Chapter 933 Working Together to Suppress the Demon
At this time, Chen Mu and his group had ventured deeper into the Feather Profound Realm.

Looking out into the distance, one sees steep, majestic mountains stretching endlessly, meeting the clouds, with dense, ancient green trees dotting the landscape, growing amidst the blue sea—truly a beautiful sight.

Yet, amidst this surging pure energy, there was an indescribable, demonic aura.

Yu Chengkong raised an eyebrow and asked without thinking, "Senior Lan, how far is this place from the Cold Crystal Abyss?"

"There is still a million miles to go."

Upon hearing this, the group clicked their tongues in amazement. The demonic aura had already permeated this place, indicating that the sixth-tier Five Elements Nightmare was not only powerful but also quite arrogant, believing that no one in this world could subdue it...

"Once we reach the Frost Crystal Abyss, I can transform into a seal to restrain that demon, preventing it from unleashing its sixth-tier power..."

The group continued their escape without stopping. Lan Yan thought for a moment and then instructed them in advance, "However, if things continue like this, I will definitely not have time to make a move again, so you will be the ones who can truly contend with him."

"Furthermore, the Xu Chen Tie transcends the Five Elements, so the Five Elements Daoist techniques are mostly ineffective against it. When you confront it later, you will need to draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to suppress it. Of course, other methods would be even better..."

"Once its life force is depleted, this young friend can then unleash his divine artifact, which should be enough to slay the demon in one fell swoop. At the very least, it should be enough to make it wary and flee for the time being..."

The group nodded slowly, but Shi Yangzongtian frowned: "Holy Envoy, if we cannot kill it, what if it returns after you leave?"

The people in front of them can leave, but their tribe cannot escape.

If the demons were to return, not only would they be doomed, but the Blue Duck's millennia-long reproduction would also be doomed...

Seeing his furrowed brows and Lan Yan's slight smile, how could she not have imagined this situation?
"Don't worry, once that sixth-order Void Star Glutton is frightened and leaves, it will not easily return in a short time."

"By the time it has fully recovered and its evil intentions resurface, I will have already returned to my original form. At that time, I will send someone to eliminate this hidden danger..."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yangzongtian breathed a sigh of relief, his expression softened, and he began to feel a sense of anticipation.

For thousands of years, their tribe has coexisted with such monsters in the same realm, always living in fear and taking precautions. Now, the time for change has finally come.

Perhaps sharing a similar sentiment, both Yu Chengkong and Hong Wuyai's eyes flickered as they fell into deep thought...

After a long while, Chen Mu looked into the distance and vaguely saw a void ahead, with the undulating mountains abruptly stopping, as if falling into an endless abyss.

"arrive."

Lan Yan spoke softly and was the first to descend.

The group arrived shortly afterward and saw a deep ravine, tens of thousands of feet wide, running north to south, with thick demonic fog above it, which even divine sense could not penetrate.

Yu Cheng leaned forward and looked down, only to find everything in complete darkness. Just as he was about to shake his head and sigh, Lan Yan had already flown down into the abyss.

"Everyone, please be careful."

Chen Mu, with a solemn expression, also leaped out.

The ravine was tens of thousands of feet wide and countless in depth. As the group ventured deeper, the light of day gradually faded and the demonic aura grew stronger. Even with their cultivation levels, they had to raise their magical power to protect themselves from being corrupted.

A moment later, I suddenly felt a bright light appear before my eyes; in the endless darkness, a hazy blue light appeared.

Upon closer inspection, one could see strangely shaped ice crystals embedded in the rock wall, accompanied by a chilling aura.

Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a slight increase in his own magical power, which surprised him: "The water element here has such a strong Daoist aura..."

Before long, more and more ice crystals appeared, and the group finally reached the bottom of the abyss. Looking ahead, the outline of a palace made of ice crystals was faintly visible, and if you listened carefully, you could hear snoring.

“Xu Chentie is among them.”

Lan Yan's expression turned serious as he turned around and said, "You all need to be prepared. After I seal his cultivation, he will definitely go berserk and use all your spiritual energy to break through the seal. If you cannot defeat him head-on, you can try to outmaneuver him and fight a protracted battle."

