Chapter 150: The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Desires: My family, this time we have really surrendered to the enemy 【5,000 words, please give me a monthly ticket】

Chapter 150: Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord: Everyone, I’ve truly defected this time! 【5,000 words, seeking monthly votes】

Chu Tiankuang’s words caused an uproar.

What did he mean?

Why would this Holy Son Candidate say that the Sect Master isn’t Lord Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord? Aren’t they the same person?

They were suspicious, thinking to themselves: The Sect Master before them, whether in appearance, temperament, or even the method of Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo, was exactly as they remembered. They were all experts in Divine Sense and True Disciples of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, so they wouldn’t be unable to tell if a person was real or not.

Jiang Li looked forward.

His gaze, however, fell on the System prompts.

If the Body Refining Cultivation Technique wanted a grand appearance, what should he do? Of course, he should pamper it.

He no longer planned to return to the Nether Mountains and intended to finish this job and then slip away. Whether his identity was exposed or not didn’t matter; besides, dead men tell no tales.

Immediately.

He said calmly, “It seems you are also a backup Possession body of the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord. I didn’t recognize you, and this small flaw became the key to you seeing through me. I have to say, the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord hides truly deeply. Besides himself, no one knows how many Possession bodies there are. This is my only flaw.”

As soon as these words came out,

the scene immediately exploded. The five Golden Core True Disciple Demonic Cultivators’ scalps tingled. The Sect Master before them was actually an imposter! Who was this person? How dared he so brazenly impersonate Lord Demon’s identity, openly reside in the Ten Thousand Demons Great Hall, and enjoy the worship of everyone?

This person was too bold.

He was practically courting death.

Chu Tiankuang’s expression also changed drastically.

He wasn’t entirely sure if this person was truly the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord; it was just that the other party acted as if he didn’t know him, which made him suspicious, but only suspicious.

After all,

besides the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord, no one else could display the complete form of the Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo using the Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo method.

It could be said that this black-gold Sword Embryo was the most powerful proof of the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord himself.

But now… the other party admitted himself that he was indeed not the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord.

Chu Tiankuang’s thoughts were identical to those of the other backup Possession bodies: Who exactly was this person, daring to impersonate the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect?

“Who are you?”

Jiang Li: Here it comes, here it comes, the Body Refining Cultivation Technique’s most anticipated scene — exposing the Emperor’s identity during a secret inspection, with all officials bowing in congratulations, and those who caused trouble kneeling in fear, trembling.

Jiang Li didn’t speak.

He merely silently removed the disguise of the Divine Ability “Formless Myriad Transformations Art,” and the blurry face with a pair of dark, swirling pupils slowly dematerialized, revealing his true appearance.

He was tall and straight, with distinct facial features, and a black robe swayed.

“Invincible Jiang!?”

“He is Jiang Li, the Heaven Sword Peak Chief of the Tianxuan Holy Land, who condensed the world’s first Golden Core.”

The pupils of the five Golden Core True Disciple Demonic Cultivators constricted, their expressions filled with shock.

They had considered many possibilities, such as a disguise by a Personal Disciple of the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord, or a certain Cave Master within the sect, or even other Demonic Sects coming to fish in troubled waters. But they had never imagined that this person would actually be a newly ascended Golden Core Disciple from a Righteous Path Immortal Sect.

This was even more shocking than their discovery that the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord was an imposter.

Only one thought remained in their minds: This person was too audacious. What he had done in the Ten Thousand Demons Sect was practically tearing a hole in the sky. Once exposed, the other party would find it impossible to move an inch in the Cultivation World and would suffer the Ten Thousand Demons Sect’s relentless pursuit, regardless of the cost.

“You got it right. As a reward, I’ll give you a Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo.”

Jiang Li’s thoughts shifted.

The Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo once again transformed into black-gold micro-light, piercing into the Sea of Consciousness of a Demonic Sect Golden Core True Disciple.

