Chapter 782: Out of the Ghost Gate
Although the crisis in the refining domain has been resolved, there is still a very important matter to be resolved for Ye Zan or the Shenhua domain, and that is the evil spirits who escaped from the black prison.
At the beginning, due to the hands and feet of the Tianyu Dao ancestor, the will of the heavens and the earth in the Shenhua domain suddenly couldn't accommodate the dharma realm and the power of the gods. As a result, Daoist Linghua, who sits in Tiandao Mountain, is unable to suppress the evil spirits in the black prison, and he is trapped in the depths of the black prison.
In addition to besieging Daoist Linghua, who also did not dare to reveal the stronger aura of the monarch-level evil demons, the rest of the Yin-sha demons equivalent to the primordial spirit level poured out of the black prison like a flood that broke a bank. Accompanied by the yin and evil qi leaking out from the black prison, these yin and evil spirits spread rapidly in all directions with Tiandao Mountain as the center, forming a huge ghost land of Yin.
In this haunted land of darkness, not to mention the mortals in the world, even some third-rate sects, no one can escape. Seeing this situation, the surrounding big sects felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. After all, their own Dharma Xiangdao and even Tongtian Supreme didn't dare to leak a trace of breath to the outside at that time.
Later, there was a change in the underworld, the method of Tianyu Daozu lost its effect, and the will of heaven and earth returned to its original appearance again. The patriarchs of several major sects in the surrounding area can finally take action in person, but the ghost domain has also expanded to the extent that they cannot easily erase it.
Why, when Xuanyuan Daozu reshaped his Dharma body, the few supreme beings who were attracted by the movement did not appear on the battlefield of the underworld in the end? It's not that the Zizai Supreme is unwilling to take them, nor is it that they are afraid to face the evil spirits outside the sky, but that this mess outside also needs someone to clean up.
In the Yincao Difu, while many powerful beings resist the evil spirits from outside the sky, at the same time, the four Supreme Supreme Beings, including the Hunyuan Supreme of the Five Elements School, the Great Miao Supreme of the Shenxiao School, the Dongxuan Supreme of the Lingxu School, and the Wunian Supreme of the Taixu School, It is also cleaning up those evil spirits from four directions outside the ghost domain.
The role of Tiandao Mountain is not only to help the talented disciples of various sects to realize the Tao, but more importantly, it is to suppress the evil spirits in the black prison. The large formation formed by the Forest of Steles of Enlightenment will operate on its own every once in a while, mainly to weaken the power of those evil spirits. Then Daoist Linghua will bring many guardians into the black prison to kill those Yin Sha demons whose strength has been greatly weakened, especially those who have reached or will reach the monarch level.
That is to say, without the great formation of the Forest of Steles of Enlightenment, Daoist Linghua would not be fully confident in facing the monarch-level evil spirits in the black prison. It's not about how strong the monarch-level Yin Sha demons are, the key is that there are too many of them. When the difference in strength is not very big, it is normal for a tiger to be no match for a pack of wolves.
The shackles of heaven and earth have returned to the past, and the powers of the Faxiang Realm and the Heaven-reaching Realm on the side of the ascetics can be shot, but those monarch-level Yin Sha demons are also free of restraint.
After these four Tongtian Supremes took action, the initial clean-up and suppression went smoothly.
It directly reduced the area of that ghost domain by more than half. However, with the appearance of those monarch-level yin evil spirits, although the four heavenly supreme beings would not have much trouble, the speed of clearing the ghost domain suddenly slowed down.
It is precisely because of this that the four Tongtian Supremes did not follow the Zizai Supreme directly to the underworld. After all, there are already monarch-level Yin Sha demons in the ghost domain. Once the four of them leave, the ghost domain may expand thousands of times in an instant. At the same time, the strength of those yin and evil spirits will be further strengthened by the expanded ghost domain, and it is not impossible to reach the limit of the shackles of heaven and earth.
At that time, even if Tongtian Supreme takes action, at most it will limit the continued expansion of the ghost domain, and it will be even more difficult to completely eradicate it.
