I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 277 Imprisonment (Seeking monthly votes)

Most of the monsters in the North Sea Demon Tide are mindless creatures that only know how to kill and corrode; they are called 'things'.

Among them are intelligent races, each with special abilities, who can control and command other monsters to launch an orderly attack on the North Sea defense line; these are called 'Demon Race'.

Those who formed the Dream Immortal Sect and those who launched the sneak attack on the Xuan Ying Sword Sect were both members of this demonic race.

The girl in front of Jiang Yi who possessed her fire spirit root and looked exactly like her was also a demon, and one of the commanders of that raiding army back then.

With just one glance, Jiang Yi could confirm this.

After all, she pierced 'her' with her last sword, dragging her down with her to her death.

Perhaps it was for this reason, coupled with the innate source energy within Lazy Root that created all things, that she and 'her' were able to survive.

Therefore, the fragments of her body could only be pieced together to resemble a ten-year-old. The rest was taken by 'her', who used this body to walk among humans and became one of the behind-the-scenes manipulators of the Dream Fairy Cult.

It's likely that the lazy immortal who left her with the root of laziness is also connected to the demon lord behind the Dream Immortal Sect. Judging from various details, it seems to be the black and white sides of things.

It's hard to explain, and the logic is even more tangled.

Hongli and Huagu came to Jiang Yi's side one on the left and one on the right. Jiang Yi glanced at Hongli out of the corner of her eye and, with the help of the resonance method of the Yin-Yang Pendant, discovered that the Heavenly Heart Ancestor had left all of her life's knowledge to Hongli.

Among them are methods for repairing spiritual roots, and more than one. As expected of someone even her master admires, her talent is astonishing. However, whether these repair methods are usable or not, she will wait until she goes out and discuss them with her master.

If Ancestor Tianxin were to prepare more thoroughly this time and refine more magical treasures, following the same multi-treasure explosive style as Xia Wanwan, Ancestor Tianxin would be an invincible existence.

Unfortunately, she was too hasty, eager to form her core and eager to take revenge.

The Heavenly Heart Ancestor also had his own agenda: to implant hatred for Xia Changying into Hong Li's consciousness, hoping that one day Hong Li would kill him for her.

Unable to fool her, he resorted to fooling her demon spirit. Even in death, the Heavenly Heart Ancestor never gave up on revenge.

Once things are settled here, Master needs to examine Hongli's brain. Before that, we won't renew the contract.

Withdrawing the thought, Jiang Yi's lips curled slightly, her eyes as cold as knives.

"Once you leave Beihai and lose what you can parasitize and control, are you just going to lie on the ground like a dog and glare at me?"

The demonic energy in the North Sea Demon Tide is the foundation that sustains the activities of these demons. Without the waters of the North Sea, these demons cannot survive.

Currently, all the demons that leave the North Sea must parasitize the bodies of cultivators to gain combat power.

If this guy hadn't been using her fire spirit root as a disguise, he would never have been able to appear in the gathering place of human cultivators, nor could he have passed through the teleportation array at the entrance of the secret realm.

Capturing her will surely reveal more about the demon race and the North Sea demon tide.

The girl slowly rose from the rubble, her body tightly bound by red threads, and demonic energy surging around her.

Hua Gu flew above her head, and amidst the churning clouds, the Moon Soul Dew, which specifically countered evil and demonic energy, poured down. The icy, bone-chilling raindrops sizzled as they fell on the girl's body.

The girl's face contorted in pain, yet she still managed a mocking smile. "Your tricks are only good for dealing with low-level demons. And you're using a grand formation to block me? Are you that afraid I'll get close and eat you? Well, after all, we were originally meant to be one. Why not just give your body to me completely?"

"Get lost! Don't you dare touch me, you filthy thing! You've been using my face for so long, do you really think you're a human being? If you've got the guts, come at me! Let's see if you'll devour me first, or if I'll burn you to ashes first! A mere fire spirit root, I don't care!"

"you dare!"

