The Weird Way of Immortality: My Taoism Progress in One Day a Year

Li Yan traveled along the way and soon arrived at the Demon Refining Crimson Domain in the outer battlefield.

The space here has already been corrupted by the power of the abyss.

Once a cultivator enters, they will be affected by the power of the abyss, and the range that their divine sense can explore will suddenly shrink.

Furthermore, in order to resist the erosion of the abyss's power, it is necessary to constantly activate the power of the laws to protect itself, which greatly increases the consumption.

However, in such an environment, the combat power of abyssal monsters will be greatly enhanced.

With this shift in power, cultivators would have to expend more energy to deal with the abyssal demons in this demonic realm.

Therefore, even an immortal emperor would not stay in such a place for too long.

Li Yan was no exception.

After entering the Crimson Demon Refining Domain, he activated the laws of the world to protect himself.

They then began to exterminate the demons in this area.

As a stronghold occupied by the True Lord of Demon Refining, and a fortified base for demons from the Abyss Realm in the outer battlefield, the demons in the Crimson Domain of Demon Refining are of extremely high strength.

There are over a hundred abyssal monsters at the thirteenth rank.

Moreover, some of them are formidable monsters comparable to those at the later stages of the thirteenth rank.

With such a large number of demons, generally speaking, one would only dare to enter this place if accompanied by at least a top-tier cultivator at the thirteenth level.

However, Li Yan now possesses the strength of a half-saint, so naturally he is both skilled and daring.

He was not afraid at all and came to this place alone.

In fact, with his current strength, as long as he doesn't rashly go to the top battlefields in the outer domain and encounter abyssal monsters comparable to the fourteenth rank, he will not be in danger.

The top-tier battlefield is the home ground of the Immortal Saints, where not only the Immortal Saints of the human race, but also the Immortal Saints of other forces are located.

This naturally includes the Immortal Saints of the Blood Alliance of Myriad Races.

This is why the Celestial Saint was worried that Li Yan might encounter danger on the battlefield outside the domain.

"Now I would like to attract the Immortal Saint of the Blood Alliance of Myriad Races."

A cold glint flashed in Li Yan's eyes.

He joined the human race and opened up the Realm of Truth, which has brought him into the sight of the top experts in the Boundary Sea.

That's why I want to exchange for enough Origin Ancestor-level inheritance as soon as possible.

To exchange for a Source Ancestor-level inheritance, an extremely large amount of merit points are required.

Only top-tier powerhouses among the Immortal Saints, like the Heavenly Sound Saint, can possess sufficient merit.

This is especially true for the three ancestral inheritances that belong exclusively to the human race.

"My speed in reaching the fourteenth level will surely exceed many people's imagination."

"By then, even if I don't want to reveal my talent, it will be impossible."

Li Yan did not want to delay his advancement to the fourteenth rank for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years just to avoid revealing his talent.

Doing that would be like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Who knows what other changes might occur over such a long period of time?

What if his talent fails? What if the Immortal Ancestor discovers it?
Therefore, it is almost inevitable that his talent will be exposed at that time.

"Of course I can find an excuse, saying that it was by chance that I was able to break through, but I definitely can't hide it for long."

"Then it is highly likely to attract the attention of the Immortal Ancestor."

"Such a powerful individual is already at the pinnacle of cultivation, and their strength is limitless."

"Even if I reach the pinnacle of the Immortal Saint realm, I might not be a match for a powerhouse of this rank."

Li Yan was very clear about this.

"Therefore, if I want to avoid the spying of the Immortal Ancestor, I must exchange for the Ancestor-level inheritance shortly after entering the Immortal Saint realm and hide in a secluded place where no one cares about me to cultivate in peace."

Thinking of this, Li Yan sighed.

The higher one's strength, the more difficult it is to conceal one's talent.

That's why Li Yan was so eager to exchange for the Realm God Scripture.

In this way, once he reaches the fourteenth level of these two laws, Li Yan, who has mastered two superior fourteenth-level laws, will inevitably become an immortal saint-level supreme powerhouse.

At that time, he will not need to exert too much effort to gain merit.

He now wants to lure out the Immortal Saints from the Blood Alliance of Myriad Races, but he cannot proactively expose himself on the battlefield outside the domain.

Otherwise, the Immortal Saint might think that the human Immortal Saint was using Li Yan as bait to fish.

"Once I make a name for myself in the extraterrestrial battlefield, it will naturally reach the ears of the Immortal Saints of the Myriad Races Blood Alliance."

"Then they will know that I have come to the battlefield outside the domain, and it is unlikely that it will arouse their suspicion and thus prevent them from coming to find me."

Having made his plans, Li Yan immediately began a massacre in the Crimson Demon Refining Domain.

With the supreme treasure, the Mo Yuan Sword, in hand, Li Yan's avatar is now terrifyingly powerful.

