Demonic Cultivator's Hidden Scheme

As Jiang Linglong recounted her story, Chen Nianzhi was filled with shock.

The higher the level of a cultivator, the more difficult it is to fight beyond their level. Chen Nianzhi had long understood the power of the Primordial Spirit Dao Lord, but he never expected that a mere Pure Yang Supreme Treasure would possess such power.

Seemingly understanding Chen Nianzhi's shock, Jiang Linglong calmly nodded and said:

"That Immortal Immortal-Refining Furnace is a Higher Vehicle -grade Pure Yang Supreme Treasure. It has slain more than one Outer Realm Demons at the Nascent Primordial Spirit Realm. It is enough to rank among the top ten Pure Yang Supreme Treasure in the Purple Yin Realm."

Chen Nianzhi nodded. This pure Pure Yang Supreme Treasure must have something extraordinary about it. After all, daring to use "Immortal Immortal-Refining Furnace" as its name shows an unparalleled spirit of daring to refine immortals and demons.

Looking at Demonflame Mountain, Jiang Linglong smiled and said, "It is said that a thousand years ago, the flames in this Demon Ape Mountain could even refine Golden Core True Person, but now they are strong enough for Golden Core True Person to pass through."

"It seems that in another one or two thousand years, the demonic flames here will gradually die out, and at that time, cultivators at the Purple Mansion and Foundation Establishment will be able to cross over and reach Star Continent."

"The demonic flames of Demonflame Ridge are extraordinary; we still need to be careful."

Chen Nianzhi nodded, and then the two began to venture deeper into Demonflame Ridge.

The terrain of Demonflame Ridge is complex, with raging demonic flames everywhere. Above, Demon Baleful Intent fire rises into the sky, forming a Demon Baleful Intent cloud that has not yet dissipated even after three thousand years.

Crossing the river horizontally was extremely difficult, so the two of them could only propel the Azure Sun Treasure Ark horizontally by following the moderate altitude.

However, due to the interference of the demonic flames, their flight speed was much slower, and their Law Power consumption increased dramatically.

In this desolate place, the two flew for a full month before finally crossing most of the Demonflame Ridge.

"In a few days, we will be crossing the Demonflame Ridge."

"This journey has been really tough."

As Chen Nianzhi spoke, she seemed slightly relieved.

The Demonflame Ridge has an extremely harsh environment; anyone with cultivation below the Golden Core realm realm simply cannot traverse it.

Although the two of them possessed profound Law Power, they still needed to constantly circulate their Law Power to resist the demonic flames in this environment, which was an extremely mentally taxing task.

"Wrong."

Suddenly, Chen Nianzhi frowned.

Jiang Linglong also stood up and exchanged a glance with Chen Nianzhi, her gaze grave as she said, "Judging from these array patterns, they seem to be Demonic Path array patterns."

Just a moment ago, they sensed the power of an array pattern, but how could there be the power of an array pattern in Demonflame Ridge?

The two were high-level array masters, so they naturally noticed something unusual at a glance.

Let's go take a look first.

As Chen Nianzhi spoke, she quietly concealed herself and flew away.

Before long, following the power of the array patterns, they found themselves atop a mountain range engulfed in flames.

The two observed the mountain range for a long time, and finally Chen Nianzhi showed a solemn expression and couldn't help but speak.

"I observe that this array pattern gathers boundless demonic flame power. Once the condensed power erupts, it will likely be earth-shattering, perhaps even threatening Nascent Soul True Lord."

Jiang Linglong nodded. Even with her Law Power, comparable to that of Pseudo-Nascent Soul realm, she felt a fatal threat from the power gathered at the center of the formation.

Following the contours of the mountains and rivers, the two deduced the formation. Finally Chen Nianzhi frowned and said, "The array here is set up using a blood sacrifice method, which must be Devil Cultivator technique."

"Which demon dares to set up such a sinister formation here, and what is its purpose?"

