I'm only one year old, what the hell is the counterattack system?

Chapter 386 Qianyou Xuanming (Subscribe)

Although it was daytime, there was a faint layer of gray fog covering the area where the Demon Court was located.

The mist had no smell and did not look threatening at all.

However, Chen Yi was keenly aware of this thin layer of mist, which, like the divine will of his murderous swordsmanship, enveloped the core area of ​​the Demon Court, as if preventing unidentified creatures from walking here.

He carefully restrained the divine will in his body and only used his mind to activate the power of the [Mask of Delusion Breaking]. The big red flower on his head fell apart, and the branches covered his face that grew on the tree trunk. His lifeless eyes slowly turned left and right as he walked.

[At the age of 20, you have reached the perfection of the Heavenly Man Realm. You use the "Mask of Delusion Breaking" to see through the mysterious power of the Great Demon King of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Reward: Counterattack Points +. ]

[Note: Qianyou Xuanming magical power is one of the methods passed down by the ancient demon court. It takes water from the Netherworld River and condenses the Netherworld True Water at the place where the extreme yin converges. It causes the Qianyang Qi to collide with the Netherworld Yin Qi, and only then can the practice be successful.

This magical power can extract the vitality and divine will of all living beings and use them for its own benefit. 】

After taking a quick glance, Chen Yi frowned secretly.

Can you draw upon the divine will of the creatures around you and use it for your own benefit?
This magical power and divine intention have the same effect as the true meaning of his killing sword, the White Tiger.

However, his sword-killing method requires killing living beings and absorbing the remaining divine will in their corpses for his own use.

Qianyou Xuanming's magical power seems to be more convenient. Covering the core area of ​​this demon court, it should be able to devour the bloodline magical powers and divine will leaked from all the great demon kings in the surrounding area.

Chen Yi looked at the gray fog thoughtfully, then turned his gaze and looked ten miles away.

There was a mountain pillar that was a hundred feet high, with a hundred-meter-long demon snake coiled on the top, with its triangular head drooping on the top, staring at the surroundings with its cold vertical pupils.

[You used the "Mask of Delusion Breaking" to see through the incarnation of the divine will of the fifth-level demon king. Reward: Counterattack Points +3.]

The point is not the incarnation of the divine will of the snake demon.

But in Chen Yi's eyes, there was a layer of Qianyou Xuanming magical power and divine will slowly wrapped around the incarnation, which was devouring the incarnation's divine will at an extremely slow speed.

If he had not activated the [Mask of Breaking Delusion] at this moment, it would have been difficult for him to detect the power of Qianyou Xuanming's magical powers and divine will with his naked eyes and mind.

Just like a blunt knife, it scraped off layer after layer of the spirit of the snake demon incarnation.

It may seem inconspicuous and its effect may seem slow, but it is just a demon king.

What if the number reaches hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands?
Allowing Qian You to absorb Xuan Ming's magical powers all the time, the improvement every hour and every day is very terrifying.

Especially for creatures with long lifespans like demons, with the blessing of Qianyou Xuanming's magical power, sooner or later there will be a qualitative change from quantitative change.

"The great demon king of the Celestial Realm... could it be the Barbarian Emperor?"

Chen Yi guessed so.

Although there is no factual basis for this, he could not think of any other demon other than the Demon King, the Barbarian Emperor, who possessed the ancient secret techniques of the Demon Court and could act so secretly.

If it were a great demon king like Di Tian or Lu Chen, they should be able to detect it quickly with their status and heritage as the Barbarian King. How could they allow other demon kings to devour its divine will?
Seeing this, Chen Yi felt very fortunate.

Fortunately, Hu Baiyi and Panmu were well prepared this time, otherwise if he broke in on his own, he would probably be discovered by this divine will at the first moment.

By then, even if he had the two magical powers given by Taoist Zhao Muzi, he would still have to fight for his life to escape.

Chen Yi gathered his thoughts and continued walking deeper.

The territory of the Demon Court is much larger than that of the human race.

Starting from the dense forest outside the human race’s fortified city and the acropolis, the swamp area afterwards belongs to the outskirts of the Demon Court, and the various frontier demon villages are located behind the swamp area.

Then, going deeper into the demon court from each demon stronghold, there is a forest and grassland area. There are no high mountains here, the terrain is not very undulating, and the view is very broad.

Therefore, most of the demons in the Demon Court who are not very powerful live here.

Similar to the tribal territories of various demon tribes in the Ten Thousand Mountains, millions of little demons are scattered on this grassland.

Chen Yi did not reveal any of his divine intention. With just a glance, it was not difficult to see the big and small monsters in the clan’s territory.

Most of them are small demons below the second level, while demon kings above the second level mostly wear armor. From the armor of mixed colors, it can be identified that it should be the armor of human soldiers.

