Cultivation of Immortality: Refining the Innate Spiritual Treasure at the beginning

Lei Dong and Dongfang Yunqi looked at each other, both of them were shocked. They had not expected that the self-explosion of four ninth-rank demons would be so terrifying.

"Ahem..." Lei Dong coughed a few times, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Although he was a Mahayana cultivator, he still suffered some minor injuries from the shock wave of the self-explosion.

Dongfang Yunqi's condition was better than Lei Dong's. He just looked a little pale, but was not injured.

"I didn't expect that the power of several demons' self-detonation would be multiplied. Fortunately, we ran fast." Lei Dong said with lingering fear.

"Yes, although we have encountered the self-detonation of a ninth-level demon before, the power was much smaller than this!" Dongfang Yunqi also echoed.

Li Yang flew to the side of Lei Dong and Dongfang Yunqi. He was not injured and his expression did not change. "Are you all right?"

"It's just some minor injuries, no big deal." Lei Dong said.

"Li Yang, I didn't expect that you have such powerful strength in such a short time after being promoted to the Mahayana stage. Not only were you able to block the attacks of two ninth-level demons, but you also did not get hurt by their self-detonation attacks!" Dongfang Yunqi praised.

"Thank you for your praise, fellow Daoist. I am only able to compete with them by taking advantage of the formation." Li Yang said modestly.

"Li Yang's strength is indeed very strong!" Lei Dong said.

"We have killed almost fifty eighth-level demons this time, and there are still about forty in the gathering point. Although the strength of those who have merged into ninth-level demons is still above ours, the gap in strength is not very obvious anymore." Li Yang spoke up and changed the subject.

"This time, by moving the formation forward, we were able to lure out a lot of eighth-level demons. But it may not be so easy to consume eighth-level demons like this in the future!" Lei Dong said with a sigh.

"Yes, we are already very close to the gathering place of the Sky Demon Clan. If we continue to get closer, it will be easy for the Sky Demon Clan on the opposite side to come out in full force." Dongfang Yunqi's face also showed a trace of worry.

"There's no rush about this. Sooner or later we'll be able to find a way to lure them out in batches." Li Yang said firmly.

"Well! It seems that the Demon Clan will not have any support. Let's go back!" Lei Dong said as he looked at the big pit in the distance caused by the self-explosion of four Demons.

"You guys go back, I'll continue to monitor the gathering point of the Sky Demon Clan. Oh, and have those low-level practitioners continue to refine the demonic energy. The lower concentration of demonic energy in the surrounding area will affect the combat effectiveness of the Sky Demon Clan, which is beneficial to us."

After Li Yang finished speaking, he restrained his breath and flew towards the gathering point of the Sky Demon Clan again.

Seeing Li Yang leave, Lei Dong and the other two also returned to the core of the human race's formation.

In the next few days, both sides were at peace. Although the human race did not continue to move the formation forward, they kept purifying the demonic energy. Even though Li Yang was hiding around the gathering point of the Sky Demon Clan, he could sense that the concentration of demonic energy in the surrounding area was slowly decreasing.

As for the gathering point of the Heavenly Demon Clan, no more Heavenly Demons were sent out to attack the human race's formation.

Every night, those celestial demons would still split into a large number of low-level celestial demons, and then wait until the next morning, they would absorb these low-level celestial demons along with the demonic energy they had refined back into their bodies.

However, as time went on, Li Yang discovered that some eighth-level demons had rushed to this gathering point from other places.

After just over ten days, the number of eighth-level demons increased from about forty to more than sixty. Moreover, the number continued to increase. This should be because other gathering points of the demon clan began to provide support here.

During this period of time, the Sky Demon Clan has been hiding in the gathering point and has not come out. The human race is helpless and can only refine the demonic energy that drifts past into spiritual energy. There is nothing else they can do.

However, Li Yang thought of a way to attract the Heavenly Demon Clan out these days, that is to kill the low-level Heavenly Demons who come out of the Heavenly Demon Clan’s gathering point every night to refine spiritual energy and create demonic energy.

Because a lot of demons were killed in the gathering point some time ago, the number of low-level demons split off every night is much less than before.

Even so, seven or eight million low-level demons leave the gathering point every day and return here in the early morning of the next day.

Li Yang originally wanted to take action himself. If the number of demons coming out of the gathering point was not large, he would kill them all. If a large number of demons came to protect these low-level demons, he would temporarily avoid the attack.

However, after Lei Dong and others heard that Li Yang was preparing to take action against the low-level demons, they decided to send out a team to strangle the low-level demons, while they would lead another team to ambush and see if they could launch another sneak attack on the demon clan.

As for Li Yang, he was still monitoring the gathering place of the Sky Demon Clan, looking for the right opportunity. Li Yang had no objection to this arrangement.

Because the low-level demons have always gone out to refine spiritual energy by themselves, they have never encountered danger. Even though the human race began to fight back, they have not yet taken action against these low-level demons. This also made the demon race gathering point never think of sending high-level demons to protect them.

In fact, even if the Heavenly Demon Clan had the intention, they did not have the ability to go and protect it. After all, there were millions or even tens of millions of low-level Heavenly Demons in one gathering point. In addition, the low-level Heavenly Demons needed to refine spiritual energy everywhere, so the high-level Heavenly Demons could not protect it at all.

That night, a team of sixty to seventy practitioners in the Fusion Stage and the Refinement Stage crossed the formation and headed towards the gathering point of the Sky Demon Clan.

The mission of this team was to strangle the low-level demons who went out to refine spiritual energy from the demon gathering point. They restrained their breath and moved forward quickly.

After walking for more than 20 kilometers, they discovered that there were densely packed low-level demons on the ground. The highest of these demons was only level two, and the lowest had just reached level one.

Although their cultivation level is very low, their numbers are very large. The entire ground is so densely packed with them that they are impossible to count.

After seeing the target, the practitioners in the team were very excited. They immediately dispersed and launched an attack on the ground.

Due to the huge gap in strength between the two sides, the low-level demons had no room to resist. The battle almost became a one-sided massacre.

In just less than ten minutes, all the low-level demons in the area were slaughtered.

Afterwards, the human cultivators continued to expand their victory, dispersing towards the territory of the Sky Demon Clan, and continuously killing low-level Sky Demon Clan members.

However, millions of low-level demons are too large. Even if the human cultivators are powerful, they cannot be slaughtered in a short period of time.

Moreover, Lei Dong only wanted to test it today, and was not prepared to kill all these low-level demons. Half an hour after the operation, the human cultivators began to retreat in an orderly manner and returned to the human settlement.
