Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons - Chapter 337 - Chapter 337: Chapter 335: Ascend onto the Stage

Chapter 337: Chapter 335: Ascend onto the Stage

The massive serpent thrashed wildly, its already dark red scales secreting faint traces of black light from the slits.

The violet-golden flames grew even more turbulent.

With its rolling, the ground beneath it all turned to scorched earth.

Its hissing resonated incessantly.

As a Demon Emperor of the Thousand Demon Cave, it was acutely aware of the Youwei Spear’s power, and at this moment, its robust demonic power surged wildly in an attempt to dispel the devouring light within its body.

Fortunately, its demonic body was many times more formidable than Liu Jingyuan’s frail form.

In its frantic rolling, the dark red scales opened and closed slightly, and the seeping black light showed signs of receding.

“Hiss!”

The Crimson Heart Serpent Emperor let out a shrill, feminine scream, “You don’t really think that merely holding this spear makes you its true master, do you? I’m telling you, you’re doomed!”

It was right, in a way.

The Demon-refining Treasure Technique was nothing but a superficial trick.

No matter how many years Shen Yi spent deriving and refining it with the lifespan of demons, he could not truly integrate the spear with his body as the Youwei Demon Emperor had.

Therefore, he always resorted to the most brute force stabbing.

Even when he had clashed with Demon Emperor Qinglin, and the Youwei Spear, sensing danger, automatically released its devouring light to counter Qinglin’s power, Shen Yi still could not replicate that phenomenon.

“It really is the Youwei Spear.”

Tong Xin’chuan frowned slightly, somewhat impressed by the young man’s audacity.

Not only did he dare to steal the old Jiaolong’s tail bone, but he also dared to use it within the Thousand Demon Cave.

He must be insane.

“Last time it suffered a loss; this time, it will surely call other Demon Emperors to join forces.”

Yu Chao’an looked into the distance, his eyes betraying a hint of wariness.

Don’t be fooled by their current arrogance; that’s because the Thousand Demon Cave is a rather unique force.

Although they seem united, they are not actually friendly towards one another and even hope for stronger Demon Emperors to fall so they can move to better caves.

However, the premise of all this is that they must not affect the Thousand Demon Cave’s overwhelming stance against Wutong Mountain.

If there were any major problems, the situation would be entirely different.

When the thousands of demons emerge together, even Wutong Mountain would feel a chill down its spine.

Take the Youwei Demon Emperor, for example.

To retrieve its tail bone, it was willing to pay any price, including asking several top ten cave Demon Emperors to take action.

If they encountered such a situation, even if Nie Shixiong were to come, he would have to temporarily retreat.

“The burdens of a large family and business indeed.”

At this thought, Yu Chao’an couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

A group of demons, each harboring their own schemes and even indulging in infighting, yet they still manage to bully the human cultivators.

They occupy the richest land, which induces envy but also helplessness.

Wutong Mountain is the only thorn in their side, the only pain in their flesh.

Which is why he and his brothers, despite their profound cultivation, remain restrained, afraid of truly infuriating the Thousand Demon Cave and bringing disaster upon the world.

They sought two allies.

One practices an unorthodox method, too limited to make any significant impact.

The other spends all its time hoping to replace Wutong Mountain and then continue living peacefully with the Thousand Demon Cave.

“Lend a hand to help him? After all, he is an ally.”

As Yu Chao’an watched the serpent about to suppress the devouring light, he remarked offhandedly.

The young man’s identity was not much of a secret.

There might have been a need to speculate when they saw that three-zhang-tall Golden Body Dharma Identity, but given the more than six-zhang-tall dark-golden Dharma Aspect, apart from Great Qian, no other place could raise such a being.

“The two he just killed were also your allies.”

Tong Xin’chuan glanced sideways with indifference but still slowly raised her hand.

Yu Chao’an raised his eyebrows and sighed, “Everyone says demons are foolish, prone to infighting, and content with indulgence, but really, what’s the difference with us?”

“Idiot.”

Tong Xin’chuan laughed coldly.

Xuanguang Cave has bullied Great Qian for so many years; could they really expect those Yin God Cultivators to dismiss grievances with a smile, like saints?

The covenant had long been a mere formality, an undeniable fact.

Fortunately, several senior brothers and sisters were all like dragons, each with the potential to break through to the Return to Void level, with Mysterious Sword and Spirit Qi being the closest to that realm.

The situation wasn’t too dire yet.

“…”

Tong Xin’chuan was somewhat surprised that this time Yu Chao’an didn’t argue back, but instead was staring blankly down below.

He too cast his gaze downward.

There, the Crimson Heart Serpent had already ceased its struggle, instead fixing its gaze on the Golden Body Dharma Identity that blocked its path.

Under the gaze of those blood-red eyes.

Jiang Qiulan’s body tensed up once more, and no matter how strong her psyche was, it could never overcome the crush of a higher realm.

It was an instinct ingrained in her bones.

At that moment, five dark-golden fingers slowly closed together, shielding her from the Serpent Emperor’s gaze.

“…”

Jiang Qiulan adjusted her rapid breathing and looked up again, confused.

Even if the other person was Shen Yi’s friend, was it too good of them not to step in and help at a time like this, possibly fearing they might injure her by mistake?

“Senior…”

Lady Qinghua raised her head, looking indifferently ahead.

She gave no explanation.

This was the first time, since her reconstruction, that her master had chosen to strike at a cultivator before a demon when facing both.

The likely reason was this young lady’s captivity.

Thinking back to the beautiful woman that the crimson snake had transformed into earlier, Qinghua felt considerable pressure.

She knew she must be more sensible.

She couldn’t expect her master to advise her on everything.

“Huh.”

With a forceful push from his arms, Shen Yi finally drove the spear completely into the serpent’s head.

He looked down in silence.

Then, he raised his hand again and clenched it instantly!

“Screech!”

In that instant, a crimson spirit bird phantom surged behind him, raging with its wings spread out.

The magnificent plume feathers shone with a dazzling cyan light.

Shen Yi threw a punch with all his might.

Boom–

One moment, the giant demonic python was staring at the Golden Body Dharma Identity, ready to break free.

The next, its enormous head was slammed down, creating a vast gulf across the mountains.

Boom–Boom–Boom!

Cyan light burst forth from Shen Yi’s fingertips, instantly covering the serpent’s body, like countless sharp blades neatly sinking into the scales.

At the same moment, the dark aura previously infused into its body could no longer be contained and erupted forth!

The Crimson Heart Demon Emperor had just taken a punch and was still bewildered when it immediately sensed a life-and-death crisis.

It desperately activated its demonic power, attempting to suppress the cyan light once again.

Alas, the excruciating pain of its body being torn apart came wave after wave, relentless as a raging river.

The serpent’s body writhed slowly on the ground until it stopped moving altogether, splitting cleanly along its skin.

[Slaying Transcendent Spirit Middle Stage Crimson Heart Serpent Emperor, total lifespan of 83,000 years, remaining lifespan of 42,000 years, absorption complete]

“…”

Shen Yi watched as the cyan light burst forth from the pile of flesh and took it into his hand.

As a Transcendent Spirit Middle Stage, this Crimson Heart Serpent Emperor from the twenty-third cave was much more challenging to kill than those two Xuanguang Cave Cultivators.

It must have been very close to the Transcendent Spirit Late Stage.

The Golden Body Dharma Identity opened its palm, intending to transfer Jiang Qiulan over.

Yet Shen Yi had not retracted his spear; he still stood atop the serpent’s head, his dark eyes slowly shifting toward the horizon.
