"Hmph! I knew there’d be rats like you trying to fish in troubled waters!"
Breaking the Grand Array caused a huge commotion. The six Nascent Soul Old Demons naturally didn’t entertain the foolish hope that they could hide it from the other Nascent Soul Old Demons of the Jade Poison Kingdom.
A blood-curdling scream suddenly echoed from within the hall. The Nascent Soul Old Demon who had been rushing straight for the treasury found his joy turn to sorrow as six needle-type Magical Treasures, hidden in the shadows, pierced his body.
"The Six Evils Blood Transformation Needle! Yang You Old Demon, you’re vicious!"
This Six Evils Blood Transformation Needle was the very Magical Treasure that had made Yang You Old Demon famous.
This old demon dared to pull chestnuts from the fire, so he was naturally confident in his Escape Technique and Protective Magical Treasure. However, the Six Evils Blood Transformation Needle was a set of needle-type Magical Treasures famous within the Demon Sect, specializing in breaking through all kinds of Protective Spirit Lights and Body Refining Techniques.
Although his Protective Magical Treasure was strong, he was caught completely off guard and failed to block the sneak attack launched with Yang You Old Demon’s full Power. The Magical Treasure’s Protective Spirit Light was pierced straight through.
Yang You Old Demon had secretly refined this set of Six Evils Blood Transformation Needles and hidden them in the shadows precisely to deal with those who wanted to fish in troubled waters.
The Six Evils Blood Transformation Needle was incredibly vicious. Once it entered the body, it would unleash six types of Demon Fiends, melting the target into a pool of putrid blood.
That old demon was a veteran Demon Cultivator. After being ambushed, he immediately suppressed the Demon Fiends with his Magical Power, swallowed an entire bottle of Healing Spirit Medicine, and slapped a Spirit Talisman on himself.
At a great cost, he managed to force the six crystalline glints out of his body.
The old demon’s Vitality was severely damaged, yet he didn’t even dare to glance back at Yang You Old Demon, immediately transforming into a streak of Tunneling Light and fleeing. Having been ambushed, he no longer had the Power to sit at the table. If he stayed any longer, he would be carved up like a dish by the other old demons.
A Profound Light flashed in Yang You Old Demon’s eyes. He clearly saw two streaks of Tunneling Light quietly tailing the fleeing old demon.
"Haha, fellow Daoists, the Grand Array is broken! What are you waiting for?"
He laughed loudly and charged toward the Royal Palace.
White Bone Demon followed close behind. Although they had long since agreed on the rules for dividing the spoils, if he secretly pocketed some goods while looting the treasury, he wouldn’t have to share them with the other old demons at all.
The Jade Poison Great Saint, spear in hand, went straight for Yang You Old Demon. Now was the time to fight for his life. He held nothing back, and as he unleashed his full Power, his surging Demon Power seemed ready to set the entire sea ablaze.
"Jade Poison, you may be famous, but it’s six of us against one of you. How dare you be so arrogant!?"
Hearing Yang You Old Demon’s roar, Celestial Cicada Old Demon and Yang Di Old Demon also made their moves.
"Jade Poison, today we will kill you and refine your corpse into a Demon Corpse!"
Celestial Cicada Old Demon cackled sinisterly. The Jade Poison Great Saint’s physical body was considered transcendent in the Nascent Soul Realm, and he had long coveted it.
Several Nascent Soul experts attacked with all their might, instantly throwing the seabed into turmoil.
The disciples of the old demons on the periphery, despite being protected by the Array Banners of the All Heaven Demon Fire Array, were still thrown into chaos by the aftershocks of the Magical Combat.
Yang Jing blended into the crowd, pushing his Grotto Dark Dharma Eye to its absolute limit. He pierced through the chaotic Demonic Qi and Demon Power below, searching with all his might for any trace of Danxia True Monarch.
Before and after the assault on the Array, it was as if Danxia True Monarch had never been there; he was completely silent. Yang Jing had anticipated that he would try to conceal himself and escape. ’How could I let him get his wish?’
"A Snake Demon is trying to escape! Quickly, help me activate the Array!"
Yang Jing’s eyes lit up as he spotted an inconspicuous wisp of clear qi. The person within the clear qi was using a highly sophisticated technique, but they were caught by the aftershocks of the chaotic Nascent Soul battle and had to act to defend themselves, revealing a slight flaw.
