Chapter 860 The Universe Under the Lake
While Huang Ying and Gu Xuan were doing their own things, a similar scene happened hundreds of miles away.
A bloody light appeared in the air, followed by two rays of light, one red and one black. When the light faded, a bloody skeleton, a red-dressed girl, and a young man in a python robe appeared.
It was the skeleton puppet possessed by the monster, "Hong Xiao", and the ancient demon snake.
"My two Taoist friends, this is the place." The bloody skeleton said to the two people around him after the light disappeared.
There was a dark abyss in front of them, like a cracked chasm, attracting countless yellow sands to roll into it. At the same time, bursts of demonic energy were ejected, and as soon as they rose into the air, they turned into clouds and cotton and scattered everywhere.
It was obviously several times more dense than other places where demonic energy gathered.
"Is this the node of the seal?" "Hong Xiao" stood above the abyss and looked down, with a gloomy look on his face.
The demon snake also walked forward after a slight exploration of his spiritual consciousness.
"Yes, this crack is where the seal loosened decades ago. That's why the demonic energy and various ancient relics have been revealed in recent years. Now we just need to destroy this node, and the seal will be naturally unlocked. Then the passage to the spirit world and the passage to my demon world will also appear." The bloody skull chuckled, and his two empty eyes showed an extremely fanatical light.
"Hong Xiao" and the demon snake looked at each other, each silent.
After a moment, "Hong Xiao" said: "What do you want us to do?"
"It's very simple. You two are ancient creatures with a trace of chaotic energy in your body. After I set up a magic circle to impact the seal, you two just need to integrate the chaotic energy into the magic circle to help. With the little spiritual power left in the ancient seal, it is not difficult to destroy it as long as we work together." The bloody skull said.
"Chaos energy? It seems that fellow Daoist has already understood the details of the two of us." "Hong Xiao" raised his eyebrows.
"Hehe, fellow Daoist, don't blame me. Since I want to find someone to cooperate with, I naturally need to do some homework. Besides, you two have great magical powers. If I don't find out more, how can I feel at ease to tell you such a big secret?" The bloody skull chuckled twice and said with an unchanged expression.
"Hong Xiao" snorted coldly and did not entangle with the other party. He looked sideways at the abyss in front of him and said solemnly: "You are right. The demon snake and I were born with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but now we are just clones. The original body is in the spiritual world. The chaotic energy contained in our bodies is less than one-tenth of the original body. We are not sure whether we can break this ancient seal."
The demon snake nodded, showing an expression of approval.
The bloody skeleton waved his hand after hearing this, looking nonchalant: "Don't worry, the two of you. This ancient seal is no longer the same as it was back then. I have already made full preparations. Even if you two are just clones, I have the confidence to unlock this seal."
"Hong Xiao" frowned, looking at the bloody skeleton with a strange look.
But since the other party said so, she naturally wouldn't bother about it. After exchanging glances with the demon snake, she said: "Since that's the case, fellow Taoist, please cast a spell. The two of us will cooperate with you."
"Then I'll trouble you two fellow Taoists."
The bloody skeleton's eyes flashed with excitement, and his bone hand suddenly slapped the ground.
"Boom boom!"
As his palm fell, the ground within a hundred miles kept making a roar like a landslide, and countless bottomless cracks appeared. Waves of cold demonic energy surged out from the ground like a tide, causing the density of demonic energy here to increase by dozens of times.
The blood-colored skeleton stared at the surging demonic energy, his eyes showing ecstasy, and a dense demonic cloud spurted out of his mouth, and then the demonic cloud spread out, turning into extremely sharp swords that disappeared into the cracks.
An amazing scene appeared, and the sharp thorns suddenly turned blood red, releasing an extremely fierce aura. The natural chasm blocking the three people seemed to have expanded after the impact, and several glittering runes appeared faintly inside.
"The seal has been forced out by me. With my 72 'true essence thorns', the power of the seal will be blocked and cannot return to its position. Two Taoist friends, it's up to you next." The blood-colored skeleton said happily.
"Hong Xiao" and the demon snake looked at each other, and there was a dark light flashing in their eyes, but they immediately fell to the natural chasm below.
Halfway through the flight, "Hong Xiao" was seen flashing with spiritual light, transforming into a colorful four-clawed demon bird, with gray-white air flowing out of its mouth, and the demon snake also shook its body to reveal its true form of a giant python, and rushed towards the place where the talisman light was diffused together with the demon bird.
...
The cultivators of various sects who entered the Immortal Tribulation Land to search for treasures did not know that the skeleton, the ancient demon, and the demon snake had broken the seal, and no one realized that a shocking upheaval was about to come.
While the cultivators of various parties broke into the demon cloud with different purposes, in a small valley in the north of the Western Region, Ye Chunyang was silently regulating his breath with an expressionless face, and on the other side, He Zhenren, Gu Ming, Yao Yao, the three masters of Tian Yao Valley, were also meditating to recover.
But what the three did not know was that Ye Chunyang's body was just an empty shell at this time, without any consciousness, and his soul had already settled in the invisible main body, looking at a strange half-black and half-white object in his hand.
