Chapter 257 Battle Against Demonic Cultivators
There have always been many demonic cultivators. Of course, the most numerous are those who follow the path of human-demon hybrids. They can be seen as alternative immortal cultivators. Generally, they don't have much conflict with immortal cultivators and can coexist with them. However, there are two other types of demons who are the enemies of the entire immortal path and are the ones that the immortal path truly opposes.
The first one is the Heavenly Demon. The Heavenly Demon's origin is also very high. In the beginning of the ancient times, before the saints had attained enlightenment, the Dao Ancestor, who was high and mighty, was just a cultivator on the path to enlightenment. At that time, there was another powerful being who could compete with the Dao Ancestor for the throne of the first saint, and that was the Demon Clan.
The current dominance of the Immortal Path is a testament to this. In the end, the Dao Ancestor triumphed, the Demon Ancestor failed and died, and his demon race was wiped out. At the final moment, the Demon Ancestor sacrificed his own Dao Fruit to create the Heavenly Demon Realm, making the Heavenly Demons a tribulation in the process of cultivators' advancement, thus perfecting the Heavenly Dao and leaving a glimmer of hope for his demon race. From then on, this lineage of demons was also called the Heavenly Demons. The inner demon entering the body, the tribulation of the inner demon, during a cultivator's cultivation is actually the invasion of the Heavenly Demons.
The second most hated group is the Earth Demon, whose lineage also has a very significant origin.
In the ancient times of the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race, there was a race on the earth called the Witch Race. They had powerful bodies and were the masters of the earth. After the war between the Witch and the Demon, the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race was destroyed, and all the powerful Witch Race members died. Fortunately, their powerful Witch Race member, Houtu Niangniang, opened up the cycle of reincarnation, leaving them a place to breathe. In the underworld, they absorbed the ghostly energy and the earthly evil energy, and slowly, they became a new race called the Earth Demon lineage.
Their harm is no less than that of the Heavenly Demons. Once they appear in the mortal realm, they will quickly pollute the surrounding spiritual energy and land, making the land lifeless and turning the spiritual energy into death energy. Therefore, cultivators always kill Earth Demons on sight.
It's worth mentioning that the demon race, also a protagonist in the Lich War, still retains a significant fighting force. This is because many of their top warriors are still alive. The revered Nuwa is none other than the demon race's Empress, and the Buddhist Buddha, the Great Sun Tathagata, is the demon race's crown prince. With these powerful beings still around, they naturally cannot exert too much pressure on the demon race; otherwise, they would certainly intervene.
Returning to the current situation, this Lady Black Jade actually has a certain reputation in the Azure Cloud Realm, but it's not a good one. She has committed many evil deeds. However, she is a rogue cultivator with no power, and her whereabouts are unpredictable, so it is still very difficult to find her. In addition, she is careful in her actions, so she has really been living a carefree life until now.
She looked at the two demons in front of her with greed in her eyes: "My luck is really too good today. This is a dragon! Not to mention your wealth, your whole body is full of treasures. If I slowly eat you, will my physical strength also increase a lot?"
What she said was all true. Dragons are treasures from head to toe. Even the lowest-ranking flood dragon, if a cultivator eats it, his physical body will be comparable to that of a body cultivator of the same level. If a body cultivator eats it, the growth will be even more rapid.
Taking advantage of this time, Gu Yuchuan recovered a little bit of his magic power. He immediately summoned his flying boat and flew in with the Xuan Turtle Demon General. His attitude immediately became extremely arrogant.
"You wretch, your cultivation is nothing special, yet you speak so arrogantly. You don't really think you can take me by the nose, do you? Your strength is not much different from that guard captain I just killed. Get ready to die."
Lady Black Jade wasn't afraid at all. In such a short time, even if she took some pills, how much magic power could she recover? It was just a desperate resistance. To think she could live was simply wishful thinking.
However, Gu Yuchuan felt much more at ease after entering the flying boat. At least now he could buy himself time to recover his mana. Besides, this flying boat had strong defensive and offensive capabilities, and although it only cost a little spirit stone, he could afford it.
He directly added 20,000 spirit stones to the core of the flying boat, a gesture that made the Xuan Turtle Demon General's eyes widen in astonishment.
"Brother, don't worry. We've already entered the airship. At the very least, we can save our lives, and we might even be able to kill her. Just watch, brother. Today, we will definitely kill this bitch."
Seeing that Gu Yuchuan ignored her and even made arrogant remarks, he clearly didn't take her seriously.
She shouted loudly, flicked her long whip, and a cold wind blew, as if countless ghosts were howling and wailing. A fierce ghost dressed in red could be vaguely seen in the wind.
Gu Yuchuan directly controlled the cannon to fire a shot. This was the first time he had used this cannon, and he himself was not sure of its exact power. However, the cannon's power was greater than they had imagined. The cannon hit the red-clothed female ghost and shattered her. The divine light on her whip also dissipated completely, showing that she had suffered considerable damage. Now, Madam Black Jade was in a bit of pain.
This whip is also a low-grade magic weapon. It is usually invincible in her hands, but it is so powerful today. Her expression changed: "What a dragon, what a flying boat. You are indeed powerful, but this flying boat is just an external object. Let's see how many spirit stones you have to activate it."
Her thinking was sound: the more powerful the external object, the greater the demand for spirit stones, and this cannon was a perfect example.
Gu Yuchuan took out another 50,000 spirit stones, which was all he had. He handed them to the Xuan Turtle Demon General: "Brother, use these to buy time. It would be best if you could achieve some results. If not, at least buy me a few hours so I can go in and recover my mana and injuries. This demon can't beat me. Once I recover my mana, killing her will be very easy."
The Xuan Turtle Demon General nodded heavily. Although this matter put a lot of pressure on him, he had no choice but to step up and take on this responsibility.
His gaze turned serious, and his expression became much more earnest: "Alright, don't worry, I will definitely buy you enough time. You just need to focus on recovering your magic power. Don't worry about me. Remember, be careful and don't let the Heavenly Demons take advantage of any openings. The more anxious you are, the more likely problems will arise during meditation."
Gu Yuchuan almost didn't realize the problem. He nodded and returned to his room. He lit a calming incense stick to stabilize his emotions. After taking a pill, he began to meditate to recover his magical power. The spiritual energy here was very abundant, and it wouldn't take him long to recover his magical power.
