Chapter 1056: True Demonic Qi

When the two demons saw the two demonic creatures, which seemed to be condensed from demonic Qi, attacking, they were also startled. (Net)

The Silver-Winged Nightcha didn't think and flickered, disappearing with the wind in an instant.

The Lion-Bird Beast, however, turned around with ferocity, and a rumbling sound came from its mouth as a golden wave struck toward one of the demonic creatures.

That demonic creature just raised the giant blade in its hand to block slightly, and was immediately submerged by the golden waves, its body shattering inch by inch, re-transforming into faint demonic Qi.

The other demonic creature waved its hand and released a chi-sized blade light, and the Silver-Winged Nightcha's figure strangely appeared behind it.

With a flick of its ten fingers, ten gray soul-shackling threads shot out, instantly piercing through the demonic creature's body and tearing it to pieces.

Having so easily destroyed the two demonic creatures, the Silver-Winged Nightcha stared at the demonic Qi in front of it, frowned, and revealed a solemn expression.

Clearly, this demon also didn't believe that it had really solved these two demonic creatures just like that.

Sure enough, the demonic Qi in front rolled and surged, and amidst the flashing black light, it re-condensed into the two demonic creatures just now.

As soon as these two demonic creatures took shape, one immediately pounced fiercely, and at the same time, its mouth opened wide, and streams of demonic Qi shot toward the Silver-Winged Nightcha.

The Silver-Winged Nightcha frowned, raised one hand, and the soul-shackling threads shot out again, entangling with the black Qi for a time. The other demonic creature changed its form, turning into a giant eagle a zhang in size, and suddenly closed in on the Lion-Bird Beast, moving its pair of pitch-black sharp claws and iron-hook-like sharp beak, directly engaging in hand-to-hand combat.

Immediately, black and purple feathers scattered down between the two giant birds.

The Lion-Bird Beast clearly had the upper hand, but no matter how much damage the black giant eagle suffered, under the circulation of black light around its body, it would immediately recover as before, as if it were an immortal body.

The Silver-Winged Nightcha's side was the same situation. No matter how many times the soul-shackling threads destroyed the demonic creature, it would re-condense and take shape in the blink of an eye.

Clearly, these two demonic creatures were something similar to an external incarnation. If the main body was not destroyed and there was abundant demonic Qi to support it, it was simply an immortal body. No wonder that split soul of the Yuan Cha Saint Ancestor used them to entangle the two demons. Clearly, it didn't expect the demonic creatures to defeat them, just to entangle the two demons so they couldn't go and destroy the stone pillars.

The Silver-Winged Nightcha also knew this clearly in its heart, but although the two demonic creatures had extremely poor defense, the demonic Qi they spat out was exactly the same as the giant wolf's. The two demons had no choice but to try their best to dodge and block, and they really couldn't spare any attention for anything else.

And that stone pillar that had been destroyed by more than half, after just a moment of effort, repaired itself amidst the flashing spiritual light, and in the blink of an eye, the destroyed part was restored to its original state.

This made the Silver-Winged Nightcha feel even more depressed.

The situation on the two demons' side also fell into the eyes of the Corpse Bear, which also made this demon somewhat surprised.

"Hua Hua Tianqi" was using his spiritual sense to condense several giant hands, smashing them toward the demonic Qi below, but suddenly transmitted a cold sound to the Corpse Bear:

"Don't worry. This kind of demonic art of temporarily splitting spiritual sense to refine an external incarnation is the limit for it as a mere split soul. Otherwise, this demon wouldn't need to consume so much time with us; it would just need to release a few more. We would definitely be defeated. Now, what's important is that this demon has forcibly demonized my body with demonic Qi. Although it's only temporary, by constantly absorbing the pure demonic Qi from the altar and tempering this body, it won't be long before the demonization becomes permanent. By then, the demon soul and body will be fused into one, and this concubine will never have a chance to take back the body. And once this demon's divine abilities are fully restored, even if we all join forces, we will definitely not be its match. It seems I have to take a risk."

"Take a risk! What does the Concubine mean?" The Corpse Bear was startled, but asked respectfully.

"I will use a secret art to try to sneak into this wolf body and forcibly compete with the demon soul for control of the body. Although the body has been demonized and it's impossible to gain the upper hand, I can make the silver wolf body temporarily lose control for a moment. You should know very well what to do next." Long Meng transmitted calmly.

"I understand the Concubine's meaning. But isn't doing this too risky?" The Corpse Bear hesitated while driving the blood light to split a large group of demonic Qi below.

"Risky? If we don't take a risk, once the altar seal is opened, we really won't have even a sliver of a chance." Long Meng said unhappily.

"What is sealed under this altar that the Concubine seems so wary of? Could it be those few powerful demonic weapons left in the mortal world by the Ancient Demon Realm back then?" The Corpse Bear couldn't help but ask.

"If it were just some demonic weapons, that would be fine. No matter how powerful this demon gets, we could just retreat from this place and then gather other human cultivators to besiege it alone; there would always be a way to kill this demon. Would I still be holding on here? What is sealed under this altar is most likely the True Demonic Qi transmitted from the Ancient Demon Realm when it opened the passage to the mortal world back then." Long Meng said with a gloomy face.

"True Demonic Qi transmitted from the Ancient Demon Realm?" The Corpse Bear was shocked.

