I'm in Yellow Maple Valley, and I have one equipment slot!

Chapter 342 Destroying the Old Demon Qian! The Yinluo Sect has truly been wiped out!

He saw the black sphere mixed in with the bone knife and black bells, heading towards him.

An alarm bell rang in Zhou Yuan's mind.

That black sphere, though it looked plain and unassuming, gave him a sense of crisis.

The Immortal-Slaying Pearl!

This creature is known as "Lei Zhenzi" in the spirit world, and as the Destroyer of Immortals in the human world.

It is said that this item was originally created for mortals without magical powers to use against high-level demonic beasts.

Later, it passed into the hands of monks.

It has become one of the few powerful, one-time-use treasures that are rare even in the spirit world, requiring no magical power whatsoever, and can be controlled by mortals. It is of excellent quality and can even threaten the lives of Nascent Soul cultivators!

Although the Immortal Extinction Pearl that Old Demon Qian summoned did not seem to be of the highest quality, even so, the explosive power of its explosion was enough to make any late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator suffer greatly!

If hit head-on —

"We absolutely cannot tough it out!"

Zhou Yuan made a decision instantly.

Although he possessed the Six Ding Heavenly Armor Talisman, a top-tier defensive talisman.

But unless you're completely out of your mind, you would never try to withstand such a deadly weapon that would result in mutual destruction!

Once the Immortal-Slaying Pearl is activated, the explosion range is extremely wide. Since Old Demon Qian himself is also within the explosion range, he cannot detonate it at extremely close range and must leave a certain safe distance.

This gave Zhou Yuan time to react!

At this critical moment, a sharp glint flashed in Zhou Yuan's eyes!

Instead of retreating and hiding, he made an extremely bold decision!

He suddenly activated his divine sense, mobilizing the vast and boundless power of his divine sense within the Divine Court without reservation!

Twelve invisible and ethereal divine spikes, condensed to the extreme and seemingly capable of piercing the soul, instantly coalesced in front of him!

The Twelve Divine Threats—Break!

Zhou Yuan gave a low shout in his heart, and the twelve invisible divine sense spikes ignored the distance in space and, as if by teleportation, fiercely pierced into Qian Laomo's sea of ​​consciousness between his eyebrows!

"Ugh—!!!"

Old Demon Qian was fully controlling the three treasures, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Zhou Yuan. Who would have thought that Zhou Yuan would launch such a fierce and bizarre spiritual attack at this moment!

He felt as if twelve red-hot steel needles were piercing and stirring his sea of ​​consciousness, and a soul-tearing pain instantly overwhelmed him!

He let out a shrill scream, clutched his head, his body trembled violently, and his mind instantly went blank! The three treasures that were about to fly in front of Zhou Yuan, especially the Immortal-Slaying Pearl, paused slightly in the air and slowed down because they lost his precise control of his magic power!

opportunity!

Zhou Yuan had been waiting for this moment!

The azure wind and thunder light on his wings suddenly shone to its extreme!

"Crackling sound!!!"

A crisp thunderous sound rang out! Zhou Yuan's figure, as if teleporting, left a faint afterimage in the original spot, and the next moment, he had already appeared next to the Immortal Extinction Pearl that had paused slightly!

Without hesitation, he reached out and grabbed the walnut-sized, jet-black Immortal-Slaying Pearl in his hand!

It felt icy to the touch, and a violent, destructive energy stirred within the bead.

Zhou Yuan dared not delay and immediately sealed the Immortal-Slaying Pearl at the fastest speed.

Several layers of restrictive talismans were affixed, completely isolating its aura from the outside world!

After doing all this, Zhou Yuan finally let out a long sigh of relief, feeling a bit of cold sweat on his back.

Only he himself knew the danger he had just experienced.

If his reaction had been a beat slower, or if the Twelve Divine Thorns had been less effective, he would have been unable to interrupt Old Demon Qian's control.

At this moment, he would probably have already used up a Thousand-Mile Traction Talisman to escape from the Yinluo Sect.

They might even be reduced to ashes in that horrific explosion!

"Damn it!"

At this moment, Qian Laomo finally recovered from the excruciating pain in his mind. When he saw that Zhou Yuan had actually taken away his trump card, the Immortal Extermination Pearl, he was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood!

He was both shocked and furious, and his eyes were filled with disbelief and a hint of fear as he looked at Zhou Yuan!

This person not only possesses profound magical power and divine swordsmanship, but also has such a terrifying secret technique for attacking with divine sense!

Even an old demon like him, at the late Nascent Soul stage, fell for his trick!

Take advantage of his illness and kill him!

After Zhou Yuan seized the Immortal Extinction Pearl, he did not pause at all and immediately activated the Great Geng Sword Formation, which had been ready to be unleashed!

