Chapter 748 The Eye of the Returning Void has become a deadly black hole that backfires on the Demon Army!

The boundless sea reaches its deepest abyss, the entrance to the Ruins of Return.

This place is no ordinary sea area; it is as if a huge wound has been forcibly torn open between heaven and earth.

The violent and distorted spacetime turbulence, like billions of invisible whips, lashed at everything that came near.

It tore the seawater, light, and even the laws of nature to shreds, surging into that bottomless, dark vortex that exudes an aura of the return of all things to stillness!
The edge of the vortex.

A colossal altar made of stacked white bones is emitting a thunderous roar that chills the soul.

Bloodshed!
The viscous, viscous, and filthy purplish-black power of millions of vengeful spirits was like a river of blood bursting its banks, being frantically drawn out and transformed by the three malevolent magical treasures on the altar!
A filthy demonic cauldron boiling with pus and blood.

A long spear of bones piercing countless phantoms.

A demon banner with a constantly twisting and howling face.

They resonated, unleashing malevolent beams of light that pierced the void, locking onto a point deep within the vortex.

The intention is to completely detonate the core of the Ruins by unleashing this torrent of foul energy, which is enough to corrode the very foundation of the world, and to blast through the ancient barrier of the sea eye!
"Om-!"

The light of the Three Evil Treasures suddenly intensified!

The Blood Demon Cauldron was covered in cracks, as if it were about to explode and spew out its last bit of foul power.

The phantom on the skeletal spear shrieked and materialized, lunging at the beam of light.

The twisted demon banner transformed into a wailing ghost face that covered the sky!
The blood sacrifice has reached its final stage!
"boom--!!!"

At this crucial juncture, which could determine the fate of the Boundless Sea and even shake the entire landscape of the Nine Provinces, twelve meteors that tore through the void suddenly crashed through the raging spatial-temporal turbulence and descended fiercely!

Cross the sea boat!
On the vast flying boat, Pei Lie was the leader, his figure like a divine sword drawn from its sheath, his sword energy surging around him, forcibly cutting apart the chaotic spacetime that approached.

Behind him, Yin Jiuyou, like a dark shadow, silently merged into the chaos, with only his cold eyes fixed on the core altar.

Then, the entire "Nine Yang Sword Prison" battle formation, consisting of 100,000 elite disciples of the Nine Yang Sword Sect, erupted with an incomparably blazing and magnificent sword intent.

The sword intent was like a giant sword ten thousand feet long, forcefully piercing into this deathly abyss!
"boom--"

As soon as the Sword Prison Formation was deployed, countless golden sword lights intertwined and crisscrossed in layers.

In an instant, a three-dimensional sword domain cage was constructed, covering the entire altar area!

The sword energy was stern and sharp, carrying the awe-inspiring righteousness of pure Yang suppressing demons, and forcefully carved out a relatively "orderly" battlefield between the chaotic entrance to the Ruins of Return and the filthy torrent of blood sacrifice!

"Lock!"

Yin Jiuyou let out a sharp cry. He stopped trying to attack and instead plunged his ten fingers into the void in front of him!
In an instant, billions of dark chains, shimmering with the profound and mysterious characters "ban," "lock," "anchor," and "fix," erupted from his sleeves and from the void!
These chains ignored the raging spatial turbulence and the wailing of vengeful spirits, like the most resilient deep-sea cables, nailing themselves precisely to the altar itself.

Nailing it toward the energy connection node between the altar and the Three Evil Treasures, and nailing it toward the bone platform foundation beneath the altar that is trying to plunge into the Void of Return!

"Crash-!"

The chains snapped instantly!

A terrifying, ear-piercing screeching sound exploded, and the space was forcibly anchored by these chains, causing it to vibrate violently!
The evil treasure beam channel, about to unleash its final power, seemed to be choked by countless invisible giant hands, emitting a twisted groan that made one's teeth ache!
The resentment of a million living souls was forcibly bound within the altar area, unleashing an even more hysterical counterattack!
"Roar--!"

Countless hideous demonic shadows formed from filthy blood and vengeful spirits, carrying a deep-seated hatred for living beings, surged towards the Sword Prison Formation like a black tsunami bursting its banks!
They crashed against the golden sword curtain, each impact causing large swaths of sword light to sway, dim, and shatter. The disciples controlling the sword formation turned pale, blood gushed from their mouths and noses, and their souls felt as if they were being repeatedly struck by a heavy hammer!