Going back to Ye Zan, he manipulated the war fortress out of the gate of hell. He also considered the situation around Tiandao Mountain, and this thing really couldn't pass through the teleportation array, so he flew towards the entrance of the black prison. On this journey, I really didn't encounter any evil spirits, obviously they all went outside to have a carnival. Devouring vitality and absorbing yang energy is a gluttonous feast for Yin Sha demons.
At the same time, Ye Zan also discovered the bones of some guardians from various sects through the detectors placed in the black prison. This accident happened so suddenly that even Daoist Linghua was suppressed in the depths of the black prison, and these guardians naturally had no luck.
For some unknown reason, Ye Zan dispatched an unmanned aerial vehicle to move the bones of those guardians to the war fortress. Even if there are people from the Star Sect and Taiyi Sect, some may have died bravely in battle, and some may have been killed because they were afraid of death, but they all died in their "posts" after all.
Coming to the entrance of the black prison, the entrance doesn't look that big, it seems that it is not enough to allow the huge war fortress to pass through. However, Ye Zan had learned the method of entering and exiting this black prison from Taoist Linghua long ago, so he stood in front of the gate of the fortress and pinched the magic formula.
As Ye Zan pinched the magic formula, the entrance of the black prison quickly became larger, and a beam of light fell on the war fortress, pulling the huge war fortress over. The huge volume of the war fortress shrunk under the light of traction, coupled with the enlargement of the entrance of the black prison, finally passed through the light film of the entrance smoothly, and came to the sky above Tiandao Mountain outside.
At this time, Tiandao Mountain, as the center of the ghost domain, naturally gathered countless evil spirits. Seeing the sudden appearance of the War Fortress, the yin and evil demons crowded into Tiandao Mountain suddenly rushed towards the War Fortress like they had been stung by a hornet's nest.
This kind of evil spirit has no brains and is driven by instinct. It may not even be comparable to ordinary beasts. But it was precisely because of this that they didn't have any confusion or timidity at all, and they didn't think about the origin of the enemy at all, and whether they had the ability to deal with them.
Facing the frenzied evil spirits, Ye Zan was naturally unceremonious, turned his head towards a large platform on the side of the fortress and shouted: "Don't sleep, get up and work! I have slept for thousands of years, Still sleeping!"
The platform of the War Fortress is a bit like a super-large apron. It could have been a square used by the demons outside the sky to hold war mobilization meetings. But now, there is a big guy like a hill lying on the platform square, it is the crypt lord who was subdued by Ye Zan.
Before, in the underworld, when the ascetics fought against the evil spirits from outside the sky, there was no influence of the crypt lord on the battlefield. It was because this guy dug a hole to bury himself, and then fled all the way to the edge of the battlefield. If it weren't for the fact that the Zerg Queen was here with Ye Zan, maybe even Ye Zan wouldn't be able to find him in the end.
When everything was over, Ye Zan came back with the War Fortress, and received everyone who came to ask for a message. It wasn't until it was time to leave that the crypt lord came out of the ground and brought Ye Zan to the war fortress and placed him on the platform-like square.
Although the crypt lord is quite timid, with his powerful defense, he also has the strength close to the law level. Therefore, when Xuanyuan Daozu left and Yuqingzong had no great ability to sit in charge, Ye Zan would naturally not let go of such a combat power.
Hearing Ye Zan's shout, the crypt lord turned his head and looked this way, straightened up and stretched as if he had just woken up from a big dream, and then lazily waved his sickle at the coming Yin Sha demon arm. Immediately, countless small beetles flew out from under its carapace like a cloud of black mist, and swept towards those evil spirits.
As for the cultivators, Ye Zan specifically asked Taoist Xuanyuan about the definition of evil spirits outside the sky. After all, Ye Zan himself can be regarded as an alien, if the ascetics regard all aliens as demons, then his identity will be embarrassing.
Fortunately, on the side of the ascetics, the definition of the evil spirits outside the sky is relatively clear, and there is no intention to expand the scope of attack. Their so-called extraterrestrial demons refer specifically to the group of people who call themselves wizards, rather than counting all the extraterrestrials among them. For example, the giant tree in the Arctic Immortal Palace, like Ye Zan, came from outside the world of Taoism, but Taoist Xuanqing still planted it in the Arctic Immortal Palace.
There is a saying that the enemy who is called an enemy is a friend.
