Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

135. Chapter 135 Time Is Fate, Luck Is Also!

Chapter 135: Time, Command, and Fate!

As a spiritual cultivator, and one who has survived from ancient times to the present as a transcendent cultivator, the Demon Lord had never seen a creature like the Soul Devouring Worm before, but he had encountered many similar soul-devouring demons or spirit beasts.

In fact, in order to deal with some troublesome enemies in the past, the Demon Lord himself had raised these natural enemies of spiritual cultivators.

It was precisely because of this that the Demon Lord was even more aware of the terrifying and troublesome nature of these soul-devouring creatures.

Even when he was at the peak of his cultivation, he dared not include these soul-devouring creatures in his sea of consciousness.

They were the natural enemies of all spiritual cultivators, and devouring spiritual consciousness and spiritual essence was their innate ability!

Including them in the sea of consciousness was no different from inviting one's own mortal enemy into one's own courtyard. It was simply seeking death!

So he never expected that Liu Zimo, this madman, would dare to keep such a ferocious soul-devouring worm in his sea of consciousness!

This was too ruthless!

Even if you wanted to prevent others from taking over your body, you could simply cultivate some spiritual secret techniques to stabilize your divine soul, or at the very least, refine some divine soul treasures just in case.

Was it necessary to keep such a soul-devouring worm in the sea of consciousness?

This was like dancing on the edge of a knife, and at any moment, it could play you to death!

Swish!

The Demon Lord's spiritual body swiftly fled in his sea of consciousness, using all kinds of spiritual secret techniques and concealment techniques to the extreme.

But that soul-devouring worm was like a maggot attached to bones, completely sticking to his spiritual essence, no matter how he struggled or fled, he couldn't get rid of it!

This little creature's ability to break illusions, track, and devour souls was several times stronger than any soul-devouring creature the Demon Lord had encountered before!

It was too terrifying!

Completely unable to get rid of it!

What was even more despairing was that Liu Zimo, this bastard, had completely sealed off the spiritual platform channel in advance, cutting off any possibility for him to escape from this sea of consciousness space!

Open the door to welcome the thief, close the door to beat the dog!

He was so skilled in these tricks!

The Demon Lord even began to suspect that Liu Zimo had been setting a trap for him from the beginning, luring him into this sea of consciousness.

Otherwise, who would be so well-prepared? Who would keep such a perverted soul-devouring creature in their own sea of consciousness?

No matter how you looked at it, he felt that this was a trap and conspiracy specifically targeted at him!

"Could all of this be the calculation of the Heavenly Daoist?"

"Damn it, if I don't have a chance to get out alive, I will definitely slaughter the entire Heavenly Gate!"

Thinking of the spiritual turtle lying on Liu Zimo's shoulder, the Demon Lord couldn't help but imagine.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, the more he thought about it, the more panic and fear filled his heart!

"Enough! That's enough!"

"I surrender, alright!"

"Quickly get rid of this damn little creature for me!"

"As long as you let me out, you can ask for anything you want, martial arts techniques, heaven and earth treasures, even my demonic sect's secret soul techniques can be discussed!"

After struggling for a while, seeing that he couldn't escape at all, and that the soul-devouring worm was about to completely refine the spiritual essence it had just devoured, ready to take another bite at any moment.

Knowing that there was no hope of escape, the Demon Lord suddenly stopped in his tracks in his sea of consciousness and shouted loudly, wanting to surrender.

He knew how tempting his spiritual essence and divine soul were to a soul-devouring creature.

If he didn't surrender now, in the next second, he might truly die and his soul would be scattered.

At the same time, he also knew very well that once this soul-devouring little worm devoured and refined his spiritual essence, it would inevitably grow rapidly and reach a completely uncontrollable state.

In that case, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for Liu Zimo.

So, the Demon Lord confidently believed that Liu Zimo definitely wouldn't want to end up with both sides suffering, ultimately benefiting the devouring spirit bug for nothing.

There should still be room for negotiation!

But the response he received was only endless silence, and Liu Zimo was completely unmoved.

At this moment, having digested the demonic remnants it had just devoured, the spirit bug didn't hesitate to take a vicious bite at the Demon Lord's spiritual body.

"Ah~!!"

The Demon Lord screamed in agony once again, in unbearable pain!

Damn it!

He had clearly softened and admitted defeat, even willing to give up the secret techniques of the demonic path, so why wouldn't this bastard Liu Zimo let him go?

Could it be that this kid really wanted to go down in flames and take him with him?!

In the void, Liu Zimo, with a god's perspective, looked down at the Demon Lord's every move in his sea of consciousness.

Naturally, he heard the Demon Lord's words of surrender.

Although Liu Zimo was tempted by the martial arts techniques, heavenly treasures, and secret techniques of the soul that the Demon Lord mentioned, he was more afraid of falling into the Demon Lord's trap due to his momentary greed.

After all, this old fox had lived for countless thousands of years. Who knows what kind of vicious methods he had hidden?

So, it was better to be cautious and prioritize safety in all matters!

A dangerous character like this should be thoroughly killed before one can feel at ease.

As for those other things, as long as one is alive, there will always be a chance to obtain them again.

