90: Demonic energy surges

A golden speck of light, dazzling to the extreme, condensed at his fingertip, instantly expanding into a magnificent pillar of light, as thick as a bucket, incredibly condensed, and carrying an aura that could incinerate all evil.

Like a spear of divine punishment, it struck later but arrived first, accurately blasting towards Bone-Erosion Devil Lord's massive demonic claw!

Boom—!

The golden pillar of light and the pitch-black demonic claw collided fiercely, unleashing an earth-shattering roar!

Dazzling golden light and foul Devilish Qi frantically intertwined and annihilated each other!

A violent energy storm exploded in a ring, pressing down the seawater below into a massive depression!

Crack!

The seemingly indestructible demonic claw, under the bombardment of the Golden Sun Divine Light, emitted a cracking sound of unbearable strain.

Its pitch-black scales shattered and flew, and the demonic flamesentanglement around it instantly extinguished!

Bone-Erosion Devil Lord let out a painful grunt, his huge demonic claw recoiling sharply as if electrocuted, its palm charred black and dripping with demonic blood!

Zhao Yuanchen, with a single strike, forced Bone-Erosion Devil Lord back, his figure landing steadily in front of Iron Sword Shangren.

The vast Golden Core Spiritual Pressure instantly enveloped Iron Sword and Lin Feng like a warm barrier.

"Fellow Daoist Iron Sword! You've worked hard!" Zhao Yuanchen looked at Iron Sword Shangren's ghastly state, a trace of heartache and anger flashing in his eyes.

"Zhao... Fellow Daoist Zhao... you finally... came..." Iron Sword Shangren, seeing Zhao Yuanchen, finally felt his taut nerves relax, and his willpower, which had been propping him up, instantly crumbled.

His body went limp, about to fall, but was supported by a gentle Spiritual Qi from Zhao Yuanchen.

"Junior Martial Uncle!" Zhao Tieshan and the others also finally rushed over, guarding him, and seeing Iron Sword Shangren's miserable state, they were all filled with grief and indignation.

"Clear out the demonic brats! Leave none alive!" The three Purple Mansion Cultivators brought by Zhao Yuanchen had also arrived.

One of them roared furiously, and the three transformed into three streaks of light, like tigers entering a flock of sheep, instantly slaughtering their way into the demonic Cultivators who were utterly terrified and in disarray due to the Golden Core's arrival!

Purple Mansion versus Qi Condensation was a completecrush!

Screams, the sound of Magical Artifacts shattering, and the tearing of flesh and blood instantly resounded throughout the island!

The situation instantly reversed!

Watching his demonic Cultivators being slaughtered, and feeling Zhao Yuanchen's cold gaze, like that of someone looking at a dead man, fixed on him, Bone-Erosion Devil Lord clutched his injured demonic claw.

However, the expected despair and fear did not appear on his face; instead, he revealed an extremely bizarre, twisted grin, mixed with madness, venom, and a hint of cruel anticipation!

"Hehehe... Zhao Yuanchen! Do you think... you've won?" Bone-Erosion Devil Lord's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like the cry of a night owl, sounding particularly grating on the chaotic battlefield.

Zhao Yuanchen frowned slightly, his powerful Divine Thought instantly sweeping across the entire island, but he did not detect any other hidden strong Devilish Qi fluctuations.

He said coldly, "Shi Gu, on the verge of death, still daring to play tricks? Today is the day your body and spirit will be utterly destroyed!"

"Is that so?" The twisted grin on Bone-Erosion Devil Lord's face became even more distorted.

He suddenly spread his arms, as if performing some ancient ritual, his voice abruptly becoming high-pitched and eerie, like the whisper of a Demonic Lord, resounding in everyone's ears: "By my blood!

Sacrifice to my Formation!

Slumbering Demonic Domain! Awaken!!!"

The moment his voice fell!

Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!

At the edge of the island, at the four key node locations where Blood Bone Shaman had previously led demonic Cultivators to set up the demonic Formation, and where Lin Feng and Iron Sword had ambushed and killed them, the seemingly destroyed demonic patterns now simultaneously erupted with dense blood-red light!

Bone-Erosion Devil Lord forced out several drops of his vital essence blood, containing pure demonic essence, which transformed into four blood arrows, shooting with extreme precision into the four erupting blood-red lights!

