Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant

Chapter 859: Chapter 381: Slaughtering the Daluo Golden Immortal

The vitality of the Life Seed re-filled the body, and the body taken by the Heaven-Devouring Great Demon once again returned to one’s control, as if soaked with unimaginable energy.

Li An survived against the Heaven-Devouring Great Demon.

Even though it’s confirmed now that the Heaven-Devouring Great Demon is gone, Li An still feels alarmed; the result of the battle is a mix of calculated stakes and sheer luck.

The Heaven-Devouring Great Demon didn’t expect Shangguan Shengxian to form an alliance with Li An right under his nose, nor did he foresee Li An hiding a Nine-Turn Immortal Pill... and not even Li An expected the white mist.

What exactly was that thing?

To this day, Li An’s curiosity about it grows heavier, but he can’t find the answers.

Perhaps only the Longevity Seeker who traded with him in the Deceit Realm might know.

"He listened to me..."

As Li An pondered for a moment, Shangguan Shengxian’s voice rang out; Li An turned his head to see that at some unclear point, Shangguan Shengxian had already stood up, with a cruel smile on her face, saying:

"I advised him to use his true form to lure the Evergreen Immortal Venerable and Yunluo Immortal Venerable, and then to wait for you to break the situation yourself... haha, persuading him was not easy."

Li An took a glance and immediately noticed Shangguan Shengxian’s current state: her Primordial Spirit seemed as though it was chewed repeatedly, filled with tooth-mark cracks, her skin on her body was smeared with nauseating mucus, she appeared to be swallowed and spat out by someone.

At this moment, Li An suddenly understood why Shangguan Shengxian would rather collaborate with Li An, her great enemy, to kill the Heaven-Devouring Great Demon.

It’s fair to say that she was the one who truly killed the Heaven-Devouring Great Demon.

"Don’t look at me like that; time left to you is short."

Shangguan Shengxian arduously walked to the side, picked up a black bone ring, and said, "As we agreed, after killing the Heaven-Devouring Great Demon, you can have his power, and everything else belongs to me."

But Li An just looked at her plainly, saying, "If I recall correctly, I did not agree to the deal you proposed."

"All of this belongs to me."

Sharing the spoils with Shangguan Shengxian?

Li An doesn’t possess such noble conduct and awareness.

Now that Heaven-Devouring Great Demon is dead, she becomes the enemy.

Securing everything from Heaven-Devouring Great Demon will greatly increase his strength, improving his chances of surviving under Evergreen Immortal Venerable and Yunluo Immortal Venerable.

And Shangguan Shengxian, on what grounds?

An alliance, worthless! A pact? Simply meant to be torn apart!

"You truly are a heartless and unprincipled person; forming an alliance with you is less worthy than finding a dog for a partner."

Shangguan Shengxian suddenly laughed, staring at Li An, saying, "Do you think I’ll surrender willingly?"

She moved, intending to charge at Li An.

Her cultivation advanced extremely fast under Heaven-Devouring Great Demon’s tutelage, already reaching the Golden Immortal Level, just one step away from becoming a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Yet, before Li An at this moment, she is exceedingly slow.

With just a thought, Li An immobilized her.

Then, the black Demon Blade instantaneously descended, obliterating Shangguan Shengxian’s head, shattered into pieces!

Her Primordial Spirit didn’t even manage to utter a single shrill scream before being completely annihilated by Li An.

Li An didn’t utter an extra word.

He didn’t even bother to capture and torment her further, to enjoy the pleasure of revenge.

Li An reached extreme calmness, long unaffected by his emotions, wasting time on Shangguan Shengxian would be irresponsible to himself.

Enemies, kill them and be done with it; torture? If time allows, that could be leisurely, but when in dangerous circumstances, it’s best to be fast and clean.

"Gu Hong, you can rest in peace now."

Li An just softly murmured within his heart.

As Shangguan Shengxian’s life extinguished before his eyes, Li An seemed to recall the woman whom he had manipulated her whole life in Celestial Yang City and who ultimately died defending him.

At this moment, he suddenly felt something emptied within his heart.

Perhaps, in reality, he had long forgotten Gu Hong, only forcibly remembering her by hatred; now that hatred is over, everything about her was like the wind departing.

Li An detected this inner change, but he didn’t delve into it.

Human nature cannot withstand trials nor scrutiny.

"The power of the Heaven-Devouring Great Demon remains temporarily within me..."

Li An silently sensed; indeed, as Shangguan Shengxian said, he received it.

However, this power isn’t inherently his; it was injected by the Heaven-Devouring Great Demon, so over time, it will inevitably dissipate.

His current cultivation level... He feels confident to fight against a Daluo Golden Immortal.

With a sigh in his heart, this strength already crosses unknown chasms, incredibly powerful, yet he must face an opponent so terrifying.

No choice, the Heaven-Devouring Great Demon that stayed here was merely a remnant soul, not his true form.

"Perhaps, the Heaven-Devouring Demon Pot is my only hope..."

He waved his hand, and the black ring appeared in his hand, casting a glance inside, only finding several black Demon Crystals, and a lidless magic pot!

Li An couldn’t help but be surprised; back then, the Heaven-Devouring Great Demon to lure him, placed the pot lid in Lady Yi’s tomb; Li An for caution abandoned the lid, allowing Yi Lingwei of the Yi Clan from Purple Cloud Province, to take it away. Years have passed, yet the Heaven-Devouring Great Demon still hasn’t reclaimed the lid?
