Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Everyone looked at the old green mantis. It hesitated for a moment and said, "My ancestors in the Fu clan did indeed explore the Blood Sun several times in the past and made some gains."

"There are definitely no ancient demons in this blood sun, otherwise it would be impossible for them to have not appeared for thousands of years."

"However, our ancestors were incompatible with death energy, and in order not to expose their presence, they dared not get too close, and they knew little about what was inside."

"Judging from your cultivation levels, although they are above mine, they are only equivalent to the Void Breaking Realm of my Green Mantis Clan. Our ancestors were also at the same level. If you want to enter the Blood Sun Realm, it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven."

"However, if we just approach the Blood Sun and conduct a rough survey of the perimeter, there shouldn't be any danger."

A glint flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes. He turned around and smiled slightly: "What I predicted was indeed correct. Even if we cannot enter the Blood Sun, seeing it with our own eyes is better than a few empty words."

"If we are lucky enough, we might actually obtain some treasure left behind by an ancient demon, which would be extremely powerful evidence, and we might even have the chance to meet the Great Sage Moving Mountains directly."

"Most importantly, the blood-red sun is right before our eyes. If we turn back now, wouldn't we be entering a mountain of treasures and returning empty-handed?"

A fiery glint flashed in everyone's eyes. Chen Yuan's words were exactly what they wanted to hear. They didn't know how much the reward would be, but even if they could only get a tiny share of the treasure left behind by a Demon Ancestor, it would still be an incredible opportunity.

Yanhuang Demon General said, "I agree with Fellow Daoist Beiming's suggestion! If we don't enter the tiger's den, how can we catch the tiger cub? If we go back now, we will only bring back news that we don't know if it is true or not. I'm afraid we won't even be able to see Bloodtooth Demon Saint."

"At most, I'll get a few bottles of Body Tempering Pills, which will greatly increase my chances of advancing to a high-level Demon General and breaking through to Demon King."

"Why don't we explore first? If we really find any treasures, would the Great Sage take them away?"

Iron-Winged Demon General said, "That's right, fortune favors the bold. We entered this fragment of the realm in search of opportunity, and now that opportunity is right before our eyes, how can we miss it?"

The demon general frowned and said, "In my opinion, a bird in the hand is worth more than a thousand birds in the forest."

"This blood sun is very likely left behind by the Demon Ancestor. The risk is too great. It's better to be more cautious."

"Fellow Daoist Fu's ancestor's cultivation was no less than ours, yet he was helpless against the Blood Sun. Why should we gamble on that sliver of an illusory opportunity?"

"Moreover, I have heard that the Great Sage Who Moves Mountains is always fair and discerning in his dealings."

“We have reported the matter of the Blood Sun. Even if it is as Fellow Daoist Beiming said, that it was affected by the shattering of the Green Mantis Realm and its power was almost gone, it is not our fault.”

"The Great Sage will likely still bestow treasures upon us, rather than taking his anger out on us demon generals."

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Demon General Qi Yan: "What does Fellow Daoist Qi Yan think?"

Qi Yan, the Demon General, lowered his head and pondered for a moment before slowly speaking: "In my opinion, what you two fellow Daoists said makes a lot of sense."

"Fellow Daoist Guixiao is mature and prudent, but somewhat conservative."

"Fellow Daoist Beiming doesn't want to miss this opportunity, but he's being a bit too aggressive..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan and the Ghost Demon General both frowned, but he immediately changed the subject: "However, Fellow Daoist Fu just said that if we only approach the Blood Sun and conduct a rough investigation, there is not much risk."

"Moreover, Fellow Daoists Yanhuang and Tieyi also agree with Fellow Daoist Beiming's proposal, so I cannot object. Therefore, I will go to Blood Sun with the three fellow Daoists to investigate."

A smile appeared on Chen Yuan's lips, while Gui Xiao Yao Shuai's expression was rather unpleasant.

