The Great Wild God - Chapter 421
Chapter 421 Sealing Devil Ruins
The entrance to the Demon Ruins was about a hundred feet away from the sand, and the light around it twisted violently, as if it was a huge cave connecting to the Nine Nether Prison River.
The black demonic fiend surged out from the ruins and was sealed off by several Profound Yin Heavy Water Formations, unable to leak into the Cloud Continent.
The sun was hanging high in the sky, and two fanged demons poked their heads out from the thick fog at the entrance of the ruins.
The Mystic Yin Heavy Water Formation instantly gathered water into arrows. Dozens of giant arrows covered in water-colored fine scales were quickly torn into pieces by the two azure-faced magical creatures.
“The profound water array of the Kui Dragon Pavilion is unpredictable. It really is a unique technique in the Northwest Region.” Cang Yazi stood on the cloud with his sleeve and raised his voice.
Chen Xun frowned slightly. He didn’t pick up Cang Yazi’s words with Scarlet Pine Child, Ji Lie, Hu Taiyan, and the others.
The two azure-faced magical creatures that had just stuck their heads out from the mouth of the devil ruins were quite weak, but they were the spies of the Thousand Devil Realm marshals and generals. The Thousand Devil Realm mages and generals were unable to enter the Cloud Continent directly, but they could detect movements near the Thousand Devil Sand Sea through these low-grade magical creatures.
Although these two azure-faced monsters had stayed in Cloud Continent for an extremely short period of time, in such a short period of time, it was enough for the Divine Sense of the Demon Marshal and the Demon General to use these two azure-faced monsters to clearly detect the movements within a hundred li radius of the mouth of the Demon Ruins.
Chen Xun, Chi Songzi, and the others hid in the clouds and waited quietly. They didn’t stand directly in front of the entrance of the devil ruins, just because they didn’t want the other devil creatures on the other side to notice anything in advance.
Cang Yazi had let out an unprovoked breath just now, so it was hard to believe that he had accidentally let it go.
If they dragged on, Jiang Jun wondered what other tricks Lord Crimson Brow and the others would do. Chen Xun looked at Tao Jinghong and asked, “True Monarch Tao, is it almost time?”
Tao Jinghong looked at Jiang Jun and asked, “Sorry to trouble you, Chun Lingjun …”
The Void Origin Spirit Land used the Mirage Dragon Bone to create a ridge, causing the Void Origin Realm to become extremely unstable. At this moment, it was no longer convenient for Chen Xun to bring the Void Origin Pearl with him.
There were six layers of formation restrictions inside the copper pillar of lightning. After Tao Jinghong arrived in Mountain Parasol, he could only refine the outermost layer of formation restrictions for a short period of time. He could barely lift the copper pillar of lightning and could not store it in his bag of holding.
Without the Void Origin Pearl, Tao Jinghong was unable to store the enormous Copper Lightning Pillar in his bag of holding. Previously, it had taken them ten days to transport the Copper Lightning Pillar from the Azure Dragon Ridge three thousand kilometers away to Golden Castle three hundred kilometers away. However, it was not an easy task to silently transport the Copper Lightning Pillar from Golden Castle to the entrance of the Devil Ruins.
Chen Xun and the others had specially invited Spring Mausoleum Monarch to use his Pure Yang Dao Tool Mountain River Diagram to store the Copper Thunder Pillar in the Golden Star Fort, and then quietly bring it to the top of the Demon Ruins’ entrance.
This way, the demons wouldn’t notice in advance.
The corner of Chun Lingjun’s eyes twitched slightly, and his heart was struggling violently.
The Copper Lightning Pillar had already been put into the Mountain and River Diagram. He could work with Lord Crimson Brow to take the Copper Lightning Pillar away. He believed that Tao Jinghong and the four sects would not be able to keep them in Tu Shan.
If he really wanted to do this, how would he clean up the mess that followed?
Would Jiang Mingtai and the others use this to attack him, and would Emperor Xi Wu tolerate his actions of snatching away the Dao Treasures of the Cloud Continent Sect?
The four sects of Mount Tu were still weak, but how would the Dragon Gate Sect, Profound Heaven Sect, and other sects react to this?