What made Chen Yi feel a little chilly was that he saw a few humans in the place where those demon tribes gathered.

Most of those people were dressed in rags, with dull eyes, and were driven by demons to carry food, bricks, stones, firewood, etc.

Some people who were better off were responsible for building houses or forging weapons.

There are not many better ones.

But Chen Yi occasionally saw one or two neatly dressed humans being treated with courtesy by the demons.

Judging from their position, these humans who are living well should be good at refining elixirs.

"As expected of a human."

Chen Yi didn't look at them for long. He sighed slightly and stopped paying attention to those people.

Although it is unclear how long these people have been captured by the Demon Court, it is obvious that bringing them back to the human race’s fortress or citadel may not be a good option.

It doesn't matter whether it's good or evil, but what people say is scary.

Especially those who helped the Demon Court forge weapons, magic weapons and elixirs.

Even if they were forced, they would still be subject to some criticism after returning to the human race.

Rather than bringing them back to waste their days in that kind of environment, it is better to let them live out the rest of their lives here.

If the human race can defeat the Demon Court and open up a passage to the Taizhou Mountain Realm in the future, these people will not need any advice from others and would rather go to the Taizhou Mountain Realm for training and adventure, and will probably not return to the human race.

"While the great kings are in seclusion to practice, my people can have a few days of rest."

"It has been hundreds of years since I remember it being this peaceful. Whenever there was a tense battle, countless bodies of our soldiers were brought back, as well as human captives."

"It should be the same this time. Once those great kings finish their retreat, we may be able to capture the human city in one fell swoop and slaughter them all."

"In this way, our men will no longer have to make fearless sacrifices. We can still cross the Netherworld River and go to Mount Taizhou to take a look in our lifetime."

"Yes, we have been in this battlefield for nearly a thousand years. Every day, we can only look at the majestic Taizhou Mountain from afar, but we have never explored it. If we are lucky enough to dig up the cave cemetery of the ancient great demon, we can also have magical powers like the kings."

"Thinking so far ahead? Instead of fantasizing about exploring Mount Taizhou, it is better to think about how to break through the human city. This time, His Majesty the Barbarian King has widely distributed the inheritance. I think there will be a big battle in the future. You should all be prepared."

"That's right..."

Listening to the conversation between those demons, Chen Yi sneered inwardly.

These demons are no longer stupid after they have gained intelligence. The clues that humans can see can naturally be seen by these demons that are closer to the Barbarian King.

The only difference between demons and humans is that their cultivation increases much slower than that of humans. Even if they have the inheritance of the ancient demon court, it is not easy to improve their cultivation due to the strangeness of their bloodlines.

And this is what Hu Bayi said before - this time, the Barbarian King not only took out the inheritance method of the ancient demon court, but also consumed a large amount of demon blood cores in the hope of improving those great demon kings.

If they really succeed in their training, the chances of the human race winning this time will be reduced by another 10%. "Now that we have completed the preparations we can make, we can only respond as they come."

"If it's impossible, maybe we have to ask Zhao Muzi to help... No, it would be better for Taoist Zhao Tianhe to do it."

"Even if it costs a huge price, it's worth it!"

While thinking about his follow-up plans, Chen Yi continued to move forward and silently memorized the terrain here in his mind.

Although he already had the sketch drawn by Panmu in his hand, he still needed to investigate the specific details himself, just like the demon tribe's territory he had just seen.

What kind of monsters are they, how many there are, etc.

If the Fengyue Demon Emperor and the human race defeat the Barbarian Demon Emperor's Court, then this information can be used when building that passage later.

Soon a few hours passed, and Chen Yi walked slowly across the grassland. In the distance, he saw a vast area with mountains and rocks.

From the outside, it looked like the Demon Palace where demons were imprisoned that he had seen in the secret land of Southern Barbarians.

Many of the towering stone pillars that rise into the clouds are undulating and seemingly scattered, but a closer look reveals that they seem to be arranged in a certain pattern.

Moreover, on those stone pillars, one could see blood cores of demons embedded in the cracks of the stones at regular intervals, some of which were blood cores of great demon kings.

Chen Yi's mind moved slightly, and the fluorescence in his eyes flickered slightly, and he saw——

[You used the "Mask of Delusion Breaking" to see through the Four Extremes Heaven-Defying and Earth-Defying Demonic Array, Array Level: Celestial Level, Counterattack Points +10.]

[Note: The "Four Extremes Heaven-Destroying and Earth-Destroying Demonic Array" is a large array created by the ancient demon court. It condenses the four extremes of the southeast, northwest, and northeast, and integrates the power of a group of demons to cover the sky and the earth. ]

The Four Extremes Heaven-Defying and Earth-Defying Demonic Array?

Chen Yi was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered that the shadow demon had trapped him in this formation.

