Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty-Three: Ancestor Jindan - Zhou Yuanyang [Two in One]
But it was said that after Xu Song accepted Zhou Yang's instructions and went to the place where the monsters came from to check the situation, he fled back with a face full of panic not long after.
"What's going on? What makes Fellow Daoist Xu so panicked? What's going on ahead?"
Zhou Yang's heart sank and he quickly asked about the situation.
When Xu Song heard what he said, he said anxiously and loudly: "It's hard to explain this matter clearly in a few words. In short, fellow Taoist Zhou, run away quickly, or it will be too late!"
When Zhou Yang heard this, his expression suddenly changed drastically.
He knew Xu Song's character very well, and he knew that this person was definitely not someone who was afraid of getting into trouble, nor was he the kind of person who liked to exaggerate.
Therefore, he only hesitated for a moment and was ready to do as the other party said.
However, before he took action, he seemed to have discovered something, and sighed with a livid complexion: "I'm afraid it's too late!"
Almost when he finished saying this, the black sand sea not far away suddenly exploded, and a demonized "sandworm" monster covered with pitch black magic patterns emerged from it. This "sandworm" monster
The aura exuded by the beast actually showed faint signs of exceeding the fifth level!
The most special thing is that on the top of the head of this "sandworm" monster, there is a black horn that is half a foot long.
Somehow, as soon as Zhou Yang saw the black horn, his heart started to beat loudly, and his breathing became somewhat unsmooth.
But at this time, when he was observing the demonized "sandworm", the "sandworm" monster had already launched a brazen attack on him.
I saw the demonized "sandworm" monster opening its mouth wide, and a huge suction force enveloped Zhou Yang, trying to suck him into its mouth and devour him in one bite.
This is the innate devouring power of the "sandworm" monster. Once it is swallowed by suction and enters the insect's mouth, it will immediately be ground and swallowed by the saw teeth in the insect's mouth.
The reason why some golden elixir stage monks were killed by insects was because they did not discover the "sandworm" monsters hiding in the sea of sand, and were suddenly attacked by the monsters. They had no time to react before being swallowed into the insects' mouths.
However, Zhou Yang was thousands of feet away from the demonized "sand worm" at this time. This was not the first time he had fought against the "sand worm" demon, and he had already been prepared in his heart.
Therefore, after the demonized "sandworm" activated its devouring magical power, he was only forced to move a few dozen feet before he stabilized his body. Then with a wave of his hand, a ball of golden flame flew towards the demonized "sandworm" along with the suction force.
passed.
The demonized "sandworm" was not stupid. He realized that the golden flame was powerful, so he stopped his magical power midway and sprayed out a stream of black sand dust that fell on the golden flame, extinguishing the flame in one go.
At the same time, the black magic patterns on the body of the demonized "sandworm" suddenly emitted black light, and instantly turned into countless black magic eyes.
These black magic eyes all opened at this moment, and suddenly, thousands of magic lights shot towards Zhou Yang.
Without thinking about it carefully, Zhou Yang instinctively injected mana into the "Qian Yang Orb" at this moment, activating the "Qian Yang Sky Fire Shield" to protect himself.
The golden flame shield protected Zhou Yang inside, and black magic light fell on the shield, but it was unable to shake the shield at all.
"Qianyang True Fire" is extremely strong and extremely capable of restraining the power of demons. As long as Zhou Yang's mana is not exhausted, this level of demonic power is not enough to penetrate the shield and injure him.
But the bad is here.
Zhou Yang was originally involved in the "Black Sand Storm" and consumed a lot of mana. After he came out, he was besieged by countless monsters, and his mana was no longer 30% of what it was at its peak.
Now he was forced to compete with the demonized "Sandworm" for mana consumption. Even if the opponent's mana consumption was several times that of his, he couldn't defeat him at all!
So after resisting for a while and seeing that the demonic eyes on the demonized "sandworm" showed no tendency to close at all, Zhou Yang knew that he had to use thunderous means to defeat the opponent.
As for why he captured the demonized "sandworm" instead of escaping, of course it was because he couldn't outrun the opponent.
