The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 432: Chapter 432: Sign of Promotion_1

The might of one sword shattered the tide!

Slaying over a dozen Class III mutated Heavenly Demons and injuring tens of thousands of low-class demon heads—such a spectacular battle record was hard for either side to ignore.

”It’s Senior Brother Shen Mo from the Riverside Sect!”

”Senior Brother Shen’s divine might is unparalleled! Kill all these demon brats!”

”My Master, my junior brother, and many friends were killed by these demons! Thank you, Senior Shen, for avenging our blood feud!”

”...”

Cheers and shouts echoed from within the fortress.

Simultaneously, three peak Class III demon-corrupted cultivators from the Heavenly Demon side flew out, heading toward Shen Mo with an imposing aura.

For Heavenly Demons, creatures from the Outer Zone, their only limitation is the sufficiency of blood-food.

A peak Class II mutated Heavenly Demon, to advance to early-stage Class III, must consume ten thousand robust mortal men and women. Advancing from early-stage Class III to the middle-stage requires over one hundred thousand more. Progressing from middle-stage to late-stage, and then to peak, requires this amount of same-quality blood-food to be multiplied tenfold each time!

Thus, without an open field and with limited blood-food, the number of demon heads that can reach peak Class III is also finite.

To dispatch three at once to deal with Shen Mo showed they were thoroughly shocked by the might of his demon-slaying sword strike. They knew if he were allowed to slaughter at will, the tide of low-class Heavenly Demons would suffer extremely heavy casualties!

”WHOOSH!”

”WHOOSH! WHOOSH!”

Demonic light blazed, and Spiritual Qi vibrated!

Three formidable dark shadows appeared one after another, dozens of miles in front of Shen Mo, all resembling cultivators.

One was burly and muscular, with a thick beard.

One was slender and well-proportioned, pale-faced, like a frail intellectual.

One was female, dressed in exquisite and beautiful clothing, resembling a noblewoman.

What differed was that these three demon heads each possessed a vast and profound aura, and the Demonic Qi coiling around their bodies was even more astounding.

SWOOSH!

From Shen Mo’s sleeves, a cloud of spiritually inert powder and impurities drifted out.

He offered thirty middle-grade Spirit Stones, using the Destiny Skill ”Insight into All Beings” to inspect the three demon heads before him, instantly discerning their backgrounds.

The bearded demon head’s original form hailed from the Golden Dawn Sect, which had been annihilated decades ago; he was a direct disciple of the Golden Dawn Sect’s Law Master.

The frail intellectual originated from the Seven Stars Altar, his former status similar to that of an inner disciple of the Riverside Sect.

The woman resembling a noble lady was originally a rogue cultivator from Zhong State, initially the concubine of a peak Spirit Sea Realm expert.

All of them were primal Heavenly Demons that had invaded the Red Flame Country during the last Demon Tide. They had demon-corrupted cultivators of the Red Flame Country, shedding the restriction that prevented them from advancing to Class III.

Under the Demon Tide that stretched for nearly a hundred years, they devoured countless creatures for blood-food, ultimately achieving their current Realm!

”This young man has such tender skin; he’s sure to taste delicious. After we kill him, I want the largest share of his flesh and soul,” the female demon licked her lips, her seductive voice, tantalizing to the core, was enough to ignite boundless fiery desires in the heart of any adult man.

”CLANG!”

The response to her was a Universe Sword Qi!

That previous Demon Slaying Sword Style move had been executed under opportune conditions of timing, geography, and human factors; Shen Mo was not yet adept with it.

He still needed to study and refine it meticulously to reproduce the might of that previous sword strike.

But even a casually unleashed sword Qi, amplified by the Skill ’Sword Body’ and the Special Destiny ’Uncommon Victory’, still possessed terrifying might.

Demonic light surged around the female demon head. She deployed a magic treasure and activated magic, employing several defensive measures in succession before finally dispelling the sword Qi. Even so, the lingering might of the sword Qi left several small wounds on her body!