Qi Yan Yao Shuai added, "However, we must be cautious on this trip and not be greedy for quick success."

"This blood-red sun was left behind by the Demon Ancestor. We don't know what kind of methods he left behind, but it is definitely not something we can withstand."

Chen Yuan nodded: "Of course, we are here to seek opportunities, how can we just throw our lives away?"

"Now that the three fellow Daoists have all agreed, what is your opinion, Fellow Daoist Guixiao?"

Chen Yuan looked at the Ghost Demon Commander, and the other three Demon Commanders also turned to look at him, waiting for him to make a decision.

Ghost Demon General frowned, hesitating. Flame Emperor Demon General urged, "What is there for you to hesitate about, Fellow Daoist?"

"We have already agreed to advance and retreat together on this trip. The five of us will join forces to explore the Blood Sun. Even if there are any risks, they will be greatly reduced."

Iron-Winged Demon General also advised, "If we gain anything, you will also get a share. Such a golden opportunity is rare, how can we miss it?"

After pondering for a long time, the Demon General Guixiao looked at Chen Yuan deeply and sighed: "Alright, although I don't want to cause any trouble, since all four of you fellow Daoists have this intention, how can I stay behind alone? I will go with you four fellow Daoists."

The crowd's expressions softened. They not only needed the demon general's fierce spirit to clear the way, but they also didn't want him to be left alone.

Otherwise, if the Ghost Demon Commander were to quietly return to the Burning Demon Realm while they were investigating the Blood Sun and report the matter to the Ginseng Demon King, the rewards they would receive would be greatly reduced.

After discussing the matter, the group no longer hesitated and asked the old green mantis to open the stone door so they could return to the underground cave.

The interface's essence has been corrupted by demonic energy, making it impossible to fathom the profound mysteries it contains. Staying here is a waste of time.

The Green Mantis King, who led his clan, was unwilling to let his people move into the Burning Demon Realm and give up his throne, even though he knew that this fragment of the interface was in imminent danger. In the original space of the interface, he spoke out against the old Green Mantis.

Moreover, it had long been accustomed to the power brought by the death energy. If the death energy were completely erased, it would be unable to absorb it and would eventually die from the backlash of the death energy within its body.

However, its strength was far inferior to that of Chen Yuan and his group of five, and it had no power to resist.

In order to save his life in the royal city, the Green Mantis King bowed to the five people, but then he was on the verge of fighting with them over whether to send out the Green Mantis army to search for the whereabouts of the old Green Mantis and the others. He was fickle and greedy, and was destined to meet a bad end.

However, now is not the best time to kill the Green Mantis King. In order to manipulate the Soul-Summoning Banner, the Ghost Demon General had learned many human ghost-based supernatural powers. He immediately sent a fierce ghost into the Green Mantis King's body, which allowed him to temporarily control its body.

After everyone left the cave, the Green Mantis Clan, whose expressions were already stiff, did not reveal any flaws. They instructed the surrounding Green Mantises to retreat a thousand feet and remain on guard, not to approach the cave. Then they returned to the cave.

Because everyone had spent a lot of time in the Origin Space, the Green Mantis army that had been pouring in from all directions numbered over a thousand, including many Green Mantis nobles whose strength was comparable to that of a demon general.

They were all eager to rush into the cave and wipe out the Green Mantis rebels when they heard the Green Mantis King's decree, and were extremely surprised.

But since this was a personal order from the Green Mantis King, no one dared to disobey. They could only retreat to a distance, filled with doubt, and dared not approach.

After the Green Mantis King re-entered the underground cave, the Ghost Demon Commander commanded four fierce ghosts to enter its body and cast the Five Ghosts Soul-Locking Technique, rendering it unable to use any of its abilities.

Qiyan Demon General set up another formation, locking the Green Mantis King inside. The two prisons, one inside and one outside, were extremely difficult to break.

