Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System

Chapter 557 - 476: Hero Squad? Demon King Army Executive!

"Hahahaha!"

As Su Yuan’s laughter grew more hearty, the shame and annoyance on the face of the old Taoist, or rather the silver-haired little girl, became even more intense.

The overwhelming pressure of a Master Golden Core suddenly erupted, and in the next moment, it crushed the entire scene, turning Su Yuan into powder.

But at that moment, two abrupt claps and a satisfied laughter suddenly echoed in the scene.

The two similar laughter overlapped each other, indistinguishable from one another.

With the sound of laughter and applause, the silver-haired girl and the group of children around her all turned into bubbles and vanished.

Su Yuan’s cultivation, which had been immobilized due to the illusion, returned to normal, and his appearance reverted to its original form.

The illusion dispersed.

Challenge completed!

However, Su Yuan did not feel happy about breaking the illusion; instead, he grew more solemn.

The real battle was about to begin.

He looked up, and the cave was still the same primitive stone cave, and where the old Taoist originally stood, stood the figure of the fake Chu Jiang, wavering between reality and illusion.

And by Su Yuan’s side, Chu Lanxi’s presence had somehow appeared there.

"Thanks to you, brave knight, I’ve been saved now."

Chu Lanxi clapped as she smiled and said:

"However, during this time, fighting with my shadow exhausted all my power, and I can’t help you with the upcoming battle. It’s up to you to perform."

Su Yuan: "..."

Bah, saved for nothing.

However, rescuing Chu Lanxi itself was a strategic victory, as it meant there were no more hostages in the hands of fake Chu Jiang from now on.

And as soon as the illusion was broken, the Taixu Chu Group, waiting outside the cave, immediately teleported in, appearing behind Su Yuan and Chu Lanxi.

On one side was a boss battered beyond recognition, and on the other, a hero team centered around three Divinity Transformations, with drastically imbalanced combat power.

What was about to unfold seemed to be a righteous beatdown!

Yet, facing this situation, the fake Chu Jiang showed no awareness of being surrounded; his laughter never stopped, until tears rolled down from his eyes.

After a while, fake Chu Jiang wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and looked at Su Yuan:

"Su Yuan, you really are something, using this method to force my teacher to take a gender-changing pill? To step into the game yourself, how admirable."

"Moreover, without any trial and error, you directly found the way to pass through. Is your way of thinking the same as mine? No wonder the real one considers you a good brother."

"If it weren’t for the fact that I’m just a shadow, I would surely drink and chat heartily with you."

Su Yuan rolled his eyes and said plainly:

"Don’t say such boundary-less things, okay? One of my enjoyable friends, Chu Lanxi, is enough; there’s no place for a placeholder like you."

With that, he didn’t bother with more nonsense with the fake Chu Jiang and said directly:

"Hurry up and hand over the branch of the Primordial Dao, and I’ll make it quick for you."

Hearing this, fake Chu Jiang raised an eyebrow slightly and laughed:

"Seems like you think you have me completely, but sorry to disappoint you, I still hold significant control over the Taixu World, the outcome is not certain."

Upon hearing that, Su Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, sensing the worst-case scenario about to unfold.

—This fake Chu Jiang could forcibly influence the beings in the Taixu Illusion Realm through the Primordial Dao.

"Attack!"

Su Yuan shouted.

Yet, as his shout resonated, the fake Chu Jiang’s playful gaze turned cold, sweeping a glance at the three Divinity Transformations behind Su Yuan.

At that moment, as if invisible chains clattered into existence from the void, binding the three Divinity Transformations, inside and out.

The entire scene, only Su Yuan could discern that these chains originated from the Primordial Dao.

They were akin to the Demon Cloud Divine Thunder, using control over the Heavenly Dao to condense into a Celestial Lock, and in this world crafted personally by fake Chu Jiang, even Divinity Transformations couldn’t escape.

In fact, the stronger the Cultivator, the stronger the Heavenly Dao’s shackles they faced.

Luckily, the Cultivators below the three Divinity Transformations were unaffected, indicating that fake Chu Jiang’s control over the Taixu World had a limit.

Restraining the three Divinity Transformations was already his limit, now was his weakest moment.

Following Su Yuan’s shout, Taibai Phecda, Spiritual Glass Sword Immortal, Demon Refining True Monarch, and Zhu Qingqing along with her ancestor, shot out instantly like arrows, attacking fake Chu Jiang from different angles!

Just the advance of four Nascent Soul Cultivators overturned the entire stone cavern, exposing the battle to determine the ownership of the Taixu World under the sun.

Facing the fierce approach of the four Nascent Souls, fake Chu Jiang did not appear panicked at all, calmly standing in place without moving.

And at the very moment when the attacks of the four Nascent Souls were about to hit fake Chu Jiang, an astonishing turn of events occurred.

Whether it was Taibai Phecda and Spiritual Glass Fairy’s swords, or the beast conjured by the Demon Refining True Monarch, or Zhu Qingqing’s ancestor, they all missed their target simultaneously!

Clearly, the enemy was within reach, yet their attacks all brushed past the enemy’s body as if they were throwing the match.

Upon witnessing this scene, Su Yuan’s face turned grave.

"Is it some Illusion Dao technique capable of distorting the target’s perception and targeting to some extent?"

