Chapter 690 Immortal Extermination Order
Months later, the entire Demon Realm was in an uproar over a piece of news from the City of Extreme Heaven.
The newly appointed Six Extremes Ancestor, one of the three great progenitors, personally issued the "Destruction Order for Immortal Annihilation." The target of the Destruction Order was merely a mid-stage Integration Realm cultivator from the human race of the Spirit Realm, but the enormous rewards involved were enough to tempt even some Demon Ancestors.
In addition, after obtaining details about the appearance of this human cultivator named Lu Yuan and the fact that he had several avatars, some astute individuals immediately connected it to some events that had occurred in the Demon Realm in recent years.
For example, the immortal successor who caused the Holy Ancestor of the Underworld to lose face more than a hundred years ago was quickly identified as the same person after the two were verified.
Next, because Lu Yuan had used the Stone Lun Totem and Qingluan's "One Breath Ten Thousand Miles", the Stone Demon Clan and the Azure Wing Clan had to come forward and declare that their clans had also been harmed by this human cultivator, and that they would send elders to participate in the encirclement and killing of this thief.
Not long after, news also came from the Land of Beginning Seal, which had always been indifferent to outside affairs. The reason was not stated, but the attitude was extremely ruthless: the enemy must be annihilated!
It was precisely because of the intervention of the Land of Origin that some Holy Ancestors sent out their avatars, along with some Demon Lords in the Integration Stage, stirring up most of the Demon Realm.
However, even with such a large-scale operation, Lu Yuan seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace no matter how the Demon Realm searched.
Rumors circulated that he had secluded himself in a hidden place to cultivate in seclusion, while others speculated that he had concealed his presence using some mysterious magical artifact. Some even suspected that he had broken through the barrier and returned to the spirit realm.
This conjecture was not unfounded, because just six months later, a Holy Ancestor noticed that someone had used the Boundary-Breaking Pearl to leave the Demon Realm in the area that merged with the Spirit Realm.
As time went on, many of the original Holy Ancestors gradually lost patience and stopped taking the matter to heart.
Despite the hefty bounty offered by the 'Destroy Immortal Order,' some demons remained unwilling to give up. They secretly joined forces, attempting to find any clues about Lu Yuan.
“That area corresponds to the territory of the Shadow Clan in the Spirit Realm. According to the message from the Devouring Heaven Saint Ancestor who infiltrated the Spirit Realm earlier, the human race and the Shadow Clan and other races in the Spirit Realm are still fighting and fighting among themselves. How could a human cultivator possibly know the secret of their spatial node?”
“Indeed, the weak points of the interface are forbidden areas for all races. They are usually heavily guarded and have many restrictions. If that human cultivator really goes into the Shadow Clan's territory, he will undoubtedly be courting death.”
“Although my ‘Ghost Curse’ can’t sense him now, the corresponding ‘Ghost Pearl’ has not lost its effect, so he is most likely still in the Holy Realm, just hiding.” The Venerable who planted the ‘Ghost Curse’ on Lu Yuan spoke slowly, a hint of certainty flashing in his eyes.
“Fellow Daoist Youkui’s ‘Soul Curse’ is one of the most powerful tracking techniques in our Holy Realm. Without the cultivation of Mahayana, one cannot even realize that one has been affected by this technique.”
We'll follow Fellow Daoist Youkui and search around the main cities where that human cultivator used to appear. It might take a bit more time, but we'll eventually sense his location."
"Makes sense."
After some discussion, You Kui and several other ancient demon lords with considerable cultivation concluded that Lu Yuan must still be hiding in the demon realm.
Finally, four years later.
Near a mountain range more than 100,000 miles from the Demon Realm's Sunrise City, Youkui and his companions, who had never given up their search, sensed the connection of the 'Ghost Curse'.
Fearing Lu Yuan's infamous reputation for annihilating many Venerables, You Kui and the others dared not act rashly. Instead, they secretly laid a trap and contacted several Demon Venerables from Rising Sun City for support, preparing to capture Lu Yuan in one fell swoop.
The reason they didn't inform the Holy Ancestors was naturally because of the tempting, enormous reward.
After all, even if they captured Lu Yuan, given the appetites of those Holy Ancestors, they would need to take at least a large portion of the bounty to satisfy them.
But just a few months later, a piece of news once again shocked the ancient demon realm.
The human cultivator from another world who disappeared several years ago is still staying in the Demon Realm and is surrounded by more than ten Demon Lords in Sunrise City.
But the result was even more unbelievable. With the support of his several avatars, this human cultivator from another world actually killed several demon lords and escaped again.
Upon learning this news, the Holy Ancestors who had previously given up turned their attention back to this matter and once again dispatched their powerful subordinates.
Under Youkui's guidance, and relying on the 'Ghost Curse', they continued to catch up with Lu Yuan's escape route.
Fortunately, after several years of recuperation, the two incarnations, the Mountain Giant and the Azure Phoenix, have recovered their strength.
The combination of 'Traveling Thousands of Miles in a Breath' and 'Stone Lun Teleportation' allowed Lu Yuan to repeatedly escape pursuit.
However, the demonic forces have laid down heavy encirclements within a million miles centered on Sunrise City, which is also compressing Lu Yuan's living space.
Each time he escaped, the time it took for his opponent to catch up with him decreased.
Lu Yuan knew that if things continued like this, even with his extraordinary abilities, he would eventually run out of energy.
He had to find a way to break out of the encirclement and escape the pursuit of these demons.
......
Yanhui City is one of the garrison cities of the main city of Rising Sun. Although it is not as large as Rising Sun City, it is still bustling and prosperous, thanks to being the largest demon town within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles.
Moreover, news of the appearance of human cultivators from other worlds in the territory of Sunrise City had already spread throughout the Demon Realm. Therefore, in addition to the various Holy Ancestors sending high-level Demon Lords and their avatars to come, countless low- and mid-level demons also flocked there with various motives.
At this time, not only the main city of Rising Sun, but also the several garrison cities under its jurisdiction, and even those remote small towns, were already overrun with demons.
These low- to mid-level demons, hampered by their cultivation levels, naturally couldn't keep up with the speed of those Holy Ancestor incarnations. Furthermore, given their cultivation levels, even if they happened to encounter that human cultivator, they would only be throwing their lives away.
But the key point is that in the two years since Lu Yuan was discovered in Sunrise City, no fewer than ten Demon Lords have been killed in the pursuit.
Rumor has it that some lucky guys stumbled upon the magical artifacts or storage bracelets of the fallen demon lords, and from then on, they soared to great heights.
So these demons gathered in the town, frequently exchanging information, hoping to get the latest news as soon as possible so they could get to the scene of the incident as quickly as possible and see if they could seize any opportunities.
Baiqifang was originally a two-story shop in Yanhui City that specialized in selling low- to mid-level magical artifacts.
However, due to the large number of demons remaining in the city, quite a few demons gathered in the market every day to discuss the news, so they had to temporarily switch to selling spirit tea, since no one would be paying attention to the demonic artifacts in the market at this time.
