My Fairy Growth System-Chapter 432 - 431 Qi Rui Plots Against Tojo Kikiji

Yu Qingtan, along with several Divine Transformation Venerables, stepped into Mount Amaterasu, only to see volcanic ash permeating the air, magma flowing freely, and an abundance of demonic aura. Everyone had to use Dao Techniques to protect themselves, allowing them to withstand the harsh environment.

"This demonic aura is so thick, any who have fallen to demon influence must be extraordinary," the Yao Guang Venerable said in a deep voice, his long sword flashing with cold light.

"Yes, I can feel his strength continuously increasing. We must find him and suppress him as soon as possible!" Shouheng Venerable nodded in agreement, releasing a powerful Divine Sense to search for the traces of the demon-possessed individual.

The group plunged into the volcano crater. Despite the high temperature of the flowing magma, it could not harm Yu Qingtan and the others, who had their protective Dao Techniques activated.

As they descended deeper, everyone was meticulously searching for traces of the demon-possessed person. Suddenly, Yu Qingtan felt a stirring in her heart—her Divine Sense had located the demon-possessed person.

As expected, the demon-possessed individual turned out to be Tojo Kikiji, a Divine Transformation Cultivator from Sakura Island, hidden away. After being defeated and fleeing from Demon Venerable Bai Chen, it was unexpected that he had run here and become demon-possessed.

However, Yu Qingtan didn’t speak out immediately, as she didn’t want to reveal her own transformation into Divinity Transformation and her powerful Divine Sense just yet.

"Found him!" Suddenly, the Yao Guang Venerable shouted and dove swiftly in one direction; the rest quickly followed suit.

Soon, all of them saw in the nearby magma a figure, several meters tall, quietly suspended, his eyes tightly shut and his body emitting a fierce demonic aura.

"Tojo Kikiji, wasn’t he long gone?" Shouheng Venerable exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the person’s face.

"Hmph, he definitely faked his death, secretly hid himself, and even advanced to the Divinity Transformation Stage. It’s clear as day the wild ambitions of Sakura Island’s Wild Cultivator. Now that he’s demon-possessed, we need to press forward with his suppression and execution!"

Wanxiong Venerable said, and then his Lifebound Artifact, the Chopping Axe, was already slashing down, sending a sharp Saber Qi straight towards Tojo Kikiji.

Facing the intense killing force of the Saber Qi, Tojo Kikiji suddenly opened his eyes, which were blood red, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Holding a long sword in his hand, he gently drew it forward.

A sharp and demonically charged Sword Qi tore through the magma, easily shredding Wanxiong Venerable’s Saber Qi, and charged directly towards Wanxiong Venerable.

"Divine Transformation Mid Stage!" Wanxiong Venerable was shocked, his body covered with the pitch-black Killing Aura Armor as he swung the Pig Slaughtering Knife repeatedly, barely blocking this attack but still being forced to retreat continuously.

The group had initially assumed that Tojo Kikiji, who had resorted to unjust means to just barely reach the Divine Transformation Mid Stage and had then become demon-possessed, would not possess the combat strength of a mid-stage cultivator. Yet, the casual strike from his Lifebound Artifact, the Grass Pheasant Sword, had such formidable power.

However, the group did not panic, for among them was the Yao Guang Sword Venerable, also a Divine Transformation Mid Stage Cultivator famous for his attacking prowess as an Outer Sword Sword Cultivator.

Sure enough, the Yao Guang Sword Venerable drew his Lifebound Artifact, the Yao Guang Sword, hacking repeatedly. Many Sword Qis formed a special array, surrounding Tojo Kikiji.

The rest weren’t idle either, attacking Tojo Kikiji with various methods. Wanxiong Venerable kept slashing out Saber Qis, Lianxing Venerable cast the Dao Technique Star Fire Chains, Shouheng Venerable used the Dao Technique Heaven and Earth Prison, and Liangchen Venerable launched illusions with his Lifebound Artifact, the Liangchen Fan’s attack of Liangchen Beautiful Scenery.

Even Yu Qingtan, wielding her Lifebound Artifact, the Five Elements Canglan Sword, executed the Five Elements Extermination Slash. Although she only displayed the strength of the Nascent Soul Late Stage, her attack’s power was comparable to the Divinity Transformation Early Stage, causing everyone to turn and look.

