Chapter 630: The Battlefield of Immortals and Demons

As soon as they entered the Battlefield of Immortals and Demons, Su Che released the six members of Lianyi from their Dao artifacts. This was not only to fulfill his promise to “take them to the Battlefield of Immortals and Demons” but also to gain additional allies who could help contain Lin Jiu and his group to some extent.

Although he had said earlier, “Without me, they won’t be able to get out,” this was merely a threat and not 100% certain. It was hard to say whether they had other plans or truly felt concerned. After all, they were all Xuanxians of the immortal realm with sacred duties, and it was possible they possessed special methods to turn the situation around. Su Che was fully aware of this and knew he must not underestimate them.

Lianyi and the others all possessed the cultivation level of Heavenly Immortals. With their combined efforts, they posed a significant threat to Lin Jiu and his group. In any case, they could be considered a great help to Su Che…

“Is this the Battlefield of Immortals and Demons?”

As soon as they appeared, the six members of Lianyi exclaimed in shock. But the moment they spoke, they felt an extremely dense and oppressive demonic aura rushing at them. It was like a drowning person trying to call for help only to swallow more water—a terrifying sensation.

“What thick demonic aura!”
The six members of Lianyi didn’t dare speak further. They immediately sat in seiza position, using all their strength to resist the demonic energy that surrounded them like a raging flood. They had no time to worry about anything else and had to quickly adjust to the environment.

On the other side, You Lin, Lin Jiu, and the nine Demon Sealing Envoys also sat in seiza position, regulating their inner energy to restore their immortal power. They also needed time to adapt to such intense demonic aura.

Inside the gloomy Battlefield of Immortals and Demons, the density of the primordial demonic aura was almost solid—thousands, tens of thousands, even countless times worse than when they were in the spatial passage of Thunder Star!

The demonic energy was everywhere, filling the entire world and completely replacing air. With every movement, one could clearly feel the strong resistance created by its solidification around them.

Even Xuanxians like the Demon Sealing Envoys, who had innate resistance to demons, felt extreme discomfort upon encountering such dense demonic aura. They needed to adapt using special methods for a while before they could move normally.

At this moment, the only one still standing was Su Che.

Although Su Che, like the others, was also under the fierce assault of the primordial demonic aura, the presence of the Immortal Prison allowed him to largely ignore it.

“I told you! The demonic energy here is absolutely amazing!”
Lao He was even more excited and shouted, “What a great environment this is! Spending a year here is equivalent to spending a thousand years in that spatial passage on Thunder Star! Haha, at least a thousand years!”
What a great environment indeed?
If others heard this, they might think that Su Che was actually one of the Origin Demons, capable of expressing such joy of being back where he belongs.
At this moment, Su Che didn’t have time to bicker with Lao He. Instead, he pondered, “Should I take this opportunity to leave them behind and act on my own?”
“Although Lin Jiu and the others are cautious and won’t dare act against me for now, it’s hard to say in the long run. Besides, staying with them makes me feel uneasy; I’m always worried about them plotting against me…”
“However, the entry requirement for the Immortal-Demon Battlefield is a ‘team of ten.’ There must be a reason for that. If I leave the group and act alone, I might face even greater dangers…”
After much thought, Su Che still believed that since he had just entered the Immortal-Demon Battlefield and knew nothing about its environment, acting alone would be too risky—a potentially disastrous decision.
Lao He agreed, “Yes, master. Let’s wait and see the situation. It’s not time to get rid of them yet.”
Su Che nodded inwardly, calmed down, and stood there patiently waiting. Of course, the Immortal Prison Pagoda was constantly absorbing demonic energy, storing it all in its space for Su Che to use in his cultivation later.
Seeing Su Che standing there so calmly, adjusting his internal energy, Lin Jiu felt resentful. Though he showed no outward reaction, he privately sent a message to Guang Qi, “With such dense demonic energy, that kid can remain unfazed. It seems he truly has the ability to absorb and transform Origin Demonic Energy…”
“That’s inevitable,” Guang Qi replied via message. “Otherwise, how could such an opportunity fall to him?”
“It has to be this kid!” Lin Jiu’s tone was filled with obvious jealousy, implying, Why him and not me?
As a powerful Xuanxian, communicating via messages didn’t affect his adjustment of internal energy, nor did he have to worry about others eavesdropping.

Although Lao Hei’s detection ability allowed him to eavesdrop on others’ private communications within a certain range, Lin Jiu and Guang Qi were far too powerful, and the gap between immortals and mortals was insurmountable. As such, he couldn’t even detect that they were communicating via telepathy, let alone eavesdrop on them.

Lin Jiu asked again, “What do you think? If he dies, will we really be unable to leave the Immortal-Demon Battlefield?”

