Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 229 The ferocious beast came, the ferocious beast is gone!

"The ruins of the Undying Kingdom are protected by a killing formation that even those at the Dao Integration Realm would find difficult to break through. We tried to venture deeper, but we couldn't break the formation."

Jiu Youming recounted the story.

When they first found the Immortal Kingdom, their first thought was to find the Immortal Tree.

If they could find the Tree of Immortality, they could directly consume it to gain immortality. However, the killing formation was too powerful, and even if they joined forces, they could not break it.

Moreover, no one knew how many killing formations were inside, so they ultimately had to give up.

Jiuyouming paused for a moment, then said, "I sensed the aura of the Earth Emperor's Path inside, and there was a killing formation of the Youming lineage. Unfortunately, the distance was too far, and I don't know exactly what kind of killing formation it was."

"Besides the Netherworld Killing Array, this humble monk also sensed the aura of the Amitabha Buddha's Great Dao and the aura of the Free Heaven Demon Dao," Wu Tianke also said.

"There are many hidden secrets inside, concealing countless ancient traditions."

The Holy Maiden of the Azure Heaven and the Holy Son of the Mysterious Heaven also spoke up.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor frowned slightly. According to these people, the Great Wilderness encompassed the lineages of Buddhism, Taoism, Demonism, and even the Netherworld.

"I have been studying the killing formation from back then, but there are too many killing formations, and it will take time to study them thoroughly," Jiuyouming added.

  

Wu Tian and the others nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right. The power of those killing formations is too terrifying. If we go deeper and break through the killing formations, we will also alert the ferocious beasts around us."

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor nodded slightly and listened quietly.

Yang Wushang said coldly, "Alright, we're already here. What should we do? Come up with a plan."

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor glanced at him sideways: "What are your suggestions?"

"My suggestion is that instead of wasting time here, we should just attack," Yang Wushang said coldly. "If you don't have any good suggestions, then let's see who has the best skills."

"I do have a good suggestion, but I don't know if you are willing to listen," the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor said calmly.

"Tell me about it," Yang Wushang said calmly.

"Follow my authority, enter my world, and I will gather your strength to test how powerful that killing formation is," the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Yang Wushang scoffed coldly, mocking, "You have quite the scheme, gathering our forces for you to command at will? You've certainly got a clever plan!"

"The Demon Emperor's actions are inappropriate," the Buddhist monk said, frowning.

"Demon Emperor, if we enter your world and all the power ends up in your hands, we won't be safe," Jiu Youming said.

If what the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor said is true, and they were to hand over all their power, what if the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor suddenly betrayed them?

This Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor is no pushover!

A ruthless and vicious person!

Not to mention Yang Wushang doesn't trust him, Jiu Youming doesn't trust him either.

Even those like the Heavenly Saintess who had dealt with the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor didn't trust him.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor remained calm, as if he had expected this: "Since you are not far away, I will not force you. From today onwards, I will divide the Great Wilderness into two parts, each in its own direction and region. Until you reach the Undying Kingdom, you will not interfere with each other."

"And what happens after the Immortal Kingdom?" Yang Wushang and the others looked at him.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor said indifferently, "I will give you a hundred years. If you can catch up with me in the Undying Kingdom, I will share it with you equally. If you cannot catch up, then the Undying Kingdom will be mine alone."

The group exchanged glances; this plan was actually a good thing for them.

They are not yet confident in their ability to fight against the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor.

With the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor's methods, he is likely to be ahead of them. If they are not given time to catch up, then who can compete with the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor?

"Thank you for your kindness, Demon Emperor." Wutian bowed first.

Jiuyouming also said, "Then thank you very much for the Demon Emperor's concession."

"You should thank those old guys; they gave you this opportunity," the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor said calmly. "Those who are willing to cooperate with me and find the Tree of Immortality will be granted endless lifespans."

"Demon Emperor, Ming still wants to fight for it himself," Jiu Youming said softly.

The others also expressed their intention to try their best.

Cooperate with the Demon Emperor?

Who can guarantee that they won't be betrayed by the Demon Emperor at a crucial moment?

"Demon Emperor, there are quite a few ferocious beasts from the Immortal Ascension Realm inside. You need to be careful," Wutian warned.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor nodded slightly: "Little monk, you are quite good. If you join my ranks, I promise you a kingship."

"Thank you, Demon Emperor. This humble monk has no desire to become king. I only ask for an opportunity to receive your guidance." Wutian clasped his hands together, a hint of fighting spirit appearing on his face.

Upon hearing this, all the surrounding cultivators stared at Wutian in shock.

Is this Wutian really that brave?

I never noticed before!

"Hmm?" The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor's eyes flashed like knives as he stared at Wutian, scrutinizing him for a moment before saying, "I'm waiting for you."

"Thank you, Demon Emperor." Wu Tian clasped his hands together in a gesture of respect and stepped back.

