I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Zhang Hong stood in the air and looked around. He could see that this place was blocked by many formations, including some killing formations.

The tiankeng is filled with sharp Gengjin energy, as well as a strong evil aura. If an ordinary creature accidentally enters it, they will probably be destroyed in the blink of an eye.

What a dangerous place!

On the surface, the bottom of the tiankeng was just a lush forest. But Zhang Hong's eyesight could see through the barrier and see the real situation.

At the bottom of the sinkhole is a desolate dark red plain with no grass and jagged rocks.

There were thousands of weapons of various styles inserted into it, some of which were broken and decayed, some were rusty, and some still emitted a faint light. The vast amount of Gengjin Qi in the tiankeng was emitted by these tens of thousands of weapons.

"This is a dangerous place left by the ancient demon god Chi You, called Chi You Blood Cave."

Li Changgeng explained: "Back then, the Netherworld Blood Demon was born from it, causing chaos among the people. After the Blood Demon was suppressed, the ancestors of the Shushan Sect built the Demon Suppression Tower, set up the Sword Tomb and the Demon Sealing Array, and used the Gengjin Qi to suppress the Blood Demon Qi."

Zhang Hong took a look and saw that there was indeed a bronze pagoda in the center of the sinkhole.

It was about ten feet high, and the golden tower had a lot of green rust on it. It had nine floors in total, and swords, demon-subduing pestles, Buddhist beads, Buddhist dust and other magical instruments were hung on the eight corners of the tower. They were all top-notch magical instruments with a restrained divine light and an extraordinary aura.

Dozens of black iron chains locked the bronze pagoda at one end and were deeply embedded in the surrounding ground at the other end. The position of the locks seemed to form the node of the formation.

The tower is engraved with scriptures and runes, and white light flows among these runes. The Gengjin energy in the entire sword tomb, pulled by the black iron chain, gathers on the pagoda.

【To suppress demons】

On the bronze pagoda, two powerful characters are full of sharp meaning and contain boundless sword intent.

According to Li Changgeng, this was carved by the immortal from Shushan Sect who presided over the construction of the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

Zhang Hong is well-read and has a broad vision. He can tell at a glance that this bronze tower and the sword tomb formed a powerful sealing formation.

The bronze tower is the eye of the formation. It takes the Gengjin energy as its source and is used to suppress the endless bloody evil energy underground.

Not only can it seal, but it can also slowly dissipate and resolve the evil spirit, constantly weakening the dark force in the seal.

Li Changgeng also said that the founder of Shushan Sect, who had joined forces with more than ten powerful men in the Earthly Immortal Realm from other sects, had built this Demon-Suppressing Tower and the Demon-Sealing Array to suppress the Netherworld Blood Cave and the Blood Demon.

"In recent years, the restrictions in the Demon Suppression Tower have been loosened. To avoid any accidents, the Supreme Elder has no choice but to sit in the tower and preside over the formation. Please come in, Tianzun."

Zhang Hong followed Li Changgeng through the restriction and entered the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

The vision suddenly opens up.

The exterior of this demon-suppressing tower looked only a dozen feet high, but there was something else inside. There was a wide space that could almost hold a hundred-foot mountain. It seemed that it was blessed with space magic.

The floor of the inner space is covered with countless glowing runes and scriptures, forming a Tai Chi Bagua formation.

On the surrounding golden walls, the golden shadows of the four divine beasts, eight celestial dragons, and countless magic weapons float up and down, which is mysterious.

In the center of the Bagua formation on the ground, there stood a ten-foot-high giant sword, deeply inserted into the ground.

Nine black iron chains extended from the four walls of the pagoda and were connected to the hilt of the giant sword. The Gengjin energy was injected into the giant sword along the chains, and the giant sword exuded an aura that could suppress the heaven and earth.

In the open space in front of the giant sword, an old man with white hair and beard and a handsome face was sitting cross-legged on a cushion with his eyes closed, making hand gestures. The magical energy in his body surged and merged with the surrounding magic circle.

