Chapter 702 Tianyi Chunqiu's plan (two in one)
The underworld is vast and vast.
When everyone saw this, their hearts trembled, and their originally relaxed steps became heavier.
After a while, the turbid Netherworld River meandered from the depths of darkness.
The surface of the river was foaming and glowing with a strange light, as if it were a link between the yin and yang worlds, with an aura of decay.
It makes people look at it with fear.
At the same time, the temperature of the surrounding air dropped sharply, and the breath of strangers seemed extremely weak in this cold environment.
Gu Xuan took out a spiritual boat, and everyone jumped on it and headed towards the depths of the tomb.
The boat was on the river, and they moved forward cautiously. There were faint sounds of low chanting in their ears, as if they were conducting some kind of ritual.
What they saw shocked them.
I saw that in the middle of the underworld, there was a huge altar.
At this time, rows of monks wearing black robes and skull masks were lined up around the altar.
All of them were holding staffs, chanting incantations, and their eyes were shining with greed and fanaticism.
There is a finely carved stone statue placed in the center of the altar, depicting a ferocious-looking ancient Taoist priest, wearing shabby Taoist robes, with a twisted and ferocious face.
Behind him were twelve Taoist heads, with their eyes wide open and their mouths wide open, all looking in different directions.
"This is?"
Everyone looked at the altar above. At this moment, in addition to the strange figure, there were countless scattered bones and blood, which were piled up densely.
It gave off a disgusting stench.
"This should be the Guangfa Dao Ancestor in the Netherworld. The twelve heads represent all directions, and the open mouth means spreading the Dharma."
Someone spoke.
Ye Yang saw that near the altar, all the bones had bite marks, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"It is said that the monks in Netherworld feed on the bones of immortal cultivators like us. Now it seems that it is indeed true."
The bones were obviously sacrificed, and the blood formed a complex rune pattern on the altar.
The monks present glanced at the scattered bones and blood, and most of their hearts were filled with anger and uneasiness.
Because they did see that these bones did not die naturally, but were eaten alive and then sacrificed to death.
"The atmosphere here is too weird, we must get out of here as soon as possible."
As a rare formation master among the people, Master Aoki roared, and a huge formation appeared next to him.
The formation was made up of countless golden locks connected in series, faintly forming the Nine Palaces and Bagua formation.
The runes and lines are intricate and emit a faint blue light, giving people a very stable feeling.
"This is the 'Escape Golden Lock Formation', which can allow us to leave here quickly."
Master Aoki said in a deep voice.
"Everyone, come in quickly."
Everyone immediately gathered around and entered the range of the formation.
Master Aoki formed a seal with his hands and recited an ancient mantra.
As his voice sounded, the formation began to rotate slowly, and the light became brighter and brighter.
Suddenly, a strong light flashed,
The entire formation disappeared in an instant, leading everyone away from this eerie place.
When the light of the formation dissipated.
Everyone was instantly transported to a dark area in a burst of intense light.
There was an aura of decay permeating the surroundings, and there seemed to be a faint smell of blood in the air.
"What is this place?" Ye Yang asked with a frown, looking around warily.
Master Aoki looked solemn and said in a low voice.
"The last time I explored this crypt with my ancient Taoist friends, I marked the location. It was not like this at all at that time. It seems that there have been some changes that we don't know about."
Ye Yang opened his eyes slightly, and the two sword lights flickered in his eyes. The dark scene in front of him immediately became brighter in his eyes.
Through the thick and dark fog, Ye Yang could see some faint firelight not far away.
He motioned for everyone to follow him and walked cautiously towards the light source.
As they got closer, what they saw shocked them.
Where was the fire? It was a huge blood pool formed entirely of blood, exuding a bloody red light.
Corpses were floating in the blood pool, and the blood-red liquid was boiling and emitting a disgusting smell.
"This...what is this?"
Ye Yang took a deep breath, seemed to have thought of something, and spoke in a deep voice.
