Golden Rhinoceros Demon Emperor's Dead End

Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi said, "It seems that the key reason why the Purple Jade Demon Emperor was able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Late Stage is this Purple Marrow Divine Fruit Tree."

"This is bad. The strength of that Purple Jade Demon Emperor is probably even greater than we expected."

Chen Nianzhi suddenly said in shock, exchanging a glance with Jiang Linglong.

In their expectations, the Purple Jade Demon Emperor should have cultivated at most one Great Divine Ability to the Mahayana stage. Now, seeing this Purple Marrow Divine Fruit Tree, it is likely that the Purple Jade Demon Emperor has cultivated at least two or three Mahayana Divine Ability.

If the Purple Jade Demon Emperor were to master two or three Mahayana Divine Ability, his strength would likely be far beyond that of an ordinary Nascent Soul Late Stage Nascent Soul Great Perfection realm.

With this thought in mind, Chen Nianzhi immediately used the Yin-Yang Void Realm to store the Purple Marrow Divine Fruit Tree, and then said, "Let's return to Immortal Apricot Island immediately."

Fearing that Immortal Apricot Island wouldn't be able to hold them off, the two immediately set off, hurriedly flying towards the Vast Sea.

To avoid wasting time, they flew directly to the nearest Yan Kingdom, Yan, intending to use the Teleportation Array array at Purple Ji Mountain to travel to Immortal Apricot Island.

They made no attempt to conceal their presence along the way, and within just a few days they flew to Purple Ji Mountain.

"..."

On Purple Ji Mountain, Yan Ziji sat solemnly in the main hall, her expression somewhat grave.

After a while, Lingji Fairy entered and said to Yan Ziji, "Sister."

"How is the situation?" Yan Ziji asked.

Lingji Fairy shook her head and said with a wry smile, "That Golden Rhinoceros Demon Emperor is completely shameless and unwilling to fight us, but he has declared that if we go to support Immortal Apricot Island, he will wreak havoc in the Yan Kingdom."

"This scoundrel..."

Yan Ziji's gaze turned cold, and after a long pause, she said, "The Golden Rhinoceros Demon Emperor is now homeless, and he's completely shameless in his attempt to cling to us."

"Fine, I'll stay in the Yan Kingdom, you go to Immortal Apricot Island and lend them a hand."

"Elder sister..."

The Lingji Fairy's expression changed slightly, and she couldn't help but say, "It's not that I'm unwilling to go, but with the current strength of Immortal Apricot Island, it's simply not enough to stop the Purple Jade Demon Emperor. If I go, I'll only be throwing my life away."

Yan Ziji shook her head, sighed, and said, "I know you've just broken through to the Nascent Soul, and facing Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators on Immortal Apricot Island would be an uncertain prospect."

"But you owe the Chen Clan family a favor, and now is the time to repay it."

"But."

Before Lingji Fairy could speak, Yan Ziji interrupted her, saying, "Either you stay in the Yan Kingdom and stop that Golden Rhinoceros Demon Emperor."

Hearing her say that, Lingji Fairy fell silent again. She had only recently broken through to the next level and did not possess any Spirit Treasure. She was still a Human Dao Nascent Soul Realm, so how could she possibly stop the Golden Rhinoceros Demon Emperor, who had one foot in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage?

Seeing that Lingji Fairy was somewhat uneasy, Yan Ziji said, "I will lend you the Purple Firmament Void-Escaping Mirror. If you really can't hold on, this mirror will be enough to protect you."

"When the time comes, you can use this mirror to help the True Lord of the Chen Clan escape, which will be considered repaying the Chen Clan's kindness."

Lingji Fairy took the Purple Firmament Void-Escaping Mirror, initially delighted but also worried, and asked, "What will you do without this mirror?"

"Don't worry."

Yan Ziji smiled, confidently stating, "With my foundation Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul cultivator, even without any Spirit Treasure, the mere Golden Rhinoceros Demon Emperor is nothing to worry about."

"Clang--"

As the two were talking, they heard the sound of a sword clashing.

Their expressions changed slightly, and they quickly came out of the main hall, only to find the Golden Rhinoceros Demon Emperor at the end of the Nine Heavens fleeing in a disheveled and frantic manner, with a look of despair on his face.

Behind the Golden Rhinoceros Demon Emperor, a figure dressed in snow-white robes stepped through the air, wielding a pair of Demon-Refining Immortal Sword that cut through the void with fine lines wherever they passed.

