Chapter 2680 The Demon Who Breaks Boundaries
"According to ancient texts, when the Earthly Demon Palace was destroyed, none of the Nine Heavens of Demonic Realm survived. Some were overrun by the demonic tide, while others lost contact with the outside world. Almost all the disciples of the Earthly Demon Palace within their grotto-heavens were wiped out. This also led to the loss of many important inheritances of the Earthly Demon Palace. The cultivation techniques and secret arts compiled by later generations were all unearthed from the ruins of the Earthly Demon Palace..."
While Luo Luo Demon Lord and Qin Sang joined forces to deal with the demon in front of them, Luo Luo Demon Lord also used telepathy to tell him about Yuan Zaitian's origins.
"Everyone believes that the Nine Heavens of Demonic Heaven were destroyed by the demonic tide long ago!"
His tone was full of emotion; he never expected to be able to see this grotto-heaven that only existed in ancient books.
The origins of this grotto-heaven are even more remarkable than expected. Given the strength of the Earthly Demon Palace back then, it controlled countless grotto-heavens and blessed lands. Yuan Zaitian's ability to rank among the Nine Heavens of Demons demonstrates just how important his position was.
Logically speaking, finding the Nine Heavens of the Earthly Demon Palace would undoubtedly be a cause for celebration.
There may be some legacy left by the Earthly Demon Palace here. If they can obtain the Earthly Demon Palace's demon-refining secrets or demon-suppressing treasures, their chances of leaving the Northern Demon Realm will be much greater.
But this place has long since become a hellish prison, and all they've seen along the way are ruins. How much can they possibly have left?
And who imprisoned these demons here?
Despite still having many questions, their interest grew greatly after confirming that this was Yuanzai Heaven, one of the Nine Heavens of Demonic Realm.
'Huff! Huff!'
Demonic energy roared all around.
The Six Desires Demon tried to pull them into the Demonic Realm, but after a series of battles, the two had accumulated rich experience and were able to handle the Six Desires Demon, which was only at the early stage of the Fusion Realm, with ease.
After a fierce battle, the Six Desires Demon finally perished under the sword.
Two figures appeared in the void. Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo descended from the sky and landed in front of the broken monument, looking around at the ruins.
Most of the broken stele is buried underground; it's unclear whether it was originally there or was dumped there by someone.
Disappointingly, apart from the broken monument, this cage is not much different from other places, and it is also severely damaged.
In such a short time, they have already killed four Six Desires Demons, which is unimaginable elsewhere.
The reason why the Demon Lord Luo Luo had not achieved such a remarkable record despite fighting on the front lines of the demonic tide for many years was largely due to the fact that these demons could only fight alone and had no followers by their side.
At this moment, Qin Sang drew upon the primordial energy of heaven and earth, transforming it into a cloud of smoke in front of her, attracting the attention of the Demon Lord Luo Luo.
Four scenes materialized in the smoke and clouds, each depicting one of the four cages they had passed through.
The four clouds were filled with undulating mountainous terrain. Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo tried to piece them together, but ultimately failed.
“These four cages are not connected; the internal space of Yuan Zaitian has been disrupted,” Qin Sang said in a deep voice.
Because of the limited information, they tried to deduce the situation multiple times but couldn't discern any pattern. Without a pattern, they couldn't determine whether they were on the periphery or the core of Yuan Zaitian.
At this point, Demon Lord Luoluo stopped mentioning leaving. Since it was Yuanzaitian, he had to find out the secrets of this place before he could be satisfied.
The two exchanged a glance, and without hesitation, continued their search for the next cage!
As time went by, they also figured out some of the intricacies of the Imperial Rainbow Magical Index. Although it was not enough for them to fully comprehend the entire index, it was very helpful in finding the 'Gate of Light'.
Before long, they found the entrance to the next cage and slipped inside.
"Early stage of fusion!"
Upon confirming the strength of the Six Desires Demon imprisoned in the cage, the two immediately relaxed, even distracted by searching for clues related to Yuan Zaitian while dealing with the demon.
Two domains opened, with the Thunder Beast Warriors leading the charge, charging through the Heavenly Demon Realm with unstoppable force.
The Six Desires Demon could only watch helplessly as the demons perished one after another, letting out furious demonic howls, yet it was powerless to do anything about them.
Whether they attacked head-on or tried to distract them, they were all unsuccessful; the two men's defenses were as solid as an impregnable fortress.
Logically speaking, as a demon of the six desires, if it were to target a cultivator of the same level, given enough time, it would surely be able to find an opportunity to strike, and demons are known for their terrifying patience. However, when the two sides clashed head-on in a life-or-death battle, this demon exposed its weaknesses.
Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo were skilled at their work. They first cleared away the torrent of Heavenly Demons and broke through the Heavenly Demon Realm. Then they focused on dealing with the true form of the Six Desires Heavenly Demon.
Just as the demonic energy was thinning and the Heavenly Demon Realm was on the verge of collapse, all the Heavenly Demons in the realm suddenly stopped attacking, made strange moves, looked up at the sky, and let out a demonic howl in unison.
