Before long, black mist gathered, and a figure clad in a black robe, wearing a demonic crown, and exuding monstrous Devilish Qi slowly condensed, none other than a strand of the Immortal Devil God Avatar, possessing power sufficient to overturn the universe.
"Lord Devil God, this subordinate is ashamed. The Seal Grand Formation below is indestructible, and I have yet to break it," You Yuan said, manifesting in human form and kneeling before the Devil God Incarnation, his voice filled with trepidation.
"Indeed! This Formation is troublesome!" The Devil God Incarnation's gaze settled on the Sealing Boundary Grand Formation below. He did not blame You Yuan, and his eyes gleamed with excitement.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Devil God Incarnation slowly raised his right hand, palm facing upward. A powerful demonic force began to gather in his palm, gradually forming a black vortex that twisted and distorted the surrounding space as it pulled everything in.
With a sudden burst of earth-shattering energy, the black vortex transformed into a black beam of light, shooting directly towards the core of the Seal Grand Formation.
"Boom!" A colossal sound echoed.
Just as the Seal Grand Formation was suffering a devastating attack, Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix, using her supreme Divine Ability, manipulated the protective Formation that Li Mu had set up to guard the Spirit Field. She spread her wings, each feather seemingly containing the essence of the sun.
"Inferno Grand Formation, Phoenix Wings!"
At this critical juncture, Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix manipulated the protective Formation, conjuring a gigantic Fire Phoenix that transformed into a dazzling wall of fire. It precisely blocked the black beam of light. The collision between the two unleashed a deafening roar, with light and darkness intertwining as if to tear this world apart.
Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the Devil God Incarnation's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by dense killing intent.
"Interesting, this place even hides a Fire Phoenix True Spirit, but!" The Devil God Incarnation's lips curled into a cold sneer.
"Die for me!"
The Devil God Incarnation roared, Undying Demon Qi condensing in his hand into a pitch-black demonic sword. Devilish Qi swirled around the sword body. He flashed, transforming into a black stream of light, and holding the demonic sword, he slashed down fiercely towards the Seal Grand Formation.
"Inferno Grand Formation, Spirit of the Fire Phoenix, manifest!" Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix formed hand Seals, chanting incantations. The fiery Phoenix above the protective Formation seemed to hear the summons, letting out a deafening Phoenix cry. Its entire body's flames suddenly surged, transforming into a brilliant Phoenix fire that met the demonic sword.
"Clang!" The demonic sword and the Phoenix fire collided violently in the air, erupting in dazzling light and deafening roars. The Devilish Qi on the demonic sword and the pure flames within the Phoenix fire intertwined and canceled each other out, forming a peculiar energy storm.
With a "Pfft" sound, Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix suffered a backlash from the Grand Formation, spitting out fresh blood, and staggering backward. Her face was pale, but her eyes gleamed with unyielding light.
The Inferno Grand Formation also suffered unprecedented damage. The protective Formation barrier, once as solid as bedrock, now trembled precariously, as if it could collapse at any moment. The giant flames of the Formation Spirit above the protective Formation had dimmed considerably, appearing as if they could extinguish at any moment.
Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix gritted her teeth, continuing to activate the Inferno Grand Formation, drawing the vast Fire Essence from the Seal Grand Formation. Soon,
To resist the Devil God Incarnation's assault, the Inferno Grand Formation drew power from a sub-Formation of the Sealing Boundary Grand Formation. The next moment, surging torrents of fire element gushed forth from deep within the Seal Grand Formation, like an awakened ancient volcano, carrying endless heat and vitality, pouring into the Inferno Grand Formation.
In an instant, the Fire Phoenix phantom in the protective Formation, nourished by this power, gradually regained its solid form. Its wings once again became blazing hot, each feather shimmering with golden light, as if forged from the purest flames.
With the revival of the Fire Phoenix, the Inferno Grand Formation also displayed astonishing recovery. The once precarious Grand Formation barrier gradually stabilized, and cracks and damage rapidly healed under the nourishment of the fire element, as if time had reversed, and everything returned to its original state.
