Chapter 194 World Eight [8]

The advice from the seniors was very useful. Jing Ke and Huo Yi became much more restrained in their behavior on the front battlefield and no longer rushed into the demons shouting for fighting and killing.

However, it is not so easy to fight against the high-level demons, because the demon masters are either killed or seriously injured and recuperating, and the demons who basically lead the team are only at the peak of the celestial immortal level.

After waiting for another month, Jing Ke and Huo Yi finally got an opportunity.

You don't have to follow most of the rules on the battlefield, but there is one rule that is an unspoken rule that is followed countless times in the battles between gods and demons.

That is, the top combat forces have their own separate battlefields. For example, the gods cannot wantonly slaughter the demons with low cultivation levels.

On the other hand, when the demons were causing trouble, they did not send out elders or masters to wantonly slaughter monks of low cultivation.

The demons who previously injured one thousand enemies and lost eight hundred of their own were basically all demons with the cultivation level of upper immortals. There were less than one-tenth of them with the cultivation level of celestial immortals, and there were no demons with the cultivation level of golden immortals who were directly involved.

So far, both sides have been abiding by this rule. This has led to many demons being surprised when Jing Ke and Huo Yi appeared on the battlefield of top combat power.

The demons were not worried about Jing Ke and Huo Yi, but subconsciously suspected that there might be spies among them who leaked the plan they had just made.

Just last night, the high-level demons specially arranged for a demon with the cultivation level of Golden Immortal to swallow a potion that concealed his cultivation level, waiting to attack Jing Ke and Huo Yi during the melee today.

But what's going on now? Why did they suddenly change places and become the top team from the vanguard team?

The demon elder did not act rashly, but secretly sent the message back as quickly as possible.

The goal decided at the beginning cannot be changed. In the end, the demon seed must be planted in Shichen's body, but the process can be modified appropriately.

The human race had tacitly approved the two's presence, meaning any demon present could attack them. The plan now was simply to shift from a covert attack to a more overt one.

The demon elder's calculations were very clear. He was one of the supporters of the third successor, and his purpose in this trip was only one, which was to successfully plant the demon seeds in Jing Ke and Huo Yi.

"Be careful. The cultivation level of that demon elder is at the peak of Golden Immortal. You are not his match for now, so don't confront them." After thinking about the performance of the two a month ago, Danqing was still a little worried.

Jing Ke and Huo Yi didn't want to be lectured again, so they immediately showed a well-behaved expression, repeatedly assuring that they would not underestimate the enemy or be overconfident, and would fight if they could, and run away if they couldn't, and would never show off their strength.

After the two sides were deadlocked for about an hour, a demon general with poor patience took the first step. Soon, a monk who focused on attacking and killing also came out to fight with a spear in hand.

Soon, the second, third, and remaining demons also began to take action.

Jing Ke and Huo Yi faced two demons whose appearance and skills were very similar, and they were most likely brothers.

With exquisite coordination, the two demons with tacit understanding showed a combat effectiveness that was greater than the sum of their parts. The two mid-stage Golden Immortals combined could almost exert the strength of a late-stage Golden Immortal.

However, Jing Ke and Huo Yi, who are completely in tune with each other, are just as good as each other. They can cooperate with each other in perfect harmony, so can't they replicate or even surpass them?

So, on a higher level battlefield, there appeared a scene where the peak-level Celestial Immortal cultivators and the mid-stage Golden Immortal demons were fighting back and forth with equal results. It was a jaw-dropping scene.

The demons felt a bit embarrassed after failing to defeat someone whose cultivation was far lower than theirs. After all, it wasn't just the human cultivators who cared about battle results and casualties; the demons also cared about their own clansmen's performance. Losing would be very shameful!

Fortunately, the two demons did not forget their purpose. They used a flaw that almost cost them their lives to successfully narrow the distance between the two sides, and launched the attack containing the demon seeds on Jing Ke and Huo Yi.

However, the final outcome made the two demons feel a little regretful. They were not able to leave with serious injuries after completing the mission, but were directly killed by Jing Ke and Huo Yi, two people who were only a little bit away from upgrading.

With the entry of the demon species, vast thunderclouds rolled and appeared in the gray sky.

After filling up the last section of the experience bar, Jing Ke and Huo Yi broke through together.

The thunder tribulation had a certain degree of suppression on the demons. Seeing that his goal had been achieved, the demon elders chose to retreat without hesitation. The other demons with low cultivation also received the same order at the first time.

This time, Jing Ke and Huo Yi underwent the body-tempering thunder tribulation together. No one could see the specific situation, but they all counted it clearly. The two of them each endured forty-nine thunder tribulations and successfully advanced to the Golden Immortal.

After seeing the gentle rain falling, which represented the end of the thunder tribulation, Danqing, who had been worried, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It was a close call, a close call.

