Chapter 146: One Incense Stick is Not Enough
Chapter 146: One Incense Stick is Not Enough
The moonlight dimmed, falling upon the robust and muscular body of the Bull Demon, whose towering demonic aura gradually enveloped the entire Stream Platform Mountain in a crimson mist.
This was the first time Shen Yi had heard a demon refer to itself as "this king."
But this appearance had nothing to do with the Moonshriek Demon King, and the aura he felt from it was not a level higher than Jiang Qiulan's.
Nevertheless, the scene before him seemed beyond his involvement.
Suddenly, Shen Yi noticed an old dog demon standing below the tall stone throne, holding a long spear. It was easily overlooked in the shadow of the vast bull demon's body.
The dog demon exuded a formidable aura, clearly a Core Condensation Realm demon.
"..."
Shen Yi glanced discreetly behind him.
Just then, the Bull Demon noticed his presence and waved his palm dismissively, seemingly uninterested: "Go and deal with him."
Upon hearing this, the old dog demon twisted its neck and took a step forward.
The White Deer suddenly stepped forward: "Why bother with the Minor Demon King's personal intervention? I may not be good at other things, but I can run fast. Let me handle this."
There were power struggles among the demons, and outside of Qingzhou, the entire region belonged to the Moonshriek Demon King. This group of Core Condensation Realm demons were also under his command.
The Minor Demon King was a rising talent from outside the region.
The White Deer had secretly colluded with him, which was taboo, and it didn't want to be used as cannon fodder to assassinate Jiang Qiulan.
Hearing this, the Minor Demon King didn't seem to care much, as his attention remained fixed on the woman: "Do we need to catch up on old times?"
In the heart of the territory.
Jiang Qiulan's black robe fluttered slightly, her sleeves billowing as she casually let her hands hang.
Her calm expression seemed to validate her previous words.
In Qingzhou, aside from the Moonshriek Demon King,
Anyone else was the same.
Silver needles flew out from her body, suspended in the air, quickly transforming into long swords of frozen ice. At first glance, there seemed to be at least tens of thousands of them.
They gathered in the air, forming a Jade Dragon that coiled around her body.
"I need the time of one incense stick."
"Please hold on."
Hearing this, the Minor Demon King chuckled self-deprecatingly, and the simple act of him standing up caused the earth to tremble rhythmically.
He gripped a ring-headed saber as bright as a waterfall: "This is why this king didn't wait for a true breakthrough before coming for you. The taste of being so disregarded has kept this king awake all night."
Jiang Qiulan didn't pay any attention to its words. Enveloped in the Jade Dragon of ice, she calmly turned her gaze back to the young man: "One incense stick, can you do it?"
Shen Yi raised his eyebrows, staring at the White Deer approaching him, and said indifferently: "Shouldn't be a problem..."
Although he had originally planned to kill the Mountain Lord, now it was a Core Condensation Realm White Deer, which put some pressure on him, but not enough to make him fearful.
Before he finished speaking, the young man's figure instantly merged into the night, transforming into a breeze that swept away into the distance.
Until she saw this, the White Deer's casual expression suddenly became more serious. She had thought it would be an easy capture, and she just wanted the young man to run further so she could use the opportunity to slip away. Now it seemed she would have to exert some effort.
Without hesitation, the deer's four hooves stomped into the air.
Its speed was what allowed it to repeatedly escape from Jiang Qiulan.
...
The Stream Platform Mountain range was shrouded in crimson mist.
A white light descended, creating a massive crater and pulverizing the surrounding trees with its overwhelming might.
The White Deer angrily stomped its hooves, watching helplessly as the breeze drifted further away.
She had never heard of anyone in Qingzhou who could match her speed, but now, this young man seemed to be deliberately taunting her, occasionally stopping to wait.
On a distant treetop.
Shen Yi yawned out of boredom.
Even he hadn't expected that under the impetus of the Celestial Demon Outer Pill, the perfected Freedom Wind Technique would surpass even the Core Condensation Realm demons.
If it was just this, not to mention an incense stick's worth of time, as long as there was enough Demon Core to replenish, he could easily lead the White Deer back to Qingzhou City.
