Chapter 589: Demigod's Intervention (6k Combined)



After injuring Meng Xinghe, Chu Ning did not immediately launch another attack. Instead, he turned his gaze towards Luo Duanhai, who was now approaching.

Luo Duanhai, the Grand Elder of Ten Thousand Demon Sect, had not attacked immediately after Chu Ning severely injured Meng Xinghe.

Apparently, he was unwilling to be the only one in a dire situation.

"Good! Very good!"

Only now did Luo Duanhai grit his teeth and shout.

"Luo is indeed ignorant and narrow-minded, I never knew that there would be such a genius under the heavens!

Let's go and die!"

As Luo Duanhai roared, the devil heads surrounding him suddenly detached from his body.

They rushed towards Chu Ning in a menacing assault.

Each devil head carried demonic energy, forming an army of ten thousand demons.

The entire sea was instantly filled with overwhelming demonic energy.

Seeing this, many cultivators' faces changed slightly.

"These demons in the Ten Thousand Demons Body Devouring Technique are nurtured by the essence of the cultivator who practices this art.

They have devoured countless demonic energies, heavenly treasures, and even the essence blood of monsters and beasts.

The demons driven by Luo Duanhai at this moment are probably the culmination of his life's efforts! Unless one has reached the Demigod Realm, it would be difficult to resist."

Just as many cultivators were marveling at this, they were astonished to see Chu Ning flying out from within the Earth Rhino Dragon.

What surprised everyone even more was that he flew right in front of the Earth Rhino Dragon.

Judging by the situation, he seemed to be confronting Luo Duanhai's Ten Thousand Demons directly.

"Could it be that the secret technique he used to merge with the spirit beast is no longer effective?"

As everyone speculated, Chu Ning, who had just flown out, had already taken back the Five Elements Spirit Sword and the Yellow Wind Banner.

The Yellow Wind Banner was thrown out, transforming into a yellow Earth Dragon, which charged towards the countless demons.

At the same time, the Five Elements Spirit Sword in Chu Ning's hand emitted a dazzling radiant light and shot out.

The next moment, it split into five, following the Yellow Wind Banner and slashing towards the demons.

Simultaneously, the Mystic Turtle Shield outside Chu Ning's body was immediately activated.

As the shield spun and enveloped him, no one noticed that Chu Ning's body was also emitting streaks of golden light.

Chu Ning had just discovered this after receiving an attack from Luo Duanhai.

His Immortal Golden Shield could also extend to cover the Earth Rhino Dragon, but its power seemed slightly diminished.

He realized that not all secret techniques had a synergistic effect.

Facing Luo Duanhai's Ten Thousand Demons attack, he decisively chose to temporarily release the Beast Spirit Technique.

After all, he was too familiar with dealing with these demons! At this moment, the Earth Dragon formed by the Yellow Wind Banner devoured a small group of demons, swallowing them into its belly.

It then flashed and reverted to its banner form, but the talismans on it were flashing, indicating the operation of an array.

"This Yellow Wind Banner was originally created by ancient cultivators to deal with foreign devils.

Back then, outside the Sky Margin Grassland, it could even devour and refine the demon souls of foreign devils.

These demons can naturally be refined as well!"

With a thought, Chu Ning recalled the Yellow Wind Banner.

As the Yellow Wind Banner was withdrawn, the Five Elements Spirit Sword followed closely.

The five spirit swords, infused with Black Xuanjin, now glowed with various radiant lights.

Wherever they passed, the demon heads let out miserable screams before dissipating into nothingness.

Seeing this, Luo Duanhai's face changed drastically.

However, at this moment, he had indeed made up his mind.

He continuously pinched the incantation gestures, condensing a black law seal in front of him.

Then, he bit his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of essence blood onto the law seal.

The law seal shot towards the Ten Thousand Demons Array.

The demon heads seemed to have received a boost, and their power surged.

Moreover, there were too many demon heads, even the Five Elements Spirit Sword couldn't eliminate them all.

More than half of the demon heads rushed towards Chu Ning.

The Mystic Turtle Shield, a top-tier defensive treasure worthy of being called a Spirit Treasure, spun continuously.

Each demon was instantly struck and rebounded.

