Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World-Chapter 611 - 606 Servant of the Heavenly Demon? Killing the Demon Lord of the Skies_1
The Deceiving the Heavens Pearl affected the Demon Lord of the Skies’ judgment. The Mysterious Instrument crafted by Cabinet Bizarre also proved useful, as three Five Fire Golden Phoenixes, concealing their evil-suppressing power, materialized within the Demon Lord of the Skies’ body.
Thinking of using Heavenly Demon Disintegration? You’ll have to ask if I agree! Who could have predicted Jia Ren had such a move?!
Taken completely by surprise, the three Five Fire Golden Phoenixes, imbued with the Suppressing Demon Divine Light and Phoenix Flame, exploded within the Demon Lord of the Skies.
It had no chance to use Heavenly Demon Disintegration; it exploded first.
Anyone’s internal defenses are inherently fragile.
Even an existence comparable to the Mahayana Realm could not withstand such an attack from within.
The Heavenly Demon’s body burst open, golden light and Phoenix Flame dancing together.
The pervasive black miasma was entirely ignited by the Phoenix Flame, leaving nothing behind.
An ordinary cultivator, facing an internal explosion from such an overwhelmingly suppressive power, would have no chance of survival unless they possessed a technique like Blood Rebirth.
Heavenly Demons are different from normal cultivators. Their physical forms are mere manifestations; they can coalesce and disperse at will, making them incredibly difficult to kill.
"AH!"
The Heavenly Demon’s aura, now entwined with the Phoenix Flame, desperately tried to re-form and restore its original state, seeking any means of survival.
Would Jia Ren give the Demon Lord of the Skies a chance?
Once the opponent reconstituted its form, it could employ Heavenly Demon Disintegration and unknown Heavenly Demon Divine Skills.
If not for the Seal Demon Spirit Tower’s advancement to the Mahayana level, and the restraining properties of the Phoenix Flame, Jia Ren would have been no match for the Demon Lord of the Skies.
Strike while the enemy is vulnerable and finish them off! I cannot give the Demon Lord of the Skies even the slightest chance!
"Slash!"
Vast swathes of Suppressing Demon Divine Light interwove, forming an immense, intricate golden net. The strands of the net, sharp as blades, sliced the Demon Lord of the Skies’ body into thousands of pieces.
As its body was dissected, the golden net gradually transformed into numerous golden boxes, packing and sealing the pieces away, denying it any opportunity to reunite.
Its power, now scattered into myriad fragments, was unable to break the seal of the Zhemo Golden Light.
Countless screams erupted from within the golden boxes, an unending cacophony of agony.
"I can acknowledge you as my master! Please, grant me a path to survival!"
For the first time in its existence, the Demon Lord of the Skies felt the imminent danger of obliteration and desperately pleaded with Jia Ren for mercy.
It was an exact echo of their previous encounter, only their roles were now reversed.
The cycles of Heaven are just; retribution is inevitable.
The only way it could survive was to become a servant—a Mahayana Realm powerhouse serving as a subordinate, an unthinkable proposition.
Jia Ren was momentarily tempted. The Demon Lord of the Skies could serve as a powerful enforcer, a trump card for surprise attacks in critical battles.
However, he swiftly banished this notion.
Heavenly Demons are masters of manipulating hearts and minds. To an outsider, even the most ironclad contract would offer no true security against it.
If the Demon Lord of the Skies were to escape, news of the Phoenix Flame and the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower’s advancement would leak, inviting immense trouble.
The slightest miscalculation, should the Demon Lord of the Skies turn against him, could result in his death at its hands.
A servant? Utterly untrustworthy! He could only truly trust himself. He wouldn’t tolerate even the slightest risk.
"You’re better off dead. That would put my mind at ease," Jia Ren stated.
The Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower vibrated, absorbing each golden box into its core.
More Phoenix Flame surged forth, accelerating the incineration of the Demon Lord of the Skies.
It had to be admitted that the Demon Lord of the Skies was immensely powerful and deeply entrenched. Even with the restraining Phoenix Flame, it burned for over forty days before finally being reduced to nothing.
The Demon Lord of the Skies was dead, completely turned to ash.
The ashes coalesced, revealing a flawless Heavenly Demon Black Crystal.
This crystal was the condensed essence of a Heavenly Demon’s power. A Demonic God Pill refined from this material could tremendously strengthen one’s Divine Soul.