Only then did everyone leave the underground cave with the old green mantis. The old green mantis had a deep and restrained aura, but its emerald green body, which was not tainted by any death energy, was completely different from other green mantises that absorbed death energy, and could be distinguished at a glance.

However, the Green Mantis army had already retreated to a distance, and their vision could not penetrate the deathly aura wandering in the sky and earth, so they could not see the scene of the old Green Mantis flying out of the cave.

The group took to the air and flew towards the royal city, which was also the place where the Blood Sun was closest to the earth and where the death aura was most concentrated. It was for this reason that the Green Mantis Clan established their royal city here.

Along the way, Chen Yuan and his group of five asked the old green mantis about the Blood Sun, and it naturally answered them all.

The blood-red sun hung high in the sky, overlooking the earth.

As demonic energy continued to erode the Heavenly Dao, the blood-red sun gradually merged into this fragment of the interface, transforming into a celestial phenomenon.

Sometimes it disappears, sometimes it appears, like the sun rising and setting, but in reality it always stays above the royal city.

The death aura around the Blood Sun is the densest, but it does not originate from within it; rather, the death aura in the world naturally attaches itself to it.

Over time, the death energy solidified into a tangible form, transforming into a sea of ​​death energy that completely enveloped the blood-red sun.

The ancestors of the ancient green mantis repeatedly explored the Blood Sun, but were always blocked by this sea of ​​deathly energy and dared not go too deep.

They contain no trace of death energy. The death energy in the world is too thin to pose a threat to them, but the death energy in this sea of ​​death energy is too pure, and even divine stones cannot conceal their forms.

If they venture deep into it, they will trigger a deathly chaos.

Although they are protected by the divine stone and their lives are not in danger, they are very likely to attract the attention of the Green Mantis King.

If the Green Mantis King were to explore the Blood Sun and unleash its hidden power, completely destroying the fragments of the Heavenly Dao, they would be doomed to die a thousand deaths.

If Chen Yuan and his group of five enter the Sea of ​​Death Qi, it will also trigger a death qi storm, but with their strength, they can easily withstand it.

As for what dangers await beyond this sea of ​​deathly energy, even the old green mantis had no idea; he could only be extra careful.

The group also inquired about the strange beasts whose bodies were reduced to skeletons. The old green mantis replied, "Those evil beasts whose bodies contained pure death energy that had condensed into black crystals will continue to absorb death energy from heaven and earth if the black crystals remain in their bodies after death."

"The flesh and blood of such evil beasts are completely eroded, leaving only bones. Their strength is much greater than when they were alive, but their intelligence is greatly reduced, leaving only instinct."

The Ghost Demon General said thoughtfully, "The death energy comes from the mutation of demonic energy. These strange beasts can be considered a kind of mutated demonic beast, and the black crystals in their bodies are a kind of mutated demonic core."

"It seems that this kind of magic core is extremely special. These mutated magical beasts can continue to absorb death energy after they die, which is of great value."

"We can collect more and hand them over to the Demon King; we should be able to exchange them for quite a few treasures."

……

Although the old green mantis was not as strong as the green mantis king, it was much faster. The group arrived at the royal city in no time.

It was sunset, the blood-red sun receding into the horizon and sinking into the earth, the sky darkening.

But everyone knew that this was just an anomaly caused by demonic energy eroding the essence of the interface; the real blood sun had always been hanging in the sky.

Without lingering, the group flew towards the sky, with the old green mantis following behind, holding the divine stone.

The farther they got from the ground, the denser the death aura became. Their spiritual senses were constantly compressed, forcing them to slow down their escape speed. Only after careful exploration did they dare to continue forward.

The group flew for over 20,000 feet until it was completely dark. The deathly aura around them was almost tangible, though not quite as strong as the deathly aura in the original space of the interface, but not far off.

Chen Yuan and his group of five were forced to circulate their true essence and demonic power to form a protective shield against the erosion of death energy.