The abyssal demons in the Crimson Demon Realm were utterly no match for him.

Once they encountered him, they were instantly killed in the blink of an eye.

In just a few decades, he killed most of the hundreds of thirteenth-order demons in this Demon Refining Crimson Domain.

Within the Crimson Demon Refining Domain, the area covered by the power of the abyss also shrank significantly.

During this period, Li Yan and the newly forged Mo Yuan Sword went through a period of adjustment, and he had regained full control of it, greatly enhancing its power.

In addition, he has not forgotten to cultivate the Formless Sword Manual, and his sword dao law has already stepped into the middle stage of the thirteenth level.

Their current strength has reached an extremely terrifying level.

If even if the Immortal Saint stood still, his sword strike would only inflict minor injuries on him.

If a single sword strike were to hit an Immortal Saint with its power undiminished, it would already have a chance to severely injure him.

Below the level of Immortal Emperor, even if he encounters a Half-Saint who also possesses a supreme treasure, he is confident that he can strike and put them into a deep sleep.

However, staying in the Crimson Demon Realm for such a long time, constantly resisting the erosion of the abyss's power, was also a considerable burden for him.

"Nowadays, the abyssal demons of the Crimson Demon Refining Domain are hiding everywhere. If I want to continue searching, it will take much more effort."

"It would be best to take a break for now."

With a thought in his mind, Li Yan made up his mind to temporarily leave the Demon Refining Crimson Domain, rest for two years, and then come back to wipe out the demons in the Demon Refining Crimson Domain.

So he headed straight for the exit of the Demon Refining Crimson Domain.

But several months later...

Just as he was about to leave the Crimson Demon Realm.

Suddenly, Li Yan sensed a powerful aura of abyssal demons appearing from all directions.

With a sweep of his divine sense, he immediately discovered that there were fifty-eight abyssal demons surrounding him.

These extremely ugly abyssal demons, exuding a dense abyssal power, actually came knocking on his door just as he was about to leave the Crimson Demon Refining Domain for a temporary rest.

Furthermore, Li Yan vaguely sensed that behind these abyssal demons, there was an even more powerful aura hiding.

"True Venerable Demon Refiner!"

Li Yan's gaze sharpened slightly.

The True Venerable of Demon Refining is the core of the Crimson Domain of Demon Refining. Once he dies, the Crimson Domain of Demon Refining will collapse without a fight.

However, this monster seems to have become much more wary after it was almost killed by a human demigod last time.

Li Yan had previously roamed freely in the Crimson Demon Refining Domain, wantonly slaughtering abyssal demons, yet he had not been provoked to make a move.

Only now that he intends to leave to rest and recuperate did he lead so many thirteenth-tier demons here, intending to ambush and kill him. "Very well, this way, it saves me the trouble of searching."

Li Yan raised an eyebrow, and the Mo Yuan Sword flew out of his body. Without the slightest hesitation, he slashed at the surrounding abyssal demons.

These abyssal demons aim to ultimately devour the Origin World of the Realm Sea.

This could even destroy the Great Dao of the Boundary Sea, which is a natural opposite of cultivators.

The two cannot coexist; the only outcome is that one is destroyed and the other survives.

If it weren't for the fact that there are also powerful beings comparable to the Origin Ancestor in the Abyss Realm, it would be extremely dangerous.

The immortal ancestors in the four realms of the sea had long ago joined forces to completely annihilate the Abyss Realm.

With a single sword strike from Li Yan, seven or eight abyssal demons perished on the spot.

This was the result of his deliberate restraint.

Since the Demon Refining True Venerable was still observing the situation from the rear, he naturally couldn't appear too powerful, lest he scare him away.

He simply maintained his strength at a level close to the fourteenth rank, just before he was about to condense a holy seal.

With such strength, one can not only deal with the threat of these abyssal demons in front of them, but also attract the Demon Refining True Venerable.

His expression was extremely solemn as he swung his sword to slay the abyssal demons while quickly heading towards the exit of the Demon Refining Crimson Domain.

At the same time, his aura began to weaken as he made his moves.

In the end, it seemed that all their strength had been exhausted.

He couldn't even kill a late-stage 13th-tier abyssal demon with a single sword strike.

However, it seems that his attempt to lure the enemy has been seen through by the True Venerable of Demon Refining, and he has not yet revealed his true form.

Li Yan didn't force the issue. In the end, he even pretended to be too exhausted to fight anymore and fled towards the exit of the Demon Refining Crimson Domain.

At this point, of the fifty-eight 13th-tier abyssal demons, only five, comparable to the late 13th-tier level, remained, relentlessly pursuing Li Yan.

Even though Li Yan had already reached the vicinity of the exit, the Demon Refining True Venerable still hadn't shown up.

"It seems I'll have to go see the Demon Refining True Venerable another time."

