First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 208: Slaying Demons

Most of the disciples from other sects were also fighting and retreating!

Amidst the foul aura of demonic energy, specks of light continuously moved towards Tianshan City.

"Alright, I'll listen to Junior Brother Shen." Yao Ting glanced at the situation and immediately nodded in agreement.

The other disciples from the sect, all in the mid-stage of Qi Gathering Realm, saw that the core disciple Yao Ting and the newly-record-breaking genius were heading towards Tianshan City, so naturally, they had no objections.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

The Big Dipper Sword Formation shielded everyone, along with the attacks of others, resisting the onslaught of the demonic figures.

The small group of a dozen people continued to move away from the collapsing ground.

At the same time, Shen Mo's gaze fell on Zhao Lingyin's delicate face.

"There are demonic shadows entering Senior Sister Lingyin's brow. Could it be that there are demons trying to corrupt her?"

"If that's the case, Senior Sister Lingyin must have a precious treasure protecting her soul!"

"Otherwise, she would have already been corrupted by the demonic influence."

In the instant when countless demonic shadows surged out with the foul aura of demonic energy, Shen Mo not only saw one elite disciple of the sect being corrupted by the demons...

But rather, they had become similar to the mutated demonic souls!

"I can't afford to be cautious anymore."

"Soul-binding Spell!"

Shen Mo murmured.

His index and middle fingers formed a seal and pressed against Zhao Lingyin's brow.

In an instant, within her sea of consciousness, the scorching sun that hung high in the sky radiated brightly.

The invisible power of the soul, in an indescribably mysterious manner, created layers of strange ripples that surged towards Zhao Lingyin's brow.

What he wanted to bind was naturally not Zhao Lingyin's soul.

But rather, the soul of that demon!

Based on Shen Mo's understanding of the demonic souls within the Soul Refining Banner, the soul and body of a demon were one, existing between the tangible and intangible!

If they wanted to corrupt a living being, they would generally invade the soul of the living being and then, from the inside out, corrupt them into a mutated demon.

As the Soul-binding Spell was cast, Shen Mo quickly sensed something unusual!

Within Zhao Lingyin's body...

A soul with a fresh and ethereal aura was firmly protected by a cauldron.

Outside, there was a surging demonic flame, intending to break through the protection of the cauldron and devour and corrupt that fresh soul.

"Lingyin Senior Sister!"

The power of his soul rippled slightly, conveying Shen Mo's voice to Zhao Lingyin.

"Shen Mo... Why are you here? Be careful, don't let the demon drag you back into your sea of consciousness. Otherwise, it will be as troublesome as dealing with a heart demon."

"I have the Soul Guardian Cauldron protecting me. This demon won't be able to do anything to me for a while."

Zhao Lingyin extended a strand of her soul's power, instantly connecting with Shen Mo, and they communicated without touching.

In a trance...

Shen Mo seemed to catch a whiff of the fragrance of spiritual medicine, and he had a vague understanding in his heart.

No wonder so many disciples from various sects specifically targeted Zhao Lingyin!

In the eyes of these abnormal beings like demons, Zhao Lingyin was a fragrant and appetizing delicacy.

Although she had the protection of the cauldron, since he had come, how could he leave empty-handed?

Moreover, judging from her appearance, it seemed that she wasn't as optimistic as she claimed.

The power of his soul instantly surged towards the demonic flame.

"Buzz!"

Shen Mo felt his soul tremble, as if it had collided with a boulder, causing a dizzying sensation.

This was the characteristic of the Soul-binding Spell.

Essentially, it was a clash and collision between souls!

If it weren't for Zhao Lingyin almost being corrupted by this demon, Shen Mo wouldn't have easily cast the Soul-binding Spell.

But fortunately, this demon was only in the mid-stage of the Second Order, and its demonic body wasn't too strong.

Converted.

In terms of the strength of its soul, it is equivalent to a cultivator at the sixth level of the Qi Gathering Realm.

The demonic flames were instantly restored to the demonic form that was neither human nor non-human by Shen Mo's demonic spell, roaring... bit by bit, it was drawn out by the Soul Restraining spell.

Zhao Lingyin's sea of consciousness.