Li Changsheng stood in the crowd, watching this scene, and twitched the corner of his mouth. Wutian had this idea since he was a child, so there was nothing wrong with a little competition.

If you get a beating, you'll become obedient.

As for whether Wutian is better than Liu Wuyou?

Before obtaining the Buddhist scriptures of all realms, I felt there was still some hope.

But after obtaining the scriptures, Li Changsheng also gained an understanding of Liu Wuyou's current situation, realizing that Wutian had no chance of winning.

The major powers began to choose their directions and divide up their territories.

Of course, the divisions are not many: the Taoist sect, the Buddhist sect, the demonic sect, the three holy lands, the Netherworld and the Boundless Heaven, the Demon Emperor's region, and Yang Wushang's own direction.

Among them, Da Shang and Si Hai belong to the Three Holy Lands.

Sun Chengdao and Ao Xuan were in the gate area.

Both the Nine Netherworlds and the Boundless Heaven are located in the Netherworld region.

Yang Dingtian ultimately chose to stay with Wutian in the Netherworld.

Yang Wushang and Tianxin Demon Emperor each went in a different direction.

With the directions divided, the major powers began to take action and conquer the Great Wilderness.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor watched them enter the Great Wilderness, his gaze sweeping over the scattered cultivators around him. He said calmly, "Anyone who joins the Demon Kingdom, regardless of their status, may enter my world and conquer the Great Wilderness with me. Is there anyone willing?"

Upon hearing this, the independent cultivators became excited.

Because if you don't join, you won't even have the qualification to enter the Great Wilderness; you can only stand outside and watch helplessly.

The major powers will not take them along when they enter the Great Wilderness to search for the Tree of Immortality.

As for being sold by the Demon Emperor?

Many cultivators, unaware of the Demon Emperor's past, felt safer following him.

Because the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor was an existence that suppressed an entire era!

After a moment's thought, Li Changsheng decided to join.

If Liu Wuyou were to sell off the rogue cultivators, he could easily save his own life thanks to his understanding of the scriptures of the various realms and the Buddhist traditions.

Unless Liu Wuyou's world is destroyed, it will not affect him.

As for discovering oneself?

There's no need to worry about that. If Liu Wuyou were capable of discovering it, he would have discovered it long ago.

"Demon Emperor, we brothers are willing to enter the Demon Emperor's world," said a cultivator who had achieved the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.

"Demon Emperor, there are hardly any Five Qi Gathering Realm cultivators left, and you still plan to lead them to conquer the Great Wilderness?" The Primordial Heavenly Demon Saint Son asked in confusion.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor said calmly, "Such a great opportunity, I will give them a chance."

The Primordial Heavenly Demon Saint Son remained silent, as did the other Dao-merging disciples.

They didn't believe that the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor would be so kind, but they didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Saying any more would be to offend the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor.

It's not worth offending the Demon Emperor for the sake of these rogue cultivators who aren't even at the Dao Integration stage.

Several cultivators who had reached the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top spoke up, and other rogue cultivators joined in, with some Yin Spirits also coming to join the fun.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor accepted all comers, expanding the world of leaves to encompass them all.

Li Changsheng was among them, but as soon as he entered the world of leaves, he sensed an invisible force that teleported him away.

As soon as they entered, a powerful aura swept over them, and array patterns spread out, crisscrossing the heavens and earth.

Hundreds of cultivators were also transferred to this world, where, like him, they looked at the array patterns around them.

From the void came the voice of the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor: "You only need to unleash your power to the fullest, and leave the rest to me."

Bottles of pills also appeared in the surrounding space, which were used to restore their Dao Yuan.

Li Changsheng understood that Liu Wuyou wanted to use them to activate the Zhou Tian Star Array!

In this way, Liu Wuyou can conserve her own energy, and with the demon cultivators she brought, she might not even need to use her own power.

No wonder she was so kind as to lead so many cultivators to conquer the Great Wilderness.

After figuring it out, Li Changsheng felt relieved and released his demonic energy.

His demonic energy is ever-changing, and this time his performance was just ordinary, so he wasn't worried about being suspected.

More and more cultivators joined, but they were all assigned to different worlds.

Li Changsheng was also observing Liu Wuyou's world of leaves. Although it was not as good as his own world, it was still a microcosm of the mortal world.

Liu Wuyou did not neglect the principles of worldly life that he had once pointed out, and integrated them into the world.

The world space is very solid; even Li Changsheng's full-force attack might not be able to break through it.

In particular, it is further enhanced by the Zhou Tian Star Array, making its power unfathomable.

The Dao-Merging cultivators and Five Qi Converging Ones from the Immortal Demon Kingdom also entered the Leaf World to preside over the formation and mobilize the power of the world.

The power released by Li Changsheng and other cultivators was absorbed by the array patterns and transformed into the power of stars.

