Chapter 82: 【This is Reasonable, Coveting the Body】 (Fifth update, seeking subscriptions)

The effect of the supernatural Dao Fruit was very strong; with one release, more than half of the injuries they had sustained in this battle were healed. In the subsequent battles, having this supernatural power undoubtedly increased their chances of survival.

Such a treasure, they were not even willing to take it out to share with other Demon Kings.

But they also understood that the Phantom Butterfly Demon King took this thing out precisely to obtain enough treasures. If the two of them held onto the spirit fruits and didn't exchange them, other Demon Kings would likely strike to snatch them if they knew they had them.

If that were the result, it would be better to go exchange for treasures together.

After the three demons consulted, they first found a Demon King to exchange with, a great demon at the sixth layer of the Golden Core realm.

Among the three of them, the most powerful was the Phantom Butterfly Demon King, but she was only at the third layer of the Golden Core realm.

The demon race was not a truly unified race to begin with; they preyed on each other, and the strong were respected.

So they couldn't directly negotiate terms with great demons in the late Golden Core realm; they needed a mid-stage Golden Core Demon King as a stepping stone.

The negotiation process was not smooth.

But precisely because of this, the Demon King did not doubt the effect of the spirit fruit and refined it on the spot.

Afterward, he demanded to buy another one for himself, to give to his demon consort.

His demon consort was also a Golden Core realm demon; as long as it was Golden Core realm, Lu Chengtong felt it wasn't a loss.

However, he still negotiated the price with that Demon King and obtained quite a few benefits.

Since you want to bring your demon consort to become my Dao Fruit together, then I shall fulfill your wish!

With this mid-stage Golden Core Demon King, selling the Dao Fruits later went even more smoothly. Before long, only one of the nine Dao Fruits remained unsold.

A Nascent Soul great demon, the 'Blood Toad Demon King', took the initiative to deliver himself to the door.

Lu Chengtong hurriedly pretended to be terrified and respectful, presented the spirit fruit, and said:

"That the Great King can like this spirit fruit is my good fortune. This spirit fruit is a gift for the Great King!"

The Blood Toad Demon King felt very satisfied with his attitude.

It was said that the Phantom Butterfly Demon King had served the Flood Dragon Demon King; with this layer of relationship, even if these demons' brains weren't very good, they wouldn't take the initiative to provoke her.

He had truly felt the effect after a subordinate Demon King released that supernatural power on him, and he felt it was very powerful.

Thinking of the dangers of this war, he had come to search for it in order to increase his chances of survival.

He hadn't expected this Phantom Butterfly Demon King to be so sensible, which made him feel a bit embarrassed to forcibly demand it.

He casually took out a storage bag of a killed Golden Core cultivator and threw it to him, which served as the cost for the exchange.

With the item in hand, he probed it slightly, found no problems, and directly swallowed and refined it. The supernatural power was successfully obtained, and feeling the power of its effect, he said to Lu Chengtong:

"In the subsequent war, you may stay behind me. Below the Nascent Soul realm, I guarantee you will not die."

From this perspective, the demon race was still relatively principled; if it were human cultivators, they wouldn't easily give such a promise.

Lu Chengtong immediately expressed an appearance of being overjoyed and thanked him profusely.

He was truly looking forward to it; if he could obtain a Nascent Soul realm Dao Fruit, even if his current body strength couldn't allow him to absorb it, he could let the Treasure Mirror absorb it.

This way, he could use the Treasure Mirror to release the 【Lost Soul Seizure】 supernatural power again; Golden Core cultivators would be controlled one by one!

And by controlling Golden Core cultivators, obtaining Golden Core realm Dao Fruits would naturally be simple.

He could even let them curse and kill Nascent Soul cultivators, giving himself a layer of security.

Furthermore, with the soul power of the late Golden Core realm, launching the 【Hidden Abyss Earth Escape】 supernatural power, Lu Chengtong was confident that even Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't catch him.

