Chapter 1129 - 745: Gathering of Demonic Forces

Chapter 1129: Chapter 745: Gathering of Demonic Forces

The Yin Sha Demon Monarch and Mingquan True Monarch both belong to the "Lower Three Sects".

The sect lacks depth, with only one Nascent Soul Demon Monarch overseeing it.

The two are away from the center, close to each other, seemingly intending to form an alliance.

Shen Xuan understood in his heart.

As he expected.

The Wan Hai Demon Monarch of the Corpse Refining Sect, who has yet to appear, likely faces similar circumstances to the Yin Sha Demon Monarch and Mingquan Demon Monarch.

Lonely peaks can’t hold, strong enemies are around.

The battle tomorrow night will decide victory or defeat, and life or death.

Sufficient to change the internal situation of the Demon Sect in Liang Country.

...

The agreed battle day arrives as scheduled.

At midnight, the moon shines like a silver plate, and the stars are brilliant.

It is the time of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Wan Hai Demon Monarch arrives late.

A terrifying Nine Netherworld Dragon corpse breaks through the clouds.

On the dragon’s head, a black robe flutters.

Wan Hai Demon Monarch’s face is pale, solitary and cold, surrounded by rich gray-black corpse qi, obscuring the moon and starlight.

He does not descend, but stands on the head of the Nine Netherworld Dragon corpse, looking at the graceful figure atop the peak.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, today, I will fight with all my strength for Liang Country, even if I perish and my Dao fades, I will not hesitate."

The voice is fierce, like the cry of a night owl.

Bai Yaohua smiles gently, her gaze sweeping to her side: "This matter, Yaohua knows. Fellow Daoists Blood River and Soul Elephant know. The two Fellow Daoists Yin Sha and Mingquan also have no objection."

Blood River Demon Monarch is expressionless, Soul Elephant Demon Monarch nods slightly.

Not far away, the Yin Sha Demon Monarch and Mingquan True Monarch clasp their fists in salute.

Bai Yaohua’s smile remains unchanged, her voice icy as frost: "Wan Hai, no need to worry, do what you must. What we agree on will naturally be fulfilled."

"Good!"

Wan Hai Demon Monarch’s eyes shine brightly: "Bai Yaohua, I trust you."

Obviously, in this battle, he has proposed conditions to the other five Demon Sects in Liang Country.

The duel between Tier Four Cultivators is no small matter.

This battle is not merely between the two of them.

Nor is it merely between the Cyan Cloud Sect and Corpse Refining Sect.

Rather, it is a contest affecting the destiny of all Dao and Demon sects in Song and Liang Countries.

The outcome will surely change the structure of Dao and Demon sects in both countries.

Wan Hai Demon Monarch’s mind is clear.

Since True Master Profound Ice dares to issue a challenge, he must have reliance.

However, he has no choice but to fight.

If he avoids battle, not only will the reputation of him and Corpse Refining Sect be tarnished, becoming a laughing stock.

The five Demon Sects in Liang Country, watching like a tiger waiting for prey, would also use this as an excuse to devour Corpse Refining Sect.

Moreover, there is the behind-the-scenes Golden Spirit Race of the Demon Realm.

Not allowing him to avoid and retreat from battle.

The Golden Spirit Race sent orders through the Dark Star Alliance, heavy as mountains.

Kill True Master Profound Ice of Cyan Cloud Sect!

The Golden Spirit Race will support him to break through to the Late Stage of Demon Infant, and also give him a Demon Infant Pill and Demon for Nascent Soul Formation.

At that time, Corpse Refining Sect will have one more Demon Infant Cultivator, allowing it to stand shoulder to shoulder with Blood Evil Sect and White Bone Sect.

If it can further rely on the support of Yin Sha Sect and Netherworld Sect, entering the "Upper Three Sects" in Liang Country is not mere fantasy.

This battle now is already an arrow on the string, it must be released.

The Nine Netherworld Dragon corpse roared lowly, raising its head.

Wan Hai Demon Monarch looks down, his black robe moves without wind, corpse qi rushes to the sky!

"Profound Ice, do you dare come up and fight!"

The angry shout rolls over the peak like thunder, shaking the clouds and dispersing them.

Just as these words are spoken, a figure in a cyan robe suddenly stands up.

Shen Xuan gazes into the sky.

The stars and moon are obscured by the Nine Netherworld Dragon corpse, leaving no trace.

The night is heavy, corpse qi pervasive.

The cyan robe flutters in the night wind.

Around the peak, twelve Tier Four Cultivators, True Monarchs, Demon Emperors, Demon Monarchs from both Song and Liang, their gazes instantly gather, holding their breath in concentration.

...

Shen Xuan laughs heartily, rises into the air, and sings a long chant:

"Sword in the azure sky guards Song’s domain, clouds split and stars shake, a fearful demon shadow. Before the edge emerges, water first condenses, Ice covers a thousand miles, bones turn to frost."

After the song, Shen Xuan raises his head, directly facing Wan Hai Demon Monarch.

"Wan Hai, you do not heed destiny, defying the heavenly mandate. This moment is when you meet your tribulation!"

As soon as these words are spoken, Spiritual Qi surges violently around him!

Condensing into blossoms of Nine-Colored Immortal Lotus, unfurling and rotating, enveloping him layer by layer.

This is only the prelude.

In the depths of the Sea of Consciousness, a Treasure Lotus flies out, growing rapidly in the wind.

Nine lotus leaves blossom instantly.

Radiance flows, endless life, enveloping Shen Xuan within.

Shen Xuan appears calm and composed, yet in his heart there is no trace of negligence.

With his first move, he utilizes his ultimate protective measure, Nine-Colored Treasure Lotus Body Protection!

In the high sky, Wan Hai Demon Monarch’s face suddenly changes.

The lotus blooms, nine colors divine light spinning without cease, Dao Rhyme divine and profound.

With his Middle Stage Demon Infant cultivation, he too feels a shock to his Divine Soul, and his demonic Qi slightly stalls.

"Innate Spiritual Treasure..."

Bai Yaohua, whose realm is the highest, murmurs, eyes flashing with surprise.

The four Demon Monarchs beside her all find it hard to believe.

The Immortal Lotus is a valued treasure of Daoism.

Legend says when heaven and earth were not yet divided, a chaotic green lotus was already nurturing within.

After Pangu created heaven, the green lotus split into six holy lotuses, all top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasures with the power to create heaven and earth.

Now, the Nine-Colored Treasure Lotus revealed by Shen Xuan is clearly of the Nascent Soul Spiritual Treasure tier.

Moreover, it is formed innately, not transformed from a spiritual object.

With such an extraordinary treasure to protect, no wonder he dares to challenge the old Demon Monarch Wan Hai with his Golden Core Realm!

In the Song Country camp, Purple Maple True Monarch’s expression relaxes.

"So that’s how it is!"

True Monarch Liuyun strokes his beard and sighs, looking at Spirit Sword True Monarch beside him: "Fellow Daoist Profound Ice indeed has such creation! With this Treasure Lotus in hand, how can he fear the old Demon Monarch Wan Hai? I was worried in vain."

Spirit Sword True Monarch smiles without speaking, appearing confident and wise.

Yet inwardly he sighs.

Junior Brother Xuanbing, you hide deeply!

Holding such an Innate Spiritual Treasure, perhaps even True Monarch Qing Yun does not know.

Apparently, Junior Brother Xuanbing doesn’t even trust True Monarch Qing Yun.

If it were known he had such creation, True Monarch Qing Yun would have supported him long ago, helping him achieve Nascent Soul Formation.

Fortunately, at that time Shen Xuan was still young, not fully matured.
