Immortality begins with meditation puppets

The sea witch passed away peacefully.

Su Qing did not give it a chance to live.

At least it didn't give it a chance to get worse!
The merit-making wooden fish was operating at full power and at full capacity, and the five Taoist patterns and light spots transformed into a dazzling galaxy that gathered in my mind.

[The Dao Pattern of the Five Elders—the Dao Pattern of Jiuli—has been improved to 97% completeness, making it the first master of this Dao Pattern.]

[Proficiency increased to: Tier 5 (Ancient Witch Physique, Dragon-Capturing Power)]

[Enhanced Health Benefits: As a being born with divine powers, one can absorb the spiritual energy of vast distances with a single breath, increasing the efficiency of absorbing qi and blood energy a hundredfold. They are particularly adept at drawing upon the spiritual energy of the external world to replenish their own internal resources (though this is not favored by Heaven; without the protection of meritorious deeds, or if cursed by Heaven, misfortune may befall them).]

[Combat Proficiency Enhancement: A warrior, a warrior spirit, fights without end, from birth to death. The effectiveness of cultivated combat techniques is increased a hundredfold, and the effects of unleashed combat techniques are increased several times. (Received the Witchcraft Dragon-Capturing Hunting Technique and the Witchcraft Demon-Capturing and Embryo-Breeding Method.)]

[Blood Slaughter Effect Enhancement: A man of blood and spirit, though impoverished, remains steadfast in his ambition. If one axe cannot cleave the heavens, then ten, a hundred, ten thousand axes will sever the barriers that bind him. Each attack can stack power, up to a total of 999 stacks. A single axe strike of explosive power can slay gods and immortals. (Inherited from the Witchcraft Combat Technique—Mind-Clearing Axe.)]

[Enhanced Zhuyou Effect: A true man stands tall between heaven and earth, surveying the world with unparalleled arrogance. Why should he consult heaven and earth? He can strike the heavens with his body to obtain the secrets of heaven. The accuracy rate is greatly improved (but striking heaven and earth with one's head is harmful to heaven and oneself, displeasing heaven and diminishing merit.)]

[The completeness of the Jiuli Dao Patterns has been increased to 97%, and information on all Jiuli Dao Pattern holders across the heavens is reflected in my mind: the Jiuli people hold a total of 2.15% (distributed throughout the Tianyuan Realm), and the Divine Abomination Giant Corpse holds 0.85% (Tianyuan Giant Corpse Island).]

It felt like flying into the sky, shoulder to shoulder with the great sun and blue sky.

With feet firmly planted on the ground and head reaching for the blue sky, he was truly a magnificent giant who stood tall and upright. When there was nothing to do, he would cause trouble with other giants of his own kind. When there was trouble, he would pick up ancient trees to make spears and clubs. When he was hungry, he would devour roc birds and phoenixes. When he was thirsty, he would scoop up the nectar of the Jade Pool.

Like a spoiled brat who lacks manners and upbringing, and is disliked by everyone.

During that cataclysmic calamity, he wielded a blood-red giant axe and fought against twelve high-ranking demons in the vast western desert. After finally annihilating eleven demons, his physical body returned to heaven and earth, and his essence returned to the mountains and rivers. He used his body to condense Dao patterns, suppressing the last demon for thousands of years until the end of time.

The fleeting illusion felt like a personal experience.

When Su Qing broke free from the illusion.

He also understood the origin of various Dao patterns.

The Great Dao, numbering in the thousands, is the fundamental order and component of the universe and all realms.

In ancient times, great masters and sages devoted themselves to cultivation, comprehended the mysteries of heaven and earth, and gained insights that allowed them to condense Dao patterns and name them.

Later generations followed the clues and could understand the cultivation and enlightenment of ancient masters from the Dao patterns, and inherit the various methods created by them.

“Each Dao pattern embodies the essence of the legacy passed down from our predecessors and is forged with their will. Although ancient Dao lineages are few and far between in the present world, the Dao patterns scattered throughout Tianyuan are brilliant treasures left by our predecessors to cultivators in the present world!”