Even her cheek had a small piece of flesh shaved off.

”This whelp is too savage! Attack together!” the female demon head snarled, brandishing the iron whip magic artifact in her hand and lashing it towards Shen Mo.

She didn’t even need to remind them; as Shen Mo unleashed his sword Qi, the bearded demon head and the scholarly demon head had already launched their attacks!

Facing the siege of three formidable demon heads, Shen Mo’s expression remained calm.

His figure blurred, and he transformed into his three-headed, six-armed state. Seven inch-long small swords were shaken out, instantly deploying the Big Dipper Array, enveloping the bearded demon head within.

At the same time, his additional arms and heads swiftly struck out with several Constellations Palm imprints, blasting the scholarly demon head into steady retreat!

Seizing this opportunity, Shen Mo, wielding the Demon Slaying Sword, met the female demon head’s charge.

After the sword had eradicated tens of thousands of demon heads earlier, the spiritual nature of the Demon Slaying Sword was clearly much stronger than before.

Furthermore, it was currently in a peculiar state, giving Shen Mo the impression of an extremely ”excited” child who had just eaten candy.

It must be because I’ve used it to slay so many Heavenly Demons these past few years, aligning with its inherent purpose in some unseen way. Coupled with the qualitative transformation arising from the sheer quantity, this Demon Slaying Sword is faintly showing a trend of evolving towards a Spiritual Artifact Flying Sword...

Having refined this sword for many years, I have a sense in my heart: as long as I continue to use it to slay more, and more powerful, demon heads, I can naturally accelerate its transformation!

”Universe Reincarnation!”

...

Every one of Shen Mo’s magic techniques and martial arts had been elevated to a level that ordinary people would find hard to even aspire to!

Every move was extraordinary.

Even simply smashing someone with the twelve Mountain Pearls, empowered by his vitality and Skills, could still inflict tremendous damage on creatures like Heavenly Demons and other such Demons!

Although the female demon head surpassed him in Realm, she was far inferior to Shen Mo in other aspects. Among the three great demon heads, her strength was considered bottom-tier. After only a few exchanges, she was beaten into a sorry retreat.

Unfortunately, at this moment, the bearded one was trapped by the Big Dipper Array, and the scholarly demon head was being battered by the Palm imprints, making him utterly disoriented... neither could lend aid to the female demon head!

When the Heavenly Demon side saw Shen Mo’s ferocity, realizing that even three peak Class III experts were not his match, several more demonic figures immediately broke off from the main battlefield and flew towards him.

They had with great difficulty orchestrated today’s dominant situation, and the Heishan demonic cave was also launching a coordinated attack.

Naturally, they would not allow Shen Mo, this variable, to ruin their good work!

But just then, a black speck, accompanied by a booming thunder, whistled in from afar. The Dark Shadow quickly transformed into a black mass.

Only after several breaths did its true appearance manifest: it was a vast complex of palaces, situated upon a perfectly round and flat piece of ironstone that resembled a turtle shell!

Each palace shimmered with spirit light, connected to the turtle-shell-like foundation stone beneath it, forming a single entity. It was, surprisingly, an extremely rare palace-type magic treasure.

Shen Mo scanned it with his sense, a look of surprise flashing across his face.

The Mausoleum Underground Palace of Prince Yongzuo!

I once explored this Underground Palace with Chen Mengze, Lu Ming, Li Zhong, Jiang Yingying, and the others, and even obtained benefits like the Colorful Phoenix Fan. Naturally, I wouldn’t misidentify it now.

However, Shen Mo could never have imagined that this entire Underground Palace had been refined into a magic treasure.

”Isn’t the tomb of this deposed Crown Prince near Tianshan City?”

”How did it suddenly appear here? Could it be that the Five Great Sects reached an agreement with him and helped him condense his Golden Core?”
