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

The Seven Lives Taoist's shout had just faded.

Ye Yang instantly pinpointed the weakness of the magic ball.

Now that he was under the magic ball, he could feel more clearly the surging demonic energy on its surface.

However, there is an indescribable sense of stagnation at its core.

Clearly, that was a loophole caused by Master Sixing forcibly fusing the remnant power of the Demon Ancestor, resulting in his own demonic energy and the external power not being able to perfectly match.

"Alright! Fellow Daoists, lend me a hand! Today, let this charlatan be brought to his knees!"

Ye Yang let out a low shout, and the vast power around him suddenly surged, like a raging flame burning around him.

next moment.

He gripped the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword tightly in his left hand and held the Evil King Blade loosely in his right.

With a light tap of his feet in the starry sky, his figure left several afterimages in place.

After breaking through to the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm, especially due to his previous research on the Void Escape Technique, his control over spatial power became increasingly proficient.

At this moment, even the movement of his body carried a faint sense of spatial distortion.

"The blade flows through the years, the sword is hidden in the void, traversing heaven and earth, swiftly and fiercely descending to the mortal world!"

I don't know how many years have passed.

The combined sword and saber technique was used once again.

This was a technique Ye Yang had mastered in his early years, combining sword and saber techniques, but using it today was completely different from before.

As the incantation was recited, the dragon patterns on the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword fully awakened.

One after another, illusory blue dragons flew out from the sword, spewing sword energy capable of tearing through space from their mouths.

The Evil King Blade split into countless forms, surrounded by numerous purple-gold demonic flames.

As the blade spun, it created a massive whirlwind, which contained countless tiny blade energies.

What's even more shocking is that, driven by the swords, the space around Ye Yang began to tremble slightly.

One after another, pale golden spatial cracks appeared around him.

This is the "vast power of the void" unique to the Refinement of Void realm!
At this moment, the vast power of space merged into the sword techniques, adding an irresistible pressure to the already domineering attacks.

"This...such terrifying spatial power?"

Master Si Xing let out a terrified roar inside the magic sphere, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes as he tried to escape.

But it is already late.

Amidst the whistling of swords.

Ye Yang slashed forward with his sword.

The next moment, the azure dragon and the purple-gold demonic wind merged instantly, transforming into a two-colored stream of light.

Countless spatial rifts coiled around the flowing light, like a giant python exuding an aura of destruction, rushing towards the core of the magic sphere.

The black demonic arrows along the way were instantly torn apart by spatial rifts upon touching the flowing light, leaving not even a trace of demonic energy behind.

"No! I can't die! Lord Demon Ancestor is still waiting for me!"

Master Si Xing's eyes were filled with fear.

He frantically urged the magic ball, trying to mobilize all the demonic energy to resist.

The magical patterns on the surface of the magic sphere flickered wildly, and countless black magic shields flew out from the sphere, layer upon layer, blocking the front of the core.

However, these magic shields were as fragile as paper in the face of the two-colored light.

The stream of light, carrying spatial rifts, easily pierced through the magic shield and crashed into the core of the magic sphere without even pausing.

Boom!
A deafening roar echoed throughout the starry sky, and the magic sphere shattered like broken glass, sending black demonic energy flying everywhere.

However, before they could fly very far, they were firmly locked in place by the suction force emanating from the Evil King Blade, and all of them converged towards the blade.

Soon.

The demonic body of Master Sixing flew backward from the demonic energy, a huge wound being cut into his chest by a spatial rift.

The demonic energy was rapidly dissipating from the wound, and the once-powerful aura instantly withered.

"Want to run?"

Ye Yang's eyes turned cold. He quickly formed hand seals, and his Dao power suddenly condensed behind him.

The next moment, two enormous sword wings appeared out of thin air, and within the wind and thunder sword wings, every sword aura flickered with lightning.

Ye Yang used the Void Escape Technique, took a light step, and flapped his sword wings, instantly increasing his speed several times over.

Only a streak of blue light remained in the vast starry sky.

In the blink of an eye, they caught up with the Star Master who was trying to escape.

Meanwhile, the battle on the other side was also nearing its end.

Qingyun Sanren held a whisk, and the blue light flowed like a nimble snake, severing all the tentacles of a fairy in a rainbow dress.

Then a streak of light pierced her head, and the fairy's body instantly turned into black smoke.

Meanwhile, the array masters of the Extraordinary Heavens Sect experienced a surge in their Yang energy.

Within the formation, lightning struck like lightning from the sky, cleaving open the chests of several strongmen.

The warriors roared as they fell, their bodies quickly swallowed by the demonic energy in the starry sky.

