Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1233 - 744: Who is with you?

The Dragon Lizard Demon Lord glanced sideways at the hand resting on its shoulder.

Finally, it extinguished the last thought of escape.

Its expression darkened, and it slowly turned, clasping its hands together respectfully towards the person: "This little demon greets Golden Toad Venerable."

"No need for such formalities."

The young monk held a gentle smile, and behind him, the few venerables who had once escorted the Great Demon to the Seven Saint Marsh—Wuxiang, Tianluo, and Seven Treasures Bodhisattva—stood peacefully.

According to the teachings passed down, as Bodhisattvas, they should avoid getting too close to demons, only push things forward from behind to avoid providing Three Immortals Sect any tangible evidence. When both sides competed for incense offerings, those Qi Refiners would use such things to make trouble in the mortal world.

But looking across the Four Great Divine Continents, none other faced the bizarre situation of the Great Nan Continent.

Clearly, a demon army far stronger than the Imperial Court’s garrison had been arranged, yet until now, it hadn’t breached even a single mansion.

Seven Treasures Bodhisattva had initially planned to return to Southern Sumeru to consult Great Freedom Pure World Bodhisattva.

But Golden Toad Bodhisattva had suddenly stepped forward.

It was his first mission after advancing to Third Grade; he couldn’t permit such a significant failure.

Thus, using his status as a disciple chosen by Future Buddha, he forcefully took control of the narrative, leading a group of Bodhisattvas to stake out outside the Divine Dynasty.

What surprised everyone was that the Southern Emperor, probably wary of the Bodhi Sect, deliberately concealed his whereabouts; yet perhaps due to Golden Toad’s true Buddha heart and great fortune, he indeed found the Dragon Lizard Demon Lord.

Witnessing the Demon Lord’s panicked escape, it was clear... even if the Southern Emperor personally led the troops, he still couldn’t tear open a breach in the Southern Continent.

"Venerable, please stop scaring this little demon. I did indeed err in fleeing mid-battle. How you wish to deal with this little demon, you may clarify."

Surrounded by such a group of Bodhisattvas, the Dragon Lizard Demon Lord completely let go of its dignity as a fellow Third Grade expert, visibly prepared to surrender.

It exhaled heavily: "But truth be told, your sect has indeed left us no way to survive."

Perhaps due to its proximity to wisdom, the Dragon Lizard Demon Lord had learned a few things following the Southern Emperor, its mind becoming much clearer.

The group of Great Demons, intended for post-victory sacrificial offerings, had all perished after escaping from the True God’s grasp, leaving only it and the Southern Emperor. At this stage, does breaching the continent hold any meaning?

Even if the Southern Continent was truly breached, instead of sipping soup and eating meat, they would likely be the first to be settled by the Great Sect.

Hence, the moment the Southern Emperor stepped into the government office, the Dragon Lizard Demon Lord decisively fled from the Glazed Prefecture, intent on returning to the Barbaric Lands, never to concern itself with the Shen Zhou again.

"How is the Southern Emperor faring over there?"

Golden Toad Bodhisattva gently fiddled with the bead string.

"I don’t know."

The Dragon Lizard Demon Lord turned its head to the side, resigned to its fate, knowing returning to Shen Zhou was impossible. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Seeing this, Golden Toad Bodhisattva’s smile turned colder, yet he said no more, instead leisurely raising his palm and clasping onto the scaled face of the Dragon Lizard, forcibly turning its head back.

"I have said, you can breach the Southern Continent."

"..."

No matter how weak, the Dragon Lizard Demon Lord was still at the Six-Six Transformation Realm; a slight exertion of demonic power could easily shake off this young monk before it.

But as their gazes met, seeing the monk’s somewhat sinister eyes, an inexplicable chill ran down its spine.

"Regardless of the Southern Emperor, the Great Demons the venerables brought last time have all silently perished in the Great Nan Continent. With only this little demon alone... really... really..."

"Rest assured, after today, you shall be the most renowned demon in the Southern Continent."

Golden Toad Bodhisattva interrupted its words with a cheerful smile, his wide sleeves swaying, gathering Buddha Light that formed a tight golden ring around the Demon Lord’s neck, which then embedded itself within its body.

"You!"

The Dragon Lizard Demon Lord finally sensed something amiss, attempting to break free from the monk’s grasp, but its eyes immediately turned blood-red.

Its arms involuntarily expanded, soon its entire body swelled, tearing through its armor, transforming into a gargantuan form thousands of feet tall before everyone’s eyes.

These beings had their lifespans counted in aeons; how could the Dragon Lizard not understand the monk’s intention?

This monk... wants to use this demon as a cover to personally breach the Southern Continent!

However, with the golden ring embedded, the Dragon Lizard Demon Lord felt its throat constricting to the brink of rupture, unable to utter a complete sentence. Enraged, it stomped, saliva flying, ultimately only able to emit a hoarse roar: "Roar!"

"Tsk."

Golden Toad Bodhisattva stood calmly beneath the frantic creature, nodding in satisfaction.

"..."

Seven Treasures Bodhisattva and the other venerables observed the scene, each slightly raising their brows.

The golden ring was obviously a treasure bestowed by the Future Buddha, intended to subdue demons, yet it was being used by Golden Toad in this manner.

"Great Freedom Bodhisattva did not instruct us to act personally."

"Should we return and consult?"

Hearing their hesitations, Golden Toad suddenly turned around, his gaze growing sharp.

He swept his gaze across them: "Consult?"

Before finishing his sentence, Golden Toad Bodhisattva had already let out a snicker, his gaze landing on Seven Treasures Bodhisattva: "Are you suggesting that after following the sect’s instructions to breach the Southern Continent, you got your Buddha Light stripped during your teachings at He Mountain, resulting in no progress to this day?"

Facing a senior superior in both experience and realm, his speech was filled with mockery, devoid of respect: "If left to you, afraid the incense offerings of the other three continents would be split, while the Great Nan Continent remains peaceful and prosperous, a scene of unbroken prosperity."
