Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

Even within the demon race, a powerful demon emerged who ruled over the entire demon race—a terrifying being who called himself the Demon Slayer.

In the end, if Emperor Wu Gu Tianren had not attained immortality through martial arts and won an earth-shattering battle against the Demon Slayer, the history of the past million years would probably not have been so peaceful.

"We must get out of here alive today!"

Duan Xingchen forcibly suppressed the fear in her heart and shouted in a charming voice with great appeal: "Our Holy Feather Sect is a sect that eliminates demons and protects the righteous path. How can we lose our composure because of these little devils?!"

"All disciples of the Holy Feather Sect, heed my command! Establish the Heavenly Purity Nine Formations!"

Upon hearing this, the holy light surrounding Duan Xingchen intensified.

She circulated her spiritual energy. Having been blessed by the sacred black gold, she naturally possessed a physique completely different from other cultivators. Her skin was pure and spotless, and the spiritual energy surging through her meridians was free of any impurities; it was completely pure and imbued with a sacred aura.

Elemental Constitution - Holy Body.

This is a pure and inviolable physique, where no impurity can contaminate Duan Xingchen's body. The spiritual energy she cultivated was absolutely pure from the very beginning, giving her a significant advantage in battles against other cultivators.

More importantly, the Holy Feather Sect's Heavenly Purity Nine Array requires the Holy Purity Body as its core.

"Yes!!"

Upon hearing this, the cultivators of the Holy Feather Sect immediately began to surge their spiritual energy and circulate their cultivation techniques, quickly arranging themselves into nine inner and outer circles, with several hand seals rapidly forming in their palms.

One white ring, two white rings...

As the cultivators of the Holy Feather Sect condensed their incantations, one pure white ring after another slowly appeared around Duan Xingchen. At this moment, this Holy Maiden of the Holy Feather Sect was like a fairy descended from heaven, exuding an ethereal aura that transcended heaven and earth.

The white light flourishes.

The surging darkness from all directions seemed quite wary of this beam of white light, and the unknown black monster resembling a demonic wolf stared wide-eyed at its bloodshot, scarlet eyes, a mixture of surprise and fear flickering within them.

Demons have natural enemies, and unfortunately, their natural enemy happens to be holy black gold.

Duan Xingchen is blessed with a holy body by the Holy Profound Gold. At this moment, the seventh-order grand formation condensed by the cultivators of the Holy Feather Sect is a formation specially used by the Holy Feather Sect to exorcise demons.

This is why the Holy Feather Sect has become increasingly famous in the Kuntian Domain in recent years. After all, it is an undeniable fact that demons roam freely in the Kuntian Domain. Apart from the major powers that do not care about demons, there are many small sects or small cities that have been constantly invaded by demons and are living in dire straits.

The Holy Feather Sect was like a benevolent hand, pulling them out of boundless fear.

"Hiss hiss hiss—"

Faced with the ever-blooming holy white light, the darkness surrounding the cultivators of the Holy Feather Sect emitted a slightly frightened and eerie sound. They began to move outward, seemingly to avoid being illuminated by the light.

—It worked!

Duan Xingchen was overjoyed, thinking to herself that the Heavenly Purity Nine Formations that her martial uncle had taught her had indeed come in handy!

But how could she dare to slacken her efforts? She knew that in a direct confrontation, although she possessed an immaculate holy body, she was merely a cultivator at the initial stage of the Opening Yuan realm, while any one of these twisted demons was at the Transcendent God realm, and they were constantly emerging from that dark, invisible, deep black current...

The sheer number of them is enough to overwhelm her!

Moreover, the other cultivators of the Holy Feather Sect are different from her. They don't possess a Holy Body, and facing these demons, even if their cultivation levels are similar, it's extremely difficult to suppress them using the Holy Feather Sect's techniques. Killing one demon isn't difficult, but facing two or three at the same time—

The inevitable outcome is death.

Therefore, she could only maximize the activation of her Holy Body here, using the power of Holy Mystic Gold to repel these damned demons.

As the white light expanded, her vision finally caught sight of the exit of the ruins hall. It was a road that could barely be called wide, with withered trees on both sides—the Holy Feather Sect had previously come from this road by carriage.

To be honest, they originally only wanted to deal with some ordinary monsters. After all, this was Duan Xingchen's first time going down the mountain for training as a saintess, so the sect naturally wouldn't assign her any dangerous training missions. Therefore, they didn't let her personal guards come along.

To her utter surprise, what awaited her in these ruined palaces was an almost immeasurable number of Transcendent-stage demonic creatures...

God knows what really happened!

Thinking of this, Duan Xingchen shook his head slightly twice—

Now is not the time to think about these things. Finding an opportunity to get out of this hellhole alive is what she should be thinking about.

The white light continued to spread. Duan Xingchen unconsciously made eye contact with the demon hidden in the shadows in the distance, whose bloodthirsty eyes were the only visible feature. She clearly sensed that the demon was filled with extremely insane killing intent. Once the white light faded, it would rush towards her with the speed of a wolf pack.

At this distance...

Duan Xingchen judged the time and glanced back at the exit of the ruins.

Her spiritual energy was dwindling. Even though the Heavenly Purity Nine Array was still operating, it was nearing its limit. Although she still had enough spiritual energy, she had never had the experience of operating the Holy Body for a long time, and she was clearly about to give up.

"Not enough...not enough..."

She watched the monster retreat step by step, its eyes fixed on her menacingly, a mocking smirk playing on its lips. Her heart trembled wildly as she nervously assessed the distance.

A distance that would allow all the cultivators of the Holy Feather Sect to leave safely, without anyone else dying.

Just a little bit more, just a little bit more...

