Chapter 821: The Demoness's Gaze, Fourth Layer Nascent Soul
Chapter 821: The Demoness's Gaze, Fourth Layer Nascent Soul
Boom!
A deafening explosion shook the heavens and the earth.
A colossal demonic beast plummeted from the sky, its speed so rapid that the friction ignited intense flames around it.
From a distance, it resembled a meteor falling from the sky.
The already shattered Tyrant Blade Domain was further devastated by the beast's fall, causing the earth to tremble once more.
Countless spirit veins on the verge of collapse, both high and low-level, shattered in an instant, unleashing an unimaginable surge of spiritual energy that swept through the surroundings.
Without hesitation, Luo Chen and the others harnessed their flying lights and soared into the sky.
Just then,
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Twelve blood-red flags transformed into streams of light and soared into the sky.
A figure holding a white, jade-like broken horn descended from the heavens with grace.
It was none other than Ling Tian City Lord!
Upon his appearance, he didn't speak but instead fixed his gaze on a certain area of empty space with utmost seriousness.
own perception.
The light in that area was distorted, and the void seemed to be in turmoil.
A figure, like a proud and cold moon, gradually emerged from the shadows.
"Demon Emperor Qingshuang!"
The four words were coldly uttered by Ling Tian City Lord.
As they fell upon those around him, they felt as if they were enveloped in a cold, icy frost, and the boiling blood brought about by the great battle instantly cooled down.
The legend of this demoness was the most renowned in a hundred years!
Perhaps some were indignant, but after personally facing Demon Emperor Qingshuang, even the mighty Nine Spirit Lord could only remain silent at this moment.
The woman stood there alone, seemingly abandoned.
However, facing seven Nascent Soul True Men, she remained impassive, showing no trace of fear.
S
Everyone felt something amiss, and their gazes turned to the white-robed man standing beside the Nine Spirit Lord.
Luo Chen's eyebrows furrowed, and he took a deep breath before looking back.
He didn't flinch or dodge!
As their eyes met, Qingshuang barely perceptibly pursed her lips, then reached out and pushed to the side.
It was as if she had opened a door, and she walked through it in a strange manner, completely disappearing from sight.
From start to finish, she didn't utter a single word.
But as she left, it was as if a heavy burden had been lifted from everyone's hearts, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Jin Ling seemed to dislike that feeling and spoke harshly, "The demoness is so arrogant, treating us as if we don't exist!"
Fu Lao sighed, "According to rumors, this demoness is a once-in-a-millennium genius in the Eastern Wilderness Demon Race, or even the entire Mountain Sea World. She achieved the late Nascent Soul Realm at the age of two hundred, and her combat prowess is unmatched. With such astonishing talent and beauty, it's only natural to be a little proud."
Li Guozhu's sharp eyes showed a hint of confusion, "On her, I can't find any flaws or openings to exploit, nor can I find a chance to strike."
The Nine Spirit Lord held his left arm and pursed his lips, remaining silent.
But in his pupils, there was a hint of fear.
Since he had cultivated the Great Nine Heavens River technique, he believed he was no weaker than any great cultivator!
H
However, after a brief encounter with Demon Emperor Qingshuang, that confidence was shattered, just like... an ant trying to shake a tree?
What was lacking? Or was it a difference in cultivation realms?
If he were to reach the seventh layer of the Nascent Soul Realm and enter the late stage, would he be able to fight her again?
As he thought about the late Nascent Soul Realm... the Nine Spirit Lord turned to look at Ling Tian City Lord.
The other party was a late-stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivator from a sacred land of cultivation, and judging by his courage to face Demon Emperor Qingshuang directly, he seemed to have some confidence.
What evaluation would he give?
However, Ling Tian City Lord didn't say anything at this moment but instead looked at Luo Chen with a hint of doubt.
"Alchemy Sect..."
Just as he opened his mouth, a figure suddenly crashed to the ground.
Before the dust could settle, a mocking voice was heard from within.
"Sevenhorn, why are you in such a sorry state?"
Accompanying this voice, streams of light flew in from all directions.
Upon entering the Tyrant Blade Domain, they clearly divided into two groups, one heading towards the Sevenhorn Overlord and the other towards Ling Tian City Lord.
With no one to stop them, they moved swiftly.
In the blink of an eye, both sides had gathered.
One side had only nine people, while the other had fifteen.
The dust on the ground suddenly dispersed, and a man in a yellow robe was looking at the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground with a mocking expression.
The middle-aged man was the Sevenhorn Overlord, he looked miserable, his body covered in pits and holes as if he had suffered severe injuries.
Especially the top of his head, where a horn had been forcibly pulled out, leaving a fist-sized hole that was shocking to behold.
Blood gushed out, flowing profusely.
He slowly stood up, his eyes filled with anger as he scanned the battlefield, which resembled a hellish inferno.
"Huang Man, you didn't come to my aid!"
The man in the yellow robe had a sickly pale complexion, but when faced with his companion's accusation, his expression turned stern.
As his expression darkened, an innate aura of authority emanated from him.