A Demonic God Pill refined from a Mahayana Realm Demon Lord was a priceless treasure, exceptionally potent for fortifying the Divine Soul.
Jia Ren carefully stored this item, planning to gather complementary Heavenly Earth Elixirs in the future to refine it into an Elixir.
With the Demon Lord of the Skies dead, the Heavenly Demon Tribulation concluded. Everything was settled.
Jia Ren slowly opened his eyes and couldn’t help but burst into hearty laughter.
His arduous cultivation and significant sacrifices had finally yielded a satisfying reward.
He had achieved the Body Integration Realm! He was now among the top powerhouses of the Mysterious Realm, and ascension to immortality was no longer an unattainable dream.
"Demon Lord of the Skies, you dared to attempt to possess the Second Elder of the Lingbao Sect! This enmity is irreconcilable!"
"Retreat now, and it’s not too late! Otherwise, I will surely suppress and kill you here!"
As Sect Master Yun Hu’s words fell, the light of the Teleportation Array in the sky above trembled, and one figure after another, radiating the aura of the Body Integration Realm, materialized.
Tian Lingzi took the lead, wielding the Xuantian Exquisite Pagoda; the aura of the Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure emanated from it like a terrifying spiritual tide.
Lord of Zhenxie Peak, Mixed Primordial Peak Master, Ninth Elder, and Tianfa Peak Master followed closely, their faces grim.
These were the Lingbao Sect Cultivators of the Body Integration Realm who had remained to guard the sect. Receiving an urgent message from Yun Hu, they had immediately brought the sect’s most treasured artifact to reinforce the Second Spirit Treasure Sect.
Relying solely on the Body Integration Realm cultivators of the Lingbao Sect, they would be no match for the Demon Lord of the Skies; the Xuantian Exquisite Pagoda was their true reliance.
This artifact possessed the power to suppress wicked and demonic entities, which was why the Demon Lord of the Skies dared not carelessly provoke the Lingbao Sect.
Tian Lingzi hadn’t expected Jia Ren’s breakthrough to the Body Integration Realm to attract a Demon Lord of the Skies; otherwise, he would have long stood guard with the Xuantian Exquisite Pagoda.
The six Body Integration Realm cultivators simultaneously poured their Spiritual Power into the Xuantian Exquisite Pagoda, enveloping the Second Spirit Treasure Sect in its jade-colored light.
They focused primarily on Jia Ren’s cave dwelling.
Six Body Integration Realm cultivators, in conjunction with the Xuantian Exquisite Pagoda, indeed possessed the ability to suppress the Demon Lord of the Skies.
It was the first time the cultivators of the Second Lingbao Sect had witnessed such a display, and their blood boiled with excitement.
The thought that their sect would go to such lengths to protect one of their own when facing a Heavenly Demon instilled a profound sense of belonging.
Wait, what’s going on with the Demon Lord of the Skies? And Second Elder? The cultivators were dumbfounded. Has the sect already appointed Jia Ren as Second Elder, right after he advanced to the Body Integration Realm?
Outside the cave dwelling’s formation, the atmosphere was tense, as if facing a formidable enemy, while inside, all was calm.
Seeing all the Body Integration Realm cultivators of the Lingbao Sect gathered, with Tian Lingzi even bringing the sect-guarding Xuantian Exquisite Pagoda, a current of warmth surged through Jia Ren’s heart.
There were too few people in the world willing to go all out for him; each one was precious.
"Thank you, Sect Master and Elders, for coming to my aid. I am unharmed."
The formation protecting his seclusion opened, and Jia Ren walked out from his cave dwelling, his gaze sweeping over the anxious crowd.
Tian Lingzi and the three Peak Masters remained skeptical, not daring to lower their guard.
Let alone a newly advanced Body Integration Realm cultivator, even a Mahayana Stage Cultivator lacking a corresponding treasure would be unable to contend with the Demon Lord of the Skies.
"The Sect Master should be aware of my lifebound Spiritual Treasure, the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower. This item happens to be the nemesis of the Demon Lord of the Skies. It has already been scared away by me."
If he spoke of killing the Demon Lord of the Skies, no one would believe him.
His Sky-reaching Spirit Treasure, the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower, couldn’t have achieved this alone. Furthermore, the Phoenix Flame and the power of Bizarre Demons were his secrets, not to be revealed.
Compared to that, claiming to have scared away the Demon Lord of the Skies was far more believable than claiming to have killed it.