The world where the giant tree was originally located was destroyed in the hands of wizards, so it has a "blood feud" with the wizard world. On the side of the monastic world, it is fighting against the world of wizards, and the World War One broke the world, and the giant tree can be regarded as sympathetic. Naturally, on the side of ascetics, the giant tree will not be regarded as an extraterrestrial evil spirit, but as an existence similar to an ally.
This is also the reason why Ye Zan and others were able to obtain the leaves given by the giant tree when they first explored the Immortal Palace.
There is also the blood of the western giant dragon on Shi Lin. The world where the western giant dragon is located has also been captured by wizards and has become a subsidiary world of the wizard world. And in the blood of this western giant dragon, there is hidden hatred for the wizarding world, so it is favored by the giant tree, and it has given so many leaves.
Speaking of the Crypt Lord, Xuanyuan Daozu had contact with Xianting, and he also had a certain understanding of the information of the wizarding world. Therefore, Ye Zan also learned something about the origin of the crypt lord from Taoist Xuanyuan. Although this crypt lord was left over when the wizards invaded this world and retreated in ancient times, it was born in a world called the Abyss, which was opposed to the wizarding world.
Compared with the world of wizards, the overall strength of the world called Abyss can be said to be on par with each other. Just like the world of cultivation and the world of wizards, the two sides have fought fiercely against each other for tens of thousands of years, and generally speaking, they have won and lost each other. The wizarding world is also fighting against the abyss world in order to strengthen its strength, while desperately occupying other worlds, wanting to obtain more resources, unexpectedly offending the monastic world.
However, the strength of the wizarding world is indeed strong. Even if it confronts the abyss world over there, it still smashes the world of monasticism here. If there is no abyss world, the wizard world will use all its strength to deal with the monastic world, and the result of the ancient battle between immortals and demons will be unimaginable.
It is precisely because of this that the Taoist world does not dare to expand the attack indiscriminately, but finds a way to "unite all forces that can be united".
Speaking of back to the crypt lord. Don't look at it looking like a beetle, but it doesn't really eat leaves like a beetle, but feeds on the so-called evil energy. It is precisely because of this that it was able to not only survive such a long time in this underworld, but also possess a strength close to that of the law.
It is said that the abyss world is a place similar to the underworld, full of all kinds of evil thoughts and filthy aura, that kind of aura may be called the abyss aura. All creatures in the abyss world do not necessarily feed on the breath of the abyss, but they must be extremely dependent on the breath of the abyss in terms of living environment. It's like human beings have a strong dependence on oxygen, and they cannot live without oxygen.
But now, in the face of those evil spirits, what the crypt lord sees is not an enemy, but a delicious meal. You know, in the underworld, although the yin is extremely heavy, the taste is still a bit monotonous, and the crypt lord has long wanted to taste other flavors.
I saw the black mist composed of countless small beetles rushing out from the crypt lord with a buzz, like a black hurricane, sweeping towards the Yin Sha demon. Those yin and evil spirits didn't feel anything at first, but when they were involved in the black hurricane, it was too late to realize that something was wrong.
Of course, Yin Sha demons have no thinking, so even in the face of such a desperate situation, no one will back down half a step, and they are still like moths to a flame, constantly actively throwing themselves into the black hurricane. This makes the crypt lord so beautiful, those little beetles are its incarnation, so the Yin Sha demons are tantamount to actively feeding it into its mouth, without any effort at all.
In a blink of an eye, the black hurricane composed of countless small beetles surrounded the fortress of war, sweeping away the evil spirits that kept coming. It's not that the other Yin Sha demons are afraid, but because a large number of Yin Sha demons rushed over and were devoured, a blank area was formed, and the Yin Sha demons in the distance hadn't had time to rush over yet.
At this time, Ye Zan was not idle either, he raised his hand and threw out a long whip, which was the Vientiane whip that Master Linghua entrusted him to bring back. The Vientiane long whip flew up into the air and turned into stepped stone tablets. Dao artistic conceptions surged out of the stone tablets and swept towards the surroundings of Tiandao Mountain.
Under the sweeping of these avenues of artistic conception, the evil spirit around Tiandao Mountain was swept away, and the sky above the head actually saw the sun.
