Chapter 992 Nine Heavens Demon Slayer Patriarch
Yuan Zhen, who was refining spiritual energy at Tongtian Peak, suddenly seemed to sense something and opened her eyes suddenly.
There was nothing in front of her, but she turned around immediately and saw a figure with white hair and a young face standing in front of the Tongtian Refining Dao Tower.
"Meetings, Master!"
The moment Yuan Zhen saw Yuan Qingque, she immediately saluted.
"Well, I'm here to deal with some things. You should also pack up, and I'll take you to the battlefield on the border later."
Yuan Qingque waved his hand, signaling Yuan Zhen to get up, and then the whole figure suddenly turned into an illusion and disappeared in front of the tower.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Zhen vaguely guessed something and couldn't help but be shocked.
But she knew that with her identity, in the face of the great situation in Dongzhou, the only thing she could do was to obey.
There are two ways to enter the Tongtian Refining Dao Tower.
One is the secret of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, which can directly step into the highest sixth floor.
The other is to start from the bottom of the tower and climb up layer by layer.
In the past, Yuan Qingque always went directly to the sixth floor, but today might be his last time to come to this tower, so he thought about going for a walk again.
Yuan Qingque gently raised his hand and waved it, and the door at the bottom of the tower was opened, revealing a passage.
At this moment, roars sounded, and countless monsters with true spirit blood began to rush towards this opened passage like crazy.
Yuan Qingque took a step in, and the vast and invisible true energy burst out. All the monsters that rushed over flew back and hit the walls around the tower.
If these monsters were not still useful, they would probably be turned into meat paste with just this one blow.
Yuan Qingque flew into the first floor leisurely, and the passage behind him slowly closed, as if it had never been opened.
The tower was dark, but there were rays of light coming in from the outside, and one could vaguely see one after another of strange monsters.
Yuan Qingque hadn't been to the sixth floor for a long time, and these lower-level monsters hadn't been here for long, so they basically didn't recognize him.
But after the attack just now, all the monsters looked at him with fear.
Yuan Qingque strolled for a while, and suddenly felt that it was meaningless, so he went straight to the top of the tower.
The fifth floor was the cage of the Demon Lord.
Compared with the four floors below, this place seemed like a complete little world, with starlight on the top, and a faint smell of grass between breaths.
In the middle was a group of white mist, and there was a sitting figure inside, it was the Demon Lord.
When seeing Yuan Qingque coming up, a hint of surprise appeared in the eyes of the Demon Lord.
Although this day had been anticipated when the Tongtian Refining Dao Tower was frequently activated, when he really saw the first incarnation of Dongzhou, he still felt that the human race was really blessed.
"You have actually taken that step."
The voice of the Demon Lord echoed in the tower, low and penetrating.
Yuan Qingque smiled calmly. After untying the thread, he was free from any shackles and stepped into the realm of Lianxu easily.
However, if he completely stepped over the threshold and achieved Lianxu, he would have to ascend to the realm of tribulation, so he now maintained one foot at the peak of the realm of transformation and the other at the critical point of Lianxu.
The Demon Lord was also at the peak of the realm of transformation. When he saw Yuan Qingque now, he knew that he had made a breakthrough.
This was the realm it had always dreamed of, but it was a pity that after thousands of years, it could not even see the threshold.
It was precisely because of this that it lamented the unique advantages of the human race.
Although their lifespans were far inferior to those of their true spirits, there would always be people with extraordinary talents in cultivation, who would surpass their efforts of thousands of years in a very short period of time.
"You are also a monster with good fortune. It is not easy to cultivate to such a realm. It is a pity to kill you. I will give you two choices today."
"One is to die in the Tongtian Refining Dao Tower and be refined into Dao Dan by me as a resource for my disciple to become a god."
"The second is to be like the yellow dragon and go through the ascension tribulation with me. If you can successfully reach the Lingkong Immortal Realm, I will definitely ask the ancestor to give you a position as a monster fairy."
After Yuan Qingque finished speaking, the white mist around the demon lord began to roll violently, as if brewing some powerful power, and the entire fifth floor even trembled slightly.