Buzz—!

The entire Black Reef Island, at this moment, emitted a rumble far more muffled and terrifying than when the Formation was previously broken, as if originating from the depths of the earth!

The island shook violently, like a sleeping giant turning over!

"Not good!" Zhao Yuanchen's face changed dramatically, his powerful Divine Thought instantly sensing an extremely evil, extremely vast power being forcibly awakened and drawn from deep within the island's Spiritual Vein!

Boom—!

At the center of the island, in the area most severely eroded by Devilish Qi, where Blood Bone Shaman had previously exploded, the earth suddenly arched upwards and cracked open!

A pitch-black demonic pillar, ten times thicker and a hundred times more condensed than the previous demonic light, and pure to the extreme, carrying a terrifying aura of destruction, erupted from the earth's crust like a waking Demonic Dragon, soaring straight into the clouds!

The pitch-black demonic light instantly engulfed Zhao Yuanchen's Golden Sun Escape Light, staining the entire sky a desperate ink black!

Devilish Qi, so dense it couldn't be dissolved, surged out frantically from the earth crack like viscous liquid, instantly sweeping across the entire island!

"Ugh!"

"My Spiritual Qi! It's not flowing!"

"So... so uncomfortable! The Devilish Qi is eroding my body!"

The Cultivators of Qingfeng Thorn and the reinforcements, who had just been cheering for the counterattack, were instantly submerged by this sudden terrifying Devilish Qi!

The dense Devilish Qi, carrying a strong power of erosion and suppression, made their Spiritual Qi circulation instantly incredibly sluggish, as if they had fallen into a quagmire!

Their protective spiritual light hissed under the onslaught of the Devilish Qi, rapidly dimming!

Cultivators with weaker cultivation felt their entire bodies stinging, as if countless tiny demonic insects were gnawing at their flesh and Meridians!

In contrast, those demonic Cultivators, under the infusion of such pure Devilish Qi, seemed to have been injected with a stimulant.

Their morale, which had been suppressed by the Golden Core's Spiritual Pressure, instantly reversed, their eyes turning blood-red, their aura wildly surging, and they let out excited, bloodthirsty roars!

"Demonic Source Well?! You... you actually dared to activate the earth's Devilish Qi, forcibly polluting the Spiritual Vein, and intend to completely transform this island into a Demonic Domain Dao field?!"

Zhao Yuanchen's face became unprecedentedly grim as he felt the suffocatingly dense Devilish Qi around him and the strong suppression his own Spiritual Qi circulation was experiencing!

He finally understood why Shi Gu didn't run!

This demonic Formation could actually forcibly connect with the foul demonic source deep within the earth's Spiritual Vein, transforming an area into demonic land within a short period!

Within this Demonic Domain, the demonic Cultivators' strength would greatly increase, while the Righteous Path Cultivators would be suppressed in all aspects!

With one side gaining and the other losing, the battle situation once again became unpredictable!

"Hehehe! Only understanding now? Too late!" Bone-Erosion Devil Lord, suspended in the center of the soaring demonic pillar, let out a triumphant and insane grin.

He greedily devoured the pure Devilish Qi, and the charred wound on his chest, burned by Zhao Yuanchen's Golden Sun Divine Light, was rapidly healing!

The demonic patterns around his body became clearer and deeper, and his aura climbed wildly as if on a rocket, instantly breaking through the shackles of the Purple Mansion Peak, reaching a terrifying level that was heart-pounding and infinitely close to Golden Core!

His shriveled body inflated like a balloon, his muscles bulging, and his demonic might was monstrous!

His pair of blood-red demonic eyes, now like two blood moons, were locked onto the grim-faced Zhao Yuanchen!

"In this Demonic Domain! This Dominator... is the Dominator! Zhao Yuanchen! Your Golden Core, this Dominator will take it!

And all of you... will become sacrifices for the birth of the Demonic Domain!

Hahahaha!" Bone-Erosion Devil Lord laughed wildly, a demonic claw covered in pitch-black bone armor, entwined with dark red demonic flames, and even larger and more ferocious than before, tore through the rolling Devilish Qi, descending with world-destroying power towards Zhao Yuanchen!
