I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 678 The Power of Awakening

Gu Yuanqing was unaware that his intervention had accelerated the plans of both the Demon Clan and the Primordial God Sect.

Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care; all he cared about right now were these demons and magical beasts.

The human and demon races are opposing races, and the demon race has also attacked the Qian Yuan Realm.

Therefore, he did not feel any psychological burden when he carried out the massacre.

In particular, most of these magical beasts have little intelligence. All their power is concentrated in their physical bodies, and the demonic energy naturally forms demonic patterns within them. With these demonic patterns and their powerful blood and qi, they can unleash innate bloodline supernatural abilities similar to those of the demon race.

However, not all magical beasts are like this. If they are allowed to devour living beings, they will develop true spirituality and become intelligent, thus becoming what is called a demon.

Gu Yuanqing learned all this information from Ning Xuxuan.

And this war itself provides evidence for this.

Some demonic beasts devour cultivators, thereby greatly increasing their strength in a short period of time, transforming them from pure wild beasts into half-human, half-beast beings.

This characteristic is also very similar to the underground monsters that Gu Yuanqing saw in the Dragon Demon Realm.

In reality, the power that could be provided to Gu Yuanqing was limited. Even the magical beasts at the Heavenly Transformation level were only comparable to ordinary humans, but their sheer number was overwhelming.

Each of Gu Yuanqing's attacks covered an area of ​​nearly ten thousand miles, and these areas were all relatively concentrated areas of the demon race.

The Demon-Subduing Sword Formation is inherently a group attack sword formation. With a powerful cultivator from the Chaos Realm making a move, each illusory phantom he creates is enough to kill most of these demonic beasts below the Yin-Yang level in a single strike.

Furthermore, demons are often mixed in. A wisp of divine soul power produced by a demon at the Yin-Yang level after being refined by the Chaotic Primordial Fire has an effect comparable to the ancient realm's Heavenly Rank Divine Soul Elixir.

Moreover, there is no resistance.

With the help of the Chaotic Primordial Flame, the power of Gu Yuanqing's several clones was rapidly increasing.

You have to understand that the power of each of his clones is now at the Chaos Realm level. If he misses this opportunity, where else can he find such an advantage?
Even slaughtering all the creatures in a vast and exquisite realm would not be comparable to this battle.

Time passed little by little.

The forbidden land, blocked by the demons, gradually flew back. They kept smashing and destroying the altars and demonic artifacts, because as long as the demonic eye in the sky was still there, demonic energy would continue to surge out, and the Eight Desolations Demon Suppression Formation would be affected, making it difficult to form over long distances.

At the same time, the demonic beasts from afar also flew over. Most of them were at or below the Heavenly Transformation level. If they were cultivators, they would probably have been unable to withstand such a long flight.

These magical beasts seemed tireless. The magical patterns on their bodies shimmered under the stimulation of their aura. With a demon of the Hun Tian or Yin Yang Zhou Tian level as the core, their power resonated, making them seem like one. Their flight speed far exceeded their normal level.

Furthermore, the Chaos Demon tore through space, using a magical artifact to construct a teleportation array, stabilizing the spatial passage, allowing distant magical beasts to directly cross vast distances to arrive at this new battlefield.

Both the Ancient Divine Sect and Gu Yuanqing seemed to have intentionally or unintentionally ignored these passages.

Because they all need the blood and soul of these billions of demonic beasts.

As the monsters attacked, the defenses of the Ancient Divine Sect continued to shrink, from covering nearly five million miles initially to less than three million miles now.

Such a distance may seem far, but for cultivators of the Chaos Realm, if there are no obstacles, they can reach the gate of the boundary in no time by using escape techniques and spatial methods.

At this point, the battlefield was less than 100,000 miles from the defensive line of the last thirty-six small worlds.

These small worlds, drawn by the power of the magic array, appear and disappear within the Divine Ruins. Even a Grandmaster of Chaos could see the cultivators within these small worlds through the membrane of the world.

The power of the many array platforms was mostly used to summon and wield the divine sword, which was not enough to completely resist the attack of the demons. They could only focus their attention on the demons at the Hun Tian and Yin Yang levels. Many other low-level demons and magical beasts had already broken through the array defenses and were trying to rush into the small world.

Because Li Lingyun was engaged in a fierce battle with the Undying Demon Huntian, who was wielding a demonic weapon, his mind was preoccupied with too many things, resulting in the boundary array formed in this small world not being perfect.

Furthermore, demons at the Chaos Realm level directly broke through the void, sending demonic beasts into these small worlds.

Thus, the last pure land in this war between humans and demons was also plunged into chaos.

Most of these ordinary cultivators were unaware that the Ancient Divine Sect had other plans. They only knew that this was the last line of defense before the boundary gate. If the boundary sect's formation was broken, the entire Linglong Realm would be in danger.

