Chapter 712 - Lava and Obsidian
Edited by Ea
Hai Kuanglang looked desperately at the wisps of black and purple curling mist, clenched his fist, and made up his mind: “Let me go out, I’m going to find Zhan Fengting.”
Lin Xuanzhi glanced at him, “If you go out now, you will die.”
Hai Kuanglang gritted his teeth and said with a sneer, “Youngest s.h.i.+di is also outside. Can you still hide here for your own life and just shrink inside your sh.e.l.l like a tortoise, even after seeing him be attacked?”
“I’m willing to leave.” Lin Xuanzhi looked at Hai Kuanglang coldly. “But if I go, should I just ignore the lives of the 300 people here?”
If these people weren’t dragging him down and if he didn’t know that Zhan Fengting would never let Yan Tianhen suffer, how could he let Yan Tianhen stay so far away from him, beyond his reach?
Hai Kuanglang was stunned and couldn’t respond for a moment.
Fu Li frowned, looking at the expanding gap and the powerful evil Qi. “But it also won’t do if we continue like this. We still have to find a way to go out.”
Lin Xuanzhi looked at the increasingly frightening world. “We can only wait for the Dragon Tomb Holy Land to be sealed again.”
———
The Burial Ground.
Longyao pa.s.sed all of his cultivation to Zhan Fengting. His last touch of soul knowledge that he had kept here for thousands of years finally dispersed.
“Now you know the way to suppress the evil spirits.” Longyao’s body gradually became transparent, but his smile became deeper and sincere. “It’s just that, it’s not so easy being a hero. You have to bear the pain of bidding farewell, you must be able to uphold the reputation of the world, and you must endure the loneliness of ten thousand years. In short, you have to think carefully about this.”
Zhan Fengting’s golden eyes were a bit more calm than before, but seemed more restrained. “Thank you for your advice, Ancestor. I will definitely protect the Longyao clan for Ancestor.”
“That’s good.” With a wave of his sleeve, Longyao turned into a brilliant light, broke through the sky, and disappeared from the Dragon Tomb.
The Dragon Tomb made a rumbling sound.
Zhan Fengting only felt a violent shock all over his body. Looking around them, he found that the sky was falling apart. The true dragon was gone and the grand seal had been released.
Zhan Fengting turned into a golden light and came to Yan Tianhen, who was still fighting in full swing. He raised his hand and separated them with a technique.
“The barrier is about to collapse. You should leave quickly,” Zhan Fengting said.
Yan Tianhen scolded, “No! He can control evil spirits. I just found that the evil spirits in the whole Dragon Tomb were controlled and released by him!”
Since they were determined to kill each other, they naturally had to use all their trump cards. Just now, Yan Tianhen saw that Lord Yuxu was moving his fingers, and those purple and black Qi were released from the ground. He then watched as they condensed into solid ent.i.ties and lunged towards him with their teeth and claws.
It goes without saying who the culprit is.
All evil Qi cultivators had the ability to solidify evil Qi into evil spirits.
This was how the Youshan Lingyu of his previous life formed an army of evil creatures. After slaughtering countless cities, the evil Qi between heaven and earth flourished to a peak.
Now, he actually witnessed the person in front of him display the exact same skills that he had in his previous life when creating evil creatures, which made him a bit more scared than shocked.
This won’t do, I have to keep this guy here. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Zhan Fengting looked at the person.
Lord Yuxu had a gorgeous face and a black robe draped over him. He looked thin but tough, like a wicker twig, standing in the violent winds and waves. Although he floated and swayed, he was neither humble nor overbearing, and his figure was indomitable.
Lord Yuxu stood with his hands behind his back. Around him and behind him, ugly evil creatures were solidifying into ent.i.ties one by one, lying on the ground with bare teeth. They growled at Zhan Fengting and Yan Tianhen, who were standing on the other side of the battlefield. It wasn’t difficult to imagine what they would have to fight once Lord Yuxu gave a command.
A crack opened behind Lord Yuxu, but Lord Yuxu just gently raised the corner of his red lips and raised his hand. More black and purple Qi from the cracked ground directly turned into evil creatures and jumped out and rushed towards Yan Tianhen.
Yan Tianhen’s pupils shrank. “The Dragon Tomb Holy Land is going to collapse! s.h.i.+xiong, take the others away quickly. I’ll hold them back!”
Zhan Fengting took a deep breath. “Why would you need to worry about the Dragon Tomb Holy Land? Ancestor’s last wish was to see his old friend. Now the eye of this evil spirit array has already been opened. You and Huarong just need to activate the gate at the same time and open the pa.s.sage. At that time, you only need to take those who have entered the Dragon Tomb and leave through the gate.”
In contrast, the movement of Zhan Fengting’s hands did not pause in the slightest. Unexpectedly, tens of thousands of icicles were directly thrown out, breaking up the purplish-black Qi ma.s.ses that were condensing into evil creatures.
Yan Tianhen’s pupils suddenly shrunk, and he suddenly patted his head. “That’s right, this is the world from an evil spirit array, so there will be a pa.s.sage connecting to the evil spirit array.”
It’s just that sometimes the pa.s.sage of the evil spirit array could open by itself after all the conditions had been triggered, but some still needed people to activate, even after triggering the necessary conditions. The person would have to use their spiritual Qi and cultivation base to support the pa.s.sage.
Obviously, due to the suppression of millions of evil creatures in the Dragon Tomb Holy Land, the level of this evil spirit array was extremely high, so naturally it was impossible for the array to open a pa.s.sage on its own. Yan Tianhen gritted his teeth immediately and was very conflicted.
