Chapter 419

The Demon Sect is a major faction in the North King Time Domain that has long since lost its influence.

This follows several successive Immortal Emperors of the North King Time Domain maintaining an attitude of suppression and extermination toward the Demon Sect.

Over the accumulation of tens of thousands of years.

Whether it be the Three Great Alliances or those small and medium-sized forces, there are no longer any public Demon Sect forces appearing.

Even if a Small World has just entered the world, once its fundamental Dharma lineage is exposed as being related to the Demon Sect.

It will inevitably invite a joint strangulation by forces led by the Three Great Alliances.

It is just that, while they no longer exist on the surface and small and medium-sized forces have little opportunity to come into contact with them.

This does not mean that the Dharma lineages related to the Demon Sect have truly gone extinct.

On the contrary, within the high echelons of the Three Great Alliances, everyone knows that the other side has preserved quite a lot of knowledge and heritage related to the Demon Sect.

There is no help for it; the fact that the Demon Sect was able to rise and later incite public anger shows that it indeed has its unique aspects.

Furthermore, in terms of controlling human hearts and prolonging life, the Evil Arts of the Demon Sect are indeed outstanding.

Because of this, even though they clearly know that Demon Sect knowledge is problematic and that practicing these Secret Techniques may lead to becoming possessed by the devil and being subjected to unknown influences.

There is still no shortage of high-level Cultivators who cannot resist trying them.

It is just that the Three Great Alliances generally turn a blind eye to these behaviors by their own people.

Unless you truly become possessed by the devil and cannot control yourself.

Otherwise, the Three Great Alliances cannot bring themselves to perform the act of destroying their own kin for the sake of righteousness.

Of course, high-level figures involved with Demon Sect Evil Arts are usually tacitly excluded from the core circle and find it difficult to access the most important secrets.

They can only serve as a tool for a force.

Tian Rulai introduced the current situation of the Demon Sect to Su Ping.

Then, Tian Rulai looked at the Black Line Worm and said:

"This object is called a Heavenly Demon Larva; generally speaking, it is mostly used to control one's own disciples raised from a young age."

"Because this worm is implanted from a young age, it grows together with the host, ensuring that even after the host's cultivation level increases to a very high degree, they still cannot resist the practitioner."

At this, he sighed softly:

"It is just a pity that to successfully refine this object, one must be proficient in the Heavenly Demon Precious Canon and receive the Demon Venerable's guidance through an Enter Dream."

"Practicing Magic Art so deeply is truly too dangerous for many of us Cultivators."

"It is only that Old Heavenly Immortal from the Cao Family who, in such a special situation, is willing to take this risk."

After listening to Tian Rulai's explanation, Su Ping nodded slightly.

He also felt a little relieved in his heart; the Demon Sect currently does not exist as a major force on the surface.

It is more like a cultivation method with extremely high side effects.

Seen that way, the potential enemy he might encounter is mainly an aging Heavenly Immortal; the problem should not be big!

Afterwards, Su Ping no longer held back against the Black Line Worm and directly released the Five-Colored Divine Light to annihilate it.

In order to thank Tian Rulai for clearing up his confusion.

Su Ping also realized that preaching to the Great Thousand Worlds for him was providing great assistance.

He had decided that he could conduct more research competitions related to the Great Freedom Bright Light Mantra.

He would invite those scholars and High Monks to enter the Sun Moon Star Chart Small World and then show their faces here in the Cultivation World.

This was also a little piece of knowledge Su Ping had summarized from experience.

There is a huge chasm between the plane where Water Blue Star is located and the Cultivation World, isolating all influences except those produced by the Pot Heaven.

However, for those who have learned the relevant Dharma lineages, as long as they are brought to the Cultivation World—even if they do not appear, but are just in Su Ping's various Small Worlds at the time.

The Great Dao laws in the dark will cause these people's insights into the Dharma lineage and various mysterious reactions to all superimpose onto the path where that Dharma lineage resides.

This allows the person who passed down this path to receive various mysterious benefits.

This is also the orthodox cultivation path of the Cultivation World.

Except for Su Ping, because he possesses an endless starry sky world where Water Blue Star is located.

He does not need to walk this path of preaching, but only needs to continuously accumulate Spirit Stones and then eat, eat, eat facing the planet.

The Cao Family's reaction came faster than expected.

In all likelihood, that Old Heavenly Immortal of the Cao Family sensed that the young master was not dead and that his own secrets had been discovered.

That was a huge black palace-shaped Immortal Boat that suddenly jumped out from the nearest Space-Time Torrent.

It presented an overall pyramid structure, except that the very top was a Black Obsidian sphere with a diameter exceeding one thousand meters.

On the black walls, circles of Golden Immortal Text were constantly jumping and wandering as if they had life.

Upon its debut, it immediately attracted the attention of the Cultivators of the Xuanling World.

There is no help for it; this Cao Family Immortal Boat simply does not know how to write the word "low-key."