At the same time, at the military camp outside the sea of consciousness.

Noticing that the Demon Lord's spiritual consciousness had directly entered his new master's sea of consciousness, Turtle of Longevity was so scared that its shell almost fell off.

"It's over, it's over!"

"The Demon Lord is still as cunning and treacherous as ever!"

"Who could have expected that he would hide his spiritual consciousness in his own spiritual pet's sea of consciousness!"

Turtle of Longevity exclaimed in fear, extremely worried.

"How can the master resist the sudden attack of the Demon Lord's spiritual consciousness?"

"The Demon Lord is an ancient powerhouse, most skilled in soul control and reincarnation. Although the master is a Spirit Abyss realm cultivator, he is completely inadequate in front of the Demon Lord, a spiritual cultivation ancestor!"

"What should we do?"

"Even if the master is the reincarnation of an old Taoist priest, his cultivation strength has not fully recovered. How could he possibly be a match for the Demon Lord?"

The little turtle anxiously spun around on Liu Zimo's stiff shoulder.

Little Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao heard Turtle of Longevity's muttering and couldn't help but pat its shell at the same time.

"Little turtle, stop talking nonsense here. Our master is the most powerful warrior in the world. How could he be in danger?"

"That's right, no wonder that big bird just called you a dumb turtle. You really are a bit slow-witted!"

The two little girls were full of confidence in their master and didn't believe Turtle of Longevity's nonsense at all.

"What do you two little girls know?"

"You don't know how terrifying the Demon Lord really is. Back then, he alone caused chaos in the ancient world, and the entire Daoist sect suffered heavy losses in order to eliminate him..."

Turtle of Longevity argued with the two girls, wanting to enlighten them about ancient history.

But it found that the two little girls simply turned their heads and ignored it.

They had actually set their sights on the motionless spiritual crane nearby.

"Sister, our master already said it, let's kill this big bird!"

Lou Xiaoxiao suggested, "Why don't we take advantage of its illness and kill it, and then give it another blow?"

Upon hearing this, Little Feihong put on the air of an elder sister and nodded approvingly, "Junior sister, you've finally grown up. Your thinking has become more mature!"

After speaking, the two little girls unexpectedly swung their daggers at He Yannian's neck at the same time.

Pfft!

With almost no resistance, He Yannian's bird head separated from his neck, spraying a fountain of spiritual blood that fell to the ground.

After his death, his spiritual power dissipated, and He Yannian's true form as a spiritual beast was instantly revealed.

His enormous body fell from mid-air, directly occupying the entire military courtyard.

It was only at this moment that the guards stationed at the camp noticed the abnormality outside and hurriedly came out to guard and observe.

When they saw that the entire military courtyard was filled with the corpse of a giant monster, they were all shocked, their mouths wide open and their jaws almost dropping to the ground!

What level of monster is this?

Just judging from its size, it's estimated that it would take millions of tons to defeat it!

According to their previous experience of hunting monsters, the higher the cultivation level and strength of a monster, the larger its body tends to be.

And this monster in front of them, it's probably stronger than a hundred Iron Bone Realm monsters combined!

Too terrifying!

Next to them.

Seeing Xiao Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao decisively killing He Yannian, and not encountering any backlash left by the Demon Lord, Gui Sui Shou let out a sigh of relief, but his neck couldn't help but tighten, and his heart felt a slight chill.

Never would he have thought that after surviving for over ten thousand years, enduring the difficult era of the end of the law, the black-hearted He Yannian, whose strength hadn't fully recovered.

Now, he had died so miserably at the hands of two human girls.

It's really a matter of timing, fate, and luck!

Encountering the master and his two disciples, it serves the black-hearted He Yannian right!

However, the aura on these two girls is too heavy, and their attacks are too ruthless. I must stay away from them in the future!

Also, this spiritual blood on the ground cannot be wasted. I, Old Turtle, also need to replenish my body!

Thinking this, Gui Sui Shou opened his mouth wide, not only sucking all the spiritual blood sprayed out from the spiritual crane into his belly, but also swallowing the huge bird head that fell to the ground in one gulp!

As for the remaining corpse, although Old Turtle wanted to continue devouring it, he suppressed his desire when he thought of the warning from his master and once again became obedient.

Although it didn't have much confidence in the current situation of its master, and didn't think that its master could escape the Demon Lord's possession.

But at least for now, it hadn't sensed the dissipation of its master's spiritual consciousness, and the soul contract between it and Liu Zimo was still intact.

So, just in case, it should wait for the right opportunity!

[When my master's spiritual consciousness is completely shattered by the Demon Lord, it won't be too late for me to swallow this black-hearted crane's corpse!]

[As long as my speed is fast enough, I can completely escape before the Demon Lord reacts!]

[Hmph, the Turtle Breath Technique of our spiritual turtle clan is unparalleled in the world. As long as I sincerely want to hide, even the Demon Lord won't be able to find me!]

Thinking this, Gui Sui Shou lightly licked the remnants of spiritual blood on its lips and once again obediently lay on Liu Zimo's right shoulder, ready to seize the opportunity.