Seeing that these demons couldn't break through Chu Ning's defense, the cultivators present were shocked.

Chu Ning's various offensive abilities were already impressive.

But now, even his defense was this powerful, leaving everyone in awe.

Just then, a low humming sound suddenly reverberated across the entire sea.

The sound seemed to come from the heavens, and with it, a strong hurricane formed around Chu Ning, blasting towards him.

The seawater below Chu Ning was stirred up by the hurricane, creating towering waves!

"It's the Wind Dragon Roar of Heaven's First Sect!"

The cultivators' gazes turned towards the figure flying out from the sea.

It could only be Meng Xinghe from Heaven's First Sect.

The Earth Rhino Dragon seemed to have noticed this as well and transformed into a yellow light, charging straight towards Meng Xinghe.

However, at this moment, Meng Xinghe's Wind Dragon Roar had already taken shape.

The hurricane in the air condensed into a dragon, pouncing towards Chu Ning!

Seeing this from a distance, Luo Duanhai's heart stirred.

The demons that had just been repelled by the Mystic Turtle Shield no longer launched attacks; instead, they retreated a distance.

Just as they withdrew, the hurricane-transformed Wind Dragon rushed forward and struck the Mystic Turtle Shield.

The Mystic Turtle Shield no longer spun; instead, it transformed into a massive shield, blocking the Wind Dragon's path.

The Wind Dragon slammed heavily into the Mystic Turtle Shield, and the shield seemed to transform into a giant turtle, meeting the dragon head-on.

The Wind Dragon and the giant turtle entangled, and in the next moment, they both disintegrated!

The Wind Dragon disappeared, but the Mystic Turtle Shield also rapidly shrank, and the spiritual energy on its surface dimmed slightly.

"Now's the time!"

Upon seeing this, Luo Duanhai's mind stirred.

The demons that had initially retreated a short distance now rushed forward again.

Each demon opened its massive mouth, as if ready to devour Chu Ning.

"This man is finished!!"

As they witnessed Chu Ning's external Mystic Turtle Shield being broken, the countless demons launched their attack.

At this moment, the Primordial Soul Cultivators on the sea's surface couldn't help but reveal a complex expression in their eyes.

The demons controlled by Luo Duanhai not only threatened their physical bodies but also posed a danger to their Primordial Souls, which could be devoured completely.

Many cultivators on the Skylid Continent had met such a fate before.

Luo Duanhai's injured Essence Energy could be replenished by having these demons consume the others, restoring his strength entirely.

This was the reason for the fleeting joy on Luo Duanhai's face at this moment.

As for the faint golden shield surrounding Chu Ning, neither Luo Duanhai nor the other cultivators paid it much attention.

But in the next moment, something happened that left everyone stunned.

The demons, which had just been repelled by the powerful Mystic Turtle Shield, now touched Chu Ning's golden shield.

One by one, they let out miserable screams and vanished.

Within a single breath, two to three-tenths of the numerous demons had been eliminated.

Luo Duanhai, watching from a distance, paled.

However, his eyes also flashed with a cold light.

"I don't believe that your shield can withstand the devouring of ten thousand demons!"

At this moment, Luo Duanhai didn't choose to have the demons retreat.

Instead, he commanded them to continue their attack.

But soon, he regretted this decision.

The demons, one after another, rushed towards the golden shield.

Not only did they fail to devour the shield, but they also disappeared one by one.

Within a few breaths, the demons, which were the culmination of his life's efforts, were reduced to less than three-tenths of their original number.

Luo Duanhai finally panicked and decided to withdraw the remaining demons.

However, Chu Ning wasn't about to give him that chance.

As the demons tried to escape, Chu Ning took the initiative and approached them, his body enveloped in an immortal golden shield.

Simultaneously, he swung his fists, dispersing the demons one by one.

Some demons managed to escape, but before they could fly far, five spirit swords flew towards them.

After a round of slashes, the once-numerous demons were completely annihilated.

With his secret technique broken, Luo Duanhai's face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood, clearly indicating severe Essence Energy damage.

On the other side, Meng Xinghe was also in a dire situation.

