Chapter 5189: Provoking
ower to activate the prohibition, there was no response."Master, it is my incompetence."“I failed to oversee things properly. Please punish me, Deputy Chairman.”A male and female cultivator, both at t...In the Xianmo Battlefield, a jungle filled with raging winds and swirling azure flames, the sounds of combat and screams echoed endlessly.
This jungle grew amidst the inferno, towering trees of deep blue revealing grotesque faces intermittently in the flames.
“The Zanpu demon tree is said to exorcise ghosts, subdue demons, suppress flames, and gather the power of wind and clouds. It is truly as rumored.”
Beyond this grove of demon trees, a man with a placid face but a fierce gaze sat calmly upon a cloud-wreathed throne. At his head was a great Roc beast of Da Luo Golden Immortal rank, and the other twelve Roc beasts were all also at the Golden Immortal level of power.
At this time, tens of thousands of demon troops stormed into the forest. Every strike of a demon soldier against the thick bamboo demon tree produced the sound of metal clashing against stone.
And the thick branches lashed down intermittently, their ferocity comparable to that of swords. Some low-level monsters were instantly ripped open upon being struck, some even torn in half.
The Shi Bao demon, leading the pack, saw that things were turning bad and wanted to retreat with his troops. This sea of Zhan Pu trees started to move, using the trees as a base to form a massive formation.
Even a stone leopard demon of the Golden Immortal level, commanding tens of thousands of followers, would be insufficient to fill the gaps in such a vast formation. Under the siege of numerous bamboo-tree demons, it would soon be divided into several unconnected parts.

The stone leopard demon at the forefront was terrified, leading a small number of guards left and right, but they were all blocked by the powerful tree demons.
>
Tens of thousands of demon troops dissolved at a speed visible to the naked eye, constantly being slaughtered. Stone Leopard, the demon leader, was already battered this time, his demon armor cracking with several dozen wounds on his body.
"My Lord Demon Sovereign, save me!" The leader of the Stone Leopard demons, battered and spitting blood once more, cried out to the Extreme Cloud Demon Sovereign beyond the formation. With the current situation, if there was no help, he wouldn't be able to hold on for even three or five moments. Death would be upon him in an instant.
"My Lord Demon Venerable, should we rescue Leopard Constellation" A monkey-headed old man with snow-white beard bowed respectfully to Ji Yun Demon Venerable.
The other aspects of the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord are not bad, but his killing intent is too heavy. Back then, in order to make the power of the Wind Fire Cloud Soul Killing Banner reach its peak, he not only killed countless enemies, but also sacrificed his own subordinates without hesitation. He was ruthless and had blood debts piled high.
As a result, over the years, although the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable has gathered some tribes, his forces have always struggled to grow at the expected pace.

Had it not been for Ji Yun Ya Zun's exceptional cultivation talent and fortunate encounters, having achieved a remarkable breakthrough within the Yun An Yao Realm, his strength would have risen rapidly, boasting formidable combat prowess. He consecutively vanquished several powerful enemy Da Luo Jin Xian-level demon clans. His astonishing achievements quelled the hostility of numerous opposing forces.
It is estimated that the team pulled together by the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable has long since fallen apart. At least, this is what Monkey Review, as the new chief steward beside the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable, thinks.
As for the current forces under his command, it is best to win them over as much as possible instead of simply consuming them. Since the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable has a past record, if he wants to develop his forces into a large enough scale, he needs to put in more effort and sincerity than others.
“It’s not time yet.” Jiuyun Yaozun shook his head, then glanced at Hou Yue. “I know what you’re worried about. Those forces who have pledged allegiance to me have many doubts. It doesn't matter, as long as I can lead them to constant victories. Compared to risking everything to save some useless tribes, it would be a path to death to risk other tribes.”
"The Demon Lord is right," Monkey's heart skipped a beat, and under the cold gaze of the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord, he didn't dare to have any more objections.
He was well aware of the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable's temperament. While it was acceptable to offer suggestions in private with a humble tone, the other party absolutely loathed being questioned about their decisions in public.
"Is the Demon Venerable observing the battle formation changes of the Zhibian Tree Demons"
A stunning woman with the face of a human and the tail of a three-tailed scorpion turned her attention to Jiuyun Yaozun. Fu Caihua, the formidable Scorpion Demoness, was initially indifferent to the arrangement that placed her under Jiuyun Yaozun's command.
After following the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable in battle for some time, Fu Caibai discovered that not only was the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable's cultivation extremely profound, but his vision and insight were also a level higher than hers and the other equally-ranked Xuan Yan Demon Rhinoceros.
Even Fu Caihua faintly felt that Jiyun Yaozun had never placed her and Xuan Yan Yaoxi in his eyes. The other party aimed for a higher realm, and the current situation was just a trivial matter to him.
“Well, the Zhan formation of the Zhàn Pú demon tree is indeed formidable, with countless variations. Its members can work together harmoniously, making them truly difficult to deal with, but there are ways to counter it.”
Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable nodded. Fu Caihua observed him quite carefully, for Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable was a projection clone of Lu Xiaoteng's demonized form, his vision naturally far surpassing that of an ordinary Daluo Golden Immortal-level demonic beast.
Outsiders only thought that the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable had entered the Cloud Ox Demon Realm to gain some minor benefits. In fact, when Lu Xia Tian's main body first entered the demon realm from the Dragon Clan secret realm, in order to find Luo Qing and Lu Wushuang, he repeatedly projected himself into the demon realm several times.
Two projections were severely injured under the powerful interface force of the Demon Realm, losing their autonomy. In fact, these two broken projections were not too far from the Demon Realm.
The Supreme Celestial Demon Lord himself originated from here, and naturally sensed this broken projection. After much effort, he devoured these two shattered projections, and only then did his cultivation begin to skyrocket.
While his journey to the Cloud Ox Demon Realm greatly enhanced the power of his Wind-Fire Cloud Soul Banner, it was only icing on the cake.

The Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable successfully advanced to the Da Luo Jinxian realm more than ten thousand years ago. His strength in this realm isn't top-tier, but it's not weak either.

Given his current power and status, he can already hear about many major events from the battlefield of immortals and demons, including the astonishing戰績 of this deity over the past few years. The other party has already been able to kill cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, and even wreaked havoc in a Demon Lord's palace while escaping unscathed.
Even with the current strength of Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable, it feels somewhat impossible. It's hard to believe, and at the same time, there is a tinge of melancholy. His current cultivation and power all stem from his original self.
But my own strength has already reached a level that is beyond his comprehension.
The birth of the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable determined his outlook, naturally he wouldn't look down on Fu Caihua and Xuan Yan Yao Huai, two Daluo Jinxian-level powerhouses. Although they were at the same realm as him, joining forces they could perhaps stand against him in battle.
In the perception of Jiuyun Yaozun, only when one's strength is strong enough, and their individual combat power reaches a certain level, will the forces they operate be nothing more than a joke.

If it weren't for his need to gather cultivation resources and the necessity of a force to handle affairs on the Immortal Demon Battlefield, even if they all perished, he wouldn't bat an eyelid.
“Then I shall witness the Demon Sovereign's art of breaking formations.” Another voice, slightly sharper, sounded from the other side.
“You’re being sarcastic, and your actions of feigning compliance while secretly going against it have happened three times now. This seat didn't mention it because I don't want to cause a scene. You really think you can get away with this” Jīyún Yàozūn glared at Xuán yán Yāoxī.

"Today's battle, if you obediently follow my orders, I may still overlook past grievances. However, if you continue to disobey as before, even if I capture you, I believe the Underworld Demon Emperor will not say anything."
“Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable, you flatter yourself calling me Demon Venerable. You're really acting like a big shot. I'm only here to give you face. Don't be ungrateful. You attacked the Zhabpu tree demons solely for your own selfish gain. Old man doesn't have time to drag his troops into a fight to the death for you.” Xuan Yan Yao Xi chuckled.