Just as the area covered by the white light was about to reach the range Duan Xingchen had anticipated—

Above Duan Xingchen's head, the void space was suddenly torn open with a crack.

next moment.

"Wait, wait, why is it falling from the sky?!"

A figure desperately clung to an unknown silver artifact as it descended from the sky, while another figure clung tightly to it.

boom!

Without a doubt, it crashed into the magic circle.

Although it didn't directly knock Duan Xingchen off the sky, this sudden change still startled all the cultivators of the Holy Feather Sect, including Duan Xingchen. The Heavenly Purity Nine Array, which had barely been maintained, shook violently twice, and the white light that was spreading outward suddenly stopped...

Oops!

Duan Xingchen felt a sudden panic. She tried her best to activate her Holy Body, but she was already at her limit and could only use very little of her physical strength, making it impossible for the white light to continue expanding outward!

Damn it...

Duan Xingchen gritted his teeth, trying his best to maintain the Heavenly Purity Nine Formation, while glaring fiercely at the two people who had crashed into the formation and then rolled into the pile of cultivators.

Where did these two come from?!

Ye Yuchan, clutching her aching head, struggled to sit up from her wheelchair. Beside her lay Zhang Ruoxue, who looked completely bewildered, sprawled on the floor.

At that moment, both of their gazes fell on Duan Xingchen. Clearly, under the dazzling white light, they did not notice the furious look in Duan Xingchen's eyes that seemed to want to devour someone.

Especially Ye Yuchan, this girl stared blankly at Duan Xingchen, and after a long while, she suddenly said something.

"What a huge light bulb..."

7. Where's the light bulb? Where's that big light bulb that was just here?

If the Heavenly Purity Nine Formations hadn't needed to be maintained, Duan Xingchen would have long abandoned the saintess's pure and supreme image and gone down to punch each of those two girls who suddenly appeared.

They knew that if they held on for another half a minute or so, the holy light of the Nine Heavenly Purities Array would illuminate the entire ruins of the hall, at which point the people of the Holy Feather Sect would naturally have the opportunity to escape from this place.

No one will die; this is the best possible outcome in Duan Xingchen's opinion.

But right now...

Because Ye Yuchan and Zhang Ruoxue, who appeared out of nowhere, accidentally collided with the Heavenly Purity Nine Array, the cultivators of the Holy Feather Sect, including Duan Xingchen, were briefly distracted, causing the Heavenly Purity Nine Array to shake.

The holy light is diminishing.

Even though Duan Xingchen was still exerting all his strength to output his spiritual energy, the holy light of the Heavenly Purity Nine Array was still shrinking inward in despair, and the holy light emitted by the nine pure white rings floating around him was becoming weaker and weaker.

Oops……

Duan Xingchen's pretty face showed embarrassment. Judging from the current situation, if they retreated immediately, they could still keep the losses to within ten people.

But if things drag on any longer, there might still be a chance for a turnaround, but if no turnaround occurs...

These disciples of the Holy Feather Sect who came here for training may all be wiped out here.

Sacrificing ten lives to save others...

Or they could wait, and perhaps her holy body would still have a chance to break through... but if something unexpected happens, they might face total annihilation.

How to do?How to do?

Two completely different choices were presented to Duan Xingchen.

"Hiss hiss hiss—"

As the holy light dimmed, darkness rose again.

The endless, viscous, black liquid around them surged with an almost excited aura. It seemed to sense that the light that they loathed and feared was weakening, and it began to wriggle towards the cultivators of the Holy Feather Sect step by step.

"Whoa, what the hell is this thing?"

Ye Yuchan and Zhang Ruoxue were standing on the outermost edge of the white light, which allowed them to face the twisted demons up close.

What an irregular creature it was! Its appearance defied all biological logic; it was a monster pieced together from flesh and black mud.

Some resemble wild wolves, some resemble poisonous scorpions... but without exception, they do not seem to be human creations, because at least human creations have a basis for existence, and at least they would not grow limbs that are sometimes curved, sometimes straight, and sometimes spiraling.

This thing is so sanity-draining.

As the white light faded, the darkness drew ever closer to Ye Yuchan and Zhang Ruoxue. Sensing the danger, Ye Yuchan maneuvered her wheelchair backward while grabbing Zhang Ruoxue, who was still standing there in a daze, and pulled the dazed girl back.

"Ruoxue, move back a bit... these things don't look like they're easy to mess with."

"what……"

Zhang Ruoxue finally snapped out of her shock. She shook her dazed head, quickly took a few steps back, and moved a little further away from the group of twisted demons. She couldn't help but glance back at the dazzling light.

However, what she saw was the gaze of a few Saint Feather Sect cultivators, a mixture of hatred and resentment.

Even Zhang Ruoxue could guess that their unexpected teleportation seemed to have drawn them into a terrible incident...

And judging from the looks of it, it seems like things have gotten out of hand?

"Tsk..."

Those repulsive-looking creatures continued to crawl inwards, and Duan Xingchen's resentment and anger grew stronger. She glared fiercely at Ye Yuchan and Zhang Ruoxue, but she already had her answer in her heart.

She didn't care where Ye Yuchan and Zhang Ruoxue came from or why they suddenly appeared here. All she knew was that neither of them had high cultivation levels, and they probably wouldn't last even half a second against those bloodthirsty demons. Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for her to get their help.

Besides... she can't wait.

If she continued to wait, all the other disciples of the Holy Feather Sect might be killed. As the Holy Maiden of the Holy Feather Sect, she absolutely could not allow such a thing to happen.

Therefore... even if it means sacrificing some people...

"All disciples, heed my command!!"

The nine rings surrounding Duan Xingchen suddenly shattered—as the core of the formation, she had voluntarily canceled the Heavenly Purity Nine Formation!
