The Rise of the Sect: I am the most persistent person in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 1187 Twenty True Immortals Set Up a Grand Formation, Two Soldiers Slay the Demon
After listening to Ye Yang's plan, Yan Qingying's eyes flashed with determination, and she immediately nodded.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Ye, I will go and send the order to all the True Immortal cultivators to come and meet at the core of the secret realm after they have cleared the demon's nest."

After saying that, she took out a communication token and channeled her Dao power into it through her fingertips.

Soon, the instructions and commands were clearly transmitted to the consciousness of every True Cultivator.

In less than half an incense stick's time.

The cultivators who were clearing out the demon nests in the four directions of east, west, south, and north outside the secret realm rushed back one after another.

Elder Zhang, leading five people from the east side, was the first to arrive.

His clothes were still stained with black demonic blood, and the spiritual light on the Pine Breeze Sword had not completely dissipated.

Seeing Ye Yang and Yan Qingying standing in front of the Magic Crystal Hall, he quickly stepped forward and bowed.

"Master Ye, Master Yan, what urgent matter brings you to summon us?"

Ye Yang glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice.

"Now we need your help to stabilize the spatial barrier first, and then together we will kill that Void Refinement Realm demon."

"I am willing to obey the orders of the Dao Ancestor!"

More than twenty True Immortal cultivators responded in unison without the slightest hesitation.

They were well aware of the dangers of spatial rifts and knew that if left unchecked...

If the Demon Ancestor of the Thunder Tribulation Realm forcibly breaks through, the entire secret realm and even the outside world will be plunged into catastrophe.

Ye Yang nodded, raised his hand and took out dozens of jade tablets engraved with spatial runes from his storage ring, distributing them to everyone.

"This is the 'Spatial Repair Jade Token,' which can guide magical power to repair spatial rifts. Please follow me, and we will begin from the perimeter of the Magic Crystal Palace and gradually advance outwards."

The group accepted the jade tokens and activated their magical powers.

In an instant, more than twenty streams of magical power of various colors surged out from the jade tablet.

Like a stream flowing into a river, it surged towards the cracks in the surrounding space.

Ye Yang and Yan Qingying personally oversaw the core rift of the Magic Crystal Palace.

Ye Yang summoned the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword, and the azure-gold sword energy transformed into fine threads of light, wrapping around the edge of the crack and stabilizing the ever-expanding space.

Yan Qingying then took out a high-grade spirit stone and continuously poured its pure spiritual energy into the crack.

With the power of the jade pendant's runes, it gradually filled the gap in the space.

Elder Zhang led the five people from the east side to the largest crack on the east side of the secret realm.

He held the Pine Breeze Sword, a wisp of powerful magic gathering at its tip, which slowly traveled along the crack as he uttered a low shout.

"rise!"

The other five people simultaneously pressed the jade tablet onto the crack.

The pale golden rune light intertwined with Elder Zhang's magical power.

The constantly twisting cracks gradually stabilized, and the black spatial turbulence was firmly locked in place.

Li, the leader of the Southern Branch, led everyone to a crack near the Blackwater River, where the water had become turbid due to the influence of the spatial rift.

Black demonic energy even seeped out from the cracks.

Leader Li retrieved the core of the defensive array from the spirit boat, embedded it into the ground near the crack, and then poured his magic power into it together with his disciples.

The magic circle glowed with golden light, not only blocking the spread of demonic energy but also accelerating the repair of the spatial rift with the help of the river's spiritual energy.

Time slipped away quietly amidst everyone's busy schedules.

From dawn to dusk, and from night to dawn.

As the first rays of dawn pierced through the clouds of the secret realm.

The group finally finished repairing the last large spatial rift.

The secret realm, which was originally riddled with cracks and on the verge of collapse, has now become much more stable.

The demonic energy in the air also dissipated by most due to the repair of the spatial barrier.

Ye Yang raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, feeling the stable spatial fluctuations around him, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He and Yan Qingying have barely rested these past few days, as they have to personally repair the core cracks.

She also had to guide other cultivators in using the jade tablets. Although she was somewhat tired at the moment, the light in her eyes became even sharper.

"The spatial rift has been initially stabilized. Next, we will head to the temple to deal with the demon in the Void Refinement Realm."

Yan Qingying also put away her magical artifact and spoke in a deep voice to the crowd.

"Gentlemen, although the demons in that temple have been sealed for many years, their strength should not be underestimated."

"When setting up the formation later, you will need to control your magic power precisely, and there must be no mistakes."

"I'll understand later!"

The crowd responded in unison, their eyes showing no fear whatsoever.

Ye Yang said no more and turned to walk deeper into the secret realm.

"Come with me."

The group followed closely behind, and the twenty-odd figures sped through the secret realm like a long dragon.

