#460 - Soul Breaker and Demon Realm (2 in 1 order required)
After a heart-stopping final battle, the underground battlefield fell into a deathly silence.
Qin Huan slowly stood up, surveying the devastated scene around him. Everywhere was filled with broken walls and ruins, almost unrecognizable. Even the air was still thick with a pungent, burning smell.
"Brother... Father..." Qin Huan took difficult steps towards the two bodies in the center.
They were the remains of Qin Han and the Nightmare Demon, embracing and perishing together. Qin Han's spiritual body had exhausted its last bit of strength in the fierce battle, reverting to a flesh and blood body. The terrifying Nightmare Demon was finally strangled to death by him, turning into a pool of black smoke.
Now, these two brothers could finally be freed from the nightmare of that demon and get a chance to start over. It was just a pity that they had paid such a heavy price.
Qin Huan's knees buckled, and he collapsed on the ground, tightly embracing the two cold corpses, tears finally streaming down his face.
"I'm sorry... Brother, Father..." He choked out, trembling, "I was too weak, unable to make the decision to get rid of that demon. If I had acted in time, perhaps this wouldn't have happened today."
Just as Qin Huan was grieving, footsteps suddenly came from behind him. A familiar figure slowly approached, it was Zhong Wu Ye.
"Huan'er, let me handle the funeral arrangements for you." Zhong Wu Ye said softly, "Your family has paid too much of a price."
As she spoke, Zhong Wu Ye waved her hands, and a raging flame immediately rose, enveloping the two bodies.
"This is rebirth from fire, and also a ritual to completely deliver their souls." Zhong Wu Ye lowered her head slightly, speaking earnestly, "Your family has paid too much for the Divine Saber Sect and the martial world, it's time to be free."
Qin Huan nodded silently, his young face appearing unusually mature and resolute in the firelight.
As Zhong Wu Ye's magic circulated, the raging fire continued to burn until the bodies turned to ashes. The fire gradually died down, finally leaving only wisps of green smoke rising slowly.
Qin Huan took a deep breath, exhaling the stale air. He felt an unspeakable relief, as if a heavy burden had finally been lifted.
"Huan'er, I'm truly sorry." Zhong Wu Ye sighed, "If I had noticed the clues in time, perhaps this wouldn't have happened. What are you going to do now?"
"Don't blame yourself, Miss Zhong Wu Ye." Qin Huan stood up and patted Zhong Wu Ye's shoulder. "This was our family's destiny to experience and bear. Now I can finally be free."
He looked around at the broken underground, his eyes firm and persistent: "I will pick myself up and find my own new path. Not for any sect, not for any family, but only to live for myself. It's time to start a new life."
Zhong Wu Ye nodded, expressing her approval of Qin Huan's determination. As she turned around, Qin Huan took one last deep look, silently saying "Goodbye" to his brother and father in his heart.
Then, he strode out firmly, without looking back, leaving this underground space. The road ahead was still long, but he was ready to embark on a new journey.
...
Passing through the secret passages buried deep beneath the Divine Saber Sect, Zhong Wu Ye finally arrived at a strange and eerie place - the entrance to the Soul Severing Realm.
This was a huge natural cave, the entrance sealed by an ancient stone door. The surface of the stone door was covered with mottled cracks, seemingly ready to collapse at any moment. On both sides of the stone door were carved countless terrifying demonic patterns, and one could faintly feel the residual dark aura within.
"This is the entrance to the Demon Realm." Zhong Wu Ye muttered with a solemn expression, "If it is not controlled, I am afraid the entire martial world will fall into a huge disaster."
As soon as she finished speaking, the stone door suddenly trembled! Then, a terrifying "crack" sound came out, and the cracks on the stone door burst open, as if a violent force was violently propping it open from the inside!
Zhong Wu Ye immediately glanced over vigilantly, clasping her hands together to form a magic seal, ready to fight at any time.
At this moment, from the cracks in the stone door, streams of thick, black, and foul-smelling smoke began to gradually overflow. Those black smoke seemed to have their own consciousness, constantly swirling, twisting, and changing in the air!
Immediately afterwards, from those black smoke, strange figures slowly condensed and emerged. These horrifying existences, without exception, all turned into terrifying forms: some were monsters covered in barbs and fangs, some were zombies with broken bones and disfigured faces, and some were even wrapped in strange tentacles, forming strange and bizarre monsters!
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..." These monsters let out bursts of ear-piercing and strange hissing, their eyes revealing a hot and greedy red light, like bloodthirsty beasts. But soon, they discovered Zhong Wu Ye's presence, and immediately focused their gazes on her, faintly revealing an attacking stance!
"Here they come!" Zhong Wu Ye took a deep breath, forming a set of magic seals with her hands, and a dazzling golden light burst forth from her body!
