Chapter 399 Endless Demonic Abyss, Heavenly Magical Treasure
Ten Thousand Demons Valley, hidden in a cave.
"I'm over 400 years old."
Lu Changan opened his deep and boundless eyes, having just completed a divination.
"It seems that I can't stay in Dayuan for too long. Otherwise, it will attract the attention of Yuanying great cultivators sooner or later."
As a fourth-level divination master, Lu Changan could get a glimpse of the general situation outside even if he didn't investigate in person.
He had too many secrets, and there was a certain cause and effect. Once his fame became too big, it would definitely not be a good thing.
Dayuan's immortal cultivation civilization was prosperous, and high-level cultivators had more vision. Some top forces had no shortage of fourth-level divination masters.
Without absolute strength, the greater the fame, the less secure Lu Changan felt.
He made up his mind to speed up the process of returning to Daqing after completing the agreement to assist Jing Wufeng in sealing the demons.
...
Lu Changan stood up and came to the outside of the cave.
Jing Wufeng was wearing a green silk shirt with a dark gold and simple inner armor lining, and his figure was more burly than before.
The ancient armor obtained from Ba Wu Zhen Jun was repaired by Jing Wu Feng and turned into an inner armor.
This ancient armor was refined by different techniques on Jing Wu Feng, and its color and shape were more inclined to the right path.
Lu Changan thought to himself that with this inner armor containing the material of ancient treasures, Jing Wu Feng made up for his "shortcomings" in defense.
Jing Wu Feng's spiritual consciousness and magic power were both higher than those of the same level, and his attack, lethality, and mobility were very strong.
Perhaps because he had mastered the top spiritual skills, or because he was a fourth-level formation master, his spiritual consciousness was almost as good as that of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
Lu Changan once simulated with an imaginary enemy and thought that Jing Wu Feng's defense was not outstanding (still stronger than the average early stage of the Nascent Soul), but ordinary cultivators could not touch him.
Of course, Jing Wu Feng's strength has improved, and the journey of sealing the demon is more certain, so Lu Changan doesn't mind.
"Master Xiang, this time when we go to the Endless Demonic Abyss, our mission is just to repair the seal and block the key channel for the leakage of demonic energy. During this period, we may encounter some monsters."
"Now, the demon turmoil is about to end. As long as there are no accidents, the risk of this operation will not be higher than the battle against the seven great masters."
Jing Wufeng's tone was calm, which made Lu Changan feel at ease.
"I hope so."
In the past year, Lu Changan had tried to deduce the risks of this operation.
However, the core of the Central Domain Forbidden Land is said to suppress the immortal giant demons, involving the secrets of the ancient war, and the secrets are obscure, like a chaos.
The difficulty of divination is no less than calculating a god-transforming celestial master.
Fortunately, there was no sudden inspiration, and there was no great disaster and catastrophe in the face of crisis.
The risk of the hexagram was erratic and fluctuating. This made Lu Changan understand that it was best to play it safe and not to make trouble.
…
Going to the center of the ancient forbidden land, Jing Wufeng and Lu Changan hurried on their way carefully, avoiding some dangerous places, including tribes where a large number of monsters gathered.
The closer to the center of the forbidden land, the less spiritual energy there is in the world, and the more intense the evil spirit is.
Once entangled by powerful monsters and surrounded by a large number of monster tribes, it is difficult to replenish mana, and the Yuanying cultivator may also die without a place to bury his body.
The most dangerous are some dangerous places, which may directly threaten or trap the Yuanying Zhenjun.
For example, some impermanent winds can make the Yuanying consciousness sink, lose itself, or instantly age the body and reduce the life span.
There are also space cracks scattered around.
Some space cracks are clearly visible, while some are hidden in the void, hidden in the dark, and difficult to detect.
Fortunately, Jing Wufeng has a Wukong Dao body, and his skills are mainly based on space and wind, and he is extremely sensitive to space fluctuations. Those hidden space cracks cannot escape his detection.
In a few days, the two of them only went less than 10,000 miles deep.
"Follow closely, Fellow Daoist Xiang."
Surrounding an unstable space crack, Jing Wufeng said solemnly:
"The route selected by Jing has some space cracks nearby, but it can avoid other risks, especially some powerful and strange monsters."
For this mission, Jing Wufeng searched for ancient books and materials about the forbidden land in the Central Region decades in advance.
In addition, he had explored the route briefly in advance and had a relatively reliable route.
"Yes."
Lu Changan tried to take the route Jing Wufeng took.
