The mortal's candle dragon opens the sky

Ancient Demon Realm, Bloodstone Mountains.

Ever since hundreds of years ago, when the rituals of the spirit world and the demon world returned and began to attract and intersect with each other, several saints in the demon world who were good at calculating the mysteries of the universe worked together to deduce that this was one of the future space channels and one of the entrances to bring down the "magic spot" on the spirit world.

Invading the spirit world to escape from the mother of borers is the only way out that the upper echelons of the demon world can think of now. Even though there are doubting voices among all the saints of the demon world, no eggs will be left unbroken when the nest is overturned. Under tacit understanding, even if some saints are not very impressed with the plan set by the three great ancestors, there are very few acts of open disobedience and obstruction.

How can we invade a world that is no less in area, strength, and background than our own world by just talking and acting rashly?
In the secular world, there is a saying that food and fodder must be prepared before troops move forward. For a major event like a cross-border war, the things that need to be prepared are far more than that.

Therefore, only a few hundred years had passed since the ritual changes in the spiritual and demonic worlds, and the Bloodstone Mountains, which were originally a dark and desolate mountain range stretching as far as the eye could see, were now covered with fortresses of all sizes, numbering dozens and hundreds, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, which could almost be called boundless.

The large fortress was hundreds of miles wide, surrounded by gray walls and light curtains. Countless black lights were hidden in the deeper buildings. Teams of demon soldiers holding weapons could be seen everywhere on the city walls. Their faces were extremely ferocious, with green faces and fangs, and their shapes were strange and different. They rode various kinds of magical beasts.

In the sky, there are countless two-headed strange birds, two-winged magic dragons breathing gray air, and other magical birds and beasts, circling and flying within a range of tens of thousands of miles.

The small fortresses are simply stone palaces and magic warships that look like ships. Some of them are located in the dark mountains, and some are floating in the sky.

The demons in these small fortresses are not as mixed as those in the large fortresses. The patrolling demon guards are obviously of the same bloodline. Some of them have bodies made of white stones, and some of them have the same pair of curved horns.

In addition, the six-armed Jialun war demon that Xuyang had seen before, a powerful ancient demon race, also occupied the Flying Six-sided Battle Fortress. Dozens of Jialun war demons, which had not only four arms, flew back and forth around the battle fortress, and the defense was extremely tight.

From this, it can be seen that these fortresses either come from the demon army directly under the command of the major saints, or from the major top-ranked demon war tribes that have received calls for conscription.

But no matter what the fortress looks like, whether it is on the ground or floating in the sky, there are more or less dark spire-shaped buildings on the top of each fortress, and on the top is a ten-foot-tall dark round bead.

The smallest warship fortress has only one black bead spire, while the largest city fortress is densely packed with hundreds of them, all aimed at the seven blood suns glowing with black light in the sky above the Demon Realm, emitting hazy black light into the surrounding void, illuminating the void for hundreds of feet around.

Under these black lights, every moment there are wisps of pure and deep demonic energy being condensed and extracted, transformed and suppressed through the Black Pearl Spire, and transmitted to the depths of the Blood Stone Mountains below. In the valley, there is a faint deeper and stickier black fog, which surges and shakes from time to time, almost like a lake condensing into a sea!
Even those demon soldiers with higher cultivation levels who were patrolling near the valley subconsciously held their breath, with cold sweat running down their cheeks. Even for these pure ancient demons, the invisible pressure brought by the deep demonic energy here was not something they could easily bear.

Obviously, this war preparation, which involves converting the vital energy of heaven and earth into stored real demonic energy, has been going on for a long time.

However, these soldiers who were patrolling back and forth did not notice at this time that in the depths of a black cloud in the sky, there was a hazy light wave like a mirror flower and water moon. In the distorted space, there were four figures wrapped in a ball of star-like purple air. Like small insects in amber, they gradually grew larger and solidified. However, the spatial fluctuations caused by the distortion of space were suppressed and smoothed by the purple air, and the soldiers below did not notice it at all.

In front of this group of floating purple air with stars, there is an illusory light curtain, which reflects everything in the Bloodstone Mountains below in a slightly blurred image.

"I didn't expect that your Star Flag could suppress spatial fluctuations and shield divine thoughts! Moreover, through a layer of spatial barriers, we can clearly see the camp below! In this way, we don't need to alarm these soldiers, cover our tracks and avoid the Saints behind them, and go to our destination!"

Among the four people, there was a graceful lady in white palace dress, followed by a young man in a red robe with a star-shaped belt around his waist, and they uttered such exclamations.

The young man and the woman in white were naturally Xuyang and Baohua who had broken through the boundary to this place. Behind them was Minggu, who had a cautious look mixed with a bit of curiosity, and Yuansha, who had a complicated expression.

