A thousand miles away from the demon's lair, Elder Jin led his disciples to land on top of a mountain. He looked towards the direction of the lair, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
Just now, he had already killed his way to the bottom of the altar, and the disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders were forced to retreat step by step. Just as he was about to break through the altar and seize this monstrous achievement, a decree summoned him back, causing him to be extremely depressed.
Not long after, dozens of flying lights flew over. Suddenly, he heard someone calling him from the sky. He looked up and saw a silver-haired cultivator wearing a sapphire blue robe. He cupped his hands and said, "Junior Martial Brother Xiao, why are you back as well?"
Elder Xiao smiled and said, "Senior Martial Brother, don't you know that all of our Celestial Gate's disciples have withdrawn?"
Elder Jin initially thought that he had returned because the sect had other arrangements, but after hearing this, he knew that wasn't the case. Looking at the situation, it seemed like they were going to abandon the spirit lair. He couldn't help but be surprised and asked, "Why is that?"
Elder Xiao pressed down on the flying light and landed, "Senior Martial Brother, Just Now, did you not see the abnormality of the spirit lair?"
Elder Jin Daoren said, "Of course I did. Could it be that the spirit lair was pregnant ahead of time?"
Elder Xiao waved his hand and said, "That's not the case. I heard from Senior Martial Brother Moqi that it was a true demon swallowing Qi to condense into the appearance of a heavenly demon. To prevent us from being harmed, he summoned us back."
Elder Jin was shocked and said, "That spirit lair has just been formed, how can there be a true demon inside?"
Elder Xiao said meaningfully, "Since it's not a heavenly … Naturally, someone arranged it beforehand."
Elder Jin said angrily, "Who would be so daring?"
Elder Xiao smiled and said, "This attack was planned by Senior Martial Brother Sima. He has the Spirit Subduing Technique, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to get a few true demons."
Elder Jin was startled and said angrily, "How can Elder Sima be so unwise?"
Elder Xiao sneered and said, "This is nothing special. The seniors of Qing Ling Altar's lineage are all the same. There are always people who want to achieve this Dao. This time, Yuwen Shixiong handed over the responsibility to him, so he should have thought of this. "
Elder Jin said thoughtfully, "Junior Martial Brother Xiao, although Elder Sima is in charge of the overall situation this time, we still need to listen to Spiritual Master Yuwen for many arrangements. Do you think that all of this was secretly arranged by the Spiritual Master? "
Elder Xiao's heart trembled as he shouted, "Senior Martial Brother, be careful with your words. This kind of devil is the common enemy of our Spirit Gate. Why would Spiritual Master Yuwen do this?"
Elder Jin also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue. If word of this got out, it would be detrimental to the sect, so he didn't dare to say anything more.
Inside the Demon Cave. After Zhou Ting dashed for a few miles, he seemed to have thought of something. He stopped and shook his sleeve, releasing a pagoda. Inside the pagoda, there was a Daoist who looked like him. It was his own physical body. He immediately pounced on it. He merged with it and stood up again. He guided a streak of starlight over and used it to open a path in front of him. Then, he continued to escape into the depths.
He had already made a decision in his heart. If this continued, if the other party had already achieved the Sky Demon Body, then there was no need to say what would happen. Even if he had to sacrifice his life, he had to find a way to stop it.
He had been here before and knew that the Spirit Tide in the Demon Cave was getting stronger. If he was not careful, he would be sucked into it. Therefore, he suppressed his Qi. He advanced carefully.
However, after traveling for a while, he felt that something was wrong. This time, not only was there no hindrance when he flew, even the Spirit Tide that was everywhere before was nowhere to be seen.
Thinking about it, he knew that it had something to do with that devil. Maybe he was about to reach the time of Spirit Tide. Instantly, a sharp light appeared in his eyes. He forcefully used his mana and rushed down without a care for anything else.
After flying for an unknown period of time, he saw a dark and gloomy smoke below him. It looked like a bottomless funnel that swallowed all the impure Spirit Tide.
He focused for a moment and didn't say a word. He used all the mana in his body and threw the banner in his hand down.
Before it reached the mist whirlpool, a black smoke suddenly flew out. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a black-robed Daoist. He raised his hand and a gust of black wind rose. The banner was held up and couldn't fall for a moment. He looked over and said, "Zhenren Zhou, why did you come here?"
Zhou Ting snorted and said sternly, "Under this Fang Qingzheng Xuantian, how can demons like you exist in this world?"
Sima Quan could tell that the Daoist Daoist and Xuantian were irreconcilable enemies. He couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "I didn't come to find you, but you came to find me first. That's fine too. Today, I'll have a taste of your Yuxiao school's divine arts."
Zhou Ting understood that if the other party could come out and talk to him, he wouldn't have achieved the body of a Skyscraping Demon. He obviously came at the right time. Therefore, he didn't say anything more. He made a hand sign and the banner shook. The surface of the banner moved vigorously and released rays of light. With a whoosh, it shook off the surrounding smoke and flew into the sky. Thousands of rays of golden light rushed out and illuminated the underground Demon Cave.
Sima Quan felt uncomfortable when the light touched him. He knew that this item was a threat to him. Just as he was about to think of a way to break this talisman, he saw a ray of starlight appear behind Zhou Ting. The scenery in front of him instantly changed as if he had entered another world. He immediately recognized that he was trapped in the Yuxiao school's divine art, "Vast Cloud of One Breath".
