Chapter 702 The Holy Fetus of the Demon Emperor

Chang Yuqing knew very well that Wenren Tinghai, being a junior, was not capable of making such a big decision; there must be a "master guiding" behind him.

From the moment Tai Sui Di Jun made his move, he carried a strong killing intent, intending to kill Li Weiyi.

It could be said that if Li Weiyi had reacted even a fraction of a second slower, his head would have been shattered by Tai Sui Di Jun's claw. In a battle between beings of the Great Longevity level, even if the older generation of powerful figures hiding in the shadows wanted to come to his rescue, it wouldn't always be in time.

And if Li Weiyi dies here...

How will Yu Yaozi react?

...

The cultivators from various habitats gathered near Qiaoshan were completely taken aback by how the situation had unfolded, causing a great uproar and heated discussions.

"I've personally witnessed the defensive power of the Blood Floating Demon Armor; it's comparable to a swastika-patterned treasure armor. Many transcendent beings don't even possess such defensive treasures; each one is priceless. And they're actually betting on five of them?"

"How many Blood Floating Demon Armors are there? The Demon Kingdom's royal family has a very deep foundation, accumulating countless divine treasures over 20,000 years of kingdom history."

"If it weren't for the special circumstances of this Longevity Competition, such a treasure would never have appeared in the hands of martial artists in the third or fourth stage of the Longevity Realm."

Wenren Tinghai and Tai Sui Dijun secretly discussed the matter via telepathy.

The latter's sharp eyes turned to Li Weiyi, a murderous intent surging within them, chillingly intense.

Mo Duanfeng was unaware of the grudges behind this battle, but he could see that Tai Sui Di Jun was different from the other demonic cultivators. When facing Li Weiyi, he did not bind his own hands and feet because of the "Life Spring Contest".

He quickly flew into the air and came to Li Weiyi's side, transmitting his voice: "Something is not right. Do not act rashly. It seems that Tai Sui Di Jun really wants to kill you. This matter is probably related to the internal strife of the Demon Realm. Someone wants to use this battle to kill you here and prevent the Grand Palace Master from taking out the Life Spring to participate in the Longevity Competition."

"Don't worry, if things really get dangerous, the Demon Kingdom will definitely have a transcendent being who will come to my rescue." Li Weiyi couldn't openly express his thoughts, so he explained it this way.

Mo Duanfeng said, "It involves five Blood Floating Demon Armors, so it will definitely be a life-or-death battle. Many times, there won't be enough time; life and death will be decided in an instant. I've learned my lesson from impulsiveness. Take my advice: that Tai Sui Earth Lord is not simple. I've heard the Inner Minister and my godfather mention him. They once planned to secretly eliminate him, but the operation ended in failure. Do you know what that means?"

Li Wei was deeply moved. Just how high must the level of the young demon cultivator be to allow the human race's transcendent nature and the Crown Prince to personally plan and eliminate him?

It is likely that some high-ranking members of the human race believe that Tai Sui Di Jun will pose a threat to the entire human race in the future.

This is incredibly valuable!

Unbeknownst to Li Wei, the reason the Heavenly Demon Queen sent Tai Sui Di Jun to kill him was because she had heard of his deeds and felt threatened. She never imagined that decades later, the Jiuli tribe would produce such a rapidly rising transcendent being. Even Yao Yin doesn't currently receive this treatment.

Mo Duanfeng said, "I reckon that this Tai Sui Di Jun is very likely the Holy Embryo of the Demon Emperor, having condensed the bloodline of the ancient immortal beast to 90% purity."

Among the demon race, the awakening of the bloodline of ancient immortal beasts can give birth to innate supernatural abilities, greatly enhancing their combat power and potential. This is equivalent to the level of top inheritors from millions of sects.

However, it was only an awakening; the bloodline of the ancient immortal beast within his body was less than one-tenth pure.

To condense the bloodline of an ancient immortal beast to ninety percent is not something that can be achieved simply by consuming its blood; it requires extremely high physical constitution, talent, and comprehension. In the boundless primordial demon plains, only one such person might emerge every countless years.

"So what if he has the Demon Emperor's Holy Embryo? He's still only at the fourth stage of the Longevity Realm."

Li Wei flew downwards and took out two Blood Floating Demon Armors, handing them to Lu Jingchen.

Nangong rushed over, worriedly saying, "That Tai Sui Di Jun seems to be quite extraordinary. Is war the only option?"

