Chapter 204: The Mighty Demon Breaks Free, It's Him
Chapter 204: The Mighty Demon Breaks Free, It's Him
Zhang Bukou could not find Gu An within the Tai Xuan Gate's encampment, as Gu An was still busy sowing seeds.
He arrived early at the cave he had cultivated and scattered ordinary medicinal herb seeds to cultivate the soil.
After the matter with the Mighty Demon was resolved, he would go overseas to purchase a large number of high-grade medicinal herb seeds.
Decades had passed, and Gu An had accumulated a vast wealth that allowed him to spend lavishly.
The demonic aura emanating from the north persisted, affecting all beings under heaven. Wherever Gu An went, he heard people worrying about this matter.
At the same time, Gu An also heard another sentiment—people praising the Holy Land, saying that in this calamity, the Holy Land would surely intervene, and it would not affect the realm of humankind.
When Gu An used his divine sense to cover the Three Dynasties, he could see many people deliberately spreading this message. From the karma on them, he could tell that they were acting under the instructions of the Seven Stars Spirit Realm cultivators.
As expected of the Holy Land, their schemes were indeed beyond the reach of the Tai Xuan Gate.
After witnessing the difficulty in dealing with Fu Dao Jianzun, the Seven Stars Spirit Realm acted swiftly.
Additionally, Gu An noticed that batches of cultivators were landing from the ocean, including Nirvana Realm Grand Cultivators. They infiltrated the Three Dynasties and discreetly gathered information, with some investigating Fu Dao Jianzun and others inquiring about the Seven Stars Spirit Realm.
Gu An didn't pay them much heed as long as they didn't appear before him.
Time continued to pass.
About half a month later, nearing the end of autumn.
Gu An was riding the Blood Prison Great Sage and touring the Third Medicine Valley when he turned his divine sense towards the north.
The Seven Stars Spirit Realm is making their move! Gu An saw a scattered immortal among them, and this immortal's aura was no weaker than Lin Jingxian's, even without unleashing his full might.
Deep within the Demon Lands, at the edge of the Magic Lands.
"All disciples, prepare for battle!"
A valiant voice reverberated throughout the Tai Xuan Gate's base, prompting all disciples to spring into action. Not just the Tai Xuan Gate, but other sects followed suit.
Disciples from the Seven Stars Spirit Realm communicated with each other, offering guidance on combat techniques. Even the mighty Cangtian Zong dared not refuse and had to comply because the Seven Stars Spirit Realm possessed Grand Cultivators at the Immortal Realm.
As the disciples of the Seven Stars Spirit Realm flew towards the depths of the Demon Lands like a rain of arrows, tens of sects spread out in different directions, preparing to surround the Demon Lands from various angles.
An Hao, Li Ya, and Zhang Bukou were among them.
From the Xuan Xin Realm of the Tai Xuan Gate, only Xuan Quan Laozu had arrived. Other sects were similar, and even the mighty Cangtian Zong had only sent a Daoist Lord, without any Xuan Xin Realm Grand Cultivators.
They all understood that the key to this battle lay with the Holy Land!
An Hao watched the backs of the Seven Stars Spirit Realm cultivators, his brows furrowed in thought.
Over ten thousand Tai Xuan Gate disciples followed Lu Baitian, and everyone was tense. Even with the Holy Land taking the lead, they still worried, as the Holy Land had once proclaimed that the Mighty Demon was an existence they could not eradicate completely.
On the side of the Seven Stars Spirit Realm, Ji Xuanling's gaze fell on the eldest among them, his eyes complex.
That elder was the Lin family's scattered immortal, Lin Lu Laozu, who held a high position in the Six Stars Cave. He was not only profound in his cultivation but also a being who had lived for almost ten thousand years.
Lin Lu Laozu wore a wide purple robe, his white hair neatly tucked under a crown, his face weathered, and his eyes shining with a brilliant light, giving off a vibrant and awe-inspiring aura.
Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes, and following his gaze, one could see that the barren plains ahead were riddled with fissures from which rolled waves of black demonic aura, as if some ultimate evil was breeding. Thunderclouds churned in the sky, with lightning flashing and rumbling, the entire world seemed oppressive.