Only the old green mantis was protected by the divine stone, an invisible barrier firmly protecting it. Death energy surged around it, but it was powerless against it.

At this moment, everyone's divine sense could only extend to within thirty feet around them. The old green mantis slowed down its escape speed and said in a very solemn voice: "We have already gone deep into the Sea of ​​Death Qi. According to the records of our ancestors, this Sea of ​​Death Qi is at least three thousand feet deep. Our ancestors have never been to any deeper than that. Please be careful, fellow Daoists."

Everyone's expressions turned solemn, and they dared not be careless in the face of a treasure left behind by a demon ancestor.

The group slowed their escape speed, spread out slightly, and scanned the area within thirty feet around them with their divine senses, not missing any subtle movements.

The death energy here has turned into a deep black color, covering the sky and earth. It is extremely pure, comparable to the black crystals inside the bodies of beasts with the strength of a high-level demon general.

It's a pity that the Green Mantis Clan cannot directly absorb death energy from heaven and earth; otherwise, this place would be nothing short of a sacred cultivation ground for them, and Green Mantises comparable to Demon Kings or even Demon Saints would have been born long ago.

As the group continued forward, wisps of death energy surged in from all directions, converging together like a ferocious giant python, crashing violently against the demonic energy shield, disintegrating, then reforming and attacking the group again, endlessly repeating the cycle.

Death energy certainly lacks intelligence, but it originates from demonic energy and is the opposite extreme of neutral and peaceful spiritual energy. It instinctively devours, erodes, and destroys everything.

However, for the Demon General, this level of death energy erosion was nothing, and he could even resist it directly with his physical body.

However, the death energy entering the body requires the expenditure of demonic power to dispel it. Since there is no spiritual energy to replenish it in this fragment of the interface, every strand of demonic power is extremely precious. Condensing it into a protective shield will actually consume less power.

The group quickly ventured three thousand feet into the Sea of ​​Deathly Aura, surpassing the deepest point that the ancient Green Mantis ancestor could reach.

The death energy here became even purer, and everyone's spiritual senses were further compressed to twenty feet, forcing them to slow down their escape speed once again.

Chen Yuan frowned, and two silver lights suddenly appeared deep in his eyes, extremely conspicuous in the pitch-black death aura. His aura also subtly changed, attracting everyone's attention.

Chen Yuan said calmly, "Fellow Daoists, please do not be alarmed. I am merely using a pupil technique to check the situation ahead."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but their eyes still held a hint of surprise as they looked at Chen Yuan.

Yanhuang Demon General's face lit up with joy: "I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Beiming not only has profound cultivation, but also has mastered such profound pupil techniques. It seems that I will have to rely on Fellow Daoist a lot on this trip."

Chen Yuan said solemnly, "It was Kun who suggested investigating the Blood Japan, so naturally it is my duty."

"This place restricts spiritual sense too much. I urge all fellow Daoists to stay close to me and not scatter. If anything happens, we can lend a helping hand in time."

Ghost Demon General gave Chen Yuan a deep look and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Beiming has revealed his skills, I dare not hold back either."

After saying that, he flipped his hand and took out the Soul-Summoning Banner, summoning three fierce ghosts, two high-level demon generals, and a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, who then flew forward.

Feeling more at ease, the group clung tightly to Chen Yuan and the Ghost Demon General, carefully flying upwards.

The deathly aura around them surged even more violently, forming a vortex where they were, drawing in all the deathly aura within a hundred feet, creating a tremendous spectacle.

Having flown three hundred feet, Chen Yuan suddenly stopped, his eyes narrowing. He said in a low voice, "Fellow Daoists, please wait. A hundred feet above us, there is a slumbering skeletal beast that seems to have been awakened by us and is flying this way."

Everyone was startled and immediately slowed their escape, taking out their magical treasures and weapons, and secretly preparing themselves.

