131: cunning demons

As soon as Su Yu shouted those three words, a cold, sinister sneer appeared on Old Monster Yang Lu's face, and he no longer looked like he was begging for mercy.

Old Monster Yang Lu's body began to writhe as a mass of black flesh burst through his skin.

Immediately after, a Tall and Thin Demon Race Member appeared before Su Yu's eyes.

His entire body was black, with a vertical eye at the center of his brow. He wore battle armor and had a rather handsome appearance.

It was clear that he was no ordinary member of the Demon Race.

"Human Race Cultivator, I originally intended to let you go. Why do you humans always love seeking death?"

The Tall and Thin Demon Race Member sighed.

His eyes flashed with red light as he grinned, a malevolent aura washing over the area.

"I didn't expect to actually trick you out."

Seeing this, a cold glint flashed in Su Yu's eyes.

Since this demon was here, Old Monster Yang Lu was clearly dead.

Perhaps when mars descended and Old Monster Yang Lu went to deal with it, his escape while heavily wounded was nothing more than an illusion.

Old Monster Yang Lu must have been killed back then and then hidden away after being possessed by this demon.

It wasn't until now, after Su Yu felt he was being targeted by an inexplicably terrifying existence and intentionally tested him, that he managed to trick this Demon Race Soul Transformation Cultivator out.

"Enough nonsense. Although I don't know what your ultimate goal is, your invitation to explore the ruins of the Huangyun Sect clearly involved some scheme!"

"And I, for one, hate being plotted against the most. I am utterly sick of playing mind games with people like you. So, Fellow Daoist, please just die!"

Su Yu immediately controlled his six Spirit Treasures, using their full power to suppress the Tall and Thin Demon Race Member before him.

The six Spirit Treasures had already been ready to strike. The shockwaves they unleashed at this moment felt as if they were tearing the sky open.

In particular, the Colorful Phoenix transformed from the seven flame heavenly fire fan scorched the Void Realm until it warped.

A massive heatwave caused the surroundings to dry up, and the ground began to crack as if it had endured a ten-thousand-year drought.

"Heh, I truly wouldn't have been your match before!"

"But now, I possess three imitations of the Cloud Heaven Bottle!"

"With the power of such treasures, unless you step into the Void Refining Realm, your only path is death!"

A cruel look appeared at the corners of the Tall and Thin Demon Race Member's mouth.

These imitations of the Cloud Heaven Bottle had caused them a great deal of suffering during the ancient era.

Just four imitations were enough to make the Demon Race suffer a crushing defeat.

In the area of Demon Slaying Valley, they had even wiped out a million of our Demon Race Cultivators!

If a certain Sacred Ancestor hadn't sent down a wisp of Divine Thought from across the void to possess a direct descendant and destroy all the Cloud Heaven Bottle imitations, even more of the Demon Race would have perished.

Back then, not all of these treasures were taken to the front lines against the Demon Race by the Spirit Transformation Cultivators of the Huangyun Sect.

Instead, three imitations were left behind as a precaution, so they could be used for support if the situation changed.

Unfortunately, the Demon Race had anticipated this very move.

At that time, another Spirit Transformation Cultivator guarding the Huangyun Sect took this bottle to the front lines.

They ended up missing the several Demon Race Soul Transformation Cultivators who had bypassed the front lines to launch a sneak attack on the Huangyun Sect.

This forced the guarding Huangyun Sect Spirit Transformation Cultivator to use a Formation to perish together with the Demon Race.

The ruins of the Huangyun Sect then fell into a spatial rift.

The reason he knew the Huangyun Sect still had two imitations...

...was because the person he possessed was a descendant of a certain Spirit Transformation Cultivator from the Huangyun Sect. Although many generations had passed, there were still some Legacy records.

Furthermore, his Revered Master was also the grand-disciple of a certain Nascent Soul Cultivator and had inherited the green cloud bottle.

This was why the Revered Master and disciple had been preparing to find the Huangyun Sect since they first stepped into the Nascent Soul stage.