He did not have a deep impression of other things, but at that time in that formation, a suppressed general instantly fell into an illusion, forcing him to fight with the shadow demon of the sixth level of magical powers.

As Chen Yi was thinking about it, he discovered the difference between the Four Extremes Heaven-Defying and Earth-Defying Demonic Array within the Demon Emperor's Palace and the one outside Baidi City.

"If I remember correctly, the formation at that time was only at the human immortal level, which is the heavenly realm, but the one here is at the heavenly immortal level, which is a bit higher in grade."

“I don’t know what the difference is.”

However, the arrow has been drawn to the string and has to be shot.

While thinking about it, Chen Yi walked straight towards the area with strange rocks.

"What's the matter?"

At this time, a sinister voice came from the outer stone pillars.

Chen Yi looked up and saw a huge snake demon. He immediately took out the token and spoke slowly:
"The Fox King has summoned me. I want to go to his mountain gate and cave."

This is what Iwamu told him to say.

The snake demon paused when he heard that, and stared at the token in his hand with its meter-long vertical pupils, sticking out its tongue as if to check the smell.

"It is indeed the aura of Lord Fox King. Let's go in."

"You know the rules, right? You are not allowed to wander around the Demon King Palace. Anyone who violates the rules will be killed."

Chen Yi grinned, and then passed through the side of the stone pillar under it. A golden light flashed before his eyes:
[At the age of 30, you have already reached the Perfect Heavenly Man Realm. You were suppressed by the Four Extremes Absolute Heaven and Earth Demonic Array (Heavenly Immortal Realm). Your mind was affected, but it has been eliminated. Reward: Counterattack Points +. ]

[Because your counterattack mission has not been completed, the counterattack points you received will be converted into cultivation. ]

Chen Yi was in a trance for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses.

He let out a long sigh. If he didn't have this method, he would be unable to move at all at this moment.

Thinking about it, Chen Yi glanced around and saw that the light around him was dim, and there seemed to be demons hiding in the shadows.

Taking a closer look, he discovered that those hiding in the shadows were actually huge shadow demons.

They were crawling on the ground as if they were eating their shadows. A shiny black thread extended from their mouths and pierced into the ground, and their aura slowly grew.

"It's really amazing."

Just like the wood monsters before, these shadow monsters, fire spirits and other monsters are all born and raised by nature. They do not devour and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but require some extremely special powers.

This is similar to the "Qianyou Xuanming" magical power possessed by the Barbarian King we just saw.

However, the magical power of “Qianyou Xuanming” is not a bloodline magical power, but requires the water of the Netherworld River to condense and practice.

Chen Yi took a quick look around and then headed straight inside along the route.

Once you arrive at the Demon King's Palace, it is not as convenient as it is on the grassland outside. There is a checkpoint almost every hundred miles.

Most of the demons guarding the checkpoints are snake demons, shadow demons, and their cultivation levels are estimated to be above the third level of magical powers, and the deeper you go into the demons, the higher their cultivation levels will be.

Whenever he encountered a checkpoint, Chen Yi would stop and accept the interrogation of these demons, as if they had no information with each other.

It took him about three hours to finally reach the deepest part, which was under the stone pillar where the Demon King's Palace was located.

Chen Yi looked up at the palace that spanned several stone pillars. It seemed inconspicuous at first glance, but a closer look revealed its peculiarity - the bottom of the palace was made of pieces of great demon king-level blood cores!

"How many great demon kings does this require?"

A rough estimate is no less than 100,000.

Chen Yi took a look and realized that these were not killed by humans, but the wealth accumulated by the Demon Court over tens of millions of years.

If the Barbarian King was a little more ruthless and swallowed all these blood cores, it is estimated that his cultivation level could be greatly improved.

"Tsk, I'm afraid this won't be worth it."

The higher the cultivation level of cultivators and demons, the smaller the gap becomes. Unless it is a leap between the realm of heaven and man and the realm of heavenly immortals, the fighting between people of the same level mostly relies on the realm of magical powers, or powerful magic weapons, spiritual treasures and other external objects.

Even if the Barbarian King devoured all of these blood cores, it is unlikely that he would be able to break through to the Celestial Immortal realm.

The same goes for other great demon kings.

After reading it, Chen Yi walked straight towards the cave where Hu Bayi was. He jumped thousands of feet up before arriving at a palace that looked much smaller than the previous one.

He looked around and was about to go deeper, signaling to the foxes guarding the door to notify Hu Baiyi, but suddenly he saw the situation inside the palace and his eyes froze.

Inside the spacious hall, there were tens of thousands of human beings lying side by side, their eyes closed and their breathing steady, as if they were asleep.

"I didn't expect that the human soldiers captured by the Demon Court were all here with Hu Baiyi. It's really... it's so easy to get them!"