After a moment, the Ghost Demon General's face darkened: "Not good! One of my vengeful ghosts has been torn to pieces by this skeletal beast. Judging from its cultivation level, it is at least equivalent to that skeletal giant lizard. Fellow Daoists, please be careful!"

The expressions of the group changed slightly. Only after the five of them joined forces could they barely kill the giant skeletal lizard.

The deathly aura here is so dense and pure that the skeletal beasts are even more formidable. How can they possibly stand against it?

But before they could even begin to discuss, a massive skeletal falcon appeared above them, only twenty feet away, carrying boundless death energy that coalesced into an even larger death energy falcon, which swooped down menacingly.

Chen Yuan said sternly, "These bone beasts are not very intelligent, they only have instincts. They have no other means of attacking enemies except by relying on their skeletal bodies and manipulating death energy."

"As long as we work together, it won't be difficult to eliminate them." "The Blood Sun is right ahead; we must not fail now. Fellow Daoists, do not hold back; follow me to meet the enemy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of black wings unfurled from his back, and he raised his Demon-Slaying Blade and charged forward.

Seeing Chen Yuan take the lead, the crowd no longer hesitated, gripped their magical weapons, and followed closely behind.

The demon general raised his hand and made a hand seal, summoning the giant python and the human scholar, the two most powerful evil spirits.

He bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood essence to suppress the spirituality of the human scholars, causing them to unleash their supernatural powers and attack the giant skeletal falcon.

The old green mantis was too weak to make a move, so it stayed beside the demon general, tightly gripping the divine stone to protect itself.

The white bone giant falcon's body contained extremely dense death energy, and its cultivation level was above that of a high-level demon general. Its immense strength was also extremely terrifying. By mobilizing the pure death energy around it, its strength increased dramatically, almost comparable to the weakest Void Refinement Demon King.

Even with the five of them working together, they were completely outmatched and were all sent flying backwards.

The vengeful giant python let out a miserable howl as its illusory body shattered and reformed in the distance, though its aura was noticeably weaker.

However, the magical weapons they possessed also caused considerable damage to the giant bone falcon.

In particular, the black stone staff in the hands of the Yanhuang Demon General, with its surging deep red magma, seemed to be especially effective against these bone beasts, directly destroying the two bone claws of the white bone giant falcon.

The giant skeletal falcon roared, flapped its wings, and endless death energy gathered, overwhelming and crushing the tiny Yanhuang Demon General.

The deathly aura was like a sea, suppressing heaven and earth, freezing space. He could not use the teleportation technique and could only block it head-on.

Yanhuang Demon General cried out urgently, "Fellow Daoists, save me!"

At the critical moment of life and death, he put away his black stone staff, his figure flickered, and he was about to reveal his true form to fight the giant skeletal falcon to the death.

Chen Yuan's expression changed, and he shouted, "No!"

Before he finished speaking, he sheathed the Demon-Slaying Blade, took out the Azure Sea Halberd, and his black hair suddenly turned snow-white. A strange fish-like dharma image ten feet in size appeared behind him, and his aura surged.

The ferocious and menacing deathly pythons all around suddenly dispersed, seemingly in fear of this peculiar Dharma form.

Chen Yuan flapped his wings, unleashing a violent spatial force that forcibly tore through the stagnant heaven and earth, instantly teleporting to the front of the Yanhuang Demon General.

Two jet-black beams of light emerged from his arms and converged on the Cangming Halberd. They were very similar to death energy, but deeper and purer, without a trace of evil or sinister intent.

With the full activation of both True Spirit Bloodlines, Chen Yuan possessed immense strength comparable to a peak high-level demon general. Although he was no match for the White Bone Giant Falcon, he was not far off.

The Deathly Giant Falcon was completely unable to withstand the sharp Azure Sea Halberd; one of the White Bone Giant Falcon's claws was severed in one strike.

However, Chen Yuan was also invaded by endless death energy and endured a claw attack from the giant white bone falcon. Under this immense force, he was sent flying back a hundred feet, only to be stopped by the stagnant death energy and barely managed to stabilize himself.

