With a full-force strike from the giant sword, the foundation of the Demon-Slaying Formation was instantly reduced to dust. Although it was not the core of the Demon-Slaying Formation, as the foundation, it was naturally an indispensable part of the formation. Now that the foundation was destroyed, the flaw that the True Martial Hall had been trying so hard to hide was completely exposed to him!

The dissipation of the clouds and mist was merely a facade; the foundation of the array was completely destroyed, and the remaining power of the Demon-Slaying Array was greatly diminished once again. As the instigator of this incident, Li Sisui maintained a calm expression, but inwardly he felt a pang of regret:

"The foundation of this Demon-Slaying Array actually requires pure demonic energy to function properly. No wonder the True Martial Hall has been unable to fully repair the array for over a thousand years..."

With the help of the Slow Sword Domain, when he arrived at the flaw in the great formation, he discovered the unusual nature of the flawed formation base. It was precisely because of his return from Demon Mountain and his personal experience with demonic energy that he was able to immediately realize that the formation base of the Demon Extermination Formation actually required demonic energy to activate and operate...

What a magnificent demon-slaying formation! It's somewhat ironic that it requires the infusion of demonic energy to activate its power...

However, whether it's Sage Hill or Bone-Burial Mountain, demonic cultivators are an extremely rare existence, and as for why, no one knows...

Tracing back to the source, it is unknown when it began, but cultivating immortality has become the absolute mainstream among cultivators. The techniques and supernatural powers that can shake the heavens and smother the earth, the ancient and long-lasting lifespan that is equal to the heavens, have become the goal pursued by countless cultivators throughout their lives, thus giving rise to this dog-eat-dog world of cultivation!

As for demonic cultivators, they are almost extinct beneath Mount Fugu. Demonic cultivation techniques, magical artifacts, and demonic energy are extremely rare. Apart from cultivators who have been cultivating for many years and have heard of them, most cultivators have no idea that demonic cultivators exist and naturally assume that the whole world is full of immortal cultivators!

Only in the higher Shura Ridge can one see the rare figures of demonic cultivators. However, all the information Li Sisui has about that distant world is hearsay. In addition, the words of the Supreme Demon Ancestor before him mean that even if one is a demonic cultivator, it does not mean that one can enter the Demon Mountain as a matter of course. The Demon Mountain is filled with endless demonic energy and is the main base of demonic cultivators!

Leng Rushuang now has a choice: continue cultivating immortality or switch to cultivating demonic arts.

The saying goes, "If it exists, it has a reason." When Li Sisui examines all of this from a modern perspective, he feels that he must be extremely cautious. There must be a reason, or even a hidden story, for the absence of demonic cultivators. And the fact that the whole world is full of cultivators is not necessarily a good thing...

This is also why he has been hesitant, both hoping that Leng Rushuang will wake up as soon as possible and worrying that she might wake up at any moment...

"Reporting to the elder, it was that person who destroyed the sect's protective formation!"

"How dare you!"

Boom!

A bolt of dark blue lightning appeared in mid-air without warning. Without any pause, it carried the might of heaven and headed straight for Li Sisui's face. This bolt of lightning was several times thicker and darker in color than the previous one. Judging from its appearance alone, its power was considerable!

Buzz! Boom!

Without the burden of the Hidden Moon Sect, Li Sisui can finally unleash his full power. This is the first time he has exerted his full strength since his divine sense surged. He maintains the slow sword domain within a range of about ten feet around his body. The broad greatsword blocks in front of him, completely shielding Li Sisui!

No longer needing to worry about the Hidden Moon Sect, the Slow Sword Domain naturally didn't need to expand its range. After shrinking, both its strength and effectiveness were obviously further improved. The dark blue lightning was powerful, but its speed decreased sharply after entering the Slow Sword Domain. However, because the Slow Sword Domain was small at this time, it crashed into the giant sword a few seconds later. Like silent fireworks, the lightning scattered and disappeared!

Li Sisui, who was deep in thought, was interrupted by several loud shouts in mid-air. Then, lightning surged above his head and crashed down. Having had the previous experience, he was much more at ease this time. In addition, without having to worry about the Hidden Moon Sect, he was able to fully unleash the power of the Slow Sword Domain under his complete concentration!

Looking at it this way, the thunder and lightning that had just been so powerful turned into a unique fireworks display. In the end, it was all bark and no bite. Li Sisui was not only unharmed, but also somewhat nonchalant. However, before he could even look up to find the source of the attack, one bolt of lightning after another came crashing down, as if determined to achieve its goal!

However, the outcome was already predetermined. After being halted by the slow sword's domain and blocked by the greatsword, the seemingly overwhelming lightning instantly turned into a match falling into water, extinguishing before it could even ignite...

"This, how is this possible... This disciple thought it was due to the limitation of his own spiritual technique, which only allowed him to activate one lightning bolt of the Demon-Slaying Array. I never expected that even with the elder's spiritual technique, six lightning bolts could not harm him in the slightest..."

"This person's strength is exceptionally high. At least within the territory of Sage Hill, we have never heard of such a person. We wonder why he broke through the formation and stormed the sect?"

An elderly man with an air of otherworldly wisdom appeared in mid-air, his expression solemn as he inquired. His disciple, standing beside him, answered meekly with bowed eyes:

"This disciple is responsible for guarding the Demon-Slaying Formation. All those who previously trespassed were killed by a single bolt of lightning. This person suddenly broke in, and without asking any questions, this disciple immediately activated the incantation. However, I did not expect this person to block my attack. Seeing the sudden change in the situation, after weighing the options, I could only report to the elders first. As for the rest, I have not yet inquired..."

The elder took a deep breath, hesitated, and then said in a deep voice:

"The incident happened suddenly, so I can't blame you. After all, it's been almost three hundred years since we last used the Grand Array Spirit Technique. Today, someone suddenly broke into the array. Not to mention you, even I was quite surprised. This person is not someone that you or I can defeat. You should quickly go and inform the Palace Master. I'll go down and stall for a moment..."

Having said that, the elder fluttered his sleeves and slowly floated down from the sky, landing not far from Li Sisui. He warily sized up the one who had broken the formation, and after a moment, he exclaimed in surprise:

"The third level of Divine Illumination! This... how is this possible..."

Seeing an old man land, and not making any move after landing, Li Si withdrew his Slow Sword Domain and began to observe the old man with interest. At that moment, the old man was also observing him. Upon hearing the old man's exclamation, he gave a helpless bitter smile. Judging from his cultivation level, he was indeed a weakling wherever he went...

"May I ask, fellow Daoist, do you have a feud with the Zhenwu Hall that warrants such a severe punishment?"

"As expected, the guilty party is the one who accuses first," Li Sisui rolled her eyes and said irritably.

"You guys didn't hold back either! One bolt after another of heavenly lightning, anyone would think I've done something heinous and am being struck by lightning!"

...

The old man's tone faltered noticeably, and he paused before speaking:

"Fellow Daoist, what brings you here?"

"Nothing more than finding a suitable place to establish a sect!"
