Chapter 584: Breakthrough to Heaven Realm, the True Divine Ability

Chapter 584: Breakthrough to Heaven Realm, the True Divine Ability

The Sacred Mountain Tranquil Sky Technique, perfected to its utmost, had been thoroughly studied by Shen Yi, who discovered numerous variations.

For instance, using this blue sky to conceal one's figure was even more effective than other breath-concealing techniques.

He no longer needed to search for a secluded, uninhabited place before gathering spirit rocks, as he had done in the past.

"Hmm."

Shen Yi hid within the blue sky, regulating his breathing. It had been a long time since he had anticipated the birth of a spirit rock so eagerly.

Not to mention whether it could further assist the gestation in the Ten Thousand Demons Western Palace.

This Cold Mountain Ancestor was a Greater Demon of the Mid Heaven Realm, and he had almost exhausted all his means, even relying on the Sacred Mountain Tranquil Sky Technique and the Demon Emperor Armament, to defeat his opponent.

Shen Yi was actually more accustomed to close-quarters combat, but this time, he maintained his distance from start to finish, never truly engaging with the Cold Mountain Ancestor, as he lacked confidence in gaining the upper hand against the terrifying demon body of this ancestor.

Such a formidable general, even surpassing the Great Elder Ke Shisan!

Thinking of this, Shen Yi no longer hesitated. He transformed the still-warm corpse into a sea of blood and poured it into the spirit rock, while his divine consciousness stirred slightly, and one by one, flashing demon origins appeared and floated out.

A total of forty-seven demon origins were required to reshape the soul of this Greater Demon and completely subdue it.

[Remaining Demon Life Span: 5,380,000 years]



Looking at the remaining demon life span, Shen Yi no longer felt the sense of security he had before. Although the demon life span seemed incredibly abundant, in reality, without causing too much upheaval and avoiding being noticed by Northern Flood, it would be difficult for him to increase this number to the next level.

After all, even the Greater Demons of Western Flood had perished in this place.

If he wanted to continue accumulating life spans, slaughtering the Dragon Palace was inevitable.

However, the Southern Dragon King was protected by the Dragon Den, and if the situation became stalemated, without being able to swiftly resolve it, the opponent would surely find a way to send news to the Hongze Immortal. Instead, it would alert this Immortal to Shen Yi's peculiarities.

It seemed like a dead end...

If there was no way to fill the vacancy left by the Great Seal in the Ten Thousand Demons Hall and control the power of the entire Southern Flood, Shen Yi couldn't think of anything he could use to confront the White Rhino guarding Hongze, let alone the Immortal behind this treasure.

"Forget it, I'll take it one step at a time."

He lowered his gaze, restraining himself from looking up to glimpse the massive white rhino behind the heavenly curtain.

Even with control over Southern Flood, it was only one-fourth of the entire region, and his strength was still far from being able to face the treasure of the white rhino.

Across from Shen Yi, the Cold Mountain Ancestor slowly opened his eyes.

This terrifying demon, who had survived the tribulation, finally became a member of the Ten Thousand Demons Western Palace.

"Cold Mountain... pay respects to my master!"

As his voice echoed, it transformed into a stream of light and flowed into the Western Palace, resembling the Left and Right Protectors standing at the side of the enormous throne. Its body slowly emerged from the thick black mist, taking shape.

At the same time, within the Nanyang Holy Land.

The three lifeless stone statues placed by Shen Yi in the grand hall on the mountain peak, the smallest one among them, suddenly opened its eyes, revealing a hint of pain in its vertical pupils.

"Sir..."

An Yi's voice, rarely trembling, conveyed the agony she was enduring. The fact that even after enduring ten thousand years of torment in the Treasure Moon Tomb, to the point of wishing for death, she still expressed such emotions, was sufficient to show the terrible pain she was experiencing!

Over a dozen spirit rocks of Greater Demons at the Dao Fusion Realm were scattered throughout Southern Flood, and almost simultaneously, they formed into black mist, taking shape and standing solemnly below the throne, their misty bodies extending towards the throne, eventually merging into a shadowy figure with a tiger's head and a human body.

At this moment, the Ten Thousand Demons Western Palace finally exuded a heavy aura of solemn killing intent!

"..."

Shen Yi closed his eyes and focused inward, gradually understanding the true intent of the Ten Thousand Demons Hall.

These Western Palace demons were An Yi's restorative medicine, replenishing her bloodline, allowing the gestation to truly evolve.

And she, in turn, was his restorative medicine.

The entire Ten Thousand Demons Hall was like a gigantic pill furnace, and whether it was the Palace Lord or the spirit rocks, they were all just ingredients for the grand pill. Their existence held meaning only to be eventually digested by him.

Now that the pill had been formed, it was time to open the furnace.

In the grand hall atop the mountain peak of the Nanyang Holy Land.

