435 Fusion of Two Worlds
Not only Taoist Qingfa, but other supreme elders in the Tribulation Crossing Stage including the Second Elder had such thoughts, and they all looked at Taoist Tianyun with the same eyes, and were all glared at by Taoist Tianyun.
The Second Elder withdrew his gaze in dismay, and suddenly heard Daoist Master Zhuyue shouting: "Find a way to call Xinxin back and stop..."
Before he could finish his words, the projection suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
Dao Zun Qingfa frowned, "This is not right. The projections from the Demon Realm always gradually become clearer, then blurrier, and then disappear. Why did they suddenly disappear this time? It feels like there is an external force interfering."
The second elder was more concerned about another point: "Master was talking to me just now, right? I feel like he saw me. The formation's core response is dominated by the Tiancheng Spirit Realm, and the same is true for projection. How could Master see me in the Demon Realm?"
The seven great elders looked at each other, and Tianyun Daozun's face suddenly changed: "Not good, the Demon Realm and the Tiancheng Spirit Realm are merging! Zhuyue must have realized this, so he shouted at us to stop the fusion of the two realms."
If the two worlds complete the fusion, the spiritual power and vitality of the Tiancheng spiritual world will flow into the demon world in large quantities. Mortals and low-level monks do not have as strong adaptability as high-level monks. If their living environment changes suddenly, they will die in large numbers.
The center of the array located in Tianshui Sect is the main center of the protective array and requires the most power. The Tianshui Sect is powerful and has many cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, which is enough to complete this task.
The Second Elder, as a newly promoted Tribulation Crossing Stage, was originally a mobile support. At this moment, he realized that the situation was not good and he could no longer keep pace with the other forces as originally planned.
After she gave the Great Elder a brief explanation of the situation, she stepped into the center of the formation, speeding up the coordination between the Tianshui Sect's formation center and the Demon Realm's main formation center.
Although this carries the risk of causing the center of the formation to collapse, if the two worlds merge too deeply and a large number of beings in the Tiancheng spiritual world die, the power of all living beings will be weakened, and the situation will only become more unfavorable to them.
The Second Elder calmed his mind and concentrated his energy, infusing the center of the formation with a large amount of spiritual energy, while also carefully searching for the cause that led to the fusion of the two worlds.
Using her position at the center of the formation, she vaguely saw a tree.
It was a badly rotten tree that looked strangely familiar to her.
The Second Elder could be sure that it was not the Devourer because she did not feel such a strong sense of oppression.
Unlike the deadly aura of the Devourer, the Second Elder felt a strong sense of vitality from this highly decayed tree.
She must have seen this tree!
At the same time, Qi Lanqing, who was maintaining the Yunming City defense formation, also felt this.
Thick clouds fell from the sky, covering the entire Yunming City. An endless stream of cloud beasts emerged from the sea of clouds and attacked Yunming City like crazy.
The city defense formation covered the entire Yunming City, and under the attack of the cloud beasts, various colors of light continued to appear.
The sub-formation set up on the city defense formation launched a fierce attack and wiped out all the attacking cloud beasts.
Jin Jian, transformed into a human form, stood above Yunming City, ready to be on guard against attacks from several cloud beasts in the fusion stage in the sea of clouds at any time.
Qi Lanqing was leading the Tianshui Sect's talisman practitioners and formation masters to set traps and repair formations.
Suddenly she stopped and looked up at the sky in disbelief.
Dark green vines covered with human faces came through the void and destroyed the formation that the disciples had just set up with just one strike.
The disciple who set up the formation suffered backlash and spit out a large mouthful of blood.
A human face emerged from the vines and pounced towards them quickly.
Qi Lanqing threw out a stack of explosive talismans that blew the faces into pieces, buying time for these disciples to escape.
"What is that?" Some disciples didn't react and looked in disbelief at the vines that kept emerging from the void above their heads, feeling frightened.
