I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 876 We are truly destined to meet!

Seeing this, Gu Yuanqing couldn't help but smile.

It's true what they say, enemies are destined to meet!

After the battle, although he never went to the Nine Realms Divine Continent, he probably knew that these demon lords had suffered heavy losses and would most likely retreat to the Demon Abyss.

Due to the special circumstances of the Demon Abyss, Gu Yuanqing did not want to get involved in karma and had no way to deal with it, but unexpectedly encountered it again here.

Although he could only sense it from afar, Gu Yuanqing could still tell that this clone was quite weak. Although it was still at the level of a Void Immortal, it was only slightly stronger than the clone of the Demon King of No End.

This is not surprising, actually. The Giant Demon King had been suppressed by Gu Yuanqing twice. The first time was fine, but the one in the Immaculate Zen Forest was carrying half of its original demonic seed.

These losses drastically reduced its strength, and naturally, it dared not create too many clones.

He could roughly guess that the reason it was here was probably because of the Nine-Headed Owl.

Back then, Gu Yuanqing severely injured the Nine-Headed Demon Owl and followed its aura to the Nine Domains Divine Continent. However, its aura subsequently became hidden, making it difficult to find.

With Gu Yuanqing severely injuring the three-headed demon lord, and considering the numerous Void Immortal cultivators in the Nine Domains Divine Continent, coupled with the possibility of Gu Yuanqing's emergence as a variable, it has become difficult for the Heavenly Demon to launch another demonic calamity.

These demon lords, needing resources for themselves, naturally sought them outwards, which naturally led to the events of today.

The Nine-Headed Demon Owl is rapidly approaching the Giant Demon Lord.

The location of the Giant Demon Lord is a huge, strange rock floating in the void.

The nine-headed demon owl lay prostrate on the ground.

"Lord!"

The Demon Lord opened his eyes and said indifferently, "Speak."

"I have investigated the human defenses at several nearby rift nodes and have not found any power above the Undying Chaos level. However, humans are cunning, and I'm afraid there may be experts hiding among them. Among them, the defenses of Guangling City seem to be the weakest because the guardian was injured in yesterday's attack by the Abyss of Filth," said the Nine-Headed Demon Owl.

The Demon Lord of Giant Abyss said, "This human realm is not simple either. Although Huiyuan is weaker, he is still at the Demon Lord level, yet his origin is damaged. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so easily devoured by my avatar. By the way, you have been in this realm for many years. Do you know which world this lineage of Heavenly Demons comes from?"

The nine-headed demon owl said, "Back then, I also tried to track them down, but all my efforts were in vain."

The Demon Lord of the Giant Abyss stood up: "This world must be quite large to be able to nurture a Void Immortal Heavenly Demon and such a large army of Heavenly Demons. If we occupy this world and that world together, even if there are problems in the Nine Domains Divine Continent, it will not be a big deal."

Upon hearing this, the nine-headed demon owl lowered its head even further, its voice seemingly filled with fervor: "Your Majesty is wise! If you can control both worlds simultaneously, Your Majesty's demonic power will surely be even greater, and you may even have a chance to glimpse the realm of the supreme demon lord! Your subordinate is willing to follow Your Majesty for all eternity, to pave the way and fight for Your Majesty, even if it means the dissipation of your demonic soul!"

It knew this was the crucial moment to show loyalty, and its tone was extremely obsequious.

The crimson light in the Demon Lord's eyes flickered slightly: "Very good. You have rendered meritorious service by finding this world. Once you conquer this realm, I will bestow upon you demonic thoughts to help you re-condense your original demonic seed!"

The nine-headed demon owl's massive body trembled violently, its excitement causing the surrounding demonic energy to fluctuate wildly. It almost prostrated itself on the ground, its voice trembling with extreme excitement: "Thank you... thank you for your grace, my lord! I will do anything, even die a thousand deaths, to conquer these two worlds for you!"

