“Let’s do this!”
As Shui Miao’s resolve solidified, he quickly summoned numerous magical treasures stored on his body. Except for the small chessboard formation, his life-linked supreme treasure, and the time-shield treasure, he deployed every available item to resist the corrosion.
At the same time, Shui Miao rapidly repaired the time tower and continued reversing time.
“Please spare me! I’ll never dare again!”
The treasure spirit sensed Shui Miao’s consciousness entering and stealing his memories, immediately becoming nervous and fearful.
“Too late! You evil creature, I absolutely cannot allow you to continue living.”
With a thought, Shui Miao instantly activated his purple fortune energy to destroy this evil treasure spirit that had obtained his soul memories.
Then, Shui Miao began following the forging methods of the Immortal-Demon Realm to transform the yin-yang and five elements’ spirits. Successfully activating his own ten-yin evil flames, he used these flames to reforge materials, directly crafting an extremely thick defensive protective bead.
Forging such a treasure wasn’t particularly difficult.
For Shui Miao, it was very easy.
But Shui Miao always pursued perfection. With plenty of time at his current forging speed, he decided to study the structure of the toxic mist and blood rain outside.
This toxic mist and blood rain had super strong corrosive power, far surpassing soul-devouring forces, and was no less powerful than a holy weapon’s attack.
If he could forge a treasure without fearing the toxic mist and blood rain, and even harness these elements, that would be perfect.
After a while, as if suddenly recalling something, Shui Miao abruptly stopped and placed the just-forged Immortal-Demon Realm protective bead into the toxic mist and blood rain for quenching…
The quenching process for Immortal-Demon Realm treasures differed from that of the Immortal Realm.
The Immortal Realm required powerful spiritual energy and sentient blood, such as dragon blood.
The Immortal-Demon Realm required evil energy, with more sinister energy being better.
Shui Miao, thinking with the Immortal Realm’s perspective, feared the evil energy would corrode the protective bead, which itself was a mistake.
As the protective bead was moved out, an extremely sinister evil energy surged into it, quickly nurturing a treasure spirit inside. With a thought, Shui Miao retrieved the bead. His divine sense detected it was quite good, actually a high-grade demonic treasure. Thus, Shui Miao quickly activated the bead, surrounding his body with protection. When he emerged again, protected by the bead, he was no longer afraid of the toxic mist and blood rain.
“How amazing!”
Shui Miao was extremely excited, discovering that the matters of this world were truly wondrous. Initially, Shui Miao had feared the toxic mist and blood rain, worrying whether the forged protective bead would be corroded. Yet now, he found the bead actually thrived in the toxic mist and blood rain, absorbing evil energy. The sensation was like a fish in water, or a flying dragon in the sky.
For demonic treasures, evil energy was like especially pure holy spiritual energy for immortal treasures.
“If that’s the case, why not forge several large space demon treasures to store massive amounts of evil energy? Then carry them on my person for emergencies? Properly hidden, these could serve as excellent trump cards in urgent situations, with power no less than holy weapons.”
“Great! That’s settled!”
With his thoughts turning, Shui Miao immediately activated his demon furnace, mass-producing space demon treasures to collect the toxic mist and blood rain.
After an hour, Shui Miao forged ten large space spheres, each the size of a basketball. Then he filled these ten large space spheres with toxic mist and blood rain. Another hour passed, during which Shui Miao used this time to reforged five demon furnaces, two sets of protective, flying, and attacking treasures, one set each for Shui Tianyi and himself. Together, they navigated through the toxic mist and blood rain, searching for a way out.
The Immortal-Demon Realm was vast and extremely desolate.
After flying for quite some time, they still hadn’t encountered any living beings. Shui Miao wanted to capture a lifeform to obtain memories, but kept failing.
“Shui Miao, this blind searching won’t work. Why don’t we follow the strongest evil energy?”
Shui Tianyi was somewhat frustrated from flying.
Shui Miao was slightly taken aback, “Why? Why follow the strongest evil energy?”
“Dummy, haven’t you noticed after flying for so long that some areas have weak evil energy while others have strong?”
Shui Tianyi was an experienced immortal, having survived in the Immortal Realm for thousands of years, possessing ample experience.
Although Shui Miao had lived for thousands of years, he had spent them all inside the time tower. He was particularly skilled in formations, but upon hearing Shui Tianyi’s words, he momentarily couldn’t grasp the concept. However, soon Shui Miao thought of a possibility and quickly said, “Sister, you mean this toxic mist and blood rain was released by a demon god, not naturally occurring?”
“Of course! This place used to be an ancient battlefield. If the heavenly court had defeated the Immortal-Demon Realm back then, this place would now be sunny and filled with immortal energy, becoming a second heavenly court. Why would it be so filled with sinister energy? Therefore, I dare to conclude that the existence of this toxic mist and blood rain must be due to some formations placed by the demon god, similar to Ling Shuai’s defensive towers. The Immortal-Demon Realm is using these defensive towers to generate evil energy to block the immortals’ steps.”
Shui Tianyi’s analytical abilities were also strong.
Her ability to think of these things was closely related to today’s attack on Ling Shuai by those demons.
Shui Miao had killed several experts from the Immortal-Demon Realm. Upon receiving this news, the Immortal-Demon Realm would surely assume the Immortal Realm would launch a major invasion. Unprepared, they naturally activated formations to generate toxic mist and blood rain to block the immortals’ advance.
Shui Miao’s thoughts were enlightened, and everything suddenly made sense.
“Great! Let’s go now!”
