"Haha, not bad. This monster has been sealed here for hundreds of years, absorbing endless demonic energy. Its ferocity has indeed greatly increased. Looking at the Yin Sha(阴煞: Yin and evil) energy on its body, it's several times stronger than our aura. Its strength is indeed comparable to a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. If it weren't for the Earth Soul Lock restraining it, the two of us together would probably only be able to protect ourselves." The young man surnamed Long seemed to be in a good mood and laughed loudly.
"Next, I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Xue to isolate the demonic energy here first, so I can use secret techniques to control the corpse demon and complete the Demon Soul Hall's mission."
"Brother Long, please proceed. Xue will now suppress the demonic energy here." The blood-haired man also chuckled and readily agreed.
While speaking, he took out the Demon Sealing Plate and released dazzling spiritual light. Immediately, the demonic energy in the entire cave surged wildly as if it had been drawn.
After a few breaths, the demonic energy in the space was suppressed lower and lower. Before long, it was all suppressed underground. Although not completely suppressed, the demonic energy was already reduced by seventy or eighty percent.
This made the space brighter. Looking at the environment in the cave again, it was a cylindrical cave, not only hundreds of feet wide but also hundreds of feet high.
It was naturally not formed naturally but was a secret chamber specially built by alien demon race cultivators.
At the same time, the young man surnamed Long also cast a spell, offering the token with the faint green flower and spraying a ball of blood essence into it.
The token transformed into a green light and struck the ground. The ground trembled slightly, and faint green spiritual lights lit up. These spiritual lights quickly outlined a green spiritual pattern altar.
In the center of the altar was a thick stone pillar. As the spiritual light spread, dense green runes also appeared on it.
The sound of chains clanking continued. The corpse demon seemed to have sensed something was wrong and appeared even more ferocious. The Yin Sha demonic energy on its body erupted with a roar, turning into a gust of Yin wind and constantly hissing in the air.
The roar was shrill, causing the entire space to buzz.
Suddenly, a green light spread onto the corpse demon. The monster's aura was instantly suppressed. The pitch-black chains tied to the corpse demon actually turned faint green, and some strange faint green runes appeared on them.
This was because the other end of the chains on the corpse demon was fixed on the spiritual light pillar on the ground that was emitting green light. The altar, the spiritual light pillar, and the chains were clearly greatly related, forming a set of sacrificial refining formation.
As this scene unfolded, the corpse demon's aura was constantly suppressed. The Yin Sha demonic energy on its body dissipated by more than half. Only then could the appearance of the corpse demon be seen clearly.
This was a humanoid monster that was ten feet tall and wore a suit of pitch-black armor. What was strange was that, unlike ordinary zombies whose bodies were shriveled and faces were distorted, the corpse demon's face was only gray-green, looking like a sickly old man.
One could also see that his two arms were the same length, with sharp black-green nails, quickly Scratching in the air, making ear-piercing sounds of tearing through the air.
The only difference from a real person was that the old man's appearance was somewhat Ferocious, his eyes were wide open and emitted blood light, and there were also a few sharp fangs protruding from his mouth. His head was also Messy and disheveled, like a crazy old man.
Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the chains binding the corpse demon passed through its back, directly piercing through the corpse demon's body, binding most of its body.
As the chains emitted a faint green spiritual light, dense runes covered the corpse demon's entire body. Then, the chains dragged the corpse demon down from the air, and with a muffled thud, the monster was directly bound to the stone pillar.
No matter how hard it struggled, it just couldn't break free.
Hehe!
A sneer came from the side. The young man surnamed Long, holding the token, stood opposite the corpse demon. This person excitedly shook the token in his hand, shooting out a stream of pitch-black spiritual light that disappeared into the corpse demon's body.
The corpse demon's roar came to an abrupt halt, and its face became dull, as if it had been completely suppressed.
Then, the token shook again, flew to the top of the corpse demon's head, and a series of magic formulas struck it, lighting up strange red and black spiritual lights.
At the same time, the Saint Demon Insect that had been released earlier landed on the young man surnamed Long's left shoulder, bit out a wound, and greedily 흡수(흡수: absorb) blood.
This person stared closely at the Saint Demon Insect, and the look of excitement on his face became even stronger.
He was currently using the Blood Soul Secret Technique to feed the demon insect. Next, by separating a portion of his divine sense to control the Saint Demon Insect and inject it into the corpse demon, he would be able to control this corpse demon.
Just thinking about controlling a corpse monster comparable to a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was enough to excite him.