Even if the demonized "sandworm" is not a sixth-order monster, it is definitely the top fifth-order monster. In Zhou Yang's current state, playing a chase and escape game with the opponent is truly seeking death.
Therefore, if he wants to survive, he can only kill or seriously injure the demonized "sandworm" so that it can no longer pursue him.
Understanding this, Zhou Yang immediately waved his sleeves and used the "Taiyin Zanpakutō".
The "Taiyin Zanpakutō" is an ice-attributed magic weapon, which is not very suitable for Zhou Yang. If this thing falls into his hands, it can only exert 80% of its power at most.
But what he values is not the magical power attached to this magical weapon, but the powerful armor-breaking ability formed by its own material.
When he dealt with those "sandworm" monsters before, he relied on this knife to cut through the thick skin on the monsters' bodies.
At this time, he slashed out with his sword, and the silver sword light fell from the sky like a crescent moon, and landed suddenly on the demonized "sandworm".
The result surprised Zhou Yang.
The silver long knife that had easily broken through the "Sandworm" monster's defense before, this time could only leave a white mark on the body of the demonized "Sandworm", without even breaking through the outermost layer of skin defense!
"How can it be!"
Zhou Yang opened his mouth wide and couldn't help but exclaimed.
He raised his silver sword with some disbelief and slashed at the demonized "sandworm" again. The result was still the same, unable to break through the defense at all.
At this time, the demonized "Sandworm" also seemed to be angered by him. The black light on the black horn above its head flashed, and suddenly it released a sword-like black magic light that shot towards Zhou Yang.
Click!
Click click click!
The golden flame shield that was originally motionless under the bombardment of the demonic eyes of the demonized "Sandworm", because of the small sword-like black demonic light attack, instantly clicked like an egg hit by a stone.
"It broke into pieces in the sound.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of demonic eye lights were blocked by the shield and struck Zhou Yang one after another, knocking him to the ground in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, the huge body of the demonized "sandworm" suddenly disappeared from the place with an agility completely inconsistent with the body, and then directly emerged from the sea of sand where Zhou Yang fell, opening its mouth to devour him.
passed.
"How dare you, evil beast!"
Zhou Yang shouted loudly, raised his fist, and a green-gold dragon roared into the big mouth of the demonized "sandworm".
Then he twisted his body in mid-air, flew backwards for hundreds of feet out of thin air, and finally landed on the sand below.
But as soon as he regained his footing, the demonized "sandworm" that had punched him had already calmed down the fluctuations in his body and pounced on him again.
At this point in the battle, Zhou Yang already knew in his heart that if he only relied on his own strength, he would definitely be unable to defeat this demonized "sandworm" monster today.
"It seems that we can only use that thing!"
He sighed in his heart, his face full of reluctance.
The object he was thinking of was naturally the "Xuanyang Zixiao Divine Thunder" jade talisman given by "Master Xuanji" Lu Xuanji when he was in the Kunxu Realm.
This object was made by Lu Xuanji after he reached the late Nascent Soul stage. It is so powerful that it can even injure a monk in the early Nascent Soul stage. It is almost impossible for those below the Nascent Soul stage to survive this blow.
Ever since Zhou Yang got this thing, he regarded it as a treasure and wanted to save it for the most dangerous time, or even never use it.
But today's demonized "sandworm" monster is really powerful. In his extremely poor condition, if Zhou Yang doesn't use this treasure, it will be impossible to defeat him, and he will not be able to escape from the opponent's pursuit.
.
"That's all!"
With a long sigh in his mouth, Zhou Yang waved his hand and activated the purple jade talisman.
Immediately, a powerful purple thunder struck the demonized "sandworm" in the blink of an eye.
When this blow fell, the demonized "sandworm" with a body length of thousands of feet did not even have time to let out a scream. Most of its huge body was directly destroyed by the terrifying power of thunder, leaving less than one tenth.
The corpse fell to the sand below.