Although those who broke in were at most at the Celestial Realm level, the battle within the small world was even more brutal than the battles outside.

After all, there are still many ordinary people and low-level cultivators in the world who are powerless against magical beasts and demons at the Celestial level.

These demons and magical beasts enter the area and pounce on any living creature they see, devouring it. This is the best tonic for them; after absorbing its spiritual essence, their cultivation level increases, their intelligence is greatly enhanced, and they become even more difficult to deal with.

If it weren't for the fact that each small world also has a Yin-Yang Realm cultivator in charge, it would probably have been in complete chaos long ago.

The battles at the Chaotic Heaven level are becoming increasingly intense.

Besides destroying the altars and magical artifacts, the retreating forbidden area also hunted down powerful demons.

However, the demon race's experts did not resist the forbidden area at all, and focused their attacks entirely on the large formation in front.

With the battle lines stretched long, and without a large-scale formation in place, the forbidden area was powerless to act.

On the frontal front, the battle between the Demon Lord and Mu Tianheng intensified.

The Forbidden Land of Return to Silence is blocked by a divine blade in front and besieged by the Forbidden Mountain Range behind.

The Silent Coffin continuously appeared in the void, colliding with the power of the Divine Blade and the Heavenly Law Bell.

The closer he got to the boundary gate, the harder it was for the Demon Lord Ming Shang to calm his mind.

Once he breaks through the barrier of the divine artifacts in front and smashes through the magic array behind, he will have a way to open the boundary gate when he reaches it.

He kept a close eye on the situation of the demon race, waiting for the most opportune moment.

The forbidden area of ​​Wuliang Mountain has returned to about 300 kilometers away from the boundary gate. Ning Xuxuan was fighting an immortal demon wielding a top-notch demonic weapon, and his gaze kept falling towards Mu Tianheng's direction.

As the battle continued, he could naturally see that both the Demon Clan and the Primordial God Sect must have their own plans.

In contrast, although the Hidden Radiance Alliance has four forbidden areas, it is still far behind the Demon Clan and the Primordial God Sect.

As the weakest party, they have no initiative and can only look for opportunities in the cracks.

Within the battlefield, Gu Yuanqing was the most relaxed.

He had no other desires than to hunt down demons.

Neither the Dharma Source Realm nor the Realm Gate is relevant to him. Perhaps his only bottom line is to prevent the demon race from breaking into the Realm Gate, and the Ancient Divine Sect itself can probably do that.

As the demons continued to gather from the periphery, the number of demonic beasts and demons clustered together also increased, naturally leading to a sharp increase in the efficiency of hunting and converting power using the Primordial Heavenly Fire.

The Undying Chaos Demon repeatedly attempted to assassinate and hunt down Gu Yuanqing, but the main body of the demon easily thwarted his attacks several times. On the contrary, two Undying Chaos Demons were almost destroyed.

From then on, the demons completely ignored Gu Yuanqing. In their eyes, Gu Yuanqing's strength had reached the level of a demigod, and unless a top-tier demonic artifact capable of contending with the power of the forbidden area was used, they had no way to deal with him.

Moreover, Gu Yuanqing's mastery of spatial manipulation is even more troublesome for them than dealing with other forbidden areas.

After all, while the power of the forbidden land's defenses and the rule-based artifacts is strong, their spirituality is lacking. Whether it's attacking or retreating, the demons can always take the initiative.

At the same time, the Demon Lord also gave an order that breaking through the defensive formation was the most important thing.

An hour passed quickly.

Within the forbidden land of Guiji.

The Demon Lord looked up at the giant red eye floating in the sky and slowly said, "The time has come, strategist, prepare."

"Yes!"

The demon strategist Liao Hanchuan bowed in response, and then a vertical eye opened between his eyebrows, from which an ancient altar flew out and rapidly grew larger.

On the altar stood a demon god statue carved from obsidian from the Netherworld, with a snake tail, human body, and human face, and spiraling demon horns on its forehead.

Its face was half-smiling, half-closed, radiating an aura of extreme darkness and death, indifferent to all things in the world, yet upon closer inspection, it seemed to radiate extreme madness.

Liao Hanchuan tossed a black vessel out, which quickly grew larger. As the vessel poured out, a blood-red liquid cascaded down and landed on the demonic runes on the altar.

This was the essence blood of the demon race accumulated over countless years, but as the long river of essence blood fell, there was no liquid on the altar. All the essence blood quickly disappeared into the altar, leaving not a single drop.

The magical runes on the altar were quickly dyed red, emitting a dark red light. This light rapidly spread upwards and eventually converged on the eyes of the statue.

The black eyes gradually turned dark red, and an aura of darkness, death, and madness intertwined, as if the entire statue was about to come alive.

