The seventh level of the Demonic Path was called "Raising Demons." Raising True Demons would greatly improve one's cultivation.
Then there was the eighth level, Demonic Soul. Raising True Demons and combining them with one's Divine Soul would form a Demonic Soul. As long as the Demonic Soul was not destroyed, the Demonic Path cultivator would not die.
The ninth level was called Disintegration.
When a cultivator's body disintegrated, their Demonic Soul would also disintegrate. They could split into different numbers of sub-souls.
The destruction of sub-souls would cause great damage to their vitality, but as long as one sub-soul was not destroyed, the Demonic Path cultivator would still have a chance to rise again.
At the same time, the more sub-souls there were, the more powerful the Demonic Soul would be. Each of the sub-souls would have powerful combat abilities.
The Purple Sun was overjoyed. It split into eight Purple Sun Flood Dragons and surrounded the mist where Chen Xingwen was hiding.
Then, the eight flood dragons spat out purple flames and surrounded the mist from all directions.
Under the violent purple flames, the mist became smaller and smaller. Finally, Chen Xingwen's body was exposed.
He had no choice but to attack with his sword.
However, the eight flood dragons all whipped their tails at Chen Xingwen's sword aura.
Before all eight of them were whipped, Chen Xingwen's sword aura dissipated.
His body and sword became one. His Qi and blood merged with the sword aura.
His sword aura was shattered and his Qi and blood were scattered.
The eighth level Misty Sky Peak elder fell to the ground.
On the other side, Mu Hongyuan was not in a better situation than Chen Xingwen.
He could only raise his sword and challenge the Brontosaurus in the sky.
The Brontosaurus spat out a Thunder Light and shattered the sword aura. However, it only managed to draw its sword.
It turned out that Mu Hongyuan had feinted and thrown his sword to attract Gu Hechuan's attention.
He took the opportunity to flee into the distance.
However, Gu Hechuan did not fall for it. After knocking down the sword, the Brontosaurus extended its huge head and swallowed Mu Hongyuan.
Thunder and lightning flashed in the dragon's mouth.
Mu Hongyuan resisted with all his might, but he still felt his body gradually becoming numb.
In just a short while, the eighth level and the seventh level of Misty Sky Peak were both captured.
The blood-colored phoenix looked at the eight Purple Sun Flood Dragons flying around in the distance, and a very human-like look appeared in its eyes.
Coincidentally, a few Purple Sun Flood Dragons laughed out loud simultaneously, then turned around and looked at Blood Shadow.
Little monk Hui Ming muttered to himself, "Breaking through to the next realm shouldn't be done in one go. Furthermore, it's such a coincidence that both of them broke through at the same time?"
His confusion was the same as everyone else's.
Just as Purple Sun was about to speak, the eight Purple Sun Flood Dragons suddenly exclaimed in unison.
Seven of them disappeared just like that.
There was only one Purple Sun Flood Dragon left in the air. It transformed back into Purple Sun's appearance, and its face was filled with shock.
The aura around him suddenly dropped.
He wasn't hiding it on purpose. Instead, he really had returned to his original eighth level.
Everything that happened just now was like a dream.
However, the elder of Misty Sky Peak, Chen Xingwen, who had been defeated by him and was now lying unconscious on the ground, could prove that everything just now had not been an illusion.
However, after the Purple Sun rose from Realm Eight to Realm Nine, he fell back to Realm Eight again.
Now that he was operating the demonic arts, he was no different from his previous self.
The blow of losing what he had gained almost drove the already somewhat deranged Purple Sun crazy.
However, at this moment, Gu Hechuan's voice suddenly came from the side.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I didn't disappoint Your Majesty. I've successfully captured the thieves who dared to invade Chang 'an. I'll immediately escort them back to the city."
Gu Hechuan stood on the Thunder Cloud and saluted in the direction of Chang 'an.
The Brontosaurus Facies disappeared. At this moment, his cultivation had also regressed from Realm Eight back to Realm Seven, which was no different from his original state.
In the end, Taoist Master Gu was both surprised and disappointed.
However, he quickly came back to his senses and first thanked Chang 'an for his grace.
His voice made Purple Sun, who was about to go crazy, suddenly calm down.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I didn't disappoint you."
Purple Sun also hurriedly saluted in the direction of Chang 'an. At the same time, cold sweat broke out on his back. He was secretly glad that Gu Hechuan had reminded him.
Their actions also brought the others back to their senses.
Just now, it was the Lord of Chang 'an who increased the strength of Purple Sun and Gu Hechuan with his supreme cultivation, allowing them to successfully take down Chen Xingwen and Mu Hongyuan.
After Purple Sun and Gu Hechuan completed their mission, this power also left them.
Everything came from the Lord of Chang 'an, who was hundreds of miles away!
However, how could it be possible that he was so far away?
Could it be that the Lord of Chang 'an had come here in person?
Just now, everyone did hear his voice.
Monk Hui Ming, Ao Ying, Han Zhe, Hu Yinghua, and the others were all surprised and looked around.
"His Majesty ordered us to go out of the city to pick them up. Why would he go out of the city himself?"
At this time, Blood Shadow said, "This is His Majesty's supernatural power. It's supreme and omnipotent!"
The Blood Phoenix turned back into the image of the old devil and coldly glanced at everyone present. "Until today, you still don't understand His Majesty's supernatural power?"
