As the war continues, various spiritual resources are consumed rapidly!
The Chiyan Sect moved out of the family property they had accumulated for many years, and at the same time accelerated the collection of local resources such as Qingyun Cave Sky and Wulong Mountain. A large amount of raw materials were refined into finished elixirs, magical instruments, talismans and other items, which were continuously supplied to those participating in the war. Monk.
Shortly after the fourteen demon caves descended on the Shituo Mountains, Zhao Lingyin stopped practicing and returned to Wulong Mountain from the lower realm.
Although she has a sixth-level puppet Xian'e who can exert combat power comparable to that of the early phaseless realm, she is not good at fighting, and there are now a large number of phaseless realm monks gathered in the Shituo Mountains, and she is not much more than one.
Therefore, neither Shen Mo nor the temporary decision-making team composed of many true immortals agreed to her request to fight, and only assigned her the task of refining high-level elixirs...
Over the years, Zhao Lingyin has never stopped practicing alchemy. Now she is not far from the sixth level. Looking at all the alchemy masters of the Five Dragon Mountain forces such as Chiyan Sect, Lishan Alchemy Sect, Tianfeng Palace, etc., her alchemy attainments are also She was second to none. Rather than going to the battlefield to kill the devil herself, refining elixirs at the rear allowed her to do her best and play a greater role in the development of the situation.
After all, for higher-level immortal cultivators, low-level elixirs have little effect and need higher-level elixirs.
As the demonic energy that fills the heaven and earth of the Shituo Mountains becomes more and more intense, the chances of immortal cultivators giving birth to inner demons are also increasing. Even the great monks of Shenqiao and the Phaseless Realm may suffer from a mental flaw at a certain moment. And the inner demon was born, and he was infected by the new type of demon.
Immortal cultivators urgently need a large number of high-level demon-subduing pills, Taixu pills, exorcism-free pills and other elixirs to weaken the influence of evil spirits on themselves as much as possible and prevent inner demons from causing trouble and becoming heavenly demons!
In addition, the original bodies of the mutated demons on the battlefield were from different races, including demon-dyed monks, demon-dyed true dragons, demon-dyed ghosts, demon-dyed monsters, demon-dyed spirits, and so on.
This makes them have completely different fighting styles, and they can use a variety of magical powers and killing methods. Once the monk is injured by the demon, corresponding elixirs will be needed to heal depending on the severity of the injury!
There are also pills to restore true energy and mana, which are in short supply...
After Zhao Lingyin returned from the Dragon Heart Realm, she was refining high-level elixirs almost all the time without any leisure time.
Most of the other alchemists, casters, talisman makers, and other immortal cultivators on Wulong Mountain who have certain attainments in the various arts of cultivating immortals are in a similar state. They are so busy that they wish they had three heads, six arms, or multiple incarnations. , after the war started, they didn't even have time to meditate to recover their mana, so they could only rely on taking pills to survive.
Whenever a large-scale war breaks out in the world of immortality, such monks are often well protected from outside interference. Unless it is a matter of life and death, they will not be allowed to go into battle to kill the enemy.
However, after a war, these monks who provide logistical support to the front line often suffer from irreparable damage to their souls or even die directly due to many reasons such as mental and physical exhaustion, exhaustion of their origins, and runaway mana. The casualty rate is also alarmingly high. .
With the concerted efforts of countless immortal cultivators, the further spread of the evil disaster was finally contained.
However, the overall situation is still not optimistic.
The demons pouring out of the fourteen demon caves seem to be endless. Even if the immortal cultivators massacre and kill them, their scale and overall strength are still growing;
With the supply of Shen Mo's mana, the Soul Refining Banner is refining the demons all the time, but it also seems to be a drop in the bucket. After a large number of demons fall, it is impossible to recover their corpses, cut off the escape of the demons' origins, and continue to pollute them. This is the world!
So far, no seventh-level demon has emerged from the cave.
The true immortals who came to the Shituo Mountains to eliminate demons and protect the way, in addition to providing immortal power to the Earth Yuan Jue Formation to enhance the power of the formation, are also recharging their energy and quietly waiting for the day when the seventh-level demon takes action... Everyone knows that this day will not come too late.
There are two key points in this battle.
The seventh-level great demons in the Demon Cave have no regard for the life and death of their fellow humans. In their eyes, even the high-level demons are just a group of more majestic demons.
The scale of the demon tide is still there
If it grows stronger, it can continue to pollute the world where the Corpse Mountains are located. Once this world is completely transformed into a demonic realm, even if the mid-level seventh-level demons leave the demon cave, they will still have strength comparable to that of gods and immortals, while the early-level seventh-level demons will have Possessing strength comparable to human immortals and earthly immortals.
Therefore, as long as the immortal cultivators cannot eliminate the origin of the escaped demons in a short period of time, it does not matter how many demons below the seventh level die, and they will even take the initiative to sacrifice more demons to speed up the pollution of the world.
