Become a fairy alone

Whether it's the Red Demon Ant-Man, the Water Banyan Ghost Clan, the Bone Soldiers, or even some of the elite members of the Manghu Clan, anyone who ventures in will be attacked by several, or even more, Soul-Eating Nightmares.

Ordinary counterattacks were of little use against the Soul-Eating Nightmares. Various demonic weapons were unleashed, cleaving them in two, or even into several or a dozen pieces. The Nightmares either reformed or devoured each other. Within this eerie cave, they seemed utterly unkillable.

Red Demon Ant-Man, Water Banyan, and other tribal warriors are usually quite fierce, after all, they were all under the command of Qiu Meng Demon Ancestor, and no one in this region dared to provoke them.

Occasionally there are some conflicts, but they are sporadic in scale. Even in the great war in the Dragon Realm, we have never encountered such a difficult situation.

The dragons only entered the battlefield at the very end, and there were not many who actually fought directly against them. After the powerful Red Demon Ant Queen and others sensed that something was wrong, they led them back.

Overall, those who survived did not experience any particularly brutal fighting.

The Soul-Eating Nightmare before them was already extremely powerful. Their tribes had been driven in without any order, and being on enemy territory, how could they possibly resist?

In the blink of an eye, countless demons were devoured by the Soul-Eating Nightmare, their bodies turning into blue liquid under the pale blue moonlight and flowing into the Hidden River below.

Even through a layer of restrictions, the several ghostly beings in their primordial spirit forms could hear the shrill screams from inside.

While they were filled with unease, their experience told them that nothing good was coming from inside. With the Ghost Lord and Demon Lord-level monsters all keeping their distance, pushing these juniors in would be more like sending them to their deaths.

This place is adjacent to the cave of the Demon Ancestor Qiu Meng. Normally, not only them, but even the Crimson Demon Ant Queen and her group would only come here after being summoned by the Demon Ancestor Qiu Meng. These demons in their primordial spirit form naturally do not understand the dangers within the Soul-Eating Nightmare Cave.

"You few stay outside for now, don't go in." Sure enough, just as Yi Zhao, Rong Qingzhi, and the other Nascent Soul cultivators were filled with fear and unease, they received a telepathic message from the Red Demon Ant Queen and the others.

Ant Zhao and Rong Qingzhi felt somewhat relieved, and were even more certain of their previous judgment.

Fortunately, the old monsters didn't intend to send them into this eerie cave to die as substitutes.

As for the younger generation of the clan, it's better to die for the dead than for the dead. These old monsters must have something to do with their actions. Yi Zhao and Rong Qingzhi, in their primordial spirit forms, could roughly guess that it might be related to the treasures in the Demon Ancestor's cave.

If it were just that the dragon army was rushing over and they couldn't stop them, they could simply scatter and flee, and many of them would escape. But the fact that they are gathered together in large numbers now and have abandoned the restrictions on the last two islands of Seven Stacks Island one after another doesn't look like they are going to fight the dragon army to the end.

Thinking of the lair of the Demon Ancestor Qiu Meng, Yi Zhao, and Rong Qingzhi's group of primordial spirits couldn't stop their hearts from pounding wildly.

While I was surprised by the ruthlessness of the old monsters, I was also filled with excitement.

The immediate crisis was self-evident, but once the passage ahead was opened, a treasure trove might appear before them. This was the cave of an Emperor-level expert. They dared not compete with old monsters like the Red Demon Ant Queen, but with a bit of luck, there was always a chance.

Roar! Thousands of dragon shadows pierced the sky, and majestic dragon roars could be faintly heard. The old monsters, including the Lord of Manghu Palace, all changed their expressions. The dragon army had not yet approached, but its unparalleled majesty had already shocked people.

"These dragons arrived incredibly quickly." The Palace Master of Manghu thought to himself that their reaction speed was remarkably fast; they reacted and evacuated immediately after the Dream Demon Mist restriction malfunctioned.

Even if the restrictions on the sixth and seventh islands are already in automatic defense mode, their defensive power is definitely not weak. It will take the opponent some time to break through the formation.

However, the speed at which the enemy arrived far exceeded expectations. The last island of the Seven Stacks Islands could no longer withstand the immense dragon energy and was in imminent danger of being destroyed at any moment.

"It seems we need to go in ahead of time. With those juniors as our foundation, even if there are still some risks later, we should be able to withstand them," the Jade Bone Ghost Master said in a deep voice.

Of the various factions, only the Manghu Palace was stronger. However, the Manghu Palace relied more on the number of its members. In terms of elite troops, its bone soldiers were in no way inferior to the enemy.

It would be a real pain to send all his men into the Soul-Eating Nightmare Cave. Now that the old monsters have entered the Nightmare Cave and a few capable subordinates have led the remaining forces to retreat far away, there is still a chance to preserve some of their strength.

