Chapter 56: Devil's Head

  (The second update is sent, asking for a recommendation vote! There will be a third update tonight!)

  Outside of Demon Valley is the true underground demon prison.

  No one knows how many layers there are in the underground demon prison. Even the elders of the three major underground sects have only explored up to the ninth layer.

  As for what was on the ninth floor, all the old men who came out were silent and didn't speak.

  "Red Soul Pearl!"

  After walking a few steps, the cloud couldn't help but stop in front of a meditating cultivator. In front of him were dozens of thumb-sized red beads that shone brightly, each one seemingly wrapped in a crimson aura, emitting an air that stirred the soul and attracted Qi Tian's gaze.

  "One Infernal Soul Orb, one low-grade Spirit Stone for one bead."

  That person's body had a very heavy aura of evil, almost condensing into a layer of gray mist. His voice was also extremely cold and hard. With just one glance at the two of them, he made their hearts tremble slightly.

  This gaze that killed its way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood was extraordinary, with a strong sword intent that could shake his mind.

  A first-class Crimson Devil, a type of devil head, feeds on fresh blood. Its strength is only equivalent to that of a 108th-level cultivator who has achieved the Round of Perfection. One low-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for one, which is actually a bit too expensive.

  Without further delay, the two of them arrived at a peripheral area of Zhenmo Valley, where a layer of milky white divine light enveloped the entire valley. This divine light was vast and brilliant, like sheep's milk white jade, exuding an aura of grandeur and harmony.

  At this moment, Qitian's expression changed slightly, and the Sheli in his dantian qihai was slightly warm. The six fruits taken from the ugly tree also trembled at the same time.

  When he first left the Yama Temple, Qi Tian discovered that the six black fruits had not disappeared. Unfortunately, when he later went to the Scripture Pavilion to read various classics and his predecessors' notes, he still couldn't understand what these six fruits were, but they continued to nourish in his dantian qihai, suppressed by the sarira.

  At this moment, Yun Fei reached out and gently stroked the milky white divine light, saying: "This divine light is said to be a blessing from the Bodhisattvas of the Western Pure Land of the ancient times. With its protection, the Demonic Valley is at peace, and all demons retreat."

  He nodded and said in a low voice: "Let's go!"

  One step across the divine light, the divine aura had yet to dissipate, and Qi Tian felt an enormous crisis descending upon him.

  Cackle——

  A shrill and mournful howl rose up, thick and heavy blood air rushed forward.

  With a calm mind, the sword embryo trembles, and with a unified heavenly finger, a pre-heavenly sword energy slashes out into the air.

  A four-zhang-long innate sword energy tore through the air, emitting a thunderous sword hum. In an instant, a burst of blood light splashed before his face, and only then did the Buddha's divine light finally dissipate.

  "Red Devil!"

  Yun Fei let out a low cry, and in front of him, on the dark red earth, a head of Chi Mo was suddenly split in two. The scarlet blood plasma was like fire, and it spread out for several dozen feet in all directions.

  Smooth blood skin, a three-inch long crimson horn on the top of its head, a wolf-like skull, and two six-toed feet with sharp claws that shone with cold light - this was the most common demon head in the first layer of the underground demonic prison.

  "So many Red Devils!"

  The sky was a deep, foreboding red, and the land was dotted with ancient mountains of varying sizes. A layer of grey, eerie energy clung to each mountain, and the air was filled with the chilling sounds of wailing spirits and the scraping of teeth that seemed to echo through all of heaven and earth.

  At this time, in front of them, there were dozens of red devils, dozens of red devils dripping with crimson saliva, their red demon eyes gleaming with blood light, staring tightly at the necks of Qi Tian and his companion.

  "This is a slaughterhouse, where only slaughter exists," Qitian said in a low voice. "I somewhat understand why those people would exchange spirit stones for ordinary liquor, but in these six months, the sect has been like this, trying to condense a group of powerful warriors? It's actually so reckless and wasteful."

  "The Yao Xian Gu and the Zi Yue Dong Tian are no exception."

  Yun Fei's face was stern, his brow furrowed. The Purple Bamboo Sword pierced the skull of Chi Mo, and a soul orb wrapped in crimson mist fell into his hand. At the same time, he plucked out Chi Mo's two demonic eyes, killing the demon head. Half a year later, these demonic eyes would become his reliance.

  Caw caw——

  Dozens of Crimson Devils slowly closed in, each step leaving behind a bright red footprint, as if their entire bodies were made of blood plasma. In the distance, Qitian could faintly see the divine light of the artifact, and here, almost every inch of land was filled with the aura of slaughter.

