Entering the Abyssal Demon Domain
"Thank you Yuan Cang, for helping me get rid of the bad apples."
Facing Ling Chi, Zhang Hao, and the others who had defected to Yuan Cang, Lin Langtian smiled slightly, a hint of coldness appearing deep in his eyes.
Back when he ascended to the position of Fire Division Spirit General, he wanted to find an opportunity to secretly eliminate his former rivals, Ling Chi and Zhang Hao. Unfortunately, these two seemed to know Lin Langtian's thoughts and behaved themselves well, preventing him from finding a suitable opportunity.
However, just when Lin Langtian was about to forget about these two, they unexpectedly chose to seek death and joined Yuan Cang's forces.
Lin Langtian was naturally pleased with this.
After all, Lin Dong, that killing god, was still watching Yuan Sect with predatory eyes. For these two to follow Yuan Cang was practically tantamount to courting death.
As for their defection damaging Lin Langtian's prestige and causing losses to the Fire Division's combat strength, Lin Langtian didn't care much.
Although he doesn't have a deep foundation in the Yuan Sect, the Fire Division is his domain. If just a few people defecting could damage his prestige, then Lin Langtian's reputation would be far too fragile.
As for Zhang Hao and Ling Chi, although their strength is not bad, Song Yun and others, with the help of Lin Langtian, have now also reached the strength of Spirit General. The departure of a few people will not cause any loss to the Fire Division's combat power.
It is no exaggeration to say that, with the strength of Lin Langtian Fire Division alone, among all the participating sects in the Eastern Xuan Region, apart from the Eight Great Super Sects, there are probably few sects that can compare to it.
Seeing Lin Langtian's calm expression, Yuan Cang's previously smug expression slowly stiffened.
Lei Qian and Ling Zhen, who were standing to the side, also looked rather gloomy. They had originally intended to use this opportunity to strike a blow at Lin Langtian, but the latter didn't seem to care at all and even managed to turn the tables with a sharp retort.
"Sharp-tongued and sarcastic, with your Fire Division's small force, I hope you won't come looking for our help if you encounter danger in the Abyssal Demon Domain, or don't blame us for disregarding our fraternal bond," Lei Qian sneered.
"Of course, it's not too late for you to join us now. Although Junior Brother Lin is very strong, he may not be able to take care of everyone. Look at Junior Brother Ling Chi and Junior Brother Zhang Hao, they are quite sensible." Ling Zhen a smile.
As for Lei Qian's threats and Ling Zhen's provocations, the Fire Division did not experience any further changes this time. After all, whether it was Song Yun and others or Mo Tie and others, they were now all Lin Langtian's confidants, so naturally they would not believe the words of the Three Young Kings.
Seeing this, just as Lei Qian was about to say something with a gloomy expression, Yuan Cang in front of him waved his hand slightly. His narrow eyes stared intently at Lin Langtian, his gaze filled with a cold and sinister aura.
"It seems that Junior Brother Lin thinks he can replace me after defeating me once."
Yuan Cang smiled, then shook his head. His gaze, like a snake, slowly swept over everyone in the Fire Division, and he said softly.
"In that case, you'd better pray for yourselves in this Sect Tournament. One day, you will understand that the Yuan Sect is the Yuan Sect of the Three Grand Masters."
His voice didn't contain any overly explicit harsh words, but the profound meaning within it was clearly discernible to everyone.
"Don't speak too confidently. Perhaps in this Sect Tournament, your Seven Divisions will not perform as well as our Fire Division."
The smile on Lin Langtian's face also gradually faded at this moment, and a slightly meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
So what if you Three Young Kings are trusted? If you are no longer here, won't it be Lin Langtian's turn to carry the banner of the younger generation of the Yuan Sect?
"Hehe, you think you can create miracles all by yourself? It seems that Junior Brother Lin is quite the dreamer."
Yuan Cang gave a cold laugh, then shut his mouth. Although he was extremely wary of Lin Langtian's strength, the Abyssal Demon Domain was fraught with difficulties and it was not the time to show off one's personal skills. Clearly, a mere Fire Division could not cause any big trouble.
With Seven Divisions under his command and a strong army, he might be able to find an opportunity in the Abyssal Demon Domain and perhaps even surpass Lin Langtian, who is only at the Nine Yuan Nirvana Stage.
Furthermore, every Sect Tournament is a battlefield where Yuan Sect and Dao Sect clash. If he leads his troops to severely damage Dao Sect, he can not only restore his prestige after failing the Division Trial, but also win the favor of his own teacher.