“Once a promise is made, there’s no going back,” Li Weiyi said with a forced nonchalance.

“Well said, worthy of being the successor of Yu Yaozi’s Daoist arts. The Earth Lord will not kill you today, but will break your limbs and inflict extreme trauma on your soul. What Zong Sheng Xue Hai could not do, we will do.”

Wenren Tinghai approached carrying five Blood Floating Demon Armors, intending to provoke Li Weiyi.

Li Weiyi raised his voice and said, "If Tai Sui Di Jun does not have the will and determination to kill me, he will surely die by my hand. Moreover, Brother Ting Hai, what makes you think he will listen to you?"

Wenren Tinghai frowned.

“Brother Tinghai, you are a pawn without realizing it. In today’s battle, whoever falls unexpectedly will bear the consequences.”

After saying this, Li Weiyi glanced at the distant Tai Sui Di Jun, and then looked around at the surrounding mountains, searching for the figures of the elders of the Chang family.

Ironically, the people who can most guarantee Li Weiyi's safety right now are Demon Lord Yu Baxian and the royalists.

"Swish! Swish..."

Several senior experts were summoned by Lu Jingchen from Xiaoyaojing to guard the Blood Floating Demon Armor and Ye Tianchen and Uncle Fang.

The "List of Places of Immortality" was commissioned by the high-ranking human race to Qianli Mountain for compilation, and it will be subject to strict supervision.

After the competition for immortality begins, each realm will assign some experts to oversee the fairness of the competition and severely punish those who break the rules.

The several senior experts who arrived at this moment included martial arts practitioners from Thousand Mile Mountain as well as observers who were fighting for immortality.

What is not publicly disclosed is that many of the inspectors are former members of the Sentinel Army, in order to ensure fairness and impartiality.

Tai Sui Di Jun stood atop Lady Shi Zhong's head, his eyes flashing with crimson and gold light respectively: "Do you know why I've come to participate in the Longevity Competition?"

"What you're doing here is none of my business. But your joining the Demon Kingdom's camp is my business. If we can eliminate an opponent beforehand, we'll have a better chance of winning the battle for immortality." Li Weiyi stood proudly with his sword in hand.

"You have more courage than I imagined."

Tai Sui Di Jun's figure transformed into a series of phantoms, instantly traversing a distance of a hundred feet, and unleashing a powerful burst of magical energy. The magical energy contained wisps of immortal energy, like crimson divine chains, slashing towards Li Weiyi.

No one expected that the two were so hostile, and that they would attack without warning.

It truly has an ethereal quality.

However, it was obtained from the remains of an ancient immortal beast, and its power is vastly different from the immortal energy cultivated when the immortal was alive. A large amount of its power has been lost, and it cannot be compared with the original.

Such power is often used to refine, absorb, dilute, and transform.

In the Longevity Realm, directly mobilizing and utilizing immortal energy is an astonishing feat. Every move can transform the rotten into the miraculous, and the power of Taoist arts and magical artifacts will increase dramatically.

"Whoosh!"

Li Wei swung his sword, cleaving through the crimson celestial aura and leaving a long sword path on the ground.

A fierce wind howled in, and Tai Sui Di Jun closed to within three steps of him, his arm like an iron chain and mountain range, with immense force, sweeping towards Li Weiyi.

Li Weiyi met the attack with his left arm, their bodies colliding head-on.

"Bang!"

The radiant light and immortal energy trembled and exploded, sending Li Weiyi flying to the right, his left arm briefly losing sensation from the pain. The opponent's physical strength was even greater than he had anticipated.

Is it truly the Holy Embryo of the Demon Emperor?

Within the Divine Palace, liquid magical energy rapidly circulated throughout his body, and the pain in his left arm disappeared.

It was restored to its original state in an instant.

"Don't engage him physically! The strongest part of a demon beast whose bloodline has awakened is its physical body. Don't be fooled by his current human form; his body is as large as a mountain, all condensed into a nine-foot-tall human form!" Mo Duanfeng roared.

"Aww!"

Li Weiyi stepped on the yellow dragon's light and shadow, soared into the sky, passed through the clouds, and appeared hundreds of feet in the air.

"Where are you going?"

Tai Sui Di Jun caught up at a speed no slower than "Huang Long Deng Tian", but always remained below Li Weiyi.

Suddenly, Li Weiyi turned around and unleashed a sword strike that seemed to split the heavens and earth.

