Chapter 261: Chapter 178: Battle to Annihilate the Sect (Part 1)

The power of this “Thunder Beast” is too strong, it can actually unleash Purple Sky Thunder, specifically restraining the Demon Techniques of Soul Cultivators, Corpse Cultivators, and Blood Cultivators.

Human Cultivators look at Spirit Root talent, while Demon Beasts look at bloodline potential.

The better the Spirit Root talent of Human Cultivators, the stronger their foundation, the higher their future achievements. Demon Beasts, Spirit Beasts, True Spirits, and these beast types focus more on bloodline purity and the inheritance of lifebound divine techniques.

The Purple Sky Thunder Beast can actually release Purple Sky Divine Thunder, its talent and potential must be exceptional,

The three Blood Essence Demon Venerables exchanged glances, their eyes flashed with a ghostly light, and without any words, they turned and fled rapidly.

The vast Sea of Blood followed the Blood Essence Demon Venerable, and the disciples of the Nine Demons Sect hidden within the Sea of Blood revealed themselves, all with expressions of fear, as if disaster had struck, and they fled for their lives.

“They’ve fled?”

“Hahaha, Lord Beast God is mighty.”

“We won! We’ve won!”

“The Nine Demons Sect is nothing much, Beast Taming Peak disciples heed the order, pursue the remnants of the Nine Demons Sect with Lord Divine Beast.”

“….”

Seeing the situation clear, it’s the perfect time to hunt down the remnants of the Nine Demons Sect. The Nascent Soul True Monarchs, brimming with anger, loudly commanded the disciples to follow the Purple Sky Thunder Beast in pursuing the Demon Cultivators.

Venerable Lei Hong and Venerable Qingwei were exhilarated, eager to join the pursuit personally.

Li Mu furrowed his brows, seeing the Spirit Taming Sect almost entirely rushing out to hunt down the disciples of the Nine Demons Sect, with the situation almost completely one-sided, he faintly sensed that something was amiss.

This battle, even with the intervention of a Tier Seven True Spirit, shouldn’t have ended so easily, right?

Li Mu furrowed his brows tight, feeling a bit uneasy.

This time, the Nine Demons Sect sent three Divinity Transformation Demon Venerables. Even if they were unaware of the Spirit Taming Sect possessing a powerful Tier Seven True Spirit, they shouldn’t have been defeated so swiftly!

Previously, the Nine Demons Sect, in dealing with the Qing Xuan Sect, employed endless tactics, first ambushing and killing the Qing Xuan Sect’s Sect Master, Qing Qian True Monarch, as well as most of the main forces, then destroying the Qing Xuan Sect’s Sect Protection Array, …,

If it weren’t for him just passing the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation, defeating the Tian Jue Demon Venerable in a surprise attack, the Qing Xuan Sect might have been conquered by the Nine Demons Sect.

This time, with the appearance of the Purple Sky Thunder Beast, the Nine Demons Sect’s main force had yet to suffer many casualties, yet they crumbled during a brief engagement, clearly unreasonable.

Could it be a Lure Strategy?

If the Nine Demons Sect had set an ambush, the twenty-odd Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Spirit Taming Sect and two Divinity Transformation Realm experts entering to kill enemies, if caught in a trap, it would surely be a disaster.

Among the five major sects opposing the Nine Demons Sect, one has already been eliminated, leaving the other four in peril.

Li Mu furrowed his brows, realizing the situation was increasingly off.

Seeing the disciples of the Spirit Taming Sect ready to charge out of the grand array to chase down the remnants of the Nine Demons Sect,

Li Mu hurriedly spoke up, amplifying his voice to stop them: “Everyone, please wait a moment, don’t chase after a cornered enemy!”

Hearing this, everyone paused in confusion, all looking towards Li Mu.

“Fellow Daoist Li, what’s on your mind?”

Venerable Lei Hong stepped forward, looking at Li Mu with a puzzled expression.

“Everyone, the Nine Demons Sect’s invasion and their easy retreat this time seem like a Lure Strategy. The people of the Nine Demons Sect have always been extremely cunning, we must take precautions against deception! It’s better to stay within the array and watch for changes!” Li Mu explained to Venerable Lei Hong and the Nascent Soul disciples.

Hearing this, Venerable Lei Hong and Venerable Qingwei exchanged a glance, their brows furrowed, revealing a look of alertness.

On the scene, the Nascent Soul True Monarchs looked at each other, starting to discuss among themselves.

“How could it be, so many Nine Demons Sect disciples died?”

“Fellow Daoist Li might have a point! The Nine Demons Sect has always been ruthless to achieve their goals. It’s possible they’d sacrifice their disciples’ lives to set a Lure Strategy!”

“They were unaware of the presence of Lord Beast God. With the Beast God’s great might, they were terrified. Now is the time to take advantage of the victory!”

“That’s right, with the Beast God already on the chase, we must hurry to support it!”

“Fellow Daoist Li, perhaps you’re overthinking this!”

