n“Kid, weren’t you so arrogant just now? Why can’t you even defeat some simple human soldiers? If you can’t even solve this problem, how can you say that you can kill me? I think your strength is still far from enough. You should stay behind and be used as nourishment.”

n

nIn the sky, the mocking voice sounded again. That person laughed very exaggeratedly. As he laughed, he waved the very thick black fog in the sky, forming a very large vortex above Li Yuanqing’s head.

n

nEndless Netherworld power flowed out of the vortex and gathered in the trees below.

n

nThe blade-like leaves on those small trees could perfectly absorb this power and gather it at their roots, circulating throughout the network. No matter which part Li Yuanqing attacked, the other parts could bear a huge force together. Moreover, this huge net was still expanding.

n

nLi Yuanqing kicked the ground and sent his body into the air, staring down carefully.

n

nFrom the surface, the pattern looked much simpler. These trees relied on their roots to perfectly restore an array formation.

n

nThere were thick traces of humans on this array formation, and the way it was arranged was quite similar to the array formation described by ancient sages in the array formation book.

n

nFrom the looks of it, the array formation that united these trees and formed a huge power should have been left behind by the humans. However, this array formation was very complicated. Even Li Yuanqing had never seen such a detailed array formation before.

n

nHowever, who was Li Yuanqing? His attainments in array formations could be said to be unparalleled in the world today. Even in the past, he would not be able to find a match. Now that such an array formation was in his eyes, although it was a little difficult, he could find a flaw in it in a short period of time.

n

nThe flaw in this array formation was behind Li Yuanqing.

n

nLi Yuanqing stared fixedly at the depths of the valley. He pretended not to notice anything as his body slowly retreated back to where he came from.

n

nThe forest seemed to have realized that Li Yuanqing was about to escape. It immediately sent out a large number of skeleton soldiers from the black fog and blocked him.

n

nThe number of skeleton soldiers coming from behind was very shocking.

n

nLi Yuanqing waved the golden rod in his hand and repelled these people wave after wave. Although their resistance was very powerful, their strength was still lacking. It was difficult for them to cause any substantial damage to Li Yuanqing in a short period of time.

n

n“Kid, don’t waste your effort. This is an array formation designed by the top array formation masters of your human race in the past. I’m afraid you won’t even recognize it, let alone crack it in such a short period of time.”

n

nThat person suddenly jumped out and said to Li Yuanqing mockingly.

n

n“Instead of thinking about how to escape at a time like this, why don’t you think about how to rush out? If you’re interested, I’ll be kind and let you out.”

n

nHowever, no matter what he said, Li Yuanqing had no intention of being tempted at all. He still waved the golden rod very stubbornly and broke out behind him.

n

nInitially, that person thought that Li Yuanqing only wanted to escape. However, the more he thought about it, the more worried he became. Li Yuanqing did not look like he was escaping at all. He had clearly grasped something.

n

nThe number of evil spirits that ran out of the black fog gradually increased. The evil spirits that were already injured behind them also risked their lives to stop Li Yuanqing.

n

nLi Yuanqing took this opportunity to strike their armor one by one, causing the injured evil spirits to be destroyed, causing a certain level of casualties. Even so, they still pounced towards Li Yuanqing.

n

n“You human kid, you really have some ability to see through this step!”

n

nAs soon as he finished speaking, the evil spirits rushed towards Li Yuanqing as if they had gone crazy.

n

nLi Yuanqing took out a big rod and swept it out in a circle, sending all the evil spirits beside him flying. He took a step forward. He stabbed the golden rod in his hand heavily at an empty space. This empty space looked very ordinary, as if there was nothing special about it. There was even no intersection of roots.

n

nHowever, when Li Yuanqing stabbed down, an invisible force erupted with this point as the center and spread out. Wherever this light wave touched, the originally lively and very spiritual trees suddenly seemed to have turned into wood. They became lifeless and stood there motionless.

n

nThe formation they had set up just now had disappeared. All of them were stationed on the ground under their feet and could no longer move.

n

nThe evil spirits, who were originally in high spirits, suddenly seemed to have lost their power. Their movements began to slow down. The injuries they had already suffered kept erupting, making them unable to maintain their current movement.

n

nLi Yuanqing suddenly pulled out the golden rod again and waved it heavily in all directions, sweeping away all these evil spirits. Even the forest was turned into ruins under this powerful might.

n

nAfter the forest was cut, a stone platform covered in moss was revealed. This small platform was not tall, only three steps tall. In the middle of the small platform was a Eight Trigrams-shaped bulge with a lid on it.

n

nThere were many small circular jars around the eight-trigram-shaped protrusion. Those small circular jars were very strange and sinister, like urns.

n

nLi Yuanqing arrived and the voice in front of the small platform sounded again.

n

n“I really didn’t expect that there would be such a powerful human in this era who is proficient in array formations. I’m afraid you’re several times stronger than your seniors.”

n

n“Now that I’ve dealt with these evil spirits, shouldn’t you tell me what you have here?”

