Demon-Slaying Whip
"Whoosh!"
Li Weiyi, Zuoqiu Hongting, Liu Ye, Water Ferret Immortal, the three clan leaders of the Jiu Li Tribe, and the four priests were enveloped in a cloud of runic mist and chased south.
This cloud of runes was activated by an elderly priest. It is a treasure of the Jiu Li Divine Hall, sealed within a Yin Banner, and can carry multiple people.
Its speed exceeds the speed of sound, making it impossible for ordinary Longevity Realm Giants to catch up.
The ancestors of the Jiu Li Tribe were once incredibly glorious. The Old Ancestor of the Nine Great Tribes were the nine most accomplished descendants of the God of Jiu Li, all of whom were extraordinary and left behind many wonderful things for their descendants.
Amidst the clouds, Li Weiyi explained to the seven Old Man of the Jiu Li Tribe, "I know that the Lingxiao Shengjing and the East Sea Demon Race have a long history of conflict, constantly attacking and killing each other since ancient times."
"However, the Nine Ring Reef is located in the deep sea of the East China Sea. By showing goodwill to Princess Dengfeng and excavating the Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton, the Jiu Li Tribe may be safer and less dangerous when they retreat to the Lingxiao Shengjing."
"Furthermore, Princess Dengfeng is bound to break through to immortality soon, and will have a great deal of influence among the Demon Race of the East Sea in the future."
The three clan leaders and four priests nodded secretly, thinking that it was not a bad thing to take this opportunity to forge a good relationship.
The sea below.
The monsters of the East Sea, whether on the surface or in the water, are rushing south in droves.
Along the way, one could see enormous demonic corpses floating on the sea, staining patches of the ocean red.
"It's Second Master Whale! The seventh strongest fighter under Her Highness the Princess has actually been cleaved in two... Damn Dao Palace..."
"That decapitated corpse belongs to the leader of the younger generation of the Tongxian River Demon Race. His combat strength is no less than that of a martial artist at the peak of the Ninth Heaven Dao Seed Realm among your human races."
"Sea of Blood... I swear I will not become a demon until this feud is avenged!"
The Water Ferret Immortal recognized one slain Demon Race warrior after another, and nervously clenched its paws, worried about the safety of its cousin and the princess.
Liu Ye said, "A year ago, two true disciples of the Dao Palace who were at the Longevity Realm were killed, and their bodies were planted in the rice paddies. Therefore, Dao Seed Realm Sheng Wulian and Si Wuyan, who were at the Ninth Heaven the Dao Seed Realm, were urgently promoted to become new true disciples."
"Logically speaking, the true teachings of ancient sects are only established at the Longevity Realm."
"The reason they are 'Sheng Wulian' and 'Si Wuyan' is because they have the support of an extraordinary powerful figure behind them, which allowed them to secure their positions as true disciples ahead of time. However, if they fail to cultivate the Longevity Body at the Dao Seed Realm, their positions as true disciples will be insecure!"
"Once someone else breaks through to the next realm with Longevity Body, their situation will be extremely awkward."
"This is why they are willing to pay any price to obtain the Longevity Flower and attempt to achieve Longevity Body."
Li Weiyi said, "The true disciples of the Longevity Realm have all been killed? And planted in rice paddies? Who has such audacity, unafraid of retaliation?"
"There are rumors that it was done by a Son of Heaven's Disciple," Liu Ye said.
"It's already quite remarkable that Sheng Wulian and Si Wuyan were able to cultivate their physical bodies to 99% within just one year. Other Young Son of Heaven, even if given such an opportunity, might not be able to seize it," a Jiu Li Tribe clan chief remarked.
He was 110 years old. In his youth, he boasted that he was a genius and invincible in his clan. He spent decades honing his skills, consuming countless resources, and cultivating diligently every day, but he only managed to cultivate to the strength of a fifth or sixth- Longevity Body.
The geniuses of an entire state appear utterly mediocre in the face of those who possess Sheng Wulian and Si Wuyan.
The runic clouds flew out for nine hundred miles.
Finally, we saw the fierce battle on the sea.
The seven demonic beasts, including the Turtle Scholar and Prince Baba, were all injured and were being held back by Zhen Xin and the other eight chief disciples of the Ninth Heaven the Dao Palace.
