The king of the Moon River Kingdom, with the highest realm, was merely at the first layer of the Earth Immortal Realm, while the rest of the Imperial Guards were just a group of cultivators ranging from the Dao Palace Realm to the Unity Realm.
“Yue’er, no, it can’t be you, how could you be from the Demon Race?”
The king of the Moon River Kingdom looked pained, his large hand covering his face. He couldn’t imagine that the prime culprit behind the deaths of several of his sons and the State Preceptor, which led to chaos under heaven in the Moon River Kingdom, would be his own daughter.
He was of the human race, and so was the empress; how could they have given birth to a Great Demon?
“Your daughter is indeed not from the Demon Race, but she has been possessed by a Great Demon. The Great Demon has devoured her internal organs, consumed her soul, and now her appearance is nothing more than an empty shell.
It is merely using a secret technique to disguise itself as the princess, continuously killing the cultivators of the Moon River Kingdom, then using another secret technique to absorb their cultivation.
I suspect the reason it chose to disguise as the princess is mostly to hide its identity and avoid being killed by stronger cultivators of the Righteous Dao, while also exploiting this identity as a cover to commit atrocities in the Moon River Kingdom without restraint,”
Lu Changsheng had traveled with his disciples for thirty thousand years in the Immortal Realm, his experiences varied and vast. He identified the true form of the princess during the banquet.
“Are you saying my daughter was killed by it?”
The king of the Moon River Kingdom understood the truth and felt equally pained.
All of his children had been killed by this Great Demon.
The expression of the princess of the Moon River Kingdom turned ferocious, and for some reason, Lu Changsheng gave it a sense of profound and immeasurable danger, “You, what exactly is your background? Why intervene in this great king’s affairs!”
“Where there is injustice under heaven, I wish to intervene.”
Lu Changsheng spread his five fingers and the medium-grade ultimate treasure, the Kashyapa Golden Light Mirror, appeared.
To deal with a mere Great Demon at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm, the Kashyapa Golden Light Mirror alone was enough.
The Kashyapa Golden Light Mirror emitted a beam of Buddhist light, shining towards the princess of the Moon River Kingdom.
“Aaahhhh!!!”
The princess of the Moon River Kingdom let out a painful scream as her beautiful body cracked open, and the true body of the Great Demon within rapidly expanded!
“Quick, fall back!”
The king of the Moon River Kingdom and the Imperial Guards hurriedly retreated.
They were panicked.
Under the illumination of the Kashyapa Golden Light Mirror, the true form of the Great Demon was revealed, a Thousand-Legged Centipede, its body larger than the palace itself. The sight of its hairy legs moving was chilling.
This was a peak Earth Immortal Realm exceptional Great Demon!
The strongest cultivators of the Moon River Kingdom had all been devoured by it!
“You brat, I’m about to step into the Heavenly Immortal Realm soon, and yet you dare to intervene in my good deeds. I will kill you!”
The Thousand-Legged Centipede lunged towards Lu Changsheng, intending to kill this Loose Cultivator who had seen through its true identity.
“This is your chance for training, but do not damage its head,”
Lu Changsheng didn’t plan to act personally, but instead allowed his three disciples to use this opportunity for cultivation.
“Freeze!”
Ning Qianqian summoned the Demon God Clock while Dugu Aotian summoned the Demonic Heaven Bell. The two low-grade ultimate treasures locked down the space around the palace, leaving the Thousand-Legged Centipede nowhere to escape.
Dugu Aotian activated his Demonic Cultivation Skills, the Demonic Qi surging wildly as he held the Bloodlight Sword. A bloody sword light slashed towards the Thousand-Legged Centipede!

With a hiss, the Thousand-Legged Centipede was cut in half.
“A strong fighter from the Demon Sects?”
The Demonic Qi of the Thousand-Legged Centipede spread out, reconnecting the severed parts of its true body, restoring it to its original state.
As a Earth Immortal level Great Demon, as long as it wasn’t utterly destroyed, it could not be easily killed.
The purple-haired Ning Qianqian used the Demon God Clock to open a spatial gateway, arriving in front of the Thousand-Legged Centipede. She formed her fingers into a fist and directly punched the Thousand-Legged Centipede!
The punch from Ning Qianqian’s small fist sent the Hundred-Legged Centipede’s hundred-thousand-pound body flying backward, and the force of the blow tore a bloody hole through its true body, spraying dark purple Demon Blood.
What terrified the Thousand-Legged Centipede most was the suppression of Ning Qianqian’s bloodline.
Ning Qianqian didn’t reveal the true body of the Dragon Emperor, but her bloodline exerted an invisible repression.
“Extinguish!”
Xiao Fan’s fist, carrying divine flames, struck the Thousand-Legged Centipede from another direction, also punching a hole in its true body, the flames consuming the flesh and causing even greater depletion of the creature’s True Qi.
Lu Changsheng’s three disciples ganged up on the Thousand-Legged Centipede, a being of a higher realm than themselves, punching and kicking, and actually gained the upper hand.
Lu Changsheng’s disciples were all one in a billion extraordinary geniuses, each possessing the ability to fight across ranks. Even though their realms had not yet reached the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm, the three teamed up could defeat the Thousand-Legged Centipede at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm.