Previously, to maximize the attack's damage on Chu Ning and avoid interrupting the Dragon Roar of the Wind, Meng Xinghe had chosen not to defend himself against the Earth Rhino Dragon. Instead, he focused on evading its attacks.

However, the Earth Rhino Dragon transformed into a middle-aged man holding a giant hammer, and its speed increased significantly.

As Meng Xinghe finished the Dragon Roar of the Wind, the Earth Rhino Dragon had already reached his side.

The hammer struck down fiercely!

Although Meng Xinghe managed to activate his defense at the last moment, it was too rushed, and he couldn't withstand the full-power strike of a Ten-Tier Earth Rhino Dragon aided by a magical treasure.

His body fell to the sea's surface once again under the force of the hammer.

His face turned deathly pale.

The cultivators on the sea's surface were astonished.

They watched the youth standing in mid-air, and every one of them revealed a horrified expression.

The top elders of the two major forces of gods and demons, using their sect's secret techniques, had not only failed to injure Chu Ning but were instead severely wounded by him, and now they were about to be counter-killed.

As the cultivators saw Chu Ning preparing to launch another attack, many of them couldn't help but reveal a hint of strangeness in their eyes.

They were well aware that if Chu Ning launched this attack, the two most renowned late-stage Primordial Soul Cultivators on the Skylid Continent might perish.

Just then, Chu Ning's expression changed slightly.

In the next moment, a white light flashed on the beast spirit ring in his hand.

The Earth Rhino Dragon, which had been nearby, instantly appeared before Chu Ning.

The two immediately transformed into shadows and merged once again.

As Chu Ning displayed his beast spirit technique, an elderly man with white hair appeared before him.

The man formed an incredibly profound law seal with his hands, and as he struck out, it was about to fall upon the Earth Rhino Dragon controlled by Chu Ning.

At this moment, a gray-robed elder appeared out of thin air.

He clasped his palms forward, and a light curtain blocked the attack.

The next moment, the law seal and the light curtain collided with a loud boom.

Boom!!!

In the sky, it was as if a thunderous explosion had just sounded.

As the law seal and light curtain vanished, a powerful shockwave emerged in the air.

Chu Ning and the Earth Rhino Dragon, who had used the Beast Spirit Technique, were sent flying dozens of zhang away by the impact before they could stabilize their bodies.

The next moment, the Earth Rhino Dragon's body flickered.

Chu Ning flew out from its body.

Under the impact of the shockwave, Chu Ning's Beast Spirit Technique was unexpectedly broken.

This sudden turn of events startled all the cultivators, leaving them wide-eyed in disbelief.

However, as everyone focused their gaze, their expressions changed.

"It's the Venerable Spirit Wind from Heaven's First Sect and that mysterious Demi-God expert!"

Appearing in the air at this moment were the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle and the Liao surname Demi-God cultivator from Heaven's First Sect.

Chu Ning's face also changed slightly, as he had anticipated this.

But the immense power of a casual strike from a Demi-God still startled Chu Ning greatly.

At this moment, Chu Ning naturally wouldn't consider attacking.

With a thought, several of his life-bound treasures were retrieved.

The Spirit Flame that had trapped the life-bound treasures of Meng Xinghe and Luo Duanhai now transformed into two escaping lights, one purple and one blue, and flew into Chu Ning's hands.

Meng Xinghe and Luo Duanhai's life-bound treasures were both quite powerful.

Chu Ning had just used his Zi Yang Spirit Flame and Xuan Yin Blue Flame to trap their treasures.

He had almost exhausted the flames he had cultivated within his body, leaving only two sparks on his body.

It would take a significant amount of time and energy to cultivate these flames again.

Chu Ning was well aware that with the appearance of a Demi-God, the situation here was no longer within his control.

Naturally, he didn't want to suffer such losses.

Just as Chu Ning retrieved the two types of flames, another figure with a cold expression appeared in the air.

It was the Demi-God cultivator from the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, the Dark Demon.

His gaze fixed on Chu Ning, filled with murderous intent.

Chu Ning's heart couldn't help but tremble.

At this moment, the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle's leisurely voice sounded.

"Fellow Daoists, attacking a junior like this is rather impolite!"

Hearing the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle's words, the Venerable Spirit Wind and the Dark Demon didn't immediately make their move, but their gazes remained locked onto Chu Ning.

