Su Yuan looked at the Red Spirit Demon Lord wrapped in calamity energy and couldn’t help but smile kindly.
He hadn’t expected it would actually happen.
Because calamity energy usually had an owner—whoever’s calamity energy it was belonged to them. Generally, it was impossible to directly transfer calamity energy onto another living being.
But the calamity energy in the Nine Nether Realm was somewhat special. It seemed that the calamity energy there was ownerless; there was no concept of possession.
Su Yuan saw that after the dense calamity energy enveloped the Red Spirit Demon Lord, it began invading his body, starting to affect the Demon Lord’s personal fortune.
Even more terrifyingly, the calamity energy began to influence the Red Spirit Demon Lord’s consciousness, disrupting his mental state!
The Taiyi Dao Fruit was desperately trying to purge the calamity energy, but the process was painfully slow. The thick calamity energy was slowly infiltrating into the Nascent Soul!
Vaguely, certain laws of spatial turbulence fluctuated alongside the calamity energy waves. Far away, certain events were changing, evolving in a direction unfavorable to the Red Spirit Demon Lord.
Sensing something was wrong, the Red Spirit Demon Lord immediately stopped his cultivation.
He opened his eyes and released his divine sense to examine his own condition.“What’s going on? Suddenly, I feel an overwhelming sense of impending disaster!” The Red Spirit Demon Lord’s expression turned grave.
“Am I cursed?”
He quickly reacted.
He flipped his palm and took out several mysterious talismans.
“Enveloping profound spirit, borrowing spiritual body, protect my soul’s sincerity!”
Murmuring quietly, four talismans hovered in midair and ignited.
Around him, after the talismans burned out, four blurry figures materialized.
The four radiated demonic light, swirling around him, forming a protective barrier!
Su Yuan watched beside him, amazed to find that the swarm of calamity energy rushing toward the Red Spirit Demon Lord had slowed down by ninety percent.
Of course, it was only a reduction in speed; the calamity energy was still pouring into the Demon Lord’s body, only delaying the arrival of the disaster.
In this way, the Red Spirit Demon Lord did feel somewhat relieved.
But his expression did not improve.
“This isn’t right! Could it be that the Great One secretly used some method?”
The Red Spirit Demon Lord was a bit flustered. This was a Great Luo Golden Immortal-level Grand Master. Compared to a Great Luo Golden Immortal, a Taiyi Golden Immortal was like an ant—exaggeration aside, it was entirely reasonable that he had no chance to fight back.
Without hesitation, the Red Spirit Demon Lord took out a Great Luo talisman and activated it.
After a moment, a drowsy voice emerged from the talisman.
“Red Spirit brat? How dare you contact me!”
“Soul Devouring Demon Emperor, I am willing to offer half of my soul’s power as a condition. I beg for your help to overcome this difficulty!”
“Oh? Hahaha!” A strange laugh echoed from the talisman.
“You are already late-stage Taiyi. What danger could possibly be worth such a price? Speak first!”
“Soul Devouring Lord, here’s the situation. I heard of a market where a large number of Golden Immortal artifacts and even medium-grade postnatal spiritual treasures appeared. There was only one early-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal there, so I decided to rob them. Unexpectedly, I hit a brick wall.”
“The opponent turned out to be a mid-to-late Great Luo Golden Immortal Grand Master. Two Taiyi Golden Immortals who had already revealed themselves in the market were also very strong. I was beaten up by those two Taiyi Golden Immortals on the spot and lost five medium-grade postnatal spiritual treasures as compensation. Only then was I spared by the Great Luo Golden Immortal. But now, far away from the scene, I suddenly feel uneasy, suspecting that Great Luo is still targeting me!”
The Red Spirit Demon Lord played back the recording of what happened, letting the Soul Devouring Demon Emperor on the other end see.
“Fool!” A voice came from the other side.
The Red Spirit Demon Lord asked doubtfully, “Could it be that the other party isn’t a Great Luo Golden Immortal?”
He actually sensed a trace of abnormality.
“I’m saying how stupid you are to offend a Great Luo Golden Immortal! This is obviously a mid-level Great Luo Golden Immortal. You still doubt it? I say you’re stupid, but you won’t believe it!”
The Red Spirit Demon Lord’s expression froze.
“This is a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal. I am at the same realm. You want me to be enemies with such a powerhouse? A mere late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal soul is not enough!”
“Demon Emperor, it’s not about being enemies, just protect me a little!” the Red Spirit Demon Lord said.
“That’s still not enough!”
A sharp glint flashed in the Red Spirit Demon Lord’s eyes as he said, “Then I will offer the souls of seven Taiyi Golden Immortals as the condition!”
The Soul Devouring Demon Emperor on the other side seemed startled by the Red Spirit Demon Lord’s words. Then he chuckled mockingly, “It seems you really are in trouble, daring to harm your own colleagues! Good, you have the potential to be a true demon lord! I will dispatch one main battle clone to protect you!”
