The deep exploration into the Demon Realm went surprisingly smoothly.
Zhou Yang and others thought that no matter how empty the demonic realm was at the moment, if they wanted to reach the top of the original Ice Sea Demonic Abyss, they would have to go through a hard fight to succeed.
But in fact, during this journey, except for the occasional blind monster that crashed into the air boat and died, there was no obstacle.
This is definitely not normal!
"Less than a thousand miles ahead is the location of the Ice Sea Demonic Abyss. Not a single demon came out to stop them along the way. Xu guessed that they wanted to concentrate their efforts on the Demonic Abyss to have a showdown with me. There they
Occupying a huge geographical advantage, fellow Taoists, please be careful and don’t be careless!”
On the flying boat, Xu Tianlin slowed down the speed of the flying boat slightly, looked at Zhou Yang and other fourteen monks with a serious expression and gave instructions.
As the leader of this trip, this is his responsibility. Regardless of whether others have this awareness or not, he must speak up and say it again.
None of the cultivators said a word, but they all held their proud magic weapons tightly in their hands, showing their importance with practical actions.
Not long after, the flying boat officially arrived over the Ice Sea Demonic Abyss.
This so-called Ice Sea Demonic Abyss, although it has the word "ice sea", actually has nothing to do with the ocean.
The word "ice sea" here actually describes an ice lake as wide and boundless as the ocean.
This ice lake was formed in ancient times. The reason why such a huge ice lake was originally formed was because in ancient times, the cultivators with great supernatural powers fought here with the real demons of the demon world who guarded the passage to the demon world, causing the earth to sink.
The Demonic Abyss is a huge crack dozens of miles wide and hundreds of miles long above the ice lake.
This crack did not exist in ancient times.
In ancient times, after those cultivators with great magical powers destroyed the passage to the demon world, they first used their great magical powers to purify the demonic energy that spread in all directions. Later, another cultivator with great magical powers who was good at ice magical powers laid out a sealing formation to cover the ice lake.
Thousands of feet of solid ice acted as a cover, blocking the evil energy gushing from the bottom of the icy lake below.
It's just that it's better to block it than to open it up. There's no problem with this kind of seal lasting for hundreds of thousands of years. But as time goes by, as more and more demonic energy accumulates at the bottom of the ice lake, there is something wrong with the seal after all.
The huge crack that formed the Demonic Abyss was formed after the initial burst of demonic energy.
However, although the demonic energy broke out and broke through the seal at that time, it was quickly suppressed and purified by a Tribulation-Transcending True Immortal from another world of immortal cultivation.
However, although the True Immortal Transcending Tribulation was powerful, he was unable to repair the seal because the magical powers he cultivated were not ice magical powers.
So he could only set up a large formation near the Demonic Abyss to purify the demonic energy that overflowed from the Demonic Abyss, and at the same time, he ordered the major forces in the Beitingzhou Immortal Cultivation Circle to establish a station next to the Demonic Abyss, and sent people in turns to monitor the guards to prevent demonic cultivators from breaking in.
Entering the Demonic Abyss to practice.
In the past thousands of years, it is not that there have been no demon cultivators with the idea of attacking the Ice Sea Demonic Abyss.
But even if there are demonic cultivators who can successfully break into the Demonic Abyss through the obstruction of the guarding monks, they can only break through to a small level with the help of the abundant demonic energy. It is impossible to make the demonic energy in the Demonic Abyss return to a large scale.
Eruption.
That's why "Master Tianzhi" guided the demonic energy in the Ice Sea Demonic Abyss to burst out this time, which made Zhou Yang suspect that a powerful being from the upper world was involved.
After this outbreak of demonic energy, the area of the demonic abyss also expanded several times.
The Demon Abyss that now appears in the sight of Zhou Yang and others is a huge ice abyss that is a hundred miles wide and nearly two thousand miles long. Demonic energy as black as ink is constantly spurting out from the ice abyss like thick mist.
, continue to provide strength support for the existence of the entire demonic realm.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, what do you think those demons are planning? We have already reached this place and they haven't shown their heads yet. Is it because they are sure that we cannot cause harm to this demonic realm?"
