Starting with a Wasted Spiritual Root to Embark on Demonic Cultivation

On the day of his spiritual root test, he was found to possess a fifth-grade root. In this lifetime, it would be nearly impossible to break through the Mid Qi Refining stage.

The immortal sec...

Chapter 422 Frosty Moon Across the Sky!

Chapter 422 Frosty Moon Across the Sky!

Within the Netherworld shrouded by the Gates of Hell, the temperature was already extremely low. With a thought from Wang Yu, an endless cold wave spread outwards from him.

Frost condensed on the ground at a visible speed, and icicles rose from the ground, quickly creating a battlefield most suitable for him to unleash his ice magic.

In the past, this task belonged to Xueyu, but now, with the support of a massive amount of demonic energy, it has formed an ice field in the blink of an eye.

The extreme cold storm that swept up from high above forced the three thousand Foundation Establishment disciples of the Sword Sect to put down their flying swords and land on the ground, because it was just too cold up there, the kind of cold that's unbearable!

The Eight Trigrams Master looked solemn.

"Three Nascent Soul cultivators, judging from their posture, come from the Cold Blood Peak, Barbarian Ghost Peak, and Fierce Darkness Peak of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect. The disciples of the Eight Trigrams Peak are following me to form a strange sword formation."

This move was intended to allow the disciples to protect themselves. Once the chaotic battle broke out, not to mention Foundation Establishment cultivators, even the eighteen Core Formation cultivators would be at risk of being killed by the aftershocks.

Hundreds of Qimen sword cultivators acted in unison.

The eight trigrams—Xun, Zhen, Kan, Li, Dui—formed a golden sword array that rapidly expanded, blocking the incoming cold current.

Unfortunately, the difference in their cultivation levels was too great. Even without using their full power, the ordinary spells they used caused them great discomfort, and their faces turned pale at a visible speed.

With a flick of his sleeve, Master Bagua unleashed a fiery sword that released immense heat, helping his disciples mitigate the effects of the cold current.

The Demon King snorted coldly.

The little giant, standing over three meters tall, moved so fast that his afterimages were barely visible. With a push of his arms, six dark fist imprints crashed down, aimed directly at the Eight Trigrams Master.

It is the Six Styles of the Demonic Fist, one of his signature techniques!

The moment the battle began, the support revealed their trump card, showing that they intended to eliminate them all.

Upon seeing this, the old patriarch in hemp clothing suddenly drew the iron sword he was carrying.

One of the most commonly used techniques by sword cultivators is the Greatsword Technique, which, imbued with sharp sword energy, instantly transforms into a hundred-foot-long giant sword and slashes down at the Demon Barbarian King.

At that time.

The Yin Beast, the Nether Tiger, merged into the Nether Tiger Demon Lord's body, transforming him into a tiger-headed, half-beast man wielding a black mace, which he then swung at the Demon Lord's head.

The giant sword was forcibly shattered into countless fragments, unleashing a storm and an even stronger chill.

Ancestor Ma Yi's expression changed drastically: "Mid-stage Nascent Soul?!"

The most troublesome aspect of Yin Beast Dao cultivators is their ability to briefly merge with their natal Yin Beast, achieving a harmonious connection of energy and life force.

The techniques are all extremely well-integrated, and this fusion is the trump card, enough to allow the Nether Tiger Demon Lord to briefly stand at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, making his combat ability incomparably powerful.

Nearly five hundred years have passed since the last great war between good and evil.

For those Nascent Soul cultivators who rarely take action and who have advanced to the Nascent Soul stage during this period, information is extremely scarce, far less than their understanding and fear of those great cultivators.

In this respect, Wang Yu is the same as the two Nascent Soul cultivators of the Sword Sect.

It highlights someone who is completely in the dark.

As for how the Demon Lord knew about the Sword Sect, that's another matter. Spying on spies is a common tactic in the struggles between different factions.

The two Nascent Soul cultivators flew high into the sky to fight, and the intense roar was confined to the area covered by the Gate of Hell, making it a fierce battle for cultivators with low cultivation levels.