The girl's pupils contracted sharply as demonic energy surged wildly within her body, yet she was unable to break through the Five Elements Copper Coin Formation.

As she moved, the flower on her head moved with her, and the rain continued.

You insulted my master?

Increase rainfall (▼ヘ▼#)
The girl's body rapidly disintegrated into smoke, and she laughed maniacally, her voice sharp and piercing.

"You think you're done after you destroy me? Jiang Yi, you can't stop it! This seal will collapse in an instant, and all the seals in the Northern Xuan Land will crumble one after another! At that time, the demonic tide will flatten every inch of land, and all of this..."

She looked up abruptly, her eyes bloodshot.

"You've all reaped what you sowed!"

Before she could finish speaking, the Moon Soul Dew had completely burned away the demonic energy on her body. The girl's body twisted and collapsed, eventually transforming into a fire phoenix with raging demonic flames. Black and red intertwined among her feathers, and red threads wrapped around her body like shackles. The seal that the Heavenly Heart Ancestor had placed before was still in effect.

Even so, she still violently rammed into the array's barrier, whether she wanted to destroy herself or escape was unknown.

The clouds and mist surged around Hua Gu, and the power of the Ice Phoenix erupted, freezing the Fire Phoenix into an ice sculpture in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Yi lashed out with her green vine whip to bind it again, and finally affixed five evil-suppressing talismans before putting the fire phoenix ice sculpture into the green wood cauldron and sealing it away. She had already sealed the bird's soul inside separately.

Thanks to the Heavenly Heart Ancestor's contingency plan, without the red thread restraint, she wouldn't have been able to imprison this guy so easily.

It is estimated that if she accepts the conditions of the Heavenly Heart Ancestor at the last moment, the Heavenly Heart Ancestor will use her fire spirit root to control her next step.

Go back and study what these red thread golden needles are. Needle-type magical artifacts have always been the most difficult to refine in the cultivation world, but those that are refined are all extremely powerful. Now hurry up and go support the others. We absolutely cannot let this seal be lost, otherwise, if one thing is done, everything will be in danger.

Dark blue flames continuously erupted from the abyss, and the Heavenly Ruler, amidst the thunder and fire, emitted a cracking sound as it could not bear the weight.

The mutated fox constantly burrowed underground and appeared and disappeared unpredictably. Its claws could split mountains and shatter rocks with immense strength, and its strength could reach the early to mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. Zhao Cangyun and Liu Taozhi could hardly withstand its power, and even the Ink Dragon Jade Serpent had difficulty entangled with the mutated fox.

Luo Qingsi was also enraged by the mutated fox's power and said angrily, "If the Thunder Sword can't kill you, try the Ruins-Severing Needle that my master gave me!"

Luo Qingsi's long hair danced wildly in the thunderstorm. She plunged the sword, crackling with electric arcs, into the ground, and lightning instantly spread out, forming a field of light.

Luo Qingsi closed her eyes and formed a hand seal. A clear sword sound came from deep within her spine, as if something was awakening.

"Empty Sword - Ruin Needle, unleash!"

Before she could finish speaking, a sword shadow as thin as a silver needle shot out from the back of her neck, pierced into the void, and disappeared.

Liu Taozhi was shocked and paled upon seeing this. The Broken Ruins Needle was the spirit sword in the hands of Luo Qingsi's master!
Zhao Cangyun was once again sent flying by the mutated Tanuki's fangs, and the Jade Serpent was also torn open with a hideous wound by the Tanuki's claws. At this moment, the space above the mutated Tanuki's head suddenly shattered like a mirror, and dark blue flames burst forth wildly, trying to block this invisible killing intent.

However, Luo Qingsi, wielding the Ruins-Breaking Needle, moved like lightning within her Thunder Sword Domain, tearing through space and passing over the blue flames, precisely piercing the junction of rotting flesh and bone at the neck of the Tan Li!
Roar--

The fox roared furiously, its rotting flesh multiplying wildly in an attempt to heal its wounds. But wherever the Ruins-Breaking Needle passed, the power of space, like a malignant tumor clinging to bone, continuously tore at its flesh.