"Don't cast aspersions; it's not that I sat idly by, but rather there's a grand formation inside and formidable enemies outside. It's your own incompetence that couldn't hold out."
Sevenhorn Overlord clenched his fists tightly, his gaze filled with resentment as he stared at the sky.
Fifteen figures stood there, their expressions icy as they fixed their gazes on the group.
Shenyuan Zhenren stepped forward, his voice carrying a hint of malice.
"Now is the perfect opportunity; let's capture them all!"
Fifteen against nine, the advantage was on their side!
Moreover, in a battle of this magnitude, it wasn't something that low-level demons could easily compensate for with sheer numbers.
However, as Ling Tian City Lord's lips moved slightly, and after a brief telepathic message, Shenyuan Zhenren's body stiffened.
"Is she nearby?"
"I'm not sure, but she might not have gone far."
Shenyuan Zhenren fell silent.
Ling Tian City Lord shook his head, his gaze sweeping past the seven Demon Emperors who were trembling in fear, and then he looked at the two Overlords on the ground.
"The purpose of this battle has been achieved; let's call it off!"
After saying this to everyone, Ling Tian City Lord took the lead and left.
Over a dozen Human Nascent Soul cultivators didn't linger and quickly retreated.
In an instant, the previously bustling battlefield fell silent.
Only the bellow of an old ox reverberated through the clouds, piercingly mournful and filled with agony.
...
Fifteen Nascent Soul True Men returned triumphantly to Lingtian Pass.
The pass guards, having received prior orders, welcomed them in.
It was only then that the cultivators within the city realized what the earth-shattering commotion outside had been about.
Earlier, Sevenhorn Overlord had failed to breach Lingtian Pass, returning empty-handed.
Later, Ling Tian City Lord led a surprise attack on Tyrant Blade Domain, annihilating an entire division.
Such a feat quickly spread throughout Lingtian Pass and even reached the far rear.
The might of the demon beasts was indeed formidable, but the humans had managed to stand firm on this land for thousands of years, forcefully carving out such a vast territory from the jaws of the demon beasts. They were not to be underestimated.
Because of this battle, the confidence of the human cultivators, who had been in hiding for a century, received a significant boost.
Some of the major powers that had remained stationary in the rear also began sending powerful cultivators to Lingtian Pass.
The world was bustling with those seeking profit, and the world was bustling with those pursuing gain.
When the demon army's momentum was unstoppable, everyone was thinking about how to protect themselves.
But if someone could curb that momentum, these countless demon beasts would no longer be a threat but an opportunity, a resource, and the nourishment for cultivators seeking immortality!
Ling Tian City Lord gathered powerful cultivators and forcefully fought this battle, which played a crucial role in the human-demon war.
Not to mention the subsequent developments.
That day, inside Lingtian Pass.
At the celebratory banquet, Luo Chen received a private audience with Ling Tian City Lord.
Ling Tian City Lord first praised him for killing countless demons and complimented his formidable strength, saying that even those of the same cultivation level would find it difficult to defeat him.
Luo Chen, being a man of decorum, readily agreed, exclaiming that the City Lord's methods were extraordinary, and even the renowned Sevenhorn Overlord was no match for him.
"He's a water-type demon, but I mainly cultivate earth-type techniques. With our sect's profound skills and methods, defeating him wasn't a difficult task."
"If I wasn't preoccupied with maintaining the Doudian Twelve Divine Calamities Array and taking the Heavenly Bull's head, it wouldn't be an empty boast."
Ling Tian City Lord smiled as he spoke, exuding confidence in his words.
And indeed, he had the confidence to back it up!
At the end of the battle, the rhino horn in the opponent's hand was the best proof.
As the two chatted, Ling Tian City Lord's tone suddenly changed.
"Fellow Daoist, it seems like you know Frost Eagle Demon King?"
Luo Chen's expression remained unchanged, "Who doesn't know that woman from Cang Wu Mountain's captivity?"
Ling Tian City Lord shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Yesterday, in front of everyone, her eyes were only on you."
"Do you think it's a good thing to be noticed by such a powerful cultivator?" Luo Chen asked in return.
Ling Tian City Lord furrowed his brows.
He couldn't understand why Frost Eagle Demon King had singled out Luo Chen. Logically, when Luo Chen was trapped in Cang Wu Mountain, he was merely an early-stage Golden Core cultivator; what virtue or ability did he possess to catch the eye of a great Demon King?
Luo Chen offered a timely speculation, "Perhaps she's curious about why I survived the Cang Wu Mountain battle? Otherwise, I myself can't fathom why, out of so many fellow cultivators, she's particularly curious about me."
Curious?
Ling Tian City Lord seemed to ponder this.
"My apologies, yesterday's battle exhausted my spiritual power. I think I'll return and recuperate for a while."
"Oh, you may go."
As Ling Tian City Lord spoke, he suddenly stopped Luo Chen as he was about to leave.
"Don't worry about the cave abode; as long as you're in Lingtian Pass for a day, that fourth-grade middle-grade cave abode is yours to use."
