Chapter 52
All parties gather and enter the Valley of Fallen Demons!
Boom!
The Myriad Spirits Blood River Formation, having absorbed the essence and blood of four Nascent Soul cultivators, erupted with a sky-piercing crimson light.
This power coalesced into a gigantic blood-red hand, which slammed fiercely into the ancient seal deep within the Fallen Demon Valley.
Click!
The seal trembled violently, and the golden runes flowing on its surface dimmed.
Finally, under the continuous erosion of the array's power, a tiny crack appeared in one corner of the seal.
An ancient, weathered aura, carrying an endless evil aura, emanated from the crack.
Although it was only a trace, it made everyone present feel suffocated.
"It's done." Blood God Child's face lit up with joy: "Although it's just a gap, only wide enough for cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage and below to enter, it's enough."
"Pass down the order: all Foundation Establishment disciples, immediately enter the sealed area. No matter the cost, find the array's core and destroy the seal from within."
At his command, dozens of Blood God Sect disciples who had been waiting for a long time transformed into streaks of blood-red light and rushed into the crevice.
Seeing this, Su Yueli turned around and instructed the Hehuan Sect disciples behind her, "You all go in too, and remember what I told you before."
"Yes." The group of female cultivators from the Hehuan Sect accepted the order and flew inside.
Meanwhile, the deputy hall master of the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls, Venerable Annihilation, who had been standing in the shadows, gave Su Yueli a meaningful look with his eyes that resembled will-o'-the-wisps.
"The laws of emotion... have actually reached this level; even I almost fell for them just now."
He felt a deep sense of dread towards this seemingly frail woman, but he didn't point it out. He simply waved his hand, allowing the disciples of the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls to enter as well.
……
Deep underground, within the Taixu Sealing Immortal Formation.
Ye Chen collapsed to the ground in despair.
"Tianjizi, save me!"
He took out the Heavenly Secret Golden Token again, his voice tinged with a pleading tone.
A flash of light, and Tianjizi's phantom image reappeared.
Seeing Ye Chen's disheveled appearance, even the most shrewd and calculating pavilion master couldn't help but twitch his eye.
He hadn't expected that Lu Yuan would actually know this long-lost trapping formation.
"Well, now that we're in the game, we can't give up halfway."
Tianjizi sighed, calculated with his fingers, and said after a moment: "In the Demon-Sealing Land of Fallen Demon Valley, the Blood River Ancestor is sealed. There is also an opportunity for your innate Dao Body to make up for the missing origin within it. The seal of Fallen Demon Valley has been broken in a corner, but it is only accessible to those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Even if your main body is freed, you cannot enter."
"What should we do then?" Ye Chen asked anxiously.
"I will give you a fifth-tier boundary-breaking talisman to break this trap, and a void teleportation talisman to help you escape," Tianjizi said in a deep voice. "You need to use your innate Dao body's original essence and blood to perform a secret technique to create a clone at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. Let the clone carry the void teleportation talisman as a backup plan to enter the sealed land and seize the opportunity, while your main body immediately leaves this place."
"A clone." Ye Chen's face turned pale.
He just lost one clone, and now he has to split it again; this is practically draining his life force.
But thinking that there was an opportunity in the Fallen Demon Valley to restore his innate Dao body, he finally gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Okay, I agree!"
As the two talismans were transmitted, a ruthless glint flashed in Ye Chen's eyes.
He forced out his essence and blood, enduring excruciating pain, and within this trapped formation, he re-formed a clone at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
"break."
The Boundary-Breaking Talisman burned, tearing a hole in the Great Void Sealing Immortal Formation.
Ye Chen's true form dared not linger and immediately fled from this place.
The clone that carried his last hope, carrying a Void Teleportation Talisman, transformed into a streak of light, bursting out of the ground and entering the gap in the seal.
……
The outskirts of the Valley of Fallen Demons.
Xiao Fan was hiding behind a boulder, watching the terrifying phenomenon in the sky, his heart pounding with fear.
"Teacher, it's too dangerous there, do we really want to go?"
"Fortune favors the bold." The Medicine Venerable's voice was firm: "Although the Myriad Spirits Blood River Formation is terrifying, all its power is currently being used to suppress and seal it, so the interior is actually the safest place."
"Fan'er, within that sealed land, there exists an aura extremely important to your Ancient Sacred Body. It is the key for you to break the second shackle. Even if it's a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, you must venture forth."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan clenched his fist, a resolute glint in his eyes.
"Let's give it our all."
He used the terrain as cover and rushed into the gap in the formation.
……
at the same time.
On the horizon, three enormous warships broke through the clouds, their overwhelming pressure instantly engulfing the entire Fallen Demon Valley.
The reinforcements from the Ten Immortal Sects have arrived.
This time, it wasn't a Nascent Soul cultivator who arrived, but a true Divine Transformation Venerable.
Yan Nantian of the Feathered Immortal Sect, the Sword Master of the Great Luo Sword Sect, and the Purple Sun Venerable of the Purple Mansion Holy Land.
The three great deities arrived together.
"You demonic fiend, how dare you act so presumptuously here?"
Yan Nantian roared, his voice booming like thunder, causing the demonic energy below to surge.
His gaze swept over the seal below, which had already been partially broken, and his face turned grim: "We're too late. The seal is already broken. We can only try to fix it now."
"Since only Foundation Establishment cultivators can enter, then let the true disciples of each sect go in and make sure to prevent the demonic path from destroying the array's core," Master Ziyang said in a deep voice.
They immediately sent messages to their respective sects, ordering their Foundation Establishment disciples to come to the scene.
Before long, some of the Foundation Establishment disciples from the three major immortal sects arrived together.
Just then, a five-colored divine light pierced the sky and descended before the three Nascent Soul cultivators.
Lu Yuan was dressed in a black robe, with Lu Xueyao, dressed in white and carrying a long sword, by his side.
"My three fellow Daoists, how have you been?" Lu Yuan greeted them with a calm expression and a cupped-hand salute.
"So it's Fellow Daoist Lu." Yan Nantian smiled immediately upon seeing Lu Yuan.
He had personally witnessed Lu Yuan's strength, so naturally he dared not be negligent.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, is your visit also related to this seal?"
"Indeed." Lu Yuan nodded. "With the demonic path rampant, our Qingyun Sect, as a member of the righteous path, should naturally do its part. I wish to send my personal disciple, Xueyao, to join them and lend a helping hand. Is that acceptable?"
Yan Nantian glanced at Lu Xueyao. He already knew Lu Xueyao's strength, so he had no objection.
"Fellow Daoist Lu is a man of great understanding and righteousness; of course, he can."
He turned to a stunningly beautiful woman in white with a cool and aloof demeanor on the warship behind him and said, "Miaozhen, this is Fellow Daoist Lu's esteemed disciple. Please take good care of her after we enter the sealed land."
The woman's name was Bai Miaozhen. She was the tenth true disciple of the Feathered Immortal Sect in this generation, with a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivation level and unfathomable strength.
She glanced at Lu Xueyao and nodded slightly: "Yes, Elder."
Lu Yuan watched this scene and chuckled inwardly.
To take care of.
I'm afraid that when the time comes, it's uncertain who will be taking care of whom.
He had already learned everything that had happened through the mother-child image stone left by Su Yueli, and knew that Xiao Fan and Ye Chen's clones had entered the Fallen Demon Valley.
The fact that it can attract two chosen ones to enter at the same time means that there must be a great opportunity in the Valley of Fallen Demons.