At the same time, the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle spoke to Chu Ning again:

"Chu Xiaoyou, could you tell us what happened?"

With the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle backing him up, Chu Ning had no reservations and immediately explained the situation.

After listening, the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle chuckled.

"I was wondering what was going on, and it turns out that the two great elders of the strongest sects on the Skylid Continent wanted to gang up on someone, only to be taught a lesson in the end."

Saying this, the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle looked at the Venerable Spirit Wind and the Dark Demon with a playful expression.

"Fellow Daoists, it seems like the ones who acted unreasonably were your juniors!"

The Venerable Spirit Wind and the Dark Demon had only witnessed the Earth Rhino Dragon and Chu Ning injuring others.

They were unaware of the events that had transpired earlier.

Hearing Chu Ning's explanation, their gazes shifted to Meng Xinghe and Luo Duanhai.

Meng Xinghe and Luo Duanhai were both shocked and furious, but their faces revealed unnatural expressions.

They didn't dare speak directly but instead communicated with the Venerable Spirit Wind and the Dark Demon through sound transmission.

After all, the recent events had been a huge loss of face for them.

After confirming with Meng Xinghe and Luo Duanhai, the Venerable Spirit Wind and the Dark Demon's faces also flickered with surprise.

They glanced at Chu Ning, who was only at the mid-stage Nascent Soul, and then their gazes fell upon the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle.

Even if Chu Ning was at the mid-stage Nascent Soul with exceptional mystical powers and secret techniques, they had no concerns.

With their attack, Chu Ning's death was certain.

However, the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle, with an equally mysterious background as Chu Ning, made them hesitate.

They didn't know the true strength of the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle.

At the Demi-God level, even if they joined forces, it would be challenging to kill or even stop the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle from leaving.

Even if they killed or left Chu Ning behind.

If the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle were determined to cause trouble, it would be enough to give Heaven's First Sect and the Ten Thousand Demon Sect a headache.

The Cangxuan Sacred Turtle, seeing that the two hadn't spoken further, understood their hesitation.

He smiled lightly once more and turned to Chu Ning, saying, "Let's go, young friend!"

Chu Ning, of course, was eager to leave immediately.

He had indeed sensed the immense power from the Venerable Spirit Wind and the Dark Demon.

He nodded and then directly flew away.

The Cangxuan Sacred Turtle waited for Chu Ning to fly a hundred zhang away before following.

Their speed was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had disappeared into the sky.

At this moment, the Dark Demon's eyebrows furrowed, and he looked at the Venerable Spirit Wind.

"Liao, you exchanged blows with him earlier. Did you find out anything about his background?"

The Venerable Spirit Wind's expression remained calm as he shook his head.

"The time was too short, and I didn't use my killing moves, so I couldn't discern anything.

However, his mana is quite peculiar; it doesn't seem like a cultivator's mana but rather the spirit energy of a demon."

Hearing the Venerable Spirit Wind's words, Meng Xinghe exclaimed, "He's indeed not a cultivator but an ancient Cangxuan Sacred Turtle!"

Earlier, Meng Xinghe had already suspected the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle.

After all, when they were at the Nine Transformations Palace, Lu Xuedao and Fan Zeixian had mentioned that there might be a Cangxuan Sacred Turtle by Chu Ning's side.

However, with his cultivation, he couldn't possibly discern the identity of the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle.

Upon hearing Venerable Spirit Wind's words, they immediately confirmed it.

"Cangxuan Sacred Turtle!"

Hearing Meng Xinghe's words, Venerable Spirit Wind and the Dark Demon exchanged a glance.

In their hearts, they were somewhat relieved that they hadn't acted recklessly earlier.

With the Sacred Turtle's lifespan, no one knew how many years this turtle had cultivated.

Although they were both at the Demigod Realm, the two of them didn't have absolute confidence in victory.

If Meng Xinghe and Luo Duanhai were defeated by a Mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and they were to make a mistake,

The reputation of Heaven's First Sect and Ten Thousand Demon Sect on the Skylid Continent would likely plummet.

Meng Xinghe didn't hide anything at this moment and directly revealed the information that Lu Xuedao and Fan Zeixian had told him about Chu Ning and the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle.

