What is an immortal?

Chapter 1091 - 1056: The Outbreak of Battle

"You want to eat me... just like you ate my mother back then." Hua Zhi was silent for a moment, and when she raised her head, her eyes were filled with unrestrained killing intent.

"Of course, after all, whether it's you or your mother, your bloodline is the purest and noblest. As long as I eat you and refine you, even a bastard like me can soar to new heights and have a chance to break through the seventh level." The Snake-eyed Demon Clan laughed loudly.

"Mother treated you so well back then, almost like her own son. Is this how you repay her?" Hua Zhi's anger intensified.

"I didn't want to, but what choice did I have when she was so gravely injured, not even the clan's cherished treasure medicine could save her? Besides, did you know that when I ate your mother, I actually got tacit approval from Father? After all, compared to a resource-wasting half-crippled wife, a promising child like me has more value for cultivation." The Snake-eyed Demon Clan sighed lightly, continuing to provoke Hua Zhi's nerves.

Hua Zhi clenched her fists without speaking.

"But you don't need to consider seeking revenge on him. After all, he joined your mother in my stomach long ago. No need to thank me. When you see them later, just remember to send my regards." The Snake-eyed Demon Clan pointed at his stomach and laughed heartily.

Hua Zhi exhaled a breath of turbid air, raised her head, and her gaze was colder than snow.

The next moment, thousands of thorny poisonous vines surged out wildly, blotting out the sky and the sun, roaring like a violent wave, as if thousands of angry serpents were roaring, all rushing towards the Snake-eyed Demon Clan.

...

On Wulu's side, he wasted no words after facing the Demon Clan Great Mahayana, and directly unleashed the Spiritual Domain, attacking the Demon Clan Great Mahayana.

But soon, he found himself in bad luck, encountering a rather troublesome opponent for him.

"Your poison is useless against me." The white-haired, pale-skinned Demon Clan Great Mahayana said, letting the poisonous rain Wulu cast fall on him without a care, looking completely unperturbed.

The dark green poisonous slime entered his body, but it quickly dissolved, showing no effect whatsoever.

Wulu felt a heavy heart, and with a wave of his right hand into the air, the Ten Thousand Gods Poison Dagger flashed into existence, shone lightly, and slashed out, only to suddenly disappear halfway through.

After breaking through the Mahayana stage, his mastery of the Heavenly Escape Stone Talisman had become increasingly proficient, now able to invoke invisibility divine skills across a distance.

The white-haired Demon Clan's brows furrowed slightly, releasing his Divine Thought, but he couldn't find any trace of the Ten Thousand Gods Poison Dagger. He could only urge his Mana, drawing a rectangular milky white barrier around himself.

With a "ding" sound, the Ten Thousand Gods Poison Dagger suddenly appeared behind the white-haired Demon Clan, the tip of the dagger clashing against the barrier, unable to penetrate.

At that moment, a green flash gleamed on the Ten Thousand Gods Poison Dagger, and sinister poison surged out, piercing through the barrier in an instant, splattering onto the white-haired Demon Clan's left shoulder.

A sizzling sound erupted chaotically, and the white-haired Demon Clan's body was instantly corroded, with flesh and blood turning into white smoke wafting away.

Just as the poison was about to dissolve him, the white-haired Demon Clan tapped his shoulder expressionlessly, and as white light swirled, his shoulder seemed to reverse in time, quickly reverting to its original state.

The Ten Thousand Gods Poison Dagger meanwhile surged ahead to stab him, but he extended a finger, drawing a circle in the air, upon which a small mirror appeared out of nowhere, blocking the path of the dagger.

The dagger struck the mirror and entered as if piercing into the surface of water. With a flick of the white-haired Demon Clan's finger, the small mirror rotated in midair, aiming toward Wulu. In the next instant, the Ten Thousand Gods Poison Dagger emerged and shot back at Wulu.

Wulu shifted his thoughts, controlling the Ten Thousand Gods Poison Dagger once again, but his expression turned a bit grim.

"From a young age, I've had a fortuitous encounter, becoming resistant to ailments and poison. Even alien Mana imposed upon me by others dissolves automatically. Your poison skill, as fierce as it is, has no effect on me." The white-haired Demon Clan chuckled coldly.

It resembles the Void Thought Technique to some extent.

Wulu pondered inwardly and suddenly had an idea. He formed a spell, and his figure vanished instantly from the original spot.

The white-haired Demon Clan, having witnessed the Ten Thousand Gods Poison Dagger's invisibility, dared not be careless. He raised his hand with a pinch, and the Spiritual Domain was instantly released, enveloping the surroundings.

The next moment, he suddenly looked left-frontward, and the small mirror beside him flashed with light. Accompanied by a deafening roar, a light pillar a hundred feet wide surged forth, blasting towards the void in the left front direction.

Wulu's figure reappeared instantly, dodging spells while a trace of a cunning smile played on his lips.

The white-haired Demon Clan's heart skipped a beat. His spell changed in his hand, wanting to summon a Protective Body barrier. However, at that moment, he felt a pain in his waist, and upon looking down, saw that the Ten Thousand Gods Poison Dagger had already pierced into his flesh.

How could the Heavenly Escape Stone Talisman be seen through by him? Wulu merely showed himself deliberately, intending to draw attention.

The white-haired Demon Clan vehemently shouted, surging Mana within him, causing a blossom of dazzling white light that ejected the Ten Thousand Gods Poison Dagger.

However, the poison on the dagger had already invaded his body.

"I told you before, if it were someone else, that strike might have cost half their life, but as for me, I'm not afraid of your poison skill at all." The white-haired Demon Clan said, rubbing his hand over his abdomen, where the Ten Thousand Gods Poison Dagger had pierced, the wound healing swiftly and soon showing no scar.

