The End, Opening the Cave Abode
The killing runes engraved all over the ship lit up one after another as the Extreme Crossing Boat absorbed and exhaled the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. With each rune that lit up, a bolt of Divine Firmament Divine Lightning struck down from the sky, accurately hitting the heads of those powerful Demon Beast.
No matter how the Demon Beast defended themselves, they could not withstand the divine lightning containing High Antiquity killing power. Their inner cores shattered, and their bodies crashed to the ground, causing the earth to tremble violently.
The star network of the Extreme Crossing Boat continuously gathers the scattered ferocious beasts towards the center, clearing the most precise range for the killing formation.
The divine fire and blade array on the Extreme Crossing Boat could always shatter the most ferocious beasts the moment they were impacted by the star network.
The two Extreme Crossing Boat, one defending and the other attacking, one locking and the other striking, coordinated perfectly.
At times, the two boats would pass each other, drawing a cross-shaped killing formation, within which all the ferocious beasts were pulverized into nothingness by the power of the stars and the force of slaughter.
Sometimes the two boats would connect end to end, forming a closed loop of torrent, rushing along the edge of the beast tide, leaving no survivors in their wake.
In less than half an incense stick's time, the once overwhelming beast tide had been reduced to less than half.
The roars of ferocious beasts filling the sky gradually turned into mournful howls and panicked flight.
But the star network of the Extreme Crossing Boat had already blocked all escape routes. Moving forward, they faced relentless slaughter; moving backward, they faced the star network's inescapable strangulation.
Thousands of ferocious beasts were trapped like turtles in a jar under the overwhelming power of the two Extreme Crossing Boat.
Li Yunjing's eyes remained calm. He immediately summoned Mo Xuan and asked him to contact the people on the other Extreme Crossing Boat.
Before long, the two Extreme Crossing Boat suddenly accelerated, like two streaks of light piercing the sky and the earth, rushing straight into the direction where the beast tide was most concentrated.
The Taotie beast head on the Extreme Crossing Boat opened again, and this time what erupted was not a wave of fire, but a beam of light condensed to the extreme, which slammed straight into the beast tide.
At the same time, the star network of the other Extreme Crossing Boat contracted inward, and billions of threads of star power transformed into the sharpest blades, tearing apart the remaining ferocious beasts trapped within.
Blood rain fell from the sky, staining the vast land of Falling Cloud Mountain red.
At this moment, Falling Cloud Mountain did indeed resemble a sunset.
As the last ferocious beast's howl faded into the wind, the blood mist slowly dissipated, and the two Extreme Crossing Boat floated silently in the void, their hulls untouched by blood, the light of the runes gradually fading.
Li Yunjing stood on the deck, glancing down at the remains of the ferocious beasts scattered on the ground below.
"As expected of the Great Wilderness, such ferocity of beast tides is almost impossible to see within the Five Provinces!" Li Yunjing muttered to himself.
Beast tides have occurred before in the Five Provinces.
The most recent one was five hundred years ago, and the location was in Flying Immortal Prefecture.
In the northern part of Flying Immortal Prefecture lies a deep abyss, where many ferocious and vicious Demon Beast roam.
The beast tide that occurred five hundred years ago was caused by the emergence of Demon Beast from the abyss.
However, that beast tide was not large in scale, and was led by only one Spirit Communication Demon Beast.
This beast tide is different; Spirit Communication Demon Beast are everywhere.
"Fortunately, we have the Extreme Crossing Boat. If we had to rely on people to deal with the beast tide..." Li Yunjing shook his head.
This wasn't the first time he had witnessed the power of the Extreme Crossing Boat.
Just then, Zhang Jianchen had taught Li Yunjing the method for forging the Extreme Crossing Boat.
Li Yunjing only needs to find a suitable weapon refiner to forge the Extreme Crossing Boat that belongs to the Luozhen Sect.
Unfortunately, good weapon refiners are hard to find, Li Yunjing is still trying to find a solution.
Having abandoned his thoughts, Li Yunjing ordered the two Extreme Crossing Boat to continue forward.
The sounds from deep within Falling Cloud Mountain have gradually subsided.
When the two Extreme Crossing Boat arrived, the ground was littered with the corpses of Demon Beast.
Most of the Demon Beast are at the Spirit Communication Realm Demon Beast, while a small number are at the Spirit Concentration Realm.
