Wasted Spiritual Root to Embark on Demonic Cultivation

Chapter 486

“True Word King!”

The Northern Demon Race had experts as numerous as clouds.

The mature Nascent Souls from the Upper Four Clans and Lower Eight Clans combined already exceeded sixty. Adding the group of old demons currently retired in the Heart Beast Tower.

Aside from Spirit Transformation-level combat power, the Northern Demon Race’s foundation was equivalent to either the Sword Sect or the Heaven-Refining Demonic Sect. Dispatching a few elites to Kuangmei Mountain as a precaution was actually quite simple.

Blueheart Elder’s situation looked dire. With one shout from Wang Yu, the old monkey who had been hiding finally emerged. The divine ability “Words Become Law” was enough to handle any situation.

The old monkey spoke extremely fast.

“Blueheart Elder is by my side.”

A flash of white light appeared along with spatial fluctuations. Blueheart Elder, who had been chased until he had nowhere left to run, instantly appeared beside the old monkey.

The crisis was successfully resolved.

The cultivators from the Northern Suppression Tower also revealed their true appearances. A full twelve Nascent Soul experts, four at late stage and eight at mid stage!

There was not a single cultivator below Nascent Soul. They had carried the elite policy to the extreme. Once this massive force joined the original Ice River Pass battlefield.

There was indeed a high chance they could drive away the Nether Mountain Sect members who were unwilling to contribute.

In terms of opponent allocation.

Ice Soul Fairy, Blueheart Elder, and Wang Yu would each handle one late-stage great cultivator from the Northern Suppression Tower. The Northern Demon Race had provided Four Transformation-stage great demons as support.

Both True Word King and Shadow Hound King were late-stage existences.

The rest of the matchups were much weaker. Heavenly Frost could hold back one mid-stage opponent, but the remaining seven mid-stage opponents could only be restricted by the old monkey, who definitely could not handle them all.

This created one of the situations Wang Yu had predicted earlier.

“Snowjade, retreat. Your main task is to protect the Cold Blood Peak cultivators. Assist me if the situation allows.”

“Yes, Master.”

In this high-intensity battle, Snowjade’s mere early fourth-rank cultivation could not play a significant role. She could only try to achieve surprise victories by relying on the mysteries of her life-bound magic treasure.

In the field.

The Northern Suppression Tower cultivators did not immediately start fighting. After sweeping their gazes across the demonic cultivator camp, several pairs of eyes directly locked onto Wang Yu.

One of the Northern Suppression Tower cultivators, whose cultivation had reached the ninth layer of Nascent Soul, spoke: “You are the Supreme Law Profound Pill Demonic Lord, right? I heard you are the most eye-catching heavenly prodigy to emerge from the outside world in recent years.”

Wang Yu wore the Evil Demonic Dragon Armor. His face was covered by a pitch-black, ice-cold faceplate. A pair of blood-red eyes filled with killing intent stared out from the dark eye sockets.

“Why? A group of rats who sell their own female clansmen also want to step on this lord to make a name for themselves?”

On Kuangmei Mountain, under pressure from the Northern Suppression Tower’s demands.

Red Cloud Ancestor had withdrawn all Azure Cloud Sect and Blazing Sun Sect cultivators, completely handing the battlefield over to the Northern Suppression Tower. This was precisely because of the conditions they had proposed!

Clearly.

For some unknown reason, Wang Yu’s movements had been spied upon by them.

With only demonic cultivators and the Northern Suppression Tower’s own people present, after the battle ended they could simply claim it was demonic cultivators deliberately slandering them, and there would be no problem.

The pure-blooded Ice Clan could not leave the Endless Ice Plains.

Those human female cultivators had almost all been sent in by them. Even in the Crimson Kite, such behavior was shocking. Only the Joyous Union Demon Sect could do such a thing.

At first Wang Yu had suspected them, but later the Northern Suppression Tower became even more suspicious due to their geographical position. Now that Wang Yu questioned them to their faces.

They didn’t even bother acting anymore.

