Phoenix Clan's Chongming, Three Demon Clan Generals

Jin Xuan's lips curled into a cold smile. With a flicker of his body, he transformed into a pale blue phantom, seemingly merging into the world, and quietly headed towards the source of the magical energy fluctuations.

A thousand miles is but a fleeting moment for Jin Xuan, who is now at the early stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

Jin Xuan comprehended the Innate Concealment Array and applied this technique to his supernatural powers, hiding himself in the clouds and looking down.

Below them was a valley, where supernatural powers and magical energy shone brightly, demonic energy filled the sky, and the battle was extremely fierce.

"Three against one? Isn't that bullying?" Jin Xuan scoffed.

Below is a mythical bird, exuding auspiciousness and extraordinary valor.

At first glance, it resembles an eagle, with wingspans reaching a hundred feet.

Its feathers were a blend of crimson gold and iridescent colors, and its eyes were crystal clear and radiant, as if they could see through illusions and dispel evil spirits.

"This is... the Chongming Bird!" Jin Xuan recognized the divine bird's origins.

Chongming is a branch of the Phoenix Clan. He has double pupils in his eyes and can ward off evil spirits and miasma.

After the Dragon-Han Great Calamity, the three races declined, retreated to their ancestral lands, and transformed into auspicious omens in the primordial wilderness.

The three ancestors of the clans—the Ancestral Dragon, the First Qilin, and the Primordial Phoenix—are said to have either died or gone into hiding in their clan's territory.

As for the three races and their affiliated races, they are bound by karma because they have caused chaos in heaven and earth.

The Chongming bird, which should have had heavy karma, was not only free of karma, but was also surrounded by pure energy, which was quite different.

"I wonder if this Chongming bird possessed some extraordinary treasure or accumulated a lot of merit to cleanse itself of its karma." Jin Xuan was quite intrigued.

However, the Chongming Bird is in bad shape now. Under the siege of the enemy, it has several wounds and is covered in blood. It can only hurriedly defend against the attacks from all sides.

The attackers were three demons.

These three demons already possessed the cultivation level of the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

The strongest among them is already close to the mid-stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

One of them is a centipede with a body a hundred feet long and a body as red as jade.

This centipede wasn't particularly large, but the ground shook as its hundred legs slid.

With a single breath, it spewed out a sky full of poisonous flames; it was truly formidable.

Many divine iron pieces around were melted by the poisonous flames, making it the most powerful among the three demons.

Clearly, this poisonous fire technique is extremely powerful.

The other is a six-winged demonic cicada with six wings, as black as ink.

This demon is extremely fast; with each flap of its six wings, it emits a terrifying demonic sound that disturbs the mind.

Those terrifying mouthparts were as sharp as a magical artifact.

With its extreme speed, it frequently left terrifying wounds on the Chongming Bird.

The third demon is of dubious origin.

This demon was extremely ugly, seemingly formed from a lump of mud, and reeked of a foul stench.

With each gulp, a large amount of filth spewed out, eroding the physical body and corrupting the primordial spirit.

This slowed down the Chongming bird, and its attempts to escape were repeatedly thwarted.

These three demon races, individually speaking, are comparable to the Chongming Bird before them, with only the Centipede being slightly superior.

However, the three demons cooperated perfectly, using poison, speed, and filth in a three-pronged approach, forcing the Chongming Bird into a perilous situation.

Then, the six-winged demonic cicada opened its mouth wide and tore apart the left wing of the Chongming bird. As it chewed, its own aura actually increased significantly.

"The Poisonous Flame Centipede, the Six-Winged Demonic Cicada, and this lump of mud... these are all vicious creatures burdened with karma. They'll be perfect for offering sacrifices to my gourd, and I'll also test the power of Taiyi."

Jin Xuan's eyes turned slightly cold. Killing such a person with heavy karma would not only yield his essence and blood, but might also bring him some merit. Why not do it?

Without wasting words, Jin Xuan stepped out of the clouds and, with a surge of magical power, summoned the Xuan Sha Pearl.

