Mortal Cultivator - Chapter 353

“No! This evil beast is crazy!” The demon leader was horrified, his pupils shrank sharply, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. He originally wanted to dodge this attack with his profound cultivation and agile body movements, but it was too late to react.

Seeing the extremely terrifying ancient fire demon, it was burning with raging flames, emitting suffocating high temperature and oppression. Every step it took made the earth tremble, as if the whole world was trembling for it. It opened its bloody mouth, revealing sharp fangs, carrying the power of destroying the world, like a moving volcano, and rushed towards him fiercely! The hideous and terrifying appearance seemed to swallow the person in front of it in one bite.

And at this critical moment, a figure rushed over like lightning. I saw that its speed was so fast that it even left a trail of afterimages in the air, and it arrived in front of the demon in the blink of an eye. This figure was tall and straight, with a white robe fluttering in the wind, as if he was an immortal descending to the earth. However, the aura he exuded was extremely fierce and chilling. Facing the fierce ancient flame demon, he showed no fear. A long sword with a cold glow appeared in his hand and was tightly grasped in his palm.

The man was Wang Lu, who rushed over like a meteor, his figure as fast as lightning. He was seen holding a spirit sword with a cold glow in his right hand. The sword was engraved with mysterious and ancient runes, as if it contained endless power. At this moment, Wang Lu exuded a fierce and terrifying aura, as if the whole world was trembling.

With a deafening roar from his mouth, the spirit sword in his hand was swung out suddenly. In an instant, the sword light was bright, like a dazzling meteor across the night sky, and instantly condensed into a dazzling and dazzling sword energy that was impossible to look at directly. This sword energy was like a substance, with a terrifying power that could destroy the world, and it roared at an astonishing speed to meet the violent and fierce attack of the ancient flame demon.

With a loud “boom”, the two collided fiercely, bursting out countless dazzling sparks and violent energy fluctuations. The surrounding air was distorted by this huge impact force, and a bottomless pit was blown out of the ground. However, although the ancient flame demon was extremely powerful, the sword energy displayed by Wang Lu was not inferior, and he actually resisted its fierce attack.

“Puff!” With this dull sound, Wang Lu suddenly opened his mouth, and a scarlet blood arrow gushed out of his mouth, like a blood-colored rainbow across the sky. The scarlet blood splashed in the air, forming a shocking blood mist.

Despite this, Wang Lu still endured the severe pain and stood firm. It turned out that just at that moment, he used his own powerful strength to forcibly resist the terrifying blow of the ancient flame demon. However, even if he successfully resisted this attack, Wang Lu himself inevitably suffered a huge backlash.

At this moment, he only felt that his blood and qi were surging in his body, and his internal organs seemed to be stirred fiercely by an invisible huge force, and he was in great pain. But even so, the fighting spirit in Wang Lu’s eyes did not diminish at all, but burned more vigorously.

Taking advantage of the brief gap after the ancient flame demon just launched a full-strength attack, Wang Lu gritted his teeth without hesitation, and used up the last bit of his strength to suddenly launch the ultimate killing move he had prepared long ago. In an instant, Wang Lu’s body was full of light, and a powerful and unparalleled spiritual power gathered madly on the magic weapon in his hand like a surging and raging wave. As he waved his arm, the magic weapon shining with brilliant light roared towards the ancient flame demon with unparalleled power…

Wang Lu’s eyes widened, and he shouted angrily: “Sword breaks the sky!” These four words exploded in the air like thunder. At the same time, the spirit sword in his hand instantly burst out with dazzling light, and the light was so bright that people couldn’t look directly at it.

In an instant, a magnificent force surged out from the spirit sword and condensed into a huge sword energy. This sword energy rushed straight towards the ancient flame demon like a long rainbow piercing the sun, and wherever it passed, the void was torn into black cracks.

The ancient flame demon felt this fatal threat, it opened its bloody mouth and spewed out raging flames to block the advancement of the sword energy, but everything was in vain. With a muffled “puff”, the sword energy penetrated the huge body of the ancient flame demon without any hindrance.

Suffering such a heavy blow, the Ancient Flame Demon let out a shrill scream that resounded through the heavens and the earth. The sound seemed to come from the Netherworld, and it was horrifying. Then, after its mountain-like body shook a few times, it fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up dust all over the sky.

When the dust settled, the Ancient Flame Demon had completely disappeared, and only a pile of burning embers remained. The breeze blew, and the ashes drifted with the wind, as if telling the ending of this thrilling battle.