"As expected of Celestial Monarch Taixu’s shadow, even with just a trace of remaining consciousness, the Illusion Dao techniques mastered are beyond what Nascent Soul Cultivators can unravel."

"However, he couldn’t possibly make his entire form intangible, how would he handle area attacks then?"

As Su Yuan’s mind raced, the four Nascent Souls also successively came up with the same strategy he had thought of.

"Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect!"

The couple combined their swords, and their Sword Intent shot up to the sky, swiftly spreading to the Reincarnation Nether Realm, Purple Gold Dragon Realm, and Star River Realm, affecting sword cultivators across the world.

The next second, nearly all the flying swords in the Taixu World surged towards them.

In the blink of an eye, a dark cloud formed by varied flying swords, like an overwhelming force, descended upon Fake Chu Jiang!

"Oh? Truly a pair of thieving couple, stealing all the swords in the world, living up to the name of being demons under Old Demon Su."

Gazing at the sword rain falling from the sky, Fake Chu Jiang sighed sincerely.

But before he could finish, his whole body was engulfed by the countless flying swords.

"Slave Spirit!"

At the same time, the Demon Refining True Monarch shouted deeply, releasing an aura belonging to the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, centered around the Demon Transformation Sect’s captive beasts, targeting the demon race worldwide.

Except for a few great demons with Nascent Soul cultivation who could resist, the rest of the demon race were all affected by the Slave Spirit’s effects.

Subsequently, nearly ten percent of their bloodline power was extracted, transforming into a crimson blood stream that poured into the Demon Refining True Monarch.

Upon gathering the bloodline of flying beasts and scaled creatures, the Demon Refining True Monarch, originally devoid of demon characteristics, began to rapidly swell and change.

The advantages of various demon races manifested in his body, transforming his form toward a perfect shape.

Gradually, a majestic beast, a hundred feet long with a dragon’s tail, phoenix’s wings, and sturdy four legs seeming to merge the images of dragon, phoenix, and qilin, appeared on the battlefield.

In front of this massive beast, one hundred feet long and tens of feet tall at the shoulder, the mountains appeared insignificant.

Zhu Tianqing looked up at her father’s current appearance, her beautiful eyes twinkling with stars.

"Transforming demon race bloodline... for the protection of the human race, truly... a good technique."

The Purple Gold Dragon Venerable, tightly bound by the Celestial Lock, forcibly broke free of some restraints and offered a comment.

"You’ve hurt so many protected animals; with your antics, the potential of the entire demon race in the Taixu World will decline."

"Luckily, there’s no animal protection group here, or you’d definitely be locked up for hundreds of years."

Fake Chu Jiang, weaving through the endless sword rain, pointed at the Demon Refining True Monarch and jeered.

The Demon Refining True Monarch didn’t waste words on him, opened his mouth full of sharp fangs, and spewed a True Flame, fused with the essence of all fire-path demon races, instantly engulfing Fake Chu Jiang.

The sword rain whistled, leveling mountain after mountain.

The demon fire raged, evaporating great rivers and lands of thousands of miles, and the ground directly swept by the demon fire instantly transformed into a lava lake.

Yet, despite the colossal attack range, Fake Chu Jiang remained at ease, sneering while slipping through every gap to evade all attacks.

"Hey, hey, take it easy, will you? Borrowing swords, using the demon race, and destroying the natural environment; at this rate, my reputation will drop even further..."

Watching from afar, Su Yuan felt paralyzed by the scene.

The heroes’ squads risking themselves to find a flaw in the Demon King and gather intelligence for the heroes was indeed an emotionally moving plot.

But... aren’t you guys a bit too destructive?

Are these truly allies of justice and not commanders of the Demon King Army?

Su Yuan couldn’t help but turn to Chu Lanxi:

"What’s with your shadow being so hard to kill? Haven’t even chipped its paint till now?"

Chu Lanxi responded with a grin:

"Because he turns unfavorable outcomes into illusions and removes them, leaving only the reality where he evades all attacks."

Shocked, Su Yuan asked, "Can such a thing be done?"

Chu Lanxi: "Of course, the Illusion Dao is powerful, transforming one illusion into countless paths; otherwise, how do you think I’m standing here talking to you?"

Su Yuan paused for a moment before reluctantly asking:

"So how do we specifically defeat your shadow? By wearing it down?"

Chu Lanxi nodded:

"Exactly, grind it down until it can no longer use Illusion Dao Divine Techniques; apart from that, I have no other solution."

Their conversation needed no concealment, and its content clearly reached everyone’s ears.

Since there was no clever trick to deal with Fake Chu Jiang, everyone just gritted their teeth and fought hard.

Then, Zhu Qingqing made her move!

"Hehe! Witness my army of countless puppets!"

"Boss, remember my contribution, okay? Make sure to take my body and master out with you!"

With a wave of Zhu Qingqing’s little hand, nearly infinite human puppets surged out from the storage magical treasure.

In an instant, a puppet army of nearly ten million spread across this realm.

Su Yuan: "..."

This one’s a heavyweight too!

Zhu Qingqing, are you secretly eating your colleagues or what?!

The entire Zhu Yan White Bone Observation’s puppets together are less than five million, and now they’ve doubled in a little over a month?

How many cultivators from the Ten Great Demon Sects have you secretly eliminated?
