Immortality Through Array Formations

The two exchanged a glance and cursed each other:

“Bitch, you deceived me!”

“Old ghost, you tricked me!”

Both wanted to trick the other into using the power of Feather Transformation to break the Formation, endure the heavenly lightning, and then flee.

Madam Miao wanted to curse some more, but unexpectedly, Poison Venerable made the first move, striking her with a fierce palm.

This palm, though not as powerful as Feather Transformation, was still the force of a Golden Core at its peak.

Madam Miao, caught off guard, hastily took the blow, but in her carelessness did not contain her cultivation. A pink aura enveloped her, showing the signs of Feather Transformation.

Madam Miao, in shock and dismay, turned around, intending to drag Poison Venerable to death with her.

But before she could act, storm clouds gathered, and heavenly punishment descended. A crimson lightning bolt flashed, and Madam Miao’s life dissipated.

With the death of Madam Miao, Poison Venerable looked up, overjoyed.

“Just as I expected! The arrival of heavenly punishment breaks open Gui Tao’s Heaven Sealing Formation Pattern, revealing a gap in the Formation, which is my chance to escape!”

Poison Venerable leaped towards the gap, attempting to escape both the Demon Palace and the enclosure of Gui Tao’s Heaven Sealing Formation.

But suddenly a hand reached out, grabbing him.

Poison Venerable’s movement halted as he fought to break free, but the person holding him was highly cultivated. He struggled several times before breaking free and continued to escape.

However, during this delay, Gui Tao’s Heaven Sealing Formation regenerated and closed completely on its own.

Poison Venerable, enraged, turned back and shouted:

“Xuan Sanren, what do you mean by this?”

The person who suddenly grabbed him was indeed Xuan Sanren.

Xuan Sanren remained silent.

Poison Venerable looked closely and was horrified.

Xuan Sanren’s eyes had turned black!

“You…” Poison Venerable exclaimed in shock, “Impossible!”

Xuan Sanren smiled slightly, his pupils pitch black, his face showing a vivid and eerie smile.

“Planting Devil in Taoist Heart…”

Poison Venerable looked incredulous:

“No… impossible, you are in the Feather Transformation Realm. How could Planting Devil in Taoist Heart affect you? Separated by a whole realm, he, being a Golden Core Demon Seed, could not possibly erode your Taoist Heart…”

“Unless…”

Poison Venerable remembered something, suddenly widened his eyes, “Mystery Demon Foetus?!”

At that, Xuan Sanren had already donned a Taoist Robe.

This Taoist Robe, as if peeled off a dead person, was stained with mud and dirt – exactly what Gui Tao’s people wore.

Poison Venerable was both shocked and enraged. He couldn’t help but curse furiously:

“Xuan Sanren, you cowardly beast, how dare you use a Mystery Demon Foetus to take your place?!”

The transformation of the Mystery Demon Foetus is a supreme Demon Skill.

One body, two foetuses, real and fake indistinguishable.

Poison Venerable never imagined that for such a significant event as sealing Mr. Zhuang and seizing the secrets of the Back Ruins Heaven Burial, Xuan Sanren, fearful of death and greedy for life, would let his real self come in the guise of a Mystery Demon Foetus, indecipherable in truth and falsehood!

If it hadn’t been for this, he could have already escaped to the heavens by now!

The Mystery Demon Foetus might have two lives in one body, but its own Taoist Heart is divided.

It has the cultivation of Feather Transformation Realm, but not a complete Taoist Heart of that realm.

This gap was exactly what Gui Tao’s people took advantage of!

Thus, the Devil in the Taoist Heart was planted, and they completely stole the demon foetus of a Venerable in Feather Transformation Realm!

Now, Gui Tao’s person was in the Feather Transformation Realm!

A thread of terror spread through Poison Venerable’s heart.

This Gui Tao’s person… could it be that he long noticed that Xuan Sanren’s real body was merely a Mystery Demon Foetus?

So, this too was in his calculations?

Donning the “Taoist Robe,” Xuan Sanren had turned into “Gui Tao’s person.”

With childlike features and white hair, handsome in appearance, his dark and profound gaze was now lively and no longer as stiff as before, perhaps because of the Feather Transformation Realm body.

Poison Venerable’s expression was grave, “What exactly do you want to do?”

“Gui Tao’s person” smiled indifferently, “When the Demon Path acts, naturally there’s only one word – ‘kill’.”

Poison Venerable coldly said, “You want to kill me?”

Gui Tao’s person remained noncommittal.

Poison Venerable sneered, “Fine! I would like to see how you plan to kill me today. After the fierce battle just now, hundreds of Golden Core Demon Seeds have been reduced by eighty percent, with only the remnants remaining.”

“Or do you plan to take action yourself?”

“We are now both in Feather Transformation.”

“Do you really wish to use this Feather Transformation Demon Seed to perish together with me?”

Gui Tao’s person struck with a palm, and Poison Venerable, startled, snorted coldly, striking with his own palm to neutralize Gui Tao’s person’s palm force, even forcing Gui Tao’s person back several steps.

Gui Tao’s person coughed up a mouthful of black blood.

“Is that all?”

Poison Venerable showed a trace of disdain.

Gui Tao’s person wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, but the way he looked at Poison Venerable was like looking at a dead man.

Poison Venerable suddenly realized something was amiss.

He felt an extremely terrifying presence gathering above his head.

“Heavenly punishment?”

Poison Venerable’s voice trembled.

“No, it can’t be!” Poison Venerable cried out in horror, “I clearly did not use the power of Feather Transformation!”

The corners of Gui Tao’s person’s mouth revealed a mocking smile, “In front of me, what makes you think, what you think is real?”

Poison Venerable turned deathly pale.

“I… have also been planted with Devil in Taoist Heart?!”

He scrutinized himself and discovered a speck of darkness in his Taoist Heart.

It was only a small planting…

But this tiny bit of Demon Thought threatened to defy the taboos of the Great Dao!

He would be eradicated by the Heavenly Dao!

“No, I don’t want to die yet, I should not die, I still have great plans for the Demon Gate, thousands of disciples, I…”

Poison Venerable’s expression twisted fiercely.

But before he could finish, the scarlet heavenly punishment descended.

The horrific heavenly punishment, imbued with the ruthlessness of the Great Dao, obliterated Poison Venerable completely!

With the dispersal of the lightning punishment, dust settled on everything.

Gui Tao’s Heaven Sealing, no escape to be found, dead silence within the Ten Thousand Demons Hall.

The Golden Core Demon Cultivators died, leaving no intact corpses.

The Feather Transformation Demon Ancestor, annihilated in body and spirit!

Gui Tao’s person stood atop the Corpse Mountain and the sea of blood, clad in black, with white hair draped over his shoulders, his pupils dark and profound, his voice lofty and icy cold:

“What kind of trash are you, to covet… my junior brother?!”
