Chapter 781 775: True and False Nine Phoenixes, Battle of Kindred Paths
The Nine Phoenix Demon Monarch arrived at the cave, only to see a scene of ruins and desolation.
The Formation of the Cave was completely destroyed, and the planted Immortal Elixirs, domesticated Magical Beasts, and numerous treasures were all gone.
The culprit was picking through the rubble as if visiting their own private garden, occasionally showing a look of disdain, seemingly disapproving of their own treasure's quality.
In the distance, there were other Demon Monarchs watching from afar, only daring to observe from a distance, not one dared to step forward to stop it.
No one could intervene with someone destroying their own Formation...
This indifference completely vanished after the second Nine Phoenix Demon Monarch appeared.
Two Nine Phoenix Demon Monarchs?
Who was real and who was fake?
The two Nine Phoenix Demon Monarchs were identical, whether it was their aura or the Power of Laws they emitted, both were indistinguishable, making it hard to distinguish the real from the fake.
The Demon Monarchs were not fools; the false Nine Phoenix Demon Monarch destroying the cave's Formation was extremely conspicuous.
Gazes shifted to the 'Nine Phoenix Demon Monarch' still browsing in the ruins, and then back to the newcomer, eyes filled with both fear and an unspeakable dread.
They did not stop the false Nine Phoenix Demon Monarch from destroying the cave, and even donated blood for free... Regardless of the outcome afterward, they couldn't avoid punishment.
In an instant, the Demon Monarchs all turned their eyes filled with rage towards the fake, not hiding their murderous intent.
This was their only chance to show themselves, and they absolutely couldn't miss it.
"Brother, you're back?" Jia Ren felt the Nine Phoenix Demon Monarch's aura and warmly turned to greet him.
Those unaware might think the two birds were twin brothers born as one.
The Demon Monarchs were momentarily stunned, carefully recalling that the Nine Phoenix Demon Saint did not have a second offspring at the Demon Monarch Level.
Times have changed; Demon Immortals' strength has solidified, and they do not have the qualification to advance further.
"This Monarch wants you dead!"
The Nine Phoenix Demon Monarch was already furious and charged to attack first.
The other Demon Monarchs followed and charged, and the two huge figures first collided.
The Demon Monarchs who were just about to take action were baffled, watching the two Nine Phoenix Demon Monarchs fighting together, unable to discern which was real and which was fake.
For a moment, they didn't know how to strike.
What if they hit the wrong person?
"You useless bunch! Hurry and join me in slaying this impostor!"
Jia Ren turned his head and shouted angrily at the distant Demon Monarchs, then distanced himself to avoid being accidentally injured.
The Demon Monarchs heard the familiar scolding, and suddenly woke up as if from a dream, and all took action.
A torrent of Divine Skills, like a flood, crashed down upon the Nine Phoenix Demon Monarch.
The Nine Phoenix Demon Monarch was about to cry from being beaten by his own subordinates...
His subordinates had turned into sharp spears attacking himself.
He didn't expect much from them, but at least, don't hold me back!!!
Around him, black feathers formed an impenetrable black flowing robe, invulnerable to all methods, as laws collided, existing and extinguishing, unable to destroy this Immortal Artifact and injure the Nine Phoenix Demon Monarch.
This was undoubtedly a Supreme-grade Immortal Artifact!
Surely, as the offspring of the Demon Saint, the treasures exceeded ordinary imagination.
"You trash, all get out of my sight!"
If this group continued to fight, when he wasn't killed by the enemy, he would first be angered to death by them.
The Demon Monarchs saw the Heavenly Feather Flowing Immortal Robe, knew they had been fooled, and all looked towards the counterfeit Nine Phoenix Demon Monarch.
Jia Ren flapped his wings and flew into the sky, all nine heads mocking, as if silently saying everyone present was an idiot.
The Nine Phoenix Demon Monarch looked at the face as if seeing himself in a mirror, thinking about him ruining his reputation while wearing his face, and became instantly furious.
