Chapter 1678 Controversy Leads to Cut-Off Path and Hidden Spiritual Object
Hear this!
The Demon Lord of the Underworld Sea slowly swept his deep, abyss-like eyes over the faces before him!
Each one of them was once a powerful and influential deity who looked down upon a region!
At this moment, the faces of these old monsters were all etched with solemnity, doubt, and even barely concealed anxiety.
Seeing this, His gaze was complex and unfathomable, as if bearing the vicissitudes of ten thousand years, mixed with a deep sense of helplessness.
The sudden outpouring of emotion from the Demon Lord of the Underworld...
This left even seasoned Nascent Soul cultivators bewildered, their exchanged glances filled with incomprehension.
No one knew about this sudden and inexplicable change in the Demon Lord of the Underworld...
What exactly is the cause?
In an instant, many Nascent Soul stage monsters became even more curious, and all their gazes turned towards them.
Faced with this silent interrogation...
The Demon Lord of the Underworld did not respond immediately.
He took a deep breath, suppressing his turbulent emotions, and asked a seemingly unrelated question in a low but clear voice.
"Fellow Daoists, you should remember that ancient teleportation array that connects to the 'Endless Sea', right?"
These words, once spoken, were like a pebble thrown into a lake, creating ripples.
Immediately, an experienced veteran instinctively chimed in:
"Of course I remember!"
If I remember correctly, this array is the only remaining ancient cross-sea teleportation array between the two races, and it has always been personally controlled by you, Brother Dao..."
He was halfway through his sentence when
He seemed to suddenly grasp the hidden meaning in the words of the Underworld Demon Lord, and his face turned extremely ugly in an instant, as if all the blood had been drained from him.
And which of the Nascent Soul stage monsters present wasn't a person who had experienced countless tribulations and possessed a clear mind?
Definitely not a fool!
Needless to say, the subtext of the Underworld Demon Lord is already obvious.
An ominous premonition quickly spread among the group of Nascent Soul stage monsters.
"Brother Minghai!" The ever-impatient Demon Lord Xiaocheng suddenly stepped forward, his voice filled with undisguised urgency and surprise, and hurriedly asked:
"Could it be...could it be that something has gone wrong with the teleportation array on the stone island?"
Although his tone was questioning, his certainty and anxiety were palpable.
Almost simultaneously, the eyes of the other old monsters also suddenly sharpened, their expressions a mixture of worry and vigilance, like a dam about to face a raging torrent.
Facing the gazes cast upon him by the assembled monsters, the Demon Lord of the Underworld Sea nodded solemnly, no longer concealing anything:
"That ancient teleportation array was previously guarded by me personally."
To guard against unforeseen circumstances, an extremely subtle mark was condensed at the core of the teleportation array using a supreme secret technique.
Throughout the entire world, apart from the true self, no one should be able to easily perceive its existence.
His words paused at that moment, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.
The Demon Lord of the Underworld closed his eyes, seemingly sensing something.
A moment later, it opened again!
The last glimmer of hope in his eyes vanished completely.
"Just now... the mark I imprinted on my core... disappeared!"
"Could it be..."
An old monster gasped softly, his voice trembling slightly.
“That’s right!” The voice of the Demon Lord of the Underworld Sea was resolute, carrying an almost desperate affirmation.
"This must be the old monster from the Purgatory Clan personally making a move!"
"Besides, even the likes of the Great God Envoy and High Priest of the Purgatory Clan could not erase my mark silently in such a short time."
His words were filled with a profound sense of powerlessness.
That was a clear-headed understanding when faced with overwhelming power.
A way out...
It's completely cut off!
Meanwhile, the other Nascent Soul stage monsters seemed to have thought of something.
My sense of crisis surged.
Before the other old monsters could ask, Xiao Cheng, the demon lord who was always quick to speak, immediately voiced his concerns.
"Brother Minghai Dao!
"Then...is it possible for the old monster to trace our current location back through the mark you left behind?"
Upon hearing this, the Demon Lord of the Underworld frowned slightly.
He was clearly somewhat displeased by the urgency of this almost interrogative question, but still calmly gave his response:
"Please do not panic."
This mark was specially condensed by me, containing the law of spatial annihilation, and has the wonderful function of directional tracking.
Once forcibly erased or disturbed, it will simply disintegrate into its most primitive form of void turbulence, utterly incapable of possessing any positioning capabilities.
As He spoke, His tone carried an unquestionable certainty.
Upon hearing this, the tense nerves of the group of Nascent Soul stage monsters relaxed slightly.
They knew the Dark Sea Demon Lord's character and strength well. If there was indeed a possibility of planting a tracking backdoor, given his cautious nature...
They've probably already fled thousands of miles away.
They will never stay here to discuss matters with them.