Tanuki slammed its foot on the ground, its massive body instantly disappearing into the earth in an attempt to escape the deadly sword.

Luo Qingsi transformed into a bolt of lightning, with spatial rifts constantly flashing around the mutated tanuki, ignoring spatial barriers. Each sword strike precisely struck the joints, the connection between the rotting flesh and the skeleton of the mutated tanuki.

A trickle of blood spilled from Luo Qingsi's lips. The consumption and backlash from controlling this sword far exceeded her expectations. Her consciousness felt as if it were being torn apart by a thousand knives, and every burst of spatial power was tearing at her soul.

But she didn't stop.

"Senior Sister said... if you lose a fight... you'll lose spirit stones!"

Luo Qingsi gritted her teeth and shouted, her pupils flashing with lightning!
"Break!"

Click!

With the final strike, the Shattering Needle cleaved through the gap between Tanuki's head and spine, tearing its head and body apart!

With a miserable howl, Tanuki's massive body crashed to the ground, its rotting flesh going limp like mud. The eerie blue flames gradually died down, and it fell silent.

Luo Qingsi finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground.

"Senior Sister Qingsi!"

Liu Tao rushed over to support Luo Qingsi, whose face was pale as she forced a silly smile, "No need to deduct... spirit stones, hehe..."

Spring rains have arrived again, helping Luo Qingsi recover and heal her injuries in time.

Hua Gu and Hong Li rushed over with Jiang Yi. Seeing that the blue flames were burning the Zhangtianchi to the point of collapse, Zhao Cangyun fiercely wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"I'll go down and swallow this fire!"

After saying that, Zhao Cangyun, covered in blood, jumped into the abyss. Golden flames and dark blue flames on his body tore at each other wildly. Zhao Cangyun hesitated for a moment, but finally took off the bracelet that imprisoned his demonic power.

Whether by coincidence or not, Jiang Yi happened to set up an impenetrable Five Elements Copper Coin Array at this moment, surrounding the Zhang Tian Chi, and the array's light blocked the blue fire and the gradually demonizing Zhao Cangyun behind it.

"Hongli, you go too!"

The Xuanwu Heart Fire continued to erupt, and Zhao Cangyun, a mere Qilin, could not possibly devour so much fire.

Jiang Yi threw out the Yin-Yang Pendant, and Hong Li leaped up, caught it in her mouth, and jumped into the gap in the array that Jiang Yi had opened. She also began to absorb the Xuanwu Heart Fire, drawing what she couldn't swallow into the Yin-Yang Pendant.

Save it and eat it slowly later!
The Xuanwu Heart Flame beneath the abyss gradually weakened under the combined efforts of Zhao Cangyun and Hong Li, but the crimson lightning outside the underground palace remained as raging as ever.

Nourished by the Spring Rain Technique, Luo Qingsi stood up again. "Senior Sister, please put away that pile of bones for me. I'll go deal with these blind bastards!"

She had promised her senior sister that she would kill anyone who damaged the Heavenly Ruler.

Luo Qingsi transformed into a purple lightning bolt and soared into the sky, forcefully cleaving a gap in the top of the underground palace before escaping.

Sand and gravel fell in a flurry, and Jiang Yi and Liu Tao exchanged a knowing glance.

"Hua Gu!"

The illusory image of the ice phoenix and the Frosty Sky Sword Qi bloomed simultaneously, and the extreme cold power spread along the cracks in the Heavenly Ruler, weaving an ice net on the surface of the ruler in an attempt to slow down the spread of the cracks.

Behind them, the battlefield echoed with a continuous series of explosions. With each punch Shen Puning threw, large swathes of stone figures shattered. Xin Wushuang unleashed a barrage of arrows, and Baozhu, Wanli, and Zhenshan Duanjin also fought with all their might.

Jiang Yi's throat tightened slightly, feeling incredibly fortunate to have so many friends by her side who could fight alongside her!