The seventy-two Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords shone brightly, transforming into a rain of golden swords that swept towards the injured and mentally unstable Old Demon Qian like a storm!

Old Demon Qian's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly endured the excruciating pain in his sea of ​​consciousness, urged his magic power, and controlled the combined Five Hearts Demon and several defensive magic treasures to desperately resist Zhou Yuan's relentless rain of sword attacks!

However, Zhou Yuan's offensive was simply too fierce!

Moreover, his magical power seemed inexhaustible, and he could use all kinds of powerful spells at will without any fear of depletion!

Old Demon Qian's strength was already greatly reduced due to the damage to his divine sense. At this moment, he was beaten down by Zhou Yuan's storm-like attacks and could only parry, with no power to fight back!

"No! If this continues, I'll be worn down to death sooner or later!" Old Demon Qian was extremely anxious. He glanced at the Five-Hearted Demon, who was entangled by the Beast Demon and the Heavenly Demon Corpse and couldn't break free for the time being, and then glanced at the sect disciples below who were suffering heavy casualties and whose morale was low. A resolute look flashed in his eyes!

He gritted his teeth and, ignoring Zhou Yuan's rain of sword attacks, forcibly activated his secret technique, causing his body to swell with blood-red light.

Zhou Yuan would not let him have his way! He had long been on guard against this move by Old Demon Qian!

"Trying to run? Not so easy!"

Zhou Yuan snorted coldly, made a hand seal with his left hand, and several thousand-foot-wide cyan wind walls appeared out of thin air, like natural barriers, blocking all possible escape routes for Old Demon Qian!

At the same time, he mentally connected with the beast demon and the Heavenly Demon Corpse, ordering them to hold the Five Heart Demons back at all costs and prevent them from returning to help!

He himself focused all his energy on launching a fierce attack on Qian Laomo!

Thousand Swords Technique!

The Great Geng Sword Formation!

Zhou Yuan unleashed all his hidden supernatural abilities as if they were free!

Combining magic with magical artifacts and supernatural powers.

In an instant, the entire sky was engulfed by golden sword light, silver lightning, and the glow of various spells!

Although Qian Laomo fought desperately, his divine sense was first severely injured by the Twelve Thorns of the Divine Court, and then Zhou Yuan took away his strongest trump card, the Immortal Extinction Pearl. At this moment, he was already at his last gasp.

Under Zhou Yuan's almost frenzied bombardment, his defensive treasures shattered and exploded one after another!

finally-

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

Several golden sword lights, like venomous snakes, broke through Qian Laomo's defenses and pierced his body, leaving several transparent holes in him!

"Ah—!" Old Demon Qian let out a shrill scream, spitting out blood!

However, this old devil is truly ruthless!

Ignoring his severe injuries, his mangled body suddenly exploded, turning into a thick cloud of blood mist that shot out in one direction!

Then, hundreds of feet away, the blood mist suddenly gathered and actually reformed his figure! However, the reformed body was obviously much more illusory and dim than before, and his aura was also much weaker!

"Let's see how many times you can reunite!" Zhou Yuan sneered, and his sword light swept upwards once again!

The old demon's eyes were filled with horror and despair!

Although he can consume his essence and vital energy to reshape his physical body, each reshaping consumes a large amount of his original essence!

Given his current condition, it won't be long before he suffers a severe blow.

He dared not linger in the fight any longer, and once again turned into a blood mist, attempting to escape!

But Zhou Yuan's attacks, like a leech, relentlessly followed him!

Every time he was reshaped, before he could even use his escape technique, Zhou Yuan's sword light would already be there!

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

It was pierced and torn apart several times in a row!

The blood-red body that Qian Laomo reconstructed became dimmer with each reconstruction, and its aura grew weaker with each reconstruction!

When Qian Laomo was shattered by Zhou Yuan's sword light for the last time and turned into a thin cloud of blood mist, he did not re-form into human form as before, but instead suddenly shrank towards the center!

With a flash of blood-red light, the blood mist condensed into a fist-sized, blood-red, crystal-clear bead that looked as if it were carved from the purest ruby—the Blood Demon Bead!

This bead is renowned throughout the demonic path! Cultivators can entrust their nascent soul and spirit to the Blood Demon Bead, making it almost like a second physical body!

However, the conditions for cultivating this bead are extremely demanding. Not only does it require collecting the essence blood of hundreds of different spirit beasts, but it also requires cultivating several extremely special demonic arts. Moreover, the method of refining it is said to have been lost long ago!

Unexpectedly, Old Demon Qian actually succeeded in refining it!

Old Demon Qian placed all his hopes on this Blood Demon Pearl!