This Demonic Path True Disciple only felt a chill in his glabella, and the scene before him suddenly collapsed. His stable Sea of Consciousness shattered like a mirror, and wherever the Sword Embryo passed, his Divine Sense melted silently like snow meeting the sun.

“No, Lord Demon, save me!”

This Demonic Path True Disciple screamed in terror.

His last wisp of consciousness connected to the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord’s Divine Thought body within his identity token.

Then.

He fell to the ground with a thud.

His eyes became unfocused, and blood flowed from his seven orifices.

But it was precisely this last wisp of consciousness that successfully made the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord’s Divine Thought in the blood-colored space notice everything happening outside.

A dark-red mist rose from the dead Demonic Path True Disciple, opening a pair of scarlet eyes.

“Interesting. Are you my 170th backup body? Your information seems to be outdated. With your Cultivation and strength, you shouldn’t still be at 170th. What are you doing now? Killing the backup bodies under my jurisdiction?”

As soon as this wisp of Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord’s Divine Thought appeared, he immediately recognized Jiang Li and pointed out the peculiarity about him, which was his 170th ranking.

Hearing this,

the remaining four Demonic Path True Disciples were stunned.

Holy crap.

Was Invincible Jiang, one of the Righteous Path’s most prominent figures and the world’s first Golden Core, also a backup Possession body like them?

No.

How was this achieved?

The Holy Son Candidate, whom the Ten Thousand Demons Sect had painstakingly cultivated, couldn’t reach the top of the golden core rankings, so how did a freely-raised backup body become the top of the golden core rankings?

This was too outrageous.

The events happening today were more explosive one after another, leaving them all utterly shocked.

Chu Tiankuang also showed a look of astonishment.

The most famous True Disciple of the Righteous Path Immortal Sect recently was one of their own. If this were to get out, regardless of whether it was the Tianxuan Holy Land or the secular world, the number of people who would lose their faith because of it would probably fill an entire river of blood.

Jiang Li didn’t speak.

Because the System notification sound had already rung in front of him.

【Ding, the Cultivation Technique “Controlling Spirit Severing Thought Art” is back online.】

Jiang Li: Damn, his guess was indeed correct. The “high-quality Divine Sense meteorite” mentioned by the Refining Spirit Art referred precisely to the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord’s other Divine Thought bodies. Now that the target had appeared, the passively working Refining Spirit Art had also started to act.

The next second.

Jiang Li, whose body was controlled by the Cultivation Technique, immediately formed a hand seal.

The Soul Capturing Seal appeared.

It drew this wisp of Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord’s Divine Thought body into his Sea of Consciousness.

The Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord’s Divine Thought body also noticed Jiang Li’s actions. His scarlet eyes first froze, then erupted in fury: “Number 170, what are you doing? You want to absorb a wisp of my Divine Thought? You’re courting death.”

As he spoke,

the dark-red mist continuously surged, and a higher-level Spiritual Pressure burst forth, sweeping across the entire scene.

Under this Spiritual Pressure, the other Demonic Path True Disciples felt their thoughts slow down, and an immense pressure, like Mount Tai, bore down, almost crushing them and destabilizing their Sea of Consciousness.

However… this had no effect on the System.

The Refining Spirit Art continued to form the Soul Capturing Seal, gradually drawing this wisp of Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord’s Divine Thought body into his glabella.

The Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord was startled, because he couldn’t resist this pull.

“Damn it, Number 17, Number 18, and everyone else, awaken the Divine Thought of this Lord on your bodies.”

Hearing this,

the hearts of the other backup Possession bodies trembled.

A wisp of Lord Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord’s Divine Thought couldn’t resist the Heaven Sword Peak Chief’s absorption?

What the hell was this Golden Core?

In their panic, they all awakened the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord’s Divine Thought bodies in their identity tokens. Soon, five more wisps of dark-red mist rose, and identical scarlet eyes stared intently at Jiang Li.