At this moment, a huge monster suddenly opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a cloud of pitch-black poisonous mist. After the poisonous mist gradually dissipated, countless sharp black shackles were revealed, twisting and dancing wildly, making crackling sounds!
"Break!" Zhong Wu Ye shouted, using her magic power to shatter those black shackles into pieces. But at this moment, countless monsters had already pounced on her, surrounding her!
Zhong Wu Ye roared again and again, casting a set of terrifying demon-subduing spells, and the rolling golden light exploded wildly in the air, wounding and killing those monsters! But at this moment, hundreds of monsters poured out from the cracks in the stone door, and in the blink of an eye, they had surrounded her again!
"No wonder that Nightmare Demon was so powerful back then!" Zhong Wu Ye's face was ashen, and she sighed inwardly, "It turns out that it absorbed the power of the entire Demon Realm!"
Her eyes narrowed, and the golden light on her body became even more intense, and her whole person suddenly transformed into a golden and dazzling Dharma body. This Dharma body was shrouded in rolling, violent golden flames, and let out a deafening roar, rushing towards those monsters!
"Rumble!" Tens of thousands of Nightmare Demons were instantly enveloped by this monstrous and violent energy, and let out screams of misery! Some of them were burned to ashes, while others were blown away by the flames, and smashed heavily against the surrounding rock walls!
Even so, these monsters were still constantly pouring out from the cracks in the stone door, surrounding the Dharma body! Although the Dharma body injured and killed many of them each time, their numbers were endless and could not be completely eliminated!
Just as Zhong Wu Ye was almost exhausted, suddenly, her Dharma body shook violently, and the golden light on her body suddenly burst open, turning into thousands of golden threads, covering the entire natural cave!
"Boom!!!" A terrifying roar came out, and the entire cave shook violently. The hard rocks shattered and peeled off, and finally the entire top of the cave collapsed, burying everything inside under countless rubble!
At this moment, a faint golden light burst out from the pile of rubble, turning into Zhong Wu Ye's figure. She was covered in embarrassment, her hair disheveled, and she was covered in injuries.
But at this moment, streams of black smoke once again slowly seeped out from the pile of rubble! Zhong Wu Ye's eyes narrowed, and she immediately condensed her last divine power, suppressing the black smoke and temporarily preventing it from continuing to spread.
"Damn it... It seems that I must immediately destroy this cave and completely seal the passage between the Demon Realm and the human world!" Zhong Wu Ye's face was solemn.
...
Just as Zhong Wu Ye was eager to block the entrance to the Demon Realm, suddenly, bursts of clear Sanskrit chanting came from a distance. Immediately afterwards, rows of monks came in an orderly formation, it was the high monk formation of the Compassionate Relief Temple.
The leader was Abbot Mingru of the Compassionate Relief Temple. He was wearing a dark blue kasaya, and his face was solemn and solemn. When he looked at the Nightmare Demons pouring out from the Demon Realm, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately transformed into a tall Tathagata Buddha statue!
"Pa pa pa!" Abbot Mingru formed a hand seal, and rolling energy fluctuations burst out from his body, and in the blink of an eye, they enveloped him.
"Do no evil, do all good!" The Buddha statue shone brightly with golden light, and slowly uttered the Buddha's name from his mouth. The energy fluctuations began to condense continuously, gradually turning into countless golden prayer beads!
These prayer beads flowed and swirled in the air, gathering more and more, and finally, in Abbot Mingru's Buddha's name, they suddenly burst out with thousands of golden lights, shooting wildly towards those Nightmare Demons!
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" The Nightmare Demons let out miserable hisses, and opened their bloody mouths, spewing out countless black poisonous mists and black rays, trying to resist the impact of this golden light.
But the golden light was too bright and terrifying, and it actually pierced through all the black mist and black rays! In the blink of an eye, countless Nightmare Demons were shot through, making miserable hissing sounds, and dissipating into black smoke.
With Abbot Mingru's coordinated offensive, the high monks of the Compassionate Relief Temple also took action. An old man with white hair suddenly slapped out a palm, and a majestic snow mountain emerged, pressing down on the Nightmare Demons!
A middle-aged monk with a black beard clasped his hands together, chanting scriptures like crazy, and a terrifying thunder dragon emerged, emitting crackling lightning, shooting thousands of electric rays towards the Nightmare Demons!
Another young monk in a red robe even poured his inner strength into his palms, raised them high, and condensed a scorching red sun in mid-air, shooting out golden light from afar!
In this way, under the leadership of Abbot Mingru, the high monks of the Compassionate Relief Temple descended from the sky like gods, and all of them displayed shocking secret techniques, injuring and killing most of the Nightmare Demons!
"Roar!" A huge Nightmare Demon roared fiercely, and opened its bloody mouth, spewing out a terrifying black fire!