Li Yan sighed inwardly. The Demon Refining True Venerable was hiding and wouldn't come out. Even if he chased after him now, he wouldn't be able to catch up.

On the contrary, it will expose one's true strength, making the Demon Refining True Venerable more vigilant.

So he stopped thinking about the plan to lure the enemy and flew directly toward the exit, intending to rest for two years before entering again to find the True Lord of Demon Refining.

But just as he was about to step out of the Crimson Demon Realm.

suddenly.

The Crimson Demon Realm before him suddenly changed.

From nothingness at the beginning, it transformed into a crimson color.

The pressure from the abyss around him was several times stronger than before.

Furthermore, the original exit had disappeared, and he had fallen into another realm.

"Finally took action!"

Li Yan's heart immediately stirred; he understood that this was the Demon Refining True Venerable's irresistible urge to attack him.

He slew so many abyssal monsters this time, even though the abyssal monsters could be replenished in an endless stream.

It won't be long before the abyssal demons in the Crimson Demon Realm replenish their numbers.

However, the current area of ​​the Demon Refining Crimson Domain has shrunk to one percent of its original size.

How could they possibly let this go?

Even if it were just to give an explanation to the high-level abyssal demons behind him, he couldn't possibly let Li Yan leave so easily.

After all, Li Yan's demonstrated strength was not invincible.

"die!"

A frenzied roar came toward Li Yan, who felt himself being bound by a force, causing his escape speed to drop sharply.

Then a giant claw, seemingly capable of tearing the sky apart, suddenly attacked Li Yan.

The giant claw was crimson red, and in the crimson demonic realm, it encountered no resistance, tore through the void, and arrived in front of Li Yan in an instant.

"Well done!"

A cold look appeared in Li Yan's eyes; he had already sensed the true location of the Demon Refining True Venerable.

He had endured for so long; this was the moment he had been waiting for!
"Formless in an instant!"

Li Yan's aura suddenly surged, and the dark sword light seemed to cleave the entire Crimson Demon Realm in two.

The remaining five abyssal demons were crushed to death by the powerful laws contained within the sword light before they even touched it.

The dark sword light continued its undiminished momentum, slashing directly at the true form of the Demon Refining True Venerable in the distance.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Demon Refining True Venerable tried to use defensive measures but quickly fled.

However, Li Yan's Instant Formlessness completely ignored all of the Demon Refining True Venerable's defenses and directly pierced into his body.

boom!
The body of the Demon Refining True Venerable suddenly exploded, and then a red crystal emerged directly from the exploded body, before fleeing into the distance at an extremely fast speed.

The red crystal was incredibly fast; it disappeared as soon as it appeared. Li Yan felt that it was at least ten thousand times faster than his flying speed!
But in the next instant, the dark sword light seemed to transcend time.

At the site where the Demon Refining True Venerable perished, the red crystal was shattered directly.

It looked as if the red crystal had fled at high speed and then returned to its original point, only to be struck by the dark sword light again and completely vanished into nothingness.

The abyssal power of the Crimson Demon Refining Domain retreated rapidly like a tide.

Li Yan was also quite surprised when he saw this scene.

"The Law of Time truly lives up to its reputation as a supreme law; it is indeed profound!"

Li Yan sighed inwardly.

Although he already knew about the sword technique of "Moment Without Form," he was able to connect with the laws of time and unleash a trace of the mysteries of the laws of time.

But seeing this scene, I was still shocked by the power of this move.

His sword light struck the red crystal a split second ago, so even though the red crystal had already fled far away, it was still shattered by Li Yan's sword light at the place where the Demon Refining True Venerable fell.

"Now that the Demon Refining True Venerable has completely perished and the Demon Refining Crimson Domain has been destroyed, the news should spread soon."

Most abyssal monsters can directly reach the thirteenth rank by being infused with abyssal power.

Therefore, even though Li Yan killed many 13th-tier abyssal demons at the beginning, it did not attract the attention of the Demon Refining True Venerable.

Because after these abyssal monsters perish, they will transform back into abyssal power and return to the abyssal realm.

High-level monsters in the abyss can quickly create new 13th-tier monsters by simply infusing the power of the abyss directly into low-level monsters in the abyss realm.

However, a demon of the rank of True Demon Refiner has already exceeded the scope of mass-produced demons.

They may even be promoted to the fourteenth rank.

These are no longer cannon fodder monsters, but the true main force of the Abyss Realm on the outer battlefield.

Once the body perishes, it will be impossible to cultivate a monster of the same rank in a short period of time.

Therefore, Li Yan killed him and destroyed the Crimson Demon Realm, thus completely pacifying this demonic region.

Even if new demons emerge in the future and establish demonic domains in the outer battlefields, there will never be another existence like the Crimson Demon Refining Domain.

Li Yan explored carefully but found nothing left behind. Without lingering, he fled into the distance.