But suddenly, he felt something was amiss because the poison that had just entered his body had not been dissolved, yet he felt no discomfort. Instead, he noticed his internal Mana seemed slightly more vigorous than a moment ago.

Just as he showed a look of surprise, Wulu also sensed that his poison had not been dissolved.

He slightly curled his lips, realizing the difference between the white-haired Demon Clan's physical divine skills and the Void Thought Technique.

His body could only autonomously refine harmful substances and could not proactively control and melt away internal foreign objects. When what was injected was not a harmful poison but a Mana-enhancing Spiritual Liquid, he could not dissolve it.

This feature seemed useless, but Wulu, having melted countless poisons, knew well that poison and medicine were not opposing entities, and what he mastered was not merely a drop of throat-sealing poison.

If poison can't kill you, I'll kill you with medicine, let's see if you can endure the pain of Mana overflowing!

Thinking this, Wulu activated the Heavenly Escape Stone Talisman and once again vanished before the white-haired Demon Clan's eyes.

...

At the same time, other Mahayana cultivators were also engaging in battle with the Demon Clan cultivators.

The Bright Moon Palace Master released the soul domain and fought against two Demon Clan Great Mahayanas … Swordsman Qing Ping, with his lone sword slightly tilted, unleashed Sword Qi throughout the Spiritual Domain. In the chilly wind, he fought a Demon Clan Great Mahayana to a draw … Puppet Immortal, with illusionary spirit lines entwined on his fingers, coordinated a fierce attack with a puppet identical to him. With a single move, he displayed the might of a Mahayana.

Counting Ancestor Bing Lan, who was entangled with the Reincarnation Demon Lord, eleven out of the fifteen Demon Clan Great Mahayanas had found opponents.

The remaining four Demon Clan Great Mahayanas, however, all wore slightly grave expressions as they stared unblinkingly at Daoist Mu, who was blocking in front of the Shura Palace.

"I've long heard that you, Daoist Mu, are the foremost Mahayana in Chuyun. I didn't see you show your hand in the last battle. Today, I must see for myself if you're truly deserving of your reputation!" Suddenly, a dark-skinned Demon Clan Great Mahayana sneered.

Daoist Mu ignored him, not even casting a glance at the four.

He lifted his head, his gaze drifting to the Yan Emperor, standing in mid-air, motionless, revealing a hint of solemnity.

Seeing that Daoist Mu didn't even regard them, the four Demon Clan Great Mahayanas were instantly enraged. Exchanging a brief glance, they simultaneously raised their hands to form spells.

The dark-skinned Demon Clan Great Mahayana raised his hand vertically in front of him and spat out, releasing fist-sized black mist balls that burst into a huge Black Mist Maze Array around Daoist Mu.

The Double-eyed Demon Clan immediately followed, raising his hand and unfurling a scroll exuding a putrid smell into the sky with a sweep of blood-colored magic light.

The Double-eyed Demon Clan quickly formed spells with both hands, pointing repeatedly at the scroll.

With a "poof," the scroll opened slowly, spewing out corrosive blood, transforming into a rainstorm spreading across the Black Mist Secret Array.

Another Demon Clan Great Mahayana with wings on his back also cast a spell, tapping his forehead.

In an instant, black light flashed, and from his seven orifices, seven snake-headed tiger-bodied creatures emerged. They swayed in the wind, growing to the size of small mountains, and also charged towards the Black Mist Maze Array.

Subsequently, the final scantily-clad Demon Clan female cultivator sliced her right palm.

The next moment, her skin cracked, oozing endless black blood that condensed into a dark giant sword over a thousand feet long in mid-air, swiftly slashing into the mist.

The four Demon Clan Great Mahayanas joined forces, refraining from using their Spiritual Domains to avoid mutual interference, showcasing their most prized skills. Although their actions followed in succession, they occurred almost simultaneously to take down Daoist Mu swiftly, aiming for a fatal blow.

But in the next instant, all four Demon Clan Great Mahayanas suddenly changed their expressions.

From within the Black Mist Maze Array, a branch emitting dazzling spirit light pierced through, pointing straight to the sky.

Countless green leaves sprouted from the branch, akin to bamboo shoots after rain, and at its tip, a tender flower bud emerged, growing, blooming, wilting, and bearing fruit—all in an instant.

Meanwhile, the surrounding black mist was thoroughly absorbed by the branch, with the corrosion poison becoming nourishment, allowing the branch to bear a fruit as dark as ink.

As the black mist dissipated, Daoist Mu's figure reappeared before everyone's eyes.

On his shoulder lay a crimson maple leaf, and above his head grew a giant tree resembling a longsword, surrounded by seven wooden statues with snake heads and tiger bodies. Their eyes blossomed; their mouths and ears grew branches, their bark coarse like ancient trees.

Only then did Daoist Mu finally shift his gaze, looking at the four Demon Clan Great Mahayanas with neither joy nor sorrow in his eyes.

Then, he slowly lifted his foot, stepping forward.

In an instant, it was as if a spring breeze swept across the land, countless green grasses sprouting from the earth, the air filled with an intense life force, catalyzing rapid growth everywhere.

The Four Demons simultaneously felt a wave of comfort, as if endless vitality surged from their bodies. But before they could indulge in this euphoria and wonder, another strange sensation arose.

They felt their thoughts gradually slow, their bodies stiffening significantly. Looking down, they saw flowers and vegetation growing from their bodies, their vigorous Mana gradually transforming into the life force of vegetation, all their flesh and skin turning into wood.
