I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

It was a strange demon, about ten feet tall, standing on two feet with four ears, a beak like Thunder God, a blue face with tusks, and a fierce expression like flaming wrath.

He wore an iron-black armor and a black-gold embroidered cloak adorned with twenty-four pearls. At his waist hung a black jade ring, giving him a luxurious appearance, resembling a noble of the human world.

Yet, the demon aura was chillingly terrifying, flickering with lightning, evidently a Great Demon Race at the late stage of Earth Demon, surpassing the Mountain Lord Tiger Demon of the Yinfeng Mountain Range in strength by far.

”Are you the demon behind the theft of Spirit Ore?”

Gu Yuan couldn’t help but frown and ask.

He originally thought he would lure out some mastermind, but unexpectedly, it was a member of the Demon Race that came.

This did not match his expectations.

”Ha!”

But the demon race member didn’t answer, only glaring fiercely and shouting loudly.

This shout was like a sudden clap of thunder, causing the mountains to crumble, and a terrifying sound wave rolled forth.

This demon didn’t make a move easily, but once it did, it was earth-shattering.

The roar alone was a high-level profound Sound Dao Seal.

All the miasma on the mountain suddenly vanished, as if an invisible bomb in the void was compressing, reaching the utmost speed, and charging towards Gu Yuan.

”Thunder Armor Seal!”

With a thought, Gu Yuan immediately gathered lightning, enveloping himself like a thick layer of thunder armor, protecting him firmly.

”Bang!”

The lightning vanished, and the sound waves shook the sky. In an instant, the two forces counteracted each other, dispersing into invisibility.

”Hey!”

The demon shouted again with a spring thunder from his tongue, and a blue electric light suddenly appeared in the sky, rushing straight down towards Gu Yuan.

”Slash!”

Gu Yuan gave a light shout, and the Golden Bamboo Sword spiraled, the sharp sword light soared to meet the lightning, slicing it apart directly.

Moreover, with a thought, the sword light split into thirty brilliant beams, swirling like silver dragons, slashing towards the demon’s head with the momentum of thunder.

Since the Golden Bamboo Sword ascended to a high-grade Spiritual Artifact, Gu Yuan’s Boundless Sword Seal had reached a small accomplishment.

In the Foundation Establishment Realm, he had no match.

Not even late-stage Foundation Establishment great cultivators could withstand a single round against him.

Within a hundred miles, taking an enemy’s head was as easy as fetching something from a bag!

”Rise!”

The demon seemed to understand the gravity of the situation, his expression solemn as he swung the cloak behind him forcefully.

The twenty-four pearls on the cloak suddenly shone brightly, shooting out spiritual light.

Upon inspection, each was found to be a middle-grade Spiritual Artifact.

Previously embedded in the cloak, they didn’t reveal a trace of aura, appearing as ordinary objects.

And that cloak transformed instantly, expanding in the wind like a scroll slowly unfolding.

Mountains and rivers emerged at the top, lights flowing, revealing itself as a high-grade Spiritual Artifact array map!

”Fix!”

The twenty-four Spirit Pearls landed into the array map swiftly in a profoundly mysterious manner.

In that instant, spiritual light soared, and a terrifying power of imprisonment erupted from the array map.

This power exceeded the limits of high-grade Spiritual Artifacts, touching upon a thread of profound mystery.

”Buzzing!”

The sword light, once as swift as thunder, suddenly halted.

As if endless phantom shadows of mountains and rivers pressed down on the Golden Bamboo Sword.

The material of the high-grade Spiritual Artifact Golden Bamboo Sword and its thirty sharp sword lights felt a tremendous pressure, unable to help but emit a whimper, immobilized.

Furthermore, a formless power of imprisonment fixed the circulation, rendering all spiritual artifacts ineffective, hard to deploy.

Seeing the Golden Bamboo Sword pressed, a slight gleam of joy appeared in the demon’s eyes.

His efforts had not been in vain.

But he knew well that it was not the time to relax.

His eyes narrowed, a Dharma Seal mingling with lightning and radiating five-colored divine light in his abdomen trembled violently.

”Rise!”

He shouted angrily in his heart, rolling all his mana, pouring it into the Dharma Seal nearly without reservation.

Having cultivated for many years, he understood the principle of a one-kill strike.

Now was not the time to hold back.

In his palm, divine light surged, and a five-colored lightning burst forth with a thunderous sound, aiming directly at Gu Yuan’s face.

This demon, with its blue face and tusks, looked nefarious, yet this lightning was righteous, containing the Qi of the Five Elements, overwhelmingly aggressive.

”Boom!”

Between heaven and earth, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck, seemingly echoing this flash of lightning.

Gu Yuan’s face also showed a solemn expression.

Even though the demon had only used a few methods, each was profound and unmatched, rivaling his own techniques.

Even if a late-stage Foundation Establishment demon’s body were struck by this Five Elements Divine Thunder, they would likely be doomed.

Moreover, the demon’s demonic power was more abundant and surging than his mana, which cultivated three Qi simultaneously.

After all, he was only mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

”Leaving Realm Clarity Seal!”

Facing such a vast lightning, Gu Yuan deployed a transparent Dharma Seal.

An invisible ripple spread, enveloping him like a bubble.

The fierce lightning, which is most restraining to the Leaving Realm Clarity Seal—dubbed ”impervious to a thousand techniques”—a defensive seal.

”Clang!”

But the vast lightning struck the bubble, emitting a sound like metal clashing.

An unintentional stream of golden light circulated on the transparent bubble, and the Leaving Realm Clarity Seal dubbed ”impervious to a thousand techniques” seemed to be reborn, truly reaching the profound realm of being impervious to a thousand techniques.

The demon’s face changed abruptly.

”Slash!”

At that moment, Gu Yuan flicked his hand, and a rich, spiritual golden light burst into the Golden Bamboo Sword.

”Buzzing!”

The Golden Bamboo Sword trembled incessantly, as if injected with adrenaline, giving a fierce shake, shattering the ”mountains and rivers” pressing down on it into powder.
