Chapter 346 - 91: Heaven-Defying Treasure Technique
’I was lost in the Saintess’s beautiful young body, unable to pull myself away. I paid little attention to the situation in the Demon Realm, only knowing that the previous Immortal Official had fallen at the hands of that newly risen Demon Emperor.’
’On my two-hundredth birthday, my Cultivation finally broke through to the Late-Life Soul Stage, and I became a First-Grade Immortal Official of the Immortal Court.’
’By this time, the Demon Court’s power in the Demon Realm was firmly established. That Demon Emperor’s Cultivation advanced further, and he became a Demon Saint—an existence comparable to a Tribulation Realm Great Power of the Human Race.’
’When I was two hundred and thirty, the Demon Realm began its counterattack on the Four Seas Cultivation World. The South Sea and East Sea bore the brunt of it. Major Immortal Cities fell one after another; they were either massacred by the Demon Race, or the city’s Cultivators turned on and killed their Immortal Official to surrender to the demons.’
’Rumor had it that the Demon Saint possessed a Talisman Decree capable of nullifying the Divine Soul Prohibition on Human Race Cultivators. By surrendering to the Demon Court, one could obtain this decree. Many Cultivators were stirred by this, and those Human Race Cultivators who surrendered even joined the Demon Court in its counterattack against the Immortal Court.’
’Another thirty years passed. The Demon Court’s grand army invaded the North Sea, and the frontline Immortal Cities fell one after another. When their army reached Taiyi Immortal City, I arrived to confront the Demon Race, bringing with me over a hundred Tier Three Celestial Demons. I personally took action, slaying thirteen Demon Kings and two Demon Emperors, my name shaking both the Human and Demon Realms.’
’In this battle, I unleashed a Slaughter Treasure Technique taught by the Immortal Court. With my Life Soul Cultivation, I defied the odds and slew two Tier Four Demon Emperors. The results of the battle were truly unprecedented. The Demon Race’s army was temporarily halted outside Taiyi Immortal City, unable to advance.’
’The Demon Saint was enraged and dispatched the ten great Demon Emperors under his command to attack Taiyi Immortal City. Knowing I was no match for them, I calmly retreated to Langya Immortal City.’
’The Langya Immortal Sect was one of the two great Immortal Dao Giants of the North Sea. At the time, a Dharma Realm Great Power presided over it. Although subject to the Immortal Court, the sect held a transcendent status and was a true Sacred Land for Human Race Cultivators.’
’On the day the Demon Race’s army reached Langya Immortal City, the Immortal Emperor descended from the heavens to personally oversee the battle. A great war erupted between the two races, and countless Cultivators fell. In the end, the Demon Saint himself took action, battling the Immortal Emperor.’
’The Immortal Emperor was a Jade Terracotta Warrior that seemed to condense a thousand splendors into one form. Every move it made held the power to shatter the heavens and sunder the earth. Its Magical Power and Divine Techniques were so profound they were far beyond my reach.’
’I heard from a Dharma Cultivator of the Langya Immortal Sect that all the thousands of Immortal Terracotta Warriors in the world were merely avatars of this one Immortal Emperor Jade Terracotta Warrior before me! The current battle between the Immortal Emperor and the Demon Saint seemed to involve the schemes and conflicts of Great Powers from the Upper Realm. We were nothing more than pawns in their game.’
’Upon hearing this, I was utterly horrified. I immediately had a realization: could the Slaughter Treasure Technique taught by the Immortal Court also have come from the Upper Realm?’
’The great battle between the Immortal Emperor and the Demon Saint ended with the Immortal Emperor’s defeat and the Demon Saint’s pyrrhic victory. The Demon Race’s army then steamrolled Langya Immortal City. The Langya Immortal Sect led the other Human Race Cultivators in pledging allegiance to the Demon Court.’
’The Demon Court accepted their surrender but was unwilling to spare the many Immortal Officials. They wanted to execute us as a sacrifice to the heavens. I fought my way out of the encirclement alone, defying the odds to slay several Demon Emperors, but suffered grievous injuries in the process.’
’The Demon Race, after being enlightened by the Demon Saint, possessed Divine Techniques and Magical Artifacts that could rival, or even surpass, those of Human Race Cultivators. The only reason I was able to fight my way out was because my Immortal Binding Rope and my own Divine Techniques were powerful enough.’
’Hunted by the entire world, I had no choice but to flee into the forbidden land, Celestial Demon Island. It was rumored that at the center of this island dwelled a Tier Five Outer Celestial Demon... I had originally thought the Demon Court would retreat, but unexpectedly, the ten great Demon Emperors and numerous Human Race Dharma Masters all came to Celestial Demon Island to besiege and kill me.’
’I swallowed a White Tiger Divine Pill to attempt a breakthrough to the Dharma Realm, but I failed once again. Only then did I realize this was a limitation imposed by fate, and there was nothing I could do.’
’On Celestial Demon Island, I fought against the various masters. I maneuvered skillfully, pitting my enemies against each other and using the many High-Tier Celestial Demons on the island to their utmost potential, shocking the world.’
’In a great rage, the Demon Saint had several Demon Emperors bring the Tier Five Demon Soldier weapon, the Immortal Slaying Spear, to kill me. With no other choice, I set up the Heavenly Demon Descent Array, using the Celestial Demons of Celestial Demon Island as bait to tear open the Heaven-Defining Membrane and lure Outer Celestial Demons into the Lower Realm, unleashing a demonic corruption across the four seas.’
’The Demon Realm may not be spared either.’
...
In the Quiet Chamber, Fang Cheng read through the Dream Spirit Incarnation’s life story one more time, his emotions surging like a turbulent tide.
’The Treasure Technique this Dream Spirit cultivated might really be from the Upper Realm!’
Unfortunately, all the Dream Spirit’s experiences were like an illusory dream—hazy, indistinct, and difficult to grasp, seeming both real and unreal.
’For now, there was no way to obtain that Heaven-Defying Treasure Technique, the one that could amplify the power of a Divine Technique’s attack a hundredfold.’
’However, this Dream Spirit could be used to deliver a single strike at the level of a Dharma Aspect. At a critical moment, it could produce a miraculous effect.’
’Encountering a similar Dream Spirit again probably won’t be so easy.’
Fang Cheng took a deep breath and put away the Snow Silkworm Paper. Just as he was about to enter a meditative state to regulate his energy, a familiar, abyss-like aura emanated from outside Canglan Cave.
His expression flickered, showing a trace of surprise.
’Sun Fuguo actually came in person.’
