Eternal Life from the Golden Needle Technique

Chapter 336: Chapter 333: 7 Absolutes Old Fiend

”The Seven Extremes Old Demon is said to have seven great True Disciples under his command. Each is an expert at or above the Soul Emergence Realm Middle Stage, serving as the pillars of the Seven Extremes Sect he established in the Nanyue Kingdom...”

High above the mist-shrouded valley,

the torrential rain pouring from the sky seemed to be silently corroded and absorbed as it fell into the thick, black mist.

So much so that, standing within it,

one couldn’t feel even a single drop of rain.

On the ground below,

the bare branches of withered trees stretched out, their twisted trunks like final, agonized screams before death.

Dense swarms of mountain leeches spread over the trees and ground like a black flood, an unnerving sight that made one’s skin crawl.

But at this moment,

Hong Yang, hovering in mid-air, had no time to pay attention to such things.

His gaze was locked onto the two figures before him.

His expression was more solemn than ever before.

”There are two other auras in the distance. If I’m not mistaken, one of them must belong to your first senior brother... my old friend, Ying Wuya, correct?”

Hong Yang’s voice was steady,

but his peripheral vision glanced toward the depths of the dark, gloomy valley behind them.

The words said ”old friend,”

but his tone was brimming with killing intent.

”Four of the seven have been deployed.”

”In other words, this time, the Seven Extremes Sect has sent out more than half of the Old Demon’s True Disciples!”

”What in the world are you trying to do?!”

Hong Yang’s face was grim.

It was no wonder he reacted this way.

The current situation had far exceeded his expectations.

He had originally thought

the disturbance was caused by some minor Demon Dao thieves who had snuck over from the Nanyue Kingdom. Dealing with them, given his strength, shouldn’t have been difficult.

So, after unexpectedly running into Shen Changchuan and Wu Tianhao,

he hadn’t thought twice about conscripting them.

He wanted to give his two junior brothers some experience while also preventing any stragglers from escaping,

lest they resurface later to cause more trouble in the Dragon Cloud Sect’s territory.

But now,

the two enemies before him, along with the auras in the distance, told him one thing without a doubt:

he had miscalculated from the very beginning!

He had made a huge mistake.

The Demon Cultivator culprits causing this chaos weren’t some small-time grunts who had fled from the Nanyue Kingdom,

but ferocious crocodiles that had been lying deep in hiding.

He had made a grave error—one that could cost his two junior brothers their lives.

’My two junior brothers vanished the moment we entered. It looks like they were teleported to the other side by an Array.’

’...Does that mean they sent someone else to intercept and kill them?’

Hong Yang’s expression remained unchanged as he scanned the aura farther to his right.

In that direction,

two auras of the Soul Emergence Realm Early Stage were confronting an evil, resentful aura of the Soul Emergence Realm Middle Stage.

’If I’m not mistaken,’

’that must be Shen Changchuan and Wu Tianhao, who were separated and teleported away the moment we came in!’

’I can’t delay any longer.’

’I have to end this quickly!’

In an instant,

Hong Yang had made his decision.

At the same time, the images of Shen Changchuan and Wu Tianhao flashed through his mind.

’I just hope they can hold on a little longer...’

”Hmph! This Border Desolate Forest was claimed by our master, the Seven Extremes Ancestor, long ago. He had plans for this place from the very beginning.”

”It was your master, Master Wandering Dragon, who interfered and ruined everything!”

”What are we trying to do?”

”Naturally, we are following our master’s orders to come here and give you people from the Dragon Cloud Sect a little challenge!”

Opposite Hong Yang,

one of the figures, who was emanating wisps of black qi and had an extremely evil and distorted presence, sneered.

Hong Yang said nothing

in response to the other’s words.

It was common knowledge

that the words of a Demon Cultivator could never be fully trusted.

More than half of the pillars of the Nanyue Kingdom’s Seven Extremes Sect were here. No one would believe there wasn’t a massive conspiracy afoot.

But it didn’t matter anymore.

Wasting his breath on them

was just a way to stall for time and prepare.

BOOM!!!

In an instant,

the Magical Power in Hong Yang’s body erupted like a volcano suppressed for a thousand years, unleashing a world-shaking tidal wave!

The visible waves of power caused the very air to distort, stirring up a terrifying storm of spiritual energy that swept through the area!

At this very moment,

Hong Yang’s entire body lit up with a crimson glow. In an instant, he looked like a piece of red-hot charcoal, radiating an intensely scorching brilliance!

An overwhelming and terrifying pressure instantly swept out in all directions!

In that single moment,

Hong Yang’s aura skyrocketed from the Soul Emergence Eighth Layer to the Ninth Layer Peak,

even reaching the level of Half-step Divine Travel!

The two Demon Cultivators facing him directly

turned pale, their eyes filled with utter terror.

”Dammit! It’s Sunburst!”

”Using a Secret Technique like this will consume a massive amount of Primordial Qi and even damage your foundation! Hong Yang, are you insane?!”

The Demon Cultivator opposite him cried out in terror.

Using a life-risking, ultimate Secret Technique right at the start of a fight...

’Are you the Demon Cultivator or am I?’

’How is it that you seem even crazier than I am?!’

With no time to think,

terrifying black light erupted from both Demon Cultivators. They pushed their auras to the absolute limit and retreated frantically.

At the same time,

layers of black light rose up.

The Array within the valley was activated to its fullest extent, forming multiple light screens

that blocked Hong Yang’s path.

’With him in this state, forget about trying to tie him down. We have to use the Array to stall and save our own lives!’

”I was the one who brought my two junior brothers here!”

”So it’s my responsibility to bring them back in one piece!”

Hong Yang’s gaze was incredibly solemn and serious.

The Blazing Sun brilliance on his body grew even more intense. His boundless Magical Power soared to the heavens, illuminating the entire mist-shrouded world!

His own will,

at this moment, was as brilliant as a diamond!

”Great Red Sun Flame Fist!”

Hong Yang threw a punch forward.

Terrifying power condensed in his fist.

In the next moment,

it transformed into a colossal, scorching wheel, like the sun descending upon the mortal world. It unleashed boundless power capable of shattering mountains and rivers as it blasted toward the Protective Array blocking its path!

RUMBLE!!!

A violent collision erupted, exploding outwards!

The entire valley,

in that instant, shook to its foundations!

...

「Meanwhile, on the other side.」

Shen Changchuan and Wu Tianhao hovered in mid-air, their expressions grim as they faced the figure across from them—a man wrapped in black bandages, emanating the aura of a bizarre power.

The opponent’s aura

was at least Soul Emergence Fourth Layer or higher!

”Junior Brother, we’re in trouble!”

”This person... if I’m not mistaken, I’m afraid he’s the fourth-ranked True Disciple under the Seven Extremes Old Demon of the Nanyue Kingdom—Deng Xin!”

Wu Tianhao let out a long breath, his face exceptionally grim.

”The Seven Extremes Old Demon?”

Shen Changchuan’s interest was piqued.

He recalled a widely discussed incident from several years ago.

”That’s right. The very same Seven Extremes Old Demon who was defeated by our master several years ago!”