Once the Sect Tournament ends, he will be able to leverage the trust of his teacher, Tian Yuanzi, and his merit in annihilating the Dao Sect to gain greater power and a higher status within the sect.
At that time, the first thing he would do was to get rid of Lin Langtian, his biggest threat!
As Yuan Cang withdrew his gaze with ill intentions, Lin Langtian also looked away, glancing sideways at Song Yun and the others.
Their faces showed no dissatisfaction with the conflict between Lin Langtian and Yuan Cang; on the contrary, they were filled with anger.
"Senior Brother, those Three Young Kings are going too far! They completely disregard our Fire Division!" Song Yun, Pang Lie, and the others said angrily.
Although the others remained silent, their anger was undisguised.
In the past, it would have been fine, as the Three Young Kings were the personal disciples of the Three Grand Masters, and their strength and status were extraordinary.
But now that the Fire Division has produced such a prodigy as Lin Langtian, even Yuan Cang, the leader of the Three Young Kings, has been defeated by him, which has boosted the Fire Division's confidence. Every Fire Division disciple is proud of this.
However, the Three Young Kings continued to suppress and ostracize the Fire Division in the face of this situation, which inevitably aroused people's anger.
"Don't worry, the one who laughs last laughs best. In the future, my Fire Division may very well be able to dominate the scene..." Lin Langtian waved his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, and chuckled.
Upon hearing this, Song Yun and the others were taken aback, and then began to ponder the deeper meaning behind Lin Langtian's words...
"The Abyssal Demon Domain is about to open..."
While the Fire Division members were deep in thought, someone suddenly spoke up on the Abyssal Demon Plain.
Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian looked up and saw that visible ripples were beginning to appear on the spatial barrier in the distance.
This Abyssal Demon Domain is about to open.
On the vast, dark plain, the distorted space suddenly rippled like waves, and a terrifying fluctuation emanated from within that distorted space.
The crowd on the plains was stirred up again by this turn of events, with every gaze burning with fervor as they stared at the distorted space. Those familiar with this scene knew that it was a sign that the Abyssal Demon Domain was about to open.
Terrifying fluctuations spread across the sky at an astonishing speed, while the spatial barrier standing between heaven and earth in the distance became increasingly distorted.
"Senior Brother, when we enter the Abyssal Demon Domain later, we must keep our auras connected, otherwise we will be teleported away." Song Yun looked at the increasingly distorted space in the distance, looked at Lin Langtian, and said with a solemn and respectful expression.
Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian nodded slightly, then turned to the hundred Fire Division disciples and said, "Did you hear that?"
"I heard you!"
Upon hearing this, the many disciples of the Fire Division responded in a deep voice, and their expressions immediately became much more tense. They must have all heard about the dangers of the Abyssal Demon Domain Realm. In such a place, if one were to be teleported alone to a dangerous area, it would probably be a matter of life and death.
"When we came out, did we return the same way?" Lin Langtian asked again, his eyes fixed on the fluctuating area.
"Deep within the Abyssal Demon Domain, there is a place where an array has been set up. At that time, disciples from the Eight Great Super Sects will gather there from all directions to return to the Eastern Xuan Region," Song Yun said respectfully again.
Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian nodded.
Buzz!
As Lin Langtian and Song Yun were talking, the space in the distance twisted to its extreme, and then suddenly exploded, forming a Space Vortex.
"Whoosh!"
The instant the Space Vortex took shape, the sound of wind breaking through the sky almost instantly tore the heavens apart. Then, countless figures rushed out like locusts, eventually turning into a torrent that plunged into the distorted Space Vortex.
"Leave!"
Seeing this, Lin Langtian also stepped forward, and his soft shout resounded in the ears of every Fire Division disciple.
"Yes!"
Accompanied by a unified shout, powerful streams of Yuan energy immediately emanated from the bodies of the disciples. Then, these Yuan energies slowly merged, transforming into a ball of light that enveloped everyone.
"Walk."
Lin Langtian waved his hand, and with one horse in front of him, he shot forward. Behind him, Song Yun, Mo Tie, and a large group of Fire Division disciples immediately followed.
All the Fire Division disciples were enveloped in a dense rainbow light, appearing as if they were one. In the end, under the watchful eyes of many, they were plunged into the swirling Space Vortex and completely disappeared without a trace.
The darkness spread across the land, eventually reaching the horizon, making even the sky appear extremely gloomy and oppressive.
