Entry: I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World

174: Chapter 174 Feng Jiuge Awakens the Power of the Star God!As for the matters of the Spirit Realm, let them be for now.

Next, it is time to look at the Demon Realm.

With a thought from Gu Yan, the image in the haotian mirror changed; the scenery of the Spirit Realm dissipated, replaced by a world of dark red.

The Demon Realm.

This was a world completely different from the Spirit Realm.

The sky was dark red, the ground was black, and the air was filled with dense Devilish Qi.

The mountains, rivers, plants, and living beings all carried a sense of chilling slaughter.

Gu Yan’s gaze pierced through layers of space, landing within a gloomy valley.

There, a man in black robes was half-kneeling on the ground, with crimson lightning flickering intermittently around him, dimming and brightening like a candle in the wind.

It was none other than Feng Jiuge.

Beside him lay another person whose aura at the Tribulation Crossing Peak was already in disarray; it was the great human expert of the Demon Realm, Chu Xiu.

Both of them looked quite wretched.

Although Feng Jiuge possessed the Low Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, the Star-Shattering Sword, given by Gu Yan.

And he wore that Divine Robe capable of resisting any attack below the Human Immortal Realm, he could not withstand an opponent that should not exist in this world.

That Ancestor Xuetu was originally a Clone cast into the Demon Realm by a Golden Immortal Devil Head from the Immortal Realm, and she also held a Low Grade Innate Spirit Treasure in her hand.

That wasn’t all; that old Devil Head could occasionally use offensive Divine Abilities that surpassed the Tribulation Crossing Peak, even reaching the Human Immortal or True Immortal Realms.

Under such a dimensional strike, the Divine Robe naturally gradually became unable to hold out.

Of course, such actions by Ancestor Xuetu were not without a price.

Every time she used power exceeding the Tribulation Crossing Peak, the Heavenly Dao would inevitably send down a Lightning Tribulation.

But who was Ancestor Xuetu?

She was of the Demon Race, a Demon Ancestor, with countless secret methods at her disposal and plenty of ways to offset it.

One of those methods was to consume her own descendants’ Bloodline.

One must know that many members of the Demon Race in the Southern Region of the Demon Realm shared a Bloodline relationship with Ancestor Xuetu.

Even though Feng Jiuge had killed countless numbers of them over the years, how vast was the Demon Realm?

The small amount Feng Jiuge had killed was not even a drop in the bucket.

So every time she used a great Divine Ability, it was merely the death of a million members of the Demon Race.

Demons have no compassion, let alone a Demon Ancestor.

They were just some lowly Bloodlines; as long as she wanted to reproduce later, she could continuously breed more.

And the fact that Ancestor Xuetu had cast a Clone from the Immortal Realm to cause trouble in the Demon Realm was naturally discovered by other old demons in the Immortal Realm.

These old demons were also in the Golden Immortal Realm, but like Ancestor Xuetu, they belonged to the subordinates of that Grand Demon Venerable of Primordial Beginning, Limitless, World-Ending, Heavenly Punishment.

Therefore, it was difficult for them to say anything.

After all, the Great Demon Venerable was an Immortal King, the only one currently at the Peak of the Immortal King Realm in their Demon Race.

They only often lamented why they weren’t the ones assigned the task; otherwise, returning to the Demon Realm to lord over everyone would be too satisfying.

Golden Immortals are very strong and can find ways to cast their Clones back to the Demon Realm, but the Great Demon Venerable had instructed that no one was allowed to return to the Demon Realm without his permission.

The various Golden Immortal experts of the Demon Race did not know the reason, nor did they dare to ask, let alone disobey.

Back to the main point.

At this moment, in this valley in the Southern Region of the Demon Realm.

Ancestor Xuetu was currently in the form of a white-haired woman of the Demon Race, looking down at Feng Jiuge and Chu Xiu.

She spoke, her voice carrying a bit of playfulness: ”Feng Jiuge, I will give you a way to live.”

She extended a finger, pointing at Chu Xiu who was collapsed to the side: ”Kill him. I will let bygones be bygones and take you as my Personal Disciple.”

”In the future, when you achieve Ascension to the Immortal Realm, you can also seek a future under my command.”

Chu Xiu was startled upon hearing this, but ultimately, there was not much panic in his heart.

He knew Feng Jiuge’ character.

Sure enough, in the next moment, Feng Jiuge burst into loud laughter.

The laughter echoed in the valley, carrying undisguised mockery.

”You, a Devil Head, are also worthy of taking me as a Disciple?”

Feng Jiuge struggled to stand up, leaning on the Star-Shattering Sword to support his body as he continued:

”You are nothing but a beast in human skin. No, saying you are a beast is a compliment.”

”Even beasts know to protect their young, but you? To block a Lightning Tribulation, you sacrifice a million descendants without even blinking.”

”Such despicable, shameless, cold-blooded, and cruel behavior is something even the lowest worms of the Demon Realm wouldn’t do.”

”In the years I’ve been in the Demon Realm, I have indeed killed many of the Demon Race.”

”But compared to you, what does my killing karma amount to? You kill a million with one move; the total I’ve killed until now isn’t even a fraction of your single instance.”

”With your kind of virtue, you are worthy of taking a Disciple? Worthy of talking about letting bygones be bygones?”

”No matter how poorly I, Feng Jiuge, end up, I will never acknowledge a Devil Head who treats his own descendants as consumables as my Master.”

”If word got out, I’m afraid I would lose all face for eighteen generations of my ancestors.”

Ancestor Xuetu’s face gradually turned somber, her white hair moving without wind, and blood-colored patterns emanated around her body, with demon runes crawling all over her face and neck.