The Demon Lord of Giant Abominations revealed a smile, though it appeared somewhat ferocious. All of his demon kings at the Void Immortal level were gone, so he naturally needed to cultivate his power.

The Nine-Headed Demon Owl is the first choice for meritorious service. With clear rewards and punishments, subordinates will work diligently. The same applies in the Heavenly Demon Kingdom.

He turned his gaze to the spatial rift in the distance.

Wait a little longer, until he digests the illusory immortal demon he devoured yesterday, then he can deal with this realm.

"By the way, do you remember who injured you when you returned severely wounded? I will leave him to you then," said the Demon Lord of Giant Abyss.

The nine-headed demon owl recalled Gu Yuanqing's appearance, its demonic energy swirling in the void to conjure his likeness, its eyes filled with hatred, as it said, "This human is no simpleton either. Although not at the Void Immortal level, his strength far surpasses that of an ordinary Undying Chaos..."

The Demon Lord was slightly taken aback when he saw Gu Yuanqing's appearance. His demonic eyes suddenly contracted, and then he unleashed a palm strike filled with anger.

boom--!
The demonic flames exploded, and the nine-headed demonic owl let out a miserable howl as its massive demonic body shattered instantly, turning into chaotic demonic energy that filled the sky.

The Undying Chaos Demon would not die so easily, but faced with the exposed Giant Demon Lord, it did not even dare to reconstitute its demonic body.

Only a sense of fear escaped his lips: "My lord... why is this happening?!"

It had no idea why it had incurred such a severe punishment.

"Do you know who he is?" The Demon Lord's eyes were icy cold.

"Who is it?" The nine-headed demon owl asked, somewhat bewildered.

"Gu Yuanqing! He is Gu Yuanqing. Why didn't you report this? Do you want to send me to my death?" the Demon Lord roared.

"Gu Yuanqing? He...he's Gu Yuanqing?"

The Nine-Headed Demon Owl instantly understood. Although it had returned due to severe injuries and had not participated in the great battle with Gu Yuanqing, it had heard of his name.

Currently, in the Nine Realms Divine Continent, the human race is rising against the tide, entirely because of this human race. The three great demon lords have all suffered great losses at its hands, to the point that the Giant Abomination Demon Lord had no choice but to go to this outer realm to seek another way out.

Faced with the wrath of the Great Demon Lord, the Nine-Headed Demon Owl trembled and said, "How dare I, your subordinate? It's just that I didn't know this person was him."

Just as the Demon Lord was about to speak, a sudden sense of unease and warning, originating from the depths of his demonic soul, struck him!
He suddenly turned his head and looked into the distance, his pupils shrinking.

Without warning, countless pale blue light spots appeared in the void. These light spots quickly extended and intertwined, transforming into a series of crisscrossing and chilling sword shadows. In an instant, they formed a terrifying sword formation that covered the four corners of the world, completely sealing off the area where the Giant Demon Lord was located!
Outside the sword formation, ripples spread through the void, and Gu Yuanqing slowly stepped out, his gaze falling on the Giant Demon Lord. He said softly with a half-smile, "Giant Demon, we are truly destined. I have come all this way to send you this avatar. I appreciate your kindness."

When the Demon Lord saw Gu Yuanqing, he did not hesitate at all. His demonic body trembled violently and transformed into countless streams of dark light, which frantically shot out of the sword formation!

It knew all too well that in its current state, this clone had absolutely no chance of winning against Gu Yuanqing!
This clone is far inferior to the clone that fought Gu Yuanqing back then!
"You want to leave now?"

Gu Yuanqing chuckled and shook his head, pointing his fingers like a sword and making a sweeping motion in the air.

Zheng——!
The sword rang out clearly and melodiously, like a dragon's roar echoing through the heavens.

The Azure Sword appeared, its starlight blazing, causing the entire sword formation to roar into action!
The myriad sword shadows seemed to come alive, transforming into a destructive azure storm that swept towards the fleeing demonic light.

