If one could find the weakness of the Supreme Emperor Body, the significance would be self-evident.
The Sky Martial Demon Monarch, wielding the Demon Blade, struck at the Princess.
The Demonic Qi bursting forth from the Demon Blade extended for thousands of feet; the terrifying blade light slashed down the Imperial Guards of the Immortal Dynasty who were trying to protect the Princess.
The Imperial Guard of the Immortal Dynasty, comparable to the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals of the Heavenly Court, basically comprised the strongest group of cultivators in the Immortal Dynasty, yet they still couldn’t match up to the real Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.
In the presence of a Demon Realm powerhouse like the Sky Martial Demon Monarch, the Imperial Guard of the Immortal Dynasty were effortlessly slaughtered.
“A third-rank Divine King?”
The Princess’s face turned pale.
She was a fifth-rank Divine King, but the Sky Martial Demon Monarch was a third-rank Divine King.
A fifth-rank Divine King had little chance of victory against a third-rank Divine King.
The Princess possessed the Supreme Imperial Physique Bloodline, but only partially.
Being a renowned expert of the Demon Realm, the Sky Martial Demon Monarch also had a special constitution.
The Sky Martial Demon Monarch was a Great Demon known for his belligerence in the Demon Realm, a subordinate of the Daoyu Demon Venerable, and had once invaded the Immortal Realm, slaying eleven Divine Kings before fleeing back to the Demon Realm after being pursued by the Taichu Saint.
Therefore, even in the Immortal Realm, the Sky Martial Demon Monarch was quite notorious.
Now that she was facing the Sky Martial Demon Monarch, her chances of survival were slim.
The Sky Martial Demon Monarch massacred hundreds of Imperial Guards and approached the Princess, his Demon Blade fierce like thunder, annihilating everything!
The Princess gripped her Longsword tightly, blocking the Demon Blade of the Sky Martial Demon Monarch.
However, the sharpness of the Demon Blade caused fine cracks to appear on her Longsword.
Like a mighty dike that collapses due to an ant hole, this crack was exceedingly fatal.
“Sky-Slaying Eighteen Blades!”
The attacks of the Sky Martial Demon Monarch came like a storm, one after another, incredibly terrifying.
The Princess was at a disadvantage, only able to passively fend off the attacks of the Sky Martial Demon Monarch, while also guarding against the Spirit Attack of the Bewildering Heart Demon Monarch.
Other princes and princesses were also targeted by the strong of the Demon Realm; they were too busy to come to help the Princess.
In the direction of the imperial palace, the Immortal Dragon Emperor was fighting with a Demon Lord, and the City-Protecting Great Formation of the imperial city shook from time to time.
If not for the City-Protecting Great Formation shielding the imperial city, the aftermath of the battle between the Immortal Dragon Emperor and the Demon Lord would have already leveled the imperial city.
Without the Immortal Dragon Emperor intervening to save her, the Princess’s predicament was precarious.
Crack.
Under the ferocious assault of the Sky Martial Demon Monarch, the Princess’s Magical Treasure was shattered completely, and the fragments even scratched her fair complexion.
The Princess closed her eyes in despair, resigned to her fate.
Suddenly, a figure stepped in, blocking the Demon Blade of the Sky Martial Demon Monarch.
The Nether Flame Sword parried the Demon Blade.
The Saber Qi from the Demon Blade scraped against Lu Changsheng’s face.
Protected by the radiant light from the Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda and his strong physique tempered by the practice of the Eternal Indestructible Art, Lu Changsheng still felt a stinging pain on his cheek.
This attested to the Sky Martial Demon Monarch’s strength.
The might of the Sky Martial Demon Monarch had surpassed Lu Changsheng’s estimation.
The Sky Martial Demon Monarch was a Tempered Body Expert from the Demon Realm, who also possessed an exceptional talent in the art of the blade. His blade techniques were at the pinnacle of mastery.
Lu Changsheng rarely encountered such highly skilled blade masters.
“Was it you who saved me?”
The Princess noticed Lu Changsheng blocking the Sky Martial Demon Monarch’s attacks and couldn’t help but be moved.
But upon second thought, she realized Lu Changsheng, a ninth-rank Divine King, could not possibly be a match for the Sky Martial Demon Monarch, who was a third-rank Divine King.
“Hurry and flee, otherwise you’ll be killed by him.”
“I know what I’m doing.”
Lu Changsheng, relying on his strong body obtained through Body Tempering, engaged in an intense battle with the Sky Martial Demon Monarch.
Lu Changsheng employed the Sword Dao of the Fifth Sword Realm and fought fiercely with the Sky Martial Demon Monarch.
“The swordsmanship of Mount Taihua Sacred Land is indeed exquisite, but your cultivation level is too low, and your Body Tempering is also insufficient. Between you and me, there is a gap of six realms!”
Sky Martial Demon Monarch lets out a long howl towards the heavens, his black hair standing on end, his aura continuously climbing.
Very strong.
Lu Changsheng experienced the terrifying might of the Tempered Body Expert from the Demon Realm.
Although the Carefree Old Man is also a third-rank Divine King Tempered Body Expert, the Carefree Old Man primarily cultivates in secret techniques, not Martial Techniques. However, the Sky Martial Demon Monarch in front of him cultivates in Martial Techniques, and he places greater emphasis on Body Tempering compared to the Carefree Old Man; his physical body is extremely powerful.
