Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1581 Testing
A corner of a remote sea area in the western region of the Eastern Star Mysterious Sea.

In the depths of the once sparsely spiritual blue sea.

Two figures stood in mid-air, and in an instant, the entire world seemed to be divided in two. One side was the primordial and profound dark demon realm, while the other side turned into a silent, gray-white death world.

"Since you insist on keeping me here, then please do!"

Zang Quan's expressionless, pale face remained completely still, and his voice began to grow hoarse, like the whisper of death.

"Fellow Daoist Zangquan, please!"

A faint smile appeared on Li Xuan's lips.

call!call!
As the Primordial Demon Scripture began to circulate, a vast, pitch-black demonic light instantly illuminated the heavens and earth, and a boundless, primal demonic nature seeped out from the depths of the world, as if to engulf the entire realm.

"It truly lives up to its reputation!"

Gazing at the young figure in black robes standing deep within the Dark Demon Realm, a solemn expression appeared in Zangquan's gray-white pupils.

"This person's methods and lineage are likely extraordinary; we must not be careless!"

The gray, mysterious mask hidden deep within the Burial Spring no longer spoke with its usual mocking and cursing. Instead, it took the initiative to warn in a deep voice, "The essence of that demonic power is far beyond what ordinary demonic inheritances can compare to. We must guard against its hidden methods!"

call!call!
Just then, from the depths of the Dark Demon Realm in the distance, a black demonic monument soared into the sky, and a scene of ten thousand demons paying homage instantly appeared. A series of frenzied roars resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and thousands of ferocious demon heads were born.

The Primordial Demon Stele, carrying immense primordial demonic power, pressed down towards the Burial Spring.

"Death Spear!"

At the same time, Zang Quan raised his hand, and an ancient, grayish-white spear shot into the sky, unleashing a torrent of deathly power before crashing into the Yuanmo Stele.

Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Death Spear, like a ghostly weapon, instantly pierced through the thousands of dark demons charging forward. The vast aura of death corroded down, and the demons, unable to withstand such power, decayed and collapsed one after another. The next moment, the Death Spear collided head-on with the Primordial Demon Tablet, and the vast power of death and the power of the primordial demonic path corroded each other.

The booming sounds caused the heavens and earth to tremble.

At that moment, the Blood Sun Tower erupted simultaneously, and billowing crimson demonic flames swept down towards the desolate world.

The next moment, an ancient gray scroll reappeared above the Burial Spring.

As the scroll slowly unfurled, a vast and mighty river of death surged forth. Upon closer inspection, countless tiny phantoms of living beings struggled and floated within it, resembling a true hellish spring. An unimaginable aura of death, capable of annihilating all things in heaven and earth, enveloped the world.

call!call!
The river of death swept relentlessly, and the unimaginable power of annihilation quickly extinguished the vast Blood Sun Demon Flame.

At that very moment.

The Primordial Demon Monument erupted once more, carrying immense primal demonic power that directly suppressed the Death Spear. Thousands of profound dark demonic lights automatically descended, enveloping it like layers of seals. At this moment, the River of Death, carrying countless phantoms of living beings, simultaneously arrived to provide support, and as it descended upon the Primordial Demon Monument, the streams of dark primal demonic light began to collapse rapidly at a visible speed.

"You do have some skill!"

A slight glint appeared in the depths of Li Xuan's dark, demonic eyes.

Although it was a simple test, the power he used was no less than that of an ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul expert in the outside world.

However, under these circumstances, the fact that this person who cultivated the Dao of Death was able to withstand his attacks head-on shows that he was quite skilled and probably possessed the strength to challenge a Nascent Soul stage expert at the peak of the late stage.

The next moment, Li Xuan no longer held back.

The Primordial Demon Scripture began to operate again, and an even more vast and pure demonic power poured out from the Primordial Demon Core.

hum!hum!
The Yuanmo Stele erupted once more, and the Myriad Demons Worshiping Diagram seemed to revive. One after another, even larger dark demons rushed out, and the young figure on the dark throne began to slowly take shape.

"This is bad! This person's strength is actually stronger than that of an average late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!"

A hint of tension finally appeared on Zang Quan's usually expressionless face.

To everyone's surprise, this mysterious demonic cultivator, who was also at the late Nascent Soul stage, was so terrifying; his true power had long since transcended the limitations of his cultivation level.

Sky burial!

The next moment, Zang Quan dared not hold back in the slightest. He raised his hands, and wisps of gray death marks emerged from the depths of his pale face.

