Defeat and Retreat, Blood-Transforming Old Devil

"Ah--"

The nascent Nascent Soul Tianxuan Fairy was captured and was unexpectedly swept away by the black banner.

"Junior Sister!"

Seeing that Tianxuan Fairy's Nascent Soul had been captured, the Sect Heavenly Hut Sect became enraged and, disregarding the loss of his Law Power, unleashed the Earthfire Mystic Crystal Sword and attacked Dagan Hermit.

Thunderclap Daoist also showed an expression of disbelief, unable to believe that his longtime friend would betray him. He said in shock, "Da Gan, you..."

"Don't blame me!"

"The Blood Transformation Ancestor promised me that as long as I become his disciple, he will help me break through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage."

The Dagan Hermit, however, remained unconcerned, grinning maliciously as he said, "I've been trapped at the Sixth Nascent Soul Layer for two thousand years. If I can break through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, so what if I become a demon?"

"The Blood-Transforming Old Devil"

The expressions on everyone's faces changed slightly. The Blood-Transforming Old Devil was the number one Nascent Soul Old Devil in the Great Nascent Soul of the Eastern Wilderness.

This man is the overlord of Devil Cultivator in the Star Lake Ancient Region. Not only is his cultivation at the Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm realm, but he also possesses the Pure Yin Demon Treasure, the Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Divine Blade.

Chen Nianzhi knew the Blood-Transforming Old Devil better than anyone else. This demon was Qing Yin True Lord's long-standing enemy, and one of the key factors in the destruction of the Chen Clan of the Vast Sea was the Blood-Transforming Old Devil's interference.

Thinking of this, even Nine Rivers Daoist changed color, worried that the Blood-Transforming Old Devil might come here.

However, Chen Nianzhi quickly calmed down and hurriedly said loudly, "Everyone, there's no need to worry. Although that Blood-Transforming Old Devil is powerful, he is also a thorn in the side of our Human Race powerhouses. I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to leave the Demon Cave rashly."

Therefore, this fierce creature dares not appear here.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. As long as the Blood-Transforming Old Devil didn't make a move, things wouldn't turn out the worst.

The Heavenly Hut Sect went into a frenzy, sparing no effort to unleash the Earthfire Mystic Crystal Sword in an attempt to reclaim Tianxuan Fairy's Nascent Soul.

Chen Nianzhi stopped the Desolate Old Devil, then said to Jiang Linglong, "Leave the Desolate Old Devil to me, you guys go and stop Fang Old Devil."

"Good."

Jiang Linglong spoke, she rushed over to deal with that Fang Old Devil.

Yan Ziji, Ya Ya, and the others took turns making moves, also intending to help the Heavenly Hut Sect retrieve Tianxuan Fairy's Nascent Soul.

The two sides fought for another quarter of an hour. Cultivators like Nine Rivers Daoist and Chen Nianzhi were still doing well, but Qiu Daoyi other Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators felt their Law Power was waning, and if they continued fighting, things might not go well.

At the crucial moment Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong exchanged a glance, and then acted in perfect unison.

As soon as Jiang Linglong raised her hand, she used the Duality Divine Light to fix Money Devil's Demon Banner. Chen Nianzhi flicked his sleeve and the Thousand Demons Slaying Devil Sword slashed out with a clang, cutting the Demon Banner in half and rescuing Tianxuan Fairy's nascent Nascent Soul.

Daoist Tianlu seized the opportunity to retrieve Tianxuan Fairy's Nascent Soul, and then activated the Earthfire Mystic Crystal Sword to force back several old Old Devil in the midst of the chaotic battle.

"You can't fight like that."

The thought flashed through Chen Nianzhi's mind, and he decisively said, "Fighting in the Desolate Demon Ridge is disadvantageous for us. Let's retreat and make further plans."

"I will cover the rear."

Nine Rivers Daoist Jiuhe shouted and activated his nine Heavenly River Immortal Sword, blocking the attacks of the Blazing Fire Old Devil and his companions, and covering their retreat.

Once they had retreated from the Desolate Demon Ridge, the Nascent Soul Old Devil stopped pursuing them.

The group was numerous and powerful, and had a top-tier Nascent Soul like Nine Rivers Daoist, not to mention the Myriad Immortals Subduing Demons Formation suppressing them outside the Desolate Demon Ridge.