Upholding the aspirations of our predecessors, and now that we have been imbued with the Daoist runes of the Nine Li, we should naturally complete the regrets that our predecessors could not fulfill.

He slew the twelfth demon, who had escaped from his axe and reappeared to stir up trouble in the world, on this land where his predecessors had fought, continuing the bloody battle that had never ended.

Of course, we need to get the Xingtian Blood Axe first.

The main reason is that he just obtained the Mind-Unblocking Axe, which is comparable to immortal and divine arts. If he doesn't get his hands on this axe now, his mind will not be clear.

It seemed to happen in just a moment.

The dragon-man demon that Tong Chang had previously found very troublesome, and the sea witch who could have killed him after transforming into a demon, were both easily dealt with by Su Qing.

Meanwhile, Tong Chang was still fighting to the death with the giant, divine corpses, using his wits and courage to outwit them.

A sense of frustration welled up inside him, and he just wanted to lie down and let Su Qing deal with these giant corpses while he was at it. He could just stay in the Bixi area of ​​Long Island and wait for Su Qing to finish his business. There was no room for Tong Chang to make a move on this giant corpse island!

He hadn't even said he wanted to lie down yet.

Then Su Qing shouted.

"Fellow Daoist Tong, the Great Demon is still beneath the Blood Lake. I will go and subdue the demon now, and leave the rest to you!"

Ah, you're leaving it to me?
Asu, are you serious?

Tong Chang was about to say that he couldn't do it, but it was too late. In the time it took to say that, Su Qing, who thought he could definitely do it, had already led Luo Han Xiong Er and Lu Wu Hu Dan into the blood lake.

······
When Su Qing received the Dao patterns, he already knew that the so-called Giant Axe Lake was created by Xing Tian's Blood Axe crashing into the earth.

Hidden in the earth for millennia, the surging energy within it unconsciously bursts forth, giving life to the land and its inhabitants.

The sea witch had long coveted the Xingtian Blood Axe, but since it was an incarnation of evil markings, even though it controlled the Nine Li tribe, it was difficult for the Xingtian Blood Axe to recognize it. So she tried to use the grievances of countless Nine Li tribesmen to infuse her with the blood of the Nine Li people to gain the trust of the Xingtian Blood Axe, so that it would recognize the thief as its father and be used by it.

The sea witch's original plan was perfect: to sacrifice the island's inhabitants to unleash the bloodthirsty nature of Xing Tian's Blood Axe. It would then possess the giant corpse of the divine monstrous creature to retrieve the axe from the lake. At that time, a great calamity would ensue, and it, wielding the Blood Axe, would be the one to initiate it.

Unfortunately, it was unaware that the life essence sacrificed to Giant Axe Lake not only activated Xing Tian's Blood Axe, but also activated the four high-ranking demons—who had been sealed on this island for thousands of years by the Nine Li Dao Patterns.

The demon was cunning. He first infected Long Fengxian with a demonic seed, and then had Long Fengxian use the Dao Tian demonic seed to create the Animal Dao Chain to subdue the sea witch.

Its true form has been guarding the Xingtian Blood Axe at the bottom of the lake, waiting for the axe to fully revive. It will first devour the creation of the Nine Li Dao Patterns of the Sea Witch, and then reside within the Xingtian Blood Axe to replenish the foundation lost after being sealed for thousands of years. It will then transform this world into a demonic land and use billions of living beings to forge its Heavenly Demon Transcendence Great Dao.

It just didn't expect that.

The sea witch was subdued by it.

However, Su Qing snatched the peach from her, and, claiming to be an even more legitimate heir to the Xingtian Blood Axe than the Sea Witch, came to this lake to compete with her for control of the Xingtian Blood Axe. The Blood Lake is over a million feet deep, seemingly connected to the Western Sea. Entering it, one's physical body feels as if it is bearing the weight of ten thousand pounds, and one's divine sense is as if it is trapped in quagmire, unable to extend far outward.

It is unknown what kind of methods those four demons used, but Su Qing, who could project his divine sense more than a thousand feet away from the bottom of the Western Sea, was like a blind man touching an elephant after falling into this blood lake, only able to see three or five feet ahead.