It wasn't until several hundred years after Old Monster Yang Lu reached the Soul Transformation stage that they finally found the Huangyun Sect ruins.

Then the Sacred Star descended, and this old monster went to suppress it. Unfortunately, his strength was too weak.

Even though he hadn't fully recovered yet, he easily defeated him.

He then successfully possessed him, and after devouring his Divine Soul, he obtained all of his memories.

Originally, he might not have been able to enter the Huangyun Sect alone. After all, once he left the hundred-mile radius of the Sacred Star, his strength was only at the Early Stage Soul Transformation.

That was why he followed Old Monster Yang Lu's original plan to invite Spirit Transformation Cultivators to explore it together.

Old Monster Tian Lin was very strong and not suitable to invite. Plus, he had lost contact years ago, saving him the trouble of an invitation.

He wasn't familiar with the other Great Jin Spirit Transformation Cultivators either, and their strength wasn't great. He feared they would struggle even to get past the Restrictions outside the Huangyun Sect, let alone break them.

Naturally, he didn't invite them.

But just then, he suddenly heard a report from a disciple of the person he possessed, saying that a newly ascended Soul Transformation Cultivator had appeared.

Moreover, this person had fought with a Great Jin Demonic Path Soul Transformation Cultivator, successfully wounding Yin Wujiu and returning in victory.

So, the idea of inviting him to explore the ruins was born.

The more he learned later on, the more he realized this person was not simple.

He was definitely not a newly ascended Soul Transformation Cultivator.

He might even be a Soul Transformation Cultivator from the same era as Old Monster Tian Lin.

But at that point, he had no other choice.

The big shots of the Sacred Realm were pressing too hard. If he didn't take action, then even if the Sacred Realm conquered this Human Realm...

...when it came time to reward merit, the quota for advancing to the Void Refining stage would not fall to him.

After he successfully entered the Huangyun Sect ruins and reached Purple Cloud Peak, he hadn't expected a fellow Demon Race Soul Transformation Cultivator from over ten thousand years ago to still be alive.

Even though it was a pleasant surprise for him, he didn't dare to show it.

Otherwise, before obtaining the other two Cloud Heaven Bottle imitations, the two of them would definitely not be Su Yu's match.

So he could only watch helplessly as Su Yu killed him.

However, what he didn't expect was that this fellow Demon Race Soul Transformation Cultivator also had a backup plan.

After they entered Purple Cloud Peak, this fellow demon's Natal Demon Pupil followed the traces of the two entering the void and directly left this ancient ruin, likely returning to the Human Realm.

Now that his true identity had been tricked out by Su Yu, he had no choice but to fight him.

Looking at the six mid-grade spirit treasures pressing down like a dark cloud, the Tall and Thin Demon Race Member threw out three small bottles.

Then, he began to activate them.

A white light flashed on the three small bottles, and lines of silk connected them together.

As the white light intensified, the three small bottles fused directly, transforming into a single ancient-looking small bottle.

This was precisely the Fusion method for the Cloud Heaven Bottle imitations.

Fusing three small bottles could unleash one-tenth of the Cloud Heaven Bottle's power; if seven were fused, it could unleash a terrifying one-third of its power!

At this moment, the Ancient Small Bottle erupted with a burst of golden light.

The golden light swept out, and massive ribbons of light flew forth, colliding with Su Yu's six Spirit Treasures.

The golden ribbons were incredibly tough, actually knocking the six Spirit Treasures backward.

For a moment, the spirituality of several Spirit Treasures trembled as if they were wailing.

"Hmph, the Cloud Heaven Bottle is a mid-grade heaven-piercing spirit treasure in the Spirit Realm. Even one-tenth of its power is not something a mere Spirit Transformation Cultivator can withstand."

"Fellow Daoist, stop struggling and just hand over your life!"

The Tall and Thin Demon Race Member formed hand seals, and the small bottle buzzed. In the next moment, a tri-colored light flew out from the mouth of the bottle.

The light shook in the air and transformed into a Tri-colored Peacock.

As soon as the peacock appeared, it let out a cry, then spread its tail and brushed out a beam of Tri-colored Divine Light.
