Chapter 531 Fallen
"Unexpectedly, this grand formation possesses such a concealment effect."
Qin Ming saw Qi Xiaoyu manipulate the Formation Plate, actually concealing the two people's tracks without a trace, to the point that even Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators could not see anything unusual.
"That is natural. This Primordial Harmony Five Elements Subduing Demon Grand Formation is a composite Array Formation. As long as you are within the Array Formation's range, you can not only move your position as you wish, but also utilize the Concealment Function. However, it is extremely consuming of Mysterious Spirit Crystal, so it is best to use it sparingly unless absolutely necessary," Qi Xiaoyu explained.
"Moreover, according to Qi's speculation, the location of this Formation's main Array is very likely to be the place where Ancient Demons are sealed."
While the two were communicating through Sound Transmission, a White Escape Light arrived in an instant, extremely disheveled, and stumbled and fell at the Mountain Foot.
When this person revealed his dust-covered appearance, Qin Ming's expression was momentarily stunned: "Fishing Cloud Old Man?"
He saw that the other party's original Mid-Core Formation Stage Cultivation Level had already risen to the Spirit Transformation Stage, and even he could not see through this person's depth.
Clearly, Fishing Cloud Old Man had intentionally concealed his true Cultivation Realm before.
And now, Fishing Cloud Old Man was covered in wounds, seemingly fleeing in panic from someone's pursuit.
"Brother Qin, do you recognize this Senior?" Qi Xiaoyu was also astonished, after all, Spirit Transformation Stage Venerables were already at the Peak Stage of the Human Realm, and there were very few people who could reach this level.
They had not expected to encounter one as soon as they entered Primal Peak Mountain.
Qin Ming's eyes flickered a few times, and he said with a somewhat complicated expression, "That's right, this Fishing Cloud Old Man has quite some Origin with Qin, but I also did not know that he was actually a Spirit Transformation Stage Senior…"
"Judging from this Senior's appearance, it seems he is being pursued," Qi Xiaoyu said with some uncertainty, "Even a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator is no match for them, then what kind of Existence is it?"
It could be seen that Primal Peak Mountain's notorious reputation was still well-deserved.
He saw Fishing Cloud Old Man not far away cast a Cleanse Spell on himself, brushing away the dust on his body, waved his sleeves, and revealed a bitter expression: "It's over, it's over, completely impossible to get out."
"How was this Ancient Grand Array suddenly repaired? Even the only Void Passage has been completely sealed off, and I even encountered a trapped Ancient Demon that escaped, This Old Man is too unlucky, alas!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his Facial Expression suddenly revealed a look of tension, and without another word, he barged into the Mountain Range of Dao Palace of Luotian and disappeared without a trace.
Not long after Fishing Cloud Old Man left.
The Spirit Qi nearby began to tremble violently, and ripples spread out in the air, a blood-colored door suddenly opened, and a tall, muscular man with a beard walked out from it, with two pairs of bone wings growing from his back, Demonic Energy surging around him, and skin like rock.
Qin Ming felt a burst of scalp-numbing fear just from glancing at it from afar. Looking at the Demonic Markings on its Body, the style was vastly different from the Demonic Path of the Blood Realm, it should undoubtedly be an Ancient Demon from the Ancient Demon Realm.
"Strange, there were clearly two ants nearby, why did they suddenly disappear?"
"Could it be that they entered the Grand Heaven Dao Palace like that Human Realm Spirit Transformation?"
The Demonic Markings strong man raised his head and looked towards the Mountain Peak direction, his hollow gaze was gloomy, but he did not dare to continue forward.
He seemed to be somewhat wary of the huge stone tablet at the Mountain Foot.
"Humph! Consider yourself lucky, when This Seat completely removes the seal of the Star Chain, I will go up the mountain to take your life."
"First, find a few Human Realm Nascent Souls to restore some Strength."
He saw that on the Demonic Body's limbs, there were still faintly visible four silver chains, which seemed to have been forcibly broken, but half of them still remained on his wrists and ankles.
Immediately afterwards, he glanced at the Palace on the Mountain Peak, turned around, and disappeared into the door in the Void Space.
The blood-colored door instantly disappeared and closed, as if it had never appeared at all.