The fierce battle finally came to an end, and the battlefield was filled with smoke and dust. Wang Lu was like a sculpture with its spine removed, sitting heavily and powerlessly on the land covered with blood and broken limbs. His originally upright body was now slightly hunched, as if carrying the weight of the whole world.

Wang Lu opened his mouth wide, greedily sucking in the air around him that was mixed with the smell of blood and soil. Every breath seemed to drag his soul back from the abyss. His chest rose and fell violently, like a dilapidated bellows, making a “whooshing” sound. Sweat had already soaked his clothes, and drops of it slid down his forehead and dripped onto the dry land under his feet, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

And at this moment, those people from the magic path slowly gathered around like a tide. They hesitated one by one, but their eyes were always firmly locked on Wang Lu. The eyes of these people were full of various complex and incomprehensible emotions: some were full of deep gratitude, because if it weren’t for Wang Lu’s single-handed efforts to turn the tide, I’m afraid they would all die today; but more people showed doubts on their faces, secretly wondering in their hearts where this young man who suddenly appeared came from? Why does he have such a powerful and mysterious strength?

“Why are you helping us?” The leading demon finally asked.

Wang Lu’s mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a sneer of contempt. His cold eyes swept over everyone, and then he slowly said: “Hmph! Don’t think that this young master came here on purpose to help you, a bunch of rabble. To tell you the truth, the reason why I took action is entirely because I don’t want to see this ancient flame demon wantonly destroy this ancient world. After all, it is really a pity if such a precious place is destroyed. Moreover, I will never allow you evil-minded demons to take this opportunity to do anything shameful in this ancient world! Otherwise, don’t blame me for eradicating you all!”

The leading demon snorted coldly and said with disdain: “Hmph! Boy, no matter what your intention is to save us, since you have helped us today, we will remember this favor. However, I have to kindly remind you, don’t rely on your little skills to get involved in the affairs of the ancient world. The water here is very deep, and it is not something that a small righteous disciple like you can just mess around with! If you don’t listen to my advice, you won’t know how you will die!” After that, his sinister eyes stared at the person in front of him, as if he wanted to see through him.

“Oh? Really? “With a cold snort, Wang Lu stood up suddenly, staring at the people opposite him like an eagle, his eyes full of undisguised provocation. He stood straight, standing firmly like a mountain, exuding an invisible pressure.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a sneer, and he slowly said: “I really want to see what you, the scum of the demon path who hide your head and show your tail and dare not show your true face, are up to! This teleportation array is a matter of great importance. If you dare to act rashly, don’t blame me for being ruthless. Don’t regret it when the time comes! Humph!” After that, he crossed his arms and looked proud, as if he didn’t take the group of demons in front of him seriously at all.

“Do you think you can stop us?” The demon leader flashed a trace of murderous intent in his eyes, “Don’t think that you can point fingers at us just because you saved us once. “

“Try it. “Wang Lu looked back at the other party without fear, the spirit sword in his hand trembled slightly, ready to fight again at any time.

Just when the two sides were on the verge of a fight, suddenly, the ancient teleportation array on the ground glowed brightly, and a powerful force surged out of it. Everyone was stunned by this sudden change and retreated.

“Not good! The teleportation array is about to start! “Wang Lu was shocked, and he realized that things were beyond his control.

At this moment, everyone saw that the light emitted by the teleportation array became more and more dazzling, like a scorching sun in the sky, which made people almost unable to open their eyes. Then, an extremely large vortex slowly emerged, and its scale was jaw-dropping.

This vortex was like a giant beast with its bloody mouth opened wide, greedily devouring everything around it. With a deafening roar, an irresistible strong suction suddenly swept in from the center of the vortex. In an instant, flying sand and rocks, grass and trees were uprooted and flew towards the vortex.

Seeing this, Wang Lu and those people in the magic way, All of them changed their faces. They knew that once they were involved, the consequences would be disastrous. So, they tried their best to resist this terrifying suction. However, despite their best efforts, the suction was too strong and could not be resisted by human power.

Wang Lu gritted his teeth, held the magic weapon tightly in his hands, and continuously injected spiritual power into it, trying to stabilize his body. But he felt as if he was in a storm and could be swallowed at any time. And those people of the magic way were not much better. They were pale, and some couldn’t even hold the weapons in their hands and were directly sucked into the vortex.

