Demon battlefield.
In a city.
After the divine consciousness disappeared, the information obtained was also fed back to the main body. Master Zixiao ended his meditation and found Tiandao who was recovering from his injuries.
After he opened his eyes and was about to lose his temper, he spoke, "If Lingtian Continent can escape this disaster, you have to thank me."
"What kind of bullshit are you talking about?" Tian Dao glanced at him with disdain. Did he damage his brain while recovering from his injuries?
Master Zixiao was calm as usual, "If I hadn't forced you to accept Gao Han as your disciple, you would not only be hiding in Wuming Peak now, but you would also not be able to accept such a good disciple."
Tian Dao looked at him expressionlessly, as if to say 'keep making it up, if I believe you I'll call you dad'.
Master Zixiao was still sitting on the only chair in the room. "The divine consciousness I left for Xinxing and the others was triggered. I saw Gao Han and Tingzhou at the Falling Land. They came back and broke through to the Mahayana stage."
With a loud bang, the stone bed under Tian Dao cracked in the middle because he was exerting too much force.
"Now that he's back, why didn't he come to see me first? Does he still regard me as his master?"
In the Xumi world, Gao Han suddenly shuddered.
Master Zixiao said, "It's probably too late. Xiao Xian said that Gao Han arrived only after the passage to Lingxian Garden was closed. You are a disciple with many opportunities. Maybe you can really help Lingtian Continent overcome the difficulties."
Then he briefly told the story of Old Man Yuanshan.
Seeing his envious look, Tian Dao was proud in his heart, but said on the surface: "You actually let him deal with the demon species. Even immortals were no match for the demon species back then. You actually threw everything to him. Are you still a human being?"
"If you are happy, then be happy. Don't hide it." Master Zixiao pointed out his feelings and said, "I want to handle it myself, but I have to wait for their opportunity. You should take good care of your injuries. Xiaotian may have an accident. I will send someone to pick up a few young people. With the elixir, our lifespans will not end too soon. Don't do that again next time."
Leaving behind a sigh, he left.
The afterglow of light shone in from outside the door and fell on Tiandao, who had a head full of white hair and a face that looked like he was a hundred years older.
After that battle, his lifespan declined faster than Master Zixiao's. Originally, it was slower than his.
Tian Dao closed the door in silence and continued his retreat.
…
The Land of the Fallen.
Zhongli Tingzhou put the skeletons of more than a dozen immortal kings together with the skeleton of Immortal King Donghua. After a while, the trembling seal stopped, as if every loose rope was tightened.
But less than an hour later, the seal began to vibrate again, and this time the frequency seemed to be even higher.
Zhongli Tingzhou frowned. Although the power of this demon was very strong, it should not be able to break the seal again so quickly. He initially estimated that it could be sealed for at least two or three more days.
While he was wondering, in the battlefield of demons, in a deep forest, a huge blood-red magic circle suddenly rose up. A large number of low-level demons entered the magic circle, and the light of the magic circle enveloped them.
After a while, a strong and choking smell of blood spread out, and a large amount of blood began to appear on the ground, seeping into the soil. Looking at the center of the magic array, the demons had disappeared, but the demonic energy in the array became more and more intense.
After a while, thousands of demons entered the magic circle and repeated the previous actions.
The black fog condensed in the magic circle became thicker and thicker, almost becoming a solid entity. Wherever it covered, no grass grew, and all life was lost.
Nelson, who possesses the strength of a great monarch, stood right in front of the magic circle, staring expressionlessly at the demons that kept going in to die. When one batch sacrificed their lives, they would call the next batch in.
The demons being sacrificed all had expressionless faces, as if they were without emotions, and the whole process was done almost silently.
"Sir, is this really necessary?" Turner felt very complicated. So many people were sacrificed like this, which was a huge loss for them.
Now that the war has begun, all forces are recruiting people to ensure their survival to the end of this war. The support of ordinary demons is also very important to them.
"Are you heartbroken?" Nelson said calmly, his eyes more determined.
Turner nodded slightly. "I think that sacrifices do not necessarily require our people. Humans should be able to do it too. Why not just look for a human city?"
"Taking humans as sacrifices will definitely attract the attention of the strong men of the human race. Moreover, the strong men of the human race also know our purpose. Now they must be on high alert. For the final victory, sacrifice is indispensable."
A hint of fanaticism slowly emerged in Nelson's eyes.
"As long as the demons appear in the world, even if the human race has a hundred ways, it will never be able to resist the power of the demons. By that time, not to mention the demon battlefield, even the Lingtian Continent will become our territory. We will have everything we want. It is worth sacrificing some people in exchange for the prosperity of the demon race!"
…
Zhongli Tingzhou felt that the power of the seal was becoming more and more obvious. If it continued like this, it might not last for half an hour.
He glanced in the direction of Gao Han. More than half an hour ago, he had been sitting there cross-legged, motionless, with no signs of waking up.
