Chapter 835 - 441: Bu Mie Demon God (Part 2)
Currently, the two Sword Masters are leading a group of Central State Cultivators in an assault against the South Wilderness Spirit Realm, causing the Demon Abyss Army heavy losses, with three Demon Lords consecutively injured and thus temporarily forced to retreat.
With the fierce offensive launched by Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen leading the Central State Cultivators, the Demon Abyss Army’s meticulously managed territorial defenses in the South Wilderness Spirit Realm have fallen like dominos, suffering substantial losses. However, under the leadership of the three Demon Lords, the Demon Abyss Army hasn’t suffered a fatal blow, as the South Wilderness Spirit Realm has long been occupied by Demon Abyssal Forces, deeply rooted and complex, not easily conquered in a short time.
However, as situations rapidly changed, the leading figure of the Five Major Demon Lords, the Bu Mie Demon Lord faced unprecedented setbacks during his operations in the Central State Spirit Realm. He inadvertently fell into a carefully laid trap, besieged by three Integration Sword Cultivators from the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, ultimately meeting his demise.
The Bu Mie Demon Lord’s physical body and primordial spirit were ruthlessly slain, but fortunately, being under the protection of the Bu Mie Demon God, he had previously made thorough preparations and stored a thread of Bu Mie Spiritual Consciousness within the Soul Lamp deep in the Demon Palace.
For ordinary cultivators, once the divine soul is extinguished, any residual divine sense would struggle to survive. Yet, the Bu Mie Demon Lord, favored by the Bu Mie Demon God, can use this thread of Bu Mie Spiritual Consciousness to be reborn; as long as the spiritual consciousness is unextinguished, he can reshaping his physical body, restoring his realm, albeit needing considerable time.
At this moment, atop the Demon Palace, within an altar at the center of a Blood Pool, an ink-dark black mist is slowly rising, forming the outline of a terrifying entity.
The black mist exudes a strong and suffocating aura; every wisp of mist seems like a sharp blade, emanating a horrifying pressure.
Under this formidable pressure, the surrounding Demon Cultivators are suppressed by an unseen force, falling to their knees, their bodies trembling, unable to rise, forced to bow in submission.
"Demon Abyss has expended considerable effort and resources to deliver you bunch of worthless beings to the Spirit Realm, yet now you can’t break even a simple seal; if you can’t handle this trivial matter, what is the point of keeping you!" A voice full of authority boomed from the black mist, echoing like thunder in the Demon Palace, cold and merciless, akin to a Fierce Ghost’s roar from the Nine Netherworld Hell, sending chills down the spine.
The kneeling Demon Cultivators shuddered all over; this voice belonged to the supreme Bu Mie Demon God of the Demon Abyss. After the Bu Mie Demon Lord’s fall, he enacted Great Divine Techniques to breach the seal’s gap, delivering a sliver of divine thought upon this world.
This Demon God is the ultimate existence in the Demon Abyss; his power is unfathomable, so immense as to be unimaginable. A mere thought of his is enough to easily annihilate everyone; their lives are as fragile as ants before him, easily crushed.
Under this immense and unmatched pressure, even the Demon Abyss strongmen of the Integration Stage, like the Shadow Demon Lord, the Soul-devouring Demon Lord, and the Blood Refining Demon Lord, were as terrified as quails, fearful and anxious, lest an inadvertent mistake should provoke this Demon God and result in their immediate destruction.
"Hmph!"
The Demon God let out an angry grunt, revealing deep dissatisfaction, yet understanding that to break the seal between the Demon Abyss and the Spirit Realm, reliance on these folks was necessary, therefore he didn’t immediately take action to slaughter them.
Suddenly, a substantial strand of aura dispersed from the black mist, heading straight into the chamber housing the Soul Lamps, targeting the Bu Mie Demon Lord’s Soul Lamp.
Blood Demon Lord - Dana’s Soul Lamp had already extinguished completely, even the Bu Mie Demon God’s visit couldn’t retrieve his life, whereas the Bu Mie Demon Lord’s Soul Lamp wavered between bright and dim, seeming to flicker at any moment.
Amidst this faint lamp light, a weak divine sense stubbornly safeguarded it, preventing its total extinction.
As a dense immortal demonic qi perfectly merged with the Bu Mie Demon Lord’s divine sense, his elusive primordial spirit state gradually manifested, yet at the moment, he couldn’t form a complete physical body, only appearing in this spirit body form.
