Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 885 Today I break free from my shackles and roam freely, one step to the clouds, one step to the heavens!

"Boom!"

At the very moment when the body of True Lord Chengtian Zhengde shattered, the stars above the sky, known as "Earth on the Wall," shone brightly, and at the same time, a light rain of blood began to fall between heaven and earth.

However, the next second, the expression of the True Lord Gangxing Pudao changed slightly, because after the death of the dignified True Lord, no golden soul appeared. There was only a gust of yin wind blowing, invisible and intangible, which merged into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the blink of an eye, swirling up the smoke and clouds and rushing in all directions.

"Qiang Qiang."

Almost simultaneously, the True Lord of Gangxing Preaching drew his sword. Although he did not improve his rank, the sword light was dazzling and spread out like a wildfire.

The scattered eerie winds were mostly extinguished in an instant.

Subsequently, the other two True Monarchs of Sword Pavilion also joined forces to frantically annihilate the Yin Wind transformed from the Heart Demon, but unfortunately, their cultivation levels were considerably weaker.

In the end, a few stray gusts of wind managed to escape and save lives.

Although their numbers are much fewer than when they were first born, for the inner demons, as long as even one clone escapes, recovery is only a matter of time.

"How could this happen?"

Upon seeing this, the True Lord Gangxing Preacher finally realized something was wrong: "After being killed by this inner demon, he couldn't even leave behind his golden soul."

How could such a ferocious creature exist in this world?

His expression was extremely ugly, with a hint of regret. However, what was done was done, and there was nothing he could do, because the inner demon had already escaped.

This escape was like a fish entering the sea or a bird soaring into the sky.

From then on, the world was their oyster.

At the same time, in a dense forest in Jiangbei, Chongguang also sensed something and suddenly opened his eyes, a look of intense joy appearing in them.

"Success!"

At that moment, all he wanted to do was burst into laughter.

In his perception, the being that had devoured his inner demon had swelled to an unimaginable extent and was hurtling toward him!

'This is an attempt to kill me, to completely seize ownership of the Five Divine Powers of the Inner Demon. This sense of impending doom... If nothing unexpected happens, it has already devoured the True Lord Chengtian Zhengde, but it's not yet complete, so its rank is probably at the level of an Outer Path True Lord? In any case, it's utterly overwhelming for me.'

Thinking of this, Chongguang's expression became even more resolute.

On the other side, Lu Yang, who was above the [Sea of ​​Bitterness], also saw this scene, and his expression became more solemn than ever before: "Uncle-Master, what do you plan to do?"

He won't make a move.

Since Chongguang is a being of inner demons, if he were to make a move, the only option would be to use [Divine Thunder] to directly annihilate the inner demon that he had painstakingly nurtured.

"You can only rely on yourself now, Uncle-Master Chongguang."

'If you succeed, I'll be naturally delighted; if you fail, don't blame me for reaping the benefits and taking this inner demon into my possession.'

As Lü Yang pondered this, he focused his gaze on Chong Guang. He saw that although Chong Guang was on high alert, he showed no sign of panic. He seemed to have a plan in mind and had already vaguely grasped the ghost mask shrouded in purplish-black smoke in his palm, which surprised Lü Yang.

"Hmm, it's him?"

Who is Lü Yang? Back when he was just reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, he dared to challenge the World Honored One. He usually loves taking risks and trying to win big with small investments. He is very familiar with this kind of strategy.

Therefore, he quickly realized what was happening.

"I see!"

The next second, he clapped his hands and laughed: "As expected of my martial uncle! He still has some immortal luck after all. In this way, this matter is accomplished!"

Jiangbei.

Chonglan sat cross-legged, adjusting his energy and spirit to their peak state, concentrating all his perfected Foundation Establishment metal element around his soul.

Although not as potent as the True Lord's Golden Nature, it still possessed some power to resist inner demons. At this moment, he had completely drawn it away. Not only that, he was also frantically extracting new Golden Nature from his soul and replenishing it to the surrounding area, transforming it into a golden barrier to protect his soul.

Doing this is extremely risky.

Because more metal element is not necessarily better; in fact, the more metal element one has, the more easily one is influenced by it, loses one's emotions and desires, and is ultimately melted away by it.

Therefore, balancing the amount of metal element is also a foundation for perfect cultivation.

However, at this moment, Chongguang completely gave up control over the metal element, allowing himself to be eroded, all in order to obtain more metal element protection for his soul.

Suddenly——

"Wow."

Chongguang, who had been largely corrupted by the metal element and had almost lost all his emotions, suddenly jolted awake as if from a dream, and all his emotions were revived.

This was a sign that all the gold he had painstakingly cultivated had been easily broken through. After all, the best way for a demon to invade is through the seven emotions and six desires. His sudden return to consciousness was undoubtedly due to the invasion of the demon. The demon had arrived silently and was about to devour him whole!

This is the True Lord's inner demon.

Even if one is only at the level of a heretical True Monarch, with the cultivation of a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator, protecting the soul at all costs can only bring a moment of clarity.

But—that's enough!
"Well done!"

Chongguang's eyes were icy cold. The scene before him was exactly what he had expected. The instant he awoke, he had already crushed the purplish-black demon mask in his hand. [Inverted Sumeru]!
Almost simultaneously, the Demon Subduing True Man, who had just returned to the Sword Pavilion, was suddenly stunned. Then everything went black before his eyes, and his once clear consciousness plummeted rapidly into the abyss.

The next second, the roar of the True Lord of the Righteous Formation Preaching came from the Sword Pavilion.