The Nine Yang Sword Prison Formation instantly withstood a continuous impact comparable to the pressure of a Great Sage! The formation's light trembled precariously!

"The sky is cracking!"

Pei Lie took a step forward, and suddenly raised the simple and unadorned longsword in his hand!
At the tip of the sword, a point of condensed light, so intense it seemed capable of swallowing and annihilating even the gaze, suddenly shone brightly!
That wasn't the mighty power of heaven, but rather the condensation of the will of 100,000 sword cultivators and the fusion of all the undying sword energy from the Nine Yang Sword Prison—

A world-destroying force!

"cut--!"

The single word uttered was like the sound of creation, opening up the world!
That faint light suddenly stretched out!

A sword beam of light, indescribable in color and seemingly cleaving through the "nothingness" itself, ignored the distance in space and slashed fiercely at the "lifeline" connecting the blood sacrifice beam and the vortex of returning to the void!
"Sizzle—snap!!!"

There was no deafening explosion, only a piercing, mournful cry as if the crystal world and the laws of the Great Dao had been forcibly severed!
The filthy pillar of light that pierced through the void and was constructed from evil treasures and the resentment of millions of living souls was severed in response to Pei Lie's Abyss-Splitting Sword!

The allure of the core of Guixu finally broke free from the distorted guidance of the evil spirits and instantly revealed its terrifying devouring nature!
The severed blood sacrifice beam, along with the violent counterattack of a million demon souls, the overwhelming evil energy accumulated throughout the altar area, and the remaining demonic energy of the Three Evil Treasures, were like a flood bursting its banks, violently swept away and sucked back by the greedy and chaotic vortex of the Void!

"Do not--!!!"

On the altar, the several Fusang demonic cultivators who were presiding over the blood sacrifice let out an incredulous and desperate roar, and were instantly swept into the vortex, leaving not even a trace behind!

The tsunami formed by millions of demonic souls was no longer a fierce attack, but instead became the most abundant food at the entrance to the Ruins of Return, violently torn apart, devoured, and crushed by the vortex!
Its power was amplified infinitely, flowing along the interdimensional connection channel originally constructed by the demon, like a roaring waterfall of blood-red demonic souls, pouring back towards the other end—

That's the vanguard of the extraterrestrial abyss demon army, which is gathering a massive force and preparing to launch a full-scale invasion after the general attack on Penglai succeeds!

The Eye of Guixu Sea has become a deadly black hole that backfires on the demon army!

At this moment, at the edge of the core vortex, after the altar was completely shattered, a fist-sized, irregularly shaped, purplish-black crystal remained.

It floated silently, its surface flowing with a viscous, soul-like luster, as if billions of tiny souls were struggling and howling within it, emanating a terrifying aura that made one's soul tremble and one's essence deplete.

Soul-Eating Demon Crystal!
This is a wondrous object formed by forcibly compressing together the essence of a million living souls and fragments of the edge of the Ruins.

It is a deadly poison to living beings, but to beings who control the power of chaos, it contains an unimaginable amount of negative energy!

Yin Jiuyou's gaze swept over the demonic crystal, and the Netherworld Chains silently extended, not touching it directly, but transforming into a mysterious rune that instantly pulled it back to the core of the sword formation.

"Refining!"

At Pei Lie's command, the core of the Nine Yang Sword Prison Formation suddenly shone with scorching starlight.

This Soul-Eating Crystal, containing a deadly threat, was thrown into a special magic array guided and transformed by countless sword intents!
"Chichichichi——!"

The raging vengeful spirits and soul-corroding energy, like ice thrown into a furnace, emitted a chilling shriek as they were burned and transformed by the 100,000 Nine Yang Sword Qi and the special runes of the sword array.

Its terrifying energy did not dissipate; instead, it was forcibly stripped of its corrosive nature and refined into streams of deep purple, surging energy pulsating with icy soul flames!

This icy soul flame energy surged along the meridians of the Sword Prison Array, flowing into the meridians of every sword cultivator disciple!

It was icy cold and scorching, burning the soul, yet it also injected an unimaginably powerful source of energy into the depleted sword essence!
Every sword cultivator within the formation felt as if a deep volcano had been created within their body, causing both unbearable pain and boundless power!
The sword in his hand grew heavier and sharper, as if it could cleave this unjust world in two!

The sword energy of the 100,000 sword cultivators surged, becoming even stronger amidst the destructive storm of Guixu!
