Xiang Xueer frowned as she looked at the formed Hexagram. Suddenly, behind her, the Azure Wind Sword flew out, spinning in the air a few times before transforming into its true form. A man in his fifties appeared, thin and wearing a gray robe, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, his long face darkened as he scolded Xiang Xueer: "What’s wrong with you, girl? I’ve already warned you not to touch that barrier, and look what you did—you activated the curse early and brought about this apocalypse a day sooner!"
Huh? Xiang Xueer felt a headache coming on. She was just anxious about the old man, Qingfeng Ancestor, who had been shouting earlier: "I can’t understand what he’s saying! Please, could you have said something when you first came out? It’s too late to say anything now!"
After Xiang Xueer finished speaking, the Azure Wind Sword Ancestor snapped back: "Do you think we can appear whenever we want? Last time we resisted the Demon Lord, we five set up a barrier and were injured, so we couldn’t show up for a long time."
So that’s why there hadn’t been any response from the Five Divine Artifacts for so long. The Azure Wind Sword Ancestor looked up at the dark sky, where the sounds of beasts killing each other echoed: "It’s too late; everything has begun. We must ignite the Light of the Sun and Moon on the Demon Prison Tower!"
When it came to the Demon Prison Tower, Ling Zhu looked at everyone apologetically: "I’m sorry, Azure Wind Sword Ancestor, but the Demon Prison Tower has already been destroyed!"
Destroyed? The Azure Wind Sword Ancestor turned to look at the mountain opposite them. Indeed, what used to be a black giant tower had turned into a pile of rubble. He sneered: "Who told you that the Demon Prison Tower is just that pile of ruins?"
"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Xiang Xueer looked at him in confusion. He clasped his hands behind his back and squinted at the other four divine artifacts before shouting: "Everyone, it’s our time to shine! Stop hiding and come out!"
Four colorful lights appeared one after another. Not only did the Azure Wind Sword Ancestor emerge, but also the ancestors of Fuxi Qin, Kongtong Seal, Luring Demon Pot, and Shennong Ding began to reveal themselves.
This was the first time Xiang Xueer saw the ancestor of Shennong Ding, who surprisingly appeared to be a boy about twelve or thirteen years old. He was small and slender with delicate features, sporting a round topknot that made him look like he had a pickled vegetable hairstyle!
Lian Cheng Xue stared at Shennong Ancestor for quite some time: "No way! I always thought such a heavy Shennong Ding would belong to a burly man; I didn’t expect it to be a little kid!"
"You’re the one who looks like a vegetable!" The Shennong Ding Ancestor suddenly looked displeased, glaring with his flickering blue eyes and angrily retorting. Despite his small stature, he certainly had a big temper.
"We already know most of what’s going on!" The Fat Ancestor turned to face Xiang Xueer, patting her shoulder from behind: "Don’t worry; what you see as the Demon Prison Tower is just the surface. Even the Demon Lord doesn’t know that the real Demon Prison Tower is actually this Sky Beyond Mountain!
“Is Sky Beyond Mountain really the true Demon Prison Tower?” Xiang Xueer widened her eyes in disbelief as she looked at the towering peak. In the end, Ling Zhu felt guilty for a long time, realizing that what was destroyed was merely a decoration. However, even if it was just a decoration, it had managed to trap the Demon Lord inside for over a hundred years. What exactly is this mountain?
“To talk about the origins of Sky Beyond Mountain, we must start from Nuwa mending the sky. Back then, the Public Worker crashed into Buzhou Mountain, resulting in Heaven and Earth Shatter. Nuwa used spiritual stones to mend the sky, and thus this massive stone that fell into the human realm became a mountain. Thousands of years have passed, and very few people know the origin of this mountain. It wasn't until later that the Demon Lord was trapped in a tower; in fact, it was merely the true self using a demon trapping array and a thousand years of cultivation to confine that Demon Dragon!” Azure Wind Sword Ancestor slowly finished speaking and turned to look at Xiang Xueer: “We will use the spiritual energy of Sky Beyond Mountain to ignite the Light of the Sun and Moon, which will temporarily hold back the Demon Lord's rampaging Million Demons. However, there is something even more important that you all need to do!”