After the cultivators looked at the demonic abyss for a while, the monk surnamed You from the Jiuyang Sect frowned and looked at Xu Tianlin, and whispered his doubts in a low voice.
Judging from the current situation, Xu Tianlin's previous judgment is obviously not completely correct.
The demon cultivators guarding the demonic realm seemed to have no intention of fighting them, nor were they worried about them destroying the demonic realm.
In fact, they really couldn't do much harm to this demonic realm.
The Demonic Realm was formed due to the contamination of the Demonic Qi. Unless they could re-seal the Ice Sea Demonic Abyss, or arrange a large array to purify the Demonic Qi that overflowed from the Ice Sea Demonic Abyss like the original Tribulation Immortal, and completely cut off the Demonic Realm.
The source of the demonic energy, otherwise there would be no way to think of how much damage it would cause to the already formed demonic realm.
"Fellow Daoist Guo, Fellow Daoist Zhou, do you feel it?"
Xu Tianlin turned his head and did not look at the monk surnamed You who was asking about the situation. Instead, he looked at Guo Huaiyang, who had the seventh level of Nascent Soul cultivation, and Zhou Yang, whose spiritual consciousness had also reached the late Nascent Soul stage.
"Devil energy can distort and affect the results of spiritual exploration. Guo could only vaguely feel that there were people hiding in the demon abyss, but he didn't know how many people there were and where they were hiding."
Guo Huaiyang spoke in a deep voice with a heavy face about the results of his investigation, which was equivalent to answering the monk surnamed You's question on Xu Tianlin's behalf.
"The situation discovered by Zhou and fellow Taoist Guo is similar." Zhou Yang simply echoed Guo Huaiyang's words.
When the others heard what the two of them said, they all understood what Xu Tianlin meant, and all of them looked at the Moyuan with sharp eyes.
Seeing this, Xu Tianlin took advantage of the situation and said: "According to the information provided by fellow Taoist Zhou, there should be only three or four Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators in the Demon Realm. Among them, the one with the highest cultivation level should be the [Thousand Souls Venerable] of the Demon Dao. This demon's cultivation level is
Now with the help of demonic energy, I have broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage."
"With just a few people, even if they have the advantage of location, they will definitely lose to our absolute numerical advantage!"
"So fellow Taoists, since we have arrived here, we should move forward bravely and do our best to find out the truth!"
After he finished speaking, Master Qingyang was the first to respond and said: "Qingyang is willing to follow fellow Taoist Xu to the Demon Nest!"
"I am willing to follow fellow Taoist Xu to the devil's nest!"
All the cultivators shouted in unison, the sound was like thunder shaking the sky and could be heard thousands of miles away.
"Okay! With all of you accompanying me in life and death, Xu has no regrets!"
Xu Tianlin cheered loudly and excitedly, immediately activated his [Qingling Xuanguang] magical power to protect himself, and jumped into the devil's abyss at the head of the horse.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang and the rest of the people also used all their methods to protect themselves, and followed him into the devil's abyss like a fish diving into water.
The concentration of demonic energy in the Demonic Abyss is several times or dozens of times that in the Demonic Realm outside. For immortal cultivators such as Zhou Yang, after entering this kind of place, not only can they no longer draw any spiritual energy from the outside world to replenish their own mana, they also need to
Maintain protective powers at all times to prevent evil energy from penetrating into the body.
This alone will consume a lot of their mana.
Therefore, as soon as they entered the Demonic Abyss, everyone directly held the [Spiritual Marrow Stone] in their hands to replenish the consumed mana.
At this time, no one will feel sorry for this loss.
When they sank thousands of feet, the expected sneak attack came as scheduled.
The four Nascent Soul-stage demon cultivators headed by the gray-robed old man [Venerable Thousand Souls], together with the various demon corpses and ghosts controlled by them, rushed towards the cultivators from all directions at the same time, killing all the cultivators in an instant. Involved in the battle.