He had already let the fourth life come, and his soul senses were comparable to the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
At this moment, he sensed a larger space crack nearby, which was dark and unpredictable, exuding an unstable aura of destruction, and also accompanied by an alien aura.
"I wonder where this space crack leads to?"
Lu Changan heard from Jing Wufeng that many medium and large space cracks lead to somewhere in the human world.
The other end may be a dangerous Jedi; it may be a state boundary in the Tianheng Continent; it may also be a lost unknown space or a void wasteland.
The journey was boring, so be alert at all times.
During the break, Lu Changan asked Jing Wufeng about the secrets of the Central Domain Forbidden Land and the Endless Demon Abyss.
The history of the Central Domain Forbidden Land of the Great Abyss dates back to the ancient war.
At that time, the human world where the Tianyan Continent was located had far more resources than in recent times, and could be cultivated to a higher limit.
"For a period of time, the 'Demon Peak Realm' ruled by the ancient demons was close to the Tianheng Human World. Many channels between the two realms were opened up, and the Tianheng Continent was frequently invaded."
"So, the Endless Demon Abyss we are heading to is a space passage between the two worlds left by the ancient war?"
Lu Changan's eyes flashed, and his guess was confirmed.
"That's right! There are more than one or two such passages between the two worlds in Tianheng Continent, and there are also several in the outer sea."
When Jing Wufeng stated, his eyes swept across the ancient battlefield where the forbidden area was located, with a look of admiration.
Those magnificent terrains and fragmented mountains and rivers are all witnesses of the ancient war.
Including the deep valleys and gullies that are hundreds of miles long nearby, and dangerous space cracks.
"In that ancient heyday, it is said that there was no shortage of spiritual treasures above three calamities. Even the legendary Xiaoxuantian treasure once appeared. Unlike the human world today, the resources are so poor that breaking through the transformation of the gods is a miracle of heaven and earth..."
Jing Wufeng sighed, admiring and yearning in his heart.
Hearing about Xiaoxuantian, Lu Changan's heart was slightly trembling, and he remained calm.
"The ancient books of Dayuan record that the center of the forbidden land once sealed the immortal ancient giant demon. Is this true?"
Lu Changan responded with a few words and then changed the subject.
"When we get there, Fellow Daoist Xiang will be able to get a glimpse of the clues."
Jing Wufeng smiled and kept it a secret.
...
A month later.
Jing Wufeng and Lu Changan traveled a long distance in the ancient forbidden land.
Even if they tried to avoid many risks, they inevitably encountered some difficult monsters.
There were two or three fourth-level monsters that were seriously injured and repelled.
Because they were in a dangerous demon land, Lu Changan and the others were reserved and did not dare to chase and capture the monsters.
Even when Lu Changan detected the remains of the cave left by the ancient cultivators in a dangerous place, he did not explore it.
Because the risks of the hexagrams were erratic, Lu Changan put stability first and did not act greedily.
That day, after climbing over a steep peak, Lu Changan finally got a glimpse of the legendary endless demon abyss.
From a distance, a dark pillar of demonic energy can be seen, magnificent and stunning, entangled by the five-color lightning, and rushing straight into the majestic demonic cloud on the sky, occasionally producing black destructive thunders when intertwined.
Lu Changan's heart trembled, feeling extremely depressed.
The demonic energy pillar rushed straight into the sky, erupting the accumulated majestic demonic cloud, boundless and endless, overwhelming demonic power, making the Yuanying Zhenjun standing at the top of the cultivation world feel insignificant.
The source of the demonic energy pillar is a bottomless abyss with a diameter of hundreds of miles below, like an irregular ancient well.
The outer edge and inner wall of the endless abyss are engraved with ancient silver-gray array patterns, and every mile there is a bronze array base, releasing five-color electric chains.
Many five-color electric chains are connected to each other, forming an inverted bowl-shaped sealing light shield, and the five-color electric clouds are presented when the light flows.
The sealing light shield is not airtight, but a mesh. The five-colored electric arc occasionally passed through the gap, allowing only a small amount of demonic energy to leak out.
There were many mesh holes, and the amount of demonic energy leaked accumulated little by little, which was also quite considerable.
What was even more terrifying was that a large hole was torn in the center of the sealing light shield, accompanied by several small holes around it.
These large and small holes leaked a large amount of demonic energy, and a low and shocking roar from the abyss could be heard faintly from inside.
"Fellow Daoist Jing, why is the seal formation set up by the ancient great power in a net shape, leaving so many gaps? It gives demonic energy and monsters an opportunity to disrupt the human world."
Lu Changan asked with a vague guess.
