The First Immortal of Destiny

The characteristics of a magic treasure vary depending on the forging materials, overall structure, internal engraved runes, and the nurturing method by the owner!

For those of excellent quality, a strand of true intention will evolve above these characteristics.

As the grade keeps increasing, this strand of true intention becomes increasingly profound and exquisite until it transforms into something akin to a "Great Path rule," displaying an incredibly miraculous and formidable special effect when used!

Such as the Demon Slaying Sword in Shen Mo’s hand, possessing sharp characteristics, has likewise evolved relevant true intention. Once its level continues to ascend and transform, any technique in front of it will be fragile as thin paper;

For example, the Green Cloud Umbrella, evolving the "Cycle of Life and Death," absorbing part of any offensive falling onto the umbrella to turn into its own defense;

And there’s the wear from the Nine-Extreme Crystal Sand Energy, the Imprisonment from Immortal Binding Rope, the formation from Big Dipper Sword, etc.

However, although these magic artifacts exhibit extraordinary characteristics, they have not yet ascended to the level of "Great Path rules," making them easily dismantled and neutralized by various techniques.

The closest to this level should be the Demon-Suppressing Tower, capable even of imprisoning Evil Spirits, yet it is not purely a magic artifact, but rather a place integrated with formations, prohibitions, spatial spells, architecture, forging, and demon-suppressing methods!

It’s the Five Dragon Divine Chariot of Fulong Immortal Master that seems to possess such divinity, capable of shattering all things within the world upon collision.

However, this treasure hadn’t demonstrated its powers before it dispersed its immortal charm, and Shen Mo missed the chance to witness its divinity!

Holding the bronze halberd of Longevity Demon Lord in his hand, it is a genuine immortal level magical instrument, currently revealing two formidable characteristics akin to "Great Path rules..."

Firstly, those struck by this treasure find recovery very difficult.

Previously, the Ghost-faced Great Monster was severed in two by the bronze halberd, even though no foreign forces lingered at the wound.

Yet, with his powerful recuperation ability not losing to Shen Mo, employing all methods, he still could not heal the two halves of his body together!

Secondly, this treasure ignores the number of people and can simultaneously attack multiple targets.

Shen Mo, carrying the [Chanjue] Destiny, is very aware that none of their five senses were deceived nor did any illusion occur—the bronze halberd indeed simultaneously slashed towards five of them.

"Once struck by the treasure, even if it merely scratches the skin, magic and elixirs cannot heal the wound."

"If the Dao Body suffers any damage, the essence, qi, and spirit will no longer be perfect, making it extremely difficult to advance to the Formless Realm before finding a method to heal the injuries!"

"Should one be severed into two parts like the ghost-faced demon, even if one does not die, the Dao Path is cut off. Let alone achieving Formless, even maintaining the existing cultivation level becomes difficult. Moreover, even if I spare no effort to use the [Rebirth from the Residual Body] skill, I cannot reshape a complete Dao Body..."

Shen Mo’s thoughts flickered like sparks, immediately employing all methods to resist the bronze halberd!

The Wall Palm of The Seven Constellations of the Northern Black Tortoise;

The defensive magic artifact Green Cloud Umbrella;

The skill [Crystal Brahma Flame];

Protective spirit energy conjured by boundless mana;

Nine-Extreme Crystal Sand Energy;

...

Special Destiny [Indestructible Body].

In addition to various defensive methods, Shen Mo also raised the Taiyi Sword, utilizing Universe Sword Style to counter the slash from the bronze halberd!

"Boom!"

"Boom..."

"Clang!"

Each solid defensive barrier continuously shattered and exploded;

But after layer upon layer of erosion, the terrifying power contained in the bronze halberd was worn down to a great extent, ultimately blocked by Shen Mo’s Taiyi Sword before it struck his Dao Body.

At the same time.

Kang Haoxiu also exhausted his methods, relying on magic artifacts, magic, and talismans to resist, but ultimately couldn’t match Shen Mo’s exceptional tactics, struggling to resist the lethal powers of the bronze halberd.

