There were a few who cultivated the Nine Child Mother Sky Demon in the world, but undoubtedly the most famous was Jiu Panpo.
Jiu Panpo, as the Sect Hierarch of the Red Body Sect, had also cultivated for a thousand years, and her cultivation of the Nine Child Mother Sky Demon had lasted seven to eight hundred years, making her name renowned far and wide.
The Red-haired Ancestor initially suspected that these demons were indeed cultivated by Jiu Panpo.
The real Demon Mother, Cold Centipede, captured his thoughts, thus peering into his heart from afar, and saw the image of Jiu Panpo in his memory.
She then transformed into the appearance of Jiu Panpo, her figure thin and small, with a short skirt made of leaves around her waist, wearing a feather-woven cloud shoulder, and holding a Jiu Staff, flying over from the other side of the mountain, until she reached near the Red-haired Ancestor.
The Red-haired Ancestor, seeing that it was indeed her, felt both surprised and quite troubled. He said in a deep voice, "I have no grudges with you, why did you make these demons take on the appearance of the beings from Evil Corpse Gu Chen and harm me through spells from a distance? What are your intentions by leading me here?"
Jiu Panpo said, "You have only yourself to blame for not knowing what's good for you, to actually provoke Master Yuan Yang! Master Shi and I share an inseparable bond, and by harming his disciples, you're as good as harming my children. How could I tolerate that? If they are unharmed, all is well, but if they are hurt in any way, I will definitely not spare you!"
The Red-haired Ancestor, upon hearing this, was extremely angry, thinking to himself what right did she have? Even if I'm wary of you and reluctant to engage in battle, you have no right to bully me to such an extent!
He suppressed his anger, "To be honest with you, pursuing Shi Feiyang was not my intention, but someone forced me to do so, and I had no choice."
Cold Centipede asked him, "You are a Hierarch on your own, who can force you if you don't want to do something? Let's hear it."
The Red-haired Ancestor said, "I can't tell you who it is. That senior's mana is exceedingly high, unmatched in the world. All I can say is that he came from the Eastern Extreme, and I owed him a huge favor years ago, and also fell into his hands, leaving me no choice."
"Came from the Eastern Extreme and can pressure you like this, could it be one of the Two Elders of the Great Wilderness?"
The Red-haired Ancestor neither confirmed nor denied, "Although only one has come, he's more than I can handle."
"Jiu Panpo" laughed, "If you truly do not wish this, why not switch sides and join us? We can go together to meet Master Shi, and with the three of us together, not to mention one, even if the Two Elders of the Great Wilderness were both here, what is there to fear?"
As for Jiu Panpo's true strength, although it wasn't up to the mark of the Cosmic Six Strange, it was only slightly lacking.
The Red-haired Ancestor estimated the gap in strength between himself and Elder Kuzhu, which was about two notches lower, and assumed that with the addition of Shi Feiyang, they should be more than able to handle Elder Kuzhu.
Seeing him moved, "Jiu Panpo" said with an aged smile, "If you truly regret it, let's go and meet Master Shi right away. I'll mediate between you both and ensure you turn foes into friends."
As she spoke, she flew directly towards the Red-haired Ancestor, her face wearing a kind and benevolent smile, seeming utterly harmless.
Just as she was about to get close, the Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Divine Saber suddenly acted on its own to protect its master, turning into a hundred feet long blood-red rainbow, coiling around him layer by layer, forming a wall of light, protecting him.
This saber was in tune with the Red-haired Ancestor's intentions, and he immediately realized something was off, "You are not Jiu Panpo?! Who are you really!"
"Hahaha." Cold Centipede laughed loudly, revealing her true appearance, a tall and leggy beauty, wearing no clothes but wrapped in a thin layer of red gauze around her body.
The red gauze was made from merfolk silk, which Shi Feiyang had specially refined and gifted to her.
Cold Centipede didn't like wearing clothes and didn't intend to. She wanted to seduce Shi Feiyang and take the active role, and it was more convenient to use the Heavenly Demon Great Technique in duels.
With her looks and figure, she didn't need to use any spells. Just by standing there, 99.999% of men's souls would automatically fly towards her.
