Becoming an immortal and ancestor begins with the golden toad spitting out money.

Chapter 153 Do your best, strength is paramount

Since Su Ji began cultivating, the light of the sun and the light of the moon have been invincible, but he never expected that the light of the moon would fail to work on this eyeless demon lord.

Yan Tianchou immediately analyzed, "The Eyeless Demon Lord has cultivated the power of lightning to perfection. When the Taiyin Heavenly Light froze this person's consciousness and thoughts, the lightning awakened him by stimulating his soul, but he will probably have to pay a price..."

For example, if someone suffers cardiac arrest, in order to bring them back to life, some people break a few ribs, while others use electric shocks. The price of surviving is to endure some pain.

After being awakened by the electric shock, the Eyeless Demon Lord regained his consciousness and senses, but his body felt numb. Even though he was very angry, he was still somewhat wary of the freak in front of him.

"The Spirit Guardian of Jinfeng County, I wonder which sect's Xuanmen Daoist seed he belongs to..."

Currently, most people still believe that Su Ji is a disciple of the Xuanmen Daoist lineage. The Eyeless Demon Lord even thinks that there might be other experts hiding in the shadows protecting the Golden Toad, the guardian spirit of the sun...

"The Ancient Insect Mother is still more important!" The Eyeless Demon Lord made an excuse for himself, abandoned the idea of ​​continuing to attack Su Ji, and rushed directly into the ground.

Su Ji had already prepared a backup plan, and now that he saw the Eyeless Demon Lord was about to successfully rescue the Ancient Insect Mother, he naturally could not sit idly by.

"The Spear of Earthly Yang!"

"The Spear of Earthly Yang..."

Su Ji's methods were incredibly powerful; even with the Eyeless Demon Lord's top-notch defense, it was impossible for him to remain completely unharmed.

However, the Eyeless Demon Lord simply endured it and headed underground without looking back.

When a cultivator enters the earth, he needs to first disperse the surrounding earth energy. Once the Eyeless Demon Lord has gone deep underground, Su Ji's Earth Yang Spear will have little chance of causing any damage to him.

Just then, many members of the Demonic Cult arrived nearby. Instead of directly entering the formation, they began to devise ways to slaughter the Qiu family members who were maintaining the formation.

"kill--"

Amidst the sounds of battle outside, Su Ji, in order to save more lives, simply changed his targets to the members of the Demonic Cult outside, while also guarding against the Eyeless Demon Lord and the Ancient Insect Mother underground.

At the same time, reinforcements arrived from afar. Under the combined attack from both inside and outside, even if the members of the Demonic Sect were frantic, they could only struggle in vain.

The battle within the Spirit Realm was nearing its end, and the silver-haired old woman and Sanqiu Jun both flew out.

Su Ji immediately told the two what had just happened and carefully checked their condition. It seemed that because the insect mother had long since fled underground, there were no insect eggs on the two of them.

"The Eyeless Demon Lord?"

The silver-haired old woman's expression changed drastically. She immediately flew towards the second elder of the Qiu family and shouted, "Mobilize all the power of the great formation! We must stop the Eyeless Demon Lord from rescuing the Ancient Insect Mother!"

Just then, the second elder of the Qiu family suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, looking weak, and said, "Second Aunt, quickly take control of the great formation! That Eyeless Demon Lord has already begun attacking the cracks in the great formation!"

The Second Elder of the Qiu family was only a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Cave Truth realm. To truly control the great formation, a high-level cultivator like the Silver-haired Old Woman was needed.

Sanqiu Jun then solemnly declared, "We must kill every member of the Demonic Sect; we absolutely cannot let a single one escape!"

Whether it's the explorer team, reinforcements, or members of the demonic cult, they are all in spirit form. Only the second elder of the Qiu family and his fellow cultivators are here in their true forms. They might have more resistance to spells and supernatural powers, but they are also more likely to die.

However, the evil must not originate from the Qiu family. Even if it means sacrificing many cultivators, we must prevent a future demonic calamity that could affect countless people.

Subsequently, Sanqiu Jun also joined the ranks of those controlling the formation, battling the Eyeless Demon Lord at the crack in the formation beneath the earth.

