The First Immortal of Destiny

The clash between the two Creation Arrays was like a battle between two unparalleled experts.

One of them was already lacking in strength and had revealed a major flaw, leaving him with no fate but defeat and death!

The hundred-thousand-strong Demonic Array where Liu Sanmei was located crumbled in an instant under terrifying pressure. The demons inside were either dead or injured... Shen Mo immediately unleashed a wave of Fairyland Sword Qi, sweeping all these demons, dead or alive, into the Demon Zone of the Green Cloud Cave.

The demons of all sizes from the Chaotic Stone Stockade who remained loyal to Shen Mo were selected by him and placed in a separate, safe area within the Demon Zone. This was to prevent them from suffering reprisals from the Hou Corpse Cave demons and being torn to shreds.

Shen Mo had already planned the fate of the demons, both large and small, from Hou Corpse Cave.

A portion would be reared to serve as cultivation resources for the Red Flame Sect Members, much like other Outer Zone demons. Another portion would be refined into Soul Generals and variant Demon Soul Generals to expand the scale of the Creation Array. The remainder would become blood food for the Demon Soul Generals, in an effort to cultivate more high-class Demon Soul Generals!

However, Shen Mo had no time to deal with them at the moment.

Within the Green Cloud Cave, the life and death of all demons below Class V were at his mercy. He could deal with them after the battle here concluded.

With one of the three Demonic Arrays broken, the remaining large and small arrays could no longer contend with the Red Flame Sect’s array. Their destruction was merely a matter of time.

Subsequently, Shen Mo, wielding the Taiyi Sword and activating his Cloud Thunder Wings, charged towards the Corpse King, who was fiercely battling the Class V Soul General Banzhi Jiaming!

「...」

On the battlefield, Demon Clouds roiled and Blood Qi surged to the heavens!

The battle between the Red Flame Sect and Hou Corpse Cave on the mountainside of South Slope Mountain raged with extreme ferocity for over ten days.

The great demons, the Corpse King and Pig Demon Heisha, fell one after another at Shen Mo’s hands. Their souls were drawn by the Blood River into the Soul Refining Flag and, after a short time, refined into high-class Soul Generals.

Including Fairy Pei Yu, Banzhi Jiaming, and Fox Demon Pei Wanchen, the number of Class V Soul Generals under Shen Mo’s command surged to five, instantly reversing the situation where the enemy had been stronger.

The hundred-thousand-strong and three-hundred-thousand-strong Demonic Arrays of Hou Corpse Cave were successively destroyed under the relentless attacks of Shen Mo, his Class V Demon Soul Generals, and the Red Flame Sect’s array. The demons within suffered heavy casualties and, as before, were all taken into the Fairyland by Shen Mo!

BOOM!

As Shen Mo was collecting the last batch of surviving demons and their corpses into the Fairyland, Shan Hao finally shattered a corner of the Demon Soul Generals Array. He transformed into a gust of sinister, baleful light and broke out.

A single glance outside the array was enough for him to realize the situation was hopeless. Without any hesitation, not even pausing to utter a threat, he activated the Ocher Immortal Slaying Bracelet to protect himself and fled as an escaping light!

This Class V great demon didn’t flee towards Hou Corpse Cave at the foot of the mountain, but towards the peak of South Slope Mountain.

Shen Mo watched his receding silhouette, a contemplative look in his eyes. I should head to Hou Corpse Cave first and deal with the millions of demons there. After all, Shan Hao is difficult to kill, and his demise might attract the attention of True Immortals. Besides, apart from that Lower-grade Spiritual Treasure, the Ocher Immortal Slaying Bracelet, there was nothing else on him worth the effort of a full-blown pursuit. His Soul Body could indeed be refined into a middle-stage Class V Demon Soul General. However, with an abundance of blood food now available, it would be easier to advance Fairy Pei Yu and the other early-stage Class V Demon Soul Generals to the middle-stage. I’ve also already obtained the refinement method for the Spirit Controlling Talisman and the array diagram for the God Slaying Array. There’s not much left to gain from Shan Hao. Relentlessly pursuing him would only invite trouble!

Subsequently, Shen Mo unleashed waves of Sword Light, recalling the Red Flame Sect Members and Demon Soul Generals who formed the God Slaying Array, as well as Fairy Pei Yu and the other Class V Demon Soul Generals, back into the Green Cloud Cave.

CRACKLE!

Behind Shen Mo, his Cloud Thunder Wings crackled with wind and lightning. Then, his figure transformed into a fleeting shadow, streaking towards Hou Corpse Cave at the foot of the mountain.

Meanwhile, among the 500,000 elite demons, all those at Class IV and above who had died were swept into the Soul Refining Flag by the Blood River. Their souls, not yet dispersed, had to be quickly refined into Class IV Soul Generals. The remaining demon corpses became food for the Demon Soul Generals!

Shan Hao had incorporated most of the elite demons from Hou Corpse Cave, those at Class II and above, into the Creation Array to assault the Green Cloud Cave.

Of the several million demons still stationed in Hou Corpse Cave, over 95% were low-class demons. There were fewer than 200,000 Class II and Class III demons, and only a handful of Class IV demons remained. Naturally, they were powerless to resist the assault of Shen Mo and his Demon Soul Generals, scattering in flight after a single encounter.

Shen Mo then spent the better part of a day, relying on the Red Flame Sect Members and his Demon Soul Generals, to capture these several million demons and imprison them in the Cave Paradise Demon Zone!

At this point, the Hou Corpse Cave’s demonic forces were officially declared annihilated...

From its zenith to its demise, a mere twenty years had passed!

「...」

Having completely obliterated Hou Corpse Cave, Shen Mo didn’t dare to linger on Five Dragon Mountain.

Amidst a raging storm of fierce winds and thunderstorms, he transformed into a barely perceptible shadow, flying northwest along the path the Demon Slaying Sword had taken.

The True Immortal behind Hou Corpse Cave still hasn’t made a move. It seems I was worrying too much. Perhaps subduing the forces of Five Dragon Mountain is merely an insignificant detail in that entity’s grand design. But this concerns my very life and safety; it’s always better to be cautious! Once my situation is secure, I can recall the Demon Slaying Sword.

With these thoughts, Shen Mo flew further away from Five Dragon Mountain while simultaneously turning his attention to dealing with the millions of demons, large and small.

First were demons like Liu Sanmei, originally from the Chaotic Stone Stockade.

They had expressed their ”loyalty” to him even before he had demonstrated his superior strength, and their subsequent actions indeed proved this ”loyalty.”

Shen Mo wasn’t entirely sure what their motivation was for choosing to continue serving him and ”betraying” Hou Corpse Cave under the previous circumstances.

Perhaps they were won over by the charm of ’Demon Lord Pei Yu’ during the few years they spent together. This wasn’t merely a conceited guess on my part. My Basic Destiny, Appearance, had already been elevated to the Purple-tier ’Moon-like’ quality. Over the years, I’ve gradually discovered that the enhancement of this Destiny not only altered my appearance and temperament but also invisibly endowed me with immense charm! This charm isn’t limited by gender, or even by race or form of life. Even creatures beyond the Human Race, after spending some time with me, would instinctively develop a sense of closeness. Even for enemies, as long as their core interests weren’t threatened, their hostility towards me would be considerably lessened. Therefore, it wasn’t entirely preposterous that the ’King of Chaotic Stone Stockade’—who appeared as Fairy Pei Yu but was, in reality, me—could win the affinity of Liu Sanmei and the other demons!
