The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 334: Chapter 334 Chase and Escape_1

After ascending to the Spirit Sea Realm, with the assistance of the ”Control Wind” Skill, Shen Mo’s escape speed was no less than that of ordinary Layer IV powerhouses.

However, this Guidao Heavenly Demon had already ascended to the middle-stage, and his speed was not slow either.

And the other four Demon-corrupted sea beasts were also powerful demon heads in the middle-stage of Class III.

Among them, one was a bizarre fish with a huge body and was extremely fast. It carried the other three Heavenly Demons, showing no signs of falling behind.

In the Demon-corrupted Marine Race, there aren’t many at the middle-stage of Class III!

Four powerhouses of this realm were dispatched at once, and together with Guidao Heavenly Demon, that makes five middle-stage Class III demon heads chasing me...

It seems these two old acquaintances weren’t severely punished for losing the demonic cave at Wolf Howling Ridge!

That’s how they were able to dispatch other demon heads and are now determined to kill me.

Shen Mo’s guess was correct.

In the Heavenly Demon Realm, even among powerhouses of the same class, a clear hierarchy existed based on differences in strength and wisdom.

Heavenly Demons like Pei Yu and Guidao had Demon-corrupted cultivators decades ago. After retreating to the Heavenly Demon Realm and lacking bloody food, they ascended to Class III through cultivation.

Coupled with cultivators’ magic, magic artifacts, talismans, Formations, and numerous other methods, their combat power far surpassed that of the Demon-corrupted Marine Race.

As for gnosis, the gap was even wider!

Therefore, in the eyes of high-class Heavenly Demons, they were considered pillars of strength.

Even after losing the demonic cave at Wolf Howling Ridge, they were not severely punished. Instead, they were sent back through the Heavenly Demon passage located in the coastal waters of the Immortal Burial Sea.

Thanks to the Marine Race’s incompetence, a large number of sea creatures became bloody food...

Both Pei Yu Heavenly Demon and Guidao Heavenly Demon successfully advanced to the middle-stage of Class III!

Now that old enemies had met, their hatred flared. They would not let Shen Mo escape easily and were eager to avenge their shame from Wolf Howling Ridge!

If these two powerful demon heads had been able to dispatch higher-ranking Heavenly Demons, those pursuing Shen Mo would likely be late-stage Class III Heavenly Demons.

Five middle-stage Class III demon heads... they won’t be easy to deal with!

But if I could eliminate that bizarre fish in one fell swoop, the remaining three Demon-corrupted Marine Race members shouldn’t be able to catch me. Then I’d have a chance...

Even a blind man could see that the three demons riding the bizarre fish were not skilled in Escape Skills!

But now is not the right time.

Even if I slay all of them, other demon heads would catch up before long.

Shen Mo did not fly directly towards Sea State. There were quite a few highly intelligent Heavenly Demons among them.

They would absolutely not let Human Cultivators escape back to Dingbo City easily.

If he guessed correctly, other formidable Heavenly Demons must be waiting in the area near Sea State. Caught between attacks from the front and rear, the danger would be even greater.

Silently, he sprinkled a handful of Spirit Stone powder from his sleeve.

He sacrificed five middle-grade Spirit Stones, and the ”Insight into All Beings” Skill had gleaned information on the five Heavenly Demons: Guidao, the Fish Heavenly Demon, and the three it carried.

As time passed, Shen Mo had flown thousands of miles from Golden Turtle Island.

If he hadn’t lost his bearings, this sea area should belong to the territory of the Crystal Clam Demon King.

Of course, the Immortal Burial Sea was vast and boundless; the Class IV Crystal Clam Demon King wouldn’t coincidentally appear in this specific sea area.

Forget such big demons; there wasn’t even a Class II creature within a hundred miles.

There were only about a dozen Marine Race members who had barely cultivated a trace of demonic power and had just stepped into Class I.

There were quite a few ordinary creatures without any demonic power or gnosis; they couldn’t even be considered part of the Marine Race.

Only after experiencing it firsthand did Shen Mo truly understand how vast the sea was.

In the Red Flame Country, except for certain desolate, miasmic lands, one would invariably find traces of Human Cultivators and mountain demonic beasts.