When the Shituo Mountain Range is completely transformed into a demonic realm, the seventh-order great demons in the fourteen demon caves will take action!
Another key node is on the Earth Element Absolute Formation.
At present, there are a total of thirty-seven statues in the formation sitting in the major immortal mountains, among which eight have reached the earthly immortal level, forming a stalemate with the Demon Cave.
Many years ago, during the battle to quell the demonic disaster in Dongjie Continent, five top earth immortals including Yuquan Fairy, Jinguang Daoist, and Wumeng used an incomplete prototype of the earth formation to fight against Chunyangzi, who was in the mid-seventh level in the demon realm. And a demon cave in the world of demons.
Now, the Scarlet Flame Sect's Earth Element Jue Formation has completed seventy-two earth evil techniques, and the Shituo Mountains have not yet become a demon domain, but the number of powerful heavenly demons and demon caves is not the same.
According to the calculations of Shen Mo and Taoist Priest Jin Guang, even if there is only one seventh-level mid-level Great Heavenly Demon in each Heavenly Demon Realm Demon Cave, under a demonic disaster of this scale, the Earth Yuan Absolute Formation will require at least thirty Earthly Immortal-level true immortals, plus Forty-two ghost immortals and human immortals sit on the seventy-two fairy mountains that serve as the formation's eyes, providing blessings for the formation.
In this way, we can completely suppress the Demon Cave and the seventh-level demons inside, and have a greater chance of winning when the day of decisive battle comes.
Because of this, both sides are waiting for the day when a certain key node will arrive;
And according to the current trend, it will not take more than three years for the Shituo Mountain Range to completely transform into a demonic realm, or for the power of the Earth Origin Array to reach its peak!
…
If it were in the past, Shen Mo would not only have to control the Earth Element Absolute Formation, but also sacrifice the demon soul generals, and would not be able to spare the time and energy to take care of his cultivation at the same time.
However, the situation is different now. The Earth Yuan Jue Formation has Taoist Priest Jinguang and other true immortals to help maintain its operation, and the soul refining flag also has a sharp reduction in backlash because the demon soul in the flag will practice the "Selfless Demon Sutra", so that He will be more comfortable refining new demon souls.
Therefore, even if the battlefield is full of flames and the situation is tense, he can still take time to gather the Hunyuan Dharma and strive to take his own path a step further before the decisive battle breaks out!
The second year after the devil's cave came, Shen Mo finally broke through to the peak of the phaseless realm as he wished after quelling three disasters and six catastrophes and slaying the inner demons originating from the Taoist heart.
For a time, the sky above Wulong Mountain was filled with fairy light, and various visions appeared, attracting the attention of many great monks and even true immortals.
During this period, the demon souls in the Soul Refining Banner will not stop practicing the "Selfless Demon Sutra", but hundreds of millions of demon souls will practice at the same time, consuming the spiritual energy of the world to a shocking level. In addition, Countless powerful immortals gathered in the Shituo Mountains, causing the spiritual energy of this place to drop directly to another level.
Fortunately, the Demonic Soul General was originally refined by the Heavenly Demon. It can also absorb the Demonic Qi for cultivation, and to a certain extent, it has also curbed the increase in the content of the Demonic Qi.
Before Shen Mo broke through the realm, there were two sixth-level peak demon soul generals in the banner who were successfully promoted to the seventh level. After surviving the promotion calamity, they merged with the Tao;
One of them was found by Wang Hong from the Nine Nether Sea, and the other was the Great Heavenly Demon who came out of the Demon Cave. After devouring thousands of immortal cultivators, the seventh-level demon soul dragged Banzhi Jiajun into the blood. river.
Counting Banzhi Jiajun, there are a total of three seventh-level demon soul generals who have imprinted their own great ways on the flag, making the soul refining flag even more mysterious.
Shen Mo also put the Soul Refining Flag into his dantian for the first time since he refined it...
Originally, the Soul Refining Banner was an evil weapon, not as gentle and righteous as the righteous magical weapon;
Even if he re-determined the order of the demon soul generals within the banner and gave the top demon soul generals in the first sequence some magical weapon authority to suppress other demon soul generals and share the backlash power with them, he still could not completely eliminate the evil banner. Backlash.
In the past, when Shen Mo used the Soul Refining Flag, he also took precautions against it, lest he could not suppress the backlash and harm himself. He never thought of it.
By incorporating this flag into the Dantian!
But now, as the demon soul in the banner has become more and more advanced in the "Selfless Demon Sutra" skills and the backlash is decreasing day by day, he no longer has too many worries. After collecting the soul refining banner in his Dantian, he can use the breakthrough The opportunity once again strengthened the connection with this rare treasure.
In an instant, Shen Mo felt as if he had transformed into a supreme being who controlled the inner demons of trillions of immortal cultivators;
With just a thought, the seventh-level demon soul general Banzhi Jiajun and other demon soul generals who have practiced the "Selfless Demon Sutra" can be transformed into immortals, including human monks, evil cultivators, aliens, demons, ghosts, and even remnants of the old era. For this generation, the flaw in the Tao heart manifests itself, transforming into a body, mind, and demon, and devouring everything including their physical body, soul, lifespan, and even their own Tao fruits to strengthen themselves!