Where the sword energy passed, the void was torn apart, and the demonic light wailed and dissipated.

Gu Yuanqing's cultivation level is now far beyond what it used to be, and the Azure Nether Sword is much more effective than the flying sword left by the Heavenly Sword Elder. The power of the Myriad Manifestations Sword of Tribulation has naturally increased dramatically.

Moreover, this place is the outer void, not the demon land familiar to the Demon Lord. Many of its demonic supernatural powers are restricted, but Gu Yuanqing's primordial energy is as vast as the sea, so his sword formation is not greatly restricted.

The outcome was predetermined from the very beginning, with one side gaining and the other losing.

Under the Eternal Sword of All Realms, the Great Demon Lord broke through layers of spatial blockade, but one sword formation after another quickly overlapped.

Unable to escape, the demonic energy rapidly gathered, solidifying into a demonic body. He unleashed his demonic power, opening up the monstrous demonic domain to dissipate the sword energy, before finally finding an opportunity to flee.

But the gap was too big, and he couldn't find any opportunity at all.

As the sword light raged, the demonic energy dissipated.

As the Azure Nether Sword flashed, the primordial demonic thoughts of the Great Demon Lord were all annihilated. In the short span of half an incense stick's time, the overwhelming demonic power rapidly weakened.

The avatar of the Demon Lord roared in resentment, struggled desperately, and unleashed wave after wave of powerful demonic energy, while also emitting demonic sounds in an attempt to disturb Gu Yuanqing's mind.

But all of this is useless.

In the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, the Demon Lord's body shattered, and he was forced by the sword formation to move only within a radius of less than ten miles.

A fair hand reached out from the void, grabbed, and with immense power completely imprisoned it. Then, the demonic energy that had spread for ten miles quickly shrank to the size of a fist and disappeared as the hand retracted.

With the Demon Lord of Calamity captured, the Myriad Manifestations Sword Formation of Calamity Control was immediately deployed, and the Heavenly Demons gathered there were all reduced to fragments.

The Dao Source True Fire ignited, and even the Chaotic Undying Heavenly Demon was refined in an instant.

The Nine-Headed Demon Owl was among them. This Great Demon of Chaos, who had once escaped from Gu Yuanqing's grasp, was no longer even worth a second sword strike from Gu Yuanqing.

Gu Yuanqing raised his hand and gestured, and the countless sword shadows vanished. The Azure Nether Sword flew back, emitting a joyful chirp.

After this battle, his spirit became even stronger.

Gu Yuanqing chuckled lightly: "Not bad, it's much more convenient to use!"

The next instant, the Azure Sword vanished into thin air and was retrieved by the original body.

The Dao Source True Fire flew back to Gu Yuanqing's clone's hand and merged into his divine soul, but this power was only slightly better than nothing to Gu Yuanqing.

He took another step and headed towards the spatial rift.

Since we're here, let's do a cleaning while we're at it!
With his power as a celestial being, sweeping away these ordinary celestial demons would be a piece of cake.

With just a thought, wisps of sword energy appeared out of thin air, and even the demonic energy on the Heavenly Demon's body was transformed into sword energy, directly slaying him.

When Gu Yuanqing returned to the space rift, the countless demons that had surrounded him had all vanished.

This otherworld seemed to have returned to peace.

He entered through the spatial rift, and Xiao Lingyue and Xuanji Tianjun, who were standing above the Boundary City, immediately brightened up and rushed to greet him.

They were curious to see what was happening outside the realm, but they were already seriously injured and worried that the illusory immortal demon would bypass Gu Yuanqing and enter this realm, so they dared not go too far from the realm city.

"Brother Gu, how is the situation? Have you found that illusory immortal demon?" Xuanji Tianjun asked as soon as he approached.

Gu Yuanqing smiled faintly: "It's already been resolved."

"solved?"

