Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil
Void Devil Field: Thousand-Layer Wall
The second type of Void Devil Field devoured by the Hu Mang.
It was also one of the few defensive magic fields that he had carefully selected.
Once the demonic field unfolded, strands of Demonic Qi from the void transformed into spatial folds.
After the Hu Mang devoured the "Thousand-Layer Wall," the true form of this Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil appeared in its mind.
The demon's true form was formless and intangible, yet it transformed its demonic thoughts into countless pieces of void armor. These pieces adhered to each other, forming this thousand-layered void wall, which wandered in this outer void.
It wasn't until he broke into this void passage that he was killed by a single, dazzling sword light, as clear as the moon.
Although he was killed by a single sword strike, it was a strike from High Antiquity sword immortal.
This has absolutely nothing to do with the Void Demon's weak defense.
Hu Mang himself had tested it, and unless he used his two new ancient treasures, even with the "Tribulation-Breaking Divine Spear," it would take at least two shots to break through this layer of defense.
In other words, even a sword immortal who has cultivated to the Yin Spirit level would need to withstand two sword strikes from Hu Mang before his defenses could be breached.
This level of defense is already top-tier for the current Hu Mang species.
Unless it's some kind of defensive magic Law Treasure, he can't think of anything with stronger defense than him at this stage.
Unless someone can cultivate the "Azure Mysterious Realm Forbidden Method" during the Refining Essence into Qi stage... that would truly be a ghost story.
Of course, considering that there are many abnormal beings in the Azure Mysterious Realm, Hu Mang has reservations about this for the time being.
While devouring the second type of "Void Devil Field", he clearly felt a sense of fullness.
"Logically speaking, I've awakened three demonic veins, so I should be able to absorb three types of 'Void Devil Field Evolutions,' but the quality of the 'Demonic Fields' in this Demon Cave seems too high; my artificial bloodline seems to be struggling to cope."
"If I could awaken a few more demonic veins, I might be able to devour one or two more 'Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil corpses,' but it seems impossible now, unless I want to Qi Deviation."
Although he felt he could force himself to eat it, the Hu Mang believed he could also swallow a kind of "Void Devil Field".
But if you do that, either you'll be affected by the Void Devil Field and forcibly awaken a demonic vein, or you'll suffer Qi Deviation.
After consuming two "Void Devil Field".
The Hu Mang had essentially absorbed a portion of the Heavenly Demon's consciousness.
He naturally understood that the so-called "Void Devil Field" was either an unformed Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil or Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil that had already taken shape but was killed by the High Antiquity sword immortal.
Considering that this void passage was caused by an invasion of Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil, the latter seems more likely.
The Hu Mang didn't want to eat too much and cause the consciousness of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil to revive within its body.
"That's enough. Brother Wei should have grasped the sword intent by now. He should rein in his demonic intent to avoid being detected by this guy's 'Slay Ghost God'."
Hu Mang decided to continue dispersing his power.
This also allows for the complete digestion of any potential Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil consciousness.
A moment later, the Hu Mang in the Profound Yin True Scripture returned to the fourth level and began to head towards the direction blessed by "Earth Virtue".
However, the Hu Mang soon sensed something strange.
That is, during the process of returning, the "Void Devil Field" that was sensed was much less.
Compared to the situation I've been encountering one every two steps these past two days, the density is extremely low.
Moreover, with the help of the newly evolved "Void Devil Field: Thousand-Layer Wall", the Hu Mang sensed a familiar fluctuation of void Demonic Qi.
This fluctuation is particularly pronounced.
"That's strange. If the Void Devil Path has truly been opened, won't the number of these 'Void Devil Field' increase dramatically?"
According to Senior Brother Lu, these seals of Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil that were suppressed in various parts of the Azure Mysterious Realm have been broken before.
Once breached, one or more Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil races will invade the Azure Mysterious Realm; this is a classic example of a demon invasion.
In general, when this situation arises, the local major sects will step in first; if they can't hold out, then the masters of the orthodox and Buddhist sects will step in.
Once this news reaches the ears of those practicing demonic arts, those demonic sects will inevitably get involved, attempting to create an even larger rift and then transform this area into a demonic realm.
Once the transformation is successful, this place will become a new stronghold of the demonic path, and even righteous masters will be unable to do anything about it.
After all, the righteous leaders can't really destroy the world and completely annihilate this place.
And that's how those "little demon kingdoms" in the Central Continent came about.
In this scenario, the situation would evolve from "sealing and maintaining" to "a war between good and evil."
Thinking of this, Hu Mang's expression also turned serious.
Could it be that some demonic cultivator has secretly infiltrated the seal?
The reduction in Void Devil Field —could it be that someone used the corpses of Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil as a blood sacrifice to open a void passage?
Hu Mang immediately thought of the corpses of the demonic sect members who had been cut into seven or eight pieces by Senior Brother Wei.
Or did this guy come back to life?
With this thought in mind, Hu Mang immediately took out a "message flying sword," one of the three basic pieces for the Mysterious Peak Sect. He infused it with his Divine Sense, left a message, and then flicked his finger. The "flying sword" turned into a beam of light and disappeared. He then headed straight for the direction where the "aura of the void" was located.
Admittedly, among the three paths of righteousness, demonism, and Buddhism, the major sects of the Primordial Era are relatively neutral and generally do not participate in the conflict between righteousness and demonism.