With his current robust and strong physique, he was not afraid of the increasingly thick and viscous blood as he went deeper. However, although Luohan Xiong Er and Lu Wu Hu Dan had reached the fourth level in terms of software, their hardware was still insufficient because Su Qing had always been short of money and had not had time to replace their equipment. Therefore, after diving three to five hundred thousand feet, the two puppets could not hold on. Helpless, Su Qing had no choice but to put them into his storage bag first.

Without Xiong Er's protection or Hu Dan's courage, he was all alone exploring this deep, sunless blood lake, not knowing what kind of tricks the high-ranking demons below had prepared for him at the bottom of the lake.

Su Qing admitted that Jiuli Daowen had misjudged him. He, Su Qing, was not like that ancient Jiuli shaman who braved wind and rain, who could fight against thousands of troops and clear the way with his life and axe.

Su Qing was born timid, and now he was even more afraid of being tricked by the old evil demon. He only dared to take out his storage bag and emptied out more than a hundred Deepwater Tyrants.

The powerful demon was lying in wait at the bottom of the lake, but Su Qing was no innocent little rabbit. He would let it see the wisdom of future human cultivators!
Deploying the Deepwater Tyrant is very simple.

Although his divine sense was suppressed at the bottom of the lake, preventing him from seeing very far, the Xingtian Blood Axe beneath the lake was still radiating a fierce divine power. Su Qing could easily sense its location. It seemed that the superior demon wanted to wait for him to come to him, and the demonic seed's origin must also be guarding the Xingtian Blood Axe.

Firing at the location of Xing Tian's Blood Axe is definitely the right thing to do.

One by one, the Deepwater Tyrants, heavy as small mountains and resembling steel giants, were launched into the sea. When designing and refining these Deepwater Tyrants, Su Qing had taken into account the problem of deep-sea pressure, so he equipped them with excellent pressure-resistant materials.

However, this superior demon has used some unknown means in this blood lake, and the water pressure in this lake cannot be measured by ordinary standards. In order to prevent the Deepwater Tyrant from disintegrating and detonating prematurely before reaching the designated position, Su Qing had to activate the Mountain and Sea True Qi Force to wrap a layer of Qi film around them, so that they would not have the hidden danger of disintegrating prematurely.

Bang!
The first Deepwater Tyrant quickly reached its designated location and detonated successfully.

The explosion caused the blood lake to churn, with streams of dark currents surging from the bottom, carrying blood and black mist, and pieces of black cloth were blasted upwards.

Su Qing picked up a piece of cloth and examined it closely. The cloth was printed with bird and beast patterns, which was obviously an ancient artifact. It seemed to have the power of runes, but it was not quite the same as the rune system that was circulating in the world. However, it should be something like a demonic soul banner or a formation flag.

"The demon is indeed cunning. This old thing, who knows how many years it has lived, actually set up a soul banner formation below to target a novice like me in the cultivation world!"

The evil is despicable, so Su Qing is not to blame for being ruthless.

The first Deepwater Tyrant blast made the demon below's head buzz, and then the second and third blasts exploded one after another in the depths of the lake like a series of cannon fire.

Su Qing was not yet aware of how the demons at the bottom of the lake felt, due to the limitations of his divine sense.

Even though he was hundreds of thousands of feet away from the lake, he could feel the water temperature rising dramatically. The explosive power of the hundreds of Deepwater Tyrants, each branded with fourth-order spirit explosion runes, caused every drop of water in the lake to spark and crackle. Even he, in the middle of the Blood Lake, found it hard to bear. He just couldn't believe that the four demons could stay at the bottom of the lake.

He leaped into the water and rushed out of the lake, releasing Tiger Egg and Bear Two to land on either side of him as his left and right protectors. Seeing that the water level of the lake had dropped by more than a thousand feet due to the explosion, and that the high-level demon below was still able to hold on at the bottom of the blood lake, Su Qing admired the old man's ability to endure. At the same time, he took out Deepwater Tyrant from his storage bag and continued to throw bombs.

After this batch is blasted, he can urgently refine some Deepwater Tyrants on the shore. In short, he won't stop making Deepwater Tyrants until he forces this superior demon out of the Blood Lake today.

