Chapter 721 Deep Into the Demon Abyss
magic domain.
The action of in-depth investigation into the Demon Realm went smoothly unexpectedly.
Zhou Yang and the others originally thought that no matter how empty the Demon Realm was at the moment, if they wanted to reach the top of the original Ice Sea Demon Abyss, they would have to go through a lot of hard work to succeed.
But in fact, during this journey, apart from the occasional unsightly monsters crashing into the flying boat and dying, they didn't encounter any obstacles.
This is undoubtedly very abnormal!
"Less than a thousand miles ahead is the place where the Ice Sea Demon Abyss is located. There are no demons coming out to stop them along the way. Xu guesses that they want to concentrate their strength on the Demon Abyss and wait for a showdown with me. There they Occupying a huge geographical advantage, all fellow Taoists must be careful and must not be careless!"
On the flying boat, Xu Tianlin slowed down the speed of the flying boat a little, looked at Zhou Yang and the other fourteen monks with serious expressions, and gave instructions.
As the leader of this trip, this is his responsibility. Regardless of whether other people have this awareness, they must say it again.
All the cultivators didn't make a sound, they just clasped their favorite instruments tightly in their hands, showing their importance with practical actions.
Not long after, the flying boat officially arrived at the sky above the Ice Sea Demon Abyss.
Although this so-called Ice Sea Demon Abyss has the word "ice sea", it actually has nothing to do with the ocean.
The word "ice sea" here actually describes a vast and endless ice lake like an ocean.
This icy lake was formed in ancient times. The reason why such a huge icy lake was formed at the beginning was because in ancient times, the great supernatural cultivators fought here with the real demons who guarded the passages of the demon world, so that the land sank.
And the Demon Abyss is a huge crack tens of miles wide and hundreds of miles long above the ice lake.
This crack did not exist in ancient times.
In ancient times, after those immortal cultivators with great supernatural powers destroyed the passages of the demon world, they first used their great supernatural powers to purify the demonic energy that spread everywhere. The ten thousand feet of solid ice acted as a cover, covering the devilish energy gushing out from the bottom of the icy lake below.
It's just that it's better to block than to sparse. There is no problem with this kind of seal lasting for hundreds of years, but after a long time, as more and more demonic energy is accumulated at the bottom of the ice lake, there is something wrong with the seal after all.
The huge crack that formed the Demon Abyss was formed after the first eruption of demon energy.
However, although the demonic energy broke through the seal at that time, it was quickly suppressed and purified by a Transcendence True Immortal from another realm of cultivating immortals.
However, even though the Tribulation Transcendence True Immortal had strong means, he was unable to repair the seal because the supernatural power he cultivated was not ice-type supernatural power.
Therefore, he could only set up a large formation near the Moyuan to purify the demonic energy overflowing from the Moyuan, and at the same time, ordered the major forces in the world of cultivating immortals in Beiting Continent to establish a station next to the Moyuan, and sent people to monitor and guard in turn to prevent Moxiu from intruding. Enter the magic abyss to practice.
For thousands of years, it's not that Moxiu didn't have the idea of attacking the Ice Sea Demon Abyss.
But even if there is a magic cultivator who can successfully break into the demon abyss through the obstruction of the guarding monks, at most he can use the abundant magic energy to break through a small realm of cultivation, and it is impossible to make the magic energy in the magic abyss grow again The gushing eruption.
That's why "Master Heavenly Corpse" guided the eruption of demonic energy in the Ice Sea Demon Abyss this time, which made Zhou Yang suspect that there was a powerful existence from the upper realm intervening in it.
And after the demonic energy erupted this time, the area of the demonic abyss also expanded several times.
The Demon Abyss that appeared in the sight of Zhou Yang and others now is a huge ice abyss with a width of a hundred miles and a length of nearly two thousand miles. The dark and ink-like magic energy is constantly gushing out of the ice abyss like thick water mist , continue to provide strength support for the existence of the entire Demon Realm.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, what do you think those devils are planning? We have already killed here, and they haven't shown their heads yet. Is it because they are determined that we will not be able to cause harm to this demon realm?"