Just when Danqing was thinking about giving Jing Ke and Huo Yi something as a gift, Jing Ke and Huo Yi, who should have been full of spiritual power, suddenly spit out blood from their mouths and fell to the ground as if they could not hold on any longer.

"What's going on? Is someone attacking us?" The confused monk immediately became alert.

Danqing's heart instantly rose, and he teleported in front of the two people with a stern face.

"What happened? Are the demons plotting something?" Danqing activated the defensive formation immediately, alert for attacks from the dark.

"It's not a sneak attack, it's a demon seed. We've been infested with demon seeds." Jing Ke said with all her might, "Senior, please lock up our spiritual energy and prevent the demon seed from spreading."

After hearing the word "demon seed", Danqing's face turned pale instantly. He sealed the spiritual power in the meridians of the two people as quickly as possible, and then took them away one by one with one hand.

-

"Elder, was this successful?" asked the demon who was hiding in the dark and observing the situation with the help of a magic weapon.

"God is really helping me. The thunder tribulation of promotion directly activated the demon species, allowing them to enter the growth stage directly." The demon elder couldn't help laughing.

If this wasn't God's blessing on the Demon Race, what was it? A second ago, the Demon Race was still worried that the sudden emergence of two genius cultivators from the Human Race would make it impossible for the Demon Race, which was already at a disadvantage, to recover.

But what about now? They had unexpectedly been implanted with the highest level of demon seeds before becoming Golden Immortal cultivators.

These can not only easily help the demons eliminate future troubles, but may also bring down the God of Time.

"Elder, will the thunder tribulation affect the effectiveness of the demon species?" The lower-level demons were a little worried.

"If it were an ordinary demon seed, it would indeed be affected by the heavenly thunder. However, that demon seed was cultivated by Your Highness using his own flesh and blood. It is an existence that can control the Supreme God. How could it be affected by the ordinary thunder tribulation of promotion?"

The demon elder was extremely happy and he couldn't wait to share the news with his chosen heir, heir number three.

"Thank you, Uncle Li, for your help." The third heir did not expect that his plan would have any extra benefits. Not only did he eliminate two future troubles, he could also deal a heavy blow to Shichen.

"Your Highness, it's all thanks to your foresight and planning, otherwise we wouldn't have achieved so many goals at once." The demon elder was very happy. "Your Highness, should we slow down our actions and wait for Shi Chen to take the bait?"

"No, let's stick to our previous plan and pretend we haven't heard anything. If the human cultivators become aggressive, we'll continue to lure them deeper into our territory as planned. If the human race takes the opportunity to rest, we'll attempt an offensive."

The third heir said, "Shichen is a very perceptive person. We must not let her discover that the demon species is actually targeting her. It is worth sacrificing some of our clansmen for this."

Upon seeing this, the demon elder said no more and said that he would keep an eye on the news from the human race. Once the God of Time took the bait, they would immediately cooperate and give these so-called upper realm troops a head-on blow.

-

On the other hand, only the Golden Immortal cultivators noticed the changes that took place in Jing Ke and Huo Yi. As for those who knew that they were implanted with demon seeds, there were even fewer people, no more than twenty in total.

Danqing actually regarded Jing Ke and Huo Yi as her junior sisters in her heart. When she rescued them, her face was frighteningly dark.

If Jing Ke and Huo Yi didn't still need her care, she might have drawn her sword and rushed over to take revenge on the spot.

Just as Danqing carefully placed the two people on his bed, Jing Ke and Huo Yi, who had already fainted on the road, started coughing one after another.

Danqing was worried and wanted to check the injuries of the two people. Then she saw Jing Ke slowly open his eyes with a hint of guilt in his eyes.

"Senior, I'm sorry. We deceived you just now." Huo Yi said as he opened his eyes.

"What?" Danqing frowned, not understanding what Huo Yi wanted to express.

"Senior, we were planted with demon seeds, but we stripped them out when we were going through the thunder tribulation." Jing Ke said. In order to increase the credibility of his words, he also took out the demon seeds that had been sealed by the thunder tribulation.

The story actually begins when the two of them suffered their first thunder tribulation.

When the demon seed was first implanted, Jing Ke and Huo Yi did not notice anything wrong. They just thought that they had been attacked by the demons, so there was some demonic energy left in their bodies.

But thunder tribulations can represent the way of heaven, that is, world consciousness, to a certain extent.

The world consciousness discovered something wrong when it was using thunder tribulations to help them temper their bodies. After a brief discussion, the two sides used the remaining forty-eight thunder tribulations. At the cost of the two of them enduring relative pain and thoroughly tempering their bodies, they successfully separated the demon seeds from their bodies.

"We have fought against the demons before. These two demon species give us a very different feeling. They seem to be in a weak larval stage. We only need to give them some nutrients to become more powerful." Jing Ke continued.