"This is the living blood pool. The reason why the monks in Netherworld killed many monks is because they need to extract the blood and bones of the monks to create this living blood pool."
"These living blood pools can help monks absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth faster and break through the realm."
When everyone heard this, they were both angry and frightened.
In order to pursue power, the monks in Netherworld did not hesitate to kill countless innocent lives.
This is certainly worthy of outrage.
But at the same time, a kind of greed is also spreading quietly in everyone's hearts.
Breaking through the realm is an indescribable temptation for all monks.
People in the world practice and break through realms for the sake of immortality.
No one wants to die.
In front of Changsheng, any father, son, or Taoist couple are all fake.
Since Netherworld has this thing, why not use it?
Soon someone opened their mouth. The voice was low and firm.
"Can we also make use of this living creature's blood pool?"
This sentence was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples.
Everyone looked at each other, with complex expressions flashing in their eyes.
For a moment, the scene was still.
Master Ye Yang frowned, and his stern eyes swept over everyone. He had obviously noticed that this greedy emotion was quietly growing.
"Everyone, please be patient."
"How can this alliance, which was established with great difficulty, fall apart because of an external object."
Gu Xuan also saw that something was wrong and asked.
"Although the blood pool of the living beings in the Netherworld Yellow Spring has extraordinary effects, it is made with the blood of innocent monks who were killed."
"Once used, it will be assimilated by the energy of the Netherworld Yellow Spring. Can you accept this?"
"The path of cultivating immortals is against the will of heaven. You are all old men. Now that you have transformed into the body of the Netherworld Yellow Spring, not only may you lose your cultivation, but the generals of the cultivation world will no longer have a place to stay, and even the forces behind you will be investigated."
Gu Xuan spoke.
The heat and greed in some people's eyes gradually disappeared.
However, there are still some people who are hesitant. Their eyes wander back and forth between the blood pool of living beings and their companions, and the struggle in their hearts is clearly visible.
Seeing this, Ye Yang sighed. He knew that the most terrible thing had happened.
In the world, no matter how powerful the enemy is, it is not terrible.
The most terrible thing is to break through from the inside.
Those who have achieved some success in cultivation still find it difficult to control themselves in the face of these temptations.
Then those monks who have reached the end of their lifespan or have just started to practice cultivation will definitely find it difficult to resist such temptations.
They may even help the evil.
In order to break through their cultivation, they are willing to be assimilated by it and become the running dogs of the Netherworld.
"Several years ago, the Great Fortune Dynasty was strong, and Ren Taxian repelled several Dao ancestors of the Netherworld."
"But now the Great Fortune Dynasty is also unable to take care of itself, and Ren Taxian's situation is even more weird and abnormal. How should we deal with it now?"
Ye Yang exhaled.
He did not choose to say much at this moment.
(II)
Because he knew that any words at this moment seemed a little pale and powerless.
Master Qingmu also noticed the strangeness of the situation at this time, nodded and agreed.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, you are right. We cultivators pursue the way of heaven, not the evil way. Although the blood pool of living beings is tempting, it only brings destruction and degeneration."
As soon as the voice fell, a cold voice came from the darkness.
"What a joke. To pursue the great way, you must naturally fight for it at all costs and use all your strength. This is what should be done."
"Are you going to block the immortal path of other Taoist friends?"
Everyone immediately became alert and looked forward.
I saw several cultivators in black robes slowly walking out of the shadows, their eyes flashing with greed and madness.
Without exception, they all had a dark and misty aura of the underworld.
The leading black-robed cultivator sneered.
"You came at the right time. With the flesh and blood of you cultivators, the power of the blood pool will be even stronger, and we will soon be able to break through to a higher realm."
After saying that, the black-robed man in the lead took the lead. With the movement of the magic formula in his hand, a brilliant sword light rushed straight towards Ye Yang and others.
Other cultivators also joined the battle and performed their unique skills.
