The Mortal's Path to Immortality

Cao Rui carefully considered Hongzhou's defense layout.

I think this arrangement is extremely reliable.

After all, it was a tactic devised by gathering the strength of monks from one state.

"When we get there, this is where we are." Young Master Fusheng said.

"Then, everyone, be prepared and gather your magic power to prevent the death energy from entering the body. Let's get down." A height of several dozen meters is nothing to the monks in the late stage of Qi refining.

Young Master Fusheng took the lead and jumped into the 깊꽭 trench.

Cao Rui was the last one to jump down.

As soon as they entered the trench, the air of death immediately hit their face.

This is also Cao Rui's first contact with the Death Qi.

This is an aura of death that penetrates people's soul. Surrounded by the aura of death, it's like seeing a dying old man rotting little by little in front of you.

The strong twilight atmosphere makes people despair.

However, for Cao Rui, whose physical realm has reached the peak of the golden elixir, this level of death energy cannot have a great impact on him.

His consciousness was reduced to the surface of his body, and he could clearly detect that the death energy was frantically hitting his body at the microscopic level.

But it couldn't penetrate Cao Rui's body defense at all.

Despite this, Cao Rui still felt a pressure.

This kind of death is not only a physical erosion, but also a spiritual impact.

It tries to destroy people's will and vitality, plunging people into endless fear and despair.

The will of monks is naturally extremely firm, and Cao Rui is even more so than ordinary monks. Naturally, he did not suffer much negative impact. On the contrary, he felt a little excitement in his heart.

The rest of the monks in the team did not have Cao Rui's golden elixir body, so they were naturally unable to resist the death aura. They gathered mana to protect their bodies, so they could resist the death aura.

Fortunately, the concentration of death energy in the 'peripheral leak detection area' is not high, and it does not take much mana to successfully resist the death energy.

"Are you new here?" As soon as Cao Rui and others descended the 깊꽭 trench, a monk Yu Kongyu came. It was the foundation-building monk in charge of this area: Sun Yu.

Cao Rui and others saw this person's image when they were at the base of the tower.

Therefore, it is natural to recognize this person's face.

"Senior, we are the new team." Young Master Fusheng stepped forward and opened the door.

Seeing that the rest of the people were looking at this young man as the leader, Sun Yu nodded and said. "The leader of the team was chosen very quickly, which is good. Don't let your guard down just because this is the periphery. If the whole team doesn't get along, the entire army will be annihilated."

After a pause, Sun Yu looked at Young Master Fusheng: "What's your name?"

"Junior young master Fusheng."

"It turns out he is from the young master's family." Sun Yu was slightly startled, and then said, his eyes looking at the young master Fusheng were obviously much softer.

Cao Rui on one side could see it and understand, because Sun Yu's immediate boss, the Jindan monk who was responsible for a large area above him, was also a young master with the compound surname! Therefore, Sun Yu would naturally treat people from the Young Master's family differently.

"You guys, come with us." Sun Yu led Cao Rui and ten others to a relatively safe place, but there would be no demonized humans to kill and get rewards for.

He pointed to the surrounding environment and said: "You are responsible for this area. You can move freely within a radius of two or three miles."

Then, he reminded with a serious expression: "In addition, there are a few points that you need to pay special attention to. First, the death energy can block the visit of the spiritual consciousness, so you must not rely too much on your own spiritual consciousness to judge the situation."

"Second, we must not easily believe what any demonized human race says. Since they choose to be demons, they are no longer the same race as us."

"Third, if you encounter a demon that cannot be dealt with, fire a signal flare immediately."

When they entered the base of the tunnel, they had already received a special signal flare, which could still shine brightly even in a lifeless environment.

뇾뀪There is nothing better than informing regional alliance monks깊.

Finally, Sun Yu emphasized again: "The fourth point is particularly important. Remember not to fly too high, because the death energy surges upward. If you fly too high, it will trigger a group of death energy attacks, even if you are high up. It’s hard for any upper-level monks to bear such pressure. For you Qi Refining Stage monks, the consequences will be disastrous.”

Cao Rui and others listened quietly to everything Sun Yu said. After he finished speaking, they nodded to express their understanding and keep it in mind.

"Then I'll leave first." Sun Yu said goodbye and left. He needed to patrol back and forth within the area he was responsible for.

The death aura blocked his sight, Sun Yu left in the air, and soon disappeared from the sight of Cao Rui and others.

Just after Sun Yu Yukong left, a figure with demonic aura suddenly appeared out of the gray fog.

"Huh? Are there demons coming?" Someone in the team shouted.

"Surround him and don't let him escape." Young Master Fusheng said.

Ten people gathered around in a fan shape.

Getting closer, it was clear that this 'fish that slipped through the net' was a demonized human being.

Cao Rui thought for a moment and then he understood.

As Qingzhou is gradually completely occupied by the Demon Clan and the layout of the Demonic Crystal Stronghold, some Qingzhou people and monks will turn to the Demon Clan, either voluntarily or passively, and become a member of the Demon Clan.

Naturally, these powers will not be wasted by the Blue Hole Demon Clan. When attacking Hongzhou, they will naturally be incorporated into the Demon Clan Legion.

Ordinary people have different strengths after becoming demonized.

Those who have combined their bodies with the demonic energy more perfectly can ascend to the highest level at once and possess power comparable to that of the Qi Refining Stage.

These demons will be absorbed and accepted by the Blue Hole Demon Clan.

After ordinary cultivators have successfully transformed themselves into demons, their strength can also increase significantly.

After being properly used by the demons, they are also a force that cannot be ignored.

“Don’t kill me, don’t kill me! I was forced to do this!”

When this demonized human saw that he was surrounded, he immediately knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

The crying made people feel pity and looked extremely wronged.

The demonized human race, except that the body size is a circle smaller than that of the real Blue Hole Demon Clan and there are a few light blue eyes, all other characteristics are there: the hair is completely gone, the whole body is grayish white, and two pairs of upper and lower sharp teeth grow.

Seeing this, Master Fusheng hesitated slightly, but a newly joined casual cultivator behind him raised his sword and slashed without hesitation.

The demonized human screamed, and seemed to be frightened and ran back to avoid the sword slash. The casual cultivator followed him in a few steps, and his figure was quickly swallowed by the death aura, and his figure was not clear.

After a while, a muffled groan was heard, and a figure flew out backwards.

He fell on the ground, without any sound, and it was the casual cultivator in the team!

"You are the ones who are surrounded!"

The demonized human who was crying before stepped out, looking very proud, and there was no crying at all. Behind him, dozens of demonized humans surrounded Cao Rui and his men.
