Free Web NovelChapter 1342: Chapter 581: Giving You a Chance (2)
-----That is why this Red-haired Celestial Demon is so eager to obtain one or two more Ninth-Grade Demon Artifacts bestowed by the Cyan Bird Celestial Demon! As for the other Initial Tier Celestial Demons in the Cyan Wood Forest, although each possesses their own Thousand Illusionary Body Demon Artifact, they are all just like the Red-haired Celestial Demon, and many of them have tempered theirs for an even shorter time than he has, so they simply cannot compare to High Tier Demon Artifacts. This has also led to the situation in which, among those Initial Tier Celestial Demons in the Cyan Wood Forest, not a single Celestial Demon does not yearn to obtain a Ninth-Grade Demon Artifact bestowed by the Cyan Bird Celestial Demon!
As for the Cyan Bird Celestial Demon’s Cyan Bird’s Wings, they are a pair of wings on its Demon Body itself, which it then tempered and nurtured with its own Supreme Demonic Qi for several million years; only then did they become so powerful, to the point that they are slightly stronger even than a Ninth-Grade Demon Artifact!
Of course, although the Thousand Illusionary Body Demon Artifacts are powerful, because they are body-borne Demon Artifacts, intimately bound to the Celestial Demon’s body, once a Thousand Illusionary Body Demon Artifact is damaged, it means that the body of the Cultivator of the Thousand Illusion Celestial Demon Race will suffer heavy injuries, and may even lead to damage to their foundation, so that for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, their cultivation will be unable to advance—unless they completely repair the Thousand Illusionary Body Demon Artifact. This is also why, despite their power and the fact that every Cultivator of the Thousand Illusion Celestial Demon Race possesses one, very few Celestial Demons of the Thousand Illusion Race directly activate these Thousand Illusionary Body Demon Artifacts to battle their opponents!
By contrast, the Ninth-Grade Demon Artifacts, or even growth-type Divine Artifacts obtained from the outside world, are not within this category. No matter how the Ninth-Grade Demon Artifacts or growth-type Divine Artifacts acquired externally are attacked or destroyed, they will not harm the foundations of the Thousand Illusion Celestial Demon Race’s true bodies!
This was also, over eight thousand years ago,
one of the reasons why, when the Cyan Bird Celestial Demon was pursuing that Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva, it did not display its body’s Cyan Bird’s Wings!
Yet at this very moment,
the Cyan Bird Celestial Demon had no choice but to unleash the Cyan Bird’s Wings.
Because at this moment, Lin Xuankong and his twelve Demon Body Incarnations, relying on the support of the Ultimate Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique, were displaying a level of power and speed that was far too terrifying! That speed was such that even a Mid Stage of Minor Success Celestial Demon like the Cyan Bird Celestial Demon was somewhat astonished; it was even absolutely certain that if it did not activate its own Thousand Illusionary Body Demon Artifact, it would be utterly unable to rush over from afar in time to save the Red-haired Celestial Demon, whose foundation had already been injured!
"Pa-pa-pa-pa"
A violent surge of Primordial Qi fluctuations appeared at the edge of the pit!
Lin Xuankong, who was in the midst of activating the Red-haired Demon Whip, lifted his eyes slightly, only to see that Cyan Bird Celestial Demon who had activated its Thousand Illusionary Body Demon Artifact had, within an extremely brief span of time, seized all dozens of Red-haired Demon Whips being simultaneously driven by Lin Xuankong and his twelve Demon Body Incarnations into its two hands!
Although Lin Xuankong had not yet reached the Early-Stage Minor Success Celestial Immortal, and had not yet comprehended that incomparably subtle, Dao-rhyme-infused attack trajectory, so that when he activated the Red-haired Demon Whip, he could not attain that same unfathomable mystique as when the Red-haired Celestial Demon used it, nonetheless, under the augmentation of the Ultimate Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique, the speed at which Lin Xuankong and his twelve Demon Body Incarnations drove the Red-haired Demon Whip to attack was still considerably faster than that of the Red-haired Celestial Demon!
Yet even with so many Demon Body Incarnations attacking in unison, even though the speed unleashed by the Ultimate Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique was so terrifying, all of the attacks launched by the Red-haired Demon Whips were still completely blocked by the opponent, who even grasped all of the whip-tips of the Red-haired Demon Whips in its hands...
Truly worthy of being a Lord Level Celestial Demon!
Its speed surpasses even the speed I can unleash when activating the Ultimate Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique by at least tenfold!
Within the Supreme Origin Realm, every step a Cultivator takes forward in cultivation yields an improvement that far surpasses the differences in strength between Cultivators of various Realms in the Little Worlds below!
As for this Cyan Bird Celestial Demon, if I do not activate the various wondrous innate powers within the Vigorous in Old Age Life Plate, and rely solely on my Demon Body and Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique, I am most likely not this Cyan Bird Celestial Demon Lord’s match at all!
Lin Xuankong’s thoughts whirled, and his brows involuntarily furrowed.