However, the Mysterious Peak Sect belongs to the type that follows the righteous path.
The reason isn't complicated: it's because you, the demonic cultivators, are destroying the natural environment!
As a sect that relies on building and cultivating in this world to accumulate merit, just one Demon Realm alone has ruined countless natural cultivation environments.
An area thoroughly polluted by Demonic Qi is not easily repaired, especially since even if it is repaired, the heavens and earth of that area will be damaged, and merits will not be easily bestowed upon it.
Damn it, my KP!
Moreover, putting everything else aside, once the Void Devil Path is activated, wouldn't my introductory mission be doomed to failure?
Although I practice Devil Cultivation Method, my heart is with the Mysterious Peak Sect, even though I'm in the demonic path.
He had no interest in knowing what would happen if he failed the introductory task.
Hu Mang followed the aura of the void deeper and deeper, his expression growing increasingly serious.
The surrounding environment is subtly changing.
The originally rough rock wall gradually became smooth, as if it had been scorched by some high temperature, and its surface shimmered with a layer of charred, glassy luster.
The ground beneath our feet was not ordinary mountain rock, but a dark red texture, like solidified lava, which felt slightly hot to the touch, as if something was slowly flowing deep underground.
He slowed down and turned the last corner.
Then he saw the crack.
It was a crack suspended in the void, about ten feet long and half a foot wide, like a tattered cloth torn apart by a tremendous force.
The inside of the crack was a darkness, a darkness unlike the deep darkness of Demonic Qi. It was an endless void where even light itself seemed to be swallowed up, making one feel as if their soul would be sucked in with just a glance.
On the ground directly below the crack, the Hu Mang saw a corpse.
It was a human-shaped body, with limbs outstretched and face up to the sky.
His skin was a dull, withered color, covered with countless cracks, like a dried-up riverbed.
Strands of demonic Demonic Qi seeped from the cracks, rising slowly as if drawn by an invisible force, and flowing into the fissures.
Moreover, the face of the corpse looked very familiar; it was the same one that had been discovered before.
"Not a blood sacrifice to the Void Devil Field? But a blood sacrifice to this person of the demonic path?"
"Wasn't this guy chopped into seven or eight pieces?"
Although Hu Mang was considered half a member of the demonic path in Heavenly Gate, he still didn't quite understand the demonic practices of this realm.
After all, the last time he saw this guy, he was already burned to a crisp.
He couldn't understand how it could be resurrected.
However, Hu Mang also knew that if the other party continued like this, and if the Void Devil Path was actually opened, things would get really messy.
Looking into the other's dry eyes, Hu Mang's heart stirred. He once again enveloped his entire body with Profound Yin Devil Qi and stealthily crept over.
Within the body, the Three Flowers merged into one, enhancing the "Five Sacred Mountains Bearing Gang Method".
Although the three Mysterious Peak Sect methods practiced by Hu Mang are all related to earth and wood, no one stipulates that earth and wood methods cannot be used for combat.
The next moment, the third level of the "Five Sacred Mountains Bearing Gang Method, " The Five Sacred Mountains Bear Together, " was manifested, and the phantoms of five great mountains landed directly on the opponent.
The phantoms of the five mountains shifted from illusion to reality, from faint to vivid, as if five real mountains had descended from the sky.
The void underwent a visible distortion.
Hu Mang directly pressed the entire weight of Grand Gate Mountain onto his opponent.
The next moment, the "Heavenly Thunder Spear Net" from the Four Demon-Subduing Forms was unleashed.
A dense barrage of spear shadows erupted from his hand, each shadow carrying a wisp of lightning, like countless silver snakes slithering through the void.
The gun shadows intertwined and collided in mid-air, transforming into a massive Thunder Net, carrying the destructive aura of heavenly tribulation, almost enveloping the entire surrounding space.
The Thunder Net covered the connection between the cracks in the corpse, and each bolt of lightning struck the dark red array precisely, burning and breaking the lines one by one.
Sha Qi flashed in Hu Mang's eyes. He spun the "Shattering Thunder Great Spear" in his hand, and in the next instant, the corpse of this member of the demonic sect split into hundreds of pieces, which shot in all directions.
Each fragment was scorched into charred ash by the lightning as it flew through the air, completely annihilated before it even hit the ground, leaving not a trace behind.
And that "void rift" was immediately half-filled.
However, the surrounding demonic intent not only did not weaken, but instead surged rapidly.
A figure composed of Demonic Qi appeared in the void. Although it was still pressed down by the mountain and could not move, the Demonic Qi on its body was even more turbulent than before.
Seeing this, Hu Mang lunged forward without saying a word.
Golden Buddhist light condensed into a huge swastika in his palm, carrying a majestic and righteous power to subdue demons, and slammed it down on the forehead of the Demonic Qi.
Zen Divine Ability - the Nine-Character Great Hand Seal
Boom--!
A deep, muffled explosion resounded in the cave.
The Demonic Qi figure was struck by the Buddhist seal, and its entire body trembled violently. The Demonic Qi on its surface melted away rapidly, like snow being doused with boiling water, revealing a chaotic core inside, as thick as ink.
However, the next moment, countless demonic eyes suddenly sprouted from the core of this mass. The dark red pupils of all the demonic eyes stared intently at the Hu Mang, filled with resentment and anger.