However, Yuan Qingque was unmoved, just standing there with a calm face.
Now he is invincible in the world.
"You want me to help you resist the nine-fold heavenly tribulation."
The tone of the demon lord was slightly cold.
Why did Yiyuan Zhenjun have to subdue the fifth-level yellow dragon in Yunmengze before ascending? In addition to cause and effect, it was also because of the ascension tribulation. If the spirit beast with his contract was brought along, he would be regarded as one by the rules of heaven and earth.
In this case, the power of the nine-layer heavenly tribulation would be triggered by the stronger one between the cultivator and the spirit beast.
But the cultivator can fight the tribulation together with the spirit beast.
It is equivalent to evenly distributing the original 100% of the ascension tribulation to the cultivator and the spirit beast.
However, between cultivators and spirit beasts, except for those who grew up together and shared life and death, the rest must have different levels.
After Yiyuan Zhenjun subdued the yellow dragon and made a contract, the latter could only recognize him as the master and fight to the death during the ascension tribulation.
And Yaozun and Yuan Qingque also had no trust foundation. If they wanted to ascend together, they would have to make a blood contract that could not resist.
Among them, there is another biggest problem.
That is, when ascending, Yuan Qingque was practicing emptiness, but Yaozun was not necessarily.
Even the Peak of Divine Transformation is already the most extreme state in the Tianhe Realm, but compared to the Tribulation of Ascension, it is still not enough.
Many of the ascended monks in the Tianhe Realm in the past generations carried the contracted true spirits. Although no news came after their ascension, according to the speculation of the Demon Lord, most of them died in the ninth level of heavenly tribulation, protecting the monks from disasters and saving money. Got strength.
So it doesn't want to.
Yuan Qingque didn't say anything more, his eyes lit up with a bright light, and on the sixth floor of the Tongtian Dao Refining Tower, a terrifying fairy light suddenly poured out that made the void tremble and twist.
Immortal light fell into Yuan Qingque's body, and he easily crossed the threshold.
This is not Yuan Qingque's breakthrough, but that he borrowed the power of training from the sixth floor of Tongtian Dao Refining Tower. This is also one of the secrets of Jiutian Demon Sect, but it can only be used in this tower.
Because there is a sixth layer of cover, it will not be discovered.
But once you leave the Tongtian Dao Refining Tower, the rules of heaven and earth will be triggered.
The aura of Lianxu caused the entire space on the fifth floor to distort, and cracks appeared, spreading towards the Demon Lord.
Faced with such power, the Demon Lord, who knew that no matter which choice he made, would basically lead to death, also showed his true strength.
The white mist suddenly dissipated, and a true spirit as white as jade with a snake body and dragon horns emerged. Its scales flashed with countless runes, each of which contained powerful changes in the celestial phenomena.
After a cup of tea.
Yuan Qingque stretched out his hand and pulled out a crystal-white inner elixir from the Demon Lord's body. As cold blood spilled, the Demon Lord struggled violently.
It was just a big gap in realm, which made it feel like it was back when it was a child, when its tail was crushed by a stone, and no matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't shake the feeling of powerlessness.
"I'll give you one last chance to make a choice."
Yuan Qingque held the Demon Lord's inner elixir and asked the phantom inside that was about to transform into a white dragon.
This is also the essence of Demon Lord's thousands of years of hard work. Once lost, the path of demon cultivation will basically be cut off.
"Didn't you already help me make a choice?"
The Demon Lord said this while coughing.
Yuan Qingque nodded slightly, then spit out a drop of his blood essence, which fell on the Demon Lord's inner elixir.
With the cooperation of the latter, this drop of essence and blood was quickly integrated into the core of the inner elixir, and was imprinted on the eyebrows of Bailong Xuying.
Then the essence and blood turned into a dense bloody rune, covering the whole body of Bailong Xuying and filling the inner elixir.
At this point, the contract is finalized.
Yuan Qingque nodded with satisfaction, cut open the Demon Lord's body again, and put back the inner elixir in his palm.
