Chapter 180: Boundary Pill
The underground world was not big, about ten zhang square, and there was a stone platform about one zhang in diameter in the middle. On the stone platform sat a bead the size of a fist. The bead was neither gold nor jade, and it had no light.
Meng Su looked at the bead and felt a familiar feeling. This was not a bead; this was a pill. This pill was not simple; it had already produced alchemy intent. Around the stone platform were four ghost heads, and the ghost heads emitted continuous array power, suppressing this pill that had alchemy intent.
Meng Su lifted his foot to go up and take the pill, but was stopped by Ye Baiyi.
"Be careful, there is a small absolute kill array here. It kills any demonic cultivator below the Supreme level. Follow me."
Ye Baiyi carefully retreated three steps. Then he walked five steps to the left.
Meng Su followed Ye Baiyi closely, not missing a step.
After over a hundred detours, the two finally arrived in front of the stone platform.
Meng Su reached out to take the pill. He was stopped by Ye Baiyi.
Ye Baiyi said with a solemn face, "This pill is called the Boundary Pill. It is a pill refined by the first-generation Pill Saint using Boundary Fire and the laws of the Demon Realm. There were nine in total, and this is the last one. The other eight were all obtained by the Asura race."
"Then take it away, why are you dawdling?" Meng Su said with dissatisfaction.
"If it were that simple, I would have stolen it long ago."
Ye Baiyi said unwillingly, "This pill originally belonged to my Ye family and was guarded by many of my Ye family ancestors, but the Asura race sent the Supreme Yang Guangyin, who entered my Ye family, killed my Ye family ancestor who was guarding the pill, and snatched the pill. I tossed and turned before I found the hiding place of the pill. But with Yang Guangyin's suppression, I didn't dare to act rashly. I could only stare at this manor."
"What is the use of this pill? Does it make people live long? Immortal? Or advance to Supreme?"
Meng Su asked curiously.
"Legend has it that if you gather nine Boundary Pills, you can open the boundary wall of the Demon Realm, and then the Asura race will invade on a large scale. At that time, the billions of living beings in our Demon Realm will be slaughtered."
"Then they have already gathered nine Boundary Pills, why don't they open the boundary wall and let the Asura outside in?"
"It's not that simple. Besides this Boundary Pill, they also need a huge teleportation array to break the boundary wall through the power of teleportation combined with the Boundary Pill. They suffered from not having array cultivators until ten years ago, when the ruins of the Immortal Demon War were opened. Disciples from major sects and families entered the ruins to train, but most of them gained nothing."
Ye Baiyi took a deep breath and continued, "I found a remnant of the first volume of the Array Scripture in that ruin. This remnant was less than one-third. At that time, I was not a Demon Son. Later, through this one-third of the first volume of the Array Scripture, I practiced array techniques to a small success, defeated other Demon Son candidates, and became the third Demon Son of the Demon Capital. The seven Demon Sons are called the Seven Gods of the Demon Capital by the Demon Capital. They must be at the Demon God level. I was called the Array God, the Meng family Demon Son was called the Wind God, Li Huan'er the Illusion God, Wu Linglong the Insect God, and Ji Wudao the Light God."
Ye Baiyi sighed, "Pity."
"Pity what?" Meng Su, who was listening intently, asked.
"Pity that there was also the second volume of the Array Scripture in that ruin, and the second volume was more complete than the first volume, with fifty percent completeness. It was obtained by a demonic cultivator of the Meng family. At that time, none of us knew.
This cultivator was named Yang Xiu. According to reason, if he practiced the second volume of the Array Scripture, I would not be his opponent, then the Meng family would have two Demon Sons, and the Meng family would definitely not be ranked fourth. At least ranked second or even first. But after Yang Xiu practiced the second volume of the Array Scripture, he disappeared.