Lu Changsheng’s comprehension of the Sword Dao might have caught up with Sky Martial Demon Monarch’s accomplishments in Saber Techniques, but his Divine Sense and physical body couldn’t keep up with Sky Martial Demon Monarch’s speed.
In the instant that Lu Changsheng unleashed his sword, six silver needles with a dark purple sheen flew out from his sleeve, shooting towards Sky Martial Demon Monarch.
“Hidden weapons?”
Sky Martial Demon Monarch frantically wielded the Demon Blade in his hand, swatting away the six silver needles, without receiving a scratch.
It seems Lu Changsheng already knew that his Storm Pear Flower Needles’ surprise attack couldn’t harm Sky Martial Demon Monarch, so he took this opportunity to increase the distance between himself, the Princess, and Sky Martial Demon Monarch.
If the Storm Pear Flower Needles had successfully hit Sky Martial Demon Monarch, he would not have been able to endure the terrifying toxicity of the Devouring Heaven Demon Poison.
But Sky Martial Demon Monarch was well-prepared.
Lu Changsheng used the Mountain and Rivers Chart and directly captured Dantai Meng, the daughter of Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable; as long as Sky Martial Demon Monarch was not an idiot, he would be more cautious around Lu Changsheng.
Sky Martial Demon Monarch, as a Tempered Body Expert, had a reaction speed stronger than that of other cultivators of the same realm.
“It seems I have no choice but to use this method.”
Lu Changsheng originally wanted to use the Storm Pear Flower Needles to launch a surprise attack, but seeing as Sky Martial Demon Monarch dodged it, he had no choice but to take out an Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill.
He intended to make use of a twenty-first rank Divine Medicine to forcefully fight Sky Martial Demon Monarch on equal footing!
Lu Changsheng swallowed an Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill; as it entered his body, the vast medicinal power melted, filling his five viscera and six bowels and his Zodiac Meridians, causing his cultivation level to continue to climb.
Eighth-rank Divine King, seventh-rank Divine King, sixth-rank Divine King, fifth-rank Divine King, fourth-rank Divine King!
Lu Changsheng’s realm temporarily reached the Fourth Divine King Realm!
“Now, my cultivation can keep up…” Lu Changsheng felt the strength within his body, several times greater than usual, “Sky Martial Demon Monarch, let’s have another grand battle.”
“You rascal…”
Sky Martial Demon Monarch, known as a battle fanatic in the Demon Realm, now faced Lu Changsheng who had directly consumed a twenty-first rank Divine Pill and forcefully elevated his cultivation from the Ninth Divine King Realm to the Fourth Divine King Realm, showing a rare flicker of fear.
At this moment, Lu Changsheng had already launched his attack, exhibiting a divine mastery in the Fifth Sword Realm.
“I will not lose to you!”
Sky Martial Demon Monarch grew increasingly frenzied, his eyes bloodshot, his black Demonic Qi becoming as thick and bloody red as fresh blood, his great sword slashing about like a tempest.
The Princess, seeing Lu Changsheng actually fighting the third-rank Divine King, Sky Martial Demon Monarch, to a standstill, had her eyes shimmer with increasing brightness.
Witnessing Lu Changsheng’s might firsthand, she finally understood why he was acclaimed as the number one prodigy of the Immortal Realm by the Heavenly Court and various Holy Lands.
Upon reflection, she realized that she acquired Lu Changsheng’s friendship in exchange for a fragment of a bamboo scroll, and he would even give her a complete copy of the Qing Emperor Manuscript contained in that scroll.
This time, she had met a noble person.
Had it not been for her identity as the great Princess of the Immortal Dynasty, she might even have considered the idea of following Lu Changsheng.
“This fellow can actually fight to a standstill against Sky Martial Demon Monarch, how is he so powerful?”
Dantai Meng, trapped inside the Mountain and Rivers Chart, could still use a secret technique to see what was happening on the outside, and she was astounded.
Originally, Dantai Meng thought that reaching the Divine King Realm would allow her to take revenge on Lu Changsheng, but Lu Changsheng’s progress was even greater, to the point that even Sky Martial Demon Monarch was not his opponent.
Sky Martial Demon Monarch, one of the battle generals under Daoyu Demon Venerable, had a notorious reputation in the Demon Realm, yet couldn’t kill Lu Changsheng.
“It seems best not to provoke this guy…”
Dantai Meng realized that she was completely no match for Lu Changsheng, be it in terms of cultivation level or cunning, she had been completely outplayed by him.
Convinced, Dantai Meng ceased to struggle and obediently stayed within the Mountain and Rivers Chart.
As long as Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable was alive, given her surrender, it was unlikely that Lu Changsheng would kill her.
Outside the Mountain and Rivers Chart, the Demon Army was engaging in a fierce battle with a million disciples of the Confucian Sect, burning books and burying Confucian scholars.
The disciples brought by Lu Changsheng began to make their moves, even Daoist Earth Hound joined the fray.
A Daluo Golden Immortal Realm Demon Chief, intending to slaughter this big yellow dog and enjoy a dog meat feast tonight, found what appeared to be a benign big yellow dog suddenly baring its gaping maw, swallowing the Demon Chief whole, followed by a satisfied burp, with Demonic Qi escaping from its mouth.
Daoist Earth Hound reverted to his true Demon Race form, a nine-hundred-zhang tall Three-Eyed Divine Canine crushing the surrounding demons beneath him.