What this person didn't notice was that the blood-haired man standing on a stone pillar in the sky was coldly watching all of this. His brow was slightly furrowed, wondering what he was thinking.
The atmosphere became strangely silent.
After a short while, suddenly, the Demon Sealing Plate in the blood-haired man's hand trembled and buzzed. Then, with a whoosh, it inexplicably broke free from his control and rose into the air, spinning rapidly and releasing five-colored spiritual light.
"Uh, what's going on..."
The blood-haired man was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting this sudden change. He quickly raised his hand and cast a magic formula, wanting to control the Demon Sealing Plate.
However, he saw that the magic formula had no effect at all when it struck the treasure. This made him extremely shocked.
This Demon Sealing Plate had been circulating among their several medium-sized tribes for thousands of years. He had never heard of such a situation.
Why did it suddenly lose control?
"What's wrong?"
The voice of the young man surnamed Long also came from below. His divine sense swept upwards and naturally discovered the sudden change at this time. His expression was also stunned, revealing a trace of surprise.
"I don't know why the Demon Sealing Plate suddenly went out of control and is no longer under my control."
The blood-haired man responded with an ugly expression, immediately mobilizing the spiritual power in his body and continuously casting more than a dozen magic formulas into the Demon Sealing Plate, which slightly stabilized the Demon Sealing Plate.
"How could such a thing happen? I've never heard of the Demon Sealing Plate going out of control. Could it be that something has happened to this Demon Spring?" The Long youth's face also turned gloomy.
"Not good."
Just as the two were in doubt and didn't know what the situation was.
The five-colored spiritual light on the Demon Sealing Plate contracted and expanded by a foot, and with a poof, it exploded. Countless five-colored light rays shot out, forming dense five-colored runes in the air.
As soon as these runes appeared, they spread to the surroundings. When they touched the surrounding walls, they all merged into them and disappeared without a trace.
Then, a large area of black mist rose in the cave, which was naturally pure demonic energy. It had just been suppressed, but now it erupted again.
At the same time, the Demon Sealing Plate, which was emitting spiritual light, trembled even more violently and made strange clanging sounds.
The blood-haired man's eyebrows twitched wildly. With a clap of his hands, he released a ball of blood light, forming a thick cover, covering the Demon Sealing Plate. But the more he suppressed the treasure, the more violent its resistance became.
With a muffled sound, the blood light released by this person was instantly scattered by the five-colored spiritual light. With a whoosh, the Demon Sealing Plate turned into a shooting star and shot directly towards the rock wall in the sky.
With a loud bang, it actually opened a gap in the hard rock wall and disappeared.
The blood-haired man and the other man were dumbfounded for a moment.
"Chase after it quickly. The Demon Sealing Plate must not be lost." The Long youth reacted and shouted in a low voice with an ugly face.
"Hmph, I naturally understand."
The blood-haired man responded without turning his head, turned into a blood light, and followed the gap opened by the Demon Sealing Plate, chasing after it.
The Demon Sealing Plate is an alien demon's inheritance treasure. Although it is generally not very useful. But it must not be lost. If this treasure is lost in his hands, the Demon Soul Hall will definitely punish him, and may even affect the entire tribe, which the blood-haired man cannot bear.
Roar!
As this change occurred, the corpse demon, which had been trapped by the prohibition formation, roared again. Struggling desperately, Yin Sha demonic energy surged around his body.
The Long youth's expression was extremely ugly. He didn't know what was going on with the Demon Sealing Plate, but it must be related to the Demon Spring and the ancient prohibition here. If it affected the sealing formation here, he couldn't escape responsibility either. He would also be punished.
Unfortunately, the corpse demon had not been controlled by him at this moment, and the secret technique was being used at a critical moment, so he couldn't get away for a while.
He could only continuously urge the token to suppress the corpse demon, and at the same time, spray out several balls of blood essence to allow the Saint Demon Insect to devour it and speed up the control of the corpse demon.
What the two didn't know was that all of this change was greatly related to Zhang Ling, who was also at the bottom of the Demon Spring. And Zhang Ling naturally didn't know the situation here. He and Lan Que were also encountering strange situations at the moment.
As they cast spells to destroy theGengjin stone tablet blocking the passage.
It took them a full quarter of an hour to shave off a layer of the Gengjin fragments in the stone tablet.
But they still didn't break the stone tablet.
Instead, they saw that deeper inside the Gengjin layer was actually a layer of five-colored spiritual light jade wall. It was engraved with dense spiritual patterns, which looked absolutely extraordinary.
They could sense the amazing spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the light wall. It was not demonic energy, but jade walls transformed from pure heaven and earth spiritual power. It looked more like some kind of prohibition.