It’s about time!

This thought arose in Shen Mo’s mind, and the rainbow of light he had transformed into abruptly changed direction, swooping down towards Guidao and the other Heavenly Demons.

”Finally can’t run anymore, huh? Then meet your death!” Guidao Heavenly Demon was still a man of few, ruthless words; his ghost-headed saber fell faster than his speech.

After this demon head’s cultivation improved, the blade energy from his strikes was also much stronger than before.

Unfortunately for him, Shen Mo’s combat power had increased even more!

”Three Heads, Six Arms—Transform!”

With a shift in his thoughts, the mystical power of the True Immortal Magic catalyzed his blood essence primality. In the blink of an eye, Shen Mo had grown two more heads and two additional pairs of arms!

”The Seven Constellations of the Northern Black Tortoise, Palm—Wall!”

The Pig Badger phantom, transforming into a copper-and-iron wall, intercepted all attacks from Guidao and the other four demon heads.

With his mastery of the Palm, even a late-stage Class III big demon like Shen Lei couldn’t break his defensive Palm technique in a single strike, let alone Guidao and the other demon heads!

Immediately after, the Demon Slaying Sword in Shen Mo’s hand flashed with a cold light.

”Universal Starfall!”

A light like a meteor streaked across the ocean surface. In an instant, the Starfall Sword Qi slashed towards the Fish Heavenly Demon and the three other Heavenly Demons on its back.

The demon heads on the Fish Heavenly Demon’s back frantically employed various techniques, attempting to block the Sword Light.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Water-type spirit shields, blood-red shells, pitch-black ink clouds...

One after another, defensive techniques infused with demonic light and Demonic Qi were shattered by the Starfall Sword Qi.

However, worn down by multiple obstructions, the Starfall Sword Qi’s ferocity had diminished by ninety percent. The remaining ten percent, even if it struck the Demon-corrupted Marine Race members, shouldn’t have caused significant harm.

After all, the Marine Race were simply a classification of demonic beasts in the ocean. Aside from their proficiency in Water-type cultivation methods, their physical bodies were no weaker than those of land-based demonic beasts!

But what happened next was somewhat beyond these demon heads’ expectations.

The weakened Sword Qi, with a PUFF, pierced the Fish Heavenly Demon’s eyeball. It then thrashed its body violently, flinging the three demon heads from its back into the sea.

**Heavenly Demon: Flying Shuttle Demon Fish**

**Realm:** Middle-stage Class III

**Profile:** This demon was originally a peak Class II demon fish in the Immortal Burial Sea, under the command of Demon Lord Lin Gu. After being corrupted by a Native Heaven Demon, it became a mutated Heavenly Demon. Its power dramatically increased after devouring a large number of sea creatures. It practices the cultivation method passed down by Demon Lord Lin Gu, its scales growing harder than gold and iron. It can increase its Cultivation Realm through cultivation and can also devour other creatures to enhance its strength. This demon’s form is fixed; it has lost the innate characteristic of Native Heaven Demons to merge with creatures and thus can no longer Demon-corrupt other beings.

**Weakness:** Due to its body structure differing from Demon Lord Lin Gu’s, it cannot cultivate his transmitted method to Perfection. Its eye area has extremely weak defense, leading directly to its cranium. Its Demon Core is also located in its brain, which is key to slaying it!

Honestly, the Flying Shuttle Demon Fish’s eyes were tiny. Compared to its massive body, which was like an island, its eye sockets were akin to soybeans on that island.

At first glance, Shen Mo hadn’t even found its eyes.

After all, Marine Race creatures came in all sorts of bizarre forms, so it wouldn’t have been surprising if this strange fish lacked eyes. It could still navigate using other senses like touch, smell, or hearing.

However, after seeing the prompt on the panel, he realized it did have eyes. They were tiny and inconspicuous precisely because they were a fatal weakness...

This was to prevent predators from exploiting this vulnerability to hunt it!

Relying on his powerful sense, Shen Mo finally located its eyes and, exploiting this weakness, drove the Starfall Sword Qi into its brain.

Not only did it pulverize its brain, but it also destroyed its Demon Core—its vital core.
