The First Immortal of Destiny-Chapter 433: Sudden Change_1

"BOOM!"

The Underground Palace magic treasure crashed headlong into the Demon Tide, mashing countless Heavenly Demons into pulp. Those lucky enough to survive were thrown into disarray, limbs lost or broken by the sudden impact.

Simultaneously, the spirit light enveloping the Underground Palace flickered, pulling over a thousand fierce Heavenly Demons into the palace.

Nearly a hundred Class III Heavenly Demons were yanked in, including several Class III Heavenly Demons that had veered away from the main battlefield towards Shen Mo. The rest were mostly Class II Heavenly Demons.

When Prince Yongzuo—secluded in the Underground Palace—made his move, Shen Mo quickly sensed that he had yet to form his Golden Core.

However, his Realm must have reached the threshold to perceive the secrets of the Golden Core, equivalent to the level of the Peak Masters of the Three Peaks of the Riverside Sect—a half step to Golden Core!

Over a thousand demon heads were pulled into the Underground Palace. Based on Shen Mo’s general understanding of the palace, their prospects seemed grim.

Not only were there Human Ghost armored soldiers within the palace, but also numerous Prohibition Arrays, and on top of it all, the powerful Prince Yongzuo. Unless an opponent was on par with him, survival was nearly impossible!

Prince Yongzuo is an ally, not a foe. While he disrupts the demons’ organization, it is the perfect opportunity for me to slay the enemy before me, Shen Mo thought.

A faint golden glow flashed on Shen Mo as he employed the Ride the Cloud magic and charged at the female demon head. With the Control Wind and Cloud Transformation Skills augmenting his escaping light, he arrived in front of this demon head in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it!" the female demon head cursed, her iron whip magic artifact cracking loudly.

Its power was extraordinary; even if a huge Tieshan were struck directly, it would instantly detonate and shatter into a pile of iron slag!

Shen Mo raised the Green Cloud Umbrella, successfully blocking all the whip shadows she cast. He didn’t even need to use defensive measures like the Wall Palm or Nine-Extreme Crystal Sand.

"Universal Starfall!"

Dazzling sword light flared. Empowered by the Skill, the might of the Starfall Sword reached an exceptionally terrifying level.

"CLANG!"

Amid the clear sound of metal clashing, the iron whip in the female demon head’s hand snapped into two pieces.

"PUFF!"

In the next instant, her Heavenly Demon body followed suit.

A sword wound extended from between her eyebrows down to her groin.

The foul stench of her demonic primality gushed out uncontrollably, along with Demonic Qi, spraying from the long, thin wound and dissipating into the heavens and earth.

A moment later, as terror and unwillingness filled her expression, her demonic body split in two with a sickening sound of tearing flesh, falling towards the sea below.

Shen Mo casually unleashed a brilliant sword light, completely shredding her two severed halves. Then, a pale golden spirit light swept up the female demon head’s belongings. After capturing a wisp of her residual aura into his identity jade pendant, he turned to eliminate the intellectual Heavenly Demon!

After dozens of breaths, the intellectual Heavenly Demon’s body was battered by the Palm, and Shen Mo soon decapitated it with a single sword strike.

However, the Seven Stars Altar’s Spell was too eerie and insidious, making it extremely difficult to guard against!

Shen Mo was hit by one of its extremely deadly Spells. Fortunately, his soul was illuminated by the Scorching Sun Soul Phase and protected by the pure soil of Green Cloud Peak, so he suffered no significant harm.

Before long, the bearded demon head’s many techniques were exhausted under the relentless assault of The Big Dipper Array, and he was ground to dust by its overwhelming power, utterly dead!

After wiping out the three major demon heads, Shen Mo summoned a few Demon Soul Generals imprinted with the Soul Splitting Rune and had them patrol the area.

At this time, besides the main battlefield at the fortress against the Demon Tide, dozens of large and small battle groups were scattered within a radius of two to three thousand miles.

