The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 1127: Chapter 1104: Heroes Gather, Each Reveals Their Brilliance (Part 2)

Hong Gu Duanmuxiang, clad in a full-body red gauze, leisurely strolled amidst the Demon Tide.

She had cultivated the Charming Body to an excellent degree, and with every gesture, a strange aura spread forth. All the Heavenly Demons who saw her figure or sensed her presence, regardless of their realm, were inevitably affected.

The Celestial Demon Clan had no lust, yet the Charming Body, also known as the Desire Body, manipulated not just lust;

Any desire could become a weapon of such a body. Only immortal path stronghold cultivators and Heavenly Demons who had cultivated the ”Selfless Sutra” and ”No-self Demon Sutra” to extremely high levels could completely purge their own desires and emotions, observing the mysteries of the immortal path with absolute rationality, and become entities devoid of passion and desire.

For the old-type Heavenly Demons who had not practiced the ”No-self Demon Sutra,” the desire to ”devour blood food and grow stronger” was already imprinted deep in their souls, inevitably manipulated by Hong Gu’s Charming Body.

The weaker Heavenly Demons, with desires inflamed to the extreme, completely lost their gnosis, and even consumed their kind without consideration, causing fierce and bloody battles among themselves. Heavenly Demons continually fell, devoured by the survivors, who then fought each other again, merely to consume the flesh and blood of their kind.

Unfortunately, when this clan was born, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor, to prevent the Heavenly Demons from consuming each other and to keep the tribe growing, had already manipulated the features of the tribe early on.

Heavenly Demons could devour all creatures under heaven to grow stronger, except for their own kind. No matter how many of their own they consumed, they could not increase even a shred of origin power. Instead, those who went mad with slaughter and devouring their kind constantly emitted threads of demonic Qi from their mouths and noses, unable to digest the origin power of their kind;

Some Heavenly Demons consumed too much, rupturing their own organs and abdomen, yet continued to slaughter and devour without stopping!

The Class V Heavenly Demons with higher realms were slightly better, barely able to suppress the desire to devour their kind. However, under the influence of Hong Gu’s Charming Body, they still fell into a muddled state of mind, unable to exert even thirty percent of their power. Hong Gu easily killed or injured several Class V Heavenly Demons, sending them into the Blood River in the firmament.

Fan Ying, as if a ghost, appeared and disappeared on the battlefield, possessing the Creation Immortal Coffin.

Back when the Evil Spirit in the Feather Realm dissipated, Shen Mo was only slightly distracted, and Fan Ying, borrowing some of the Creation Immortal Coffin’s divine qualities, slipped past his senses, silently escaping under his nose.

Now, she roamed the battlefield, and as long as she used the Creation Immortal Coffin to conceal her own aura, even an early-stage Class VII Big Heavenly Demon would find it hard to trace her tracks. As for Heavenly Demons not yet ascended to Class VII, they simply didn’t notice the presence of a Human Cultivator!

”Creak!”

A Class VI Demon-corrupted Soul Ghost, having just devoured a large number of demonic beasts and while in digestion, vaguely heard a strange noise, whereupon it looked up, terror-stricken, its demonic Qi trembling, intending to employ the ghost escape skill of the original Soul Ghost to flee.

However, wanting to escape at this moment was evidently too late.

Within less than ten li of the void, a broken coffin, seemingly crafted from jade flesh and blood material and covered in mysterious Dao runes, had appeared unbeknownst.

The coffin lid had been pushed ajar, accompanied by mysterious and enigmatic Dao tones, shooting forth immortal light which engulfed it into the coffin.

Moments later, a fist-sized ball of flesh flew out of the coffin, directly entering the Blood River overhead... it was the Class VI Demon-corrupted Soul Ghost that had just been captured into the Creation Immortal Coffin. It sustained less than half a breath before all its vitality was refined away, leaving only a highly condensed Heavenly Demon origin.

If Fan Ying had achieved True Immortal status, and the Creation Immortal Coffin was intact, she could have completely refined this Heavenly Demon origin in an instant.

Yet now Fan Ying hadn’t even established the Divine Bridge, and the Immortal Coffin was still in a damaged state, so rather than recklessly refining the Heavenly Demon origin, she sent it into the Blood River for Shen Mo to handle.

After eliminating that Demon-corrupted Soul Ghost, the Creation Immortal Coffin once again vanished into the void, and it was unknown where Fan Ying went to eradicate demons next.

Flower Fairy A Yao and Jia, also leading the strong ones from within their clan, appeared on the battlefield.