The terrifying power of Yin surged forth, causing the temperature in the world to drop suddenly, and the surrounding air to freeze.

The sudden pressure and attack startled the three centipede demons, but the opponent acted swiftly and killed them instantly.

The Yin energy instantly struck the "Filthy Demon." This demon, already sensitive to cold, was unable to withstand the sudden power of the Xuan Sha Pearl and instantly turned into a block of ice.

Next up was the Flying Blood Sword.

This sword, having been refined by Jin Xuan, has reached the level of a high-grade acquired spiritual treasure. However, it only has thirty restrictions, which is not considered particularly good, but its advantage lies in its usability.

The Flying Blood Sword pierced through the frozen "Mud" demon, but this demon was incredibly resilient and was only injured, with no danger to its life.

"Huh!?" Upon seeing this, Jin Xuan withdrew his magical treasure.

The mud demon's cultivation level wasn't particularly high, but its supernatural powers corrupted people and spiritual treasures, making people nauseous.

Jin Xuan then dealt with him first, and was somewhat surprised to find that he had failed to kill him.

The centipede suddenly swung its massive tail, sending a mountain of rocks hurtling towards him: "Who dares to meddle in our ancestor's affairs? We are generals of the demon race! Get out of here at once, or we'll refine you and us into blood food!"

The six-winged cicada transformed into human form, and as it channeled its magic, a set of flying knives as thin as cicada wings shattered the solid ice that trapped the mud demon, helping it escape.

"Damn it! Why waste words with him? Just kill him along with Chongming!" The mud demon's body was bulging, as if it were covered in pustules.

Jin Xuan just now used a series of combos to injure him.

If I were an ordinary living being, I would probably have already perished and my soul would have been scattered.

Chongming Bird's eyes flashed, sensing a glimmer of hope, and said to Jin Xuan, "Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist. Do not fight them head-on. These three demons are disciples of the demon race's 'Centenarian Ancestor.' Retreat quickly."

Chongming Bird naturally did not expect Jin Xuan to kill these three demons. The spiritual treasure he had just used was powerful, freezing the mud demon, which seemed to be a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

If you can escape, it's already a blessing from heaven.

"The Hundred Poisons Ancestor?" Jin Xuan memorized the name, his expression remaining unchanged. "Saving him is not the point; I simply wish to borrow some merit from these three fellow Daoists."

"Merit!?" The centipede's eyes turned cold. It had just seen how powerful Jin Xuan was and wanted to hold him back so that it wouldn't make a move until it dealt with the Chongming Bird.

Little did they know that this guy had long harbored murderous intent towards them, and without saying a word, he charged towards Jin Xuan: "You're courting death!"

The centipede charged forward, spewing forth a torrent of venomous flames, its stench filling the air.

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding vegetation turned to ashes, and the rocks melted away.

The Mud Demon and the Six-Winged Demonic Cicada ignored Jin Xuan and joined forces to deal with the Chongming Bird, wanting to finish the battle quickly and kill it so that the three of them could then join forces to take down Jin Xuan.

As Jin Xuan saw the poisonous fire rushing towards him, he activated the Qilin Shield that he had previously obtained from Mo Qilin. The shield swelled in the wind and grew into a small mountain, blocking his way.

As the poisonous flames surged forth, the precious light on the Qilin Shield was eroded and dimmed. After a short while, the shield was riddled with holes and severely damaged.

At the same moment, Jin Xuan multitasked, activating the Xuan Sha Pearl once again.

This treasure transformed into a streak of light, moving at incredible speed, and instantly struck the centipede.

The Xuan Sha Pearl is incredibly powerful. After being refined by Jin Xuan, it has been imbued with nearly thirty restrictions.

A single strike is comparable to the power of a small world.

The centipede felt as if it had crashed into a primordial mountain. Its bones and flesh nearly shattered, and it crashed into the valley with a bang, its body slamming into the mountain wall and being buried by the rocks.