“Cultivating the ice dao in the Ice Prison Realm is a heaven-given advantage. The Ice Clan are natural ice dao beings born and raised by heaven and earth. Their attainments in ice and frost far surpass those of the human race.

“With such a trouble-free inheritance path available, why pursue the Frozen Demon inheritance? Isn’t it better not to be controlled by others?!”

Hearing this, Wang Yu let out a few sneers.

“Clowns on the stage… after doing such shameful things, you still want to erect a chastity arch for yourselves? If that’s the case, this lord can only say: You are right about everything!

Even demonic cultivators have higher moral standards than you Northern Suppression Tower lot when it comes to harming women and children.”

Unable to win the verbal exchange, the man’s forehead veins bulged with anger.

He said coldly, “Sharp tongue is useless. Let me see what evil tricks you, a mere junior, actually possess!”

With that, a massive ice mountain suddenly flew out from his body.

This was one of the complementary magic treasures of the Northern Suppression Tower’s inherited technique, [Heavy Water Ice Mountain]. It was formed by condensing nine layers of heavy water into ice, with every single drop of heavy water weighing as much as a thousand jun.

Condensed into an ice mountain, it crushed opponents with raw power.

Combined with its dense cold qi, it could even smash through spatial shields. Coupled with his ninth-layer Nascent Soul cultivation, he had already touched the limit of the Nascent Soul stage.

In his fury, he smashed the ice mountain straight toward Wang Yu’s head.

At that exact moment.

Ice Soul Fairy flew across horizontally. Her life-bound magic treasure, the Guanghan Palace, suddenly enlarged. The ice mountain collided with the palace, both trembling violently and shedding countless ice shards.

They were actually locked in a stalemate.

“I will be your opponent, you scum!”

Blueheart Elder and Heavenly Frost Demon Lord were both shocked. They had not expected that Ice Soul Fairy, who had been stuck at the eighth layer of Nascent Soul for so long… had actually broken through to the ninth layer.

That man also sensed the issue with Ice Soul Fairy’s cultivation. Realizing he was the only one who could deal with her, he left a harsh threat for Wang Yu.

“This lord will let you off for now. Once I finish dealing with this woman, I will personally skin you alive and pull out your tendons!”

With that, he engaged Ice Soul Fairy in battle.

Wang Yu’s three corpses jumped with rage as killing intent surged in his heart. He wanted to fight this fellow to decide who was superior.

This was the downside of having a big reputation.

Almost all the Northern Suppression Tower people had locked onto Wang Yu, as if he were a walking taunt machine. True Word King could not hold back seven mid-stage Nascent Souls by himself. The number he could handle at the same time was limited.

Wang Yu faced a handsome white-haired young male cultivator.

His real age was probably not low. He was at the seventh layer of Nascent Soul and had extremely rich combat experience. In the first few exchanges, Wang Yu tried to use his brute force advantage to trade injury for life, but all attempts failed.

On True Word King’s side, after the initial clash.

The seven mid-stage Nascent Souls immediately split up. Three of them broke away, one headed toward the Cold Blood Peak cultivators on the mountainside, while the other two turned back to surround Wang Yu.

It was clear that, in their judgment, using four people to pin down True Word King was the optimal solution.

Facing three opponents at once, Wang Yu inevitably took several divine abilities and showed signs of being suppressed for a moment.

It wasn’t that Wang Yu had become weaker. These people simply had very rich experience fighting together. Besides, this was only probing. There was no need to use their trump cards yet.

He was still holding back forty percent of his strength. He also had to consider that during the previous ambush on the Azure Cloud Sect team, he had revealed almost all his trump cards. The four survivors who escaped would definitely report every detail of the battle.

Trump cards such as the Guanghan Twelve Phases, Asura Dao intent, and Ten Directions Frozen Demon Fist might not be as effective this time.

If he wanted to achieve real results, the recently advanced fifth-rank perfected Aurora Escape Technique would be the obvious first choice!

To fully utilize his speed advantage, it was best to coordinate with the flow of others’ battles. What he needed to do was seize fleeting opportunities.

Facing the three-on-one siege, Wang Yu focused mainly on defense.