Although the Devil Cultivator had three Nascent Soul Late Stage, once they left the Desolate Demon Ridge and lost the support of demonic energy, they couldn't gain any advantage.

Once they left the Desolate Demon Ridge, Chen Nianzhi looked around and realized that almost every Nascent Soul True Lord present was injured and in bad shape.

"Junior sister."

The Heavenly Hut Sect looked at the Nascent Soul of Tianxuan Fairy before him, tears streaming down his face.

That Tianxuan Fairy's Nascent Soul soul light was dim, her whole body was covered in black light, and her face was full of pain.

It is obvious that although Tianxuan Fairy has been rescued, her nascent Nascent Soul has been corrupted by Demon Baleful Intent. Even if she wanted to reshape her physical body, it would be impossible, and there is a great risk of her falling into demonic possession.

"Well."

Seeing this, Nine Rivers Daoist sighed and said, "Tianxuan Fairy's Nascent Soul has been corrupted by Demon Baleful Intent energy, making it impossible to rebuild her physical body. The only option now is for her to undergo a tribulation and start anew."

"That's the only way."

Tianxuan Fairy looked somewhat pained, but also slightly relieved.

With the Heavenly Hut Sect's millennia-long history, she naturally cultivated the Nirvana Tribulation-Transference Art and fortuitous opportunity to live another life. However, it would probably take her hundreds of years to reach the Nascent Soul stage of rebuilding.

Besides Tianxuan Fairy, Qiu Daoyi, a guest elder of the Chen Clan, was also in a bad situation, as he had the lowest cultivation level among all the True Lord present.

As the saying goes, you should pick the softest persimmon to squeeze. Although Qiu Daoyi was cautious in this battle, he still had a section of his arm cut off by the Blazing Fire Old Devil with his Blazing Flame Spirit-Slaying Sword. His body has also been invaded by Fire Baleful Force, and he will probably need to recuperate for two cycles of sixty years to fully recover.

The others were also in bad shape, but fortunately Chen Nianzhi withdrew in time, and the few with higher cultivation levels were still in relatively good condition.

Seeing the miserable state of everyone, Chen Nianzhi sighed and said, "This battle is my fault. If I had calmed down and waited another thirty years, when Brother Tianlu broke through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, the battle might have been much easier."

"There are no 'what ifs' in life."

Nine Rivers Daoist shook his head and then said, "We have already surveyed all the demon emperors and Devil Lord in the surrounding area, but we never expected that Blazing Fire Old Devil and Fang Old Devil would come. It is all my fault for not investigating the strength of the Desolate Demon Ridge."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Hut Sect's face was filled with murderous intent as he said, "That Blood-Transforming Old Devil is far away in the Star Lake Ancient Region, how could he possibly interfere in the affairs of our Three Vein Ancient Region?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Nianzhi's heart stirred slightly, and a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes.

Nine Rivers Daoist, however, seemed to know something. With a solemn expression, he said, "That Blood-Transforming Old Devil has been at the Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm realm for two thousand years now. He has probably already touched the threshold of the Primordial Spirit Dao Lord realm."

"That's why he wanted to subdue the Desolate Old Devil and the others; his main purpose was probably to help him break through to the Primordial Spirit stage."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically, and they all showed disbelief.

After a moment of contemplation, Thunderclap Daoist said with a solemn expression, "How is that possible? Could it be that the Blood-Transforming Old Devil Demon really be able to break through to the Nascent Primordial Spirit?"

Even as he said this, Thunderclap Daoist still looked somewhat skeptical.

Within the Purple Yin Realm, there are fewer than twenty Demonic Path Primordial Spirit in total, and of these fewer than twenty Demonic Path Primordial Spirit, more than 70% are Human Race Primordial Spirit Dao Lord have fallen into the Demonic Path path.

Although Devil Cultivator are powerful and cultivate faster than righteous cultivators, breaking through to higher realms is far more difficult for them.

This is because during the cultivation process, Demonic Path cultivators are gradually eroded by Demon Baleful Intent power, becoming greedy, immoral, and capricious, sinking into desire and losing their humanity and vigilance.

Only a very few Demonic Path cultivators can maintain their true nature and break through to the Nascent Soul True Lord realm.
