Chapter 2429 Killing God
"What is the General's Tomb?"
Qin Sang learned so many new and interesting things from Qingyuan that she felt her knowledge was insufficient.
Is the General's Tomb, like the Landscape Painting, an acquired spiritual treasure, or is it the tomb of a certain general?
"The General's Tomb is also an acquired spiritual treasure. The owner of this treasure was a famous general under the Jade Emperor, named Bai Qi, also known as the God of Slaughter! He once led a large army to fight against the Demon Court with the Jade Emperor and made unparalleled military achievements. There is still a General's Mansion in Baiyujing. After the Demon Calamity, the God of Slaughter disappeared without a trace. So he was here back then..." Qingyuan said, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes, then he laughed loudly, "Those guys from the Demon Court... haha... so that's how it is! They actually regarded the General's Tomb as that treasure."
Qingyuan's expression immediately relaxed a bit.
The appearance of the General's Tomb attracted all the demon cultivators, who mistook it for the Landscape Map, which undoubtedly reduced the pressure on their side.
"The General's Tomb is also a treasure of the human race. In this way, won't it fall into the hands of the demon race?" Qin Sang couldn't see anything and didn't know what had happened in the Arctic Ice Plains or what the current battle situation was.
General's Tomb... General's Tomb...
He kept repeating those three words in his mind, recalling what he had seen and heard on the Arctic ice sheet: tombs, skeletons, the Arctic ice sheet, bone hands...
Could that bone hand be related to the general's tomb?
Qingyuan seemed to be listening intently to something, and chuckled upon hearing this, "The General's Tomb is not a map of the land; it is a crucial military artifact, not so easily subdued. Moreover... Dragon Island and Phoenix Pavilion should be arriving soon!"
……
"That thing is about to come out!"
A low shout rang out amidst the wind and snow, and the expressions of all the demon saints became extremely solemn.
"Yinglian!"
Upon hearing the shout, two colorful lotuses appeared in Yinglian Demon Saint's pupils. As the lotuses spun, a stream of light burst forth from her body.
It is dazzling and colorful.
Where the light shines, lotus flowers spring forth from the ground, displaying thousands of auspicious rays.
Icebergs and snowfields are covered with blooming lotus flowers, which are everywhere. Even the void and the sky above the clouds have become a sea of lotus flowers. Some lotus flowers take root in the eddies of ice and snow. The eddies swallow these lotus flowers, and immediately more lotus flowers bloom.
Lotus flowers were everywhere, both in the heavens and on the earth, surrounding all the demon saints, and the icy plains seemed to have become a lotus world.
This sea of lotus flowers is the Lotus Shrine Dharma Domain of the Great Sage Yinglian!
Within the lotus flower's stamen sat a golden lotus maiden. Each lotus flower had its own golden body, and the lotus maiden's appearance was exactly the same as that of the Great Sage Yinglian, but their expressions varied, displaying a wide range of emotions.
Then came the sound of chanting, all in the voice of the Great Sage Yinglian, but each voice contained different emotions, a mixture of thousands of tones, comparable to a demonic indoctrination.
The lotus flowers swayed in the chanting, and the surrounding wind and snow seemed to lessen somewhat.
Just then, a dark shadow rushed out of the lotus sea, and a huge eagle appeared in the sky above the icy vortex.
With eyes as sharp as lightning, his piercing gaze shot towards the center of the vortex, and he let out a cold snort, "I'd like to see what you really are!"
'Shuh! '
Before he finished speaking, Eagle Eyes transformed into Golden Eyes, shooting out two golden beams of light that were almost tangible, shooting towards the icy vortex like sharp arrows.
……
north.
In a deep abyss.
This place is eerie and terrifying, filled with a dense aura of true demonic energy, within which ghostly figures dart about.
Deep within the abyss lies a throne of black iron, upon which sits a shadow. Upon closer inspection, it is revealed to be a head with a demonic face, devoid of a body, consisting only of a solitary head.
The demon's face was terrifying; it was the same demon that the Great Sage Ghostly Hideout had once seen, its empty eye sockets staring south.
A group of demons knelt before the throne.
The demonic face stared at the south for a long time, then suddenly opened its mouth and made a strange sound. After that, all the demons retreated into the darkness and left the abyss.
The abyss fell into a deathly silence.
"Humph!"
The demonic energy's snort was filled with anger. Just now, it had lost its connection with all the Yin Demons, which meant that they had all been killed by those Demon Saints. This meant that its forces here had been completely wiped out.
Since the Demon Realm's crushing defeat, this realm has become the Demon Realm. The remnants of the Demon Realm are in dire straits, barely surviving in the desolate Arctic ice plains. He started almost from scratch, which was truly remarkable. In truth, the deaths of many Yin Demons are insignificant; what the Demon Face cares about is what those Demon Saints discovered in the Arctic ice plains!
The demon face was somewhat uneasy. Could it be that his calculations were wrong, and that the treasure was not in the Lotus Crossing Swamp, but here?
