Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

"..."

A moment later, Shen Yi's eyebrows slowly knit together.

He seemed to understand why this situation had arisen.

For beings formed from the essence of heaven and earth, becoming sentient is an exceedingly slow process... But he had spent too much time, to the point that consciousness had already emerged while it was still in the seedling phase.

Wiping out the consciousness of creatures, he had actually done it many times through the panel before.

But previously, he relied on the death intent acquired from practicing the Life-Death Chan Body, and the consciousness he erased had always belonged to demons.

Now, the situation had changed.

Because the seedling was inside his own inner core, he couldn't possibly use the death intent to destroy his inner core first.

"Fortunately, there is the Sun Melting Furnace."

Shen Yi's eyes narrowed slightly as he mobilized the suppressive power to tightly envelop it.

As long as he could control it, things would be fine, since it couldn't resist anyway. With time, he could grind it down to death.

Reflecting on the thousands of years spent deducing the Wind-Thunder Sun-Melting Manual, it was, without a doubt, worth the price.

Of course, he could only help this much; the rest was up to the panel.

With this thought, Shen Yi stood up again and said inwardly, "Don't worry, I'll earn enough demon lifespan for you."

He looked up ahead.

Two breaths twisted out from the Golden Bell, becoming increasingly intense.

The next moment, his black robe fluttered, and the young man transformed into a breeze sweeping across the sky once more.

...

Fuyao Mountain, Bishui Gully.

The stream was very shallow, revealing smooth pebbles, and a majestic Azure-faced Lion lay in the water. Astride its back was a towering figure clad in gleaming scale armor, human in shape but also sporting a lion's head.

"Big brother, can you stop riding on me?" The Giant Lion seemed a bit irritable and flicked its tail vigorously.

"I'd prefer to ride on White Jade, but she hasn't returned for several days now." The human-shaped Lion Demon said with amusement, causing muted laughter to emanate from beneath him as well.

The two brothers cast a somewhat nostalgic glance towards Qingzhou.

"I don't understand why the Demon King wants us to provoke You Longtao. He's based in Tingyang County, wields the Sky Dome Sunset Bow, and is a cultivator who has condensed a Yin God. He appears conservative but is far from a fool."

The Giant Lion got up, expressing some dissatisfaction, "Just with a Golden Bell, thinking to lure him out, isn't that a bit naive?"

"Better if he doesn't come out. If he doesn't, we can continue riding on White Jade."

The human-shaped Lion Demon burst into loud laughter, licking his lips, "She wants to do something to attract the Demon King's attention again, but what's that got to do with us?"

"I heard White Deer is dead." The Giant Lion walked towards the shore.

"Always thought himself smarter than us and wouldn't submit. He secretly colluded with the minor Demon King. Serves him right for dying." The Lion Demon didn't seem to care much about this incident.

Although both serving under the Howling Moon Demon King, their relationship could hardly be considered good—in fact, if not for the Demon King's sake, the Lion Demon would have wanted to slaughter him at a feast hundreds of years ago.

"That's not what I meant."

The Giant Lion shook its head, "If there's someone in Qingzhou who could kill White Deer, then it means he could kill many more demon lords. We brothers don't need to worry, but if the losses are too great, it might free up the hands of the Demon-suppression Bureau. Being watched by them every day disagrees with me."

"You worry too much." The Lion Demon scoffed, "How could the Demon King watch that stupid deer die for nothing? Qingzhou still owes a life in return. As far as I know, the Old Jiaolong in Yangchun River is about to make a breakthrough. The Demon King has already sent people to deliver Precious Medicines, to help it with the final push."

A thousand years of accumulation, a momentous rise to power.

Qingzhou was inevitably going to smell blood.

"Doesn't that mean we'll be pushed further down the ranks?" The Giant Lion was annoyed. Among the Demon King's seventeen Embrace Pill Realm demon lords, together they clearly ranked in the top five, but the rest of those beasts insisted on counting them separately, truly acting shamelessly!

"I'm not a White Deer, worrying about these things; I just want to know when Her Majesty will return."

The Lion Demon jumped down from its brother's back, feeling rather annoyed.

Just then, a graceful figure with disheveled clothing walked along the stream. She was clearly severely injured, her exquisite gown having tears all over, revealing glimpses of her snow-white skin. Her lovely face bore an expression of grievance as she gently bit her plump lips.

The Lion Demon's eyes widened, "What happened to Her Majesty! Come here and let me take good care of you!"

It strode forward swiftly, scooping the beauty into its arms as its large beastly paw roamed inappropriately over her.

"..."

The Giant Lion watched in confusion, feeling unexpectedly perplexed.

It wasn't because of its brother's lustful behavior, but rather because, this time, the other had not called for it.

Could it be that he's been holding it in for too many days?

At times like this, it was always supposed to serve as the fur couch; otherwise, the two of them would have to sleep on the ground.

Moreover, with White Jade Her Majesty in such an injured state, why was his brother not even the least bit cautious? He should have at least asked what happened first.

It looked around and suddenly noticed a faint mist.

In this gully, it seemed quite natural and harmonious.

But the Giant Lion felt a sudden dread in its heart, and roared, "Brother, be careful! The White Deer isn't dead! It must have betrayed us to the Little Demon King and has come to harm us, brothers!"

The moment its words came out.

The thunderous roar of dragons and tigers exploded by its ears. The Giant Lion turned around in horror, only to see a massive sword shadow suddenly appear before its eyes, carrying two fierce beasts as it hurtled towards it!

Under the ferocious power of the true intent.

Its enormous body was instantaneously torn open with a terrifying gash, and then it was sent flying by the phantom images of the dragon and tiger!

At the same time, Shen Yi, hovering in the air with the Sky Dome Sunslayer Bow in hand, drew the bow as if it were a full moon, his eyes glittering with sharpness, like a celestial general on patrol!

With the boost of the sixth transformation of the Immortal Demon, streaks of intense white light continuously pierced through the sky.

Boom! Boom!

The vast expanse of white light enveloped the Giant Lion, its sturdy demonic body instantly torn and lacerated!

More than ten arrows were released in quick succession, not a single shot missed; yet the lion was only stripped of flesh, revealing its grisly white bones, still clearly showing signs of life.

Shen Yi frowned slightly, not satisfied with the outcome.

But since breaking through to the Embrace Pill Realm, the former breath-hiding technique could no longer completely conceal his presence, and getting any closer would risk being detected.

He could only opt to use the Dual Polarity Dragon Tiger True Intent and the Sky Dome Sunslayer Bow.

Meanwhile.

The human-shaped Lion Demon held White Jade Her Majesty in his arms, struggling in his eyes to break free from the illusion.

In an instant, it fiercely bared its fangs and let out a roar that shook the mountains and rivers, its alarming eyes gaining a bit more clarity.

"..."

Shen Yi paid no attention to it and suddenly vanished from the spot.

According to what General You had said, these two demons together were even a match for him.

Most likely, they had some sort of coordinated tactics.

If he couldn't eliminate one of them in advance, the difficulty of slaying them later might increase exponentially.
