The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 311: Chapter 311: Expulsion_1

”Kill!” screamed Pei Yu Heavenly Demon and the Middle-aged Heavenly Demon in unison, immediately swooping towards Shen Mo.

”Conversion!”

Shen Mo flicked his sleeve and directly unleashed The Big Dipper Array, pressing it towards the two great demon heads.

But his intended first target was not these two, but the elderly Heavenly Demon sitting calmly on the jade bed.

”Universal Starfall!”

Holding the Demon Slaying Sword, a swift sword Qi radiated from it, cleaving towards the jade bed like a falling meteor.

Fear flashed across the elderly Heavenly Demon’s face. His body shimmered with blood light, and suddenly, five slender figures emerged from the blood curtain.

They all appeared as three or four-year-old children, covered in blood, their forms ethereal.

Clearly, they were ghost children refined through some Evil Magic.

The moment these five ghost children appeared, they each grabbed onto the elderly Heavenly Demon’s head and four limbs. A flash of blood light...

In the next instant, with the aid of the ghost children, this demon head narrowly evaded the Starfall Sword Qi.

However, the jade bed, and the compass upon it, were sliced to pieces!

Pei Yu Heavenly Demon and the Middle-aged Heavenly Demon, having now evaded the encirclement of the Sword Array—one demon wielding a silver flame spear and the other a ghost headed saber—attacked Shen Mo from the left and right.

”CLANG!”

”CLANG!”

”CLANG!”

Several arcs of sword Qi forced the two great demon heads back.

”Elder Qian, if the three of us attack together, I refuse to believe we can’t kill this whelp!” Pei Yu Heavenly Demon chortled.

But it waited for some time and received no response from the elderly Heavenly Demon.

During a lull in its battle with Shen Mo, it diverted its divine sense to glance at the elderly Heavenly Demon. Its expression then became quite animated!

It saw the Class III great demon head known as Elder Qian, aided by five ghost children, flying towards the spatial rift.

”Pei Yu, Guidao, the array compass has been destroyed; this old man can no longer control the Formation.”

”This boy alone is already incredibly fierce.”

”When the other four human powerhouses arrive, we won’t be able to escape even if we want to!”

”Forgive this old man for leaving first.”

The elderly Heavenly Demon conveyed this via demonic thought to the other two demon heads.

”Southern Vermilion Bird’s Seven Mansions—Palm: Well!”

Shen Mo executed a Palm technique, forming a square prison with the phantom of the Jingmu An, intending to imprison the elderly Heavenly Demon.

However, this demon head’s original form was that of an evil cultivator who practiced malevolent evil techniques.

Apart from his achievements in the Array Path, his Evil Magic was also extraordinary. He produced a small sword refined from a human leg bone, and with a stab at the Jingmu An phantom, he shattered the Palm.

Immediately after, facing the gushing Demonic Qi and a large number of low-class Heavenly Demons, it plunged headfirst into the spatial rift.

”CRACK!”

”CRACK! CRACK!”

The sound of Prohibitions shattering continuously echoed, drawing nearer from afar.

The Formation within the demonic cave, having lost the elderly Heavenly Demon’s control, was greatly diminished in power... Shentu Gui and the other four Spirit Sea Realm experts were rapidly approaching.

Pei Yu Heavenly Demon and the Middle-aged Heavenly Demon communicated via demonic thought, then both unleashed their most powerful killing moves.

The silver flame spear once again transformed into a crescent moon, scattering a patch of moonlight.

Only this time, the crescent moon itself merged into the moonlight, increasing the power of this magic severalfold.

His Destiny [Danger Perception] sent frantic warnings!

Shen Mo’s Nine-Extreme Crystal Sand Energy was already critically damaged; another ten percent loss would destroy the magic artifact’s core runes.

Therefore, he did not summon it from his Chakra.

Instead, using his second pair of arms and his left head, he consecutively cast three Wall Palms.

To deploy a triple-layer defense in such a short time was his limit.

The other demon head gathered all the ghostly shadows drifting with its blade energy into its ghost headed saber.