A good while passed.
Qin Ming and Qi Xiaoyu saw that nothing unusual happened, and only then dared to cautiously walk out.
"Brother Qin, it seems that Demonic Beast from just now should be an Ancient Demon that was sealed in Primal Peak Mountain, right? How did it escape?" Qi Xiaoyu asked with lingering fear.
Qin Ming looked at the Void Space and said faintly, "It seems that there is more than one Ancient Demon sealed in this place. It is very likely that Heavenly Hatred Demon Lord and the others have already succeeded and released the Ancient Demons."
"Primal Peak Mountain Three Great Dao Palaces are Grand Heaven Dao Palace, Dao Palace of Fangtian, and Dao Palace of Litian. Although countless Ancient Demons have perished within them, there will also be some that slip through the net."
"However, there must be something in the Grand Heaven Dao Palace that the Ancient Demon is extremely wary of, presumably related to the Grand Array Seal. Let's go and take a look."
"Brother Qin is absolutely right."
After Qi Xiaoyu said this, he did not think too much and quickly followed Qin Ming, escaping towards the Mountain Peak.
…
…
On the other side.
Dao Palace of Litian, one of the Primal Peak Mountain Three Great Dao Palaces.
Perfected Person Canghe of Star Palace, Mysterious Spirit True Lord of Penglai Sect, and Perfected Person Long Mu, along with Bing Xuanzi of Ice God Palace and his party, were each using Mystical Power and Means to bombard wildly, wanting to break open the huge stone door of a Palace.
On the plaque above the Palace, the ancient seal characters "Litian Hall" were engraved with a sense of vicissitudes.
However, after everyone worked together and bombarded for most of the day, the huge stone door in front of them remained motionless, and even the Great Mystical Power unleashed by Late Nascent Soul Stage Great Cultivator like Perfected Person Canghe and Mysterious Spirit True Lord did not leave even an Imprint on the stone door.
"It seems that with our Means, we are simply unable to forcibly break through this stone door," Mysterious Spirit True Lord put away her Divine Ability, frowned and said, "If we alarm the other Demonic Paths here, it will be even worse. We can only think of a Method to Break Restriction."
Bing Xuanzi from Northern Cold Cultivation World, stared intently at the Palace, revealing an extremely unwilling expression: "It is rumored that the Master of this Dao Palace of Litian is Venerable Li Tian, who ranks second in Strength among the Three Sages of Yuanji. Not to mention his Cultivation Level reaching Perfected Deity Transformation Stage, he also possesses several Treasures with heaven-defying Power. His Inheritance must be within this Great Hall."
"Venerable Li Tian is widely known for his Art of Alchemy, so it is very likely that the legendary Spirit Transformation Opportunity—Spirit Transformation Paste—exists within this Great Hall."
"Spirit Transformation Paste!" Perfected Person Long Mu and the others could not help but breathe rapidly when they heard these words. After all, living to their age, their only obsession was this.
"Even if there is a Spirit Transformation Opportunity, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to obtain. This matter still needs to be considered carefully," Perfected Person Canghe pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.
Bing Xuanzi still unwillingly suggested, "Otherwise, how about we take turns using Divine Ability and continue to Attack for three days to try?"
"The Method to Break Restriction is probably not that easy to find, and those Demonic Path Core Formations are probably about to find this place as well. We can't delay any longer."
As soon as these words came out, everyone also felt that what he said made some sense. If they missed this village, there would be no such shop, so they all fell into a dilemma.
Just at this moment.
A cold and merciless voice came from the Void Space nearby.
"You are right, This Seat has already found this place, but this time it is for all of you."
"Since that's the case, you can only blame yourselves for being unlucky, all of you stay here for This Seat."
Before the person arrived, a pitch-black Demon Treasure with rolling Demonic Energy, the Soul Weeping Tower, spun around in mid-air, instantly growing to a hundred zhang (approx. 3.3 meters) in height, and fiercely suppressed the people below.
Countless wronged souls and fierce ghosts roared in the Demon Treasure, and many were even Nascent Soul Stage souls, the momentum was extremely terrifying.
"It's Heavenly Hatred Demon Lord's Soul Weeping Tower!"