In an instant, the entire world seemed to wither and decay, turning into a deathly gray-white color, and an even more vast power of death gave birth to countless death marks that continued to condense.

Swoosh! Swoosh!
The dark, primordial demon realm reflected in the mirror also began to collapse.

The overwhelming power of death is devouring the life force of all things in heaven and earth, and even the Dark Demon Realm is no exception.

"That's interesting!"

Li Xuan looked around at the desolate, gray-white world.

The ancient intent of the Great Dao of Death continued to accelerate its condensation, making the entire world seem unable to bear it, accelerating its annihilation, and thus transforming into an even more vast power of death that surged forth.

The entire world was being eroded by the intent of death.

At this moment.

The River of Death grew ever more mighty, like a true hellish spring, engulfing the entire Yuanmo Stele. Endless dark primordial demonic light continuously erupted and intertwined with the River of Death.

The next moment, Li Xuan's interest deepened even further in the depths of his dark, inky pupils.

He wanted to see if this person had any other hidden secrets.

"Ancient Demon Realm!"

"The origin of all demons, the source of ancient demons, transformed into a realm of demons, the Demon Realm of the Universe."

Deep within the primordial magic core, a gray-black light spot, woven from countless subtle ancient magic runes, slowly lit up.

call!call!
In an instant, an even more vast dark world began to descend, like an invisible, gigantic maw of darkness, instantly swallowing the entire world of death.

Deep within the Demon Realm.

Zang Quan could no longer remain calm, and a sense of horror welled up in his heart.

The Heavenly Burial Realm he personally created is collapsing rapidly at a visible speed. The surrounding world is like an ancient demon realm, with every wisp of dark demonic light containing pure primal demonic nature, leading the world to fall into depravity.

At this moment, he even gradually felt a loss of connection with the outside world, as if he had fallen into another abyss of demons, and was falling faster than ever.
"Oh no! Could this person be the reincarnation of some ancient demon? How could he be so terrifying!"

Even the ancient gray mask hidden deep within its body couldn't help but be shocked.

"Use your last resort immediately to make me appear and help you escape."

However, at this very moment...

But then, from the depths of the dark demonic realm ahead, a young figure in black robes reappeared.

"Fellow Daoist, do you truly intend to fight me to the death?"

Zang Quan stared intently at the young figure in black robes in the distance, endless gray light emanating from the depths of his gray-white pupils.

"Fellow Daoist Zangquan, please make your move. If this is all you have, you'll likely find it difficult to escape!"

Li Xuan waved his hand calmly.

But then, countless tiny demonic runes suddenly emerged from the seemingly ethereal dark demonic realm, and the power of the entire demonic realm instantly pressed down on the Burial Spring once more.

Within the ancient demon realm, enemies are suppressed by the power of the entire demon realm, and are frantically eroded and weakened, while he can be empowered by the power of the entire demon realm, thus unleashing even greater strength, a true case of one gaining at the expense of the other.

On the other side, a calm glint appeared in the eyes of Zang Quan, who was trapped in a desperate situation.

He knew very well that if he couldn't come up with a way to make the other side wary, he might really be in danger of dying in this battle.

The next moment, a gray vortex appeared on Zang Quan's chest, and a vast and boundless power of death poured into it, engulfing Zang Quan completely. Strands of twisted gray-white ancient patterns accelerated and condensed into a gray ancient pupil phantom.

Just then, a strange light flashed in Li Xuan's eyes.

Under his gaze, another unknown and mysterious aura of death emanated from Zang Quan's body and erupted simultaneously. Zang Quan's entire being completely etherealized and merged with the ancient gray pupil.
At the center of a massive vortex of death.

An ancient gray pupil, radiating an aura of annihilation, slowly condensed and took shape, then slowly opened.

In an instant, a gray beam of light, radiating an aura of eternal death, pierced through the layers of barriers of the dark, ancient demonic realm and descended upon Li Xuan. The barrier formed by the vast dark demonic patterns still failed to stop it in the slightest.

The moment Li Xuan was struck by that beam of death, he felt as if he were an old man nearing the end of his life. His powerful body began to exude an aura of decay and corruption from the inside out, and even his soul began to become somewhat confused and withered.

In addition, the entire beam of death, like an invisible giant maw, began to frantically devour the life force within his body.

The next moment, the hidden ancient demonic body automatically erupted. From the depths of the primordial demonic core, a vast and pure power of the Great Dao of Demons swept out, transforming into a mighty torrent that began to wash away the death and decay that no longer nourished the depths of the physical body. One by one, ancient demonic scales began to automatically condense.