“I don’t think so!” Guang Qi replied calmly, showing confidence in his judgment. “I believe it’s true that without him we can’t enter, but I wouldn’t underestimate myself to the point of thinking we can’t leave once he’s gone… Besides, we still have the ‘Boundary-Piercing Talisman’ given to us by the sect leader. Returning to the Immortal Realm should be no problem.”

The Boundary-Piercing Talisman was an extremely high-grade talisman in the Immortal Realm. It was said that even if one were trapped inside the most advanced immortal artifacts, this talisman could allow them to traverse space and return to the greater universe.

Not only in artifact spaces, but even if trapped in an enemy’s private domain or a deadly formation, one could use the talisman to break through space and escape safely.

In other words, its function was to penetrate special spaces and return to the greater universe. But conversely, it couldn’t be used to force entry into someone else’s controlled special spaces.

Though not omnipotent, this talisman was indeed a valuable tool for escaping encirclement.

“The Boundary-Piercing Talisman…” Lin Jiu also had one, but he seemed lacking confidence at the moment, muttering to himself, “Can the Boundary-Piercing Talisman really break through the spatial barrier of the Immortal-Demon Battlefield and let me return to the Immortal Realm safely? It seems a bit uncertain to me.”

As if sensing Lin Jiu’s concerns, Guang Qi spoke with a hint of amusement, saying, “There’s always a way when you reach the mountain, and the path will clear when you reach the bridge. Young Lin, there’s no need to worry. Being able to enter the Immortal-Demon Battlefield is our fortune and opportunity—it certainly won’t be a disaster!”

“If that’s the case, can we go after Tian Yu now?” Lin Jiu asked darkly.

“No rush. Let’s see first.”

Guang Qi’s reply remained calm, “After all, he’s just an ordinary person at the Tribulation stage. No matter how amazing he is, he can’t escape our grasp. Keeping him alive for now might even prove useful in unexpected ways.”

After thinking for a moment, Lin Jiu agreed, “Alright, then let him live a few more days.”

A faint smile tugged at Guangqi’s lips, as if everything was under his control and calculation…
Inside the Immortal-Demon Battlefield, the air was thick with intense Origin Magic Energy. There was certainly no Immortal Spirit Energy available for the immortals to absorb. Therefore, the Nine Sealing Demons had to rely on certain special conditions to restore their Immortal Essence.
For example, the Immortal Spirit Energy stored in the spaces of immortal artifacts, or holding one or two high-grade Immortal Crystals.
After all, true Xuan Immortals were different from ordinary people. In just over an hour, the three chief Sealing Demons stood up first, looking energetic and radiant…
Clearly, they had not only restored their Immortal Essence power but also fully adapted to the environment, each finding effective ways to resist the erosion of the magic energy.
Su Che could see with the naked eye that the translucent Origin Magic Energy was blocked by a faint divine glow surrounding their bodies, preventing it from invading their bodies and thus eliminating the risk of being corrupted by magic.
Of course, such a vivid visual scene could only be seen through Su Che’s eyes. Since the day he sensed the Immortal-Demon Battlefield calling to him, his eyes had changed, allowing him to see things that others could not.
At least, that was the case inside the Immortal-Demon Battlefield.
As for the six members of the Ripple Group, they still hadn’t found the most effective way to resist magic and were struggling to hold on.
The methods they used in the spatial passage of Thunder Star were quite effective against the thinner magic energy, but once they entered the Immortal-Demon Battlefield, the density of the magic energy far exceeded expectations—it was no longer just “gas” but more like being submerged in an extremely viscous liquid. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it was extremely difficult to move.
Suddenly, Su Che noticed that Hei Ya, who was meditating with closed eyes, showed signs of distress. Soon after, his face turned pale, and he began to tremble slightly.
This was a precursor to mild corruption by magic.
“He can’t hold on!” Su Che thought. “Although the Immortal-Demon Battlefield is a great opportunity, one still needs a life to enjoy it.”
Before Su Che could decide whether to help him, he saw Lao Niu, sitting next to Hei Ya, also showing signs of mild corruption, just a step behind.
“If neither of them makes it, they will clearly be eliminated without help from others.”

They had already come in and seized this opportunity. It would indeed be a great pity, a rather ironic thing, if they were eliminated due to being possessed by evil forces. Su Che felt pity for them and also needed their strength to fight against Lin Jiu and the others together… So, without hesitation, he stepped forward and placed his left and right hands on the chests of Black Crow and Old Ox respectively. Sensing someone touching them, Black Crow and Old Ox, who were on the verge of falling into despair, became even more terrified. They thought that just as they were about to fall off the cliff, someone else wanted to push them further down… Whoosh! Their fearful eyes widened instantly, and only then did they realize that the person behind them was Su Che. Without any words or explanations, they both understood that Su Che wasn’t trying to push them but rather to pull them back from the brink of despair. Their expressions instantly changed by 180 degrees, filled not only with gratitude but also with a plea: Don’t abandon us…
