Tier-Five Thunder Orb

Although the Devil Cultivator had reached the Golden Core Middle Stage, he was caught off guard by the two's sneak attack and was unable to defend himself. Half of his body was severed by a single sword strike.

This person still tried to escape, but Jiang Linglong's Six Directions Eight Desolations Cauldron suppressed him, capturing him into the cauldron in one move.

"Don't kill anyone yet."

Chen Nianzhi spoke loudly, and Jiang Linglong's heart stirred upon hearing this, so she spared the man's life.

Seeing the demon suppressed within the cauldron, Chen Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This Devil Cultivator must have Nascent Soul demon behind him who laid such a trap."

"This demon is only at the Golden Core Middle Stage, so theoretically he shouldn't be able to set up an array in place of Nascent Soul Devil Cultivator."

Jiang Linglong's eyes sharpened, and she said, "It seems that the one who set up the formation is not this demon, but someone else entirely."

"Let's see if we can find any information from this demon."

Chen Nianzhi nodded and took out a Soul-Seizing Talisman.

The Soul-Seizing Talisman can capture a cultivator's soul and memories. However, this talisman is too domineering and insidious. Once the soul is captured by this talisman, the person afflicted will suffer a collapse of Divine Sense and lose all memories.

In fact, there was no need to be particular about dealing with such Devil Cultivator; they simply used the Soul-Seizing Talisman.

After the two of them absorbed the demon's memories into the talisman and examined it, Chen Nianzhi's expression turned solemn.

It turns out that this demon's name is Lin Mingshan, and he is one of the disciples of the Black Fiend Old Ancestor.

"I never expected that the Black Fiend Old Devil had such a backup plan."

"If we hadn't discovered him, he might have actually escaped."

Jiang Linglong also said with some seriousness, "It turns out that the Black Fiend Old Ancestor has been plotting in the Demonflame Ridge for many years."

Although the Black Fiend Old Ancestor has been trapped in the Black Fiend Demon Ridge for many years, he has sent his disciples to set up two hidden traps there.

Among these two hidden weapons, besides the ' Demonflame Thunder-Gathering Formation ' in front of us, there is also a ' Netherworld Void-Crossing Formation '.

The Netherworld Void-Crossing Formation is an extremely special Teleportation Array array. It can use the power of the demonic flames here to secretly lure the Black Fiend Old Ancestor here, without the knowledge of the Ji Clan True Lord.

For years, the eldest disciple of the Black Fiend Old Ancestor had been hiding in the Demonflame Ridge, secretly setting up formations for the Black Fiend Old Ancestor Black Fiend Old Ancestor, hoping to bring him over in the future.

Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi said in shock, "If the Black Fiend Ancestor manages to deceive the Ji Clan True Monarch, wouldn't he be able to launch a sneak attack on the Ji Clan Chief when he breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, and deliver a fatal blow to him quietly?"

"This would indeed only increase the uncertainty."

Jiang Linglong's gaze also turned serious; the sheer number of methods employed by high-level demons was truly terrifying.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but say, "It's a good thing you didn't kill this demon, otherwise the Black Fiend Old Ancestor would definitely have been alerted, and that would have completely alerted him."

"Yes, but Nascent Soul Devil Cultivator possess extraordinary abilities; we probably can't keep this a secret for long."

Chen Nianzhi said with a solemn expression, "That Black Fiend Old Ancestor is a top-tier Devil Cultivator in the Nascent Soul Late Stage. His various methods are simply unpredictable. We can't be too cautious when facing such a being."

With this thought in mind, Chen Nianzhi said, "We must act quickly and destroy the Black Fiend Old Ancestor's Netherworld Void-Crossing Formation quietly."

"Otherwise, by the time Black Fiend Old Ancestor realizes something is wrong, it will be too late for us to take action."

"Good."

Jiang Linglong nodded, but then pondered and said, "However, the Black Fiend Old Ancestor's eldest disciple Blackfire True Person, is stationed within that Netherworld Void-Crossing Formation."

"This Devil Cultivator has reached the Golden Core Grand Completion; dealing with it will likely not be easy."

"It's not difficult."

Chen Nianzhi smiled and said, "We can impersonate this demon to send a message and lure Blackfire True Person out."

This is, after all, the harsh environment of Demonflame Ridge, where treasures are often destroyed quickly, requiring constant maintenance to keep the formation running.

Judging from the memories captured by the Soul-Seizing Talisman, this Demonflame Thunder-Gathering Formation suffers damage every few decades, requiring Blackfire True Person to repair it.

Every so often, Lin Old Devil would invite Blackfire True Person to repair the formation; this had almost become a routine.

Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi found a black Treasure Talisman in Lin Old Devil's Storage Bag and said, "This Demon Fiend Communication Talisman is the communication tool between Lin Old Devil and Blackfire True Person. We will use this talisman to trick him out."

"That's a good idea."

Jiang Linglong nodded, and the two decided to use the Demon Fiend Communication Talisman to lure out the Blackfire True Person.

This Demon Baleful Intent Swiftness Talisman was made from the human skin of the Purple Mansion cultivator. It is extremely vicious and cruel. If it weren't for the need to lure out Blackfire True Person, they would never have used such an evil object.

The two activated the Demon Fiend Communication Talisman, and then did not wait for Blackfire True Person to arrive.

They reached the summit and found the Demonflame Yin-Thunder Orb, which was brewing at the core of the formation.

Within the core of the formation, a black and red sphere flashed with crimson and black lightning, faintly possessing a power that seemed poised to tear through the void.

"This Thunder Pearl has reached the Tier 5 low-level quality."

"If it continues to develop, it might reach the Tier 5 Middle Grade, or even the Tier 5 Upper Grade."

Chen Nianzhi's pupils dilated, and she couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Of course, it would probably take another three hundred years for this Thunder Pearl to reach the Tier 5 Middle Grade. If it were to reach the Tier 5 Upper Grade, it would not only take a thousand years, but also require the Black Fiend Old Ancestor to personally perform a ritual to succeed.

To avoid alerting the Black Fiend Old Ancestor, the two did not immediately remove the Thunder Pearl, but instead began to control the formation here.

With the Soul-Seizing Talisman in place, controlling this formation was not difficult for the two of them.

It was during this process that Chen Nianzhi discovered that most of the formations here used extremely vicious Devil Cultivator methods.

These mere seven array flags were woven from the hair of millions of ordinary people; they were truly incredibly vicious and cruel.

"To set up this formation, the Devil Cultivator probably slaughtered more than one Golden Core Immortal Clan."

After examining the formation, Jiang Linglong couldn't help but let a hint of murderous intent flash in her eyes.

To use such vicious methods against their own kind, the Devil Cultivator of this realm are truly inhuman and unworthy of being called human.

Chen Nianzhi's gaze was also icy as she coldly stated, "In this world, Devil Cultivator deserve to be killed even more than the Demon Race."

Both men were brimming with murderous intent intent, further solidifying their resolve to thwart the Black Fiend Old Ancestor's scheme and kill Blackfire True Person.

Half a month passed quickly, and a figure wreathed in black flames soared into the sky, crossing the void in the distance.

"Junior Brother Lin, what happened to the formation this time?"

Hei Sha paused slightly, then Chen Nianzhi imitated Lin Old Devil's voice, saying, "Senior Brother Hei Huo, one of our array flags was burned by demonic fire and needs to be replaced."

"Oh."

Just as Blackfire True Person was about to step into the formation, he suddenly paused slightly.

As expected of a high-level cultivator, Blackfire True Person noticed something amiss, and his gaze turned towards Chen Nianzhi atop the mountain peak.

Who exactly are you?

"Do it."