Seeing this, the Immortal Devil God Avatar's expression darkened. He had not expected this protective Formation to possess such tenacious vitality, nor had he expected it to be able to use the power of the Seal Grand Formation to enhance its own Formation power.
"Hmph, it's just a dying struggle! Let's see how many moves you can withstand!" The Devil God Incarnation snorted coldly, Undying Demon Qi surging again. His figure continuously shifted in the air like a phantom, swinging his sword repeatedly. Over a dozen earth-shattering Sword Qi slashed madly towards the Inferno Grand Formation.
Facing the Devil God Incarnation's storm-like attack, Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix's eyes were firm, without any hint of retreat. An unyielding flame burned in her heart—the belief in protecting this spiritual land, in protecting her master's spiritual land.
"Wind Spirit," Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix murmured, quickly forming hand Seals. The fiery Phoenix within the Inferno Grand Formation seemed to sense its master's will, violently flapping its wings. Immediately, a violent flame storm swept out from the protective Formation, colliding fiercely with the Devil God Incarnation's Sword Qi in the air.
"Bang, bang, bang!" A series of explosions rang out. Flames and Sword Qi intertwined, forming a dazzling yet dangerous curtain of light. Each collision seemed to tear this world apart, but the Inferno Grand Formation was like an indestructible fortress, firmly guarding the core of the Seal Grand Formation.
"Phoenix Soaring Nine Heavens, Blazing Flames Incinerate the World!" Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix murmured, quickly forming hand Seals, mobilizing the full potential of the Inferno Grand Formation.
The fiery Phoenix let out a heaven-shaking cry, violently flapping its wings. Immediately, a sky full of fiery rain poured down, colliding with the Sword Qi unleashed by the Devil God Incarnation. Each clash ignited brilliant sparks and intense energy fluctuations.
The battlefield, woven from fiery rain and Sword Qi, was like the end of the world. Space was constantly torn apart, then swiftly filled by nascent flames. Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix's figure flickered in and out of sight within the firelight. She used herself as a guide, merging her entire True Essence into the Inferno Grand Formation, her Divine Soul fusing with it, raising the Grand Formation's power to an unprecedented height. Fire Phoenix phantoms flew out from the Grand Formation, devouring streams of pitch-black Sword Qi within the raging flames.
Countless Fire Phoenix phantoms, each containing Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix's Dao of Fire will, circled and danced in the air, weaving a scorching net of flames that surrounded the Devil God Incarnation.
"Puff, puff, puff..."
One Fire Phoenix phantom after another collided with the Immortal Devil God Avatar's Undying Demon Qi, erupting in blinding light and deafening roars. The number of Fire Phoenix phantoms continuously increased, seemingly endless, trapping the Devil God Incarnation in this cage woven from flames.
Even the massive Demonic Dragon - You Yuan was implicated, falling into the endless crimson flames.
Seeing this, the Immortal Devil God Avatar's face grew increasingly somber. He had not expected this small protective Formation to unleash such astonishing power, nor had he expected this Seventh-Order Fire Phoenix to be able to control this power so perfectly, proving to be so troublesome.
...
At this moment, far away in the Nether Water Sea Domain, the Blood Demon Lord - Xue Yuan, leading his subordinates, entered the deep sea and engaged in a fierce battle with Xiao Shuang, who was stationed at the Sealing Boundary Grand Formation - Profound Water Spirit Formation, and a group of Void Refining Cultivators.
Blood Qi, True Water power, and Sword Qi filled the sky. The entire Nether Water Sea Domain seemed to be divided into two: one side was a thick, almost solidified, blood-colored mist, while the other was a clear-as-mirror, chillingly cold Profound Water Domain.
The Blood Demon Lord - Xue Yuan wore a blood-red robe, exuding a heart-palpitating Devilish Qi. He held a blood-colored longsword. A light touch of the sword tip on the sea surface would stir up waves of blood-colored tides.
