Puff!
White flames ignited beside Lu Sheng and revolved around him like a lantern.
After leaving the Vermilion Bird Palace, he immediately went to one of the demon immortal cave abodes he controlled.
This cave abode was located on the ground, in a place called Light Mountain. It looked no different from other mountain ranges, with green hills and clear waters, lush greenery, birds singing, flowers fragrant, and strange beasts lurking.
But in reality, this was just a facade. The demons here looked gentle and peaceful on the outside, but once they got too close, they would instantly erupt and transform into the most hideous and strange beasts, tearing apart all living things that dared to enter.
Among all the cave abodes of the demon immortals under Lu Sheng's command, this was the most hidden and the best camouflage.
The cave abode was located in the depths of the mountain, surrounded by a sturdy protective array that the demon immortals had set up for tens of thousands of years. There were also hidden illusion arrays and spell traps on the perimeter.
Lu Sheng entrenched himself in the depths of the cave, and a faint golden-red Vermilion Bird shadow slowly appeared on his body. He was in a state between his true form and his human form.
He was still recovering his Vermilion Bird Divine Fire. It had taken him a long time to recover from the blow from Minghe's staff. A powerful flame like the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire could not be quickly converted from the outside world. He had to slowly secrete it in his true form.
Every portion he used meant one portion less.
"Good thing I've finally recovered." Lu Sheng let out a long sigh of relief. Only in his most complete state could he receive this complete upgrade.
He roughly checked his current state.
The Vermilion Bird Clan and the Phoenix Clan had similar innate character patterns. The Phoenix Clan was born with the four words "auspicious", and the Vermilion Bird Clan had the same.
Just like Lu Sheng's previous charm, it was innate and had nothing to do with nurturing.
The Vermilion Bird Clan's true strength and supernatural powers all originated from these innate character patterns.
Through the character patterns on their bodies, they naturally communicated with the universe and triggered the rules to form supernatural powers.
The human form was the easiest form to communicate with the universe, so Lu Sheng was in a state between his human form and his true form. He had the advantage of having two forms at the same time.
"Deep Blue," he said in his mind.
A light blue interface popped up in front of him, and several boxes popped up. They were all the divine abilities and cultivation techniques he had learned in this universe.
Other than the Nan Ming Long Life Record, there was also the Red Thearch Star Condensation Art. However, he did not intend to cultivate the Red Thearch Star Condensation Art at the moment.
Lu Sheng looked at the current Nanming Longevity Record.
"Nan Ming Longevity Record: Ninth Tier of the 71st Transformation. (Divine Abilities: High-grade Heart of Flame, High-grade Flame Transformation, High-grade Flame Strengthening, High-grade Fire Element Racial Suppression, Level-7 Nan Ming Divine Fire)
'I still have 500,000,000 Mental Energy units left. Let's see how many levels I can level up.' Lu Sheng had a thought. He gave the command and had the modifier increase his power by one revolution in one go.
The frame of the Nanming Longevity Record immediately blurred.
Large amounts of Mental Energy surged out of his chest like waves and spread to his limbs. An even hotter wave of heat flooded Lu Sheng's entire body.
He closed his eyes. This feeling was already a walk in the park for him. He could sense the warm currents surging into the countless cells in his body, and the technique of the Nanming Record of Longevity automatically circulated at high speed.
The Longevity Record, which originally required tens of thousands of years of hard work to achieve a breakthrough, was transforming at a ridiculous speed.
This inherited cultivation method of the Vermillion Bird Tribe became more difficult to achieve breakthroughs in the later stages of cultivation. Usually, a Vermillion Bird would be considered to be extremely talented if they could reach the 30th Transformation. If they wanted to continue, they would have to consider the problem of their lifespan.
Lu Sheng's body was not very talented, but he had Deep Blue. Deep Blue used Mental Energy to forcefully increase his cultivation base to the 71st Transformation. This was equivalent to more than a million years of cultivation base for other Vermillion Birds.
According to the calculation method of the Primordial World, the units of measurement here were Huiyuan. One Huiyuan was equivalent to 10,800 years. One Huiyuan was equivalent to 12 Huiyuan, which was 129,600 years.
Lu Sheng's current cultivation base was equivalent to about a dozen Huiyuan's accumulation. That was more than a million years of cultivation base.
