Not long after Rudra left, the spiritual fire engulfed the entire Vulture Wind Camp and turned everything into ash, a few lights were seen from the horizon, and almost instantaneously moved to the area above Vulture Wind Camp.
A few high-leveled immortal cultivators were enraged after witnessing this scene.
"A tree demon, still trying acting all high and mighty!"
An old man with a child's complexion chuckled. "You dare to oppose the Demonic Cultivators? Even though you might be an ancient demon, we will still destroy you!"
"Fiery Rain, pour!"
A pretty lady twitched her eyebrows, swung her willow branch, and formed a fire rain, which burnt the wooden outgrowth surrounding the whole camp clearing away the remnants of the attacks used by Rudra.
"Based on brother Yu, although the ancient demon might seem to only have harnessed the Demon Wood Energy and has not formed its core, he cannot die and be destroyed as his body is extremely tough. You'd better invite a few more senior brothers proficient in seals and arrays to help out!" the pretty lady described the plea for help that Yu had passed on when he was in a perilous situation.
"That is right! I, a Demonic cultivator, am the owner of all things, what have I not experienced? I have not dealt with and killed more than a hundred extraterrestrial and ancient demons, one more should be no problem!"
If Rudra, was here, he would be able to sense the anger from these demonic cultivators!
This was the confidence that they had gotten over many past victories!
"What's more... Brute force! Cannot be destroyed?"
An old man with his eyebrows and beard as long as flames licked his lips and his eyes glittered with excitement. " "If this is true, this demon is a top-grade material for making spiritual equipment! It might even be able to fend off a few Tribulations!"
At the mention of this, even the expressions of experts changed, revealing their greed on their faces.
To enter the Tribulation Stage, going through the Tribulations was a must, and it was not just once, but once every step.
It was fine if one barely scraped through it; if one failed, he would likely die, which was a fear among those in the world of both immortal and demonic cultivators!
Even though they are high up in the hierarchy of the world, they still have a phobia of the life-threatening Tribulation; they would gather all the spiritual weapons they could, just to increase their chances of making it through the Tribulation.
After hearing what the elder had to say, everyone started to think for themselves.
"Everyone will punish this demon!"
.....
Amidst the shouting, a demonic cultivator of Nascent Soul Stage thrust his sword, An impressive atmosphere was produced as the sword's afterimage and the sword-light fused together to become one.
SWISH!
This sword-light which had the ability to divide mountains and separate rivers landed on Rudra, but what came off was only a little spark.
Without even a frown, Rudra struck his claw out. The colorful light on the body of the demonic cultivator was destroyed as if it was a bubble and a palm-sized nascent soul was dragged out.
"Ah... My body... Demon!"
A small nascent soul witnessed the destruction of its own body, and even the strength of the nascent soul seemed to disappear; it became a defenseless doll with fear in its eyes. "This is impossible... How did you capture my nascent soul?"
A nascent was the fusion of one's Essence, Spirit, and Soul at their peak after the Core was smashed. It had a visible shape but was actually not made of any substance. It could naturally possess supernatural powers, teleportation, possession of another body, etc.
But to Rudra, who could use the Omniscient Eye normally could see the ethereal nascent souls of the cultivators. the nascent soul was like a real soul; it could not normally defend itself. This moment scared the hell out of this demonic cultivator.
"Another one of these!!..."
Rudra looked at the doll-like hollow body in front of him reminding him of the attacks by these maniacs who used dead bodies of as a puppet controlling them using their nascent souls like fools, only for their Nascent souls to die at his hands and perish.
"I must quickly form my core I have been lucky as to not meet a real nascent Soul cultivator, otherwise I would be done for!" Rudra used his Omniscient Eye to sneak about in the forest along with the surveillance provided by his Ent form connecting with the surrounding plants.
Rudra was sick of the regular attacks from the demonic cultivators attacking him. Rudra was disturbed many times, he was pissed to be not able to peacefully form his first Demonic core.
Rudra held the nascent soul and had a tinge of annoyance in his eyes.
After the Vulture Camp was burnt down, he immediately became the common enemy of the demonic cultivators that had occupied the Tranquil forest and was hated by everyone. Many others left their comfort zones and they were all after him.
Rudra remembered the nascent soul of Yu that he had destroyed after questioning, that soul was pretty wimpy as it started spilling all the beans hoping to save his life, thus Rudra had gained considerable information about the present situation in the forest.
"Resurrection of the Demonic Path on the continent. Moreover the complete dominance over the continent!!" Rudra muttered still astonished at the scale of the plan these demonic groups had hatched.
These hidden demonic groups that had never shown their faces in the open, afraid of being exterminated by the righteous faction, were now all gathered here, carrying out a massive ritual, that would allow them to control an ancient demon's corpse as a puppet granting them immense power.
"These groups at the outskirts are mere cannon fodder that must gain more time delaying the assault that the Righteous sect might launch." Rudra gazed at the nascent soul in his palms as he commented; he crushed it effortlessly.
"This time, I would solve the problem of the core!"
They planned to gather all the elemental energies into massive collecting pools and then use an ancient array to funnel all these energies to refine the corpse of the Ancient Demonic being whose body rested inside the depths of the Tranquil forest.
Rudra planned to derail the whole plan by stealing as much Wooden essence from these pools all across the Tranquil forest to cultivate his core. And his next target was precisely aimed at that motive.
"The Green Boar Sect, was it?"
