Chapter 895: Chapter 895
Princess Tuluo's lament was nothing unusual; after all, she was a princess in a great demon country of the Heavenly Demon Realm, and her experience was naturally extraordinary.
At present, the hundreds of thousands of demons were not ones to be trifled with.
Just like those White Bone Demons, crafting such demons was extremely difficult, requiring cultivators with special life charts to be found first, tortured to death one by one, with even a slight lack of resentment and hatred being unacceptable, then refining their corpses into demons.
Thus, only the beginning had occurred.
Cultivators of this method, after gathering White Bone Demonic Materials, imprison themselves with them in a forge, summon the Great All Heavens Invisible Demon Flame, and endure burning for nine hundred and ninety-nine days, consuming all the flesh of the demonic materials piece by piece, until only a white bone body remains, so that three thousand White Bone Demons can be refined and controlled.
The most cruel and painful part of this refining method is the "devouring flesh" stage, where the torment and pain suffered by the demons before and after death are all fused into the rotting flesh.
When the refiner eats it, they also feel it all.
This is the price, exempted not. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥
Thus refined "White Bone Demons" not only possess infinite strength but can also spray demon flames, gather and disperse invisibly, nearly immortal.
Possessing one can sweep through a city.
Three thousand, enough to massacre a nation.
Furthermore, speaking of those Rashamon Demonesses, each one is different, resembling Yaksha's "Lan Po," resembling dragon king's "Vilambha," resembling heavenly immortal's "Qu Chi," resembling nun's "Flower Teeth"... each with their own names and divine skills, surrounding to kill together, who can withstand?
Princess Tuluo lamented while thinking of saving herself.
But what she instantly thought of, like taking out her treasures, the Blood Demon Slaying Dagger, and Taiyin Treasure Fan, could block some demons, but not most, ultimately leading to death.
"That traitor tricked me!"
"Only hope husband has arrived to rescue me quickly."
As the demoness cried out, Tao Qian also instantly thought through his own means, whether it was the All Heavens Demon Net or other treasures given by several elders, seemed difficult to instantly repel these hundreds of thousands of rare and fierce demons.
If his true body were here, there would be no problem.
After all, as a Great Master cultivating the Three Teachings, as long as Daoist, Buddhist, and Demon methods are performed together, not only can the predicament be resolved, but counter-attacking the demons would also not be difficult.
However, Tao Buddha's son self-assessed as not easily provoked, knowing that magical treasures would not succeed, he thought of something else.
"Master Yuan once said!"
"All the demons fear the Demon Cleansing Technique most, although it cannot kill, it can shatter their courage."
"But if I drain my mana to perform it, I'm afraid I'll be powerless against the multitude of demon children behind these demons, so..."
Upon this thought, Tao Qian's gaze immediately fell upon the strong and plump cow-horned demoness under him.
The heartbroken Princess Tuluo suddenly heard the transmission from the despicable and shameless ancestral secret demon seed behind her:
"The group of demons is attacking, wanting to devour our flesh."
"I have a sword to gift them, but my mana is insufficient, this time I must trouble sister-in-law."
"Hmm? You want to do...?"
Princess Tuluo, upon hearing, was startled and realized something was wrong, stomping with cow hooves, wanting to struggle.
Unfortunately, how could it be possible at this time?
Almost instantly, the mana within her was drained, like a floodgate opening, by an unstoppable suction force.
This noble demoness with a Mountain Dharma Body and a princess from the Heavenly Demon Realm immediately became weak and shriveled.
However, at this time, neither Tao Qian nor her husband, True Monarch Cang Si, paid her any attention.
Everyone's attention was attracted by a terrifying sword intent in the center of the group of demons.
Tao Qian coldly shouted two words, resounding in the Secret Demon Main Path.
Immediately, the sword light targeting all demon path life burst forth in a thousand-mile radius.
Like a suddenly born, domineering Great Extinction Star Ring.
Wherever it expanded, if there were a demon path presence, they'd either be slaughtered or terrified, fleeing frantically.
