Chapter 1033: Breaking the Array and Escaping

Just as everyone was attacking the array around the palace together, no one noticed that the two female cultivators from the Transformation Immortal Sect were secretly talking.

"Senior Sister, are we really going to help them break this magic array? Could it be that the palace is the place where the ancient Demon Ancestor mentioned by Elder Xiang is sealed? Otherwise, how could the Eight-Spirit Ruler appear here!" The beautiful woman secretly transmitted her voice to Madam Mu, looking extremely worried.

"Don't worry, Junior Sister. This is definitely not the place where the demon is sealed, otherwise the Transformation Dragon Seal would have reacted long ago. As for me wanting to break this array, it's not entirely for the Eight-Spirit Ruler, but because the hub array eye that controls the restrictions of the entire Mount Mount Kunwu is within the ninth level of this Demon-Suppressing Tower. If we want to reinforce the seal, besides the Transformation Dragon Seal, we must also go to the last level to cast spells. But look around, where is there any entrance? The only suspicious place is this palace. It is highly likely that the entrance should be somewhere inside the palace. I didn't tell you in detail at the beginning, Junior Sister, so it's no wonder you have so many concerns." Madam Mu replied with confidence.

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why Senior Sister didn't go to cast spells to reinforce the seal, but instead dragged me to run here without a word. But this Eight-Spirit Ruler, we..." The beautiful woman suddenly realized.

"The Eight-Spirit Ruler is also a legacy treasure of our Transformation Immortal Sect's ancestors. It is only natural for us to take it back," Madam Mu said before the beautiful woman could finish.

"That is true, but it will probably be very difficult for the two of us to snatch this treasure," the beautiful woman looked at the cultivators and demons like the Silver-Winged Winged Yecha all around and replied hesitantly.

"That's not necessarily true. Don't forget, the Four-Image Ruler in your hand was refined as a replica of the Eight-Spirit Ruler. In a moment, when we take action to snatch the treasure, activating this ruler might have miraculous effects. And even if we can't, don't forget, Elder Xiang will arrive at any time. When the time comes, no matter who obtains this Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, they will have to hand it over obediently. With his old man's connection to our Transformation Immortal Sect, if we beg bitterly, even if we can't get the Eight-Spirit Ruler, there will definitely be other benefits." Madam Mu's words revealed a bit of cunning.

"That is also true! However, what is the destination of the black teleportation array in the stone chamber where we were teleported in? Could that be the place where the ancient demon is sealed? It's a pity that the teleportation array failed. Otherwise, we could have gone over to check it out first," the beautiful woman asked with worry, thinking of another matter.

"Who knows? Perhaps. Our sect's classics don't mention the specific matters of the ancient demon being sealed." Madam Mu was stunned and could only reply like this.

Just as the two women were secretly talking, they didn't know that in another dim space nearby, the ancient Demon Ancestor they mentioned was currently breaking through the heavy shackles of the seal.

The five magic weapons—the Ink Mirror, Jade Lotus, Circular Ring, Command Arrow, and Black Small Bottle—floated above the two-headed giant wolf, simultaneously spraying black light beams downward, all sinking into the giant silver wolf's body, causing the giant wolf's surface to glow with an eerie demonic light, forcing the talismans and chains on its body to be pushed away by a chi from its body.

The talismans and black chains also flickered with strange light because of this, seemingly triggering the restrictions they contained.

But the most astonishing thing was not this, but the yellow copper mirrors on all sides. At this moment, they all emitted humming sounds, and the yellow light beams they sprayed were several times thicker than before, making the cage they formed seem indestructible.

The two-headed, four-armed ancient demon was suspended in mid-air, using all four hands to form seals to drive the five magic weapons, both faces showing solemn expressions as they watched the silver wolf above.

The black teleportation magic array beneath it was covered by a set of array flags emitting gray light, causing the array to temporarily stop operating to prevent other cultivators from breaking in.

At this moment, the black wolf head completely presented a demonized appearance. Not only did the horn on its head grow much larger, but black electric arcs flickered incessantly on it, emitting rumbling thunderous sounds. And the purple demonic flames flashing in the eyes of this wolf head caused the talismans seen by this gaze to strangely ignite one after another, turning into balls of ash.

Through the demonic energy infusion of the five magic weapons, this ancient demon's Saint Ancestor soul fragment finally accumulated a certain amount of demonic energy and began to cast spells to break free.

Time passed bit by bit. When the black wolf head finally turned the last talisman near its body into nothingness, it let out a low roar, and its already astonishing body unexpectedly grew even larger amidst the flashing black light, seemingly wanting to transform into a god who could open heaven and earth, filling the entire space.

The cage composed of yellow light beams only managed to trap the giant wolf for a moment before being forcibly burst open. Hundreds of copper mirrors also shattered simultaneously, turning into stars in the sky and disappearing without a trace.

However, the seemingly unremarkable Great Zhou Heaven Star Chain, under the flashing of light, also became thicker and larger as the giant wolf's body grew, still tightly binding the giant wolf, refusing to let go for a moment, and seemingly because of the giant wolf's struggle, a layer of milky white flames suddenly ignited on the surface of the thick chain.