The terrifying Dharma Power fluctuations directly swept across the Shikong Haiyu in all directions.

It almost announced their arrival to nearly half of the Xiayu.

"Is that the Dao Alliance's Hall-Level Immortal Boat?"

"It is rumored that an Eighth-Tier Great Array is deployed on it, and at least three Eighth-Tier Divine Weapons or treasures of the same level are installed."

"Coupled with tens of thousands of crew members who are Golden Core Cultivators or above, and hundreds of Array Masters who are Spirit Severing or above."

"A single Hall-Level Immortal Boat is enough to easily crush a small force!"

"Yes, and on this Immortal Boat, at least one Dao Lord and two Dao Integration Immortals have their auras deliberately released."

"This is a configuration to demand an explanation from the Xuanling World, right?"

Cultivators who are still in the Xuanling World today have all experienced or heard about the recent incident involving the Cao Family's young master.

Seeing an Immortal Boat with obvious Dao Alliance characteristics appear, they naturally made the connection.

Immediately, some people began lining up to board ships and evacuate this place of trouble.

There were also those bold enough to choose to stay, expressing their support for Lu Zhanglao and the others of the Xuanling World.

Even for a veteran Heavenly Immortal from a major power in the Dao Alliance.

One still has to follow the rules when doing things, right?

Su Ping did not want to turn the Xuanling World into a battlefield, as it was a place for sustainable development.

So he had his Primordial Spirit Avatar step out and block the front of this Heise Xianzhou.

This massive Immortal Boat was aggressive at the start.

However, after observing through the Array that the reports about the Broken Martial World were true.

It slowly reduced its speed the moment Su Ping's Primordial Spirit Avatar appeared.

For a faction that possesses a Heavenly Immortal, a certain amount of respect and face must still be given.

Until the Cao Family's head steward on the Heise Xianzhou tactfully indicated that as long as the Xuanling World released the Cao Family's young and old, and returned the captured larvae, the matter would be considered over.

This head steward did not expect that his proposal would be flatly rejected by the other party.

Furthermore, he soon learned from the Array on the rear side.

The other party had actually broadcast their conversation live to hundreds of millions of Cultivators within the Xuanling World!

With this, it would not be long before the entire Xiayu knew of this matter.

The head steward's heart sank, and in the instant his brain was filled with anger.

This Great Vehicle Dao Lord, who had weathered thousands of years of storms, suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

"The other party... this is clearly deliberately provoking us!"

"What exactly does the other party want? Reputation? Offending a Heavenly Immortal for the sake of reputation?"

The head steward could not understand.

And he would never guess that Su Ping really was doing it for reputation.

A reputation for not even giving face to a Heavenly Immortal family.

It would be enough to resound throughout the entire Xiayu in a short time, and it would not be impossible for it to even break out of its circle and radiate to the surrounding Shikong Haiyu.

At the same time, as the lead-in to this story, the fact that the Xuanling World also wanted Spirit Herbs from a Heavenly Immortal could naturally be widely publicized as well!

For Su Ping, at this very moment, there was nothing more important than attracting a massive flow of Spirit Stones.

"The Cao Family's face cannot be lost!"

"The other party has no intention of talking, so let's fight!"

The head steward gritted his teeth and made the decision to start the war.

Afterward, he flashed to the core area of the Array and took out a Black Talisman given to him by his master, in case of an emergency.

Under the illumination of countless distant starlight, in the Shikong Haiyu that was neither bright nor dark.

The Heise Xianzhou launched the first attack, and the Black Obsidian sphere at its top fired a black light toward Su Ping's Primordial Spirit Avatar.

Yet, while still halfway there, it was blocked by the shell of the Xuangui Baxia that had suddenly appeared.

Afterward, the Xuangui Baxia retracted its head into its shell and spun its body, turning into a spiral dart and crashing over.

At this time, the Xuangui Baxia's size had reached the maximum of its current realm, with a diameter exceeding 100,000 meters and a height of over 10,000 meters.

From the outside, it did not look much smaller than that Hall-Level Heise Xianzhou.

Boom!

The Xuangui Baxia crashed into the shield, and the light that bloomed in that instant could make observing Cultivators outside mistakenly believe a new Sun had been born.

And in the instant that Sun appeared and vanished.

The Xuangui Baxia, which had approached the shield of the Heise Xianzhou, opened its large mouth while hiding in its shell and spat out the high-yield Nuclear Warheads stored inside.

It transformed into a heartless nuclear missile launcher.

In an instant, at the moment when the Cultivators controlling the Array of the Hall-Level Immortal Boat had not yet reacted.

It caused the majority of the shield's surface area to withstand the power of nuclear explosions detonating almost simultaneously!

Hundreds and thousands of small Suns appeared.

Instantly maxing out the pressure on the Immortal Boat's Array.

Causing the Array Masters to turn pale one by one, with blood flowing from the corners of their mouths.

