The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 913: Chapter 913: The End of the Immortal Battle, Astonishing Gains! (Part 1)

The entangled enmity between Jade Spring Fairy and Hallow Venerable can be traced back eight thousand years.

This battle lasted several decades, affecting multiple worlds; countless cultivators, mortals, strong figures from alien tribes, demons and monsters, deities and their disciples, and countless other creatures fell for this... Ultimately, the curtain fell with Hallow Venerable’s death and obliteration!

The corpse of the Demon True Immortal, along with its remaining primal Essence and Qi, was refined into a mass of Evil Qi by Jade Spring Fairy, but she could not completely eradicate it despite using all her means.

Thus, Jade Spring Fairy found a Withering Realm and cast this mass of Evil Qi into the Death Ghost Realm...

Barring unforeseen circumstances, there is no possibility for Hallow Venerable to resurrect!

Shen Mo and other Immortal Masters stayed in the Insect Nest Cave for half a year, purging the surviving Evil Insects, Thousands Insects Evil Corpses, and other demons and monsters.

As time passed, this Insect Nest would be unable to maintain its cave paradise form, gradually falling into mortal dust and becoming a Dungeon. However, to prevent the birth of another great demon like Hallow Venerable, Jade Spring Fairy drained her mana to shatter its space barrier; thus, the Insect Nest Cave directly skipped the process of falling into the mortal realm and started continually merging into the Universal Realm.

Soon, a hazardous land fraught with breeding Evil Insects will appear fifty million miles southeast of the Corpse Mountain Range!

From this battle, Shen Mo’s Demon Soul Generals greatly improved by consuming countless Evil Insects and demons.

Fairy Pei Yu, Ghost Bride, Possession Ghost Yang Chengxiong (Horse Groom Lv), Thousand-eyed Demon, these four top-tier Demon Soul Generals, showed signs of promotion and fell into a dormant state after returning to the banners, temporarily unable to consolidate and deploy to fight enemies.

The overall strength of other Demon Soul Generals has also advanced rapidly.

Master Hong Jue, Gold Piercing Ghost, Serpent-Eel Heavenly Demon, Banzhi Jiaming, Fox Demon Pei Wanchen, among others, a total of twelve Demon Soul Generals, have advanced to the peak level of Class V.

Moreover, several Class IV Demon Soul Generals have stepped into Class V, bringing the number of Class V Demon Soul Generals to fifty-seven; excluding the four soon-to-be Class VI Demon Soul Generals like Fairy Pei Yu, there are fifty-three remaining. Once another Demon Soul General advances to Class V, a God Slaying Array with fifty-four array cores can be arranged!

Shen Mo specifically left tens of thousands of minor Heavenly Demon Soul Generals possessing Demon-corrupted instincts, whose realm remains at the peak of Class II, while the remaining over two hundred thousand Demon Soul Generals all ascended to Class III and Class IV levels.

Moreover, the number of ordinary Soul Generals has exceeded 2.7 million and will soon break through 3 million.

However, these ordinary Soul Generals are not Demon Soul Generals. Among them, the strong and potential ones have long been Demon-corrupted by minor Heavenly Demon Soul Generals, transformed into variant Demon Soul Generals; most left are Class I and Class II Soul Generals, which cannot continuously bolster their strength by consuming blood food like Demon Soul Generals. Apart from serving as the foundations of the God Slaying Array, they are not of much use!

Shen Mo, Qin Zhen, Daoxuan Immortal Master, and other Divine Bridge, Formless Immortal Masters, returned to Jade Spring Mountain shortly, where Jade Spring Fairy once again hosted a celestial banquet atop the mountain for the gathered cultivators. Through the records of the copper mirror, contributions were assessed, and countless spiritual items, magical artifacts, and magical treasures were awarded!

Shen Mo achieved significant feats, hence received substantial rewards...

Setting aside other trivial spiritual items and artifacts, three treasures were extremely valuable, leaving him quite satisfied!