"Feathers of Yang Fire!"

The Mountain God Temple's Day-Roaming Spirit General used all his strength, but still couldn't kill as many members of the Demonic Sect as Su Ji had. Shocked, he couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.

"Back then, Jin Chan was only at the Lesser Mage level. Less than two months have passed, and his combat strength is now stronger than mine. It's truly unbelievable..."

Although combat strength does not represent power, it still caused the Mountain God Temple Day Wandering Spirit General to feel a great psychological gap. As for the feud between its grandson Firebird Yanchong and the Golden Toad, it was even more frightening.

Fortunately, the Sun-Watching Spirit General did not interfere in this matter back then, so he can now face this Sun-Watching Spirit General with equanimity.

The battle on the ground was extremely fierce. Most of the members of the Demonic Cult were quickly killed or wounded, but the remaining members remained incredibly frenzied. Some even died with a happy smile on their face.

Even Su Ji couldn't help but feel apprehensive about this: "If the reinforcements hadn't arrived in time today, the Qiu family would probably have been slaughtered by the demonic cult..."

Members of the Demonic Cult are not afraid of death, let alone have any reverence for life. Killing people is probably as commonplace to them as killing chickens, and wiping out a village is no different from destroying an ant nest.

Su Ji had never intended to hold back, and later, following Yan Tianchou's analysis, he pushed every profound technique to its limit. In his external attacks, he not only annihilated thirteen demonic generals but also personally killed two demonic king protectors.

Just as the battle on the ground was coming to an end, bad news came from the battle underground.

The silver-haired old woman said, "The Yellow Dragon Divine Beast has been crippled, and with the Eyeless Demon Lord's relentless sabotage, the cracks in the great formation are growing wider and wider..."

Right now, numerous cultivators are besieging them from the outside world. If their formation is blocked, the Eyeless Demon Lord will be powerless to turn the tide.

Therefore, the Eyeless Demon Lord could not choose the Spirit Realm as his escape route, and instead chose the crack in the great formation as his escape route.

After a moment's thought, Su Ji suggested, "The Sun-Watching Spirit General guards the formation. To stop the Eyeless Demon Lord from leaving with the Insect Queen, we need to bypass the formation and intercept the demon outside the crack..."

Once the demon escapes through the crack, it can choose to continue downwards along the crack or escape from the side of the earth beside it.

The deeper you go, the greater the pressure from the earth's energy becomes. If you go too deep, even a ghost king would find it difficult to move an inch in the dense earth energy.

Su Ji's suggestion was to block the possibility of the evil spirit escaping from the side.

As for the places deep within the cracks that contain malevolent energy, that's beyond Su Ji's comprehension.

It should be noted that if the demons had known the location of the space beneath the rift beforehand, they would probably have already made contact from there, and could have even cultivated a large number of demons without the aid of the spiritual realm.

Su Ji even suspected that the Yin Sha Rift underground was something even the evil spirits hadn't anticipated, until he opened the spiritual realm with the sunlight, which made the Yin Sha Rift known to the world.

The guardian spirit of the mountain god temple was the first to respond: "The guardian spirit is right, we absolutely cannot let the demon escape from the side area under the great formation!"

Subsequently, the Ghost King and the local deity who came to support them all responded in unison, and seven or eight Ghost King-level warriors headed down into the ground.

The Qiu family cultivators, despite their injuries, continued to maintain the formation under the command of Sanqiu Jun.

As for the members of the exploration teams who returned victorious from the Spirit Realm, they did not continue exploring the underground of the Spirit Realm, but instead came to the formation to be inspected by Su Ji.

Despite Yan Tianchou's investigation, nothing amiss was found among the remaining cultivators. However, suspicion could not be ruled out for everyone, so he could only wait with Su Ji within the formation.

A few breaths later, the silver-haired old woman brought good news: "The Eyeless Demon Lord failed to break through our defenses. Today, General You Ling and his party are about to reach the outside of the crack in the great formation. If we can seal the crack, we can even start repairing the great formation immediately!"

The Yin energy eroded the great formation and prevented its repair. This time, it was the guidance of the Insect Mother that led people to the location of the Yin energy rift, which felt like a blessing in disguise.

