The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Lu Yao remained unconcerned by the taunts of the Flame Demon Master.

He was just a mere early-stage Core Formation cultivator. Although he was at the same level as Lu Yao, he was not a troublesome opponent.

"Want my head? You're not good enough!"

Lu Yao smiled faintly, and with a thought, the Thunder Prison Barrier quickly unfolded, enveloping the Flame Demon True Man.

"You're a Core Formation cultivator?!"

The Flame Demon Master's expression changed, and he immediately sensed Lu Yao's true realm from Lu Yao's magical aura.

"When did I say I had reached the Foundation Establishment stage?"

Lu Yao sneered, no longer wanting to waste words with the Flame Demon Master.

This place is close to the stronghold of a demonic sect, and a swift victory is needed. If a few more Core Formation cultivators are attracted here, Lu Yao will have to turn back.

"Hmph! So what if you're a Core Formation cultivator? Judging from your appearance, you're just a newly promoted Core Formation cultivator who hasn't been in the Core Formation realm for long. You want to hide your talents like others? I'm afraid you don't even have a natal magic weapon."

After his initial surprise, the Flame Demon Master immediately revealed a look of disdain.

As a veteran Core Formation cultivator, True Man Yanmo is only one step away from the mid-stage of Core Formation, and he certainly has the right to look down on cultivators who have just formed their Core.

However, Lu Yao is different from ordinary Core Formation cultivators.

"Yin Fire?!"

Lu Yao took out the magic gourd he had obtained from Li Da. With the activation of his magic power, countless fire crows flew out and enveloped the Flame Demon True Man.

Lu Yao of this family obtained two magical treasures from the Li brothers.

Unfortunately, the spirit within Li Er's walking stick magic weapon was annihilated by the Azure Sky Divine Thunder, greatly reducing its power.

It requires refining the soul of a Core Formation cultivator or refining the soul of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and then nurturing it before it can be used.

"Oh? You actually have a magic weapon. You must be quite wealthy."

When Yanmo Zhenren saw the Yin Fire Gourd in Lu Yao's hand, a glint of greed flashed in his eyes.

"Lava Demon Banner!"

With a soft shout, the Flame Demon Master released a small, fiery red flag from his body, clearly his natal magic weapon.

"Boom boom boom!"

With a flash, the Flame Demon Master's natal magic weapon transformed into a large banner, which he grasped in his hand and waved, causing a swirling mass of molten lava and demonic fire to dance in the air.

Lu Yao's fire crows clashed with the demonic fire of the Flame Demon Master, and immediately showed signs of weakness.

"Hehehe! It's a pity to give you such a good magic weapon. You should give it to me instead."

The Flame Demon Master grinned, a red light flashing in his eyes. The demonic banner in his hand shone brightly, and the overwhelming demonic fire quickly burned the fire crow to ashes.

"Green Radiance Sword!"

A cold smile appeared on Lu Yao's lips. He naturally knew that the Yin Fire Gourd could not defeat the Flame Demon True Man; it was merely something he used to attract his attention.

A streak of green light swiftly pierced through the demonic fire and arrived before the Flame Demon Immortal in an instant.

"There are also magical treasures!!"

The Flame Demon Master, who had been laughing wildly, suddenly changed his demeanor and quickly protected the Lava Demon Banner in front of him.

"boom!"

Unfortunately, the Green Blaze Sword arrived too stealthily. The Flame Demon True Man was a step too slow and was directly pierced through the arm by the Green Blaze Sword.

"Aaaaah! I'm going to kill you! I'll use your soul to light human lamps!"

The Flame Demon Master screamed in agony as his entire arm was severed, bleeding profusely.

"It's still a bit lacking; it seems he only used supernatural powers."

Although the Flame Demon Master had one arm severed, Lu Yao was still not satisfied.

"Azure Thunder!"

Lu Yao gave a soft shout in his heart, raised his palm, and pointed a finger at Yanmo Zhenren.