Xiang Xueer frowned upon hearing this and quickly asked, “What’s more important? Please tell us what it is!”
Azure Wind Sword Ancestor took a deep breath, his expression becoming even more serious: “This Demon Lord is an ancient Demon Dragon, who has cultivated an immortal body. Therefore, to kill him, we must use the sharpest Rhinoceros Horn dipped in Black Dog Blood to be able to slay him!”
Upon hearing about Rhinoceros Horn and Black Dog Blood, a smile immediately appeared on Xiang Xueer's face. She patted her chest: “This is simple; leave it to us! We will go find them right away!”
“Good!” Azure Wind Sword Ancestor nodded, and the Five Divine Artifacts flew towards the five directions of Sky Beyond Mountain. They clasped their hands together, and immediately colorful ripples appeared on their palms. The five of them pointed their hands towards the sky, and five beams of light shot up into the clouds, breaking through the black clouds and forming five pillars standing tall around.
In an instant, the entire Sky Beyond Mountain began to shake violently. The black clouds above started to churn, gradually revealing light. The light spiraled in the air for a few circles before suddenly expanding in all directions.
The sun gradually returned to its original form, astonishing the three people who widened their eyes in amazement. How impressive! It turns out that this Light of the Sun and Moon can pierce through darkness; everything was going so smoothly. A hopeful smile appeared on Xiang Xueer's face.
In the sky opposite them, a mass of black mist was rapidly flying towards them. Vaguely, Xiang Xueer caught a whiff of that familiar scent and suddenly screamed in horror: “Be careful!”
Before she could finish her warning, the Demon Lord burst out from the black clouds, extending his sharp claws towards Ancestor of the Demon Refining Pot. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and dodged the Demon Lord's attack; the two instantly engaged in fierce combat.
As a result, one corner of their formation was missing, causing what was once a bright sky to darken significantly. Xiang Xueer felt alarmed: “Oh no! Fat Master, stop! I’ll come help you right away!”
“Stop!” The Demon Lord glared angrily at the three beside him: “Dead Girl, you are truly despicable for destroying my altar! You’ve caused this Hexagram to align prematurely. If you dare take another step closer, I will ensure your lover’s soul is shattered.”
Xiang Xueer's feet suddenly stopped. Li Yunyang and Lan Ran Qingtian's souls were still in her hands. This Demon Lord was ruthless, despicable, and if she used the two as bargaining chips, even if she helped, it would only hinder her efforts and might even make things worse.
What to do? Looking at the broken barrier, Xiang Xueer felt as restless as a cat's paw, not knowing what to do. Suddenly, at that moment, the Azure Wind Sword Ancestor gestured to her, and she remembered that she had something more important to attend to.
The Fat Ancestor tried to hold back the Demon Lord and deliberately shouted, "Girl, don’t worry about me; go do what you dare to do!"
Yes, she almost forgot; she still needed to find Rhinoceros Horn and Black Dog Blood. Otherwise, even if they managed to subdue this Demon Lord, they wouldn't be able to kill him completely. She glanced at Lian Cheng Xue and Ling Zhu; the three nodded and quickly turned to leave the celestial realm, rushing down the mountain.
"What’s going on with this Dead Girl? Is there some trickery involved?" If this woman followed her usual character, she would definitely engage in a battle of wits with him. However, he didn't expect her to turn around and flee; there must be some reason behind it.
The Hexagram forming a line ahead was unexpected. At this moment, the Wolf King was gathering various demons for a large-scale attack in the human realm. Darkness enveloped the human world, and cries of despair echoed endlessly.
Meanwhile, other Exorcist Stations and various experts from Saint Ten had received the eagle dispatch from Feng Qingyang. In order to resist the demons and protect the people, chaos ensued as various measures were hastily implemented. All Exorcists, regardless of age or gender, began to take action spontaneously to encircle the human realm.
A century later, a brutal slaughter between humans and demons reemerged. Wherever people went, corpses lay scattered across the fields, torn flesh strewn about haphazardly. It had become impossible to distinguish whether the remains belonged to humans or demons.
