The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 519: Chapter 519: Desire to Destroy Yan Tianjing_1

”Destroy Yan Tianjing, establish the Immortal Country!”

”Destroy Yan Tianjing, establish the Immortal Country!”

”Destroy Yan Tianjing...”

The hundreds of thousands of Evil Demons on Golden Light Ridge all erupted. Even amid the uproar, mixed with the languages of various races, one could always feel their incited, blazing killing intent, which seethed and overflowed the heavens.

Countless conflicting auras vibrated, dispersing much of the stench on Golden Light Ridge. The terrifying momentum, shaking the heavens and earth, shot straight to the Nine Heavens, obscuring the sun, moon, and Stars, making the scene here appear as if clouds were scattering and the mountain moon was shrouded in mist!

Those damned Evil Demons!

Shen Mo’s eyes were filled with gloom, his face as cold and indifferent as water, and he remained silent in contemplation.

As the Capital City of the Red Flame Country, Yan Tianjing accommodated tens of millions of immortal and mortal. If the city were to be breached by these evil cultivators and Outer Zone Demons, there probably wouldn’t be many survivors left inside.

The lucky ones who didn’t die would likely be captured by Demons similar to the Smoke Demon and raised as ”livestock,” a fate more tragic than being eaten on the spot!

However, it wouldn’t be so easy for the hundreds of thousands of Evil Demons on Golden Light Ridge to annihilate Yan Tianjing.

For thousands of years, this city had always been the center of the human kingdom. Even with several dynastic changes, its status remained unshakeable.

Before the emergence of the Five Great Sects, there were human kingdoms supported by major immortal sects, standing tall in the Red Flame Zone, with Yan Tianjing established as their Capital City. One could say that the history of this city was far older than even millennium-old powers like the Riverside Sect!

In every era, Immortal Path forces would add to and consolidate the Formations in Yan Tianjing.

Year after year, this resulted in the city’s major Formations being layered with minor ones, and minor Formations embedded within major ones, reaching an extremely terrifying level.

Undoubtedly, the City Protection Array of Yan Tianjing was more robust and formidable than the Mountain Protection Array of the Five Great Sects. As long as there was no internal chaos and there were enough Spirit Stones and cultivators to supply Mana, it could withstand any strong attack below Class V.

The Xiu Xian Forces within this city were intricately complex. Besides the headquarters of the Defense Division, formed by the Five Great Sects and other various powers, there was also the headquarters of the Alchemists Alliance, a large number of Cultivating Families, remnants of great sects from the previous era, and rogue cultivators residing in the city.

Just in terms of the number of cultivators, it was several times more than the Riverside Sect, which claimed to have one hundred thousand disciples!

If no Class V existence took action, it could be considered as impregnable as a fortress... During the previous demonic catastrophe that lasted nearly a hundred years, Foreign Realm Demons had launched a massive Demon Tide to attack Yan Tianjing, only to end up battered and bloodied.

In that demonic catastrophe, the number of major and minor demon heads exceeded one million, far surpassing the hundreds of thousands of Evil Demons at Golden Light Ridge today.

Of course, the Evil Demons gathered here, apart from the evil cultivators, all came from various Outer Zone Demons. They possessed numerous bizarre and mysterious Spells and Skills, which were much harder to defend against than pure Foreign Realm Demons. They might actually succeed!

However, what Shen Mo was most concerned about were the Protectors of the forbidden lands and the top-tier powerhouses among the Outer Zone Demons.

Even if only one Class V being made a move, destroying Yan Tianjing would be as easy as flipping a hand!

So far, apart from solitary Outer Zone powerhouses like the Soaring Serpent and the Four-eyed Giant, Shen Mo had yet to see any Class V or higher beings emerge from the forbidden lands.

Regarding the Soaring Serpent lurking in the Linjiang Mountain Range, after Shen Mo upgraded [Insight into All Beings] to the Orange quality, he had gone to Qing State to probe again.

Its cultivation level had reached the terrifying Sixth Order Peak, an existence surpassing even a Heavenly Monarch of the Divine Bridge Realm!