The only Vermillion Bird in the world who had lived for more than a million years was Yu Xuan, the Vermillion Bird Tribe Leader.
There were also a few top-notch demon immortals in the Demon Court who had such a level of cultivation base.
"It seems very powerful, but in reality, in the Primordial World, I can't even defeat Minghe." Lu Sheng shook his head slightly.
Minghe was an old monster who had lived since the heavens were split open. His incarnation was already on par with him. If his true body came out, there was really no way he could compare.
'However, in this universe, time is not valuable. Minghe and the other almighties have long reached their limits. Many top-notch demon immortals have also reached the limits of the Connate Realm. They can't advance any further. Even the few top-notch demon immortals in the Demon Court have long reached their limits. They are stuck at a bottleneck. Those who are truly nourished by the Heavenly Cycle Star Formation are only those low-level demon immortals. '
Lu Sheng calculated in his heart.
Soon, Deep Blue's interface slowly became clear.
"Nan Ming Longevity Record, 72nd Transformation, 9th Tier. (Mystical Powers: High-level Heart of Flame, High-level Flame Transformation, High-level Flame Strengthening, High-level Fire Element Racial Suppression, Level Eight Nan Ming Divine Fire) "
There were no other changes. The Nan Ming Divine Fire had become Level Eight. This was a change in Mystical Powers. Lu Sheng clearly felt that his body had some subtle and indescribable feeling. It should be that his lifespan had increased again. His cultivation base and demonic power had also increased by about 30%.
Clearly, this was the effect of this transformation.
After the Nan Ming Longevity Record was upgraded, traces of mysterious matter began to seep into the Heavenly Devil's main body. It began to absorb the slight Death Qi in the main body, forming a gray stone. At the same time, the main body's Spirit Power seemed to be gradually strengthening because of this.
'I've spent close to 50,000,000 Mental Energy units … That's too much … 500,000,000 isn't enough at all …' Lu Sheng frowned.
'Whatever. I'll upgrade first.'
With a thought, he continued upgrading the Nan Ming Longevity Record.
73rd transformation, 74th transformation, 75th transformation, 76th transformation … all the way until the 80th transformation!
The scorching white Divine Fire on Lu Sheng's body gradually gained a strange black color.
It was white on the outside, but there were faint black threads on the inside.
The flame was only the size of a pea. It floated in front of Lu Sheng, but the heat it emitted had already melted the walls of the cave into golden lava. The Protective Formation madly emitted green smoke. Occasionally, the Protective Divine Talismans would crack and explode, turning into charred black.
The air had long since been burned dry. What surrounded Lu Sheng was a large amount of rocks that had been vaporized in the cave. These rocks appeared to be a turbid, faint golden mist. They continuously circled around Lu Sheng.
Outside the vaporized rocks was golden lava. Outside the golden lava was yellow lava. Beyond that was red, dark red, and finally pitch-black.
Large amounts of hot gas rose from the surface of the entire mountain of light. The animal demon tribes nearby felt that something was wrong, and fled in all directions in panic.
A few daring Great Demons thought that a rare treasure had descended into the world. They formed teams and rushed toward Lu Sheng's location. However, they could not take it anymore halfway, and turned to flee.
Lu Sheng sat where he was with his legs crossed. His body was like a three-legged Golden Crow, emitting a terrifying flame that could vaporize everything.
The Vermilion Bird Divine Fire was originally a southern flame with special abilities. Only the True Fire of the Sun could have such a domineering and terrifying temperature.
But now, Lu Sheng had forcibly pushed the temperature of the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire to a level similar to that of the True Fire of the Sun.
The Divine Fire itself had a strong destructive power against the spirit, and it had been strengthened to the extreme.
Lu Sheng could vaguely feel that he would touch an indescribable barrier if he did not improve it much.
That should be the congenital limit of the Vermilion Bird Sacred Body.
Although the bloodline of the ancient divine beasts was extremely weak and tyrannical, it was not without limits. It was like a tall building. No matter how good and tall the framework was at the beginning, there would be a limit eventually. The same pool, no matter how big or wide it was, would also be filled to the brim.