Lin Lu Laozu raised his right hand, and a golden umbrella appeared in his palm. He lifted it, and the golden umbrella flew over his head, swiftly moving forward.
In the blink of an eye, the golden umbrella reached the spot where the demonic aura was most dense, hovering about ten thousand feet above the ground, almost touching the thunderclouds.
Boom—
The golden umbrella suddenly opened, and strands of golden light spread out, like vast power from another dimension shaking the ages, causing the cloud sea to churn and the lightning to dissipate. The dark sky transformed into a magnificent and ethereal sight.
Strand after strand of golden light fell from the umbrella like pouring rain, landing on the cracked earth and forming golden runes that swiftly covered the ground and continued to expand. In less than two breaths, they covered an area of a thousand li and kept growing.
The golden runes suppressed the demonic aura seeping from the fissures. When the golden runes stopped expanding, the runes at the edges burst with golden light, shooting towards the sky and disappearing into the cloud sea, forming golden pillars that isolated an area spanning thousands of li. The Three Dynasties sects stood outside these pillars.
"What kind of treasure is that? A single treasure can form an array?"
"Indeed, it's powerful. This array feels even stronger than our sect-protecting grand array."
"As expected of the Holy Land, truly formidable."
"It looks like the Holy Land plans to deal with the Mighty Demon alone, and we're just here for support."
"That's fine by me. It's good to have someone take the lead, who would want to court death?"
The disciples from various sects discussed in hushed tones, and the image of the Holy Land in their minds rapidly rose.
Ji Xuanling looked up at the golden umbrella in the sky and uttered four words: "A scattered immortal's treasure."
Lin Lu Laozu flew forward alone, quickly reaching a massive cave. Looking down, he saw that the cave was pitch-black and bottomless, and all the fissures originated from this cave's opening.
The demonic aura inside was pushing against the golden light, threatening to burst through at any moment.
"Seven Stars Spirit Realm, heh heh.
A chilling voice reverberated across the heavens and the earth, audible to all cultivators outside the array.
The faces of many great cultivators from the Tai Xuan Gate changed drastically, including Lu Baitian, Ji Hantian, and Xuan Quan Laozu.
An Hao's eyes widened even further, and he wore an expression of disbelief.
"Xuan... Senior Xuan, that's impossible..."
The voice that had just resounded belonged to none other than Xuan Tianyi! An Hao instinctively looked towards Lu Baitian, who had strictly ordered him not to reveal Xuan Tianyi's presence after discovering the restrictions on his back.
Lu Baitian had promised to handle the matter and assured him that he would not wrong Xuan Tianyi.
At this moment, Lu Baitian's face was gloomy as he stared fixedly at the depths of the Demon Lands, ignoring An Hao's gaze.
"Mighty Demon, after not seeing you for ten thousand years, you still haven't awakened?"
Lin Lu Laozu's voice sounded out, his tone indifferent yet oppressive.
Mighty Demon!
All the cultivators tensed up, and those from other sects who had seen Xuan Tianyi before furrowed their brows, glancing frequently towards the Tai Xuan Gate's direction.
Just then, the earth shook violently.
Lin Lu Laozu's expression remained unchanged as he raised his right hand, strengthening the array.
The demonic aura emanating from the fissures in the earth became increasingly powerful and frenzied, as if it would burst through the golden runes that covered the surface. It seemed that countless vengeful demons were about to surge out from the abyss.
Heart-wrenching wails filled the heavens and the earth, resembling the cries of dragons and phoenixes, yet also resembling the howls of evil ghosts, causing the scalp of everyone who heard it to go numb.
Boom—
A terrifying power suddenly burst forth from the ground, shattering the golden runes that covered the surface. The rolling demonic aura soared into the sky, merging with the thunderclouds above, and even sent the golden umbrella flying away.
Lin Lu Laozu was caught off guard and forced back by the formidable might.
After stabilizing his figure, he frowned and raised his hand to cast a spell, steadying the golden umbrella in the sky. Then, he took out a redwood longsword.