Am I really going to just stand by and watch that treasure fall into the hands of the demon race?
The demons and monsters of this realm are mortal enemies. This conflict is not only a continuation of the war between the two realms, but also a means for both the spirit realm and the demon realm to vie for control of the seal.
The boundary did not collapse instantly.
Whoever controls this realm will control this fissure in the earth membrane and gain the upper hand in the upcoming war between the two realms.
But now he could only watch helplessly. Apart from the Great Sage Ghostly Hideout, all his henchmen had been severed. The boundary wall had not yet collapsed, the seal had only loosened, and the true body could not enter. Even with thousands of troops under his command, he was powerless to stop it.
"Ghost...hides..."
The demon face uttered the name of the Great Sage Ghostly Hidden in a hoarse voice.
After discovering that the demon saints who entered the Arctic ice plains were all henchmen of the spirit realm, the demon face became even more doubtful of his judgment. If that supreme treasure fell into the hands of the spirit realm, all his plans would be in vain, and he could only obediently wait for the day the boundary wall collapsed.
But what if the spirit world is wrong?
The clues left behind by the Great Sage of Repentance clearly all point to the Lotus Crossing Swamp...
The Demon Face kept trying to contact the Ghostly Great Sage using secret techniques, but it was like throwing a stone into the sea. The Ghostly Great Sage's whereabouts were unknown. Surely he could have at least a response time. Could it be that the Ghostly Great Sage had already found a clue...?
Thinking of this, the demonic face let out a few sinister laughs. Although he couldn't snatch food from the tiger's mouth, he could still cause some trouble for the other party.
……
"Show yourself now!"
The eagle roared in anger.
Two beams of golden light pierced through layers of ice and snow.
At this moment, the Great Sage Yinglian couldn't help but shift his gaze and look towards the eagle.
What exactly is inside the icy vortex? What kind of treasure is it that can support the boundary wall and the seal, becoming the foundation of a realm? This is the question that all the demon saints have.
They didn't even know who the 'immortal' was.
"Fellow Daoist Mu, it's come to this point, haven't you thought of anything yet?"
The demon saint with the aged voice was a thin old man. When the other demon saints transformed into human form, they were no different from real humans, and it was impossible to tell from their appearance that they were demon cultivators.
He was different; he had a long tail trailing behind him, a hunched back, and a full head of white hair, making him look like an old monkey at first glance.
This demon saint, whose Buddhist name is Great Saint of Stealing Elixir, is said to have stolen the essence of the sun and moon, and the elixir of heaven and earth.
The Great Sage Who Stole the Elixir had an aged appearance, but his eyes were bright and piercing as he asked a question to the void.
Those immortals couldn't possibly reveal all the secrets to the cultivators of this realm; they were well aware of it, and both sides had kept it tacitly understood. But at this crucial juncture, continuing to conceal things would be somewhat reckless.
The Fellow Daoist Mu sighed, “Some things are indeed inconvenient to say, but regarding this matter, I assure you, there is not a single falsehood. We call ourselves the Demon Court, but in reality, we have little to do with the ancient Demon Court. Many secrets of the ancient times have been buried in the long river of history along with the ancient Demon Court. In fact, when the various races declined and the Dragon and Phoenix races became dominant, they seized many of the Demon Court's legacies…”
Even the 'Immortal' didn't know the details of that treasure!
The Great Sage of Pill Stealing's eyes flickered as he listened to Fellow Daoist Mu continue, "Rest assured, everyone. All the other fellow Daoists are in position. As soon as we determine the location of this realm, we will be able to descend upon it immediately!"
……
The North Pole of the Spirit Realm.
It was already nightfall.
As darkness fell, the moon was high in the sky, its bright light spilling across the sea where icebergs floated. Through the moonlight, only a few blurry stars could be seen.
Just then, a star suddenly appeared next to the full moon, its light growing brighter and brighter, almost rivaling the moon's brilliance.
Then a second star lit up, followed by a third, a fourth...
The stars were bright and dim, but each one was brighter than the previous ones, and they seemed to be not far from the ground.
A strange sight appeared in the sky, as if two star systems were overlapping each other. The stars below were brighter but very sparse, and they were moving. The starlight in the water slowly drifted northward and finally arrived at the banks of the Nie River.
All the stars shone together on this place, and the sea shimmered. The starlight paused for a moment before slowly flowing into the River of Sin.
……
In the Arctic ice field, the Great Sage Who Stole Pills was still talking to that Fellow Daoist Mu when his expression suddenly changed, and then a muffled groan was heard.
'Snapped! '
The eagle must have seen something deep within the icy vortex; the two golden lights shattered into pieces like icicles.
'boom! '
The eagle's two eyeballs exploded in their sockets, sending golden fragments flying, startling all the demon saints.
'call! '
The golden fragments instantly returned to its eye sockets, turning back into two eyeballs. Then, the eagle's body trembled, its face filled with shock, and it hurriedly flew backward.
