Chapter 460 Half Demon Fetus
However, even with Xiao Yan, two fists could not defeat four hands. The number of demon generals occupied an absolute advantage. Xiao Yan alone could not save the situation.
Accompanied by a deafening roar, the formation had an inevitable cracking sound, and a big hole was inevitably broken on the Cangyun Zhongxing formation.
The venerables were not panicked. After all, it was expected that the Cangyun Zhongxing formation was not a perfect plan. Now that the palace master had been held by the demon leader, everything depended on themselves.
Therefore, they had to overcome all the difficulties themselves.
No one was needed to give orders. After joining the Tianjian Palace, they had practiced countless times in countless years. The Dou Zong who had imprinted all the developments in his mind rushed forward and aimed his strongest killing move at the gap in the Cangyun Zhongxing formation. As long as anyone dared to show up, they would naturally be treated well by them.
"Hmph, you're resisting stubbornly!"
Seeing that even though the Cangyun Zhongxing formation was broken, those Dou Zongs were fighting to the death, a demon general attacked brazenly, ready to kill them all.
But since there was a demon general attacking, there was naturally a venerable who wanted to protect him. A golden light came and forced the demon general to block his power accumulation, which frightened him to the point of wanting to split his blood.
"You're looking for death!"
Outside Tianjian Mountain, there was a bloody storm.
Yao Wan went to Tianjian Hall alone. Regarding the demon fetus that they didn't mention much, she still had something to confirm.
But when she entered Tianjian Hall, she felt a different breath from when she first entered Tianjian Hall.
That is...
Yao Wan did not doubt him and continued to walk deeper into the Heavenly Sword Hall. When she crossed the main hall and came to Yun Potian's extremely simple bedroom, Yao Wan saw the crystal with the function of recording images that was casually placed on the table by the original owner without even using the power of the soul to search subconsciously.
There is no doubt that it was something left by Yun Potian, and it was obviously not something that was left unintentionally, but was intentional.
Yao Wan silently picked it up and injected her own fighting spirit into it. The figure of Yun Potian sitting on the futon was projected by the crystal.
"If this crystal is used, it probably means that it has really developed to this point."
Yao Wan looked at the phantom sitting on the futon and frowned slightly. It was obvious that Yun Potian might have already anticipated everything that would happen at the moment, and even left a corresponding answer for this, right?
Yao Wan had a doubt in her heart, but she also knew that a dead object like the crystal of recording images probably couldn't ask and answer questions with a living person like her.
So she quietly waited for Yun Potian to answer.
"When you activate this thing, I will be able to come back, but I am afraid that I will be exhausted. Therefore, when it comes to the demon fetus, I may still need you to clean up the mess, Yao Wan."
The slender jade fingers holding the crystal suddenly tightened a little. How could he know that it was him? How could Yun Potian be sure that he would come here? And not someone else?
Following Yao Wan's momentary confusion, Yun Potian explained.
"In fact, this is not that difficult to guess. The venerables and Xiao Yan need to deal with the demons, and Xiao Yan will definitely not allow you to take risks. It is inevitable that you will come to the Heavenly Sword Hall. I regard it as our destiny, but I think you probably won't agree with me."
For this point, Yao Wan couldn't refute it. She and Yun Potian didn't get along. This was a consensus reached after the first conversation between the two.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Follow me."
The figure of Yun Potian on the mat swayed for a moment, then he stood up from the mat and led Yao Wan to a place deeper than this simple residence.
Yao Wan followed with the crystal that kept the image.
"My battle with the Demon Chief cannot help you. At most, I can only prevent him from coming back alive and making things worse for you. In addition, the purpose of the Soul Devouring Clan's invasion of Tianjian Mountain is to make the Demon Fetus complete again."
"The Demon Fetus is an even older existence than the third Forgotten Ruins. Perhaps it already existed during the first and second times."
"Its essence is probably a means of resurrection left behind by a very important key figure in the Soul Devouring Clan."
The shadow of Yun Potian led Yao Wan into a deep tunnel, going down in a spiral shape until a huge hole appeared. With the hole as the center, the silver-gray sword formation released a sword intent that was even more powerful than the Cangyun Zhongxing formation in the outside world, suppressing the evil existence sealed here all the time.
Yao Wan couldn't help but turn her head to look at the center of the formation. Under the sight that was distorted by the sword energy and no longer real, there was a dark purple light moving in it, or in other words, this was the movement of the Demon Fetus.
