Although the crisis in the Refining Domain has been resolved, there is still a very important thing that needs to be resolved in Ye Zan or the Shenhua Domain, and that is the evil demons who escaped from the Black Prison.
At the beginning, due to the actions of the Tianyu Daozu, the will of heaven and earth in the Shenhua Domain suddenly could not tolerate the power of the Dharma Realm. As a result, Lord Linghua, who was sitting in the Tiandao Mountain, was unable to suppress the evil spirits in the black prison, and he was even trapped in the depths of the black prison.
In addition to the monarch-level Yinsha demons who besieged Linghua Daojun and did not dare to reveal their stronger aura, the other Yinsha demons equivalent to the Yuan Shen level poured out of the black prison like a flood that broke a bank. Along with the evil energy released from the black prison, these evil spirits quickly expanded in all directions with Mount Tiandao as the center, forming a huge ghost realm of the underworld.
In this ghost realm of the underworld, not to mention the mortals in the world, even some third-rate sects, no one can escape. Seeing this situation, several major sects around them felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. After all, their own Dharma Prime Minister and even the Supreme Supreme Tongtian did not dare to leak a breath to the outside at that time.
Later, changes occurred in the underworld, Tianyu Daozu's methods lost their effect, and the will of heaven and earth returned to its original appearance. The founders of several major sects in the surrounding area were finally able to take action in person, but the ghost domain had also expanded to an extent that they could not easily erase.
Why, when Daozu Xuanyuan reshaped his Dharmakaya, the Supreme Beings who were attracted by the movement did not appear on the battlefield in the underworld in the end? It's not that the Supreme Being is unwilling to take them, nor is it that they are too afraid to face the evil spirits outside, but it's just that someone needs to take care of the situation outside.
In the underworld of the underworld, there are many powerful beings who resist the evil spirits outside the world. At the same time, the Hunyuan Supreme of the Five Elements Sect, the Great Miao Supreme of the Shenxiao Sect, the Dongxuan Supreme of the Lingxu Sect, and the Wu Nian Supreme of the Taixu Sect are among the four Supreme Supreme Beings. They are also cleaning out the evil spirits from four directions outside the ghost realm.
The role of Tiandao Mountain is not only to help talented disciples of various sects to realize Taoism, but more importantly, it is to suppress the evil spirits in the black prison. The large formation formed by the Forest of Enlightenment Steles will move on its own every once in a while, mainly to weaken the power of those evil spirits. Then Linghua Daojun will lead many guardians into the black prison to kill those evil spirits whose strength has been greatly reduced, especially those who have reached or are about to reach the monarch level.
In other words, without the great formation of the Forest of Enlightenment Steles, Linghua Dao Lord would not be completely sure of facing those monarch-level sinister evil spirits in the black prison. It’s not that the monarch-level Yinsha Demons are strong. The key is that there are too many of them. When the gap in strength is not very large, it is normal for a tiger to be unable to defeat a pack of wolves.
The shackles of heaven and earth have returned to the past, and the power of the Dharma Realm and Tongtian Realm on the ascetics' side can be taken action, but those monarch-level Yinsha evil spirits also have no restraints.
After the four Tongtian Supremes took action, the initial cleanup and suppression went quite smoothly, and they directly suppressed more than half of the ghost land. However, with the appearance of those monarch-level Yinsha demons, although the four Heaven-reaching Supreme Beings were not in much trouble, the speed of clearing the ghost domain suddenly slowed down.
It is precisely because of this that these four Supreme Beings did not follow the Supreme Being to go directly to the underworld. After all, there are already monarch-level Yinsha demons in the ghost realm. Once the four heaven-reaching supremes leave, the ghost realm may expand a thousand times in an instant. At the same time, the strength of those evil spirits will be further strengthened by the expanded ghost realm, and it is not impossible to reach the limit of the shackles of heaven and earth.
At that time, even if Tongtian Supreme takes action, the most it can do is limit the continued expansion of the ghost realm, and it will be even more difficult to completely eradicate it.