Secretly, he spread the Lock of Heaven from the spatial level, quietly sealing the entire space and disabling the fundamental escape ability of Nascent Souls — spatial shifting!

The situation temporarily reached a stalemate.

On the Cold Blood Peak main force’s side, Snowjade was working together with the clan leaders of the four Cold Blood clans. Using the power of the cold formation, they were barely managing to restrain that mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

From the looks of it, they could hold on for at most one-third of an incense stick’s time.

The time left for Wang Yu to look for an opportunity was not much.

His divine sense split to monitor the battles in various places. Wang Yu’s expression suddenly shifted. He saw True Word King’s entire body emitting brilliant golden light, with his throat area glowing especially bright gold.

The Nine-Character True Word Art was activated.

Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Zai, Qian, Xing — the nine large, shimmering golden characters formed a True Word Formation that trapped the four mid-stage Nascent Soul opponents inside the True Word Domain.

In this state, True Word King’s “Words Become Law” divine ability had greatly increased in power, while the burden on his body had decreased by nearly fifty percent.

That furry mouth was like the scythe of the God of Death.

It was as terrifying as the world’s most fearsome death curse technique, powerful to the point of being unreasonable.

“Your Nascent Soul will perish in three breaths.”

The old monkey spat blood as he made the declaration. The person he targeted felt his scalp go numb, sensing an overwhelming terror descending. Three breaths later, he really did fall from the sky.

There was no longer any Nascent Soul aura left in his body.

The old monkey continued,

“You… will be torn into pieces and die!”

The second “Words Become Law” caused dense cracks to appear all over the old monkey’s Diamond Ape body, and his aura dropped to the limit.

Killing two mid-stage Nascent Souls in quick succession was an enormous burden even within the True Word Domain. Moreover, the true function of “Words Become Law” was not to directly sentence the opponent to death.

It was to provide all kinds of detailed assistance during battle.

He was actually the best support. His frontal assault ability was not as strong as other great cultivators, which was why he could be pinned down by four opponents.

At this moment, the old monkey looked like he had reached the end of his strength.

This barely gave the other two the courage to act. They both summoned their life-bound magic treasures and launched lethal strikes from two different directions.

Wang Yu’s eyes lit up.

The Aurora Escape Technique moved like teleportation. In an instant, he broke free from the three-person encirclement. Not even a remnant shadow could be seen. As the three-pointed, double-edged spear stood upright.

“—Swoosh!”

Like a meteor streaking across the sky, carrying unparalleled divine strength. The Force Domain split apart all resistance ahead, including the air itself. The sky darkened for a moment.

Blood sprayed everywhere.

Wang Yu launched a sudden sneak attack from behind, piercing straight through the back of the person surrounding the old monkey. His physical body instantly tore into four pieces, and a downpour of blood rained down in an instant.

The Nascent Soul was also hooked into the Glazed Iceheart Pagoda by Wang Yu.

At the same time, he delivered a horizontal kick that sent the last opponent facing the old monkey flying like a meteor crashing into the ground, smashing out a pit of unknown depth.

Out of the twelve Northern Suppression Tower cultivators, three were already gone.

This forced the cultivator attacking the Cold Blood team to retreat and provide support. Wang Yu tossed out a fourth-rank healing spirit pill and said concisely,

“True Word King, can you still fight?”

The old monkey nodded and swallowed the pill without hesitation. “Words Become Law cannot be used for now, but this king’s true demon body can still fight.”

“Very good.

“These scum deserve to die by this lord’s hand.”

After achieving results, there was no longer any meaning in hiding his strength.

While the four opponents (one late-stage and three mid-stage) were regrouping and preparing for a second wave of attack.

Frost Moon crossed the sky!

The cold full moon manifested by the divine ability replaced the Taiyin Star in the sky. The Twelve Phases Sacred Bow appeared in his hand, paired with the Zhoutian Star Condensation Arrow Art.

A crescent moon imprint surfaced in Wang Yu’s eyes.

Void Moon Eye Technique — Space Solidification!