After all the cultivators sized up and observed the Moyuan for a while, the cultivator surnamed You of the Nine Suns Sect frowned and looked at Xu Tianlin, expressing his doubts in a low voice.
Judging from the current situation, Xu Tianlin's previous judgment was obviously not completely correct.
Moxiu, who guards the Demon Realm, doesn't seem to have any plans to fight them, nor is he worried about them destroying the Demon Realm.
In fact, they really couldn't cause much damage to this demon realm.
The Demon Realm was formed due to the infestation of demonic energy, unless they can reseal the Ice Sea Demon Abyss, or arrange a large array to purify the devil energy overflowing from the Ice Sea Demon Abyss like the true immortal who crossed the catastrophe, and completely cut off the Demon Realm The source of the magic energy, otherwise, it would be impossible to cause much damage to this already formed magic domain.
"Guo Daoyou, Zhou Daoyou, do you feel it?"
When Xu Tianlin turned his head, he didn't look at the monk You surnamed who was asking about the situation. Instead, he looked at Guo Huaiyang, who had the seventh level of Nascent Soul cultivation, and Zhou Yang, who had also reached the late Nascent Soul stage.
"Magic energy can distort and affect the results of spiritual investigations. Guo can only vaguely feel that there are people hiding in the devil's abyss, but he doesn't know how many people there are and where they are hiding."
Guo Huaiyang said in a heavy voice the result of his own investigation, but it was equivalent to answering the question of monk You on behalf of Xu Tianlin.
"Zhou and Guo Daoyou found out about the same situation." Zhou Yang simply echoed Guo Huaiyang's words.
When the other people heard what the two of them said, they also understood what Xu Tianlin meant, and all of them looked at Mo Yuan with sharp eyes.
Seeing this, Xu Tianlin took advantage of the opportunity and said: "According to the information provided by Zhou Daoyou, there should only be three or four Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators in the Demon Realm, and the one with the highest cultivation level should be the [Thousand Soul Venerable] of the Demon Dao. Now with the help of magic energy, it has broken through to the late stage of Nascent Soul."
"There are only a few people here, even if they occupy the best geographical advantage, they will definitely lose to our absolute superiority in numbers!"
"So fellow daoists, since we have arrived here, we should go forward bravely and do our best to find out the truth!"
After his words were finished, Master Qingyang was the first to respond and said: "Qingyang is willing to follow Daoist Xu directly to the devil's nest!"
"I would like to go straight to the devil's nest with Fellow Daoist Xu!"
All the cultivators shouted in unison, the sound was like thunder shaking the sky, it could be heard for thousands of miles.
"Okay! With all of you accompanying us through life and death, Xu has no regrets!"
Xu Tianlin cheered loudly with an excited expression, and when he activated the [Qing Ling Xuan Guang] supernatural power to protect himself, he jumped down the demon abyss in the first place.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang and the rest of the people also tried their best to protect themselves, followed him into the magic abyss like a file entering the water.
The concentration of magic energy in the Demon Abyss is several times or dozens of times that of the Demon Realm outside. For immortal cultivators such as Zhou Yang, after entering this kind of place, not only can they no longer absorb a bit of heaven and earth spiritual energy from the outside world to supplement their own mana, they also need to Maintain protective supernatural powers at all times to prevent the magic energy from infiltrating into the body.
This alone will consume a lot of their mana.
Therefore, as soon as they entered the Demon Abyss, each of them directly held the [Soul Essence Stone] to replenish the consumed mana.
At this time, no one will feel bad about this loss.
When they sank thousands of feet, the expected sneak attack came as expected.
The four Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators headed by the gray-robed old man [Thousand Soul Venerable], together with all kinds of demon corpses and ghosts controlled and driven by them, charged at the Cultivators from all directions at the same time, killing all the Cultivators in an instant. got involved in the fight.