"he!!"

Gazing at the scene in the distance, the Burial Spring deep within the phantom of the Death Pupil widened its eyes once more, revealing an expression of disbelief.

The young figure in black robes vanished, replaced by a humanoid monster clad in ancient black scales, with wisps of dark demonic light automatically cascading down.

From afar, the black, demonic-scaled figure appeared as a born demon born from the depths of the Demonic Path, radiating an even more terrifying, vast, ancient, and noble aura.

Even more terrifying things.

The power of the Death Eye was firmly blocked by that ancient demonic scale, making it impossible for it to advance even an inch further.

"Run! This person's true strength is approaching that of a Grand Cultivator!"

A terrified roar erupted from the depths of Zangquan's body: "Merge with me immediately and escape this place!"

Burial Spring reacted instantly as well; its enormous, ancient gray pupils vanished in an instant, transforming into a vast, surging torrent that flowed into his body.

However, just as Zangquan was about to desperately escape.

call!call!
The vast dark demonic domain on the outside dispersed on its own, and Zang Quan felt a sudden relaxation throughout his body, as there was no longer any suppression from the entire dark demonic domain.

"This is!"

Zang Quan suddenly looked into the distance.

But then, the ancient demonic scales around Dao's figure spontaneously dispersed, revealing his youthful face once more.

Then, under his gaze, the young figure in black robes who had reappeared began to actively dissipate his power.

Seeing this, Zang Quan felt a sudden sense of relief.

It seems they have finally survived this life-or-death crisis.

That act of actively dispersing one's power is precisely the other party's attitude.

"Thank you for showing mercy, fellow Daoist!"

Zang Quan gazed intently at the young figure in black robes in the distance.

The scene from just now resurfaced in my mind.

In particular, the ancient figure covered in black demonic scales was deeply imprinted in his mind.

What was a life-or-death crisis for him was really just a simple test by the other party.

Throughout the entire process, the opponent never used their true strength.

"As expected of the strongest prodigy on the Earthly Fiends Ranking, your strength is truly remarkable!" A profound meaning appeared in Li Xuan's eyes.

This person truly lives up to his reputation as a mysterious and extraordinary genius; he is indeed a person of remarkable strength.

Especially the methods he displayed at the last moment, which forced him to expose his ancient demon body, showed that he was no ordinary person.

What caught his attention even more was that the other party also possessed another, even more terrifying power, clearly indicating that they had other trump cards to save their lives.

"How could my methods compare to yours, fellow Daoist!"

A complex look appeared in Zangquan's eyes.

Both being at the late Nascent Soul stage, I never expected the other to be so terrifying; their true strength is probably approaching that of a Grand Master.

Even now, he was still wondering how confident he was of escaping safely from the enemy's all-out pursuit if he used his last trump card.

If he has a trump card, does that mean his opponent doesn't?
This is clearly impossible. In fact, given this person's methods and strength, there must be even more terrifying trump cards up their sleeve.

"I only wanted to spar with Fellow Daoist Zangquan just now, I hope you won't take it to heart!"

Li Xuan smiled faintly.

In fact, his real purpose in making this move was just to test the methods of this Burial Spring, not to really kill him.

He had no reason to harm him, both morally and logically.

This person is, after all, a member of the Earth Yang Alliance. Now that I am the leader of the Earth Yang Alliance, this Zang Quan can be considered one of my subordinates.

Furthermore, the other party did not possess the substantial benefits he valued.

Burial Spring cultivates the Way of Death, so even if the other party has a great opportunity hidden within them, it is meaningless to him and his true self.

"A friendly spar?"

The burial spring remained silent.

Although he believed that the other party's initial move was merely a test, he did not think it was just a simple exchange of blows.

If he didn't have enough trump cards to make the other side take him seriously, he would probably have perished long ago.

"From what I've observed, Fellow Daoist Zangquan seems to have come to this sea area to collect the power of death generated in the battlefield of Shangyuan Sect, right?"

"Not bad!"

Zang Quan nodded.

His previous actions were already known to the other party, so there was no point in hiding it.

"Doesn't this mean that if Fellow Daoist Zangquan needs to collect the power of death in the future, he will have to continue cultivating in this demonic realm?"

"I am willing to leave voluntarily and will not disturb Fellow Daoist Xuan Shi's plans and actions!"

Zangquan slowly revealed his attitude.

"no no!"

Li Xuan smiled and shook his head: "I have a better idea."

"Why don't you join our Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce, Fellow Daoist Zang Quan?"
