The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 964: Chapter 964: The Bridal Ghost Strikes, Old Demon Executed

In theory, given the cultivation environment of the nine worlds under the Constellations of Horned Flood Dragon, it’s nearly impossible for anyone to achieve the Formless Realm!

Even if such a strong person did emerge, they would probably sense the Divine Providence and ascend to the Universal Realm, but to be absolutely certain, Shen Mo still made several preparations.

After plundering Bliss Island in the Nine Abysses Sea, the Soul Generals in the Soul Refining Flag like Master Hong Jue, Gold Piercing Ghost, Serpent-Eel Heavenly Demon, and Banzhi Jiaming, all of whom were peak Fifth Rank Demon Soul Generals, devoured enough blood food and successfully transcended their tribulations, resulting in twelve Sixth Rank Demon Soul Generals; using nine as a base number to act as the array core, the power of the Soul Generals Array was elevated to a new level, reaching the level of the array set up by Hallow Venerable to oppose Jade Spring Fairy!

However, in the Lower Realm, there are currently no adversaries worthy of Shen Mo’s full efforts.

Thus, he relied on his increasingly profound forging skills to create nine son flags based on the Soul Refining Flag and extracted nine Sixth Rank Demon Soul Generals from the Soul Refining Flag, embedding them into each son flag; afterward, through the barrier between the two realms, these nine son flags were individually sent to the sect leaders like Situ Huo, who are responsible for the affairs of each realm!

These son flags do not possess the effect of blood refining spirit generals, nor can they control the soul general in the flag, and equally do not suffer from backlash power.

They essentially provide a shelter for the Sixth Rank Demon Soul Generals and serve as a transfer hub, allowing the Soul Refining Flag located in the Dragon Heart Realm to continue suppressing and commanding the Demon Soul Generals...

At this moment, the blood flag that Situ Huo raised is one of the son flags among them.

The waiting bride condensed from the flag isn’t anyone else but Shen Mo’s Sixth Rank Demon Soul General, the Ghost Bride!

...

Old Demon Wuji lived for nearly six thousand years, far surpassing the lifespan that a Divine Bridge Immortal Master should possess!

Just as the hunchbacked old man, Tu Lin, Fan Rongrong, and others suspected, his ability to survive until now was indeed due to forcibly extracting the primal Essence and Qi from his outstanding disciples through Evil Magic, even going so far as to fuse with his Spirit Pet; it can be said that his greatest purpose in founding Wuji Palace over three thousand years ago was to cultivate a lineage of better-adapted younger progeny.

This man’s insidious and ruthless nature, his cruel and unscrupulous methods, all live up to his title as an old demon;

But regardless, Old Demon Wuji lived nearly three thousand more years, and the prolonged lifespan gave him higher cultivation levels, deeper spell mastery, and unparalleled arrogance!

Even though these years he solidified the truth that ”the master of Nanke Spirit Land is a visitor from the Immortal Realm,” he still showed no restraint, or rather he remained domineering for thousands of years, completely intolerant of outsiders damaging Wuji Palace or his interests.

When the spiritual land of Bingzi City gradually expanded its range, infringing upon his interests, Old Demon Wuji responded fiercely by dispatching disciples to seize and bloody wash a Spirit Stone vein within the Xuanyin Country.

He initially wanted to test the spirit land’s reaction before making further plans, yet unexpectedly the spirit land directly struck the mountain gate.

Initially, Old Demon Wuji felt somewhat dignified, but after a bout with Situ Huo, he realized that the so-called ”visitor from the Immortal Realm” was nothing significant. He matched them without using his full means.

This gave birth to even greater ambition in his heart.

For example, thoroughly occupying the spiritual land base camp, taking the passage between the two realms to reach the Immortal Realm; for instance, seizing divine magic and powerful skills from the Immortal Realm to further his strength; or usurping and through the spiritual land subjugating the entire cultivation world...

