The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 716: Chapter 358 Demonfall City
 

Previously, when he escorted Master Golden Sword and his companion, it took Lin Yi nearly two years to arrive at Demon Slaying Spirit City. Now, traveling alone, he was free to use some methods at will. Considering the distance between Main City of Demon Purging and that Spirit City within the Demon Clan region, he estimated it would take only a few months to reach it.

After all, Hua Tuo’s current clone only possessed strength approaching the Body Fusion Realm, while his true self, with the three types of Aura of Creation, could exert the formidable strength of the late stages of the Body Fusion Realm, an entire Great Realm higher. And that didn’t even include the miraculous effects of the three types of Aura of Creation.

During his journey, Lin Yi would periodically use the Minor Blessing State to verify Xu Yu Rou’s direction and status.

Basically, the direction remained unchanged, and he was almost certain that Xu Yu Rou was within the Spirit City that had been seized. Otherwise, in other places within the Demon Clan Territory, she would surely be pursued relentlessly.

According to the information he had obtained, this Spirit City was precisely the Ascension Site from the Lower Realm where he had Predicted Crisis during his ascension.

Back then, Xu Fenghai clad in black armor, along with those Void Refinement Golden Guards around him, had left a deep impression. Facing those individuals in the Transition realm of Huashen to Void Refinement was a guaranteed deadly outcome.

Now, things were much different. Although only over six hundred years had passed since his ascension, he had obtained three types of Aura of Creation. Even below the Refining Void Realm, he could exercise the strength of the late stages of Fusion, and coupled with the title that grants extra damage, he could now fight Xu Fenghai on equal footing.

Without the title that grants extra damage, it would be impossible to stand against Xu Fenghai; after all, ascending a Realm is not just about gaining strength, but also about mastering some profound and unpredictable powers.

Each Realm has a completely different mastery over the Primal Energy of Heaven and Earth, which also means that the same spell, in the hands of someone from a higher realm, will have more miraculous effects.

He may be able to exhibit the strength of the late stages of Body Fusion, but the profound mysteries of the Body Fusion Realm are still beyond his reach.

During the years his Overlord Clone spent arriving at Demon Slaying Spirit City, Xu Fenghai also led teams several times into the Demon Clan Territory. Officially, he claimed he was patrolling within the Demon Clan region, rescuing cultivators, and at the same time, trying to uncover the secrets of the Dark Abyss.

Although this move aroused some suspicion among cultivators, it did not receive much attention.

Perhaps Xu Fenghai had his own selfish reasons for entering the Demon Clan region, but having a cultivator at the Fusion Realm guarding Demon Slaying Spirit City was already a fortunate situation, so naturally, no one wanted to meddle excessively.

The Overlord Clone had previously attempted to join them, expressing a desire to lend a helping hand, but Xu Fenghai rejected him without hesitation.

As for Xu Fenghai and the others, Lin Yi no longer wanted to get involved. His primary concern remained to improve his cultivation levels to Fusion as soon as possible. If it weren’t for the accurate information about the Ascenders within the Demon Tribe, he wouldn’t have wasted time on a rescue mission.

The connection between him and the Overlord Clone should be able to span the distance from the Main City of Demon Purging to the seized Spirit City. Should Xu Fenghai lead a team out, the Overlord Clone would use Primordial Spirit Communication to convey the information to him.

If Xu Fenghai did indeed leave the city, upon receiving the information, Lin Yi would avoid meeting him within the Spirit City. After all, his current strength was only close to reaching the Body Fusion Realm, far from being a match for Xu Fenghai and his group.

Along the way, he encountered quite a few wandering members of the Demon Tribe, generally around the Transition realm of Huashen to Void Refinement, whom he could easily vanquish to amass a large number of Virtue Points.

However, he resisted the temptation and chose not to act. Killing too many demons could lead to unforeseen consequences, and his mission was to rescue Xu Yu Rou; he couldn’t afford to trigger any incidents.

After two to three months, Lin Yi was getting closer to the besieged Spirit City. In that time, he also encountered several cultivators whose presence had been detected by demons and who were being persistently hunted.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He did not stand by idly but instead offered assistance and, without waiting for their gratitude, he promptly left.

Of course, before rescuing them, he would use the Eye of Emptiness to check these endangered cultivators’ aura of right and wrong. If someone was thoroughly evil, he would bypass them without rendering any aid.

As the saying goes, good people receive good outcomes, and when bad people face peril, it is their retribution.

More than three months later, Lin Yi could see the outline of the Spirit City. Without the protection of formations, it appeared extremely dilapidated. Earlier, he had changed his appearance, and through the Eye of Emptiness, he successfully observed the tether of fate connecting Xu Yu Rou.

Even after five to six hundred years, and himself having feigned death, the tether of fate with Xu Yu Rou was still pink, causing him some emotion. This girl truly couldn’t forget him.

As he slowly approached the city, he sensed through the Eye of Emptiness that there were at least more than ten Fusion Realm demons inside the city.

No wonder the Tai Xuan Dao Palace had marked it as extremely dangerous. Just these Fusion Realm demons attacking together would be difficult for his true self to suppress.

Around this Spirit City, there was also a mountainous barrier. Before its fall, the demons needed to take a long detour to reach both Demon Slaying Spirit City and Main City of Demon Purging.

Now that the Spirit City had fallen, the demons could march straight through it.

If Main City of Demon Purging were to fall in the same way, there would be very few natural defenses left behind, and at that point, the plight of the Human Race would become extremely severe.