The two sides launched a fierce duel.
The battle was extremely fierce, and the whole tomb was filled with the roar of spells.
Ye Yang watched carefully.
The few people who suddenly appeared were quite powerful, especially the leader, who should have reached the Jindan realm.
In addition, this is their home court, and there is no worry, so every move is powerful.
However, Ye Yang keenly noticed that the blood pool was unusual, and it seemed that something was hidden in it.
He did not choose to take action immediately.
Instead, he was secretly on guard.
Sure enough, after a while.
Just when the battle entered a white-hot stage.
Suddenly, a strong breath surged out of the pool of blood, as if something was about to break out of the pool.
As soon as the voice fell, a dazzling red light suddenly burst out from the pool of blood.
A huge blood-colored figure appeared in the blood light. This was a monster condensed by blood, exuding a terrifying breath, and hanging a lot of bones and fragments.
A pair of blood-red eyes stared at everyone, full of murderous intent.
But the moment he saw this face, Ye Yang couldn't help but be stunned.
"It's the Lord of Tianyi Chunqiu."
The blood-colored figure, wearing a long gown, bathed in blood light, but with a square face and full of majesty.
Ye Yang's voice was filled with incredible shock.
He had seen this peerless strongman 50,000 years ago when he explored the tomb with Gu Xuan.
It is said that he fell in a battle, but he didn't expect to be resurrected in this way.
The blood-colored figure slowly stood up, looking at everyone, and the blood-red eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
His voice was low and full of majesty.
"You guys, how dare you disturb my sleep."
Ye Yang and Gu Xuan looked at each other, and both saw deep uneasiness in each other's eyes.
The main reason was that the two of them had really dealt with this Tianyi Chunqiu Lord and knew how terrifying he was.
Flying Heaven Sect also inherited most of the other party's Tianyi Four Symbols Jue and knew its power.
They knew that facing such an existence, any rash action could bring disastrous consequences.
"The other party was already dead, but Netherworld had special means to find its bones and resurrected it."
Ye Yang took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
As soon as he finished speaking, God's Will Chunqiu Master waved his hand, and a powerful force swept over him instantly.
Wind, fire, thunder, and lightning intertwined into a devastating storm.
The wind howled, the flames roared, the thunder roared, and the lightning shuttled through the air like snakes.
It filled the entire space for a while.
Everyone felt the tremendous pressure and used all their magic power to resist this force.
The immortal old demon in the Tiangang realm has been dead for who knows how many thousands of years.
However, after being resurrected by Netherworld in a strange way, his strength did not decrease at all.
"Everyone, be careful!"
Gu Xuan reminded loudly, and at the same time activated his magic weapon, the huge Heaven-Shaking Devil Hammer, and clicked it three times in a row, which was the size of a house, and went straight to the Lord of Heaven's Will of Spring and Autumn.
However, this huge hammer carrying infinite power was swallowed up the moment it came into contact with the storm of wind, fire, thunder and lightning.
Seeing this, Master Aoki also quickly used formations to try to trap the Heavenly Will Spring and Autumn Lord.
But the figure of the Heavenly Will Spring and Autumn Lord flashed like a ghost, and in a flash of blood, he was already behind him, easily avoiding all traps.
His eyes flashed with madness and excitement, as if he was enjoying the battle.
"Come on, after fifty thousand years, I'm finally alive."
The voice of God's Lord of Spring and Autumn was full of enthusiasm and relief.
"You have good cultivation, just enough to replenish my energy and blood."
When Ye Yang and others heard this, their hearts sank.
"He actually has sanity and is not a puppet simply resurrected by Netherworld."
This moment.
Ye Yang's heart was in turmoil. He was keenly aware that the death of God's Chunqiu Lord was not as simple as imagined.
Especially since the other party built his tomb on the passage between the underworld and the world of practice.
Perhaps, something was planned as early as ten thousand years ago.
The thing behind it is definitely not what the world imagines, fighting to the death with the Netherworld and guarding the earth.