"Be careful!" A high monk shouted, and used the prayer beads in his hand to intercept the black fire. But at this moment, another even bigger Nightmare Demon opened its fangs and bit at him!
Seeing the high monks retreating steadily, Zhong Wu Ye immediately waved her hand, and forcibly sealed the Nightmare Demon's fangs in mid-air! But at this moment, more Nightmare Demons poured up, surrounding them!
"Sect Leader Zhong, retreat quickly! Leave this to us!" Seeing this, Abbot Mingru immediately shouted, and burst the golden light of the Buddha statue to the extreme.
The golden light suddenly exploded, turning into thousands of brilliant and dazzling golden dragons, roaring and pouncing on the Nightmare Demons! These golden dragons rolled and twisted, and instantly devoured most of the Nightmare Demons alive!
"Thank you for the great help from the Compassionate Relief Temple!" Seeing this, Zhong Wu Ye quickly clasped her fist and bowed, "But the situation here is much more serious than imagined. Let's work together to seal this entrance!"
"Oh? What's the wonderful idea?" Abbot Mingru shook his head, his tone quite peaceful, "Sect Leader Zhong, don't be too hasty. We will definitely do our best to help, but this matter cannot be rushed."
"Look, this is not the entrance to the Demon Realm, but the passage between the human and demon worlds." Abbot Mingru pointed with both hands, and under their feet, there was a deep and dark tunnel leading to the distance.
"Could it be... that there is another world besides the Demon Realm?" Zhong Wu Ye widened her eyes, her face full of horror.
"That's not known." Abbot Mingru smiled slightly, "Why don't you come back to Ci Yin Temple with us, maybe you can find some clues?"
The latest novel is first published on Six Nine Book Bar!
Zhong Wu Ye pondered for a moment, and finally nodded. When he came back to his senses, he saw that the remains of those Nightmare Demons had been completely removed by the high monks, and although the tunnel was temporarily sealed, there was still a strange spiritual energy flowing.
...
Everyone returned to Ci Yin Temple,
After saying goodbye to the high monks of the Compassionate Relief Temple, Zhong Wu Ye soon followed Abbot Mingru's footsteps and arrived at Ci Yin Temple, located in the hinterland of the northern suburban mountains. This magnificent temple has a quiet environment, antique and antique, which immediately makes people feel a sense of tranquility bathed in Zen.
When Zhong Wu Ye stepped into the main hall of the temple, he saw an old monk with white hair sitting there in meditation. This is Abbot Mingjue of Ci Yin Temple. His eyes were slightly closed, his face peaceful, like a solemn and solemn Tathagata Buddha statue.
With a "pa" sound, Abbot Mingru clapped his hands slightly, and Abbot Mingjue opened his eyes and slowly stood up. His eyes were like torches, and when he looked at Zhong Wu Ye, he could not help but give people an unspeakable sense of majesty and wisdom.
"Miss Zhong, our Ci Yin Temple has always had close ties with the Divine Saber Sect and the Privy Council." Abbot Mingjue said with a smile, "Now that you have encountered such a disaster, you should get our support."
After Zhong Wu Ye rested slightly under Abbot Mingjue's arrangement, Mingjue invited her to a quiet small courtyard and began to solve her doubts.
"In fact, we have been closely following the movements of the Demon Realm over the years." Mingjue said hoarsely, "The entrance you saw is not the only passage to the Demon Realm. In fact, the so-called 'Demon Realm' is just a part of another vast world."
Zhong Wu Ye nodded, signaling Mingjue to continue.
"We speculate that the entire Kyushu Continent is now bound by a mysterious force, forming a vast barrier." Mingjue clasped his hands together and slowly opened his mouth, "And this force is an amplified version of the evil magic circle that Blood Rose used in Chang'an City back then."
"What?" Zhong Wu Ye was startled and her face changed drastically.
"That's right, which is why we have been secretly monitoring the movements of both North Zhou and Da Yuan over the years," Mingjue slowly nodded, speaking earnestly. "In fact, the wars between them are the result of someone instigating and stirring up trouble from behind the scenes."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mingjue suddenly stood up, opened the window behind him, and squinted his eyes to look into the distance. He saw thick, dark clouds rolling in the sky, forming a terrifying scene.
"Do you see that? Whenever war is about to break out and lives are being destroyed, a large number of wandering souls will inevitably surge towards the Soul Severing Realm," Mingjue said with a grave tone.
"This is precisely what we are most worried about. Because far away in the Demon Realm, the Jiuli Tribe is secretly brewing some kind of conspiracy. And the Blood Rose Organization is likely to be their spies and confidants in the human world!"
Speaking to this point, a trace of solemnity and worry finally appeared in Mingjue's eyes. Zhong Wuye's heart sank, and he finally realized that the danger he was facing was so severe and terrifying!
