Chapter 1052

Taohai Demon City!

Once a gateway for the Demon Sect, it is now soaring with demonic energy.

Tens of thousands of low-tier demon beasts are stationed within, strictly guarding against any prying eyes from outsiders.

But no matter how strict the defense, it cannot stop internal destruction.

This day.

A streak of escape light came from afar.

The third-tier demon kings left behind here came forward one after another to welcome it.

"Lord Kong Chan!"

"Amitabha!" Kong Chan recited a Buddhist name, then scanned the crowd and issued an order that caught everyone off guard. "Everyone evacuate Taohai City, there must be no mistakes!"

The remaining demon kings were stunned, "But..."

Kong Chan frowned, "Do you intend to disobey the order?"

The demon kings looked at each other, at a loss for what to do for a moment.

Kong Chan suppressed his impatience; his actions were being watched by his master, after all.

"I give you three days; lead all low-tier demon beasts and withdraw from Taohai City completely, or bear the consequences yourself!"

This time, no one dared to question him, and they all agreed.

Kong Chan did not bother with the details of their subsequent retreat and returned to his previous residence on his own.

In the Buddhist hall, a figure stood with hands behind his back, silently watching a light screen in front of him.

The lines on the light screen were intertwined, profound and mysterious.

Kong Chan secretly glanced at the light screen, then bowed and said, "Master, the evacuation order has been issued; in three days, the demons will be gone and the city will be empty."

Luo Chen simply gave a hum, his attention still on the light screen.

Kong Chan could not help but ask, "Master, you previously passed through the North Pole Demon-Sealing Array freely; why study it so carefully now?"

Luo Chen said without turning his head, "This array was set up by Li Canghai, connecting the veins of mountains and seas, obtaining the creation of heaven and earth; even though it was damaged by the earth energy of the Sinking Sea guided over back then, it has gradually recovered under the power of time. The reason I was able to pass through before was only because I benefited from the passage token bestowed by Li Canghai. But this time, what I am about to do will completely shake this array; when the time comes, with the sky collapsing and the earth cracking, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Kong Chan was thoughtful; is this why Luo Chen had him order the demon race here to withdraw completely?

Fortunately, the news of his submission to Luo Chen had not yet spread, so this order still carried a lot of weight; otherwise, it would not have been so smooth to let those low-tier demon beasts leave.

But the matter Luo Chen spoke of, shaking this North Pole Demon-Sealing Array, made him extremely curious.

What kind of great event could cause the North Pole Demon-Sealing Array, which even the great demons of the past and even ancient demon powers were helpless against, to be completely shaken?

Luo Chen did not explain, his gaze still wandering over the light screen.

From his current knowledge, this array with the power to reach the heavens and earth is not just as simple as sealing demons.

Within it, there is also the power to nurture earth energy and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!

It was briefly broken back then because the power of the Sinking Sea was guided over, temporarily disrupting the balance, which is why a gap appeared.

But its ability to self-repair still existed, so after three hundred years, it gradually recovered as before.

And this kind of ability focuses on nurturing earth energy!

Luo Chen's thoughts flickered, with many associations.

With Li Canghai's personality, he did not necessarily have any intention of standing up for the North Sea cultivators.

The array he set up was clearly not just to seal a group of great demons.

Its purpose should have been to repair the fifth-tier spiritual vein of the North Pole Yemo Heaven, so as to find a good residence for his future cultivation.

But this plan, with Luo Chen's help, after Li Canghai successfully collected the Lanke Mountain Range in the Central Continent, had already become dispensable.

Compared to the Yemo Heaven, which was reduced to ruins and needed time to nurture and recover, the Lanke Mountain Range is one of the few fifth-tier spiritual veins in the world, with abundant spiritual energy and flowing spiritual opportunities, far surpassing the Yemo Heaven.

This point, Luo Chen felt deeply after personally entering the Mountain and Sea Seal.

"Therefore, my next actions should not affect Li Canghai."

Luo Chen smiled slightly and reached out to wipe away the light screen.

The outline of the entire array had already been completely memorized in his mind.

With the passage token gifted by Li Canghai back then, he already had some certainty in his heart about how to break this array.

When the time comes, there will be no more obstacles!

Three days later, the Taohai Demon City, once soaring with demonic energy, had become an empty city.

All the low-tier demon beasts, led by a group of demon kings, had withdrawn from this great city.

But two figures went against the flow and stepped into the Demon-Sealing Array.

Once inside the array, to Kong Chan's surprise, Luo Chen did not head straight for the Yemo Heaven, but instead wandered frequently within the array.

From time to time, he would cast out array flags.

With Kong Chan's not-so-brilliant knowledge of arrays, he could still detect some clues from these abnormal actions.

"Is Master blocking the array eyes and cutting off the circulation of spiritual energy?"

"Is he trying to break the array?"

"But if he is breaking the array, why not just destroy the array eyes directly?"

His mind was full of doubts, but Luo Chen did not explain the details to him, instead taking out more array-laying tools and having Kong Chan help with the work.

