The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 524: Chapter 524: Blood Battle with the Great Demon (Part 1)_1

This Ten Thousand Eyes Demon known as Turi Ke... The sandstorm it cast just now, judging from its power, must be one of its nine strongest Spells. It’s enough to threaten a middle-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator!

If I were caught in this technique, even if my Dao Body is stronger than steel, I would end up with my flesh peeled off and bones turned to ashes.

Facing such a fierce and terrifying opponent, Shen Mo dared not be careless. He secretly spread the Nine-Extreme Crystal Sand throughout his Chakra, hoping that in an emergency, he could rely on this magic treasure to buy precious time to cast a spell and escape.

”Are you the little thief who, using your Dharma Eye Skill, burned over ten thousand of my kind to death a dozen or so days ago?”

The eyeballs all over Thousands-eyes Turi Ke’s body stared fixedly at Shen Mo, its gaze filled with three parts contempt and seven parts ferocity.

Before Shen Mo could reply, it continued to communicate via Divine Sense, ”Your Dharma Eye Skill is excellent! If I dig out your eyeballs and use them to nourish my own Dharma Eye, it will surely help me cultivate another powerful Immortal Law.”

”It wouldn’t be a waste of my breath, having pleaded with my Seniors for this wonderful task...”

Because it was a Divine Sense exchange, Shen Mo had no difficulty understanding its words. He could even more directly and clearly perceive the malice in the heart of this Ten Thousand Eyes Demon.

When he was slaughtering the Evil Demons, both great and small, in Golden Light Ridge, he had constantly used Pure Yang Fire. This obviously revealed him as the ”true culprit” behind the recent mountain fire!

However, the Thousand-eyed Demon, Turi Ke, didn’t care about the lives of what it called its ”kin.” It was merely coveting Shen Mo’s Pure Yang Pupil, wanting to take his eyeballs to nourish and strengthen itself.

This was also why, among the many Great Demons in Golden Light Ridge, it was a powerhouse from the Thousand-eyed lineage that had come to kill him.

”Heh!”

Shen Mo chuckled, a trace of ridicule on his face. ”I have six eyes. If you have the skill, feel free to dig them all out!”

He had three heads and thus naturally possessed two more pairs of eyes than an ordinary person. Any of these pairs could employ the Pure Yang Pupil Skill.

However, what the Thousand-eyed lineage desired was not merely ”eyeballs” in the literal sense.

They wanted the Dharma Eye, which possessed a trace of extraordinary characteristics and carried the power of a Skill. Digging out the eyeballs would inevitably mean the death of the Dharma Eye’s owner.

Otherwise, couldn’t I just cut off one of my heads and give it to Turi Ke to get it to look the other way?

Before Shen Mo finished speaking, he blinked at it.

FWOOSH!

Pure Yang Fire flared up at his will, descending upon the Ten Thousand Eyes Demon, Turi Ke, engulfing its grotesque, eye-studded, flesh-ball-like body.

Since it wants my Pure Yang Pupil, I’ll fulfill its wish!

POP! SIZZLE!

In an instant, more than ten of the eyes on the Ten Thousand Eyes Demon, Turi Ke, were seared ruined by the Pure Yang Fire. The eyeballs in the flame-engulfed area then burst like roasted chestnuts, splattering a clear liquid that was swiftly incinerated by the Pure Yang Fire, leaving not even a speck of ash, only a wisp of smoke as they rapidly shriveled and caved in!

Shen Mo’s five senses and Divine Sense allowed him to clearly hear the piercing, furious roar of Thousands-eyes Turi Ke.

Then, one of its eyes flickered with an eerie black light.

As the black light flashed, streams of black water materialized from thin air, pouring onto the Pure Yang Fire. Amidst a SIZZLING sound, the flames instantly dimmed and were then completely extinguished!

During this, Shen Mo, putting forth all his effort, activated the Pure Yang Pupil several more times.

However, the black water streams quickly extinguished them, making it difficult to inflict greater damage on this Ten Thousand Eyes Demon.

This was only the first exchange after they met. Having just extinguished the True Fire on its body, Turi Ke activated its Dharma Eye, transforming the rocks and soil on the ground into tens of thousands of terrifying rock blades.

Each rock blade possessed enough power to kill a late-stage Spirit Sea Realm cultivator. They formed a terrifying assault, like a tornado ascending from below, raging towards Shen Mo with a deafening howl!

Its power seemed slightly weaker than the sandstorm. This Spell ranked second among all its abilities, capable of threatening early-stage Golden Core Realm cultivators.

Even with Shen Mo’s unparalleled vitality, he did not want to be hit by this Spell. Otherwise, he would definitely get entangled and find it difficult to escape quickly. What would greet him afterward would be an endless series of deadly attacks.

Immediately, he waved the Demon Slaying Sword, slashing out streams of Universe Sword Qi, destroying a large number of the sharp rock blades.

But in the blink of an eye, a vast amount of rock and soil transformed into rock blades once more, slashing upwards. Their quantity was even greater than before, and their momentum even more shocking.

It’s predictable. As long as Turi Ke isn’t dead and its Mana isn’t exhausted, this Rock Tornado Spell will only get stronger. Currently, it only covers several li, but as time goes on, it will grow and spread until it covers tens or even hundreds of li!

BOOM!

RUMBLE!

Great swathes of Sword Light descended, destroying tens of thousands more rock blades. The next moment, the Demon Slaying Sword shot out from his hand.

WHOOSH!

The spiritual-level magic sword instantaneously transformed into a streak of Sword Light and had flown over a hundred li in an instant.

At the same time, Shen Mo’s freed arm also struck out a series of Palms, forming a defense like a solid copper wall and iron barrier in front of him, which also blasted away a large number of the sharp rock blades.

However, the onslaught of the Rock Tornado was relentless, and Thousands-eyes Turi Ke was also brewing new deadly attacks. Just as Shen Mo was about to be engulfed by the endless rock blades, at that moment, a streak of Sword Light lit up on him. In the next instant, he disappeared from his original spot. When he reappeared, he was over a hundred li away, where the Demon Slaying Sword was located.

Such a maneuver obviously utilized the movement-type Skill, Sword Escape!

A Class IV Great Demon is equivalent to a Human Cultivator in the Golden Core Realm. A Spirit Sea Realm Cultivator at their peak was vastly inferior in terms of life level, a gap akin to an insurmountable chasm.

Such existences possess an incredible amount of Mana. The Spells they cast can easily cover tens of li, even hundreds of li.

With the escape speed of a Spirit Sea Realm Cultivator, it is very difficult to flee the area covered by its Spells. But Shen Mo was different. Leaving aside external items like the Feather Transformation Charm on his person, his Sword Escape Skill alone was enough to allow him to maneuver freely. Whether to engage in a hard clash or evade strategically, he could act as he pleased, ensuring he wouldn’t fall into the opponent’s trap!

Having just used the Sword Escape Skill to break free from the range of Turi Ke’s Spell, Shen Mo gripped the Demon Slaying Sword tightly, its tip trembling slightly. In his field of vision, he fixed the Class IV Great Demon, Thousands-eyes Turi Ke, within a circle traced by the tip of his sword.

The Thousand-eyed Demon, Turi Ke, just as it was about to launch its prepared deadly attack at Shen Mo, suddenly felt the world spin around it.

By the time it recovered, it found itself in a strange world. This place had a sun, moon, and Stars; mountains, rivers, and oceans; flying birds and running beasts; flowers, birds, fish, and insects. But every scene and every object was composed of various kinds of sword Qi.

Before it had time to examine its surroundings closely, this small world began to bear down on it, grinding towards it like a terrifying millstone!
