Chapter 636: Great Power of the Demon Realm

"This... how is this possible?"

The old man surnamed Guo shouted in shock, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, and the Demonic Qi on his face grew even denser!

Hearing the sound, the blue-robed cultivator surnamed Lv also walked to the edge of the dry well, and upon looking down, he too revealed a look of horror!

"It is simply unbelievable! To think someone could take away the Yin and Yang Qi from the well without destroying the Restriction!"

The old man tried to reach his hand into the well mouth, but a gentle cyan light blocked his hand and pushed it back! All of this indicated that the Restriction on the dry well was still there, but the Yin and Yang Qi was gone!

"It seems there really is always someone better, and a heaven beyond our heaven! Could it have been done by Jialouluo?"

The young man surnamed Lv sighed, then asked with suspicion.

"That is impossible! I know exactly how much ability Jialouluo has. This must be someone else besides Jialouluo, and this person's cultivation is definitely not below that of you or me! We received news earlier that Jialouluo was hiding here, attempting to obtain the Yin and Yang Qi to restore his True Immortal body! It seems he did not succeed!"

The old man surnamed Guo immediately dismissed the young man surnamed Lv's conjecture!

The young man surnamed Lv frowned slightly, his only remaining eye blinked several times in succession, and then he cast his gaze around; the island was flat as a plain, it seemed the power of the previous battle had been immense, destroying the island into this state!

"May I ask, among the great powers of the Demon Realm, who would fight Jialouluo to such an extent?"

The blue-robed young man thought for a long time but could not come up with a result!

"The Demon Realm? In my opinion, the person who took the Yin and Yang Qi is certainly not a cultivator from the Demon Realm. Among the few great powers in the Demon Realm, I fear no one surpasses Fellow Daoist Lv!"

The old man surnamed Guo sneered and glanced at the young man! The blue-robed young man only chuckled slightly and did not say anything more! This person was named Lv Yuansheng, and he was one of the top figures in the Demon Realm! Back when he was still in the early Refining Void Stage, he had single-handedly slaughtered four existences of the same rank; such fame and prestige were known to everyone in the Demon Realm!

What was most peculiar about Lv Yuansheng was the eye beneath his eyepatch. Normally, when one reached his level of cultivation, even if there were natural defects in certain parts of the body, one could use cultivation arts to recreate a healthy one later. However, his left eye, which was always covered, was his greatest trump card; almost no one knew the secret of his left eye!

Because everyone who had seen Lv Yuansheng's left eye had already been killed by him!

"Does Fellow Daoist Guo mean to say that this person comes from another realm?"

"It is very likely! And it is also possible that their cultivation is that of a Great Accomplishment Stage existence!"

"Great Accomplishment Stage!"

Lv Yuansheng gasped slightly; if it truly were a Great Accomplishment Stage existence from another realm who had entered the Demon Realm, they would have no way to deal with it!

"Of course, this is just my conjecture, but someone who can take away the Yin and Yang Qi without breaking the Restriction on the dry well is likely not a weak character!"

The old man stroked the jade well rim and said helplessly.

"If that is the case, then where did Jialouluo go? He wasn't killed by that person, was he?"

Lv Yuansheng frowned, not a trace of a smile on his face! The purpose of his and the old man surnamed Guo's visit this time was to find this Yin and Yang Qi, but in the end, it was all for nothing!

"That shouldn't be. Regardless, Jialouluo is a True Immortal existence. Even if he was defeated, as long as he recuperates for a few decades, he can recover his strength to the Void Refinement Stage again!"

The old man shook his head. When Jialouluo first arrived in the Demon Realm, he was one of those who participated in the sealing, so he had a good grasp of Jialouluo's divine abilities!

"This trip was a waste! Let's go! It seems we won't be able to use the Yin and Yang Qi to improve our cultivation after all!"

Lv Yuansheng let out a long sigh and said, feeling unreconciled.

The two had just intended to leave when suddenly Lv Yuansheng's Divine Sense stirred. Without a second thought, he flew toward a certain part of the island. The old man did not understand what had happened but followed him! When they reached the edge of the island, Lv Yuansheng picked up the corpse of a red beetle from the ground! Upon closer inspection, a trace of surprise appeared in his single eye!

This red beetle was only the size of a thumb and was one of the many Hidden Wing Blood-Eating Insects that died when Zhang Nuo fought Jialouluo; he had not expected one corpse to remain on the island!

"Fellow Daoist Guo, do you recognize this insect?"

He presented the corpse of the red beetle to the old man. The old man examined it for a long time, then suddenly exclaimed:

"This is a Hidden Wing Blood-Eating Insect! It is a type of Mysterious Heaven Spirit Insect! To think someone would dare to cultivate such a spirit insect!"

The reputation of the Hidden Wing Blood-Eating Insect was known in almost every realm. Spirit insects were good, but cultivating them was a matter that consumed a great deal of essence blood; even those cultivators who specialized in raising Spirit Beasts did not dare to easily touch this kind of spirit insect!

"It seems the guy who fought Jialouluo is not weak at all! He even dares to raise Hidden Wing Blood-Eating Insects!"

Lv Yuansheng pinched the insect's body with his hand and felt it was very hard; it must be an evolved spirit insect! The time spent cultivating Hidden Wing Blood-Eating Insects to this degree would not be short!