An Yi's body began to convulse, and strands of hair started to grow. Her entire face bore numerous traces of the tiger demon.

She stumbled to her feet, and before she could take two steps, she fell to her knees on the ground.

"Roar!"

An Yi let out a mournful shriek filled with sobs, causing Ke Shisan and Yu Lan, standing nearby, to open their eyes with a hint of reluctance.

Although they were fallen demons, they had been colleagues for so long that there was still some affection between them.

"Keep your voice down, don't let them hear you."

In An Yi's ear, a familiar calm voice resonated, and a tall figure formed from black mist stood in front of her with its hands hanging by its sides.

Although her figure was blurry and her face unrecognizable, she still instantly recognized him with a hint of bewilderment, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz, "Sir... are you here to keep your promise?"

The promise he made to her before her death was kept here.

"You're overthinking it."

Shen Yi glanced at her, bent down to pick up her palm, and casually slipped on a golden bracelet. "Endure it, it'll be over soon."

This was the truth.

What he needed was the Divine Ability nurtured in the Western Palace, not to actually devour these Demon Spirit Rocks alive.

Of course, if An Yi couldn't hold on and her divine soul shattered, it would truly become a case of "saving the small but not the big."

"..."

An Yi stared blankly at the golden bracelet on her wrist. She remembered that the last time, the master also planned to give this bracelet to that extremely beautiful girl, but in the end, he gave it to her.

She bit her lip, suddenly feeling that the pain wasn't completely unbearable, and she whispered, "Thank you for my master's grace."

"You're welcome."

Shen Yi straightened up, looking at the little tiger demon kneeling before him, his gaze falling on the other's forehead.

There, a light of dark and white was slowly emerging.

After an unknown amount of time, the light finally detached from An Yi's body, floating in the air and transforming into a sphere the size of a pigeon egg.

"Hmm."

Shen Yi took a deep breath and gently touched the sphere with his palm.

In an instant, a vast aura instantly poured into his body, formed from black mist, merging with his divine soul.

Shen Yi closed his eyes, digesting this dark and white light sphere.

After a moment, he murmured, "Supreme Nether Mansion."

Witness life and death, grasp yin and yang, comprehend reincarnation.

Crossing the Yellow Springs is difficult, but the severance is inevitable.

Open the Dark and Mysterious Grand Manor, and rule over the nine abysses!

Ordinary Divine Abilities are derived from Daoist Techniques, but this Supreme Nether Mansion obviously evolved from that Yin Yang Mystic Pendant.

The effects are also extremely similar, both related to divine soul techniques.

As for the specific usage, perhaps it still needs to be carefully studied.

In an instant, the tall figure formed from black mist quickly dissipated in the Nanyang Holy Land.

An Yi quietly crawled up from the ground, rubbing her golden bracelet, and returned to her previous position, transforming back into a Spirit Rock.

"What are you looking at?" Ke Shisan glanced at Yu Lan and noticed a hint of envy in the Southern Palace Lord's eyes.

"You must be thinking you have the same treatment," he found it quite amusing and couldn't help but tease her.

"Why not? My master is the most fair." Yu Lan glared back, feeling slightly resentful.

"Fair is fair, but this little guy hasn't killed anyone, have you?" Ke Shisan, having followed Shen Yi for so long, naturally understood why An Yi was receiving such special treatment.

"You—" Yu Lan was taken aback, rolled her eyes, and didn't bother to argue, instead closing her eyes and turning back into a Spirit Rock.

Just as the two Palace Lords were bickering.

Shen Yi, in the Blue Sky, opened his eyes.

He maintained a cross-legged sitting posture, and behind him, a dark and mysterious grand manor slowly revealed itself, seemingly imbued with a captivating power that made it hard to look away.

Shen Yi carefully sensed the changes in his aura, and after a moment, he confirmed that he had truly entered the Heaven Realm level.

Although he had already experienced the strength of the Heaven Realm with the help of Sacred Mountain Tranquil Sky Technique, he still couldn't contain the joy in his heart at this moment.

His previous guess was now personally confirmed.

As long as this path was open, he could continue walking it.

Shen Yi retracted his Divine Ability and was about to remove the Blue Sky's concealment, intending to descend to Xuan Yue City, but his gaze fell on the waters.

Roar!

A dragon's roar filled with killing intent reverberated from below, sweeping across the entire Southern Flood.

"This..."

Deng Xiangjun, holding a Dao Token and waiting near Xuan Yue City, also heard the dragon's roar.

After sensing the powerful demon power contained within, the shock and joy in his heart quickly faded, and he became much calmer.

He had almost been overwhelmed by Shen Zongzhu's terrifying advancement, forgetting about the existence of that old dragon.

Killing Cold Mountain Ancestor would indeed resolve the Southern Flood's current crisis, but it wouldn't actually harm the Southern Dragon Palace's foundation; it would only reset the situation to its initial state.