There are also some cultivators outside who dare not join, perhaps because they know something about the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor ignored them, his body enveloped in multicolored light, exuding imperial majesty as he stepped into the Great Wilderness.

The towering ancient trees and lush weeds make it feel like stepping back into an ancient era.

The ground is covered with countless poisonous insects, and countless poisonous creatures lurk hidden among the weeds and fallen leaves.

Some poisonous insects are so potent that even the Five Elements Qi Gathering technique cannot withstand them.

The surrounding dense forest obscured the view, and the area became dark.

The cultivators stood within the world, yet their view was expansive, allowing them to see the surrounding scenery.

"Is this the Great Wilderness?" Beside Li Changsheng, an old Taoist priest with the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of His Head looked around.

"The Great Wilderness Forbidden Land... I never thought we'd actually be here one day," a Yang God cultivator remarked with emotion.

In the past, they wouldn't have dared to even think about it.

The other cultivators were also full of curiosity, as they had previously felt more fear towards this forbidden land they had never set foot in.

Now, with the Demon Emperor's protection, they can look at this forbidden land in a different light.

The next moment, the surrounding environment receded at an extremely fast speed, and even the Five Elements Convergence could not be seen.

Li Changsheng only felt a blur before his eyes and found himself in another place, as if he had jumped through space.

Roar

A deafening roar echoed from the front, the terrifying howl distorting even the void itself.

Fortunately, everyone was not affected while inside the leaf world, they just found it a bit noisy.

"This must be the cry of a ferocious beast at the Dao Integration Realm, right?" a cultivator said.

"A ferocious beast at the Dao Integration Realm—I wonder how powerful it is. Can the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor withstand it?" a cultivator asked worriedly.

"What are you worried about? The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor is on the same level as Dao Integration experts like Yang Wushang and the Heavenly Saintess."

A cultivator who had gathered three flowers at the top of his head said coldly.

A cultivator at the Yang God realm couldn't help but speak up: "If they can kill ferocious beasts at the Dao Integration realm, the Demon Emperor certainly can too."

Li Changsheng twitched the corner of his mouth, but ultimately remained silent.

As expected, they were all a group of cultivators who didn't understand Liu Wuyou.

"Look, a ferocious beast at the Dao Integration Realm?"

A monk exclaimed in surprise.

Li Changsheng looked up in surprise and saw a ferocious beast exuding an overwhelming aura of menace.

It was as massive as a mountain, its malevolent aura forming dark clouds, and its eyes, as large as water tanks, were filled with blood.

The space around the ferocious beast was distorted, as if it didn't exist in this space at all.

A ferocious beast at the Dao Integration Realm!

Although the world was isolated from him and he didn't have to face the oppression of the ferocious beasts, Li Changsheng could still feel the terror of the beasts from that distorted space.

Even ordinary dissipation of malevolent energy can distort space.

If it were him, he would probably only have one thought: to escape.

Go as far away as you can.

It's not that they lack the ability to fight, but rather that if they were to engage in combat, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses, making it not worthwhile.

Rumble

The earth trembled, cracked, and dust flew everywhere. The towering ancient trees around collapsed and shattered in an instant.

The ferocious beast charged forward at incredible speed, its massive, sky-covering paws engulfing the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor.

The cultivators' expressions changed drastically, and they cried out in panic, "Run! Demon Emperor, escape!"

They couldn't sense the aura of a ferocious beast, but the arrival of its paw still gave them a feeling that the world was about to be destroyed.

The demon cultivator presiding over the formation calmly said, "Don't panic, it's just a small ferocious beast."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Demon Emperor raised his head slightly, his eyes radiating a five-colored glow.

In an instant, the enormous beast began to shrink rapidly, and its sky-covering hand also contracted quickly.

In the end, the ferocious beast transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the Demon Emperor's mouth.

The cultivators: "??"

The ferocious beast at the Dao Integration Realm was eaten?

That's it? Gone just like that?

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor remained expressionless and continued walking calmly.

"Just now, the Demon King ate the ferocious beast?"

"That's a ferocious beast at the Dao Integration Realm, are you just going to eat it like that?"

"Even if it were Wutian and the others, they wouldn't have swallowed a Dao-Merging beast whole, would they?"

Within the world of fallen leaves, the cultivators were in an uproar.

"Is the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor that strong?"

"Are there any demon cultivators from the south? Your southern demon emperor is so terrifying, how come I've never heard of him before?"

Li Changsheng: "..."

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor comes from the Central Plains. You really should do your homework!

"First of all, I must clarify that although the Heavenly Heart Demon Empress is a demon emperor from our South, she actually originated from your Central Plains!"

A southern demon cultivator couldn't help but say, "If it weren't for her, would I have come all the way from the south to the Central Plains to make a living?"

Li Changsheng: "??"

I'm sorry about this.