At this moment, Su Ji's expression turned serious, and he said to the members of the explorer team, "If the path below is blocked, the demons are very likely to return to the surface. It would be very dangerous for you all to stay here. It would be better to enter the Spirit Realm than to wait to die here!"

The Eyeless Demon Lord's Yin-Yang lightning was incredibly eerie. Even if the exploration team members could work together to fight it, many would likely perish in the process. Immediately, the leading Ghost King's expression shifted, and he assured them, "Why don't you let the Sun-Watching Spirit General enter the Spirit Realm with us? Even if we can't stop the Eyeless Demon Lord's advance, we can at least save our lives!"

The explorer team already knew the strength of the Eyeless Demon Lord. If the Insect Queen were added to the mix, it would be best for them to retreat. The space for hiding inside the formation was too small, while the space for escape in the Spirit Realm was much larger.

As long as you enter the spirit realm and find a place to hide, you can definitely hold out until the gods of Jiuxiang County arrive.

Seeing that the battle formation had been restored, Su Ji had the idea of ​​entering the spiritual realm to take refuge temporarily.

However, before Su Ji could move, a rumbling sound suddenly came from underground.

Immediately, the silver-haired old woman and Sanqiu Jun both changed their expressions, and the second elder of the Qiu family even spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Oh no! In order to break through the great formation, the Eyeless Demon Lord actually detonated that cloak!"

The Eyeless Demon Lord possessed top-tier defense thanks to his cloak, but now he has abandoned his defense in exchange for a chance to escape, giving the cultivators who were lying in ambush around the rift an opportunity.

"Feathers of Yang Fire!"

"The earth dragon is rolling!"

"Suanni Spirit Technique!"

"..."

The Eyeless Demon Lord was immediately attacked by many attacks. Even though these methods were not powerful, they were enough to severely injure him when they were all thrown out at once.

"The Yin-Sha Body!"

Instantly, the Eyeless Demon Lord went berserk, his body surging with Yin energy, and he even used the Ancient Insect Mother as a weapon.

Riyou Lingjiang and the others were unable to stop him at all, and could only watch as the Eyeless Demon Lord led the Ancient Insect Mother away along the Yin Sha Crack.

"Quickly, after them!" The group of spirits from the Mountain God Temple did not give up.

The Eyeless Demon Lord has overdrawn his body with Yin Sha, and he certainly won't last long. If he dares to leave the Yin Sha Rift, that will be their chance to slay the evil demon and gain merit.

However, after chasing for a while, they found that the earth's energy was becoming increasingly dense, and their pursuit speed gradually decreased to a snail's pace.

"The Eyeless Demon Lord and the Insect Queen are still inside the Yin Sha Rift!"

Although they couldn't catch up, they didn't see the demon escape from the Yin Sha Rift, which gave them more confidence.

To prevent the demons from returning, many cultivators stayed underground to monitor the movements of the Yin Sha Rift. Finally, after more than a hundred breaths, they received real reinforcements.

This time, the Qiu family's spiritual realm was involved with evil spirits. When the news reached Jiuxiang County, all the gods reacted immediately.

After all, the demonic calamity of more than a decade ago was still fresh in everyone's mind. Although many gods survived, they also lost a lot in that calamity.

As a result, the Jiuxiang County City God Temple dispatched a large number of elite troops, and even many deities from the Jinyan God Temple came.

At this moment, the ground was already surrounded by the gods of the City God Temple, and one of the true gods even revealed his divine form, which was more than ten feet tall, directly in the air, alarming many cultivators within a hundred miles.

The mountain god Lingjun of Baiyan Mountain Range immediately gave an order, dispatching the mountain god Lingguan to lead the gods to the destination, since Jushan was also part of Baiyan Mountain Range.

Upon receiving the news, the City God of Jinfeng County's City God Temple's expression suddenly changed: "The Supervising Spirit reported yesterday that he was about to go to Jushan at the end of the Baiyan Mountain Range. There are gods sealing off the heavens and earth there now. Supervising Spirit, please don't let anything happen to you!"

