Exploring Immortality Cultivation

Wang Qi's body was covered in magic artifacts, most of which he had seized from a group of Nascent Soul Cultivators. Even in self-destruction, these artifacts would not harm those powerful demons or barely injure a Divine Power Demon Beast.

But now, a group of demon beasts, initially suppressed by the Little Dragon and also afflicted by the Heart Demon Curse, could only exert thirty to fifty percent of their strength. These not-so-high-order magic artifacts finally unleashed an unexpectedly formidable might.

A Transformation Demon had just lifted its head when seven Heavenly Books pounced over and exploded simultaneously. The spell power Wang Qi had built up over time inside the books erupted with the books' own spells, turning into a brilliant flood of magic.

Bifeng Locking entered through the middle palace and crown, firmly sealing the enemy; Yin Fire Unknowing drilled straight into the Demon Clan's body through the soles, incinerating their internal organs. Thousand Clouds and Ten Thousand Illusion Sword Qi turned one stroke into mist, with the Sumeru Mustard Seed Fist Intent sweeping across Heaven and Earth. There were also Vajra Demon Suppression Technique, Constant Pressure, the strength of Titans moving mountains, controlling a whole sea...

The collection of the Heavenly Book Tower was too abundant; every spell integrated by the Tower's disciples into their Heavenly Book covered any aspect that combat might involve.

And yet, more Treasure Artifacts were not so dazzling.

Three Transformation Demon Beasts dissolved into their essence and augmented a flying sword stolen from the Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao. The sword trembled and instantly pierced through seven weakened Divine Power Demon Beasts before being halted by the eighth. This Divine Power Level Giant Whale sneered, attempting to snap the long sword. But the sword, even faster now, developed ice cracks and then, under the astounded gaze of the demon beast, thunderously exploded.

The Lifebound Flying Sword taken from the Divine Separation Stage Cultivator Nie Tianren then penetrated a Jellyfish Demon God. This demon god was not naturally fast, and its body was soft. Under normal circumstances, the enemy would be struck first by its invisible tendril reaching several miles and never get close enough to penetrate it; additionally, the Jellyfish Clan had no vital points to target. But previously, its subtly released poisonous quills tangled with Sha Liantai and failed to poison him; instead, it was poisoned in return. And now, it faced a self-destructing flying sword—a complete madman! It desperately tried to pull out the sword. However, the one controlling the sword was Zhen Chan, who did not give this demon god a chance to draw the sword, sneering as he detonated it.

The Yellow Robed King continually captured the defenseless demons on the sea surface and scattered them into essence to enhance the magic artifacts, which then flew out and exploded. Under the manipulation of Zhen Chan, a former Mahayana Cultivator, those demons were actually blown so much they couldn't raise their heads!

The Little Dragon employed the same tactic. Among the four Dragon-Like Demon Gods, Qiu Xianke was first blown apart by Wang Qi's sneak attack, Jiao Shili was entangled by Little Dragon with a Demon God Level corpse and executed Star Flash Sky, already torn into three parts; Chi Liu took two strikes of Star Flash Sky's aftermath, then was enclosed by the Dragon Clan's Magical Artifact by Zhen Chan and also blown up, not lightly injured either. Now, Little Dragon once again fought with the Two-Injuring Technique Dragon Swallowing Sun, burning life as power, simultaneously holding against Chi Liu and Yin Chuiyi, both severely wounded. Multiple corpses entangled the two demon gods and exploded together.

Both demon gods spat blood and fell into the sea, their life or death unknown.

Now, beside Little Dragon, only one Demon God Level corpse remained. The corpse circled around him, turning into a Great Void Nebula Gang, protecting Little Dragon. Little Dragon, with an odd Human Clan accent, transmitted, "Okay... if this Demon God Level corpse explodes, it will engulf us both..."

Wang Qi once again shouted, "Senior Sister! Aid me!"

Mi nodded once more and acted, "Tengling Riddle."

The Mystery of Tengling Riddle—in today's world, all beings vie with each other, resembling a burst of ascent. Yet, where do life beings originate?