Could it be that Chen Xun, who had a hidden background, was really as Jiang Xu had guessed, and had something to do with the Ji Clan secretly-Chen Xun pretended to be generous and asked him to put the Copper Thunder Pillar into the Mountain River Diagram? Was it the Ji Clan’s conspiracy against the Jiang Clan?
As time passed, Jiang Junwen felt as if he had been struggling for a long time. When Tao Jinghong asked again, he woke up from his shock. He took out the Mountain River Diagram from his bosom with a complicated expression and shot out a ray of light, releasing the Copper Thunder Pillar in mid-air.
*******************
Chen Xun and the others were also sweating profusely in their hearts, but they had to take this risk.
They were unable to understand the true intentions of Chun Lingjun and Lord Crimson Brow on this trip. It was much better to join hands with Chun Lingjun and Lord Crimson Brow to seize the Copper Thunder Pillar than to be ambushed and attacked by these two when Tao Jinghong cast a spell to seal the entrance of the Demonic Ruins.
Chen Xun and the others heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Jiang Junwen take out the Mountain River Diagram and release the Copper Thunder Pillar.
From the looks of it, although Jiang Junwen’s mind wasn’t that open, he didn’t have the slightest bit of fear in his actions.
The moment Jiang Junwen released the Copper Lightning Pillar, Tao Jinghong took control of the Copper Lightning Pillar and pushed it towards the entrance of the Devil Ruins.
Before the Profound Yin Heavy Water Formation could even retreat, the Copper Lightning Pillar took advantage of the situation and directly crushed the protective spirit shield into a ball of shattered light.
A disciple with a low cultivation base immediately abandoned the defensive barrier near the entrance of the Devil Ruins and retreated to the periphery as quickly as possible.
When the mouth of the devil ruins collapsed, a large number of void storms would sweep out. Even if it wasn’t even more violent than the Heavenly Dao Divine Lightning, it was definitely not something a person below the Origin Core Realm could withstand.
Before the enormous amount of demonic fiends that had been compressed in the tiny space by the protective spirit shield could leak out, the black mist was sucked into the copper pillar of lightning with a fierce withdrawal.
With the help of his Qi, the space around the entrance to the Devil Ruins quickly collapsed.
Countless bolts of lightning, like golden lightning snakes, grew out of the cracks in the collapsed void and smashed into the copper pillars of lightning.
Perhaps it was because Cang Yazi released his Qi just now that a large amount of magical creatures were entering from the mouth of the devil ruins. They wanted to test whether the four sects’ arrangements in the Thousand Devil Sand Sea were abnormal. Unfortunately, they were sucked into the lightning waterfall and were crushed into pieces by the wild lightning within three to five breaths of time.
The demons set up a Heaven and Earth level formation on the other side of the entrance to the Demon Ruins to form a stable passage connecting the Cloud Continent.
At this moment, as long as the copper pillar of lightning was sent into the mouth of the Demon Ruins, causing intense Yuan Qi shocks, it would be sufficient to destroy the Heaven and Earth Spell Formation set up by the demons, thus achieving the goal of completely sealing the mouth of the Demon Ruins.
As the space collapsed, the tyrannical energy in the void wildly leaked in through the spatial rift, turning into golden thunder that densely bombarded the copper pillar of thunder.
The space around the entrance of the Demon Ruins collapsed, showing no signs of further expansion. The Copper Thunder Pillar did not fear the impact of the spatial storm, but Tao Jinghong, who was currently using his boundless divine sense to control the Copper Thunder Pillar, did not feel so good.
Tao Jinghong’s skinny face swelled as if it was inflated. His entire body emitted a purple glow. He was doing his utmost to destroy all of his magic power and pour it into the copper pillar of lightning. He pushed the copper pillar of lightning ten zhang into the mouth of the devil ruins.
Fortunately, under the chain reaction of the collapse of space, even if the demons on the other side realized that something was amiss, they wouldn’t be able to change anything without their Nirvana Realm enemies in the face of the tyrannical void storm that had already stirred up.
**********************
Tao Jinghong’s soul aura, which was attached to the copper pillar of lightning, was quickly dispersed by the boundless lightning, and he sat on the sand with a dispirited expression.
Although the passageway connecting the Demon Ruins to the Thousand Demon Realm had completely collapsed, the spatial rift above the Thousand Demon Sand Sea had yet to be completely closed.
A huge amount of void energy was leaking out from the spatial rifts, turning into violent golden lightning snakes that swirled wildly above the Thousand Devil Sand Sea.