At this time, the plans for the Great Sun Wonderland and the Bright Moon Wonderland are being prepared in full swing. If something happens to the Golden Toad, the guardian spirit of the sun, that would be the greatest loss for the City God Temple!

If it weren't for the requirement for the City God Temple to have the City God Spirit Lord in charge, the City God might have already flown directly to Jushan by now.

The City God's spirit official was quickly summoned. Upon learning of the matter, he hurriedly comforted the City God, saying, "Since the deity has already appeared, Your Majesty need not worry too much. It seems that the guardian spirit will surely bring good fortune..."

With that, the City God led a group of deities toward Chrysanthemum Mountain, and before long the Old Man of Thousand Machines caught up with them.

In fact, Qianbian Town is the closest to Jiuxiang County. Even the Chenghuang Temple in Jinfeng County does not have as much influence on Jiuxiang County as the Mo family in Qianbian Town.

When the group arrived at Thousand Changes Town, the news also came.

The old man with the thousand machines looked solemn and said, "News has come from Jiuxiang County that there are traces of demons in the Qiu family's spiritual realm in Jushan, and members of the Undying Demon Sect have also shown up!"

Although more than a decade has passed since the Demonic Calamity, the Undying Demonic Cult has been difficult to eradicate completely. Every time one group is killed, another group keeps coming. Under the brainwashing of the Undying Demonic Cult, even the Old Man of a Thousand Miles dares not guarantee that the Mo family is completely innocent.

Soon, the City God of Jinfeng County and the Old Man of Thousand Machines arrived outside Jushan Mountain, but were stopped by the gods under the command of the Golden Flame God.

The City God of Jinfeng County was already prepared and said repeatedly, "The deities of the City God Temple of Jinfeng County have come here specifically to assist in the extermination of evil spirits. Moreover, the guardian spirit of our county is very important and needs our protection!"

The gods under the command of the Golden Flame God hurriedly consulted the true god, and soon received permission.

After the group from Jinfeng County entered the encirclement, they soon saw the group of cultivators being inspected. Only after seeing that familiar figure did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"The Spirit General of the Sun is indeed quite capable; he can encounter the merit of eliminating evil spirits as soon as he steps out!" The old man of a thousand machines, whose temperament is ever-changing, has now switched to the mode of a chivalrous knight.

The fact that Su Ji was safe and sound at this moment meant that the crisis had passed. At most, he would be checked and then he would be able to return to Jinfeng County.

However, Suji was not particularly excited.

Although they killed many demons and members of the demonic sect, the Eyeless Demon Lord and the Insect Queen disappeared into the Yin Sha Rift.

Most importantly, Su Ji also realized his shortcomings.

Even though the light of the sun and the light of the moon are divine powers, they are not without ways to counteract or restrain them. Treasures that used to be very useful are no longer able to keep up with his growth...

So Su Ji shook his head and smiled: "If I had known, I would have brought the top-grade mechanical puppet swordsman from home. Even if we couldn't defeat the Eyeless Demon Lord, we could have destroyed that insect queen before the Eyeless Demon Lord arrived!"

At that time, Su Ji was too busy to deal with everything, and he was also afraid that there might be other changes in the spiritual realm and the formation, so he did not risk going underground to hunt down the insect queen.

The old man of a thousand machines looked up at the sky and laughed: "If we had known that there were demons here, one swordsman would not have been enough. In order to eliminate the demons, the entire Mo family of Qianbian Town could have come out!"

The true strength of a swordsman lies in having a physical body. If one only brings a puppet spirit here, one is at most at the level of a day-wandering spirit general of the mountain god temple, and cannot be of much use.

External forces ultimately have their limits. Even the subtle mechanism "Golden Core Spiritual Heart" left behind by the Thousand Transformations Ancestor requires someone like Mo Linglong to unleash its invincible domain within three feet.

Su Ji now needs to not only create treasures that suit him, but also improve his own strength.

At this moment, Mo Linglong was refining a large deflecting spiritual weapon, and it wouldn't be difficult to refine a handy magic weapon along the way.

As for the improvement of the copper coin artifact and the golden toad clone, that can only be achieved through Zhang Xiaolian's real dream.