Shen Mo's gaze was deep as he stared directly at the space between her eyebrows.

In an instant, a weak demonic shadow was restrained by the Soul Restraining spell and flew out slowly from her forehead.

Shen Mo chanted an incantation and launched the Soul Annihilation spell!

"Pu!"

The demonic shadow dissipated.

Shen Mo's face turned slightly pale, he staggered a step, almost unable to maintain the Big Dipper Seven Star Sword Formation.

He quickly swallowed a Soul Nourishing Pill and activated the "Divine Soul Visualization Scripture"!

The intense sun soul illuminated his divine soul. After a while, he recovered and continued to maintain the sword formation to shield against the demonic tide.

If he had been able to completely restrain this demonic entity earlier, Shen Mo would not have needed to use the Soul Annihilation spell.

A sword qi would have been enough to annihilate it!

However, this demon was very cunning and refused to be tainted by the demonic Divine Ability. Part of Zhao Lingyin's sea of consciousness was also tainted by it, and their auras were somewhat connected.

If he were to kill it with brute force, he was afraid that he would also harm Zhao Lingyin's divine soul!

"It's strange... the demonic entity has been suppressed, why hasn't Senior Sister Lingyin awakened yet?"

Shen Mo saw Zhao Lingyin's eyelashes tremble in his arms, but she still hadn't opened her eyes, which made him somewhat anxious.

He placed his right hand on Zhao Lingyin's forehead again.

He wanted to use his divine sense to investigate.

"Junior Brother..."

At this moment, Zhao Lingyin finally opened her eyes, her voice as soft as a mosquito's hum.

A blush quickly spread across her face, reddening her ears and neck, making her look very beautiful.

"Senior Sister Lingyin, it's great that you're okay! Thanks to Senior Sister Yaoting protecting you just now, otherwise..." Shen Mo said happily, but soon noticed that something was amiss.

He still tightly held Zhao Lingyin in his left hand, which was why she looked a bit strange.

Just as he was about to let go and let Zhao Lingyin fly away on her own sword, the Big Dipper Seven Star Sword Formation suddenly shook violently and then collapsed, turning into seven small swords that flew back into Shen Mo's sleeve.

Shen Mo followed the momentum and looked over.

He saw a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, surrounded by endless demonic aura, looking at him with a deep gaze.

"It's Senior Brother Wanwu! His body has been taken over by the demonic entity..." a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect exclaimed in grief and anger.

Soon, Shen Mo learned from the disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect that Wanwu's cultivation level was at the ninth level of the Qi Gathering Realm!

To be tainted by such a powerful entity...

It must be one of the few peak second-order demonic entities among the tens of thousands of demonic entities.

It was unclear when Wanwu had been tainted by the demonic entity, but at this moment, he had set his sights on Shen Mo and the others.

Shen Mo's fingertips scattered a piece of debris and stone dust.

Destiny... sees through all living beings!

[Demonic Entity: Variant Demonic Entity Wanwu]

[Realm: Peak Second Order]

[Brief Description: This demon was originally a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect's Luofu Sword Master. He was tainted by a peak second-order demonic entity.

Transformed into a variant demonic entity, retaining the memories, cultivation, immortal techniques, and swordsmanship of the Heavenly Sword Sect disciple Wanwu.

Also proficient in several complete immortal techniques... Can improve cultivation realm through cultivation, and can devour other living beings to strengthen its power.

This demonic form is fixed and has lost the innate characteristics of the Integrated Union of demonic entities, unable to continue tainting other living beings.]

[Weakness: When he was a human cultivator, he had not yet mastered the Sword Intent and had a gap in his Dao Heart. Now that he has been devoured by a powerful demonic entity, this gap has been filled.]

Looking at the information that appeared on the [Record of Sight and Knowledge], Shen Mo felt a tremendous headache.

This Wanwu demonic entity was probably the most difficult and formidable second-order entity he had encountered among the second-order entities he had encountered.

He was already an elite disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, just one step away from entering the Spirit Sea Realm.

He also mastered many immortal techniques and techniques of the Heavenly Sword Sect!

With the weakness of being tainted and having a gap in his Dao Heart, it was also filled.

In a battle, I'm afraid... he is no match for this demon.