The howl wasn't piercing, but it was more eerie than any demonic howl I'd heard before, and it was likely a unique supernatural power of this celestial demon.
Qin Sang didn't care much, but Demon Lord Luo Luo dared not underestimate him. He quickly focused his mind to resist the demonic sound attack, and his offensive slowed down.
Immediately afterwards, the two suddenly realized that something was wrong, and Qin Sang even sensed a warning sign.
"Kill it!"
Qin Sang's expression changed slightly. Although she didn't know the reason, she was certain that the Six Desires Demon's actions were extremely disadvantageous to them!
'Whoosh! Whoosh!'
The Demon-Illuminating Mirror appeared, and the precious mirror hung high, easily revealing the true form of the Six Desires Heavenly Demon in the void.
The Six Desires Demon had previously tried to corrupt them and had already suffered a loss and been severely injured. Now, its demonic shadow was flickering and it was imprisoned by the two beams of mirror light, yet it did not struggle at all.
'Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!'
All the demons simultaneously self-destructed, turning into wisps of demonic smoke.
With Qin Sang's fierce shout, a terrifying killing intent erupted on the battlefield. The "Fundamental Spell of Demon Refining," the Sun and Moon Twin Swords, the Thunder Spear, and the Azure Dragon all attacked the Demon Shadow without reservation.
Just as the demonic shadow was about to be overwhelmed by various supernatural powers, this strike was enough to kill it on the spot!
Unexpectedly, the Six Desires Demon ignored it, gathering demonic smoke under the mirror light, and finally transforming it into a huge demonic face. The demonic face faced the sky, with its mouth wide open, like a black hole, from which a wild roar came out.
"Roar!"
The demonic roar was earth-shattering, and the entire void trembled.
Even more astonishingly, visible ripples appeared in the darkness above the demon's face, spreading out like concentric circles of water.
The Imperial Rainbow Magic Index was shaken by it!
Qin Sang and Luo Luo Demon Lord, who had slain four Six Desires Heavenly Demons in succession, were seeing for the first time that a Heavenly Demon could shake the Emperor Rainbow Demonic Restriction. Previously, Heavenly Demons had avoided them like the plague.
The dark sky was in turmoil. The Imperial Rainbow Demon Restriction was indeed shaken, but it was not entirely due to the power of the Six Desires Demon. There was an even more powerful force outside that was impacting the Demon Restriction.
This celestial demon is more like a guide and accomplice; it is summoning a more powerful being and helping that being enter!
Stop him!
At this moment, Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo attacked simultaneously, but there was no fear on their faces as they relentlessly let out long howls.
Just as the attack was about to strike, the demonic howl suddenly became several times stronger. It was clearly a combination of two demonic howls, one of which was a demonic face, and the other was actually from the Emperor Rainbow Demonic Forbidden Zone!
In an instant, the demonic intent was terrifying.
Qin Sang knew something was wrong. The demonic intent contained in this demonic howl was even more turbulent than that of the previous mid-stage Fusion Heavenly Demon. The one about to break through the barrier was actually a late-stage Fusion Six Desires Heavenly Demon!
At the same time, Qin Sang noticed that Luo Luo Demon Lord seemed a little strange. A dark glint suddenly flashed in his eyes, and his attack on the Azure Dragon with the demon face slowed down.
"kill!"
Qin Sang roared angrily.
With the protection of the Jade Buddha, he was not affected by the demonic intent. The Sun and Moon Swords burst forth with incomparably brilliant spiritual light, aimed at the demon's brow, and resolutely slashed down!
'puff! '
The sword light pierced through the demon's face, leaving a long sword mark from his brow to his chin.
The Thunder Beast Guard arrived with its spear raised, plunging it directly into the gaping maw of the demonic face. The lightning energy erupted, tearing the already split demonic face apart into pieces.
The Demon Lord Luo Luo seemed to realize what was happening as well. The Azure Dragon roared and swallowed the fragment of the demon face in one gulp.
Fortunately, Qin Sang was not affected by the demonic intent and finally killed the Six Desires Demon, but the demonic howl still did not stop.
The two looked up at the sky and saw the black sky trembling violently, with a crack appearing in the middle of the sky.
The sky has cracked!
A demonic hand suddenly pierced through the crack, forcefully grabbing the sky, as if trying to forcibly tear apart the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction. At the same time, an even more surging demonic intent swept in.
'Boom!'
A burst of colorful lightning erupted high in the sky.
The seemingly beautiful scene concealed a terrifying killing intent, yet that demonic hand remained firmly planted between the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction and its attacks, showing no sign of retreat.
The two men's expressions changed drastically. It was too late to kill the Six Desires Demon. They could no longer stop it from entering the realm. The demonic intent coming from the sky made them tremble with fear.
"retreat!"
The two made a decision immediately.
They had long anticipated how to deal with the Six Desires Demon in the late stage of the Fusion Realm, but they had not expected this situation.
In fact, although they were able to kill demons in the middle stage of the Fusion Realm, they did not have a complete grasp on how to deal with demons in the late stage of the Fusion Realm, and the best course of action was to avoid them.
