Killing God - Chapter 124

Chapter 124 Decisive Battle
In the blink of an eye, three years had passed since Shen Shi arrived at the Demon Realm.

In three years, he had grown from a sixteen-year-old youth to a nineteen-year-old youth, Right now, his body had grown completely. At least from the looks of it, he was already a strong adult male. He was even taller than ordinary people. It was unknown if it was because there were no spirit crystals in the Demon Realm that he was forced to eat the food that was mainly devoured by demonic beasts all day long.

Similarly, it was also because there were no spirit crystals. Even though he had paid attention to them for the past three years and tried his best to search for them, at least in this Black hell Mountain Realm, he did not find any spirit crystals. Without spirit crystals, there would be no cultivation.

Right now, Shen Shi’s cultivation was still stagnant. In the past, he was once considered a talented newbie among the outer disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect on Bluefish Island. After three years, he was still stagnant at the high-level Qi Refining Realm. There was no sign of him breaking through.

At the beginning, Shen Shi had thought of all sorts of ways to find out if there was any possibility of returning to the human race. Even in his heart, he knew how hopeless this hope was. The human and demon races had been separated by tens of thousands of years. Has he ever heard of a way to cross the border? And the result was indeed the same.

Gradually, Shen Shi accepted this reality with disappointment. As a human, he seemed to have no choice but to pretend to be a Demon race Ghost Wizard and live in the Demon Realm for a long time. There was still a strong nostalgia for the human homeland in his heart, but people had to live.

Therefore, Shen Shi gradually began to accept the reality of living in Demon race. However, when he was occasionally idle, he would still accidentally recall those past events, recall his missing father, recall the days when he cultivated under Lingxiao Sect, and recall the friends he had met during this period.

What kind of situation would they be in after these three years? How many people would have surpassed him, broken through the Qi Refining Realm to the Yuan Condensing Realm, and truly stepped onto the threshold of the Grand Dao of Immortal Cultivation?

Without the Spirit Crystal, Shen Shi was helpless against this human’s ten thousand years of cultivation of the Iron Laws. Helplessly, he could only repeatedly cultivate the Five Elements Spells in his possession, including the few magic spells he had obtained after coming to the Demon Realm.

Sometimes, he would think with self-mockery in his heart. Perhaps, for thousands of years, no human cultivator had been forced to abandon the cultivation of the Dao Cultivation Realm and instead wholeheartedly cultivate such an inconspicuous path as the Five Elements Technique.

For three years, he could only concentrate wholeheartedly on the cultivation of magic techniques, There were still some gains, Back then, because he had cultivated the Heart Cleansing Curse, there was an additional place where spiritual energy gathered in the acupoint of Mei Xin Qiao. This allowed him to cultivate the Five Elements Technique unexpectedly quickly. After these three years of continuous training, although the technique was still the same, Shen Shi had made great progress in terms of casting speed and control over the power of the technique.

The current him, Even if he didn’t need talismans, it would only take him about two breaths to activate his spiritual energy to cast a Five Elements Spell. This was even faster than most Origin Condensation Realm cultivators. If he were to use talismans or magical symbols, his casting speed would be astonishingly fast, and could even be shortened to less than one breath.

However, even so, the power of these spells he knew did not change much. This was also the most regrettable thing for Shen Shi.

Apart from the first six First Grade Five Elemental Spells, Shen Shi had already mastered the four magic spells that followed, namely, Void Spirit Spells, Skin Eclipse Spells, Blood Poison Spells, and Decay Spells, and was able to use them proficiently. Even the last Ghost Summoning Spell recorded on the beast hide had been secretly cultivated by Shen Shi when he was truly bored. In Shen Shi’s own words, that was the current him. He already looked like a true ghost adept.

Once he made a move, no one could tell that he was a fake.

In order to survive in the Heavenly Azure Snake Demon Clan, Shen Shi even deliberately found a black cloth robe to wear after a period of time. He looked much gloomier. He was quite similar to the ghost witch he encountered in the Spirit Cat Tribe back then, and it also caused the surrounding Demon race to become even more distant from him.

At the same time, while he, an inconspicuous little figure, was blankly drifting along with fate, the fate of many Demon race tribes in the southern foothills of Black hell Mountain in the Demon Realm had also undergone tremendous changes in the past three years.

The strength and prosperity of the Heavenly Azure Snake Demon Tribe, It was already becoming more and more obvious and unstoppable, Although Empress Yu Lin had been forcefully suppressing her subordinates from crossing the Blackwater River, the Heavenly Azure Snake Demon’s demon army had already swept through everything on the south bank of the Blackwater River. In the past three years, it had almost completely subdued all the unruly tribes. Now, the south of the Blackwater River was already filled with the territory of the Snake Demon.

After three years of recuperation, the strength of the Heavenly Azure Snake Demon Tribe had become even stronger. Everyone’s gaze had already been fixed on the Black Water River. Everyone knew that the next target of the Heavenly Azure Snake Demon Tribe’s demon army would be on the other side of the Black Water River.

It was just that he didn’t know when this final battle, which would determine the final momentum of the tribes at the southern foothills of Black hell Mountain, would begin.

④

Azure Snake, Black Phoenix, the storm between the two great tribes involved almost all the gazes of Demon race on this land. Everyone was excited, excited, fearful, and terrified because of this, except for one person.