Tai Sui Di Jun was by no means an arrogant person. He had already studied his opponent. Facing the fundamental martial arts sword techniques of Huanglong Sword and Kaihai Li Pi, he was on high alert. He struck out a large number of demonic runes with his palm, which condensed into crimson clouds together with immortal energy.

"Boom!"

The long river-like sword energy unleashed by Li Weiyi parted the clouds.

However, it was blocked by the Tai Sui Earth Lord below the clouds with his palm.

His palms were covered with a layer of mysterious light, not skin, but a kind of Taoist technique, with astonishing defensive power.

"The Demon Clan's Imperial Technique, the Primal Black Robe. When activated with immortal energy, this technique boasts such formidable defensive power that even martial artists of the same realm would find it difficult to break through its defenses while standing still." Lu Jingchen, being extremely knowledgeable, explained the origin of this technique.

Nangong said, "Ordinary martial artists of the same realm cannot do this, but how could Li Weiyi be an ordinary person? The Yellow Dragon Sword is specially designed to destroy demons and evil spirits."

"Bang! Bang..."

The two figures in mid-air moved at incredible speed, traversing the mountains with sword strikes and palm strikes, the energy ripples from their clashing magical energies constantly impacting the ground.

Suddenly, Tai Sui Di Jun roared "Mountain Moving Technique," and actually moved the top of a stone peak away, smashing it towards Li Weiyi, who was fleeing in front of him.

Even a small section of the stone peak weighed immeasurably heavy, its imposing presence overwhelming. Li Weiyi turned to look, and his entire field of vision was filled with it, as if a star were falling, about to crush him into a bloody pulp.

Li Wei unleashed a palm strike that created a heaven-shaking palm print.

Unable to resist.

The body plummeted rapidly.

After landing on the ground, Li Weiyi uttered the word "forward," and his entire body flashed with spiritual light as he evaded the attack.

"Boom!"

The stone peak crashed to the ground, the river was blocked, ancient trees broke one by one, the mountains shook, and it was as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had caved in.

Seeing this scene, countless martial artists at the Longevity Realm were stunned.

"Severing mountain peaks, moving and smashing them down—is this still the power of a fourth-realm martial artist?"

"I am certain that the Grand Duke of Tai Sui is the Holy Embryo of the Demon Emperor."

"Only someone of Li Weiyi's caliber can exchange blows with him. If it were any other fourth-realm expert, even a disciple of the Emperor, they would probably have been killed."

A senior disciple of the Yizong Sect, who was at the fourth realm, shook his head slightly: "This is nothing. I think the two of them are still warming up. The real life-or-death battle has not yet begun. Li Weiyi is very strong. The magical energy he has cultivated is not simple. It can block the immortal energy. If it were us, we would have been defeated long ago... It's a pity that he has not reached the peak of the fourth realm. The gap is obvious."

"Inamiya Masashi has arrived!"

When the news reached Xiaoyao Capital, even more martial arts practitioners came to investigate.

The strongest members of the five major palaces appeared one after another, arriving at the Inami Palace the fastest.

Among them, Inamiya Shinden is the most eye-catching. She is legendary and very mysterious. She is said to be the new body of the Inami Mother, who once caused the deaths of tens of millions of people in the Lingxiao Realm. Behind her is the support of the Jiang Clan.

Even with a veil, her ethereal beauty remained undiminished, and the fragrance emanating from her filled the vast snowfield, inspiring even more fantasies.

Wu Hongling and the woman in purple accompanied her, their eyes fixed on the distant battlefield, deeply shaken.

No one understood better than them how terrifyingly fast Li Weiyi was growing.

"If you're not determined to fight to the death, why have you been running away? Your master is ranked behind my master among the crown princes, so you're destined to be no match for me."

Tai Sui Di Jun discovered that Li Weiyi's movements were unpredictable; he stepped on green smoke, accompanied by the chirping of cicadas, which altered the rhythm of heaven and earth.

"Sizzle!"

His eyes, one gold and one red, intertwined with bright rays of light, shooting out two beams of light.

The beam of light was incredibly powerful. When it struck the ground, it destroyed everything in its path. Grass and trees turned to ashes, rocks melted into liquid, and the earth was cleaved in two.

The sky filled with the chirping of cicadas and the hazy blue mist was shattered by two beams of light.

This was the first time that Li Weiyi's Qingxu Danchan Step technique had been broken by external force.
