Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 297: Chapter 297 The Boastful Tang Yuan_1

Faint sounds of the wind arose.

Several figures moved as fast as lightning without using their breaths.

Under Tang Yuan’s leadership, a few Great Qian Grandmasters were heading towards a certain destination with clear intent.

All were cultivators whose cultivation suppressed those in the common world.

At this moment, their expressions were extremely cautious, actively looking in all directions and listening attentively.

Tang Yuan tried hard to capture any movement around them, then suddenly frowned and looked back, “Isn’t this going a bit too far?”

He was also from a humble background and understood the hardships of ordinary cultivators.

Definitely one of the most temperate among the powerhouses in the Divinity Transformation Realm.

But this didn’t mean he could tolerate someone following so closely behind, using all sorts of techniques to conceal their presence, their despicable intentions were self-evident, it wasn’t just about wanting a share of the loot, it was practically like charging in and grabbing the whole pot and smashing the bowl.@@novelbin@@

Who would do things like this!

“Could it be that without the real persons from Mysterious Light Cave and Wutong Mountain, they underestimate me, Tang Yuan?”

“Senior, please calm your anger, the matter at hand is important.”

The rest could only whisper their persuasion, “We have entered the territory of the Demon Emperor now, we must be extremely careful.”

“…”

Tang Yuan took a deep breath; he was only somewhat dissatisfied but had no intention of starting a fight.

In the Thousand Demon Cave, there was no such thing as a safe place.

Even if his master, Qingfeng Zhenren, came in person, he would still have to conceal his breath and move cautiously, for there is always a higher mountain beyond this one.

“How far away is that cave dwelling’s rift?”

“Nine hundred li.”

Hou Wanhai, being the highest in cultivation among the Great Qian Grandmasters, took out the Jade Slip and felt it carefully, “This information was bought with the lives of two of our Great Qian sect’s grandmasters, there’s no falsehood. The dwelling won’t open for several hundred more years, Thousand Demon Cave should be unguarded.”

“That’s good.”

Tang Yuan steadied his mind, even with his cultivation, it was better not to engage in a fight within the Thousand Demon Cave if possible.

“It may seem presumptuous, but I still want to ask one more question, Senior Tang, has your cultivation made any progress?” whispered Hou Wanhai.

Tang Yuan smiled at the question, “Most demons outside the fortieth cave are no match for me, and if we encounter the strongest Jinjing Lion, with the treasure bestowed by my master, I will be safe.”

The Golden Eyes Lion Emperor was the Demon Emperor of the forty-first cave.

It was a watershed, above which only cultivators in the Transcendent Spirit Middle Stage could contend against.

“Then we can be at ease.”

Hou Wanhai breathed a sigh of relief, the place they were going to should not have such a powerful Demon Emperor.

“But speaking of which, it’s odd.”

He glanced around, “Logically, with the fall of the Blood Transforming Demon Emperor, the Thousand Demon Cave should have reacted somehow, why is it quieter than before?”

“Don’t bother asking about that.”

Tang Yuan obviously knew the inside story, the real persons from Wutong Mountain hadn’t been active for a long time; finally getting a chance to stretch their limbs, the Thousand Demon Cave had no time now to care for other matters.

With that said, everyone quieted down.

They quickened their pace once again.

Soon, a small mountain peak appeared before everyone’s eyes, and strangely, a part of its peak was eerily twisted.

This was the situation caused by a malfunction in a formation.

Caves like this were countless in the Thousand Demon Cave, and both demons and human cultivators fought desperately for such seemingly insignificant information.

An opening in a formation could very well be the opportunity for the rise of a certain power.

“Have you explored it?” Tang Yuan asked.

“No… last time by chance we encountered a demon, and it was only by sacrificing two of our own that we managed to escape.”

Before Hou Wanhai could finish speaking, Tang Yuan’s expression changed subtly.

“So you’re telling me that even the demons knew about this breach?”

Seeing several people silently nodding in confirmation, Tang Yuan almost laughed out of frustration, “Have you been ordered around by Mysterious Light Cave for so long that you’ve lost the ability to think? Such crucial information, and you only tell me now?”

Chastised, Hou Wanhai awkwardly opened his mouth, “Sorry.”

Harsh as the other’s words were, they were true.

After so many years, they had grown accustomed to following orders, for no matter how clear their understanding, even if they knew they were walking into certain death, they were bound to march forward at a single command from Mysterious Light Cave.

Now, everyone had almost forgotten whether it was because of Great Qian’s influence that they dared not rebel, or if they had already lost the capacity to resist and to think.

“Enough,”

Tang Yuan took back his gaze with annoyance, too apathetic to argue with these people who were no different from “tools.”

He landed on the mountain peak, confirming he felt no presence of demons.

Only then did he reach out toward the gap in the Formation.

The sixteen sui fruits were no small matter; he could only hope that the demons hadn’t taken whatever was inside.

Several Great Qian Grandmasters followed guiltily.

At that moment, however, they noticed a slight change in Tang Yuan’s expression, and his figure was still at the original spot, unable to enter the cave as expected.

“It’s a fake! Be on guard!”

Tang Yuan roared in anger, his aura surging beneath his snow-white outfit.

Towering flames spread out in an instant!

Almost at the same time, tangible golden light burst from afar, piercing through the wave of fire, smashing it to pieces. Tang Yuan tried to retract his arm to counterattack, but found a dark chain had wrapped itself around the arm that had reached into the gap of the Formation.

With no time to think, he raised his left arm and swung it down in a smacking motion!

A thick wave of flame churned in the sky, solidifying into a palm a hundred zhang wide, its lines lifelike, and it smashed down towards what lay ahead in an instant!

The golden light tore across Tang Yuan’s face, the wound oozing with magma-like blood.

He slashed upwards towards the sky without hesitation!

Dividing the giant palm in two, but still unable to stop the crushing force from bearing down.

Boom!

In an instant, more than half of the tall mountain was engulfed by a sea of fire.

“This…”

From a distance, Xu Wanyun slowly stopped in her tracks, staring blankly as though witnessing the might of the Divinity Transformation Realm for the first time, turning to Shen Yi in bewilderment, “Can you really participate in such a battle?”

“Is this Formation work?”

Shen Yi didn’t answer her but turned to look at A’Qing.

If he remembered correctly, he had seen something similar described in the basic Formation texts.

“Big Brother Shen is so amazing; this is the Xu Family’s Ghostly Dragon Locking Formation…”

A’Qing had just finished speaking when she suddenly looked forward in shock, “The Xu Family’s Formation, how could it be here in Thousand Demon Cave?”

As if answering her, two figures slowly emerged from the waves of fire.

In the forefront was a magnificent Lion Demon, eight zhang tall, with eyes like lucent Precious Jade.

Behind it was a gaunt old man in tattered clothes, his body covered in Formations, which supported his standing.

“How does that feel?”

The Golden Eyes Lion Emperor stepped forward nonchalantly, taunting, “Even your own toys can be of use to us.”

In Tang Yuan’s eyes, flames rose, and together with the gash on his face, he looked ferocious in the extreme.

His right arm was wrapped tightly by the chains, which continued to creep toward his shoulder.

That was not merely a gap in the Formation, but a trap left intentionally by another grand array.

Tang Yuan slowly regulated his breathing, as if stimulated by the pain, he cracked a smile revealing his stark white teeth, “Even with one hand, I might still be able to cut you down.”