"How about trying to kill it?"
Currently, his Tempered Body had barely stepped into the Core Formation Perfection realm, and the Celestial Demon Outer Pill was only a step away from perfection.
Since he had nothing better to do, Shen Yi disappeared from his original spot and casually took out a Demon Core from the Silver Bell, placing it in his mouth.
【Remaining Demon Lifespan: Three thousand eight hundred and sixty-two years】
As the demon's lifespan rapidly decreased, Shen Yi paid attention to whether the White Deer had lost track of him, occasionally glancing at the panel.
It took over three hundred years to eradicate the Peacock's consciousness.
Accompanied by the sound of a peacock's cry in his mind, the Demon Core in his mouth transformed into a robust demonic power that infused his body.
Shen Yi took out the Celestial Sunbreaker Bow, and after completing the fourth transformation, he was already able to draw it at ninety percent of its power. With just one more breakthrough, the arrowhead shot from the bow, drawn like a full moon, would be enough to make a Core Condensation Demon Lord's expression change.
【Year 1302, Sable Demon Core completely exhausted...】
The higher the Celestial Demon's transformations, the more demonic power it consumed. As for the final immortal demon that would emerge, it depended on which demon's consciousness was more dominant.
This Demon Core came too easily, and even Shen Yi didn't feel any pain. He took out another Demon Core and put it in his mouth, also slowing down his pace to give the White Deer some hope.
【Year 2600, Mountain Lord Demon Core completely exhausted...】
Shen Yi's eyelids twitched slightly. Originally, among all martial arts, Body Tempering Techniques were the most familiar to him, but now they seemed increasingly excessive.
The newly obtained Demon Core was the only one left, the Golden Eagle's, which he took out and swallowed.
The three types of demonic power mixed in his body, gradually blending together with the power of life, while the remaining consciousnesses fought fiercely, like a breeding ground for evil.
Finally, a loud cry of a golden eagle pierced his mind, declaring the final victory.
【Wings stirring up a thousand layers of clouds, the golden cry startles the immortal realm, divine eyes gazing upon ten thousand miles, ears hearing in all directions, sky-patrolling flying general, hunting the vast wilderness, soul-seizing claws leaving nowhere to hide】
【Immortal Demon Fifth Transformation】
【Remaining Demon Lifespan: Three hundred and seventy-two years】
The cultivation of three Core Formation Perfection demons was now completely transformed into a part of his body.
Shen Yi stood up, his eyes emitting a brilliant light.
The mountain forest shrouded in crimson mist was now crystal clear in his vision.
He raised the Celestial Sunbreaker Bow and casually drew it, the bow drawing like a full moon, and the sun on the bow arm suddenly burst forth with an intense white radiance, as if he were truly holding a giant sun, about to break through the boundless sky.
The White Deer, which had been chasing desperately, seemed to sense something.
Its four hooves suddenly came to a halt.
The next moment, a vast white radiance from the distance instantly reached it and slammed into its body.
Under the intense radiance that shattered one's liver and gallbladder, its entire body was smashed back hundreds of zhang, and where the arrowhead passed, a bottomless gorge instantly appeared!
Until the smoke and ashes dispersed.
It stumbled and crawled up from the ground, its body filled with tearing pain. It raised its head to look at the second white radiance gradually enveloping it from the sky, and its eyes uncontrollably filled with fear.
Daring not to be careless, it exerted all its strength and leaped to the side.
Boom!!
Even the aftermath of the arrowhead was enough to send it flying into the air again.
At the same time, the incense stick's worth of time was up.
In the belly of Stream Platform Mountain, half of the mountain range suddenly collapsed downward, and crimson demon clouds rushed to the sky, escaping into the distance at an unimaginable speed, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.
The White Deer, whose internal organs had already been displaced by the white radiance, had just spat out a mouthful of blood and witnessed this scene.
Its body trembled, and it suddenly turned its gaze forward.
There, the ever-evading breeze now revealed a tall figure, holding a bow and indifferently aiming at its heart.
