Is there no future for a female immortal? I rely on farming to achieve immortality.

Chapter 364 Demonic Backlash

Pfft!

Yao Meier was caught off guard, and her body was pierced by the Heavenly Demon Sword.

"cough cough..."

She instantly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and black blood continued to seep from the spot where the Heavenly Demon Sword had pierced her.

Yao Meier's pupils gradually lost focus.

"This...this is impossible! How could a fake Core Formation cultivator like you severely injure a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator like me!"

"puff!"

Shen Nian'an withdrew the Heavenly Demon Sword that had pierced Yao Mei'er's body.

This action further aggravated Yao Meier's injuries.

Nothing is impossible in this world.

"After all, I was able to gain the approval of the Heavenly Demon Sword and be selected as the young sect leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect within three months. I did it!"

She not only wants to become the young sect leader, but also the sect leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect in the future!

The stronger she is, the more powerful she can be to help her master!

Immediately afterwards, Shen Nian'an raised her hand, glanced at the Divine Hidden Bamboo Bracelet on her wrist, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

If her master knew that she had already cultivated to the Pseudo-Core Realm in just three months, he would be greatly surprised.

On the ground, Yao Meier, her expression filled with resentment and unwillingness, continued to vomit black blood.

She was injured by the Heavenly Demon Sword, and the Heavenly Demon Sword Qi within her body would continuously damage her dantian meridians.

Yao Meier has now completely and utterly become a useless person.

But since Yao Meier wanted to kill her, she wouldn't be so kind as to let Yao Meier live.

She's not a saint; she'll definitely eliminate any future troubles!

Shen Nian'an dragged the Heavenly Demon Sword and approached Yao Mei'er step by step.

As Yao Meier listened to the ear-piercing sound of the sword scraping the ground as it drew closer and closer to her, she completely broke down.

"You bitch, how dare you kill me!"

"If Master finds out, he will definitely not let you off!"

Shen Nian'an ignored her and swung the Heavenly Demon Sword, preparing to finish off Yao Meier.

But the Heavenly Demon Sword remained suspended in mid-air and did not fall for a long time.

In an instant, a strong sense of discomfort swept over Shen Nian's body.

The Heavenly Demon Sword in her hand was shrouded in red light, which flowed along the sword towards Shen Nian's safety.

'Do you desire supreme power? Submit to me! Submit to me, and I will grant you supreme power! I will make you the ruler of this world!'

'You shouldn't acknowledge a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator as your master. Submit to me, and I will grant you supreme power!'

Shen Nian'an's eyes were bloodshot, and the devilish whispers kept echoing in her ears. She wanted to throw away the Heavenly Demon Sword immediately.

But then she realized that her body was completely out of her control.

Shen Nian'an suddenly remembered the words her master, Mo Yan, had told her when she retrieved the Heavenly Demon Sword from the Heavenly Demon Sect's artifact tomb.

"An'er, with your current cultivation level, you are not yet capable of completely taming the Heavenly Demon Sword Spirit. Your cultivation is below the Nascent Soul stage, so try not to use the full power of the Heavenly Demon Sword, otherwise you may suffer a backlash! Remember this!"

Shen Nian'an gritted her teeth.

With only a pseudo-core cultivation level, she naturally couldn't compete with Yao Meier, who was at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

Her ability to fight against opponents of higher levels was truly thanks to the Heavenly Demon Sword.

However, in her moment of excitement, she forgot that with her cultivation level, she had not yet reached the point of completely taming the Heavenly Demon Sword.

The spirit of the Heavenly Demon Sword is now turning against her, turning her into a servant of the demonic sword.

I don't think about it!

She will never acknowledge any person or thing as her master in this lifetime, except for Su Yang!

Seeing that her body was becoming increasingly out of her control, she had no choice but to abandon the seriously injured Yao Meier and flee into the distance.

The most urgent task now is to find a secluded place.

Even after Shen Nian'an left, the Heavenly Demon Sword Qi on Yao Meier's wounds continued to gnaw at her like a leech.

She doesn't want to die...she doesn't want to die!

However, at that moment, a beam of black light instantly rushed into her battered body.

******

"Fellow Daoist, this demonic sword in your hand seems rather peculiar. Could we, the two brothers, borrow it for a look...?"

Shen Nian'an looked up and saw two demonic cultivators at the early stage of the Golden Core realm blocking her way.

After the two men saw Shen Nian'an's face clearly, a look of surprise appeared in their eyes.

Shen Nian'an forcibly suppressed the violence and murderous intent in her heart, and a scarlet light flashed in her eyes.

"Go away!"

She needs to find a secluded place to recuperate.

Otherwise, if this drags on any longer, she's really afraid she'll be completely controlled by the Heavenly Demon Sword Spirit and become its servant.

The two Golden Core demon cultivators paid no heed to Shen Nian'an's cold warning.

The smiles on their faces only became more lewd.