Being in the dangerous place of the Demon Abyss, Zhou Yang did not easily use those supernatural powers and magic weapons that consumed too much this time. He just protected himself with the [Evil Resisting Treasure Clothes], and then used the [Qianyang Golden Pagoda] and [Qianyang Gold Pagoda] to protect himself. Lamp】Two natal magic weapons work together to kill the enemy.
The group of them had an absolute advantage in numbers, even if he had reservations and did not try his best, even if the enemy had a geographical advantage, they still easily gained the upper hand in the battle.
Xu Tianlin and Guo Huaiyang, two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators teamed up and easily suppressed the [Honor of Thousand Souls]. The rest of them were unable to even parry against the attacks of their dozens of Nascent Soul stage cultivators. We can only try our best to take advantage of the geographical and environmental advantages in Moyuan to barely delay the pace of the cultivators.
"These demon cultivators want to consume our mana. It seems that they still have some killer moves hidden and haven't used them. Fellow Daoists, please pay attention to saving mana and don't waste mana on those low-level monsters!"
Xu Tianlin seemed to have noticed something. During the fight, he did not forget to explain his discovery to the other cultivators.
In fact, without his reminding, Zhou Yang also discovered this.
But the reason why he didn't say it directly like Xu Tianlin was not because he had malicious intentions, but because he knew that other people would definitely see this point quickly, so there was no need for him to rush to the front.
Hearing Xu Tianlin's reminder at this time, he couldn't help but glanced at the real Qingyang who was not far away from him, and secretly said: "Senior Qingyang, if you encounter any danger later, remember to stay with the junior, the junior has that thing in front of you." hand, presumably it is not a problem to get out!"
Master Qingyang knew what that thing was.
He glanced at Zhou Yang calmly, and nodded silently to show his understanding.
After receiving Xu Tianlin's reminder, all the cultivators did not kill the enemy as before, wasting their mana on the cannon fodder of those monsters that were not even below the fifth level. The depths of the abyss sank.
This ice sea demon abyss is said to be ten thousand zhang deep, and it is difficult for even a monk like Nie Yushuang, a "half-step true immortal" monk like Nie Yushuang, to get to the bottom.
Zhou Yang and the others didn't even think about bottoming out, that's not realistic.
The purpose of them going down into the devil's abyss is only to investigate the possible arrangements of the demon cultivators' backhands, and to investigate these, they don't need to go to the bottom.
Two thousand feet, three thousand feet, four thousand feet!
After Zhou Yang and the others forcibly sank by almost four thousand feet, the concentration of magic energy in the Moyuan had reached almost a liquid state.
In order to isolate themselves from the strong devilish energy, the mana they consumed per breath was comparable to all the mana possessed by a nine-story foundation-building monk.
In this environment, the magical powers they cast will be weakened out of thin air, and at the same time, the mana consumed by the imperial weapon will also be greatly increased.
In this environment, a demon cultivator at the early stage of Nascent Soul might even have a tie with a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
After Zhou Yang and his team reached this depth, their magical powers were almost suppressed by 20 to 30%, and if they went down, they would only be suppressed more severely.
"It's almost there, I don't need to go any further, let's put that thing here!"
After Xu Tianlin once again used his magical powers to defeat an evil spirit whose strength was close to the sixth level, he suddenly stopped and gave new instructions to the rest of the cultivators in a deep voice.
Hearing his words, those monks in the early stage of Nascent Soul were secretly relieved.
"Everyone can act according to the plan now. Xu, Guo Daoyou, Zhou Daoyou and others are out to protect the law. Wen Daoyou, the five of you, are responsible for releasing the thing to investigate the situation."
As Xu Tianlin said, he immediately shifted his figure, moved to the periphery, and stared in one direction.
Guo Huaiyang, Zhou Yang, Qingyang Zhenren and other monks who had already determined to protect the Dharma also chose a direction as a defense zone to protect the Dharma for the monks in charge of investigating the situation in the middle.
At this time, none of them was stingy with mana anymore, and any monster that dared to appear in their perception would be immediately attacked by them like a thunderbolt.
