Despite being suppressed, the Hehuan Demon Lord makes contact with the Yellow Springs Demon Lord. He proposes a merger to create a Supreme Netherworld Demon Body, which she eventually accepts. The two demon lords successfully merge, forming a powerful Demon Cocoon that withstands the combined attacks of the Immortal Lords.

The thought having surfaced in his mind, the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect's First Grand Elder, Elder Qiu, no longer dared to delay. He cast aside thoughts of the severed connection to his Second-Grade Immortal Artifact, the transparent fishing line, and immediately channeled his Immortal Yuan. Transforming into a beam of light, he shot out of the Wine Immortal Sect's main hall towards the gathering point of Sect Leader Qiu, Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva, the Cyan Dragon Clan Leader, and numerous other peak Immortal Lord experts. He urgently shouted:

"It's the Yellow Springs Demon Lord and the Hehuan Demon Lord, joining forces! They are attempting to merge using the Hehuan Demon Technique. Fellow Daoists, strike now and attack the Demon Cocoon formed by the Hehuan Demon Technique together! If we delay even a moment and allow the terrifyingly powerful Hehuan Demon Lord and Yellow Springs Demon Lord to complete their fusion, I fear a dual-soul demon will emerge. Its strength could rival, or even surpass, the First Demon Lord Fan Yu by a significant margin!"

This urgent cry from Elder Qiu, the First Grand Elder of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, amplified by his Immortal Yuan, swiftly reached the ears of every peak Immortal Lord present.

In an instant,

the expressions of all the peak Immortal Lord experts, including Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva, the Cyan Dragon Clan Leader, the Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader, and the Black Tortoise Race Elder Clan Leader, shifted dramatically.

Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect turned to his master, inquiring with a trace of doubt,

"Master, I recall you mentioning the Hehuan Demon Lord's Hehuan Demon Technique tens of thousands of years ago. Back then, you explained that when the Hehuan Demon Lord uses this technique, he devours the other party's body, absorbing their Divine Soul as well. It was precisely this malevolent Demon Technique that allowed the Hehuan Demon Lord to rapidly ascend, becoming one of the most bloodthirsty Demon Lords within the Profound Yin Demon Sect! If the Yellow Springs Demon Lord and this Hehuan Demon Lord merge, the Hehuan Demon Lord's power will undoubtedly skyrocket. After all, it would be the fusion of two Demon Lord-level powerhouses' Demon Bodies and Divine Souls. The resulting Demon Body would surely be incomparably formidable. But would the Yellow Springs Demon Lord truly be willing to relinquish his Demon Body and Divine Soul, abandoning hundreds of thousands of years of Cultivation?"

The other peak Immortal Lord experts also displayed looks of bewilderment. They were all acutely aware of the immense difficulty in achieving hundreds of thousands of years of Cultivation. They found it hard to believe that the Yellow Springs Demon Lord, known for his innate cruelty and selfishness within the Profound Yin Demon Sect, would willingly abandon centuries of cultivation for the sake of the Hehuan Demon Lord!

After all, such a fusion would result in the complete annihilation of both Divine Soul and Demon Body. Even the Demon Race, whose regenerative abilities were reputed to be unparalleled throughout the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, would be incapable of recovering from such an event!

Observing everyone's confusion, the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect's First Grand Elder, Elder Qiu, couldn't help but speak with urgency,

"If a Cultivator below the Demon Lord level is devoured by the Hehuan Demon Lord, their Demon Body will indeed vanish, and their Divine Soul will disperse, becoming part of the Hehuan Demon Lord's Demon Body! But the Yellow Springs Demon Lord is a Demon Lord-level powerhouse, his might not significantly inferior to the Hehuan Demon Lord's. Based on my understanding of the Hehuan Demon Technique, after this fusion, the Divine Soul condensed by the Yellow Springs Demon Lord will most likely not disappear. Instead, it will coexist within the new Demon Body alongside the Hehuan Demon Lord's Divine Soul! If my suspicions are correct, the newly formed Demon Body belonging to the Hehuan Demon Lord and the Yellow Springs Demon Lord will be terrifyingly powerful! Fellow Daoists, we absolutely cannot afford to waste any more time. Act immediately, we must disrupt the fusion of these two demons!"

At this juncture, the First Grand Elder of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect could no longer spare the effort for further persuasion. Instead, he once again took control of the Fishing Rod Immortal Artifact in his hand, along with the Third-Grade Immortal Swords that Lin Xuankong had initially bestowed upon each of the peak Immortal Lord experts!

In an instant, the translucent fishing line rapidly unfurled once more, and his Third-Grade Immortal Artifact transformed into a streak of flowing light, hurtling towards that colossal Demon Cocoon!

"Ding ding ding ding ding"

This Demon Cocoon, which appeared to be constantly writhing and not entirely solid, surprisingly possessed immensely powerful defenses.

Previously, when the Hehuan Demon Lord was manifesting his hundred-thousand-zhang Demon Body, he found himself utterly incapable of withstanding the slicing and piercing attacks of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect’s First Grand Elder, Elder Qiu, using his transparent fishing line. He had been riddled with wounds by this Grand Elder’s Second-Grade Immortal Artifact, enduring agonizing pain!

Yet now, as the transparent fishing line assailed the Demon Cocoon formed by the fusion of the Hehuan Demon Lord and the Yellow Springs Demon Lord, no matter how the fishing line wound, sliced, or pierced, it could not leave any substantial marks on the solid Demon Cocoon. A Second-Grade Immortal Artifact, wielded by a peerless Immortal Lord, could only produce a relentless barrage of "ding ding ding ding ding" sounds, utterly failing to dislodge the Demon Cocoon in the slightest!

Fortunately, the Third-Grade Immortal Artifact personally refined by Lin Xuankong harbored a power far exceeding that of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect’s First Grand Elder, Elder Qiu’s, Second-Grade Immortal Artifact fishing line. Upon reaching the vicinity of the Demon Cocoon, as the Third-Grade Immortal Sword continuously executed slashes, stabs, cuts, scrapes, pulls, shaves, lifts, and flicks, a portion of the cocoon threads on the surface of that enormous black Demon Cocoon—threads condensed from incomparably dense Demonic Qi—were indeed severed; strands of Demonic Qi sliced away freely dissipated into the air!

However, the protective Demon Cocoon, forged during the convergence of the Hehuan Demon Lord and the Yellow Springs Demon Lord, was simply too vast; the severance of a few cocoon threads by a Third-Grade Immortal Artifact appeared utterly insignificant!

It seemed that,

even if this First Grand Elder of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, Elder Qiu, were to employ the Third-Grade Immortal Artifact, he would likely require tens of millions, perhaps even hundreds of millions, of attacks to inflict any noticeable damage upon this Demon Cocoon!

But even with this Grand Elder of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect unleashing the Third-Grade Immortal Artifact at a terrifyingly rapid attack speed, executing hundreds of millions of strikes in a short span was an impossibility. Should the Yellow Springs Demon Lord and the Hehuan Demon Lord be permitted to continue their merging process, the inevitable outcome would be the completion of their fusion by the Yellow Springs Demon Lord and the Hehuan Demon Lord first....