Xuantian Sword Sect's Sword Elder - Xiao Shuang, her light blue dress fluttering in the wind, stood at the core of the Profound Water Spirit Formation. Flowing True Water spiritual light surrounded her, making her appear like a Fairy of the sea, cool and noble. In her hand, she tightly gripped an "Ice Soul Dao Sword," which complemented the surrounding biting cold Qi.
The battle intensified. Although Xiao Shuang and the Void Refining Cultivators tried their best to maintain the Profound Water Grand Formation, under the Mahayana Devil Lord Xue Yuan's fierce assault, the Grand Formation's light began to flicker erratically in the dark and deep sea, as if it could collapse at any moment.
Each of Xue Yuan's attacks was accompanied by bursts of demonic roars, echoing in the deep sea, as if to tear this sea Domain apart and utterly destroy the Profound Water Spirit Formation.
At a critical moment, a low Dragon roar suddenly came from above the deep sea. Immediately after, the seawater violently surged, and a gigantic Azure Dragon burst out from the deep sea. Its scales shimmered with faint moonlight, and its eyes were like torches, majestic and mysterious. "Fellow Daoist Qing Yue!" Xiao Shuang's heart filled with joy, and she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. This was the helper Elder Li had left behind.
After the Azure Moon True Dragon appeared, it spat out a brilliant Dragon Pearl. The Dragon Pearl floated in mid-air, emitting a soft light that instantly stabilized the tottering Profound Water Spirit Formation.
The next moment, three figures flew out from behind the Azure Moon True Dragon. They were three Dragon Guard Puppets clad in silver armor and wielding Dao Swords. Their figures were agile, and with lightning speed, they charged towards the Devil Cultivator army led by Xue Yuan.
Three Seventh-Order Puppets, clad in Seventh-Order Dao Armor, wielding Dragon Tooth Dao Swords, unafraid of pain, transformed into three extremely fast dark currents. In the gloom and chaos of the deep sea, the three Dragon Guard Puppets were like ghosts in the deep sea, moving through the Devil Cultivator army at an uncatchable speed.
"Ah! Devil Lord, save me!"
"What is this thing? It can actually ignore my Blood Blades!"
"My spiritual armor, Lord Devil Lord, help!"
...
The Devil Cultivator army behind Xue Yuan suddenly fell into chaos, screams ringing out incessantly. The three Dragon Guard Puppets moved as if in an uninhabited land, mercilessly harvesting lives like reapers of death.
As the desperate wails of the Devil Cultivator army faded, a strong smell of blood permeated the seawater, intertwining with the original blood-colored mist, making the entire deep sea even more eerie and terrifying.
The Dragon Guard Puppets' attention bought the Devil Cultivator army a glimmer of hope.
"Domain of Demonic Blood, open!"
The Blood Demon Lord - Xue Yuan was both shocked and enraged. He rapidly formed hand Seals, his entire body's Devilish Qi surging, attempting to stabilize the situation with the power of the Blood Domain. At the same time, he conjured streams of blood Clone, trying to distract the three Puppets and buy a glimmer of hope for his subordinates.
In an instant, the surrounding seawater was dyed dark red, and powerful surges of blood Qi gushed out like a tide, forming an eerie Blood Domain. In this Domain, the Devil Cultivators' strength was temporarily enhanced, while the enemies' attacks seemed to be suppressed.
However, the three Dragon Guard Puppets were unaffected by the Blood Domain. Their figures remained agile, and the Dragon Tooth Dao Swords in their hands gleamed with cold light, continuing to move through the Devil Cultivator army, harvesting lives.
"What powerful Puppets!"
"Seventh-Order Dao Swords, Seventh-Order Dao Armor! It must be the contingency Elder Li left behind!"
"Tsk tsk tsk! It's terrifying, even a Great Vehicle Dao Lord's attacks are ineffective against them!"
"The Dao Swords and Dao Armor worn by the Puppets should be from Elder Li's hand, but who refined these Puppets!"