Then, it slashed. The blade energy, seemingly slow, moved with deceptive speed, carrying an exceptionally terrifying aura of Nirvana and decay.

If struck by this blade energy, even someone with a physique as tough as Shen Mo’s would likely suffer grievous injuries!

Facing this onslaught, Shen Mo’s Demon Slaying Sword continuously unleashed several sharp streams of sword Qi to meet the blade energy.

...

”PFFT!”

”PFFT!”

”PFFT!”

The copper-like ramparts formed by the phantom of the Wall Water Badger, resembling a pig badger, disintegrated layer by layer like foam under the enveloping moonlight!

However, much of the moonlight’s corrosive power was also neutralized by the Wall Palm.

When it fell upon Shen Mo, his Blue Soul magic robe was entirely corroded into ragged tatters, but the Auspicious Snow inner armor blocked the remaining power.

This profound level, middle-grade magic robe of extraordinary quality ultimately couldn’t withstand a Class III conflict and was completely ruined.

As for the areas unprotected by robe armor...

For instance, on Shen Mo’s face, neck, and arms, the moonlight instantly disintegrated and melted away the outermost layer of flesh and skin.

The injuries to his outer skin resembled the glaze formed on ceramics during firing.

But in the blink of an eye, these terrifying injuries were healed by the Three-Heads Six-Arms True Immortal Technique.

Shen Mo’s body shuddered, and like a snake shedding its skin, a thin layer of scab-like tissue flaked off.

”CLANG!”

”CLANG! CLANG!”

The Universe Sword Qi also struck the Middle-aged Heavenly Demon’s Nirvana blade energy.

Like the clang of colliding metal, the impact of sword Qi and blade energy sent dissipating wisps of power tearing through the cavern, riddling it with countless holes.

The low-class Heavenly Demons, summoned by the two great demon heads and swarming towards Shen Mo, were caught in the aftershock. Their demonic bodies were torn apart and pierced, and they all perished in an instant.

Immediately after Pei Yu Heavenly Demon and the Middle-aged Heavenly Demon launched their deadliest attacks, they stirred their Demonic Qi, transforming into streaks of light and rushing into the spatial rift between the two realms.

”Shen Mo of the Riverside Sect, I will remember you!”

”When I next come to this world... If I have the chance, I will bring countless powerhouses of my clan and storm the Riverside Sect.”

”I will devour all your fellow disciples, your kin, your friends, everyone connected to you, until nothing is left!” Pei Yu Heavenly Demon shrieked, its voice laced with three parts hatred and seven parts madness as it laughed maniacally, just before vanishing into the spatial rift.

By the time Shen Mo parried their attacks, it was too late to stop them!

For these Class III demon heads, losing control of the Heavenly Demon Passage would at most result in punishment from higher-ranking Heavenly Demons upon returning to the Heavenly Demon Realm.

It wouldn’t cost them their lives!

And throughout the entire Red Flame Country, there were nearly a hundred similar spatial rifts, with over ten in Qing State alone.

If they couldn’t turn the tide here, they could simply try another location!

As long as they could initiate a Demon Tide in one place and obtain a large amount of blood food from creatures, they could quickly bolster their strength. It wouldn’t be too late to sweep through again then.

There was no need to fight human cultivators to the death while at a disadvantage!

Thus, after the array compass was destroyed, the elderly Heavenly Demon had decisively retreated to the Heavenly Demon Realm.

Pei Yu Heavenly Demon and the Middle-aged Heavenly Demon, though they wished to grind Shen Mo’s bones to dust and devour him piece by piece, very wisely abandoned the Wolf Howling Ridge demonic cave.

Seeing the three great demon heads repelled, Shen Mo’s expression was not one of joy, but of concern.

The mutated Heavenly Demon, a result of Demon-corrupted cultivators, is so much more challenging than the Native Heavenly Demon, which is driven solely by the obsession to devour and strengthen!

Not only do they possess the magic and cultivation methods of us cultivators, and can wield magic artifacts and use talismans...

Even their intelligence isn’t much different from ours!

And they can continuously grow stronger by consuming the blood and flesh of creatures... No wonder everyone in the Red Flame Country grew pale at the mere mention of demons.
