In my twilight years of cultivating, I became a Supreme Daoist of the Longevity Path-Chapter 953
Chapter 953: 384: Mid-stage Nascent Soul Sect Leader Chen!
The flesh demonic body of the Demon Lord Chapter 953: 384: Mid-stage Nascent Soul Sect Leader Chen!
The flesh demonic body of the Demon Lord Within the expansive stone cavern, a group of old demons with formidable spiritual might gathered, numbering more than a dozen, all with faces unfamiliar to Chen Dengming.
However, by comparing them to the portraits of some demon elders he had seen in the past, Chen Dengming quickly identified several of them.
They were notably the Demon Child of the Sky Demon Sect, the Mosha Prince of Mosha Country, and even the ruler of the Nightmare Kingdom.
If you add in the Soul Devouring Old Demon who had reforged his Nascent Soul, almost all of the most formidable Nascent Soul old demons from the Western Region had arrived.
Beyond these old demons, the other seven present were by no means insignificant figures either.

Chen Dengming recognized two of them; one should be Ouyang Fu, one of the most powerful Demon Monarchs in the Demon Palace besides the Outer Domain Devil Lord, and the other was the Ruthless Old Demon from the Heartless Path of the Demon Sects.
Among the four paths of the Demon Sects—Heartless, Extermination, Reckless, and Ruthless—Tao Tian, the Ruthless Old Demon, had perished at his hands, his Nascent Soul even aiding Chen Dengming in a significant way.
Nalan Huishan, the deputy master of the Reckless Path, had also died by his hand.
One could say that he had already offended half of the four paths of the Demon Sects.
Now, among those seated, there must also be old demons from the four paths.
Chen Dengming lurked within the spirit of the Soul Devouring Old Demon, closely observing and listening.
It gradually became clear that these formidable figures of the Magical Way were discussing matters related to the recent actions of the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance in gathering strong fighters.
“The intelligence leaked so fast?
Elder Wu of the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance had just informed me, and this group of demon heads already knows the plans the Cultivator Alliance is about to execute.”
Chen Dengming was shocked, but after giving it some thought, he did not feel surprised.
The Counterattack Cultivator Alliance, in making overt and covert contacts with many Nascent Soul powerhouses, wouldn’t take small actions, and he wasn’t the first they had found.
Connecting with so many people, it would suffice for just one to have an issue for the message to leak.
At this moment, as Chen Dengming listened to the old demons’ discussions, it was evident they were planning to counteract by fighting back with counter-schemes.
They even listed some Nascent Soul True Monarchs who had been invited to join the battle as targets for a hunting strike, discussing measures for targeted attacks.
Unfortunately, he was clearly among the targets they planned to hunt down.
But fortunately, he was listening to a bunch of old demon heads discussing how to use plots and schemes to hunt him down.
The so-called knowing the enemy and knowing oneself will lead to victory in a hundred battles.
What could be more thrilling than listening on-site to the enemy analyzing one’s weaknesses?
“Fighting Longevity Monarch is powerful in both spirit and body, his physical strength is also terrifying, even surpassing that of ordinary Body Cultivators.
It is rumored that this is likely related to the legacy of the Human Immortal Dao he has received, which is no longer a secret as of now.
Let me say this before we proceed: my master is very interested in the Dao legacy he possesses…
If you fail to intercept this person, my master, if available, will personally take action to kill him, and you will all earn great merit,” the Demon Monarch sitting in the chief seat spoke in a somber tone.
A jolt went through Chen Dengming’s mind, like he had heard a thunderclap.
The master of the Demon Monarch is none other than the Outer Domain Devil Lord.
This old codger was petty; Chen Dengming had once destroyed one of his split souls by leveraging the Heavenly Will, and now it seemed the other party was truly targeting him.
The many old demons sitting and listening around him all had their thoughts stirred upon hearing this.
The secret of the Fighting Longevity Monarch inheriting the Human Immortal Dao System, besides holding the Heavenly Immortal Dao Unification, was only gradually discovered after the investigation following the death of the Ruthless Old Demon, Tao Tian.
And it was apparent that the Demon Lord was aware of this fact long ago, but he didn’t share this news initially, which was thought-provoking.
If this news had been made public earlier, perhaps even the Ruthless Old Demon, Tao Tian, would not have been so careless and arrogant, and might not have died as a result.
But now that things had come to this, these old demon heads naturally wouldn’t say anything on the surface, but they also won’t be so easily used as puppets for some mere merits.
“Although the Fighting Longevity Monarch is just a Nascent Soul Cultivator who has only recently broken through, because he has inherited the Heavenly Immortal Dao, his mana is mighty, comparable to an ordinary mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator, and his two types of Dao Force are troublesome to deal with…
Taking him down won’t be easy; it might require you, the Demon Monarch, to take action personally.”
“Indeed, his Spirit & Divine Sense is powerful, and his physical strength may not even be certainly surpassed by ordinary late Nascent Soul stage Body Cultivators.
Moreover, he has slain so many fellow Nascent Soul Cultivators and doesn’t lack powerful Magic Treasures.
The only possible weakness might be the amount of mana and Dao Force; to take him down, one must use overwhelming force.”
The Soul Devouring Old Demon, sitting among the crowd, felt somewhat bewildered, his long-suppressed hatred and rage now slowly icing over, gradually threatening to be extinguished.
Seven years ago, when he heard that the Sect Leader of the Longevity Sect, the Fighting Longevity Monarch, had slain many Nascent Soul True Monarchs of his faction, he thought the Longevity Sect had brought forth some formidable character and was astonished.
Only after extensive investigation did he find out that the Fighting Longevity Monarch was actually the Longevity Daozi of the past.
When he first heard such news, he was shocked for a long time, questioning his life.
Now, witnessing the way these fellow Daoists beside him were so wary of the young man who he had once chased to the ends of the earth, the Soul Devouring Old Demon felt a wave of profound desolation.
Having only just recovered to the early stage of Nascent Soul, his power was not enough to engage in the plan to hunt down the Fighting Longevity Monarch; moving forward would merely mean delivering himself as a valorous contribution.
There was a time when he was the imposing Soul Devouring Old Demon, now reduced to such a dire state.
“Listening to these old demons talk like this, am I really that strong now?
They’re all overestimating me too much…”
Chen Dengming, hidden in the depths of the Soul Devouring Old Demon’s spirit, also felt the old demon’s mental state.
Yet instead of feeling pleased at being taken so seriously by so many Nascent Soul old monsters, he felt more troubled.