On the cultivator side, most were powerhouses in the Spirit Sea Realm; even the weakest possessed middle-stage Spirit Sea Realm strength. Relying on their formidable combat prowess, they ventured out of the fortress to battle the Heavenly Demons.

Shen Mo even saw several figures from the Riverside Sect in the Spirit Sea Realm: core disciples, Elders from various halls, and even Rising Sun Peak Master Tang Lv!

The Heavenly Demons, leveraging their numerical superiority in Class III experts, typically ganged up on individual cultivators.

Only for Prince Yongzuo, who had rushed over from elsewhere, were the Heavenly Demons unable to dispatch an equivalent expert. Instead, they had to send late-stage and peak Class III demon heads to besiege his Underground Palace magic treasure!

It was clear that this Demon Tide was a ruthlessly launched offensive, meticulously planned by the Heavenly Demons.

Powerful cultivators at the early-stage Spirit Sea Realm and above, even Golden Core Realm patriarchs, had been assigned corresponding opponents to keep them suppressed, preventing them from freely slaughtering the Heavenly Demons in the tide.

Fortunately, the appearance of two variables, Shen Mo and Prince Yongzuo, had slightly slowed the Heavenly Demons’ offensive!

If nothing unexpected happened, the Heavenly Demons should not be able to breach any defensive fortresses today, at least!

Immediately, Shen Mo focused. He wielded the Demon Slaying Sword, controlled The Big Dipper Array, shook the Soul Refining Flag, and held up the Green Cloud Umbrella, all simultaneously, as he charged towards the fiercest part of the battle.

Terrifying sword light, a magnificent Formation, the Palm revealing the phantom of an ancient species, and powerful Demon Soul Generals, each with their own Skills—wherever Shen Mo passed, a bloody storm erupted!

Countless Heavenly Demons were reduced to heaps of mangled flesh and shattered corpses, falling into the sea to be tossed by the waves.

Even when the Heavenly Demon side successively dispatched late-stage and peak Class III demon heads to kill him, they were all slain by his Demon Slaying Sword.

Just when the situation looked highly favorable, the sky suddenly darkened.

The next moment, a heavy rain of blood poured down, covering thousands of miles and dyeing the entire sky a layer of blood red.

"WOO WOO~~~~"

A mournful ghost cry echoed all around. Though not loud, the sound was exceptionally clear, as if someone were weeping softly right beside one’s ear. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

This commotion startled both warring sides. Regardless of whether they were Body Tempering Realm cultivators or peak Class III demon heads, everyone could not help but look up at the sky!

"CRACK!"

The dark clouds seemed to split open.

A headless corpse fell from the clouds above. Before it could hit the ground, a Ghoul clad in armor and shimmering with golden light swooped down, hoisted the headless corpse onto its back, and flew towards You State.

This... Shen Mo’s expression changed slightly, his heart inexplicably shaken.

The torrential rain of blood from the sky and the cries reverberating in all directions were clearly an ominous sign. Coupled with the sight of the Ghoul in golden armor, it was easy to deduce that an accident had befallen a Golden Core Realm patriarch of the Ghost Corpse School!

Just as the Gold-Armored Ghoul flew far away carrying the headless corpse, a figure blazing with overwhelming Demonic Qi fell from the clouds.

Its appearance was also exceptionally tragic: only half a head remained on its shoulders, one thigh was gone, and a large gash on its torso exposed horrifying internal organs.

Even so, its aura was still extremely strong. Its remaining eye swept across all directions, and then it slowly raised the bow and arrow magic treasure in its hand.

"HUM!"

"HUMMM!"

As the arrow was nocked on the bowstring, the entire space seemed to tremble.

The waves instantly fell silent.

The spirit lights ignited by all kinds of magic, magic artifacts, and talismans dimmed.

Even the roars of battle and miserable screams from both sides strangely vanished. The battlefield fell into an eerie silence!