The smell of scorched flesh instantly filled the entire space. These white flames ignored the protective demonic light on the giant wolf's body and directly ignited the silver-white fur of this wolf.

The black wolf head showed an expression of extreme pain; these demon fires seemed to be quite extraordinary.

The ancient demon below, upon seeing these milky white flames, actually revealed a look of fear on its face and muttered a low whisper:

"Pure Yang White Bone Fire! I never expected that those ancient cultivators would actually fuse this demon fire into this chain. This is somewhat troublesome."

But just at this moment, the black wolf head suddenly shook its huge head, and with a loud bang, a thunderball formed by black electric arcs on the horn flew straight into the sky, but then burst open again.

Countless black electric arcs covered the sky and struck all the black chains.

In an instant, white flames and black electricity flickered and intertwined. As if two strange pythons were tearing and coiling around each other, strange muffled sounds erupted!

The black wolf head, however, was unwilling to give up. As the purple flames in its eyes surged, a low, deep chant erupted from its mouth. With a single opening of its jaws, a wave of pitch-black light swept toward the surroundings. Wherever it passed, black waves surged to the heavens, and the dense, unknown barriers in the distance were all swept away, the momentum being extremely astonishing.

The ancient demon below saw this scene, and joy appeared on its face.

It seemed that although this Saint Ancestor soul fragment had been trapped for many years, its divine abilities had not been lost, and it wouldn't take too long to break free.

At the rift entrance of the Mount Kunwu Mountain seal, figures were moving, but the gathered cultivators had not increased; compared to the thousands of cultivators before, there were only two or three hundred people, unexpectedly losing more than half.

However, the Profound Green Child sitting in front of the entrance did not look relaxed, but rather became even more solemn.

Because most of these two or three hundred people were cultivators above the Core Formation stage, and among them, there were even more than a dozen Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

If it weren't for the fact that the Taiyi Sect's reputation was truly too great, and the Profound Green Child himself was a late-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, I'm afraid that among these people, someone would have long since been unable to hold back and tried to break through the rift behind him.

But even so, this Taiyi Sect elder estimated that he would not be able to block the crowd for too long. After all, among these cultivators now, many were sect elders of great sects. These forces were not something even the Taiyi Sect would want to easily provoke.

"Daoist Brother Profound Green Child, how long do you intend to make us wait! I didn't come here to waste time," someone in the crowd finally became impatient and walked out, a ruddy-faced old man who was actually a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Daoist Luo, didn't I say it already? The rift is fundamentally impassable for anyone at the moment. I am blocking you all, not because I don't want you to die in vain," the Profound Green Child sighed in his heart, but still opened his eyes and replied, his expression unusually calm.

"But how did I hear that the cultivators of the Yin Luo Sect and the Transformation Immortal Sect have already entered? What is the reason for this?" the Luo-surnamed old man asked with dissatisfaction.

"That is because Madam Mu and Brother Qian have the Sun-Moon Shuttle and the Spirit-Rhino Peacock to open the way, so naturally they can take the risk. If Brother Luo also has one of the three great spirit shuttles, I will definitely not block you in the slightest. In fact, as long as we wait a few more days, the rift will return to normal," the Profound Green Child said calmly.

"Wait a few more days, I'm afraid the treasures inside will have been looted clean by Old Demon Qian and the others!" Another unhappy voice came, and then a figure shrouded in a mass of green mist drifted out from behind the crowd.

"So it is Daoist Yu of the Green Phosphorus Cliff who has arrived." Upon seeing this figure, the Profound Green Child frowned. Although this person was not a cultivator of any great sect, his poison techniques were famous in the Great Jin, and he was a troublesome character that even he did not want to easily confront.

Speaking of which, he didn't care about the life or death of these people at all. Even if they were all buried in the rift, he wouldn't frown even a bit.

But the secret report he received earlier said that the ones who opened the seal should be the Ye family cultivators. And just as he was pondering what plot the Ye family had, he immediately received a mysterious order from within the sect, requiring him to join forces with the Seven-Wonderful True Person of the Heavenly Demon Sect to enter inside, and before that, to try his best to prevent other cultivators from entering the rift.

The identity of the person who gave the order was an extremely special existence within the Taiyi Sect, and even he did not dare to disobey it in the slightest. Otherwise, with his status, why would he do this kind of thankless work?

However, since the order required the two late-stage cultivators to join forces to enter the seal, it could be seen that the thing being sealed was definitely not simple.

Sure enough, not long ago, he received another letter jade slip, which actually contained some information about this seal, which greatly shocked the old Daoist, and he couldn't help but greatly regret letting Old Demon Qian and the others enter earlier.

At this moment, he naturally dared not let other cultivators enter the rift even more.

Otherwise, if so many cultivators broke in, it would definitely cause trouble. If the one being sealed was released, who in the human world could be an opponent? Moreover, there were Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures and other treasures inside, so naturally, they couldn't be left to others.