If he used Nascent Soul realm soul power to release it, even against old monsters in the Spirit Transformation realm, he would have the ability to escape.

The revitalization of the family lies in me!

Lu Chengtong and the Blood Toad Demon King looked at each other and smiled; everything was understood without words!

You covet my spirit fruit, and I plot against your Nascent Soul; this is very reasonable.

Three days later, the decisive battle between Shengling Mountain and the Longze Lake demons began.

Lu Chengtong had actually been thinking about why the Longze Lake demons suddenly launched such a war against Shengling Mountain that was destined to fail.

Yes, destined to fail.

Although the combat power of Shengling Mountain was similar to that of the Longze Lake demons, Shengling Mountain was, after all, one of the three lineages of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, and the current Sect Master of the Heavenly Spirit Sect was a Spirit Transformation True Monarch of the Holy Spirit Lineage.

He certainly couldn't sit idly by.

Letting the Holy Spirit Lineage fight alone in the early stages was to monopolize the benefits as much as possible, but relying solely on the Holy Spirit Lineage, even if they achieved victory, it would be a pyrrhic victory.

Therefore, in the middle of the great decisive battle, cultivators from the other two lineages would inevitably participate.

By then, with the three lineages attacking together, given the foundation of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, the Longze Lake demons would inevitably be annihilated; at most, only the Spirit Transformation Flood Dragon Demon King and a few powerful Demon Kings might escape.

The demon side couldn't possibly have failed to foresee such a result.

But they still did it.

Clearly, they had a plot; it was just unknown what exactly was worth them doing this.

As for the reasons the demons gave on the surface for starting the great war—the so-called Shengling Mountain harming many Longze Lake demons, being deeply sinful, wanting to seek justice for the demons, and wanting to fight for a breath of air—Lu Chengtong didn't believe a single word.

Regardless, he had already obtained great benefits from this war, and could even gain more.

How much he could harvest in the end depended on his subsequent efforts.

After the great decisive battle began, it was truly tragic; Lu Chengtong's clone wandered around in it and was nearly killed twice.

But fortunately, on the surface, he was a female demon in the early Golden Core realm, while in reality, his body contained four late Golden Core Holy Spirits, with vast spiritual power, so casting spells was five against one.

The enemy thought he was only releasing a spell of the early Golden Core realm, but as a result, four attacks of the late Golden Core realm followed; even if they were just ordinary attacks, they could directly stun the opponent.

And with Lu Chengtong's many years of combat experience, taking advantage of the enemy's slow reaction, he would directly launch a combo, forcing them to passively defend, and finally be killed by the fierce firepower.

In the Golden Core realm, he had no opponents.

The two times he was injured were because he was caught in the aftermath of the attack spells of Nascent Soul cultivators.

When the cultivation realm differs by a major level, even the edge of the aftermath is enough for a lower-level cultivator to suffer.

Finally, for the sake of safety, he pretended to be an injured cultivator and returned to the rear of the Heavenly Spirit Sect to recuperate.

The Longze Lake demons had no so-called 'rear'; they poured out in full force, with a momentum that as long as they didn't die, the killing wouldn't stop.

And here at Shengling Mountain, reinforcements arrived, and after the cultivators of the other two lineages joined, a defensive line was naturally formed, and those who were injured could go to the back to recuperate.

Lu Chengtong didn't go too far, because the three Spirit Transformation True Monarchs of the Heavenly Spirit Sect had all appeared, confronting the Flood Dragon Demon King of Longze Lake in mid-air; it looked like the final battle was about to arrive.

Of course, he was mainly paying attention to the Blood Toad Demon King who was fighting one against two; in his view, this fellow's Nascent Soul was already in his pocket, and if he could obtain some essence blood to refine his body, that would be even better.

Lu Chengtong had to admit that he not only coveted the other's Nascent Soul, but also coveted the other's body.

Starting tomorrow, three updates a day, at 12:00 noon and 6:00 PM; the third update depends on the situation. ===== CHAPTER 83 =====
