Dark Clouds Pressed Down on the City, Threatening to Crush It

As he raced forward, Yang Jian's divine sense swept across all directions.

As he flew, a purple light suddenly shot out from between his eyebrows, then transformed into a huge array that spread out in all directions.

Within the array diagram, a beam of light suddenly appeared in the pitch-black void.

It was a dark shadow, a huge dark shadow.

Beside the shadowy figure, a dark cloud drifted slowly, but it was rapidly shrinking until it finally transformed into a figure—a figure that was none other than Yang Jian.

In Yang Jian's hand, he was holding a huge jade talisman.

This jade talisman contains the Essence Blood and Essence Blood of Cao Guojiu, which is being slowly refined and transformed into pure power that is being injected into the jade talisman.

Yang Jian didn't notice any of this, because there were so many Demon Beasts in this area that Yang Jian didn't need to pay attention to Demon Beast presence.

"Whoosh!"

Yang Jian's figure suddenly accelerated, and in the blink of an eye, he had already flown millions of miles away. In the distance, Yang Jian also saw a centipede.

"Kill!"

Yang Jian roared, then, wielding his longsword, he thrust it directly at the centipede, slashing it across the centipede's head.

With a "crack," the giant centipede's head was split in two.

The giant centipede let out a pitiful howl.

Then the enormous head fell to the ground, and the instant it hit the ground, a black light instantly flew into the enormous head.

It was a cold, black mist. As soon as the mist entered the giant centipede's head, the head vanished.

The cold, damp mist then transformed into a black line and burrowed into Yang Jian's brow.

The black line then merged into Yang Jian's sea of consciousness.

Within his sea of consciousness, a cloud of black mist was rapidly condensing, though at a slow pace.

Yang Jian's Divine Sense rapidly scanned the black mist within his sea of consciousness, and Yang Jian discovered that the black mist was none other than the nascent Nascent Soul of the centipede.

"Hahaha... I knew I was right! These guys really did want to possess me, and they even dared to dream of taking over my physical body! Too bad, you've miscalculated. My body is Chaos Divine Body; how could you possibly possess it!"

Immediately, Yang Jian's lips curled into a slight smile, revealing a disdainful expression, his heart filled with mockery.

Soon, the black mist had condensed completely, and Yang Jian swallowed it directly.

"Swallow it!"

When the black mist entered Yang Jian's abdomen, Yang Jian Divine Sense directly enveloped the black mist.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Yang Jian's expression changed slightly, because he discovered that this black mist was actually churning within his sea of consciousness.

"Could it be that this cloud of black mist wants to break out of my sea of consciousness? But my sea of consciousness has already been covered by my Divine Sense. You think you can break out? You're simply courting death!"

A mocking glint flashed in Yang Jian's eyes, and then his Divine Sense surged into the black mist.

"Ah!"

With a painful howl, a terrifying force burst forth from the black mist, rushing wildly outwards.

Unfortunately, Yang Jian's Divine Sense was firmly locked onto it; how could he possibly let it leave?

A golden barrier suddenly appeared in Yang Jian's sea of consciousness, blocking the black mist from entering.

"Pfft!"

Then, a golden sword light burst forth from Yang Jian's sea of consciousness, instantly piercing through the black mist.

Immediately afterwards, a golden sphere the size of a fist appeared in Yang Jian's hand; it was Yang Jian's Vajra Seal.

This Vajra Seal was forged by Yang Jian from the prayer beads of a Lingbao Jingang Luo Han statue. Its power is earth-shattering; even a Nascent Soul Realm expert would perish if they encountered it.

At this moment, Yang Jian held the Vajra Seal and immediately discovered that there were more and more Law Seals on the Vajra Seal, which looked like dense tadpole script.

"This stuff really does have amazing effects!"

Sensing the tadpole-like characters on the Vajra Seal, Yang Jian couldn't help but feel excited. He could clearly sense that the Vajra Seal contained a terrifying power, and within that power, there was a faint trace of Buddhist Order influence, which Yang Jian Buddhist Order somewhat familiar.

"It seems I still need to continue my cultivation. If only I could obtain another Buddhism relic, with its help I would be able to refine this Vajra Seal!"

Immediately, Yang Jian put away the Vajra Seal and continued flying forward.

Along the way, Yang Jian encountered many ferocious Demon Beast, but these Demon Beasts were nothing to Yang Jian. He killed them directly and obtained their demonic cores.

On this day, Yang Jian flew for a full day before finally arriving at the lair of the Demon Beast.

The lair of this Demon Beast was not large, only a few kilometers in size, but Yang Jian still sensed the presence of more than thirty Demon King here.

The most powerful Demon King among them had actually reached the peak of the Body Integration Realm, possessing formidable strength. Moreover, this time, there were actually more than forty Demon King at the Body Integration Realm.

However, Yang Jian was not afraid at all. If they wanted to possess Yang Jian's body, Yang Jian would not show any mercy and would devour them all.

Upon hearing Yang Jian's words, a look of surprise flashed across Cao Guojiu's face, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Do you really have a way to help us break through to the Saint Level?"

Upon seeing Cao Guojiu's appearance, Yang Jian nodded.

"Indeed, I do have a way to help you break through, but it requires a special environment: the Heavenly Fire Pool. As you know, the Heavenly Fire Pool is a bottomless abyss and a volcanic crater. If you want to enter, you must undergo a life-or-death trial, and you will also need to transcend tribulation! Only after transcending tribulation will your cultivation have a chance to advance to the Saint Level!"

Yang Jian spoke.

Upon hearing Yang Jian's words, Cao Guojiu's eyes lit up, and he nodded, saying, "Alright, I understand!"

"In that case, please proceed. I'll go make some preparations first, and then we'll set off!"

Yang Jian led Cao Guojiu down the mountain. When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, a young man walked towards them.

"Huh? You actually came back alive? That's beyond my expectations!" Upon seeing Cao Guojiu and the others, the young man was slightly taken aback, then said in surprise, his tone revealing a hint of shock.

"Hehe, just good luck!" Cao Guojiu said with a slight smile.