As long as the demon's essence can be depleted, the outcome of any battle is the same.

After Chen Mu and the others nodded, Lan Yan did not linger and transformed into a stream of light, quietly flying towards the Ice Crystal Palace.

"Gentlemen, now is not the time to keep secrets."

Yu Cheng moved around in mid-air for a while, then took out a jade magic seal with his backhand. It was engraved with Pixiu cloud patterns. As soon as it appeared, the surrounding spiritual energy gathered wildly and formed a vortex in the blink of an eye.

Chen Mu and Hong Wuyai both raised their eyebrows, realizing that this item was extraordinary, at least an excellent Dao artifact.

"Brother Yu's work is truly outstanding; I, Hong, have made a fool of myself..."

He said this on the surface, but his actions showed no intention of making a fool of himself. With a wave of his hand, an array diagram immediately appeared in the air in front of him, covered with thunder and fire characters. To the naked eye, it felt as if one were trapped in a pool of thunder and a sea of ​​fire.

"Golden Thunder and Extreme Fire Diagram!"

Yu Chengkong shook his head and smiled: "I never imagined that this treasure would have been obtained by Brother Hong."

Hong Wuyai smiled but remained silent, instead looking at Chen Mu.

He knew that Chen Mu also possessed an exceptional spiritual treasure...

Chen Mu remained unmoved, and a stream of primordial yellow energy surged from his sleeve, transforming into a yin-yang banner that fluttered in the wind.

Yu Hong and the other man nodded slowly. Using these three items as the main means, they should be able to deplete a lot of the demon's essence.

The two of them subconsciously ignored Shi Yangzongtian, and Shi Yangzongtian, conversely, did not retaliate. He was already quite astonished, feeling that Chen Mu and the other two were all incredibly capable...

Regardless of their preparations, after Lan Yan flew into the palace, he followed the sound of snoring and soon arrived at an undefended sleeping quarters.

On the several-foot-long, cold jade bed, a round-faced boy dressed in a soft white inner shirt lay sprawled out, fast asleep, snoring loudly. Every time he snored, the bed curtains would shake.

Whether it was genuinely powerful or simply had a strong sense of self-assurance, it remained unconscious until someone touched it into the bed curtains.

However, this was a good thing for Lan Yan, as it saved her a lot of trouble.

With his handsome face and delicate hands forming a hand seal, he softly parted his lips to chant an incantation.

A moment later, she lightly touched the ground with her toes and leaped out. Before she even got close to the demon, she had already transformed into a blue duck about a foot in size, with billowing blue mist swirling around her.

The next moment, the blue duck rushed into the demon's brow and disappeared instantly, replaced by a blue halo that wrapped around the demon's head.

"call!"

The round-faced boy suddenly opened his eyes, and his pupils were completely white, which looked quite eerie.

However, no one was looking at his pupils at this moment. But the blue halo tightened slightly, and the round-faced boy immediately rolled around on the bed in pain, screaming incessantly. He even rolled to the ground with a "thump" and repeatedly urged his demonic energy to rush to the top of his head.

But the halo seemed to be permanently attached to him, and no matter how he tried, he couldn't budge it in the slightest.

The round-faced boy was both shocked and furious. He naturally knew whose trick this was and jumped up and cursed, "You shameless woman! I've never crossed paths with you. I just eat some blue-feathered birds when I'm hungry. Is that enough for you to scheme against me?!"

A faint, mocking laugh could be heard from within the radiant light: "A little? You really have the nerve to say that..."

The round-faced boy said without blushing, "So what if I have a big appetite? I'm just a member of your clan with shallow blood, why are you fighting so hard?" He had always known that Lan Yan was just a wisp of a soul here, so he never dared to push him too far, lest he provoke the real Lan Yan to settle scores later.

Unexpectedly, after ten thousand years, instead of seeing the true form of the blue-faced man, they encountered this wisp of divine soul taking such a perilous journey.