It was an eyeball that looked no different from a human's, but it contained an astonishing divine power, which was obtained from the soul-devouring beast not long ago.
When the group left, Ye Chunyang noticed an unusual fluctuation hidden in the soul-devouring beast, and immediately judged that the beast was most likely not really dead, so he left the main body to observe secretly.
Sure enough, after they evacuated, the eyeball flew out of the beast's body. Judging from the divine thoughts contained in it, it was obviously the beast's soul, just like the human's Yuanshen, otherwise it would not be so cunning to fake death.
Unfortunately, although the soul-devouring beast was intelligent, it did not expect Ye Chunyang to leave the main body behind, and intercepted it when it was escaping.
"Generally, after the monster beast cultivates magic power, it will form an inner elixir in the body. This soul-devouring beast actually condenses the essence in the eyes, and the soul is attached to it. It seems that this eye is extraordinary." Ye Chunyang looked at the eyeball and felt a little surprised.
The way this soul-devouring beast condenses the essence and soul is really different. There must be some mystery hidden in it, so he intercepted it back.
Just as he was thinking secretly, a sound suddenly came into his ears. He Zhenren woke up from his meditation first. Seeing this, Ye Chunyang's eyes flashed, and he pinched his fingers on his eyeballs, and refined the remaining divine thoughts of the Soul Devouring Beast with the Soul Refining Technique, and put it back into the jade gourd.
He could not understand the wonderful use of the Soul Devouring Beast's eyeball for the time being, but thinking back to the eye magic power displayed by the other party when fighting with this beast, it was obvious that this thing was extraordinary, so he would leave it for the time being.
Immediately, his soul left his body and returned to his clone again, and his eyes slowly opened.
"This place is not far from the ancient cave, Fellow Daoist Ye, let's continue to set off!" He Zhenren did not drag his feet as soon as he finished practicing, and directly stood up and continued to move forward.
Ye Chunyang had no objection to this, opened the spirit beast bag and released the Pixiu, let it lead the way in front, and then slowly hung behind.
Seeing this, Gu Ming and Yao Yao also followed closely.
According to the time calculation, they have been traveling in this demonic cloud for three days and three nights. During this period, in addition to the soul-devouring beast, they also encountered some other ancient demonic beasts that were demonized, but in comparison, their cultivation was much weaker. Before they could do anything, they were killed by He Zhenren, a great cultivator in the late Jindan stage.
With this person's help, Ye Chunyang was happy and at ease. He was only responsible for driving the Pixiu along the way, and the other things were left to the three people from Tianyao Valley.
But what gave him a headache was that as he went deeper, the demonic cloud gathered more and more densely, and the appearance of space cracks became more and more frequent. If he was not careful, he might be involved in it and his body would be gone.
In this regard, Ye Chunyang relaxed on the surface, but he was also very alert in his heart. After they traveled for about half a day again, a silver lake appeared in front of them, and He Zhenren also stopped outside the lake.
This lake is neither big nor small. It is rare to see such a scene in the Western Regions, where there is wind and sand all year round. However, what attracted Ye Chunyang was that above the lake, there were thunderbolts and lightning pouring down, and there were dense and ferocious space cracks that looked like centipedes constantly cruising, which revealed a dangerous atmosphere.
Master He stared at the lake for a moment, with a look of surprise on his face. After talking to himself, he jumped up and flew around the lake carefully, as if observing something.
Ye Chunyang narrowed his eyes slightly, and did not intervene rashly, but waited for the result in the original place.
Not long after, Master He landed back in the original place, smiled at the three of them, and said: "That's right, it's here. The first two times we couldn't go deep into the magic cloud and couldn't determine the location of the cave. Now it seems to be hidden at the bottom of the lake."
"Hidden at the bottom of the lake? Then how do we get in?" Ye Chunyang asked.
"There is a restriction in this lake, which covers the ancient cave. As long as the restriction is broken, it will be easy to enter." He Zhenren smiled confidently when he heard this.
Ye Chunyang frowned slightly and looked at the lake in front of him calmly. With his strong spiritual sense, he naturally saw that there was something else in the lake, but he didn't want to act rashly. Let's see how He Zhenren would deal with it.
After saying that, he raised his hand and waved it. A spell was blasted out, and the copper coin flying sword flew down and splashed on the lake.
What was surprising was that when the sword light slashed on the lake, not only did it not move, but after a few ripples, it drew the sword energy on the copper coin flying sword into it. For a moment, it was like a mud cow entering the sea, without any waves.
He Zhenren was stunned for a moment, and his face looked very strange.
But he was not a man who gave up easily. He raised his flying sword again, injected his magic power twice, and suddenly the sword light increased greatly, the edge was close to the sky, and with a "boom" it chopped directly on the lake surface.
An amazing scene appeared. The lake was rolling up with waves. A whirlpool suddenly appeared with a rumble. At first it was only the size of a bowl, and gradually it turned into a size of several feet, spewing out dazzling rays of light.