"Don't waste your essence and blood..."
After contracting the Demon Lord, Yuan Qingque waved to the outside of the tower, and the green mirage bottle in Yuan Zhen's storage bag immediately flew into his palm.
The mouth of the bottle was opened, and the demon lord's essence and blood spilled on the floor immediately turned into a shot of blood and sank into the bottle, and was completely absorbed.
Seeing this scene, Demon Lord remained silent.
It actually wanted to reabsorb the blood essence back into the body, but it was obvious that Yuan Qingque wanted to leave something behind for the Jiutian Demon Sect before leaving.
If the amount of this essence and blood were given to the Tao Te Sect, it would probably be enough to refine a Holy Spirit Pill.
Moreover, the blood essence of the white dragon is very compatible with the water-based skills of the Jiutian Demon Sect. It can be used to refine other elixirs and can also improve the cultivation of Yuanying monks.
"Are you interested in going to the sixth floor with me, Demon Lord?"
After throwing the green mirage bottle out of the tower and handing it to Yuan Zhen, Yuan Qingque turned to the Demon Lord and asked this sentence.
"good."
Now that the contract has been made, the Demon Lord also knows that he cannot resist Yuan Qingque and can only accept any of his orders.
Moreover, it is indeed very curious about the sixth floor of Tongtian Dao Refining Tower!
Yuan Qingque waved his hand gently, and an upward ladder suddenly appeared in the starry sky at the top of the fifth floor. He walked up the ladder first.
The Demon Lord followed closely behind.
As soon as he entered the sixth floor of the Tongtian Dao Refining Tower, the Demon Lord was shocked.
Here turned out to be a vast starry sky. He and Yuan Qingque were standing in the void. In the distance, there were star rivers rotating, like the Milky Way washing away the nine heavens.
"The thirty-seventh generation disciple of Jiutiandang Demon Sect, Yuan Qingque comes to meet the ancestor!"
Yuan Qingque saluted to the Milky Way composed of countless galaxies. Under the surprised gaze of the Demon Lord, the infinite starlight formed a Taoist figure with loose hair and bare feet, wearing a mysterious robe.
Is this the founder of Jiutian Demon?
The Demon Lord was shocked and found that the Taoist's star-shaped eyes were looking at him, and he couldn't help but lower his head.
"It's a pity that the Tianhe Realm will undergo great changes in a thousand years. If you stay in the lower realm, my orthodoxy will be more at ease."
Before Yuan Qingque could speak, the founder of Jiutiandang Demon knew that he was going to ascend, and he looked regretful.
"My disciple Ye Qing's talent is definitely not inferior to mine."
In this regard, Yuan Qingque just said this.
"I hope so, but your lifespan is almost over and you are indeed about to ascend."
While Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch was speaking, he stretched out his finger, and a round light suddenly appeared out of thin air, fell on Yuan Qingque's head, and finally merged into his Zifu Consciousness Sea.
"Before you ascend, if you still have time, help me find out something."
When Yuan Qingque heard this, he nodded respectfully: "Master, please give me your instructions."
"It is rumored that the Taixu True King, who has transcended, appeared in Lingkong Fairyland not long ago. He found a few of us and wanted to change the Tianhe Realm Avenue that was changed because of the True Demon back."
"With his realm, it must be that there is something very important to him in Tianhe Realm, and he wants to come in person."
"You can see the actions of Taixu Piaomiao Palace. If there is anything unusual, tell me after you come to Lingkong Fairyland."
"Also, let your disciples become gods as soon as possible. Without the realm of god transformation, they cannot enter the sixth floor of Tongtian Refining Dao Tower. If I have anything in the future, it will be difficult to convey it."
After the Nine Heavens Demon Patriarch finished speaking, Yuan Qingque was also surprised.
The legend of Taixu True King is well-known in Tianhe Realm.
He is one of the Holy Spirits of Creation in Tianhe Realm.
This kind of existence has transcended the fairyland with the jellyfish and reached the other side a long time ago.
Now he is back!
Could it be that there is a change on the other side?
