The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 870: Chapter 820: Mortal Flesh Can Battle Immortals, Invincible Demon Lord

“`

Thunder Gods filled the sky with their roars, shaking the heavens. In just a moment, the void transformed into a sea of thunderbolts.

“`

“`

Bai Qicang, embodying the wielder of thunderbolts, shone with Talisman that glittered around him. A sea of thunder enveloped the eight directions, laying down the Five Thunder Array.

“`

“`

The three Great Demons wore serious expressions, as their magical divine weapons manifested, permeated by demonic aura, they kept the heavenly thunder at bay. The weapons in their hands emitted a terrifying presence, sweeping through the void and shattering the sea of thunder with a thunderous crash.

“`

“`

Unconcerned about his Thunder Method being obstructed, Bai Qicang’s eyes did not flicker in the slightest. His divine sword appeared in his hand, its Sword Qi slashing through the void, carrying the immense force of thunderbolts. It swept through the winds and clouds; galaxies collapsed, and stars shimmered. At this moment, Bai Qicang was valiant and unstoppable.

“`

“`

“With mortal flesh, he is enough to battle immortals!” Up on Shenxiao Mountain, Pei Xuanjing, who was watching the battle, revealed a faint smile and praised while fiddling with the Sanbao Jade Ruyi in his hand.

“`

“`

Around him, Wu Shijiu and a few others were shocked to hear Pei Xuanjing’s high appraisal of Bai Qicang. They had just witnessed Pei Xuanjing slay several Demon Kings with a single sword strike, a display of terrifying power that could only be showcased by an Immortal Daoist Strongman.

“`

“`

But at this moment, Bai Qicang alone was facing the three Great Demons. Although he had the upper hand, he was not completely overwhelming them, let alone as effortlessly dominant as Pei Xuanjing had been moments before.

“`

“`

Hence, they wondered what merits Bai Qicang possessed to receive such high regard from Pei Xuanjing.

“`

“`

“Do not underestimate the disciple of Ancestor Celestial Master. He is truly a direct disciple of a Heavenly Master, and his cultivation has reached inscrutable depths after a thousand-year consolidation, which is by no means an empty talk. In fact, he is now no different from me before I ascended,” Pei Xuanjing explained. “Even in my view, he already has the qualifications to become a Dao-Certifying True Immortal and to condense the Taoist Fruit. It’s just that he did not choose to ascend during this convergence of Heaven and Earth.”

“`

“`

Pei Xuanjing believed that Bai Qicang’s thousands of years of accumulation had already made him an incredibly powerful existence, no less profound in his accumulation of power than Pei Xuanjing, who had enhanced his own power through multiple uses of the Life Simulator.

“`

“`

However, although Bai Qicang had the qualifications to become an immortal, he did not choose to do so this time. Pei Xuanjing believed there was an eight or nine out of ten chance that he had received a message and was preparing to return to protect the Dao of his Ancestor Celestial Master.

“`

“`

“Missing this opportunity to become an immortal, with the strength he has shown, when the age of True Immortals oppresses the world, trying to become an immortal again will likely meet with greater resistance,” Pei Xuanjing mused, his eyes flashing with unpredictable light.

“`

“`

Pei Xuanjing acknowledged Bai Qicang’s choice, but the path to ascension might face greater obstacles ahead, especially after displaying such terrifying talent and power.

“`

“`

As many supreme strong ones ascend to immortality, the ensuing age will be dominated by True Immortals guiding the overall situation, and even supreme beings like Bai Qicang will no longer lead the era.

“`

“`

Facing such a talented and powerful individual as Bai Qicang, the Demon Race will certainly not sit idly by if he wishes to ascend to immortality in the future, and the human race’s True Immortals will surely intervene to prevent it.

“`

“`

Pei Xuanjing felt that if the human and Demon Races continued their stalemate, the next time Bai Qicang attempted to ascend to immortality would inevitably be a catalyst that sparks a clash between the True Immortals of both races, leading to an all-out war.

“`

“`

Boom!

“`

Just as Pei Xuanjing’s thoughts began to drift, a location within the Taixu Mirror caught his attention.

“What a pity,” Pei Xuanjing lamented as he watched the scene projected by the Taixu Mirror.

A Supreme Strong had fallen, or to put it another way, a Dao-certifying True Immortal, a Supreme Strong who had already delved into the realm of the Immortal Dao, had perished.

The Invincible Demon Lord Wu Fa, a giant among the Independent Practitioners of the Demonic Way, was born into the Demonic Way. He had always been a loner, walking between Heaven and Earth with his overpowering strength, making countless enemies, yet no one could withstand him.

But Heaven and Earth changed. After the merging of the two realms, Supreme Strongs could no longer dominate, and the True Immortals, soon to emerge, gained dominion over Heaven and Earth. The Invincible Demon Lord Wu Fa knew that if he did not break through, he would inevitably face retribution from his past foes once True Immortals appeared.

Therefore, under these circumstances, the Invincible Demon Lord Wu Fa also chose to attempt a breakthrough in his Dao certification. As long as he succeeded in becoming a True Immortal, he would be able to continue to roam freely between Heaven and Earth. After all, by that time, as a True Immortal, the other factions would not be keen to provoke him.

The Invincible Demon Lord Wu Fa had no allies; after all, with his way of doing things, he never needed friends. To avoid danger during the merging of the realms, when everyone began certifying their Dao, he did not rush to act but chose to wait for the right moment.

As various powerful beings successively attracted the attention of the Demon Race, the Invincible Demon Lord Wu Fa finally made his move to certify his Dao. Unfortunately, his Divine Abilities were no match for fate. He could overcome the tribulations of Heaven and Earth, but the Obstruction Tribulation was too difficult to cross.

Facing the combined assault of two Supreme Strongs from the Demon Race, even though he desperately vanquished his opponents, his own transformation was interrupted as a result, his divine body dissolved, and his Divine Soul began to dissipate.

“Ah!!! I refuse to be reconciled! I have roamed Heaven and Earth for tens of thousands of years, my Dao certification was within reach today; alas, I have come so close, yet I cannot accept this!” the Invincible Demon Lord Wu Fa roared towards the sky, his expression filled with desolation and unwillingness, his eyes brimming with murderous intent and fury. But the reality now was such that he had lost the potential for Dao certification, he, whose Taoist Fruit was damaged, faced only dissolution.

“I refuse to resign myself to this. If I cannot achieve Dao certification in this lifetime, then I will in the next. The Demonic Way will not perish, nor shall I. When I step into the cycle of reincarnation and return in another lifetime, I shall certify my Dao again,” Wu Fa’s eyes flashed with madness, and he made a resolute decision in his heart.

Reincarnation!

The dissolution of his current life was already a certainty, and no one could save him. Moreover, even if he survived, his cultivation would likely go down the drain. For Wu Fa, who had made enemies of the entire world, perhaps death was indeed the best choice.

At this critical juncture, he prepared for a final desperate struggle, deciding to enter the Nine Netherworld and the land of reincarnation. Perhaps there he would have a chance at another life.

Boom!

With all his remaining strength, burning his essence, Qi, and spirit for one last effort, Wu Fa plunged into the depths of the earth, countless miles down, where an eerie and strange aura emanated. Wu Fa stepped in without a sliver of hesitation. From that moment on, his presence vanished from between Heaven and Earth, as if he had never existed.

“To become a Dao-certifying True Immortal is to be born, or else to die; for most Supreme Strongs, it is so! The Nine Netherworld, reincarnation, do they truly exist?” Pei Xuanjing mused, watching the choice made by Wu Fa, a complex expression surfacing in his eyes.