…

The Nascent Soul True Monarchs spoke one after another. Most were inclined to leave the array and continue hunting the members of the Nine Demons Sect, taking the opportunity to expand the victory.

“The appearance of Lord Beast God with great might is a game-changer. The Nine Demons Sect didn’t anticipate it, leading to their defeat. Now is the best time to seize this opportunity, not to be missed! Slaying more Demon Cultivators will ease more of Lord Beast God’s burden.” Nascent Soul Cultivator Huang Long True Monarch spoke loudly to the crowd.

Just as Huang Long True Monarch finished speaking, a massive explosion erupted on the battlefield ahead, accompanied by startling thunder.

The Purple Sky Thunder Beast once again displayed great might, unleashing large amounts of purple thunder, slaughtering the fleeing Nine Demons Sect disciples.

“Charge everyone! Assist Lord Divine Beast, extirpate the remnants of the Demon Sect!”

At this moment, a Nascent Soul True Monarch in the crowd raised an arm and shouted loudly.

“Charge!”

“Kill! Kill!”

The next moment, the disciples of the Spirit Taming Sect boiled over, soaring with their swords, charging towards the area where the Purple Sky Thunder Beast was frantically attacking.

Seeing this, Li Mu sighed, watching hundreds or thousands of enthusiastic Spirit Taming Sect disciples soar on their swords and ride their Spirit Beasts, courageously charging towards the battlefield.

Seeing such a scene, Li Mu refrained from further stopping them!

I hope I am just overthinking!

Li Mu inwardly sighed, watching as Venerable Lei Hong and Venerable Qingwei also joined the battlefield, swords raised and falling, harvesting the lives of one Demon Sect disciple after another like cutting wheat.

Li Mu hesitated momentarily, unsure whether to join in or leave altogether.

However, seeing Celestial Vast True Monarch leading a group of Golden Core disciples and Foundation Establishment disciples, heading to the battlefield to slaughter the Nine Demons Sect disciples, Li Mu couldn’t help but chuckle wryly.

The Extreme Yang Celestial Fire is with Celestial Vast True Monarch.

If the Nine Demons Sect has indeed set an ambush, with Celestial Vast True Monarch’s cultivation strength, he certainly wouldn’t escape. At that time, if the Celestial Fire falls into the hands of the Nine Demons Sect, retrieving it would be challenging!

If he gives up on the Extreme Yang Celestial Fire, who knows when Li Mu will find another Celestial Fire, perhaps decades, even hundreds of years.

Li Mu was sure he didn’t want to wait that long.

Li Mu thought it over, weighed the pros and cons, and soon made a decision.

To quickly enhance his Artifact Refining Technique, Li Mu decided to join the field and act according to the situation.

If the Nine Demons Sect set an ambush, once caught in the trap, Celestial Vast True Monarch, an average Nascent Soul True Monarch, would surely be unable to escape.

Li Mu was confident he could rescue him, and if successful, perhaps he’d have a chance to acquire the Extreme Yang Celestial Fire from him.

Li Mu flew with his sword towards Celestial Vast True Monarch, slowly landing in front of him.

“Celestial Vast True Monarch, …” Li Mu greeted Celestial Vast True Monarch.

Seeing Li Mu, Celestial Vast True Monarch’s face immediately turned cold.

“Fellow Daoist Li! I’m sincerely sorry, but this Extreme Yang Celestial Fire was obtained by me through trials of life and death, it is extremely precious to me. As an Artifact Refiner, you should understand the importance of Celestial Fire to one of our kind. This Celestial Fire is more important than my life, and I simply cannot part with it, my apologies!” Celestial Vast True Monarch interrupted before Li Mu could finish speaking, directly and without hesitation.

Possessing an Exotic Treasure, Celestial Vast True Monarch had to remain cautious of this “Sword Immortal Li,” as the other’s strength equaled Divinity Transformation; if ill intentions arose and he wished to kill him, it would be too easy.

Currently, they were within the Spirit Taming Sect, preventing the other from doing anything rash, but outside, who could tell if he’d commit murder for treasure.

Celestial Vast True Monarch’s face was full of caution towards Li Mu, unwilling to converse more, and turned to leave.

Understanding Celestial Vast True Monarch’s thoughts, Li Mu chuckled bitterly, saying, “Celestial Vast True Monarch, you misunderstand, I have no habit of stealing from others. If I can’t have it, I’ll give up, rest assured.”

Celestial Vast True Monarch was silent, giving Li Mu a meaningful look, then turned with his fellow sect members to leave.

Unwilling to make a fool of himself, Li Mu watched Celestial Vast True Monarch’s group depart, then operated the Star Nebula Visualization Method, extending his Divine Thought to monitor the entire battlefield.

Soon, within the hundred-mile range of the “Star Concealment” Divine Thought, Li Mu “saw” a brutal scene, simultaneously sensing some new discoveries, although unable to confirm the reality of these changes.