Plans can't keep up with changes. The overwhelming strength of the dragon army forced the Manghu Palace Master and his party to improvise. Their subordinates were left to fend for themselves.

With a deafening roar, the restrictions on the seventh island collapsed.

The Red Demon Ants and Water Banyan Ghosts, who had not yet been driven into the Nightmare Cave, all looked in shock at the approaching dragon army.

Previously in the Dragon Realm, when the old monsters such as the Red Demon Ant Queen heard that something was wrong, they immediately led their troops to retreat. Most of them had never fought against the dragons.

At this moment, witnessing the dragon battle formation with its banners and flags rolling over, the combined number of all the demons outside the Soul-Eating Nightmare Cave was still more than ten times that of the dragon army. However, the formations of the various races were chaotic and leaderless. Many demons with primordial spirit bodies had no hope and fled in a sorry state without any hesitation.

"These cowardly rats!" Jin Tong was furious. He thought that by breaking the enemy's Seven-Layer Island layout and blocking the main force of the demon army here, a bloodbath was inevitable, and he could kill to his heart's content.

Who would have thought that the Jade Bone Ghost Lord and his party would be so cowardly as to abandon their countless tribes and flee?

The demons on the scene were in complete chaos, with only a few juniors in their primordial spirit form fleeing in disarray, utterly devoid of fighting spirit. Faced with such a group of enemies, Jin Tong could not muster the slightest energy and had no desire to even make a move.

"Kill!" Black Dragon, Ying Xuanming and his group of primordial dragon bodies also felt that such a battle was not challenging, but in this situation they could not be as picky as Golden Eye.

Although the enemy is in disarray, we must at least completely scatter them and annihilate their main force as much as possible. We cannot allow them to regroup and pose a threat to the dragon race, only to have our own people sacrificed to destroy them later.

If the dragon race and the subsequent demonic dragon army can annihilate most of the tens of millions of demons, they will gain a massive amount of fortune. The younger generation will also need to advance their ranks.

The allied forces of the Dragon Clan and the Demon Dragon Clan conquered Seven Stacks Island, mostly fighting against the island's restrictions. There were very few actual sword fights. They had been holding back for thousands of years, and now that they had the chance, they pounced on the island like wolves and tigers.

What we are seeing right now is less of a battle and more of a massacre.

The outcome of the war was no longer in doubt, but Wen Yan and her group did not let their guard down. Their biggest enemy was no longer the seemingly numerous demons in front of them, but the various variables that existed in the unfamiliar environment.

Without an emperor or powerful beings like Yan Ji or Ji Ting, who possessed the essence of laws, Wen Yan and her group, though not weak, lacked a strong sense of danger. The sounds of battle filled the air as numerous demons fled in disarray, suffering heavy casualties and utter defeat under the onslaught of the dragon and demonic dragon armies.

The great battle in the Dragon Realm dealt a heavy blow to a few, including the Demon Ancestor Qiu Meng and the Demon Lord Feng Ku, but did not inflict much damage on low-level demons. Now is the time to truly reap the spoils of war.

Seven powerful auras approached the Soul-Eating Nightmare Cave, and Wen Yan and her group looked solemn.

The screams inside were no less horrific than those outside, and the rate at which living beings perished was astonishing. The situation was unclear, and the dragon army was definitely not suited to enter the eerie cave before them.

It's not that the dragons are weaker than the demons in the cave; rushing in without proper formation would severely reduce their strength. Even if they defeated the demons, it would be a net loss.

"It is not advisable to mobilize a large army until we understand the situation inside," said Monk Lanyun, clasping his hands together. "This humble monk will go in first to investigate."

The several dragon lords present, including Meng Fushan, looked at Lan Yunzhu Monk with surprise. The strength of the group of Lan Yunzhu Monks present was not particularly outstanding, and their previous performance was relatively ordinary.

But starting from the fifth island of the Seven Stacks, the opponent suddenly seemed to have opened up their Ren and Du meridians, breaking through the restrictions controlling the Dream Demon Mist at a speed beyond what either side could imagine.

Now, he has volunteered to lead the charge again. The strength of Monk Lanyun is similar to that of Palace Master Leipeng. He is only slightly stronger than Wen Tingdao, who has just advanced in rank, and Gu Han, who was injured in the past. He is slightly inferior to Meng Fushan, Wen Yan, and Jin Tong.

Compared to the Red Demon Ant Queen and the Water Banyan Ghost Mother on the other side, Lan Yunzhu Monk had a certain restraining effect in terms of his skills, but he did not have a particularly obvious advantage. While everyone was hesitating, Lan Yunzhu Monk's performance was indeed somewhat unusual, exceeding everyone's previous understanding of him.

"Monk Lanyun, you're planning to remain silent until you make a stunning revelation. What have you discovered this time? This place is not like the previous Seven Stacks Island. Once we enter this cave, the dangers will be uncontrollable."

Lei Peng, the Palace Master, had the most dealings with Lan Yunzhu Monk and spoke relatively casually to him, so he couldn't figure out what the old monk was thinking.