These chiefs all wielded weapons with Thousand Character Artifact, and their strength was almost at the Qiong Ji Daozi.
"Never mind us, hurry and save Her Highness the Princess!" Prince Baba roared at the sky.
"Cousin, you must hold on!" The Water Ferret Immortal saw a knife wound on Prince Baba's stomach, with blood continuously dripping down.
That was during the previous pursuit battle, when he was Gai Canghai's blade.
The runic clouds flew another three hundred miles.
A dark cloud, stretching across the sky and the sea, appeared, releasing a fierce hurricane from within, its magical energy surging.
This is the Dao Heart Manifestation that Si Wuyan.
The area within a fifty-mile radius of his body was enveloped in darkness, thick with yin energy, altering the celestial phenomena.
The ultimate Dao Heart Manifestation is only about thirty miles.
Only Young Son of Heaven could travel more than fifty li, thus creating a fundamental difference in their abilities.
Without the slightest hesitation, the runic clouds enveloped Li Weiyi and the others, and they broke into the Dao Heart Manifestation of Si Wuyan.
Li Weiyi used his Heavenly Eye to release the Fusang Divine Tree Projection and the Dao Heart Manifestation, illuminating the darkness. The others also used their own methods to try to break through the external manifestation of the Si Wuyan Dao Heart Manifestation, so as not to be suppressed.
In the distance, Princess Dengfeng flew through the air, fleeing further south.
It wasn't that she didn't want to escape to another location, but rather that she was being attacked from three sides.
Gai Canghai and Gai Lingyun were both very powerful, top-tier chief cultivators. They chased her from the east and west respectively, and the two Dao Heart Manifestation they released also suppressed her.
It should be noted that top-tier masters at the same cultivation level can easily withstand several or even a dozen moves from the Young Son of Heaven. If the two of them join forces, they can go toe-to-toe with the Young Son of Heaven.
Even if a top-tier master like Cangli were to be killed by Phoenix-born Unicorn-young You in a desperate situation, he would have to pay a price.
Si Wuyan held a golden Demon-Slaying Whip, his feet treading on the water, his face grim.
"Smack!"
With each swing of its arm, the Demon-Slaying Whip transformed into Golden Lightning several miles long, striking the jellyfish cloud in the sky and driving it south to prevent the Demon Race army from catching up.
Like herding sheep, she had no choice.
"Hand over the petals of the Longevity Flower, and I'll let you go. You should understand the resolve of this true lineage: refusal means death."
The Si Wuyan! echoed through the night.
On the Demon-Slaying Whip, countless scriptures that restrained demonic beasts appeared. It lashed out again, shattering a large area of Formation Script and runes protecting Princess Dengfeng's true form.
Gai Canghai unleashed a slash of blade light.
The blade's edge, like a bright waterfall of heaven and earth, clashed with the sword's edge swung from the jellyfish cloud.
They dared not get too close, wary of Princess Dengfeng's trump cards, and planned to attack from afar to dismember her.
Princess Dengfeng's voice rang out. "This is the East Sea! You have gone too far!"
"So what if it's the East Sea? It's not like the Dao Palace hasn't wiped out Demon Race force of that size before. With Yu Jia's departure and the fall of the Flying Dragon, the East Sea is now nothing more than a lake spanning ten thousand miles."
Si Wuyan tone, filled with confidence and determination, continued, " In the Southern Yingzhou, all forces rise and fall, their brief glory followed by endless decline. But Dao Palace is different. We have never declined; we have always stood atop the clouds, eternally at our peak."
Princess Dengfeng said, "If that's the case, why were your true disciples thrown into the rice paddies and turned into fertilizer? Aren't you afraid you'll suffer the same fate?"
"Smack!"
Golden Lightning streaked across the night sky.
The Demon-Slaying Whip pierced through the protective Formation Script and runes, landing on Princess Dengfeng.
With his Longevity Body, the Si Wuyan prowess far surpasses that of other Young Son of Heaven, giving him an absolute advantage.
Who is it?
Si Wuyan sensed that someone had intruded into the Dao Heart Manifestation.
Dozens of miles away, Li Weiyi shouted, "Your Highness, how should we negotiate this cooperation?"
"As you wish," Princess Dengfeng replied immediately.
