Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

"Let's go, out of the flying boat!"

Zhang Yuanjing's body was enveloped in mana like flowing clouds, wrapping Yuan Zhilin and the other six, and soaring upwards.

The remaining Core Formation cultivators were also quick, either escaping on their own or carrying their juniors, using magical artifacts to clear the way as they fled from the broken flying boat.

Some Foundation Establishment cultivators also reacted quickly, but their strength was insufficient to compete with the Core Formation cultivators. They were suppressed by the powerful aura and unable to move, only able to fly on their swords after the numerous Core Formation cultivators had left.

However, as the situation developed to this point, time had already run out. The damaged and incomplete flying boat plunged headfirst into the dense forest, emitting a huge crash. Dozens of giant trees collapsed, broken branches and leaves flew everywhere, the surroundings shook, and black smoke billowed.

In the mid-air, black birds rampaged, ranging from dozens to over a hundred, all led by demon core realm avian demons, chasing after the fleeing human cultivators.

Many more bird demons rushed towards the wrecked boat. The break in the flying boat wasn't large, and numerous black crows scrambled to be first, crowding together. Although their combat power was greatly reduced, they completely blocked the only escape route for the cultivators below, leaving no gap for escape.

The hundreds of cultivators in the wrecked boat were on the verge of despair. In fear and desperation, they used all their treasures, turning the small space into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Zhang Yuanjing and several late-stage Core Formation cultivators fought their way out together. Each knew that the other was their hope for survival, so they slightly restrained their aura when passing through the gap, trying to avoid collisions with each other.

Once out of the wrecked boat, everyone's aura suddenly changed. Fierce killing moves emerged one after another, killing or blocking the surrounding black crows, opening a bloody path, and fleeing in all directions.

When the Core Formation cultivators attacked, although they were fierce, they didn't use any extraordinary or dazzling moves, fearing attracting the attention of the transformed demon bird. Those who escaped alone were the most efficient, using a sword to break through the enemy. Those like Zhang Yuanjing, who were also carrying Foundation Establishment cultivators, had a much harder time.

Although most of the crows were only below the Spiritual Enlightenment realm, there were quite a few demon core realm existences, making it not easy to deal with them. Moreover, they couldn't be too aggressive, truly testing everyone's abilities.

Zhang Yuanjing had too many people to protect, so he sacrificed the Geng Metal Primordial Qi Talisman from the beginning, not hesitating to expend a large amount of mana to activate the golden light to envelop Yuan Zhilin and the others. He only used the Armor-Piercing Axe to cleave open the demon core realm demon birds, while relying on the tyrannical power of the Geng Metal Primordial Qi Talisman to rudely knock away the remaining black crows, quickly escaping towards the valley in the Jasper Stone Mountain.

This was also a helpless choice. The environment in the Jasper Stone Mountain was harsh, and no monsters resided there, making it safer than other places. If they ran into the mountains and dense forests, they would be entering the familiar territory of the monsters, making it difficult to escape the relentless pursuit. As for the unclear direction in the Jasper Stone Mountain, he had a Jasper-Eyed Suanni Beast in his spirit beast bag, so he wasn't too worried.

There were also a few people who had the same idea as Zhang Yuanjing. They took the lead, broke through the encirclement, and rushed into the valley. The Black Crow King hovering in the sky only glanced at them indifferently and ignored them.

On the other hand, if there weren't many demon birds chasing the cultivators who fled in other directions, the Demon King would emit a cawing sound, mobilizing the flock to outflank them.

The battle descended into madness from the start. Many cultivators couldn't withstand the siege of the demon core realm bird demons and were disemboweled and eaten. Some were injured and captured, leaving them alive, but they became prisoners of the demon birds.

Although Zhang Yuanjing didn't kill demons with violent methods, a large mass of golden light flickered, attracting the attention of many demon birds. Quite a few late-stage demon core realm black crows launched a strong attack on him.