At this moment, most of the Array cores of the All Heaven Demon Fire Array were controlled by his subordinate Ox Power Demons. At his command, they immediately took action. The remaining Demon Cultivators manning the other cores saw that the Grand Array was already moving and had no choice but to go with the flow.
With the White Bone Demon’s disciple, Du Sheng, secretly cooperating since Yang Jing had him by the throat, Yang Jing naturally seized control of the All Heaven Demon Fire Array.
The Demon Fire surged violently and, under his control, transformed into a massive Demon Saber that slashed straight toward the wisp of clear qi.
"CLANG!"
A Treasure Fan radiating purple qi flew into the air. With a single flap, it unleashed a gale-force wind. Struck by this wind, the Demon Saber formed by the All Heaven Demon Fire Array disintegrated back into Demon Fire.
Danxia True Monarch appeared from within the clear qi, his expression grim. Two anxious disciples stood beside him, and all three were standing atop the Purple Qi Spirit-Birth Furnace.
’Could this be the tribulation I must face to advance to the Divinity Transformation Realm!?’
He was filled with unease. Ever since he had decided to refine this Innate Chaotic Qi, he had faced constant setbacks and nothing had gone smoothly. Just as his Seven Veins Transformation Technique was about to succeed, six Nascent Soul Old Demons had shown up at his door.
Danxia True Monarch had thought that by relying on the Supreme Void Talisman—which he had paid a hefty price for from the Supreme Sect—and with the Jade Poison Great Saint drawing all the fire, he would be able to leave the Royal Palace smoothly. He never imagined that a mere Golden Core Demon Cultivator would spot a flaw in his Tier Four Upper Grade Spirit Talisman.
"Master!"
While Danxia True Monarch could barely maintain his composure, his disciples, Yi Hongzheng and Xu Qian, were already trembling like leaves in the wind.
There were a full seven Nascent Soul experts fighting fiercely here, with an unknown number of other Nascent Soul Old Demons and Demon Kings lurking in the shadows. Even their master was struggling to protect himself, let alone two insignificant Golden Core Cultivators like them.
Although there were many Nascent Soul experts in the Central and Northern Continents, their numbers were not infinite.
The moment Danxia True Monarch acted, one of the old demons recognized him. Besides, his Magical Power stood out conspicuously amidst all the Demon Power and Demonic Qi.
"Elder Danxia! You’re here! It seems that scoundrel Jade Poison got the Xuyu Coral long ago and secretly hired an Alchemist to refine a Life-Extending Elixir for you!"
White Bone Demon flew into a rage. His Demonic Qi flared up like flames as he charged toward the Jade Poison Great Saint.
The other old demons reacted the same way. Unaware of the Innate Chaotic Qi, they naturally jumped to the conclusion that Danxia True Monarch was there to refine a Life-Extending Elixir.
Furthermore, all eyes focused on the Purple Qi Spirit-Birth Furnace beneath Danxia True Monarch.
"The Xuyu Coral is in that cauldron!"
The hearts of the six Nascent Soul Old Demons pounded with greed.
The Jade Poison Great Saint was fighting for his life to hold back the six Nascent Soul Old Demons, intending to let Danxia True Monarch leave with Si Taizhen and continue extracting the Innate Chaotic Qi. But he never expected Danxia True Monarch to be so useless as to expose himself directly.
In his desperation, he revealed his true form, transforming into an azure-green Heaven-Swallowing Python. He coiled his massive body, encircling the six Nascent Soul experts.
"My Jade Poison Kingdom never had any Xuyu Coral! You destroyed my Royal Palace and killed my subjects! Today, you will pay the price!"
The moment his voice fell, he spat out a jade-like Snake Pearl. A thick, green cloud of potent poison billowed out from the Supreme Treasure Pearl, enveloping all six Nascent Soul experts.
This was a virulent poison accumulated within the Snake Pearl by generations of Jade Poison Kingdom Sovereigns. Furthermore, under the Snake Pearl’s control, it linked with the Jade Poison Great Saint’s serpentine body to form a massive Poison Array.
The toxicity within the Poison Array was immense. For a moment, the six Nascent Soul experts could do nothing but defend themselves.
"Disciples, hurry and activate the Grand Array! Don’t let Elder Danxia escape!"