"First, it is the cost of materials and the supply of spiritual energy. Second, it is better to dredge than to block, and seal the big instead of the small, to reduce the long-term load of the seal formation."
Jing Wufeng gave his insights from the perspective of the fourth-level formation master through ancient books.
"Seal the big but not the small? No wonder the demonic energy in the Central Region is stagnant and demons are everywhere. Every cycle, there will be demon turmoil."
Lu Changan thought to himself that even an ancient cultivator would have to consider the economic cost of building such a grand project.
...
During the flight to the Demon Abyss, the two encountered trouble.
Countless demon bats and demon moths came out from the deep mountain caves around the Endless Abyss and pounced on Lu Changan and Jing Wufeng.
Lu Changan had encountered this kind of demon bats and demon moths before, but he had never encountered such a huge number, tens of thousands, black and dense, covering the sky and the sun.
Most of these moth bats are below the third level, and the proportion of high-level ones is relatively low. No fourth-level ones have appeared for the time being.
Even so, it gave the two Yuanying Zhenjun a headache and they were tired of it.
Because they could not be killed at all.
In the ancient forbidden land with strong demonic energy, the cultivators' mana recovery is slow and they mainly rely on spirit stones and elixirs.
The demon bats in the sky screamed with sonic waves, and the terrifying killing power gathered was enough to make the Jindan cultivator dizzy and vomit blood.
Those relatively small demon moths emitted powder smoke, which contained a strong poison and could penetrate everywhere.
Lu Changan activated the magic shield, pinched his fingers to cast fire spells, and burned the invading demon bats and demon moths into ashes.
According to previous experience, these dense demon bats and demon moths are more afraid of fire spells.
Neither of them practiced fire-based exercises, but normal cultivators are born with all five elements of spiritual roots, and they just choose the best spiritual root to practice.
Through the transfer and conversion of mana, other types of spells can be cast in theory, but the power and efficiency are lower.
Since wood produces fire, Lu Changan's wood spirit root wood-based skills can cast fire-based spells more smoothly.
"Strange! Demon bats and demon moths should belong to different demonized species. Why can these two monsters join forces to deal with outsiders?"
Lu Changan frowned and thought, with the long-lasting magic power in his body, constantly killing two flying monsters.
The sound waves of the demon bats interfered all the time, and the dark moth bats and demonic energy covered the sky. Lu Changan's consciousness could not find the source for a while.
"Fellow Daoist Xiang, these monsters are endless. We can only reach the Demon Abyss under their interference. At the critical moment, use powerful magic weapons and magical powers to clear the field and hurry up to repair the seal."
Jing Wufeng was surrounded by a layer of translucent space ripples and half robes. While pinching the formula to cast fire spells, he suggested.
"It's the only way. We'll see what happens when the time comes."
Lu Changan nodded, and couldn't think of a better way.
The two of them consumed a lot of mana, and their minds were exhausted. Finally, they arrived at the edge of the endless demon abyss.
Due to the existence of the Demon Abyss Sealing Array, the two of them didn't have to face the demon bats and demon moths flying in all directions, and the pressure was a little less.
The sealing light shield covering the abyss, those flying monsters were turned into black smoke by the flashing five-color arcs as soon as they approached.
The two stood beside the Demon Abyss, took out the top-grade spirit stones, spirit pills and spirit liquids, and quickly replenished their mana.
Lu Changan floated in the air, looking at the situation under the sealed Demon Abyss.
His pupils shrank, his mind was shocked, and goose bumps appeared all over his body.
In the depths of the Demonic Abyss, in the forbidden area surrounded by the magic fog, eight dragon-patterned gold chains as thick as buckets, crisscrossed, and the golden array patterns flickered, locking a huge and majestic "giant head" halfway up the well of the abyss. The troll body under the magic fog could not be seen clearly.
The giant head, comparable to a mountain, looked at Lu Changan with empty and indifferent pupils.
Boom!
Lu Changan's Yuanying trembled, as if struck by lightning, and he quickly retracted his gaze, not daring to look at it.
Fortunately, the troll head seemed unconscious, and the neck area was tightly strangled by eight thick dragon-patterned gold chains, which also stuck the troll body below.
Lu Changan looked at the eight dragon-patterned gold chains. The surface of the chains as thick as buckets, in addition to the dense array patterns, also had lifelike golden dragon scales on its surface, exuding the charm of heaven and earth, as if there were really eight golden dragons circling and interlacing.
Lu Changan felt that the pseudo-spiritual treasure [Sky-Splitting Axe] used by Jing Wufeng pales in comparison to the eight golden dragon chains, and is not as good as one or two grades.
