Reborn Shang Zhou, angry at the sage Nuwa at the beginning

Chapter 2283

"Brother Ye, hurry!"

Qingxuan shouted and took out the evil-suppressing stone from the Kunlun Secret Realm, throwing it towards the crack.

The evil-suppressing stone exploded in the air, turning into countless runes that covered the surface of the cracks and began to seal the passage.

Upon seeing this, the black-robed demon's eyes flashed with panic. It tried to rush towards the rift, but Ye Chengyu held it back tightly.

"Want to leave? Stay!"

Ye Chengyu gritted his teeth and mustered his last bit of power. The power of spacetime transformed into a chain, binding the black-robed demon.

Qingxuan immediately stepped forward, and the power of Tai Chi combined with Ye Chengyu's power of spacetime to imprison the black-robed demon.

Lin Mo killed the last demon and ran to Ye Chengyu's side, taking out healing pills: "Brother Ye, how are you?"

Ye Chengyu took the pill and swallowed it, his breathing calming down slightly: "It's alright. This black-robed demon is very powerful, and we can't kill it, so we can only imprison it for now."

"The rift has been initially sealed, but the power of the evil-suppressing stone won't last long. We must return to Zhenxuan Mountain as soon as possible and ask our predecessors to completely seal the rift."

Qingxuan nodded, took out a jade box, and put the imprisoned black-robed demon into it: "There's no time to lose, let's retreat immediately."

The three of them did not linger and returned along the same route.

The monsters along the way, having lost the support of the rune array, were greatly weakened and unable to stop them at all.

Half an hour later,
The three successfully broke through the shadow barrier and returned to the top of Zhenxuan Mountain.

Di Xin and the others were already waiting there. When they saw the three return, they immediately went forward to inquire about the situation.

Ye Chengyu provided a detailed account of the Shadow Rift, including the number and strength of the Shadow Monsters, as well as the existence of the Black-Robed Monster.

Taishang Laojun frowned: "The vanguard of the Shadow Demon Realm has reached the mid-stage of the Great Emperor Realm, which means that their main force is even stronger. The Demon-Suppressing Stone can only seal it for three days."

"Three days later, the rift will widen again, and at that time, a large number of demons will flood in, and the Three Realms will face annihilation."

The Buddha said in a deep voice, "The essence of the power of shadow is devouring and erosion. Ordinary seals cannot block it for long. To completely resolve the crisis, we must take the initiative, go to the Shadow Demon Realm, and destroy their core essence."

Di Xin nodded and said, "What the Buddha said is absolutely right. However, the Shadow Demon Realm is extremely dangerous, with spatial distortions and the pervasive power of shadow. A slight mistake could lead to annihilation."

"We need to assemble an elite force, led by Ye Chengyu, with Xuan Chen, Qing Xuan, Lin Mo, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and Chi Jingzi accompanying them. I, along with Tathagata Buddha and Taishang Laojun, will stay behind in the Three Realms to stabilize the defenses and provide support to you."

Ye Chengyu gripped the Flowing Light Sword tightly, his eyes flashing with determination: "Please rest assured, senior, I will live up to your trust and lead everyone to destroy the Shadow Origin and protect the peace of the Three Realms!"

Lin Mo stepped forward, his tone firm: "I will also do my best and never back down!"

Xuan Chen, Qing Xuan, and the others nodded in agreement, willing to accompany Ye Chengyu to the Shadow Demon Realm.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and cracks began to appear in the evil-suppressing stone at the bottom of Zhenxuan Mountain, with the power of shadow overflowing once again.

Ye Chengyu and the others were ready, wearing specially made anti-shadow armor and wielding divine weapons.

Di Xin handed the Human Emperor's Decree to Ye Chengyu again, instructing him: "In the Shadow Demon Realm, spacetime is chaotic, making communication difficult. The Human Emperor's Decree can tear through space in times of crisis, allowing you to return to the Three Realms. Remember, act according to your ability; if something is impossible, do not force it." The Buddha and Laozi also presented Buddhist and Taoist treasures respectively to aid the group on their journey.

Ye Chengyu and the others walked towards the shadow rift at the bottom of Zhenxuan Mountain. The roars of demons came from the rift, and it seemed as if countless eyes were watching them from the darkness.

The moment they stepped into the rift, space warped, and the scene before them abruptly changed, revealing an endless expanse of darkness.
In the distance, a massive black castle can be vaguely seen; it is the core of the Shadow Demon Realm—the Shadow Heavenly Palace.

A new journey has begun. The Chaos Slayer Squad will face unprecedented challenges, and the truth of the Shadow Demon Realm is about to be revealed.

The fate of the Three Realms is in their hands!
The spatial distortion of the Shadow Rift far exceeded expectations. The moment Ye Chengyu and the others stepped into it, they felt dizzy and the shadow power around them was like countless cold needles, frantically piercing their meridians.

Lin Mo's personal Samadhi Fire amulet suddenly lit up, enveloping him in a golden light that dispelled most of the corrosive power.

The warmth of the nine-turn Bodhi seed in his palm instantly calmed his chaotic mind.

"Steady your mind!"

Ye Chengyu activated his spacetime power, and a silver-gray halo spread out, enveloping the six people within it.
"The laws of space here are distorted by the source of shadow. Ordinary flight will trigger spatial storms, so we can only move forward on foot."

Everyone held their breath. The ground beneath their feet was as black as ink, and stepping on it felt like stepping on soft, rotten mud, making a "sizzling" sound. Black sap seeped from the soil, emitting a nauseatingly sweet and foul odor.

far away,

The silhouette of the Shadow Palace grew clearer in the darkness; the castle was entirely constructed of obsidian, its spires piercing the inky sky.

The city walls were covered with twisted runes, and purple lightning crackled between them, occasionally slashing down and tearing a brief rift in the surrounding darkness.

Watch your step.

Qingxuan gently swayed his Tai Chi whisk, and black and white energies spread out on the ground, forming a temporary path.

"These soils contain shadow insect eggs. Once they invade the body, they will hatch inside and devour the cultivator's source power."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Ruyi scepter in Manjushri Bodhisattva's hand shot out six rays of Buddha light, which landed at the feet of the crowd, forming a golden protective shield that completely isolated the soil from them.

“Every inch of the Shadow Demon Realm is fraught with danger; we must remain vigilant at all times.”

Manjushri Bodhisattva's voice was calm and steady as he scanned the surroundings: "Just now, I sensed a strong energy fluctuation about ten miles to the left, which seems to be a gathering place for demons."

Chi Jingzi took out the Bagua Mirror, and its light pierced through the darkness, reflecting the scene on the left:

Countless dark figures writhe in a vast valley, where a black totem pole stands in the center, its surface wreathed in dense shadow power that spreads outwards.

"That's a shadow totem, which can amplify the strength of surrounding monsters and monitor unusual activity within a certain range."

Chi Jingzi said in a deep voice, "To avoid the totem's surveillance, we need to go around to the right and cross Black Wind Ridge."

Ye Chengyu nodded and immediately adjusted his direction: "Black Wind Ridge has a complex terrain, which is perfect for concealing our tracks. Master Xuanchen, please use the Bodhi prayer beads to cover our presence."

Xuan Chen clasped his hands together, and the Bodhi prayer beads spun rapidly. Golden Buddhist power transformed into a thin layer of light, completely concealing the auras of the six people.

"Don't worry, this is a Buddhist concealment technique. Unless you encounter a demonic creature at the Great Emperor level or above, it will be extremely difficult to detect."
