Chapter 526 Acquiring the Celestial Vine and Leaving the Secret Realm

The Five-Colored Holy Lord has been working towards this day for a long time.

Back then, the Medicinal Horned Deer clan was not only the dedicated physicians of the demon race, but also, in a sense, a consumable. The antler beads that grew on their heads had never been used by them.

Even when an important figure is injured and on the verge of death, they will offer their own flesh and blood, or even their entire demon body, as a life-for-life exchange to heal the critically injured key figure.

He had long been fed up with this treatment, like a lamb to the slaughter.

In order to ascend to the position of Holy Lord, he disguised himself for nearly a thousand years, finally standing out from countless pawns of the Prison King and Spirit Official, and finally obtaining this opportunity to reach the pinnacle of godhood.

For him, the Heavenly Man-Connecting Divine Vine was his only hope.

Once he successfully breaks through the limits of his bloodline, his inferior birth will no longer be able to restrict him. In fact, he can even use his cultivation level to drive the evolution of his bloodline.

Completely changing the future of the horned deer clan.

Such is the constraint of the demon race's bloodline: it is both their strength and their weakness. However... once they break through the constraint, they can possess potential that can be described as "endless".

The lower one's level of attainment, the easier it is to break free from these shackles.

certainly.

It's not necessary to go against one's bloodline. Relying on rare treasures or special opportunities to advance one's bloodline normally is also a viable path to success.

Take Wang Yu for example. His body refinement cultivation has reached the fifth level, and his extraordinary realm is like an innate talent that he can control.

His descendants have a certain probability of awakening top-level aptitudes such as "Innate Body Refining Saint Body," which is the continuation and inheritance of bloodline.

The demon race is born this way, while the human race must be strong enough to pass on this powerful trait through bloodline.

Therefore, the higher the realm of existence, the more difficult it is for them to reproduce, and the higher the requirements for the mother body become. After all, what they are giving birth to are all "little Nezha", which mortals simply cannot bear.

Let's return to the present.

The emotionally charged Five-Colored Holy Lord clearly overlooked the fact that to be a dog, one must be prepared to be one; as the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances.

He usually understood these principles, but at this moment he seemed to have lost his mind, showing great resistance to them.

This instantly violated the principles of the Prison King and Spirit Official.

In order to save the Five-Colored Holy Lord, he used a clever trick to tear apart the boundary space and transfer Wang Yu's offensive divine powers elsewhere, seemingly without violating the rules of the immortals.

In fact, it has already touched a taboo.

Three times in a row, he had already reached the limit of his ability to suppress his attacks. If he continued, the commotion he made would be detected by the Celestial Palace's supreme treasure—the [Sky Patrol Mirror]!

If he is reported to the Zhou Tian Exorcism Institute, he will be sought out by those evil spirits and punished first.

The Celestial Palace is one of the rulers of the True Spirit Realm.

The Prison King Spirit Official's duties are mainly supervisory, involving observation and reporting. If a real battle were to take place, a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage would not be appointed to the position.

According to information provided by the previous Prison King, Lingguan, who was also his senior brother, the natives of the Ice Demon Prison are very good at causing trouble and have caused many disasters by breaking the seals of ancient demons.

He also killed two immortals residing in the celestial palace.

Therefore.

His senior brother taught him many practical skills, mainly focusing on cultivating local forces, which is the essence of learning from the barbarians to control them.

He had only been in office for a little over a thousand years, and the Five-Colored Holy Lord was a very important bargaining chip in his hands. If he could replicate his senior brother's feat, he could seize control of the leader of the righteous path.

The entire Ice Demon Prison would naturally be peaceful, so he didn't need to put in too much effort. Therefore, he chose the Five-Colored Holy Lord, who was meticulous, intelligent, and ambitious.

Whether they are demons, humans, or demonic cultivators, they are all tools to be used in his eyes. As for his understanding of the Ice Demon Prison, it can be said that no one has more complete information than the Prison King Lingguan.

It's just giving up a single celestial and divine vine.

Even if you miss it, you can find similar opportunities elsewhere. It's just a pity that there's a lot of information that you can't share with these natives in the lower realm.

You can only hint at it and see if the other person can understand.

However, the Five-Colored Holy Lord's sudden loss of emotional control made him realize a blind spot: his control over the chess pieces was too low!

Within the void rift, the Prison King Spirit Official remained silent for a moment.

"Lu You, as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood. With me here, why should we care about this precious vine?"

That makes sense.

This was also the last chance given by the Prison King and the Spirit Official.

Who would have thought?

The Five-Colored Holy Lord turned and ran away, much to the surprise of everyone, including Wang Yu, who never expected the usually intelligent Holy Lord to make such a choice.

It seems that he has been influenced by a long-standing obsession.

Even the smartest person can make irrational choices.