The two men approached the sword formation and finally got close to the core of the seal. A twisted mass of flesh, about the size of a football, was wriggling all the time, but its original activity was cut off again and again because of the existence of the sword formation. However, it kept wriggling and growing tirelessly, one side killing and the other side proliferating, maintaining such a strange balance.
She could even imagine that in the past thousand years, since Yun Potian split the demon fetus into two in the Demon Heart Hall, and since he sealed this half of the demon fetus with countless sword intent, the rise and fall between the two has lasted for more than a thousand years.
"Although I sealed the demon fetus to ensure that the Demon Chief could not continue to use this part of the demon fetus to do anything bad, it also ensured that the demon fetus was no longer complete, and that no more powerful soul-devouring tribe than the Demon Chief would be born again after a long time."
Yun Potian crossed his arms and looked at the sword formation that repeatedly proliferated and killed the demon fetus in it, which had lasted for a thousand years without changing, and frowned slightly.
"But if I'm gone, this sword formation may not be able to hold on for too long."
"So-"
"So you're counting on me?"
Yao Wan knew that Yun Potian would not give any response because of her answer, but she still couldn't help but murmur.
"I have heard from Hall Master Han and Elder Tianhuo that you have a special fire that is close to death in nature, which may be able to eliminate future troubles."
"My sword intent can seal and suppress it, but it is difficult to kill it. After thousands of years of growth and decline, it has not wiped out the vitality of the demon fetus. If I die, this sword formation will only last a hundred years at most. But if the Tianjian Palace is destroyed, it will be meaningless to continue to seal the demon fetus."
"So, I hope you can try."
Yun Potian let out a long breath and said, "I know this is not easy for my current cultivation, but it is also a helpless move. It has nothing to do with justice or not, and it is all up to you."
"Hmph, that sounds good."
Yao Wan shook her head, but although she was unhappy, she didn't bring out any great principles to pressure others.
As for not helping, Yao Wan herself knew it was impossible. Apart from anything else, Xiao Yan was still fighting outside, how could she abandon him? Yao Wan didn't care about other things, but how could she not care about Xiao Yan.
"I can't hear your answer, but I hope you agree. If you agree, use your strange fire to throw in from the southeast, and the sword formation will protect you."
Yao Wan heard this and silently sacrificed the Ash Destruction Flame in her body.
Yun Potian slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and said, "Besides, it's hard to say whether the Devouring Soul Clan has a backup plan left by the Demon Chief."
A black lotus quietly bloomed at Yao Wan's fingertips. When she released the Ash Destruction Flame, she could clearly feel that the demon fetus sealed by the sword formation gave off a particularly fearful feeling.
Not surprisingly, even the demon fetus that Yun Potian couldn't do anything about was still afraid of the end of all things in the world.
"After all the twists and turns, has it finally come to this point...?"
Yao Wan sighed, but didn't slow down her movements.
She had a hunch that the demon fetus in front of her was definitely not a good thing, and after it was solved, everything would come to an end, but it was really hard to say what the Ruins of Oblivion would become by then.
Black flames flowed into the sword formation from the southeast of the sealed sword formation, facing the strange and terrifying demon fetus. However, just as Yao Wan was about to take action, she actually felt a trace of thoughts from the demon fetus.
That was not a wavelength that humans could understand, but it could probably be understood as a meaning similar to surrender and begging for mercy. Not only that, the demon fetus was even willing to be marked with a soul mark and submit to her.
Unfortunately, Yao Wan felt that she did not need to rely on the power of the Soul Devouring Clan. A terrifying existence that could not be suppressed by a Nine-Turn Dou Zun, Yao Wan knew that she would definitely not be able to suppress this thing even if she was not clear-headed.
"The reward is generous, but it's a pity that I don't want it. It's better for a scourge like you to die honestly."
Yao Wan did not hesitate, and her mind controlled the black flames and completely immersed it in the black flames.
Although she didn't care about too many things and people, she at least had a normal sense of right and wrong. She couldn't let this scourge run rampant after no one controlled it.
However, at this moment, Yao Wan felt an extremely terrifying aura suddenly locked onto her outside the Heavenly Sword Hall.
The sticky invisible pressure almost froze her in place. She only felt the vibration from her feet quickly spread to the top of her head, and then something collapsed.
"Boom boom boom!"
A violent roar exploded above Yao Wan's head, and an extremely unusual demonic shadow tore the entire Heavenly Sword Hall apart, piercing through the Heavenly Sword Hall and rushing towards Yao Wan's vitals.
But someone was faster.
Xiao Yan followed closely behind, and then kicked the demonic shadow against the wall, knocking it to the ground.