"We wouldn't dare!" Han Zhe and the others hurriedly said, "We lost our composure for a moment. We were not disrespectful to His Majesty. Please forgive us, Mr. Blood Shadow."
Blood Shadow nodded reservedly. "Take them down. Let's go back to the city."
Everyone in the Qingxia Villa, including the villa master Yun Mo, was captured by Blood Shadow and tied up in blood cocoons.
The people of Misty Sky Peak also failed to escape and were captured by Han Zhe and the others.
Purple Sun and Gu Hechuan captured Chen Xingwen and Mu Hongyuan respectively and returned to Chang 'an with Blood Shadow.
Both of them were slightly absent-minded.
After experiencing the mysteries of a higher realm, they yearned for it.
Both of them wished that the increase in strength just now was permanent.
But thinking about it, such a wonderful thing was not enough to obtain unless they made an earth-shattering contribution.
In fact, it was also because they were not strong enough to take down Chen Xingwen and Mu Hongyuan that His Majesty promoted them at the last minute.
At the thought of this, Purple Sun Old Demon and Gu Hechuan both felt guilty.
Judging from His Majesty's tone, there shouldn't be any punishment, right?
But they definitely didn't need to think about rewards.
Both of them sighed inwardly.
But at the same time, their yearning for Chang 'an became more and more intense.
What kind of supernatural power was needed to increase the cultivation strength of two people from hundreds of miles away?
It was no wonder. Mr. Dark Cloud was at least a Level-9 cultivator, let alone His Majesty.
Regardless of whether it was the Eastern Tang dynasty or the Northern Qi dynasty, they were no match for Chang 'an!
No, they were like mantises trying to stop a chariot.
Submitting to Chang 'an was the right choice.
Purple Sun and Gu Hechuan had the same thought.
Actually, it was not that they did not gain anything from this trip.
Even if they only stayed in a higher realm for a short while, this experience would be greatly beneficial to their future cultivation.
Just as Purple Sun was savoring the aftertaste, he suddenly felt someone in front of him.
He looked up and saw Blood Shadow's expressionless face.
"What did you mean by the way you looked at me just now?" Blood Shadow asked coldly.
Being questioned so impolitely, Purple Sun Old Devil was furious.
He still remembered the grudge of being taught a lesson by Old Demon Blood Shadow previously.
However, when he thought about how His Majesty trusted him more and how he was also a Level-8 cultivator and more powerful, Purple Sun swallowed his anger for the time being.
"Nothing," Purple Sun said.
Blood Shadow did not let him go. "Nothing? What do you mean?"
Purple Sun swallowed his anger and took a deep breath. "I just … wanted to ask you for instructions. Do you have any other orders?"
"No." Blood Shadow stared at him. "Do what I give you and don't think too much about anything else."
Purple Sun Old Demon replied with an "en" and lowered his head.
Blood Shadow went back to the front of the group.
"Purple Sun." Yuan Shuang looked up and exhaled deeply.
"When I get a firm foothold in Chang 'an, we'll settle all our debts together."
"With the experience of Level-9, I'll definitely break through from Level-8 to Level-9 faster than you. When that time comes, I'll be the number one demon before His Majesty. Let's see what you can do then …" Yuan Shuang thought angrily.
The group returned to Chang 'an. Mr. Dark Cloud was waiting.
"His Majesty has orders. Just leave the captives to me."
Hearing Mr. Dark Cloud's words, Blood Shadow did not object. He waved his hand and signaled everyone to take the captives.
"I'll report to His Majesty." Blood Shadow passed by Mr. Dark Cloud.
Mr. Dark Cloud nodded. "Hui Ming, Ming Yixue, you two take this little girl to Daming Palace. His Majesty wants to see you."
Little Monk Hui Ming and Shen Herong immediately took Ao Ying and followed Blood Shadow.
"Purple Sun." Yuan Shuang watched Blood Shadow go straight to Daming Palace. He was envious.
Old Demon Blood Shadow sensed his gaze, but he ignored it.
How could he not know whether he was convinced or not?
However, his gaze had never been placed on a mere Purple Sun Old Demon.
Blood Shadow resisted the urge to turn around and look at the figure in black behind him.
'This old man is my real rival!'
'One day, I'll definitely defeat you …' Blood Shadow thought to himself as he went to Daming Palace to report to Zhang Dongyun.
"Well done." Zhang Dongyun casually pointed out a few obstacles in the Old Devil's cultivation.
Within Invincible City, not only could he improve the strength of Purple Sun and Gu Hechuan, but he also knew everyone's cultivation problems like the back of his hand. He could also give the most exquisite adjustments and solutions.
Blood Shadow listened to his advice and hurriedly thanked him as if he had received a treasure.
Zhang Dongyun said a few words of encouragement to the Old Devil and then asked him to leave first.
Then, Little Monk Hui Ming came in.
"Your Majesty is kind and benevolent. You only ordered the captives to stay alive. It's a blessing for the common people." Hui Ming first put his palms together.
"I'm not fond of killing, but if someone doesn't know what's good for him, he'll only be digging his own grave." Zhang Dongyun said lightly.
Hui Ming put his palms together and said, "Your Majesty is merciful and will be rewarded."
"I'm not interested in leaving good karma to monks." Zhang Dongyun said, "Since you've brought Huan Tianlong back, I won't pursue your past. You may leave."
Hui Ming was silent for a moment and then said, "I beg for Your Majesty's permission to stay in Chang 'an for a few days."