The two pondered for a long time, trying to figure out who had set up the formation.

The ability to set up such a formation must be the work of Nascent Soul level cultivator. With the Ji Clan in charge of the Ji Continent, almost all the surrounding Devil Cultivator are subservient.

The Black Fiend Ridge is destroyed almost every thousand years, and the Black Fiend Old Ancestor only came here in the last few hundred years.

Even so, the Black Fiend Old Ancestor was still trapped in the Black Fiend Demon Ridge by the Ji Clan and had no way to break free.

Under these circumstances, it would be almost impossible to find Nascent Soul Devil Cultivator capable of setting up an array here.

Jiang Linglong's eyes flickered slightly, then she suddenly said, "No, it doesn't necessarily require Nascent Soul Devil Cultivator to set up."

"Nascent Soul Devil Cultivator can completely refine the formation and lay out various backup plans, then have Golden Core realm Devil Cultivator set it up in their place."

Hearing her say that, Chen Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief, although this was something that only Devil Cultivator at the late Golden Core stage could do.

However, as long as they are not Nascent Soul Devil Cultivator, they are more than capable of handling it. Moreover, the Golden Core realm cultivators' cultivation is insufficient, and the formations they set up in place will inevitably have fatal flaws.

Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi said, "The demonic array here gathers the power of demonic flames, probably to condense the Demonflame Yin-Thunder Orb."

"The power of this thunder pearl is comparable to a strike from Nascent Soul, and if used for a sneak attack, it could even severely injure a Nascent Soul True Lord."

"It should be." Jiang Linglong deduced again, and after a while said, "Judging from the accumulated power of the formation, this formation should have been set up for a full three hundred years."

"The gathered Demonflame Yin-Thunder Orb should be nearing completion; the day of its completion is fast approaching."

Chen Nianzhi nodded, then calmly said, "Let's deduce the flaws in the formation and see if we can seize the centuries of hard work of the Devil Cultivator."

"Good."

Jiang Linglong nodded as well; the importance of the Tier 5 Thunder Pearl goes without saying.

If they could obtain one, their means of survival would be greatly enhanced, and they might even be slightly wary of Nascent Soul True Lord.

So they continued to deduce the formation, working on it for four or five months, but unfortunately they still couldn't find a flaw in it.

As the power of the Demonflame Yin-Thunder Orb grew stronger, they showed signs of anxiety.

Suddenly, Chen Nianzhi's eyes lit up slightly. "I have an idea."

"What method?" Jiang Linglong's eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

Chen Nianzhi smiled and said, "This formation was created by Nascent Soul Devil Cultivator. With our cultivation level, it's still too difficult for us to find a way to break through it."

"But since it wasn't arranged by the Nascent Soul Devil Cultivator themselves, they weren't actually aware of the overall situation of this mountain range."

"Therefore, we can find weaknesses in the terrain."

"Good idea."

Jiang Linglong showed a look of surprise, and then began to deduce the direction of the mountain.

After spending half a month, the two finally found a weakness in the mountain's terrain. They followed the contours of the mountain, digging deep into the earth, until they found a cave and finally climbed up.

Once inside the formation, the two concealed their presence and began their ascent to the mountain peak.

Who is it?

Suddenly, a surprised voice came from the mountaintop. A black-robed Golden Core realm Devil Cultivator looked astonished, never expecting that two cultivators would suddenly appear in the formation.

Jiang Linglong immediately attacked, unleashing the Heavenly Ruins Immortal-Slaying Sword.

The man summoned a Demon Treasure to block the attack, then tried to retreat, but the Heavenly Separation Twin Swords had already struck with a clang.

In the face of danger, he summoned a ' Black-Gold Blood Cauldron ' to try and defend himself, but Chen Nianzhi raised his hand and summoned the Primal Magnetism Treasure Mirror, which sucked him into the mirror in a flash.

"Oh no--"