They generally believed what the Demon Lord of the Underworld said.
This trust, based on common sense, temporarily suppressed the unease in the hearts of the Nascent Soul stage monsters present.
At this moment, Venerable Zongbao raised his head, revealing an aged face, and his steady and powerful voice suppressed the commotion that had just begun:
"Fellow Daoists, fellow Daoists!"
The teleportation array was destroyed, and the escape route was cut off. This was already one of the worst-case scenarios we had previously predicted!
Activating that ancient formation would take several breaths, but with the Purgatory Clan pressing us relentlessly, we simply don't have time to activate it. Abandoning it is the only option!
Her gaze sharpened as she surveyed the entire room, and she continued:
"As for whether the Purgatory Clan will use the teleportation array to invade the Endless Sea?"
Fellow Daoists, there is no need to worry too much!
That ancient formation originated in ancient times, and its core restrictions were set long ago.
It is neither the bloodline of our two races nor a specific token...
It is impossible to activate the teleportation ability.
The arrival of alien races will only trigger spatial storms.
The Venerable Zongbao's tone shifted, becoming extremely solemn:
"The most urgent task is to discuss how to deal with the impending relentless pursuit that is like a leech!"
This is the real sword hanging over our heads!
The strategy of 'escaping into the Thunder Abyss and fighting to the death' proposed by the Demon Lord Xuanba does have its merits, but—"
He then changed the subject, revealing a clear inclination.
"--That can only be a last resort, a desperate measure to destroy everything!"
Using it now would be tantamount to cutting off all other avenues!
After all, whether it's success or failure?
Or failure?
We will also have no chance to return.
And this is tantamount to completely handing over this realm to the Purgatory Clan!
These words were immediately echoed by some of the more seasoned veterans:
Brother Zongbao is absolutely right!
"Escape into the Thunder Abyss and fight to the death—this is truly a last resort, a desperate measure!"
"Exactly!
This is a dead end with no way out!
"..."
however!
The faces of Xuanba Demon Lord and several other demon lords who were close to him and had violent tempers immediately turned ashen.
It looks like it could drip ink!
Immediately, a demon lord clad in crimson scales and exuding a violent aura stepped forward, his body wreathed in demonic flames, and retorted sharply without any politeness:
"Humph!
That's easy for you to say!
Easier said than done!
Fellow Daoist Zongbao, if you have any brilliant plan that can reach the heavens and earth and repel that person, why don't you tell us quickly?
If you have no good solution, then shut your mouth!
Don't waste time on empty talk!
"Wait until you devise a foolproof plan before you interfere with my friend's suggestion!"
"you···"
The human cultivators who supported Zong Bao also glared angrily, their bodies radiating powerful energy, instantly creating a tense atmosphere!
"···"
"enough!"
A low roar, brimming with terrifying pressure, suddenly exploded!
It was like a thunderclap from the heavens exploding in one's soul!
This caused both sides in the dispute to freeze in place.
The highly respected Island-Moving Venerable, who had remained silent and observing all along, had his hair and beard bristling, his eyes gleaming with divine light, and he angrily rebuked:
"With a formidable enemy at hand, annihilation is imminent!"
Are we still arguing about this pointless debate?
It's a waste of energy and this last chance to catch your breath!
The most urgent task is to work together!
It's about brainstorming! Not internal strife!
These words seemed to touch on the core of the current problem, and the room immediately fell silent.
They both snorted coldly, their eyes still filled with resentment, but they temporarily suppressed their anger and turned their gazes elsewhere.
Followed by.
The gazes of all the old monsters present, filled with their last hope and heavy pressure, once again focused on the three mid-stage Nascent Soul experts present—
The Island-Moving Venerable!
The Demon Lord of the Underworld!
And then there's the ever-mysterious Peach Blossom Venerable.
after all!
The astonishing methods they had previously displayed far surpassed those of cultivators of the same level.
At this moment, it naturally became everyone's last straw.
Perhaps? These three unfathomable beings still harbor trump cards that could turn the tide of battle?
therefore!
They immediately placed all their hopes on these three.
Seeing this, the Demon Lord of the Underworld, on whom everyone had placed high hopes, shook his head slightly with a bitter expression, shattering those hopes:
"You have all seen my greatest reliance—that true dragon soul."
pity……"
After a heavy sigh, He continued:
"The traces of our ancestors have now vanished."
If we can find him, with his supreme dragon might we might be able to put up a fight against that old monster.
Aside from that, my remaining petty tricks are utterly futile against such beings, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot—merely a laughingstock!
"Brother Dao!" the still persistent old monster asked urgently.
"Is there really no way to contact the noble elders?"
"yes!
Given their aristocratic background, is there really no way to communicate with them?
"···"
Hear this!