Lord Yuxu was not an easy opponent. His cultivation was at least equal to Yan Tianhen’s. The fact that he could control the evil creatures in the entire Dragon Tomb was enough to make people wary.
Zhan Fengting had no experience in fighting evil spirits, nor could he control all this evil Qi. If he really fought with Lord Yuxu, Zhan Fengting would definitely fall into a disadvantage. But Yan Tianhen wouldn’t.
Yan Tianhen clenched his fist and said with determination, “s.h.i.+xiong, you can lead the others out. I’ll deal with this fake!”
Zhan Fengting had already turned into a dragon. With a sweep of his tail, hundreds of evil creatures were smashed back into evil Qi.
“You? Can you seal the Dragon Tomb if you stay here? Don’t make trouble. Time is precious, Leave quickly!” Zhan Fengting’s tone left no room for negotiation.
Yan Tianhen was taken aback for a moment. “s.h.i.+xiong, you… you’re going to seal the Dragon Tomb?”
Sealing the Dragon Tomb required at least half of the person’s cultivation base and half of their life force.
Moreover, the Dragon Tomb has already collapsed so much, so once it’s sealed, will the person who sealed it even have any life force left?
“Do you want me to watch these things run out to harm the world?” Zhan Fengting was very calm. “I am the eldest disciple of Fuyao Sect. If I let these evil creatures run into the world, I will have no face to face Master in the future. Ah Hen, I promised Master that I would let you return safely. I will keep my promise. Go quickly.”
Yan Tianhen’s eyes suddenly watered.
Why is it always the people around me making sacrifices?
Why can’t the Dao of Heaven give me more of a good life?
Zhan Fengting came with him to look for Longyao. If he returned but Zhan Fengting didn’t, how should he explain to Hai Kuanglang? How can he tell Hai Kuanglang that he left Zhan s.h.i.+xiong and ran away alone?
He can’t do it…
“Lava and obsidian…” Lin Xuanzhi looked at Heaven’s Wail, the place where purplish-black water poured down like rain. His expression suddenly changed a few times. This was a precursor to the complete collapse of the Dragon Tomb.
Moreover, the amount of evil creatures and evil Qi suppressed inside the Dragon Tomb Holy Land was far beyond his imagination.
If the barrier completely broke and the evil creatures entered the Nine Lands once again, the consequences would be unimaginable. He’s afraid the entire North Land will be swallowed up by evil Qi in an instant, and most people will not even have the chance and strength to fight back.
Suddenly, the evil Qi condensed into the shape of evil creatures at a speed visible to the naked eye. All of them had gaping maws and waved their long limbs. These wild beasts generally rushed towards the people who were still in the s.h.i.+eld and were not disturbed by the Heaven’s Wail and Earth Fissure.
This s.h.i.+eld could prevent the ground from cracking and prevent the black Qi in the sky from directly attacking, but it couldn’t prevent the simultaneous attack of hundreds or even thousands of evil creatures.
Lin Xuanzhi waved his hand and slapped away dozens of evil creatures that had climbed to the edge of the s.h.i.+eld. When others saw this, they all immediately returned to their senses and took their weapons to kill the evil creatures that wanted to break through the s.h.i.+eld.
Fu Li crushed several evil creatures in the air. “The pa.s.sage has not been opened yet. Do you want to wait for the Dragon Tomb to collapse and for us to drift outside with the explosion?”
Lin Xuanzhi: “If that happens, everyone will be dead by that time.”
Fu Li: “Don’t you have any other methods? You are a Grandmaster.”
Lin Xuanzhi: “Yes. Without taking you guys, I can go out safely by myself.”
Fu Li: “…”
“There’s a hole here!” Someone screamed.
They saw a monster that was previously lying on the s.h.i.+eld falling inside without any resistance. Although it was killed quickly, that opening attracted a lot of evil creatures, and they all rushed towards that side one after another.
Lin Xuanzhi’s pupils shrank. “No! Someone tried to destroy it from the inside!”
Moreover, being able to break his s.h.i.+eld showed that the person’s cultivation was absolutely not low. But who is it? Who can it be?
Lin Xuanzhi raised his hand and slammed towards the damaged place, quickly repairing the damage. However, the next moment, a sudden change suddenly appeared–
“Ahhhh!” Longyao Lingguang’s eyes suddenly turned purple. He cried out in pain while holding his head. The sound was heartbreaking, and the people’s scalps became numb.
“Lingguang!” Longyao Lingheng was originally killing enemies. Seeing Longyao Lingguang like this, he immediately pulled back and grabbed Longyao Lingguang, who was kneeling on the ground and wanted to roll around in pain.
Longyao Lingheng’s face was anxious. “How are you? What’s the matter with you!”
Longyao Lingguang’s throat made a whirring sound. His eyes were bloodshot. He only felt that his sanity was almost unclear, but in his heart, he felt hungry, as if he had just smelled a b.l.o.o.d.y aura that would satisfy him.
I’m so hungry. I really want to eat.
They smell so delicious.
Longyao Lingguang gradually calmed down and raised his head. He looked at Longyao Lingheng with a pair of unfocused purple eyes.
Longyao Lingheng was shocked. “Your eyes.”
Longyao Lingguang’s throat made a thick sound. He lunged at Longyao Lingheng without warning. Longyao Lingheng quickly held back both of Longyao Lingguang’s shoulders and just barely avoided being bitten by his sharp teeth.
“s.h.i.+t! Lingguang, you’re crazy!”
“He turned into an evil creature,” Lin Xuanzhi murmured. If initially he had just suspected, now he could be certain that there must be a person among them who can control evil creatures — that is, an evil Qi cultivator!