In order to prevent the raging void storm from spreading in all directions, many disciples of the Dragon Gate Sect formed an array and escorted Tao Jinghong to the outer perimeter.
At this moment, the copper pillar of lightning still had a tail left outside, not completely entering the void.
Jiang Junwen stood tens of kilometers away from the clouds and said loudly, “The spatial passageway connecting the Thousand Devil Realm has collapsed. There is really no need for the Copper Pillar of Thunder to fall into the endless void …”
The golden bolts of lightning that leaked into the spatial rift were all concentrated on the copper pillars of lightning.
If the copper pillar of lightning were to be forcefully dragged back, not only would the spatial rift not close, it would even collapse outwards. No one knew what kind of chain reaction would be triggered.
Chen Xun, Master Crimson Pine, and Ji Lie exchanged glances. They ignored Jiang Junwen and caused the disciples of the Nature’s Night Sect to form an array and transform into an ancient dragon. They continued to bombard the end of the copper pillar of lightning.
The boundless void energy was concentrated on the copper pillar of lightning. The copper pillar of lightning completely fell into the void. The sky above the Thousand Devil Sand Sea was like a rainy day. In an instant, it regained its calm, and tens of spatial cracks completely disappeared.
Chen Xun looked back at the extremely ugly Chun Lingjun and smiled in his heart.
Master Crimson Pine looked at Chun Lingjun and said,
‘”The Copper Thunder Pillar sensed the Void Storm Qi. If we hadn’t pushed the Copper Thunder Pillar into the endless void, none of us would have been able to disconnect the Copper Thunder Pillar from the Void Storm Qi. The void above Mount Tu is likely to collapse even further. It’s hard to predict what kind of adverse impact this will have on Cang Lan. Please forgive us, Chun Lingjun …”
Chun Lingjun’s face was dark, but he could not say that the four sects were wrong.
Logically speaking, even if the Copper Lightning Pillar was forcefully dragged back at the last moment, the Copper Lightning Pillar would still belong to the four sects.
Chen Xunxiu looked at the location of the entrance to the Demon Ruins. At this moment, it was empty and filled with emotions. Who could have imagined that this tiny Void Eye had brought such a painful calamity to the Northwest Region?
Everyone was finally able to sleep peacefully at night.
“The entrance to the Demon Ruins has been completely sealed. Now that the hidden dangers between Tu Shan and God-controller Mansion have disappeared, Darkness Ridge should focus on destroying the millions of demons in Darkness Ridge.” Tao Jinghong and the two Dharma Adepts of the Dragon Gate Sect flew back to their original location, feeling extremely emotional.
“The Million Demons have been in Darkness Ridge for more than 40 years, and the Xuandu Sect has been guarding Wu Zhou Mountain, but they have done nothing. I’m afraid that the Million Demons have already become a climate in Darkness Ridge.” Lord Crimson Brow’s expression was gloomy as he walked over and said.
Hearing what Lord Crimson Brow said, Chen Xun smiled and no one answered his question.
Forty years ago, during the battle at the Old Dragon Lake, the Xuandu Sect suffered a huge loss.
Afterwards, the Profound Heaven Sect would be able to set up a defensive line on Mount Wuzhou and seal off the millions of demons outside the Northern Domain. This was already quite good.
Forty years later, the Xuandu Sect had not done much in Mount Wu Zhou, but what had the Jiang Clan and God-controller Mansion been doing these past few years?
“Lord Crimson Brow has conscripted Chen Xun several times to work in the Northwest Governor’s Mansion, but several times it was quite unfortunate. Chen Xun either traveled outside or cultivated in seclusion in Mountain Parasol.”
Jiang Jun asked with a pair of fierce eyes that revealed a shining divine light. He swept his gaze over Chen Xun’s face and said,
‘”Just as True Monarch Tao said, the next step is to make a move against Darkness Ridge. However, this is not just God-controller Mansion’s responsibility. All the sects in Yunzhou State have the responsibility to push you aside. I recommend you to directly enter God-controller Mansion as General Zuo Du Wei. You probably won’t happen to have to travel around again, right?”
Everyone was shocked when they heard Jiang Junwen’s words. None of them expected Jiang Junwen to directly recruit Chen Xun into the God-controller Mansion.