  Recite

  The purple bamboo sword hummed, the majestic life energy surged thoroughly, and the sharp aura burst out from every root of the muscles. In that instant, Qi Tian took a step forward, the purple bamboo sword chopped continuously, like ancient mountains moving, the innate sword energy was contained within, the entire purple bamboo sword seemed to have transformed into a piece of golden jade.

  Pfft——

  Pfft——

  Sharp edges unstoppable, one by one the red devils were split in two, blood gushing out wildly.

  Yun Fei gritted his teeth and also broke into the Red Devil group, unfolding his sword technique. The golden earth double sword energy soared through the air, beheading dozens of Red Devils in an instant.

  The earth was stained with blood, dozens of red devils bleeding, and they actually converged into a river of blood. The bloody air rushed to the sky, and almost at the moment when the killing stopped, there were wailing sounds coming from afar, continuous and pressing the border soon.

  "Not good, retreat!"

  Qitian's expression changed slightly, and the two quickly retracted their magic eyes and Chi Soul Pearl, retreating towards a distant Blood Mountain.

  After the fragrance of incense wafted away, the two stood atop an ancient mound dozens of zhang high, gazing out at a distance of several li. Dense and numerous, there were hundreds or even thousands of Red Devils gathering, greedily sucking up the blood plasma on the ground, their swallowing sounds audible even from afar, despite being separated by several li.

  Yun Fei's face turned ugly. Even if these Red Devils were only equivalent to Dao Jue Yuan Man, with hundreds or thousands of them, it would be enough to make them drink hatred and find it difficult to recover their sword energy.

  Before long, the expressions of Zitian and the other person became extremely solemn, because they suddenly discovered that in this Devil's Prison land, it was actually impossible to recover their sword energy. This piece of Devil's Prison land did not have any spiritual energy from heaven and earth, as if it were a completely isolated world, with only thick killing intent and demonic energy.

  Devilish aura, as stated in the Sword Peak Ancestor's handwritten notes, is a spiritual energy filled with devilish nature that does not exist within the Five Elements and is the root of all evil in the world.

  As soon as the sword came into contact, Qi Tian felt that his seven emotions and six desires were infinitely elevated, the sword fetus trembled, and his blood vessels almost boiled over.

  Hummm...

  In the dantian qihai, under the sword fetus, the sarira that suppressed the six ugly tree fruits suddenly burst into a brilliant divine light. The golden Buddha light was auspicious and magnificent, instantly enveloping Qi Tian's entire body, even his sword consciousness was shrouded in the Buddha light.

  Hmph!

  In an instant, Qitian seemed to hear the mournful cry of Wanmo's collective wail, and the demonic energy stirred by the sword's consciousness suddenly dissipated.

  Taking a deep breath, Qitian said: "No wonder that Taoist wanted to exchange for spiritual stones. It turns out that this underground demon prison isn't a place where you can stay as long as you want, without enough spiritual stones, it's impossible to sustain the slaughter."

  Suddenly, Qi Tian's eyes moved and looked back.

  Three miles away, five Taoists rushed towards this side in a hurry. Behind them, nearly a hundred dark magic heads were approaching, spitting out cyan-colored venom one by one, and the dark red earth was corroded all the way, almost forming a ditch that stretched for several miles.

  Seeing the five people, Yun Fei couldn't help but exclaim: "It's the Poison Devil, the most difficult to deal with among the devil heads. Without the Antidote Pill of the Medicine Immortal Valley, even a general Spiritual Awareness stage cultivator who gets stained with just one drop will be in big trouble."

  Before Gu Qiu, there was a group of Red Demons who were stuck with drinking blood. After Gu Qiu, nearly a hundred Poisonous Demons arrived. No matter what, as soon as they descended the mountain, the initial bloody aura on their bodies would be discovered by both Demon Kings.

  As they drew near, the five Daoists suddenly discovered the two people on top of the ancient mound. One of them, a young man with a crimson furnace, activated his Dao power and shouted: "Two fellow Daoists from Qingyun Sect, we are disciples of Ziyue Cave Heaven, being pursued by the poisonous demon, please lend us a helping hand."

  Zi Yue Dong Tian!

  With a concentrated gaze, indeed, on the Taoist robes worn by these five Taoists, amidst those bloodstains, there was a purple crescent moon.

  Yun Fei gritted his teeth and turned back to look at the greedy blood-drinking group of Red Devils, then looked towards Qi Tian.

  "Get down!"

  The Purple Bamboo Sword shook, and Qi Tian jumped down from the ancient mound. He didn't slash out with his Pre-Heaven Sword Aura again, but instead took a few steps forward and directly plunged into the demonic crowd. (Please vote for recommendations!