"This is not right."
Zhang Ling frowned slightly, vaguely feeling a sense of danger. Although he couldn't see what was happening with this layer of jade wall, it was obviously a prohibition left by ancient cultivators.
Lan Que also stopped attacking, but did not reply. It only flapped its wings slightly a few times. Suddenly, this guy seemed to sense something and warned.
"True demon energy is about to come out."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Ling also sensed something. His eyes were fixed on the back of the jade wall. Although it was shrouded in five-colored spiritual light, he couldn't see what was behind it, but it seemed that something was colliding over.
A muffled sound came from behind the jade wall. The sound was not loud, but the entire passage immediately shook violently. Then, two white and bright cracks cracked on the jade wall, and a wisp of black gas emerge from it.
Is this true demon energy?
Zhang Ling sensed that these black gases were transformed from pure demonic energy, but it didn't seem to be any different from the demonic energy full of in the Demon Spring.
He saw that these black gases quickly entwine together, actually manifesting into a vague black snake phantom, and rolled towards the nearest Xuan turtle.
Xuan turtle reacted quickly. The black gourd he was holding in his hand emitted a spiritual light, and a ball of black water was released, forming a layer of water curtain in front of him, blocking this attack.
But the momentum of the black snake's impact was extremely strong, and Xuan turtle was forced back several steps before he stabilized his body.
This surprised Zhang Ling. Xuan turtle is an eighth-order peak demon cultivator. Even if he doesn't use spiritual power, his physical strength is a powerful existence. How could he be easily forced back?
This black snake is not a demon beast, but a phantom solidification by demonic energy. The spiritual pressure it emits is not very strong. But with such a powerful force, it seems to have become spiritual.
Could it be that spiritual demonic energy is true demonic energy?
Zhang Ling thought in his heart that his movements were not slow either. He commanded the bone claws to attack, turning into five claw shadows and grabbing them fiercely.
The black phantom was extremely flexible. It seemed to really have intelligence. Sensing the danger, the snake shadow Wave, turned into a black shadow and dodged this attack.
The long body Hover, curled up together, and then quickly Eject up, giving up Xuan turtle and attacking him directly.
Zhang Ling snorted coldly, and with a flick of hand, he scattered a piece of Heavy Yuan Xuan Light. The yellow light blocked in front of him, and the snake shadow's movement slowed down a bit inside.
Then, the sound of tearing air sounded, and the bone claws appeared above the snake shadow. The claw light grabbed down like a wind blade. Silently, the black snake phantom was easily torn into pieces.
Although this wisp of demonic energy was weird, it was not controlled by anyone after all. Naturally, it was not the opponent of his Nascent Soul cultivator.
"Hehe, it's just wasting effort." Lan Que, who was flying beside him, snorted coldly. "True demon energy is not so easy to destroy."
At the same time as this guy was speaking, Zhang Ling also immediately noticed that the black gas that had been scattered gathered together again in a blink of an eye, lengthened all of a sudden, and changed into a snake shadow again. With a shake of its head, it roared. With a loud bang, it scattered the Heavy Yuan Spiritual Light in front of him with one tail.
Zhang Ling raised his eyebrows, stretched out his left hand and Prop up forward, and a vine rolled out, surrounding it into a wooden shield, blocking this attack.
But he also sensed a huge force, pushing himself back a distance. The snake shadow's momentum did not diminish, and it opened its mouth and Pounce directly at his head.
Zhang Ling stabilized his body, and his eyes were a bit Clear and cold. He suddenly pull out a rhombus-shaped crystal stone in his hand, which was a purple-black middle-grade magic stone. Several magic formulas struck it.
He sacrificed this magic stone and rotated it in front of his eyes.
He didn't mean to resist the photographer's attack. Xuan turtle had already cooperated with him and sprayed out a ball of ice mist. The dark blue ice mist spread and froze the sudden attack snake shadow in it.
However, the sound of crackling was constant, and the snake shadow was re-dissolved into mist in the blink of an eye, emit from the ice block. Floating on the surface of the ice block, it turned into a snake shadow again.
It seemed that this wisp of demonic energy was not capable of resisting the cold spiritual power, but this was actually just the ordinary cold air released by Xuan turtle, just to delay it for a little time.
Taking advantage of this time, Zhang Ling had already finished casting the spell, and the purple magic stone lit up with dazzling purple fluorescence, shining on the snake shadow. The snake shadow twisted its head, and stared at the middle-grade magic stone, no longer attacking but becoming docile.
