Chapter 547: The Identity of the Demon Immortal

Shui Miao never expected that by impersonating a dragon, he would invite such a calamity!

Five divine thunderbolts fell from the sky. Not only did they burn Shui Miao’s body to a charred black, but they also shattered his false appearance, restoring him to his original form. Under the violent onslaught of the five thunderbolts, the dragon aura that Shui Miao had absorbed from the young dragon, Hui De, was completely dispelled by the lightning. Only a faint trace of Nuwa Stone essence remained, aiding in healing his wounds.

Under the influence of the Nuwa Stone essence, Shui Miao quickly regained consciousness and his skin returned to normal.

Indeed, the essence of the Nuwa Stone was wondrous!

Shui Miao stood up, his mind flashing with intent. He immediately recalled all the immortal energy and Soul Devouring Force he had dispersed and began drawing upon the Nuwa Stone essence to nourish his body and transform his physical constitution.

“General, he—he seems to have changed! He must be an Immortal Monarch in disguise!”

Fang Ze couldn’t help but speak again. His perception was extremely sharp, and he detected that the aura radiating from Shui Miao was indeed that of an Immortal Monarch. Yet he couldn’t understand why an Immortal Monarch would disguise himself as a dragon.

“Whoever he is, my orders are to eliminate him, so I will eliminate him!”

Fang Zhentian was a general who obeyed orders without question, though he was also deeply puzzled.

Shui Miao used his Soul Devouring Force to form a shield, looked up at the sky, and remained still, waiting for an even fiercer thunder calamity.

Just moments ago, after being struck by the five divine thunderbolts, Shui Miao had realized that his body had fused with the Nuwa Stone essence, bringing immense benefits that were beyond words.

Normally, it would be nearly impossible to merge his body with the Nuwa Stone essence.

Now, with this heaven-sent opportunity, how could Shui Miao possibly let it slip away?

But for safety, after a moment of contemplation, Shui Miao layered another shield of immortal energy inside the Soul Devouring Force shield.

“Sure enough, he’s an Immortal Monarch!”

Seeing the unusual situation, General Fang Zhentian quickly ordered his aide, Fang Ze, to return and report to the historical records office. Then he murmured to himself, “What could this Immortal Monarch possibly be up to? Is he trying to use our divine thunder劫 (jie) to cultivate? There’s a strange, mysterious aura around him, one that blends seamlessly with the heavens and earth, making it impossible to see through his true identity. We can only sense his cultivation level by the strength of the immortal energy radiating from his body. And yet, there’s also a layer of sinister energy surrounding him—could this Immortal Monarch be a being of both righteousness and darkness?”

“Are they not coming yet?”

After waiting for a while and seeing no movement in the sky, Shui Miao suddenly surged upward, piercing through the dark clouds.

“General, the Ten Holy Divine Thunders are ready. We await your command!”

Seeing Shui Miao rushing upward, a Thunder Deity quickly reported.

“It is my duty. Esteemed Immortal Monarch, the Ten Holy Divine Thunders are no trifling matter. I hope you can survive this!”

Though unwilling to harm an Immortal Monarch, Fang Zhentian dared not defy orders. He waved his command flag, and the Fire Thunder Formation trembled violently, unleashing the Ten Holy Divine Thunders.

These Ten Holy Divine Thunders were no ordinary technique—they were the most powerful thunder formation in the Fire Thunder Bureau, specifically designed to combat demonic immortals.

Whether an Immortal Monarch could withstand such an attack was something no Immortal Monarch had dared to test before.

“Just in time!”

Suddenly sensing an overwhelming force descending from the heavens, Shui Miao felt no fear—only a sense of noble resolve and fearless sacrifice.

Boom!

The Ten Holy Divine Thunders fell from the sky, unstoppable and unbreakable. They struck the ground with immense force, creating a deep crater and igniting raging flames across a hundred-meter radius. The entire area was reduced to a charred wasteland.

Within the dark clouds, all the Thunder Deities held their breath, watching the ground intently.

Below, Fang Zhentian stared at the crater, his heart heavy. He truly did not wish to destroy an Immortal Monarch. He was deeply anxious—should the higher-ups have made a mistake, he would bear the consequences.

“General! General! Orders from above demand our immediate withdrawal—no delay!”

Fang Ze rushed back in a panic.

Upon hearing this, Fang Zhentian stomped his foot in frustration, sighed deeply, and turned away in gloom. The Thunder Deities, realizing the mistake, knew they had caused a grave problem and wasted no time dismantling the formation and retreating.

Inside the crater, more than ten meters deep, Shui Miao’s condition was pitiful. He looked like a desiccated, charred skeleton—motionless, devoid of both Soul Devouring Force and immortal energy, seemingly completely lifeless.

Yet, Shui Miao was not dead. A faint trace of consciousness still lingered.

“These Ten Holy Divine Thunders are truly formidable…”

Shui Miao focused his mind, continuously drawing Nuwa Stone essence from his inner realm to heal his wounds.

Meanwhile, the aura from the young dragon Hui De grew stronger.

Upon sensing Shui Miao’s grave injuries, Hui De quickly offered some of his dragon blood to aid in the healing.

The dragon blood carried a rich concentration of Nuwa Stone essence, and with its infusion, Shui Miao’s recovery accelerated significantly.

By nightfall, Shui Miao had fully recovered.

Not only had his body healed, but his immortal energy had also returned in great measure.

Sensing inwardly, Shui Miao discovered that his immortal energy and Soul Devouring Force had fused together, now laced with the essence of the Nuwa Stone—sacred, unique, and brimming with unknown power.

Shui Miao felt as though his body had completely transformed, like a divine artifact infused with the essence of the Nuwa Stone and dragon blood—pure, holy, and indestructible. However, due to the dragon blood, his aura had completely changed, becoming identical to Hui De’s. Scales began to appear across his body, and his appearance shifted—he no longer resembled his former self. In truth, he now looked like a true demonic immortal.

Shui Miao had never imagined that his clever scheme would backfire so drastically—transforming him into a demonic immortal not just in appearance, but in essence.

This unexpected change left Shui Miao uncertain whether to rejoice or despair.

On one hand, he could now enter the Immortal Realm openly as a demonic immortal, without fear of being recognized.

On the other, he had transformed from a human into a monster, which unsettled him emotionally.

Fortunately, Shui Miao was a man who could accept the inevitable. He soon came to terms with it—this new form would actually make it easier for him to seek vengeance in the Immortal Realm.

“It’s time to head to the Immortal Realm!”

At once, Shui Miao calmed his mind, focused his thoughts, and entered his inner realm.

Visualizing the Celestial Gate floating above the planet within his mind’s eye, Shui Miao summoned his immortal energy and struck the gate with tremendous force. With a thunderous roar, the gate was violently torn open. Furthermore, as his immortal energy had now merged with the Soul Devouring Force, the gate soon completely collapsed, shattering into fragments. A colossal surge of immortal energy then rushed into Shui Miao’s inner realm like a tidal wave, enveloping his entire being in immortal power, which kept rising—higher and higher!

As the torrent of immortal energy flooded in, Shui Miao’s inner realm began to undergo a miraculous transformation!