The Demon Lord stretched out his hand, and an ancient stone knife, about a foot long and covered with demonic patterns, slashed across his wrist.

The dripping blood of the true demon flew out and disappeared into the altar.

The Demon Lord knelt on one knee, clenched his fist and placed it on his right chest, lowered his head and recited an ancient incantation.

In an instant, the giant eye in the sky seemed to come alive, its gaze falling upon the altar of the Forbidden Land of Silence.

All the demonic energy and resentment within the area originally covered by the giant eye instantly boiled over.

A nameless fear rose in the hearts of all the cultivators, and even the most powerful cultivators couldn't help but tremble.

Gu Yuanqing's gaze also fell on the giant eye in the sky. At this moment, the power of those eyes felt incredibly familiar to him.

"This is……"

Even Gu Yuanqing, who was far away in Beiquan, had his pupils shrink slightly. He flipped his hand, and a jade bottle flew into his hand.

This was the power he obtained from the clone of the Heavenly Demon Sword Master.

The previously lifeless black aura suddenly began to circulate slowly within the jade bottle, as if it had come to life all of a sudden.

He could even faintly sense that the aura within the bottle intended to break through the suppression of Beiquan Cave Heaven and establish a connection with some kind of being.

With a thought, Gu Yuanqing used the power of Beiquan Cave to completely suppress it using the technique of controlling objects.

At this moment, the black aura completely subsided.

"As expected, the Demon of the Underground Cave has intricate connections with the Demon Race!"

Before it was just a suspicion, but now it's almost certain.

He then took out another jade bottle, but the aura inside, after being purified, remained completely still.

Suddenly, Gu Yuanqing looked into the Dragon Demon Realm with his Void-Piercing Heavenly Eye.

It was still daytime in the Dragon Demon Realm, but perhaps it was just my imagination, the sunlight seemed slightly dimmer, and faintly tinged with a blood-red hue.

……

Inside the battlefield of gods and demons in the Divine Ruins.

Mu Tianheng felt a sense of unease creeping into his mind, as if it were an instinctive, inexplicable fear that was hard to suppress. Then, he saw a blood-red beam of light suddenly descend from the giant eye in the sky and disappear into the Forbidden Land of Return to Silence.

Within the sect, the ancient legends that had been passed down suddenly flashed through his mind, and a look of solemnity appeared on his face. Then, he stomped his foot suddenly.

A vortex appeared on the altar stele of the Divine Forbidden Mountain Mausoleum, revealing a figure sitting cross-legged within it, whose face was identical to Mu Tianheng's.

Only when the vortex opened did this person open his eyes, then stand up and slowly walk out.

Meanwhile, Mu Tianheng, who was originally in charge of everything outside, transformed into a stream of light and entered the man's brow.

Lei Fuyue, who appeared on the sacred mountain ridge to discuss important matters, had his pupils shrink.

He had thought that the one who had been in charge of everything before was Mu Tianheng's true self, but in reality, it was just an avatar. The one in front of him was the real Mu Tianheng!
"Is it time?" Mu Tianheng looked up and said softly, then turned to look at Lei Fuyue, who was still in a daze, and smiled, "Why is Junior Brother Lei looking at me like that?"

Lei Fuyue took a deep breath and asked, "Has the Sect Master become a demigod?"

Mu Tianheng smiled calmly: "It's not that easy. At least I haven't undergone tribulation yet!"

Lei Fuyue's heart skipped a beat, but he smiled and said, "If that's the case, then I'm relieved."

"Huh?" Mu Tianheng asked, puzzled.

“I mean, if the sect leader is stronger, then this plan is even less likely to be unexpected,” Lei Fuyue said.

Mu Tianheng smiled: "Proceed according to plan, get ready to make your move! The Demon Clan has been preparing for this day for countless years. Don't make any mistakes due to carelessness, or it will really be troublesome."

"As you command, Sect Master!" Lei Fuyue's figure disappeared.

Mu Tianheng glanced at Li Lingyun, who was still fighting at the boundary gate, and finally fixed his gaze on the increasingly powerful Guiji Forbidden Land ahead. He murmured to himself, "I have been preparing for this day for countless years. So, Senior Brother Li and Junior Brother Lei, I hope you will not go astray."

As soon as the words fell, the entire Divine Forbidden Mountain Range suddenly shone brightly, trembled with a buzzing sound, and the power of the Heavenly Law Bell descended.

The power of the entire forbidden area began to change. Previously, the power of the forbidden area was scattered and not concentrated, only serving to protect its own safety. But now, it began to permeate the entire forbidden area. The power descending from the divine artifact of rules merged into one, and under Mu Tianheng's mind, the power of the forbidden area was fully revived.

A huge phantom of the Heavenly Law Bell appeared around the entire Divine Forbidden Mountain Range, and then suddenly crashed into the Forbidden Land of Silence ahead.