And just as the head steward on the side noticed something was wrong and hurriedly requested support.

Before the support could arrive.

Following a Space Fluctuation, a Space Crack split open a thousand meters outside the shield.

It was the Queen of Space, who had seized the opportunity to strike after being summoned.

She did not do anything particularly strenuous; she simply used her divine ability to help Su Ping's Primordial Spirit Avatar stick a large stack of over a hundred Boundary-Breaking Talismans, which had been reinforced with Su Ping's blood, onto the weakest point of the enemy's shield caused by the nuclear explosions.

As these Boundary-Breaking Talismans, which were originally only Sixth Realm but had reached the level of Seventh Realm superior grade due to reinforcement, all took effect at once!

A crisp, pleasant sound could be heard throughout the airspace for a million miles!

Following that, spiderweb-like cracks appeared in all directions of the Heise Xianzhou.

Then they all shattered at once!

Ah!

The Array Masters inside the Immortal Boat were also struck as if by lightning, and they all withered away one by one.

The head steward's expression changed because of this.

He recalled the sensation from that very moment.

No longer hesitating, he hurriedly used the Black Talisman in his hand.

Immediately!

A mass of black mist suddenly emerged inside the Immortal Boat.

Then, following this, the black mist swished and dispersed, swallowing the fallen Array Master.

Under the head steward's gaze of shock and fear, it condensed into a gaunt, bald old man with a hawk-like gaze and wolf-like suspicion.

This old man wore a manifested dark black robe with gilded patterns.

After glancing at the head steward, he learned everything.

Then, he softly uttered "interesting," and the moment his divine sense was released,

his expression was already one of wild ecstasy.

"When did so many good things appear in this remote Xiayu?"

"There is actually Five-Colored Divine Light on the Avatar's Primordial Spirit!"

"And a Xuangui Baxia with a royal Bloodline!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Destiny is truly with this seat!"

"This seat will surely attain Changsheng and become the new Demon Venerable of this Time Domain!"

"You have done well this time!"

The Old Heavenly Immortal nodded slightly, then thought for a moment and reached out his skeletal right hand, grabbing the head steward in one motion:

"This seat rewards you with early entry into this seat's Magic Prison to attain Great Freedom!"

The head steward's face was filled with terror; he instinctively wanted to resist, but felt something move within his Divine Soul.

Instantly, all means of resistance vanished completely.

He could only watch helplessly as his master took action and swallowed his primordial spirit into the Small World.

His physical body and Divine Soul turned into flowing light, becoming the master's supplement, causing the master's body, formed from black mist, to transform from void to reality, and his aura completely evolved to the level of a true Heavenly Immortal.

Seeing this, the head steward accepted reality, feeling that his sacrifice was meaningful.

This head steward suddenly discovered that the style of the master's Small World he had entered seemed... a little bit wrong?

Was this still the world inside the master that he had seen before, full of birdsong and fragrant flowers, just like the descriptions of the Immortal World?

Why was there a dark, blood-red color everywhere?

Why were there three Black Suns hanging high in the blood-colored sky?

And looking closely, on the surface of the Black Suns, were there not many Cultivator souls with only the parts above their necks exposed, letting out desperate screams there?

Moreover, among those screaming souls, why were quite a few Cultivators rather familiar?

The head steward's primordial spirit began to tremble.

He had seen acquaintances on the surface of the suns, shockingly including the Cao Family's direct-line prodigies who were thought to have failed their tribulation.

There were the young masters and misses he had watched grow up, and the loyal servants and retainers just like him.

And there were... various high-level Cultivators from the same sect as the Old Heavenly Immortal Cao or different sects, but all part of the Dao Alliance lineage.

"Master... old master... is afraid he has long since fallen into demonic obsession."

As the head steward, he naturally knew that the Old Heavenly Immortal had long been researching Demon Sect Evil Art to extend his life.

Although it was somewhat harmful to heaven and reason.

But in the head steward's view, as a Daoist Heavenly Immortal, as long as the old master lived, he could save countless more living beings than he consumed.

By comparison, those costs for life extension were clearly worth it.

Those chosen could only be said to have bad luck.

But now it seemed that the thing he worried about most had been happening all along.

The old master... had ultimately fallen into the demonic path!

The head steward sighed, and his primordial spirit suddenly erupted with blinding light.

The next instant, seeing that this Small World was about to be blown open with a hole difficult to mend.

He saw a Blank Card with a pale purple border appear in mid-air.

Immediately, the head steward's primordial spirit, which was preparing to self-destruct, vanished from the spot, and instead, as if time had stopped, it was frozen inside the card.

Swish, swish, swish!

The sound of shuffling cards appeared in the sky.

Soon, Xuangui Baxia, who was crashing into the shield of the vanished Immortal Boat's main body, suddenly noticed an old man in a black robe appearing in front.

Then the other party held up a small card in his hand.

It made Baxia feel threatened!