Xuanji Tianjun and Xiao Lingyue exchanged a glance, somewhat taken aback.

solved?
It's not that they don't believe in Gu Yuanqing's abilities.

Rather, it was this Heavenly Demon. Did they know how powerful it was? And how long had it been since Gu Yuanqing left and returned?

How was it resolved in such a short time?

“Brother Gu…is this true? That demon…” Xuanji Tianjun asked.

"It's just a avatar of a Heavenly Demon. I also swept up the Heavenly Demons around the spatial rift. There shouldn't be any major problems here for the time being," Gu Yuanqing said calmly, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

Xuanji Tianjun's eyes lit up with joy. He did not doubt Gu Yuanqing's words; the other party had no reason to lie about this matter.

He quickly clasped his hands and bowed, saying, "Brother Gu, your supernatural powers are unparalleled, you have averted the calamity in the spirit world. Please accept my bow!"

Xiao Lingyue quickly followed suit and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Brother Gu, for turning the tide!"

Gu Yuanqing smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I am also an elder of the Yujie Alliance. Fellow Daoists, there's no need for such formalities. Now that this matter is settled, I should return. I still have some matters to attend to on Qianyuan Island."

“I will see you off, fellow Daoist,” said Xuanji Tianjun.

Gu Yuanqing smiled calmly: "No need. Both of you are already injured. Although I killed the Void Immortal Heavenly Demon here, there are still Heavenly Demons lurking outside the other realm cities. As for me, this is just an avatar, so going back won't be too much trouble."

As the words were spoken, the void rippled, and Gu Yuanqing's figure vanished into thin air.

Today, some of the original methods no longer need to be deliberately hidden.

Xuanji Tianjun was slightly taken aback, and sighed softly, "Only today do I realize what true heaven-reaching means are."

……

Within the North Spring Cave.

The tribulation of the illusory immortals is already brewing, and the tribulation clouds are getting thicker and thicker. It is likely that the heavenly tribulation will truly descend soon.

Gu Yuanqing withdrew his clone and whispered to Li Miaoxuan, "The matter outside the realm has been resolved."

Li Miaoxuan's mind was slightly disturbed, but she quickly regained her composure, feeling even more at peace.

Gu Yuanqing smiled slightly, then suddenly his gaze fell into the distance.

Xuan Tiange Ji Shan's figure rapidly approached, but upon reaching him, he stood in mid-air, looking surprised and uncertain.

"The Tribulation of the Void Immortal?"

Ji Shan's eyes widened.

He himself was an immortal cultivator, and having witnessed Gu Yuanqing's tribulation before, he could naturally recognize it.

Is there someone in Qingping Dao Palace who wants to become a Void Immortal?
Could it be that there is an unrevealed, immortal master of chaos within the Qingping Dao Palace?

Or rather... was it Li Miaoxuan?
In Ji Shan's eyes, it was not impossible. Li Miaoxuan was also a genius. She achieved the Undying Chaos Realm in just a few hundred years in the Lingxu Sect. Her cultivation speed was only half a step slower than Gu Yuanqing's.

Moreover, Li Miaoxuan has not appeared in recent years, and it is said that she is in seclusion.

However, no one had broken through to the Void Immortal realm in tens of thousands of years, and now it seemed that a second one was about to emerge in such a short time. This made even a great cultivator who prided himself on his expertise in the Dao of Heavenly Secrets astonished.

Ji Shan frowned slightly. A illusory immortal demon had appeared in the spirit realm, and the illusory immortal tribulation was about to fall. Even he dared not venture in.

Just then, she suddenly felt a slight fluctuation in the space around her. Turning her head, she saw Gu Yuanqing's figure appear.

He quickly clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Brother Gu, I apologize for the intrusion."

Gu Yuanqing also arrived in a Dharma body, cupped his fists and smiled, saying, "Fellow Daoist Ji, could it be that you have come for the matter of the extraterritorial battlefield?"
