Chapter 2611: The Origin of the Shadow Demon

rvive, we will recruit him under our command and then give him another taste later. Carrots and sticks, I'm not afraid this Eastern Saint of Dan won't fall into our hands.""That's true." Xu Suqin nodd...After settling Emperor Yao, Silver-Faced Rakshasa, and Peng Da-yong, Lu Xiaotian called upon his Lotus Blossom avatar. As long as the main body and the Lotus Blossom avatar's divine senses merged together, Lu Xiaotian could learn about the happenings in the Red Moon Desert through the avatar during this period.

"Apart from cultivation, has there been any other change in Hu Chunman" Lu Xia tian was genuinely surprised. Even though Xiang Kuang had lost his memory, he shouldn't be misled about matters concerning Hu Chunman. It seems like he still needs to visit in person.

Although the Lotus Avatar's strength is not weak, its swordsmanship surpasses even those in the entire Chaos Demon Realm. However, compared to the main body, it is still inferior, especially in terms of the soul.

The Cold Source Myriad Wave Pearl is now in hand, but it's still some distance away from a breakthrough in body refinement. There's no need to rush its use for now. To utilize this treasure, one would need to find an ideal location within the Demon Sea.

Through Lotus's avatar, Lu Xia Tian learned that the demonic shadow had come once before, but was driven back by Lotus's avatar and Yun Cang Yue working together. The two sides did not actually fight, and the demonic shadow apparently didn't expect that even after Lu Xia Tian left, there would still be a powerful late stage sword cultivator in the Chiyue Desert.

Of course, the other party never expected this swordsman to be Lu XiaTian's lotus avatar.

Letting the lotus avatars practice independently, Lu Xia Tian stretched out his palm and lifted up the Yu Lu demon creature's nascent soul that had reached the late stage of integration.

"Those few of your kin who came out from the secret realm, I have already brought them to the Crimson Moon Desert. In order to bring these little guys out, I had to fight with two Nascent Soul cultivators and several other Demonic Beasts in the Nascent Soul stage. I also sustained some injuries myself. I hope the information you provide will satisfy me." Lu Xia Tian looked at the Yu Lu old demon's spirit and said.

"Lu Danwang's methods are indeed extraordinary." Yu Lu Lao Yao was also very surprised after hearing Lu Xiaoteng's words. To escape from the depths of the Demon Army and face the attacks of so many combined monsters, even if it was just a wheel war, it was terrifying enough. It seemed that Lu Xiaoteng was facing several demons attacking at the same time.

Lu Xia Tian not only broke out, but also brought seven little disciples of the Divine Void Realm with him. This is not something that an ordinary late-stage Hehe stage monster could achieve.

"Lu Danwang's divine powers are vast, no wonder you can fight against the incarnation of Tongtian Demon Lord without being defeated." Yulù Lao Yao sighed.

"An incarnation of the Heavenly Demon Monarch What's going on" Lu Xia Tian was taken aback upon hearing this for the first time. He had come from the Netherworld Corpse Ground and Yao Qing Ying had told him quite a bit about the Heavenly Demon Monarch, making him believe his understanding of the Heavenly Demon Monarch surpassed that of ordinary people. He never expected this old demon to have cultivated an incarnation technique as well. It seemed that the fish-deer old demon hadn't been entirely truthful in what he had told him last time.

> "It's said to be an incarnation, but in reality it's just a demonic shadow. This demonic shadow is indistinguishable from its physical body. Its power is formidable; it is rumored that back then, this demonic shadow's strength had already surpassed the constraints of the fusion realm, reaching the level of a half-step great ascension. Afterwards, for some unknown reason, it separated from the Heavenly Demon Sovereign's main body."

“That shadow demon, because of its unique existence, many things are inconvenient to do. If it could restore a physical body, it would be able to do a lot for the main body. This time, my Yu Lu clan and several other extinct clans were targeted by the shadow demon because of their noble bloodlines. However, the Cloud Que tribe on Zhu Xia Mountain was more fortunate. They received help from King Lu Dan, and managed to retain some vitality. As for the other clans, they weren't so lucky.” Having said that, the old Yu Lu demon sighed.