Their original plan was to hunt down the weaker demons first, and then gradually take their own course. But as expected, nothing in this world is absolute; even the seemingly impenetrable cage was breached by these demons.
Moreover, the Demon Lord Luo Luo's condition was somewhat off, and Qin Sang dared not fight alongside a companion who might 'betray' her at any moment.
The 'entrance' opened, and fortunately, the demon's forced entry into the realm did not cut off their retreat. The two of them escaped back to the previous cage one after the other.
The moment the entrance closed, an angry demonic howl echoed through the air. The Six Desires Demon finally broke through the barrier and entered, but it was too late and could only watch helplessly as they escaped.
The shock had barely subsided.
Qin Sang stared at the door with a solemn expression, wary of the demon coming after them.
As soon as the Demon Lord Luo Luo returned, he couldn't wait to sit down cross-legged and enter a meditative state. The pearl in his Purple Mansion shone brightly, its light like flowing water, washing over his mind again and again.
After waiting for a while, the black sky remained unchanged. It seemed that the demon was still restrained by the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction and could not move freely among these cages.
Qin Sang felt a little relieved and looked at Luo Luo Demon Lord. His condition was obviously abnormal, but he had won almost all the previous battles. When did he fall for the attack?
"Shut up!"
The Demon Lord Luo Luo exhaled a breath of turbid air and slowly awoke.
Sensing Qin Sang's concerned gaze, he gave a wry smile and said with shame, "I underestimated these demons! Since falling into the Northern Demon Realm, I've remained relatively calm, but in truth, I've been somewhat uneasy, especially after losing the Broken Heaven Blood Jade. This is only natural, yet these demons took advantage of my vulnerability and I almost fell for their tricks..."
The Heavenly Demon is most adept at exploiting the vulnerabilities of the human heart. As long as a demonic thought is planted, or even a barely perceptible shadow is left behind, it can gradually grow stronger and eventually become a demonic seed.
Surrounded by demons and with no idea where they would end up, both of them were filled with unease. Although Lord Luo Luo also possessed many treasures to defend against the heavenly demons, none of them were as valuable as the Jade Buddha.
If they had only encountered one Six Desires Demon, it would have been no cause for concern; Lord Luoluo Demon Lord could have eliminated it by reflecting on his own actions. However, after several major battles, Lord Luoluo Demon Lord's mental fluctuations were unknowingly exploited by the demon, almost developing into demonic thoughts, until they were detonated by the demon in the late stage of the Fusion Realm.
This is what makes the Heavenly Demon so terrifying: as long as a cultivator's mind has a flaw, there is no perfect defense.
"I never imagined that your character is far superior to mine!" Demon Lord Luo Luo exclaimed, admiring Qin Sang even more.
Qin Sang's dual Dharma Domains made him feel inferior. He thought that after being tempered by the demonic tide, his temperament would definitely surpass Qin Sang's. Unexpectedly, Qin Sang was completely unharmed and could even protect him, while he almost made a big mistake.
In terms of temperament, Qin Sang might not be able to surpass Luo Luo Demon Lord, otherwise she wouldn't have been 'stunned' for a moment after getting rid of the Heavenly Demon. Of course, the matter of the Jade Buddha is not something to be told to outsiders, so Qin Sang accepted it calmly.
“This demon did not pursue us,” Qin Sang looked up at the sky, paused, and said, “Fellow Daoist should have some guesses about the situation here.”
The Demon Lord Luo Luo looked grave and nodded, saying, "If it's as you and I guessed, then if we kill a few more Six Desires Demons, we should be able to see part of the truth."
"hope so!"
Qin Sang sighed, "But there may be unforeseen changes. What do you think, fellow Daoist?"
Their biggest fear is that their escape route will be suddenly cut off, although that hasn't happened yet.
The Demon Lord Luo Luo's expression shifted, and he said in a deep voice, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained!"
Qin Sang shared the same sentiment. Since they had already fallen into the Northern Demon Realm, how much worse could the situation get? Don't be fooled by their slaying of five demons; that would have been virtually impossible outside of Yuanzai Heaven.
If things are as they suspect, they might be able to find their way back to Yuanzaitian.
Knowing that there was a demon in the late stage of the Fusion Realm on the other side, they avoided it, changed direction, and searched for another cage.
After searching, they found a new entrance and acted swiftly and decisively when they vanquished the demon, giving it no chance to summon its lord.
Then they cleared two more cages and killed two extraterrestrial demons.
When the last extraterrestrial demon fell before them, Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo suddenly sensed something and appeared in the void, raising their heads.
"It's finally here!"
The thought flashed through their minds simultaneously.
They saw a colorful spiritual light shimmering in the sky, but unlike when the demon broke through the boundary, the spiritual light was gentle and warm, the power of the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction itself, without any demonic intent or threat.
The spiritual light gradually converged towards the center, and finally a fairy child in colorful clothes emerged from the light, stepped out of the magic barrier, looked at them from afar, and descended on a cloud.
