Chapter 231 Establishing Prestige The mantis was dark blue all over, and about ten feet long. After being forced out of its body, there was a hint of panic in its eyes. It has been more than ten years since the killing of Long Xi, but the news is still widely spread among the demon clan. That was a great demon that had undergone three heavenly tribulations, and also had the blood of a demon dragon. Apart from facing the five royal families, it could run rampant in the Ten Thousand Mountains. But it was said that such a being was killed silently after breaking into the mountain, and at the same time, a Shura who had undergone three heavenly tribulations was also killed. Compared with these, it was nothing. It was so drunk with killing today that it forgot about this matter for a moment when it saw its own people being killed. Within the area of several dozen feet, various Dao essences appeared, intertwined and stimulated each other, and the void collapsed. The mantis demon only felt a huge force in the center that was attracting everything, and its body could not escape at all. He quickly activated the demon pill, and the realm of heaven and man opened up, and his body grew dozens of times larger in an instant. In the blink of an eye, the huge mantis body was torn into pieces. "The art of escaping from the shell? You think you can fool me with this? That's wishful thinking!" Gu Yuanqing snorted lightly, and as soon as he thought about it, the Demon-Subduing Sword instantly disappeared from its original location and appeared a hundred feet away. The sword's energy burst out, covering an area of a hundred feet in radius.
As Gu Yuanqing's cultivation level increased, the power of the Demon-Subduing Sword became greater than before. Strands of sword energy cut through the void, instantly forcing Mantis to reveal his figure again. Its figure kept flashing, and the waving arm blades turned into afterimages to resist the sword energy coming from all directions, but it was unable to resist it all. Its heavenly realm was constantly trembling, and every wisp of sword energy from the Demon-Subduing Sword had the ability to shake that heavenly realm. At this time, the true form of the Demon-Subduing Sword had arrived, and the mind was locked on it, making it unavoidable. It slashed with both swords together, and a flash of black light went straight to the Demon-Subduing Sword. However, it is only the second calamity of heaven change. Even Gu Yuanqing more than ten years ago could have killed it, not to mention that he has already broken through Xutian and perfected the great way of Xutian world in the cultivation world. The Demon-Subduing Sword broke through its sword force like a whirlwind and destroyed its mantis arm. It wanted to use the same trick again, using its spirit and soul to control the world of heaven and man and try to escape. But the Demon-Subduing Sword could directly break into the void and pierce the inner elixir. The celestial world fell into reality and expanded rapidly. A mantis spirit screamed and struggled in its death throes, but it was of no use at all. Seeing that he could not escape, the demon's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and he controlled the world of heaven and man to crash into Beiquan Mountain. Gu Yuanqing saw through its plan at a glance. In the world of heaven and man that had experienced the second calamity, all things in it had transformed into the real world. If the Dao essence was stimulated, the world would collapse, and power would leak out. The power that could be erupted would far exceed the level of the second calamity of heaven. With a sneer on his lips, he changed his fingers into palms and pressed down hard. The shadow of a green mountain emerged and suppressed it. Boom! The world of heaven and man completely collapsed a thousand miles away from Beiquan Mountain. Endless power was unleashed, razing the area within a radius of dozens of miles to the ground. The trees and rocks were all turned into dust, and the monsters roaming in the area were destroyed without any resistance. Gu Yuanqing frowned slightly. This demon was more decisive than the ones he had killed before. It stirred up the essence of Tao and caused the world to be destroyed. Everything hidden in the heavens and humans was destroyed. "What a pity! If we can capture it, we can do a lot with the things hidden in the world of heaven and man." He raised his head and glanced at the blood moon in the sky: "Is it related to it? The demons at night are completely different from those in the daytime." A great demon that had undergone the second calamity of heaven transformation was killed in the blink of an eye. This scene frightened the demon tribe outside.
