The Bright Lake was flowing with brilliant light, holy and mysterious, ethereal and peaceful, like a fairyland, completely different from the evil energy surging around it, as if it were divided into two worlds.
But when An Xi Lingxiao, Zhao Ritian and Ye Liangchen entered the Bright Lake, they discovered that there was another world inside the Bright Lake.
In the Lake of Light, the light is brilliant and the glow is hazy, as if it contains an extremely mysterious world.
The Bright Lake was unfathomable. The three of them dived deeper and soon saw a huge crystal palace, which was crystal clear and flawless.
The crystal palace was built on the mountain, and behind it was a huge mountain range, rolling and undulating, like a giant beast lurking under the water.
The Crystal Palace and the mountain range were all covered by a huge, transparent barrier.
At the gate of the Crystal Palace, there was a group of armored, stern-faced guards on duty. Their eyes were as sharp as lightning, and they were looking around vigilantly.
They are all guards of the Demon Emperor City. They are here under the orders of the Lord Guardian to protect the secrets of the Demon Mine.
"That mountain range is the Heavenly Demon Mine, but it is covered by a formation barrier, and that gate is the only entrance and exit. After we sneak in, we will act according to circumstances!"
Ye Liangchen sent a message to An Di Ling Xiao and Zhao Ri Tian.
An An Ling Xiao and Zhao Ritian were also looking at the crystal palace in front of them, and nodded slightly when they heard what was said.
"stop!"
The three of them were stopped in front of the Crystal Palace's gate.
A cold and arrogant young man wearing black armor and a red cloak behind him, with eyes as bright as lightning, glanced at the three people of Dark Lingxiao, and finally his eyes fell on Ye Liangchen.
His cultivation was extraordinary, having already reached the realm of a high-level emperor, and he was obviously the leader of many guards.
"Who are you? You look a little unfamiliar. Do you have a pass token?"
The cold and arrogant young man stared at Ye Liangchen and said.
"Your Excellency, I am Zhang Jun. This is my pass. I am here to escort two trial participants to mine on the orders of the garrison commander!"
Ye Liangchen was not in a hurry. He bowed to the cold and arrogant young man, and then a pass token appeared in his palm with a bright light.
The cold and arrogant young man took the token and activated a trace of original power. The token suddenly burst into a bright light, floating above Ye Liangchen's head, emitting wisps of mysterious aura.
Ye Liangchen looked normal, and the aura on him was exactly the same as that of the token.
This will prove that Ye Liangchen is the real owner of the token and not an imposter.
The cold and arrogant young man's expression relaxed, and he said calmly: "Go in!"
After saying that, the guards around activated the formation and opened the door of the barrier to let Ye Liangchen, An Di Ling Xiao and Zhao Ritian in.
An An Ling Xiao and Zhao Ritian looked at each other and understood that Ye Liangchen was indeed reliable and had actually deceived the guards.
But just as they were about to step into the barrier, the cold and arrogant young man's face suddenly changed, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"No, they are not guards. Close the barrier and stop them!"
Boom!
The black sword in the palm of the cold and arrogant young man was extremely sharp. It instantly turned into a dazzling blade light and swept towards Ye Liangchen and the other two.
Ye Liangchen was also stunned for a moment. He never thought that his identity would be exposed. He didn't know what went wrong.
boom!
A murderous intent flashed in An An Ling Xiao's eyes, and he punched out in the air, knocking the two guards in front of him who were trying to close the barrier door back, causing them to cough up blood and fly backwards.
"Go in first!"
Dark Lingxiao shouted loudly without even looking at the cold and arrogant young man behind him. His magic armor burst into a dazzling light, and his magic power was overwhelming, and he blasted directly behind him.
Snap!
The dazzling sword light shattered with a loud bang, and the sword in the cold and arrogant young man's hand was actually broken into two halves by a punch from Dark Lingxiao.
His blood was surging all over his body, and he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He coughed up blood and retreated, his eyes filled with extreme horror.
At this moment, Dark Lingxiao took Zhao Ritian and Ye Liangchen and rushed in directly.
Boom!
The barrier was closed again, but Dark Lingxiao and the other two had already sneaked in.
Outside the gate, the cold and arrogant young man and many guards all had grim expressions, murderous intent boiling in their bodies, and their eyes were filled with shock and anger.
They knew that something big had happened!
"Quickly inform the garrison commander, and the rest of you, follow me to capture and kill these three thieves!"
The cold and arrogant young man shouted, his eyes filled with extremely cold murderous intent.
He rushed into the barrier with a group of guards, while the others quickly went to inform the garrison commander.
This is the place that the Lord Guardian values the most. It contains the Heavenly Demon Mine, which can be said to be the lifeblood of the Lord Guardian. Now someone has rushed in directly. If the Lord Guardian knew about this, he would probably be furious.