The king of the Moon River Kingdom and the Imperial Guards, witnessing the Thousand-Legged Centipede completely powerless under the suppression of Lu Changsheng’s three disciples, were stupefied.
This Thousand-Legged Centipede had nearly brought the Moon River Kingdom to ruins. Yet, without Lu Changsheng even lifting a finger, just his three disciples managed to suppress the Great Demon.
With the Thousand-Legged Centipede restrained by the Demon God Clock and the Demonic Heaven Bell, two great magical artifacts, it struggled to escape the onslaught of Xiao Fan, Ning Qianqian, and Dugu Aotian, continually suffering heavy blows.
As long as its magical power was exhausted, it would eventually be beaten until its soul scattered.
“Enough, once this great king dies, she will not be able to survive either!”
The Thousand-Legged Centipede hysterically roared as a soul emerged from the center of its head.
“My daughter!”
The king of the Moon River Kingdom cried out. The Thousand-Legged Centipede had devoured the soul of the princess of the Moon River Kingdom and fused with it. If the Thousand-Legged Centipede were to be destroyed, both physically and spiritually, then the soul of the Moon River Kingdom’s princess would also vanish, never able to enter the cycle of reincarnation.
Xiao Fan, Ning Qianqian, and Dugu Aotian, afraid of destroying the soul of the Moon River Kingdom’s princess, ceased their attacks.
The Thousand-Legged Centipede’s eyes blazed with madness, not expecting to use the princess’s soul as a bargaining chip in negotiations.
“Finally, she has come out.”
Lu Changsheng had long seen that the Sea of Consciousness of the Thousand-Legged Centipede still imprisoned the soul of the Moon River Kingdom’s princess, so he specifically instructed his disciples not to attack the centipede’s head.
Lu Changsheng flicked his right hand, and the Soul-Collecting Ring emitted a flash of dark light. As the Thousand-Legged Centipede, ready for a do-or-die struggle, received a Spirit Attack, its eyes became confused.
Lu Changsheng took a step forward, and in the next instant, appeared in front of the Thousand-Legged Centipede. The Immortal Slaying Sword was unsheathed, slicing through the centipede’s head as if cutting through tofu.
Another dark light flashed from the Soul-Collecting Ring, and the soul of the Moon River Kingdom’s princess was captured inside the ring.
Lu Changsheng casually retrieved the Monster Race Golden Core from the Thousand-Legged Centipede.
Without its Golden Core, and its soul ravaged by the Soul-Collecting Ring, the true body of the demon race creature collapsed thunderously to the ground, shattering the stone slabs of the palace, devoid of any sign of life.
The Great Demon that had plagued the Moon River Kingdom was effortlessly killed by Lu Changsheng.
“Qianqian.”
Lu Changsheng casually tossed the Monster Race Golden Core of the Thousand-Legged Centipede to Ning Qianqian.
Ning Qianqian, unceremoniously, swallowed the Golden Core in one gulp.
The centipede, notorious for countless murders and nearly stepping into the Heavenly Immortal Realm, possessed an extremely astonishing Demon Core. For Ning Qianqian, who carried the Dragon Emperor Bloodline, it was without a doubt an incredibly nourishing tonic.
“She swallowed the demon’s Golden Core directly?!”
“Is this little one even human?”
The cultivators of the Moon River Kingdom were dumbstruck as such a Great Demon’s Golden Core, if not refined and merely swallowed, was likely to cause an ordinary cultivator’s body to burst from the immense demonic power contained within it.
Not to mention, the Golden Core of the Thousand-Legged Centipede carried a trace of evil qi, which could affect someone with a less domineering physique.
Yet, Ning Qianqian swallowed it and appeared as if nothing had happened.
The cultivators of the Moon River Kingdom guessed correctly; Ning Qianqian truly wasn’t human…
“State Preceptor, my daughter…”
The king of the Moon River Kingdom, seeing Lu Changsheng forcibly performing surgery to open the skull of the centipede and retrieve his daughter’s soul, couldn’t help but be anxious.
In his eyes, Lu Changsheng, who easily killed such a peerless Great Demon, had means that reached the heavens, and there was a possibility he could actually revive his daughter.
“Even with my cultivation, it’s impossible to revive someone out of thin air. Fortunately, your daughter’s Three Souls and Seven Spirits are still intact; I can use the lotus to reconstruct a body for her.”
“State Preceptor possesses such divine skills; truly a god-like being! The State Preceptor has rid our Moon River Kingdom of the demon, an immeasurable act of merit. I will have painters capture the State Preceptor’s likeness, and in every city, we will construct Daoist Temples in your honor, with ceaseless incense day and night.”
The king of the Moon River Kingdom was overjoyed, not imagining that Lu Changsheng, in addition to dispatching the Great Demon, could also revive his daughter.
“No problem.”
Lu Changsheng naturally did not mind having temples erected for him in the Moon River Kingdom.
This was already the sixteenth small country to establish temples for Lu Changsheng.
All offerings of incense would transform into intangible merits, ceaselessly nurturing the Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.