Fifty-four black-robed demonic cultivators gathered behind Wang Yu.

Black ice condensed into a long spear in his hand. As the Silver Blood Divine Power was activated, the power field transformed into a sharp drill, covering the black ice spear.

—Raise your arm and shoot!

Boom!!!

With a loud bang, smoke and dust mixed with ice shards exploded.

The strange sword formation, led by the Eight Trigrams Master's Li character sword, was shattered like paper, and the hundreds of Foundation Establishment stage strange sword cultivators were instantly blown into blood mist.

The more than two thousand people protected by the Qimen Sword Formation also vomited blood repeatedly. Those who were close by died beyond death, while those who were a little further away barely survived.

Wang Yu shook his head, somewhat dissatisfied with his own efficiency.

"Slaughter them all."

At a command, fifty-four elite demonic cultivators, along with two Foundation Establishment cultivators and a bewildered snow fox, charged forward like hungry wolves unleashed from their cages.

In an instant, an overwhelming force was formed. Although the potential of various demonic magic weapons may be a bit lacking, in terms of killing power alone, they are no less than sword cultivators, and even have a more unpredictable flavor.

Wang Yu's gaze lingered on the eighteen Core Formation cultivators. These Sword Sect cultivators all came from the Righteous Qi Academy, and their skills were related.

Among them, the slender woman in the moon-white gauze dress was the most eye-catching. Her figure was sexy and hot, and her temperament, like an ice queen, contrasted sharply with her vulgar body.

Even in dire circumstances, one can maintain a calm mind.

"Fellow disciples, let me take the lead and unleash the Eighteen Sword Shadows Dragon-Fighting Formation!"

There's no escaping it, no way to escape it.

This is their last hope, and if someone is willing to step up and shoulder the main pressure, others will not falter or hold them back.

"This is the only way."

"Junior Sister Moonlight, it's up to you now."

Eighteen figures quickly took their positions, and under the surge of magical power, chain-like array patterns spread beneath their feet, rapidly forming a giant array diagram.

The Moon Fairy Changxi, positioned in the center, emitted a dazzling golden light from her body and boldly slashed at Wang Yu with her sword.

The platinum-gold crescent-shaped sword energy appeared to be indestructible.

However, Wang Yu casually flicked his sleeve and scattered it. With a stomp of his foot, he transformed into a beam of aurora and suddenly appeared in front of Chang Xi, reaching out to touch her smooth and delicate profile.

Wang Yu gazed intently and said, "Changxi, it's been a long time."

The icy beauty's pupils contracted. She didn't care about being harassed; instead, she stared at Wang Yu in utter shock, her clear, cold voice becoming somewhat shrill.

"This is impossible...this is impossible, it's clearly..."

“When we last met, I was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, while you were already at the peak of Foundation Establishment.”

Wang Yu's answer was exactly the same as what Changxi wanted to say.

And this happened in less than two hundred years.

Her aptitude is actually quite good; she ranks high among the 1,008 practitioners in the Righteous Qi Academy and has a good chance of reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

but.

The most talented members of the Void Heaven Sword Sect are always the twelve sword disciples who personally teach them. The top three can even become disciples of a Nascent Soul Venerable. Wang Yu is far superior to the twelve sword disciples.

His innate demonic body gave him the aptitude to reach the level of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Changxi's changing expression filled Wang Yu with satisfaction.

In this life, besides spiritual cultivation, one should not miss out on beautiful scenery and delicious food, but the most enjoyable thing is to show off.

To perform a heroic act in front of others, you need connections!

"Senior sister, don't fall for the demon's illusion."

"Dragon-Binding Lock, activate!"

The chain-like array suddenly began to rotate, transforming into long, golden chains that attempted to bind Wang Yu.

Wang Yu merely had a fleeting thought about this.

The Ice Chain Binding Spell, empowered by demonic energy, was activated, and millions of black ice chains reversed and entangled him. The small formation of only eighteen Core Formation cultivators was no match for him at all.

The difference between Core Formation and Nascent Soul is like heaven and earth.