Rumble!
Explosions rang out incessantly. Tong Laodao, who was engaged in a chaotic battle with the giant corpses of the gods in the distance, turned around and saw that the blood in the blood lake had been blasted into the sky by Su Qing. He knew that Su Qing wanted to choose the battlefield for him and had set the battlefield on the surface of the lake.

Without any hesitation, the old Taoist slapped two summoning talismans onto his body, inviting the spirits to possess him. He then led the hundred-plus giant corpse demons further and further away, until they reached the edge of the island. After they were more than a hundred miles away from the blood lake, the old Taoist was still worried. With a heavy heart, he took out a fourth-tier golden light talisman from his storage bag and slapped it onto his body to prevent himself from being caught in the crossfire and being taken advantage of by the demon. Only then did he feel at ease waiting to watch the demon come ashore and have a passionate duel with his little brother Su Qing.

Anyone who has survived the bombardment of the Deepwater Tyrant knows that this puppet only seeks to inflict damage. Its materials possess various effects such as explosiveness, armor penetration, and spirit annihilation. If one were to be bombarded by a single Deepwater Tyrant, even a fourth-tier Nascent Soul cultivator might not be able to withstand it, let alone the bombardment of more than a hundred Deepwater Tyrants.

The four demons are also seasoned veterans.

The biggest advantage of the old villain compared to the young villain is that he knows how to be patient.

These four demons were born at the height of the demon tide, and at that time they felt that they were destined to be born, regarding all living beings, heaven and earth, mountains and seas as nothing.

Until he encountered the ancient witch Jiuli, under whose blood axe he came to understand reality and learned that this world had risen and fallen countless times over the years, and had nurtured countless extraordinary individuals.

Out of reverence for this world, he remained hidden after his resurrection, guarding the Xing Tian Blood Axe beneath the Blood Lake.

To ensure absolute safety, the Ten Directions Annihilation Divine Soul Technique and the Blood Demon Soul-Slaying and Seed-Possessing Array were also set up at the bottom of the lake.

Thus, even though it has only recently awakened and has not yet devoured too many living beings' souls and essences, and its cultivation is no longer at its peak, the various arrangements at the bottom of this lake will prevent the Xing Tian Blood Axe from falling.

It is incredibly patient. Even after Su Qing killed the dragon-man demon and converted the sea witch who regarded it as her own, and took the Nine Li Dao patterns for herself, the four demons gritted their teeth and reminded themselves not to forget the lessons of the past. Before they could possess the Xing Tian Blood Axe, they had to endure things that ordinary people could not endure.

Seeing Su Qing recklessly leap into the blood lake, the four demons admitted that they had been too optimistic at the time.

I thought this kid was walking right into my trap. Once he entered my encirclement, I could not only obtain the Nine Li Dao Patterns on his body, but also his vigorous blood and qi, which made me restless even across a lake millions of feet deep, would be a great tonic to make up for the losses I had suffered over the years.

I never imagined that this young man from later generations would be so vicious.

They entered the lake, but not completely.

Only in the middle of the lake did iron lumps fall.

The iron lump had no trace of life, and in the perception of the four demons, it was just like a piece of earth, wood, or stone, showing no power whatsoever before it exploded.

But the explosion made its demonic heart unstable, to the point of being on the verge of death!
Although high-ranking demons are formless and shapeless, they must possess tangible objects in order to manifest themselves and exert their power in the mortal world.

After the four demons awoke, in addition to using Xing Tian's Blood Axe as a vessel to possess, they first inhabited this lake of blood. This is why Su Qing felt that the blood in this lake was different from ordinary things when he entered it.

The Deepwater Tyrant exploded at the bottom of the lake, which was equivalent to it exploding inside the four demons. Of course, it was blown away and made them cry out in agony.

With the four demons' hearts unstable, who knows how many more Deepwater Tyrants Su Qing can send?
But it had reached its breaking point, where it could no longer tolerate anything!
"Beast! You think you can force me to show myself? I'm right here before you, let's see what tricks you have up your sleeve!" (End of Chapter)
