Chapter 281: Under the Yellow Springs Road, Suppressing the Demonic Dragon, Qian Chen's Heavy Loss

"Sure enough, this path hasn't set up any heaven-shaking killing formation; it just relies on the creation of the demonic cave and these eighty-one ancient bronze lamps to shave away our lifespan!"

A Core Formation peak expert, an old monster about to cultivate into a Yin Spirit, waved his hand and unfolded a formation map.

The formation map fell, turning into a formation of intertwined ice and fire, manifesting a Taiji diagram of blue and red, suppressing the ancient bronze lamps.

The old monsters from the several great families all took action. There were five magic treasures refined to the peak, which was nearly half the foundation of the great families.

The formation map sacrificed by the Jin family's old monster could gather the power of several old monsters, exerting power close to that of a magic treasure.

The Lei family's old monster drove a large tripod magic treasure engraved with the true forms of various divine beasts. The tripod bred thunder light, which was extremely extraordinary. These people joined forces to urge it, and various beast-shaped thunder lights bombarded in turns, shaking the entire bronze lamp path.

After they used magic treasures and formation maps to suppress their own lifespan, this path seemed to really be unable to shave away their lifespan.

"Break the lamp formation and take away the lamp oil accumulated here for thousands of years!" The Lei family's old monster shouted orders loudly.

The old fox of the Xin family was the most cunning. On one side, he sacrificed a bronze chariot, on which stood a divine man pointing to the south. It was the Xin family's heirloom treasure—a replica of the South-Pointing Chariot that was only one step away from being refined into a magic treasure!

On the other side, he was slacking off and hiding at the very back.

The South-Pointing Chariot specialized in breaking various formations and seals, severing the connection between the eighty-one bronze human figurine ancient lamps. These bronze human figurines, having left the blessing of the formation and the path under their feet, were only at the Core Formation combat level. Soon, several more bronze figurines were knocked into the darkness, and at the same time, two old monsters were beaten to pieces by the bronze human figurines.

Flesh and blood flew, scattering on the road.

The bronze human figurine with the human face and snake body attacked. It was shrouded in a wisp of smoke, waved its hand, and struck out two incomparably brilliant divine rays, with brows and eyes, resembling dragons and snakes, instantly splitting the head of a Core Formation old monster.

Another old monster wanted to turn and flee, but was wrapped around his hands and feet by the ancient bronze snake on the human figurine's wrist. The sound of bones and flesh rubbing together made one's skin crawl.

Only hearing a "rip" of flesh and blood tearing...

A Core Formation old monster protected by inner armor magic treasures was torn in half from head to toe by the bronze human figurine.

The corpse fell to the ground and soon melted like wax.

"Too brutal!" Ma Laohei, fleeing toward the white bone forest, couldn't help but look back. Thinking that he had just been trading, resting, and chatting under such a ferocious thing, he couldn't help but have lingering fears.

Lei Yu flew over, thunder light flashing in his eyes. Above his head was a three-story ancient bronze pagoda, and thunder of blue and purple was wrapped around his two arms. Hundred-zhang thunder light fell from the ancient bronze pagoda, which he struck out with a wave of his hand, manifesting the Li and Kan hexagrams.

Immediately, the thunder light turned into water and fire, bombarding the bronze human figurine with the human face and snake body.

"Eight Trigrams Divine Thunder!"

Qian Chen, who was secretly paying attention to the back, was slightly startled. After observing carefully, he found that Lei Yu hadn't fully mastered the Eight Trigrams Divine Thunder, but was only able to barely strike this blow by relying on the power of the magic treasure above his head.

"No wonder the Lei family could walk the path of the Shenxiao Sect. Their ancestors definitely had a relationship with the Shenxiao Sect, otherwise, they wouldn't have refined a magic treasure containing the Shenxiao Sect's Eight Trigrams Divine Thunder method."

"This bronze pagoda is clearly the pagoda lid of that large bronze tripod. The pagoda lid contains the Dui, Gen, Li, and Kan hexagrams, while the tripod body contains the Qian, Kun, Xun, and Zhen hexagrams. Together, they can strike the complete Eight Trigrams Divine Thunder method. But it seems no one in the Lei family has this ability, and they can only use the pagoda lid and tripod body separately."

"The Lei family is also trash. Even though the thunder method brought out from the Shenxiao Sect by their ancestors wasn't fully passed down, this magic treasure has been in their hands for so long, and they still haven't realized the full Eight Trigrams Divine Thunder method. They are truly trash to the extreme!"

"If it were in my hands, I could practice it better than the Shenxiao Sect itself within three years!"

