The First Immortal of Destiny

"Fellow Daoist Qingyun is truly blessed!"

The silver-haired child and Kang Haoxiu showed a peculiar expression on their faces, teasingly said.

"Pah, vixen..." Hidden within the puppet’s spatial treasure, Qin Zhen flushed slightly and spat lightly.

The main reason was Lady Scarlet’s tender and seductive demeanor, combined with words like "welcoming with open arms," anyone could understand what she truly meant!

"..."

Shen Mo’s mouth twitched as he murmured to deflect the topic.

Years ago, when Lady Scarlet used the spiritual key token to his cave mansion on Wangxian Mountain, she came to the Red Flame Zone seeking him through an ancient Teleportation Array, Shen Mo vaguely sensed it and even brought along his Dao companion Zhao Lingyin to welcome her.

Later, she did not come to the Red Flame Zone anymore, seemingly quelled those unusual thoughts.

Yet, upon today’s reunion, her expressions were even more revealing than before, evidently not as Shen Mo hoped to sever those ideas, but instead, the suppressed desire grew fiercer over the years.

In her words, she clearly informed Shen Mo... she no longer cared whether she could become his Dao companion or about Zhao Lingyin’s existence, only needed him to visit Dayu Mountain in his free time to spend a lovely evening together!

Lady Scarlet possesses the Charming Body, naturally seductive in bone, her every smile and gesture could stir the deepest desires within people’s hearts;

Such straightforward reveals of her feelings were indeed the pinnacle of seduction.

If Shen Mo’s Path Heart weren’t steadfast, aided by the Basic Destiny [Moon-like] to resist such alluring temptations, he might have found it difficult to control himself at this moment!

Actually, one couldn’t blame Lady Scarlet for being so wanton, as this is a special effect brought by the "Charming Body" and "Desire Body," much like how the Fire Spirit Body naturally fears water-type magic and spiritual items; those with the Charming Body often achieve twice the effect with half the effort when cultivating seduction type magic and cultivation methods, while enchanting others, they also bear certain costs.

Once someone captures their true feelings, they’ll find ways to attain that person, the more suppressed, the more blazing the inner fire becomes...

Years before, when Lady Scarlet developed unconventional feelings for Shen Mo, had Shen Mo acceded to her wishes early on, it would merely be a scandalous affair quite hard to speak of.

Due to Zhao Lingyin, Lady Scarlet was forced to suppress her emotional desires, and after ascending to the Immortal Realm, they were even worlds apart; as such, that sliver of emotion continually grew, arriving at an incurable state now!

Now, not to mention becoming Shen Mo’s concubine, even if Shen Mo proposed an exceedingly outrageous demand, Lady Scarlet would likely agree wholeheartedly.

...

As the two caught up, the ghost-faced great demon finally couldn’t hold back and made a move!

Through "Insight into All Beings," Shen Mo realized this demon was a mutant born from the Thousand-eyed clan and other demons, possessing middle-stage Formless Realm (Class VI) cultivation, despite suppression from unfathomable power, still exerting power comparable to a Divine Bridge Realm Immortal Master.

Its form trembled, flying out bizarre, ferocious-looking demon shadows from the ghostly faces on its body, charging towards the palace harboring the Immortal Treasure amid nauseating demon howls.

"Boom!"

"Rumble!"

The palace’s prohibition appeared under the assault of demon shadows, intricate runes illuminating, breaking apart continuously.

With the ghost-faced great demon’s action, others follow suit, each unleashing magic treasures, employing magic, and performing Skills, launching fierce attacks against it!

Shen Mo held nothing back.

After all, having clashed with this ghost-faced great demon earlier, naturally he would thoroughly beat the fallen, hoping to obliterate him altogether.

He wielded the Taiyi Sword, enhancing with the [Uncommon Victory] Destiny for extra damage against demons, its Sword Light dazzlingly bright, continually spilling massive sword Qi from the Universe towards the ghost-faced demon, specifically targeting the ghostly faces on its body.

Its weakness, akin to the Thousand-eyed clan, lies in the eyes scattered across its body, whereas this demon’s weakness resides in those grotesque ghost faces!

Destroying one ghost face weakens its strength slightly.

Lady Scarlet, the silver-haired child, Kang Haoxiu, and Qin Zhen also launched aggressive assaults on the ghost-faced demon;

Aside from them, including those cultivators from Luofu Mountain encountered earlier, and the young lord of Luofu Mountain, were amidst the tumult, furiously deploying Killing Magic at the ghost-faced great demon!

The ghost-faced demon casting spells eventually wore down one-tenth of the prohibitions outside the palace while enduring the collective barrage, ultimately unable to persevere further, even sustaining half its body battered, leading to a grudging retreat; subsequently, it unleashed its demon shadows, forcefully slaying two Divine Bridge Realm cultivators who dared to attack it, to deter the crowd, their offensive gradually ceased in response.

The atmosphere returned to a stalemate.

"Prolonging this delay won’t do! Better we join forces to break the prohibition first, then rely on our skills to seize those three celestial treasures, wouldn’t you agree?" An "hour" later, the hot-tempered ghost-faced demon spoke up again, proposing.

Whether it devoured some spiritual item or possessed incredible magic or Skill, it restored its battered body in such a short period, showing no decline in aura.

This proposal quickly received approval from several Formless Realm cultivators and extraordinary Class VI creatures present.

They held superior strength, such arrangements increase their likelihood of securing celestial treasures significantly!

For those Divine Bridge Realm (Class V) eyeing celestial treasures, they wish those stronger opponents brawl among themselves first, spilling their brains, so those relatively weaker can seize a chance at the treasures.

Yet, those few in the Formless Realm (Class VI) privately reached agreements, leaving others unable to alter the situation!

Thankfully, within the Immortal Mansion Dungeon, the disparity between Divine Bridge Realm and Formless Realm wasn’t as vast compared to the outside, although they were inferior, they could still manage a fight, not entirely without opportunity.

Quickly, the Formless Realm (Class VI) strongmen, including the ghost-faced great demon, commenced spells to break the prohibitions.

Still retained some reserves to intimidate the onlooking Formless Realm cultivators and Class V creatures, ensuring they dared not act rashly.

"Crash!"

The entirety of the palace shuddered suddenly, the prohibitions outside breached.

"That bronze halberd is mine, whoever dares to snatch it from me will have their soul obliterated!"

"I claim that golden page..."

The Formless Realm present rejoiced yet continued to wield threats among the crowd.

However, before they could enter the palace, sudden changes occurred!

Exotic elixir, bronze halberd, and damaged golden page, three celestial treasures, were enveloped in immortal light, soaring skyward.

Simultaneously.

Peculiar lights from formation operations illuminated all corners of the Celestial Palace, ominous blood-tinged clouds emerged unwarranted, forming an inescapable net enveloping the entire jade sphere.

Some perceived the foreboding signs, immediately set off escaping light to fly out of the Celestial Palace, yet met the terrifying thunder light striking from the clouds, instantly exploding into a bloody mist, resulting in an end devoid of corpse bones, nothing but scattered scraps from magic treasures left, subsequently corroded following prohibition activation by eerie black mist.

Those having obtained Longevity Pills within the Celestial Palace and consumed them, experienced strange transformations, their Dao body and soul eroded as if, bit by bit, from head to toe, soon entirely dissolved into continually writhing longevity flesh!