After all, if it fails, it is very likely to suffer losses, and even if it returns to its original form in the future, it will be difficult to make up for them...

Lan Yan stopped replying and focused on maintaining the sealing spell. The demon's aura gradually decreased, eventually falling to the fifth rank, and most of the demonic energy dissipated.

The round-faced boy, unwilling to tolerate it, swept his demonic senses over the area and couldn't help but sneer: "So that's why you suddenly started this attack, it turns out you've brought reinforcements."

He leaped out: "Fine, today I'll put an end to your hopes and send you on your way!"

Upon exiting the palace, he looked up and saw a Taotie seal floating in the air, attracting a sky full of spiritual light. Clearly, the people opposite him had already set up their formation, just waiting for him to charge in.

If there were several cultivators of the same level present, he might have turned and fled, but they were merely a few fifth-level cultivators...

"Unbelievable!"

He scoffed, realizing he no longer needed to maintain his human form, and with a shift of his demonic power, immediately revealed his true form.

In an instant, the sky darkened and the earth went dark. A thousand-foot-tall demonic beast lurked among the evil clouds, and its overwhelming demonic aura soared straight into the heavens. Three thousand six hundred crystal scales flashed with cold light, and its enormous demonic body stirred up a raging, bloody wind, crashing headlong into that brilliant spiritual light with immense force.

"Boom!"

Amidst a deafening roar, the demonic body ruthlessly tore through the spiritual pressure barrier set up by Yu Chengkong, closing in in an instant.

Upon arriving there, before they could even discern the direction, they suddenly saw a torrential downpour of silver rain pouring down from the sky.

He stared intently, and realized that this was no ordinary rain; it was clearly a net woven from thousands of cold blades, their sharp points falling like stars, and a chilling aura permeating his very soul.

He glanced at him and found that the caster was an old man in his eighties, whose eyes were filled with even more mockery. He did not dodge or avoid the attack. His muscles were bulging like a dragon, and the sound of his bones exploding with thunder suddenly arose. As his scales vibrated, waves of air burst forth, which shattered all the flying blades in the sky into dust and returned to the evil clouds.

When the silver rain dissipated, the three thousand six hundred crystal scales were as clean as new, without even a faint trace left.

"Hahaha...Are you all here to tickle my itch?!"

His sinister laughter shook the heavens, and his roar crushed the flowing clouds.

Shi Yangzongtian's face was covered in frost, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and annoyed.

Seeing this, Yu Chengkong said a comforting word, and then repeatedly urged the Taotie magic seal. A phantom of Taotie leaped out, opened its blood-red maw to the sky, and a torrent of spiritual energy gathered like a tide, and a thick spiritual mist was instantly generated.

With its vision obstructed, Wu Xingyan instinctively opened its mouth and exhaled a gust of wind, but the spiritual mist was so heavy that it could not be shaken in the slightest.

Fortunately, he didn't need to use his eyes to see; with a little supernatural power, he locked onto the four people's auras and immediately twisted his mountain-like body, carrying the dark clouds of Xuan Sha as he charged forward again.

Shi Yangzongtian transformed his shame and anger into motivation. His beard flew wildly, and he waved his sleeves repeatedly. Instantly, swords, fire, water, and tides surged forth, attacking from above and below, seemingly endless.

However, Wu Xingyan ignored the attack as it landed on him, simply crushing it with his demonic body. Along the way, no matter what methods Shi Yangzongtian used, they were all smashed to pieces.

At this moment, above the spiritual realm, Chen Mu and the others could see that Shi Yangzongtian had done his best, but could not stop the demon below in the slightest.

Firstly, it's because of the difference in their cultivation levels. Even with the Blue Beauty's seal, the Five Elements Nightmare is still at the late stage of the fifth rank.

Secondly, Shi Yangzongtian's Dao techniques are crude, not only failing to match his cultivation level, but even inferior to some Nascent Soul juniors in the Floating Cloud Realm.

However, this cannot be blamed on him. As a mere servant chosen by the Feather Clan's Holy Maiden to serve the Blue Duck Divine Bird, what profound knowledge could he possibly acquire...

