“This time, the secret battle between the demons and us started three years ago, but in the end we failed, and they successfully broke through the barrier between the two realms.
We still underestimated the power that the demons had developed by enduring humiliation. Although the strongest of these forces was only a second-rate sect, most of them were third-rate, bottom-tier, or even independent cultivators, but their power was almost spread throughout the entire Desolate Moon Continent.
After exposing almost half of the sects they controlled, the demons did not hesitate to let these sects be eradicated by the four major sects, and finally succeeded in attracting the attention of the four major sects, so that they got two "Break the World Beads", while we only got the "Break the World Bead" that you left behind at Xuanqing Temple. "
Wei Chongran said with regret.
"They finally used these two 'Boundary Breaking Beads' to open the two-boundary barrier in the South China Sea." Li Yan said to himself.
Wei Chongran shook his head and said, "You guessed wrong this time. The demons are not as simple-minded as they seem. After they got the first 'Boundary Breaking Pearl', they were not in a hurry to break through the barrier between the two realms.
Before the South China Sea incident, according to our usual thinking, we believed that they would definitely carry the "Boundary Breaking Pearl" to quietly attack the Yinmo Cliff Crack and detonate it again. After all, the Yinmo Cliff Crack has long been recognized as the thinnest barrier between the Demon Realm and the Desolate Moon Continent.
Moreover, it has already been severely damaged. If it is attacked by the 'Break the World Pearl' again, even though it is protected by the formation, the chance of success is still at least 50%, but we have set the wrong direction."
Wei Chongran sighed and explained helplessly.
Wei Chongran paused for a moment and continued, "Just when we all thought so, the remnants of the demons left in the Desolate Moon Continent really did so, but they made a plan to conceal their true intentions after ensuring that they had obtained two 'Boundary Breaking Pearls'.
One day more than a year ago, a demon general led several demon heads and sixty human Jindan monks to suddenly attack the crack of Yinmo Cliff.
Although we had been prepared, there had been no attacks from our side in the cracks of the Yinmo Cliff for so many years. In the end, we underestimated the opponent's determination. This demon general actually blew up his Nascent Soul without caring about the consequences after he came up.
Even though there were three Nascent Soul cultivators guarding the crack in the Yinmo Cliff at that time, they could only retreat temporarily when a demon general self-destructed. The other demon cultivators took the opportunity to drop a "Boundary Breaking Pearl".
Fortunately, the seal of the crack in Yinmo Cliff had just been re-sealed by two seniors, Taixuan Sect's Shen Yuandu and Jingtu Sect's Shen Daling, so in the end, this "Boundary Breaking Pearl" only had the effect of expanding the crack in Yinmo Cliff, and failed to destroy the seal formation.
Among this group of sneak attacks on demons and monks, except for one demon leader who had mastered many secret techniques and wasted a lot of his blood and energy, causing his realm to fall, he managed to escape accidentally, the rest of the attackers were all killed on the spot.
However, our Jindan cultivators also suffered heavy casualties, and one Yuanying cultivator’s physical body collapsed while trying to stop the enemy demon general from self-destructing, leaving only his Yuanying alive.
Another Nascent Soul cultivator was severely injured by the aftermath of the demon general's self-explosion, and his cultivation level dropped directly from the middle stage of the Nascent Soul to the early stage of the Nascent Soul."
Li Yan was horrified when he heard this. He did not expect that such a major event had happened in the world of immortal cultivation while he was away for several years. Even the extremely powerful Nascent Soul cultivators suffered such heavy casualties.
These are all extremely secretive things, and the fact that Wei Chongran could tell them out is enough to show that he is definitely not just the master of one peak in the Wuliang Sect.
You have to know that sometimes even the sect leader Yan Longzi has no right to be informed about matters concerning Nascent Soul cultivators.
The second is Wei Chongran's trust in himself. Li Yan already knew about the existence of the two God Transformation Stage cultivators just from Wei Chongran's last few sentences. God Transformation Stage cultivators are even more mysterious existences in the Wild Moon Continent. Many people only guess whether they exist, let alone know their names.
The demon generals were equivalent to human Nascent Soul cultivators. When a demon general self-destructed, Li Yan truly realized for the first time how terrifying his power was. Even the three Nascent Soul cultivators working together were unable to stop him, and one of them died and another was injured.
Li Yan was of course a sensible person. Wei Chongran did not tell him the origins of the three Nascent Soul cultivators stationed in the crack of Yinmo Cliff, so he naturally would not ask about it. He just thought about it in his heart.
“Whether dead or injured, if there is a Nascent Soul senior from the Wuliang Sect among them, the sect will be seriously hurt.”
A Nascent Soul cultivator is the most important and powerful being in the immortal cultivation sects in the world.
Although the Divine Transformation cultivators are the best in the mortal world, they have always been used to intimidate the enemy, and it is said that the Divine Transformation cultivators no longer belong to this mortal world.
The reason they can stay in the mortal world is either that they are not sure about their ability to ascend to the fairy world, or that they are still looking for a good spatial node for ascension.
To ascend, you cannot just leave this space at will or find a node at random. If you do that, the result in 99% of cases is that you will be lost in the turbulence of space for your whole life until you eventually die.
At the same time, these godsend monks either suppress their cultivation or will not use their magic power easily.
Because that would cause rejection from the laws of heaven and earth, and they might be directly driven out of the Desolate Moon Continent and into any turbulent space, and then everything would be left to fate.