Danqing didn't know whether he should breathe a sigh of relief and praise the two for making the right decision in a critical moment, or criticize them for not being careful enough and being successfully ambushed by the demons.

"According to you, these two demon seeds are not coming for you?" Danqing suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and focused on the most important thing at hand.

"That's right. We have just demonstrated our extraordinary fighting power to the demons today. Unless the demons have the ability to predict the future, there is no reason for them to plant demon seeds in us. It's too unprofitable." Jing Ke nodded.

"I am more inclined to believe that the demons want to use our bodies as nutrients to cultivate two demon seeds. When they become powerful, they will use some means to transfer the demon seeds to you, senior, thereby affecting the situation of you or the God of Time." Huo Yi boldly speculated.

Danqing has helped her master manage all matters big and small for tens of thousands of years. After hearing some of Jing Ke and Huo Yi's speculations, many thoughts flashed through her mind.

"It's unlikely that they're targeting me. My presence or absence won't affect the outcome of this battle. But if the person affected is Master..." Dan Qing slowed down his speech, his gaze falling on the demon species controlled by Jing Ke and Huo Yi.

"Do you want to take advantage of the situation?" Danqing asked.

Jing Ke nodded, not surprised that Danqing guessed their thoughts so quickly. "I think we can also lure the enemy deeper, but we need the cooperation of the gods."

Communication between smart people is so simple. It does not require overly complicated explanations. It is enough to just point out the key points.

-

After seeing the two demon seeds brought by her apprentice and fellow Taoist, the Goddess of Time began to think, then she cleared her mind and looked at Danqing.

"Danqing, what do you think?" Shi Chen asked.

Danqing's face was calm as usual. "It should be a trap set by you, Master. Jing Ke and Huo Yi are actually Master's disciples, and on the surface they are still Master's subordinates. If anything happens to them, Master will definitely take action."

"If I were to take advantage of the situation like this, what should I do?" Shichen's brain worked well, but she was used to giving up thinking in front of Danqing.

"They think that Master can bear with it for a while and pretend to be affected, and then locate the lair of the demon clan and directly..." Danqing repeated the ideas proposed by Jing Ke and Huo Yi in full.

The more Shi Chen listened, the more feasible it seemed. If the high-level demon forces could be wiped out directly, the other cultivators could leave here triumphantly ahead of time.

"Danqing, do you think it's feasible?" Shi Chen asked.

Dan Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "Reject Jing Ke and Huo Yi's plan to go deep into the enemy's heart together. The rest will not be difficult as long as a few of the Supreme Gods are willing to cooperate."

Danqing was very clear about the strength of his master. As long as the location of the demon lair was found, his master could wipe out all the high-level combat forces alone.

There is no way, this is the strength of the strongest person in the upper realm.

Even the God of the World can fight two people who are weaker than his master at once. Can't the master fight three people at once and defeat a few ugly guys?

"Okay, then I'll discuss it with Guiyue and Bixia. If there's no problem, I won't show up next month." Shi Chen trusted his first disciple's judgment very much.

If Danqing says it’s okay, then it’s definitely okay.

Apart from giving up thinking in front of his first disciple, Shi Chen's image in front of other gods is still extremely reliable.

After hearing that this risky idea was proposed by Shi Chen himself, the other gods did not object.

After all, staying here for one more day would consume tens of thousands more spirit crystals, and ending the battle early would only bring them benefits.

-

The third heir had always thought that his plan was perfect, so when he sensed that he could subtly influence the thinking of the God of Time, he was not surprised at all. Instead, he felt that things should go even more smoothly.

However, the third heir did not take action immediately. Instead, he patiently observed for a while until he found that Shi Chen had almost escaped his influence several times. Only then did he make up his mind.

"Completely controlling Time requires replenishing it with high-quality demon seeds, which I can't do yet. But preventing her from fighting is easy for me," the third heir publicly stated. "We can publicly claim that the God of Time is prone to demonic depravity. This will disrupt the enemy's morale and catalyze the further growth of the demon seeds."

Most of the demons had long been fed up with being suppressed and beaten, and now they became instantly excited after hearing that the enemy commander had lost his combat ability.

"Among those people, only Shichen is strong. If she's gone, the rest are nothing to be feared. Let's concentrate our forces and capture Shichen alive!"

"I agree! I've wanted to fight them for a long time. We demons have millions of elite soldiers. There's no need to suffer such grievances!"

"Kill them! Kill those ungrateful monks!"

The demons' hatred and dissatisfaction towards the monks did not need to be incited. The third heir mobilized all the demons with just a few words.

The prestige of the third heir is much higher than that of the other two heirs, so under the command of the third heir, the high-level demons came out in full force.

There are four veteran demons with the cultivation level of supreme gods, plus three heirs who have been promoted to supreme gods thousands of years ago. There are a total of seven top combat forces on the demon side.