After knowing this, Yuan Qingque also felt that he seemed to be a little anxious to ascend.
But it was too late now.
He could only hope that his disciple Ye Qing could protect the lineage of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect when the great changes in the world were coming.
At this time, the ancestor of Jiutian Dangmo had turned into starlight and dissipated in front of Yuan Qingque and Yaozun.
From beginning to end, Yaozun was only glanced at by him.
"Ancestor, sit down. There is a seventh-level Xuanwu True Spirit. If you can follow me to ascend to the Lingkong Immortal Realm, I will ask the Xuanwu Patriarch to give you a drop of blood."
Yuan Qingque turned his head and spoke to Yaozun, handing it a storage bag.
Yaozun opened it and saw a bag full of Shuiyuan Xuanshi and some tonic pills.
It knew that this was Yuan Qingque's use to restore its vitality and blood.
Facing the catastrophe of ascension, even Yuan Qingque was not completely sure.
If the demon lord recovers to his peak, at least the first two heavenly tribulations can let him take action and save his own energy.
"You can rest here. I will call you before you leave."
Yuan Qingque said. The sixth floor of the Tongtian Refining Dao Tower has a strong spiritual energy that is not like what should be in the human world.
It is the seventh-level fairy spirit.
The demon lord here, with the help of top-grade spirit stones and elixirs, can quickly recover to his prime.
"It can make you break through the practice of emptiness. It seems that the Nine Heavens Demon Sect has encountered a strong enemy outside. My cultivation is also good. Now that we have signed a contract, you can rest assured that I will not make trouble. Why not let me go out with you and help you solve the trouble first."
The demon lord thought about it and said this.
Although Yuan Qingque painted a very big pie for it, it guessed that after entering the Lingkong Immortal Realm, it would only be a little white dragon under the reins of the Nine Heavens Demon Sect, and might be used to pull a cart as a mount.
So it wanted to see if it could take advantage of the opportunity to go out and leave some tricks for escaping in the future.
"No, I can solve all the troubles with just one sword."
But Yuan Qingque shook his head and directly rejected the proposal of the Demon Lord.
He also knew very well that although the contract could make the Demon Lord bow down, it was after all the peak existence in this world, and it was possible to make some noise even under his nose.
To be on the safe side, it would be better not to let it leave the Tongtian Refining Dao Tower before ascending.
The Demon Lord also looked regretful when he heard this.
After Yuan Qingque left, it frowned.
At this time, it did not use the secret method to go to the third floor to see the Heavenly Demon Saint Embryo, so as not to be discovered.
However, even if the trick was left on the Heavenly Demon Saint Embryo, if the latter could not leave the Tongtian Refining Dao Tower, one day it would become the Dao Mark in the tower.
At that time, all its arrangements would be a joke.
But even the Demon Lord's cultivation level cannot escape from the Tongtian Refining Dao Tower, let alone it.
I only hope that one day in the future, the Jiutian Dangmo Sect will fall because of the cause and effect of this tower, and it would be best if the time is not too long...
The Demon Lord can only hope for this now.
When Yuan Qingque ascended and left, Ye Qing had not yet transformed into a god, which was the time when the Jiutian Dangmo Sect was at its weakest. It felt that if the true spirits of the demon clan royal court had brains, they would try to overturn the Tongtian Refining Dao Tower.
Because the cause and effect between this tower and the demon clan true spirits is too deep.
...
After Yuan Qingque dealt with the Demon Lord and came out of the Tongtian Refining Dao Tower, in addition to Yuan Zhen, there was another middle-aged man with a tall crown and a wide belt on Tongtian Peak.
"Greetings, Master!"
The middle-aged man was Yuan Qingque's eldest disciple and the leader of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, Ni Yuanzhong.
There are three Dao Fruits in the Jiutian Dangmo Sect.
Taihe, Jiutian, Dangmo!
Among them, the successor of the Demon-Slaying Dao Fruit is Ni Yuanzhong.