The bow was drawn to a full moon. The arrow drew a snow-white trail of light, aiming straight at Ice Soul Fairy’s opponent. She also understood tacitly and unleashed her Ice Soul Divine Light to the maximum.

The dodging space that should have existed was completely locked by Space Solidification.

The Northern Suppression Tower’s leading cultivator first took a direct hit from the Ice Soul Divine Light and was instantly frozen into an ice block. Wang Yu’s Guanghan Twelve Phases, condensed with Taiyin Star power, struck heavily.

It directly blew apart the upper half of the man’s body!

The remaining lower half kept wriggling with fleshy sprouts, as if he had cultivated some recovery secret art. Ice Soul Fairy naturally would not sit back and watch him recover.

Her life-bound magic treasure, Guanghan Palace, once again suppressed downward.

It was important to note that this was a treasure from the Ice Soul Holy Demon Scripture inheritance that possessed the same sealing and suppressing power as the Glazed Pagoda.

The flaw exposed during their exchange was successfully seized by Wang Yu. With the strongest cultivator of the Northern Suppression Tower suppressed, it meant no one could stop Ice Soul Fairy anymore.

The decisive battle at Kuangmei Mountain had already been decided at this moment.

What remained was only a matter of time. Now it was their turn to think about how to escape. How many could actually get away… was still unknown.

They had come with such aggressive momentum, boldly negotiating conditions with the Azure Cloud Sect.

In the end, they ended up in such a miserable state.

It was truly somewhat unexpected, and it had once again severely harmed the Azure Cloud Sect.

…

…

Ice River Pass battlefield.

Red Cloud Ancestor personally dealt with High Priest Youpeng. Holding the advantage of the defensive side, even though the opponent had merged with his life-bound yin beast, he still could not tear through the defensive line.

He could only watch as large numbers of demonic cultivators under his command died in front of the thousand-zhang ice wall of Ice River Pass.

The morale of demonic cultivators depended on results. Blindly sending themselves to death could not be sustained for long. Once they saw no chance of victory.

Even if threatened with beheading by military supervisors, they would most likely collapse and flee.

This survival instinct was deeply rooted in demonic cultivators and could not be changed by anyone.

It had not even been two quarters of an hour since the battle began.

Based on Red Cloud Ancestor’s experience, at most another half an hour and these damned demonic cultivators would retreat.

Seeing the cyan-black peng bird formed by High Priest Youpeng flap its wings and slash over again, Red Cloud should have countered with a divine ability to neutralize it and prevent the protective spiritual formation of the pass from consuming too much power.

Yet he suddenly froze for a moment.

Even with his cunning mind, he could not hide the shock on his face.

A messenger had delivered terrible news: the Northern Demon Race had mobilized in full force. Over thirty demon race Nascent Souls had launched a sneak attack on Ice River Pass from behind.

With such a huge gap in hard strength, the garrison in Ice Plains Prefecture had already been completely wiped out. At the same time, another group of over thirty demon race Nascent Souls, led by the Heavenly Roc King.

Was heading straight for the Azure Cloud Sect’s mountain gate headquarters, the Color Cloud Mountain Range!

They were clearly coming with the intention of destroying the Azure Cloud Sect. It was understandable that Red Cloud Ancestor could not maintain his composure upon suddenly hearing this news.

High Priest Youpeng was confused. With his strength, five or six full-powered attacks at most would break through the spiritual array of Ice River Pass.

Since Red Cloud Ancestor was no longer blocking, he naturally put in more effort.

He quickly gathered endless yin wind and slashed out several thousand-zhang wind blades. Their scale was no less than the city walls of Ice River Pass. Yet… still no one blocked them.

At this point.

Nascent Soul experts from both camps had noticed the problem.

Countless divine senses and spiritual eye secret techniques searched for Red Cloud Ancestor’s trace, only to find that the figure who had been there just moments ago had somehow disappeared from the city gate tower.

“This…”

Those with sharp minds had already started running.

A few breaths later, a burst of five-colored light swept across the sky, blowing away all the wind and rain.

The Five-Colors Holy Lord — had arrived!