His face was deathly pale, a line of blood trickling down from the corner of his mouth, and his body was shrouded in a thick black aura, exuding a deathly stillness, making him look similar to a bone beast.

However, the giant skeletal falcon, severely injured, let out a miserable cry. The two dark ghostly flames in its eye sockets dimmed considerably, and its energy waned.

Everyone was shocked, both by Chen Yuan's sudden display of formidable strength and by the ferocious aura of the giant skeletal falcon.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the death energy within his body. He looked at Yan Huang Demon Commander with eyes like knives and said in a deep voice, "The death energy here is like a sea. You must not transform it into your true form, otherwise, the endless death energy entering your body will surely lead to your death."

"Fellow Daoists, please face the enemy with confidence. If anything goes wrong, I, Kun, will come to your rescue."

The Fiery Demon General dared not look Chen Yuan in the eye. He turned his head away, gripped the black stone staff tightly, and with a sway of his body, charged toward the giant skeletal falcon.

Everyone knew that the opportunity was fleeting, so they seized the moment when the giant skeletal falcon was injured and launched a relentless attack.

The greatest advantage of the Bone Giant Falcon is its ability to manipulate endless death energy, but its physical strength is similar to that of the Bone Giant Lizard.

It is now seriously injured, its strength has decreased significantly, and its advantage has been greatly weakened.

The group no longer collapsed at the first touch. Even in dire situations, Chen Yuan would come to their rescue, gradually stabilizing the situation and engaging in a battle of wits with the enemy.

Three hours later, the group finally managed to kill the giant skeletal falcon, but they were all injured, especially Chen Yuan.

His strength suddenly surged, and after severing one of the giant skeletal falcons' claws, his aura weakened considerably. However, he was still able to block the giant skeletal falcon head-on, creating an opportunity for the others to attack. He contributed the most, and naturally, his injuries were the most severe.

Chen Yuan held the corpse of the giant skeletal falcon in one hand, as light as a feather, and held the halberd in the other. His white hair fluttered in the deathly aura, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

His gaze slowly swept over the crowd: "I, Kun, will take the black crystal inside this beast. Do any of you fellow Daoists have any objections?"

Everyone was secretly alarmed and shook their heads in unison.

Qi Yan, the Demon General, looked down at the head of white hair, a hint of apprehension in his eyes: "Fellow Daoist Bei Ming has such supernatural powers, I admire you."

Ghost Demon General stared intently at Cangming Halberd, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it, revealing nothing.

Fellow Daoist Yanhuang clasped his hands in a bow: "Thank you for saving me, Fellow Daoist Beiming. Otherwise, I would have already turned back into my original form and died from the erosion of death energy."

Iron-Winged Demon General remained silent, but a hint of surprise and doubt appeared in his eyes as he looked Chen Yuan up and down.

Chen Yuan's white hair returned to normal, his aura subsided, and he said calmly, "This is a secret human technique that I obtained by chance, but the price is not small, so I dare not use it easily."

"But Kun will certainly not hold back when he proposes to explore the Blood Sun this time."

After saying that, he took out the black crystal from the body of the giant skeletal falcon, and then took out several of the hardest white bone spiritual materials, which he distributed to everyone. He smiled and said, "Fellow Daoists, you all contributed a lot to slaying this skeletal beast."

"I will accept this piece of black crystal, but if I encounter another bone beast and obtain another black crystal, I will distribute it among you fellow Daoists."

Everyone perked up, clasped their hands in thanks, and continued flying upwards.

Among the demon race, there are many who cultivate demonic supernatural powers. Demonic cores containing pure demonic energy are extremely valuable, especially this kind of mutated demonic core, which is extremely rare and no less valuable than body-tempering elixirs.

This sea of ​​death energy is so pure that there must be many bone beasts in it. Even if we can't enter the Blood Sun, killing a few more bone beasts will still be a great gain.

