Chapter 154: [Shoulder Everything, I Want You to Die] (First update, begging for votes)

"What? His injuries will recover quickly?"

Yangming Immortal really couldn't sit still this time.

He originally thought about how to deal with the Daze Demon Immortal, but he didn't have much certainty to begin with. If the Daze Demon Immortal's strength recovered to its peak, it would be even more impossible for him to have the strength to kill the other party.

"What to do? By the way, you came to find me, you must have a solution, right?"

Yangming Immortal asked upon hearing this.

Lu Runping shook his head and said:

"I am just a cultivator at the Dao Harmonizing Realm. I couldn't stop Kongming Ancestor back then, and now I can't stand idly by regarding the Daze Demon Immortal.

This is a spirit fruit I calculated with all my heart and blood. After eating it, you can obtain the divine ability 【Divide River into Land】 that restrains the Daze Demon Immortal. I can only do this much, I hope you don't let my heart and blood be wasted."

At this time, Yangming Immortal finally noticed that the white hair on Lu Runping's head was not left deliberately using spells, but a manifestation of blood energy decay. He himself, just like a withered tree.

"Fellow Daoist, you are?"

Yangming Immortal couldn't help but ask.

Lu Runping waved his hand and said:

"Don't care about me. After one Xuanjizi dies, there will be the next Xuanjizi. This is the Dao that our sect pursues, so you don't have to have

"Remember, act quickly; for every day of delay, the Great Swamp Demon Immortal will become even more powerful. The Lianze Domain cannot withstand another destruction."

After saying this, Lu Runping turned around and walked outward step by step. With every step he took, his body seemed to shrink a fraction; that figure was like a reclusive master who bore everything and silently sacrificed himself for the sake of all living beings.

Yangming Xianren spoke up:

"Fellow Daoist, please take this. If Xuanjizi ever comes knocking in the future, the Qingyang Immortal Sect will spare no effort to help!"

Lu Runping received a black chess piece, which contained a trace of Yangming Xianren's aura and a wisp of Qingyang Demon Fire; it was highly recognizable.

"Hmm, the matter of the spirit fruit must not be known to others."

After Lu Runping left, he had his main body check it with the 【Golden Pupil of Truth-Breaking】 to confirm there were no issues with the chess piece, then put it away.

This matter was recorded in the Treasure Mirror; it would be good to have in case he needed to use the identity of Xuanjizi in the future.

After Lu Runping left, Yangming Xianren immediately picked up the fruit and swallowed it to refine it.

He had no other choice now; once he knew that the Great Swamp Demon Immortal had obtained a supernatural power capable of rapidly restoring his strength, he had only one option.

That was to trust Lu Runping, eat the fruit, and obtain the supernatural power.

Otherwise, given the Great Swamp Demon Immortal's abilities, even if he could summon help, without a restraining supernatural power, it would be impossible to kill the opponent.

Upon eating the spirit fruit, the supernatural power immediately manifested.

After becoming an immortal, one can initially perceive the true wonder of supernatural powers and grasp a portion of their true might.

【Turning Rivers into Land】 is a great supernatural power that directly alters the origin of matter to form a new material state; if one could truly explore its roots, one would be touching the foundation of the Great Dao of Creation.

But that was clearly not something the current Yangming Xianren needed to consider.

He only needed to know that this supernatural power could restrain the Great Swamp Demon Immortal, and as long as he ensured his combat power, the Great Swamp Demon Immortal would surely die by his hand!

Although the Great Swamp Demon Immortal's injuries had not completely healed and had persisted since the great battle years ago, his combat power was definitely not something he could handle alone, so he needed to request reinforcements.

After much thought, he found Yuding Xianren.

For one, the Yuding Immortal Sect was not far from the Ancient Great Swamp; if the Great Swamp Demon Immortal caused disaster, the Yuding Immortal Sect would not be spared, so Yuding Xianren had the necessary conditions to intervene.

Secondly, it was naturally because Yuding Xianren's strength was formidable; do not be misled by the fact that he was also handled by Kongming Laozu that day—at that time, Kongming Laozu had already achieved the True Immortal Realm, and almost no one in the lower realm was his match.

Compared to other Land Immortals, Yuding Xianren's strength was definitely not weak.

Defeating the Great Swamp Demon Immortal should not be a problem.

Moreover, with his own assistance to suppress the formation, he had a ninety percent certainty of success in this matter.

After meeting Yuding Xianren, Yangming Xianren explained the urgency of the matter.

"A Daoist named Xuanjizi visited my sect and informed me that the Great Swamp Demon Immortal has obtained a supernatural power capable of rapidly recovering from injuries. Now, for every day that passes, his strength grows by a fraction, and if we do not step in to stop him, in half a year, he will return to his peak state and wreak havoc on the human world.

I previously obtained a secret technique that can restrain the Great Swamp Demon Immortal, preventing him from escaping into the depths of the swamp, but my personal combat power, even if I exhaust everything, is insufficient to defeat this demon. Therefore, I hope you can step in to help."

Upon hearing this, Yuding Xianren did not press for details; it was better to believe it than not, as the stakes were high. If they truly ignored it and waited for the Great Swamp Demon Immortal to rise, it would be a disaster for the territory under the Yuding Immortal Sect's governance.

The Jiuding Domain, where the Yuding Immortal Sect is located, is adjacent to the Lianze Domain; if there were any changes, they would inevitably be drawn in.

Therefore, the matter was urgent and needed to be treated seriously.