The low-level demonic cultivators along the way were so frightened by this spectacle that they scattered and fled, not daring to offer any obstruction.

About an hour later.

An ancient temple, entirely black, appeared before everyone's eyes.

The temple walls were covered with ancient runes, and the chains hanging from the eaves swayed in the wind, making a "click-clack" sound.

Even from several miles away, everyone could feel the terrifying demonic energy emanating from the depths of the temple.

Although that aura was sealed and suppressed, it still sent shivers down one's spine.

Ye Yang stopped and turned to face the crowd, saying...

"Gentlemen, this is the temple."

"Elder Zhang, you take five people to the east side of the temple, Chief Li, take five people to the west side, and Deacon Wang, take five people to the south side."

"Yan Daozu and I, along with the rest of the men, will guard the north side."

"Once I give the signal, we will set up the 'Demon-Slaying Purification Array' together. We must not let the demons escape."

"As ordered!"

The crowd immediately dispersed.

Following Ye Yang's instructions, they took up positions around the temple.

Elder Zhang held the Pine Breeze Sword, his eyes fixed on the temple gate.

The magical power circulated slowly within his body.

Leader Li then took out a formation-breaking talisman, ready to deal with any possible demonic formations.

Yan Qingying stood beside Ye Yang, her long sword gleaming with a faint blue light, and her primordial spirit power had reached its peak.

Ye Yang sensed the presence of the people around him and, seeing that everything was ready, slowly raised his hand.

The Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword gleamed with a dazzling azure-gold light in his hand.

"Everyone, form the battle formation!"

As his words fell.

More than twenty cultivators simultaneously activated their magical power.

Streams of various colored spiritual light surged from their hands, weaving into a huge net of light in the air.

It enveloped the ancient demon palace.

Above the light net, countless purification runes flowed, emanating a breathtakingly pure aura.

Deep within the temple.

The Void Refining Realm demon, bound by chains to the Xuan Iron base, was closing his eyes to meditate.

Although the black demonic energy surrounding him had become sluggish due to the seal, it still carried a chilling sense of oppression.

At that moment, he slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were blood red.

Just as the magical net of more than twenty True Immortal cultivators enveloped the temple.

A hint of panic appeared in those bloodshot eyes.

The purifying power emanating from the light net burned his demonic energy like oil being poured over a raging fire. What sent chills down his spine even further was that the light net also contained two auras far exceeding those of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators. One of them, a cyan-gold magical power, reminded him of the cultivator who had sealed him away years ago!

"They've returned; they're here to take my life!"

The next moment, as if he had thought of something, he roared and struggled.

The thick arm yanked the chain violently.

The black iron chains creaked under the weight, and the ancient runes on the temple walls flickered and dimmed under the impact of the demonic energy.

At that moment, a sense of pain arose from the depths of my being.

Just as he frantically urged his demonic energy to break through the seal.

The temple gates were blown open with a loud bang.

Holding the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword, Ye Yang cleaved through the oncoming demonic energy with his azure-gold sword aura and stepped into the temple first.

Yan Qingying followed closely behind, her longsword humming as pale blue magic power condensed into a shield around her, isolating her from the surrounding evil energy.

"You wretched creature, today is your death day!"

Ye Yang's voice was icy cold as he pointed the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword directly at the Demon Clan. The dragon patterns on the sword flowed, and the roar of an azure dragon could be faintly heard.

Seeing Ye Yang's intimidating aura, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, but he still forced himself to roar.

"Human cultivator, don't be arrogant! You provoked me many times last time you came here."

"If any of you dare to barge in today, you will all be buried with me!"

After saying that, he suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a ball of pitch-black demonic fire. The demonic fire ignited as soon as it hit the ground, turning into several fiery vines that wrapped around Ye Yang and Yan Qingying.

"Little tricks!"

Yan Qingying snorted coldly and swung her longsword.

The pale blue sword energy fell like a torrential rain, instantly slicing the fiery vines into pieces.

At the same time, Elder Zhang and the others outside the temple also noticed the commotion inside and began to unleash their magical power.

Soon, the purification runes within the light net burned even brighter, and golden arrows of light pierced through the palace walls, shooting towards the demons.

The demon ancestor was hit by the arrow of light.

In an instant, the black demonic energy on his body melted away like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun.

Several charred holes were also left on his shoulder.

Black blood gushed out from the hole. He was in excruciating pain, but he still refused to give up.

He suddenly looked up, his bloodshot eyes filled with rage, and his demonic energy surged again. Ignoring the loss of his own essence, he forcibly grew a pair of pitch-black demonic wings.

"You want to kill me? Today I will show you the power of my demon race!"

With a flap of its demonic wings, countless black wind blades shot towards Ye Yang and Yan Qingying.

