqing, and he used the Heart-Eating Demon Curse to attack Gu Yuanqing's sea of ​​consciousness.

This is its innate supernatural power, specializing in attacking the mind and stirring up inner demons. Countless evil thoughts and illusions of greed, gluttony, and emptiness instantly arise, attempting to corrupt the Dao heart.

Gu Yuanqing remained calm as his Taixu Ruyi Immortal Robe shone brightly, blocking out most of the demonic thoughts.

He activated the Free and Unfettered Sword Heart Sword, its sword intent shining inward, his heart as clear as a mirror, reflecting countless demonic thoughts.

The illusory image of the Thirty-Three-Story Demon-Refining and Immortal-Ascending Tower appeared, suppressing all demonic thoughts within it and refining them into its own resources.

A bright mirror hung high on the top of the tower, but Gu Yuanqing saw through the flaws in the source of its demonic thoughts.

Gu Yuanqing pointed his fingers like a sword, and from a distance, an invisible heart sword traced back and pierced the core of the Demon King's original demonic thoughts!

"Ow—!"

The Gluttonous Demon King was struck as if by a heavy blow, letting out a shrill howl of pain. Countless human faces on his demonic body twisted at the same time, and his aura suddenly became chaotic.

It finally realized how terrifying its opponent was, and suffered a hidden loss even after only exchanging a few blows.

The Heavenly Demon was cautious and cunning by nature. Seeing Gu Yuanqing's strength, he began to consider retreating.

Its demonic body suddenly contracted, transforming into a dark red streak of light, and it was about to use its most proficient escape technique to break through the sword formation and flee.

"Trying to leave now? Too late."

Gu Yuanqing shook his head; the true power of the sword formation was only now being revealed.

As the aura surged, the physical body resonated with countless worlds, and a near-real world of heaven and man appeared within its descent palace. The imprint of the spatial laws manifested, shining brightly and blessing the eternally solid sword of all realms.

In an instant, the thousand-mile space seemed to be temporarily separated from the greater world, transforming into an incomparably solid spatial amber, with its internal spatial structure locked in layers, cutting off all escape methods.

The blood-red light transformed from the Gluttonous Demon King charged left and right, crashing into the invisible spatial barrier, only stirring up ripples.

Countless sword threads coiled upwards, constantly intertwining, transforming into a large net that trapped it in the center.

Gu Yuanqing's sword energy, guided by the bright mirror on the Demon Refining and Immortal Ascension Tower, has been constantly adjusting and changing. Initially, it dissolved with the foul and demonic energy on his body, but now it has gradually become immune to it.

This is the advantage of his mastery of all arts; no matter how his opponent changes, he can always find a way to resist or restrain them.

The sword light began to carry the aura of thunderous calamity, which continuously eroded its power.

The space for the Gluttonous Demon King to move around became smaller and smaller. Finally, with a sharp and shrill roar, the enormous mountain of flesh charged towards Gu Yuanqing again.

However, how could his speed match that of Gu Yuanqing?
Gu Yuanqing walked leisurely and casually, arriving behind him.

The sword intent of the Great Annihilation Calamity emerged, and the Daoist rhyme of the Myriad Paths Returning to Nothingness suddenly rose on the originally wrapped sword threads, and the sword threads turned into a platinum color, intersecting and dividing.

This enormous mountain of flesh instantly split into countless fragments, but the next second, these fragments quickly reassembled and restored themselves.

It was clear that its power had weakened considerably; the sword threads from before had not only severed its demonic body but also struck its very essence of demonic thought.

The Gluttonous Demon King became terrified. The loss of its original demonic power meant that the enemy had the power to annihilate it.

It frantically urged its own power, even starting to burn its own essence, to attack the sword formation in an attempt to escape. However, under the cover of the sword formation, it could not move an inch and struggled in vain.

Its power gradually diminishes through constant wear and tear.

The Chaotic Flame reignited, engulfing it in raging flames. Under its shadow, its body shrank continuously, and its resistance grew weaker and weaker.

Having achieved the status of a Void Immortal, Gu Yuanqing appeared calm and composed as he battled the Void Immortal level Heavenly Demon.

On the distant border wall, Shen Tingxu gazed into the distance, but could only see a flash of sword light, unable to discern anything more.

However, he gradually calmed down. As long as the sword light did not break, it meant that Gu Yuanqing had not been at a disadvantage.

A stick of incense passed.

This illusory immortal demon has been trapped for more than ten miles, and its strength has been reduced to less than half of its original strength.

Gu Yuanqing suddenly turned around and said, "Miaoxuan, do you think you can kill it with your Dragon-Slaying Guillotine?"

Li Miaoxuan shook her head and said, "I killed all the Chaotic Undying Demons these past few days, while you didn't gain anything. Given my current situation, after killing this Void Immortal Demon, I'll have to go back to seclusion. You should refine it. I'll kill some Chaotic Undying Demons, that's enough. Anyway... there seem to be many more here."

Gu Yuanqing nodded without saying anything more, communicating with the original being in his mind.

The next moment, a fair hand reached out from the void and clenched its fist. The power of the cave heaven was added to the sword formation, and the spatial confinement formed by the original Myriad Manifestations Sword Formation of Tribulation instantly shrank. No matter how the Taotie Demon King roared and unleashed his power, it was useless. In just a few breaths, the space of dozens of miles was compressed into the size of a palm and fell into its palm.

The hand retracted, the space closed, leaving no trace!