Before Ye Qing, he was highly expected by Yuan Qingque and was also believed by countless people to be the new God of Transformation of the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect. Unfortunately, he failed to reach the God of Transformation realm three hundred years ago.
But even so, Ni Yuanzhong is still the strongest person in the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect after Yuan Qingque.
"This Tongtian Peak will be handed over to you."
Yuan Qingque said to his eldest disciple Ni Yuanzhong, then waved his sleeves and disappeared with Yuan Zhen beside him.
"Disciple respectfully sends Master off!"
Although Yuan Qingque was gone, Ni Yuanzhong was still very polite and bowed in the direction he disappeared.
…
On this day, Chen Mobai was arranging the retreat of Dongwu, and suddenly received a letter from Dongtu.
This was sent by Ye Qing.
After Chen Mobai opened it and read it, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Ye Qing didn't say anything important in it, just saying that the battle between Dongtu and Dongli had reached the most critical life-and-death struggle.
He also said that the Lord of the Northern Demonic Path, the current White Bone Dharma King, had crossed the sea and the situation had reached the most critical moment.
But Ye Qing also said that the foundation of the Dongzhou Holy Land was strong, and even if the opponent had an additional White Bone Dharma King, it had enough strength to deal with it.
It's just that the Holy Land is now focused on the Demonic Path, and it is willing to give up the three border regions and even the situation of Dongyue.
So Ye Qing wrote a letter to ask Chen Mobai not to pay too much attention to the gains and losses of the Dongwu territory.
In the next most crucial battle between good and evil, I hope Chen Mobai can protect his safety under the impact of the wild sea and the monsters in the wasteland.
Ye Qing also gave a piece of advice at the end of the letter.
Even if the Five Elements Sect is destroyed, Chen Mobai must be allowed to protect himself.
Although the words were not said too clearly, Chen Mobai already understood what Ye Qing meant.
The Five Elements Sect was destroyed, and there was still a One Yuan Dao Palace in the East waiting for Chen Mobai to inherit, but if he died, then the line between him and the Nine Heavens Demon Sect might become a dead line.
However, Chen Mobai felt that Ye Qing had a deeper hidden meaning besides these.
Combining the current intelligence and the fact that the East Continent Holy Land still did not retreat in the face of the Lord of the Northern Demon Sect coming across the sea, and the movement of defending the border, Chen Mobai vaguely thought of the truth.
Could it be that Yuan Qingque wanted to practice emptiness and fight his way out of the world!
That is why Ye Qing specifically mentioned the "line" between Chen Mobai and the Nine Heavens Demon Sect.
But even if he guessed this, Chen Mobai did not dare to verify it.
For him, the most important thing at the moment is to get rid of the Wild Sea Monster Clan in front of him.
"Daozi, everything is ready."
At this time, Su Ziluo flew into the tent and told him something.
After she cultivated the Dharma Body Yuanying, she was immediately sent by Chen Mobai to check the combination of the Hunyuan Five Elements Extinction Thunder and the Dongwu Spiritual Vein.
Although in theory, this divine thunder can detonate the spiritual vein and destroy the world.
In the past, Zhou Ye, who was in the Jindan realm, scared away the White Crow Patriarch after the death of the Hunyuan Patriarch, relying on this.
But Chen Mobai has never seen the effect with his own eyes.
Even the Yiyuan Dao Palace has few opportunities to use this method.
After all, the spiritual veins in the East are all owned by someone.
If the Hunyuan Five Elements Extinction Divine Thunder wants to detonate the spirit vein, it needs to be combined with the formation to spread to the entire spirit vein.
And they certainly can't use their own Five Emperors Mountain for experiments.
As a result, Su Ziluo, the saint, has no experience in using the Hunyuan Five Elements Extinction Divine Thunder to detonate the spirit vein. However, in the history of Yiyuan Dao Palace, there have been a few such devastating actions.
When Su Ziluo was still a saint, she heard these contents from her master, the previous palace master.
So compared to Chen Mobai, she is more handy.
"How is the Wild Sea Monster Clan?"
