Cultivation: I Signed in with the Talent of an Immortal at the Start

Chapter 425: Demon Race Suffers Setbacks Divine Ability Takes Shape

Everyone couldn’t help but laugh at his words.

“Junior Brother Lu, you must not belittle yourself. The Human Emperor’s Great Dao you walk, accumulating power and merit, concerns the well-being of billions of living beings and the rise and fall of a race’s fortune. Its Foundation and the breadth of its involvement are far beyond what we can achieve by simply focusing on our own Dao. Once it takes shape, it will be like rivers rushing to the sea, unstoppable.”

Li Taiqing said with a smile.

He naturally knew that Lu Fan’s words were humble.

No one was clear about Lu Fan’s true strength, but his superficial Realm alone was already on par with Jiang Hao and Su Ming.

“Exactly, Senior Brother Lu, you are the Human Emperor, governing the Human Race. When you grow up, will even Master have to listen to you?”

Lin Potian teased.

Hearing this, Lu Fan’s expression changed.

He looked left and right like a thief and quickly covered Lin Potian’s big mouth:

“What are you saying?! You blockhead, have I offended you, your Senior Brother, usually?”

Lu Fan knew Lin Potian was joking, but he was still a little anxious:

“How can you say such things carelessly? Master’s Divine Ability is vast; a single thought can know the past and future. If he hears your words, he might think that I, Lu Fan, have become arrogant and ignorant after a little achievement, wanting to betray my Master and destroy my ancestors! If Master sends down a single thought then, I, the Human Emperor, will be purged before I even succeed!”

His exaggerated reaction and words, coupled with his nervous expression, as if he genuinely feared being overheard by Han Xuanji, immediately made the others unable to hold back their laughter.

They knew Lu Fan was deliberately acting, but for some reason, it felt…

not like acting.

Li Taiqing also shook his head with a smile and said gently:

“Junior Brother Potian is unrestrained with his words. Junior Brother Lu, there’s no need to be so nervous. Master’s Realm is transcendent; how could he mind such a joke? Besides, the deep affection between us Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers is something Master is happy to see.”

Su Ming glanced at Lin Potian, who was still smirking with his mouth covered, then at Lu Fan, who looked like he was facing a formidable enemy, and chuckled:

“You’ve spoken Lu Junior Brother’s secret delusion, how can he not be anxious?”

His tone carried obvious teasing, instantly making the atmosphere cheerful.

Even Nangong Wenjian, usually aloof and quiet, was suppressing a laugh.

The longsword in his embrace trembled slightly, emitting a faint clear chime, as if silently laughing as well.

Finally, Jiang Hao brought the topic back to the main point:

“This time, for the Demon Race calamity, Master ordered us to come, and also had Senior Little Red follow along.”

“Senior Little Red is here too?”

Lu Fan’s spirits lifted.

With a Powerful Expert like Little Red presiding, he felt much more at ease.

“And Master said that if the Great Heavenly Demon makes a move, he won’t stand idly by either.”

“Tsk tsk, maybe we’ll get to see Master make a move again!”

Lu Fan was extremely excited.

At these words, everyone felt a sense of reminiscence.

Every time Han Xuanji made a move, it was earth-shattering, turning the world upside down.

However, there weren’t many people left who could make Han Xuanji act.

Perhaps those of the Great Heavenly Demon’s Rank could make him act.

“No matter what, this is precisely the time for us Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers to make a name for ourselves and achieve great deeds!”

“That’s right, that’s right, it’s time to let everyone know the might of our Myriad Manifestations lineage!”

After years of arduous cultivation, it would be a lie to say there wasn’t a desire to emerge and make a name for oneself…

Time slowly passed.

With the addition of Grand Unity Golden Immortals like Su Ming and Jiang Hao, the Lingxu Immortal Domain allied army’s morale greatly boosted, and its combat power underwent a qualitative leap.

The counterattack quickly began.

Lu Fan presided over the central command, strategizing and precisely capturing the gaps and weak points in the Demon Race’s vanguard legions.

He also enveloped his side with Human Emperor’s fortune, making it difficult for their heavenly secrets to be divined.

Meanwhile, Jiang Hao, Nangong Wenjian, Li Taiqing, Han You, Lin Potian, and Su Ming, the six Grand Unity Golden Immortals, attacked.

Together with other Grand Luo Ancestors, they launched seven consecutive surprise attacks, achieving victory in every single one!

They killed two Demon Race Devil Kings of the Grand Luo Rank, over twenty Demon Generals of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Rank, and countless Demon Race leaders of the Golden Immortal Rank!

The Demon Race’s previously unstoppable offensive in the Lingxu Immortal Domain was forcefully halted!

The Lingxu Immortal Domain suffered far fewer casualties than expected, achieving a great victory!

The news of the victory spread back to Shenji City and even to other Immortal Realms like Beidou, shocking the entire world!

However, such brilliant results naturally thoroughly enraged the Demon Race’s high command.

Within a magnificent demon hall shrouded in dense Devilish Qi, several terrifying figures enveloped in monstrous demonic flames were roaring.

“Useless! All useless! A mere Lingxu Immortal Domain has caused our race such heavy losses! The vanguard legion is almost crippled!”

A Demon Race Great Power of the Hunyuan Rank roared, the sound waves making the demon hall buzz.

“Those Human Race Grand Luo are not simple; each of them is not an ordinary Grand Unity Golden Immortal, but a top-tier expert within their Realm.”

Another Demon Race Powerful Expert, shrouded in black mist with only two crimson eyes visible, spoke in a cold voice.

“We cannot let them continue! Otherwise, we will lose all face and become the laughingstock of the entire Demon Race!”

It should be known that the Demon Race was not only attacking the Lingxu Immortal Domain; they were also launching fierce offensives in other bordering areas with excellent results.

How did they fall into a stalemate here?

Some even blamed this setback on the Demon Master.

Suddenly, someone suggested:

“Let’s just flatten Shenji City with a thunderous strike, kill those Human Race Prodigies, and awe all Realms!”

The tone was chilling, clearly indicating they couldn’t stand it anymore.

At these words, the demon hall fell silent for a moment.

Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal Realm Powerful Experts were strategic-level existences who would not easily enter a Realm war in its Early Stages, to avoid triggering a chain reaction from opposing Powerful Experts of the same Rank, or even causing higher-level confrontations to erupt prematurely.

But the current setback in the Lingxu Immortal Domain indeed made some high-ranking Demon Race members impatient.

“Flatten Shenji City?”

The Demon Master’s voice betrayed no emotion.

“Do you all know what kind of existence is presiding over that Lingxu Immortal Domain?”

“Nine Nether Devouring Phoenix.”

These few words seemed to possess some kind of magical power, causing the demons who were just boiling with killing intent and clamoring to attack to instantly fall silent.

The Nine Nether Devouring Phoenix, a Primeval Demon God!

It once almost devoured the Reincarnation of the Immortal Realm, its fierce might shaking the past and present!

Even after countless years, many speculated that its Realm had fallen, but it was still an extremely dangerous and unprovokable terrifying existence!

“Let’s reconsider…”

“If it really doesn’t work, then please ask Great Heavenly Demon Lord to make a move…”

“Inviting this Lord so early, wouldn’t it make us seem incompetent?”

The demons conversed back and forth, but couldn’t come up with anything conclusive.

The Demon Master sighed inwardly, not in a hurry to attack.

He glanced at the Four Heavenly Demons, who still maintained their calm and composed demeanor, not clamoring to make a move or anything…

On the other side, Han Xuanji was deducing Divine Abilities, and several vague directions gradually took shape in his mind.
