Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 341: Chapter 229: Blood Demon_1

“Haoqi Sect Master Li Qiankun!”

“Snow God Peak’s Sikong Ya!”

“Ice Polar Palace Master Yu Wuxin!”

“Venerable Wuque of Longhua Temple!”

“Vajra Sect’s Great Vajra Bright King!”

“Great Brahma Temple’s Fangzheng Amitabha Monk!”

“And the elder of Great Xing Mountain, Luo Lie!”

“Aside from the two supreme ones from Haoqi Sect and Snow God Peak, all seven Corpse Resolution Immortals have arrived.”

“Six Corpse Resolution Immortals, apart from the three Death Lands and the nine Demon Realms, where in the world can they not roam at will?”

“The alliance of the seven sects will surely succeed!”

“…”

With the arrival of the six great Corpse Resolution Immortals, the grand event reached its climax, and Great Xing Mountain swept away its previous declining spirit.

In recent years, facing the emergence of White Jade Capital, Great Xing Mountain had been continuously forced back, several Golden Core elders had fallen, and the capital’s grand formation had been breached, ultimately forcing a retreat to the Sect’s gates.

Such a fall from grace could not help but cause widespread panic.

But now the situation had reversed.

With the six Corpse Resolution Immortals together, even the birth of a Demon Realm could be forcefully suppressed.

That White Jade Capital, always hiding and never daring to show its true face, how could it confront the seven Corpse Resolution Immortals?

This grand event was surely without worries!

Everyone felt as if they’d taken a reassuring pill.

Meanwhile, at the summit, within the Ice and Snow Palace.

With Haoqi Sect’s Li Qiankun at the helm, the six great Corpse Resolution Immortals took their seats, but the host of the event was nowhere to be seen.

To this, the six of them didn’t say much, only casting their gazes downward.

Their gazes penetrated the earth and reached straight to the heart of the snowy mountain.

Great Xing Snow Mountain was not truly made of rock but water turned to ice; the Mountain Core was its icy heart.

Such a Mountain Core could be considered a ten-thousand-year-old ice essence, and could even be used as the main material to refine a Spiritual Treasure.

Alas, with the contamination of Demonic Qi, all entities were tainted, and even the ten-thousand-year-old ice essence could not remain unblemished. Even if a Refinement Grandmaster took action to turn it into a Spiritual Treasure, it would still be a Demon Object deeply rooted in Demonic Qi and difficult to cleanse.

It could not be relied upon.

To achieve Corpse Resolution, one could only seek fundamentally pure ancient Spiritual Treasures or Demon Transformation Spiritual Objects with self-purifying abilities.

However, this ten-thousand-year-old ice essence was not the Corpse Resolution’s foundation at this moment.

Within the Mountain Core, in the midst of the ice essence, a cluster of red flames burned.

The fire was blood-red, as scarlet as the blood of apes, so fervent that even the ten-thousand-year-old ice essence could not freeze it. It burned vigorously within the ice, even tending to condense into a liquid or a thick paste of blood.

With that, the scarlet flames burned and spread like living flesh, oozing with a bizarre and enchanting liveliness.

It was… a Demon Fetus!

The Golden Core was complete, and the Demon Fetus had formed.

To progress further, it was essential to undergo Corpse Resolution, sever all demonic nature and be liberated from the demonized fetal body.

Otherwise, one would sink together with the body and become a Demon Object entirely.

Now, as the elder of Great Xing Mountain had reached the critical stage of Nascent Soul Condensing, when demonic nature was most entangled, he naturally couldn’t appear to welcome the guests.

Whether he could condense the Nascent Soul and slaughter the demon would all depend on his own fate.

Others were powerless to help, nor were they willing to— at most, they would act as a backup, suppressing the Nascent Soul Demon Item should he fail.

This was the purpose of the Slaughtering Demon Corpse Resolution assembly.

Thus, the six sat silently, only watching the Demon Fetus.

Demon Fetus, Demon Fetus, Red Blood Demon Fetus.

Although Great Xing Mountain stood in the Northern Territory, famous for its ice-based Cultivation Techniques, this elder of Great Xing Mountain, Luo Lie, possessed a fiery Spiritual Root, half of which was of fire attribute.

“Water and fire Spiritual Root!”

“Ice Soul Fire Seed!”

“Truly mysterious.”

“For him to have found such Spiritual Objects, if he successfully undergoes Corpse Resolution this time, he might have the chance to ascend to Divinity Transformation in the future.”

“Looking across the world, among all the major sects, there are not few who complete the Golden Core; but only a handful have real hopes of Corpse Resolution.”

“With Taoist Friend Luo Lie in possession of the water and fire Spiritual Root, and with such a Spiritual Object as the Ice Soul Fire Seed, he is the most hopeful among them.”

“I hope he doesn’t disappoint us!”

Watching the Red Blood Demon Fetus at the heart of the mountain, the several Corpse Resolution Immortals saw a flicker of excitement in their eyes.

Currently, as the Demon Fetus was gestating, it was also at a turning point.

“Gu~lulu!”

“Pfft!!”

Suddenly, a bizarre, echoing sound emerged, much like a fetus gestating within the womb.

Within the icy core, amidst the scarlet flames, a burst of Spirit Light was expelled.

The six observing Corpse Resolution Immortals focused their gaze only to see a white and chubby infant, cradling a treasure tree sprouting Ice Branch Fire Leaf, emerging from its previous form.

Successful Nascent Soul Condensing was followed by Rebirth.

“Gululu gululu!”

Just as the Nascent Soul was about to leave the Demon Fetus, the mass of flesh-like scarlet flames suddenly surged violently.

The red flames of the Demon Fetus pulsated, vaguely forming a face twisted in agony. With a silent roar filled with fury and unwillingness, the blood-like red flames transformed into countless tendrils, reaching towards the purified Nascent Soul.

This was the filth of demonic nature, the malice of the Demon Fetus, unwilling to let the Nascent Soul break free.

With the Demon Fetus approaching, the Nascent Soul dared not delay. It immediately turned into a beam of Spirit Light and merged into the core of the Ice Branch Fire Leaf Spiritual Root.

A tier-four Demon Transformation Spiritual Object—the Ice Soul Fire Seed!

It was also the foundation for this Corpse Resolution, the key to slaughtering the demon.

As the Nascent Soul fused with the Ice Soul Fire Seed, the Corpse Resolution Immortal Law took root in the Spiritual Root, and the water and fire essence swiftly condensed, turning into an ice sword and a fire sword. They slashed at the thousands of bloody tendrils, aiming to sever the connection between the Demon Fetus and the body.

“Pff pff pff!”

With the might of water and fire, ice crystallized and Qi solidified, the two Wisdom Swords cut through the countless blood strands, and the Red Blood Demon Fetus screamed in pain, losing its strength to entangle any longer.

Seizing this opportunity, the Spiritual Root of the Ice Branch Fire Leaf broke free and flew out, emitting dazzling light of ice and fire, gradually congealing into a human silhouette.

After a moment, the figure became clear, and it was none other than a middle-aged Taoist Man with a bare crown, his left and right hair coiling upwards in ice and fire whorls.

It was Great Xing Mountain’s elder—Luo Lie!

“He’s done it!”

“So smoothly?”

“With ample preparation, it’s only natural!”

“We have one more companion now.”

Seeing such a scene, several Corpse Resolution Immortals in the Ice and Snow Palace chuckled.

At that moment…