In an instant, layers of spells were extinguished and pieces of magic artifacts exploded;

Amidst the sky full of fragmented light specks and crimson blood mist, his body was sliced into upper and lower halves, even failing to let his soul escape, ending up with a complete eradication of body and soul!

Lady Scarlet brought forth a gold-engraved bracelet, the emitted rays wrapping her into a five-colored amber, yet under the furious might of the bronze halberd, it was fragile like an eggshell... didn’t last half a breath before the five-colored amber shattered, the bracelet artifact cracked, her whole self was chopped and flung away.

Class V Puppet Yama was likewise slashed to pieces, while the spatial treasure housing Qin Zhen was split, accompanied by a swirl of puppet fragments, her petite and delicate body fell out from the independent small space, lying on the ground, coughing blood continuously!

Aside from Kang Haoxiu who seemed unlucky and did not draw the attention of Longevity Demon Lord, evidently, he intended to refine Longevity flesh from Shen Mo and the other four, thus did not deliver fatal blows to Lady Scarlet and Qin Zhen.

Furthermore, once the Dao body becomes damaged and irreparable with the essence, qi, and spirit no longer perfect, the quality of the longevity flesh refined from them would fall by several levels. Therefore, even the bronze halberd’s first rule characteristic wasn’t used by the Longevity Demon Lord!

Although Lady Scarlet and Qin Zhen’s injuries are severe, as long as they promptly consume healing pills, they can quickly recover.

What surprised Shen Mo was the situation with the Silver-haired Child over there.

He saw the person’s aura completely transformed, exuding an eerie demonic aura, profound and unfathomable, relying on the power of Ocher Demon-dispelling Bell, also blocked the slash from the bronze halberd; even having remaining strength, continuously ringing the Demon-dispelling Bell, sending out waves of invisible ripples filled with annihilation energy, sweeping towards Longevity Demon Lord!

"Is this... the Accompanying Demon Soul has taken control of Fulong’s body and soul?"

A trace of astonishment appeared in Shen Mo’s eyes as he thought to himself.

Back then, after Silver-haired Child visited and left, Shen Mo deliberately used "Insight into All Beings" to probe into his details and weaknesses, and at that time, he knew about the peculiar aspect of the Silver-haired Child!

Normally, a cultivator houses three souls and seven spirits, while the Silver-haired Child possesses an extra Heavenly Demon Soul... possibly the remnant soul of a Class VI Heavenly Demon, possibly even a Class VII True Immortal level Heavenly Demon remnant soul, extremely powerful and deeply hidden in its aura!

If not for Shen Mo obtaining information from the Destiny Panel about the Silver-haired Child’s weakness being this Heavenly Demon Soul, he would never have detected anything unusual.

Moreover, this Accompanying Demon Soul has long been inseparable from the Silver-haired Child;

It’s highly likely that it was latent within Fulong Immortal Master during his period, died along with him, reincarnated together, and cultivated anew, having no direct relation with the True Immortal cave mansion!

It’s speculated that even the Accompanying Demon Soul didn’t expect Fulong Immortal Master would fall in the bitter sea.

Later when Fulong Immortal Master reincarnated and successfully tread on the immortal path, awakening the Wisdom of previous lives, it’s largely attributed to the Accompanying Demon Soul’s merit.

The weakness fed back by Destiny was the means to eliminate the Heavenly Demon entirely, causing the Silver-haired Child to have his soul dissipate along with it... the two are in a symbiotic relationship where one prospers, the other suffers, this both Fulong Immortal Master in his past life and the present Silver-haired Child surely knows of this!

Thus, after Shen Mo detected the peculiarity of the Silver-haired Child, he hadn’t exposed it, but continuously feigned ignorance.

Until now, facing a life and death crisis, the Accompanying Demon Soul began to dominate his spirit soul will, making him appear as if becoming another person.
