Chapter 184: Immortal-Demon Seventh Molt

The lifespan of the demons and monsters vanished like flowing water.

The demon core in Shen Yi's mouth rapidly melted into vast demonic power.

The most formidable aspect of the Immortal-Demon Nine Molts lies in the fact that each advancement raises the original upper limit of that realm.

During the Sixth Molt, it took over five thousand years, yet it succeeded with just one Bai Lu's demon core.

In comparison, the cultivation contained within the Green-Faced Lion's demon core was several times more abundant than that of the Bai Lu, yet according to the prompt on the panel, a single one was far from enough.

【Year 3200, you successfully tamed the Green-Faced Lion's demonic power and skillfully swallowed the second demon core...】

With the formidable body of the Sixth Molt as a foundation, the absorption efficiency multiplied several times over again!

Soon, the second lion demon core was also completely digested.

Shen Yi looked at the panel, which still showed no successful breakthrough, hesitated for a moment, then took out the inner core of the Bai Yu Rabbit Demon and placed it in his mouth.

Two against one, there shouldn't be a loss, right?

Compared to the Rabbit Demon's Illusion Form Technique, he desired the Green-Faced Lion's Yin Wind Divine Ability more.

At this moment, a terrifying Immortal-Demon formed from the lifelong cultivation of three Embracing Elixir Realm Demon Lords was gradually taking shape.

Three newly born demon consciousnesses, driven by instinct, were fighting desperately to the death!

【Year 7900, the mighty giant lion raised its head high; its green face and fangs were fearsome. It made no sound; merely sweeping its majestic gaze over the six surrounding Immortal-Demons was enough to declare ownership of this body.】

【Transform into an Immortal Lion: Green face and fangs connect to the Netherworld; Yin wind and evil rain chaos Chen Qiankun; Know the Mandate of Heaven, understand Yin and Yang; The sky-swallowing great mouth severs life and death; Wind and rain destroy the city, leaving only lost souls.】

Shen Yi closed his eyes and restrained another formidable Immortal-Demon within his body.

Feeling the domineering aura of the other looking down on all sides, he sighed slightly.

Fortunately, the lifespan of the demons and monsters in hand was still sufficient.

He might as well continue the deduction.

【Year 829, you used the intent of death to erase the Immortal Lion's consciousness, completely claiming this power as your own.】

【Remaining demon and monster lifespan: 9166 years.】

The demon cores painstakingly accumulated were instantly used up completely, and half of the demon and monster lifespan was also consumed.

In exchange came a strength within the body that seemed as boundless as a vast river and sea.

Shen Yi slightly clenched his fist; indeed, the tangible changes brought by the Body Tempering Method could give him greater security.

"I must hurry up a bit more."

He picked up the corpses of the two giant lions and cast the Carefree Wind-Riding Technique again.

The reason he rushed all the way to Tingyang Commandery was actually very simple in Shen Yi's mind: the fact that he had broken through to the Embracing Elixir Realm was, at least for now, completely unknown to the demons and monsters.

This was an extremely precious opportunity.

If the news got out, they were not fools; they would not necessarily design an ambush to kill him, but they would at least gather together to prevent someone from casually plucking their inner cores.

And the direction they would most likely seek protection in was undoubtedly that Howling Moon Demon King.

Therefore, of course, one must kill as many as possible before this group of Demon Lords reacts.

Tingyang Commandery, Yong'an City.

Inside the house behind the Zhen Mo Si office, Lin Baiwei silently rolled up her sleeves, waiting for Aunt Xiao to change her bandages.

"I really don't know what you are in such a hurry about."

Looking at the deep gash on that arm, which occupied nearly half the flesh and skin, Xiao Qiangwei sighed: "Your senior brother finally took a day of rest, yet you didn't even say you'd accompany him for a chat."

In the courtyard, You Longtao held a tea bowl, his gaze fixed on the sky.

He had not enjoyed such tranquility for many years.

Even if it was only temporary.

But once he thought of Brother Shen currently being in a demon and monster territory full of dangers, a sense of guilt inexplicably arose in his heart.

Perhaps only after Tingyang Commandery is completely stabilized will he be able to truly relax.

A moment later, he put down the tea bowl: "Aunt Xiao, I trouble you to take care of her for a while."

"Planning to leave again?"

Xiao Qiangwei looked helplessly: "I cannot control her."

"Sitting idle all the time, I always feel uneasy in my heart," You Longtao exhaled. He did not mention Shen Yi; he knew how much pressure Senior Sister Lin was under. This feeling of being completely unable to help, he had experienced countless times before.

Just then, a thick blood qi sprinkled down into the courtyard.

All three simultaneously changed color slightly.

In the next instant, two huge Green-Faced Lions fell from the sky instantly!

Yet at the very moment they were about to land, they were casually grabbed by the young man.

"..." You Longtao watched with wide eyes as Shen Yi threw the two Demon Lords at the doorway, then slightly cupped his fist towards him and stepped into the house.

"What is it? Speak."

Shen Yi sat down in front of the two women and poured himself a cup of tea on his own.

Xiao Qiangwei opened her mouth, numbly looked at the demon and monster corpses outside, then turned her gaze to the just-darkening night sky.

"I..."

Lin Baiwei lifted her head blankly, her mind a mess like a lump of paste.

So the reason the other party left without leaving a message was because there was no need.

Was he planning to return before nightfall?

Within a single day, three Embracing Elixir Realm Demon Lords died in Tingyang Commandery?!

"Brother Shen, you..."

You Longtao squatted at the courtyard entrance, confusedly pulling at the mane on the lion with his palm.

He truly could not understand.

Why did these two Demon Lords, who had faced him off for so many years, appear before him in this manner?

"What should I do now?"

You Longtao pondered for a long while, then rose and looked at the youth inside the room.

"..."

Shen Yi discovered the other party was genuinely asking a question.

A Great Demon-Suppressing General was asking him what he should do?

"Guard Tingyang Commandery?" Shen Yi was somewhat uncertain.

You Longtao lowered his hands, shifted his gaze to the demon corpses on the ground, and asked in confusion: "But, who am I guarding?"

Hearing this, a trace of confusion also flashed across Shen Yi's eyes.

What kind of mind is this?

Do you even need someone to teach you how to slack off at work?

"Hah." You Longtao also realized his loss of composure, let out a speechless laugh, and gently rubbed his brow.

The heavy burden of many years on his body had now been abruptly lifted; instead of feeling relieved, he had fallen into confusion.

It was simply too fast, not even leaving people time to react.

"You two talk first; I'll go out for a stroll."

He stepped out of the courtyard, walked along the quiet street, and then his pace grew even lighter.

"Hmm?"

Shen Yi looked at Lin Baiwei again.

"I, I..."

Lin Baiwei bit her lip hard; the other party could slay two Nascent Core Realm Demon Lords in half a day, and compared to that, she seemed to have nothing worth wasting a night of his time on.

She took out an exquisite silver bell and placed it on the table with great care.

Actually, what Lin Baiwei wanted to say was this simple: she was striving hard to catch up to the youth's footsteps, and at the same time wanted the other party to share in this joy.

Shen Yi looked at the silver bell on the table and pondered for a moment.

He took a strand of the Green-Faced Lion's essence blood from his waist and casually dropped it into the other party's bell.

Back then, the life of a single Initial Realm Fox Demon had exchanged for two Jade Liquid Realm supreme arts, accompanying him to slay the Flood-Demon Dragon, destroy the Crocodile Dragon, and used all the way to the Nascent Core Realm.

Now that he finally had some surplus strength, it was fitting to return the favor he had taken.