There were many guards in the Crystal Palace within the barrier, and the battle at the gate also woke up the guards in the Crystal Palace.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
One after another, powerful figures rushed out from the Crystal Palace, their eyes were extremely cold and full of murderous intent.
“Bold!”
"Kill them if they dare to act wild here!"
"We can't let them get close to the Demonic Mine!"
"… "
Many guards shouted loudly, and one by one they used their powerful magical powers to kill Dark Lingxiao and the other two.
“Get lost!”
Dark Lingxiao's eyes were extremely cold, and his whole body was filled with cold murderous intent. He took a step forward, the void shook violently, and unparalleled demonic power spread out, like a peerless evil demon descending to the world. The fierce and monstrous aura made the guards' faces change.
Boom!
The demon armor was as red as blood, and a terrifying aura burst out. An unparalleled fist print instantly crossed the sky and suppressed the many guards.
This punch was so powerful and domineering that it was intended to suppress all the guards at the same time.
"act recklessly!"
Someone shouted coldly.
Dark Lingxiao was only at the sixth level of the Emperor Realm. In the eyes of many guards, doing this was simply courting death.
But soon, they felt the fear from the depths of their souls.
That unparalleled fist print contained tremendous power, as if it formed a vast world that enveloped them.
The powerful and domineering fist burst out and hit them in an instant.
puff…
Many guards were shocked all over, blood spurted out of their mouths, and they flew backwards!
This naturally includes the cold and arrogant young man.
The eyes of many guards showed expressions of extreme shock. They were trembling all over, filled with fear and anger, and could not believe why Dark Lingxiao was so terrifying.
"A bunch of rubbish!"
Dark Lingxiao sneered and walked towards the Demonic Mine with Zhao Ritian and Ye Liangchen.
The guards behind him all had extremely grim expressions, but no one dared to chase after him.
"What should we do? Are we going to let him snatch the Heavenly Demon Crystal? If the governor comes, I'm afraid we will all be held accountable!"
A guard commander said with a grim expression.
"These three thieves are extremely powerful, we are no match for them! If we force our way in, we will only end up seeking death. Immediately activate the formation barrier to trap them to death and wait for the arrival of the garrison commander!"
The cold and arrogant young man said in a cold voice.
Although he was extremely depressed and aggrieved in his heart, he had to admit that Dark Lingxiao's power was beyond their imagination.
This is a powerful trial-taker who possesses the combat power of an unrivaled emperor.
"That's right! This is the barrier set up by the Lord Guardian himself. Even the peerless emperor can't break it. Although they are powerful, how can they be the Lord Guardian's opponent? Trap them to death, and when the Lord Guardian arrives, they will all die!"
Many guards nodded.
There are three guard commanders in total in the formation barrier, including the cold and arrogant young man. They wield the power of the formation. Although they cannot use the power of the formation to kill the enemy, if they activate the formation, they can trap the invading enemy in the formation barrier.
According to the cold and arrogant young man's suggestion, the three guard commanders immediately took action.
A formation flag appeared in the hands of each of them. As the flags waved, the void vibrated, runes shone brightly, and the formation barrier exuded a primitive and ancient aura, which instantly increased several times.
Many trial participants who were mining in the Demonic Mine raised their heads involuntarily, their eyes filled with surprise and doubt.
Although their cultivation was restricted and they were imprisoned here to mine, they were always thinking about escaping.
At this time, An Xi Ling Xiao, Zhao Ritian and Ye Liangchen had already entered the Demonic Mine.
"The Sky Demon Crystal in the Sky Demon Mine has spirituality and is hidden in the mine. Those trial participants can only consume the power of the Immortal Spirit to capture it. Otherwise, the Demon Peng would not have captured so many Guardians! What should we do next? The Demon Peng will probably arrive soon!"
Ye Liangchen looked at Dark Lingxiao and asked.
In such a short period of time, it was already a stroke of luck for the three of them to be able to dig up a few pieces of Heavenly Demon Crystals. It was simply impossible to get a large number of Heavenly Demon Crystals.
Previously, the plan was to deceive the guards and then mine secretly.
But now, I'm afraid it's no longer possible.
"Mo Peng? It's just right that he's here! Since this Heavenly Demon Mine is his, he must have a lot of Heavenly Demon Crystals on him, right?"
Dark Lingxiao sneered.
"What do you want to do?"
Ye Liangchen felt something was wrong and asked while looking at An Di Ling Xiao.
"You don't want to imitate Ling Xiao and kill a garrison commander, do you?"
Zhao Ritian was also shocked by Dark Lingxiao's thoughts.
"Is it not possible? If Mo Peng leaves the Demon Emperor City and loses the support of the Heavenly Dao, he will be nothing more than an ordinary peerless emperor. With the strength of the three of us, can we not kill a garrison commander?"
Dark Lingxiao smiled proudly, his eyes full of eagerness to try.
"It's better not to be so impulsive! Although the Sky Demon Crystals here are spiritual and extremely difficult to capture, there is still a chance! Why don't we go directly to the core of the Sky Demon Mine and look for the Sky Demon Crystal Core?"