Clearly, she was about to perform a great Divine Ability that surpassed the Peak of the Tribulation Crossing Realm to kill Feng Jiuge in one fell swoop.

Feng Jiuge, however, showed no fear.

From being an orphan named Zhou Aniu in the Spirit Realm’s Zhou Family Village to joining the Azure Wave Sect and being given the name Feng Jiuge by his Master, Youhun, he had stepped onto the path of immortality.

Along this journey, he had no regrets in his heart.

Kill those who should be killed, walk the path that should be walked.

Since the Demon Race ravaged the Human Race, he would kill the Demon Race.

Even if he died today, it would just be the end of this path.

He remembered the way his Revered Master, Youhun, taught him Mystical Arts, and the sensation of his blade entering flesh when he slew the Demon Race over the years.

It’s enough.

He felt it had already been wonderful enough.

From an orphan who couldn’t even get enough to eat to reaching this step today, it was worth it.

Feng Jiuge closed his eyes, and the Star-Shattering Sword in his hand hummed slightly, as if bidding him a final farewell.

Inside the Hall of Longevity within the Supreme Creation Small Luo Grotto-Heaven.

Gu Yan’s brow furrowed slightly, and the magical power in his hand was already poised to strike.

However, before he could act, he sensed an aura quietly Awakening within Feng Jiuge’ body.

That aura...

Gu Yan paused slightly and withdrew his magical power.

In the valley of the Demon Realm.

Ancestor Xuetu raised her hand, and a pillar of blood-colored light erupted from her palm, carrying a world-destroying might as it crushed toward Feng Jiuge and Chu Xiu.

That power had already far exceeded the scope of the Tribulation Crossing Peak; even if a Human Immortal were here, they would be annihilated in a single strike.

Chu Xiu closed his eyes.

Waiting for death.

Feng Jiuge did the same.

But at this very moment, he fell into a peculiar state.

The flow of time for all things in the world suddenly slowed down.

The ferocious expression on Ancestor Xuetu’s face froze in mid-air, and the advancement of that blood-colored light pillar became as sluggish as a snail’s crawl.

At this moment, the colors of all things in the Demon Realm turned to gray.

Between heaven and earth, only a heavy silence remained.

Feng Jiuge felt a strange power Awakening within his body.

That power did not come from the Cultivation Technique he practiced.

Nor did it come from the Star-Shattering Sword; it came from deeper within, from the very bottom of his Soul.

It was as if something had already been branded into his Soul before his Reincarnation.

Now, that thing was awake.

There are thousands of stars above the heavens; whether it be the Mortal Realm of the Minor Thousand Worlds, or the Spirit Realm and Demon Realm of the Middle Thousand Worlds, the stars seen are merely projections of the stars in the Immortal Realm, not real existences.

And every star in the Immortal Realm will autonomously nurture a Star God.

A Star God is the Incarnation of a star’s will, naturally wielding the power of a star, and is one of the top existences in the Immortal Realm.

In his previous life, Feng Jiuge was the Star God of the Yinghuo Star.

A great expert of the Immortal King Realm.

He was merely banished to the mortal world by the Azure Emperor, undergoing Reincarnation, with everything from his past life sealed deep within his Soul.

Now, facing a life-and-death crisis, coupled with the years of slaughter and tempering in the Demon Realm, through various coincidences of Destiny, he finally awakened a trace of Star God Power.

Although it was still very weak, not even one ten-thousandth of his previous life, it was enough for him to withstand the Ancestor Xuetu before him.

With Feng Jiuge as the center, the heaven and earth within a hundred-mile radius suddenly changed color.

All colors were stripped away, leaving only the two colors of gray and white.

Ancestor Xuetu’s blood-colored light pillar charged into this gray Domain, its speed dropping sharply, and its might also diminishing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Feng Jiuge opened his eyes.

Within his pupils, a crimson star was reflected.

The light of that star pierced through the dark red sky of the Demon Realm, echoing with the actual body of the Yinghuo Star in the unseen depths.

He raised the Star-Shattering Sword, its blade wrapped in a layer of gray-white halo.

With just a gentle swing, that blood-colored light pillar split from the middle into two streams, whistling past his sides and blasting two bottomless giant holes into the mountain wall behind him.

Ancestor Xuetu was stunned.

Chu Xiu was also stunned; he opened his eyes, looking at this scene in disbelief.

Feng Jiuge did not linger for the fight.

He grabbed Chu Xiu from the ground, and the Star-Shattering Sword slashed a rift in the Void Realm; the two figures instantly entered it and vanished.

In the valley, only Ancestor Xuetu remained, standing there in a daze, looking at the gray Domain that had not yet dissipated.

She did not pursue.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to, but that she didn’t dare.

That kind of Divine Ability that made heaven and earth lose their color was called the Colorless Realm Divine Power.

In the Immortal Realm, only great experts of the Immortal King Realm could perform it.

How could that kid...

Countless thoughts flashed through Ancestor Xuetu’s mind, finally settling on a possibility that made her spine go cold.

Could it be that the kid is a pawn cast into the Demon Realm by an Immortal King Realm expert of the Immortal Realm?

If that were truly the case, then wouldn’t her actions today be slapping that Immortal King’s face?

Ancestor Xuetu took a deep breath and decided not to target Feng Jiuge anymore.

Anyway, what the Great Demon Venerable wanted her to do had nothing to do with Feng Jiuge.

As long as the other party didn’t take the initiative to ruin her affairs in the future, she would treat this person as if he didn’t exist.

Better to have one less thing to worry about.

She didn’t want to offend a real Immortal King just because of a pawn.
