A chillingughter echoed through the dim expanse of the subterranean cavern as a scarlet radiance gradually suffused the darkness, revealing the figure of a tall, imposing man.
This man, distinguished by a crown of bloody hair and aplexion as pale as moonlight, possessed eyes that were demonically captivating.
His identity was none other than Long Tianlu!
The Nether Demon n was a diverse congregation, split into myriad branches.
Some of its members bore the visage of grotesque monstrosities, while others bore uncanny resemnce to ordinary human beings.
Long Tianlu was of thetter group.
"Hehehe!" Long Tianlu''s savageughter reverberated throughout the space, the scarlet aura surrounding him intensifying until it bathed the entire cavern in its ominous light.
In his wake, a multitude of demonic cultivators prostrated themselves in subservience.
The majority of these demonic cultivators were females, interspersed with a handful of males. Each was marked by the tell-tale crimson hair.
...
"The moment has arrived. Rise, my brethren!" Within the half-shut eyes of Long Tianlu, a dangerously icy glint abruptly shed.
A horrifying surge of power, an aura that far outstripped those within the ordinary Dao Pce realm, erupted with unparalleled force.
Boom!
Instantaneously, the terrain of this subterranean expanse bulged upwards.
The crust of the earth split and heaved, undting like a monstrous wave.
A column of dark red light, mighty and awe-inspiring, pierced the heavens!
Amanding voice bellowed, "Annihte them!"
"Show no mercy to the resistors!"
"im dominion over all beings in this continent!"
One after another, the demonic cultivators swirled within the ominous crimson energy pir, their expressions fierce, charging unyieldingly toward the sacred grounds of the Purple Heaven Holy Land!
Lastly, Long Tianlu emerged from the heart of the crimson energy column, casting frigid, scornful looks upon the expanse of the Purple Heaven Holy Land.
In his gaze, this Purple Heaven Holy Land was no more significant than a brittle bubble!
"So, they''ve finally emerged! The Nether Demon n!" Jiang Chen''s gaze was riveted upon the towering column of dark red energy, his attention swiftly drawn to Long Tianlu and his demonicpatriots.
"It''s the Nether Soul Demon n!" Nangong Wan''s voice echoed in Jiang Chen''s Sea of Consciousness, "A demon n naturally adept in the art of soul attacks and seduction, yet their other offensive capabilities are not to be underestimated whenpared to other ns of the Demon Race."
Shangguan Ning added, "Even within the ranks of the Demon Race, the Nether Soul Demon n is considered elite, with members reaching the realm of Inquiring Journey upon maturity. Those blessed with superior aptitude may even ascend to the Transcendence realm!"
"The brain of a Nether Soul Demon n member forms a soul core, brimming with extraordinarily pure soul force. With the application of a unique technique, it can be harnessed to substantially augment one''s soul without any adverse effects!"
"The Nether Soul Demon n''s soul attack methods are indeed formidable, but they harbor a critical vulnerability."
"Located at the base of their neck is a ruby-like Nether Soul Crystal. Should it be destroyed or extracted, the Nether Soul Demon n member will plummet into a state of near-death."
The voices of Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning took turns, providing Jiang Chen with aprehensive understanding of the Nether Soul Demon n.
Jiang Chen mused internally, ''The Nether Soul Demon n, huh?''
''So, taking them down yields these ''Nether Soul Crystals''...''
''This was meant to be Fang Yuan''s jackpot!''
''Armed with these crystals, the recovery of Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning could be elerated. Plus, Fang Yuan''s soul would also see remarkable amplification. The benefits are numerous.''
''But now, these enticing opportunities lie right before me. How delightful!''
A subtle smile gradually unfurled on Jiang Chen''s lips as he scrutinized the Nether Soul Demon n through his Viin''s Eye.
Only the final Nether Soul Demon n member to appear, wielding a power that exceeded themon Dao Pce realm, revealed his statistics.
[Name: Long Tianlu
Realm: Late-stage Dao Pce (Middle-stage Transcendence)
Status: Passerby
Fate Value: 3234]
Jiang Chen pondered, ''This Long Tianlu is truly exceptional, his authentic realm is actually the Transcendence realm!''
''It seems he incurred severe injuries while traversing the Bottomless Abyss, resulting in a downturn in his realm.''
''Well, he was initially destined to be a supporting character overshadowed by Fang Yuan, but now that I have ended Fang Yuan, he''s be a mere passerby.''
Such musings coursed through Jiang Chen''s mind as he turned, lifting his gaze skyward.
