63: Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Souls
In fact, the pillar of light just now was a lure, but it was only a trap aimed at Demonic Cultivators.
Only when a Demonic Cultivator was detected would they be annihilated.
Therefore, if Li Xingyan and Wang Ning had entered the pillar of light just now, they would actually have been teleported out of the Formation.
After all, the Great Zhou Dynasty still needed to save face and would not truly use the lives of countless Cultivators as bait.
But Li Xingyan and Wang Ning had clearly missed their chance.
Caution can save a person's life in many situations, but they didn't expect it to harm them at this moment.
In the forest, Wang Ning said with a grim expression, "What kind of Formation is this, to be so terrifying?"
"A fourth-grade Formation!" Li Xingyan said gravely, "To be precise, it's a mid-grade fourth-grade Formation, the Azure Dragon Roaring Heaven Formation."
Because the commotion just now was too great, Fire Old, who was in a deep sleep, had already been awakened.
And these words were clearly told to Li Xingyan by Fire Old.
"So, we've fallen into a trap set by the Great Zhou Dynasty for Demonic Cultivators?"
"From the looks of it, yes!"
Just as Li Xingyan and Wang Ning were discussing countermeasures, the protagonist of this event, the Lord of Myriad Souls, made his appearance.
A spine-chilling roar suddenly came from the darkness, and black mist surged like a living entity.
Countless terrifying ghosts flew into the sky, obscuring the moonlight, and their mournful roars made everyone present tremble.
Immediately after, a tall dark figure holding a soul banner appeared before everyone.
"Is this the Lord of Myriad Souls?"
"I heard he's the Old Ancestor of the Soul Refining Sect, Cultivating by devouring the souls of others."
"These Demonic Cultivators are so cruel, they should all be executed!"
The Lord of Myriad Souls listened to the discussions around him, a sneer playing on his lips. "Do you think you can take me down with just the Azure Dragon Roaring Heaven Formation?"
"Little do you know, since I dared to come, I naturally came fully prepared."
"Come out, my darlings!"
As he spoke, the Lord of Myriad Souls gently shook the bone banner in his hand, and in an instant, dozens of powerful dark figures rushed out.
Compared to those ghosts, their bodies were more solid, and their Qi was extremely powerful, emitting astonishing Devilish Qi.
"What if we add this?"
Suddenly, a jade seal appeared in True Monarch Qingxu's hand, and in an instant, the Spiritual Qi within a hundred-mile radius was swallowed and absorbed by it, converging into nine azure Dragon phantom images spiraling into the sky.
Vast and mighty Dragon Qi swept across the firmament, and the Dragon's might, as dazzling as the great sun, suppressed demons.
"The dragon seal of the nation!"
"What a grand gesture indeed!"
The Lord of Myriad Souls said through gritted teeth.
The dragon seal of the nation was the Great Zhou Dynasty's national treasure, not only gathering the Luck of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also a Dao artifact itself!
Therefore, at the first sight of the dragon seal of the nation, the Lord of Myriad Souls had no intention of fighting and immediately began to break through.
"Myriad Souls, you slaughtered my people and ambushed the Martial King; today is your day of reckoning!"
Before he finished speaking, the nine azure Dragons suddenly let out a collective roar. Amidst the Dragon's roar, the Formation's barrier transformed into a tangible screen of Dragon scales, completely sealing off the space within a ten-mile radius.
The Lord of Myriad Souls had just ascended when he crashed into an invisible Restriction, and was immediately knocked down.
The Lord of Myriad Souls' pupils suddenly constricted. He let out a long roar to the sky, and his demonic body began to swell. A giant dark shadow appeared behind him, opening its huge mouth and sucking all the ghosts into the air.
Immediately after, the Lord of Myriad Souls' Qi began to rapidly strengthen. He was clearly attempting to activate a forbidden technique to Breakthrough the Formation's spatial confinement.
But how could True Monarch Qingxu let him have his way?
The nine azure Dragon phantom images suddenly materialized, their Dragon claws tearing through the night sky, and their Dragon whiskers sweeping away countless ghosts.
Under the suppression of the Dragon's might, the Lord of Myriad Souls' body emitted a fragile cracking sound, unable to bear the burden. The Devilish Qi entanglement around his body began to dissipate, revealing his somewhat aged figure.
"Damn it!" The Lord of Myriad Souls suddenly opened his giant mouth and spewed out a towering black cloud. Within the black cloud, a hundred thousand phantom images of demonic soldiers appeared, each extending a withered hand to grasp at the Formation barrier.
The Dragon scale light curtain of the Azure Dragon Roaring Heaven Formation began to tremble violently, and a certain weak point began to crack.
Just as the Lord of Myriad Souls was about to seize the Opportunity to escape, dozens of brilliant divine chains suddenly shot out from the darkness, binding his body tightly.
"Myriad Souls, the sin of devouring living souls, today you shall repay it!"
True Monarch Qingxu roared, and the nine azure Dragons simultaneously opened their Dragon mouths. Subsequently, the Dragon's breath transformed into tangible pillars of light that pierced through the demonic body. The hundred thousand phantom images of demonic soldiers vanished into thin air under the Dragon's might.
Immediately after, the dragon seal of the nation continuously grew larger, as if transforming into a mountain peak, pressing down towards the Lord of Myriad Souls.
"No!" The Lord of Myriad Souls shrieked, "I am unwilling, the Lord's plan has only just begun..."
The sound suddenly cut off... At the same time, on the other side.
As early as when True Monarch Qingxu and the Lord of Myriad Souls had just begun their battle, Li Xingyan and Wang Ning, with the help of Fire Old, had entered the existing ruins.
However, in order not to expose Fire Old, Li Xingyan only said that he possessed the key to the ruins.
Such words might fool a little girl, but they certainly wouldn't fool Wang Ning.
However, Wang Ning also knew that everyone had secrets, so he did not pursue the matter.
The two were teleported into the ruins and immediately separated.
What greeted their eyes was rolling magma, and the clouds in the sky carried an unpleasant odor.
In the cracks of the fractured rock layers on the ground, lava flowed like giant pythons, forging the earth pulse within a hundred-mile radius into crystal rock like glazed glass.
Wang Ning searched around in these ruins and found that the original buildings had been swallowed by the magma.
Having found nothing, he simply found a suitable spot and jumped directly into the magma to Cultivate.
The Great Sun Glazed Body that Wang Ning Cultivated was extremely yang and rigid, and this place was just an excellent Body Refining location.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Li Xingyan finally understood why the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion would sell such a good ruin.
It turned out that these ruins were already destroyed, and even if there were treasures, they were deeply buried in the lava.
Just as Li Xingyan was worrying about this, Fire Old floated out.
"Xiao Yanzi, watch closely. Today, I will teach you the method for refining Fire Evasion Pills."
Saying that, Fire Old took out some Spirit Medicine from his ring and began to refine them.
A moment later, more than a dozen dark red Fire Evasion Pills appeared in Fire Old's hand.
Then, Fire Old handed the Fire Evasion Pills to Li Xingyan and said, "Each of these Fire Evasion Pills can evade fire for two hours. They should be enough to last until we find the Myriad Beast Fire."
After speaking, Fire Old returned to the ring.
Subsequently, Li Xingyan took a Fire Evasion Pill and then plunged into the magma with a splash, swimming towards the depths.
At the same time, outside.
With the death of the Lord of Myriad Souls, after clearing out the remaining Demonic Cultivators, True Monarch Qingxu withdrew the Formation.
Subsequently, the Sect and Family Disciples also entered the ruins.
However, those Loose Cultivators who had already been teleported away had completely missed this Opportunity.