Whether a White Bone Demon or Rashamon Demoness, or Asura Ghosts... touching that sword light, though most could withstand with strong demon bodies, still couldn't escape a collapsing array.
No other reason, all demons fear this sword.
The sword light star ring, flashed and vanished.
The once densely packed group of demons in the Secret Demon Main Path suddenly emptied, losing a tenth of the hundreds of thousands of demons, the remaining ninety percent fled to their respective masters uncontrollably.
The demon flesh devouring array, broken.
It was not Tao Qian who paid; he was fine, not using a bit of mana or demon qi.
This time's depletion was entirely borne by Princess Tuluo.
Some time ago, she reverted to human form again, leaving only cow horns, hooves, pale face, trembling body, drenched in sweat as if freshly pulled from water.
This appearance was not just because Tao Qian drained her mana, accidentally drawing more of her essence blood.
This calamity dissipated; she would fearfully lie on a bed for years to recuperate.
Tao Qian, supporting her while holding her, said insincerely:
"Don't blame me for being ruthless, sister-in-law; the demons were fierce, if the sword intent released wasn't enough, I'm afraid it wouldn't have dispersed them."
"But sister-in-law shouldn't be overly alarmed, it should be just this once, my fellow cultivators are all from the Secret Demon Sect, a misunderstanding occurring one time is enough, I think they won't let their subordinate demons devour us again."
Tao Qian's second sentence was clearly directed at the group of Secret Demon Children.
At the same moment, the demon children originally in secret paths of various realms appeared with tacit understanding.
Each initiated to collect the defeated fleeing subordinate demons.
Tao Qian speaking thus naturally carried "provocation."
He also knew that powerful demon path life forms like White Bone Demons and Rashamon Demonesses, would flee when without masters against sword intent.
With masters, it's different.
As long as these demon children command, the group of demons comes again; Tao Qian can at most release several more Demon Cleansing Techniques, killing six to seven-tenths of the demons, the remaining three to four-tenths could consume him.
He understood, and the demon children of all realms also understood.
But they also knew that scene would not happen.
It's not that Tao Qian's shallow provocation worked, but the timing had passed.
As the group of demons scattered, the Secret Demon Children revealed themselves, and naturally, it was impossible to silently allow their subordinates, the gods and demons, to surround and kill another Secret Demon Child.
Of course, Tao Qian's sword also officially gained the recognition of many Secret Demon Children.
As Tao Qian surveyed the dozens of demonic silhouettes in front of him, they too stared back with curious eyes, unabashedly examining and probing Tao Qian.
Voices of admiration, threats, and ridicule resounded one after another:
"What excellent Sword Intent! So this is the Sacrifice Sword Skill's Demon Cleansing Technique from the Great Book of the Ancestral Land, the All Heavens Secret Demon Scripture, truly living up to its name. Indeed, it's an unparalleled swordsmanship for sweeping away the hordes of demons."
"Rumor has it that once this sword is refined, it can slay immortal gods, it can cleave Buddhas, and slay ten thousand spirits and all things... Truly befitting a Demon Child from the Ancestral Land; this technique is worth seeing."
"My master once told me that whether this mission succeeds depends entirely on whether I can subdue the Ancestral Land Demon Child; indeed, he is a formidable opponent."
"Hmph! Instead of refining so many God Demon Great Methods, you go and refine some swordsmanship. You'll eventually be defeated by me."
"Hahaha, after all, he's a pauper; apart from swordsmanship, he probably can't afford to refine any other Great Methods or Great Divine Powers."
"That bankrupt Demon Child, release my consort quickly."
Tao Qian had no time to thoroughly look at the eminent Secret Demon Children, but he heard a distinctive voice first.
At this moment, the other Secret Demon Children also understood what was happening after hearing it.
Immediately, they all showed a look of schadenfreude on their faces.
Even the few individuals who were unique and did not order their gods and demons to ambush, upon hearing True Monarch Cang Si's words, couldn't help but stop and observe the commotion with curious eyes.
