"This is..."

"Heaven-Devouring Demon Technique?"

"Not good!!!"

The eyes of several Demonic Nascent Souls narrowed, then changed in horror, forgetting even the Golden Ship of Calamity, and swiftly withdrew to escape outside the formation, in their hearts cursing the Celestial Slaughter Demon Monarch.

"Celestial Slaughter, you bastard!"

"You actually cultivated the Heaven-Devouring Demon Technique!"

"You mean for us to make wedding garments for you!"

"Damn it!!!"

Several of them withdrew, cursing in their hearts, filled with regret and remorse.

Heaven-Devouring Demon Technique!

This is an ancient demonic technique, one that has long been lost to history.

The reason it was lost is because this method is too extreme; it uses all beings as resources, devouring the world to achieve the self, able to swallow the flesh and blood, divine soul, true yuan, and magical power of all living creatures.

Such cultivation, although progressing rapidly, results are too mixed and brings numerous hidden dangers, very easily leading to one being possessed by demons. Even demon cultivators keep a respectful distance, and the orthodox Dao suppresses it strongly. In ancient times, few cultivated it, and after the ancient era, the inheritance was severed.

But unexpectedly, the Celestial Slaughter Demon Monarch found it, and used the Ten Thousand Dao of Heaven Demon Great Technique from the Celestial Demon Palace to refine and cultivate it, creating a unique Ten Thousand Dao Heaven-Devouring Demon Technique.

They need not even look to know that the cultivators in the dungeon must be completely annihilated; whether practicing the Heavenly Demon Great Method or other demonic techniques, facing the Heaven-Devouring Demon Technique, none can escape disaster.

Not to mention those cultivators, even they, who are Demonic Nascent Souls born from an orthodox source like Celestial Slaughter, now in the range of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Technique, if they cannot escape in time, will ultimately turn into resources, devoured by the Dharma Aspect of Celestial Slaughter, this bastard.

Betrayal, absolute betrayal.

More than ten thousand demon cultivators in the dungeon, divided according to their cultivated demonic techniques, were resources for the few to progress to Divinity Transformation.

But now Celestial Slaughter has betrayed them, devouring them all with the Heaven-Devouring Demon Technique. Such actions undoubtedly hit a nerve with them.

Grievance without choice, they can only painfully withdraw.

No choice in the matter, the way of the devil is always winner takes all.

As for the losers... you’ve lost, what right do you have to speak?

Losers have no voice!

Several Demonic Nascent Souls hurriedly fled, the Golden Ship of Calamity, unblocked, also tried to escape this place of trouble.

But with the Ten Thousand Dao Heavenly Demon mobilizing the great method, the Heaven-Devouring Demon Technique affecting all directions, the entire Celestial Demon Array was influenced, the Golden Ship of Calamity delayed, got caught by the terrible suction force, unable to escape, but instead pulled backwards towards the Ten Thousand Dao Heaven-Devouring Demon.

What, celestial tribulation?

"Rumble!"

The tribulation had started, thunder descended; it was the Great Sun Celestial Thunder, most effective against Outer Celestial Demons.

But even such tribulation thunder, under the Heaven-Devouring force, could only turn into resources, all nine Great Sun Celestial Thunders were swallowed, falling into the thousand feet demonic body like mud cows into the sea, showing little effect.

"This demon..."

"Is actually so terrifying?"

"Heaven-Devouring Demon Technique!"

Inside the Golden Ship of Calamity, everyone was panicking, the South Sea Earth Nun and Old Turtle Fisherman looked towards Mei Daoist.

"Purging the demons to protect the Dao, sacrificing life for righteousness!"

Mei Daoist didn’t say much, only urged on his Nascent Soul, preparing for a final fight.

At this point, there’s no other way, only by risking life can there’s a sliver of hope for survival.

"Brother Dao!"

Seeing Mei Daoist already intent on sacrifice, the South Sea Earth Nun and Old Turtle Fisherman narrowed their eyes, similarly urging on their Nascent Souls.

At such a critical moment...

"Boom!!!"

A sword light tore through the sky, slashing into the battleground.

The sword light unmatched, able to cut through the void, even the Heaven-Devouring suction couldn’t contend, severed by a sword in the air.

"Boom!"

The Heaven-Devouring suction was cut off, the Golden Ship of Calamity regained freedom, transforming into a golden light flying through the air, in a blink reaching outside Hidden Sword Mountain.

"This is..."

"Li Qingming?"

Rushing out of Hidden Sword Mountain, traveling thousands more miles, the Golden Ship of Calamity only then appeared out of danger.

At the same time, several escape lights fell, appearing on a peak were several figures.

Mei Daoist’s eyes chilled, then drove the Golden Ship of Calamity forward: "Thank you, friend, for the rescue. This demon’s ferocity is overwhelming, this celestial tribulation likely won’t stop him, best to retreat first..."

