Chapter 927 The Ancient Sword Immortal's Legacy (Part 2)
The mountain area occupied by the Iron-Backed Dragon King had long been carved open by countless demons, stretching for hundreds of miles across the land, and was a continuous gathering place for demons.

Depending on the species, this demon mountain is divided into different areas, and the environment has been changed by demonic magic. For example, rat demons and insect demons live underground, bird demons and tree demons live on the mountaintop, and fierce beasts such as bears, wolves, tigers and leopards surround the demon king's palace, while cattle, sheep and pigs live on the outer perimeter.

With the naked eye alone, one can only see endless monsters filling the mountains and valleys, living just like humans.

However, upon sensing the connection, the countless demons had already become one, their demonic energy resonating with each other, like a giant dragon lurking in the mountains.

The Demon King's methods are hidden within.

Su Che stood in the sky, breathing slowly. The primordial energy of heaven and earth had been distorted by the Iron-Backed Demon King.

The endless hordes of demons, and even this world, have all been stained with the colors of the Iron-Backed Dragon King; in other words, they have become part of this wicked dragon.

There are thirty-six such demon kings in the endless Hundred Thousand Mountains. Although their lineages are different, some are biased towards Buddhism and some seek enlightenment from the Xuanzong sect, but their general strategies are the same.

The ancient path of demon gods has not disappeared; it has merely taken on a different form, stubbornly taking root and sprouting in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

"Say hello."

The green gourd in Su Che's hand slowly slipped out and floated into the sky.

The gourd rose higher and higher, until it reached the lower part of the Nine Heavens, above the heavy clouds.

"what is that?"

Su Che used certain techniques on the green gourd, the sophistication of which exceeded Jin Yunu's sensing limit. This former head of the Eight Meridians of the Longevity Sect and a Void Step in the Demonic Sect could not sense the mystery within it at all.

"It's the sun."

Su Che stretched out his right hand, pinched his thumb, index finger, and middle finger together in mid-air, and the sword mark covering the gourd quietly disappeared, the uncontrollable power inside completely exploding.

Pure heat and flame.

A wisp of true solar fire, refined by Su Che, exploded in the air, transforming into a flawless circle of light that swooped down towards the mountains below.

Heat and fire.

Under the evolution of the laws of heaven and earth, that wisp of true solar fire could not maintain its "perfect" existence and continued to expand, transforming from a small, large sun into a cloud of red that destroyed everything.

The first thing to be destroyed was the rainbow formed by the endless breathing of demonic energy, and the countless demons beneath it.

A desolate horn sounded, and amidst the clamor and noise, Su Che could sense that the monstrous dragon composed of countless demonic beasts below was awakening.

"Such pure and potent Great Sun Fire."

Jin Yunu looked at the expanding fiery cloud and felt the destructive power within it. Suddenly, she felt as if she was having some kind of reaction.

This power... is pure and vast, making one yearn to absorb it within oneself and possess it completely...

"The principles of Yin and Yang are ever-changing and wondrous. The sun is the source of life for all things, but it is also the absolute force of destruction. Between birth and death, the most important thing is the balance."

Su Che watched the changing shape of the fiery orb in the sky.

The Great Sun Nine Profound True Method is a lineage within the Yellow Heaven Dao that is on par with the Zhou Absolute Yin Heaven Secret Record, and it is also a fundamental classic of the Six Dragons Returning to the Sun True Technique.

At this moment, Su Che had already mastered this inheritance to a certain level, and was only one step away from completing it, just like the Zhou Jue Yin Tian Secret Manual.

When that day comes, it will also be the day when he breaks through the barriers in his understanding of Yin and Yang and reaches a higher level.

As the flames descended, a chill swept across the world.

A dragon's roar rose from the ground.

"Great Sun True Fire, what kind of fellow Daoist is this, daring to joke with me, the old dragon?"