Being in the dangerous place of the Demonic Abyss, Zhou Yang did not easily use those overly consuming magical powers and magic weapons this time. He only used [Evil-proof Clothes] to protect himself, and then used [Qian Yang Golden Pagoda] and [Qian Yang Gold] to protect himself. Lamp】Two natal magic weapons work together to kill the enemy.
Their group had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers. Even if he had reservations and did not try his best, and even if the enemy had a geographical advantage, they could still easily gain the upper hand in the battle.
Xu Tianlin and Guo Huaiyang, two late-stage Nascent Soul monks, joined forces and easily suppressed the [Thousand-Soul Venerable]. The remaining few people faced the attack of more than a dozen Nascent Soul-stage monks and could not even parry. We can only try our best to take advantage of the geographical environment in the Demonic Abyss to delay the pace of the cultivators.
"These demonic cultivators want to consume our mana. It seems that they still have some killer moves that they haven't used yet. Fellow Taoists, please be careful to save your mana and don't waste it on those low-level monsters!"
Xu Tianlin seemed to have noticed something. During the fight, he did not forget to send a message to the other cultivators to explain his findings.
In fact, Zhou Yang also discovered this without his reminding.
But the reason why he didn't say it directly like Xu Tianlin was not because he had any malicious intentions, but because he knew that others would definitely see this quickly, and there was no need for him to rush to the front.
At this time, when he heard Xu Tianlin's reminder, he couldn't help but glance at Zhenren Qingyang, who was not far away from him, and secretly sent a message: "Senior Qingyang, if you encounter any danger later, please remember to be with this junior. I have that thing with you." Hands, I guess it won’t be a problem to escape!”
Master Qingyang naturally knew what that object was.
He glanced at Zhou Yang calmly and nodded silently to show his understanding.
After receiving Xu Tianlin's reminder, the cultivators did not waste their mana on the cannon fodder of those monsters that were not even fifth level as before. Instead, they accurately eliminated those fifth level and above monsters while huddled together towards Sinking deep into the abyss.
This ice-sea demonic abyss is said to be ten thousand feet deep, and even a ninth-level Nascent Soul "half-step true immortal" monk like Nie Yushuang would find it difficult to explore the bottom.
Zhou Yang and the others have never thought about exploring the bottom, that is not realistic.
Their purpose of going down to the Demonic Abyss was just to investigate possible back-up arrangements of demonic cultivators, and to investigate these, there was no need to explore the bottom.
Two thousand feet, three thousand feet, four thousand feet!
After Zhou Yang and others forcibly sank almost four thousand feet, the concentration of demonic energy in the demonic abyss had reached an almost liquid state.
In order to isolate themselves from this rich demonic energy, the mana they consume every breath is comparable to the entire mana possessed by a ninth-level foundation-building monk.
In this environment, the magical power they cast will be partially weakened out of thin air, and the mana consumed by the royal weapon will also be greatly increased.
In this environment, a demon cultivator in the early stage of Nascent Soul may even be on a par with a cultivator in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
After the early Yuanying monks in Zhou Yang's team reached this level, their magical powers were almost suppressed by 20 to 30%. If they went further, they would only be suppressed even more severely.
"That's almost it. I don't have to go any further. Let's put that thing here!"
After Xu Tianlin once again used his magical power to defeat an evil ghost whose strength was close to the sixth level, he suddenly stopped and issued new instructions to the remaining cultivators in a deep voice.
Hearing his words, those early Yuanying monks secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Everyone can act according to the plan now. Xu, Daoyou Guo, Zhou and others are outside to protect the Dharma. You five, Daoyou Wen, are responsible for releasing the thing to investigate the situation."
Xu Tianlin said, and immediately moved to the outside, staring in one direction.
Guo Huaiyang, Zhou Yang, Qingyang Zhenren and other monks who had already determined their guardians also chose a direction as a defense area to protect the monks who were responsible for investigating the situation in the middle.
At this time, none of them were stingy with their mana anymore. Any monster that dared to appear in their perception would immediately be attacked by them like thunder.
The monks surnamed Wen and others who were designated by Xu Tianlin to investigate the situation in the middle area, after blessing themselves with several layers of protection, each took out a puppet flying eagle magic weapon made of ice jade and cold iron and activated it.
