Fate of the Immortals and Demons

Chapter 380 Demonic Cultivator Invasion

"What? This is...this is actually...how can there be black mist..."

"Wait a minute? It's not black mist... Demonic energy has appeared on the horizon..."

"Could it be... that this sea truly borders the underworld..."

"..."

As the group of Nascent Soul cultivators followed Fairy Zixia's gaze, they looked towards the faintly white sky.

Only then did they realize with a start that wisps of black mist, like a spider web, were obscuring the dawn's light.

Such a scene even alarmed Nalan Yanran, who was determined to drag Mo Hei out of the Dragon Pill Cave.

He couldn't help but stop casting the spell, and stood gracefully on the turbulent sea, stunned by what he saw.

"As expected, since the strange phenomena caused by the hatching of the spirits of heaven and earth have even alarmed the immortal realm, there is no reason why they would not alarm the demon realm."

Following this, You Lizi, from the Shushan Sword Sect of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, spoke first in a deep voice.

The elk, already a powerful tyrant in the South China Sea, nodded in agreement:

"What you say is true, Fellow Daoist. The Tiannan Sea is adjacent to the Underworld, which is an open secret in the Earth Spirit Realm. It is said that the Yanbo Sea and the Underworld's Mingyan Land are also secretly adjacent."

Yue Shan, who was subordinate to the Heavenly Court of the Celestial Realm, was filled with worry and said:

"Judging from this, once the demonic cultivators of the demon realm break through the spatial barrier, this land of Tiannanhai will inevitably suffer devastation."

Upon hearing this, the Nascent Soul stage cultivators became solemn, and without hesitation, they all transmitted their messages to their disciples, instructing them to evacuate immediately.

"Shh!"

Then, Zixia Fairy from the Void Spirit Sect of the Celestial Realm sent out a message, and her beautiful figure flashed as she sped toward the sky where demonic energy was spreading.

As for finding and capturing Mo Hei, who is hiding in the Dragon Pill Cave, after weighing the pros and cons, it is of utmost importance to first hold back the demonic cultivators of the Demon Realm.

If we can keep the demonic cultivators of the demon realm out of the gates before the celestial palaces send celestial officials down to the mortal realm, making it difficult for them to break through the barrier, that would already be a remarkable achievement.

In other words, if we ignore the situation and allow the demonic cultivators of the demon realm to break through the spatial barrier, even if we manage to capture Mo Hei, we can't guarantee that he won't be taken away by the demonic cultivators.

In view of this, Fairy Zixia made a resolute decision after a moment's thought, and without uttering a word, flew alone toward the horizon where the demonic energy appeared.

"This Fairy Zixia is truly intelligent and kind-hearted. She deserves to be known as the most beautiful woman in the Void Spirit Sect of the Immortal Spirit Realm, and she is even on par with Luo Yan of Tianyong City in the Heavenly Spirit Realm."

Yue Shan, who was subordinate to the Heavenly Court of the Celestial Realm, immediately understood the situation. While expressing his admiration, he naturally could not lag behind and followed suit.

Seeing that they were respectively attached to the Immortal Palace and the Heavenly Court, Zixia and Yueshan, from two different camps, flew rapidly toward the whitening sky one after the other.

Of the remaining six Nascent Soul stage cultivators, only the Anxiu left in a hurry, disappearing into the sea without saying goodbye, clearly anticipating that the South China Sea would be lost.

The other five Nascent Soul stage cultivators pondered for a moment, knowing that since they had stumbled upon this, it was neither morally nor logically appropriate for them to remain uninvolved, as this concerned their sects.

If everyone were like the mythical beast of the South China Sea, dominating one region, knowing full well that they were like clay bodhisattvas crossing a river, barely able to save themselves, they could simply flee.

That's why Zixia and Yue Shan left without saying a word.

It should be noted that the celestial realm and the demon realm have been mortal enemies since ancient times.

Now that the demon realm is openly invading, anyone who considers themselves to belong to the immortal realm should stand up and fight back. How can they desert their posts and disgrace their lineage?

If one truly stands aside and does nothing, how can one establish oneself in the immortal realm? One will likely only be able to eke out a living and lead a mediocre life.

With the departure of the Nascent Soul stage cultivators, the little evil dragon hidden in the Dragon Core Cave Heaven immediately sensed that the outside world had calmed down considerably.

Seeing that Mo Hei was still unconscious and tightly gripping the Yuanhong Sword with only the hilt remaining, the little evil dragon knew that it could no longer sit idly by and wait for death.

After greeting the Candle Dragon Spirit Fire that was attached to Mo Hei and helping him refine the demonic energy, he began to act.

The little evil dragon succeeded in fusing a drop of Chi dragon essence blood that was about to give birth to a spirit in the Dragon Soul Ruins, and its cultivation and strength increased greatly.

At this moment, after carefully probing with his divine sense, he discovered that there were no traces of fluctuations in the outside world, so he revealed himself.

However, to be on the safe side, the little evil dragon could not transform into its true form, but instead transformed into a small fish.

They cautiously swam towards the surface of the sea, because the little evil dragon was only at the Core Formation stage, and its spiritual sense had a very limited range of detection.

Rather than rashly using one's divine sense and having to be constantly on guard, fearing being discovered, it would be more practical to swim out to the surface and observe secretly.

Even if he were accidentally discovered, he could use a secret technique to instantly return to the Dragon Pill Cave and hide himself away.

You should know that you are just a wisp of essence. As long as your essence and blood remain, it is enough to condense again in the Dragon Pill Cave.

At the same time, seven Nascent Soul stage cultivators—Zixia, Yueshan, Youlizi, Nalan Yanran, Yue Ziming, Jiang Yueming, and Lingyun—were present.