Chen Mu raised his hand, and a beam of dark light pierced through the air and fell.

The Five Elements Nightmare appeared nonchalant, but in reality, it was extremely vigilant. Suddenly, a thousand layers of black evil energy rose up around it, surging and condensing into a thick barrier.

The moment the Xuan light touched the evil energy, it was like snow melting into boiling water, instantly eroding it completely, but the black evil energy did not dissipate.

Chen Mu's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice, "It seems that Senior Lan's words were true. This beast is immune to the five elements. If we don't have corresponding methods, we can only slowly wear it down with our abundant spiritual energy..."

Both Yu and Hong nodded.

They had never fought this monster before, and what they had witnessed was unclear. Now that they were certain, they could focus on using the treasure in their hands.

At this moment, a thunderous roar erupted below, the sound waves shaking heaven and earth, and the spiritual energy surged like a raging tide, with spiderweb-like cracks appearing on the dome's light screen.

Yu Chengkong chuckled and raised his hand to summon the Taotie Seal. With a violent shake, a roar immediately came, and a beam of spiritual light shot out, transforming into a thousand-foot-long Taotie.

"go with!"

At his command, the Taotie pounced down in an instant.

The Five Elements Nightmare's crimson demonic eyes suddenly gleamed with a chilling light, and a piercing shriek burst from its throat. Its scales suddenly glowed with a scarlet blood light, and it charged head-on without dodging or avoiding.

The moment the two colossal beasts crossed paths, the thousand-foot-tall demonic body suddenly exerted its power, and the illusory image of the Taotie crumbled inch by inch like glass, turning into countless fireflies.

Before the shattered pure energy could dissipate, a deafening roar came from the depths of the Dharma seal once more, and the newly formed ferocious beast shattered the spiritual mist and took shape.

Even more terrifyingly, the previously scattered pure energy, like rivers flowing into the sea, re-condensed in the void to form a second Taotie Dharma Image.

Wu Xingyan could sense that he was only about ten miles away from Chen Mu and the others, yet they were worlds apart and he couldn't get close.

It immediately seemed to be enraged, its roar shaking the heavens and the earth, the black wind and evil energy booming incessantly, and the spiritual tide, which was already turbulent, was now even more precarious.

Chen Mu watched for a while, and seeing that the Five Elements Nightmare was about to break through the spiritual tide, he had an idea and looked at Yu Chengkong. The latter nodded and said, "Let's go!"

A sudden surge of spiritual energy rose beneath their feet, and their figures vanished like ink wash painting. When they reappeared, they were already on a giant rock a hundred miles away.

They had just agreed on a countermeasure, relying on Yu Chengkong's magic seal to carry out guerrilla warfare, moving to another place as soon as one place was destroyed. In any case, with the magic seal in hand, the spiritual tide could be gathered with a wave of the hand.

For that demon, chasing it would definitely consume more of its energy.

Yu Chengkong laughed and said, "How could someone who has cultivated to such a level be a mindless demon? He is clearly a cunning fellow pretending to be reckless in an attempt to lure us into using our full strength. We must not let him have his way."

Seeing that the demon's cultivation had indeed been greatly restricted, Hong Wuyai breathed a sigh of relief: "It's alright. We have the upper hand and are not afraid of a long battle. Let me launch an attack and see how long he can keep up this act."

After speaking, he gestured with his fingers, and the Golden Thunder and Extreme Fire Diagram appeared instantly. Wherever the diagram passed, the cold air melted away, and a towering mist rose up, like a blue dragon coiling around a pillar and piercing the sky.

As soon as the formation was finalized, the clouds on the dome surged like boiling water, lightning crackled where the yin and yang energies intertwined, and hundreds of purple lightning bolts rushed in from all directions.

Crimson flames shot into the sky from the ground, with sharp, metallic blades flashing within them. In an instant, heavenly thunder ignited the earth's fire, unleashing a devastating force capable of shattering mountains and splitting seas as it annihilated the demon.

Chen Mu observed carefully and realized that this trip was much simpler than he had imagined...