There has never been a precedent of someone defeating someone of a higher level throughout history, so how could he become a disgrace to someone of the same level?

He was determined to return the psychological trauma that Changxi had inflicted on him back then.

The Ice Chain Binding Spell reversed its influence, and the domineering extreme cold power almost froze their magic power. The sharp sword light emanating from their natal swords couldn't even cut through the black ice chains.

Wang Yu's extreme cold aura has been enhanced many times: perfecting his cultivation techniques, absorbing the power of strange and cold places, improving with rare and precious materials, and being empowered by demonic energy... These are all part of his foundation in the ice path.

Even the Lord of Cold Blood Mountain is not as strong as his extreme cold power. This is all due to the opportunities he has encountered. Each time he perfects his ice cultivation technique, it is as if he has reached a divine realm.

Its simplest effect is to purify his demonic energy and enhance his coldness, which over time naturally forms a power similar to the extreme cold of heaven and earth.

Just like the Ice Dragon Flame, a powerful spirit flame is simply powerful!

The extreme cold spread very quickly.

That damned Eighteen Sword Shadows Dragon Binding Formation shattered completely in just a few breaths.

Apart from Changxi, the life force of the seventeen Sword Sect practitioners was as weak as that of ants; they were completely extinguished with a gentle breath.

Not far away, the demonic cultivators cackled and slaughtered the Sword Sect disciples. They sucked their blood and extracted their souls; even the corpses were excellent materials. In the hands of the demonic cultivators, people were equivalent to spiritual materials.

Every bone has its place, highlighting the importance of diligence and thrift in managing a household.

"--No!"

With the battle situation below initially settled, Wang Yu, seeing Chang Xi's face filled with despair, took her into the Glazed Ice Heart Tower to suppress her; he still had a use for this woman.

Only then did they have the mind to look up at the wailing and weeping people in the sky.

"Master Bagua..."

Wang Yu narrowed his eyes and waved his hand to create an ice prison that enveloped the demonic cultivators who were fighting. This move was both a restriction and a protection; he was about to unleash his ultimate move!

It seems that neither the Demon Lord of the Netherworld nor the Demon Lord of the Underworld Tiger went all out. The former mainly engaged in a prolonged battle with the Eight Trigrams Master, preventing him from interfering with Wang Yu.

Although the latter was overwhelming the old patriarch in a beating, and had given him a terrible beating, a closer look would reveal that while he had lost a lot of blood, he had not suffered any fatal wounds.

What a waste of the Heavenly Lock he secretly set up.

Although Nascent Soul cultivators are difficult to kill, as long as their teleportation techniques are sealed, he believes he has a high chance of killing them.

The next moment.

Wang Yu suddenly appeared behind the Eight Trigrams Master, and a beam of icy divine light shot out. He rarely used this divine power, but that didn't mean it wasn't strong.

I didn't use it before because my cultivation level wasn't high enough. Even after I reached perfection, I used it less often because I hadn't grasped the essence of the Dharma. It's generally not very effective for great cultivators.

However, if it is used against an opponent of the same level, its power is still very strong.

The speed of light is so fast that ordinary people can't even react to it, let alone Wang Yu, who deliberately closed the distance.

This was the signature divine ability of the Ice Soul Immortal.

When Wang Yu unleashed his power, he reached an extreme level. With a sweep of the icy blue beam, the Bagua Sword, which was surrounded by wind, thunder, earth, and various spiritual powers, was instantly covered in frost.

It was directly cut off from its owner.

It plummeted toward the ground.

Seeing his old friend in dire straits, the old man in hemp clothing, not far away, gritted his teeth and spat out a mouthful of blood essence to consecrate his sword, suddenly stirring up a sky full of blood-red sword shadows.

This caused it to fire in a barrage at the Demon Lord of the Underworld Tiger, as a delaying tactic.

At the same time, it transformed into a blood-red sword light and pounced towards the Eight Trigrams Master.

"Find a way to destroy one of the gates of hell, then retreat immediately!"

He sensed a deadly threat, and at this point, worrying about the lives of his disciples was no longer appropriate; he had to make a decisive move.

