The Devils Emerge
Longyang levitated his black mirror into the sky with triumph on his lips. The mirror blasted rays of light, enveloping even himself. A black mist from deep down in the earth below said surged up. He activated his mirror’s ability. Whilst levitating, he mocked, “Hihihi, have a taste of this old one’s Blood Illumination Devil Mirror’s ability…”
Longyang imbued his Blood Illumination Devil’s Mirror with his energy, resulting in a sky-shattering boom, summoning a column that fused with the barrier. The trembling barrier gradually stopped. Devil qi gushed out from the devils’ lair below and fused with the black mirror.
Yang Tian recalled the hallucination formation he encountered at Formation Sect and the fact that Blood Illumination Devil Mirror’s was Longyang’s guardian treasure. Yang Tian broke out of character, catching Shangguan Hao’s attention; he shivered when he sensed Yang Tian’s killing intent. Then, he tracked Yang Tian’s line of sight to the mirror, wondering how Longyang offended Yang Tian.
Yang Xiao also noticed Yang Tian’s loss of control over his energy despite having gone through plenty of turmoil. “What’s the matter?”
Longyang turned to intercept Yang Tian’s gaze upon feeling the cold aura on him. He frowned because he saw through Yang Tian’s disguise technique. “Who’s the runt? He looks familiar…”
Pill Valley’s elders unleashed their bloodmarks on their weapons while Longyang was distracted, crushing the firmament. Blood Blade wildly slashed the barrier, resembling torrential rain. Other adepts arrived on the scene to join the assault. Their combined efforts rattled the consolidated barrier again.
The deep chasm rumbled, and the sinister qi poured into Blood Illumination Devil Mirror, transforming it into a new firmament that fused with the barrier in the blink of an eye.
“Uncle Xiao, that’s the murderer, Longyang!”
Furious, Yang Xiao carelessly discharged his energy. His Azure Flame surfaced in his eyes, and his hair tousled. “The barrier has been brought under control. The formation is useless. They need to dismantle the formation to be able to utilise their formation’s ability.”
Yang Tian was cognisant of the fact it wasn’t wise to let his emotions motivate his actions and reveal his identity.
In spite of Longyang’s advanced cultivation, he couldn’t maintain the barrier against the overwhelming numbers. Still, the devil qi inside the barrier intensified and spread. In the meantime, the six-cornered star underground weakened by the second.
They two elders, noticing the dire situation, tried to make a last ditch effort to block the ground with their mist-form energy.
More and more people arrived on the scene. The majority of Pill Valley’s disciples arrived.
Dan Xiaoxiao’s cheerful smile was a testament to her bountiful catch. “Hey, Handsome Brother, what happened inside?”
“Devils have returned,” replied Yang Tian, with a smile.
Yang Xiao noticed Dan Xiaoxiao’s Fire God divine body, the dream of every alchemist.
Dan Zong was worried since Fire Ancestor hadn’t arrived. If the exterior seal was undone, there was no way they could handle the horde of devils sealed inside.
“Junior Brother, activate the killing formation!” commanded Grand Elder.
Elder Dan blasted waves of Bloodflame from his Bloodmark Great Cauldron. Bloodflame wisps slammed down on the barrier, melting it. Joining the attack, Grand Elder poked the air, summoning a colossal corporeal sword. With a “slash!” command, the blood-red sword swung down. Its resounding impact sounded as though it sliced the world apart, and it certainly decimated the void.
“Speed up! The barrier is going to collapse!” Earth Lord and Human Lord unleashed as much energy as they could for one heavy slam on the almost-shattered formation.
The six-corner star’s light dimmed more and more. Devils began to fight their way out. Their tentacles were repulsive. One bellowed as he attacked the star. The impact of the attacks almost busted eardrums. The barrier quaked as the colossal sword cut into it. Perceiving it was futile to fight any longer, Longyang immediately summoned his mirror back to him.
“Burst!” brayed Elder Dan, unleashing energy from his furnace down onto the barrier and busting a hole in it.
At the same instant, a tornado of devil qi burst out, sending tremors throughout Pill Flame Domain. The black mist invaded the quivering firmament.