The Red Spirit Demon Lord let out a huge sigh of relief, “Thank you, Demon Emperor!”
The Great Luo talisman’s light dimmed.
Su Yuan was left speechless watching from the side. His consciousness enveloped the entire warship, looking toward the seven Taiyi Golden Immortal demon cultivators. He indeed saw that these demon cultivators already had calamity energy inside their bodies. The black energy at their foreheads flickered, as if invoking some calamity to descend!
And this calamity would manifest according to certain laws. The nearest source of this calamity was the Red Spirit Demon Lord himself, who was trapped in calamity!
Terrifying!
Truly terrifying!
The operation of the calamity energy looked perfectly natural, extremely logical, and utterly unsolvable!
Those seven Taiyi Golden Immortal demon cultivators would never have thought that they would be targeted out of nowhere by a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal demon lord. This was practically impossible.
Su Yuan was very curious about how the calamity surrounding the Red Spirit Demon Lord would erupt.
His mind shifted, looking toward Xue Feng, the Immortal Lord.
When the calamity energy on the Red Spirit Demon Lord thickened to a certain extent, a new change also occurred on Xue Feng’s side.
Above the Void Roc.
At Xue Feng’s residence, a guest arrived.
“Cousin, what brings you here?” Xue Feng said in surprise.
Opposite Xue Feng sat a cold and proud woman, as cold as snow.
She glanced around his surroundings and said, “Just now, your uncle accidentally heard that you were sent to the frontline battlefield by the elders of your family. Your uncle was worried something might happen to you and insisted I come check. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come.”
Xue Feng was stunned and raised an eyebrow, “Uncle is such a busy man. I’ve never seen him care about my mother, let alone a junior like me.”
“He predicted that your life was in danger, so I had no choice but to come.”
Xue Feng’s expression changed, “Impossible! Am I really in mortal danger?”
“What are your plans now?”
“I intend to eliminate a late-stage Taiyi demon cultivator with whom I have old grudges. He just offended a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal and got punished. I got a compass from that Great Luo Golden Immortal that can lock onto the Taiyi demon cultivator. I will take advantage of his weakened state and finish him off!” Xue Feng said.
“A late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal? What’s his name?”
“Seven Stars Dao Sovereign!”
“Hm? Never heard of him! I have many acquaintances among immortals but have never heard of this existence,” the cold woman said.
Xue Feng looked at her impassive expression. It was hard to imagine such a woman having many friends.
“I heard he is the reincarnation of a Great Power!” Xue Feng added.
The woman’s gaze sharpened, “Tell me the details!”
Xue Feng immediately recounted Su Yuan’s experiences to her.
The cold woman tapped the table with her finger and then said slowly, “The Big Dipper once was indeed occupied by a peak Great Mixed-Origin Golden Immortal, but he was later slain and vanished from the river of time completely. Could he be that powerhouse?”
Upon hearing this, Xue Feng suddenly recalled a detail and said, “The person in charge of the Seven Stars Market is a Golden Immortal-level deity, but his divine seat is the Star God’s position. I didn’t think much of it before, but now it seems…”
The cold woman shook her head, “That matter can be researched later. You are going to kill that demon cultivator now? I will go with you. If you really are in mortal danger, I will intervene to resolve it!”
Xue Feng’s face lit up. His cousin was a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal Grand Master and a super divine beast—the Ice Crystal Qilin—with strength comparable to a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal. With her protection, this mission would be without accident!
Everything happening here was simultaneously received by Su Yuan.
He didn’t expect Xue Feng’s background to be so profound!
Who exactly was his so-called uncle? He even had a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal daughter!
His thought clone began gathering news within the Immortal Realm.
Many thought clones appeared inside various forces of the Immortal Realm.
Finally, he found traces within the [One Line Sky] faction.
Xue Feng was somewhat famous in the Immortal Realm because his uncle was an Immortal Emperor of the Celestial Court in the Immortal Realm.
Xue Feng’s mother was that Immortal Emperor’s sister but had married an ordinary immortal, which naturally was not supported by the family. Xue Feng had suffered invisible exclusion.
“Nothing new under the sun…”
Su Yuan muttered.
Then he began looking forward to how things would develop.
Just seven days later.
The Void Roc had already arrived ahead of the 618 warship’s path and had arranged a super anti-air formation within the spatial turbulence!
The moment the 618 warship passed by.
Instantly, the super anti-air formation activated!
The warship’s movement formation, which tried to activate again, immediately failed!
The Red Spirit Demon Lord was instantly awakened.
He appeared at the ship’s bow and saw the Void Roc charging toward him at high speed.
“So straightforward?”
“Open fire! Kill this idiot!”
The Red Spirit Demon Lord shouted loudly!
The warship’s front-end annihilation cannon began charging, then the powerful demonic cannon fired!
A strong shockwave locked onto the Void Roc, attacking it.
The Void Roc emitted a sharp bird call; the intense sonic attack transformed into a terrifying spatial storm, crashing forward. Both sides met and immediately fought with full force.