The monk Wen and others assigned by Xu Tianlin to investigate the situation in the middle area, after adding several layers of protection for themselves, each took out a puppet flying eagle magic weapon made of ice jade and cold iron and activated it. , dropped Moyuan.
These puppets are special magic weapons, and they have no combat ability. They can only transmit the sights seen by both eyes to a corresponding mirror magic weapon.
These magical weapons were refined by various sects in the world of cultivating immortals in Beitingzhou several years ago in order to investigate the bottom of the devil's abyss.
It's a pity that before Zhou Yang and others arrived, they were unable to go deep into the magic abyss to investigate, and these magical artifacts have been stored in the warehouse of the ice city to eat ashes.
At this time, as the monk surnamed Wen and others activated the puppet flying eagles and threw them into the magic abyss, making them fly in the direction set in advance, the dark and deep images of the depths of the magic abyss began to appear in the corresponding places one after another. On the top of the mirror.
Because of the erosive effect of magic energy on the magic weapon, the image transmitted by the puppet flying eagle is not very clear, and only some blurred images can be seen vaguely.
Fortunately, the number of these puppet flying eagles is large enough, and each monk has put in more than ten of them. With the accumulation of numbers, it is still enough for monk Wen and others to roughly observe the situation in the depths of the devil's abyss.
The magic cultivators such as 【Thousand Soul Venerable】 who were hiding in the heavy devil energy naturally discovered the existence of those puppet flying eagles, and they immediately sent out demon corpses and ghosts driven by themselves to hunt down and kill those puppet flying eagles, so as not to let Moyuan The bottom of the situation leaked.
But while those puppet flying eagles gave up their fighting ability, their flying speed was no less than that of the fifth-order demon birds. Demon corpses and ghosts that could catch up to them were really rare.
"In the end, I have already seen the image of the bottom of the Demon Abyss!"
A Nascent Soul cultivator yelled in surprise, and Zhou Yang couldn't help but turn his attention to the dozen or so jade mirrors in front of him.
I saw that on one of the jade mirrors, a blurry image of the bottom of the Moyuan could already be seen.
At the bottom of the ten-thousand-foot-deep demonic abyss, the demonic energy was completely condensed into water, and the puppet flying eagle flew in it extremely slowly, and the body of the magic weapon was eroded by the demonic dye at an extremely fast speed. The rest time is completely scrapped and loses its effect.
"I'm at the end here too."
The monk surnamed Wen also suddenly cried out. Several of the puppet flying eagles he released reached the bottom of the devil's abyss at the same time, and sent back the images they saw.
In the back, one-third of the nearly one hundred puppet eagles released successfully reached the bottom of the Demon Abyss. Through the images transmitted back by them, Zhou Yang and others finally had a general idea of the situation at the bottom of the Demon Abyss. learn.
Judging from the image, the bottom of the Demon Abyss seems to still maintain its appearance in ancient times, with collapsed rocks and huge ice everywhere, a devastated and dilapidated scene.
This is undoubtedly a good thing, indicating that the demon cultivators have not yet established a firm foothold there, otherwise it would certainly not make it look so chaotic.
However, before Zhou Yang and the others could be happy about it, they were caught by a startled breath.
"No, there is something under the Demon Abyss, it seems to be an altar, ah, what is that!"
The Nascent Soul cultivator who was exclaiming suddenly opened his mouth wide and screamed, and a jade mirror in front of him suddenly shattered and turned into powder.
Such a change immediately attracted everyone's attention, Xu Tianlin immediately looked at the monk and shouted: "Fellow Daoist Pei, what did you find?"
"Altar, a tall and magnificent altar, on which lies a huge monster. It is hard to tell whether the monster is a statue or a real monster. The puppet flying eagle is instantly destroyed as soon as it approaches the altar within a thousand feet!"
The monk surnamed Pei came back to his senses, and opened his mouth wide to tell what he had just seen.
Xu Tianlin heard the words, and said decisively: "That's right, that altar must be the backhand of these demons. Fellow Daoist Wen, you guys should put all the spare puppets at the altar, and you must check it out. What about that altar!"