The bronze human figurine with the human face and snake body was knocked into the darkness, and after a while, it struggled back out, but the smoke transformed by the incense wish power around it was seven parts thinner, leaving only a thin layer. As for the other bronze human figurines, they made no sound after falling into the darkness, causing several old monsters to shout loudly: "Hold back, these are all lives! Don't knock the life lamps into the darkness!"

Tao Kan led the Tao family disciples and followed the green ox into the white bone forest. Like Qian Chen, they were wrapped in the smoke of the Prayer Incense, which also concealed their aura, not attracting the poisonous corpses and corpse demons in the white bone forest.

Tao Kan frowned slightly, looking at the two sides that were fighting inextricably, with the great family old monsters even having the upper hand.

He said solemnly, "The power of this lamp formation seems not as powerful as imagined?"

The green ox turned its head curiously, seemingly feeling that they had run far enough, and stood at the edge of the white bone forest, looking toward that place.

"Of course it's not as powerful as you imagined!" Qian Chen thought to himself. After all, this set of bronze human figurine lamps from the Left Treasury wasn't any powerful magic treasure, but just at the artifact level!

Plus, Qian Chen's formation cultivation was insufficient, and he had only started to arrange this demonic cave lamp path two weeks ago.

The formation runs by borrowing the momentum of heaven and earth.

What power could a formation arranged for only twenty days have? Once it borrows the vital energy of the demonic cave and runs for thousands of years, it would naturally be easy to deal with these people, and even a dozen Yin Spirit cultivators would face nine deaths and one life.

But at this moment, the Big Dipper Immortal-Slaying Formation arranged by the eighty-one bronze lamps on this lamp path was indeed just a facade.

It could be said that the great families' move this time really seized the opportunity... It's just that Qian Chen knew his formation strength was insufficient, so he had prepared other means for this lamp path!

Facing the flaws left by his insufficient formation cultivation, Qian Chen had to bring out his lifelong acting skills.

His face had three parts solemnity, three parts horror, and three parts intolerance. At this moment, his acting skills erupted, drawing the eyes of the rogue cultivators and the Tao family. He sighed in a low voice, "What a bunch of idiots! This bronze human figurine and life lamp formation is not a trap set by the demonic cave mansion to block outsiders, but a formation left by that senior to protect us!"

"Why don't they think about what the lamp formation and the ancient path are defending against by being set here?" Qian Chen sneered, "As long as you don't have greed in your heart, what danger could there be on this path? And the bronze human figurines and life lamps are all arrangements to break darkness, illuminate the void, and suppress evil spirits. Does that path that cannot be turned back defend against us outside the demonic cave, or the things inside the demonic cave?"

The consequences of turning back on the lamp path made all the rogue cultivators who had seen that scene feel awe. Now hearing Qian Chen's words, they were even more horrified...

The human figurine life lamps on the road and the taboo of not turning back seemed to be aimed at the evil spirits that might run out of the tomb!

The green ox stared at that road for a long time. Seeing that nearly half of the bronze human figurines had been knocked into the darkness, and even the divine statue with the human face and snake body was suppressed by the combination of the Lei family's magic treasure lid and tripod body, a terrifying aura was about to erupt in the green ox's senses.

The green ox couldn't help but have its ox hair stand on end, saying in horror, "Yes, this lamp formation human figurine is not used to suppress people. The thick vitality of the life lamps and the human figurines driving away evil spirits are all things to suppress demons. Ninety percent of the power of this life lamp formation is suppressing certain things. If they continue to shake this formation... I'm afraid they will release the great ferocity that is being suppressed!"

But even knowing this, no one could stop these crazy old monsters!

The old monsters of the Jin and Lei families finally joined forces to suppress a bronze human figurine. They reached out to take down the life lamp, and someone laughed loudly, "This lamp formation is nothing more than this. If we get the life oil, we can sit in the family for at least several hundred years. It is destined for our Jin and Lei families to flourish because of this!"

Elder Lin of the Shenxiao Sect appeared beside Qian Chen and the others at some point. Looking at this scene, his brows furrowed slightly, and he thought to himself, "Could it be that I calculated wrong? This lamp path clearly hides great danger, right?"

"If I calculated wrong, these life oils would really benefit these trash!"

Seeing the lamp oil full in the life lamps, several old monsters showed satisfied smiles. Someone even sighed hypocritically, "If we had known this lamp formation was so much of a facade, we wouldn't have had to... Sigh! Let the juniors see a joke!"

"If those young people can't even stand this little grievance and aren't willing to sacrifice a little for the family, harboring resentment, they will be a disaster sooner or later. It's better to bury them in this demonic cave. Arrange a few means for the future of the family!" Someone wanted to silence them.

More old monsters nodded in agreement...

Just when the lamp oil was within reach.