Their thoughts were connected. As long as one Divine Thought body knew, the others would also know what had happened. Although the Fallen Demon Valley severely suppressed this ability, as long as they left here, the Divine Thoughts scattered across the world would know what happened here, and then label Number 170 as a traitor.

And for those in the same space, their telepathic ability was still active.

Precisely because of this,

they launched a Spirit Refining attack immediately.

This was not the Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo method, but rather condensing Divine Sense into a single point, using that point to break through a surface, penetrating into the opponent’s Sea of Consciousness space to cause destruction.

Jiang Li’s movements were not slow.

The Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo slashed out.

As the Sword Embryo trembled slightly, a clear sword light, like a dawn star piercing through Chaos, erupted with unprecedented brilliance, cutting off all Divine Sense attacks. His movements, however, did not slow down in the slightest, and the first wisp of Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord’s Divine Thought had already been smoothly drawn into his Sea of Consciousness… Seeing this scene,

the other five wisps of Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord’s Divine Thought immediately realized that their connection with this Divine Thought body had been completely severed; it was as if it never existed.

“Damn it, the Divine Thought on this Number 170 was probably also isolated by him using this method. He also learned the main body’s Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo, so our Divine Sense attacks are completely ineffective.”

They had never thought that one day they would be at war with a Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo and have no way to deal with it.

Nothing else.

The Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo was perfect, cutting through everything. Not only the Physical Body and Sea of Consciousness, but even Divine Sense attacks could be severed.

The only way to defeat the Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo was to crush it with absolute Divine Sense strength.

But precisely because they were mere wisps of Divine Thought, they couldn’t achieve this.

“Leave here and return to the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. Something seems to have happened to the main body, as there’s no response. But as long as we return to the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, he won’t be able to cause any trouble.”

The five Divine Thought bodies made a decision simultaneously.

They transformed into red light and flew towards the exit of the small valley. The five-tier confinement Formation was like nothing to them; they could easily bypass it.

Jiang Li was startled.

Although his identity had been exposed to a certain extent, as long as he dealt with the hidden danger here, this minor exposure would be harmless. However, if he allowed these Divine Thought bodies to escape, he would truly become the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord’s number one enemy.

“System, let me handle this…”

Jiang Li hadn’t finished speaking.

The System’s prompt sounded.

【Ding, the Cultivation Technique “Controlling Spirit Severing Thought Art” watched helplessly as the excellent Divine Sense Meteorite escaped, feeling unwilling. Why couldn’t these inferior Divine Senses obediently jump into the fire pit and let this Art toy with them? They are deliberately increasing this Art’s workload, unforgivable. The Spirit-Capturing Spell begins to evolve.】

Under Jiang Li’s stunned gaze, a vertical slit opened on his glabella, giving birth to a vertical pupil. The vertical pupil evolved the path of the Spirit-Capturing Spell, generating suction like a dark vortex, drawing all the ownerless remnants of Divine Sense from the surrounding corpses into it.

Even the light seemed to be sucked in, becoming dim.

The five wisps of Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord’s Divine Sense, which were already close to the entrance of the small valley, suddenly felt a strong suction coming from behind them. Their figures first paused, then were slowly pulled, flying backward frantically.

“No!”

Amidst five unwilling roars, these five Divine Thought bodies were all drawn into the third vertical pupil that had opened on his glabella.

Jiang Li was startled.

Holy crap.

It can evolve like this?

The Qi Refining Method, “Supreme Divine Thunder Induction Heart Sutra,” burst forth in battle, wanting to slay demons and monsters; the Art, “Original Divine Fire True Understanding,” made a Breakthrough in battle, unwilling to be defeated.

But the Refining Spirit Art, “Controlling Spirit Severing Thought Art,” evolved in battle because its workload was too great, so on the basis of strengthening the Spirit-Capturing Spell, it evolved the ability to instantly capture all ownerless remnants of Divine Sense.