The primordial energy of heaven and earth gradually condensed amidst the dragon's roar, transforming into a solid city wall. The coldness was merely its outward appearance; at its core, someone was using their magical power to construct a pure defense, isolating the Great Sun True Fire descending from the sky. This was a contest of magical power.

The roar of the dragon shook the valley, and countless demons in the mountains looked up to the sky and howled, praising the Dragon King's boundless power.

In Su Che's perception, this praise also resonated within the primordial energy of heaven and earth, becoming an aid for the Iron-Backed Dragon King in controlling the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

Wonderful.

The ancient demon god's way and the human god's method are indeed connected.

Su Che understood that the gods of the mortal realm relied on their believers to exert their magical power on the primordial energy of heaven and earth. At this moment, the countless monsters in the mountains were like the followers of the Iron-Backed Dragon King, providing him with devout faith.

"When you reach the end of the watercourse, sit and watch the clouds rise. The path to immortality is not far; even white bones will bloom with flowers."

A demonic sound echoed in the sky.

Su Che opened his dark demonic eye between his brows, and with this as his guide, streams of demonic sounds swept down from the heavens and earth's energy towards the endless demons below the mountain.

Inside the cave, the Iron-Backed Dragon King held a blue-white jade cup in his hand, squinting as he gazed at the sky.

His demonic body was enormous, like a small mountain, and his body was covered with scales that looked like weapons. In front of him, a grand banquet was being held, and a demon dressed as a wealthy young master sat not far away from him.

It was Hai Gongzi, who had a conflict with Su Che.

Not far from Hai Gongzi were Hua Gu and Nong Yue, the two female cultivators from the Demonic Sect, who sat at the lower end, each drinking wine and eating meat.

Beside them were four or five demonic creatures at the Core Formation level, who were the leaders under the command of the Iron-Backed Dragon King.

"Such demonic methods seem to be aimed at a certain young man."

The Iron-Backed Dragon King looked at the Sea Prince beside him.

"This demonic sound originates from the human heart and specifically targets the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance. At best, it causes the inner demon to enter the body; at worst, it directly corrupts the person, turning them into a member of the Yin Demon."

Nongyue said softly, "Today's Yang Marrow cultivation is on a higher level than when we fought last time. I suppose you must have gained something else."

The Iron-Backed Dragon King remained silent, lost in thought.

Hua Gu continued, "This person has the blessing of the Demon Lord who has obtained the Dharma to destroy all demons, and he is also supported by the Heaven of Sorrow and Wrath. This time, he broke out of the realm of hungry ghosts and is regarded as the future pillar of our demonic sect. Now, in the outer void, he is called 'Young Master You', and is ranked alongside 'Young Master Chi' Xue Qingluo, 'Young Master Ye' Ying Qianqiu, and 'Young Master Du Fan Xuese'."

"How could the Dragon King have made such an enemy?"

“What you say is indeed true, young master. The Yang marrow of the Longevity Sect has no capacity to tolerate others.”

"Among the Hundred Thousand Mountains, there are thirty-six Void Step Demon Kings. If they could unite as one, they would be a force capable of shaking heaven and earth."

Hai Gongzi chuckled softly.

Ironback Dragon King slowly shook his head. Thirty-six Void Step Demon Kings were hardly worthy of shaking heaven and earth. However, with the support of the father behind Young Master Hai, there might still be a chance.

"If we fight each other, even a mere sect like the Longevity Cult would dare to bully you. If we weren't here this time, how would you plan to deal with it?"

Upon hearing this, the Iron-Backed Dragon King burst into loud laughter.

"I will naturally humbly beg Master Yang to show mercy."

"I'm afraid he'll take this opportunity to cause trouble. You probably won't get any benefit from Huai Taisu's cave."

"When you're under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head. He's doing well now, so I'll give him some leeway."

As he spoke, he stretched out his body and rushed towards the sky.

"If Master Yang forgives me, I, Tiebei, will come to pay my respects."