The two made some preparations, and Yuding Immortal felt that it was still not safe for just the two of them to act, so he called upon Mingtuo Immortal of the Wanhua Dao Sect to join them.

They did not call Yun Tuan Xianren of the Tianyu Immortal Sect because they knew he was severely injured and not fit to participate in this matter.

The immortal sect regions where the three of them were located were all adjacent to the Lianze Domain and needed to eliminate the hidden threat of the Great Swamp Demon Immortal.

The immortal sects were not out to exterminate all demon immortals; rather, they were extremely wary of those who wreaked havoc and had a criminal record. If a demon clan behaved properly, even if they ate some humans in the mountains, it was nothing.

Demons eat humans, and humans eat demons; this is the cycle of natural law. But killing people on human territory is a provocation.

The Great Swamp Demon Immortal had been in a very good mood these past few days; his short-lived brother-in-law had brought him a great supernatural power, allowing his injuries, which had not healed for years, to gradually alleviate, and he would soon be able to recover his health.

Once his strength returned to its peak, he would storm the Qingyang Immortal Sect to avenge the grudge of that year.

The true Kongming Ancestor, in order to pass the third heavenly tribulation back then, adopted a special method to transform himself, but as a result, his self-consciousness was wiped out, and a new consciousness was born, becoming the current Kongming Ancestor.

Although he was arrogant, he had never left the Ancient Great Swamp too far; as long as he escaped into the swamp during battle, no one could do anything to him.

Relying on his innate abilities, he could receive a boost in combat power within the swamp, while other immortals would have their strength significantly reduced if they truly ventured deep into the swamp.

This was his home turf.

Precisely because of this, when he sensed the aura of human immortals descending that day, he thought he had sensed it wrong.

"Great Swamp Demon Immortal, today is your death day! Come out and meet your end!"

Being provoked like this on his own turf was something no demon clan could tolerate.

Furthermore, the Great Swamp Demon Immortal's many demon concubines were watching expectantly; how could he back down? If he admitted defeat, how could he happily mate with his demon concubines in the future!?

On the muddy water surface of the central lake of the Ancient Great Swamp, a vortex suddenly appeared, and then a massive python head rose from below.

On that snake head, a single eye was as large as a house, and the entire head looked like a mountain.

"So it's the contemporary Land Immortal of the Qingyang Immortal Sect. You are so weak; are you here to throw your life away?"

The snake head flicked its tongue, releasing a chilling pressure, and its sinister voice caused ripples across the surrounding lake surface.

Although he said this, the Great Swamp Demon Immortal had already judged that he was no match for the three of them combined. But this was his home turf; even if he wasn't their match, he could severely injure them and then calmly escape into the swamp.

In this way, he wouldn't be fleeing out of fear, but making a strategic retreat, and his reputation would not be damaged.

As a demon, one values one's reputation highly.

Yangming Xianren did not answer him at all, but according to the plan the three had discussed, he acted directly, and he started with the great supernatural power 【Turning Rivers into Land】.

For a moment, an arcane fluctuation of supernatural power formed around the Great Swamp Demon Immortal. He instinctively wanted to churn the swamp, but he was immediately dumbfounded.

Because, in this area, the swamp within a radius of three hundred miles had instantly turned into hard, solid rock land!

The Great Swamp Demon Immortal's massive body, except for the head exposed outside and the surrounding body, was entirely sealed within this massive rock formation spanning three hundred miles.

The moisture was gone, and the rock formed against his skin with a high degree of fit; his body underneath could not exert force, and he would absolutely be unable to break free in a short time.

In his desperation, the Great Swamp Demon Immortal exclaimed in shock and anger:

"You, what kind of sorcery is this!?"

Seeing that this supernatural power had such formidable might, Yangming Xianren himself was also shocked, but he reacted quickly and immediately launched supplementary attacks.

As for Yuding Immortal and Mingtuo Immortal, the moment the rock formed, they had long since released their respective attack methods according to the agreed-upon plan.

Yuding Xianren sacrificed a precious cauldron, which transformed into the size of a mountain; this was the Yuding Immortal Sect's inherited spirit treasure, the 'Mountain and River Jade Cauldron'. With one smash, the Great Swamp Demon Immortal, who could not dodge, was struck on the head.

Immediately, flesh and blood were mangled, skin was torn, and scales flew everywhere.

Mingtuo Immortal flicked his whisk, releasing a black storm. The storm swept over the Great Swamp Demon Immortal's exposed head, immediately tearing away a large amount of flesh and blood, even revealing the bone of the Great Swamp Demon Immortal's head.

And at this moment, Yangming Xianren's Qingyang Demon Fire appeared and landed on the Great Swamp Demon Immortal's head.

The Great Swamp Demon Immortal wailed in pain, but despite exhausting all his strength, he was still unable to break free from the rock, and he couldn't even transform into human form.

This rock seemed ordinary, but in reality, the rock within a twenty-kilometer radius formed a single entity, squeezing inward together. As the Great Swamp Demon Immortal shrank his body, the rock pressed in accordingly; this was the power of a great supernatural power.

In utter desperation, he roared in fury and activated a life-saving skill that most snake demons mastered: molting.

Suddenly, his massive body stopped writhing, and a mud-swamp python more than half the size of the original flew out from the remains. This life-saving molt weakened his strength by half, but at least his life was saved.

If he hadn't cut off his tail to save himself in time, his head would have been completely smashed into a bloody pulp—what a humiliating way to die!

The Great Swamp Demon Immortal, flying into mid-air, glared viciously at the source of everything, Yangming Xianren, and roared:

"I want you dead!!"