When Chen Mobai heard that the work of Hunyuan Five Elements Extinction Divine Thunder to detonate the spirit vein was ready, he immediately called Mo Douguang and others in and asked about the situation on the front battlefield.
"The migration of the human race in the twelve counties of Dongwu was not concealed from the demons, and they should have known about it a long time ago. A few days ago, according to your wishes, I deliberately gave up the area on the east side of the Wanchuan Guihai Formation to allow a large army of the Huanghai demon tribe to invade."
"And now, the west and south sides are gradually lost because of the insufficient number of our cultivators."
"Only on the front battlefield, because Jinfengpo is guarded by you and me, as well as the army of the Five Elements Sect, are they still resisting."
"If we retreat at this time, the Huanghai demon tribe will definitely think that they relied on their powerful strength to repel us."
After Mo Douguang finished speaking, Chen Mobai nodded lightly, looked at the three-dimensional map in the tent, and marked the fallen areas in the Wanchuan Guihai Formation area in red.
In addition to the fall of the edges of the three-sided formation, there are still many red dots in various places in the formation, and the twelve counties of Dongwu are lit up. This is the Huanghai demon tribe that has invaded long ago, and there are some traces of the magic way.
Looking down from above, nearly a quarter of the entire three-dimensional map of the Wanchuan Guihai Formation has been occupied by the demons.
Chen Mobai saw this and reached out to overturn the sand table in front of him.
"It's time to notify Dongwu that the Wild Sea demons are too powerful and are ready to retreat!"
Facing the news conveyed by the Five Elements Sect, although Sun Huanglong and others looked worried, they had no way to deal with it.
After all, the strength of the Wild Sea demons was right in front of them.
After so many years of consumption by the thirteen fourth-level demon kings, there are still demon beasts coming ashore continuously, maintaining a million low- and middle-level demon beasts.
If the Five Elements Sect had not taken action, the major families of Dongwu would definitely collapse at the first touch and turn around and run away when facing such a large scale of demon beasts.
They also understood that the Five Elements Sect had done its best to be able to hold on until now.
"On behalf of the Dongwu Xiuxian world, Sun would like to thank your sect for its protection over the past ten years. The Dongwu people will never forget your great kindness."
When retreating, Sun Huanglong led the representatives of several major families in Dongwu and came to Chen Mobai's tent to express his gratitude.
"I hope that when this war is over, you will not blame me."
Chen Mobai said this with a guilty conscience.
In response, Sun Huanglong and his friends shook their heads, saying that they would only be grateful to the Five Elements Sect in this life and would not have any resentment.
"In the Dongwu Xiuxian world, anyone who dares to complain about the Five Elements Sect is worse than pigs and dogs."
The Jin family's Jindan ancestor said this directly, and the ancestors of other Dongwu families beside him all nodded in agreement.
The Five Elements Sect can completely rely on the formation and shrink in the East Wilderness, but it still leads the sect's elite, and even two Yuanying ancestors to come in person to protect Dongwu.
And it has been guarding for ten years.
This kind of kindness is almost reborn.
In the eyes of the Dongwu Immortal Cultivation World, the Five Elements Sect is more like a holy place than those holy places in the East.
"Everyone, I have arranged for the disciples to receive you on your way to the East Wilderness. Leave the matter of cutting off the rear to me."
Chen Mobai, feeling guilty, personally went out of the tent and sent Sun Huanglong and others to the flying boat of the Five Elements Sect.
Now, if people outside the East Wilderness want to enter, only the flying boat of the Five Elements Sect can do so. The treasure ship of Dongwu can only stop at Yunmengze to transport its own disciples.
However, Jindan cultivators like Sun Huanglong all have houses in the East Wilderness, so Chen Mobai specially sent a flying boat to pick them up.
In mid-air, Sun Huanglong and others saw Chen Mobai standing on the top of the mountain and watching them leave, and they couldn't help but feel more moved.
"Wait until they leave the territory of Dongwu and reach the surface of Yunmengze, and then start to detonate."
After the flying boat disappeared, Chen Mobai said to Su Ziluo beside him.
This was also his last mercy.