"We're saved! Fellow Daoist Qing Yue! Thanks to your timely assistance!"
...
The Void Refining Cultivators inside the Formation, witnessing this scene, were overflowing with excitement. The expressions on their faces were no longer the helplessness and despair from before, but were replaced by hope and exhilaration. The pressure of the battle suddenly decreased, allowing them to catch their breath. Their hearts were filled with gratitude and awe for Elder Li.
"Elder Xiao, Fellow Daoist Qing Yue, and those three Puppets, they must be the last resort Elder Li left for us to guard the Seal Grand Formation," a Void Refining Cultivator said excitedly to Xiao Shuang, his eyes gleaming with the relief of having escaped disaster.
Xiao Shuang nodded slightly, her eyes also flickering with complex emotions.
If not for the Azure Moon True Dragon and the three Seventh-Order Puppets, their guarding mission would surely have gone awry. She wondered when the Sect's reinforcements would arrive, and what the situation was like at the other Sealed Lands?
"Everyone, quickly take Medicinal Pills to recover your True Essence. Later, we still need to assist Fellow Daoist Qing Yue to completely eliminate this Devil Cultivator force and ensure the safety of the Seal Grand Formation," Xiao Shuang interrupted the Cultivators' thoughts, giving a stern command.
Hearing this, the Void Refining Cultivators nodded in unison, swiftly taking out Medicinal Pills to restore True Essence from their storage rings and swallowing them without hesitation. The Medicinal Pills melted upon entry, and warm currents surged within their bodies, rapidly replenishing the True Essence consumed during the previous battle.
...
Far away in the Extreme North Spirit Domain, the cold Qi of the Ice Nether Spirit Valley seemed capable of freezing all living beings; even the air seemed to have solidified. In this desolate land covered in ice and snow, a great battle was quietly brewing, its scale large enough to shock the entire Spirit Realm.
The Yin Clan's Mahayana Dao Lord - Han Ying, was like a Death God who walked out of the netherworld. He was cloaked in a black robe, his face hidden beneath the shadow of his hood, revealing only a pair of eyes as cold as ice.
Han Ying floated in mid-air, looking down at the massive Formation below, which was condensed from Profound Yin Qi. This Grand Formation emitted a faint blue light, blending with the surrounding ice and snow, appearing both mysterious and eerie.
Behind Han Ying, nearly a hundred Yin Clan Cultivators stood in neat formation. Their faces were pale, their eyes bloodshot, and their entire bodies exuded a chilling aura, like evil spirits crawling out of Hell.
When Han Ying slowly raised his right hand and gently waved it, an invisible force instantly enveloped the entire battlefield.
The nearly hundred Yin Clan Cultivators seemed to be pulled by a mysterious force; their figures instantly blurred, transforming into black shadows, rushing towards the Ice Nether Spirit Valley's Profound Yin Grand Formation like phantoms. Their goal was clear: to destroy this Grand Formation and open the passage to the Demon Abyss World.
...
At the same time, inside the Xuantian Sword Sect's Contribution Hall, Qiu Yuanhong's expression was solemn as he scrutinized the Jade Slip in his hand.
The news from the Jade Slip made Qiu Yuanhong's heart tighten: the three Sealed Lands in the Southern Wasteland, Northern Region, and Nether Water Sea Domain were being invaded by the Devil Abyss Army, and the situation was critical. The importance of these three Sealed Lands was paramount; once lost, the two-realm passage Seal would open wide, and the entire Spirit Realm would fall into Eternal damnation, becoming a pasture for the Demon Abyss World.
"No, I must notify Elder Li as soon as possible!"
Qiu Yuanhong was extremely anxious. The Sect's several Dao Lords and all the Sword Elders were either eliminating demons outside the Domain or guarding important strongholds. At present, only the Grand Elder - Li Mu's strength was an indispensable pillar of the Sect.
Qiu Yuanhong no longer hesitated. His figure flashed, and he flew on his sword towards the Seven Profound Sect. (End of Chapter)