He raised his eyebrows. Since the power of the Xumi world can suppress the demons, his reincarnation bead might be able to do the same.
He did it as he thought, and a black and white bead appeared in his palm.
Zhongli Tingzhou sent the bead to the top of the suppressed skeleton. The skeleton, which was originally motionless, suddenly became uncontrollable and automatically flew towards the reincarnation bead, then disappeared, as if being sucked in.
He wanted to get out a dozen skeletons, but found that they were absorbed by the white side of the Samsara Pearl. When he looked again, he could not find any trace of them.
"How could it disappear? Did it decompose?"
Gao Han intended to use these bones as commemorations, and now they are gone. How will he explain to him when he wakes up?
However, he could not feel whether the bones were decomposed, and his strength did not increase at all.
Unable to find any clues, Zhongli Tingzhou had no choice but to use the Reincarnation Pearl to suppress and seal it.
As soon as the Wheel of Reincarnation went down, the trembling space instantly quieted down. The blood clouds in the sky no longer condensed, and even slowly faded. The ominous aura was also weakening.
Demonic battlefield, deep mountains and old forests.
Strong demonic energy filled the entire magic circle. Even the great lord-level demons could not help but tremble with fear when seeing it. After sacrificing the lives of two million demons, the power condensed by this demonic energy was already very strong.
"Sir, two million demons have been sacrificed." Turner saw that it was almost done, so he came to the lord to report the progress.
"Very good." Nelson showed a grim smile, "Our era is about to begin!"
After saying that, he took out the thing given to him by the emperor and used it to activate the magic circle.
The magic circle glowed, made a roaring sound, and suddenly rushed into the sky. The space barrier could not withstand this force and was instantly torn open. The demonic energy in the circle instantly condensed into a monster, scrambling to squeeze into the hole.
"My Lord, what is this?" Turner couldn't understand. Isn't this a space crack? After this monster transformed by the devil entered the space crack, how could it go to the Fallen Land and help the sealed power break through?
“Just watch.” Nelson had no time to explain. He stared with glowing eyes at the monster that exuded an ominous aura all over its body. Even Gangfeng was no match for it and was swallowed alive.
"Hmm?" Zhongli Tingzhou suddenly raised his head.
The whole sky changed color.
A huge vortex appeared above the seal, and a dark force seemed to grow out of the vortex.
After a while, a giant black claw stretched out from the whirlpool, as if some terrible monster was about to crawl out of the whirlpool, followed by its head, body and so on.
It turned out to be a pitch-black monster, but when it emerged from the whirlpool, it looked like a claw. Its purpose seemed to be to seal the whirlpool. The moment it escaped from the whirlpool, it rushed to the center of the seal at lightning speed.
Originally, there was the skeleton of the Immortal Lord Donghua. If it was wrapped by this monster composed entirely of evil thoughts and demonic energy, it would probably be infected in a short while, or all the positive energy in the body would be consumed. At that time, the demonic power sealed in it would be able to come out.
However, what the demon never expected was that the Samsara Pearl would replace the skeleton of the Immortal Lord Donghua and remain there.
As the only spectator at the scene, Zhongli Tingzhou watched helplessly as the monster dived towards his Samsara Pearl. As it approached, the surface of the Pearl suddenly released a powerful suction force, just like the whirlpool when it came out. The monster seemed to realize something was wrong, and before it could even resist, it was instantly sucked in.
“…”
After two seconds, Zhongli Tingzhou reacted and said, "Well, who is so polite to give me so much food?"
Although the sudden increase of so much energy caused his soul to ache, getting so much energy for nothing could not stop him from laughing freely. It just seemed a little bad, as the sense of balance of the Samsara Pearl was getting weaker and weaker.
Not only did the monster fail to release the demonic power sealed in it, it also helped to increase the power of the reincarnation bead that suppressed it.
The demons who knew the truth would probably cry their hearts out. When he gets out, he must find a chance to see their faces after they learn the truth. It will definitely be very interesting, thought the drama queen with blood flowing from the corners of his mouth.
"roar!"
A roar from the abyss resounded through heaven and earth, as if coming from within the seal.
Angry? You have the right to be angry. This feeling of being robbed is not common. It is good to experience it once in your lifetime.
The drama queen sighed as she refined the energy she had just absorbed, while continuing to suppress the power in the seal, still using the energy she had just absorbed.
…
A deep mountain forest.
After sacrificing the lives of two million demons, only a dozen demons were left at the foot of the huge mountain range. The space that seemed very cramped not long ago has now become very empty.
After the monster crawled away, the world became quiet. The north wind whistled past, and the cold wind froze into frost.
"Sir, is it done?" After waiting for half an hour with no follow-up, Turner couldn't help but look at Lord Nelson. He saw that his brows were furrowed and his expression looked a little strange.
