The First Immortal of Destiny

A dozen days later, Shen Mo walked out from the imitation immortal mirror within the East Slope Hundred Beasts Forest base, immediately casting the Ascending Cloud Immortal Method, transforming into a streak of golden rainbow and flying towards the mountain top.

Accompanying him was Lv Xiangtai, who came seeking help from Jade Verdant Cave, and now resided within his Sword Zone space!

During these ten-plus days, Shen Mo spent Destiny Points to enhance [Danger Perception] and [Uncommon Victory] to Orange quality, with [Indestructible Body] also raised to Gold quality, each with varying degrees of effect enhancement; additionally, he concocted two furnaces of Grade six Elixir as a supplement and repaired his commonly used magic treasures!

As for the Demon Soul General sent out, it hunted a large number of scattered demons and fed them all to the selected Class IV peak Demon Soul General, with three successfully advancing to Class V.

Thus, the number of Class V Demon Soul Generals inside the Soul Refining Flag reached thirty-seven heads... allowing the God Slaying Array with thirty-six array cores to enhance the scale and power of this Creation Array substantially!

Preparations in other aspects were also made, sufficient to support Shen Mo through two or three bloody battles.

Under the continuous journey of Ascending Cloud Immortal Method and [Sword Escape], Shen Mo quickly arrived near Jade Verdant Cave!

The entrance to Jade Verdant Cave is located at the top area of East Slope Mountain, within a deep pool, which, called a pool, is actually more vast and huge than lakes in the Lower Realm.

The pool water is clear and transparent, revealing green jades of various sizes embedded all around and on the bottom, glimmering faintly; the surrounding trees are ancient and massive, rooting among the jade stones to absorb nourishment essence, possibly due to species reasons or mutations, their bark, branches, and leaves appearing as if carved from jade, extremely exquisite and dreamy!

At the pool’s depth, the light transitions from shallow to deep, like a gradient-colored beautiful jade set into the mountain body, with abundant water plants, hosting various fishes, shrimps, snakes, and turtles, some obviously belonging to the demonic beast class, possessing cultivation, but not many above Class II.

Seeing this scene, Shen Mo understood the origin of Jade Verdant Cave’s name.

However, around such a serene and beautiful pool, powerful demon breaths pervade, causing the place to be filled with overpowering Evil Qi!

Shen Mo’s five senses swept out, roughly counting, at least ten thousand demon heads above Class III, along with two comparable to Divine Bridge Realm Class V great demons, with the presence of Thousands Insects Evil Corpse Roc mixed in.

Mingpeng is a middle-stage Class VI Demon, that is, a sixth Dao Realm, Formless Realm expert, a Realm higher than Shen Mo.

When Shen Mo detected this demon’s presence, he even noticed Shen Mo’s arrival a step ahead, revealing himself above Jade Verdant Cave’s pool.

"Hisssss~~~~"

This great demon’s slender insects on his body continually wriggled like aquatic plants, raising their heads to emit hissing sounds towards Shen Mo.

Meanwhile, Mingpeng’s voice also rang in Shen Mo’s ears, indistinguishable between male or female, with a strange and sinister tone: "Did you come alone? It seems Jade Spring Fairy and Taihua Mirror have abandoned the humans inside Jade Verdant Cave."

"Noisy!"

Shen Mo snorted coldly, shaking the Soul Refining Flag to summon millions of Soul Generals from Blood River, instantly deploying the God Slaying Array.

Conversing with such demons is not only meaningless but one must always guard against soul-related spells hidden within their words, listening to one more word is one more risk!

Therefore, Shen Mo immediately deployed the Soul Generals Array, intending to fight first before talking further.

Mingpeng and Hollow Venerable are of the same clan, also mastering the God Slaying Array, and having battled Shen Mo several times over two years, undoubtedly knowing the array’s power?

When the Soul Generals Array attacked him, he removed the human-skin magic robe from his body, under nauseating chanting, the robe suddenly expanded to form a vast sky, transforming into countless slender evil insects, forming a terrifying insect prison, blocking the advance of the Soul Generals Array!

"Hisssss!"

"Sssss!"

"Buzz buzz..."

Inside the insect prison, evil insects of various attributes, just like Thousands Insects Evil Corpse, show significant differences even within the same clan.

Some insects are highly venomous, some can secrete corrosive mucus, some are indestructible, some can spit fire and smoke... but without exception, all appear extremely ugly and nauseating, crawling ceaselessly, making one’s scalp prickle with fear!

"Do!"

Shen Mo shouted lowly, shaking the Soul Refining Flag to manipulate the Soul Generals within the array to change formation.

In the next instant, the attack of the Soul Generals Array was pushed to the extreme; demon light rune patterns circulated, with thunder, vicious weapons, flames, and eerie winds, executing various slaying phenomena, pulverizing large amounts of evil insects within the insect prison into powder, slicing them into pulp, burning into black smoke, blowing into blood mist!

However, the evil insects pouring from the human-skin magic robe seemed endlessly breeding, immediately replenishing after exterminating one batch, maintaining its power without diminishing.

These evil insects are not spell illusions, but are millions of evil insects intricately cultivated into the human-skin magic robe by Mingpeng;

The human-skin magic robe acts as a nurturing vessel filled with rich nourishment, each evil insect lays countless tiny eggs, with the hatched evil insects also reproducing and laying eggs, under Mingpeng’s mana nurturing, even after many evil insects die in the insect prison, countless others hatch and instantly mature to join the battle!

Theoretically, as long as Mingpeng’s mana doesn’t deplete and the human-skin magic robe remains intact, these evil insects can continue to reproduce indefinitely, possessing endless numbers.

During the standoff between the Soul Generals Array and the human-skin magic robe, several ugly evil insects stemming from Mingpeng appeared out of nowhere beside Shen Mo, like worms burrowing holes, penetrating the thick barriers surrounding him, gnawing them into a thousand cuts, like a decayed tree!

Shen Mo had fought with Mingpeng in magic duels multiple times; with a thought, the Crystal Brahma Flame surged, protecting his body while burning the evil insects, causing them to squeal and twist, flipping over incessantly; in the next instant, the infinite Sword Light of [Uncommon Victory] Destiny emanated from every inch of his Dao Body, slicing these evil insects to death.

At the same time, the Creation Array composed of over ten thousand demons, along with the two heads of Class V great demons, attacked Shen Mo in unison.

The power of the God Slaying Array is determined by the overall strength of the creatures constructing the array; under equal circumstances, the more array cores and the stronger the demons serving as cores, the more formidable the array becomes;

Presently, with only two heads of Class V great demons, it does not meet the condition of at least nine equivalent powerful entities serving as cores, hence the demon array only has sixty-three heads of Class IV demons as cores, sufficient to annihilate ordinary middle-stage Divine Bridge Realm cultivators, but in front of Shen Mo, seems somewhat lacking.

Yet, Shen Mo dared not be careless... don’t forget, the God Slaying Array also has the Blood Sacrifice method.

If Mingpeng forcibly inflicts self-harm on the heads of Class IV demons serving as cores through Spirit Control Talismans, sacrificing them along with all tens of thousands of demons within the array, even Shen Mo would fall on the spot!

"Universal Demon Slaying!"