In their vicinity, aside from countless Class I and II Native Heavenly Demons, the majority of strong mutated Heavenly Demons were Demon-corrupted cultivators, with only a small number in alien forms.

Thus, the assaults targeting them were most commonly through magic and magic treasures, forming a torrent.

Facing the overwhelming demonic shadows and the torrent-like ferocious attacks, A Yao and Jia together wielded their clan’s strongest defensive measures.

A small branch hewn from the Mother Tree was planted into the soil. Under the irrigation of mana by two Class VI Flower Fairies and multiple Class V Flower Fairies, tender buds gradually sprouted, growing into a tree sapling brimming with life, which then astonishingly absorbed the tide of attacks from the Heavenly Demons.

Flames potent enough to melt mountains and rocks, fumes noxious enough to kill Class VI beings, demon light capable of melting metal, and magic treasures capable of shattering mountains, all terrifying offensives seemed like sunlight and rain before this sapling, failing to harm it in the least and instead continuously providing nourishment for its growth.

Several breaths later, the sapling grew into a towering tree, identical to the Flower Fairy’s Mother Tree, though not as miraculous.

This tree provided an incomparably safe barrier for the Flower Fairies, even excluding the thick demonic Qi. Whether magic, skills, or magic treasures, they were all deflected by the tree;

All assaults found themselves unable to breach it in one blow, being gradually disintegrated and absorbed by this tree, transforming into its defense power. Over time, its protective power would continually strengthen, even withstanding assaults of the Human Immortal level at its peak!

Under the protection of the towering tree, A Yao and the other Flower Fairies freely unleashed magical abilities upon the surrounding Heavenly Demons, infuriating the strong of the Heavenly Demon side but left them helpless against her.

Also soaring from the Horned Flood Dragon Nine Realms and joining the Red Flame Sect was Tu Lin, who had cultivated the ”Divine Light Spell” from Guangyuan Zi to the ”Qi Light” perfect stage, just a step away from realizing ”Divine Light.” Once he reached the ”Divine Light” stage, his Essence and Qi could unify into one chaotic Yuan, naturally establishing the Divine Bridge and becoming a great cultivator.

Currently, even at the Golden Core Perfection Realm, he could temporarily transform his body, spirit, and mana into a freely flowing Divine Light, adeptly utilizing various Divine Light techniques to repel enemies, securing a top five ranking in the Red Flame Sect among all Golden Core Realm cultivators.

Tu Lin transformed into Divine Light and freely slaughtered Class IV and below Heavenly Demons, fleeing immediately upon encountering a Class V Heavenly Demon. The low-class Heavenly Demons slain by him even matched the number felled by a legion of Divine Bridge cultivators.

Shi Nianyao of the Heaven Phoenix Palace manifested the Undying Flame Phoenix Dharma, proving harder to kill than even a Class VI Demon Soul General, and was no weaker in magic abilities, burning numerous high-class Heavenly Demons to black smoke.

Ning Qingnv, the dark ice creature who had once teamed with Shen Mo to slay the Longevity Demon Lord, along with sisters Chu Yuanhui and Chu Yuanlan, also arrived at the Corpse Mountain Range;

The former froze innumerable Heavenly Demons with her ice-type skills, while the latter two used the Twin Lotus technique to jointly fend off enemies, and many a high-class Heavenly Demon met their doom at their hands!

Besides the Five Dragon Mountain cultivators, numerous immortal path stronghold cultivators from other cultivation forces were present as well. The strongest among the local forces of the Phoenix Continent, Jade Spring Mountain, Hidden Dragon River, Xuanyuan Clan, Taiqing Sect, and Southern Desert Monster Kingdom were the fastest to assist, and with the ongoing battle, increasingly more immortal path stronghold cultivators from the surrounding immortal continents continued to arrive.

Qin Zhen from Qianji Gate, the Silver-haired Child from the Dragon-suppressing Sect, Tang Chan, the young master of Luofu Mountain, Kang Yan, the Formless Realm patriarch from the Kang Family of Canluan Lake, the True Dragon of Hidden Dragon River, Taiao Leihua, Taiao Leikang... one after another, immortal path stronghold cultivators either familiar or unfamiliar to Shen Mo arrived to join the ranks in slaying the Heavenly Demons and quelling the Demon disaster.

Even the Nether Lord of the Soul Ghost Earth Immortal Jiuli, who had some grudges with Shen Mo, led numerous fierce Soul Ghosts to provide support!