After Zhou Yang activated the "Xuan Yang Purple Sky Divine Thunder" jade talisman, the mana in his body was very low, and he couldn't even use the basic "Soaring into the Clouds and Riding the Mist" magical power, so he had to summon the Golden Winged Thunder Eagle Camel with a wave of his sleeves.
Live yourself.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, what happened ahead? Where did this damn demonized [sandworm] beast come from?"
On the back of the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle, Zhou Yang looked at Xu Song, who was also extremely weak, with a pale face, and asked the whole story in an annoyed tone.
He was very dissatisfied with the fact that Xu Song had attracted the demonized "Sandworm". If Xu Song hadn't attracted the demonized "Sandworm", how could he have wasted the extremely precious "Xuanyang Purple Sky Divine Thunder" jade talisman?
?
If Xu Song didn't give him an explanation today, he would definitely not let him have an easy time.
How could Xu Song not hear the anger in his words? After hearing the words, he quickly said: "It's the passage to the Demon Realm! There is another huge space crack in front, which should lead to the legendary Demon Realm!"
"The monsters that Zhou Daoyou killed before were monsters and ordinary beasts in the sand sea that were transformed by the erosion of the devil's energy. This demonized [sandworm] monster also mutated into a monster by absorbing the pure devil's energy that overflowed from the cracks in the space.
From Warcraft!"
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, the reason why you consume more mana when flying and fighting in this [Death Sand Sea] is also because the cracks in the space appear, attracting the spiritual energy of the surrounding area to pour into it, resulting in a soul-absorbing effect!"
What?
Passage to the devil world!
Zhou Yang looked at Xu Song with a shocked face, almost doubting that he heard it wrong!
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"The demonic passages in this world have all been closed and sealed by the powerful monks in ancient times. How could one of them appear here without incident?"
"And if it is really a passage to the demon world, it must be guarded by sixth-level monsters. How could you come back alive if you went to spy on it?"
Zhou Yang came back to his senses and looked at Xu Song complaining with a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face, his eyes full of shock and anger.
Regarding the "passage to the devil world", he undoubtedly knows better than Xu Song.
Because when he was in the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, he once entered a secret realm called the "Demon Sealing Cave" that sealed the "Demon Realm Passage".
Therefore, he knew very well that even if there was a "demon channel" that could not be closed in the "Linghuan Realm", it must have been sealed by the true immortals of the Tribulation Period in ancient times, and there were special powerful forces to guard and suppress it.
If there really is such a "passage to the demon world" in the boundless sea of sand and immortality, how could it not be guarded by a strong person?
However, facing his doubts, Xu Song shook his head and said loudly:
"No, how dare Xu talk nonsense about such a big matter!"
"Although Xu doesn't know where the space crack came from, Xu dares to guarantee with his life that the other side of the space crack is definitely the legendary demon world!"
"Only the legendary demon world can exude such pure demonic energy!"
"If you don't believe it, Fellow Daoist Zhou, you can go and have a look in person."
Go and have a look in person?
Zhou Yang's expression changed, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
He didn't want to believe Xu Song's words, but he couldn't accept the breaking news for the moment.
But if Xu Song’s words are true, what if he encounters a sixth-level monster in the past?
Without the "Xuan Yang Zi Xiao Divine Thunder" jade talisman, he would have no power to resist when encountering an existence of that level.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Zhou, there shouldn't be any sixth-level monsters there. Otherwise, if you just used [Qianyang True Fire] to kill monsters here and killed a demonized [Sandworm], it would have come to deal with you long ago! "
Xu Song saw the worry in Zhou Yang's heart and whispered to help him strengthen his confidence.
He knew in his heart that if Zhou Yang was not allowed to see the "space crack" with his own eyes, the matter would be a knot that would be difficult to untie.
"It's not urgent!"
"It's just like what you said. There are no sixth-level monsters. In our current state, just one more [Sandworm] can easily defeat you and me."
"Let's retreat first. After we recover, it won't be too late to go over there and find out what's going on!"
After Zhou Yang pondered for a while, he decided to play it safe. He put away the remains of the demonized "sandworm" after his death and left the place on a golden-winged thunder eagle.