“Ah! “With a scream, a demon was sucked into the vortex. Soon after, others were also drawn into it. Wang Lu gritted his teeth and tried to use his spiritual power to get rid of the suction, but was eventually swallowed by the vortex.

When Wang Lu woke up slowly and opened his eyes, a strong sense of discomfort surged into his heart. He blinked, trying to make his vision clearer, but what he saw made him gasp – he was actually in a completely unfamiliar space!

It was pitch black here, like an endless abyss, without any light. Only in the far distance ahead, there were a few faint lights flickering, like lonely stars in the night sky. Although the light was dim, it was particularly eye-catching in the darkness.

Wang Lu calmed down, endured the discomfort of his body, and stood up from the ground with difficulty. His nerves were instantly tense, and his eyes were full of vigilance. I saw that those evil and terrifying demons who were usually vicious and frightening appeared in this strange place like him. Moreover, each of their faces was full of confusion and astonishment, and they obviously knew nothing about the current situation.

“Where is this?” A demon asked in horror.

“It seems that we have been teleported to an unknown place.” The leading demon said gloomily, “But since we are here, let’s see what secrets there are here.”

Wang Lu pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, but his slightly wrinkled brows and flickering eyes revealed his inner uneasiness. This uneasiness was like an invisible hand, gently pulling at his heartstrings, making it difficult for him to calm down.

He turned his body carefully and scanned the surroundings with his eyes like a torch. Gradually, he found that he was in an extremely vast underground cave! The top of the cave was high, like the sky; and the ground was rugged and rocky. What was even more weird was that the walls of the cave were densely engraved with various strange symbols and patterns. Some of these symbols were shaped like twisted snakes, some looked like hideous ghost faces, and some were like mysterious spells… They were intertwined together to form a creepy picture.

Wang Lu stared at the symbols and patterns on the walls, and felt a chill rising from his spine. What do these things represent? Why are they here? Countless questions came to his mind, making him feel more and more uneasy.

Everyone’s heart was in their throat. They tiptoed and moved slowly and lightly towards the front. Every step they took, they had to stop and observe whether there was any abnormality around them, for fear of alarming some terrible existence. In this way, they approached the mysterious place step by step.

As the distance got closer and closer, they finally saw a towering and majestic huge stone gate standing in front of them. This stone gate was like an insurmountable natural moat, blocking the way forward for everyone. The most eye-catching thing was the huge eye carved above the stone gate. This eye was lifelike, as if it had its own independent consciousness and life. It stared at the group of uninvited guests coldly and ruthlessly, making people feel creepy.

There was a kind of icy coldness in that eye, like the eyes of a demon from the depths of the Nine Nether Hell, making people dare not look at it for too long. It seems to be able to see through the fears and secrets deep in people’s hearts. As long as they are not careful, they will be devoured by it. Under such gazes, everyone felt an indescribable sense of oppression, and even their breathing became heavy.

“What is this place?” A demon asked tremblingly.

“No matter where it is, go in and take a look.” The leading demon walked forward and tried to push open the stone door. However, when his hand touched the stone door, a powerful force bounced him back.

“Humph, it seems that this stone door has a ban.” Wang Lu walked forward and carefully observed the symbols and patterns on the stone door, thinking about how to crack it in his heart.

After some research, Wang Lu found that these symbols and patterns seemed to be related to an ancient formation. With his rich knowledge and clever mind, he gradually found a way to crack the ban.

“Get out of the way, let me try.” Wang Lu said.

Although the demon was a little skeptical, there was no other way at this time, so he had to get out of the way. According to his own inference, Wang Lu pressed several patterns on the stone door in turn. As he moved, the light on the stone door began to flicker, and the ban seemed to be gradually lifted.

“Boom!” With a loud noise, the stone door slowly opened. An old and mysterious breath came. Everyone looked at each other, and then walked into the stone door carefully.

Inside the door was a huge palace. In the center of the palace was a huge stone platform, on which was a crystal ball emitting light. A circle of runes surrounded the crystal ball, which flashed with mysterious light and seemed to contain endless power.

“What is this?” The leading demon walked forward and wanted to pick up the crystal ball. However, when his hand approached the crystal ball, a light suddenly flashed, and he was knocked out by a powerful force.

“Be careful! There is something strange about this crystal ball.” Wang Lu shouted hurriedly.

At this moment, countless rays of light suddenly appeared on the wall of the palace, and these rays of light gathered together to form a huge phantom. The phantom was an old man in a black robe, with indifference and majesty in his eyes.