……

The Sea of ​​Deathly Qi seemed to remain unchanged since time immemorial. Only where the group flew did deathly qi surge forth from within a radius of several hundred feet, violently surging and creating an astonishing spectacle.

Not long after, the group encountered another bone beast, which was of similar strength to the Bone Giant Falcon and was slowly absorbing death energy while it was asleep.

Even the surging death energy had no effect on it. It was only when the group entered within a hundred feet of it that it was awakened and rushed towards them.

Just like when dealing with the giant skeletal falcon, Chen Yuan's black hair turned snow-white again, a strange fish dharma image condensed behind him, he took out the Cangming Halberd and blocked the bone beast head-on, while the others waited for an opportunity to attack.

Several hours later, everyone successfully killed the bone beast, but each of them was injured. Chen Yuan was the most seriously injured, and after dispelling the secret technique, his energy weakened again.

The way the four people looked at him slowly began to change.

Chen Yuan ignored it and, in accordance with the previous agreement, did not take the black crystal, leaving the four of them to distribute it as they saw fit. He even left the white bone spiritual material to them.

After discussing it, the four of them decided that the black crystal would be accepted by the Demon General Qiyan, and then they continued to fly upwards.

As the group moved forward, the surrounding death energy became increasingly pure, turning pure black, and their divine senses were gradually compressed to ten feet.

The deathly aura within a radius of a thousand feet surged endlessly from all directions, causing a dramatic increase in the consumption of true essence and demonic power.

If one were to look up from the ground at this moment, one could see a certain spot in the sky where the deathly aura was fluctuating exceptionally violently.

While ordinary green mantises might not be able to distinguish them, the king green mantis would definitely be able to detect the anomaly.

One by one, the slumbering bone beasts were awakened by the group, but they gradually discovered that unless they entered within a hundred feet of these bone beasts, even the most intense death energy would not disturb them.

Bone beasts are not very intelligent; they only have the instinct to absorb death energy. The more turbulent the death energy, the easier it is to absorb, and the less likely it is to wake them up.

After the group killed the five bone beasts one after another, Chen Yuan continued to use secret techniques, and his energy became increasingly weak.

The demon general asked with concern, "Fellow Daoist Beiming, can you still hold on?"

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "It's alright, I can handle it. Although this secret technique comes at a high price, I have another way to suppress it."

"It will only erupt after we return to the Demon Burning Realm, and it won't be too late to heal and recuperate then."

"However, if we encounter bone beasts again, we cannot fight them head-on."

"Otherwise, even if I were to cross this sea of ​​deathly energy, I would no longer be able to use this secret technique."

The crowd's eyes flickered, their thoughts unclear, but they all agreed on the surface.

Then they encountered two more bone beasts, whose strength was similar to that of the Bone Giant Falcon. It seemed that this was the upper limit of the bone beasts' strength. No matter how pure the death energy was, it could not give birth to a bone beast that was truly comparable to a demon king.

The group carefully dodged and flew upwards for several thousand feet. The surrounding death aura was extremely dense, and their divine senses were compressed to seven feet.

The group's escape speed had become extremely slow, and they dared not be careless in the slightest.

The silver light in Chen Yuan's eyes grew even brighter, radiating an ethereal and majestic aura that made everyone hesitant to look directly at him.

The Demon General Guixiao already had four fierce ghosts in his hands, which turned into nothingness under the erosion of death energy. He then released a fifth fierce ghost to scout ahead.

The group flew forward for several hundred feet, but the surroundings were still pitch black. Suddenly, the divine stone in the old green mantis's hand flashed with light.

It spoke, "Fellow Daoists, be careful! The demonic energy ahead is extremely dense. We are about to cross this sea of ​​deathly energy and see the true blood sun!"

Everyone's expressions brightened, and they increased their speed slightly. After flying a hundred feet, a black curtain appeared above them, which was also pitch black, but completely different from the deathly aura.

