Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 3313 - 1251: Vermilion Bird Sweeps the Demon Cave, Xuan Luo Attains the Great Dao Path

In the span of a single year, the demon cave was turned upside down.

That Flying Bird Demon Spirit slaughtered its way out from within the Central Demon Abyss, and then, as if patrolling its own territory, launched a wanton massacre throughout the demon cave.

Any Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator exposed out in the open died on the spot without exception.

Even several Divine Transformation Great Powers, caught unprepared, fell one after another.

Fortunately, someone discovered this quickly and promptly notified the Demon Suppression Tower.

Thus, True Monarch Zhu Que descended!

The commotion at that time was immense!

A boundless Golden Light spread across the skies above the entire Dark Demon Cave, as though it intended to purify all things under heaven.

That was the outward phenomenon of the Demon Suppression Tower wielding its mighty power to forcefully bring True Monarch Zhu Que down.

Upon entering, True Monarch Zhu Que immediately grasped the general situation and flew straight for that Flying Bird Demon Spirit.

A battle at the Void Refining Level thus erupted!

The course of the battle had some twists and turns, yet overall held no great surprises.

Though True Monarch Zhu Que was suppressed by the environment of the demon cave, she was, after all, a formidable existence at the Late-stage Void Refining, and at her Peak had once joined forces with Refining Heaven Demon Monarch to besiege Qi Xia Emperor. Faced with a mere Demon Spirit, she held the advantage from the very start.

The so-called twists lay mainly in that Demon Spirit’s ability to leverage the environment of the Dark Demon Cave—once shattered, it could ceaselessly resurrect itself.

Though somewhat taken aback, Zhu Que, in her fury, had already resolved to utterly exterminate it.

She disregarded the Suppressing of the heaven-and-earth environment and forcefully unleashed her Original Divine Fire, burning that Demon Spirit alive over the course of several months until it was completely annihilated.

Having done all this, she did not withdraw.

To forcefully descend by using the power of the Demon Suppression Tower exacted an immense price.

And this price would inevitably have to be compensated by Tianyuan Daoist Sect later on.

Since she had already entered, that cost could not be wasted; she might as well hasten the dispersal of the Demon Caves and bring the Demon Suppression Trial to an early conclusion.

In this way, the losses could be minimized.

Thus!

After burning the Demon Spirit, True Monarch Zhu Que began, much like that Demon Spirit earlier, to sweep the Dark Demon Cave in a grand purge.

The difference was merely that one targeted Human Cultivators, while the other targeted the Demon Cave’s Demon Spirits.

As Zhu Que swept inward from the outer regions, all Demon Spirits perished wherever she passed, regardless of High-Order or Low Order.

The Demon Caves that stood in various places also suffered the most thorough blows under her great power.

It is easy to imagine that after such a calamity, the Dark Demon Cave would be left Greatly Diminished Vital Energy.

Even with another thousand years of recovery, it would never again attain its current flourishing state.

”One could say this benefits the next Yuan Mo Sect tasked with overseeing the Demon Suppression Trial.”

”No, that is not quite a benefit.”

”Yuan Mo Sect, cultivating Demon Realm Doctrine in Human Clan bodies, requires vast amounts of Demonic Qi. The more thoroughly I cleanse this place, the less they will profit next time.”

At this thought, True Monarch Zhu Que birthed a new notion.

Since she had come, why not make it even more thorough?

Her gaze turned toward the Central Demon Abyss!

The terminus of the Demon Suppression mission had always been the Central Demon Abyss; it was likewise the very source of the Dark Demon Cave!

Thus, she plunged alone into the Central Demon Abyss!

...

Within the Abyss shrouded in endless mist, a woman clad in flame-red robes hovered high above, overlooking the Demon Abyss below.

Oppressive, muffled beastly roars resounded at intervals around her ears.

Moreover, seven powerful Breaths no weaker than that previous Refining Void Demon Spirit were scattered in all directions, eyeing her like tigers watching their prey.

Perceiving this, True Monarch Zhu Que’s face twisted into a cold sneer.

”To think that in a mere thousand years the Dark Demon Cave has grown to such a climate. I wonder whether the previous Sect failed to complete the Demon Suppression mission, or whether, as Youdu’s side claims, some inexplicable impact struck the Mystic Realm and sparked a space tremor, allowing the Demon Realm to send over more Demonic Qi?”

Though she was strong, her status had yet to reach the pinnacle of this world.

As for such hidden secrets, she did not fully know.

But since she had come this far today, she would extinguish all dangers in their cradle.

Taking a deep breath, True Monarch Zhu Que formed a Dao Law Method seal, then slowly spread both hands.

Those Demon Spirits at the God Transformation Level were not worth her regard, yet Demon Spirits at the Refining Void Level were not so easily eradicated.

Especially while she was still under environmental Suppressing here.

Therefore, she prepared to exert her full strength!

The Dao Law Method took effect, and her hands opened wide.

The next instant.

A piercing cry rang out from her mouth, echoing across a thousand miles.

Thereupon, a vast illusory shadow rose up behind her.

Its hue was crimson, scorching beyond compare.

Its wings spread wide like the arms of a deity.

Atop a slender, graceful neck, the head of a Divine Bird manifested—none other than the legendary Vermilion Bird Dharma Aspect!

When the Vermilion Bird Dharma Aspect appeared, heaven and earth quivered.

Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi surged forth in torrents, gathering and knotting around the Dharma Aspect to form streams of air like Floating Ribbons.

A harmonious and sacred yet simultaneously overbearing and extreme Breath swept across a thousand miles in an instant.

Once born, this Vermilion Bird Dharma Aspect enveloped True Monarch Zhu Que within.

As the True Monarch’s cold gaze fell upon the Demon Abyss, the rather solid Vermilion Bird Dharma Aspect likewise opened its indifferent eyes.

”Though Suppressed by the demon cave, I can still wield sixty to seventy percent of my power. It is more than enough to eradicate the Demon Spirits here!”

With another shrill cry, True Monarch Zhu Que plunged straight into the Demon Abyss.

All who barred her path were crushed aside!

Any Divinity Transformation Demon Spirit that roared forth before her was scarcely able to withstand even a single exchange.

Even when Refining Void Demon Spirits emerged one after another to block her, they could not fully halt her advance.

On the contrary, under the burning of her Vermilion Bird Divine Fire, they retreated again and again.

Ferocious!

In this moment, only that single word could describe the poise and bearing of True Monarch Zhu Que.

Not only that, the Demon Caves within the Demon Abyss, where dense Demonic Qi condensed, were casually shattered one after another under her hand.