"Sky-reaching spiritual treasure, Eight Dragon Locks."
Jing Wufeng admired it with an archaeological gaze and murmured.
Sky-reaching spiritual treasure?
Lu Changan had only heard of spiritual treasures, and the real spiritual treasures had already disappeared in the Tianheng human world.
...
Jing Wufeng retracted his gaze and observed the large and small holes on the sealing light net.
The largest hole had serious leakage of demonic energy, and powerful monsters could occasionally drill out.
At this moment, a six-foot-tall, two-headed, four-armed black-robed ancient demon was trying to drill out of the hole in the five-color electric haze light net.
Sizzle!
The flickering residual electric haze hit the two-headed, four-armed ancient demon, and the demonic energy dissipated, producing a large amount of black smoke, causing it to roll down.
Only a piece of torn black robe was left floating there.
Even though the two-headed, four-armed ancient demon was covered with wounds and his aura was declining, Lu Changan could still feel terrible pressure from the seal formation.
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist Xiang. Monsters above the fourth stage cannot break through the seal formation at present."
Jing Wufeng secretly sweated and said with a relaxed tone.
After all, it was his first time to repair the seal formation, and many of his statements came from theory.
At this time, the nearby demon bats and demon moths gathered in large numbers and swallowed the two of them above their heads and on both sides.
"Fellow Daoist Xiang, prepare to clear the surrounding monsters to buy time for repairing the seal."
Jing Wufeng's face was solemn.
When he repaired the seal formation later, he had to concentrate most of his energy and could only passively defend against the attack of flying monsters.
"Fellow Daoist Jing, Xiang has a fire-type magic weapon in his hand, which is suitable for clearing the field. If the two of us join forces, we should be able to exert great power."
Lu Changan suggested to sacrifice a purple gourd magic weapon, which was the sect-guarding magic weapon obtained from Lihuo Shangren.
"Okay, first clear the monsters around, then set up the illusion array, and try to delay the time."
Jing Wufeng's mana was almost recovered, and he raised his hand to inject mana into the [Lihuo Gourd] in front of him to help Lu Changan exert the power of the magic weapon.
Whoosh!
The two Yuanying Zhenjuns injected their mana together, and the purple gourd expanded rapidly, as if it turned into a huge furnace, spewing out purple fire clouds and seas of fire, burning tens of thousands of monsters in an instant.
The fan-shaped area where the two were located was covered by purple fire clouds and seas of fire, isolating a diameter of three miles.
The demon bats and demon moths a little further away felt the terrifying purple flames of Lihuo, and instinctively trembled, stiffened for a short time, and slowed down their offensive.
Taking advantage of this time, Jing Wufeng came to the air near the seal hole and set up the fourth-level illusion array.
Due to the surrounding demonic energy and the lack of foundation spiritual veins, the power of the spiritual stone formation alone was not enough, so Lu Changan sacrificed a puppet formation with sixteen puppets as an auxiliary formation base.
Lu Changan alone controlled the top-grade magic weapon [Lihuo Gourd], and the mana consumption was huge to deal with the huge number of demon bats and demon moths, and it could not last too long.
"Fellow Daoist Xiang, enter the formation."
In just a moment, Jing Wufeng set up the Fantasy Sky Formation and opened a portal for Lu Changan to come in.
Lu Changan put away the [Lihuo Gourd], and the fire cloud and sea of fire outside could still last for a moment.
The sea of fire was isolated from the fourth-level formation, and the huge number of demon bats and demon moths could not come in in a short time.
...
Lu Changan breathed a sigh of relief and sat cross-legged in the Fantasy Sky Formation to recover.
Jing Wufeng concentrated his energy and prepared to repair the seal formation.
He looked thoughtful, weighed the repair plan, and took out a silver storage bag containing the materials provided by the task.
Lu Changan was secretly surprised: "The seal formation is at least of the fifth-grade high-grade. Even though Jing Wufeng is a fourth-grade formation master and is proficient in the way of space, it is probably unrealistic to repair it in a short time without special research." Lu Changan speculated that the sect master behind Jing Wufeng provided the blueprint information of the seal formation. For example, the space teleportation formation of Tinghai Pavilion, the fourth-grade formation master Shahai Zhenjun, studied it for several years before obtaining a general plan for repair. And this seal formation is even higher than the space teleportation formation of Tinghai Pavilion. Time passed slowly. Jing Wufeng tested it with a small hole, took out the material, and sacrificed the light silver life fire to melt it into the seal formation. The first attempt was not very successful. A new five-color arc extended from the small hole, but it was not connected in the end. It was only half repaired. After this repair, Jing Wufeng showed joy and found the trick. When he tested it for the second time, the Fantasy Sky Formation trembled and faced a fierce attack.