The dragon stared at Beiquan Mountain, with a hint of fear in its blood-red eyes. As for the other monsters below the heavens, they had already turned around and fled, fearing that they would be killed if they were too close. On the top of the Bamboo Mountain, Xiong Mo and Xiong Ba were both looking at this place from afar. This place was within the territory of the Iron-Eating Clan, and there were means secretly deployed by the Iron-Eating Clan, so even though it was thousands of miles away, they could still see it clearly. Xiong Ba opened his mouth and said, "His strength seems to be much stronger than more than ten years ago. We are nearly two thousand miles away. Although this stink bug is not as powerful as me, it is not an ordinary second catastrophe. If it dies, the mantis clan will be seriously injured. I am afraid it will be difficult for them to become powerful for hundreds of years." Xiong Mo said calmly: "He was attracted by the blood moon and blinded by the killing intent. What a pity. It is rare for the insect clan to have a great demon of heaven and earth." Xiong Ba turned around and asked, "Boss, do you think that Fellow Daoist Gu has broken through the Heavenly Change and entered the Yin-Yang realm?" Xiong Mo frowned slightly and shook his head, "I don't know either. That mountain obscures everything. I can't see through his cultivation. However, he can easily destroy the second calamity of the heavenly transformation, which is definitely not something that an ordinary third calamity of the heavenly transformation can do. Even if he hasn't entered the Yin-Yang realm, I think he is not far behind." Xiong Ba pulled out a magic bamboo, took a bite, and smacked it a few times. He squinted his eyes in enjoyment and grinned, "The Heavenly Man Holy Temple of the human race in this world has made enemies with them. Aren't they regretting it now?" "So, my Iron-Eating Clan is still smart." Xiong Mo smiled proudly and glanced at Xiong Ba out of the corner of his eye. He didn't pay attention at first, but suddenly remembered something, turned his head and glared at him, then snatched the bamboo from Xiong Ba's hand. "Violet Bamboo? Didn't you say you had finished eating last time I asked you?" As it spoke, it began to eat with big mouthfuls of food, making a crunching sound. Xiong Ba was stunned for a moment, then said angrily, "This is the last one." …… On the holy mountain. Yan Zongsheng, the Lord of the Temple in a purple robe, stood on the top of the peak, looking out at the human realm. He frowned slightly and sighed, "The influence of the demonic energy on the demon race is greater than I expected, and it is three years faster than I calculated." Behind him, a middle-aged man in green clothes said, "Fortunately, the Palace Master had made preparations and relocated a lot of people, otherwise the loss would be even greater this time." Yan Zongsheng shook his head: "What a pity! If we were given another year, we would have more time. Master Zhao, how is the progress of refining the formation base?" Xing Shizhao smiled bitterly and said, "Only 74 of the 108 magic weapons have been refined. These array weapons are all top-grade magic weapons. Ordinary array masters and weapon refiners can't help at all. Moreover, many of them are still lacking spiritual materials. Even if the four major countries try their best to collect them, it is still far from enough. In addition, the battle in the underground cave consumed a lot of resources. Now the battle with the monsters has also broken out. I am afraid it will be even more difficult. In particular, the main production areas of Xingxia Sand and Chixia Stone are in Zhenbei City and Qizhou Prefecture. Now that these two domains have fallen into the hands of the monsters, I am afraid that the refining progress will be affected again." Upon hearing this, Yan Zongsheng said in a deep voice: "No matter what, these formation tools must be secured first. We don't have much time. The longer we delay, the thicker the demonic energy in this world will be. Whether it is the demon race or the cave monsters, it will be more difficult to deal with them." "As ordered!" "Go down." The middle-aged man clasped his fists, took three steps back, and turned to leave. Yan Zongsheng turned his gaze towards the entrance of the cave and said to himself, "It seems that the time to abandon the cave has to be brought forward. However, once the human race gives up guarding the cave, I am afraid that several major royal families of the demon race will intervene in the battlefield, so we need to make long-term plans.