Seven days later, Zhou Yang, who had recovered his condition, returned to the place where he killed the demonized "sandworm" that day, and under the leadership of Xu Song, flew towards the location of the "space crack".
After he flew thousands of miles, he saw the "space crack" Xu Song mentioned from hundreds of miles away.
The moment he saw the "space crack", Zhou Yang understood why Xu Song was so sure that this "space crack" led to the legendary "Devil Realm"!
Hundreds of miles away, less than a hundred feet away from the ground, a dark crack nearly thirty feet long and five feet wide appeared in mid-air out of thin air.
Every once in a while, pure demonic energy as dark as ink will overflow from the crack and be absorbed by countless monsters gathered around the crack.
Zhou Yang looked around and saw that with the "space crack" as the center, there were at least tens of thousands of monsters gathered, all of which were transformed from various monsters and beasts in the sand sea.
He even saw three demonized "sandworms" with a body length of thousands of feet. However, the aura emitted by those demonized "sandworms" was not as powerful as the one he killed seven days ago. It was roughly equivalent to the fifth level. It's just a top-grade monster.
Even so, it is enough to frighten people.
Fortunately, those monsters were focused on absorbing the magic energy emanating from the cracks in the refining space, and because they were hundreds of miles away, Zhou Yang asked Xu Song to cover his own aura with yin energy, so the monsters were not disturbed.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou also saw it. If the crack in space does not lead to the legendary demon world, how come there is so much pure demonic energy constantly overflowing?"
Xu Song pointed at the crack in space from a distance and said that he was innocent.
Zhou Yang listened to his words and said nothing.
In fact, when he saw the demonic energy emanating from the space crack, he believed Xu Song's words.
Even when he was in the "Demon Sealing Cave", he didn't see that kind of pure demonic energy.
This is not surprising. The "demon passage" in the "Demon Sealing Cave" is sealed by the formation after all, and the demonic energy in it is mostly generated by the small world of the cave itself.
He used the "Lihuo Golden Eye" and looked around. Centered on the space crack, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the surrounding area of hundreds of miles was almost non-existent, and instead was filled with a faint black devilish energy.
This means that that area has become a "land of extraordinary spirits" and has been transformed by evil energy into a magic soil that nourishes monsters.
And as time goes by, as more demonic energy leaks out of the cracks in the space, the area of this demonic land will become larger and larger.
If no one seals the space crack and purifies the demonic energy in the demonic soil, I am afraid that in tens of thousands of years, the entire boundless sea of sand will turn into a demonic soil!
At this time, Zhou Yang felt lucky. Fortunately, this space crack was opened in the "Sea of Death Sand", which is rarely visited by humans.
Otherwise, if this appeared in the Immortal Realm of the Boundless Sand Sea, the number of monsters gathered under the space crack at this time would be more than tens of thousands.
"Let's go back to the Immortal Realm of the Boundless Sand Sea. We must inform the Nascent Soul stage monks as soon as possible about the news of this space crack. Only they can close and seal this space crack!"
Zhou Yang took a deep look at the dark space crack, greeted Xu Song, turned around and left the place.
Strictly speaking, only true immortals in the Tribulation Stage can handle things like space cracks.
Because under normal circumstances, only true immortals in the Tribulation Stage can break the space of the "Ling Huan Realm" and create such things as space cracks.
At the same time, under normal circumstances, the torn space cracks will be repaired by the "Linghuan Realm"'s own laws of heaven and earth in a short time, and will not exist forever.
But like that space crack that leaks out demonic energy, because it is connected to another, higher world, it can no longer be repaired by relying solely on the power of the laws of heaven and earth in the "Linghuan Realm". It requires someone who can mobilize the laws of heaven and earth.
Only the help of strong people can repair and smooth it out.
A monk in the Nascent Soul stage understands the laws of heaven and earth. Even if he cannot break the laws of heaven and earth and tear apart space, he can only mobilize the power of the laws of heaven and earth to help repair a crack in space. There is still hope.
