Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension Chapter 1383 - 744: Alien Demons Call Themselves the Immortal Clan

A region within the Immortal Heaven Continent, three years later.

Endless mountain ranges rolled across the landscape, where the Mang Forest stood thick with ancient growth. Suspended in the air was a heavy, swirling miasma and fog, making the terrain appear ghostly and indistinct.

Abruptly, a piercing wolf’s howl tore through the heart of the mist!

The cry was powerful enough to shake the firmament, causing the valleys to vibrate with violence. Dust billowed upward as the thick fog was forcibly scattered in every direction.

Following that initial howl, a symphony of roars and predatory calls erupted from the peaks below. A torrent of massive, malevolent demonic beasts surged out from the haze, their collective momentum as unstoppable as a flood.

At the same time, a blackened sky was formed by countless flying demon beasts rising from the woods, blotting out the light.

As the beast tide closed in, Baili Shouguang scrambled out from a hidden burrow. He fled toward the horizon in a state of sheer panic, his complexion flushed with a sickly crimson—a clear sign of the grave internal injuries he suffered.

Despite hiding and evading for more than half a month, the pursuit of the Alien Demon remained inescapable. Despair gripped Baili Shouguang's heart as he played back the moment his "senior brother" had casually unmasked his true identity that day.

The deception had been absolute; he had no inkling of when the Alien Demon had seized and replaced his "senior brother."

Had the creature not chosen to toy with him by revealing its nature, Baili Shouguang might have remained ignorant until the moment of his death.

The Alien Demon was a master of mimicry. Before it struck, even the arrival of a Great Venerable would not guarantee the ability to discern which creatures in a tide were possessed and which were merely ordinary demon beasts!

This "inability to distinguish the true from the false" was the most maddening trait of the Alien Demon!

Roar! Roar!

Howl! Howl!

Wail! Wail!

"Jie Jie, Junior Brother, escaping my demonic grasp is impossible. Why not return to your Senior Brother’s embrace? I shall treasure you for the rest of your life!"

Through the thunderous cacophony of the beasts, a mocking and seductive voice whispered directly into Baili Shouguang’s ear, sharp and filled with cruel amusement.

Baili Shouguang’s expression twisted in terror. He could not help but glance back, only to witness massive ancient trees snapping like twigs. Trunks were tossed into the air like debris, and shattered foliage rained down as the forest was leveled.

Emerging from the wreckage was a Three-tailed Giant Tiger, its fur as dark as night and its frame as large as a Dragon Elephant. It rode upon a sinister devilish wind and a demon cloud, rapidly gaining ground on him.

Standing atop the tiger’s sleek, black head was a thin, wickedly handsome old man. His face was ghostly pale, and a thin smile played on his lips as his evil eyes locked onto his prey.

The moment Baili Shouguang’s eyes met his, his frame shuddered, and a freezing dread took root in his soul.

Flanking the giant tiger were a hundred-foot-long green python and a massive spider mottled with green and purple. Both creatures were masters of cloud-riding, their devil qi billowing toward the heavens.

The green python unhinged its jaws, exhaling a vast sea of iridescent poisonous flames. Within the fire, countless tiny green serpents writhed and hissed.

With a violent shiver, the giant spider shed thousands of Ghost Face Spiders. They swarmed together like a living black cloud, surging toward Baili Shouguang.

Behind these three primary demons, a wall of thick devil fog rolled forward, concealing the silhouettes of countless bizarre demon beasts. The tide rose and fell with murderous intent that saturated the air for hundreds of miles.

Paralyzed by the horror of the scene, Baili Shouguang pushed his mana to the limit. He spat a mouthful of essence blood onto his Lifebound Magic Treasure, the Turn Tribulation Sword.

The flying sword erupted with brilliant light, shielding its master as it transformed into a soaring sword rainbow, streaking toward the horizon.

However, the three demons gave no ground. Under the oppressive aura of the White-faced Old Taoist, their speed intensified, steadily narrowing the distance.

The pursuit spanned hundreds of miles in the blink of an eye.

While the main beast tide eventually fell behind, nearly a hundred elite demon beasts were still able to maintain the chase.

Baili Shouguang remained in constant jeopardy, frequently intercepted by the beasts and forced to veer off his path, causing his wounds to worsen with every passing moment.

In his desperate flight, Baili Shouguang failed to notice that he was being herded in a massive circle.

He only realized his mistake when a fresh pillar of devil fog surged into the sky ahead, accompanied by bone-chilling roars.

A new torrent of grotesque demon beasts and predatory birds burst from the forest in front of him. In an instant, thousands of cruel, savage eyes were fixed upon him.

Baili Shouguang’s body convulsed with fear. The flying sword beneath his feet wavered, its Sword Light flickering as if the weapon itself shared its master's terror.

A second later, he came to a dead stop in mid-air. He turned with grim resolve to face his pursuing "senior brother," Mo Xingkong.

"If death is my fate, then so be it. I am done running!..." Baili Shouguang hissed, facing the advancing horde and their suffocating devil qi.

He dove toward the ground, his hands moving in a blur of mudras.

Beams of light flew from his sleeves, each carrying Array Plates and Array Flags that sank deep into the earth. From the ground, a Five-Colored Spiritual Light erupted, manifesting into a vast expanse of Five-Colored Light Clouds.

"Great Five Elements Killing Array, activate!"

As his "senior brother" drew near, Baili Shouguang retreated into the heart of the glowing mist, his voice echoing with defiance.

The Five-Colored Light Clouds instantly expanded for dozens of miles, turning into a dense, impenetrable haze that swallowed the world.

Rumble!

Within that fog, towering walls of golden stone rose from the dirt, forming a labyrinth of narrow passages. A massive and incredibly intricate maze had been born.

Hidden within the corridors were lethal traps and Five Elements Prohibitions, each humming with murderous power.

"Senior Brother" Mo Xingkong came to a halt at the edge of the mist. He looked slightly surprised, though he never doubted his ability to secure his prey.

He had toyed with the boy long enough; now it was time to capture him and return to make his report.

"Little ones, enter and slaughter him for me!" The White-faced Old Taoist commanded. He knew his subordinate beasts were merely Demon Thought Subbodies and required no spoken orders to act.