"Fellow Daoist Lv, this kind of insect seems to be owned by only one person in all the major realms!"

"Oh? Who is it?"

Lv Yuansheng was very curious. He considered himself the number one person in the Refining Void Stage of the Demon Realm; if he dared to claim second, no one would dare to claim first! With his fighting spirit ignited, he wanted all the more to know who could raise such spirit insects!

"Does Fellow Daoist remember the Demon Beast Tide that happened in the Immortal Spirit Realm back then?"

"I know a little about it!"

Nodding, Lv Yuansheng said indifferently.

"During the Demon Beast Tide back then, there was an Integration Stage cultivator who could drive these insects, and he had also cultivated a technique called Insect Body, which had astonishing power. That person seemed to be called Zhang Nuo!"

Upon hearing the name Zhang Nuo, Lv Yuansheng's heart stirred, but his face did not reveal the slightest expression. Because before the Demon Realm was destroyed, he had already met the Great Prophet, and he also knew about the trip to the Underworld. At that time, he had heard the Great Prophet mention the name Zhang Nuo intentionally or unintentionally!

Could this person also be a candidate for the trip to the Underworld? With a backhand motion, he threw the red beetle's corpse onto the ground. Lv Yuansheng did not delay this time but transformed into a streak of light, rushing toward the outer sea of the Demon Thunder Sea!

The old man surnamed Guo did not know what had happened, but he followed behind him, and the two soon disappeared into the horizon!

At the same time, in a certain sea area of the Nei Hai of the Demon Thunder Sea, inside a trench ten thousand miles deep on the seabed, a circular space like a bubble floated quietly in the middle of the trench, relying on the stone walls on both sides to stabilize the bubble!

This bubble was only a few zhang in size, but inside, a person was sitting cross-legged in mid-air; it was Zhang Nuo!

At this moment, Zhang Nuo's eyes were tightly closed, and two streams of black and white Qi were constantly moving on his body. On his two shoulders, Xuan Jin and Qiong Qi were moving their hands in seals, their faces showing some nervousness!

In front of Zhang Nuo, a miniature Phantom Immortal Dharma Image about a foot tall was completely shrouded in a mass of Golden Light, also with its eyes slightly closed, as if it were also cultivating something!

Originally, in order to refine the Yin and Yang Qi, Zhang Nuo had searched for a period of time in the Nei Hai but could not find a place to land. Forced by necessity, he thought of cultivating in the deep sea. No one would ever think that in the vast Nei Hai of the Demon Thunder Sea, there would be a cultivator cultivating on the seabed!

In the blink of an eye, eighty years passed. On this day, Zhang Nuo finally opened his eyes, and looking at the materialized Phantom Immortal Dharma Image in front of him, a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth!

Although the Dharma Image looked small at this time, it was because Zhang Nuo had deliberately made it so in order to cultivate on the seabed. With the help of the Yin and Yang Qi, Zhang Nuo had successfully cultivated the nine layers of the Immovable Underworld Art to the Great Accomplishment Stage! And the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image had also fully formed because of this!

The Dharma Image was majestic and solemn, and a powerful aura radiated from its body unconsciously. With the completion of the Immovable Underworld Art, Zhang Nuo's three main cultivation arts were all completed!

Thus, Zhang Nuo's cultivation advanced another step, officially crossing into the Late Void Refinement Stage, only one step away from the Great Accomplishment Stage!

These were not what made him happiest; the most unexpected thing was the Five-Colored Divine Sea! Back then, because he needed to store the Yin and Yang Qi, Zhang Nuo used the Five-Colored Divine Sea as a container. However, as time went on, the rosy clouds in the Five-Colored Divine Sea slowly turned black and white, and the surface of the Divine Sea also turned into the shape of a Taiji Diagram!

At the beginning, Zhang Nuo was a little worried, but as time passed, he discovered that because it had been assimilated with the Yin and Yang Qi for too long, the Divine Sea had mutated. All of this happened while he was unconscious!

In this way, not only did the capacity of the Divine Sea become larger, but the speed of refining Spiritual Qi was also completely different. Normally, if Zhang Nuo wanted to fill the Spirit Power in the Divine Sea, it would take at least about a year, but now, in just half a year, the Divine Sea would surge with turbulent Spirit Power!

The purity far exceeded what it was before. In this way, in future battles, Zhang Nuo almost did not need to worry about Spirit Power output. Coupled with the Wood Spirit Root formed by the Pure Underworld Divine Tree in his body and the Gold Spirit Root formed by the Nine Dragon Sword Case, he was a container that collected Spirit Power rapidly!

The inexhaustible Spirit Power would turn him into a tireless god of war! As long as Zhang Nuo was given a little time, the Spirit Power in his body would recover significantly!

With a movement of his Divine Sense, the Taiji Divine Sea within his body immediately erupted with black and white radiance, illuminating his entire dantian until it shone brilliantly! Zhang Nuo's figure grew taller, and a series of popping sounds erupted from all the joints in his body! On that very day when the Immovable Underworld Art reached the Great Accomplishment Stage, his physical body was strengthened once again!

At this moment, even an existence at the Great Accomplishment Stage would likely be unable to catch up to his physical body!

After a long whistle, Zhang Nuo retracted the Dharma Image back into his body, his form turning into a streak of startling rainbow light as he directly broke through the air bubble and soared straight up toward the sea surface!