After listening to his master Wei Chongran's introduction, Li Yan finally understood the effectiveness of the demon clan's trick.
First, it confused the human monks, making them think that the demons' main target of attack was the Yinmo Cliff Crack;
Secondly, the other party only got one "Boundary Breaking Pearl". Otherwise, if two "Boundary Breaking Pearls" were thrown into the crack of Yinmo Cliff at the same time, the result would be really different.
With such speculation, human monks will lower their vigilance a lot and will only strengthen the defense of the cracks in the Yinmo Cliff, so that the demons will have more space to act in secret.
Li Yan then asked, "Then how did they find the weak point of the two-world barrier in the South China Sea?" "We didn't know the answer to this question at first, until later, when a huge change occurred in the South China Sea. Later, several seniors who had reached the God Transformation stage carefully studied the 'Boundary Breaking Pearl' obtained from Xuanqing Temple. Although they still couldn't drive the 'Boundary Breaking Pearl' at all, they finally gained something.
In addition to the spells for opening the 'Boundary Breaking Pearl', there should be another set of spells that can drive the 'Boundary Breaking Pearl' to sense the surrounding environment, so as to obtain feedback on certain auras or perceptions of the two realms, so as to find new weak points in the barrier between the two realms.
Unfortunately, after the other party used a cover-up strategy to attract most of our attention to the cracks in the Yinmo Cliff, no one noticed their subsequent actions in the South China Sea.
Moreover, this barrier is even weaker than the cracks in the Yin Demon Cliff. It can only be said that the luck of the demon clan has arrived. Only one "Breakthrough Pearl" has really opened the passage between the two realms. This cannot but be said to be the sorrow of the entire Desolate Moon Continent. Alas! "
At this point, Wei Chongran sighed softly. Thinking of the tens of thousands of cultivators in Nanhai who were killed by the other side in addition to the sects and families that surrendered, he could only sigh helplessly.
When Li Yan heard this, he was speechless for a while. The demons had won the gamble. As long as they had a little less luck, the Desolate Moon Continent could remain peaceful for at least ten thousand years.
In order to carry out this plan, the demon clan did not hesitate to expose their hidden agents that had been hidden for many years. The four major sects took the opportunity to eradicate them completely, causing great damage to their vitality.
Even if the strength of this barrier in the South China Sea is similar to the cracks in the Yinmo Cliff, the demons will still be empty-handed without the three "Boundary Breaking Pearls".
But all this is just assumption.
Soon, Li Yan thought of another question, "Master, the Taixuan Sect headquarters has been painstakingly built for tens of millions of years. I heard that it was breached by the demons in a very short time. Is this true?"
“Yes, in fact, the Taixuan Sect’s headquarters only lasted half a day because the other side had four Demon Marshal-level beings, while the Taixuan Sect only had one God-transforming being, Senior Yuandu.
If the Seventy-two Heavenly Gates Formation of the Taixuan Sect’s headquarters was not a set of ancient top-level formations, and if it was not executed by four demon commanders, the Taixuan Sect might have ceased to exist after just one encounter.”
"Four demon generals!" Li Yan took a breath of cold air. The simultaneous appearance of four beings in the God Transformation Stage meant that the Taixuan Sect was too unlucky. If it were any of the four major sects, they would probably have suffered the same fate.
Immediately, Li Yan thought of a terrible problem and his face turned pale.
Wei Chongran seemed to see through Li Yan's thoughts at once, and he shook his head gently.
"Are you worried about the passage to the South China Sea? Now that it's open, there will be more powerful demons coming over, right?"
Of course Li Yan thought so. Four powerful demon generals appeared at once. If the other party continued to send out more demons, how could the Desolate Moon Continent withstand this disaster.
In front of these people, Li Yan was just a small bug and would soon die in this invasion. What worried Li Yan more was his parents and other relatives at home.
"You don't have to worry about that. The two-world passage in the South China Sea has been completely destroyed. This was detected by several gods."
Wei Chongran said in a deep voice, and Li Yan quickly noticed the meaning of his words, which was that several ancestors worked together to detect it, rather than to destroy it.
Sure enough, after Wei Chongran glanced at the uneasy Li Yan, he spoke again.
"That weak node channel between the two realms is easily opened up by a 'Boundary Breaking Pearl', which also shows its instability. According to our final analysis, the other party only sent about 10,000 demon cultivators this time.
The main reason for the destruction of the two-realm channel in the South China Sea was the pressure brought by the passage of four powerful demon commanders, which caused irreversible damage to the channel.
Although the other party tried hard to maintain the situation and wanted to send as many demons as possible, but according to the intelligence we got, after the other party sent four powerful demon commanders, they found that they could not send another one.
Otherwise, the passage would collapse in an instant, and all the demon cultivators inside would be killed, including the demon commander who came with them.
Therefore, after they maintained it in every possible way, they could only teleport demon generals, demon lords, and demon soldiers. In order to teleport more demons over, most of them were demon lords and demon soldiers, and even demon generals were very few.
This passage only lasted less than two hours before it completely collapsed."
At this point, a hint of relief appeared on Wei Chongran's usually calm face. Even though this would bring a catastrophe to the Desolate Moon Continent, there was still a possibility of resisting and killing the enemy.
Otherwise, there really is no hope at all. From this, it can be predicted that the number of high-level monks in the demon world is definitely much greater than that on their side.
Li Yan's complexion had recovered a lot by now. At least they still had a chance to fight back.
But Wei Chongran's next words made Li Yan's heart, which had just been slightly relieved, rise again.
