I Seize Opportunities With My Life Script System

At this moment, within the Destruction Whirlpool.

Fu Zu and Jiu Yin Shengren still sat facing each other as before.

The Futian Treasure Domain's Great Dao artifact emitted a faint radiance, protecting Fu Zu and Jiu Yin Shengren from the encroaching demonic qi.

Outside the Futian Treasure Domain stood more than a dozen Demon Saints watching like predators.

Only a few of these Demon Saints came from the Five Sacred Demon Kingdom.

The rest hailed from a nearby heaven, belonging to the Corpse-Beast Demon Kingdom.

The Corpse-Beast Demon Kingdom was almost entirely composed of the Shi Division demon clans.

Its power was only slightly inferior to the Five Sacred Demon Kingdom.

The two sides often cooperated, yet competition was common.

Among them, many acted with malice.

They had been the ones who actually discovered Fu Zu and Jiu Yin Shengren originally.

To keep the two of them under control here, they had to borrow troops from the nearest Corpse-Beast Demon Kingdom.

Now, however, the Demon Saints of the Corpse-Beast Demon Kingdom had driven away most of the Five Sacred Demon Kingdom's forces and fully seized control of this place.

Only three Demon Saints from the Five Sacred Demon Kingdom remained, trading their presence for intelligence.

After all, this location was too far from the Five Sacred Demon Kingdom and too near to the Corpse-Beast Demon Kingdom.

Reinforcements were simply out of reach.

Not far from Fu Zu and Jiu Yin Shengren, another battle raged.

Shen Huang, Long Gui, and Tian Hu, three Beast Saints, were trapped under the combined assault of five Demon Saints from the Corpse-Beast Demon Kingdom.

They had come to rescue Fu Zu and Jiu Yin Shengren, but had fallen into the Demon Saints' trap.

Leading them, a Demon Saint named Shi Cangling sneered, "Why do you still not submit? If you keep wasting time like this, the Corpse-Beast Demon Kingdom will win!"

Shen Huang, Long Gui, and Tian Hu remained silent.

Shi Cangling snorted coldly and then returned to the Futian Treasure Domain's perimeter.

"If you give up the information about the Ancestral Demon Soil's whereabouts, we will let you go," he said.

Jiu Yin Shengren sneered, "What does knowing or not knowing change?"

"Even if I knew the location of the Ancestral Demon Soil, I would not tell you."

Shi Cangling fumed, but had no way to force them.

The Futian Treasure Domain was exceptionally restraining to demonic qi.

This Great Dao artifact stood like a pillar for hundreds of years without showing any sign of collapse.

They could only keep adding Demon Saints again and again.

But if they continued pouring in more Demon Saints, the Corpse-Beast Demon Kingdom itself would be left hollow.

If humans, beasts, or dragons from other heavens attacked, they could face disaster.

This was the reason for the stalemate.

Humans, beasts, dragons, and even demons all had their own calculations and concerns.

Many things were not simply black or white, not strictly good or bad.

"Keeping this up benefits us," Shi Cangling said coldly.

"More Saint Realms will inevitably come to rescue them. We will intercept reinforcements and defeat them."

A Demon Saint suddenly reported, "Four Demon Lords, a human-realm Saint Realm is approaching!"

The Corpse-Beast Demon Kingdom's four strongest Demon Saints were titled Demon Lords, and Shi Cangling was one of them.

"Good timing! Bring that Saint here, and torture him to death before their eyes!" Shi Cangling sneered.

Demons had never been bound by ordinary morals.

If a goal could be achieved, anything was permissible.

"Yes!"

Two Demon Saints immediately took the order and departed.

Fu Zu sighed lightly. "Another Saint Realm comes—perhaps an old friend."

Jiu Yin Shengren remained silent.

Centuries ago, other Saint Realms had come to rescue them as well.

Unfortunately, aside from the three Beast Saints including Shen Huang, the other rescuing Saint Realms had all been killed or grievously wounded.

These Demon clans truly excelled at besieging a point and intercepting reinforcements.

Shi Cangling watched the two Demon Saints depart, then turned toward Fu Zu and Jiu Yin Shengren with a strange laugh.

"Take a guess, how long will this new Saint Realm last?"

"One hour? Two hours?"

"Or perhaps a day? Two days?"

The two remained silent.

Fu Zu simply closed his eyes, sparing himself the annoyance.

Seeing their reaction, Shi Cangling burst into wild laughter.

He had guarded this place for far too long, and his only amusement was watching the two of them suffer.

Yet not long after, a figure came rushing back at great speed.

Shi Cangling frowned.

Two had left, but only one returned.

The new Saint was quite strong.

Facing two at once, he had actually slain one of the Corpse-Beast Demon Kingdom's Demon Saints!

These Demon Saints stationed near the Destruction Whirlpool were all Chidi third stage, his most trusted subordinates with formidable strength.

Just as Shi Cangling was about to speak, eighteen green lotus seeds tore through the void.

The lotus seeds accelerated in midair, swelling larger and larger.

In mere moments, they became blazing fire meteors, hurtling straight toward Shi Cangling.

The turbulent void currents here did nothing to slow them.

Instead, they made them even faster.

The lotus seeds carried immense power, as though they could pierce through a minor world.

Shi Cangling felt the terrifying might and his face instantly changed.

He hurriedly summoned a bronze bell.

The bell radiated demonic qi, wreathed in wailing ghosts and vengeful spirits, frightening and ghastly.

Clang, clang.

The bell trembled.

In the blink of an eye, it swelled and grew.

In an instant, it stood like a small star before Shi Cangling.

Boom!

Eighteen lotus seeds slammed into the bell.

The clash erupted with a deafening roar.

Shi Cangling's face turned grim.

His prized Evil Demon Bell let out a miserable wail under the onslaught of those lotus seeds.

Clearly, the bell was buckling under the weight of the assault.

Shi Cangling spat several mouthfuls of essence blood onto the bell.

Only then did the trembling Evil Demon Bell steady itself.

Fu Zu and Jiu Yin Shengren both let out a surprised sound.

"What a formidable artifact!"

"Merely a supreme-grade artifact, yet it can force a Great Dao artifact into such cries?"

Fu Zu exclaimed in astonishment.

The world knew him as the Saint of Talismans, but few realized his attainments in artifact crafting surpassed all others.

With one glance he discerned that the eighteen lotus seeds were only supreme-grade artifacts, not yet at the level of a Great Dao artifact.

Jiu Yin Shengren, however, said calmly, "The artifact itself is secondary. The attached Daos are what overwhelm the Evil Demon Bell."

"Look closely—the eighteen lotus seeds carry at least three Daos."

"The Dao of Void, the Dao of Strength, and the Dao of Fire."

"Moreover, the Dao of Void and the Dao of Strength are both extraordinary."

Fu Zu observed carefully and soon noticed the same.

He clicked his tongue in amazement. "Old thing, your eyesight in this regard surpasses mine."

Jiu Yin Shengren sneered, "Of course. Otherwise, how could I have suppressed you steadily for over a hundred thousand years?"

Fu Zu scoffed, "I only let you win to give you some face."

Jiu Yin Shengren sneered again, clearly not taking his words seriously.

"Look, that new Saint has revealed himself."

Fu Zu suddenly pointed toward the distant void.

Jiu Yin Shengren looked over and immediately saw a figure stepping on a lotus, striding through the air.

"Unite!"

The man's clear voice rang out.

The green lotus seeds, the black lotus hand, and the jade lotus flower merged into one.

The Great Dao artifact, Purifying World Green Lotus!