However, now was not the time to fuss over Yu Qingtan’s strength. Facing the attack of the crowd, a hint of mockery flashed in Tojo Kikiji’s eyes as a staff appeared above his head, emitting a dazzling light even amidst the lava. Enjoy new chapters from novelbuddy

"The Celestial Illuminating Staff, Tianzhao Divine Light!" Yu Qingtan narrowed her eyes, immediately recognizing it as the Holy Artifact, the Celestial Illuminating Staff of Sakura Island. Last time, Tojo Kikiji had sacrificed a hundred million cultivators inside the staff to make his escape.

By now, Tojo Kikiji had actually gained the recognition of the Celestial Illuminating Staff, unleashing its true power.

The Tianzhao Divine Light burst forth from the top of the staff, instantly illuminating the entire lava world, a difficult-to-describe aura of sanctity and brutality interwoven and spreading everywhere.

Under this illumination, everyone’s attacks seemed pale and powerless, each being dissolved by the divine light.

"This is bad, the power of the Celestial Illuminating Staff far surpasses our imagination!" Yao Guang Venerable exclaimed, her sword qi and the attacks from others melted like ice and snow before the divine light, vanishing in an instant. Even the remnants of the divine light counterattacked, forcing everyone except the Divine Transformation Mid Stage Yao Guang Venerable to use protective techniques to avoid injury.

"This power has already reached the Divinity Transformation Late Stage, how can it be so strong!" Wanxiong Venerable said in disbelief.

"Origin True Body, Yao Guang Demon-vanishing!" The Yao Guang Sword Venerable, within hundreds of feet of her Sword Dao Origin True Body, shouted fiercely. The similarly enlarged Yao Guang Sword, carrying a devastating force, slashed towards Tojo Kikiji.

"True Demon Descent, Tianzhao Strike!" Unexpectedly, Tojo Kikiji’s body also swelled, emitting a terrifying demonic aura. With a loud shout, he swung the Celestial Illuminating Staff down.

"Bang, bang, bang~" The collision of the Yao Guang Sword and the Celestial Illuminating Staff created a huge impact sound, sending lava flying in all directions. Yu Qingtan and others quickly pulled back to avoid being affected by the residual effects of the battle.

"Pfft~" Within her Origin True Body, Yao Guang Sword Venerable spat out a mouthful of blood. She had lost in this collision, suffering severe injuries, while Tojo Kikiji appeared completely unharmed. However, he did not continue to attack but instead watched everyone mockingly.

"You can speak, you aren’t possessed by demons?" Shouheng Venerable said incredulously. Everyone knew the possessed were muddled and only capable of brutal slaughter, not capable of speaking so clearly and with such rich expressions.

"That voice, you’re not Tojo Kikiji, you’re Qi Rui!" Yu Qingtan also said in disbelief. This person was not speaking the language of Sakura Island and had no trace of a Sakura Island accent. More importantly, she recognized the voice; it was indeed Qi Rui, the former Family Head of the Qis from Suichuan Immortal City.

"Hahaha, I’ve never said I was possessed, nor have I said I am Tojo Kikiji. I didn’t expect Fairy Qingtan would still recognize this old man!" a gigantic figure laughed heartily amid the flowing lava.

Indeed, this person was Qi Rui who had used the entire Qi family as a sacrifice to forge the Rebirth Pill and then seized Qi Hong’s body. His cultivation path since then had been incredibly smooth, filled with continuous fortunate encounters. He not only received the inheritance of the Ancient True Demon but also took Tojo Kikiji as his master.

However, neither master nor disciple harbored any good intentions; Tojo Kikiji considered, in case his alchemy of the Yin Yang Heaven Defying Pill failed, he could seize Qi Rui, whereas Qi Rui coveted everything Tojo Kikiji owned.

After Yu Qingtan sabotaged Tojo Kikiji’s grand alchemy plan, Qi Rui seized the opportunity, eliminated Tojo Kikiji, and consequently advanced through the Divinity Transformation Early Stage and Divinity Transformation Mid Stage continuously.

At this moment, he was cultivating the path of the Ancient True Demon. Although it seemed like he was possessed, he actually wasn’t. Utilizing the Celestial Illuminating Staff and the power of the True Demon, his strength was comparable to the Divinity Transformation Late Stage.