The Cyan Bird Celestial Demon in the distance opposite him now had Demonic Qi surging all over its body, and it tugged with force on both hands,
and immediately, a surge of irresistible, terrifying power was transmitted along those dozens of Red-haired Demon Whips. If such an incomparably terrifying power were unleashed in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, it could probably directly obliterate heaven and earth across a span of several hundred thousand li; yet in this Supreme Origin Realm, it was suppressed by the dense Primordial Qi and world laws of the Supreme Origin Realm, utterly incapable of causing even the slightest damage to this Supreme Origin Realm!
However, when such terrifying power acted upon those dozens of Red-haired Demon Whips, it caused Lin Xuankong and his twelve Demon Body Incarnations to all let out a muffled groan,
and those dozens of Red-haired Demon Whips that had originally been held in the hands of Lin Xuankong and his twelve Demon Body Incarnations were actually seized with ease by this Mid Stage of Minor Achievement Cyan Bird Celestial Demon.
Lin Xuankong’s already furrowed brows knit even tighter,
while the Cyan Bird Celestial Demon, having seized those dozens of Red-haired Demon Whips, glanced once at the tightly furrowing Lin Xuankong; a trace of greed and burning fervor flashed within its twin pupils, and then it coiled those Red-haired Demon Whips in its hands and tossed them toward the depths of the pit, where the Red-haired Celestial Demon had already recovered from its injuries.
The Red-haired Celestial Demon, who had rapidly recovered from its injuries and was in the Early Stage of Minor Success, flickered, rising from the depths of the pit to land beside the Cyan Bird Celestial Demon, a look of shame and vexation appearing on its face as it bowed and cupped its hands, saying:
"This subordinate is incompetent, actually losing to such an Initial Tier Perfection Little Celestial Immortal, and even needing Lord to personally act to rescue me. I beg Lord to give this subordinate another chance; let this subordinate continue to battle this Initial Tier Perfection Little Celestial Immortal. This time, if this subordinate activates the Thousand Illusion Demon Blood Technique, I will definitely be able to capture him!"
The Cyan Bird Celestial Demon, however, merely shook its head slightly. "If you were to employ the incomparably exalted Thousand Illusion Demon Blood Technique passed down by the most esteemed Thousand Illusion Divine Monarch, then with the effect of your Thousand Illusion Demon Blood Technique at the Minor Success Realm, you would naturally be able to cause your strength to instantly increase more than twentyfold. In contending against this Lin Xuankong, you would presumably be able to seize him with certainty! Yet once the Thousand Illusion Demon Blood Technique is activated, it will damage your cultivation foundation, destroy the Dao-rhyme that has condensed within you, and will inevitably cause your cultivation to stagnate for over tens of thousands of years!
Your Thousand Illusionary Body Demon Artifact, the Red-haired Demon Whip, has already suffered some damage, injuring part of your cultivation foundation; that alone will delay your cultivation for several hundred, even a thousand years. If you were to once again activate the Thousand Illusion Demon Blood Technique, I fear you would injure yourself on top of injury, causing your cultivation to stagnate for over a hundred thousand years!
To deal with this Initial Tier Perfection Lin Xuankong is not worth permitting you to suffer such damage!
Stand down. I shall be the one to deal with this Lin Xuankong!"
Seeing this, the shame and vexation on the Red-haired Celestial Demon’s face grew even more pronounced,
for in its heart it understood all too clearly that its own Lord had long yearned to capture this Lin Xuankong for nearly ten thousand years; moreover, this Lin Xuankong possessed some astonishing Talent... If it could personally act to help its Lord take down this Lin Xuankong, then even if it earned no merit, it would at least have rendered hard service. By the time Lord handed the captured Lin Xuankong over to the incomparably noble Thousand Illusion Divine Monarch, when the Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch bestowed Treasures in reward, perhaps it might obtain just a little bit more!
Curse it! Had I known that this Lin Xuankong could actually cultivate both Demon Techniques and Buddhist Techniques to such a shocking extent, I should have simultaneously activated the Thousand Illusionary Body Demon Artifact and the Thousand Illusion Demon Blood Technique from the very start!
The Red-haired Celestial Demon’s heart was filled with unwillingness; it felt that to withdraw at this moment was tantamount to losing a heaven-sent opportunity, a great chance that might not be encountered even once in several million, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of years!
Yet how could it dare disobey its Lord’s command? With a face full of unwillingness, the Red-haired Celestial Demon stepped back one step at a time, standing behind the Cyan Bird Celestial Demon, a trace of venomous resentment in its eyes as it gazed at Lin Xuankong.
At this moment, the Cyan Bird Celestial Demon’s avian eyes widened slightly as it stared at Lin Xuankong from afar, and it spoke faintly:
"Within this Supreme Origin Realm, whether Celestial Demons, Celestial Immortals, Celestial Demons of the beast races, or Celestial Buddhas, all are merely striving for cultivation. In the end, it is said that in that Supreme Realm, all fuse themselves with the Dao; in this sense, it is also all roads returning to the same destination! Calculated thus, although you belong to the Human Race and are a Cultivator of the Celestial Immortal Realm, it is not necessarily impossible for you to join my Thousand Illusion Celestial Demon Race and become one of us, for after all, you have once cultivated Demon Techniques as well! Mm, for the moment, I shall grant you this opportunity."