A figure exuding an aura of divine elegance and profound wisdom gradually ascended, his grey robe rustling as it danced with the wind.
He was none other than one of the Supreme Elders, Mo Yu!
"Supreme Elder Mo Yu, the aggressors hail from the Nether Demon n of the Demon Race.
This n, also known as the Nether Soul Demon n, excels in soul assaults." Jiang Chen swiftly transmitted his thoughts to Mo Yu using his divine sense, "Furthermore, their most formidable member is a fallen Transcendence realm individual, exercise extreme caution!"
Without dy, he shared the vulnerabilities of the Nether Soul Demon n with Mo Yu.
"Understood!" Mo Yu responded with a grave nod.
Immediately, he forwarded this information to a group of cultivators at the Dao Comprehension realm, and also alerted those at the Inquiring Journey realm.
In the blink of an eye, every cultivator within the Holy Land was privy to the intelligence regarding the Nether Soul Demon n.
Cultivators equipped with soul-protective measures instantly stepped up, forming sessive rings of defense, safeguarding the remaining cultivators as theyunched their offensive!
And then, with a thunderous boom, amid the vast horde of corrupted demonic beasts, members of the Nether Soul Demon n, swift as wraiths, charged straight to the forefront of the formation.
"Soul Thorn!" Each member of the Nether Soul Demon n swiftlyunched a soul assault, aiming directly at the cultivators strategically positioned at the heart of the formation!
Once these central cultivators were vanquished, the defensive prowess of the formation would dramatically dwindle, inevitably opening a breach for the relentless onught of the demonic beast tide.
However, under Jiang Chen''s advisement, the disciples of the Holy Land had already instituted protective measures against such soul attacks.
The members of the Nether Soul Demon n were undeniably formidable, with their weakest ranking at the Heavenly Origin realm.
Nevertheless, the formation of the Purple Heaven Holy Land inherently possessed certain divine sense protection capabilities, capable of diminishing the impact of soul attacks.
Among the Holy Land cultivators, tens of thousands were proficient in methods of soul protection.
Therefore, despite the generally inferior cultivation base of the Holy Land cultivators, they managed to endure the Nether Soul Demon n''s initial wave of soul assaults when they rallied their full strength.
Naturally, the disciples of the Holy Land had to pay a steep price.
Some disciples with lower cultivation bases sustained critical injuries, mental impairments, and some were even struck dead on the spot.
Suddenly, a thunderous detonation rent the air.
Long Tianlu could be seen soaring upwards, his figure shrouded by thick, dark clouds. They swirled and morphed around him, manifesting a colossal, peak-like silhouette in ck.
"Perish!!" From his elevated position, Long Tianlu bellowed as he gathered his soul power and unleashed a savage Soul Thorn attack!
The breadth of this assault epassed a significant area of the Holy Land''s formation!
Should he seed, a vast number of disciples would undoubtedly perish instantly.
"Divine Azure Soul Fire!" Just in the nick of time, Mo Yu initiated his counterattack. His powerful soul force metamorphosed into a dazzling azure light, shimmering resplendently.
However, in the very next moment, Mo Yu''s expression altered, hinting at a trace of pain in his eyes.
Long Tianlu was undeniably formidable, specializing in soul assaults. In this domain, Mo Yu was not his equal!
Yet, despite the pain, Mo Yu was resilient!
He wouldn''t challenge the enemy''s strength with his own weakness.
"Dark Star Sky Cleaving Sword!" The Purple Heaven Immortal Martial Sword was drawn, its icy gleam glinting. Mo Yu vanished from his original position instantaneously, weaving through the grand formation to engage Long Tianlu!
"What! An immortal sword!" Long Tianlu''s expression shifted, his eyes awash with astonishment, he promptly acted to deflect Mo Yu''s attack.
In the following moment, the two became entangled in a fiercebat!
''It''s my time to act!'' A smirk tugged at the corner of Jiang Chen''s mouth. With a single mentalmand, he pushed the Heavenly Demon Hidden Heart Ring to its utmost capacity.
Suddenly, his figurepletely vanished, leaving no trace to the naked eye.
In the next heartbeat, outside the grand formation, a sword light mysteriously materialized at the nape of a Dao Comprehension realm Nether Soul Demon n member.
sh!
Blood spurted, and a red crystal embedded with flesh was propelled high into the air.
This Nether Soul Demon n member trembled violently, his eyes wide open in horror, brimming with despair.
But he didn''t even have the opportunity to utter a scream before his head tumbled to the ground!
A Dao Comprehension Realm Nether Soul Demon n member had silently met his end at Jiang Chen''s hands.