No wonder that just by coiling up motionless, the life radiation from the Soaring Serpent could cause worldly creatures to mutate. There were no forbidden lands seen in its vicinity, nor did any Outer Zone creatures dare approach it.

Shen Mo guessed in his heart that among all the descended Outer Zone creatures, the Soaring Serpent and Bizarre Dragon were likely among the absolute top, perhaps including the Four-eyed Giant.

As for the other top-tier Outer Zone creatures, they seemed quite apprehensive about leaving the forbidden lands, unlike the unrestrained Soaring Serpent and Bizarre Dragon.

He had cast the Soul Searching Spell on many Outer Zone Demons that died at his hands, but without exception, every memory concerning this aspect in their souls vanished entirely, leaving no trace. It was as though an invisible force was secretly preventing this information from spreading!

He had also tried to sound out Flower Fairy Mi. She usually inadvertently revealed various types of information, but whenever this matter was broached, she would become extremely guarded, unwilling to mention even a single word.

The reasons for this could be delved into at a later date.

Among the Outer Zone creatures, those of Class V and above rarely showed themselves, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t act.

Just like the Mother Tree Green Leaf in Flower Fairy Mi’s hand, it most likely contained the power of a Class V Flower Fairy... capable of easily annihilating Shen Mo, to the extent that not even the [Rebirth from the Residual Body] Skill could save him!

I wonder if the Protectors of the forbidden lands from the benevolent faction of the alien tribes would take action? Shen Mo gazed into the sky above Golden Light Ridge, his eyes growing increasingly deep.

Excluding those senseless, unknowable Evil Spirit manifestations, among the alien tribes that had descended upon this domain, twenty percent held positions similar to the Flower Fairy clan, being races willing to get close to and protect native creatures. To allow this world to continue for longer, a conflict between them and the Outer Zone Demons was as inevitable as fire and water!

If the level of conflict remained below Class V, Shen Mo believed they would definitely take action.

However, right now, he was somewhat hesitant.

He was uncertain what the Protectors of the forbidden lands were concerned about; at the same time, he couldn’t be sure of the Outer Zone Demons’ third layer of intent.

His Realm had not reached the corresponding height, and crucial information was missing. Even if his strategic abilities were already comparable to old demons who had lived for hundreds or thousands of years, he couldn’t make deductions out of thin air!

Worrying more now is useless.

When this group of Evil Demons attacks Yan Tianjing, I’ll seize the opportunity to annihilate a batch and then leave!

With the Feather Transformation Charm and the [Sword Escape] Skill, a few Class IV great Demons still can’t kill me. At worst, I’ll pay the price of a damaged soul and forcefully use the Skill to flee a great distance.

At Shen Mo’s current Cultivation Realm, utilizing the Ascending Cloud Immortal Method, augmented by the [Control Wind] and [Cloud Transformation] Skills, he could cover a little over four miles in a single breath, not quite five miles.

As for early-stage Class IV powerhouses, including early-stage Golden Core Realm cultivators, they could cover roughly six miles in a single breath.

A middle-stage Class IV powerhouse could cover more than eight miles in a single breath, but less than nine!

In other words, even if Shen Mo were five hundred miles away from that Thousand-eyed Demon, if it pursued him relentlessly, it could catch up to Shen Mo after about a hundred breaths.

However, Shen Mo still had many Feather Transformation Charms on him. Even if the talismans ran out, he could still activate the [Sword Escape] Skill. A slaughter followed by an immediate escape should pose no problem!

The only issue was whether he could create enough distance from the pursuing great demon to get beyond the range of a Class IV great demon’s sense; only then could he ensure his survival.

If his Feather Transformation Charms ran out and his soul could not bear the [Sword Escape] Skill, and he still couldn’t shake off the great demon’s pursuit, his chances of survival would be slim.

Given the ferocious nature of the Outer Zone Demons, they would likely chew his ”corpse,” sucking out his marrow and devouring him completely, leaving him no chance to trigger [Rebirth from the Residual Body].

Besides, the Mother Tree Green Leaf in Flower Fairy Mi’s hands might possibly save his life.

But Shen Mo could neither get accustomed to, nor would he, place his hopes on others!