The previous splendid scenes were clearly seen by all the Demon Children:
This Ancestral Land Demon Child appeared riding a "Heavenly Demon Consort" displaying her true Dharma Body form, crashing into the group of demons.
At first, the demons thought that the Cow-horned Demoness was the mount of the Ancestral Land Demon Child. After all, as a pauper, he couldn't obtain rare treasures or divine beasts as mounts, so capturing a "Heavenly Demon Consort" for show was feasible.
But now, hearing True Monarch Cang Si's words, the Cow-horned Demoness under the Ancestral Land Demon Child was actually his consort.
Did Cang Si's beloved consort really fall into the hands of the Ancestral Land Demon Child?
The Demon Children knew that these two had no connection.
A forceful snatch was also unlikely.
Although Tao Qian's initial show of Demon Cleansing Sword Intent had displayed prowess, at this moment, not a single person believed that the strength of the Ancestral Land Demon Child could surpass True Monarch Cang Si.
This was absolutely impossible.
The latter had always been a strong contender for the position of Secret Demon Sect Master.
Tao Qian was originally contemplating how to deal with Princess Tuluo.
Chopping her down was never an option for Tao Qian.
It was far too wasteful.
This incredibly foolish and reckless Female Demon had influential backgrounds; she was not only a princess of a country but also the beloved consort of True Monarch Cang Si.
With such a valuable "hostage" in Tao Qian's hands, could he face being Tao Buddha's son without peeling off a few layers of the Red Star Country Lord and True Monarch Cang Si?
While having this thought, he also pondered finding True Monarch Cang Si.
Unexpectedly, the opportunity arrived uninvited.
When Tao Qian heard the words, he looked up, only to see True Monarch Cang Si himself and the extremely deep and affluent escort team reflecting in his eyes.
Immediately, Tao Qian smiled.
He looked just like a weasel ready to steal a chicken.
Gazing at True Monarch Cang Si was as if he were looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Still tightly grasping Princess Tuluo, he responded:
"So it is True Monarch Cang Si in person, Tao Qian greets you, Senior Brother."
"Senior Brother has arrived just in time, I happen to have a debt to settle with Senior Brother."
"We belong to different worlds and have never met before, yet I wonder why you sent your beloved consort to ambush me halfway."
"If not for some life-saving techniques of my own, I fear I would already be dead."
"Does Senior Brother want me to release her?"
"That's possible; however, first, let's settle this debt clearly, shall we?"
"Although that foolish woman acted on her own accord, this True Monarch doesn't care to argue, so let it be considered my mistake."
True Monarch Cang Si evidently sees himself as a straightforward and decent person.
Hearing Tao Qian's accusations, he directly admitted his mistake.
Then, he casually pulled a treasure bag from his waist and threw it forcefully at Tao Qian. Midway through, the treasure bag opened voluntarily, revealing numerous treasures, secret books, and spiritual materials.
"These treasures are rare materials in the Longevity Realm, offered as compensation to you."
"Quickly release my beloved consort."
True Monarch Cang Si was not lying, and both Tao Qian and the Secret Demon Children were knowledgeable enough to see that the treasure bag was indeed priceless at a glance.
However, his actions carried a hint of insult.
Tao Qian saw it and seemed not to be angry but rather smiled.
Suddenly, he reached out, pried open Princess Tuluo's lips and tongue, and activated a thought.
In the next moment, the treasure Tao Qian had coveted for an hour was forcibly extracted from the female demon's abdomen.
Princess Tuluo wanted to stop Tao Qian, but helplessly her body was already void of any strength, and she could only let him.
The Taiyin Treasure Fan!
Upon first seeing this treasure, Tao Qian was moved.
Fortunately, the user was Princess Tuluo; had it been a stronger individual, just one swing could have sent Tao Qian flying thousands of miles.
Tao Qian ignored the falling treasure bag and instead played with the Taiyin Treasure Fan in his hand, which even other Secret Demon Children coveted.
Although he didn't speak, anyone could guess his meaning.
Releasing her is possible!
However, the compensation is insufficient.