"The Northern Cold Land! I never expected that such a relatively unprosperous cultivation ground would produce such an extraordinary talent!"

Venerable Spirit Wind first glanced at Meng Xinghe, then swept his gaze across all the Primordial Soul Cultivators.

"I never thought that our Skylid Continent, known as the inheritance ground of the Immortal Cultivation World, would have so many cultivators, yet be suppressed by a single person.

It's shocking that our sect and the Ten Thousand Demon Sect's Grand Elder couldn't defeat this Chu cultivator.

However, if it were any of you here, who would have the confidence to withstand this person's attack? Fellow cultivators, if you have the chance to encounter him in the future, you must kill him, or else, once he grows stronger,

I fear the entire Skylid Continent will be trampled under his feet!"

With a few light words, Venerable Spirit Wind casually brushed off Meng Xinghe and Luo Duanhai's defeat.

He also pushed Chu Ning to the opposing side of all the cultivators on the Skylid Continent.

The numerous cultivators present listened with various expressions on their faces.

Today, Meng Xinghe and Luo Duanhai had taken action.

The news that the two of them, working together, had been defeated by a Mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would soon spread throughout the entire Skylid Continent.

However, this probably wouldn't affect the reputations of these two top-tier Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators much.

Everyone would only hold Chu Ning in higher regard.

After all, what Venerable Spirit Wind said made sense; Meng Xinghe and Luo Duanhai's strength had long been recognized.

Even with their combined efforts, they couldn't do anything to Chu.

If it were other cultivators, how could they possibly fare better?

As for Venerable Spirit Wind's last statement, everyone heard it, but no one took it to heart.

With Chu Ning's displayed cultivation today, unless several Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators joined forces,

Or a Demigod Realm cultivator intervened, who could possibly kill him?

At this moment, the numerous cultivators were instead relieved that they hadn't antagonized Chu Ning.

Although Venerable Spirit Wind didn't possess mind-reading abilities, he could easily guess the thoughts of the many Primordial Soul cultivators present.

With a faint gaze, he swept his eyes over the crowd once more, then turned to look at the direction where the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain had collapsed.

He spoke with a hint of implication:

"It's better to lose face than to lose one's life. This time, with the opening of the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain, many cultivators have perished.

The Northern Cold Land cultivators have shown their might, and Foreign Devils have appeared. Who knows how many cultivators have fallen, shaking the foundations of their sects.

It seems the Skylid Continent is about to undergo another major change. Fellow cultivators, take care of yourselves!"

As he spoke, he summoned a treasure and, together with Meng Xinghe, flew away using an evasion technique.

"Change! Change! We can't let the heavens change!"

At this moment, the Dark Demon let out a strange laugh.

"Fellow cultivators of the Demon Dao, three months from now, I'll be waiting at the Ten Thousand Demon Sect to discuss important matters.

By then, I believe the truth about the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain will also be revealed."

After leaving these words, the Dark Demon also summoned a treasure and flew away with the heavily injured Luo Duanhai.

Only the numerous Primordial Soul cultivators remained, discussing the matter.

"Have the Foreign Devils really reappeared?"

"Has a sect's foundation been shaken? Could it be that many Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators have fallen?"

...

Those who had gone to the Spirit Mountain Cliff had some guesses.

However, there were also many cultivators who hadn't gone to the Spirit Mountain Cliff and were now hearing the news.

Upon learning that six Demigod Realm cultivators had gathered at the Spirit Mountain Cliff and the events that had transpired,

Many cultivators couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement.

"To attract six Demigod Realm cultivators, it seems only the legendary..."

At this moment, cultivators who knew about the Immortal Seed began to speculate.

Subsequently, the numerous cultivators, each with different expressions, left one by one.

This area, which had gathered the top cultivators of the Skylid Continent a month ago, became quiet again after the commotion.

The various events that occurred during the opening of the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain spread throughout the entire Skylid Continent at an astonishing speed.

Along with this, the news of Chu Ning's valiant battle against two top-tier Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators also spread.

Chu Ning's name also became known among all the top-tier sects and Primordial Soul cultivators on the Skylid Continent.