n

n“Hahaha!” That person suddenly laughed out loud. “You human kid, your words are really strange. However, you humans are indeed like this. After all, humans’ memories are bad. You always do some contradictory things. It’s very strange.”

n

n“Don’t say useless things. I think you’re hiding under this well.”

n

n“So what? In any case, you don’t dare open this well. It’s useless to say these words as if you’re so brave.”

n

nLi Yuanqing walked up to the stage and suddenly felt a calling in his heart.

n

nThose calls seemed to come from these round jars. These round jars looked inconspicuous, and many of them were already dim. However, they seemed to have some kind of soul connection with Li Yuanqing and kept calling him.

n

nIt was a sound that stopped him.

n

nLi Yuanqing walked up the small platform and arrived in front of the eight trigrams well. The well was covered with a black millstone with dense patterns engraved on it.

n

nSuch a small disc was covered in a very powerful array formation. Even after so many years, this array formation was still constantly emitting waves of power towards the outside, indicating his previous extraordinary power.

n

nThe interface of this huge millstone was sealed with two scarlet seals. On them were some strange lines.

n

n“Come on, open it. You’re already here. Why don’t you destroy this crystal that symbolizes power? As long as you destroy this well, I won’t exist anymore!”

n

nThe demon-like whisper whispered in Li Yuanqing’s ear again.

n

n“Hurry up and open it. There’s everything you want in this well. There’s the answer you want!”

n

nHe was so eager. He wanted Li Yuanqing to open up this well. It was as if his desire to die was so urgent.

n

nHowever, the small jars at the side seemed to be stopping Li Yuanqing again and again.

n

nLi Yuanqing pulled out a short knife and firmly cut under the circular millstone, removing everything sealed at the side.

n

nThe moment the two seals were broken, the red color on them could no longer be maintained. It directly became dim. In the blink of an eye, it turned into pieces that fell to the ground. Before it touched the ground, it had already turned to ashes.

n

nAn extremely powerful force rushed out of the well. The huge millstone emitted an intense light, as if it wanted to try its best to suppress the power below. But after the power structure was broken, a millstone could no longer maintain the pressure on it.

n

nA cold wind soared into the sky and shattered the huge millstone. After thousands of years of power, it was no longer as powerful as before.

n

nThe energy in this sound domain simply turned corporeal. It was like a black pillar of water rising into the sky. The two sides gathered together in the black tornado formed by the dark clouds in the sky.

n

nThe cold wind roared at the gloomy liquid and kept splashing it, releasing the bitterness and hatred from being imprisoned for thousands of years.

n

nIn the small jars, a few jars that were still flickering with light suddenly exploded, and a few very bright lights jumped out. These round jars actually contained the souls of human sages. They were trapped here, locked with these demons for thousands of years, forever in this canyon where they could not see the light of day.

n

nHowever, at this moment, they woke up again under the wind and turned into heroic knights that filled the sky. They wore golden armor and held long sabers that flickered with holy light as they stood on the four sides of the tornado.

n

n“Ah!”

n

nAn extremely miserable scream came from the thickening tornado.

n

nThis tornado almost absorbed all the water in the well below. It was as if it had turned into a corporeal tornado giant. It was very terrifying.

n

nThis scream contained a huge amount of power that gathered in all directions and instantly enveloped the heroic spirits of these humans.

n

nThese human heroic spirits looked majestic, but they were torn apart by this sharp scream and turned into fragments that filled the sky. Only a little light was left as they slowly dissipated in midair.

n

nThey were killed just like that, leaving nothing behind. This time, all the ponds turned gray, and they had all cracked.

n

nThere was only one empty well left on the small platform.

n

nLi Yuanqing looked up at the tornado that covered half the sky and felt a little worried. He gently stroked the Blood Vine in his sleeve. Just now, it was the Blood Vine who had released a very strong desire to open this well. That was why he had removed the seal.

n

nEven he did not expect that the power that emerged from the well after the seal was opened would be so powerful. It did not feel easy to deal with this level.

n

n“Kid, you’re really stupid. Your seniors spent decades and painstaking efforts to seal these demons here, but you only spent a short while to release them all!”

n

nThe black shadow appeared again, but this time, it was not hidden in the black fog. This was because the black fog had already been sucked dry by the tornado in the sky. For a moment, a clean area appeared below.

n

nThis fellow only had one form, like a spirit body. There was nothing else. He stood beside Li Yuanqing and mocked him proudly.

n

n“Who are you? You don’t look like you’re with them.”

n

nThis person’s non-existent eyes carefully sized up Li Yuanqing for a long time. He said in approval, “You, a human kid, are quite different from the others. You’re so calm and composed that even such a scene can’t make you afraid.

n

n“But even if you’re not afraid, what’s the use? You released the demons, not only will the humans who step into this place die, but even the creatures in the entire Demon Realm will be plunged into misery and suffering. All of this was caused by you!”

n

nHe spoke excitedly like a monkey that had escaped from a cage. He jumped up and down and moved around the platform.

n

n“I knew that such a day would come. I’ve already endured enough of your human race’s old things! But they torture me every day and second, thinking of stuffing these… disgusting things into my head!”

n