Perhaps it is to live another life after resurrection.
"Kill you, kill you, and then I can see the light of day again."
God's Will Spring and Autumn Lord's gaze swept across the crowd, revealing a strong desire in his eyes:
"After I completely recover my strength, I will return to the path of immortality, and I will regain everything that belongs to me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, God's Will Spring and Autumn Lord waved the power in his hand again.
Wind, fire, thunder, and lightning intertwined into a more violent storm, sweeping towards everyone.
This time, the power was even more powerful, almost covering the entire space.
Gu Xuan gritted his teeth and activated the Heaven-Shaking Devil Hammer again, trying to resist this force.
But the huge hammer was blown aside the moment it came into contact with the storm.
Gu Xuan himself was also blown away by the powerful shock wave and fell to the ground.
"As expected of Master Tiangang."
Gu Xuan drew a mouthful of blood.
Just as this blood shadow continued to wreak havoc.
Ye Yang took action.
The swords flew up, and the Drinking Sword and the Red Maple Sword, which had been silent for an unknown amount of time, appeared again.
The sharpness of the sword was beyond anyone's imagination.
The Yin Sui Knife is filled with the rich power of time, as if it can cut time and space.
The Red Maple Sword shone with dazzling thunder and lightning, and the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Sword True Technique was activated, just like the wrath of an immortal.
The Drinking Sword draws sharp tracks one after another. The blade is gleaming with cold light, aiming to turn all the enemy's defenses into nothingness.
At the same time, thunder and lightning flashed on the Red Maple Sword, and every swing was accompanied by deafening thunder, tearing the surrounding air apart.
God's Will Spring and Autumn Master felt Ye Yang's powerful aura and couldn't help being surprised.
He originally thought that these juniors were just insignificant characters, but he didn't expect that there were such powerful people among them.
His eyes were solemn, not daring to show any contempt anymore, and he tried his best to deal with Ye Yang's attack.
"There is actually a Tiangang realm monk hidden here, and he has some tricks."
There was something strange in the blood shadow's eyes.
But Ye Yang didn't take the other party's words to heart.
The Drinking Sword in Ye Yang's hand struck down, and the power of time condensed into an invisible sharp edge, pointing directly at the heart of the God of Spring and Autumn.
The God of Spring and Autumn hurriedly waved his hands, mobilizing the four elements of wind, fire, thunder, and electricity to form a solid barrier.
However, the edge of the knife was so sharp that it penetrated the barrier and hit him directly in the chest.
Although no fatal injuries were caused, Master Tianyi Chunqiu felt a strange force invade his body, making his movements become sluggish.
He was shocked and felt that his life span had suddenly disappeared out of thin air for decades.
This knife can actually affect time!
Immediately afterwards, the red maple sword in Ye Yang's hand also struck, and the power of thunder and lightning gathered into thick streaks of lightning, roaring like a giant dragon and rushing towards the Lord of Heaven's Will Spring and Autumn.
"The strength of the sword and sword spirits is somewhat beyond my expectation!"
Ye Yang continued his offensive. The Drinking Sword and the Red Maple Sword seemed to have come to life in his hands, attacking and defending together perfectly.
The power of time on the Drinking Sword continuously weakened the Chunqiu Master of Heaven's Will, while the power of thunder and lightning on the Red Maple Sword continued to bombard his body, making it difficult for him to resist.
God's Will Spring and Autumn Master tried his best, but still couldn't help Ye Yang.
I had to mobilize all my strength.
The four elements of wind, fire, thunder, and electricity were spinning wildly around him, forming a huge vortex, trying to swallow Ye Yang.
However, Ye Yang's skills with swords and swords never failed.
Blessed by the sharp intuition of the Sword Demon Ape.
He shuttled freely through the storm, and every swing of his sword was extremely precise, forcing the Heavenly Will Spring and Autumn Master to retreat steadily. (End of chapter)