He manipulated the Blood Demon Pearl, transforming it into a streak of blood-red light, and fled desperately towards the distant horizon at a speed several times faster than before!

However, Zhou Yuan had already anticipated this move!

"Hmph! I've been waiting for you!"

With a flash of lightning from the Wind and Thunder Wings behind Zhou Yuan, his figure moved like a ghost, arriving first despite being behind, and blocking the Blood Demon Pearl in front of him!

At the same time, he raised his hands, and a huge lightning net, woven from countless fine golden arcs of electricity, appeared out of thin air and descended upon the Blood Demon Pearl!

The old demon Qian's nascent soul inside the Blood Demon Pearl was terrified when it saw the familiar and chilling Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder!

He quickly manipulated the Blood Demon Orb to spew out a large mouthful of thick blood mist, attempting to resist the golden lightning net!

But at that moment, Zhou Yuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light again! He had just recovered some of his divine sense power from the Soul Stone, and now he unleashed the Twelve Divine Thrusters once more!

Twelve more invisible divine sense spikes pierced fiercely into the Blood Demon Pearl and into Old Demon Qian's already weakened nascent soul!

"ah--!!!"

The old demon Qian's nascent soul let out an even more shrill scream, and his consciousness instantly fell into chaos!

The sprayed blood mist also lost control, and was easily torn apart and evaporated by the golden lightning net!

Taking this opportunity, Zhou Yuan did not hesitate and immediately summoned the Void Heaven Cauldron!

"The Void Heaven Cauldron expanded in the wind, and its lid flew up automatically! From the mouth of the cauldron, a large patch of hazy blue light spewed out, like a whale sucking in water, instantly engulfing the Blood Demon Pearl!"

The Blood Demon Orb struggled wildly in the azure glow, thrashing left and right, trying to break free!

But the Void Heaven Cauldron is a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, and its power is something that a Blood Demon Pearl that has lost its master's control can not contend with.

No matter how hard it struggled, it could not break free from that seemingly gentle blue glow!

Zhou Yuanfei stepped forward, reached out and beckoned, and the Blood Demon Pearl, which was bound by the azure glow, obediently fell into his palm.

He quickly placed several layers of powerful restrictions on the Blood Demon Orb, completely sealing Qian Laomo's nascent soul.

Thus, Qian Laomo, the last Nascent Soul stage cultivator of the Yinluo Sect, was captured!

"Elder!"

"The Grand Elder has been captured alive!"

The two remaining Nascent Soul stage elders of the Yinluo Sect, along with the hundreds of Core Formation and Foundation Establishment stage disciples on the periphery who had already been terrified by the Beast Demon and the Heavenly Demon Corpse, and were further intimidated by Zhou Yuan's terrifying strength, which was like a god descending to earth, were all pale-faced at this moment.

His eyes were filled with despair and fear.

Even the sect's only pillar of strength, the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator Qian Laomo, was so easily defeated and captured alive by the other party. What hope do these people have?

In an instant, the Yinluo Sect's mountain gate was filled with cries, shouts, and the sound of magical artifacts falling, and morale completely collapsed.

Many clever disciples had already begun to quietly flee towards the mountain gate, trying to escape this ruin that was about to completely fall into ruin.

Zhou Yuan hovered in mid-air, his gaze sweeping coldly over the Yinluo Sect cultivators below who were panicking like ants, without continuing his slaughter.

His goal from the very beginning was clear: decapitation!

Destroy the Yinluo Sect's high-end combat force, plunder its resources, and establish our prestige!

As for those lower-level disciples, killing them would be pointless and would only dirty our hands.

His gaze shifted to the other side.

There, the combined Five-Hearted Demon, the moment the Old Demon Qian was subdued and his nascent soul was sealed, seemed like a puppet without a soul. Its originally fierce and violent movements suddenly froze, and the ghostly light in its empty eyes flickered uncertainly. It actually stopped attacking the Beast Demon and the Heavenly Annihilation Demon Corpse.

Its massive white demonic body swayed in place for a moment, then, as if sensing the aura of Zhou Yuan, the "culprit," it suddenly turned its head, let out a silent roar, and abandoned the Beast Demon and the Heavenly Demon Corpse, rushing towards Zhou Yuan like a white lightning bolt!

"Hmph! You think you can turn the world upside down now that you've lost your master's control?" Zhou Yuan looked at the Five Hearts Demon rushing towards him with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

He neither dodged nor avoided, but simply shook the Void Heaven Cauldron in his hand lightly!

"Buzz—!"

The Void Cauldron emitted another buzzing sound, and from its mouth spewed out an even more dazzling patch of azure light.

The rosy clouds intertwined in the air, instantly transforming into a huge azure net of light, like a net covering the heavens and the earth, descending upon the Five-Hearted Demon!