In the blink of an eye, all the demonized fairies and warriors perished, leaving only the Star Master in the starry sky.

Master Sixing had already escaped to the void using his escape technique.

At that moment, feeling the terrifying pressure coming from behind, he looked back in despair.

Behind Ye Yang, the Wind and Thunder Sword Wings flickered with lightning, and cyan-gold sword energy swirled around him, making him appear terrifying.

"Fellow Taoist, spare your life!"

He continued to try to beg for mercy, his face full of pleading.

But it is already late.

Ye Yang's eyes were cold, and he remained unmoved.

"late!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword and the Evil King Blade rushed out and were already in front of him.

"No! I'm not reconciled!"

Seeing that there was no hope of begging for mercy, a glint of madness flashed in Master Si Xing's eyes. He suddenly detonated the remaining demonic energy in an attempt to perish together with Ye Yang.

Before the demonic energy could explode, the Evil King Blade emitted a strong suction force, sucking away all the demonic energy. Master Si Xing's body instantly lost its support and became shriveled.

With a single sword strike, Ye Yang severed the head of Master Si Xing from his body.

His primordial spirit infant had just broken free from his body when it was firmly locked by the suction force of the Evil King Blade, flying towards the blade like a kite with a broken string.

The Dharma Image let out a shrill scream in mid-air, but was unable to break free and was eventually completely devoured by the Evil King Blade.

The Evil King Blade absorbed the Dharma form and demonic energy of the Star Master, causing its purple-gold light to surge. Faint Daoist charms even emerged from the demonic patterns on its surface, as if it had broken through to a new level.

The sound of swords clashing echoed through the starry sky, carrying a hint of excitement and satisfaction. At this moment, with the death of Master Sixing, the surrounding environment instantly underwent a dramatic transformation.

Originally lingering.

This is no fairyland at all; it's clearly a deathly wasteland filled with black rocks!

Countless skeletons of cultivators were scattered on the ground, their remains already corroded by demonic energy, gleaming with a bluish-black luster.

The surrounding rocks were covered with strange magical patterns, from which dark green venom would seep out and drip onto the skeletons, making a sizzling sound of corrosion.

Even the spiritual energy had become extremely thin, leaving only a chilling stillness.

"This...this is what this place really looks like?"

Everyone turned pale at the sight before them.

Qingyun Sanren lightly waved his whisk, dispelling the surrounding demonic energy, his brows furrowed.

"It seems that the 'Immortal-Luring Array' can not only disguise the fairyland, but also shield the real environment. If we hadn't seen through Master Sixing's trick, we would probably still be kept in the dark and step into the death trap step by step."

The Seven Lives Daoist walked to a rock, his fingertips gently touching the demonic runes with his Daoist power, his expression solemn.

“These demonic runes are part of the ‘Soul Devouring Array,’ which can slowly devour a cultivator’s foundation and primordial spirit.”

"Master Sixing lured us to ascend to immortality before, probably to lead us into the formation and make us nourishment for the 'Soul Devouring Formation' to help the remnant soul of the Demon Ancestor recover its power."

Ye Yang looked at the deadly wasteland around him, a cold glint in his eyes.

"The remnant soul of the Demon Ancestor is quite cunning. First, he used the inheritance to lure us, then he used the fairyland as a disguise, leading us step by step into a dead end."

"Unfortunately, despite his meticulous planning, he didn't anticipate that we could see through his trick."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Yang raised his hand and recalled the Evil King Blade. The moment he grasped the hilt, a surge of pure energy flowed into his body.

That was the Dao power remaining in Master Sixing's body. After being refined by the Evil King Blade, it became gentle and pure, which was just right to replenish the Dao power he had consumed in the previous battle.

"This place is not safe to stay for long; the full power of the 'Soul Devouring Array' has probably not yet been revealed."

Ye Yang looked at everyone.

"We must find the true place of inheritance as soon as possible, obtain the inheritance, and leave this perilous place immediately."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Having experienced this fierce battle, they had gained a deeper understanding of the dangers of the Demon Ancestor's Tomb.

As soon as Ye Yang finished speaking, the array masters from the Zhutian Sect couldn't wait to get to work.

"Fellow Daoists, please wait a moment, there are still some things here."

Before he finished speaking, the Seven Lives Daoist put away the magic array, squatted down, and gathered a wisp of Dao power at his fingertips, gently brushing it across the bluish-black rock beneath his feet.

However, when the power of the Dao touched the magic patterns on the surface of the rock, it caused a slight ripple.

"Something's not right! These magical runes seem to be arranged randomly, but they actually contain a hidden pattern!"