A good meal is not afraid of being late, anyway, this foolish crane's corpse is right here and won't grow legs and run away!

Inside the sea of consciousness.

At the moment when He Yannian was beheaded, Liu Zimo also simultaneously heard the corresponding prompt in his ear:

[Your spiritual beast He Yannian had bad luck and suffered one disaster after another. He was beheaded by a human warrior and died on the spot, his soul returning to the heavens!]

[The 'Stealing Heaven' innate talent passive ability has been triggered. You have inherited half of the remaining gifts left by the spiritual beast He Yannian before his death. Spiritual Crane Blood +1000, Spiritual Crane Meat +500, Red Crane Crown +10, Physical Cultivation +100, Spiritual Power +100, Soul Strength +50.]

[Your spiritual beast He Yannian has gone offline. You can currently bind a spiritual beast (1/100).]

Boom!

As his cultivation entered his body, Liu Zimo's physical strength and spiritual sea of consciousness simultaneously underwent astonishing improvements and enhancements!

Let's not talk about his physical strength for now.

After reaching the Divine Realm, Liu Zimo's physical body was already as strong as a spiritual treasure, unyielding and unbreakable. Now, with an additional hundred years of physical cultivation, his body became even more powerful and unmatched.

His spiritual sea, along with the influx and enhancement of a hundred years of spiritual cultivation and fifty imprints of divine soul intensity, instantly surged and boiled. The space of his spiritual sea expanded once again, extending over ten thousand meters beyond its previous boundaries.

His divine soul became even more stable, and the spiritual barriers around him multiplied in strength. The demon lord and the demon Zero, who were in his spiritual sea, were shocked by this sudden change, freezing in their tracks.

The demon lord was somewhat confused, not understanding why Liu Zimo's cultivation had suddenly advanced in an instant. On the other hand, the demon Zero had long been accustomed to Liu Zimo's unpredictable breakthrough progress.

Every time Liu Zimo made a breakthrough, it felt like its hope of escaping became even more elusive. So, to alleviate its frustration and dissatisfaction, the demon Zero turned its sorrow into appetite and took a vicious bite of the delicious spiritual knowledge beneath it.

"Ah~!"

The miserable scream of the demon lord resounded once again. Although it was still extremely tragic, the volume of the scream was noticeably weaker than before.

"My spiritual beast!"

"Who killed my spiritual beast?!"

At this moment, he seemed to sense the demise of his spiritual beast. The demon lord, in the midst of his agony, began to become somewhat hysterical, resembling a madman.

Liu Zimo quickly stabilized his mind, silently absorbing and refining the feedback from He Yannian's dying moments, while expressionlessly monitoring the demon lord's every move.

The death of He Yannian was already within Liu Zimo's expectations, as his two precious disciples were not to be trifled with. How could they let He Yannian, who was alone, escape?

Take advantage of the enemy's illness to kill them, never fight one-on-one when you can gang up, never face the enemy head-on when you can launch a sneak attack. These were the combat principles Liu Zimo had instilled in his two precious disciples.

Now it seemed that the two girls not only seized the opportunity but also cleanly killed the spiritual crane. They could graduate now, right?

With the demise of his spiritual beast, the demon lord seemed to have suffered a significant backlash, and his spiritual knowledge instantly weakened.

Seeing this, the demon Zero became even more excited, sticking firmly to the demon lord's spiritual knowledge and continuing to tear and bite.

One bite, two bites, three bites...

As the demon Zero continuously devoured and assimilated, the demon lord's spiritual knowledge gradually weakened, and the concentration of his essence rapidly became thin and diluted.

In the end, he didn't even have the strength to beg for mercy.

After more than ten minutes, when the demon Zero completely devoured the last remnants of the demon lord's spiritual knowledge and soul origin, Liu Zimo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, he killed this demon!

This was the most life-threatening crisis he had encountered since his rebirth, and it was finally resolved.

Liu Zimo calmed his mind, and with a thought, he once again imprisoned the slightly bloated demon Zero.

With the infinite expansion of the spiritual sea space, Liu Zimo had no worries about the demon Zero betraying him.

Even if this little bug really broke through to the King level and possessed cultivation strength similar to that of a human master or a spiritual sea realm expert, Liu Zimo was not afraid in the slightest.

He had long learned from the "mouth" of the demon Zero that even the king among devouring spirit insects could only detect up to fifty thousand meters with its spiritual thread.

And now, Liu Zimo's spiritual sea space had already expanded towards the direction of one million meters. What was there to fear?

With his spiritual knowledge back in place, Liu Zimo slowly opened his eyes and saw the corpse of the spiritual crane lying in front of him.

With a thought, he directly stored this giant spiritual crane corpse, weighing over a million tons, into the Eastern Pearl.

This time, he didn't let the Eastern Pearl degrade and refine it on its own but deliberately preserved it.

After all, this was the corpse of an ancient spiritual beast, and every inch of its flesh and blood contained a massive amount of spiritual energy, far surpassing that of foreign domain demonic beasts.

Whether it was used for alchemy or direct consumption, its effects would be much stronger and more practical than ordinary precious medicinal herbs.