Shui Miao was extremely excited.
Shui Miao wasn’t necessarily thinking of helping the heavenly court against the Immortal-Demon Realm, but rather wanted to see what the formation generating the toxic mist and blood rain was like. If he could learn it, he could directly create these formations, eliminating the need to use space demon treasures to collect the toxic mist and blood rain.
“Okay!”
Shui Tianyi agreed, also eager to witness it.
With a lead, things became easier.
Wearing极品demon shoes, the two found an Immortal-Demon Realm castle enveloped in unusually thick toxic mist within half an hour.
Of course, at this point, Shui Miao and Shui Tianyi didn’t yet know there was a castle hidden behind the thick toxic mist.
Shui Miao and Shui Tianyi directly charged into the toxic mist area, moving forward. As they walked, they suddenly sensed a shield blocking their path ahead. Undoubtedly, this should be a large defensive formation.
“Shui Miao, what should we do?”
Shui Tianyi immediately came over, grabbed Shui Miao’s hand, and mentally transmitted.
“Who cares? First, use the small chessboard formation to blast the defensive shield.”
With a thought, Shui Miao shook off Shui Tianyi’s hand, immediately stepping back and activating the small chessboard formation, launching a powerful strike at the shield.
Instantly, a seven-colored light beam suddenly appeared. In the chaotic toxic mist, it was as if a giant sun had emerged. The scorching light aggressively dispersed the surrounding toxic mist, instantly shattering the defensive shield and diluting the evil energy around. As the light grew brighter, Shui Miao and Shui Tianyi also caught sight of a pitch-black castle.
“We found it!”
Shui Tianyi was thrilled, convinced there must be valuable treasures inside the castle.
“Sister, aren’t we being a bit too hasty? Such a large castle must definitely have super experts inside. Otherwise, let’s not rush. Why don’t we investigate the detailed situation first?” Seeing the scale of the castle, a pitch-black expanse resembling the Immortal Realm’s Xian Du Mountain, Shui Miao’s heart immediately felt uneasy.
After all, this was the Immortal-Demon Realm.
Even in the Immortal Realm, Shui Miao wouldn’t dare attack an immortal city so brazenly without knowing the opponent’s strength.
Thinking of the ancient immortal city that had perished in the Immortal-Demon Realm, Shui Miao became even more cautious.
“Shui Miao, stop worrying unnecessarily. We’re launching a surprise attack, they won’t be prepared. We just need to act quickly…” Shui Tianyi wasn’t particularly concerned.
Unable to stop the formation generating the toxic mist and blood rain meant they couldn’t determine direction, and without direction, escape was impossible. Shui Miao frowned, “Fine, then let’s do it quickly!”
The castle’s defensive shield was already broken. Shui Miao flew toward the castle’s interior, simultaneously activating the small chessboard formation, preparing for an even more powerful attack.
※※※
Inside the castle
Three thousand immortal-demon soldiers were gathered in the castle hall. These immortal-demon soldiers were all small giants, three meters tall, broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, wearing pitch-black cold armor, each wielding a massive black dragon-slaying broadsword.
In front of the immortal-demon soldiers was a skeleton demon emperor riding a white skeletal dragon, cloaked in a black robe.
This skeleton demon emperor was truly just a pale skeleton!
However, the black robe covered his body, revealing only his skull and the pair of blood-red eyes on his skull.
The immortal-demon soldiers quickly assembled.
Suddenly, the skeleton demon emperor spoke in a human voice, his tone sinister: “We have slept for too long… too long… Today, immortals have finally come knocking! Let’s go devour their souls. Within a tea’s time, at most a tea’s time, the city’s large reinforcements will arrive. By then, they won’t leave us even a scrap of the immortals. So now is the time for us to launch an attack, capture the immortals, devour their flesh, and let us revive!”
As the skeleton demon emperor spoke, his tone became increasingly frenzied.
“Revive!”
“Revive! Revive! Revive!”
All the immortal-demon soldiers roared疯狂ly, their气势oppressive and terrifying.
All the immortal-demon soldiers roared furiously, their aura oppressive and terrifying.
“Kill!”
Suddenly, the skeleton demon emperor shouted “kill,” and all the immortal-demon soldiers instantly roared, flying up!
“Oh no, it’s an ambush!”
Upon hearing the sounds, Shui Tianyi’s face immediately changed.
It would be strange if there were no dangers. Now realizing there was an ambush was already too late. Shui Miao sighed in frustration, knowing there was no turning back now. He had no choice but to fight his way through, carving a bloody path.
Immediately, Shui Miao suddenly activated the small chessboard formation against the charging immortal-demon soldiers!
A seven-colored light beam reappeared, instantly eliminating a large number of immortal-demon soldiers.
However, at this moment, the skeleton demon emperor, riding the white skeletal dragon, silently approached Shui Miao from the other side of the castle…
“Ahh! Shui Miao, behind you, behind you…”
Shui Tianyi, nervously looking around in fear, suddenly spotted the skeleton demon emperor riding the white skeletal dragon and immediately screamed in panic!
“Behind me?”
Shui Miao abruptly turned around and immediately saw the skeleton demon emperor riding the white skeletal dragon over a hundred meters away. His pair of blood-red eyes, under the white light, appeared extremely red and eerie!
However, at this moment, the small chessboard formation had just begun to activate…
What a brilliant feint…
“Roar!”
First, the white skeletal dragon launched an attack. It opened its mouth and sprayed a large amount of white crystal flowers toward Shui Miao…
