553: Chapter 553 Five Elements Demon-Slaying Formation

Outside the Yan Clan.

Elder Chihuo's expression was unsightly. He looked back at the Yan Clan with a trace of doubt in his eyes, clearly dissatisfied with Huo Zhi's answer.

However, he knew Valley Master Tang Huo'er's temperament; if she received such an answer, the consequences would be severe.

"Elder Chihuo, what do you plan to do?" the Starfall Pavilion elder asked meaningfully.

"Oh? I wonder what suggestions you might have, sir?" Elder Chihuo understood immediately and spoke indifferently.

Hahaha!

"Chihuo, I won't beat around the bush. Our Pavilion Master's intention is that regardless of whether Huo Zhi knows him or not, the blame must be pinned on Hun Tiandi's head!"

"Two of Pavilion Master You Quan's sons were killed by Hun Tiandi!"

"And your valley's Saintess, Tang Junyao, also perished outside the Blood River Ruins. Therefore, Hun Tiandi is our common enemy."

The Starfall Pavilion elder tempted him.

Hearing this, Elder Chihuo fell into deep thought. Once Tang Huo'er found out, this would be considered deceiving a superior, which would bring him danger.

However, if he could not investigate and find the murderer of Tang Junyao...

Upon returning to the Burning Flame Valley, he would surely face Tang Huo'er's thunderous wrath.

Elder Chihuo looked deeply at the instigating Starfall Pavilion elder, a ripple of emotion surfacing in his eyes.

"I need a personal reply from Pavilion Master You Quan?" Elder Chihuo made a quick decision while caught in the dilemma.

"Then please, Elder Chihuo, accompany me to the Starfall Pavilion!"

The Starfall Pavilion elder showed a hint of excitement; he had finally completed the Pavilion Master's task.

The two transformed into streaks of light and shot toward the direction of the Starfall Pavilion.

Southwest of the Central Region.

Yin Yunji led the way, speeding toward Sound Valley with Hun Tiandi following beside her, though her heart was in turmoil.

As soon as a flaw appeared in the seal, it would immediately give the ancient demon gods an opportunity.

With the massive leak of demonic qi, a large number of demons would follow, and these demons were not simple.

Their strength was formidable, enough to rival Dou Zun level experts, and their numbers were constantly increasing.

If not for the old fellows in Sound Valley who had long since withdrawn from world affairs stepping in to activate the power of the Five Elements Demon-Slaying Array to trap the demons and demonic qi and prevent them from leaking out...

Once the demonic qi broke through the seal, let alone Sound Valley, the entire Central Region would fall into a demonic domain.

Countless sects and magical beasts would all be corrupted into demons under the erosion of the demonic qi.

That would be a true disaster.

"Senior Yin, what can I do to help?" This was what Hun Tiandi was most concerned about.

"In the Five Elements Demon-Slaying Array, the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Sound within is weakening. To reinforce the array, we first need the cold jade ancient zither, and second, the Sound Valley's protective Heavenly Incantation—the Seven Sounds Heavenward Incantation."

"Currently, Tian Yin has not yet mastered the Heavenly Incantation and relies purely on the power of the cold jade ancient zither."

Yin Yunji looked at Hun Tiandi with a meaningful gaze.

"Passing through Dihuang City this time, I sensed a vast Power Of Faith on the golden statue, only then learning that you are the master of that statue."

Hearing this, waves rose in Hun Tiandi's heart. He hadn't expected that someone in the Central Plains would actually recognize the Power Of Faith.

Back when he established the statues in the territory of the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty to collect the Power Of Faith, it was merely an experiment.

Later, he used the Power Of Faith to fuse various metal materials and refine Immortal Crystals.

It could be considered a form of application!

Years had passed, and the statues were already deeply ingrained in the people's hearts; no power could erase them, as faith had taken root.

Even top-tier forces like the Pill Tower or the Ancient Eight Clans could not do so.

Unless they slaughtered everyone within the territory of the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty, but who would perform such a massacre? Who would dare?

Once done, they would surely become the target of public scorn. Even without Hun Tiandi acting, someone in the Fighting Qi Continent would deal with them.