Lu Sheng used his Mental Energy to surpass the accumulation of millions of years of hard work by others. He was about to reach the bottleneck of the bloodline limit of the Vermilion Bird Tribe.
"Not enough … I need more Mental Energy … more …" Lu Sheng could feel that he was about to reach the limit. Only when he reached the limit and broke through again could he reach the Sage-to-be Tier.
The limit of the racial aptitude and the limit of the physique were the first shackles of the congenital universe that limited life.
If he wanted to break through, there were only four ways. Proving the Way with strength, proving the Way with Three Corpses, proving the Way with merit, and proving the Way with great aspirations.
Cutting the Three Corpses was out of the question. Lu Sheng did not plan to take this path at all. After cutting the Three Corpses, there would be no point in living anymore.
Therefore, he planned to prove the Way with strength. The only person who proved the Way with strength in this universe was Pangu.
Pangu's Primordial Spirit was born in the congenital chaos. It was born without any rules. Therefore, it could infinitely strengthen itself until it broke through all rules.
Lu Sheng knew that his biggest advantage was that his body was not a creature of this world. The Heavenly Devil's body was not restricted by the rules of this world. He also had this advantage. Proving the Way with strength was completely feasible.
That was right. He planned to use his main body's strength to help this Vermillion Bird Sacred Body break through its limit when it reached its limit.
"Just a little more … Go. Find me any special treasures with a long history …" Lu Sheng sat cross-legged in the center of the golden mist. The terrifying silhouette of a huge golden Vermillion Bird shone around him. With him as the center, countless cracks in the space slowly spread into the surroundings.
The originally green mountains and waters of Radiance Mountain were rapidly being scorched by the high temperature. It turned into a hell like a mountain of flames.
…
…
The demon court.
Tai Yi looked down at his subjects through the bead curtain.
Colorful lights flowed around the meeting hall. An illusory Luan Bird and flood dragon formed by the formation danced around slowly. The Vermillion Bird Tribe's conductor slowly played a solemn and deep tune.
"Now that two of the Shaman Ancestors are dead, our strength is greatly diminished. The demon court was slightly inferior before this, and had no choice but to protect ourselves. Now that the situation has changed, it's a good time for the Heaven Court. Dear subjects, do you have a good plan to get rid of the Shamans once and for all? "He had been exhausted by the Shamans recently.
His elder brother, Di Jun, had lost nine princes after his plan to kill Zhurong Gonggong was discovered. He didn't care about the remaining Sun Star. He hid and hid his identity. Until now, no one knew where he was.
Now that the Sun Star had returned to Xi He, Tai Yi felt guilty. After all, they were the ten sons of his elder brother, Xi He, and his sister-in-law. Now …
Because of this, his hatred for the Shamans grew stronger. He had gone to Emperor Nvywa's Palace many times to beg the Saint to help, but he had been rejected.
"Since the Saint is unwilling to help, I'll do it myself!" With this thought, the East Emperor Tai Yi gathered his subjects and looked for a good plan.
All the officials sat in the main hall in silence.
Tai Yi's gaze fell on his most capable subordinates. Then, he glanced at the Demon Master Kun Peng.
"Everyone is the pillar of the Heaven Court. Why aren't you saying anything?"
"Your Majesty, the internal strife among the Shamans is indeed the best opportunity for us. However, at the same time, the Heaven Court suffered heavy casualties in the previous battles. The power of the Twelve Heavenly Demon Formation is too terrifying. Even without two Ancestral Shamans, it's not something we can match, "Demon God Bai Ze said slowly.
Bai Ze was a fair-skinned, handsome young scholar. He held a fan in one hand and a cup in the other. His tone was calm.
Tai Yi knew that he was trying to persuade him not to act rashly for now.
"If one more Ancestral Shaman is gone, we might have the upper hand," Bai Ze continued.
"That's easy for you to say." Shang Yang shook his head slightly. "Even if you managed to get rid of Zhurong Gonggong, it was only because the two of them had a bad relationship. However, the Shamans are now united against a common enemy. There's no way we can do anything. "
The two of them were the top Demon Gods under Tai Yi. Their statuses were similar, so they spoke more casually.
However, when the other Demon Gods heard that Bai Ze had been the one to get rid of Zhurong Gonggong, they looked at Bai Ze in shock.