"Brother Mei!"

Before the words were finished, several escape lights pierced the sky, it was the Mystic Sect cultivators pursuing.

Several Nascent Souls came forward: "Elder Li has formed his Primordial Spirit, he not only comes to break the siege but intends to capture all demons, we should assist Elder."

"Elder Li?"

Mei Daoist was stunned, then reacted quickly, leading everyone off the Golden Ship of Calamity, arriving at the peak to bow before Shen Hex and the others: "Mei Yun greets the elder."

"No need for formalities, friend!"

Shen Hex raised him with his hand, then turned his gaze towards Hidden Sword Mountain covered by tribulation clouds and the Heaven-Devouring demonic silhouette: "Indeed remarkable demonic majesty."

"Indeed!"

Mei Daoist’s eyes narrowed: "This demon is a prodigious talent, also cultivated the long-lost Heaven-Devouring Demon Technique. Not only did he devour many demons as resources, he now aims to swallow Heaven and Earth tribulation thunder."

"Observe, everyone!"

With that, he turned and pointed: "Outer Celestial Demons are yin-related beings, with spirit but no form, with heart but no body. The Celestial Demon Palace refines them, resulting in a cultivation body of supreme yin and softness, thus attracting supreme yang and firm tribulation, the Great Sun Celestial Thunder Tribulation."

"The Dao is fifty, Heaven evolves forty-nine, even celestial tribulation has a sliver of life and possible fortune. If he merges with the Great Sun Celestial Thunder, yin and yang converge, man and demon become one, that would result in terror surpassing the Three Fierce of the West Sea and North South Two Madmen."

He spoke solemnly, then returned his gaze to Shen Hex with a hint.

Hinting at what?

Before Shen Hex could speak, a Mystic Sect Nascent Soul stepped forward, pressing his hand, saying: "No worry, brother, Elder’s swordsmanship is incomprehensible, surely can subdue the demon."

"..."

Mei Daoist looked at him, momentarily speechless.

Did I speak not clear enough, or hint not obvious enough?

Or does this person really have confidence to suppress the Heaven-Devouring Dao-achieving Celestial Slaughter Demon Monarch, no, Demon Venerable?

And you bunch, it’s one thing for him to be confident, but why are you foolishly cheering, flattering the elder so loudly, do you know what he’s capable of, yet cheer him like this, what if he doesn’t subdue it later?

"Brother Dao!"

Mei Daoist didn’t speak, but his expression spoke volumes, the Nascent Soul could do nothing, could only quietly transmit the account of the prior Dongting event.

"Nine-Nine Undying Celestial Tribulation?"

"This..."

After a few words, Mei Daoist’s eyes narrowed, involuntarily giving a gasp.

But ultimately, as a Nascent Soul Cultivator, quickly recovered, deeply breathing and bowing: "Mei Yun lacked insight, please forgive elder!"

"You speak too heavily, friend."

Shen Hex smiled lightly: "But swords can have no eyes, there will be impact, friend may lead disciples to retreat first."

"Thank you, elder!"

Mei Daoist listened, could only comply, leading everyone aboard the Golden Ship of Calamity.

Gux Shenxiu, behind him, glanced at Shen Hex and those behind him, Zhong Yuxiu and others on the peak, couldn’t help asking the South Sea Earth Nun beside him: "Is he Li Qingming..."

"Be cautious in speech!"

Before finishing, interrupted, it was Mei Daoist turning back, gravely speaking: "Should call him Master!"

"Master?"

Gux Shenxiu froze, perplexed.

He’s from Xuanxiao Mountain, though an inland sect, has close ties overseas, well aware of the weight "Master" carries.

The truth in "Master" comes from True Immortal, Divinity Transformation merely the minimum requirement, strength must be overwhelming, virtuous and respected, possessing an aura of True Immortal, then can earn this epithet.

Currently, within Taiyuan Realm, only seven are titled Master, they’re leaders of the Mystic Sect, the Seven Taiyuan Cultivators.

This Li Qingming decades ago was still in Nascent Soul Cultivation, albeit having achieved sword-slaying-three-demons in Profound Void Secret Realm, but decades advancing just Rookie Divinity Transformation, how can he compare with Mystic Sect’s leading, magic-suppressing Seven Taiyuan Cultivators?

Gux Shenxiu’s mind was puzzled.

But Mei Daoist didn’t elaborate, steering the Golden Ship of Calamity three thousand miles further.

Master?

Of course, call him Master.

This is a fierce person breaking Nine-Nine Undying Celestial Tribulation with a single sword!

If he’s not called Master, who else can be called Master?

Inland Cultivation Realm, how can someone like this emerge, becoming the master of one of the Two Yuxius.

Could there be another change in heaven and earth?