Like this, after a full three months, the two of them passed through the entire array and arrived before the Yuan Magnetic Mountain.

Looking at the light-chasing beasts that had accumulated on the Yuan Magnetic Mountain at some unknown time, Kong Chan felt emotional.

The former Yuan Demon Sect, backed by the thousand-year-old Sinking Sea and with the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light capable of suppressing the five elements in front, could be called the most solid fortress.

Yet he did not expect that it would eventually become the first of the five great holy lands to be destroyed.

"Master, the number of these light-chasing beasts is still small and not to be feared; let's go in directly!"

However.

Luo Chen stopped before the Yuan Magnetic Mountain, his gaze focused.

"No, let's do it right here!"

"Uh?" Kong Chan was puzzled.

Luo Chen smiled and pointed to the great mountain emitting a hazy gray light in front of him, saying, "My goal has never been the Yemo Heaven, but this mountain!"

Kong Chan subconsciously opened his mouth wide.

After reacting, he said worriedly, "The Yuan Magnetic Mountain is entirely condensed from Yuan Magnetic mineral veins, and the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light it naturally emits restrains all five-element power in the world. Although its power is infinite, no one in the world has ever been able to master this kind of power; even the Yuan Demon Sect only used it as a gateway barrier. Legend has it that unless one possesses a five-element spiritual root and is a Soul Transformation great power, one can use the power of the five elements generating each other to counter the five elements overcoming each other. But the aptitude of a five-element spiritual root, not to mention Soul Transformation, even Core Formation and Nascent Soul are..."

His words came to an abrupt halt.

Just because on Luo Chen's body, magic power of various colors began to flicker.

The most powerful one was clearly fire-attribute magic power.

Then came water and wood dual attributes, and then even earth-attribute magic power emerged.

Finally, the metal-attribute magic power condensed quite slowly, as if Luo Chen was relying on great means to convert it bit by bit, appearing quite strenuous.

But even so, it still made Kong Chan's eyes widen, full of disbelief!

Five-element magic power!

Five-element spiritual root!

Could this master of his be a five-element spiritual root Soul Transformation great power, rarely seen in the Mountain and Sea Realm for millions of years?

At this moment, Luo Chen's attention was focused on himself.

Sure enough!

After he grasped the power of the four great laws within the five elements, his essential Five-Element Dao Body was no longer suppressed and could initially display its power.

Even though he was still missing one source of metal to completely unlock the Five-Element Dao Body, by borrowing the principle of the five elements generating each other, he could already smoothly convert metal-attribute magic power.

In this way, this Yuan Magnetic Divine Light lost its restraint on him.

Then, what he had to do next was simple.

"Collect the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain, re-refine my natal magic treasure, and use the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light to restrain the five-element power of the world, adding to the suppression power of the Hunyuan Cauldron!"

This was the ultimate goal of this trip for Luo Chen!

The miraculous uses of the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light are known to everyone in the world.

Even when Luo Chen was still in the Qi Refining stage, he had witnessed it once in a small Yuan Magnetic Valley in the Ancient Plains Mountain Range.

And the power of this Yuan Magnetic Mountain before the Yuan Demon Sect's mountain gate is more than a thousand times that of that small Yuan Magnetic Valley!

But unfortunately, for thousands of years, no one in the Demon Sect could drive this great mountain and could only leave it on the shelf, barely using it as a gateway barrier.

But Luo Chen is different; he possesses a five-element spiritual root, and his physique was once reshaped into a Five-Element Dao Body, completely unaffected.

Moreover, his natal magic treasure, the Hunyuan Cauldron, was also based on the idea of comprehensiveness when it was first refined, incorporating a large amount of five-element materials, and it can perfectly carry the Yuan Magnetic power.

If he could melt this mountain into his natal magic treasure, not to mention anything else, just the suppression power would inevitably be greatly improved.

When that time comes!

This treasure might be able to play a role in battles at the Soul Transformation realm.

The preparatory work had been completed.

No need for words!

Luo Chen took action directly!

He opened his mouth and spat, and a streak of spiritual light flew out, spinning.

Growing in the wind, in an instant it turned into a giant gray cauldron, hanging high above the divine mountain.

Luo Chen even surged his magic power, and the five-element magic power turned into five chains about a thousand feet long, binding the Yuan Magnetic Mountain from all directions.

Afterward, he pointed a finger at his own chest.

In Kong Chan's terrified gaze, Luo Chen's physical body expanded and grew wildly.

In the blink of an eye, a giant nearly a thousand feet tall stood between heaven and earth.

Among the demon race, there has always been a saying that strength is judged by size, which can also be understood as tonnage being combat power!

As a great demon emperor in the late stage of transformation, Kong Chan's original body was already incomparably huge.

But compared to Luo Chen at this moment, it was still three parts inferior.

Kong Chan understood all too well what this represented.

In the path of body refining, Luo Chen is three parts superior to the demon race!

But this was not over yet!

Luo Chen breathed out hot air from his nostrils, and the muscles on his body trembled.