Hearing the long sigh beside him, Wang Yu immediately teased.

"Senior, do you need my help? I guarantee I won't harm a single hair on his head."

This statement was also a test.

Wang Yu knew nothing about the Prison King Lingguan's standards for taking action, so he naturally needed to test him more. After all, taking risks wasn't about recklessly charging in and risking certain death, which he wouldn't do.

If the other party agrees, it proves that he is already bound by the rules of the immortals and cannot make a move.

At that time.

The Five-Colored Holy Lord is like a prostitute in a brothel, completely at his mercy. If he refuses and personally brings the person back, he will be more inclined to win without a fight.

Talks are just a waste of time!

It's even possible to accept the other party's invitation, as long as you're not subjected to any life-threatening secret techniques, you can act it out!

The Prison King Lingguan was clearly not a fool; he instantly saw through Wang Yu's purpose. But even if he knew, there was nothing he could do. Such is the domineering nature of a cunning scheme.

There is only a choice; there is no room for retreat.

That's the situation.

The power of the Prison King Spirit Officer surged out from the void rift once more, instantly transforming into a talisman.

"—Imperial Edict!"

"—Return!"

In an instant.

A fierce wind surged, whipping up thousands of piles of snow, making the already gloomy secret realm even darker, and almost completely scattering the entire Phoenix Abyss Cold Pool.

No water stains could be seen anymore; only endless ice crystals remained frozen on the ground. Then, the Five-Colored Saint Lord was surprised to find that his body was uncontrollably starting to move backward.

As if time had reversed, he returned in the same way he left.

Throughout his life, he has consumed many spiritual items bestowed upon him by the Prison King and Spirit Official. Otherwise, how could the Medicine Horned Deer Clan, with its resources and status, possibly cultivate a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage?

This situation of being forcibly controlled had occurred to him more than once in his imagination, which was also the reason why he cultivated the demonic path, as the unpredictable methods of demonic cultivators were the most treacherous.

He wanted to prepare a way to break the curse in advance.

But when he actually faced it, he had none of the methods he could use. He didn't even know what methods the Prison King Spirit Official had used, and his body showed no abnormalities whatsoever.

How strange!

However, the current situation did not allow him to think too much. With his face flushed, he reappeared in front of Wang Yu and obediently squatted down.

"Young friend Wang, what do you think of my methods?"

Wang Yu looked on with admiration and clapped his hands repeatedly.

"Impressive. No wonder you are a great figure from the Celestial Palace. I wonder if this talisman is a consumable item? Or is it some kind of talismanic supernatural power?"

"Telling you won't hurt. This is a time-reversal talisman, usually used to rewind time to a region where events occurred in the past. I have improved it using Gu techniques."

"By planting the Shadowless Gu into Lu You's shadow, one can control people with the shadow."

As for the more detailed principles, they didn't go into much detail.

Wang Yu suddenly realized.

While the Prison King Spirit Official himself is unable to act due to the rules, he is not entirely forbidden from using certain external objects and methods below the sixth rank.

Just like the talismans and Gu worms we just talked about... to expand our thinking further, corpse refining, beast taming, magic weapons, puppets, flying swords, and so on are all forms of power that can be controlled remotely.

He then realized something.

The other party kindly explained, even pointing out the Gu technique, which was a reminder that the Prison King Spirit Official was not someone who could be bullied at will.

The fact that it has repeatedly prevented the ancient demon from breaking its seal throughout history is proof of this.

Even if the opponent doesn't use their Void Refinement stage strength, but only targets him with the power of the peak Nascent Soul stage, it is still something that Wang Yu cannot withstand at this stage.

There's one more thing to consider now.

Wang Yu's already excellent mind became increasingly agitated as he considered how to proceed.

After subduing the Five-Colored Saint Lord, he suddenly fainted completely, and even his spiritual fluctuations became extremely calm, for no apparent reason.

The power within the void rift continued to surge.

The Celestial-Human Connecting Treasure Vine floated out of the Five-Colored Saint Lord's storage ring and slowly approached Wang Yu.

Looking at this vine, which is entirely green, yet its leaves shimmer like stars, and whose veins resemble human figures striking one pose after another.

In Wang Yu's eyes, greed gleamed without any attempt at concealment.

This is the origin of the so-called communication between heaven and man.

It is said that a person with extraordinary comprehension once comprehended a set of mysterious techniques for transforming into a divine being, which is now the breakthrough method commonly used by cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

It is also called the [Nascent Soul Transformation Technique]!

Its universality allows it to adapt to the physical condition of almost every human being, and one has to admit that the cultivator who created this method was simply a genius.

After many events, the precious vine that had broken through to the Divine Transformation stage was finally obtained.

Considering the situation is different from the initial contact.