However, there are not many Nascent Soul stage monks who can do this. At least, only those who are at the ninth level of Nascent Soul and "Half-step True Immortal" can do it.
And Zhou Yang just knew an existence of this level!
He also believed that Lu Xuanji, the "Master of Xuanji" as the supreme elder of the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, would never sit back and watch the tentacles of the "Demon Realm" extend into the "Linghuan Realm".
More than a month later, after getting lost countless times, Zhou Yang finally crossed the entire "Sea of Death Sand" and returned to the boundless sand sea of the Immortal Realm.
After returning to the boundless sand sea and the Immortal Realm area, things will be easier to handle. Zhou Yang only needs to go all the way east and determine his location through the oases found along the way.
If that didn't work, he could fly all the way to the western foot of the Duanyun Mountain Range, and then go south and north through this landmark to determine his direction.
With his cultivation at the Golden Core stage, it would not take half a year to fly across the entire boundless sand sea to cultivate immortality without dangerous threats such as "Sand Worm" monsters and "Black Sand Storm".
In fact, after one and a half months, Zhou Yang returned to the Rhinoceros Horn Oasis!
At this time, almost sixty-six years have passed since Zhou Yang led the Zhou family monks to the far west to cultivate the world of immortality. In a few months, he himself will be three hundred years old.
Sixty-six years have passed, and the Zhou family has almost completed the development of the entire Rhinoceros Continent.
As soon as Zhou Yang entered the Rhinoceros Continent, he found many traces of mortal activities on the oasis. These mortal activity areas even reached the edge of the Rhinoceros Continent. This shows that the Zhou family must have developed this oasis to a very high level.
.
Normally, Zhou Yang would not be in a hurry to return to his family to meet his relatives at this time, but would first go around to inspect the family's situation.
His past life experience told him that a superior person can only see the true side of the world outside without notifying anyone.
But now, he has so many things on his mind that he has no time to pay attention to them.
Even if he really wanted to rectify the family, he would have to wait until he came back from helping Lu Xuanji in the Immortal Realm of Liuyun Continent before considering the matter.
Therefore, he soon appeared in the sky above Lingxi Peak, strongly announcing his return with the golden auspicious clouds under his feet.
"Soaring into the clouds and riding on the mist" is the signature magical power of Golden Core monks. For low-level monks, it is the best reference for identifying Golden Core monks.
"Look, look what that is!"
"Golden auspicious clouds, does it mean that only the ancestors of the Golden Core stage can master the magical power of soaring into the clouds and driving through the mist?"
"The senior above Xiangyun looks very familiar. I seem to have seen him somewhere before? Do you feel this way?"
…………
On Lingxi Peak, some low-level Zhou family monks who were working outside and practicing saw a golden auspicious cloud suddenly appear in the sky. Their attention was attracted by it and they put down their affairs, and started talking about it.
Most of these low-level monks are young people with low cultivation. Zhou Yang, the supreme elder of the Zhou family, has been away from home for more than sixty years. They have only seen his portrait in the ancestral temple, but have never seen him.
Real person, it's not surprising that he couldn't recognize his identity for a while.
However, the purple monks and foundation-building monks of the Zhou family who were practicing in the cave on the mountain recognized him at a glance after they felt the aura of the golden elixir monks deliberately released by Zhou Yang and came out to check the situation.
"You are so impudent!"
"This is Zhou Yuanyang, the supreme elder of the Zhou family. Now I have returned after cultivating the golden elixir. Why don't you kneel down to greet me!"
Zhou Guangxiang and Xiao Ying are the monks of the Zhou Family Zifu who are in charge of Lingxi Peak, while Zhou Guangxiang is in charge at the Chihu Mountain Oasis.
Seeing Zhou Yang return at this time, Xiao Ying's face turned into a ray of blue light with excitement and she threw herself into Zhou Yang's arms.
Zhou Guangxiang, on the other hand, suppressed the excitement in his heart while sternly yelling at the tribesmen who were talking about their elders in private, and loudly announced Zhou Yang's identity with a face full of joy.
