Chapter 209

Xiao Jin!

Ribbit!

The golden toad flicked out its tongue and lunged at the Blood Demon.

Lu Xun went all out, turning himself into a massive black hole, frantically absorbing Dark Energy.

Originally, Lu Xun had intended to use some special containers to gather this Dark Energy for Murong Wan and the others to cultivate with.

Most of the Dark Energy in the storm center had already been stored by Lu Xun in spatial containers.

Now the Six Realms demon race is attacking, and Lu Xun doesn't have enough time.

Using his own body to absorb it is far faster than using spatial containers.

The remaining Dark Energy in the storm center surged frenziedly into his body.

Boom!

The bloody demonic qi and the golden toad's tongue collided with a boom, and the violent shockwave caused the surrounding storm to falter.

The golden toad's long tongue lashed out like lightning, piercing through the air with a speed so great that even an afterimage could barely be caught.

However, the Blood Demon let out a feral grin, the blood radiance on its demon blade surged, and it fiercely slashed!

Clang—

The blade light, like a blood-colored rainbow piercing the sky, actually knocked the golden toad's tongue aside.

In the next instant, the Blood Demon's form blurred, turning into a scarlet bolt of lightning that lunged straight at Lu Xun.

Just as he was about to succeed—

Swish!

Space twisted strangely for a moment, and the Blood Demon's figure inexplicably appeared several kilometers away in the storm's turbulence, as if forcibly transferred by some invisible force!

Space Shift?

The Blood Demon saw through Lu Xun's method and attacked again.

Several dozen demons were released by him from his domain.

After releasing those demons, the Blood Demon, bearing tremendous demonic might, attacked Lu Xun again.

Lu Xun pulled out a small magic staff with his left hand and pointed it at the Blood Demon once more.

Still coming!

The bloody domain surrounding the Blood Demon suddenly surged.

Lu Xun's Space Shift failed, and he could no longer shift the Blood Demon elsewhere.

Lu Xun's expression remained unchanged as he continually waved his magic staff.

Between the Blood Demon and him, Lu Xun created a large number of space traps.

These space traps are invisible and intangible; if one's strength is insufficient, they cannot be detected at all.

Don't look down on them just because they're makeshift; if a cultivator below the Fourth Realm enters, lacking a sufficiently powerful trump card, they're likely to be trapped inside for life.

Even a Fifth Realm cultivator would be trapped for a while.

However, the Blood Demon merely gave a feral grin, and the blood light on its demon blade blazed brightly.

His charging momentum showed no sign of waning; wherever his blade passed, the space traps shattered like thin paper.

Even so, these space traps still slightly reduced his speed.

That's all it was—a slight reduction.

Although Lu Xun's magical cultivation was skyrocketing, because there's no such thing as breaking through a limit in magic, his combat power wasn't actually outstanding.

If his martial or immortal cultivation reached the Fifth Realm, then despite the vast gap between the Sixth and Fifth Realms, Lu Xun could still fight across a major realm.

Lu Xun's progress on both the immortal and martial paths may have been a bit slow, but his combat power is extremely explosive.

And the further along, the more explosive it becomes.

In fact, Lu Xun's progress isn't slow either.

Which family's genius could, within a year of opening the meridians, possess cultivation like Lu Xun's?

"Ribbit!"

The golden toad came again, blocking in front of Lu Xun, and shot out its tongue to attack the blood demon.

"Boom!"

Lu Xun unleashed Thunder God's Wrath, and the blood demon's speed slowed further.

"The innate turbid qi is with him—kill him!"

Other demon tribes rushed to kill Lu Xun.

Innate turbid qi is extremely useful to the demon tribe.

Just like innate spiritual qi, for Immortal Cultivators it is likewise a supreme treasure.

The previous He family merely got lucky and obtained a strand of innate spiritual qi, then regarded it as a supreme treasure, and rashly tried to use it to force Chu Youqing into marriage.

At the center of this storm, there is indeed a mass of innate spiritual qi and innate candle qi.

These demon tribes have come precisely for the innate turbid qi; the Six Realms are the reinforcements they summoned.

Encountering Lu Xun was merely a coincidence.

Their strength is not weak; they have several at the fifth realm, and the rest are all at the fourth realm.

One demon tribe fifth-realm cultivator charged the fastest.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

Several dozen flying swords came shooting at us.

"Roar~~ Break it for me!"

The fifth-realm demon tribe cultivator's body seethed with demonic flames, yet could never shake off the flying swords that clung like a bone-deep maggot.

Just as he flew into a rage, a sudden stabbing pain struck his brow—an apparently ordinary sword Qi tore through the air toward him.

A flicker of contempt flashed in his eyes as he ruthlessly slashed out with his demon blade.

The energy level within that sword Qi felt to him only like the Five Realms.

He was reluctant to use his life-saving trump card.

Just this once being reluctant cost him any chance in this lifetime.

The sword Qi swept past.

The war blade in his hand was silently cut off, its upper half falling to the ground.

The body of the Five Realms demon clansman froze in place.

Only two seconds later, amidst the surging energy remnants around him, his body slowly shifted—from brow to groin, a hair-thin blood line gradually appeared.