Xie Zheng and the other Spirit Transformation cultivators were sitting cross-legged, absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to replenish their energy.
The Extreme Crossing Boat landed slowly, but Li Yunjing did not leave Extreme Crossing Boat immediately.
First, he checked if the surroundings were safe. After confirming that there was no danger, Li Yunjing then disembarked from the Extreme Crossing Boat.
Before long, Xie Zheng and the other Spirit Transformation cultivators had also finished their meditation.
Li Yunjing immediately stepped forward.
"Senior Xie. Where is Grandmaster Fang?"
Li Yunjing did not see Fang Hexuan among this group of Spirit Transformation cultivators.
Xie Zheng was also confused. He looked around and was immediately surprised.
"Wait a minute, they were just with us!"
Clearly, Xie Zheng didn't know where Fang Hexuan had gone either.
Li Yunjing asked the other Spirit Transformation cultivators, but they also didn't know Fang Hexuan had gone.
Li Yunjing frowned immediately.
Nangong Chengyu then walked over and said, "Don't worry, Grandmaster Fang's cultivation is high enough. As long as he doesn't encounter someone at the Dao Integration Realm, he should be fine."
Since we are still alive and well, it means that no one at the Dao Integration Realm has appeared.
"Perhaps Grandmaster Fang made some discovery but went to investigate on his own without informing us."
Li Yunjing nodded slightly; Nangong Chengyu's words were not without reason.
For beings at the Dao Integration Realm, killing them would be too easy, a mere formality.
Even the Extreme Crossing Boat couldn't protect them.
Since they are still alive, then there are indeed no beings at the Dao Integration Realm who have appeared.
Li Yunjing cleared his mind of distractions and continued, "Never mind the rest for now. We can't waste these Demon Beast corpses scattered all over the ground. Take everything we can."
Li Yunjing instructed the Luozhen Sect disciples who had followed him to begin cleaning up the battlefield.
These Demon Beast corpses scattered all over the ground are excellent materials.
The flesh of Demon Beast contains abundant spiritual energy, making it excellent for cooking.
The inner cores of Demon Beast can be refined into elixirs, and their teeth, scales, and other parts can be used to forge weapons.
After giving these instructions, Li Yunjing took out the small seal.
He was going to open the cave abode of the Nine-Headed Demon King.
In an instant, the small seal, which had been silent as an inanimate object, suddenly burst forth with a deep hum. The patterns on the base of the crimson gold seal flowed with spiritual energy as if they were alive, and a dark, demonic light emanated from the patterns.
Suddenly, the void trembled violently, and rings of restrictions abruptly flowed out from the void.
The restriction that had been dormant for three thousand years suddenly awakened, and countless dark golden demonic runes surged out of the void, covering the space in front of everyone like a tide, while the overwhelming Yao Qi rose into the sky like a tsunami.
Li Yunjing remained expressionless, flipped his palm, and pushed the small seal forward.
The small seal suddenly rose into the air, hovering before the restriction, and in an instant, its demonic light surged!
The originally ferocious and malevolent restrictive runes, upon touching the light of the small seal, instantly shed all their ferocity, like subjects before their king, bowing down in submission. The distorted void also slowly calmed down.
At this moment, a phantom image of a demonic wolf, tens of feet tall, suddenly condensed in the sky. Its large, copper-bell-sized eyes gleamed with a scarlet, ferocious light. It had nine heads and let out a roar that shook mountains and shattered rocks.
This is half a remnant soul of the Nine-Headed Demon King.
It has the appearance but no power whatsoever.
The Nine-Headed Demon King looked at the group of humans holding the heirlooms he had left behind, and sadness filled the eyes of all nine heads.
In an instant, the remnant soul collapsed on its own.
The moment the remnant soul dissipated, the restrictions on the entire void completely lost their power to resist.
"Boom--"
A deafening roar echoed across the sky, and the void covered with demonic runes slowly cracked open, revealing a thick stone gate that was tens of feet high and nearly ten feet wide.
The Dao Union Demon Patterns on the stone gate lit up one by one under the influence of the small seal, and the stone gate slowly but irresistibly opened to both sides.
In an instant, a surge of pure Spiritual Qi, dozens of times richer than the outside world, mixed with the fragrance of spirit medicine and a precious glow, rushed towards us...
