Yinshan Record

Chapter 571 This place connects to the Blood River Pool (Part 2)

Using the power of the elemental magnetism as a pull, and forcibly tearing it apart from the inside, Su Che finally broke open the demon's corpse.

However, the result of breaking through was somewhat unexpected by Su Che.

These demons have no internal organs; they appear to be made entirely of bones and muscles.

These muscles and bones seem to have been forged from metal.

These demons were less living beings and more like puppets...

This reminded Su Che of when he traveled through the starry sky with Li Shouchang within the Huangtiandao Sect and encountered a group of Heavenly Demons. These demons before him seemed to resemble the Heavenly Demon Slave Clan.

However, demons are trapped outside the Nine Heavens and are affected by the various laws of heaven and earth, so there is absolutely no possibility of them appearing here.

Could this be the manifestation of some supernatural power of a powerful demonic cultivator who once lingered here?
Su Che didn't have much research on the different types of extraterrestrial demons, but generally speaking, demons are a special kind of creature that is invisible yet has substance.

They do not possess their own spiritual essence and must rely on the spiritual essence of other beings to exist.

Specifically, ordinary low-level celestial demons have no physical form.

For this reason, the lowest level of celestial demons is called "no thought of birth" by cultivators.

Above the concept of non-birth, there are two more levels: the Heavenly Tribulation and the Lord of the End of Dharma.

The Heavenly Tribulation is analogous to the Immortal of Longevity, while the Lord of the End of Dharma is comparable to the Earth Immortal of the Mysterious Sect.

For example, Liu Hua Wu Chen Tian, ​​whom Su Che had just encountered, was a Heavenly Tribulation under the command of a certain End-of-Day Lord. And the Mighty and Fearless Heavenly Demon King, Na Luo Yan, who had been tricked to death by everyone and whose head was stepped on by Yu Li Zi to prove his Dao, was also an End-of-Day Lord.

Generally speaking, the Heavenly Demons themselves also have a pyramid system. At the very top is the Lord of the End of Dharma, which is the various Heavenly Demon Kings. Below the Heavenly Demon Kings are their "retinues," which are the cultivators who have been corrupted and enslaved, and who are subdued by the power of the extraterrestrial calamities. Below that are even lower-level Heavenly Demons.

When the Lord of the End Times is mobilized, it is often a grand spectacle of hordes of demons emerging.

Among them are slave tribes created by these degenerate lords through sudden inspiration and technological inventions.

These slave races were originally a race from another world, but because they were conquered or plundered by the Heavenly Demons, they were specially bred into slaves who could be driven to perform other tasks that the Heavenly Demons could not undertake.

This is somewhat similar to the primordial alien species created by the ancient demon gods.

Or, to put it more accurately, the ancient demon gods, by learning from the successful experience of the Heavenly Demon lineage, independently developed this new product, the Primordial Eccentric Species.

Even ancient demon gods were affected by this, let alone other demonic sects.

This is why cultivators often encounter some novel things when they fight against the demonic sects.

Su Che was also curious about the origin of this demon.

After all, we will inevitably encounter such demons later, and we may have to face similar methods when facing the demonic sect in the future.

Young Master Su also wanted to learn from his mentor's glorious deeds, such as single-handedly crushing the Northern Demonic Sect.

The research had just begun when Su Che encountered experts in the relevant field.

Ye Hu appeared slightly flustered, his black robe riddled with tears, and a bloody gash ran across his chest. However, his resolute expression remained, revealing his original heroic spirit.

"Brother Zuo?"

He spotted Su Che in the distance and quickly rode the wind to get closer.

"Ok?"

Su Che looked at this person with some wariness.

The demons of this world clearly possess the ability to see into people's hearts and transform them into illusions.

Young Master Su had just seen the illusory Celestial Masters and the old emperor, and had also casually sent Lingzhenzi to his death.

Who knows if this Ye Hu in front of me is the real deal or just a fake?
"This has gotten out of hand."

Ye Hu sighed and said, "I don't know what Rakshasa Sea has been up to here, that it has disturbed the original restrictions of the Celestial Masters Sect and released the old demon sealed here."

"Old Demon?"

"Of course it's not his true form. That guy has been sealed since the Middle Ages, and his spiritual essence is almost gone. He's just a half-dead living dead."

Su Che looked at Ye Hu and felt that this guy was probably not right.