Wherever the wind blades passed, deep marks were carved into the black iron floor of the temple.

He formed a hand seal, causing the ground to tremble. Several barbed demonic bones emerged from the ground and coiled towards Elder Zhang and the others outside the hall.

"On my command, unleash your full power!"

At Ye Yang's command, the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword flew out of his hand.

The cyan-gold sword energy transformed into a lifelike cyan dragon, which opened its massive jaws and lunged at the demon.

His body glowed with spatial runes, and he instantly appeared behind the demon.

The Evil King Blade, enveloped in a black mist that could devour everything, slashed towards the demonic wings of the demon race.

Yan Qingying was not to be outdone. Her long sword gleamed with a dazzling blue light, and a sword aura tens of feet long condensed, like a cascading silver river, and slashed towards her opponent's chest.

"broken!"

Countless sword energies collided with demonic energy, producing a deafening roar. The ancient runes on the temple walls flickered violently, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.

"Those on the east side, form ranks!"

Elder Zhang gave a low shout, and the five True Immortal cultivators on the east side quickly took their positions.

Countless magical powers intertwined to form a massive wind blade, which shot towards the demon's back.

Leader Li then led the five people on the west side to combine the formation-breaking talisman with the purification artifact.

Golden beams of purification pierced through the palace walls, like countless tiny suns, constantly scorching the demonic energy of the demon race.

"West side, listen up! Use the purification beam to restrain the demons and prevent them from having a chance to self-destruct!"

Under Ye Yang's command.

The steward on the south side was equally decisive, taking out an ancient mirror engraved with sealing runes and infusing it with magical power.

At this moment, he was already being bitten on the left shoulder by Ye Yang's Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword, and was being forced to retreat repeatedly by Yan Qingying's sword energy.

Just as he was about to flap his demonic wings to dodge, the Evil King's Blade came slashing down.

One of the demonic wings was severed with a "crack," and black blood gushed out.

"No! I'm not reconciled!"

The demon twisted its body frantically, trying to break free of the sealing light chains, but the sealing runes on the chains kept flashing.

With each struggle, a purifying force would flow into his body along the light chain, scorching his primordial spirit.

"You wretched creature, you are powerless to change the situation now, why don't you surrender?"

"Surrender? My demon race has never admitted defeat! Even if I die, I will drag you down with me!"

"Since you won't let me live, then we'll die together!"

Before he finished speaking, the demonic energy around him suddenly surged, and he began to burn his own essence.

The black iron chains gradually developed cracks under the corrosive influence of demonic energy.

Upon seeing this, Ye Yang's face darkened.

"Oh no! He's about to self-destruct! Everyone, activate the formation with all your might to suppress his demonic energy!"

Upon hearing this, the more than twenty True Immortal cultivators dared not slacken in the slightest and poured all their magical power into the light net.

In an instant, the light network contracted.

Golden purifying power surged into the temple like a tide, firmly suppressing the demonic energy surrounding the demons.

Elder Zhang, wielding the Pine Breeze Sword, unleashed a powerful azure sword aura that pierced the air and struck the demon's shoulder, causing black demonic blood to splatter out.

Leader Li then threw the formation-breaking talisman into the air, and the talisman transformed into a golden light screen, blocking the shockwave generated by the demon's self-destruction.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yan Qingying pressed forward, her long sword pointing directly at the demon's heart.

"You wretched creature, surrender now!"

At this moment, the demonic energy around him was suppressed by the power of purification.

Even the burning of his primal energy was interrupted, and his eyes were filled with despair.

"Don't think about it!"

Ye Yang had already seen through his intentions, and the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword and the Evil King Blade were drawn simultaneously.

The cyan-gold sword energy and the pitch-black blade energy intertwined to form a tai chi pattern, instantly blocking the demons' path.

The black mist on the Evil King Blade surged, emanating a devouring power that continuously absorbed the demonic energy surrounding the demons.

The demon was cut by the sword energy, causing his vital energy to drain away even faster. He staggered backward and could no longer hold on.

He fell to his knees with a thud.

At that moment, the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword and the Evil King Blade simultaneously pierced the space between the eyebrows.

The pale blue purifying power instantly surged into his sea of ​​consciousness.

The demon let out a final, shrill scream as its consciousness was completely destroyed. Its massive body crashed to the ground, turning into wisps of black mist that were absorbed by the "Demon-Slaying Purification Array" in the air.

As it perished, the surrounding demonic energy dissipated at a visible speed.

Even the ancient runes on the walls gradually regained their luster.

It is no longer as gloomy as before.

More than twenty cultivators breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing tired but gratified smiles.

Just then, Ye Yang seemed to notice something and suddenly let out a soft "Eh," his eyes sharpening.

"This is……"