On the stone bricks engraved with the Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Secret Talismans under their feet, peerless killing intent suddenly surged. Strands of blood-red demonic light outlined the dark patterns engraved on the floor tiles, turning this long road into a magic treasure composed of countless Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Secret Talismans.

This was the true demonic transmission that Qian Chen had realized from the Great Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Stele. Every Great Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Stele recorded a demonic inheritance. Although the inheritance on the one that fell into Qian Chen's hands was wiped out by the Empress, with Qian Chen's supreme demonic talent, he had forcibly realized several demonic true transmissions from the residual aura and the fundamental spiritual light of the Great Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Stele, which was a demonic spirit treasure.

This was one of them, and also a transformation of the Great Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Stele—Yellow Springs Road.

Wuyou Naiheqiao!

"This is..."

The surging world-shocking killing intent made everyone on the road tremble, as if the end of the world had arrived. The road under their feet vibrated slightly, as if a peerless ferocious thing that had been sealed was about to be born.

This pressure made people feel suffocated. The gloomy Golden Cores of those old monsters were trembling, and their withered flesh and blood seemed about to collapse.

At this moment, Lei Yu, Jin Zhong, and the most cunning Great Elder of the Xin family decisively abandoned everything.

Taking their subordinates, they wanted to retreat from this path.

The bronze divine spirit with the human face and snake body, wrapped in the last wisp of fragrance, stood at the end of the road. It ignored them escaping from its side and only locked onto those old monsters who carried the aura of evil spirits and demons on their bodies for the sake of extending their lifespan.

It was still suppressing this road!

"Those old monsters have the aura of the Nine Nethers on them, they were blocked on the road!" The green ox lamented, "The things suppressed under the road make even the old ox feel very terrified. They are dead for sure! That boy was right, the human figurine life lamps are all protecting us. These arrangements cannot be moved!"

"They should have died long ago! Forcibly extending their lifespan, using yin lifespan to continue yang lifespan."

"These old monsters can no longer be counted as human." Ma Laohei sneered.

Guo Ye also put down the pipe in his hand and shook his head slightly: "They deserve to die, but if the things suppressed by that road run out, or even run out of the demonic cave... I'm afraid it will set off a catastrophe."

The green ox shook its head and said, "Even if the arrangements of this road are destroyed! Isn't there a stone tablet at the entrance of the road?"

Ma Laohei's expression was strange: "The one you kicked over?"

"Since it could be kicked over, it means that senior doesn't care!" Tao Kan lamented: "Although the Louguan Dao has declined for a long time, it is ultimately the true transmission of the Supreme, with an extraordinary foundation. In the most declining era, it can still suppress the great ferocity in the demonic cave."

"No... he cares!" Qian Chen muttered to himself.

"There must be a seal left by the predecessor on the stone tablet." The green ox said: "I once saw the seal arrangement of this place behind the stone tablet."

On that lamp path, countless stone bricks floated, and the Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Secret Talismans engraved on them emitted a terrifying aura. This road suddenly arched up, turning into a stone bridge. The darkness on both sides turned into a mighty river, passing under the bridge, composed of endless Yu Yu Jiuyou qi, emitting the aura of hell.

This aura made the green ox take several steps back...

"This is the aura of hell... There is some extremely powerful thing hidden in the river, no, the whole river is that thing!"

Just as the green ox finished speaking, the river under the stone bridge suddenly rolled toward the bridge. The boundless darkness turned into a demonic dragon, raising its head, with blood light spraying a hundred zhang from its eyes.

"Avici Demonic Dragon..." Qian Chen spat out a few words in a low voice, causing the green ox beside him to look sideways.

Avici Demonic Dragon Hell Transformation!

The former great enemy Miaokong, in order to struggle out of the inner demon in his heart—the shadow of the Supreme Supreme Supreme Tian Mo, realized the Primitive Demonic Body and created this demonic true transmission.

After Miaokong was killed by Qian Chen, his cultivated Divine Demon Undying Body... Avici Demonic Dragon, also turned into the mount of Qian Chen's Supreme Supreme Tian Mo incarnation.

After Qian Chen dismembered his demonic body, he suppressed it here.

Yellow Springs Road, Wuyou Naiheqiao...

Avici Demonic Dragon...

Two kinds of Divine Demon Undying Bodies were intertwined together. As the demonic dragon opened its mouth, everyone on the bridge felt their bodies swell and crack, shattering into a pool of blood mist, which was sucked into the demonic dragon's mouth. More than a dozen Core Formation old monsters didn't even have a trace of resistance, and even the thunder tripod struck by the Lei family old monster who was close to the Yin Spirit, and the ice-fire Taiji formation map sacrificed by the Jin family, were easily suppressed by the demonic dragon.

Because Qian Chen let water, Lei Yu, who successfully escaped outside the bridge, struck out the bronze Divine Thunder Pagoda in his hand.