, dropped into the Demonic Abyss.
These puppet magic weapons are all specially made magic weapons and have no combat capabilities. They can only transmit the scene seen with the eyes to a corresponding mirror magic weapon.
These magic weapons were refined several years ago by various sects in the Beitingzhou Immortal Cultivation World in order to explore the situation at the bottom of the Demonic Abyss.
Unfortunately, before Zhou Yang and others arrived, they were unable to go deep into the Demonic Abyss to investigate, so these magical artifacts had been stored in the Ice City warehouse to gather dust.
At this time, as the monk surnamed Wen and others activated the puppet flying eagles and dropped them into the Demon Abyss, making them fly in the preset direction, the dark and deep scenes of the Demon Abyss began to appear one after another in the corresponding areas.
On top of the mirror instrument.
Because of the corrosive effect of the demonic energy on the magic weapon, the image transmitted by the puppet flying eagle is not very clear, and only some blurry images can be seen vaguely.
Fortunately, the number of these puppet flying eagles is large enough, and each monk releases more than ten. With the accumulation of numbers, it is still enough for the monk surnamed Wen and others to roughly observe the situation in the depths of the Demonic Abyss.
The [Thousand Souls Venerable] and other demon cultivators who were hiding in the heavy demonic aura naturally discovered the existence of those puppet flying eagles. They immediately sent out demon corpses and ghosts driven by themselves to hunt down those puppet flying eagles and prevent the demon abyss from being destroyed.
The underlying situation was leaked.
But while those puppet flying eagles have given up their fighting ability, their flying speed is not inferior to that of fifth-level demon birds. It is really rare for demon corpses and ghosts to be able to catch up with them.
"It's over, I've seen the image at the bottom of the Demonic Abyss!"
A Yuanying monk screamed in surprise, and Zhou Yang couldn't help but focus part of his attention on the dozen jade mirrors in front of him.
I saw that on one side of those jade mirrors, I could already see the blurry image of the bottom of the Demonic Abyss.
At the bottom of the 10,000-foot-deep demonic abyss, the demonic energy completely solidified into water. Not only did the puppet flying eagle fly extremely slowly in it, but the body of the magic weapon was eroded by the demonic stain at an extremely fast speed. It didn't take long.
The interest time is completely scrapped and has no effect.
"I'm done with it."
The monk surnamed Wen also suddenly shouted, and several of the puppet flying eagles he released arrived at the bottom of the Demonic Abyss at the same time, transmitting back the images they saw.
At the back, one-third of the nearly a hundred puppet flying eagles released successfully reached the bottom of the Demonic Abyss. Through the images transmitted back by them, Zhou Yang and others finally had a rough idea of the situation at the bottom of the Demonic Abyss.
learn.
Judging from the image, it seems that the bottom of the Demonic Abyss still maintains its appearance in ancient times, with collapsed rocks and giant ice everywhere, creating a devastated and ruined scene.
This is undoubtedly a good thing, indicating that the demon cultivators have not yet established a firm foothold there, otherwise they would certainly not have made the place look so chaotic.
However, before Zhou Yang and others had time to be happy, a startled gasp attracted their attention.
"No, there is something underneath the Demonic Abyss. It seems to be an altar. Ah, what is that!"
The Yuanying monk who exclaimed suddenly opened his mouth wide and screamed, and a jade mirror in front of him suddenly exploded into pieces and turned into powder.
This change immediately attracted everyone's attention. Xu Tianlin immediately looked at the monk and shouted: "Fellow Daoist Pei, what did you find?"
"Altar, a tall and magnificent altar, with a huge monster lying on it. It's not clear whether the monster is a statue or a real monster. The puppet flying eagle was instantly destroyed as soon as it came within a thousand feet of the altar!"
The monk surnamed Pei came back to his senses and spoke with his mouth wide open about what he had just seen.
When Xu Tianlin heard this, he said decisively: "That's right, that altar must be the back-up force of these demons. Fellow Taoist Wen, you guys should quickly put all the spare puppets into the place where the altar is. Be sure to investigate clearly.