Just like when Hun Tiandi performed the blood sacrifice of the Central Plains back then, becoming the enemy of the entire continent.

Hun Tiandi wasn't worried at all; the entire Fighting Qi Continent no longer had cultivation methods for the Divine Path, and no one would care.

No matter how much Power Of Faith was collected, without the method to convert it, it was all in vain.

"Could it be that the Power Of Faith helps with the seal?" Hun Tiandi asked.

"Indeed. The Power Of Faith contains the yearning for the beauty of the world. This power is extremely pure and is a miraculous kind of energy."

"When the Divine Path was prevalent in the past, the struggle for the Power Of Faith was extremely brutal."

"This power is the opposite of demonic qi. If infinite Power Of Faith is applied to the seal, we can rely on it to hold out for a while longer!"

Yin Yunji said calmly.

The golden statues were the power of vows sent by the common people's prayers, a kind of benevolent intent.

Although Hun Tiandi did not know the method to convert the Power Of Faith, he could still simply activate it.

Using the Power Of Faith to suppress demons, and with the entire Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty territory providing it, it was nearly inexhaustible.

The backup power was sufficient.

Sound Valley was indeed extraordinary.

After passing through a spatial barrier, the true Sound Valley finally came into view.

At this moment, the depths of Sound Valley were filled with various zither sounds and melodies resounding throughout the sky; strangely, nothing could be heard from the outside.

"Such powerful demonic qi?"

In the sky, layers of what looked like demonic clouds covered the heavens, constantly churning, pitch black as ink, nearly dripping down.

The rolling demonic qi within the clouds roared incessantly, clashing with the sound of the melodies.

"Let's go, this is just the periphery..." After saying that, she flew toward a certain direction.

Hun Tiandi followed closely behind. Before long, a terrifying sight appeared before his eyes.

"This is..."

The scene before him was filled with demonic qi like crashing waves, and demons were everywhere.

The water in the lake was churning, with towering waves surging. In the center was a vortex from which demonic qi emerged.

Streams of black qi rose upward, piercing into the high heavens.

They converged in mid-air into a massive five-colored formation, releasing countless golden lights that spun continuously.

The endless, terrifying demonic qi around it clashed with the golden light like fire and water, producing a sizzling sound.

Around the lake stood five massive stone pillars of different colors, each engraved with countless mysterious runes that rotated around the pillars.

The Five Elements Pillars released countless golden lights, sealing off the entire lake.

The Five Elements Demon-Slaying Array!

However, on the Wood Element Stone Pillar, series of terrifying cracks had appeared, and the golden light on the pillar was dim.

These cracks were still spreading, threatening to cover the entire stone pillar.

Countless amounts of demonic qi were leaking out from the Wood Element pillar.

All around, several elders were forming hand seals, desperately suppressing the leakage of demonic qi. The aura they emitted gave Hun Tiandi immense pressure.

Almost every one of them radiated the aura of the Dou Sheng level, and there were as many as thirty such experts.

Over thirty Dou Shengs?

Even during the period when Hun Tiandi commanded the Hun Clan, there were only a dozen or so Dou Sheng powerhouses.

If Sound Valley wanted to contend for world hegemony, when would it have been the Ancient Eight Clans' turn to act so arrogantly?

These Dou Sheng experts in Sound Valley had long reached the point of not concerning themselves with worldly matters, unless Sound Valley faced the disaster of total destruction.

Just like right now.

Demonic qi churned in the lake, and demons roared incessantly, carrying a hint of demonic sound that struck against the Five Elements Demon-Slaying Array.

Dense beads of sweat appeared on the aged faces of the surrounding elders.

From the looks of it, this was by no means easy.

Above the lake, on that Five Elements Demon-Slaying Array diagram, Tian Yin, dressed in white, looked like a fairy descending to the mortal realm. The cold jade ancient zither lay horizontally before her.

Her slender jade hands continuously plucked the strings, and fine sweat also appeared on her forehead.

The zither music contained a vast righteous qi, which poured into the Five Elements Demon-Slaying Array diagram, helping the seal resist the impact of the demon gods.