Even Sword Immortals who had been cultivating for many years, if their Primordial Spirit wasn't Pure Yang and still contained some yin residue, would be unable to resist her allure. Once she used her magic, the remaining 99.999% would also be doomed, compelled by her magic, subjected to her whims.
For a person like Shi Feiyang who had Seen Dao, he was no longer bewitched by any worldly appearances.
He had specifically refined the garment for her, allowing her to wear it.
The gauze was thin and light, draped over her body like a slight mist, making crucial parts of her body partly visible, adding even more mystery and subconsciously encouraging closer scrutiny.
Shi Feiyang had told her her previous appearance lacked appeal, that this veiled allure stirred hearts more compellingly, doubling the efficacy of using various Heavenly Demon Great Techniques.
Usually, the Red-haired Ancestor wasn't interested in women, but seeing her like this, his heart raced and his blood boiled.
He roared, "You demon dare to deceive me by transforming, die quickly!"
He unleashed the Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Divine Saber, viciously aimed to slice her into thousands of pieces.
Cold Centipede smiled and split her body into nine, turning into nine different-looking but equally beautiful young women, each standing in front of a charming little boy, each boy holding a treasure sword emitting blood light.
"Nine Heavenly Demon Slaying Immortal Swords!"
The Red-haired Ancestor was greatly shocked.
Cold Centipede instructed her nine sons to each wield one of the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Swords. The demon swords merged, transforming into nine hundred-foot-long crimson rainbows that flew towards the Red-haired Ancestor, attempting to hack him to pieces.
She herself manifested into nine avatars, performing the Great Heavenly Demon Dance behind him. She circled around the Red-haired Ancestor, lifting her legs, beckoning with her hands, sometimes performing handstands and spinning, at other times spewing pink mist from her mouth, nose, and various other parts of her body. The mist was sticky and greasy yet fragrant and sweet, causing anyone who inhaled even a bit of it to feel their whole body heat up and weaken, their True Qi becoming chaotic and their Divine Soul trembling.
The Red-haired Ancestor also felt the essence energy and Divine Soul within his body becoming uncontrollable, wandering erratically.
If this kept up, he would either rush forward into her clutches, completely at her mercy, or he would suffer a deviation—not the cultivation kind.
During cultivation, a deviation would likely result in him becoming rigid, partially paralyzed, or even turning into a zombie. His deviation would kindle the Heart Fire within him, burning him to ashes from the inside out!
Not only was the Heavenly Demon Great Technique unbearable for him, but he also couldn't resist the nine Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Swords.
The nine small demons performed Flying Escape, constantly appearing and disappearing unpredictably, already possessing infinite divine skills. Now, each equipped with one Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword, the merger of swords augmented their powers. They encircled the Red-haired Ancestor and formed a blender of sorts, with millions of sword blades grinding inward. Even an iron mountain would be instantly reduced to slag.
The Red-haired Ancestor, with his Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Divine Saber, fought desperately. He bit his tongue, spurting Essence Blood, but still couldn't resist.
He released the Five Cloud Peach Blossom Miasma, but it was only effective against living beings with physical bodies and completely useless against purely spiritually-formed Essence Energy demons and spirits.
He then released seven Magical Treasures like the Asura Blood Transformation Nail and the Demon Cloud Poison Needle, all of which were pulverized by the Immortal Slaying Swords!
After a short confrontation, one of the little demons shouted loudly, sliced one of his thousand-year centipede Demon God avatars in half.
The Red-haired Ancestor's heart and mind were severely damaged. He hastily started casting, trying to help the two halves of the Demon God reform with his own True Qi. However, they were swiftly seized by the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Swords. The sword light surged and instantly scattered them into millions of fragmented souls.
The little demon laughed gleefully as the sword light of the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Swords flickered, forcibly absorbing all the fragmented souls into the sword!
Originally, six Demon Gods supporting the Red-haired Ancestor made fighting these Nine Child Mother Sky Demons barely feasible. Now, with one less, the situation was increasingly dire.
Soon another Red Snake Primordial Spirit was minced and absorbed by another little demon's sword, used as a supplement.