He only circulated all his mana, and the thick and powerful earth power refined with turbid essence supported the golden light from falling, stubbornly resisting the frantic attacks of the birds' sharp beaks and claws, and quickly approached the valley entrance.

Perhaps the golden light he maintained was too dazzling, and he also protected several people as he rushed out of the crow swarm, eventually attracting the attention of the Black Crow King. It had no interest in personally dealing with a few weak human cultivators, and only casually called out a few times, urging several late-stage demon core realm demon birds to besiege Zhang Yuanjing and the others.

As a result, Zhang Yuanjing's pressure increased, and his movements were hindered. Seeing that he was only six or seven miles away from the valley entrance, it was clearly close at hand, but he struggled to move forward.

Zhang Yuanjing poured mana into the Geng Metal Primordial Qi Talisman like a tide, urging the golden light to expand outward in a circle, stubbornly resisting the demon birds' obstruction, and moving forward a hundred steps, feeling somewhat exhausted for a time. Feeling that it would be difficult to continue supporting himself into the valley, he gritted his teeth, took out the Earth Art Sword, used a move of 'Raging Sand' to obscure the space, and then drove the sand formation to move with him.

Those demon birds were disturbed by the sand formation and temporarily lost their target, so they screamed in the yellow sand, not knowing whether they were contacting the Black Crow King or calling other demon birds to support them.

Zhang Yuanjing was shocked and decisively pulled Yuan Zhilin and the other six out of the raging sand formation, quickly rushing forward.

However, as soon as they revealed their tracks, more than a dozen demon birds pounced down from above, stretching out their long and sharp claws, fiercely grabbing at their heads.

Among these demon birds, the strongest was a mid-stage demon core realm demon bird with extremely fast escape speed and violent aura, actually circling to the front of Zhang Yuanjing, flapping its wings and crashing into him.

Zhang Yuanjing flipped his hand and sacrificed the Limitless Blade, slashing at the demon's head.

The Limitless Blade flashed out silently, and in the blink of an eye, it had reached the black crow's head. Although this demon was fierce, it was startled by the sudden attack and instinctively rolled over, trying to avoid the blade.

But how fast was the Limitless Blade? Before the bird could react, it had already struck its head.

The demon bird's bones were tough, its fur was like iron, and it was infused with blood, so ordinary magical artifacts could not break it with one blow. However, the Limitless Blade was both fast and sharp. With a single slash, it was like cutting soft mud, instantly splitting the demon's head open.

The demon bird let out a miserable cry and fell straight to the ground, lifeless.

The power of this blade was seen by the surrounding black crows, all showing fear, and several birds let out rapid screams.

Zhang Yuanjing exerted force under his feet, urging the flying sword like lightning, quickly passing through several miles and falling straight into the valley.

At this time, a group of demon birds that had failed to pursue the Core Formation cultivators in front, led by two late-stage demon core realm leaders, turned their heads and attacked him, a dark mass blocking the front, like a wall.

At this moment, about to escape, Zhang Yuanjing no longer held back. With a wave of the Earth Art Sword, raging sand filled the air, and falling rocks rained down. Furthermore, the Limitless Blade secretly ambushed the late-stage demon core realm demons. For a time, screams rang out, and dozens of demon birds below the Spiritual Enlightenment realm were hit by the falling rocks and fell to the ground one after another.

Even a half-zhang black crow in the late stage of the demon core realm had half of its wing cut off by the Limitless Blade. After losing its balance, it was hit by a boulder and fell to the ground.

With such a momentum, the Black Crow King in the sky tilted its head, and its cold gaze fell on Zhang Yuanjing.

Zhang Yuanjing only felt his aura stiffen, as if an invisible force was pressing down on him. But this feeling of entrapment was only for a moment, after all, the great demon was several miles away from him.

In the next moment, a stream of dark aura flew out from between the transformed demon's wings, like a flying sword piercing through the air, slashing towards the top of his head.