"Why should I avoid their sharp edges? Baohua, don't misunderstand me. I saw that Mingu and Yuansha's cultivation was relatively low, and they might be damaged if they were forced to break through the boundary. In order to save your future subordinates, I used this purple energy to protect you. It's just to repay you for your efforts in deducing for me several times!

As for the ability to suppress spatial fluctuations, it is just that I have deepened my understanding of this new Xuanbao in recent days, so I just tested it a little bit, not to cover up my tracks!"

Xuyang smiled faintly when he heard this, this method of use was also what he happened to comprehend on the road, in order to protect the three people, the fourth level of central forbidden magical power. In fact, it was not a coincidence, this kind of magical power hidden in the interlayer of space, he had already seen it when Fan Paozi used the Nine-Aperture Purple Sky Pearl.

At this time, his supernatural powers increased greatly. He had exchanged experiences with Fan Paozi several times before. It was only a natural thing for him to comprehend the ability to control space with the help of the Nine Emperor Star Flag.

After the Mother Qi Cave was upgraded, the energy of the heaven and earth's vitality that it brought with it increased several times. With this tremendous magical power, he has taken advantage of the situation to break through the fourth-level central restriction blockade in succession, and left his own divine thoughts and magical power at the core. He even made a slight breakthrough in the fifth-level central restriction. However, his current magical power is still not enough, and he has not achieved success all at once. To successfully refine the fifth-level central restriction, he may need to survive the true thunder catastrophe before he can do it.

"Fellow Daoist, do you mean to attack these saints below? Although they are hostile to me right now, these ordinary saints are just following orders. They are just the vanguards of gathering the true demonic energy in preparation for the holy sacrifice."

Baohua's face changed when she heard that. There were hundreds of thousands of demons in these fortresses behind the space barrier. Although they accounted for less than one percent of the vast demon world, they were all outstanding members of the major war demon races.

They obey the orders of the Holy Ancestor they serve wholeheartedly. These demon warriors are different from the unruly demon forces in the Beast Palace. When she regains the position of the ancestor in the future, she will naturally be able to easily subdue them and make them change their allegiance.

It can be said that in Baohua's eyes, these warriors are all backup subordinates for future counterattacks on the Land of the First Seal or control of the Demon World. Putting this aside, these warriors are also members of the Holy Clan and the descendants of the First Ancestor. Naturally, she does not want to sit idly by and watch them being slaughtered at will by Xuyang.

"Hmph, I'm too lazy to kill these ordinary soldiers. Even if they come out to stop us and die, I don't want to kill so many lives in one breath and be contaminated by huge evil spirit for no reason! I'm talking about the saint-level figure hidden deep in the camp!" Xuyang snorted coldly. This Baohua has the name of the intelligent demon, but once it arrived at the demon world, it directly took on the role of the ancestor who sympathizes with all living beings, repaying grievances with virtue, and its IQ dropped directly, and it began to protect its own people.

There were so many intelligent creatures with great cultivation, and he was not practicing the law of blood. Was he too bored to slaughter them in large numbers? He was dirtying his hands in vain! He was simply contaminated with a huge amount of evil spirits and murderous auras!
And no matter what, even if he wanted to kill, he wouldn't do it himself! Why did he bring Ming Gu and Yuan Sha here? Isn't it just to do the dirty work?
Yuan Sha behind the two men was moved when he heard the words. His face turned red and white for a while, and he seemed to have made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and suddenly said:
"According to the previous discussion of the Saint Ancestors, the Holy Sacrifice territory was divided. The Bloodstone Mountains are one of the spatial nodes that naturally intersect with the spirit world. This place was the territory allocated to the 'Demon Ancestor of the Devouring Heaven' ten thousand years ago. It corresponds to the Wood Clan territory near the True Dragon Lord's villa. In the future, the Holy Sacrifice that invades the Wood Clan territory will also be led by him and several fellow Saint Ancestors. I think the only Saint Ancestor who can appear in the Bloodstone Mountains at this time is this person! The Bloodstone Mountains originally had very little heaven and earth vitality and demonic energy, but now so many Demon Gathering Towers have been requisitioned to prepare for the Demon Spot. The depth of the demonic energy gathered here is already far beyond that of other places in the Holy Realm. He should be using this demonic energy to refine some kind of treasure here."

"It turned out to be Tian Tun. He has the Black Spirit Sacred Boat, a top ten flying treasure, and is very good at hiding himself. I cannot sense him through the space barrier, and I am too concerned."

Baohua was startled when she heard that, and looked at the other person with a complicated expression. After they looked at each other, they both turned their heads away.