The Red-haired Ancestor was extremely anxious and influenced by the Mother Demon, his whole body's channels boiling, nearly beyond his control.
But he was a ruthless man; making a decisive decision, he sent the remaining four Demon Gods over, allowing the little demons to devour them. At the same time, he used the Six Yang Dissolution Great Technique, dissociating his head and limbs in an instant. He manipulated the Five Elements within himself and the natural Five Elements to create a momentary spatial-temporal chaos within a certain range.
Six Demon Gods, nine little demons, and there were not enough to go around. Furthermore, their greed led them to snatch from each other. Those who had obtained one still wanted another, and those who hadn't were determined to obtain one, resulting in disputes breaking out among them.
Just then, the Red-haired Ancestor's body exploded into six blood clots, his flesh and Essence Energy expanding dramatically, about to trigger a cataclysmic explosion.
The nine witches shouted at the little demons, "A feast before us! What are you fighting over? Come join me in consuming it at once!"
Though the little demons were naughty, their mother's words were particularly effective, and they immediately stopped fighting, opening their mouths wide.
All eighteen demon sprouts opened their mouths and fervently sucked in the blood energy that filled the sky.
If allowed to fully expand, the blood energy and Demon Light released in desperation by the Red-haired Ancestor would have flattened every mountain within hundreds of miles!
However, as the eighteen demons sucked voraciously, though the magic exploded, its range was limited. The blood energy expanded thousands of miles, dyeing the heavens and earth red, but the explosion's core only caused half of Tu Cui Peak and the opposite Lush Peach Mountain to collapse, sending a massive amount of rubble tumbling into the swamp below.
Then, in about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the demons absorbed all the blood energy.
Clarity returned to the heavens and earth.
Giant elephant dragons pre-positioned in the sky and small elephant dragons hidden in the swamp flew over to meet each other: "Just now, with the Four Elements in motion and the Five Elements in disarray, mountains collapsed, and the earth split. We were supposed to come and stop it as instructed but couldn't withstand the force of the explosion. That guy got away!"
The Demon Mother recovered all into one, collected the little demons and nine swords: "Don't blame yourself. It was his destiny to escape death. Let's head to his lair now!"
The demon took out the Yu Ding, capturing both large and small elephant dragons and hurried to the Red Wood Ridge. There, he came upon Lin Han and Shi Sheng, accompanied by Situ Ping, Ouyang Hong, Luo Lu, and Qiu Zhixian, a total of six people in a duel with Hong Changbao and others. The six brothers had stirred up chaos at Heavenly Dog Cliff, having already shattered the Divine Wood Palace and incinerated the centuries-old palace, causing several collapses inside the caverns of Heavenly Dog Cliff.
The stone peaks of the Heavenly Dog Flat outside were also mostly shattered and collapsed, with Demon Fire and Blood Flame everywhere. The six split into three teams, crisscrossing through the Demon Formation, darting back and forth.
In terms of genuine mana, Lin Han and others couldn't break the Array here.
Firstly, Elder Kuzhu had taken the Green Spirit Bamboo used previously by the Red-haired Ancestor when setting up the formation, so that Array no longer existed.
Secondly, the Flying Sword Magical Treasures on Lin Han and Shi Sheng were too powerful, especially the Nanming Leaving Fire Sword and Xuan Guang Ruler, along with the Soundless Divine Thunder, causing Hong Changbao and Xin Chenzi to suffer one setback after another.
Hong Changbao was so furious he felt his lungs could explode. He tried everything, activating the Red-haired Ancestor's triple Array while forcing a disciple to cast the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Great Technique. They moved a mountain from miles away, intending to completely crush and obliterate the six brothers.
Xin Chenzi also pulled his weight, hurriedly cooperating in casting, flying to the edge of the cliff, and with a wave of his hands, turned ten onlookers into blood energy. Essence Qi and Primordial Spirit mingled with shattered bones and torn flesh, transforming into ten streams of blood energy. Using the evil techniques passed down by the Green Robe Ancestor, he completely sealed off the airspace around them, preventing Lin Han and his group from escaping.
