Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1417 - 656: Yue Xiumu’s Growth, the Mortal World’s Impassable Abyss

"So we’re doomed, aren’t we?"

"Are we really just going to watch helplessly as the Human Race and Demon Race join forces to attack our Ten Thousand Demon Cave?"

The Mahayana Demon said through gritted teeth.

The Demon Race had been the undisputed overlords in the Spirit Ruins Realm for hundreds of millions of years.

The puny Human Race and Demon Race were merely ants, barely able to hold on in front of them.

But now, they were actually being pushed to such an extent by the Human Race and Demon Race. It was truly outrageous.

"Not necessarily."

"If we truly encounter a life-and-death crisis, the headquarters will spare no expense to send demons over."

"But for now, although our losses are heavy, we haven’t reached the brink of life and death yet."

"So the headquarters hopes we’ll keep trying on our own."

"After all, there are simply too many worlds in the Great Thousand needing assistance."

"Even the high-tier demons from headquarters are exceedingly rare."

"Especially after losing support from the Immortal Realm."

"We can no longer, as in the past, summon an inexhaustible army of demons."

"Right, the Immortal Realm’s Absolute Path blocks Mortal Cultivators from ascending to the Immortal Realm, but it also prevents us demons from receiving aid from there—truly a double-edged sword."

Many high-tier demons spoke up.

They, of course, hoped the headquarters could send more high-tier demons.

But that’s impossible.

Because so many places in the Mortal World need headquarters’ assistance, Spirit Ruins Realm is just one of them.

For now, they must rely on their own strength.

"This way, we’ll have to turtle up defensively for a while."

"We don’t have enough forces to guard every spot."

"Stretching ourselves too thin might give the Human and Demon Races opportunities to pick us off one by one."

"That damn Talisman Daoist! If not for that guy, our Demon Race wouldn’t be in this mess."

"We have to hunt down that Talisman Daoist and bring him to shreds."

The Mahayana Demon was furious.

Now, it hated the Talisman Daoist most. Since this Talisman Daoist appeared in the Spirit Ruins Realm, many plans of the Demon Race had suffered major setbacks.

As if enduring great calamities time and again, causing the Demon Race massive losses.

Surviving demons bear a deep-seated hatred toward the Talisman Daoist.

If not for this human cultivator, the Demon Race would still be thriving in the Spirit Ruins Realm.

How could they end up this miserable?

"Don’t worry, we’re already tracking that Talisman Daoist."

"Indeed, as soon as he leaves any clues, he will absolutely not escape our pursuit."

"This wretched Talisman Daoist has caused us grave losses, must be pulverized, annihilating his entire clan."

"Sadly, this guy comes and goes like a ghost. Almost no cultivators know of his existence, let alone come into contact, complicating our actions greatly."

"Footprints always remain; I refuse to believe this human cultivator hasn’t left any trace."

The numerous high-tier demons ground their teeth.

They had never hated a human cultivator so much.

Although history in the Spirit Ruins Realm had seen many exceptionally talented cultivators, none had caused the Demon Race much harm, not even Ye Wuxian.

But this Talisman Daoist was different.

Every appearance resulted in severe losses for the Demon Race.

Like a specter, lurking in the shadows to catch the Demon Race’s flaws.

Any hint of vulnerability would lead this damn bastard to strike, causing devastating blows.

......

Elsewhere, in Wanhu Demon Kingdom.

This incident also brought enormous benefits to the Demon Race.

Once they learned the Demon Race had suffered a great blow, they immediately purged the Demon Caves within Wanhu Demon Kingdom, restoring past safety to it.

"We never expected humans to be this ferocious."

"Secretly setting traps and wiping out over a hundred Mahayana Realm demons in one stroke."

"If not for this, we’d never have the chance to eliminate so many Demon Caves, reclaim so much territory."

Many Demon Race cultivators were talking, quite struck by the news.

At first, upon hearing this, they thought it was mere rumor.

The news seemed too absurd.

After all, eliminating over a hundred Mahayana Demons at once seemed impossible.

But upon repeated verification, they realized it was indeed true.

So, under Yue Xiumu’s leadership, countless Demon Race armies mobilized, destroying one Demon Cave after another, achieving unprecedented glorious victories, never before seen in hundreds of millions of years.

This excited many Demon Race cultivators.

At the same time, they felt great admiration for the Human Race’s great achievements, utterly baffled as to how it was accomplished.

"Those deeds were the Talisman Daoist’s doing."

"This human cultivator is full of mystery."

"Even within the Human Race, no one knows his origins."

"But judging by these exploits, this human cultivator is indeed extraordinary."

The Wanhu Demon Kingdom’s king, Yue Xiumu, spoke wistfully.

She understands the Talisman Daoist better than other Demon Race cultivators.

For she has been under control of this wretched human, forced into a contract.