"Flowing Immortal Blade Rain!"
The Domain of Law expanded, instantly covering a hundred thousand miles.
Black feathers, like lightning, shot out, and in a blink, the world transformed into a world of black feathers.
Every feather was stained with the Indestructible Principle, carrying the power of the Supreme-grade Immortal Artifact.
Black fiery feathers scattered over, the blade rain spread to every area, leaving no blind spot.
They rotated endlessly, indestructible, until the target was smashed to bits.
Countless blades of feathers fell, piercing through the still mocking body, and the other broke apart like a bubble, disappearing without a trace.
The Feather of Destruction scattered, but no trace of the opponent was seen.
No matter how strong the attack method, it must hit the target, the opponent had already slipped away at some point.
Jia Ren deceived the Demon Monarchs into taking action, and during the 'internal conflict', quietly switched to the illusionary laws of the Nine-tailed Fox, leaving behind a fake body for deception.
Having gained enough benefits, it was time to make a getaway.
Not knowing what other cards the Demon Saint's offspring had, he could not afford to fall into a trap.
This trip has gained enough benefits, and it was time to head back.
After Jia Ren quietly slipped away, he used the Law of Extreme Speed to leave the Heavenly Marsh Domain far behind.
No matter how angry the Nine Phoenix Demon Monarch was, he couldn't possibly chase him to the Donghua Immortal Domain to hunt him down...
At the same time, no matter how much the Nine Phoenix Demon Monarch searched, he couldn't find Jia Ren, leaving no trace at all.
The opponent wouldn't fight him head-on, didn't have the absolute power to crush him, nor had the means to restrict the Law of Extreme Speed, it was impossible to capture the opponent.
The rage was stuck in his heart with nowhere to vent.
The Nine Phoenix Demon Monarch, as if guided by an unseen force, arrived at the territory of the Poison Toad Demon Monarch.
"Lord, did you ever slaughter that demon bear?"
The raging black flames filled the sky, roasting the Poison Toad Demon Monarch into a dried toad.
If it weren't for your instigation, would this Monarch be so aggrieved?
Unable to resolve the escapee, could he not even kill you?!
Jia Ren was unaware that the Poison Toad Demon Monarch, who secretly plotted against him, reaped the consequences and quelled the Nine Phoenix Demon Monarch's fury.
He flew to the border of the Heavenly Marsh Domain, heading towards the Donghua Immortal Domain.
A white long nose shot towards Jia Ren like lightning, projecting a powerful threat.
Jia Ren's body contracted, flying in a direction contrary to reason, evading the stealth attack.
The long nose twisted, transforming into thousands, each wrapping straight towards him.
Each nostril emitted a sucking force, an invisible and strange power, attempting to forcibly draw him into a dream.
He multitasked, the Divine Wheel igniting the invading Divine Soul's power.
However, the extreme speed Jia Ren prided himself on fell into a quagmire, dramatically slowing down, leaving him helpless as the long nose approached.
The Law of Extreme Speed disappeared, and the Thousand Transformations Rule turned into other powers of law. In the next moment, a large quantity of green liquid sprayed out from his palm.
"Corrosion!"
Each length of the nose absorbed the green liquid, immediately becoming pitted and covered with corrosive holes, with large patches of black-red flesh falling from the sky.
Faint white light circulated above the long nose, encountering its nemesis, the green liquid completely vanished.
The nose's stealth attack had no effect and swiftly retreated.
Jia Ren's gaze followed, looking at the beast with a short nose.
Elephant nose, rhino eyes, bull tail, and tiger feet, exuding the aura of the Immortal Monarch Realm, seemingly merged with the trees.
Dream-Eating Tapir!
The demon's eyes burned with unimaginable heat and a strong sense of possession.
"The news was right; it's indeed a law from the same source."
"My lord has been waiting for you for a long time!"
