The Ancient Buddha Script swelled with the wind in an instant, like a chaotic Buddhist mountain, and came crashing down.
The Purple Demon Race leader was terrified.
"Demonic Light Divine Flame!"
Shocking demonic flames surged from all over his body as he frantically attacked the Ancient Buddha Script. His full-force strike slammed into it, yet failed to shake it in the slightest!
Boom!
The Purple Demon Race leader was instantly smashed straight into the ground by the Ancient Buddha Script!
The entire Buddhist cave trembled without end.
The cave floor continuously cracked and split apart, spreading outward like one shocking rift after another.
The other Purple Demon Race experts who had been about to rush forward were so frightened that they all stopped. Staring at their leader, who had been smashed into the earth by the Ancient Buddha Script, they stood dumbfounded.
At that moment, the Ancient Buddha Script flew up and returned to Lu Yiping's hand.
The Purple Demon Race leader had been completely embedded in the ground, fused entirely with the earth. His flesh and blood had already been crushed into pulp.
All these changes had taken no more than the blink of an eye.
Seeing their leader suddenly blasted to death, the Purple Demon Race experts were stupefied, their minds blank.
A True God Realm expert, whose Divine Physique was as tough as an ordinary divine artifact, had actually been blasted into pulp in an instant.
Just as the Purple Demon Race experts stood petrified, Zhang Jin, Zhao Wen, Wei Bing, and Chen Yongyuan made their move. Their figures flickered, and sky-propping giant elephants condensed behind them.
"Heavenly Elephant Divine Prison Fist!"
They struck out at the same time.
Four mountain-like fist imprints tore through the air.
Nearly a hundred Purple Demon Race experts were sent flying in unison.
Miserable screams echoed throughout the Buddhist cave.
But very soon, the sounds came to an abrupt halt.
The entire Buddhist cave was stained with purple blood.
Lu Yiping recalled the purple blood on the Lord of All Gods' war blade. However, the purple blood on that blade was slightly different from that of the Purple Demon Race.
Afterward, Lu Yiping had Zhang Jin and the others collect the belongings of the Purple Demon Race experts. Then they left the Buddhist cave, exited Fire Dragon Temple, and continued toward the Baihua Empire.
Not long after Lu Yiping and the others left Fire Dragon Temple, batch after batch of Tan Family experts arrived.
When these Tan Family experts saw the Tan Family members strewn along the way, all their faces darkened.
"Who exactly killed so many experts of my Tan Family?!" A True God Realm Tan Family ancestor who had arrived roared, his eyes bloodshot.
However, when they followed the bloodstains into the depths of the Buddhist cave and saw the corpses of the Purple Demon Race experts, they could not help but freeze.
"Was it the Purple Demon Race?!"
"But who killed these Purple Demon Race experts?"
The Tan Family experts were filled with uncertainty and suspicion.
The next day.
Lu Yiping and the others arrived at the Black Sea of the Baihua Empire.
The waters of the Black Sea were as dark as ink, hence its name.
Black Sea Mountain stood in the center of the Black Sea.
Looking at the ink-like Black Sea before him, Lu Yiping recalled scenes from when his friend Chen Xiaotian had founded Asura Gate.
Back then, Lu Yiping had helped his friend Chen Xiaotian choose the site for Asura Gate, and they had chosen this Black Sea.
The Black Sea remained, but his old friend was gone.
After lingering for a while, Lu Yiping and the others flew toward Black Sea Mountain.
At this time, on Black Sea Mountain, Thousand Demon Sect Master Li Fei was directing the Thousand Demon Sect disciples as they carried out extensive construction.
Ever since the Thousand Demon Sect had destroyed Asura Gate and occupied this place, he had intended to turn it into one of the Thousand Demon Sect's most important branches.
This place lay in the Black Sea, surrounded by water on all sides. The spiritual energy of black water was abundant, making it exceptionally suitable for cultivating the Thousand Demon Sect's techniques.
After three years of continuous demolition, renovation, and reconstruction, Asura Gate's main hall had changed beyond recognition.
Li Fei looked at the newly refreshed Asura Gate main hall and the surrounding buildings with satisfaction. As he paced out of the main hall, he saw the statue of Asura Gate's ancestor, Chen Xiaotian, towering over the plaza before it, and frowned.
From this side of the main hall, one could see the Black Sea, and the scenery and view were excellent.
Yet this statue stood nearly a hundred meters tall, greatly obstructing the view from the main hall.
"Later, get to work and blast that statue to pieces. Tear it down," Li Fei told the Thousand Demon Sect experts beside him.
The Thousand Demon Sect experts exchanged glances upon hearing this.
"Sect Master, this statue of Asura Gate's ancestor is somewhat sinister," one Thousand Demon Sect expert said. "It contains a mysterious power. No one has been able to tear it down."
"Mysterious power?" Li Fei was surprised.
The Thousand Demon Sect expert nodded.
Li Fei pondered, then said, "Leave it alone for now. Later, Grand Elder Ke Jie of the Flying Flower Sect will come to inspect this place. I heard experts from the Martial God Hall will be accompanying her as well. Make preparations. Later, go out with me to receive them."
"Martial God Hall experts!" The Thousand Demon Sect experts were astonished.
Li Fei nodded with a smile. "It is Young Master Zhao Zihao of the Martial God Hall."
A commotion stirred among the crowd.
On the Divine Martial Continent, there were four great young masters: Wan Hong of the Wan Family, Zhao Zihao of the Martial God Hall, Yun Haitian of the Yun Family, and Chen Yuan of the Chen Family.
The Chen Family was the family of Chen Qingyang, the number one Formation Master of the Divine Martial Continent, and Chen Yuan was Chen Qingyang's son.
"So, when you accompany me to receive Young Master Zhao Zihao later, you must not make the slightest mistake. Understood?" Li Fei said solemnly.
The Thousand Demon Sect experts' hearts tightened, and all of them respectfully answered in affirmation.
Not long afterward, two figures came tearing through the air from the distant sea, a man and a woman. They were Grand Elder Ke Jie of the Flying Flower Sect and Zhao Zihao of the Martial God Hall.
The Thousand Demon Sect members, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly went forward as soon as they saw the two.
"Greetings, Lord Ke Jie!" Upon reaching them, Thousand Demon Sect Master Li Fei bowed down. "Young Master Zhao Zihao!"
Ke Jie told Li Fei and the others to rise. Then, accompanied by the Thousand Demon Sect experts, she and Zhao Zihao arrived at the Asura Plaza on Black Sea Mountain.
As she landed on Asura Plaza, Ke Jie looked up at the statue of the Asura Ancestor standing in the center of the plaza, her willow brows furrowing. "Have this stone statue removed."
Thousand Demon Sect Master Li Fei respectfully acknowledged the order. After hesitating, he said, "Lord Ke Jie, this stone statue of the Asura Ancestor is somewhat sinister. It contains a mysterious power and has stood for countless years without falling. It is difficult to remove."
Zhao Zihao of the Martial God Hall was surprised. His gaze fell upon the statue, light flashing in his eyes as he seemed to discover something. Taking a step, he arrived before the statue and circled it once. At times his brows drew tight, at times they relaxed, and then he shook his head.
"Young Master Zhao, you are an expert in array formations. Does this stone statue contain an array formation?" Seeing Zhao Zihao's expression, Ke Jie found it strange and asked.
Zhao Zihao pondered deeply before saying, "It resembles an array formation, yet it is not one. The method is somewhat similar to Luoxue City's Snow Gathering Array and Snow Dissipation Array."
Then he smiled. "But removing this stone statue will not be difficult. Let me try."