To be honest, this truly opened his eyes.

The potential that a slacking workhorse could unleash was indeed infinite.

He thought: The reason why the Refining Spirit Art evolved a third eye to instantly capture all ownerless remnants of Divine Sense is probably because it wants to skip the step of forming hand seals. This is truly a case of not wanting to move at all.

Fortunately, you are a Refining Spirit Art. If it were any other type of Cultivation Technique, you would be exhausted to death.

Jiang Li secretly complained.

But then again, as his strength continuously increased, this ability to instantly capture all ownerless remnants of Divine Sense was very useful. If he had this ability when he annihilated the Ten Thousand Demons Sect’s two great demon lairs, he would have already gathered the Divine Sense Meteorite needed to forge the Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo by now.

After all.

The two great demon lairs had more than ten Nascent Soul-level powerhouses, including Nascent Soul Middle Stage and Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivators, which was more than enough to forge a Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo made entirely of Nascent Soul Meteorite.

It’s just a pity… at that time, to maintain the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord’s prestige, he only captured True Lord Shadow, a Soul Transformation Cultivator, and the rest were wasted.

Now with the third eye, he could openly capture them all at once.

“I’ll call you the Eye of Gui Xu.”

A smile played in Jiang Li’s eyes… Where there is laughter, there are tears.

While Jiang Li was happy about the evolution of the Refining Spirit Art, the Demonic Path True Disciples who had witnessed everything were all scared to tears.

How could this possibly be the strength a Golden Core Cultivator should possess?

As fellow backup Possession bodies, the gap was simply too vast.

While they were still respectfully proving their worth before the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord’s Divine Thought bodies, someone else had already attacked the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, imprisoned the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord’s Divine Thought bodies, and was terrifyingly ruthless.

“Escape, we must escape.”

Several Demonic Path True Disciples were terrified, completely lost their composure, and didn’t know what to do. They ran towards the exit like headless flies, completely forgetting that with the Formation in place, they couldn’t escape at all.

As the black-gold Sword Embryo sliced through, they all fell, and their ownerless remnants of Divine Sense were swallowed by the automatically unfurling Eye of Gui Xu.

Only Chu Tiankuang remained alive in the entire small valley.

“Spare me, I can fully cooperate with your actions in the Ten Thousand Demons Sect and guarantee not to reveal what happened here. You know, I am a backup Possession body, my life is not my own, but now I can control my own destiny, I can help you.”

After a few seconds of silence, this Holy Son Candidate chose to beg for mercy.

His tone was sincere.

Jiang Li glanced at him. The black mark on Chu Tiankuang’s head was even more dazzling than starlight in the Qi Refining Method’s Dharma Eye.

If he kept him by his side, the Qi Refining Method would be the first to explode.

Furthermore.

You won’t even give me the Soul Blood that controls your life, so how can I believe you? Do you really think I’m from the Righteous Path?

Jiang Li pouted.

You’re both backup Possession bodies, both Demonic Path people, what are you pretending for?

“I believe only dead men can keep secrets.”

Jiang Li’s tone was indifferent.

A golden-red beam of light, as brilliant as the scorching sun, shot out from his mouth, instantly igniting a blazing inferno.

“Sword Killing Force? Are you kidding me?”

Chu Tiankuang’s expression changed dramatically, no longer composed.

In his opinion, his strength was not inferior to Jiang Li’s.

He was confident he could withstand the opponent’s strongest Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo, and the method of capturing the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord’s Divine Thought body only worked if the opponent was in a Divine Sense state. Thus, Jiang Li’s strongest method was largely useless.

The remaining thunder techniques and sword Dao might far exceed Golden Core-level combat power, but he was also a Golden Core Peak Cultivator. With all his methods unleashed, he could definitely engage in a tug-of-war with a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator, with the outcome being fifty-fifty.

No matter how strong Jiang Li was, he could at most be on par with him.

Therefore, he had a chance of winning.