The Bu Mie Demon Lord’s divine soul respectfully knelt down, reporting to the Bu Mie Demon God: "Great Demon God, during my recent covert operation in the Central State Spirit Realm, I discovered another sealed land and more significantly, identified the greatest obstacle against breaking the seal, intending to eliminate the greatest threat to the Demon Abyss. Unexpectedly, that person was exceptionally cunning, setting numerous traps in advance; due to a momentary lapse, I suffered the doomed fate."
"Oh? The greatest enemy to Demon Abyss?" The Bu Mie Demon God’s voice carried a hint of gravitas, evidently placing significant importance on what the Bu Mie Demon Lord reported.
"Indeed, Great Demon God. This individual not only possesses deep power but has exceptional intellect, repeatedly thwarting our Demon Abyss plans. Allowing them to continue growing unchecked might render them a major scourge to the Demon Abyss." The Bu Mie Demon Lord truthfully reported, a tone of concern pervasive in his voice.
The Bu Mie Demon God was silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "Could it be a Mahayana Stage Daoist Monarch from the Spirit Realm directly involved? Noticed the seal matter between Demon Abyss and the Spirit Realm? If indeed such a force acted, temporary hibernation is wise to avoid direct confrontation."
The Bu Mie Demon Lord, however, showed an embarrassed expression, hurriedly replying: "Great Demon God, the individual is not a Mahayana Stage powerhouse, his cultivation is merely... merely a Divinity Transformation Cultivator."
The black mist visibly trembled for a moment, evidently astonished that it turned out to be just a Divinity Transformation Cultivator. When did Divinity Transformation Cultivators become the greatest threats against the seal-breaking plan, prompting the Demon God to reassess the Bu Mie Demon Lord’s capabilities?
The Bu Mie Demon Lord immediately sensed something amiss, hastily explaining: "Great Demon God, although the person is only in the Divinity Transformation Realm, he excels in Artifact Refining Skills, crafting several Tier Seven Dao Sword in just a decade. Blood Demon Lord - Dana could originally hold his own against the two Integration Realm Sword Masters of Profound Celestial Sword Sect, it was due to that individual refining Tier Seven Dao Sword for the two Sword Cultivators that led to Blood Demon Lord - Dana’s eventual demise."
"My dispatch this time was precisely to covertly eliminate this person, only to find that he refined no fewer than three Tier Seven Dao Swords for the Profound Celestial Sword Sect within a mere span of years, drastically boosting their overall strength."
"Originally, my physical body was robust, possessing Immortal Demon Qi Armor, on equal footing with Integration Stage foes against three Integration Sword Cultivators, unperturbed, however, bolstered by Tier Seven Dao Sword allowed even a single Integration Sword Cultivator to pose a significant challenge."
"The reason for my failure this time was clashing with three Integration Sword Cultivators wielding Tier Seven Dao Sword, even with deploying every technique, I was helpless, ultimately forced to perform the Forbidden Technique - Demon Arrival, soliciting a portion of your power, but was shattered by Profound Celestial Sword Sect’s Sect’s Divine Sword. If not for leaving a Bu Mie Spiritual Consciousness here prior to departing for Central State, I would have fallen like Dana!" Fearful of the Bu Mie Demon God misconstruing his incompetence, the Bu Mie Demon Lord elaborated thoroughly, explaining Li Mu’s capabilities.
"A Divinity Transformation Cultivator capable of refining Tier Seven Dao Sword!"
Hearing the Bu Mie Demon Lord’s defense, the dark mist formed by the Bu Mie Demon God fell into silence,
After a long pause, it slowly spoke: "If that’s indeed the situation, then this person is truly the greatest enemy of the Demon Abyss, as long as this person continues refining Dao Swords, even if eventually Demon Abyss and the Spirit Realm’s seal is broken, and the army invades this realm, they would suffer from his creations."
"Indeed, Great Demon God, this person must not be allowed to grow!"
The Bu Mie Demon Lord timely added: "Great Demon God, the most pressing task is finding a way to eliminate this person, though he is merely a Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator, his existence causes the overall strength of Profound Celestial Sword Sect to constantly increase, certainly impacting the future battles greatly."
The black mist slowly withdrew, retreating back into the altar’s black fog. After a long while, a voice emerged.
"I’m giving you some more time, find a way to eliminate this threat. Once he is removed, swiftly seize the sealed lands and break the inter-realm seal promptly!"