The Heart Demon Curse Power exuded a strong vitality. Then, Curse Light boiled and condensed into the shape of life beings in midair. These beings, including fish and crustaceans, but mostly, were shellfish creatures Wang Qi had never seen before. This legion composed of Heart Demon Curse Spirits suddenly became a grand army that charged toward the remaining Sea Demons. These life beings were not just shapes— not illusory forms created by spells—they appeared to be very much real, each an independent entity. They collided, they bit, pressing the Demon Clan down so they couldn't regain composure for a moment.

Then, Wang Qi made another astonishing move. The Yellow Robed King's Divine Body suddenly disintegrated and then cloaked over him. Right behind him, Heaven Creation appeared. With a sway, he arrived at the base of the pagoda. Then, a pre-set command was sent into the brains of all captured Ancient Method Practitioners. Immediately, their Essence Blood, Primordial Qi, and Magic all ignited, the new power generated was modified by Ai Changyuan's cultivation "Curved Sky Ruler," turning into Gravity that Wang Qi could wield.

An unprecedented sensation surged into Wang Qi's heart. He felt as though he was stirring an ocean with a teaspoon. The power was incredibly overwhelming!

Zhen Chan had just detonated the last artifact and returned to Wang Qi's ring. The Curse Power that protected the pagoda suddenly burst forward, spreading a pale blue mist which stretched to Little Dragon. Knowing what Wang Qi was doing, Little Dragon released the Great Void Nebula Gang. Wang Qi flashed beside Little Dragon and then shouted, "Transform, smaller!"

Little Dragon flashed, instantly taking on the appearance of a Human Clan member. Wang Qi embraced Little Dragon, then activated the powerful gravity. The pre-set instruction caused the puppets he controlled to automatically direct the Gravity Magic Power where needed, while the Golden Core pinnacle of Heaven Creation desperately adjusted these Laws.

Wang Qi extended a hand to complete the final adjustment.

Wanxiang Heavenly Attraction, activate!

An abnormal gravity caused a tsunami. Space warped, time dilated. All Sea Demons felt as though they could see every move of the other, but there was not a single sea demon who could stop them. In the abnormal space-time, Wang Qi and Little Dragon seemed to fall into an unknown low place, rapidly distancing themselves from the group of demons.

At last, their presence vanished.

Without human control, the pagoda fell into the water. The sea demons looked at one another, realizing they seemed to have been played.

That guy... seemed... to be a Human Clan member.

After a quarter of an hour, the first to recover, Chi Liu, grabbed the little pagoda. Its claws exerted a great amount of force, as if it wanted to crush both the pagoda and its owner.

Human Clan... Human Clan... Human Clan...

It was actually a Human Clan member...

The Human Clan individual had intervened a few times, and none of those instances had truly exceeded the bounds of the Primordial Spirit Stage. However, his timing had been extraordinarily cunning, striking precisely when the three Dragon-Like Demon Gods were employing their absolute skills and the Little Dragon was counter-attacking with grit!

One must understand that even between two equally matched opponents, it was possible for one to slay the other in an extremely short time span. This is akin to how one mortal could potentially slay another with a single strike.

And that Primordial Spirit Cultivator, who took on the alias "Sha Liantai," had created that unusual scenario with a surprise attack! His clever insertion disrupted the defenses of the two Dragon-Like Demon Gods, allowing the Little Dragon to grievously wound both. Moreover, he temporarily isolated Chi Liu, thereby narrowing the gap in strength between the two sides!

Had it not been for him, the four Dragon-Like Demon Gods would have been capable of withstanding the Yang Flame Vortex unharmed!

After that, the spell he cast using the essence of Qiu Xianke overwhelmed tens of thousands of the Patrol Navy, robbing them of their combat capability. Were it not for that, those tens of thousands of Great Demons, heedless of casualties, could have retained both the man and the Holy Clan traitor. However, Chi Liu believed that it was a wide-impact spell traded off for killing power, its purpose being the spreading of poison to all members of the Demon Clan.

