I will become the Demon Immortal known to the whole world-Chapter 424 - 18: The Immortal-Slaying Gourd

"Kid, how did you figure it out?"

The dwarf, furious and irritated, bared his teeth and grimaced.

A streak of devastatingly vicious blade light burst forth from the gourd, successively breaking through the chains forged by the Myriad Spirits and Space Great Path, only to be stopped by the chains formed by the Pure Yang Great Path.

Liang Hui remained silent, generating chains after chains of Taoism Principle, extinguishing the blade light and wrapping the gourd like a rice dumpling.

"Kid, is this what you call mutual support?"

As the dwarf dodged the Great Path chains spreading towards the inside of the gourd, he shouted loudly.

"Senior, you have indeed suffered severe injuries."

Liang Hui’s gaze was deep. He had just used his Divine Skills to capture the vital energy and found that the gourd’s own vital energy was extremely damaged.

Moreover, despite its ancientness, it was not nearly as ancient as the vital energy of the Ferocious Beasts.

Two possibilities emerged, one being that the Artifact Spirit of the gourd was deceiving people, the other that it had suffered wounds so severe that the True Spirit of the gourd had long since dissipated, and the present dwarf had only just condensed.

After all, at the Great Luo Level, even an inanimate object surpasses ninety-nine percent of the world’s beings, and it is extremely difficult to be completely annihilated.

Amidst these thoughts, the Taoism Principle chains reaching towards the dwarf stopped.

Liang Hui’s voice slowly spread out.

"Can we have an honest conversation?"

"Hmph!"

The dwarf snorted coldly, halting the trump card he was about to reveal.

"Kid, what do you want to talk about?"

"And what news do you have that is worth exchanging with the old ancestor?"

"Senior, if you leave suddenly in such an injured state, you are likely to be taken by the Great Luo, enslaved or put to work."

"Heh! Following you means not being calculated by those Great Luo..."

"Eh!"

The dwarf looked at the young man in shock, his eyes filled with astonishment.

He was actually unable to see through the other’s trail, as if it was hidden by some existence.

"A being of exceptionally high essence has concealed you."

"It seems not to be Great Luo, yet possesses all the characteristics of Great Luo; however, it feels somewhat rigid, as if, as if..."

"As if it brought down a Great Luo, slaying it and exploiting its corpse to exhibit its powers."

Liang Hui’s eyes were dark and inscrutable as he slowly spoke.

At that moment, the dwarf seemed to have thought of something, staring at the young man in horror.

"To rise against the inborn Great Luo with a body of the Acquired Realms is seldom seen through the ages."

"What exactly is your relationship with that being?"

"That is not important, Senior should know that following me would allow you to heal more effectively."

The young man placed the gourd in front of him, his expression sincere.

He was willing to enter into a mutual benefit exchange with this tool to gain another card up his sleeve.

For a moment, the dwarf inside the gourd fell silent, sensing the young man’s genuine intentions.

Although it could break free using certain means, the cost was too great, and thereafter, it would still need to avoid being searched for and captured by the Great Luo.

But following the young man was different; such a powerful being stood behind him, capable of shielding it.

No matter how one looked at it, engaging in a benefit exchange with the young man was the best choice.

"Kid, loosen the restraints, and let’s have a proper talk."

Upon hearing this, Liang Hui did not hesitate.

The chains loosened, and he even spread open his palm, completely releasing the Red Gourd from constraint.

"You possess some courage."

The gourd circled in mid-air before stopping in front of Liang Hui.

"Junior, you may address me as the Immortal-Slaying Gourd."

"I have indeed suffered a heavy blow, with many memories incomplete, requiring a vast amount of resources to heal."

"I will find them for Senior."

Liang Hui withdrew the three Taoism Principles of Pure Yang, Space, and Myriad Spirits from within his body, as the vast and ancient vitality once again filled his surroundings.

Raising his palm, Precious Medicine and Strange Stones fell like a waterfall, pouring towards the Immortal-Slaying Gourd.

"These resources are for you to enjoy first, senior. Once we get out, I will definitely find more treasures to repair the gourd," he said.

The crystal-clear Red Gourd trembled lightly, and the massive resources instantly turned to dust before being swallowed up.

The little person inside the gourd smacked its lips.

"Not bad, kid. If you encounter danger, this old ancestor will also take action and slay your enemies for you," it commented.

The exchange between the man and the gourd was completed in just a few words.

The Immortal-Slaying Gourd then shuddered and hung at the waist of the young man, with the luster around the gourd gradually dimming, turning ordinary.

Only then did Liang Hui truly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

Every step just now was like walking on a tightrope; a slight mishap could have sparked a bloody battle.

You wouldn’t really think that an artifact associated with Great Luo could be sealed so easily, would you? He was only seeking time to converse.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

Taking such a huge risk brought an extremely rich harvest. He now had a real trump card.

With his thoughts halted, Liang Hui turned around and returned to the Stone Hall once again, conducting another search to ensure nothing was missed before leaving.

He locked onto the aura of the Three Seas Dragon Monarch and pursued at high speed.

Above the Vast Heavens, Liang Hui turned into a streak of Flowing Light, closing in on his target.

At the same time, his mind was continuously communicating with the Immortal-Slaying Gourd at his waist.

’Senior, do you know who the Martial Ancestor is? And who is Taiqing?’ he asked.

’I don’t remember, only a vague impression remains. It seems I followed them in a distant past,’ replied the little person, looking lost and trying hard to remember, yet only coming up with two names.

’Is that so?’

Liang Hui nodded in agreement, assuming that the Immortal-Slaying Gourd had been too severely damaged, losing relevant memories.

The young man further inquired about some experiences of breaking through to the Great Luo level, and the little person answered all questions without hiding anything.

Time unknowingly passed, and four Hours had gone by.

Liang Hui was now able to lock onto the position of the three Dragon Monarchs without relying on Divine Skills.

At this moment, with a thought, he asked again:

"Senior, do you know Tai Yi?" he questioned.

"Tai Yi? Which Tai Yi?" the little person responded.

"The innate sacred being born at the dawn of heaven and earth from the Taiyi Epoch, the East Emperor Taiyi," he elaborated. (Taiyi, Primordial, Tai Shi, Taixu, Taiji)

"Or, is it the one who rose from the humblest dust in the Primordial Era and occupied the Taiyi Great Path, @#$%?"

"*7*8!"

"That being who has concealed its true name... that shouldn’t be. With such a mighty strength, it definitely couldn’t cross over the Era’s path of destruction. How could it affect this Era?" the little person exclaimed in astonishment, its face shocked. After several attempts, it still couldn’t reveal the true name of that existence.

Liang Hui remained silent the whole time, observing the little figure’s actions and speculating in his heart.

’The existence at the end of the Taiyi Great Path should be him.’

As they got closer to the three Dragon Monarchs, the young man reined in his thoughts.

Giant peaks stretched from earth to sky, Ancient Wood flourished, and Ferocious Beasts roared across the land.

Liang Hui stopped in his tracks, standing in the sky, looking down upon four figures atop Great Yue.

His gaze swept over the South, North, and East Dragon Monarchs, finally resting on the figure of the mermaid.

"Didn’t die completely?" he said coldly.

"Today, I will kill you once more."

The chilling and fierce voice echoed between heaven and earth.

It overpowered the roar of Ferocious Beasts and the rustling of wind through falling leaves.

Without waiting for the mermaid’s response, a middle-aged man in silver armor, engraved with intricate dragon patterns, stepped forward with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Mixed Dragon, so it was you tracking us. Truly ignorant of life and death. Today is a good day to send you to your demise," he declared.