But… all these thoughts vanished the moment Jiang Li spat out Sword Killing Force.

Sword Killing Force was a true fifth-order power, a Soul Transformation-level combat strength. Not to mention Nascent Soul Middle Stage, even Nascent Soul Late Stage might not be able to withstand it.

“Wait, wait, I can hand over my Soul Blood. I can let you enslave me.”

Chu Tiankuang shouted.

He tapped his glabella, and a drop of viscous blood was handed over.

That was the unique Life Soul of Demonic Path Cultivators. Controlling the Soul Blood was equivalent to controlling the life of that Demonic Path Cultivator.

Jiang Li’s expression remained unchanged.

The Great Sun Sword Qi flew away.

It forged a liquid path in the Void Realm, as if carving a thermal melting line through the Void Realm itself.

“No!”

Chu Tiankuang’s eyes were bloodshot, and he roared unwillingly.

He unleashed all his methods, but whether it was the sky full of vengeful spirits, the soul-piercing black mist, or various Spirit Treasures, under the power of a wisp of Void-breaking force inherent in the Great Sun Sword Qi, they all vaporized, evaporated, and melted.

Then, Chu Tiankuang was completely engulfed by the Great Sun.

After the white mist dissipated, there was no trace of Chu Tiankuang on the ground, which was burned into a glazed state. Centered on this area, within a hundred-mile radius, even the Yin Fiend Mist was completely burned away, forming a safe zone like a paradise.

Jiang Li opened his mouth and retracted the Great Sun Sword Qi.

He couldn’t help but sigh: There was a time when he needed to rely on geographical advantages to defeat a Holy Son Candidate-level Mountain-Moving Divine Ape, but now… it was just a matter of one Great Sun Sword Qi.

Now, in terms of raw strength, he had already surpassed most of the Holy Son Candidates.

Unless these Holy Son Candidates collectively made a Breakthrough to Nascent Soul and gained strength close to the Soul Transformation level, they wouldn’t even have the power to parry under the Great Sun Sword Qi.

The position of Saint of Tianxuan Holy Land was his for sure. He said it, and even Jesus couldn’t stop him.

Amidst his muttering.

Jiang Li’s consciousness entered his Sea of Consciousness.

At this moment.

His Sea of Consciousness was already like a bustling market.

There were a total of over two hundred Ten Thousand Demons Sect Disciples killed in Fallen Demon Valley.

One hundred and forty Foundation Establishment, forty Golden Core True Disciples, ten Golden Core Elders, and three Nascent Soul Elders.

Of course.

The most significant were naturally the six wisps of Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord’s Divine Thought bodies.

These Demonic Sect members spontaneously gathered together, confronting Immortal Master Ziyan, Netherworld Senior, and Blood Fiend Senior.

Jiang Li’s mind sank in.

With absolute control, he cast this group of Demonic Sect members into the first, third, and fourth layers of the Nine-Layer Town Prison respectively, and the Sea of Consciousness immediately became quiet.

“Number 170, you betrayed your trust and disregarded our cultivation of you. You will suffer retribution.”

The six wisps of Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord’s Divine Sense roared in the Sea of Consciousness.

At the same time, they glared angrily at the seventh wisp of Divine Sense, which was the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord’s Divine Thought body on Jiang Li.

“And you, you actually betrayed the main body and taught him the Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo technique. When the main body returns, it will surely annihilate you.”

This wisp of Divine Thought body was amused by anger.

He had been tormented for half a year, and had never conspired with Number 170. He never expected to be regarded as an enemy by “himself” now, being called a traitor.

When someone calls you a traitor, it’s best if you actually are one.

Immediately.

This Divine Sense said to Jiang Li: “You want to find my other backup Possession bodies and use their Divine Sense to forge Sword Embryos, right? I can tell you the locations of all backup bodies. There’s only one condition: you can’t use me to forge a Sword Embryo. How about this deal?”
