Chapter 3557: Final Battle
After Ye Liuyun and the others withdrew the formation, the zombies gradually also surrounded them.
However, these zombies had no intelligence; facing the formation's attacks, they did not know how to dodge, relying solely on their bodies to bear the blows, and continued to advance toward Ye Liuyun and the others while enduring the attacks.
But these zombies were not confused by the illusion formation either; each one could directly pass through the illusion formation's area.
Ye Liuyun, within the formation, used spell techniques together with the Sealing Demon Tablet, easily killing the zombies. The Demon Slaying Sword was also released by it to fight autonomously, requiring no one else to act, and even the energy of the Metal Puppet could be saved.
He also sat cross-legged in place, beginning to practice using his Golden Pupil to release Buddha Light Power. Previously his Golden Pupil could release flames, lightning, and black-and-white powers, but he had never practiced releasing Buddha Light or Demon Qi.
Now he fought while practicing, quickly adapting, and his attacks became increasingly precise, while the amount of Buddha Light he controlled became more suitable.
The consumption of his Buddha Light Power was compensated by his Guardian God Seal absorbing Demon Qi and converting it. Although they worked together seamlessly, it still could not supply enough for his killing of the zombies.
So Ye Liuyun finally stopped practicing, instead absorbing and converting Demon Qi together with his Guardian God Seal. Meanwhile, his use of spell techniques was unaffected and did not consume his Buddha Light Power.
After half a day, the zombies that had rushed over were all completely absorbed by the Sealing Demon Tablet. At this point, the tablet's grade finally rose to Seventh Tier.
Ye Liuyun did not rush to move on; instead, he cultivated Buddha Demon Power for half a day, then brought the Metal Puppet and Xu Rong forward again.
Ahead they still encountered two waves of zombie sieges, and Ye Liuyun used the same method each time, having Qiong Qi set up the formation while he used spell techniques to have the Sealing Demon Tablet absorb power.
The Sealing Demon Tablet thus became considerably stronger. This place was like a prepared energy resource for it; after they entered the Sheng Mo Gu, the tablet's grade increased by two levels. With its help, Ye Liuyun felt more confident moving forward.
They finally walked out of the zombie area, but the sight ahead shocked everyone.
All they saw were various demon trees and demon flowers; although mainly black, the scenery was now completely different from before.
Lei Ming, Xu Rong, and the other demon beast demon cultivators all praised the environment without end. This place was already akin to the Demon Race's Peach Blossom Spring.
Seeing these plants, Ye Liuyun couldn't help but think of the Magic Vine: 'I wonder how he is now, whether he will find the Demon Race's gathering place, and how much his realm has improved!'
He immediately opened his Golden Pupil, looked around, checking for any mobile plants like the Magic Vine, but after scanning, he found nothing unusual.
"Be more careful!" he still warned, then led everyone onward.
The Demon Qi here was also more pure; as they walked and absorbed it, they would gain a lot along the way.
However, there were no signs of battle here, no demon beast fights, and no demon race or demon beasts came to attack them. On the road they also encountered a few demon beasts, but those beasts avoided them.
This made Ye Liuyun and his group quite surprised, and instead they felt somewhat unaccustomed.
As they walked, a canyon appeared before them, and everyone could feel that the rich, pure Demon Qi was emanating from this valley.
"Could this be the deepest part of the Sheng Mo Gu?"
Ye Liuyun speculated, leading everyone cautiously into the valley.
The valley floor was littered with chaotic footprints, from the demon race and demon beasts, clearly showing that this place had often been entered and exited before.
Suddenly, from within the valley, the sound of the Nine Nether Prelude came.
Ye Liuyun immediately placed Xu Rong, Qiong Qi, and the others into the Space World, leaving only the Golden Puppet and three demon beasts. This Nine Nether Prelude is a demon race holy song; even demon cultivators cannot escape its control.
Xu Rong had not cultivated the Nine Nether Prelude, but Ye Liuyun had long ago transmitted it to the demon beasts, so they were unaffected at this moment.
After waiting a while
Afterward, a mighty roar of the demon race came from within the valley, followed by countless waves of powerful pressure pressing down on them.
Facing Ye Liuyun and his group, they too had no other option, preparing to unleash all their strength for a final battle.
"Set up the formation!"
Ye Liuyun immediately released Qiong Qi again, letting the monster beasts hide behind the Metal Puppet to avoid the pressure from the demon race experts. Ye Liuyun also released his own Buddha Demon Guardian Seal to help resist this pressure.
Qiong Qi also immediately set up a simple defensive formation, first blocking this experts' pressure, then laying out various defensive formations layer by layer outward.
By the time the experts in the valley arrived, Qiong Qi had already laid out three layers of formations, and he continued to keep drawing formations outward.
A tall demon race figure let out a roar, immediately summoning nearby demon race members and demon beasts to attack together, bombarding the formation.
These demon race members and demon beasts were all at the Great Void Ninth Level; Ye Liuyun estimated that the previous Beast Kings and the strongest of each demon race had gathered here. M..
The Sealing Demon Tablet then shot out instantly from Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness, enlarged its body, and pressed toward that demon race leader. Moreover, the area it covered was large, enveloping six or seven demon race members at once.
"This guy, he's too greedy!"
Ye Liuyun could do nothing about the Sealing Demon Tablet either; he could only first cast spell techniques on that demon race leader.
But the Sealing Demon Tablet didn't even wait to get close before being bombarded by Demon Qi from those demon race members. Seeing that the Demon Qi attacks were ineffective against the tablet, another demon race member threw a treasure, smashing it at the Sealing Demon Tablet and blocking it.
However, those demon race treasures only managed to hold out briefly before the Sealing Demon Tablet absorbed their Divine Sense, severing their connection to their owners, causing them to fall to the ground one after another.
Ye Liuyun immediately used Spatial Power to move back. The demon race members, seeing this, also at once used Space Translocation to contend with him, each taking a few treasures back.
The first thing Ye Liuyun moved back was the Black Tower thrown out by that demon race leader; Ye Liuyun immediately handed it to Lei Ming for refinement.
Also, there was a black lotus-shaped treasure, which Ye Liuyun gave to the Nine-headed Demon Dragon; and a black bone nail, which made the Sealing Demon Tablet spark as it struck, Ye Liuyun casually gave it to the Demon Lion.
The remaining few treasures thrown out by the demon race were mainly weapons; Ye Liuyun did not rush to seize them, but they were all snatched back by the demon race.
"Roar, roar..."
After the demon race leader's treasure was seized by Ye Liuyun, it repeatedly roared, urging the surrounding demon race members and demon beasts to frenziedly attack the formation.
These Ninth Realm demon race members also possessed formidable attack power; acting together, some even used high-grade weapons and treasures, capable of destroying a layer of formation with a single strike.
Qiong Qi also hurried, constantly moving his hands in the air to keep drawing and replenishing the defensive formation, thus stalling with them. Recently, encoding issues have been severe, giving us more motivation to update faster; please take a moment to exit reading mode. Thank you.