The first treasure is a peculiar stone.

After planting it in the cave paradise’s earth vein, an elixir spirit marrow called ”Feather Transformation Stone Marrow” will seep from its surface.

Caves and paradises opened and cultivated by different strong figures generally produce specific spiritual items, and the Insect Nest Cave is likewise; most items produced in this cave are suitable for the cultivation of Evil Insects, insect-type demons, and Thousands Insects Evil Corpses, and ”Feather Transformation Stone Marrow” is the supreme resource among them!

If the Thousands Insects Evil Corpse tribe were to propagate and birth new evil corpses on their own, it would be extremely difficult like the stronghold of the Immortal Path.

In the forbidden land descended upon by the Thousands Insects Evil Corpse tribe in the Primordial Realm over the years, the number of Thousands Insects Evil Corpse, even counting to the fullest, never exceeded two hundred; later, more than a hundred were abducted by Shen Mo, severely depleting their vitality. Even if they arrived in the Universal Realm, it would take thousands of years to recover through propagation!

However, with the Feather Transformation Stone Marrow, the situation is different...

Some insect-type demons can merge with specific Evil Insects and fuse into a whole through consuming this spirit marrow to transform into Thousands Insects Evil Corpse;

The great demon Mingpeng, who died at the hands of Shen Mo, also relies on Feather Transformation Stone Marrow to restore its strength upon ”resurrection,” but Shen Mo did not encounter ”Mingpeng II” in this battle, evidently because Hallow Venerable was preoccupied with his resurrection, unable to attend to his tribe members killed in the Corpse Mountain Range battle!

With such extraordinary effects, this spirit marrow earns the name ”Feather Transformation,” not the Ascension of cultivators, but the transformation of insect-type demons from insects or pupae into Thousands Insects Evil Corpse.

In a certain way, the term ”Feather Transformation” was borrowed by those on the cultivation path from the insect-type ”Feather Transformation” meaning, imbuing it with new connotations, gradually developing the meaning of ”Feather Transformation into Ascension, becoming Immortal!”

To insect-type demons, the ”Feather Transformation Stone Marrow’s” ”Feather Transformation” is truly fitting...

The process to transform into Thousands Insects Evil Corpse is akin to an ”Ascension”; most Thousands Insects Evil Corpses are exceptionally powerful, possessing excellent cultivation talent, the gap between regular insect-type demons or Evil Insects and them is as vast as the difference between ordinary cultivators and cultivators with Spiritual Bodies!

In Jade Spring Fairy’s possession, the quantity of peculiar stones that can produce Feather Transformation Stone Marrow is substantial; after all, she ransacked the Insect Nest Cave when shattering its space barrier.

Shen Mo received only one piece, which he directly planted above an earth vein in the Mountain-River Zone, estimating that the annual output of stone marrow might not be much, but it would be more than enough to cultivate Spirit Pet Evil-eating Sky Centipede!

Over these years, Evil-eating Centipede has been swallowing evil substances and evil qi that were difficult for Shen Mo to handle, and its realm has surged, now upgraded to late-stage Class V. Along with the miraculous effects that Feather Transformation Stone Marrow has on insect-type demons, it stands a great chance of stepping into Class VI in the future.

The thought that Jade Spring Fairy cast the Evil Qi, sourced from Hallow Venerable, which could not be completely eradicated, directly into the Death Ghost Realm left Shen Mo somewhat regretful.

He has the Dragon Elephant Blood Fiend Body and Spirit Devouring Skill, entirely capable of using the Demon True Immortal’s corpse and remaining primal Essence and Qi as fuel for enhancing cultivation level; even taking a step back, if only a mass of Evil Qi were left, feeding it to Evil-eating Centipede might further elevate it to Class VI!

However, Jade Spring Fairy’s actions were understandable;

After all, no one knew whether Hallow Venerable had any hidden moves that could allow him to revive... casting its primal Evil Qi into the Death Ghost Realm was clean and assured, eliminating any future threats!