It's not quite accurate to call him an old man. There is not a single wrinkle on his face, his complexion is ruddy, and his skin is as delicate as a baby's. If you ignore his hair, it would be more appropriate to call him a young man.

Seeing Zhang Hong coming, the white-haired old man put away his magic power, opened his eyes, stood up and saluted solemnly.

"I am Zhou Jianfeng, a junior monk. I am honored to meet you, the Heavenly Lord."

Zhang Hong bowed in return.

"Elder Zhou, I came here today to eliminate the hidden dangers here. Please explain in detail."

Elder Zhou stroked his long beard, sighed softly, and said, "This is a long story. Please sit down and listen to me slowly."

"The Chiyou Blood Cave under the Demon Suppression Tower is said to be formed from the devil blood of the ancient devil Chiyou when he was killed. Chiyou was a devil comparable to the Golden Immortal. When he was killed, he was filled with resentment and his devil blood was extremely strange. Over the past tens of millions of years, I don't know how much evil has been absorbed, forming an endless blood cave underground..."

"As for the Netherworld Blood Demon, his origin is also extremely extraordinary."

"It is said that he is a monster naturally bred in the blood cave of Chiyou. Some say that he is the reincarnation of the ancestor of the Styx, and some say that he is the incarnation of Chiyou's immortal evil thoughts. No one knows whether it is true or not. All we know is that this monster was born five thousand years ago and brought disaster to the world. As soon as he was born, he had the cultivation of an earthly immortal and possessed the magical power of the sea of ​​blood. He slaughtered and devoured millions of lives and thousands of monks!"

"If the gods and Buddhas from the upper realms had not come down to earth and joined forces with the monks on earth to suppress it, the human world would have been destroyed."

"But a thousand years after being destroyed, the blood demon reborn from Chiyou's blood cave again and brought disaster to the world. After that, every time it was destroyed, this demon would be reborn after about a thousand years. The immortals and Buddhas in the upper realm and various sects in the human world tried various methods, but they were unable to completely destroy this demon."

"In the end, they had no choice but to work together to set up this Demon Suppression Tower and the Ten Thousand Swords Demon Sealing Formation to suppress the Blood Demon's Blood Cave. Even so, this Demon Suppression Tower must be reinforced once a hundred years, and a Yangshen cultivator must be stationed in the tower."

"Three hundred years ago, the Demon Suppression Tower moved strangely, and the Demon Sealing Formation became loose. I was afraid that the Blood Demon would take advantage of the opportunity to appear, so I personally took charge and reinforced the formation."

After listening to Elder Zhou's story, Zhang Hong had a comprehensive understanding of the Chiyou Blood Cave and the Blood Demon.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Hong speculated: "As long as the blood cave is not empty, the blood demon will not die. It seems that this blood demon is closely related to Chiyou's blood cave. Three hundred years ago... it was the time when the human dynasty was changing. Years of war and people's livelihood were in misery. Perhaps this accelerated the growth of the power of Chiyou's blood cave."

"What the Heavenly Venerable said is very true. This junior also speculates in the same way."

"Has the immortal Buddha in heaven never thought of a way to destroy the blood cave?"

"Well. Of course I have tried. It is said that a Bodhisattva came down from heaven and wanted to completely eliminate the blood demon. However, after the Bodhisattva tried to no avail, he said that the birth of this demon was God's will, and God's will cannot be violated..."

Zhang Hong said coldly: "I don't believe in the will of heaven. For cultivators like me, seeking immortality with our mortal bodies is actually defying heaven and changing our fate. How can we be timid because of the will of heaven?"

"What the Lord said is right. I will learn from you."

"Elder Zhou, Master Li, I am about 70% sure that I can eliminate the blood demon. Please release the restrictions. I will enter the blood cave and do it myself!"

The color of Zhou Jian’s cover changed drastically.

He hurriedly advised: "Tianzun, please don't be impulsive! This blood cave is extremely dangerous. Even a great immortal cannot guarantee that he will escape unscathed after entering. Tianzun, please think twice!"