Although the Five-Hearted Demon was fierce, it had lost the support of the old demon Qian's magic power and divine control, and acted entirely on instinct.

Faced with the binding light emitted by the Void Heaven Cauldron, a spiritual treasure that reaches the heavens, it was powerless to resist. After struggling for a moment, it was firmly trapped by the blue light net and could not move!

Zhou Yuanfei stepped forward and flicked his ten fingers in rapid succession. One after another, extremely condensed magical runes flew out like chains, accurately striking the five white demonic figures in their brows, chests, dantian, and other key acupoints!

He intends to completely seal away these five demonic beings!

"seal up!"

With a low shout from Zhou Yuan, the light on the five white demonic figures quickly dimmed, and their shapes shrank rapidly, eventually transforming into five small demonic statues, only about a foot tall, pale white in color, and as if carved from jade, which floated quietly in the cyan light net.

Zhou Yuan did not stop there. He knew that the Five Hearts Demon was a top-level demonic creature that Old Demon Qian had painstakingly refined with the help of five of his closest Nascent Soul cultivators. It was extremely ferocious, and ordinary sealing would probably not last long.

He stretched out his finger, and strands of golden lightning, as thin as hair yet containing the mighty power of heaven, wrapped around his fingertip!

Using his fingertips as a brush and the exorcising divine thunder as ink, he carefully outlined profound golden runes on the surface of each white golem, forming a dense network of golden threads that completely enveloped the golem.

The power of the Divine Thunder, which is extremely yang and strong and can suppress all yin and evil demonic energy, seeped into the demonic statue, further suppressing and purifying its demonic nature.

After doing all this, Zhou Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

He flipped his hand and took out a treasure—the very same Vajra Shield he had obtained in the Snow Ridge Mountains!

This item is a Buddhist treasure, containing pure Buddhist vows and demon-subduing power. It is perfect for suppressing evil demons like the Five Sons United in Heart!

He threw the Vajra Shield at the five sealed demon statues.

The Vajra Shield spun rapidly, transforming into a soft golden Buddhist light that enveloped the five demon statues.

The golden threads of Buddha's light and the divine thunder that wards off evil intertwined, forming a double seal.

Under the dual suppression of this Buddhist treasure and the exorcising divine thunder, these five demons with one heart have no chance of escaping!

Having properly dealt with the Five-Hearted Demon, Zhou Yuan turned his gaze downwards once more.

The two remaining elders of the Yinluo Sect, both at the early Nascent Soul stage, had gone completely insane.

With a thought, Zhou Yuan unleashed two golden sword beams!

"Pfft!" "Pfft!"

Two heads shot into the sky!

Two streams of blood spurted out!

The physical bodies and nascent souls of the two elders in the early Nascent Soul stage were instantly annihilated by the fierce sword energy and turned into dust!

Thus, all the Nascent Soul stage cultivators within the Yinluo Sect's mountain gate were executed!

Zhou Yuan sheathed the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, clapped his hands, as if he had only done a trivial matter.

With a flicker of his body, he flew towards the most magnificent and heavily guarded building deep within the Yinluo Sect's mountain gate—the sect's treasure vault!

The treasure vault's gate was forged from several feet thick black iron, covered with densely packed defensive runes and trigger restrictions.

But these restrictions were useless in front of Zhou Yuan.

Having previously searched the soul, he knew many of the sect's methods for removing restrictions, and quickly broke through them.

The treasure vault doors collapsed with a crash, revealing mountains of treasures inside!

Without any hesitation, Zhou Yuan waved his hand and collected all the items in the treasure vault into his storage bracelet, just like a whale sucking up water!

The Yinluo Sect has been established for ten thousand years, and the wealth it has accumulated is simply astronomical!

Although Zhou Yuan himself could not use most of these items, they could be used to enrich the treasure trove of the Ascension Immortal Sect, or rewarded to his disciples, or even exchanged for other necessities.

After completely emptying the treasure vault, Zhou Yuan glanced at the once mighty demonic sect that had now been reduced to ruins, his eyes filled with no pity.

He recalled the Beast Demon and the Heavenly Demon Corpse, storing them in his Spirit Beast Bag and Storage Bag respectively. Then, with a flap of his Wind and Thunder Wings, he transformed into a golden streak of light and swiftly left the Fangmang Mountains.

The Yinluo Sect, a demonic sect that has stood for tens of thousands of years in the cultivation world of the Great Jin Dynasty, is now dead in name only.

Even if there are still a group of Nascent Soul elders outside, it is impossible to restore their former glory.

After this battle, Zhou Yuan's name will truly shake the entire cultivation world of the Great Jin Dynasty.