At his shoulders and neck, two flesh bumps bulged, and two heads with the same appearance but different temperaments slowly emerged.

At his waist and ribs, palms as large as millstones slowly split the flesh and stretched out.

Seeing this, Kong Chan could not help but groan.

"Is this the legendary true body of the master?"

"Three heads and six arms, the Formless Demon Luo!"

Luo Chen stood tall before the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain, his eyes revealing a determination to succeed.

The next moment!

He clenched his hands into fists and smashed them onto the hard ground with a boom.

Streaks of blood-colored source power were added, like waves, spreading out in layers with the smashed ground as the center.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Twelve strikes in a row, the earth trembled, and the mountains shook.

The North Pole Demon-Sealing Array behind him seemed to have some movement, and the power of the array wanted to spread, but the array flags previously placed at various array eyes also played a role at this moment.

The circulation of spiritual energy blocked the power of the Demon-Sealing Array.

Only then did Kong Chan understand the purpose of Luo Chen's previous actions.

This North Pole Demon-Sealing Array not only drew in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth but also once connected to the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain, stealing the suppression power of this mountain.

Therefore, back then, it could cooperate with the Demon-Soul Ancestor's array to seal the billion-strong demon coalition within the Yemo Heaven.

But at this moment, the connection between the array and the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain had already been severed by Luo Chen.

As the divine mountain trembled.

Luo Chen seized the opportunity, all six arms reaching out to grab the waist of the mountain.

The spiritual power chains condensed from five-element magic power also tightly bound the great mountain at this moment.

The three heads all opened their mouths, exhaling and shouting.

"Rise!"

In Kong Chan's worshipful and awe-filled gaze, the Yuan Magnetic Great Mountain, which had sat there for billions of years, slowly rose from the ground amidst endless roaring!

At the same time.

The gray cauldron floating in the nine heavens began to drip streaks of gray energy, sprinkling it over the ancient great mountain.

Time passed bit by bit.

On the Yuan Magnetic Mountain, a large amount of soil peeled off, and the mountain rocks shattered.

Revealing the most core existence.

A large amount of Yuan Magnetic Divine Light also erupted, but in front of the Hunyuan Cauldron, it could not have much effect.

This refining scene lasted for a full nine days and nine nights.

When the morning sun rose on the tenth day.

The originally incomparably magnificent Yuan Magnetic Mountain had disappeared, and only a round, gray cauldron that looked like it had eaten its fill floated in the sky.

Luo Chen reached out and beckoned.

The great cauldron slowly shrank and landed in the palm of his hand.

"Hmm..."

As the cauldron entered his hand, Luo Chen could not help but grunt.

His whole body sank, and he staggered a step.

Heavy!

The first feeling was that it was heavy!

Afterward, when his spiritual sense penetrated into it, the second feeling was "sluggishness."

His natal magic treasure, which had always been easy to control and could move according to his will, now gave him a hazy feeling, and it was very difficult to control it as easily as before.

"It seems the path of melting is still long!"

Luo Chen let out a long breath, his huge body shrank rapidly, and there was no worry on his face, but rather full of joy.

Regarding how to completely melt the Yuan Magnetic Mountain into the Hunyuan Cauldron next, he already had a plan in his heart.

The artifact-refining method that Li Canghai gave him would play a huge role in the next plan.

Although he could not be like Li Canghai, creating a Spirit Treasure Mountain and Sea Seal from nothing.

But the Hunyuan Cauldron itself has a solid foundation; as long as it is refined with fitting materials, it might not be impossible to advance to the rank of a Spirit Treasure in the future!

"Master!"

Kong Chan approached cautiously.

"Congratulations, Master, congratulations, Master, for obtaining the divine mountain!"

Luo Chen laughed loudly, his mood quite comfortable.

He cast out a magic power shield, enveloping Kong Chan inside.

Kong Chan was puzzled.

But afterward, he understood everything.

Behind them, that North Pole Demon-Sealing Array, having lost the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain, which was its most important array eye, began to collapse in an instant.

Boom!

Only a heaven-shaking explosion was heard.

This array, which had existed for hundreds of years, collapsed and shattered.

A terrifying spiritual energy storm swept out.

One side rushed into the Yemo Heaven, and the other side rushed into Taohai City.

The eternal glaciers collapsed layer by layer under this terrifying storm.

The thousand-year-old majestic city was razed to the ground as if it were made of paper.

In the storm, a flying shuttle broke through the air and went straight up to the nine heavens.

"Master, are we going to the Feiyan Sea area next?"

"Yes, before returning to the Eastern Wasteland, I must go and see an old friend; I think it is time."

The dialogue of one question and one answer gradually faded into the boundless storm.

This storm will continue for decades in the future; when it completely dissipates, the Yemo Heaven, which once only existed in the legends of the new generation of North Sea cultivators, will completely open its gates.

Those ruins of the Yuan Demon Sect that were once frozen will also become treasure-hunting secret realms that North Sea cultivators will flock to.