"How do you know that was a split shadow of the Heavenly Demon Sovereign, and not his true deity manipulating it" Lu Xiaoteng asked.

"I'm just making inferences based on some records and rumors. It is said that the Heavenly Demon Lord was suppressed in the Nether Demon Corpse Ground, and it is rumored that the Heavenly Demon Lord has a powerful backer behind his main body. He uses the blood of low-level demon creatures to help him recover his physical body, which seems rather unreasonable. It might not be enough to meet the needs of a Mahayana realm powerhouse."

"Besides these, what else do you know"

“My Yúlù clan can use our own blood to refine Blood Spirit Beads. If Móyǐng uses the essence blood collected from my Yúlù clan to practice dark arts, the Blood Spirit Bead will definitely react. Of course, the degree of reaction is influenced by many factors: the cultivator's cultivation level who refined the Blood Spirit Bead, the distance between the place where Móyǐng practices dark arts and the holder of the Blood Spirit Bead, and the strength of the person holding the Blood Spirit Bead, etc.”

“If you’re looking for the Shadow Demon, I can ask a few of my kin to help you. If that Shadow Demon absorbed the blood essence of our Fish Deer clan, its power will weaken every time the moon wanes and waxes. As for anything else, there’s nothing more I can do for you.” said the old Fish Deer demon.

“That’s enough.” Lu Xia Tian nodded. Although most of what Yu Lu Lao Yao said stemmed from his speculation, Lu Xia Tian still felt deep down that Yu Lu Lao Yao’s speculation was likely close to the truth.

Yu Lu Lao Yao, as a late-stage Nascent Soul demon, wasn't necessarily less intelligent than Lu Xia Tian. Moreover, considering Lu Xia Tian's understanding of the Heavenly Demon Monarch, with Bing Yu Qing Lan's methods, causing countless killings in the Demon Sea, her ruthlessness and far-reaching schemes were astonishing even to Lu Xia Tian now. Although the current chaotic Demon Territory seemed turbulent and unpredictable, compared to Bing Yu Qing Lan, a Great Ascension demon, it had more insidious calculations but lacked some of that overwhelming aura.

Knowing the possible origins of the Shadow Demon, Lu Xiaotian felt a little relieved. Recalling the wisp of soul that had attempted to steal the Earth Demon's bloodstain when he was distracted in the Zhu Xia Mountain forbidden zone, Lu Xiaotian raised a new question for Yu Lu Lao Yao.

However, the Fish-Deer Old Demon did not give a constructive response to this.

"The Juying Mohu seems to indicate that the demon shadow is not only wreaking havoc in the chaotic demon domain, but also has some kind of cooperation with certain combined old monsters from the chaotic demon domain. Moreover, it appears that the object of this collaboration is not limited to Jia Xiaolin alone."

With the Gathering Shadow Magic Gourd in his hand, the demonic shadow would still come for him sooner or later. With this hot potato of a Gathering Shadow Magic Gourd, Lu Xiaoteng couldn't make up his mind for a while.

After much deliberation, Lu Xia Tian still decided to keep the beast. In reality, he and the Heavenly Demon Lord had already formed a grudge against each other. Even though he didn't want to confront him, some things couldn't be changed by his will.

"What's Lu Danwang going to do with me next" Lu Xia Tian asked, and after getting his answers, the Yu Lu old demon asked back.

"I haven't figured it out yet." Lu XiaTian said, this Fish Deer Old Demon knew a lot. Releasing him now was impossible. And the Nascent Soul of a late stage merged demon beast, to someone like the Fish Deer Old Demon, wouldn't be worthwhile to not use for refining his soul.

If they were originally unrelated, Lu Xia Tian would have directly used them to cultivate his techniques without any psychological burden. However, after coming into contact with them, he felt that it was not the case.

"I've heard that not only is Lord Lu skilled in both martial arts and cultivation, but he's also particularly adept at using demonic spirits for his eerie supernatural abilities. I imagine Lord Lu has this sort of thought in mind," said the old demon, Yu Lu.ne else, there weren't many True Immortals who could suppress Mao Jiuling at this level. Not to mention Zhu Yan, even Lü Yiming, who had originally taken care of people from Yunxia Fairy Sect because...