As Jia Ren stared at the demon, his eyes held a trace of wonder: "Thousand Transformations Rule!"
Before the Immortal Realm changed, those who mastered powers of law from the same source could be called fellow cultivators.
As long as they hadn't reached the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, competing for the Great Dao, their relationships were decent, and they could sit together and discuss the Dao.
Now, immortals, demons, and spirits cannot obtain the power of law from the heavens and earth; the Immortal Realm is limited, not by cultivation level and talent but by the power of law.
Seizing the law from the same source becomes the nourishment for one's progress.
"Isn't the power of law given only voluntarily? Does my friend have a way to seize the law from me?"
Jia Ren stared at the Dream-Eating Tapir, a cold light also flashing in his eyes.
"Heh heh, no need for such trouble, just killing you will suffice." The Dream-Eating Tapir's figure flickered, transforming into a man wearing a gray robe, with eyes that turned white.
"Bizarre Immortal?"
Other people have means to trace the source of the law.
Once dead, the law's power will return to the world; no matter how fast one acts, they cannot capture all of the power of law.
Bizarre Immortals don't care if the power of law is polluted; after all, it is the power they desire after pollution.
Jia Ren's left eye was crimson, his right eye like a black abyss, staring at the newcomer, trying to determine his identity.
Despite utilizing his Divine Skills, he couldn't sense even a trace of eerie aura.
Either his guess was wrong, or the other's concealment technique was so strong that he couldn't decipher it.
"Candle Abyss Demon Pupil, your skills are outstanding, no wonder you can fool the Nine Phoenix Demon Monarch."
"However, since my lord has made a move, naturally there's a countermeasure!"
Once confirmed as the enemy, the Golden-Winged Peng Bird flapped its wings, suddenly flashing, already flying to this person.
The golden feathers were covered with a dark black hue, transforming into a celestial blade that tore through the firmament, leaving behind a boundless expanse of spatial darkness.
Light flashed briefly, instantly slashing towards the unknown demon monarch.
"Asura Sky Corpse!"
A tall corpse person emitting a cold aura stood before the Dream-Eating Tapir Demon Lord, the corpse skin covered in moss, its ink-colored patterns seemingly weathered by time.
The golden feathers flashed momentarily, heavily slashing at the Asura Sky Corpse.
Boom!
Feather blade and corpse collided, producing a tooth-grating sound, paired with the power of Body Repository and Heaven and Earth One Slash, the attack's lethality was extremely terrifying.
But...
The feather blade couldn't shatter the corpse of the unknown ancient corpse, only able to tear the corpse skin slightly, leaving a very shallow wound despite full effort.
The arms of the Asura Ancient Corpse swung, an overwhelming force surged forth, blasting the Golden-Winged Peng Bird away.
Like a bullet shot from a barrel, it crashed through countless trees at astonishing speed, leaving behind a furrow on the ground, stretching over a hundred miles.
Friction between the body and the earth was negligible; the wing bones in the area of the contact with the ancient corpse shattered, hanging down powerlessly.
"Able to break the defense of the Asura Sky Corpse, you're remarkable, even among the Immortal Monarch level you're top tier."
Jia Ren instantly grasped the unspoken meaning in the other's words.
The Asura Sky Corpse is... combat power at the Daluo Golden Immortal Level!
Who exactly is this person?
How can he command a Daluo Golden Immortal?
The Asura Sky Corpse appeared lifeless, seemingly without intelligence, merely being controlled and directed, without reason.
"End the battle! Kill him!"
"Obtaining the power of the Thousand Transformations Rule, my lord can advance further, ascending to Daluo!"
The Dream-Eating Tapir Demon Monarch snapped his fingers lightly, refraining from giving Jia Ren further explanation.
The broken feathers recovered completely, and he resolutely flapped his wings, making a hasty retreat.
The Asura Sky Corpse reached out towards the fleeing Golden-Winged Peng Bird, five fingers flashing with strange power.
"Maha Unlimited!"