"You're asking for it."
Si Wuyan frowned, muttered something under his breath, and then shouted, "Gai Lingyun, stop them! Gai Canghai, let's go all out and get close to her. Don't give her a chance to escape!"
Si Wuyan knew very well that he had no other choice but to take some risks and act aggressively.
Gai Lingyun, wielding twin swords, faced the group of people emerging from the runic clouds behind him.
Several miles apart, a single horizontal slash unleashed a giant wave of water ten feet high.
"Boom!"
Behind the giant wave, the Purple Sky Lei Seal rose, shattering the blade light that Gai Lingyun had slashed down.
Liu Ye leaped into the air, his body radiating intense fighting spirit, and charged forward with his halberd. "He's mine!"
"Old Liu, are you sure you can manage on your own?"
Li Weiyi knew all too well how formidable the four —the Purple-clothed Woman, Wu Hongling, Gai Canghai, and Gai Lingyun —and didn't want to risk the lives of his own people in order to rescue Princess Dengfeng.
"Boom!"
Liu Ye and Gai Lingyun clashed, the two flying through the air and across the sea, fighting from the water to the sky, their energy and strength were extremely domineering.
The halberds and swords clashed, creating sparks and ripples of scripture.
"He can do it, he definitely can do it, don't worry about him!" Water Ferret Immortal urged incessantly, gazing in the direction of Princess Dengfeng.
The group quickly approached the battlefield.
Li Weiyi had no intention of engaging in close combat with a powerful figure like Si Wuyan; a coordinated, ranged attack was the safest approach, allowing them to fully utilize their strengths.
The four priests, all with gray hair and being Nine-Star Mind Master, stood in four different positions and immediately took out sets of array-setting tools. Some Formation Script runes were inscribed on the Yin Banner, some on the Transcendent Bone, and some on magical artifacts...
A century of painstaking research, a millennium of profound knowledge.
That's exactly what we've been working towards, so we can really showcase our abilities.
The old chieftain of the Qili tribe was a Deformed Race, towering in stature, who roared, "Artifact River!"
His ancestral field opened, and a long river of magical artifacts flew out, with thousands of various magical artifacts flying towards the Gai Canghai.
He has no other skills, except for having a lot of magical artifacts. However, half of them are broken artifacts that he can't bear to throw away.
Upon hearing the whistling sound of wind breaking through the air, Gai Canghai's eyes sharpened, and he suddenly turned around, raising his sword to slash at the magical artifact, the River of Magic.
"Bang bang."
The magical artifacts kept exploding, turning into scrap metal fragments.
The Elder Qílí was heartbroken and kicked a priest next to him.
Having no other option, the priest handed over the task of setting up the formation to the other three, shouting, "Talisman Rain!"
A dazzling light erupted from his Glabella Spiritual Realm, and countless talismans transformed into a river of Talisman Rain, rushing out along the Artifact River.
Gai Canghai found it troublesome and disliked dealing with Nine-Star Mind Master who was over a hundred years old. The other party had spent his entire life refining arrays and making talismans, and who knew what strange things he might come up with.
"Whoosh!"
He contracted his Dao Heart Manifestation, transforming it into a protective light shield several meters in size.
Countless sword shadows flew within the light barrier.
The river of talismans crashed against the light shield, shattering repeatedly and forcing Gai Canghai to retreat.
"The two clan leaders have lent me a helping hand."
Li Weiyi mobilized all his magical energy and poured it into the Provincial Governor's Official Robe.
The two elder clan leaders unleashed beams of magical energy from their palms, enveloping his body.
"Aww!"
A white, misty dragon soul, over a hundred meters long, flew out from the patch on Li Weiyi's chest, soaring into the air and attacking Si Wuyan.
The higher the grade of the magical energy that activates the official robes, the stronger the dragon soul that is summoned.
Zhu Seventy-two Heavens was able to seize a flag in the peak duel because he borrowed a set of Provincial Governor's Official Robe to wear. The dragon soul within the robes enhanced his combat power.
The dragon soul, activated by the combined power of the three, possessed a powerful aura. Its head and claw marks were extremely solid, and it roared with Dragon Roar's cry, accompanied by wind and thunder, containing a trace of the aura of Martial Path Son of Heaven.