The pagoda lid and tripod body joined forces to strike out a thunderbolt like a divine sword. The weight of the thunderbolt combined eight hexagrams, like a golden divine sword slashing toward the demonic dragon.

Eight Trigrams Divine Thunder—also known as Eight Trigrams Demon-Slaying Divine Thunder!

But the demonic dragon just flicked its tail, and the thousand-zhang dragon body whipped onto the Eight Trigrams Demon-Slaying Divine Thunder. The demonic light extinguished the thunder light, and both the pagoda lid and tripod body were whipped by the demonic dragon's tail and suppressed under its body.

"Got it!"

Qian Chen in the distance looked indifferent, secretly tucking the Lei family's ancestral magic treasure into his pocket.

Lei Yu vomited blood and flew back, almost hitting the front of the white bone forest. The five qi in his chest collapsed, and his Jin Dan suffered not-light damage. But looking at the thunder tripod being suppressed in the darkness, he couldn't even care about his own injuries and still desperately urged his magic formula.

But how could things that fell into Qian Chen's hands be so easy to take out?

Leaving him a life was just because he was afraid there would be no one to experience the projects behind.

Otherwise, if everyone on the Yellow Springs Road died, wouldn't the Ten Thousand Corpse Forest, White Bone Pagoda, and Demon-Suppressing Iron Hall that Qian Chen prepared later be thrown to the blind?

On the Yellow Springs Road, after the demonic dragon swallowed everything, eighty-one bronze human figurines climbed up from the darkness, from the road, and from the places where they had been knocked down and sealed by those old monsters.

The life lamps on their heads shone brightly, and the lamp oil in the lamps disappeared visibly to the naked eye.

At the end of the lamp path, the eight golden characters "Supreme Louguan, Suppressing Demons Here" on that ancient stone tablet suddenly floated up, suspended in the void, shining brightly. Emitting infinite power, it struck the demonic dragon down from the bridge with one blow.

The light of the life lamps washed away the blood-red patterns on the stone bricks. As the bronze human figurines sat in town by the bridge, the life lamps, golden characters, and human figurines struck a blow that shook the entire earth orifice together, suppressing the demonic dragon again.

After everything ended, the stone bridge returned to the original lamp path, and the dark river transformed by the Avici Demonic Dragon under the bridge was suppressed again.

Lei Yu seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. He fell at the end of the lamp path and said tremblingly: "They're all dead! Everyone is dead!"

The disciples of the few families who luckily escaped felt cold in their bones and trembled: "The white deer broke its horn, blood rain fell from the sky, sure enough there is great ferocity. This is not an immortal mansion, but a genuine demonic cave!"

"So what?" Qian Chen shook his head: "We have no way back!"

The green ox stood by the road and clicked its tongue: "This place is too ferocious! There are such ferocious things from hell suppressed under this road, what is in those eight iron halls? I, the old ox, want to walk back a bit!"

Tao Kan hurriedly grabbed the green ox's board-horn and whispered, "Spirit Venerable..."

The green ox sighed helplessly: "Alright, since I promised you, I will help you bring the family disciples back safely!"

Just as it finished speaking, it couldn't help but say: "Bringing them all back is a bit difficult, how about half?"

Many Tao family disciples, hearing this, had their hair stand on end in fear.

Looking at Tao Kan's pleading eyes, the green ox whispered: "Look, just after entering, the other families are almost dead, at least more than half are dead, and they are all elders. And I only want half... Alright! Alright! I'm afraid of you, I, the old ox, will suffer a heavy loss..."

On the green ox's board-horn, a thicker wisp of Innate Wood Essence fell. It said to Tao Kan: "Take it to trade for incense! In this ghostly place, Prayer Incense can be of great use... It can trigger the demon-suppressing power here. Anyway, whether there is anything or not, offer a stick of incense. It will protect peace, suppress evil, and protect life, and it will be unfavorable."

Tao Kan turned his head and glanced at Qian Chen, who was showing a peaceful smile like slaughtering a fat sheep, and whispered: "No need for the Spirit Venerable to bleed, I have some things here, should be able to trade for some incense from them."

The green ox turned its head: "What if they name a price too harsh?"

Tao Kan gritted his teeth: "At this time... expensive is expensive!"

The green ox then nodded: "Go!"

The bamboo pole in Qian Chen's hand tapped loudly, his face full of smiles, and he thought excitedly in his heart: "Come on! Incense doesn't necessarily protect you, but I can! Buy a stick of incense, and I'll give you a quota to go out, you've made a fortune! I've suffered a heavy loss... Think about it, you all die here, wouldn't everything be mine?"

"Using my things to buy my incense is equal to giving it away for free... I've suffered a heavy loss!" ===== CHAPTER 282 =====
