Chapter 239: Chapter 167: The Battle of the Red Dust Immortal, The Terrifying Foundations of the Heavenly Demon Sect
Apart from the Great Sage Mu Yuan and the Buddha-Demon, that Tribulation Immortal and Demon Lord Huntuo were also extremely formidable.
They were each pressing down two massive clusters of Demonic Qi as huge as stars in battle, truly worthy of the titles Star Brigand King and Lord of the Demon Abyss, terrifyingly strong.
As for the other two Red Dust Immortals who used the Great Dao to mask their faces, perhaps for fear of exposing their identities, they only used the simplest power of Dao Principles to attack and did not employ Divine Skills or Immortal Techniques. Therefore, the strength they displayed was somewhat weaker, only managing to battle against a single Demon Lord.
Yang Ji watched closely, and through the Golden Finger, he knew that one of the Red Dust Immortals, who had a demonic aura soaring to the heavens, was actually a "Mystic Turtle" in true form. Even without utilizing Divine Skills, it was frighteningly strong, subtly overpowering the Demon Lord it was fighting against.
As for the other, although well-concealed and intentionally altering the attributes of his Cultivation Technique, Yang Ji still caught some clues from his moves.
"Wuji Immortal Scripture!"
This revelation greatly shocked Yang Ji. A Red Dust Immortal who cultivated the Wuji Immortal Scripture wasn't that their Wuji Dao Sect's ancient ancestor, "Elder Wuji"?
"I didn't expect the old ancestor to come. No wonder he's concealing his form and hiding his identity!" Yang Ji thought to himself.
The group of six people led by the Great Sage Mu Yuan were all extraordinary, managing to fight against eleven Demon Lords without falling behind.
At the same time, Yang Ji was also immensely shocked. He hadn't expected that the Heavenly Demon Sect actually had eleven Demon Lords, which was equivalent to the powerful existence of eleven Red Dust Immortals.
In the past two hundred thousand years, aided by the Taichu Divine Tree, the Heavenly Demon Sect had developed to such an extent; it was too terrifying.
If the Heavenly Demon Sect were to attack a Sect, who could withstand it? The appearance of eleven Demon Lords would be a scene of utter despair. It was unimaginable.
However, whether because of relying on the Taichu Divine Tree to transcend the Heavenly Tribulation and the resulting weakening of the tribulation, the strength of these Demon Lords was clearly a notch lower compared to the likes of Great Sage Mu Yuan. They were barely comparable to Elder Wuji and the Mystic Turtle without using any Divine Skills.
It seemed, to gain some, one must lose some!
Seeing this scene, Yang Ji couldn't help but ponder. If he used the Taichu Divine Tree to transcend the tribulation in the future and it affected his combat power, it would be a loss not worth the gain.
Indeed, in this world, benefits come with their drawbacks. If one had not experienced the complete baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation, how could they become stronger?
"Big brother, the Heavenly Demon Sect has not only eleven Demon Lords but also has five hidden in the depths of an unknown spacetime. That's the definite news I got from connecting with that sister Divine Tree," Shen Yin suddenly transmitted her voice.
"What? There are five more?" Yang Ji was shaken to the core, hardly able to believe that the Heavenly Demon Sect's heritage was so formidable.
A single Red Dust Immortal could hold up a Dao Sect, yet the Heavenly Demon Sect had sixteen Demon Lords, equivalent to the volume of sixteen Dao Sects, absolutely inconceivable, incredibly powerful to an outrageous extent.
Not to mention those Demon Gods who were comparable to Tribulation Immortals. With the protection of the Taichu Divine Tree, there must undoubtedly be a large number of Demon Emperors who had overcome the Heavenly Tribulation to become Demon Gods; their true depth was unimaginable.
If the Heavenly Demon Sect were allowed to develop for tens of thousands of years more, it might genuinely be capable of conquering the entire Taichu World.
Thinking of this, Yang Ji felt a chill down his spine.
But fortunately, those Demon Lords who relied on the Taichu Divine Tree to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation were all inferior Demon Lords, and their strength was much weaker than that of the Red Dust Immortals who had normally transcended the tribulation. Otherwise, with such power, they would truly be invincible.
It was unknown whether those five Demon Lords who had yet to take action had transcended the tribulation normally or through the Taichu Divine Tree. If they had done it normally, their strength would surely be terrifying, definitely on par with the Infernal Demon Lord, who was suppressed for two hundred thousand years by the Great Sage Mu Yuan before being worn down to death.
The reason those five Demon Lords had not taken action was presumably not to fully reveal their depth.
The eleven Demon Lords outside, although not the strongest, were still Demon Lords. With their advantage in numbers, the eleven massive clusters of Demonic Qi were enough to penetrate heaven and earth. Each cluster of Demonic Qi contained an unparalleled aura as if challenging the heavens themselves.
Each of the eleven Demon Lords was ferociously violent, with a single grab shattering millions of miles of land as if crushing an egg.
In the battle of these powerhouses, the Vital Qi was too chaotic, and within that boundless continent, it was truly a scene of primordial chaos. Even though Yang Ji employed all his means, he struggled to keep up with their battle movements, only able to see massive clusters of Qi, as big as stars, colliding with each other.
Suddenly, Yang Ji saw a strong golden halo rising from within the continent. In an instant, it expanded countless times, filling the entire heaven and earth.
Yang Ji felt the immense Power of the Great Dao emanating from it and, before long, a shocking voice reached his ears.
"I want the sun and moon to lose their light, the heavens to collapse, and the earth to disintegrate. I want your demon souls to scatter, your Demon Bodies to crumble!"
"The Law Follows The Word! This is an Immortal Technique! Great Sage Mu Yuan is getting serious!" Yang Ji's heart trembled. Mu Yuan had been a Red Dust Immortal for over two hundred thousand years; his strength was undoubtedly formidable. Once this Immortal Technique of The Law Follows The Word was unleashed, the heavens split and the earth shattered instantly.
The power of the collapsing world spread out, causing the two Demon Lords who were battling him to be caught as if in a quagmire.
Soon, The Law Follows The Word took effect on them, their expressions changed abruptly, and they were in pain. Their Demon Bodies also turned into two massive clusters of Origin Demonic Qi and dissipated instantly.
But they were, after all, Demon Lords. Their forms reconstituted once again, but their expressions were noticeably more somber, and their gaze towards the Great Sage Mu Yuan was filled with much more dread, obviously injured to their core.