"The Heavenly Demon is cunning. We are not certain if you have become its incarnation."
"Suppress!"
The Xuantian Exquisite Pagoda emitted a beam of light that landed on him, and an immense force pressed down.
Jia Ren’s entire body stiffened; his Spiritual Power and Divine Soul nearly froze.
So this is the power of a Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure? Truly formidable!
The Xuantian Exquisite Pagoda bore no killing intent. A current of its power circulated within his body, verifying whether he had been tainted by Heavenly Demon energy and turned into a controlled puppet.
The light circulated around him once and ultimately retreated, having found nothing.
Tian Lingzi and the others exchanged slightly surprised glances. They slowly retracted the Xuantian Exquisite Pagoda, and the powerful immobilizing force vanished.
The Xuantian Exquisite Pagoda also possessed a demon-suppressing effect. If Jia Ren had been contaminated by Heavenly Demon energy and become a puppet, he absolutely could not have concealed it.
The fact that Jia Ren was completely unharmed was astounding.
Did the Demon Lord of the Skies retreat out of fear of the Lingbao Sect’s Xuantian Exquisite Pagoda? That seemed the only plausible explanation.
"Now that you’re unharmed, we can rest assured!"
"What kind of entity is the Demon Lord of the Skies? How could it appear during a Body Integration Realm’s Heavenly Demon Tribulation? Thankfully, it was a false alarm."
When the members of the Lingbao Sect confirmed Jia Ren was unharmed, a great weight was lifted from their hearts.
The sect’s unparalleled prodigy was safe, and the emergence of a new Body Integration Realm cultivator was rare good news for the Lingbao Sect.
"The sect will hold an Integration Ceremony for you, and it will definitely be a grand occasion!" The Tianfa Peak Master laughed heartily, patting Jia Ren’s shoulder as he said this.
This served as a declaration of the Lingbao Sect’s strength. Every sect celebrated the advancement of a new Body Integration Realm cultivator with great fanfare.
If a Mahayana Stage cultivator emerged, the scale of celebration would be even more magnificent.
Jia Ren shook his head, declining Tianfa Peak Master’s kind offer. "What the Lingbao Sect lacks is not Body Integration Realm cultivators, but Mahayana Stage cultivators!"
Even before the Lingbao Sect’s wars with the Xuantiandao Sect and Beyond the Heavens, they had more Body Integration Realm cultivators.
Until a Mahayana Stage cultivator emerges, the Lingbao Sect cannot securely hold its position as a top sect in the Mysterious Realm, nor can it adequately protect its wealth and fend off external predators.
Although Jia Ren’s combat strength had greatly increased after advancing to the Body Integration Realm, it didn’t mean he was invincible.
Rashly exposing himself would mean losing the initiative and could even make him a target for his enemies.
It was better to remain a hidden trump card, capable of catching enemies off guard.
When the day truly came that he advanced to become a Mahayana Stage cultivator, it would not be too late to announce it to the world.
Jia Ren briefly shared his thoughts with Tian Lingzi and the other elders. They fell silent, remaining speechless for a long moment.
The emergence of a single Body Integration Realm cultivator indeed couldn’t decisively stabilize the sect. Only the birth of a Mahayana Stage cultivator could truly solidify the Lingbao Sect’s foundation.
Remaining hidden could indeed be a masterstroke.
"If you aren’t publicly announced, it will be difficult to officially grant you the position of Elder..."
"Very well, do as you wish." Tian Lingzi understood Jia Ren’s aversion to the spotlight and didn’t press the matter. If he wished to remain concealed, so be it.
With his astonishing cultivation speed, advancing to the Mahayana Realm wouldn’t take long—at most a thousand years or so.
Considering this, he didn’t try to persuade Jia Ren further.
"The sect cannot be without the Xuantian Exquisite Pagoda’s protection. We cannot linger here; we must return to the Main Sect immediately."
"Will you stabilize your cultivation realm in the Source Treasure Cave Heaven, or return to the sect with us?"
The Lingbao Sect’s experts and the Xuantian Exquisite Pagoda had all come to the Source Treasure Cave Heaven, weakening the Main Sect’s defenses.
Now that they had confirmed Jia Ren was safe, they dared not tarry, fearing that enemies might learn of their absence and exploit the vulnerability.
"I will return with you to the Lingbao Sect!"
The Source Treasure Cave Heaven was becoming less useful to him. It was time to return to the Mysterious Realm and resolve his master’s troubles.