Zhao Ritian shook his head.
The Heavenly Demon Crystal Core he mentioned is the source of the Heavenly Demon Crystal's power. The Heavenly Demon Crystal can condense into shape because of the energy released by the Heavenly Demon Crystal Core.
Of course, the Heavenly Demon Crystal Core must be more difficult to find than the Heavenly Demon Crystal, otherwise it would have fallen into Mo Peng's hands long ago.
"The Sky Demon Crystal Core?"
An An Ling Xiao's heart moved, then he looked at Zhao Ritian in front of him and nodded involuntarily.
Others may not be able to find the Demonic Crystal Core, but Zhao Ritian is the son of destiny, so maybe he can find it
"Okay! If that Demon Peng dares to come, then we'll kill him! Let's go find the Heavenly Demon Crystal Core first!"
Dark Lingxiao said.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The three of them instantly turned into three divine rainbows and entered the Heavenly Demon Mine.
There is a different world within the Tianmo Mine. The mine tunnels that extend in all directions lead to deep underground. They are intertwined with each other, densely packed and very strange.
Inside the mine, there are trial-takers whose cultivation has been restricted. They are consuming their immortal spirits to search for the location of the Heavenly Demon Crystal.
These trial-takers were all captured by the Demonic Peng Guardian. They had to dig up a Heavenly Demon Crystal every day to stay safe. Otherwise, they would be beaten and kicked, or even have their souls extracted and their spirits refined, and they would suffer endless pain.
They seemed to be a little numb, moving slowly in the mine, constantly searching for traces of the Heavenly Demon Crystal.
Even if An Di Ling Xiao, Zhao Ritian and Ye Liangchen entered the mine, no one paid any attention to them.
They then chose a mine and headed deeper into it.
The mine is deep, and the mountain walls on both sides are extremely hard and filled with the aura of the devil. Even a powerful emperor would find it difficult to destroy it.
Dark Lingxiao was in the mine, surrounded by chaotic mist. He continued to absorb the demonic energy around him and felt his body growing stronger.
However, there is still a big gap between the surrounding demonic energy and the energy within the demonic crystal.
Dark Lingxiao estimated that if he had thousands or tens of thousands of Heavenly Demon Crystals to temper his body, he would be able to kill the Peerless Emperor with a single punch without any magic armor.
However, the Sky Demon Crystal is hidden in the mineral veins, and is difficult to find with the naked eye and discern with spiritual sense. Only when the immortal soul enters the mine can the whereabouts of the Sky Demon Crystal be detected.
However, this kind of exploration is a huge burden for the Immortal Soul and will consume a lot of original power.
They have already gone hundreds of thousands of feet into the mine, but still have not found any trace of the Heavenly Demon Crystal.
It seemed that Zhao Ritian’s good luck had run out here.
There is a cold stone wall ahead, and we have reached the end of the mine.
"Could it be that we are going to mine here?"
Ye Liangchen said with a strange look.
"Don't talk, I can already sense the aura of the Heavenly Demon Crystal!"
Zhao Ritian's eyes suddenly lit up and he stopped Ye Liangchen.
"Feel the aura of the Heavenly Demon Crystal? You are kidding!"
Ye Liangchen's eyes were full of suspicion.
Dark Lingxiao was also skeptical. Zhao Ritian had not even sacrificed his immortal spirit, so how could he possibly discover the Heavenly Demon Crystal
Not to mention, this is the end of the mine, and there is only a deep stone wall in front of us.
"go!"
Zhao Ritian ignored the two of them. With a flash of light in his hand, the Emperor Sword of Heavenly Dao rose into the air and chopped down towards the stone wall next to him.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sword energy was cold, just like cutting tofu. The Emperor Sword of Heavenly Dao quickly broke through the cold stone wall and drilled into the depths.
Zhao Ritian, An Di Ling Xiao and Ye Liangchen all followed closely.
Boom!
The Heavenly Dao Emperor Sword opened up a mine tunnel and went forward for hundreds of feet. It was like it had struck hard divine iron, sparks flew everywhere, and the stone skin kept peeling off.
Zhao Ritian mobilized the original power in his body. His blood and energy rose, and the Heavenly Dao Emperor Sword shone brightly. Wisps of imperial power spread out. The sword light was so sharp that it instantly shattered the hard boulder in front of him.
It was like opening a passage to a new world. The scene before my eyes suddenly became clear, bright light filled the air, and an extremely huge underground cave appeared.
Above the grotto, numerous Sky Demon Crystals emitted a deep light, interwoven with pure demonic energy, hanging on the stone wall.
Looking closely, there are actually hundreds of Heavenly Demon Crystals.
"Is this okay?"
An Xi Lingxiao and Ye Liangchen looked at each other, their eyes full of disbelief.
Ye Liangchen actually found the Heavenly Demon Crystals, and there were hundreds of them at once!
