Are you sure this is the place?
Zhu Ji stood on the cloud, gazing at the flashing lights in the distance.
"Absolutely right."
Zhu Ji glanced at the frost flowers covering the mountain and said, "It's a pity for these flowers."
It's truly unexpected that that mortal could rise to such a high position, surrounded by a group of demons from the Demon Abyss.
The men under their command also felt a little sorry for the Frost Flower, after all, it was a treasure of heaven and earth, but they had no choice but to accept it for the sake of their plan.
"I was wondering how to get him to come here, but he actually came here on his own. It seems like even God is on your side."
Zhu Ji smiled, clearly pleased with his words.
He was originally just a mortal demon cultivator. After disappearing without a trace, he originally planned to let him go. Unexpectedly, during the battle at the boundary marker, he heard news about Jiang Yan from a great demon.
I never expected this mortal to have such abilities. But it's all good. If he is the Demon Lord, killing him will not only settle my personal grudges, but also allow me to ask the Jade Emperor for credit.
On the other side of the mountain, a bright black demonic aura shot straight up, soaring upwards and exploding in the air like fireworks.
His men cheered excitedly, "Found it!"
“These demons are somewhat useful.” Zhu Ji raised his chin. “Let’s begin.”
The subordinate was stunned. "But those demons are still in the valley..."
"They're just a bunch of uncivilized, stupid demons. Their usefulness ends here. Let's eliminate them all. It will also weaken the demon realm's fighting power. From now on, they will all respect us, the Nine Heavens." Zhu Ke gathered his immortal power and scattered it to notify the Nine Heavens immortals who were already waiting near the mountains.
The mountains stretched endlessly, and then the ground shook violently.
"What happened?"
With quick reflexes, Zi'e pulled Feng Ziyi away from the suddenly cracked earth.
The ground seemed to have been ripped open with cracks, and looking down from above, all that could be seen was a void of blackness.
Many demons standing on the ground were caught off guard and fell straight down. Those who reacted quickly tried to grab the cliffs on both sides, but the crack appeared suddenly and the gap widened in an instant, so many unlucky ones couldn't even touch the walls.
Those with high cultivation levels are fine; they can simply ride the wind or condense demonic energy under their feet to pull themselves up. But some lesser demons who are just there to fill the ranks are unlucky; they can only watch helplessly as they fall, flailing their limbs wildly in a death struggle.
Shu Yun vaguely felt an extremely uncomfortable sensation emanating from beneath these enormous cracks. It had a demonic aura, but not entirely; there was also a familiar scent.
"ah!"
Countless black tentacles emerged from the darkness beneath the rift, darting upwards and dragging the fleeing demons downwards.
Feng Ziyi watched as the demons were pulled into the darkness at the end by the tentacles, turning into a cloud of blood mist with a "bang," and swallowed hard.
"What is this thing that's so eerie?"
Zi'e's gaze narrowed downwards.
Si Ming looked at the black tentacles and felt that they looked somewhat familiar, but there were too many demonic moves like that, and he couldn't tell which one it was for the time being.
A howling wind surrounded Shu Yun, crushing the relentless tentacles that kept charging forward. Like Si Ming, she was trying to figure out what this malevolent tentacle was.
The powerful demon that had blocked their path earlier was initially indifferent to these tentacles, simply smashing them to prevent them from getting close.
Unexpectedly, due to a moment of carelessness, its tail was grabbed by a tentacle.
He was about to raise his hand to sever the tentacles when he discovered that the demonic energy within his body was uncontrollably flowing into the tentacles, and in the blink of an eye, he could not use any demonic energy at all.
Just as he was about to be pulled underground, he caught a glimpse of Shu Yun in her crimson dress and breathed a sigh of relief.
He cried out in anguish, "Goddess Shuyun, save me!"
The others also realized that there was a top-level god here.
Everyone turned to Shu Yun for help.
The great demon, who thought he would be saved, stared intently at Shu Yun, waiting for her to come to his rescue. However, he was dragged into the ground by her tentacles and never got to see her make a move.
His eyes were filled with disbelief. How could this be? Wasn't Penglai Shangshu neutral? She was on good terms with many people in the Demon Realm. Did she also dislike the Demon Race?
Shu Yun did not offer any assistance to the demons and immortals who were unfortunately swept into the underground.
It wasn't that she was unwilling, but that she was bound by the Linglong Shackles, and half of her divine power was sealed. She could only free up her hands to protect the group of demons and immortals not far away, which was already her limit. She was powerless to help those who were pulled away by the tentacles.
If she rushes down to rescue people, those ubiquitous tentacles will seize the opportunity to entangle her. She fears that if she saves one side, the people on this side will suffer.
The divine power poured out, severing all the tentacles. The severed tentacles fell to the ground and turned into black demonic energy, seeping into the earth. Another swarm of tentacles rose up from the darkness.
"This will never end if it continues."
Zi'e severed one of the tentacles, and countless more tentacles rushed up again. "At this rate, we will eventually be exhausted of our immortal power, but once this tentacle is severed, it will turn into demonic energy and be used as a replenishment, endlessly."
Shu Yun pointed outside the valley, "Go out."
How could she possibly choose to keep fighting with these strange tentacles? She looked around and saw that the cracks were the largest and deepest in the valley, and the closer to the outer edge, the smaller the gaps between the cracks became.
This is probably a formation. Since it's a formation, it has a range. Just stay away from the formation's attack range.
The crowd hurried out of the mountains, and more and more people were being protected by the fierce wind.
Whether it was Shu Yun's imagination or not, she felt that after the formation absorbed the flesh and blood of many demons and immortals, the demonic energy underground had become even stronger.