However, the moment Old Demon Wuji saw the Ghost Bride, all his arrogance, ambition, and schemes were cast beyond the heavens.

His mind was left with only one thought, escape, escape as far as possible!

In the next moment, Old Demon Wuji twisted his massive serpent body, and various hues of light emerged from all parts of the serpent body, transforming into a dazzling monster light, fleeing into the distance without even caring for the Wuji Palace mountain gate.

”Take action!” Situ Huo cried out swiftly.

With his status and position in the Red Flame Sect, he didn’t order the Ghost Bride like other disciples would with great respect, even though she was a Sixth Rank Demon Soul General, even though she was Shen Mo’s Imperial Soul.

The Ghost Bride didn’t mind his attitude, sensing the profound primal Essence, Qi, and mind of the ”blood food” before her, a rare greedy expression appeared on her pale, sinister, and terrifying face, her icy gaze glances towards Old Demon Wuji, and she activated her Innate Divine Ability!

Instantly, Old Demon Wuji, who had transformed into monster light and was fleeing into the distance, felt his whole body’s primal Essence, Qi, and mind become uncontrollably agitated;

It was as if there was an invisible force pulling, causing the Qi and blood, mana, even his soul to continuously rush towards the seven orifices, transforming into aging, decayed, foul dark blood mist spewing out!

”No! Do not. My mana, my blood, my lifespan... return to me!”

His enormous serpent body, like a water snake hauled onto the shore, its spirit light flickered intermittently as he wildly twisted his body, destroying mountains and lush forests along the way.

More than a hundred years ago, when Shen Mo subdued the Ghost Bride at the Ghost Nation Ruins, she already possessed a ”Glare” Skill, capable of causing any cultivator she looked at to bleed uncontrollably from their seven orifices and die; after ascending to Sixth Rank, the power of this skill also grew, not only controlling others’ Qi and blood but also affecting creatures’ internal mana and soul!

Though Old Demon Wuji was powerful and sinister, he ultimately hadn’t cultivated to the Formless Realm, unable to withstand the Ghost Bride’s skill;

Even worse, his primal Essence, Qi, and mind origin was not his own, but plundered from his Spirit Pet and five Divine Bridge Realm descendants, inherently suppressed by this skill!

The two piled up, the Ghost Bride nearly killed Old Demon Wuji with just a ”glare.”

However, Old Demon Wuji in the end was nearly a six-thousand-year-old monster, with many sinister means in his hands, he tossed out hundreds of blood-patterned bone swords forged from snake bones, pinning them into vital chakra points all over the giant serpent body, forcibly suppressing the endlessly flowing primal Essence, Qi, and mind origins.

He hadn’t caught a breath when Situ Huo already wielded the Xianluan Sword, transforming into a magnificent sword light and slashed down upon him.

”Slash!”

The foul snake blood sprayed out, forming a torrent of blood rain covering hundreds of miles, as two sections of snake body fell straight from the sky.

Upon seeing this, the Ghost Bride cheered, transforming into a malicious light that fell near the giant snake’s corpse, devouring voraciously like enjoying delicious earthly delicacies!

”This neither human nor monster old freak, truly hard to kill!” Situ Huo silently sensed, discovering that Old Demon Wuji had escaped his soul before being beheaded, so he immediately took the Xianluan Sword and transformed into escaping light, breaking through the array breach and into Wuji Palace’s mountain gate located within the ten-thousand zhang Abyss!

At the same time.

The Golden Cores of the Dragon Claw Realm, previously intimidated by Old Demon Wuji’s demon power and retreated from the array, witnessed the fall of the old demon and all charged their escaping light toward the interior of the array.

”To slay the demon head is our duty without hesitation!”

The cultivators lurking and watching the battle from the outskirts seemed to have suddenly awakened a ”sense of justice,” each raising their magic treasures and escaping light, and like thousands of fireflies, they gathered towards the mountain gate of Wuji Palace!