"Ah--"

The Golden Rhinoceros Demon Emperor screamed in agony, suffering a severe injury and flying backward, then tried to escape.

However, Jiang Linglong had already blocked his retreat by using the Ji-Earth Kun Origin Plate to suppress him, so he could only run towards Purple Ji Mountain.

Seeing Yan Ziji smiled slightly, then raised her hand and summoned the Purple Firmament Void-Escaping Mirror, completely sealing off the void.

She stepped into the sky, unleashing her Natal Great Divine Ability, the Purple Firmament Heaven-Slaying Sword, and with a clang, slashed at the Golden Rhinoceros Demon Emperor Golden Rhinoceros Demon Emperor, severely injuring him in a single move.

Lingji Fairy reacted quickly, taking the opportunity to block the void on the other side, completely sealing off the Golden Rhinoceros Demon Emperor's retreat.

The four Nascent Soul True Lord joined forces, three of whom possessed the combat power of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and within just a few breaths, they forced the Golden Rhinoceros Demon Emperor into a desperate situation.

After a dozen or so moves, Jiang Linglong unleashed the Heavenly Ruins Immortal-Slaying Sword, utterly slaying the Golden Rhinoceros Demon Emperor and capturing its Nascent Soul.

"Finally, this wicked creature is dead."

After slaying the Golden Rhinoceros Demon Emperor, Yan Ziji breathed a sigh of relief.

She glanced at Chen Nianzhi and couldn't help but say with delight, "You've returned at just the right time. If you had come a few years later, you might not have been able to protect the Vast Sea."

"Let's go to the Vast Sea first, and we'll talk about it on the way."

Chen Nianzhi spoke and immediately stepped onto the Teleportation Array of Purple Ji Mountain.

There was Teleportation Array on Purple Ji Mountain connecting it to Azure Lotus Isle. The four of them took the Teleportation Array directly to Azure Lotus Isle, and then traveled to Immortal Apricot Island.

Upon arriving at Immortal Apricot Island, Chen Nianzhi breathed a slight sigh of relief, as the Immortal Apricot Island had not yet been completely conquered.

"You're finally back."

The Old Clan Leader had someone guard the Teleportation Array, and upon seeing Chen Nianzhi, immediately invited him into the main hall.

At this moment, in addition to the True Lord of the Chen Clan, Daoist Zixu, Ancestor Mo, and Ji Feixue, three friends, had all arrived in the main hall.

Chen Nianzhi nodded to everyone, then looked at Ji Feixue and said, "Does the Ji Clan have Nascent Soul Late Stage realm who can lend a hand?"

"Not for now."

Ji Feixue shook her head and said helplessly, "My father is currently in seclusion to consolidate his cultivation. He won't come out unless there's something important. The Great Elder and the others are mainly protecting him, so they can't be disturbed lightly."

The others nodded in agreement. After pondering for a moment, Jiang Linglong shared her speculations about the trip to Purple Jade Lake with everyone.

Everyone frowned after hearing this. Yan Ziji said, "Although the Crimson Snake Demon Emperor and the Heavenly Scorpion Demon Emperor are powerful, and the Hundred-Poison Scorpion and the Crimson-Blood Demon Serpent are highly venomous, there won't be too much danger as long as we take precautions."

"But if that Purple Jade Demon Emperor has truly consumed the Purple Marrow Divine Fruit multiple times, his strength might far exceed expectations."

Upon hearing this, the group trembled slightly. The Nascent Soul Late Stage realm was powerful, but even among those at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, there were often vast differences in strength.

If the Purple Jade Heavenly Python were to truly cultivate two or three Mahayana Divine Ability, its strength would far surpass that of an ordinary Seventh Nascent Soul Layer.

With this thought in mind, Ji Feixue said, "With Linglong and Nianzhi's Daluo Nascent Soul joining forces to block in front, plus my, Zi Ji's, and Nianchuan's combined strength, can we stop that Purple Jade Heavenly Python?"

"Five Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators should be able to hold them off. If all else fails, Ya Ya still has the Ice-Soul Condensed Jade Pagoda."

Chen Nianzhi nodded and smiled after calculating the strength.

The benefits of having a wide circle of friends became apparent at this moment. If it weren't for the cultivation of several Nascent Soul in the Chen Clan, and if it weren't for the assistance of friends like Ji Feixue and Zixu, the couple would probably have had to give up the Vast Sea by now.

Thinking this with such joy in his heart, he pondered for a moment and then said, "However, we don't necessarily have to fight. If we can make our opponents back down, that would be the best strategy."