Shen Shi was not a demon, so he was naturally not interested in the internal battle between the demons. It was just that he was born in the Azure Snake Tribe, so he had no choice but to fight with the demon army.

Three years had passed. The two Little Ruyi Rings that he had brought to the Demon Realm had long since passed their useful lives. They were now abandoned. Without such a convenient storage container, Shen Shi could only carry some important items with him in a small cloth bag. Fortunately, he didn’t have anything particularly heavy and huge. The only problem was that the talismans he had brought over from the human race had gradually been used up over the years.

However, Shen Shi also found another way through the Ghost Magic Beast Skin. That was the magic talisman made from the beast skin. He had learned to make magic talismans one after another. In any case, he already had the foundation to make magic talismans, and magic talismans were much easier to make than magic talismans, so there was nothing difficult about it.

And most importantly, By comparing the Five Elements Technique with the Shaman Technique, Shen Shi could not help but feel that these two seemingly completely different spells had some strange connections. After pondering for a while, Shen Shi began to try to make talismans using the method of making talismans. In other words, it was basically drawing talisman runic formations on the beast skin of the talisman, and then filling it with spirit.

At the beginning, he had failed without any surprise. Whether it was the injection of spiritual energy or the description of runic symbols, there seemed to be a lot of conflicts. However, Shen Shi had keenly discovered from these failures that magical symbols were indeed capable of withstanding the infusion of spiritual energy from magical symbols. With this basic point in mind, Shen Shi insisted on trying. Perhaps this was the first time in 10,000 years that someone had tried to combine the Five Elements Technique and Shaman Technique in the two systems.

Three months later, Shen Shi produced the first water archery talisman.

That day, there didn’t seem to be anything out of the ordinary. There wasn’t any Azure Heaven Thunderbolt nor any abnormal phenomena. Everything was very quiet. Shen Shi quietly made a brand-new magic talisman.

In this distant foreign land, that was probably Shen Shi’s happiest day since he arrived at the Demon Realm.

If the Five Elements Technique could be used to create magical symbols, then could magical techniques be used to create magical symbols? This thought surged into Shen Shi’s mind almost instantly. However, in this situation, it was naturally impossible to confirm.

Perhaps, in this lifetime, he would end up like this in the Demon Realm?

This was a terrifying thought that had occasionally lingered in the depths of Shen Shi’s heart. He concealed his identity, and all he thought about was that he could one day return to the human realm. However, from the looks of it, this thought was becoming increasingly unlikely.

Sometimes, he would look at the lofty Black hell Mountain Range and feel the urge to leave this realm. Even if he could never return to the human side, at least in the Demon Realm, he would still have to go out and see what the outside world looked like, right?

In short, after three years of chaos and increasing tension, the atmosphere of confrontation between the north and south in Black hell Mountain became even more intense. Meanwhile, Shen Shi, who was hiding in Demon race, couldn’t help but be confused as he occasionally missed his relatives in his hometown.

In June, an order from the depths of the snake tent resounded through the south bank of the Blackwater River.

The Heavenly Azure Snake Demon Tribe was like a ferocious beast that had already prepared itself for war. It suddenly jumped up, revealing its sharp and terrifying teeth. It moved towards the north bank of the Blackwater River, mobilizing the entire army and swarming towards it.

This decisive battle that affected countless Demon race and decided the fate of the tribes at the southern foot of Black hell Mountain had finally arrived.

④

The Azure Snake army crossed the Blackwater River on the fifth day of the sixth month. The Black Phoenix Fengming City, who had been occupying the northern bank of the Blackwater River in Demon race for hundreds of years, immediately reacted. A large number of elite Black Phoenix Demon Armies descended south. The two strongest tribal demon armies of the Black hell Mountain Realm stood at a spiritual monkey slope on the north bank of the Black Water River, hundreds of feet apart, facing each other from afar.

In terms of the number of demon armies, the two armies confronted each other. On the contrary, the number of Azure Snake Demon Armies that rose later was a little more, reaching 4,000, while the Black Phoenix Demon Armies numbered around 3,500. However, no matter what, these two demon armies were already the strongest forces in the Black hell Mountain Realm.

In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed since the Green Snake and Black Phoenix demon races had confronted each other in the north and south of Spirit Monkey Slope. To the surprise of most demons, Although sporadic clashes would occur from time to time, most of them were battles between squads sent out by the two sides to patrol. On the contrary, the elite demon army had stayed on the spot. Neither the Azure Snake nor the Black Phoenix had any intention of launching an attack immediately. It seemed that most of them were still probing.

This situation stunned many demon clans, including many of the demon generals under the Azure Snake Clan. Originally, with the Azure Snake Clan’s recent strength, Empress Yu Lin had only rested for a moment before launching a storm-like attack on the Black Phoenix Demon Clan, Black hell Mountain’s final enemy, thus establishing the Azure Snake Clan’s dominance in the Azure Spirit Realm.

Unexpectedly, not only did Yu Lin not order an attack, he instead restricted his subordinates from moving. However, despite this, the atmosphere inside and outside Spirit Monkey Slope was still very tense under the confrontation between the two armies. It was even a bit breathless, and it felt like a storm was approaching.
