Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1288 - 768: You Must Die Here Today

The thunderous roar resounded, but it wasn’t thunder; it was the increasingly heavy breathing of the White Deer.

The almost playful actions of the two made the scars on its face twitch more violently.

"Is this amusing to you?"

The White Deer noticed the Southern Emperor trying to quietly leave the place, but it did not look back. Instead, it stared fixedly at the young man ahead, a cruel smile curving up its lips, cruelty embedded deeply within.

"How about a bet?"

"Let’s bet on whether I can kill you and then catch up to it before it finds the next demon."

As the words fell, the yellow-robed figure vanished from the spot.

In an instant, Shen Yi’s pupils reflected a hideous face coming at him. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

The White Deer, carrying an overwhelming amount of demonic power, surged forth like a tidal wave, slamming into him and sweeping his thin figure into the massive rift in the heavens and earth.

As a great demon of the North Continent, it knew exactly what these gray mists were and was not afraid at all.

The crimson demonic power rampaged out, easily dispersing the gray mist, like sharp ghost claws tearing through the deceitful fog.

"You seem to know the rules of the North Continent quite well."

The White Deer advanced step by step, its hands tightly holding Shen Yi’s arms, pushing him toward the endless void. At the same time, it stared into the young man’s eyes, its voice full of mockery:

"Unfortunately, you don’t qualify to enjoy these rules."

The disciples of the Three Immortals Sect restrain each other not out of some sense of justice, but because of the Golden Immortals who stand behind them.

These beings who transcend the two realms are the reason the rules can exist.

But behind him, there was only the boundless Taixu.

So, when other cultivators failed to compete for the Dao grounds, they could return safely as long as they admitted defeat. But not this True Monarch of Taixu.

"Today, you must die here."

The White Deer felt the enormous rift behind it completely close. Finally, it revealed its true nature as a great demon, putting away its smile and gripping tightly with its fingers, wrapping potent demonic energy around Shen Yi’s body, cutting off his chance to merge into the gray mist.

The next moment, it exerted force abruptly with its arms!

But the sound of the Tao Body being torn did not echo through the Taixu Realm.

The White Deer’s action of violently pushing the young man also came to an immediate halt.

Shen Yi’s pristine boots stepped onto the endless gray mist, and his thin figure stood firmly in place.

"..."

The White Deer looked down at the young man, feeling the power coming from his grips that matched its own, slightly stunned.

Then, it slowly lifted its head and looked behind the young man.

In the originally empty Taixu, at some unknown point in time, an enormous Dharma Body appeared, a giant figure sitting cross-legged. The surging gray mist turned into thick clouds in the sky curtain, and this golden figure hung high outside the heavens.

The dense black clouds turned into a kasaya, covering the golden light on its body, making it appear like an evil Buddha.

Four massive arms came together, holding stern magic artifacts in their palms, while a gigantic dark-golden wheel gradually rose behind it, forming a prison-like world of unwavering confinement.

In the moment this eerie golden body appeared, the White Deer noticed Shen Yi’s aura rising rapidly, from the minimal Six-Six Transformation Realm to the peak, matching its own aura in no time.

Only then did it finally realize that these two were not teasing it, nor trying to anger it with the Taixu Realm in vain hopes of trapping it.

This young man truly possessed the strength to hold a One Mansion!

But such strength could not see the light of day.

"You have so many secrets."

The White Deer never expected that what was supposed to be a simple reclaiming of the Dao grounds would lead it to the root cause of the recent chaos in the North Continent by a stroke of luck.

The monks of the Bodhi Sect had grown so bold, working both openly and covertly. They sowed chaos outside, while secretly infiltrating the Three Immortals Sect.

If it could take this information back to You Yao... No, if it could capture this beast alive and present it to Qing Guang Grand Immortal, not only would its brother’s future be assured, but it might also gain the qualification to wash away its demonic name and join the ranks of the immortals!

"I misspoke earlier."

"You might not need to die today."

Suddenly, the White Deer let out a trembling laugh, showing extreme excitement.

In an instant, it released Shen Yi’s arms, its figure soaring upwards like a mountain rising from the ground, becoming as tall as the golden dharma body in the blink of an eye.

This was no ordinary demon revealing its true form.

Shen Yi had only seen one other demon as large as a Bodhisattva Dharma Aspect—the Southern Emperor, who transformed from a flesh mound. All other demons, even dragon-like Jiaos, were like loaches in front of a Dharma Aspect; how could the White Deer’s true form be so immense?

Moreover, the White Deer, which had been fiendishly furious just moments ago, maintained a humanoid form even after growing so large, exuding mystical immortal energy. At this size, even the scars on its face seemed less menacing.

Clearly, although the Three Immortals Sect and the Bodhi Sect were allies in name for ages, secretly, the two had long been wary of each other. The technique that allowed a great demon to grow to the size of the heavens was likely meant as a countermeasure for the Bodhisattvas.

"Though not in name an Immortal Disciple, thanks to my brother, I have long held the reality of one."

The entire realm trembled violently as the White Deer strode forward, moving faster and faster like a giant chasing the sun. Even the Taixu Realm could not hinder it.

Thump! Thump! Thump!