Luo Chen had been concerned about this matter, so he was delighted to receive this assurance.
"Thank you, City Lord!"
"Don't thank me; if you want to thank someone, thank the Abyss Sect!"
Luo Chen's smile turned into a look of surprise, but he quickly understood what the City Lord meant.
The Abyss Sect had always been interested in recruiting him, even after he had become a Star Gate Guest Advisor of the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect.
...
Upon returning to his cave abode, Luo Chen did not immediately meditate to recover his energy.
Excessive energy depletion? Merely an excuse! The Azure Sun Great Palm Seal, with its extraordinary power and vast spiritual energy, was largely formed by absorbing stray spiritual energy from the external world.
During the battle with the Lightless Beast, he did not use any techniques that required significant energy.
There was only one reason why he was eager to return.
The tip of the Yuan Tu Sword was tinged with a hint of vermilion, like a mosquito's blood or a cinnabar mole.
"So, she's not invincible after all!" Luo Chen murmured, his expression dazed.
I
Even when the Nine Spirit Lord struck in anger, he was still knocked to the ground.
However, the battle was not without its gains.
Using the advantage of the Yuan Tu Sword, Luo Chen managed to injure his opponent.
Even though it was a minor wound, akin to a mosquito bite on an ordinary person, it held a different significance for Luo Chen.
In the current situation, where the Divine Transformation experts could not easily intervene, a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator like Luo Chen was the pinnacle of power in the Shan Hai Jie.
As for Qing Shuang, she disregarded threats from those at the same level and roamed freely, with no one in the world capable of stopping her.
A hundred years had passed, and even though they had never met, the image of "invincible and undefeated" became increasingly clear in Luo Chen's mind.
After achieving Nascent Soul, his actions became more direct and efficient, and he unconsciously began to emulate his opponent's thoughts.
But the more he tried to imitate, the shadow looming over him grew larger.
His opponent was invincible!
Even injuring her seemed impossible.
Until that tiny drop of blood appeared!
"I'm growing at an astonishing rate, and the gap between us is narrowing."
"Now, with others' help, I can injure her. When I reach the pinnacle of my cultivation, I might even be able to fight her and possibly defeat her!"
Luo Chen's eyes brightened, and a surge of confidence dispelled the shadow in his heart.
...
The impact of the Tyrant Blade Domain battle continued to spread.
On the human side, more and more powerful forces from the sixteen domains behind the Lingtian Gate were sending reinforcements.
The impact on the demon side was even more profound.
Many demons began to retreat.
Due to the Nascent Soul Realm battle, the Tyrant Blade Domain was completely destroyed, and it was no longer suitable for cultivation for at least a few hundred years.
Huang Man led his forces to withdraw, and even the Fire Ridge abandoned their station.
All military forces were concentrated in the Azure Sky Territory.
Unlike before, they did not send large numbers of demons to attack the Lingtian Gate but quietly waited for the arrival of other demon armies.
According to intelligence, in half a year, the Hundred Peaks Overlord would arrive with his army.
Two years later, the Great Demon Emperor Niutou led a million-strong army and stationed in the Taihu Domain, the original location of the Taihu Palace.
With the arrival of the three overlords, commanding tens of millions of demons, a standoff with the Lingtian Gate began, separated by tens of thousands of miles.
It was only then that the demon side started sending small groups to harass the Lingtian Gate.
The flames of war seemed to ignite once more.
Luo Chen paid no attention to the outside world.
Ever since receiving the promise from the Lingtian City Lord to use the cave abode, he had been in closed-door cultivation.
Except for the agreement made with the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion's Li Guozhu before entering seclusion, he declined all visits from numerous powerful cultivators.
He entrusted the internal affairs of the Heavenward Sect to Li Yingzhang and the external affairs to Wang Yuan.
Sima Huiniang and Gu Caiyi, his capable assistants, handled the coordination with the Heavenly Origin Commerce Alliance.
Only then could Luo Chen immerse himself in cultivation without distractions.
Time passed slowly.
One year, two years, three years...
During this time, the Lingtian Gate occasionally released Nascent Soul-level tasks, but the Lingtian City Lord never sought Luo Chen's help.
This provided Luo Chen with a peaceful cultivation environment.
One day, five years later.
In the cave abode, a white-robed cultivator sat with his hair loose, meditating on a lotus platform.
A large amount of fire-attributed spiritual energy gathered, making the cultivation room resemble a volcanic cave.
Streams of spiritual energy, like red clouds, continuously flowed into his body with each rhythmic breath.
Suddenly, as if some restriction had been lifted, the cultivator's aura began to rise uncontrollably.
Boom! The spiritual energy surged, and his energy raged.
His black hair moved without wind, his robe fluttering, and Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes.
He exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, and with a thought, the surging energy was completely contained, showing no signs of anomaly.
When he examined his own body, his Nascent Soul was full, his divine soul vibrant, and his cultivation had indeed reached the Fourth Layer of the Nascent Soul Realm.