Perfected Person Canghe had suffered a great loss at the hands of Heavenly Hatred Demon Lord before, and recognized this Demon Treasure of great Power as soon as he saw it.
The others also did not dare to be careless when they heard that the number one person of the Demonic Path was attacking.
Several people joined forces to use Means and Divine Ability to block this Attack.
Spirit Light burst in the air, and the sound of Mystical Power collisions roared loudly.
The Soul Weeping Tower spun in the air again, turning into the size of a palm, and Fell Upon Heavenly Hatred Demon Lord's hand not far away.
The figure of Saintess Blue Ice next to him also appeared.
Bing Xuanzi stared at the two people and asked with uncertainty, "Just the two of you also want to keep us here?"
"We have three Late Nascent Soul Stage cultivators on our side, plus two Early-Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. Even if Your Excellency is the number one person of the Demonic Path, you can't boast so shamelessly, right?"
Heavenly Hatred Demon Lord behind the white mask sneered, "Of course, the two of us can't keep you, but if we add Lord Rock Demon from the Demon Realm, then it's not certain."
As soon as his voice Fell Upon, in the horrified gaze of everyone, a terrifying Spirit Pressure suddenly descended in the surrounding Space.
Making the Void Space distorted.
Immediately afterwards, a blood-colored door suddenly opened in mid-air, and a Demonic shadow of a muscular man with a beard emerged from it, as tall as three zhang.
"Ancient Demon!" Perfected Person Canghe and the others revealed expressions of extreme horror the first time they saw this person.
Because the Spirit Pressure emanating from this Demon, they had never even felt it on their Spirit Transformation Ancestor.
"Run!"
The moment everyone saw the Ancient Demon appear, they knew that they were definitely no match for it. That was absolute Overwhelming Power from the Cultivation Realm.
Without needing to say more, several people immediately used their life-saving Means and fled in all directions.
However, the next moment.
The Ancient Demon called 'Rock Demon' revealed a hint of sarcasm on his face, he just casually made a grabbing motion.
The entire Space visibly began to distort, and Perfected Person Canghe and the others seemed to be bounced back by an invisible force.
The two pairs of bone wings behind Rock Demon vibrated slightly, and the entire person instantly disappeared from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was already standing behind Perfected Person Canghe, stretched out a sharp bone claw and casually reached forward, and dug out the other party's heart.
Then he threw it into his mouth and enjoyed it. Perfected Person Canghe's eyes were dull, and an unbelievable expression was revealed on his pale face.
Before he could react, Rock Demon's bone claw once again grabbed and exploded his head, and Perfected Person Canghe's Nascent Soul was also easily captured in his hand.
Then the muscular man with a beard took out a black Talisman and stuck it on the Nascent Soul's forehead, seemingly for another purpose.
Perfected Person Canghe's Nascent Soul's eyes were dull, completely Sealed, and gradually lost their luster.
Seeing this scene.
The other people from East Sea Cultivation World were all scared out of their wits, regretting their initial actions.
Someone as strong as Late Nascent Soul Stage Perfected Person Canghe could not even resist.
If they had known that there was such a terrifying Existence in Primal Peak Mountain, they would definitely not have taken the risk to enter.
And Rock Demon seemed to have just done a trivial thing, and then turned his Attention to the others.
Bing Xuanzi took out a Substitute Calamity Ancient Talisman and was about to crush it, but saw that his Body Involuntarily stiffened, and he could not even move a thought.
Mysterious Spirit True Lord and Perfected Person Long Mu on the other side were also like this. Just as the two were about to take out Spirit Treasure, they were locked on by an extremely powerful Divine Sense.
Rock Demon smiled strangely, his five fingers spread out, and several paths of pitch-black Demonic Flames emitted a heart-palpitating feeling, instantly and mercilessly engulfing the few people.
The few people did not even have time to scream, their Physical Bodies were incinerated, and several Nascent Souls were swept back by the black chains formed by the Demonic Flames.
Rock Demon followed suit, and just like how he treated Perfected Person Canghe's Nascent Soul just now, he stuck Talismans on their Nascent Soul foreheads.
Immediately afterwards, he took out a blood-colored leather bag and threw all these Nascent Souls into it.