The next moment, he seemed to discover something, his eyes lit up, and he took out a palm-sized bronze array plate from his storage bag.

As the array plate was taken out, it miraculously merged with the surrounding rocks.

Soon.

The moment the array plate came into contact with the magic runes, dozens of tiny light patterns lit up on the surface of the plate, subtly echoing the magic runes on the rock.

"There must be a node of an array hidden beneath this rock! The energy flow of the magical runes is all converging in this direction!"

The Seven-Life Taoist pressed the bronze compass close to the rock.

As the compass needle spun wildly, it finally pointed steadily to the center of the rock.

A faint red glow appeared on the surface of the plate.

Clearly, this is a signal detected from a high-order array node.

"That's right! Moreover, the energy fluctuations at this node are very strong, and it is highly likely that the core magical artifact that maintains the 'Immortal-Enticing Array' is hidden inside!"

Other array masters from the Zhutian Sect also gathered around, taking out their respective array tools.

The remaining two, one holding a black iron chisel, carefully pried at the rock along the cracks in the magic runes.

The other person used a peach wood array ruler to fix the key nodes of the magic pattern to prevent the array from backfiring during the prying process.

Someone else took out a yellow talisman and stuck it on the rock. The talisman instantly burst into flames, and the masculine energy it emitted temporarily suppressed the ferocity of the demonic runes.

"Boom!"

With a soft sound, the half-foot-thick rock was successfully pried open, revealing a groove about a foot deep.

Within the recess, a jet-black mirror-like magical artifact floats in mid-air, its surface gleaming with a faint black light.

If you look closely, you can see the blurry image of the "fairyland" reflected in the mirror.

The Seven Lives Taoist, being knowledgeable and experienced, spoke up.

"It was this very artifact that led us into the illusion created by the Star Master."

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be... the illusionary artifact 'Nine Nether Soul Devouring Mirror'!"

The Seven Lives Taoist's pupils shrank sharply, his voice filled with shock.

"It is said that this artifact can weave an illusion that is indistinguishable from reality, and can also quietly devour the cultivator's primordial spirit and power within the illusion."

"That Master Si Xing is only at the Refinement of Void Realm, but he was able to trap us in the Immortal Realm Illusion, all thanks to this Dao artifact!"

Qingyun Sanren reached out to pick up the Soul-Devouring Mirror, but as soon as his fingertips touched the mirror, he was repelled by a powerful demonic aura.

A black mark instantly appeared on the back of my hand, accompanied by a burning sensation.

"Such powerful demonic energy! This artifact has been tempered by the remnant power of a demon ancestor at the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm or above; ordinary Dao power simply cannot touch it!"

He quickly circulated his Dao power to dispel the demonic energy, but the black mark on the back of his hand was still clearly visible.

Seeing this, Ye Yang stepped forward. He raised his hand and grasped the Soul-Devouring Mirror, and the Evil King Blade instantly emitted a burst of purple-gold light.

The powerful suction force emanating from the blade acted like an invisible hand, drawing away all the demonic energy surrounding the Soul-Devouring Mirror.

Without the envelopment of demonic energy, the demonic patterns on the surface of the Soul-Devouring Mirror dimmed slightly, revealing the true material of the mirror.

It resembles bone but is not bone, resembles wood but is not wood, and is like gold and jade. It feels cool to the touch, yet it exudes a heart-pounding energy fluctuation.

"Although this Soul-Devouring Mirror is a demonic artifact, it has extremely high value."

"If we can purify the remnants of the Demon Ancestor's power within, we can not only use it to detect illusions, but also reverse the illusion array to deal with future dangers."

Just then, the Seven Lives Taoist made a new discovery under a rock not far away.

The crowd gathered around to take a look and saw three fist-sized magic cores in the groove, each radiating a dense black light and exuding pure demonic energy.

There was also a jade box next to it. When you opened it, you could see that it contained more than a dozen crystal-clear mid-grade spirit stones and a yellowed ancient book.

The cover of the ancient book reads "Secret Record of the Enticing Immortal Array".

"It seems that these demonic cores were used by Master Sixing to nourish the Soul Devouring Mirror, and they contain extremely pure demonic energy!"

The Seven Lives Taoist picked up a demon core and sensed the fluctuations of demonic energy within it.

"That ancient book should contain the method for setting up the 'Immortal-Enticing Array'."

Qingyun Sanren and Ye Yang exchanged a glance, and everyone looked at the treasure in front of them and spoke with smiles.

"Now that the treasure has appeared in the world, it's time to divide it up properly." (End of Chapter)