With Shen Zongzhu's presence, the Southern Seven Sons would surely win, but not yet.

After the previous feast, Ye Jiu had already proven himself, demonstrating his ability to independently counter the Southern Dragon King without the influence of the Dragon Den.

But being able to counter didn't mean being able to kill this old dragon; Ye Jiu alone wasn't enough.

The Southern Dragon King was clearly in a state of extreme rage and might act impulsively.

Zhen Yi and his group wanted to devise a strategy to minimize losses and needed to return to the sect to discuss further.

"Shen Zongzhu, should we go back and find them to have a chat?"

As the dragon's roar faded, Deng Xiangjun saw Shen Yi's figure deep in thought. Seeing this, he wasn't worried; instead, he felt a hint of joy.

This showed that Shen Zongzhu was still rational and hadn't become arrogant due to his sudden increase in strength.

Among the Southern Seven, Ye Jiu had already revealed his sharp edge, acting recklessly without considering the consequences. Compared to having another similar person, they needed someone calm and collected, someone who could grasp this Heavenly Sword and lead the Seven Sons forward steadily.

For instance, Senior Apprentice Qin from back then.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

This dragon's roar served as a reminder for him to seriously consider how to lure out and eliminate this old dragon.

For such matters, the senior members of the alliance sects surely had more experience, and it was indeed necessary to discuss it thoroughly.

Unfortunately, it wasn't possible right now.

Based on what he saw at the previous banquet, the Southern Dragon King hadn't been this furious even in that situation. Now, with this prolonged roar, it could only mean one thing—his guess was correct.

In a brief moment of mental movement, over ten Attain Dao Realm Greater Demons Spirit Rocks distributed across the Southern Flood began to act, diligently searching for the underwater aura.

Soon, the old ape returned with a message.

"Reporting to my master, I've found it."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi no longer hesitated. He directly bid farewell to Wu Shuang Zongzhu beside him, "Senior Deng, I have something to take care of. I'll be back soon."

If he really let Qi Zhaoyi return to the Western Flood, where would he find another isolated Heavenly Realm Greater Demon?

"Ah?"

Before Deng Xiangjun could react, she watched as the Ink Robe figure disappeared from her sight.

Just moments ago, he had praised the other's composure in his heart, but now he could only stare blankly, holding up the Dao Token and muttering with a bitter expression, "At least you could've brought this along..."

Deng Xiangjun couldn't understand why, even with Cold Mountain Ancestor's fall, someone would dare to provoke their Shen Zongzhu at this time.

...

In the waters of the Southern Flood, two figures swiftly soared, hurrying towards the Western Flood.

"Brother Ke, we had many misunderstandings before. I'm a straightforward person, so don't take it to heart."

Qi Zhaoyi sighed, suddenly breaking the silence.

"If you want to laugh, just laugh. There's no need to hide it." Ke Family Prince glanced at him with disdain. At this moment, having offended both his father and the Seven Sons, he had no place in the Southern Flood. He must find a new place immediately.

As for Qi Zhaoyi, although he had lost many Demon Armaments and some face, he had gained a Heavenly Realm ally. Without a way back, how could he not be delighted?

"Since you've made your intentions clear, I'll speak frankly."

Qi Zhaoyi's thoughts were exposed, but he wasn't angry. "Your Southern Dragon Palace is too weak because your father is too timid. What's there to fight over in this remote, desolate Southern Flood?"

He scoffed, "Now that my father has awakened, that Eastern Lady will have to restrain herself. If you help me, once I ascend to the Crown Prince Throne and enter the Dragon Den, you'll be half the Western Flood Dragon King. I'll give you whatever you want!"

"Whatever you want..."

Ke Family Prince looked at him meaningfully, "Even if I want Zixuan?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhaoyi was taken aback but then grinned viciously, "Of course... it's not just her. I'll also help you get rid of the grudges you hold in the Southern Flood!"

"That Shen guy is only something in your Southern Flood. Once he leaves this remote place, what is he? Does he dare to come out and see for himself?"

"The precondition is that you genuinely devote yourself to helping me, even if it means risking your life." Qi Zhaoyi looked at him seriously.

"..."

Ke Family Prince fell silent, then smiled casually, "I'm just joking. Don't take it to heart."

This Qi Zhaoyi had no skills, but he had grand ambitions.

However, only with such an existence would he have to rely on himself, as anyone with eyes in the Western Dragon Palace wouldn't willingly follow such a useless person.

He didn't believe Qi Zhaoyi could help him take revenge, but using the Western Flood as a temporary refuge to prepare for entering the Northern Flood later was a good choice.

For now, let's head to the Western Flood first.

Ke Family Prince lifted his gaze and looked ahead; the outline of Treasure Flower Sect was already visible. After passing this place, he could truly put down the grudges in his heart.

The world was vast, and he had only lost once. There were plenty of opportunities to turn things around!

Shen, just wait for me!