"Hahahaha! When I use Secret Art to refine these few Nascent Souls, I should be able to restore half of my Cultivation Level, and then completely eliminate the remaining Star Chains," Rock Demon looked at the Star Shackles on his hands and feet, and laughed loudly.
Heavenly Hatred Demon Lord and Saintess Blue Ice both felt chills down their spines when they saw Rock Demon's terrifying Means.
In less than Half a Cup of Tea (short time), he had killed three famous Late Nascent Soul Stage Great Cultivator from the Human Realm, plus two Early-Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.
It was as simple as pinching a few ants to death.
He stepped forward and complimented, "Lord Rock Demon's Demonic might is unparalleled, I admire you!"
Rock Demon said disdainfully, "Just a few Nascent Souls, if it weren't for being suppressed by Realm Power, plus the restriction of the Star Chains, even if I paid some Price, how could that Human Realm Spirit Transformation from before have escaped from This Seat's palm."
"However, you have contributed this time, This Seat has noted it."
"If it weren't for the cracks appearing in the Core of the Formation that sealed Senior, we wouldn't have been able to help you escape so easily," Heavenly Hatred Demon Lord said humbly.
Afterwards.
Heavenly Hatred Demon Lord looked at the stone door of Litian Hall, and once again asked, "I wonder if Lord Rock Demon has a way to enter this Hall."
However, this Ancient Demon revealed a rare look of hesitation when he heard this, and then said faintly, "This is a place Sealed personally by the Three Sages of Yuanji. Without the corresponding Method to Break Restriction, even This Seat cannot forcibly break open this stone door."
"Those Nascent Soul Stage juniors from just now were simply daydreaming."
"You first take This Seat to pay respects to Sacred Ancestor, this matter can be discussed later."
"Yes!" Heavenly Hatred Demon Lord bowed and responded.
At the Same Time.
Along with the Perish of several Nascent Soul True Lords, in the Sects of the Human Realm, in the places where Elder Life-Bound Soul Lamps were stored, several Soul Lamps suddenly went out.
Thus, in the Cultivation World, it triggered an unprecedented uproar.
…
Qin Ming and Qi Xiaoyu followed the map and came to the Main Hall of Grand Heaven Dao Palace following the guidance of fate.
This place was also a magnificent and ancient Great Hall, with the ancient seal characters "Luotian Hall" engraved on the stone door.
And at this moment, Fishing Cloud Old Man, who had entered this place one step ahead of Qin Ming and the others, was actually Sealed and suppressed in front of the door by a stone beast beside the stone door.
Presumably, this Old Guys wanted to use brute force to break through this stone door and enter the Great Hall, but triggered some powerful mechanism Restriction.
He was severely injured by that Ancient Demon before, and then suppressed by the Restriction.
At this time, Fishing Cloud Old Man looked like he had suffered a great loss of Primordial Qi, on the verge of death, and was already at the end of his rope.
When he saw Little Friend Qin again, his expression could be described as extremely wonderful.
Fishing Cloud Old Man revealed an unbelievable expression, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and excitedly shouted, "Little Friend Qin, why have you come?"
"Quickly save This Old Man, the two Spirit Items you wanted, Spirit Light Purification Water and Pure Flame Glass, This Old Man has already managed to get them for you."
Qin Ming's Facial Expression was Vigilance. This Old Guys actually concealed his true Cultivation Level and interacted with him. Although it did not cause him any loss or harm, he did not want a farmer and snake story to play out.
After all, the other party was a genuine Spirit Transformation Stage Cultivator.
Beyond his Control.
The next moment.
A emerald light flashed across the depths of his pupils, and he used the Yin Yang Mysterious Mirror Divine Power, sweeping towards Fishing Cloud Old Man's Body, but saw that his emerald Life Force was dim and dull, very little left.
'It turns out that only four hundred years of Lifespan are left.'
'If I use the Golden Light Divine Flame on this person across a large Realm/State, it would be about self-damage of five hundred years, injuring the enemy by one hundred years.'
"The Price of two thousand years of Lifespan is still within my killing range."
Thinking of this, Qin Ming's heart settled down again.
"Daoist Friend Qin, what should we do?"
Qi Xiaoyu glanced at Fishing Cloud Old Man who was suppressed under the stone beast, and asked aloud.