The two demonic cultivators' blatant gazes swept over Shen Nian'an's body from head to toe.

"Hehe, fellow Daoist, how dare you, a mere False Core cultivator who hasn't even broken through to the Golden Core stage, speak to us two brothers like that?"

"We brothers are magnanimous. If you obediently serve us once and then hand over the demonic sword in your hand, we will release you. How about it?"

Shen Nian'an gripped the Heavenly Demon Sword tightly in his hand, his violent killing intent reaching its peak.

"I kindly asked you to leave, but you insisted on courting death! Don't blame me then!"

Shen Nian'an's voice became increasingly shrill and irritable.

The two Golden Core demon cultivators were all smiles, seemingly unaware of Shen Nian'an's unusual behavior and paying no attention to her words.

After all, no matter how much trouble a pseudo-Core Formation cultivator causes, they can't really harm the two early-stage Golden Core cultivators.

"Oh? We brothers would like to see what you're going to do to us, little beauty."

After they finished speaking, they slowly began to approach Shen Nian'an.

"Pfft!"

Instantly, a bright red line of blood shot into the sky.

"Ahhh!"

In the blink of an eye, the head of a Golden Core demon cultivator was slashed off by Shen Nian'an's Heavenly Demon Sword.

"You...you shameless woman! You actually dared to lay a hand on me?"

Another Golden Core demon cultivator was enraged upon seeing this.

He immediately began to act, wanting to kill the woman to avenge his brother.

At this moment, Shen Nian'an's eyes were bloodshot.

Her entire body was shrouded in demonic energy, her long black hair fluttered in the wind, and her face was gloomy and cold.

"Kill them! Kill them! They treated you like this, they deserve to die by my Heavenly Demon Sword!"

"Become the servant of my Heavenly Demon Sword, and I will bestow upon you unparalleled power!"

The allure of the Heavenly Demon Sword Spirit constantly spurred Shen Nian'an's mind.

"Get out of here! Get out of here!"

"I...I will not become your sword servant! Don't even think about it!"

Shen Nian'an's hands trembled as she tried to break free from the control of the Heavenly Demon Sword Spirit.

However, just then, "Hmm..."

The attack from the Golden Core demon cultivator arrived in an instant, and his spiritual sword pierced into Shen Nian'an's body.

The intense pain brought Shen Nian'an back to consciousness temporarily.

She forcibly pulled the Golden Core demon cultivator's spirit sword out with her bare hands, her clothes soaked with blood.

Shen Nian'an gritted her teeth, her eyes bloodshot.

A slender arm forcefully gripped the neck of the Golden Core demon cultivator.

The Golden Core demon cultivator was easily lifted up by Shen Nian'an, but he couldn't break free at all.

He stared in horror at Shen Nian'an's face, which was gradually turning into a狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious or hideous) shape.

"Monster...monster...monster..."

A great fear swept over him, and beneath his trousers, a foul-smelling, yellowish liquid had been dripping out.

Shen Nian'an applied slight pressure with her palm, and a cracking sound was heard.

The remaining Golden Core demon cultivator died just like that.

Shen Nian'an didn't bother to deal with the two corpses; he flashed away and quickly left the place.

Meanwhile, a hundred miles away, Su Yang also dealt with a group of demonic cultivators who wanted to rob her while she was alone.

After she collected the storage rings from these demonic cultivators and disposed of their bodies, one of the silver soul insects she had previously placed outside to scout the way suddenly landed on her shoulder.

The next moment, Su Yang looked up in the direction where Shen Nian'an had disappeared.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, her phoenix eyes seeming to be deep in thought.

"Shen Nian'an?"

"Beside her, there was also an extremely powerful aura..."

"This aura... is extremely similar to that of the Soul-Devouring Pearl... could it be another ancient magical artifact?"

As soon as Su Yang finished speaking, her figure vanished from the spot.

On the other side, Shen Nian'an, after many hardships, finally found a cave inhabited by a monster before her last shred of sanity disappeared.

After driving away the demonic beasts inside the cave, she quickly set up a simple concealed protective array, then inserted the Heavenly Demon Sword into the ground and began to sit cross-legged on the ground to resist the erosion of the Heavenly Demon Sword spirit.

'Are you truly content to be a servant of a Foundation Establishment cultivator? Heh, as the wielder of my Heavenly Demon Sword, how could you be so despicable?!'

'You've truly disgraced my Heavenly Demon Sword! Are you really willing to accept this?'

'As long as you are willing to become a servant of my Heavenly Demon Sword, I will help you remove the soul imprint between you and that Foundation Establishment cultivator.'

The demonic energy around Shen Nian'an was chaotic and volatile, and the whispers of the Heavenly Demon Sword Spirit continued to echo in her ears.

She bit her lip hard, and blood was already covering the corners of her mouth.

But Shen Nian'an still refused to budge.

"Don't even think about it!"