Until recently, more and more Asuras sneaked into the Demon Realm, and it was discovered that Yang Xiu had actually colluded with the Asura race, wanting to lead wolves into the house and reshuffle the Demon Realm. Their first target was Xuanwu Island, because the island owner of Xuanwu Island, Wuyin, was the number one expert in the Demon Realm. Although he was only a Demon Saint, he was no weaker than a Supreme. As long as Xuanwu Island was destroyed, then the half-dead Demon Venerable Liao Liao in the Demon Capital would be easily captured.
Who knew that a Demon Lord Successor would emerge halfway? You seem to have gathered the luck of Heaven and Earth, always breaking their good deeds by mistake. First, you killed Yang Xiaoxiao, and beat the Asura Yang Guangyin who sneaked into the Demon Realm until he was half-dead, destroying his Dao heart. These were not what made them afraid; what was scary was that you actually found the Talisman King Talisman Hall that had been missing for nearly a thousand years.
They watched you charging around all the way and began to suspect that all this was laid out by someone, and you were that person's chess piece, and this layout person was the Li family Patriarch—Li Wuguo. So they used Li Huan'er to set a trap, wanting to lure out Li Wuguo. Then get rid of Li Wuguo.
They underestimated Li Wuguo's deduction, and also underestimated Li Huan'er's cultivation. They thought Li Huan'er was ranked first among the seven Demon Sons, at most a little bit better than the second-ranked Wuyue, but Li Huan'er's cultivation was not just a little bit higher than the other Demon Sons. Legend has it that it was second only to Wuyin of Xuanwu Island. It was almost invincible under the Supreme level.
They couldn't do anything to Li Huan'er for a while, plus the seventh young master of the Li family, Li Bai, arrived, Shi Buli's granddaughter Shi Xiaoxiao, and the expert from Xuanwu Island, Yuan Qi, all participated in the rescue. They fell into a stalemate."
Hearing Ye Baiyi finish, Meng Su felt a burst of restlessness. He was even more worried about Li Bai and Shi Xiaoxiao. He looked at the Boundary Pill and asked, "This pill is close at hand, why can't it be taken?"
Ye Baiyi said solemnly, "This pill is connected to an absolute kill array eye. If we take the pill away, it will activate the absolute kill array. This array was laid by Yang Xiu. If we want to break this absolute kill array, I have no confidence."
"We take it and run, I have the Body Follows Thought supernatural ability, I run fast, do you think it's feasible?" Meng Su suggested.
"How far can your Body Follows Thought escape? It won't work if it's close. Once this absolute kill array is opened, space within a hundred miles will be locked. Anyone with the aura of the Boundary Pill will be absolutely killed."
Meng Su shook his head, "Forget it, that's just a movement technique, you think it's a teleportation array? Don't you have a teleportation array? We hide in the teleportation array."
"Do you think space here can still teleport? This absolute kill array has already blocked the space here. Besides breaking the array, it's just hard resistance. If you can practice to the point of being immune to all laws, then it will be fine."
Meng Su turned his head and looked at Ye Baiyi, "Do you really think I'm a god? By the way, does this absolute kill array have an array spirit?"
"How could an absolute kill array of this level have an array spirit? It only has a weak array intent."
"Then hurry up and break the array, there's no other way. Don't count on me. I know nothing about array techniques."
Ye Baiyi stopped talking and began to concentrate on breaking the array.
The so-called array is to use energy to interfere with Heaven's secrets, making the laws change, such as space changes, time changes, life and death changes.
A teleportation array is energy interfering with space, allowing space to appear with teleportation power. It is very difficult to create an array that controls time. Originally, interfering with time requires powerful demonic power. Relying only on the energy produced by energy stones to interfere with the laws of time is almost impossible.
At least array cultivators below the Supreme level cannot create it, and I don't know about those above the Supreme level, because there are no demonic cultivators of this level.
An array that interferes with the laws of life and death is somewhat similar to the death Qi in Meng Su's Reincarnation Lotus. Of course, the array technique cannot create vitality, but it can activate the power of extinction, which is what is commonly called an absolute kill array technique. ===== CHAPTER 181 =====