"Just a Primordial Spirit of the Human Clan good at using poison! Now that we're prepared, there's nothing to fear!" Chi Liu shouted, grasping the Pagoda: "Pursue them!"

However, the expected unified response did not occur. Instead, all subordinates were retreating in horror.

"What's going on?" Chi Liu looked at the Pagoda in his hand in confusion, and then his pupils shrank. The Pagoda was covered in cracks, and within those cracks, an undeniable golden light seeped through.

In a burst of blinding white light, Chi Liu, who had just begun to rise, fell once again.

The demons gazed at each other, wide-eyed in shock. Then, a Demon God of an unknown race bellowed: "We will pursue!"

Then, a young voice, fluent in the language of the Human Clan, emerged beside the group of demons: "You shall not pass."

Two hundred Transformation Sea Demons, cursed with the Heart Demon Curse by Wang Qi, arrayed at the edge of the demon beast horde. Their bodies emitted multicolored lights that soared above the demon beasts' heads, coalescing into the form of a little girl.

Manifesting the Heart Intent of the Heart Demon Curse, it perfectly embodied the Qi Intent of Mi. The demons were astonished, exclaiming, "Mahayana? Carefree?"

Whether in Battle Form or human shape, all the demons were over three meters tall. Not to mention the mountain-like giant clam that revealed itself in its Original Form. However, the form Mi manifested in this world was that of a little girl, a mere three feet tall.

The contrast between the two was stark, yet when standing side by side, the demons felt as though they were the insignificant ones, like mortals on the shore of the great ocean, straining their eyes to see across the vast expanse but failing utterly to grasp its immensity.

Such presence represented either Carefree or Mahayana!

The Innate Saint, Sea God Mi, had arrived!

Mi looked at these members of the Demon Clan and repeated her words: "You. Shall. Not. Pass."

——————————————————————————————

Within the chaotic space-time, Wang Qi clung to the Little Dragon, fearful that something might go awry with the Space Traversal Technique.

It had been Wang Qi's first time warping space with such tremendous strength. He was utterly incapable of fully controlling this terrifying power that even Divine Separation Stage Cultivators found daunting; he could only guide it with the Wanxiang Heavenly Attraction. Amidst the warped space, he felt a profoundly strange sensation, as if a thousand hands were squeezing his body from the outside in and another thousand were pulling from the inside out. An intense sense of vertigo attacked him once again. His Mana began to spiral out of control.

Then, with a jolt, he escaped that terror. Wang Qi plunged into the sea, unable to restrain the violent urge to heave, vomiting into the waters, while blood flowed from his nose. It was the Little Dragon who pulled him back to the surface.

Zhen Chan's weakened voice reached Wang Qi's mind: "Boy, be careful on your own, this old man can't hold on much longer, I need to rest..."

Wang Qi silently acknowledged this. After all, Zhen Chan was but a Residual Soul. His nature hadn't fallen, but his power was nowhere near what it once was. Moreover, having lost his Physical Body, the treasure raft for nurturing the soul, the exhaustion had been far too significant.

This battle had exacted a hefty toll. He had blood sacrificed two Divine Separation Level powerhouses on the spot, as well as nearly a hundred Nascent Soul Level demon beasts and Ancient Method Practitioners. Additionally, Zhen Chan, a Mahayana Level powerhouse, was almost certain to have damaged his roots. Then there was Mi, an entity at the True Immortal level, assisting from afar. Lastly, the ordinary demons had almost no resistance against the Heart Demon Curse. All these factors, combined, had granted Wang Qi such a magnificent victory.

Had the attackers been of the same quantity and Cultivation as the Ancient Method Practitioners, he wasn't sure if he could have achieved a similar feat.

"I'm still too weak," lamented Wang Qi to himself, then he said to the Little Dragon, "Hello, miss... Eh? What's this about?"

"Hmm?"

The girl, naked save for a pinkish-purple scarf wrapped around her, tilted her head quizzically. (To be continued. If you enjoy this novel, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