That old Taoist priest also had the problem of speaking incoherently. What does "half-dead living dead" mean?

Are there living dead people who are completely dead?
“Our sect’s records state that the old demon sealed here was the Supreme Elder of Yaoguang Palace. Yaoguang Palace had a fundamental secret technique called the ‘Heavenly Demon Six Desires Transformation Scripture,’ which could cultivate demonic spirits and differentiate demonic thoughts. Only a True Immortal of Longevity could perform it, so I guess this fellow used it for such purposes. After Yaoguang Palace was wiped out, this secret technique was later acquired by our sect’s predecessors and is now in my Beiji Yuan Palace.” Upon hearing this, Su Che appeared relieved.

"Judging from how skillfully Brother Ye handles this, you must be very adept at dealing with such demonic spirits, right?"

Ye Hu frowned as he looked at Su Che, his aura shifting slightly.

"Haven't you seen the differentiated demonic spirits? These things can see into people's hearts and use the thoughts in your heart to create illusions..." Ye Hu asked curiously.

It turned out to be the case.

Su Che pondered Ye Hu's words and wondered why he had suffered such an experience.

He had gone down into the secret cave with Lingzhenzi, and he believed that Lingzhenzi had some knowledge of this place and might be able to help him escape.

He also believed that this place had a deep connection with the old emperor, after all, that old scoundrel had done a lot of rotten and disgusting things here.

Similarly, the Celestial Masters sect, because this place is their seal, naturally assumed that there must be a backup plan for them here...

That's why those demonic thoughts manifested in that way.

These are all my deepest desires. The methods of the Heavenly Demon are indeed effective in attacking people's hearts invisibly.

So, Su Che looked at Ye Hu in front of him, his body surging with sword intent, preparing to make a move.

While they were studying these demons, they thought that Ye Hu, as a member of the demonic sect, must know something about them, so the demonic thought transformed into Ye Hu's appearance.
As soon as the sword intent was unleashed, Ye Hu's aura completely dissipated.

"Brother Zuo, please hold your hand. I really am Ye Hu."

Ye Hu didn't know why his hostility had completely subsided, and he was now completely certain that Su Che was not a manifestation of demonic thoughts.

"Ok?"

Seeing Su Che's question, he quickly explained.

"This secret technique is extremely profound, but no one in my Arctic Yuan Palace cultivates it. It is simply shelved. Brother Zuo, do you know why?"

"Because this secret technique has a major drawback. For some reason, it is inherently countered by sword cultivators. The demonic thoughts that emerge from it are often severely injured when they encounter any sword intent. Perhaps it is because sword intent often directly targets the human heart. Back when Yao Guang Palace was not destroyed, sword cultivators in this world had not yet risen to prominence. Yao Guang Palace was rampant for a time, but after they all died, within a few hundred years, the Sword Palace rose in the East Sea. This technique was essentially rendered useless."

“Brother Zuo’s sword intent is profound; it must not be a manifestation of demonic thoughts.”

Su Che muttered the name of the technique, "The Heavenly Demon Six Desires Transformation Scripture," wondering whether Yao Guang Palace was lucky or Beiji Yuan Palace was unlucky.

Su Che's thoughts shifted.

"So, the demonic thoughts that this ancient demon split off from are completely useless? Then why was Brother Ye injured?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Hu smiled wryly: "Brother Zuo, don't you know where this place is?"

This is Jiankang Underground.

Su Che naturally shook his head.

"This place is called Blood Chariot Hell, also known as Blood River Realm. It is a world corrupted by the Mighty and Fearless Heavenly Demon King. He raises slaves here and makes them fight each other endlessly. Then he takes them out to fight against other Lords of the End of Dharma."

“Our sect has records that when Yaoguang Palace was about to perish, it tore open the void at the last moment, connecting this world with the Blood Chariot Hell. You and I are probably in the middle of the intersection of the two worlds right now.”

"I was injured by the Heavenly Demon Slave Clan of this place."

Ye Hu couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Brother Zuo, we've really had a terrible run of bad luck to end up in such a place."

"What do you mean?"

"This place is a void crevice."

Ye Hu still managed a bitter laugh, "This time it looks like things have really gotten out of hand."

A void gap?

Su Che felt a headache coming on as soon as he heard the word.

It seems that this time we will not only see the masters of the Celestial Masters Sect, but perhaps even the masters of the Xuandu Palace.

That is, if you are still alive.