"It was just a sudden inspiration. The army has been on the expedition for some time now, and we can't delay any longer. The main force of the demons has been destroyed, and what remains are mainly a few old monsters. If we are careful, there shouldn't be any major problems," said Monk Lanyun.

“Master Lanyun is right. The army is not needed for the time being, and we can’t delay too long. The previous demons may not have been able to use the restrictions in the cave of the Qiu Meng Demon Ancestor. If we are careful, there shouldn’t be any major problems.” While Meng Fushan was hesitating, Wen Yan, who had been cautious all along, also became bold.

After agreeing on the plan, a burst of verdant bamboo light emanated from the monk Lan Yunzhu and slowly merged into the Soul-Eroding Cave. Meng Fushan, Palace Master Lei Peng, and the four Dragon Lords, including Wen Yan, followed closely behind.

As for the outside world, after wiping out the main force of the demons, Heilong, Ying Xuanming, Mu Yedaofeng, Zilu and their group will naturally restrain their clansmen to guard outside the cave. As long as they do not act rashly, they will not be afraid of some demon lords or ghost lord level experts breaking into the formation.

The group of seven entered the cave one after another, and the sounds of fighting and shouts echoed from ahead.

Wen Yan and her group were all surprised. They had thought that after entering the cave, they would be met with fierce resistance from the Manghu Palace Master and his party. In fact, the other party encountered trouble first, and the trouble was even greater than they had expected.

The four old monsters were surrounded by nearly a hundred powerful dark clouds. More low-level demons were continuously infiltrated by the dark clouds, letting out miserable screams. After their primordial spirits were devoured, their bodies dissolved under the eerie blue light, turning into liquid and flowing away.

The situation was completely different from what she had expected. Wenyan frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's go somewhere else."

"There are only two entrances to the entire Qiu Meng Demon Ancestor's cave. One of them is controlled by that little bitch Chi Meng, the Demon Ancestor's only personal disciple."

Another place is the Soul-Eating Nightmare Cave. It's easy to enter but difficult to leave. Unless you find and kill the Nightmare King inside, you might not be able to get out.

You led the entire dragon army and spent so much time attacking Seven Stacks Island, presumably for the treasures within the cave. It's not worth wasting so much energy on a few old monsters like us.

Everyone is interested in the treasures within the Demon Ancestor's cave. Why don't we join forces, destroy this nightmare, and explore the cave together!

The Palace Master of Manghu loudly invited them, then laboriously winked at the Red Demon Ant Queen, the Water Banyan Ghost Mother, and the Jade Bone Ghost Master. Without waiting for Wen Yan and her group's consent, the four old monsters moved towards them.

In fact, while the Palace Master of Manghu Palace was diverting trouble to other places, countless Soul-Eating Nightmares inside had already drawn Wen Yan and her group into their attack.

Monk Lan Yunzhu and Palace Master Lei Peng acted at the opportune moment, and countless verdant bamboo leaves flew like swords.

As the bamboo leaves fluttered down, lightning bolts of all sizes roamed among them, sometimes transforming into thunder rocs that snatched them up, or tearing apart the nightmare clouds with their sharp claws.

The group of seven was surrounded by crackling explosions. The Buddhist teachings and lightning practiced by Monk Lanyun had a restraining effect on the nightmare clouds. In an instant, thousands upon thousands of nightmare clouds dissipated under the double attack of Monk Lanyun and Lord Leipeng.

For the time being, this level of siege was not enough to make Meng Fushan and the four Dragon Lords take action, but Wen Yan and her group looked even more cautious.

The destruction of over ten thousand Nightmare Clouds was far from resolving the crisis; instead, the seven of them found themselves surrounded.

There were too many dark clouds surrounding them, with dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of them gathered together, constantly increasing the threat they posed.

The entrance to the cave behind them was also subtly changing under the cover of these nightmares. They had already entered a dangerous place, and it would not be so easy to turn back.

No one knows how much nightmare cloud hangs over this place; it's completely beyond the perception of even powerful rulers like them.

"Do you have a way to break this deadlock?" Wen Yan asked calmly, without refusing the request from the Palace Master of Manghu.

The fact that the enemy was besieged by the Nightmare Clouds didn't seem fake. Tens of millions of low-level demons from several races were driven into the cave and became food for the Nightmare Clouds.

While the possibility of ruthlessness cannot be ruled out, it's uncertain whether their group even entered the area previously. Only a madman would risk his own life, and countless tribes, for such an uncertain possibility.

"Excellent! Everyone, please help me resolve this immediate trouble, then we'll storm the Soul-Eating Nightmare Emperor's lair! With a dozen of us joining forces, even if he possesses extraordinary abilities, he'll have to submit!" The Manghu Palace Master was overjoyed upon hearing this, and the Red Demon Ant Queen and the others also relaxed slightly. (End of Chapter)