Returning to Ye Zan's side, he controlled the war fortress to leave the Hell Gate. He also took into account the situation around Tiandao Mountain. In addition, there was indeed no way for this thing to pass through the teleportation array, so he flew towards the entrance of the black prison. Along the way, I didn't encounter any evil spirits. They had obviously gone out to party. Devouring life and absorbing Yang Qi, it is a gluttonous feast for the evil spirits.
At the same time, Ye Zan also discovered the bones of some protectors from various sects through the detectors placed in the black prison. This incident happened so suddenly that even the Taoist Lord Linghua was suppressed in the depths of the Black Prison. Naturally, it was hard for these guardians to deal with it.
For some unknown reason, Ye Zan sent an unmanned aerial vehicle to move the corpses of the guardians to the war fortress. Even though there are people from the Star Sect and Taiyi Sect, some may have died heroically, while others may have been killed because they were afraid of death, but in the end they all died at their "posts".
Arriving at the entrance to the Black Prison, the entrance didn't seem big enough to allow the huge war fortress to pass through. However, Ye Zan had already learned the method of entering and exiting this black prison from Taoist Lord Linghua, so he stood in front of the gate of the fortress and started to use the magic formula.
As Ye Zan pinched the magic spell, the entrance to the black prison quickly grew larger, and a ray of light fell on the war fortress, pulling the huge war fortress over. The huge volume of the war fortress shrank all the way under the traction light, and coupled with the enlargement of the entrance to the black prison, it finally passed through the light film of the entrance smoothly and arrived above the Tiandao Mountain outside.
At this time, Tiandao Mountain, as the center of the ghost realm, naturally gathered countless evil spirits. Seeing the sudden appearance of the war fortress, the Yinsha demons crowding the Tiandao Mountain suddenly rushed towards the war fortress like wasps.
This kind of sinister evil spirit has no brains and relies entirely on instinct to drive its actions. It may not even be able to compare with ordinary beasts. But it is precisely because of this that they have no confusion or timidity at all, and they do not consider who the enemy is or whether they have the ability to deal with it.
Facing the crazy influx of sinister demons, Ye Zan was naturally unceremonious. He turned to a large platform on the side of the fortress and shouted: "Stop sleeping, get up and work! I have been sleeping for thousands of years. Still sleeping!”
The platform of the War Fortress is a bit like a super-large helipad. It could have been a square used by the demons from outside the world to hold war mobilization rallies. And now, there is a big guy like a hill lying on the platform square, it is the crypt lord who was subdued by Ye Zan.
Previously, in the underworld, when the ascetics fought against the demons from outside the world, there was no influence of the crypt lord on the battlefield. It was because this guy dug a hole to bury himself in a moment, and then dug holes all the way to the edge of the battlefield. If it weren't for the fact that the Zerg Queen was here, Ye Zan might not even be able to find its shadow in the end.
When everything was over, Ye Zan came back with the war fortress and received all the powerful people who came to ask for messages. It wasn't until it was time to leave that the crypt lord came out of the ground and asked Ye Zan to take him to the war fortress and place him in the platform-like square.
Although this crypt lord is quite timid, with his strong defense, he has a strength close to the Dharma level. Therefore, when Daozu Xuanyuan left and the Yuqing Sect had no powerful people in charge, Ye Zan naturally would not let such a powerful person go.
Hearing Ye Zan's shout, the crypt lord turned his head and looked here, straightened up and stretched as if waking up from a big dream, and then lazily waved his sickle towards the incoming evil demons. arm. Suddenly, countless small beetles flew out from under its back armor like a black mist, and swept towards the evil spirits.
Ye Zan specifically asked Xuanyuan Daozu about the definition of demons outside the world as a cultivator. After all, Ye Zan himself can be regarded as a visitor from outside the world. If the ascetics regard all outsiders as evil spirits, then his status will be embarrassing.
Fortunately, the monks have a relatively clear definition of evil spirits outside the world, and have no intention of expanding the scope of their attack. What they call extraterrestrial evil spirits refers specifically to the group of people who claim to be wizards, not all extraterrestrials. For example, the giant tree in the Arctic Immortal Palace came from outside the monastic world like Ye Zan, but Taoist Xuanqing still planted it in the Arctic Immortal Palace.
There is a saying that goes, the enemy of your enemy is your friend.