Accompanied by a soft "hiss," this Five Realms demon clansman split apart like rotten wood and crashed to the ground.

Even in death, he never understood why that seemingly ordinary sword Qi could sever his demon body forged over decades.

The sword intent at the peak of the Transformation Level was truly terrifying.

Previously, when Lu Xun faced Five Realms opponents, only the martial cultivator's Eye Aperture Divine Ability was useful; other means posed little threat.

Now it's different,

His sword Qi, comparable to the Five Realms, combined with the Transformation Level sword intent, meant that an ordinary Five Realms fighter who didn't use a life-saving trump card could not withstand a single strike from Lu Xun.

"Be careful!"

"Fall back!"

The other demons sucked in a cold breath, finally realizing that Lu Xun was beyond their ability to contend with.

"Boom!"

At that very moment, the Blood Demon shattered all of Lu Xun's traps, punched the Golden Toad's tongue away, and surged forward with murderous vigor.

What awaited him was a string of incantations from Lu Xun.

The Blood Demon's body was instantly immobilized.

"Xiao Jin, go!"

After immobilizing the Blood Demon, Lu Xun did not attack but immediately leapt into Xiao Jin's mouth.

In the time he had just bought, Lu Xun had already sucked almost all of the Dark Energy from this place.

We can withdraw now.

He actually still had some tricks up his sleeve.

For example, the Sword Heart Stone belonging to Murong Wan was actually in his hand as well.

But the last time he used the Sword Heart Stone, it failed to kill a half-step Six Realms opponent in one blow, making Lu Xun unwilling to lightly employ this trump card.

Even a half-step Six Realms is that hard to kill.

This Blood Demon, being a Six Realms entity, would have even more trump cards.

Using the Sword Heart Stone might not be effective.

Therefore, while the Blood Demon is held by the Immobilization Spell, fleeing is the best course.

The Immobilization Spell automatically dispels upon receiving a certain strength of attack; attacking the Blood Demon now would be like giving it a chance to break free.

"Ribbit!"

Xiao Jin bore Lu Xun on its back, leapt suddenly, and entered the storm.

"He got away!"

"Lord Yu!"

Seeing Xiao Jin flee, the demon clan was utterly helpless.

Lu Xun had just slain a Five Realms opponent with a single sword strike, terrifying them all.

Coupled with the Blood Demon's complete immobility, they were utterly bewildered.

"Damn it!"

The Blood Demon watched helplessly as Lu Xun escaped, his fury reaching its peak.

"Crack!"

Merely half a minute later, the Blood Demon forcibly broke free of the Immobilization Spell.

He unfurled his domain, sucking in the other demons, then turned into a bolt of lightning and chased after the direction the Golden Toad had fled.

"Where did they go?"

But by the time he burst out of the storm, Lu Xun and Xiao Jin had already vanished without a trace.

The demon clan's perception of aura is extraordinarily keen.

However, since Lu Xun hid inside Xiao Jin's mouth, and Xiao Jin being a Spiritual Guilt left no trace of aura.

He couldn't even detect a trace of aura.

"Lord Yu, this human seems to be Lu Xun."

A demon clansman suddenly said.

"I also think so; his strength clearly isn't Six Realms, yet he could hold off Lord Yu for a while—it must be Lu Xun without doubt."

Another demon clansman also recognized Lu Xun.

"Lu Xun... is he the one wanted by the Holy Hall?"

The Blood Demon asked.

"Sir, it is indeed him."

The demon clansmen all nodded.

"No wonder he's so formidable, but you'd better not think of escaping!"

After learning Lu Xun's identity, the Blood Demon pulled out a black cicada from his bosom.

"Wow, a six-winged mother-child cicada."

The other demons couldn't help but envy.

Mother-child cicada, this is a type of demon cicada extremely rare cultivated by the demons.

Between the child cicada and the mother cicada, they can communicate telepathically over a great distance.

The stronger the mother-child cicada, the less it is limited by distance.

Whether they are strong or not depends on how many wings they have.

A pair of wings counts as one wing.

A mother-child cicada with six pairs of wings is quite rare.

The Blood Demon murmured to this cicada with six pairs of wings, saying:

"These guys, how can they be so fast?"

Two days later, Lu Xun furrowed his brows.

The passage is about to appear.

After hiding for two days, he sneaked nearby and then used the Heavenly Dao Eye to check the situation.

Upon looking, he indeed found demons nearby.

Needless to say, the demons somehow learned the passage's location and set an ambush there in advance.

His improved attainment in formations allowed Lu Xun to make more discoveries.

The demons not only blocked the passage entrance but also laid a demonic formation nearby to prevent Lu Xun from passing through the passage back to Lan Xing.

"After using a spell on the same person once, using it a second time has almost no effect—this is troublesome."

Lu Xun felt it was tricky.

Within a certain period, a spell can be used only once on the same person.

Unless another person is found to use the spell.

Of course, Lu Xun is not without options.

He still has a Heavenly Dao talisman.

The Heavenly Dao talisman is hard to come by; Lu Xun does not want to use it unless absolutely necessary.

"Let's try forcing our way through."