Call out!
This desolate wasteland had been silent for a long time when suddenly countless cracks appeared in the sky. Then, numerous lights and shadows burst out from those cracks, instantly shattering the desolate silence of this world.
Amidst the numerous cracks, a large burst of rainbow light suddenly shot out, eventually slowly descending to the ground. As the rainbow light dissipated, hundreds of figures were revealed, none other than the Fire Division disciples led by Lin Langtian.
"Is this the Abyssal Demon Domain?"
Upon landing, many of the Fire Division disciples couldn't help but look around, clearly extremely curious about this infamous and dangerous place.
"Upon entering the Abyssal Demon Domain, most people will be randomly teleported by Space Vortex to various peripheral areas of the Abyssal Demon Domain," Song Yun said after scanning the area.
Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian nodded slightly, then seemed to have discovered something and coldly shouted.
"Careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Langtian's expression hardened, and he stomped his foot hard on the ground. A terrifying force swept out and directly cracked the ground.
Beneath that crack, a dozen or so hideous Demonic Creature, their bodies pitch black and covered in sharp black spikes, revealed their blood-red giant eyes.
Swish!
Just as Lin Langtian discovered these Demonic Creature hidden underground, the surrounding earth suddenly collapsed, and countless extremely sharp giant black spikes pierced through the ground and stabbed towards the Fire Division disciples.
Having just landed, they were immediately met with such a fierce attack. Many of the Fire Division disciples were caught off guard. Fortunately, some outstanding disciples reacted quickly and immediately unleashed their powerful Yuan Power to frantically defend against the black spikes that were hurtling towards them.
Lin Langtian's eyes also turned cold. Immediately, Flame Armor rapidly condensed on the soles of his feet, and a surge of immense power erupted forth. Then, he stomped down angrily!
Bang bang bang!
The earth collapsed under his foot, and then the Fire Division disciples, their faces pale, saw that from the collapsed ground, one after another, pitch-black Demonic Creature with giant scarlet eyes surged out like a tide.
"It's Demon Ants..."
As Song Yun and the others gazed at the massive number of black Demonic Creature, their expressions gradually turned grim. They hadn't expected to encounter such troublesome creatures so soon after arriving in the Abyssal Demon Domain.
The earth shook violently, and then collapsed continuously, while black Demonic Creature, about the size of a human, surged out like a tide.
With sharp claws and teeth that gleamed with a chilling light, and a faint but extremely powerful energy emanating from them, these Demonic Creature clearly possessed immense strength.
However, it was clear that it wasn't just the Fire Division troops that were attacked by these Demonic Creature called Demon Ants. Not long after the commotion spread from there, some exclamations came from afar, followed by shrill screams, indicating that someone had already met with a terrible fate.
In an instant, this black wasteland became extremely chaotic.
Bang! Bang!
Holding the Black Tree, Lin Langtian swung it around, unleashing a fierce gust of wind that shattered the bones of the charging Demon Ants.
However, despite his fierce attacks, the Demon Ants were fearless and continued to swarm in, their sheer numbers causing Lin Langtian to frown slightly.
After the initial panic, the Fire Division disciples began to demonstrate their strength as disciples of the Super Sect, cooperating with each other to withstand the attacks of the Demon Ants.
However, some people were still injured, but fortunately, none of them were in mortal danger.
"Senior Brother, these Demon Ants are extremely numerous and have thick skin. If we stay here and waste our energy, we'll probably be devoured by them once we've exhausted our Yuan energy!"
After spewing flames from his mouth and incinerating several Demon Ants, Song Yun shouted at Lin Langtian with a solemn expression.
Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian looked at the dense sea of black ants and felt a slight headache.
The dangers of the Abyssal Demon Domain are indeed well-deserved. If he were alone, it wouldn't be difficult for him to escape, but clearly, he still has to protect his subordinates.
After all, these were his foundation and trusted followers in the Yuan Sect. If they were all lost, he would truly be left with nothing.
Thinking of this, Lin Langtian waved his sleeve, and a huge Beast Puppet figure immediately appeared.
With the appearance of this Beast Puppet, the entire world seemed to become much more oppressive. Even the frenzied Demon Ants seemed to feel a little uneasy and moved away from the Beast Puppet's radius of several hundred meters.
Looking at the imposing and oppressive monster before him, Lin Langtian nodded, then looked at the cold and ruthless man sitting at the top and gave the order.
"Demon Shadow, you cover the rear. These Demon Ants are yours..."
