Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

Everyone in the Corpse Refining Sect was terrified at this time. They thought that the Demon Baby and Liu Xing would have a fight so that they could reap the benefits.

Who knew that in an instant, the demon baby seemed to be restrained by Liu Xing. The situation looked very bad, and Liu Xing was going to use the demon baby to deal with them!

"Run!" The Corpse Refining Sect disciples dared not linger any longer, and scattered like birds and beasts. The leader, in particular, reacted the fastest, instantly flying ten feet away. Their lives were at stake, and they couldn't care less about refining corpses.

"Did I tell you to leave?!" the demonic infant turned and roared, teleporting to catch up with the leader, spewing out a puff of black air. Controlled by Liu Xing, it vented its inner resentment on these people.

The leader had only escaped a hundred feet when the demon infant caught up with him, forcing him to stop and deal with it. The magic weapon spun around him, slicing the black energy into pieces.

Liu Xing quickly summoned Jiao Jiao to protect him, then took out a high-grade spirit stone and sat cross-legged on the spot to recover his mana. He'd recover as much as he could, as there was still a fierce battle to come!

Top-grade spirit stones were extremely rare, usually only available to Nascent Soul ancestors. Liu Xing had managed to acquire a few over the years, but only a dozen or so, and normally wouldn't have bothered to use them. Now, saving his life was paramount, and he couldn't be stingy anymore; he had to use the best.

Top-grade spirit stones were indeed valuable. He took a deep breath and felt a surge of spiritual energy flowing through his meridians and converging into his dantian. This flowed a hundred times faster than a mid-grade spirit stone, and ten thousand times faster than a low-grade spirit stone. No wonder top-grade spirit stones were so precious. They were truly an invaluable tool for healing or overcoming bottlenecks, comparable to top-grade medicinal pills.

The demon infant's consciousness was watching Liu Xing's every move. Seeing him meditating to recover his mana, he felt something was amiss. He was about to interrupt him, but then thought better of it.

"Even if your magic power reaches the peak and you are in the early stage of Jindan, you can't defeat me. It's ridiculous! What am I worried about?" The demon baby said self-deprecatingly, and then put Liu Xing out of his mind and concentrated on dealing with the disciples of the Corpse Refining Sect.

The leader of the Corpse Refining Sect was indeed worthy of being a core disciple. He used all kinds of magic weapons and secret techniques one after another. He held on for a quarter of an hour before being turned into a dried corpse under the angry attack of the demon baby.

"It's so delicious! If I can swallow a Nascent Soul, I can immediately be promoted to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul." The demon baby threw the opponent's golden elixir into his mouth, chewing it with a crunching sound, and dreaming of spring and autumn.

It turned its head and sensed the other disciples of the Corpse Refining Sect. They had all fled dozens of miles away, and the fastest one in the middle stage of the Core Formation stage was almost flying out of its sensing range.

"Hmph, you still want to escape right under my nose!" The demon baby screamed and chased after him.

Seeing the demon baby running away, Jiao Jiao immediately went to pick up the storage bag of the Corpse Refining Sect leader. At the same time, she joined the Corpse Refining team and eliminated the three Jindan cultivators of the Demon Sect in a few moves.

The three members of the Demon Cult were already exhausted and their magic weapons were damaged by the desperate attacks of the corpses. After such a long period of exhaustion, the corpses were also damaged to a minimum, including two corpses in the Jindan stage who had self-destructed. Jiao Jiao's strength was already no less than that of the middle Jindan stage, and with her joining her, she easily eliminated the three members of the Demon Cult.

After doing all this, Jiao Jiao stood behind Liu Xing again, silently protecting his master.

Liu Xing was doing two things at once, recovering his magic power while checking his storage bag.

"It turns out these people are from the Demon Cult. Humph, the two top sects have joined forces to deal with me. I will pay them back tenfold in the future!" Liu Xing swore secretly.

He originally wanted to quickly find out the origin of the demon baby and how to use the Infant Heart Pendant, but unfortunately, there was no relevant information.

"I should have left him alive to search his soul!" Liu Xing was regretting it now.

Liu Xing quickly browsed through the spoils. Time was pressing, so he picked out the ones that could be used now and would find ways to study the ones he didn't recognize later. He stuffed everything into his arms.

However, he was very interested in two top-level skills at this moment, one was the "Corpse Refining Technique" of the Corpse Refining Sect, and the other was the "Soul-Splitting Technique" of the Demon Cult. He decided to study them carefully afterwards.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and the demon infant returned screaming. With half an hour's buffer, Liu Xing's magic power had almost recovered.

Finally, he had the strength to fight against the demon baby, and Liu Xing felt a lot more relaxed.

"Boy, you've rested for so long, it's time to wake up, right? I have killed all these people as you said. Are you going to fulfill your promise and give me the Infant Heart Pendant?" The demon baby saw that Liu Xing was still sitting cross-legged on the ground and dozing off, so he decisively interrupted him and asked for the jade pendant.

Jiao Jiao was now on edge, her eyes bloodshot, and she was incredibly nervous. This was the most powerful enemy she and her master had ever encountered, and she was no match for him. But she didn't back down, vowing to live and die with her master!

Liu Xing slowly opened his eyes, touched Jiao Jiao's neck, signaled her not to worry, and then put her into the storage bag.

Facing a Nascent Soul level opponent, Jiao Jiao could not help at all. The aftermath of a spell could seriously injure her, so it would be safer to put it away.

"Senior Moying, may I ask if it was you who caused the disappearance of several fellow Daoists of the Jindan stage in the refined copper mine a few years ago?" Liu Xing did not hand over the jade pendant directly, but asked instead.

"Yes, this old ancestor has traveled here and is hungry. How can I not take the delicious food that is right in front of me? Little kid, do you want to avenge them?" The demon baby admitted it without hesitation and looked at Liu Xing playfully.

"Senior, are you from the Demonic Cult?" Liu Xing continued to probe, trying to dig out more useful information.

"Hmph, those bastards from the Demon Cult are the most despicable. They've imprisoned me for nearly a thousand years. I'll kill them all if I see them!" The demon baby seemed to have a deep hatred for the Demon Cult. When Liu Xing asked him about it, he couldn't help but vent it. However, in addition to hatred, his words also contained a deep fear.

Liu Xing's spiritual sense was very powerful, so he could naturally pick up on the mixed emotions of hatred and fear. He constantly synthesized this information and judged the ins and outs of the matter.

Liu Xing took out the Infant Heart Pendant and observed the reaction of the Demon Baby. He was confident enough that he could capture the information in advance and dodge when the Demon Baby teleported and attacked.

When the demon baby saw the Infant Heart Pendant, he indeed experienced strong emotional fluctuations.

"Give it to me! Give me the jade pendant!" The demon baby stretched out his hand from a distance, his eyes showing an extremely eager look, and his head was shaking violently. Terror, fear, desire, hatred, begging for mercy, all kinds of emotions came flooding in.

Seeing the demon infant's determined stance to live and die with the Infant Heart Pendant, Liu Xing concluded that unless he subdued the demon infant, he would never be able to remove the Infant Heart Pendant from this place. He also believed that if he could crush the jade pendant, he would be able to severely injure the demon infant. However, he decided not to do so until the very last moment.

Because once the jade pendant is crushed and there is no handle, the demon baby will attack him without any scruples, and the situation will be a fight to the death!