He couldn't help but laugh. He had the body of a True Demon. This divine art could trap others, but it couldn't trap him. He immediately turned around and escaped into nothingness.
Zhou Ting's gaze shifted as if he knew where he was going. He took a step and used the "Heavenly Cycle Square". In an instant, he moved thirty feet away. Then, he bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Sima Quan wasn't prepared for this move. When the blood touched his body, his formless body was immediately broken and he was forced to reveal himself.
Zhou Ting knew that in a few breaths' time, the demon would be able to refine the blood. However, this short period of time was enough for him.
He waved his sleeve and picked up eight Thunder Star Beads of Godly Might. They connected from head to tail and spiritual light overflowed in all directions. There was a faint sound of wind and thunder as they turned into a hot golden rainbow.
Although Sima Quan wasn't able to turn invisible, he still had the Netherspring Sect's divine abilities, so he wasn't flustered. Seeing that he was coming at him with a torrential momentum, it looked like it would be hard to defend against him. He gathered his mana and was about to use the Yellow Springs Escape Technique, intending to avoid a direct confrontation.
Who knew that at this moment, a huge pressure would wrap around him. His body stiffened and he immediately understood that he had been hit by the Heaven and Earth Lock Technique. He quickly took out a Counter Curse and wanted to undo this technique.
However, the Thunder Bead had already landed beside him and exploded in an instant. It instantly tore him into countless black smoke and slowly dispersed.
However, in the next moment, a cold wind blew past. The smoke stirred and suddenly gathered together. Then, it once again revealed its body.
He put his sleeve behind his back and said, "Although Sage Zhou's mana is strong, it's still not enough to kill me with just these methods. If this goes on, I'm afraid it's hard to avoid dying here."
The turbid air here was endless and it was almost impossible for him to lose. Even if he really messed up this time and couldn't achieve the body of the Sky Devil, he could just start all over again later.
There was still at least one more day before the Spirit Cave was formed. However, the opponent needed to use his own blood to undo the Art of Formlessness. This method had a huge price to pay. If he didn't drag it out until then, he would probably die of exhaustion.
Zhou Ting said coldly, "I have never thought of going back since I came here. I swear to fight with you to the end!"
Sima Quan laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist wants to die, I'll give it to you."
Zhou Ting didn't speak to him anymore. He made a cut on his arm and shook his wrist. Countless beads of blood splattered out. He then pointed to the sky and the banner above him swayed. It gave off a bright light and instantly enveloped the opponent within it.
Sima Quan saw the rain of blood and knew that he couldn't escape. He didn't even bother to hide and allowed his body to be shone by the light. Then, he was smashed into pieces by the lightning. However, after a few breaths, the smoke gathered and he returned to his original appearance.
Zhou Ting cut open wounds on his body one after another and sprinkled his blood from above to force the opponent to reveal himself. He then used his mana and supernatural powers to attack the opponent. However, every time he scattered the opponent, he would reform himself not long after. However, he acted as if he didn't see it and continued to attack.
After an hour, clouds and smoke floated around him. It was because his mana wasn't enough and he couldn't maintain the "Vast Cloud of One Breath" anymore. This part of the world finally dissipated.
He couldn't help but stop his actions. He silently examined his body. This body had suffered great damage and had already damaged his Dao foundation. However, he was determined to die, so he naturally didn't care about this.
He brought his body to battle. He originally wanted to use himself as bait to lure the opponent into his body. He would first use his blood to taint the demon's body before collapsing the Dharmakaya and cutting off its spiritual vigor. Even if he couldn't kill the demon, he could still severely injure it and delay its path to becoming a Sky Demon. However, he didn't expect the opponent to not be fooled and see through his intentions. He couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.
"It's time to put an end to this."
He didn't care about Sima Quan anymore. Instead, he sat cross-legged and raised his finger to touch the space between his eyebrows. On the Dharmakaya, rays of bright starlight appeared.
Sima Quan saw this and didn't know what he was going to do. He was also moved. He snorted and shook his head, "Why do you have to do this?"
Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang. It was as if the Milky Way had exploded and the mountains had collapsed. The Devil's Cave was suddenly as bright as day. The surging starlight and golden rays were like an immeasurable tide, drowning him completely.
This action of collapsing the Dharmakaya affected the surrounding area and caused countless ravines and tunnels to collapse. Even the surface of the ground was shaking non-stop.
At the same time, a ray of starlight flew out of the Devil's Cave in the blink of an eye and headed towards the direction of Yuxiao.
After an unknown period of time, threads of turbid air came from all directions and entangled together, forming another Devil's Body.
Sima Quan looked at the direction where the starlight flew towards and thought to himself, "That thing must be the treasure that Zhou Ting brought with him. I wonder what it is. He didn't use it during the battle, so it must be a treasure for defense. Luckily, I didn't act rashly Just Now."
Just Now, during the battle, the Devil's Consciousness came out again to cause trouble and urged him to devour the opponent's spirit. However, his rational side prevailed. He suspected that Zhou Ting had a treasure for defense, so he suppressed his restless heart and didn't act rashly.
In reality, with the True Devil's Body, other than some Demon Subduing Treasures, even a Killing Weapon might not be able to do anything to him. However, he would rather be more careful than take the risk.
Seeing that there was no one coming to disturb him, he raised his head. First, his upper body turned into billowing waves of smoke, then his waist, abdomen, and legs changed at the same time. He used his mana to trigger spiritual vigor and once again condensed the Sky Devil's Body.