“You ignorant ants, how dare you break in here!” The old man’s voice echoed in the palace, full of oppression.

“Who are you? Where is this place?” The leading demon asked, suppressing the fear in his heart.

“I am the guardian of this place, and this is the forbidden place where the demon god is sealed.” The old man said coldly.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. The demon god is an extremely powerful existence in the legend. If it is released, I am afraid that the entire cultivation world will face a catastrophe.

“You stupid guys actually tried to activate the teleportation array and enter here to find power. But you don’t know that all this is the conspiracy of the demon god.” The old man continued, “Once this teleportation array is activated, it will break the seal here and let the demon god see the light of day again.”

Wang Lu’s heart sank. He finally understood why the people of the demon path appeared in the ancient world and why they were so obsessed with activating the teleportation array. It turned out that all this was controlled by the demon god behind the scenes.

“No, we can’t let the demon god revive.” Wang Lu said, “We must find a way to reseal this place.”

“Just you?” The old man sneered, “But since you are here, it is also the arrangement of fate. If you can pass my test, I will teach you how to reseal the demon god.”

After speaking, the old man’s phantom disappeared, and then countless powerful attacks appeared in the palace and attacked everyone. Wang Lu and the demon path people didn’t have time to think about it, and they all used their own skills to fight against these attacks fiercely.

In this fierce battle, Wang Lu fully exerted his intelligence and powerful strength. He skillfully used the swordsmanship of the Spirit Sword School and cooperated with the people of the Demonic Path to resolve crises time and time again. The people of the Demonic Path had to admit that Wang Lu’s strength was indeed beyond their imagination.

After a hard fight, everyone finally successfully passed the test. The phantom of the old man appeared in the palace again.

“Yes, your performance is beyond my expectations.” The old man said, “In this case, I will teach you how to re-seal the Demon God.”

Then, the old man told Wang Lu and the people of the Demonic Path the method of sealing the Demon God in detail. Wang Lu listened carefully and kept every detail in mind.

“Remember, the process of sealing the Demon God is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will fail. You must be careful.” The old man warned.

“We understand.” Wang Lu said, “Thank you for your advice.”

After getting the method of sealing the Demon God, Wang Lu and the people of the Demonic Path decided to temporarily put aside their grievances and complete the task of sealing the Demon God together. They followed the old man’s instructions and began to arrange the sealing array in the palace.

In the process of arranging the magic circle, Wang Lu and the people of the magic path cooperated with each other. Although there were occasional minor frictions, they all chose to endure for the common goal. After several days of hard work, the sealing magic circle was finally arranged.

“Are you ready?” Wang Lu looked at the people of the magic path and asked.

“Ready.” The leading demon nodded.

Wang Lu took a deep breath, and then together with the people of the magic path, he exerted a powerful spiritual power to activate the sealing magic circle. Suddenly, the whole palace was shining, and a powerful force rushed towards the crystal ball.

The demon god in the crystal ball seemed to feel the threat and began to struggle desperately. Its power constantly impacted the sealing magic circle, trying to break through the shackles. Wang Lu and the people of the magic path gritted their teeth and tried their best to maintain the operation of the magic circle.

“Hold on! Don’t let the demon god succeed!” Wang Lu shouted.

With the efforts of everyone, the sealing magic circle gradually took effect. The struggle of the demon god became weaker and weaker, and finally, it was re-sealed in the crystal ball.

As the demon god was sealed, the whole palace began to shake violently. Wang Lu knew that this place was about to collapse. He hurriedly called the people of the Demonic Path and ran towards the teleportation array together.

At the last moment of the palace collapse, Wang Lu and the people of the Demonic Path successfully activated the teleportation array and left this dangerous place.

When they returned to the Ancient Dao Realm again, they all felt like they had survived a catastrophe. Wang Lu looked at the people of the Demonic Path and said, “I hope you can remember the lesson of this incident. The path of the Demonic Path is a road of no return after all.”

The leading demon was silent for a moment, and then said, “Thank you for what happened today. Perhaps, we in the Demonic Path should really re-examine our own path.”

After speaking, the people of the Demonic Path turned and left. Wang Lu looked at their backs, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. He knew that this cooperation with the people of the Demonic Path was just an accident. But perhaps, from this moment on, the pattern of the world of cultivation will undergo some subtle changes.

Wang Lu tidied his clothes and walked towards the exit of the Ancient Dao Realm. He knew that his path to cultivation was still long, and there would be more challenges waiting for him in the future…