"Brother Cang..."
Just as Yinglian Dasheng was about to ask what the other party had seen, he suddenly sensed something unusual.
Within the swirling ice and snow, a sinister aura faintly emanated, along with... a murderous intent!
This killing intent was extremely faint, yet it made Yinglian Great Sage freeze. The killing intent seemed to seep into her very bones, and even with her cultivation level, she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.
"What kind of treasure is this that possesses such terrifying killing intent!"
Yinglian Dasheng was shocked. Then he saw that a black mist was rising from the originally pale vortex, turning the ice and snow black.
This black aura was extremely pure, without a trace of any other color.
"careful!"
The shout of the Great Sage Who Stole the Elixir startled the Great Sage Yinglian.
Suddenly, the swirling ice and snow stopped abruptly. Yinglian Dasheng felt an invisible shock spreading out along with the black energy, impacting his lotus shrine domain.
Those lotus flowers that were close to the icy vortex were visibly dyed black, turning into black lotuses. The golden lotus maidens on the lotus flowers all showed expressions of struggle, but were eventually swallowed up by the blackness and became unrecognizable.
The next moment, the black lotuses withered one after another, and the once vibrant lotus niche domain was now filled with withered lotuses, as if a deathly aura was spreading.
The Great Sage Yinglian's expression changed drastically. The Lotus Shrine Domain was unable to dispel the black energy. Fortunately, the Great Sage Stealing Pills intervened in time.
'Whoosh! '
A beam of blue light shot into the sky, revealing a wooden staff in the air.
A vine is wrapped around the surface of the wooden staff, with a protruding top carved into a furry, clenched fist.
The wooden staff split into eight, and the flickering shadows of the staff caused the void to tremble.
'Shuh! '
Eight staff shadows shot out in eight directions, like heavy punches striking in all directions, descending from the sky and falling into the lotus sea.
Compared to the boundless sea of lotuses and the swirling ice and snow, the staff shadows were inconspicuous, like eight thin needles. But when the eight staff shadows fell, they seemed to be pillars supporting the heavens and earth.
At the same time, other demon saints also took action to help Yinglian Great Saint stabilize her domain and suppress the black energy.
Unexpectedly, a sudden change occurred. A phantom quietly appeared at the edge of the Lotus Shrine Domain. This phantom was unusually tall and had a strange appearance. It looked like it had a human torso and legs, but it had thousands of arms. The arms were like the tentacles of an octopus, flailing wildly. It was simply a monster.
"puff!"
The tentacles forcefully plunged into the lotus niche's domain, tearing countless lotus flowers into pieces.
"The devil is looking for death!"
The demon saints roared angrily.
The phantom chuckled eerily, offering no resistance to the attacks of the demon saints. It channeled all its power into its arms, causing all of them to explode simultaneously.
"boom!"
A terrifying explosion occurred inside the Lotus Shrine Domain. Demonic energy surged like a tide, and raging waves swept across the lotus sea. The demon's self-destruction occurred almost simultaneously with the impact of the black energy. The Lotus Shrine Domain was attacked from both sides and was forcibly torn open.
In an instant, the aura here was finally revealed!
This demon didn't hesitate to self-destruct, disrupting their plans, clearly intending to lure the other demon saints over and watch them fight it out!
Although the demon saints were furious, they did not lose their composure. They were well aware of the demon lord's scheme. Although it was exposed earlier than expected, they had already begun to make arrangements. The demon saints had all been lured to the Lotus Crossing Swamp by the Xuanwu Sacred Palace. As long as they could subdue this treasure before the other party arrived, they would be fine!
"Formation!"
The Great Sage Who Stole Pills scanned the area with his divine sense, confirmed that there were no other demons around, and decisively gave the order.
As the Great Sage Yinglian changed his hand seals, the surrounding lotus flowers withered one after another. Now that he had been exposed, there was no need to use the Lotus Niche Domain to conceal his aura.
All the demon saints also got busy, and as soon as the formation was completed, they witnessed an incredibly shocking scene!
'Huff! Huff! Huff!'
Black energy continuously emerged from the vortex, growing ever more powerful, while a dense killing intent permeated the air.
Then a black outline faintly emerged from the depths of the black mist. It was pitch black, with an ancient and simple shape, yet it was magnificent. It looked like a tomb!
The tomb slowly rose, and the demon saints could only look up at it; they saw a black tombstone.
'boom! ’
Before they could see the words on the tombstone clearly, the phantom image of the mausoleum suddenly shattered.
Black energy surged wildly, causing the heavens and earth to change color.
Black smoke billowed like wolf smoke, and shadowy figures moved about. Square military formations stretched as far as the eye could see, with banners like a forest and a terrifying killing intent.
The demon saints' hearts skipped a beat, and their bodies were chilled. They had never felt such terrifying killing intent in their lives!
There was an army of thousands inside the tomb!