The demon clan's current plan is also easy to guess. Among the seven of them, two will stay in the rear, and the other five will go together to surround and kill Shichen's direct disciples, and capture Shichen alive.

Once this plan succeeds, the attacking and defending sides will immediately switch sides, and those who are suppressed will soon become the so-called million-strong upper-realm army.

There is nothing wrong with the tactics given by the third heir. As long as Shi Chen is really caught, he has a 99% chance of success.

But if Shichen hadn't been hit, there would have been a ninety-nine percent chance that his tactics would have failed.

-

When the battle between gods and demons was at its most intense, Jing Ke and Huo Yi were forced to lie down inside the spirit ship.

Danqing refuted their idea of ​​wanting to participate in the action together, and the reasons they gave were very reasonable.

That is, Jing Ke and Huo Yi have obviously become food for the demons. If they act arbitrarily, they will most likely be discovered by the spies planted by the demons among the monks, causing the entire combat plan to fail.

Jing Ke and Huo Yi couldn't think of a more powerful rebuttal to such a well-reasoned and well-founded argument. They could only obey Danqing's wishes and lie down here with peace of mind.

"Jing Ke, after the war between gods and demons is over, it's time for us to show our cards, right?" Huo Yi leaned back in the recliner and watched the situation on the front battlefield remotely through the magic weapon.

"Well, the rules are completely inextricable. I've confirmed with the world consciousness that the body he left in this world contains one-third of his essence."

Jing Ke repeated the battle plan they had agreed upon. "After the gods defeat the rules, we can follow this part of the origin to defeat the rules. Then, we will use the origin of the rules and the power he stole as the core to replace your body."

"Then what? Will we continue as usual?" Huo Yi asked.

"Well, if we want the Supreme God to take action, we must tell them the whole story." Jing Ke paused and said, "The power of the Supreme God can actually influence the world's consciousness, so I think..."

Jing Ke didn't say the rest of the words. She chose to look at her partner.

Huo Yi turned around as if he sensed something, and their eyes met in the air, and then they showed very similar smiles.

These gods are very responsible, and their lifespans are extremely long.

It is enough for a world to have one such stabilizer. As for the extra ones, it is better to let them continue to shine where they are needed!

-

Shi Chen, who had no idea that she was being targeted, successfully used herself as bait to attract five top demon masters. When she violently destroyed the demon species and made an heir vomit blood, Gui Yue and Wu Ya, who had been lying in ambush nearby, also jumped out and joined the battle.

That’s right, Wu Ya, who was supposed to be recuperating from his injuries, also came over.

Wu Ya was a competitive person by nature. When he heard that Shi Chen was about to defeat the demons, he rushed over without stopping and just happened to encounter this last and most crucial battle.

Wu Ya's injuries had not healed completely, but with only one-seventh of his previous strength, he had no problem dealing with the remaining monsters, and he was able to hold back the strongest demon elder among the five.

Gui Yue fought one against two, relying on his superb magic and the formation given to him by his Taoist partner for free, and fought back and forth with the two demon elders who were fellow practitioners.

As for Shi Chen, her opponents are Heir No. 1 and Heir No. 2. Their cultivation is much weaker than Shi Chen's, but they have many different kinds of magic weapons in their hands.

So it took Shichen a full half day to kill the two men one after another.

After the time was over, the strong-willed Wu Ya successfully defeated his opponent despite being injured.

Gui Yue was not willing to be outdone, so he used a formation to trap one of them, and also dealt with the two weaker demon elders one after another.

As for the remaining third heir and the last demon elder with the cultivation level of a supreme god, they have probably been besieged by several other supreme gods and are out of breath.

In this way, under the leadership of the God of Time, it took a total of three years to wipe out all the demons with the cultivation level of Gods and Golden Immortals in the demon territory. The demons that ran away were all small fish and shrimps, ensuring peace in the upper realm for at least three thousand years in the future.

The upper realm did not ignore the demons who fled to the lower realm during the chaos. Chen Zhou, Hongxiu, Zhuo Shu and others who were sent to the lower realm to study hard joined forces with the local sects in the lower realm and successfully dealt with the fleeing demons.

It is estimated that no powerful figures will emerge from the demon clan in the lower world for at least five hundred years.

-

"I have wanted to meet you for a long time, but I didn't expect it to come to this now." After returning triumphantly, the God of Time chose to take the initiative to visit the two people who were once his students.

Jing Ke and Huo Yi stood up to greet him. "If the God wants to meet with us, just tell him to. We're quite free lately."

"Are you sorry for not participating in the final battle?" Shi Chen raised her eyebrows slightly, realizing that the two people in front of her were more complicated than she had expected.

If he was not mistaken, the pressure from the Supreme God that was powerful to other cultivators seemed to have no effect on Jing Ke and Huo Yi.