A barely perceptible trace of sadness flashed in the eyes of the Demon Lord of the Underworld Sea as he explained:
"If the physical bodies of our ancestors still exist, we, their descendants, can sense their location through secret methods."
But as you all know, our ancestor now only has a wisp of his dragon soul left in the world.
Such a method of resonance, which relies on the physical body and bloodline, is naturally ineffective.
Now I yearn to find a rootless soul within this vast, seemingly endless forbidden sea…
But that's easier said than done!
"···"
Just as these Nascent Soul stage monsters, standing at the pinnacle of this realm, were racking their brains and arguing endlessly about the slim chance of survival...
the other side.
Secret Realm, Peace City!
In a quiet room in a small courtyard deep in the city.
The room was filled with mist and a vibrant atmosphere.
Cheng Buzheng, with his handsome face, sat cross-legged on the cloud bed, his smile so bright it almost overflowed.
His eyes, as bright as a galaxy, were now gleaming with undisguised excitement...
He was staring intently at the several treasures floating in the air before him.
A piece of crimson, like a molten lava crystal, with flame-like runes flowing across its surface, radiating an aura of scorching laws that could burn across the entire world;
A crystal-clear, diamond-shaped ice crystal, the size of a fingernail, condenses its coldness without dissipating, as if freezing the surrounding space and time.
A section of charred, lightning-struck wood, seemingly withered but actually brimming with vitality, has tiny purple electric snakes leaping and hissing across its surface.
A constantly changing shape, liquid-like metallic sphere, its solidity and sharpness piercing through the void;
There was also a strange gem that emitted a misty purple aura and seemed to contain a galaxy in motion...
Even with Cheng Buzheng's resolute mind, he couldn't help but feel his heart surge with emotion at this moment, and secretly sighed:
"I am truly a genius!"
This move of "using one tiger to devour another, and fishing in troubled waters" is brilliant!
He gained such immense wealth simply by using an avatar to stir up the winds and clouds!
value!
It was totally worth it!
Thinking of how those two top-tier monsters from different races risked their lives, only to have the lion's share of the spoils end up in their own pockets...
He couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
Followed by.
With another wave of his sleeve, more than a dozen spiritual objects, each shimmering with different laws and possessing even more wondrous forms, appeared one after another!
Fire, Water, Metal, Wood, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Ice... the Five Elements and Three Wonders, all attributes are complete!
Crimson essence of fire surrounded the azure Xuanming heavy water.
Beside the sharp, angular metal (Geng metal) lies the warm, moist wood (Qing marrow)...
The spiritual light of various attributes of the laws shone brightly, illuminating the entire quiet room like a dreamlike fairyland, with the powerful fluctuations of the laws almost overflowing!
Not bad!
These magical artifacts based on laws were the treasures he had tricked from the ancestor of the Purgatory Clan while posing as a member of the Nightmare Clan.
next moment.
A burst of wild, joyful laughter erupted from the quiet room.
"Hehe...hahaha..."
Hearty laughter echoed throughout the quiet room.
Cheng Buzheng looked left and right, touching each of the spiritual objects imbued with the laws of nature with his fingertips, feeling the supreme power they contained.
Like a miser counting a mountain of priceless treasures, his eyes are filled with ecstasy and satisfaction.
He also seems to be a complete money-grubber.
This achievement far exceeded expectations!
for a long time.
With a reluctant wave of his hand, he stored this abundant treasure, enough to shake the entire cultivation world, deep within the Qiankun Ring.
The thumb ring felt warm to the touch, and his heart was burning with passion.
"This harvest..."
Even if that Dharma body in the Forbidden Sea gains nothing more, it is still worth thousands of years of arduous cultivation and searching!
This trip... has been a complete success!
Even Lian Chengbuzheng, a strongman known for his composure and coldness, who never showed his emotions, revealed a hint of excitement.
It even reached the point where he couldn't control his emotions...
It's also because the spiritual objects of the laws are simply too precious.
It could even be said that every kind of spiritual object based on a law is a treasure of the world.
Even an ordinary Nascent Soul stage expert would be overjoyed to obtain a Law-based spiritual item!
Not to mention there are more than a dozen Law-based spiritual objects!
It's understandable that they would show their emotions.
After a while...
Cheng Buzheng finally calmed down from his excited and ecstatic emotions!
He stroked the Qiankun thumb ring, seemingly lost in thought, and a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.
"Wanwan has now broken through to the Half-Saint realm!"
These spiritual objects of the laws have arrived at just the right time.
Cheng Buzheng muttered to himself softly.
Especially when he thought of the more than ten kinds of spiritual objects containing laws within the Qiankun Ring…
That crimson [Phoenix Flame Crystal Soul], as red as molten lava!