Although the Fantasy Sky Formation was strong, the number of demon bats and demon moths from the outside world was endless, occupying the geographical advantage of demonic energy.
After strangling tens of thousands of monsters, the Fantasy Sky Formation was torn open, and demon bats and demon moths from the outside world continued to break in.
"Thank you for protecting the Dharma, Master Xiang. In about two hours, Jing can repair the seal formation."
Jing Wufeng concentrated on repairing it without looking back.
"Yes."
Lu Changan's magic power had not yet recovered completely. Seeing that the number of demon bats and demon moths that came in was not too large, he patted his spirit pet bag and summoned Lord Di Yan.
"Help me protect the Dharma and kill the monsters."
"Yes, master."
Lord Di Yan transformed into a giant rat king, blocking the crack of the Fantasy Sky Formation, and killed several monsters with one claw.
He spit out another yellow sand demon wind, strangling the demon bats and demon moths from the outside world.
It's no wonder that without using the [Lihuo Gourd], Di Yanjun's efficiency in killing monsters is not inferior to Lu Changan.
But in less than half an hour, the crack in the Fantasy Sky Array widened, and more demon bats and demon moths rushed in.
What's worse is that the second gap began to appear.
Lu Changan thought about it, and in order to deal with unknown risks, he sent out a fourth-level puppet to resist the second gap.
Even if there are residual monsters rushing in, there are still the stranglehold of the illusion array and the puppet array.
At this time, Jing Wufeng was already repairing the biggest hole in the seal array.
As long as this place is repaired, he can pass the first round of trials.
Sweat oozes from Jing Wufeng's forehead, and he repairs it with all his strength.
...
Boom!
After holding on for an hour, the Fantasy Sky Array finally collapsed, and the demon bats and demon moths from the outside world rushed in like a black tide.
Lu Changan found that the flying monsters from the outside world were not as dense as before, and were a little loose. It seems that the monsters are not really endless.
However, the bats and moths that are attacking are of higher quality and are all elites, so the danger is increasing instead of decreasing.
Jing Wufeng at the center of the puppet army formation.
Lu Changan, the fourth-level puppet, and Di Yanjun are in a triangle on the periphery, killing the endless flying monsters.
At the same time.
Behind a large number of bats and moths, in an area covered by the magic mist, there is a female demon with a moon-blue skin texture and thin wings on her back.
"The one who repaired the seal formation should be the descendant of Tianyi Sect. The human cultivator who assisted has a fourth-level real puppet and a fourth-level demon king. Even if I take action myself, I am not sure."
This female demon has dark blue eyes and a faint flickering crescent mark between her eyebrows, like the light of a frosty moon.
She held a scepter inlaid with a blue-black moon-shaped gemstone and prayed devoutly:
"Sir, I request your response. Otherwise, this long-prepared plan may fail."
The scepter of the Moon Demon Priest trembled, and the blue-black moon-shaped gemstone inlaid on it flashed a ray of divine thoughts that solidified the void.
...
Hmm~
At the end of the Endless Demon Abyss, the huge head locked by the Tongtian Lingbao [Eight Dragon Lock], one of the indifferent pupils lit up a dark blue crescent mark.
The troll's eyes were still indifferent, but for the first time, a trace of emotion flowed out, and it locked onto Jing Wufeng and Lu Changan above the Demonic Abyss Seal.
"What's going on!"
Lu Changan was frightened, and Jing Wufeng also stopped repairing the formation, both of them felt a great breath of terror.
Immediately, the head of the dead troll heard the instinctive roar, and a low "hmm".
The moment the hmm sounded.
Lu Changan and Jing Wufeng's souls were shocked, and blood flowed from all seven orifices.
On the contrary, the fourth-level puppet of the Earth Rock Lord was only slightly affected.
Boom!
In the entire abyss, the demonic energy exploded, and the spiritual light of the seal formation ran wildly, as if the demonic tide was restarted.
Bang!
The big hole in the center of the seal formation was penetrated by a demonic tide that exploded, and it was offset and annihilated by the five-colored lightning clouds that grew nearby.
Fortunately, this demonic energy explosion was only a moment and did not last.
In a short-term accident.
There were also abnormalities in the sealed hole.
First, a torn black robe floated out.
Second, a huge monster emerged.