Having gathered on the horizon where the sea was beginning to lighten, they were naturally not going to let their guard down. After a brief discussion, they formed a formation to cast spells.

But in the vast and boundless sky, the dazzling dawn seemed to be corroded by filth, emitting a black glow.

Faced with the widespread and overwhelming demonic energy, the seven Nascent Soul stage cultivators remained calm and composed, forming a large-scale Heavenly Gang Seven Fighting Formation.

In an instant, the vast sky seemed to appear out of nowhere as a bright mirror, refracting the light that was being eroded by demonic energy.

If Ding Yubai were here, he would surely be astonished.

The Heavenly Gang Seven Battles Formation used by these seven people is actually the same as the selection of new students for the Holy Academy in the past.

The first round of pressure test, the Heavenly Gang Seven Dou Pressure that was displayed was seemingly real but actually not.

It should be noted that the Heavenly Seven Dippers Pressure that the Holy Academy used was an invisible test of pressure, achieved by drawing upon the power of the stars.

The Tiangang Seven Dippers Formation, which uses the elixir as its core, clearly demonstrates the power of the stars and constellations to mount a tenacious defense, achieving the effect of using minimal force to overcome great strength.

It must be said that after the Seven Heavenly Dippers Formation, the demonic cultivators of the Demon Realm clearly felt that the spatial barrier had suddenly become incredibly solid.

Even so, given the demonic cultivators of the demon realm, this near-madness and well-preparedness only slightly delayed the time it took for the spatial barrier to be breached.

Just as the seven Nascent Soul stage cultivators, led by You Lizi, formed the Seven Heavenly Gangs Formation and stubbornly resisted the breaching of the spatial barrier,

Unwilling to get involved in the mess, the Anxiu returned to its palace residence without stopping, and issued an order to its guards to evacuate.

He took out an inconspicuous conch shell directly in the main hall, and with a solemn expression, offered it as a sacrifice between his clapping hands.

"I, Ma Liang, am deeply grateful for your help, senior. I will never forget this great kindness."

Before the sullen-faced Anxiu could speak, Dao Yin, appearing in a soul form, bowed respectfully without being humble or arrogant.

Seeing that the fox's expression was unfriendly and it was silent, as if it wanted to search his soul directly, Dao Yin couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself, knowing that he would not be able to fool it.

It should be noted that back on that Ice God Mountain, Dao Yin was so confident that he was able to escape from the clutches of the Moon Worship Cult Leader, who was only at the Nascent Soul stage.

Although he is now in the form of a soul and has fallen into the hands of a monster with only the Nascent Soul stage cultivation, he is certainly confident that he can escape alive.

Seeing that he had already become a prisoner, the human cultivator who called himself Ma Liang showed no fear in his eyes, but rather a hint of contempt.

Having tested it, the mythical beast firmly imprisoned its soul in its palm, and finally spoke, asking:

"Could it be that you are a powerful being who has possessed another's body and been reincarnated?"

"Of course."

Dao Yin appeared extremely unfathomable, calmly nodding slightly in response.

Now that things have come to this point and the truth has been revealed, it's best to be frank and admit it, which will make it easier to extricate oneself.

Anxiu had no doubts. After all, someone who knew about the Dragon Soul Blood Curse and was willing to self-destruct must have a great secret he couldn't tell anyone.

The fact that the Anxiu could become a powerful overlord in the South China Sea, reaching the Nascent Soul stage, shows that it was not a good person.

The ox was not particularly interested in other people's secrets; otherwise, it would have been impossible for it to take out the conch shell in its hand right here in the main hall.

It is a time of great turmoil, and this land of the South China Sea will soon be mostly destroyed in a great war between immortals and demons.

Having tested him and learned that he was a powerful being who had been possessed and reincarnated, there were only two paths to choose from.

First, make friends.

The second is soul searching.

If you make friends with them, you will treat them with courtesy and establish a good relationship. This will surely be of great benefit to your cultivation in the future.

If one were to attempt a soul search, regardless of whether one could obtain the useful information one desires, it would be risky if the other party were to risk their own life.

Wouldn't that be a complete disaster, needlessly creating enmity for oneself, constantly on guard against the other party, and recovering one's strength to retaliate?

If you're a thief for a thousand days, you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days.

It was precisely because of this concern that the Moon Worship Cult Leader, who was already at the Nascent Soul stage, was so wary.

After coercing Dao Yin into making a vow of Dao heart, Te Cai let him go, adhering to the principle of "keeping to oneself."

Seeing the hesitation on the face of the mythical beast, Dao Yin wisely lowered his stance and said:

"I am deeply grateful for your help, fellow Daoist. I have no way to repay you, but I would like to offer you a set of Divine Soul Cultivation Techniques as a token of my gratitude."

Having revealed his identity as a powerful being who had possessed another body, Dao Yin changed his form of address and deliberately mentioned offering his soul cultivation technique.

However, it should be understood that in the Three Realms, the Divine Soul Cultivation Technique and the Divine Sense Cultivation Technique, though differing by only one word, are fundamentally different.

In short, most spiritual cultivation techniques focus on being good at attacking.

The Divine Soul Technique tends to be both offensive and defensive, almost perfect.

Upon hearing the words "divine soul cultivation technique," the old fox's cloudy, dull eyes suddenly lit up with a sharp light. He quickly released Dao Yin and rubbed his hands together excitedly, saying:

"Fellow Daoist, you're too kind."

Although he said this, his hands told a different story. After rubbing his hands together, the fox seemed very excited and handed out a jade slip with trembling hands.

However, you should know that once you have this soul cultivation technique, if you unfortunately perish one day, as long as your soul remains, you will have a great trump card to save your life.
