The First Immortal of Destiny

"Clang!"

"Clang clang!"

The Ocher Demon-dispelling Bell, driven by the Accompanying Demon Soul, unleashed unmatched formidable power.

The Longevity Demon Lord wielded the halberd, continuously slicing through the incoming invisible ripples. It seemed effortless, but in reality, he was under immense pressure... At this moment, the strength displayed by the Silver-haired Child was even higher than that of Immortal Master Cizi!

It further convinced Shen Mo that this accompanying Demon Soul originated from a Seventh-Order Great Demon; even if not at Seventh Order, it was a powerful being on par with the Longevity Demon Lord, only half a step away from the True Immortal Realm.

The relentless tolling of the Demon-dispelling Bell, with its astonishingly powerful invisible ripples, prevented the Longevity Demon Lord from dealing with Shen Mo, Lady Scarlet, and Qin Zhen simultaneously.

But the Silver-haired Child, guided by the will of the Accompanying Demon Soul, was not having it easy either. With each strike of the Demon-dispelling Bell, his aura weakened slightly. While launching a robust offensive at the Longevity Demon Lord, his entire being visibly weakened.

"You there, kid, this state of mine won’t last long. Show what you’ve got quickly, don’t hold back!" The Silver-haired Child’s face was shrouded in a strange and sinister Demonic Qi, even his speaking tone turned eerily demonic as he shouted loudly at Shen Mo.

"Alright!"

Shen Mo responded, a flash of sword light in his hand, and the Soul Refining Flag appeared abruptly.

Immediately, he violently shook the blood flag, unleashing a flood of blood light, transforming into a monstrous Blood River, as ferocious and powerful Demon Souls roared, struggling to emerge from it.

In the span of a breath, twenty-eight Class V Demon Soul Generals, hundreds of Class IV Demon Soul Generals, nearly ten thousand Class III Demon Soul Generals, and hundreds of thousands of Class II Demon Soul Generals, along with millions of ordinary Soul Generals, emerged from the flag, densely packed, blotting out the sky under the black clouds shrouding the Celestial Palace.

Due to the prior fierce battles in this place, the black mist prohibition roaming in the void was mostly cleared, leaving space for the millions of Soul Generals to stand.

Some residual prohibitions were triggered by the Soul Generals, and the emerging black mist eroded tens of thousands of Soul Generals, causing them to completely vanish, leaving not even a soul mark on the flag face, unable to be summoned again from the Soul Refining Flag.

Yet, in such colossal numbers, tens of thousands of Soul Generals were insignificant...

As soon as the million Soul Generals appeared, Shen Mo gave orders to top Demon Soul Generals like Fairy Pei Yu, Ghost Bride, and Master Hong Jue, who passed them down layer by layer, orchestrating the Soul Generals into formation;

In the blink of an eye, the God Slaying Array formed!

With twenty-seven Class V Demon Soul Generals serving as the array core and millions of Soul Generals as the array base, the imposing sight was terrifying, staining the whole Celestial Palace in a somber dark red hue.

The vacant Class V Demon Soul General was the Possession Ghost Yang Chengxiong (Horse Groom Lv), whom Shen Mo ordered to remain hidden on the side, ready for action.

Such a change, let alone the Silver-haired Child, Lady Scarlet, Qin Zhen, even the Longevity Demon Lord watched in amazement, his heart shaken and turbulent!

"Attack!"

Shen Mo shouted fiercely.

In an instant, the God Slaying Array composed of a million Soul Generals fully unleashed its power.

Nearly infinite Demonic Qi and the magic power of Soul Generals were absorbed by the big array, providing it with the fuel to operate; numerous profound and complex runes flashed and interwove, the dark-tinged killing power surged like a tide!

The killing power reached its peak, unleashing a dreadful phenomenon, filled with billions of thunders, fierce weapons, flames, and shadowy winds within the demonic cloud, not illusions but real killer moves, the outward manifestation of the killing power of the Soul Generals Array.