The world where that giant tree was originally located was destroyed in the hands of wizards, so it had a "bloody feud" with the wizarding world. The world of monasticism is confronting the world of wizards. The ancient war even caused the world to break apart, and they share the same fate as the giant tree. Naturally, on the side of the ascetics, the giant tree will not be regarded as an extraterrestrial evil spirit, but as an existence similar to an ally.
This is also the reason why Ye Zan and others were able to obtain leaves from the giant tree when they first visited the Immortal Palace.
There is also the bloodline of the Western Dragon in Shi Lin. The world where the Western Dragon is located has also been captured by wizards and has become a subsidiary world of the wizard world. And in the bloodline of this giant western dragon, there is hidden hatred for the wizarding world, so he was favored by the giant tree and gave him so many leaves.
Speaking of the Crypt Lord, Daozu Xuanyuan has had contact with Xianting and has a certain understanding of information about the wizarding world. Therefore, Ye Zan also learned something about the origin of this crypt lord from Xuanyuan Daozu. Although this Crypt Lord is what was left behind when wizards invaded this world in ancient times and retreated, he was born in a world called the Abyss that is opposite to the wizarding world.
Compared with the wizarding world, the overall strength of the world called the Abyss can be said to be on par. The two sides are just like the world of monks and the world of wizards. They have been attacking each other and fighting fiercely for tens of thousands of years. Generally speaking, they both win and lose. In order to increase its strength, the wizarding world fought against the abyss world while desperately occupying other worlds in order to obtain more resources. Unexpectedly, it provoked the monastic world again.
However, the strength of the wizarding world is indeed strong. Even though it is fighting against the abyss world there, it is still smashing the monastic world to pieces. If there was no abyss world and the wizard world used all its strength to deal with the monastic world, the outcome of the ancient battle between immortals and demons would be unimaginable.
It is precisely because of this that the monastic world does not dare to expand its attack randomly, but instead tries to find ways to "unite all forces that can be united."
Back to the Crypt Lord. Even though it looks like a beetle, it doesn't really eat leaves like a beetle, but feeds on the so-called Yin Qi and evil spirits. It is precisely because of this that it has not only been able to live in this underworld for such a long time, but also has a strength close to the Dharma level.
It is said that the abyss world is a place similar to the underworld, full of all kinds of evil thoughts and sinister atmosphere. That atmosphere may be called the abyss atmosphere. All creatures in the abyss world do not necessarily feed on the abyss breath, but they must be extremely dependent on the abyss breath in terms of living environment. Just like human beings are extremely dependent on oxygen and cannot survive without oxygen.
But now, facing those sinister demons, what the crypt lord sees is not enemies, but simply delicious meals. You know, in the underworld, although the yin energy is extremely strong, the taste is still a bit monotonous. The crypt lord has long wanted to taste something else.
I saw the black mist composed of countless small beetles, buzzing out from the Crypt Lord, like a black hurricane sweeping towards the evil demon. Those evil spirits didn't think anything of it at first, but when they were sucked into the black hurricane, they realized something was wrong but it was already too late.
Of course, the Yinsha demons have no thinking, so even if they face such a desperate situation, no one will retreat even half a step. They are still like moths rushing to the flame, constantly taking the initiative to plunge into the black hurricane. This flattered the crypt lord. Those little beetles were its incarnation, so the evil demons took the initiative to feed it into its mouth without any effort at all.
In the blink of an eye, the black hurricane composed of countless small beetles surrounded the war fortress, sweeping away the incoming evil spirits. It's not that other Yinsha demons are afraid, but that a large number of Yinsha demons are rushing towards and being devoured, resulting in a blank area, and the Yinsha demons in the distance haven't had time to rush over yet.
At this time, Ye Zan was not idle either. He raised his hand and threw out a long whip. It was the all-encompassing long whip that Lord Linghua asked him to bring back. This all-things long whip flew into the air and transformed into stepped stone tablets. The artistic conception of the great avenue surged out from the stone tablets and swept towards the surroundings of Tiandao Mountain.
Under the cleaning of these great avenues, the evil spirits around Tiandao Mountain were all swept away, and the sky above their heads actually saw the sky.