Of course, this is just a hunch.
The Immortal Way has not yet been perfected, and the Soul Refining Flag has not yet grown into a great treasure.
In addition to being shackles of the Immortal Dao and not being allowed from its roots, the Soul Refining Banner's current level of power also makes it impossible to successfully perform such mysterious and unpredictable methods.
And just when he withdrew from the enlightenment of breaking through the realm, he found that the calamity aura in his body became more and more intense. The vast calamity aura that he felt through his own calamity aura covering the entire universe became heavier, and both of them were dead. They are so entangled that it is impossible to resolve them.
In addition, all the immortal cultivators in the Shituo Mountain Range, including the true immortals, all have calamity energy sprouting in their bodies, rising and integrating into the solar terms of heaven and earth, which seems a bit shocking!
As if disturbed by Shen Mo's calamity, the fourteen demon caves that descended on the Shituo Mountains also underwent completely new changes.
Every demon cave is completely opened, and billions of heavenly demons pour out of it like a tide... If the demon cave is compared to a big river, and the demons are compared to river water, previously they only dug a canal, but now they have dug out a dam, and with ten Rushing to the outside world at a hundred times faster.
The entire battlefield was boiling. A large number of powerful immortals who went into battle saw that the situation was not right, and moved back to Wulong Mountain through the imitation Taihua Mirror set up.
When the speed was a little slower, he was directly overwhelmed by the endless demonic shadows, not even a bone was left!
As the immortal cultivators retreated to Wulong Mountain one after another, the Earth Yuan Jue Formation once again reduced its defense, using formation techniques to protect the seventy-two immortal mountains.
Fairy Yuquan, Taoist Priest Jinguang, Xuanyuan Di, Kong Ce, Tai Ao Tianhao, Jiuli Mingzhu, etc., the thirty-seven true immortals who were stationed at the eye of the Immortal Mountain Formation, all increased their power against the Earth Yuan Jue Formation. The blessing enhances the power of the formation.
The demonic energy surged crazily, and the auras of the billions of heavenly demons, regardless of their level of realm, were all connected together, turning into fourteen demonic waves that rushed towards the Wulong Mountain, Lingxi Mountain, Hulu Mountain and other fairy mountain formations with mighty force.
The demon at the front was like a raging wave crashing against the shore. It hit the fairy mountain that had been blessed by the formation and was instantly smashed into powder. However, the demon at the rear continued to move forward and continued to set off huge waves. In a short period of time, there were hundreds of millions of people. When the Heavenly Demon fell, traces of the Heavenly Demon's origin escaped and gradually gathered into a vast ocean of demonic origin!
"Still the same as before..."
Fairy Yuquan, Taoist Priest Jinguang and others have competed with the great demon Chun Yangzi and know the path of the seventh-level demon in the devil's cave.
They drove hundreds of millions of heavenly demons to attack the Immortal Mountain Formation Eye in order to weaken the power of the formation to the greatest extent.
In addition, the fallen demons are not wasted. The escaped demons will gradually form a sea of demon sources, which can pollute this world into a demon realm in a very short time, making it easier for the seventh-level demons to take action, and can also pollute the world where the Earth Yuan Jue Formation is located. , cutting off most of its spiritual power sources.
After quickly communicating with Shen Mo with his spiritual mind, Taoist Priest Jin Guang took over most of the control authority of the Earth Yuan Jue Formation.
Under his control, the powerful true immortals continued to pour the magic power of the immortal source into the formation. While protecting the key hub of the formation, the formation began to refine the endless source of demons, converting part of the power into the formation. The power of law strengthens defense, killing, refining and many other powers!
Shen Mo stood above Wulong Mountain, his five senses locked on the fourteen demon caves, secretly guarding against the seventh-order great demons hiding in them.
But he couldn't help but feel a bit of heartache in his heart. He had worked hard for hundreds of years to build up such a huge foundation. After this battle, whether it was Wulong Mountain or other
With the seventy-one fairy mountains that serve as the formation's eyes, the level of spiritual veins and earth veins will inevitably drop by one level. At that time, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will become much thinner than it is now, and various resources and products will be much less.
He only hopes that when he fights with the seventh-level great demon, the earth element formation can protect this world;
If the Shituo Mountain Range turns into a magical land like the western part of Dongjie Continent, and Wulong Mountain and other fairy mountains all collapse and disintegrate, he will have to spend a lot of time and energy looking for a new mountain gate!
To the surprise of Shen Mo, Fairy Yuquan and others, the seventh-order great demons in the demon cave, except for joining forces to fight against the Earth Yuan Jue Formation, never came out of the demon cave until the last batch of demons poured out of the demon cave like a tide. , completely submerging the entire Shituo Mountain Range.