"They are different from ordinary demonic Qi. Not only can they pollute the spiritual veins and spiritual energy of the mortal world, but once they spread in large quantities, both ordinary humans and low-tier cultivators will gradually be demonized. Even after a long time, they can transform the mortal world into an existence like the Ancient Demon Realm." Long Meng said solemnly.

"But I heard that after the battle back then, these demonic Qi were thoroughly purified by those ancient cultivators. How can they still exist in the mortal world, and right under this altar?" The Corpse Bear still couldn't believe it.

"Purified? If it were ordinary demonic Qi, the ancient cultivators could naturally purify it with their divine abilities. But True Demonic Qi contains the root of the demonic essence of the Ancient Demon Realm. When it was transmitted to the mortal world, it was originally intended to be used to convert the heaven and earth spiritual energy of the mortal world. How could it be erased so easily? If it were in our Spirit Realm, perhaps there would still be a way to thoroughly clear it. But in the mortal world, it is extremely difficult. Before I was sealed, I heard the Mount Kunwu Three Elders mention it once. They wanted to collect and detain the vast majority of the demonic Qi after the battle, distribute it to several places in the mortal world with the most abundant spiritual energy, and suppress it with pure spiritual energy. And I once fused with the split soul of the Ancient Demon Saint Ancestor, so I can faintly sense that it is this kind of demonic Qi that is sealed under the altar."

"This is not surprising. Mount Kunwu Mountain was the most famous immortal spiritual mountain in the mortal world back then. It is only natural to use the spiritual veins of this mountain to suppress the demonic Qi. They hoped that through the washing of pure spiritual energy, they could grind away these demonic Qi little by little. And the spiritual energy of this mountain is indeed much thinner than when I was sealed back then. It seems that it was mostly useful. However, without a million years, these demonic Qi cannot be truly purified. Now, if they are released, it is wishful thinking for human cultivators to want to control and seal them again. Not to mention, after this Ancient Demon Saint Ancestor incarnation absorbs the True Demonic Qi, I am afraid that no one in the entire mortal world will be its match."

Long Meng was silent for a moment and told everything in one breath.

Hearing this account, the Corpse Bear was shocked, and its face was uncertain.

"Even if this mortal world is thoroughly demonized, so what? What does it have to do with us? Back then, the demon race and humans sent the Concubine and us down to the mortal world to expel the Ancient Demons who crossed the border. We have all done it. If something happens again, it cannot be blamed on us. Why don't we..." The Corpse Bear flashed a hint of coldness in its eyes and suggested hesitantly.

"I knew it. You were a spirit beast of humans before you turned into a corpse. How could you run into the Demon-Suppressing Tower to save me for no reason? You want to use the Reverse-Spirit Passage to return to the Spirit Realm, right? However, your cultivation hasn't surpassed the Spirit Transformation stage. Even if you enter it, you will only be turned into nothingness by the power of space. And how do you know that I know the location of the Reverse-Spirit Passage?" Long Meng suddenly asked with a cold laugh.

"The Concubine is joking. Being a human spirit beast was something from before I opened my spiritual intelligence. As for how I will cross the passage, please rest assured, Concubine. I have prepared for so many years and still have a few points of certainty. And as the concubine of the Heavenly Kui Demon King, if you didn't know the location of the passage, I wouldn't know who else would know about it." The furry face of the Ten-Thousand-Year Corpse Bear revealed a few smiles and replied via sound transmission.

"Humph, I will believe you for now. To tell you the truth, only when I completely take back my original body will I have a way to re-find the location of the Reverse-Spirit Passage. So, don't think about running away. Just honestly do as I say." Long Meng said unceremoniously.

"Yes, as long as the Concubine can fulfill her promise and really agree to take us back to the Spirit Realm together, the few of us will naturally do our best for the Concubine." The Corpse Bear grinned and replied via sound transmission without hesitation.

"That's good! You go protect me first." Long Meng nodded with satisfaction.

Immediately, the Hua Hua Tianqi possessed by this woman suddenly pinched magic arts with both hands, and a dazzling silver light emerged around her body.

Just at this moment, under the gaze of the Seven Wonders Daoist, Han Li also rubbed his hands without saying a word, and one after another, Evil-Warding Divine Thunder struck toward the demonic Qi below, causing groups of demonic Qi to collapse and disappear.

But the giant wolf faced the joint attack of the cultivators, and instead, its demonic flames surged. The demonic Qi and pitch-black light pillars spat out from its mouth kept the yellow sword Qi, blood light, and other attacks retreating steadily. Seeing more and more demonic Qi, almost occupying most of the space, covering the sky and earth, it had the intention of surrounding everyone.

At this time, the giant stone pillars around the altar gradually became dazzling and began to emit a low buzzing sound. Strange ancient runes appeared on the surface of each stone pillar, and they trembled slightly.

The humans and demons who noticed this scene were secretly shocked.

The Seven Wonders Daoist, who was holding the crimson small drum, sank his face.

Although he didn't hear the conversation between Long Meng and the Ten-Thousand-Year Corpse Bear, a bad premonition clearly emerged in his heart. This person gritted his teeth, finally threw the small drum, sacrificed it into mid-air, and at the same time shouted sharply:

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Qingzi, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and sacrifice that thing you just obtained. Otherwise, a great disaster is really about to befall us!"