"you……"

The Flame Demon Master wanted to say something more, but he immediately raised his head, his eyes filled with terror.

He immediately retreated rapidly, heading towards the Demon Flame Sect's headquarters outside the barrier.

At this point, he had no desire to continue fighting Lu Yao; he only wanted to escape.

However, with the Thunder Prison Barrier combined with the Azure Sky Divine Thunder, the Flame Demon True Man was completely unable to break free from the Azure Sky Divine Thunder's lock.

"Boom!"

A thunderous roar was heard, and a bolt of azure lightning appeared, striking the head of the Flame Demon Master.

Before the Flame Demon could even scream, he was cleaved into a pile of charred remains.

"What a pity, this supernatural power was too great, both the corpse and the soul are gone."

Upon seeing the remaining ashes and remains of the Flame Demon Master, Lu Yao couldn't help but shake his head.

The power of the Azure Sky Divine Lightning was so great that it even shattered the storage ring of the Flame Demon True Man, and the contents fell into the spatial turbulence, where they will undoubtedly benefit some lucky individual.

With a wave of his hand, Lu Yao took the Lava Demon Banner left behind by the Flame Demon True Man.

It's not a complete loss, since I gained a valuable item.

After inspecting the battlefield, Lu Yao quickly left the area.

Although the Thunder Prison Barrier concealed the commotion of the battle, it certainly attracted the attention of some cultivators, so they couldn't linger.

Half an hour after Lu Yao left, two Core Formation cultivators arrived in front of the charred remains of the Flame Demon True Man.

"Is that old devil, the Flame Demon?"

One of the beautiful female cultivators, with flower petals on her forehead, frowned slightly, looking at the pile of charred remains in front of her with some surprise and uncertainty.

"That should be it; there's that old ghost's aura on it."

The middle-aged cultivator next to the beautiful female cultivator looked shocked, but said with certainty.

"To be able to defeat the Flame Demon Old Ghost in such a short time, it must have been a cultivator in the late Core Formation stage."

"Do the Seven Great Sects have such masters of thunder magic?"

The beautiful female cultivator from the Hehuan Sect thought for a moment and couldn't think of any other sect among the seven major sects that possessed such strength.

"Could it be someone from the Righteous Alliance?"

The middle-aged man from the Thousand Illusions Sect also frowned and said uncertainly.

"It shouldn't be. The Righteous Alliance has an agreement with us, and besides, they can't spare any resources right now."

The beautiful female cultivator from the Hehuan Sect shook her head, directly rejecting the claim that the Thousand Illusions Sect had a Core Formation cultivator.

"Let's record this and warn everyone to be careful. No one can defeat this person except those in the late stage of Core Formation."

Finally, the beautiful female cultivator from the Hehuan Sect shook her head and spoke.

……

After killing Yanmo Zhenren, Lu Yao retreated to the Yanyue Sect's base.

The Merit Pavilion is a reward institution jointly established by the seven major sects in Jin Valley Plain.

Lu Yao walked into the pavilion and placed the heads of five Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Demonic Path directly on the counter.

"Uncle-Master, please wait a moment and allow me to verify this."

The disciples of the Hall of Merit took out a jade mirror artifact and shone it on each of the five heads, which then emitted a blue light.

"Three mid-Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators and two early-Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators. Please provide your identity tokens, Martial Uncle."

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the disciple holding the jade mirror, and he respectfully spoke to Lu Yao.

The words of the disciples from the Merit Pavilion drew the attention of the other disciples in the pavilion.

"Three mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivators and two early-Foundation Establishment stage cultivators? Where did these powerful individuals come from?"

"They look like disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect. Disciples from major sects are indeed formidable."

"How about we ask this guy if he'd like to team up with us to hunt down the demon cubs?"

"A high-ranking cultivator from a sect would take a liking to you? Don't dream about it."

The Hall of Merit was filled not only with disciples from the seven major sects, but also with independent cultivators from the Yue Kingdom, all of whom looked at Lu Yao with curiosity.
