"There's a Calming Mind Demon Stone Calming Mind Demon Stone at the cave entrance, another inside the cave, and a cloud of black mist sealing the outside. If I'm not mistaken, the souls inside are using the Calming Mind Demon Stone to assimilate, constantly drawing in the black mist from outside and merging it into their own souls."
The Celestial Master Yuanling's eyes shone brightly, his expression filled with delight. "I wonder which genius came up with this method. If it succeeds, his soul will undergo a transformation. Not only will he be unaffected by inner demons, but he will also be able to devour them and strengthen himself."
"Devouring inner demons..."
Upon hearing Celestial Master Yuanling's words, Xu Long couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
He knew that the black energy sealed outside was most likely not a demon, but a Ghost Demons.
Compared to the Great Cataclysm of the ancient era and the war between the old and new gods in the Investiture of the Gods era, Ghost Demons were just insignificant things.
Yet these lowly creatures nearly wiped out humanity.
The King of Hell is easy to deal with, but his underlings are hard to handle.
The King of Hell doesn't care about the offenses of ants, but little devils specifically target vital points.
The chaos caused by Ghost Demons has threatened the entire human race, so it's not impossible that the ancient powerful beings came up with such a solution.
However, a problem arises: after assimilating the power of Ghost Demons, can he still maintain his human will?
What's the next step?
The Fire King asked a question, and then he and the Celestial Master Yuanling turned their attention to Xu Long.
Without a doubt, Xu Long is the true leader. Their ideas are just for reference. Whether to do something and how to do it are ultimately up to Xu Long.
"The seal outside has broken down. I've already killed that inner demon, and since he can't draw power from it, he'll be released sooner or later."
Xu Long placed his hand on the Calming Mind Demon Stone and used his Power of Extreme Yang, Absolute Yin to erase the runes on it.
To achieve the Shocker goal of assimilating Ghost Demons, the main reliance is on the runes on the Calming Mind Demon Stone.
Although Xu Long couldn't understand the meaning, he knew it belonged to the category of formations.
The Calming Mind Demon Stone is very hard, so Xu Long doesn't need to be careful; he can simply and roughly erase the runes on it.
call!
As the last rune disappeared, the oppressive feeling that had been lingering in his soul vanished instantly.
If Xu Long thought so, then the Fire King and the Celestial Master Yuanling must have thought so too.
After putting away the second Calming Mind Demon Stone, Xu Long looked at the end of the passage ahead, where another path quietly appeared.
"This should be the final location."
Xu Long and his two companions entered and quickly reached the end.
This is a large underground cavity, thirty meters high, and over a hundred meters long and wide.
The surrounding stone walls were densely covered with runes, and streaks of light flashed continuously.
The ground was also covered with countless runes, arranged in the shape of the Tai Chi symbol.
In the very center is a standing coffin.
"Is this the ancient powerhouse who intended to assimilate the Ghost Demons?"
Xu Long turned to look at Celestial Master Yuanling; of the three, he was probably the only one who understood formations.
"The array on the walls and the ground is connected; to move or open the coffin, the connection with the array must be broken first. Give me some time; it shouldn't be a problem."
As he spoke, the Celestial Master Yuanling began to study the runes.
This place is located some unknown depth underground, above which stands a giant peak, and surrounded by numerous human settlements.
If a problem arises, it's impossible to know how many people will lose their lives.
Although Xu Long is ruthless and cruel, he is still very kind to his compatriots.
If they were in other places, such as the Rice Country, Japan, or Hanguo, Xu Long wouldn't mind letting them experience the cruelty of society.
"After I break through the core of the formation, it will take about three minutes for the formation to collapse. Take the coffin and leave immediately, as far away as possible, the farther away from China, the better."
Celestial Master Yuanling said very seriously.
"I see."
Xu Long nodded.
"Prepare..."
The Celestial Master Yuanling took a deep breath and then pressed his finger firmly onto a rune.
boom!
A problem occurred at the central node of the formation, causing a conflict in the energy operation of the entire formation.
After a muffled explosion, the array carved on the ground collapsed instantly.
At the same time, a terrifying fluctuation appeared out of nowhere. The runes on the coffin and stone wall seemed unable to withstand this power and began to shatter rapidly.
"Get out of here!"
Celestial Master Yuanling let out a low roar and immediately made way for Xu Long to escape.
However, Xu Long didn't seem to need it. He reached out and placed his hand on the coffin, instantly disappearing from the spot.
The influx of numerous Fragment World made the space of the Main World extremely stable, preventing Xu Long from using Instant Transmission at will, although he could still teleport over short distances of a dozen kilometers.
After emerging from underground, Xu Long carried the coffin and immediately flew eastward.
He could sense that the person inside the coffin was rapidly waking up and would break free of their restraints in less than three minutes.
Xu Long wasn't the kind of fool who liked fair duels; if he could, he would strike first before the person inside woke up.
However, this outer coffin both bound the person inside and protected them.
If Xu Long attacks, the people inside will immediately wake up.
After speeding along, Xu Long ultimately chose to land in Japan.
It wasn't that he was determined to harm these scumbags, but rather that he had no other choice.
After numerous Fragment World Fusion into the Earth, its size increased significantly.
With Xu Long's abilities, flying from China to North America in two minutes would be easy, but right now he can barely fly to Japan.
Xu Long moved with incredible speed, his Internal Force forming a defense in front of him, unstoppable and invincible.
A fish leaped joyfully from the water, only to be smashed into a cloud of blood mist.
It never dreamed that it would die not from the jaws of its predator, but from a car accident.
Several seagulls circled in the air, spotted their prey, and were about to pounce when they were crashed into and killed.
Upon reaching Japan airspace, a fighter jet flew in from the opposite direction and was rammed into a fireball.
In the North Sea Country General Staff, a seemingly arrogant man stared intently at the screen in front of him, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
The North Sea Kingdom was once part of Hokkaido Japan. When Xu Long fought the Yamata no Yamata no Orochi, he destroyed the entire Honshu, and the Emperor and Prime Minister were also killed.
Without constraints, Hokkaido in northern Honshu simply became an independent country, followed by Shikoku Island and Kyushu Island in the south.
One is called Kyushu Country, and the other is called Shikoku Country.
This man is named Guitou Zhenda. He used to be the captain of the North Sea Kingdom Self-Defense Forces. After Honshu Island was destroyed, he became the undisputed boss of Hokkaido.
Who is this person? Why does he look so familiar?
"The Guitou Zhenda," he asked.
"He was moving too fast to make out his features. But since he came from the west, he should be China."
The subordinate beside him immediately analyzed the situation.