"It's the Devourer!" Some disciples have already reacted, but they are puzzled. "Isn't it invading the Demon Realm? Why did it appear in the Tiancheng Spirit Realm?"
Qi Lanqing observed it carefully, his heart beating wildly: "It came out from the projection of the Demon Realm. We are merging with the Demon Realm!"
The disciples present immediately became anxious: "How could this happen? Didn't they say that only the center of the formation resonates?"
"If the two worlds merge, can the demon world receive the protection of the protective formation in advance?"
"Impossible, it will instead attract the Devourer." Jin Jian replied and saw two cloud beasts in the fusion stage emerging from the sea of clouds and heading straight for Yunming City. Without saying a word, he turned into a golden flame and rushed towards one of them.
The Sun's Essence Fire swept past the first cloud beast in the fusion stage, causing it to howl in pain. It immediately turned around and attacked Jin Jian.
But Jin Jian did not stop to fight it, but rushed towards the second cloud beast in the fusion stage and ignited it again with his own flames.
The two cloud beasts were furious and had no time to attack Yunming City. Instead, they wrestled with Jin Jian, who had revealed his true form, in the sea of clouds.
The huge Golden Crow, burning with blazing flames, was not at a disadvantage when fighting two alone. In the pure golden sun fire, the Golden Crow's jet-black claws pierced through the body of one of the cloud beasts, tearing it in half alive.
The disciples of Tianshui Sect who saw this scene were secretly shocked by its cruelty. They realized that when they went to comprehend the Sun and the Essence Fire, Jin Jian would just burn their robes for the sake of politeness, which was already extremely merciful.
However, the situation in Yunming City did not ease despite Jin Jian's display of power.
More and more vines are attacking from the projection of the demon world. Although their power has been weakened a little, they are still quite troublesome.
Several Nascent Soul and Spiritual Transformation disciples were caught off guard and were pierced by the vines that suddenly sprang out.
If the Nascent Soul Stage disciples beside them had not reacted quickly enough and immediately cast the technique of Turning Real into Virtual for them, using the underlying rule that "projections are just illusions" to quickly cut off the connection between the vine projections and the real body, these injured Tianshui Sect disciples would definitely have their vitality and spiritual power sucked away by the Devourer.
Qi Lanqing frowned, feeling that someone was playing tricks here.
She asked the alchemists from Lingdan Peak to take the injured disciples down for healing, and immersed her spiritual consciousness into the city defense formation. With the help of the Tribulation Crossing stage of the city defense formation, Qi Lanqing's cultivation was temporarily raised to the Tribulation Crossing stage.
Fu Xiu’s powerful spiritual sense spread out and headed straight for the underground of Yunming City.
Everyone thought that the Tianshui Sect built Yunming City at the foot of the mountain in order to consolidate the sect's strength, but there was actually another reason that only a few senior members of the Tianshui Sect knew - below Yunming City was the location of the earth veins of the Tiancheng spiritual world.
The earth veins are the foundation of a spiritual world. Only when the earth veins are complete and full of vitality and spiritual power, will a spiritual world be safe.
As a talisman cultivator, Qi Lanqing is more suitable for guarding the earth veins than Jiang Yichen.
Every ten years, she would go deep into the earth veins to check so that she could keep track of the "health" of the Tiancheng spiritual world at any time.
Three months ago, the ten-year period had just arrived, and Qi Lanqing had just checked the condition of the earth veins and everything was normal.
But now...
The highly decayed tree roots came from nowhere, wrapped around the ground veins, and drilled into them, taking root and sprouting as if they were inserted into the soil. They were absorbing nutrients from the ground veins at a very fast speed and occupying the ground veins.
These tree roots have a somewhat similar aura to the vines that just attacked through the projection, but compared to the Devourer, the vitality exuded by these tree roots is much stronger. Qi Lanqing even feels a familiar aggressiveness from this vitality.
She must have seen these tree roots!
