Chapter 14
A Perilous Situation, the Seven Wonders of Plum Mountain!

“Tsk tsk, even with all those life-saving abilities, this three-headed Jiao was still captured and will soon be used as a sacrifice. No matter how many lives it has, it won’t be enough.”

Lin Xuan couldn’t help but be stunned. This three-headed Jiao had such terrible luck.

However, when he saw another black tag above the three-headed Jiao’s head, he understood the reason.

This creature, like the evil Jiao demon king he had encountered before, had the black tag 【Bound by Karma】, destined to face death!

He had seen many such demon kings. Most demon races were evil and had committed countless acts of slaughter, which is why the Heavenly Court sent troops to capture and eliminate them. Otherwise, the Heavenly Court would be too busy to even bother, as they were short-staffed.

With a large amount of killing karma, a black tag called 【Bound by Karma】 might appear, a giant “death” written on their heads!

Just like this three-headed Jiao, no matter how strong its life-saving abilities were, it would soon meet its demise.

“But for me, these life-saving abilities are incredibly important.”

A hint of heat flashed in Lin Xuan’s eyes. These tags on the three-headed Jiao, especially that golden tag Three Lives Reincarnation, made him incredibly envious!

In his opinion, in the Primordial World, life-saving abilities were definitely the most important, surpassing all other abilities!

Strong killing techniques? High-level alchemy skills? Abundant treasures? None of these were as important as life-saving abilities, because surviving was the true victory. Only by living could one have any possibilities!

If one merely pursued pure strength, but lacked strong life-saving abilities, then even the strongest beings would eventually face their doom. One day, they would meet their end.

Even the Ancient Demon Ancestor, Luohou, who competed with the Dao Ancestor Hongjun for the title of the strongest in the Primordial World, was incredibly powerful and fierce, but ultimately met his demise, unable to even escape, resorting to self-destruction!

“With the three-headed Jiao’s Three Lives Reincarnation ability, I should be able to survive the upcoming grand subjugation without much trouble.”

Lin Xuan secretly thought. The Primordial World was too dangerous. He might encounter enemies he couldn’t defeat. In such situations, these tags of the three-headed Jiao would be incredibly useful, a true lifesaver for his current situation.

He waited for a while outside the Execution Platform. Soon, the eve of the Grand Subjugation arrived, and it was time to start sacrificing demons as flags.

Clack! !

The Execution Platform began the execution. The Executioner’s Axe descended, its edge infinite. No matter how much the three-headed Jiao struggled, no matter how magical its abilities were, it instantly perished!

As for its other two lives, they were probably already killed by the Heavenly officials during the capture.

At this moment, as the three-headed Jiao died, several tags fell to the ground. Lin Xuan’s eyes lit up, his excitement hard to suppress.

The system notification sounded in his mind.

……………………

【Ding, detected mergeable tags: Bound by Karma (Black), Concealment (Red), Blood Escape (Red), False Death Substitute (Red), High-Grade Innate Foundation (Gold), Three Lives Reincarnation (Gold)】

【Do you wish to merge? Yes/No?】

……………………

Lin Xuan didn’t hesitate for a moment. Except for that useless black tag, he immediately chose to merge all the other tags!

Several life-saving tags and a golden foundation tag merged into his body. The foundation tag merged with his previous red tag ‘Innate Foundation’, becoming the golden tag ‘High-Grade Innate Foundation’. The quality of its essence was definitely better than before. After all, there were differences in quality even for the same grade of foundation talent.

Becoming a High-Grade Innate Foundation being, Lin Xuan felt that his cultivation talent, comprehension, affinity with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and even his luck had all increased significantly. Even his physical body and primordial spirit had grown stronger, becoming even more powerful!

This was a permanent enhancement, which made him very happy. With the addition of Three Lives Reincarnation and other tags, his life-saving abilities reached full potential, giving him a sense of security.

Even if he encountered a stronger enemy, as long as he remained low-key and blended into the crowd, he should be able to survive!

At this moment, with the three-headed Jiao slain, the thousands of Heavenly soldiers were invigorated, their fear completely gone!

Then, as war flags fluttered and war drums beat, a towering, stalwart Golden Immortal cultivator carrying two battle axes and a Golden Immortal wearing a crimson robe, his beard and hair red, as if flames were constantly burning, simultaneously appeared in the void.

They were the Golden Immortal cultivators leading the charge: Juggernaut and Fire Virtue Star King!

“Form ranks, prepare for battle!”

Juggernaut and Fire Virtue Star King gave orders separately, urging their Heavenly Generals to quickly gather their troops and prepare for the grand subjugation in the lower realms!

Lin Xuan keenly noticed that among Juggernaut’s Heavenly Generals, many were from the physical body cultivation lineage like General Chen. Meanwhile, almost all of Fire Virtue Star King’s Heavenly Generals were from the primordial spirit lineage!

Among them, General Wang, who had a conflict with him before, was actually under Fire Virtue Star King’s command. Seeing Lin Xuan, he didn’t give him a good look.

Lin Xuan shrugged. He didn’t care what others thought of him. He led his 400 Heavenly soldiers to form a battle formation, gathering behind his superior, the Physical Body cultivation Heavenly General, Chen, who was at the peak of the Xuan Immortal Realm.

Soon, led by Juggernaut and Fire Virtue Star King, a vast army of Heavenly soldiers descended to the lower realms, heading straight for Mount Mei.

Most Heavenly soldiers were full of confidence, looking at the two Golden Immortals standing at the forefront with reverence and fanaticism.

With these two leading the charge, the Golden Immortal demon king of Mount Mei wouldn’t even dare to engage in a battle, right?

Furthermore, according to intelligence, apart from a few demon kings, there were no smaller demons on Mount Mei. If that was the case, most of them were just there to bolster the ranks. At most, the Heavenly Generals would need to deal with the Xuan Immortal demons.

Soon, the army of Heavenly soldiers arrived near Mount Mei.

However, before Juggernaut and Fire Virtue Star King could challenge the mountain, the demon kings of Mount Mei sensed their aura. They immediately unleashed bursts of demonic energy that soared into the sky!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Underneath the three streams of dark demonic energy, three figures gradually emerged. Looking at the Heavenly Court army outside, they let out strange, eerie laughter.

As expected, one Golden Immortal early stage and two Xuan Immortals!

Lin Xuan saw these three demon kings emerge and couldn’t help but sigh in relief.

The Heavenly Court’s intelligence was indeed reliable and accurate.

However, at this moment.

Just as Juggernaut and Fire Virtue Star King were about to speak, an unexpected change occurred.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the eyes of all the shocked Heavenly soldiers, four terrifying demonic energies soared from Mount Mei, turning the ten-thousand-mile clear sky into a black demonic cloud!

Together with the previous three, there were seven demon kings!

Among them, five had the aura of the Xuan Immortal Realm, and two had the aura of the Golden Immortal Realm!

Especially the strongest Golden Immortal aura, sweeping forward, the terrifying blood energy was like a mountain pressing down, making everyone terrified, even Juggernaut and Fire Virtue Star King changed their expressions, becoming as wary as if facing a mortal enemy!

Clearly, the Heavenly Court’s intelligence was wrong. There were seven demon kings on Mount Mei!

“Oh, well……”

Lin Xuan watched this scene, slightly stunned, and unconsciously took a step back behind everyone else.
