Within the Wangchuan region.
Yang Xian and the other two are discussing.
Master Baiyun stretched comfortably and took a sip of tea with relish: "After keeping an eye on that Reincarnation Mother Spider for so many years, I've suddenly found myself in a relaxed state. I really don't know what to do. Hey, what do you guys think? How about I make myself a fishing tackle and go fishing in the River of Oblivion when I have nothing to do?"
Wan Jun glared fiercely at Daoist Baiyun: "If you're really bored, then guard Linchuan City for me. I haven't left Linchuan City for many years, and I can only get here by using my clone."
Master Baiyun chuckled: "You wish! I'd better go fishing instead."
"You!" Wan Jun was furious. It wasn't that he was afraid of being tired, but he couldn't stand the way Bai Yun Daoist was so smug.
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Yang Xian said, "Let's be patient a little longer. Once Fellow Daoist Fang becomes a true god, we will have the resources to purge the surrounding Heavenly Demon Gods. With Fellow Daoist Fang's talent, he will definitely be able to break through within a hundred years."
Wan Jun nodded: "That's right. I can wait a mere hundred years. Once Fellow Daoist Fang emerges from seclusion, I will definitely give those people a good beating..."
"Urgent report from the Hellfire Realm!!"
A hurried voice rang out outside the cave.
Yang Xian and the other two immediately became serious. They knew that the Purgatory Demon Realm was the territory of that three-headed hellhound. In order to keep track of the movements of these Heavenly Demon Gods, they had long ago arranged for many Yin soldiers and spies to investigate news outside the Demon Realm.
Has that old dog made a new move?
"Come in."
A ghostly soldier rushed into the cave in a panic, without even paying his respects, and said anxiously, "Lord of the Domain, something terrible has happened! A terrifying demonic aura has just emanated from the Purgatory Demon Domain, and the sheer power of that aura has spread tens of thousands of miles beyond the domain."
"Could it be that old dog has broken through?" Yang Xian asked solemnly.
"No, it's not Cerberus. I've been keeping watch outside the Infernal Demon Realm for years and am already familiar with Cerberus's aura. That aura doesn't come from him; it should be... that snake woman!"
Yang Xian and the others' expressions changed slightly.
Wan Jun asked anxiously, "Are you sure you didn't sense anything wrong? Wasn't that snake woman in seclusion? How long has it been since she came out?"
The ghost soldier nodded repeatedly: "General Wan, I am certain! When that snake woman went mad a few years ago, she petrified many of my brothers. Those stone statues are still in my camp. There is no way I could mistake the snake woman's aura."
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, the atmosphere in the cave became oppressive.
However, Daoist Baiyun chuckled and said, "It's just a mid-stage seventh-rank Heavenly Demon God. Although we can't defeat her, we're more than capable of defending the city. Before Fellow Daoist Fang came, didn't we still manage to defend the Wangchuan Domain? Now that Fellow Daoist Fang has arrived, do you think the Wangchuan Domain can fall? Wouldn't Fellow Daoist Fang's trip have been in vain?"
Master Baiyun's words eased the others' expressions slightly. Although they had to face the pressure of a mid-stage seventh-rank Heavenly Demon God, it wasn't unbearable. It would just mean a more arduous journey over the next hundred years, with the goal of minimizing casualties.
But the next sentence from the ghost soldier sent chills down the spines of the three of them.
"Lord of the Domain, General Wan, Daoist Baiyun, I'm afraid things aren't as optimistic as we thought. I sense that the snake woman's aura seems stronger than before, it seems..."
The ghost soldier hesitated a bit when he said this.
"It seems like something!" Wan Jun said impatiently.
"It seems like he has broken through to the late stage of the seventh rank."
"What!?"
Teng!
Wan Jun stood up abruptly from the stone seat, his face full of surprise and doubt.
Are you sure you're not mistaken?
Yin Bing nodded with difficulty: "I was afraid of misperceiving, so I specifically asked my colleagues who were keeping watch with me, and they all sensed it."
The atmosphere in the room froze instantly, becoming extremely oppressive.
After a long while, Yang Xian waved his hand, signaling the ghost soldier to retreat.
"Gentlemen, that snake woman was able to break through to the late seventh rank in such a short time, which must mean she has recovered her memories from her previous life. With the breakthrough in her realm and the recovery of her supernatural powers, you can imagine how difficult she is to deal with," Yang Xian said in a low voice.
The other two also looked extremely unpleasant. Although the late stage of the seventh rank was only one small realm different from the previous mid-stage of the seventh rank, this difference was worlds apart in the realm of true gods.
It should be understood that in this realm, each breakthrough in a minor realm requires hundreds or even thousands of years of arduous cultivation. The higher the grade, the more so. At the level of the upper three-grade true god, even ten thousand years of seclusion may not be enough to make further progress.
Originally, facing the snake woman who was in the mid-stage of the seventh rank and had not yet regained her memories, they could have relied on the advantage of fighting on the home ground of the Wangchuan Domain and mobilized a large amount of incense and prayer power to fight, barely managing to stop the attack of the group of Heavenly Demon Gods.
However, as the snake woman regained her memories and her strength reached the late stage of the seventh rank, this fragile balance was completely broken. Even though the demon god's side lost one of the Reincarnation Mother Spiders, their overall strength was still greatly enhanced compared to before.
A seventh-grade late-stage Heavenly Demon God could single-handedly flatten the Forgotten River Domain.
Even Yang Xian, the strongest among them, was only at the early stage of the seventh rank. He could barely resist the snake woman at the mid-stage of the seventh rank in a battle on his home turf, but he could never stop her at the late stage of the seventh rank.
The Land of Oblivion is in grave danger!
"Alas, I'm destined to be a busybody; it seems I won't be able to catch any fish," sighed the old Taoist priest Baiyun.
Wan Jun glared angrily: "What kind of time is this? You're still thinking about fishing? The Forgotten River Domain is about to perish, what's the point of fishing for fish!"
"Why are you yelling at me! If you're so capable, go yell at the snake woman!" Master Baiyun said, blowing his beard and glaring.
Wan Jun slammed his fist on the table: "If Yang Xianneng could regain his memories, that would be great. Once he regains his memories, he can mobilize all his original essence and then fully restore his cultivation from his previous life. At that time, he might not be without the power to fight the snake woman."
Yang Xian, however, was not as optimistic as him. His voice grew even lower: "Even if I regain my memories, I can at most take another step forward like the Snake Woman. If I fight with all my might, I might be able to perish together with her. But the problem is, I will die, while she can be resurrected. When the Snake Woman is resurrected and returns, the Forgotten River Domain will also perish."
These words extinguished the last glimmer of hope that had been ignited in everyone's hearts. Yes, these Heavenly Demons were simply unkillable.
This is also why the immortals and gods have become increasingly weak in the underworld in recent years. In the series of battles, countless immortals and gods have died, but not a single demon god has been lost. Since they cannot be killed, they can only be suppressed and sealed. But what seal is eternal in this world?
Sooner or later they will break free from the seal, or be rescued by other demons.
“Fellow Daoist Fang does have the means to suppress demon gods, but he is still too weak. How can he suppress a late-stage seventh-rank Heavenly Demon God?” Daoist Baiyun sighed.
In their view, Fang Xiu was indeed a genius, capable of suppressing a ninth-grade Heavenly Demon God with his True God cultivation. However, the problem was that his current enemy was a seventh-grade Heavenly Demon God, and the gap between them was too great to be bridged by talent alone.