Wang Yu has gained a much deeper understanding of the Prison King Spirit Official, from the initial Six-Eared Thief to now being able to roughly estimate the maximum power he can wield under the rules.

This is already a significant improvement, and they are much more confident in breaking free from the prison of the Ice Prison Realm.

Unfortunately, the intelligence was still insufficient, and some information could not be obtained through "asking". Facing this thing alone, Wang Yu was not as fearless as he appeared.

So... it's time to stop.

And so it was.

Just as Wang Yu accepted the precious vine, the prison king Lingguan was about to continue discussing the matter of "amnesty" and try to bring this rising star to his side.

They had even prepared their lines and bait.

Without warning, Wang Yu smiled at him and then transformed into a streak of aurora, disappearing into the ruins of the icy pool. The void rift that was constantly rippling was clearly stunned for a moment.

Immediately afterwards.

A sharp shout suddenly shot into the sky, scattering countless dark clouds.

"Wang Yu! You dare to play me!!!"

Heaven can attest to this.

The Prison King Spirit Official had never been deceived by the inferior native creatures of the lower realm, nor had he even considered such a possibility.

In his view, Wang Yu and the Five-Colored Holy Lord had a long-standing grudge.

Such competition is normal, and recruiting them can even intensify the competition within the team, further stimulating the potential of these natives and making them better serve him.

I never imagined that after Wang Yu got his hands on the items...

They actually chose to turn their backs on us... They just ran away!

The thought of the price he had paid and the concessions he had made, and how shameless this native was, almost consumed his reason with a murderous rage.

A terrifying spatial storm raged in the void behind the secret realm.

It nearly shook the largest subordinate space secret realm of the Ice Prison Realm, causing the entire Holy Lord Heavenly Palace to tremble, and Wang Yu was in a state of extreme escape.

Clearly, they don't intend to go to the last area of ​​the secret realm.

All objectives of this trip have been achieved, and there are still quite a few living Nascent Souls in hand. In addition, with the existence of the Sorrowful Phoenix Ice Blood Stone, give him some time.

The transformation into a god is within reach!

As for the Ice Demon Forest, let whoever wants to go go. So after escaping a certain distance, he noticed that the entire secret realm was beginning to shake, and he decisively took out the Holy Decree.

Activate its power.

He teleported him directly out of the secret realm, making a very smooth exit. Of course, he didn't forget to use the communication jade talisman to notify Yan Ling and the others along the way.

…………

…………

The entrance to the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm is located on the iceberg platform.

The Azure Dragon Demon Lord was like a god of death incarnate, with nine lightning dragons flowing around his body. Every time he swung his claws, a mournful cry from a half-blooded ice race member would resound through the sky.

The corpse was charred like a piece of charcoal and was instantly killed by the thunder dragon.

No matter how strong they are, as long as they haven't reached the Nascent Soul stage, they often can't withstand his attack. His offensive capabilities are clearly beyond the limit, far beyond what these mixed-blood ice race can handle.

The trap they set was like a foolish fisherman trying to catch an adult blue whale with a net—a futile attempt by an ant trying to shake a tree!

The Azure Dragon Demon Lord had never felt so alive before.

This [Nine Dragons Thunder Aura] divine power was once his most powerful skill, which made him famous, but he was defeated by the White Tiger Demon Lord and the Refining Heaven Demon Lord one after the other.

This greatly diminished its prestige, but that was not the Nine Dragons Thunder Force at its peak, and even now it has not been brought to its full potential.

Faced with an endless siege of Nascent Soul cultivators, the Nine Dragons Thunderous Aura, with less than half its power, was like a divine punishment descending upon the world. The dazzling lightning contained the intent of thunder, easily slaughtering its opponents.

He felt an extreme sense of pleasure, as if he had returned to his peak condition.

"So comfortable, so comfortable, so comfortable!"

"I have been suppressing my feelings for a thousand years and have never felt such exhilaration."

The Musou mowing mode is really satisfying.

The mixed-blood ice race was almost driven to terror and routed. The sons of the Ice God, who had earned great renown in the endless ice plains, were like toddlers who had just learned to walk.

The Azure Dragon Demon Lord was a madman wielding a chainsaw. After a rampage, the area was completely cleared of charred remains and bits of flesh.

The Azure Dragon Demon Lord, slightly out of breath, glared.

"Hurry up and help this old man up."

The two demon kings then realized what was happening and quickly went over to help each other up. In fact, the demon lord wasn't that weak; he was just using this action to deepen their intimacy.

Before he could say anything, he immediately sensed the vibration in the space, and his facial features changed color instantly.

"Quickly, escape with all your might!"

At that time.

Wang Yu and the others had just emerged from the secret realm and hadn't yet figured out what was happening outside when they heard the Azure Dragon Demon Lord's roar.

Instinctively, they moved away from the place, looking somewhat disheveled.