Since leveling Five Dragon Mountain, refining millions of Soul Generals, this was the first time Shen Mo had unleashed the full power of the Soul Generals Array, and the sight was even a little secretly startling to him.

"Destroy them for me!"

Shen Mo commanded with a thought, maneuvering the Soul Generals Array toward the Longevity Demon Lord!

Instantaneously, myriad celestial lights shone from the Longevity Demon Lord, marking his first active use of defensive magic to date.

"Boom!"

The clash between the Soul Generals Array and the myriad celestial lights erupted with deafening thunder, the terrifying shockwaves swept across hundreds of miles, as if the entire Jade Moon trembled.

The short stalemate akin to flickering sword light saw the continuous annihilation of the runes’ spirit light, killing phenomena inside and outside the Soul Generals Array, along with the strange celestial light on the Longevity Demon Lord, while simultaneously they continued to regenerate.

The sweeping aftershock shattered the Daoist body and soul of numerous as-yet-unfallen powerhouses in the Celestial Palace...

Among them were not only the outsiders who entered the Celestial Palace this time but also many subordinates of the Longevity Demon Lord!

Only the Silver-haired Child, Lady Scarlet, and Qin Zhen were protected by the Soul Generals Array, unharmed in the collision of these two ultimate forces.

Two finger snaps later, the Longevity Demon Lord let out a blood-curdling death thud, transforming from his youthful cultivator form into the Longevity race’s true body of longevity flesh, raising his entire momentum another level!

Simultaneously, from the flesh mass, he divided a shoot as thick as a trunk, swirling the bronze halberd it swung continuously, leveraging the celestial artifact’s power to demolish tide after tide of killing phenomena!

Shen Mo’s eyes shone with a glimmer, piercing through layers of obstructions, spotting the positions of a broken golden page and exotic elixir on the flesh mass’s true body, enveloped by thick meat chunks and surrounded by sparkling spirit light, undoubtedly not ordinary spiritual items.

Instantly, Shen Mo propelled the Soul Generals Array, converging its power to a point, pounding towards the Longevity Demon Lord’s flesh mass true body region.

Simultaneously, he wielded the Taiyi Sword, slicing out a "Fairyland Sword Style"!

"Boom!"

Caught off guard, the Longevity Demon Lord’s flesh mass was blasted open with a bloody massive hole, spewing forth gelatinous jade-like flesh chunks and golden-glittering blood, mixed with numerous spiritual items.

As the Fairyland sword light flashed by, the flesh chunks exuding faint celestial charm, the golden blood, and the broken golden page along with other spiritual items were all whisked into the Sword Zone, secured in the sixth tower chamber of the Demon-Suppressing Tower ready and waiting!

Although Shen Mo had eyes for the bronze halberd in his hands, this celestial artifact had long recognized the Longevity Demon Lord as its master, making it challenging to seize;

Even if seized, as long as the Longevity Demon Lord hadn’t perished, it would be almost impossible to subdue the Artifact Spirit within, ultimately only dispersing its gnosis to obtain a mundane, non-mystical broken magic artifact.

Additionally, Shen Mo dared not casually ingest the elixir exuding full celestial resonance, and might at most study it for a bit.

Yet, whether it was the Longevity Demon Lord’s flesh or that broken golden page, they were treasures of immeasurable value to Shen Mo...

Though his flesh was no match for the True Immortal’s Finger of the Hallow Venerable, it nonetheless could be absorbed by Shen Mo’s Spirit Devouring skill and the bloody fiend method to extract primal power to aid in improving his cultivation level;

Moreover, the broken golden page likely recorded an immortal-level cultivation method, rendering it invaluable!

Upon collecting the Longevity Demon Lord’s flesh, broken golden page, etc., Shen Mo hesitated no longer, once again unleashing a swath of Fairyland Sword Qi, absorbing the Silver-haired Child, Lady Scarlet, and Qin Zhen all into the Sword Zone.

Simultaneously, he waved the Soul Refining Flag to reclaim the million Soul Generals, activating the Reverse Yin and Yang skill!