It was a black curtain formed by the condensation of incomparably pure demonic energy. Everyone only glanced at it, and suddenly many desires surged in their hearts. Fortunately, they were not as intense as those in the original space of the interface, and were quickly suppressed.

The journey has taken three days and three nights. Fortunately, everyone here is a demon general with a strong physique and is best at prolonged battles. Their demon power has only been depleted by a small fraction.

Every so often, the surroundings would brighten, filled with a dark red light. Everyone knew that this was the "rise" of the Blood Sun, which was once again casting its light.

However, this light could not allow the people to see any further. Their divine senses were still compressed, and as far as their eyes could see, there was still endless death energy.

As the day passes, the blood sun will "set" again, its light will fade, and darkness will return to the surroundings.

The group did not linger for long before entering the dark curtain of demonic energy. Their divine senses were further compressed, reduced to only six zhang.

The fifth vengeful ghost released by the Demon General Guixiao was not corrupted by the demonic energy, but the demonic energy would block the connection between him and the vengeful ghost. It could only be released ten feet away at most, which was better than nothing, so he simply took it back.

The silver light in Chen Yuan's eyes grew brighter, and the aura he exuded became more and more majestic. When the four demon generals looked at him, they all felt a strange sense of unease.

This feeling seemed somewhat familiar, yet there was no reason for it. The four demon generals were filled with doubt and unease, but dared not inquire about the secrets of Chen Yuan's pupil technique, so they could only suppress it forcibly.

After flying over a hundred feet through the dark curtain of demonic energy, Chen Yuan suddenly stopped, his pupils contracted, and a look of shock flashed in his eyes.

Everyone immediately stopped and looked at Chen Yuan. Qi Yan, the Demon General, asked with a solemn expression, "Fellow Daoist Bei Ming, have you made any discoveries?"

Chen Yuan took a deep breath: "Fellow Daoists, you will know shortly."

After saying that, he continued to fly upwards, and a look of doubt flashed in everyone's eyes as they followed closely behind.

After flying another hundred feet, a faint dark red light suddenly appeared ahead, dispelling the darkness.

The group's spirits lifted, and they increased their speed. The dark red light became clearer, and a layer of dark red light curtain could be vaguely seen, stretching endlessly and isolating the dark curtain of demonic energy from the outside.

Fifteen minutes later, they finally arrived at the bottom of the light screen and saw the scene above it. They all opened their eyes wide and stared blankly.

Behind the light curtain was an enormous space filled with endless pure demonic energy, guarding a colossal ship as large as a mountain.

This colossal ship stretched across the sky, its beginning and end nowhere to be seen. The portion that could be seen by the public was over thirty miles long, while the rest was shrouded in endless demonic energy.

The giant ship was blood red and emitted a dazzling light. It was made of some kind of spiritual material. When it was overturned, several huge masts, like swords and spears, pointed diagonally at the sky.

On the side of the giant ship facing the crowd, there was a dark hole every hundred feet.

A giant cannon protruded from within, its muzzle measuring over ten feet in size, and it was unknown what kind of spiritual material it was made of.

The cannon was engraved with intricate runes, most of which were damaged, as if they had been forcibly destroyed by external forces.

The deck of the giant ship was a thousand feet wide. The palaces had collapsed, and countless corpses were piled up together, creating a scene of utter devastation.

Several enormous blue spears, each about ten feet long, were deeply embedded in the deck, gleaming with a sharp luster.

Thousands upon thousands of grotesque corpses drifted around the giant ship. Some had four arms, some resembled monsters, and others were no different from humans. All of them were mutilated and incomplete.

But there were still dozens of relatively intact corpses, their eyes open, their pupils pitch black, slowly flying away, as if they were on patrol.

After a long pause, the Demon General Yanhuang spoke with difficulty: "Could this be the legendary... World-Destroying Warship!" (End of Chapter)
