114: A thousandfold critical hit returns the Heavenly Soil!

"Yes! Your subordinates obey!"

Fairy Lengyue, Jile Old Demon, and the others responded in unison, their eyes filled with excitement.

This was a great Opportunity to divide the tens of thousands of years of accumulation from the Six Demonic Sects!

Although the lion's share would certainly go to Lu Yuan, even just a taste of the leftovers would be more than enough for them.

"Go."

Lu Yuan waved his hand.

Several streaks of light soared into the sky, quickly disappearing into the horizon.

After the several Void Refining experts left.

Lu Yuan's gaze fell upon the trembling remnants of the Heavenly Demon Sect Cultivators in the square below.

These people were all elites of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

There were over a dozen Soul Transformation Stage Elders alone, and as many as dozens of Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators.

At this moment, their faces were ashen, and their eyes were filled with terror as they looked at Lu Yuan.

The Grand Elder was dead, the Sect Master had fled; they had been completely abandoned.

"I give you two choices."

Lu Yuan looked down from above, his voice indifferent: "Either submit, or die."

"We are willing to surrender! We surrender!"

"We beg Senior for mercy!"

Without almost any hesitation, this group of demonic Cultivators, who were usually fierce and evil, all knelt on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

In the face of absolute power, backbone is the least valuable thing.

"Very well."

Lu Yuan did not trust them completely.

He formed hand Seals, and his Divine Sense transformed into countless golden runes that fell like raindrops, entering the foreheads of every Soul Transformation and Nascent Soul Cultivator.

"This is a Primordial Spirit Restriction."

"As long as you are obedient, this Restriction will not trigger."

"But if you dare to have second thoughts..."

Lu Yuan snapped his fingers.

"Bang!"

In the crowd, the head of an Early Nascent Soul Stage Elder, whose eyes were flickering as if he harbored ill intentions, instantly exploded, splashing red and white matter all over the ground.

"This is the consequence."

"Hiss—"

Everyone present gasped, their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering in fear, and those slight ulterior motives completely vanished.

"Your subordinates swear loyalty unto death!"

Everyone shouted in unison, their voices trembling... Having dealt with these small fry.

Lu Yuan did not linger, but turned to look at Gu Qingxue beside him.

"Qingxue, follow me."

"Yes, Husband."

Although Gu Qingxue was puzzled and didn't know what Lu Yuan intended to do next, she still followed obediently.

The two blurred and directly bypassed the Heavenly Demon Sect's main hall, arriving at the Forbidden Ground in the back mountains—the Demon Abyss.

This was where the Foundation of the Heavenly Demon Sect lay, and also the source of Devilish Qi for the entire Rakshasa Kingdom.

Standing at the edge of the Demon Abyss, a dense wave of black Devilish Qi, almost tangible, rushed toward them, carrying a heart-palpitating chill and corrosive power.

Below the abyss was pitch black, like a bottomless, giant maw waiting to devour people.

"Golden Eyes of Truth, open."

Lu Yuan's eyes shone with brilliant golden light, his vision instantly penetrating the layers of demonic mist to reach the very bottom of the abyss.

After descending several thousand feet.

His gaze locked onto a platform sealed by countless array patterns.

There, a clump of soil emitting nine-colored radiance was quietly floating.

This clump of soil was only the size of a palm, yet it seemed as heavy as a thousand tons, emitting a thick, holy aura that nurtured all things.

In this abyss filled with demonic energy, it was like a small sun, out of place yet suppressing everything around it.

"That is..."

Gu Qingxue followed Lu Yuan's gaze; although she didn't have the Golden Eyes of Truth, she also sensed that extraordinary aura, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment.

"That aura... could it be the legendary Breathing Soil?"

"Correct."

Lu Yuan nodded: "This item is indeed the Breathing Soil."

"This is also the main purpose of my trip."

After saying that.

Lu Yuan raised his hand and grabbed.

"Buddha Kingdom in the Palm, seize!"

A giant golden hand reached into the abyss, Ignoring the surrounding raging demonic energy, directly grabbed the clump of nine-colored soil.

"Rise!"

Lu Yuan pulled forcefully.

"Rumble!"

The entire Demon Abyss began to vibrate violently, as if something was being forcibly stripped away.

The clump of nine-colored soil turned into a streak of light and flew into Lu Yuan's hand.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully intercepting the Son of Destiny Gu Changge's purple Opportunity: Breathing Soil. Triggered Thousandfold Critical Return, rewarding one portion of Nine Heavens Breath Soil.]

[Nine Heavens Breath Soil: Can nurture all things, ripen divine medicines, a supreme treasure of the Earth Law.]

Lu Yuan's Divine Sense landed on the Nine Heavens Breath Soil returned in the System space; it was as if the Dao of Earth was interwoven upon it, and the spiritual substances it contained were far beyond that of ordinary Breathing Soil.

With it, the Enlightenment Tea Tree seedling would be saved!

However.

At the moment the Breathing Soil was taken away.

"Boom!"

Losing the suppression of the Breathing Soil, the Devilish Qi deep within the Demon Abyss instantly spiraled out of control.

The black mist, which had been relatively calm, now churned and surged frantically like boiling water.

A hair-raising, terrifying aura slowly awakened from the very bottom of the abyss.

"Jie jie jie..."

A cold, frenzied laughter, sounding as if it came from the Nine Serenities of Hell, echoed in the abyss, making one's eardrums ache.

"This seat... is finally free!"

"This aura..."

Gu Qingxue's expression changed slightly, and the taiyin treasure mirror in her hand automatically protected its master, emitting a silvery glow: "Above Void Refining? Body Integration Stage?"

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes, his Golden Eyes of Truth operating at full power, his vision once again piercing through the boiling Devilish Qi.

At the very bottom of the Demon Abyss, in the place previously suppressed by the Breathing Soil.

An illusory, twisted remnant soul, emitting overwhelming evil thoughts, was slowly rising.

This remnant soul had no fixed form, sometimes turning into a hideous ghost, sometimes into a seductive beauty, and sometimes into an indescribable black mist.

But the aura on him was truly above the Void Refining stage!

A Body Integration Stage remnant soul!

"So that's how it is."

Relevant information instantly flashed through Lu Yuan's mind: "Is this the founder of the Heavenly Demon Sect from back then, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor?"

"Rumor has it that he suffered Qi Deviation while practicing the Formless Heavenly Demon Art, swallowing too many Souls which led to a split and frenzied Divine Soul, and finally had to Seal himself here."

"Unexpectedly, as soon as the Breathing Soil is gone, this old ghost has come out."

"Fresh flesh... the perfect vessel..."

Heavenly Demon Ancestor's remnant soul was clearly no longer sane, leaving only the most instinctive desire to kill and devour.

His red-gleaming eyes pierced the darkness, staring intently at the two people above.

Especially when he saw Gu Qingxue, his eyes erupted with a greedy light.

"Supreme Yin Body... the ultimate Cultivation Vessel..."

"As long as I possess her, this seat can be reborn!"

"Wuxiang Heavenly Demon: Sea of Illusions!"

Heavenly Demon Ancestor let out a roar.

"Boom!"

Under the guidance of this remnant soul, the endless Devilish Qi in the Demon Abyss instantly transformed into a bizarre illusory world.

This was no ordinary illusion, but a Heart Demon Realm that acted directly on the mind, evoking the deepest fears in one's heart.

Even a Void Refining Cultivator, once trapped within, would be devoured by their Heart Demon and become a walking corpse.