Lu Xun slowly sneaked over.

When there were still a few minutes before the passage appeared, he suddenly burst forth and ruthlessly charged over.

"He's here!"

"You want to run?"

A large number of demons rushed out.

Leading them was none other than the Blood Demon.

"Boom—rumble!"

The demonic formation rose simultaneously, completely sealing off the area where the passage was.

After Lu Xun launched a few attacks from afar, he found he couldn't break through and swiftly retreated.

"You've come all this way, and you still want to run?"

A demon suddenly blocked his path.

"Six Realms?"

Lu Xun's heart sank.

This is another Six Realms demon.

Seeing the Blood Demon about to arrive, Lu Xun hesitated no longer and used the immobilization spell again to immobilize this Six Realms demon.

Then, he moved his body and quickly vanished.

"He still got away!"

Half an hour later, the Blood Demon's face was full of anger.

Although he gave chase immediately, he still lost him.

Little Gold's legs weren't injured; its running speed is extraordinarily fast.

Moreover, Lu Xun also has spatial means.

"You guard the passage; I'll go after him."

"Good!"

The two Six Realms demons quickly came to an agreement.

One would block the passage, the other would chase Lu Xun.

"There are more and more people."

A few days later, in a cave, Lu Xun hid in a distorted space, observing the outside situation.

As days passed, the number of demons entering this Spirit Realm kept increasing.

Another Six Realms demon arrived.

They searched everywhere for Lu Xun, and since this Spirit Realm isn't large, Lu Xun's situation grew increasingly dire.

"Is ten thousand cubic meters of Dark Energy really that tempting to Six Realms beings?"

Lu Xun frowned.

Perhaps obtaining Dark Energy isn't that difficult for Lu Xun, so he feels he may have underestimated the allure of ten thousand cubic meters of Dark Energy.

He judges others by his own standards, just as a billionaire would find it strange that someone would kill over a few thousand dollars in unpaid wages.

Or rather, besides ten thousand cubic Dark Energy, what other conditions did the demon race attach, so as to attract three demon race Six Realms?

「Right, system, I'm being hunted like this by the demon race; can I cultivate on my own now? 」

Lu Xun suddenly thought of something.

The system doesn't let him cultivate on his own, saying that would expose the Chaos Divine Body, causing him to face certain death each time he enters an Ancient Road Node.

But now, the demon race is hunting him like this; does it matter whether he exposes himself or not?

【The heaven-defying aspect of the Chaos Divine Body lies in its ability to accommodate any race's power, to take any cultivation path; if the host exposes the Chaos Divine Body, it will alarm who knows how many sleeping ancient powerhouses, their lifespans will be exhausted, and the host will be their best vessel.】

【Before the host undergoes the tribulation, self-cultivation is prohibited.】

The system gave the answer.

This time, it also gave a clear time point.

Before the tribulation.

That is, after the Nine Realms.

"Sleeping ancient powerhouses?"

Lu Xun vaguely grasped something.

Chaos Divine Body, it can accommodate any power.

Again, an extraordinarily heaven-defying physique.

If exposed, who knows how many ancient powerhouses might be tempted.

Just like the green-clothed man Lu Xun saw in the ancient cultivator's cave.

If the green-clothed man weren't so obstinate, single-mindedly wanting to refine Southern Ming Separation Fire, he might not have died; there's a great possibility he could have survived to the present.

And if he had survived to the present but couldn't continue breaking through, perhaps his lifespan is near its end, and he can only sleep.

At this point, if one saw an ultimate physique capable of accommodating all powers, would such a powerhouse be tempted?

Human powerhouses might still be okay.

As for powerhouses of other races, that's not necessarily the case.

The current demon race kill order also tempts some Six Realms demon race.

Lu Xun looks difficult, but actually he's still handling it with ease.

If the Chaos Divine Body were exposed, a group of Tenth Realm or even above Tenth Realm old monsters would come... then Lu Xun would cry.

"You think I'm easy to bully, right?"

After hiding for a few days, Lu Xun decided to change his approach.

Just three Six Realms.

If we can't beat them, can't we run?

「Put down the battle flag. 」

"Yes, Sir."

On a planet fragment, a group of demon race people were setting up a formation.

They prepared to lay down a large number of demonic formations for surveillance, leaving Lu Xun nowhere to escape.

Since the Six Realms were not far away, this group of demon race people weren't overly worried.

"Ribbit~"

Suddenly, a golden toad leapt out, flicked its tongue, and killed two demon race Fourth Realm cultivators.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

Immediately after, Lu Xun killed his way out, the flying sword ran rampant, sword qi crisscrossed, and he made that group of demon race howl in pain.

"Damn it!"

When the demon race Six Realms arrived, the demon race here had already been burned to ashes by Southern Ming Separation Fire.

Except for a demon race Fifth Realm who immediately used his trump card to escape, all other demon race were slaughtered.

And Lu Xun had long since vanished without a trace.

"Damn it!"

Half a day later, another demon race Six Realms was also livid with anger.

Because Lu Xun again killed several of his nearby demon race, then fled in a panic.

A little rat being hunted by them is still so arrogant.

How could he not be angry?