The hundreds of cultivators from the Seven Stars Spirit Realm spread out, surrounding the terrifying pillar of demonic aura. Each of them brandished their own magical artifacts.
Ji Xuanling held a large fan, from which golden flames blazed from his seven orifices.
His gaze fell upon the figure rising within the pillar of demonic aura, and his pupils suddenly dilated.
"It's him... So it was all true..."
...
Within the Third Medicine Valley, Gu An dismounted from the Blood Prison Great Sage and turned to look towards the north.
His brows furrowed, and his eyes were filled with a chilling intent.
His expression shifted, and he retracted his gaze, preparing to head upstairs.
At that moment, a figure flew in from the distance. Gu An stopped in his tracks and turned to see Ji Xiaoyu swiftly approaching, resembling a celestial fairy as she landed before him.
Gu An bowed to her and asked with a smile, "Third Young Miss, what brings you here?"
Ji Xiaoyu raised her hand, and a jade pendant appeared in her palm. She said, "Keep this with you for now, and don't mention it to anyone. I'll come to retrieve it later."
After handing it to Gu An, she turned and left just as swiftly as she had come.
Gu An swept his spiritual sense over the jade pendant and nonchalantly stored it in his storage bag before turning to head upstairs.
Within the jade pendant was actually intelligence regarding the Seven Stars Spirit Realm.
Why did Ji Xiaoyu give this to him?
Had she guessed something?
At the same time...
Within the Demon Lands, amidst the rolling demonic aura, a figure stepped out. His appearance caused Ji Xuanling's expression to turn unsightly, and the Tai Xuan Gate was thrown into an uproar. Many cultivators from other sects widened their eyes, unable to believe their eyes.
The figure who had emerged from the demonic aura was none other than Xuan Tianyi!
Xuan Tianyi wore a black robe, his white hair flowing freely. His handsome face was exceedingly pale, with a deep crimson hue in his eye sockets, and his eyes seemed to be swirling with demonic aura, giving him an exceptionally demonic charm.
He twisted his neck and raised his arms, stretching his body.
"Senior Xuan!"
An Hao's voice rang out from the distance as he attempted to charge into the array, but someone stopped him.
On the Cangtian Zong's side, the Daoist Lord frowned and began to calculate with his fingers, and the sect master, Liang Canghai, also furrowed his brows, filled with confusion. How could this be?
Changshensheng Daoist from Sanqing Mountain glanced at Lin Lu Laozu, his eyes filled with profound meaning.
The cultivators from various sects began to discuss the situation, and soon, the identity of Xuan Tianyi spread.
A great cultivator from the Tai Xuan Gate had actually transformed into the Mighty Demon?
This news was a tremendous shock to them. During the Demon Beast Calamity, Xuan Tianyi had repeatedly established remarkable achievements, earning the admiration of cultivators throughout the world.
Lin Lu Laozu stared at the Mighty Demon and said in a deep voice, "Mighty Demon, how dare you seize a human race great cultivator! You're seeking death!"
His voice thundered across the heavens and the earth, audible to all.
Xuan Tianyi turned his head towards him, his eyes cold. He replied coldly, "Noisy!"
As his words fell, he waved his sleeve at Lin Lu Laozu, and the terrifying might of the ninth layer of the Immortal Ascension realm erupted. The golden runes on the ground in front of Lin Lu Laozu were completely obliterated. Lin Lu Laozu cast spells to resist, but he was still suppressed and forced to retreat. The golden light of the array thousands of li behind him was directly scattered, and tens of thousands of cultivators from a sect were unable to dodge in time and were sent flying, resulting in countless casualties.
"You..." Lin Lu Laozu glared at Xuan Tianyi, his voice filled with shock and anger.
What was going on?
What was Xuan Tianyi's cultivation base?
Before Lin Lu Laozu could think further, Xuan Tianyi raised his hand, palm facing the sky, a wild smile on his face.
Xuan Tianyi's right hand grabbed and pulled downward forcefully, and the thunderclouds above immediately collapsed. The terrifying pressure caused all the cultivators outside the array to fall to the ground, and the earth trembled.