1 million miles of search: Late Mahayana 'Sucking Moon Toad', Late Fusion (2), Middle Fusion (5), Early Fusion ().
“Good fellow! The Sky-Swallowing Demon Ancestor! What a great name! These guys are bullies in their own backyards, their strength is not that great, but their Taoist names are more powerful than each other! I have the power of Sky-Swallowing, but I don’t even dare to call myself Sky-Swallowing!”

The corner of Xuyang's mouth twitched, and he silently urged the group of starry purple air to continue breaking through the layers of silver and black space barriers, and everything in the mountains below became clearer and clearer.

There was only a thick blood-red barrier in front of him. When he got here, Xuyang could indeed use the Star Flag to cover himself as Baohua said, wander in the shallow void close to the Demon Realm, avoid the camp below, find an unguarded place, and then secretly enter the Demon Realm.

But he is not like Han Lao Mo and Long Family Patriarch in later generations who wiped out the entire team in the fusion stage. Why should he be afraid? Why should he avoid it?
Xuyang's shoulders shook, and a phantom of a small flag with a brilliant starry sky seemed to light up behind him. Then he pointed his finger forward casually, and the thick blood-colored barrier suddenly broke into a huge space crack that stretched for who knows how many feet, just like solidified lard touching a red-hot iron.

Perhaps because of Baohua’s previous words, Xuyang subconsciously made the situation a little more exaggerated.

In the sky above the Bloodstone Mountains below, a loud bang that shook the earth exploded without warning. The entire world seemed to tremble. The minds of countless demon soldiers below were suddenly pierced by sharp cones. Some demon beasts and soldiers with lower cultivation levels howled miserably, lost consciousness and fell downwards.

"Someone coming across the border?"

Those high-level demons who had reached the level of refining emptiness were in much better condition. They hurriedly circulated their magic energy to steady their bodies, and looked upwards with expressions of fear on their faces.

"Someone crossed over? Who?"

From the depths of the dark valley below, an old and doubtful voice was heard, and a misty space crack opened up, and a grayish-white gas rushed out immediately, with murderous aura rolling. After circling in the air, it turned into a white-haired old man, holding a long staff that looked like a giant bone claw, looking upwards with a serious face.

The spirits and demons have not yet met, so it is not easy to break through this closed space node! Before Yuan Sha went to Dragon Island, he took the half-open space passage leading to the Maha Realm and Dragon Island and other nearby interfaces. The difficulty is incomparable.

It would have been fine if he hadn't taken a look, but when he did, the old man was shocked. He saw that in the thousand-foot-long space crack, a chaotic and terrifying space storm was raging everywhere. However, as rays of star-like purple air hung down, the originally turbulent space fluctuations suddenly froze in place like a tide frozen by the cold air, and temporarily formed a seemingly permanent space channel.

Then, a young man who looked like an immortal walked out from the depths of the crack, followed by three slim figures, one or two steps behind him. After standing high in the air, they looked down.

The demon warriors who were still conscious amidst the sky-shattering roar could not help but show panic when they saw this scene of playing with the world. What about the bravery and ferocity of the Saints? What about the bloody brutality of suppressing the various tribes in the demon world? Under such a mighty force of heaven and earth, it was right to be afraid!

"What kind of magical power is this? Back then, when Baohua blew up her Ruyi Blade to open up the space channel, there was no scene like this! It's too easy! Is he from the Moko Realm whose strength far exceeds that of the Saint Realm, or..."

The white-haired old man felt heavy in his heart, and he squinted his eyes and looked at the four figures. As a result, he could only vaguely see the other person's clothes and body shape, but he could not see their faces at all.

At this time, the owner of the purple air, the young man standing in the first place, seemed to have guessed what the old man was thinking. He waved his hand casually and revealed his own appearance.

The old man immediately saw the young man in front of him who was playing with the power of the world and manipulating the barriers of heaven and earth at will. He saw his indifferent expression, as if he was a star god in the sky. After a quick glance, his heart skipped a beat. He quickly looked away without daring to look any further. But when he saw the women following closely behind him, the old man's face suddenly changed drastically and he cried out in a lost voice: "Baohua! You are not dead? And Yuansha, why are you here, and still hanging out with Baohua?"

The few high-level demons below who recognized Baohua and Yuansha were also in an uproar.

Baohua's expression changed, and she was about to respond, but Xuyang sneered: "I still need a guide, and you happened to appear in front of me. It's your bad luck. There's no need to choose, I'll take you."

After saying that, the space around Xuyang seemed to refract, and the flow of time accelerated a little in an instant. He stretched out his palm and pressed forward, and a bunch of chaotic and orderly black and silver lines exploded in his hand.

Under the inexplicable force of time from before, this black and silver line instantly completed the whole process of sinking into the void and then breaking through the void at a speed that even the saint-level figures could not react to, and appeared next to the old man!

Without further ado, they bound him! (End of this chapter)