"court death!!!"

It's one thing if Cheng Tian Zhengde Zhenjun dies; he wouldn't really care. But Fu Yao Zhenren is different; he absolutely cannot allow [Sword Edge Gold] to have any problems.

This is why Chongguang felt there was still suspense, while Lüyang believed that the matter was settled. Ultimately, it was the difference in perspective brought about by their different levels of cultivation. In Chongguang's view, the Demon Subduing True Man was just an outstanding disciple of the Sword Pavilion, but Lüyang knew that [Sword Edge Gold] was related to Lao Gang's path to enlightenment.

When Jianfeng Jin is in trouble, how could he not lend a hand?

In an instant, the status of the True Lord of the Right Form Preaching soared dramatically, breaking through the level of the Great True Lord in a flash. Immediately afterwards, he slashed out with his sword, which entered the sea of ​​consciousness of the Demon Subduing True Man. Under the strong pressure of his status, all his inner demon techniques became ineffective, and Chongguang's [Inverted Sumeru] was shattered in an instant.

Or even more than that.

The restored True Monarch Gangxing, who had regained his cultivation, was completely different from before. This sword strike, following the connection between cause and effect, actually slashed towards Chongguang from afar!
However—this is the sword that Chongguang has been waiting for!
At this moment, only a sliver of light remained in Chongguang's soul, and his true self was in a daze, about to be completely extinguished in the next instant.

However, the sword light had already arrived.

The Great True Lord's sword strike, though mostly used to sever the [Inverted Sumeru], ensured the safety of the Demon Subduing True Man's true consciousness.

But the Great True Lord is indeed the Great True Lord.

Even if only a wisp of sword light remains, it is still world-destroying under the blessing of the Great True Monarch's status, and is something that cultivators below the Great True Monarch level cannot contend with.

More importantly, Chongguang, who was the target of the sword light, had completely lost his human form. Only a last bit of his soul was surrounded by his inner demons. However, the inner demons that originally wanted to devour him had now become his natural protective shield, taking the sword strike of the Great True Monarch for him!
"Boom!"

The sword light pierced into the inner demon's body, instantly triggering a series of explosions, like the rising sun melting away ice and snow, leaving it utterly powerless to resist!

Change is intangible? Useless!
An avatar? Useless!
In an instant, the positions of Chongguang and the inner demon were reversed. The inner demon, who had been hit by a sword, suddenly fell to a state worse than Chongguang's!

"It's now!"

Without any hesitation, Chongguang immediately mustered all his strength and used the last bit of his soul to devour the remaining inner demon!
At this moment, his aura was no longer concealed!

The land north of the Yangtze River shook violently, the earth's veins surged, and billowing flames burst forth from the earth, spreading for thousands of miles, covering the sky and the earth, even casting a shadow over the rising sun.

At the same time, countless cultivators from various sects around the place where the strange phenomenon appeared felt a sinking feeling in their hearts. They felt as if a huge rock had suddenly appeared in their sea of ​​consciousness, making it hard for them to breathe. They then all took flight and rushed to get away from the area affected by the strange phenomenon.

Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of the True Lord.

On the sea of ​​clouds reaching the sky, the previously nonchalant Flying Snow True Monarch suddenly turned around, her beautiful eyes fixed on the direction of the turbulent land, a hint of surprise appearing in her gaze:
"...Such a thing is true?"

At this moment, turbid fire continued to surge from the earth's veins, swirling up a vast expanse of black smoke, within which countless vengeful spirits emitted mournful shrieks.

Then, dark clouds rolled back, crashing through the sky and transforming into a towering staircase. At the very bottom of the staircase stood a black-robed Taoist with an ordinary appearance but sharp, raised eyebrows, surrounded by countless vengeful spirits like stars around the moon.

Chongguang stepped onto the Xuan Steps and ascended step by step.

The movements may seem slow, but they actually happen in the blink of an eye, and the higher you go, the smaller everything becomes when you look down at the earth.

"Haha. Hahaha!"

The next second, Chongguang's hearty laughter resounded, followed by a booming sound that traveled through the mysterious staircase beneath his feet, spreading across the vast expanse of the Immortal Pivot in all directions:

"Neither Buddha, nor demon, nor saint, I alone am mysterious amidst all phenomena like a nightmare."

"Anger burns a thousand scrolls of scriptures to ashes, greed pours into the sea and boils in a single cup."

"A thousand tribulations befall me, yet I laugh with my head held high; nine deaths entangle me, yet I tread before the flames."

"Today I break free from my shackles and roam freely, one step at a time to soar to the heavens!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took his final step and stood firmly at the top of the Xuan Steps. He felt as if all the restraints on his body had been broken, and he could now look down on all the mountains below.

Boom!

Almost simultaneously, within the [Sea of ​​Bitterness], the endless imagery of water seemed to respond, waxing and waning, with countless undercurrents stirring the seawater to separate to both sides.

A radiant glow rises slowly from the seabed!
This ray of light is different from the broken Dharma Body Path; it is impartial and upright, like a pillar of heaven, with one segment sinking into the deepest part of the [Sea of ​​Suffering].

On the other end, it leads directly into the "Sea of ​​Bitterness".

It felt like reaching the other shore!

Overseas, in the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas Gate, the old Dragon Lord, who had been dozing, suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with astonishment: "The fourth Great Dao beyond the three foundations?"

"This is impossible!"

"With the fixed destiny set in place, the variable has suffered a severe blow. The three foundations have already been witnessed by all cultivators. How could a fourth path possibly appear at this point?"

"Whose work is this?!"