The Eight Trigrams Master's eyes were bloodshot, and a Tai Chi Bagua diagram flew out from his body, enveloping the two of them as they crashed towards the Gate of Hell in the east.

She glanced back and gave him a fierce look, as if she wanted to remember him.

To everyone's surprise, Wang Yu responded with a smile.

"Click~"

In an instant.

Frost and snow filled the sky; the power of his innate divine ability, which he had deliberately accumulated before releasing, was unleashed to its fullest extent, and the glazed pagoda spun rapidly above Wang Yu's head.

The cold, frosty moon surrounded a series of wondrous sights.

Palaces and cassia trees are imprinted in the frosty moonlight.

A fairy figure, with a jade plate on her back and a feathered robe draped over her body, crossed the cold bridge, her face obscured. Judging from her curvaceous figure, she was an illusory image of a female fairy.

With an ice axe and frost sword hanging at her waist and a holy bow in her hand, a white jade ruyi transformed into a bowstring, and a moon rabbit leaped into the fairy's hand, transforming into an icy arrow.

Osmanthus tree, moon rabbit, ice axe, jade plate, fairy shadow, palace, cold bridge, frost sword, aurora, feather robe, ruyi, holy bow.

The twelve phases blended together as one, achieving an initial fusion.

This means that this innate divine power is infinitely close to perfection, and once perfected, the twelve wonders will be just like real things.

Wang Yu was able to draw upon this power, unleashing a portion of his supernatural abilities locally, resulting in a dramatic increase in his flexibility.

But right now, it brings the Eight Trigrams Master and the Hemp-Clad Ancestor an extreme sense of horror.

You can't block it, you can only dodge it!

"call out--"

The frost arrow shot out suddenly, but halfway through its flight, it transformed into a cute moon rabbit, crashing into the two people enveloped by the Bagua diagram as if it were flying towards the moon.

This is a mid-grade fourth-tier magic weapon, and it's a very rare Bagua diagram. The Qimen Twisting technique uses different trigrams to draw upon the power of all elements in heaven and earth.

While doing everything possible to weaken the Moon Rabbit's arrows.

The two also shifted their positions, but in less than a third of a breath, the Tai Chi Bagua diagram suddenly shattered, turning into tattered pieces of cloth that scattered in all directions.

The Demon Lord of the Netherworld and the Demon Lord of the Underworld stared wide-eyed.

Seemingly not expecting Wang Yu to be so powerful, before they could say anything, the Moon Rabbit Arrow exploded, pulling even the Frost Moon manifested by the divine power towards it.

The view was completely white.

A frost storm, several levels stronger than before, erupted, sending out a dense hailstorm that blasted the earth into countless holes, with deafening roars echoing everywhere.

The most important thing is the result.

A frost flower bloomed in mid-air, seemingly freezing the void itself. The Sword Sect's Nascent Soul, whose physical body had completely decayed, had no choice but to escape from it.

The nascent soul is not in a very stable state, but it is indeed still some distance away from annihilation.

The twelve phases of Guanghan are very strong.

However, it hasn't reached the absurd level of directly annihilating both the body and the nascent soul yet; its power is only enough to overwhelm a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages. This can be considered one of the manifestations of his profound foundation.

The two old demons were numb, while the two victims wished they could tear Wang Yu apart. Without their original bodies, their path to immortality was also cut in half.

If there is no suitable body to possess, one's life will be stuck here forever.

The old patriarch in hemp clothing suffered even more severe injuries.

He followed the path of ancient artifact cultivation, and that iron sword was connected to his life, just like the Nether Tiger Demon Lord losing his natal Yin beast. His injuries were much more severe than those of the Eight Trigrams Master.

Such a terrifying upstart will be a great enemy of the Taihu Spirit Realm.

"Go! Use teleportation!"

"Dream on."

Wang Yu clasped his hands together and slammed them together, instantly filling the void with countless spatial chains. He turned back and roared at the Nether Demon and the Nether Tiger.

"Go! Leave them behind!"

Second update complete.