"My master saved my life, and he avenged my great grudge."

"I, Shen Nian'an, have only one master! That master is... Su Yang!"

"You want me to become the servant of the Heavenly Demon Sword? You're just a mere sword, what are you? You dare to compare yourself to my master?!"

The Demon Sword Spirit: "..."

'Hmph! Stubborn fool! I admit you have a good spirit, but as long as you refuse to agree to become a servant of my Heavenly Demon Sword, you won't have a moment's peace.'

'The demonic energy within the Heavenly Demon Sword will continuously affect your mind, causing you unbearable pain, until you agree, or... die!'

The Heavenly Demon Sword Spirit snorted coldly and then made no further reaction.

However, the demonic energy emanating from the Heavenly Demon Sword was constantly eroding Shen Nian'an's body and mind, leaving her unable to live or die.

"puff!"

Shen Nian'an coughed up another mouthful of blood.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Nian'an's consciousness gradually faded until she completely lost consciousness.

However, the Heavenly Demon Sword seized this opportunity and immediately increased the supply of demonic energy, beginning to erode Shen Nian'an's body and soul.

However, at that moment, the protective and concealment array that Shen Nian'an had set up in the cave was suddenly activated.

Bang bang bang!

Within a few breaths, the formation shattered.

As Su Yang stepped into the valley, the first thing she saw was Shen Nian'an lying unconscious on the ground.

She was covered in blood, and thick, chaotic demonic energy permeated the entire cave.

Beside Shen Nian'an, there was a demonic sword stuck in the ground.

Su Yang frowned upon seeing this scene.

"This ancient aura is exactly the same as that of the Soul-Devouring Pearl..."

After Su Yang finished speaking, an inconspicuous glass bead appeared in her hand.

The spirit of the Soul-Devouring Pearl had fallen into a deep sleep because Ji Ruyan had forcibly overdrawn its energy. Now, it was just an ordinary glass bead.

But the moment Su Yang took out the Soul-Devouring Pearl, the Heavenly Demon Sword stuck in the crack in the ground suddenly trembled and made a continuous rumbling sound.

A flash of blood-red light suddenly appeared within the Soul-Devouring Pearl in Su Yang's hand.

Seeing the anomaly between the Heavenly Demon Sword and the Spirit Devouring Pearl, Su Yang's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly retrieved the Spirit Devouring Pearl into his spatial storage and suppressed it under the semi-divine artifact, the Fusang Tower, within the space.

The strange behavior of the Soul-Devouring Pearl gradually subsided.

After sensing the disappearance of the Soul-Devouring Pearl, the Heavenly Demon Sword became extremely agitated.

Several sword energies instantly erupted from within the Heavenly Demon Sword, attacking Su Yang.

"Huh? I didn't do anything to you!"

The sun god's fire surged forth, transforming into a golden sea of ​​fire in just a few breaths.

The sea of ​​fire easily engulfed the several sword energies that the Heavenly Demon Sword had instantly unleashed.

Immediately afterwards, the sea of ​​fire formed by the Sun God's fire also engulfed the Heavenly Demon Sword in an instant.

Then, Su Yang looked at the Heavenly Demon Sword, which was temporarily imprisoned by the Sun God Fire, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

This demonic sword seems to be related to the Soul-Devouring Pearl.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible for a strange movement to occur between them the moment she took out the Soul Devouring Pearl.

Her Sun God Fire was extremely righteous and yang, making it perfect for dealing with this strange demonic sword.

Su Yang temporarily suppressed the Heavenly Demon Sword before walking towards Shen Nian'an.

Shen Nian'an's current situation is very bad.

Based on the mark she had left on Shen Nian'an's soul, Su Yang could clearly sense a strange demonic energy within Shen Nian'an's body, which was powerfully damaging her meridians.

Even Shen Nian'an's soul is gradually being eroded by this demonic energy.

If Su Yang had arrived any later, it would have been long before Shen Nian'an's soul was completely controlled by this demonic energy.

"Is this the demonic sword?"

Su Yang didn't have time to think much; a wisp of chaotic spiritual energy surged in her hand.

This wisp of chaotic spiritual energy was quickly sent into Shen Nian'an's body by Su Yang.

After Su Yang's chaotic spiritual power came into contact with the demonic energy of the Heavenly Demon Sword, the demonic energy fled within Shen Nian'an's body like a stray dog.

After Su Yang realized this, a glint of light flashed in her eyes.

This strange demonic energy was also afraid of her chaotic spiritual power.

After that, Su Yang stopped probing and increased the flow of chaotic spiritual energy once again.

This continued for about fifteen minutes.

Finally, the demonic energy within Shen Nian'an's body was completely devoured by Su Yang's chaotic spiritual power.

But Shen Nian'an still did not wake up.

Su Yang was unable to resolve the demonic energy remaining in her soul.

The soul is the most vulnerable and core area of ​​a cultivator.