The monkeys' faces changed drastically. The Zhanpu Tree Demon clan was already extremely difficult to deal with. With combined efforts, they might still have a chance to attack forcefully, but now that the Xuan Yan Demon Rhinoceros was so disrespectful, no matter how tolerant the Great Cloud Demon Venerable was, even he, this kind old man, would feel compelled to confront him.
Seeing the indifferent face of the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable, Monkey Reader dared not speak now. No one present could stop the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable from making a move.
“Since you insist on courting humiliation, then I shall fulfill your wish.” The Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable snorted coldly, raising his hand. A pitch-black flying sword slowly flew forward, like a phantom traversing the abyss. Wherever it passed, an unpredictable chasm seemed to spread outwards.
The Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable's reputation in the outside world wasn't very good, mainly because not many of his subordinates lived long lives. A large number of them died when he was enhancing the power of the Wind Fire Cloud Soul Life and Death Banner.
While the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable himself cultivated a sword embryo, he couldn't cultivate a lotus-shaped avatar like his main body to isolate the threat brought by the sword embryo.
Although this sword technique was indeed extraordinary, Ji Yun Ya Zun still couldn't help but cultivate it.
In order to enhance his cultivation speed, the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable secretly taught a group of talented demon races the Sword Embryo Technique. These demons naturally subsequently became part of the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable's formidable foundation.
However, to outsiders, the reputation of the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable was primarily due to the Windfire Cloud Soul Life and Death Banner. At this time, Fu Caihua saw this pitch-black flying sword that seemed to move through the abyss, her entire heart couldn't help but tighten.
Here is the translation of your content:
The void around this flying sword seemed to have transformed into an abyss. Even before the two sides fully engaged in combat, the Xuan Yan Demon Rhinoceros had already fallen into the abyss.
The Xuan Yan Yao Xi was startled. It had been a while since he'd seen Ji Yun Yao Zun make a move. He originally thought the other party's most powerful weapon was the Feng Huo Yun Hun Sheng Sha Ban, and even collected some treasures specifically designed to counter it.
>
The Xuan Yan Yao Xi faced the Jue Yun Yao Zun head-on. It wasn't that he truly disliked the other party, but the Jue Yun Yao Zun's influence had expanded rapidly, posing a certain threat to him.
If it weren't for the opening of this Immortal and Demonic Battlefield, it's likely that these two factions would have clashed sooner or later.
Now that the Extreme Cloud Demon Sovereign has made a move against the Zhanpu Tree Demon, anyone with eyes can see that the Extreme Cloud Demon Sovereign is acting out of personal gain. This is to exterminate the Zhanpu Tree Demon in order to increase the power of his Feng Huo Yun Hun Life and Death Banner.
The Xuan Yan Demon Rhinoceros wouldn't even drag its feet behind its opponent, let alone help its future enemies.
“You think you've secretly collected the Dingyun Soul Stones without me knowing I've never considered you a threat, but since you've come forward yourself, if I don't make a show of it wouldn't that be disrespectful to your enthusiasm”
As the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable spoke, the Swallowed Abyss Sword was already at the edge of the Crimson Flame Demon Rhinoceros. It didn't look fast, but no matter which direction the Crimson Flame Demon Rhinoceros moved in, it encountered tremendous resistance, causing the distance between them to continuously narrow.
“You really think I’m afraid of you” Xuan Yan Yao Xi roared with fury.
At that moment, he transformed into a giant rhinoceros engulfed in flames. Its horns were long and sharp, nearly the length of its body, with a dark gold sheen that seemed capable of piercing even the sky.
“You two, couldn't you settle your grievances privately Why make a scene like this” Fu Caihua stamped her foot and tried to persuade them, but there was a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes.
Although the three factions were nominally under the command of the Underworld Demon Emperor, their relationship was merely superficial. Unlike the Xuan Yan Demon Rhinoceros who had a sharp conflict with Ji Yun Demon Venerable, she remained indifferent to their rivalry, finding pleasure in their struggle regardless of the outcome.
However, it seems that Ji Yun Yao Zun's methods are even more powerful. Although Xuan Yan Yao Zun is also strong and ferocious, his aura pales in comparison to the vastness of Ji Yun Yao Zun's every move.
If the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable wins, it's not a bad thing to be more subservient to him afterward.

Fu Caihua watched from afar with a detached expression, while her subordinates were already engaged in a fierce battle, maintaining a safe distance and preparing for war.
However, considering the threat posed by the Zanpu Tree Demon and without orders from the Jíyún Demon Venerable or the Xuanyan Demon Rhinoceros, both sides still maintained a certain level of restraint.

Rumble! The Swallowing Abyss Sword clashed head-on with the Xuanjin golden rhinoceros horn, without any fancy flourishes. Instantly, darkness enveloped everything around the point of impact, centered on the Swallowing Abyss Sword. An endless tide of black surged forth, as if the demonic essence and power of laws within the body of the Chiyu Demon Venerable had been poured into this abyss.
And on the side of Xuan Yan Yao Xi, the brilliant bronze color also formed streaks of light curtains, resisting the invasion of darkness around them.
The clash between the two seemed to evolve into a competition of celestial phenomena. One side, darkness devouring heaven and earth, while the other, a veil of profound gold light, appeared to be maintaining the brightness of this domain.
For low-level demons, it was like this. However, for demons of the Xuanxian and Tianxian realm, who were closer, they could sense the ever-collapsing power of the laws and felt their heads splitting with pain.
Even though the aftereffects of the Doufa hadn't directly harmed them, the chaos of the Law Principles had already shaken their understanding of their past cultivation. It seemed that their comprehension of the power of the Laws was in disarray.
Boom! The void trembled, and a golden-purple light curtain exploded.
The Xuan Yan Demon Rhinoceros let out a muffled snort, before it could react, an inky black darkness began to erode the area around it.
This night was astonishingly invasive, continuously expanding its domain. As the light and darkness battled, the surrounding expanse of Xuanjin brilliance around the Xuan Flame Demon Rhinoceros constantly diminished, shrinking from a radius of several thousand li at the start to barely a thousand li before their eyes.
And the Xuanjin brilliance was still being dismantled at an even faster rate.
The Xuan Yan Yao Xi's heart pounded in fear. It never expected that Ji Yun Yao Zun's cultivation would reach such a level. The opponent didn't reveal any astonishing supernatural powers, but instead demonstrated an astonishing control over the entire battle process.
This is an example.t know that the owner of Luo Zhong Ting's skeleton back then was none other than Fu Tu Xing Seng, who had cultivated his Fu Tu Golden Body to an incredibly high level, far exceeding Zi'Ao Gui Jun's cu...
