Chapter 646 Enemies meet
Upon seeing that it was the Water Venerable, Lu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine.
It turns out that this demon has come down. It seems that this guy won't give up until I'm dead!
But this was not the time to think about such things. He suddenly accelerated, his Azure Phoenix Demon Body's wings whipping up gusts of wind. He first passed over the demon guards, and then tried to rush past the Water Venerable.
The Water Venerable was initially startled when he discovered Lu Yuan's transformed Azure Phoenix demon, but he was, after all, a mediating Demon Venerable. He immediately realized what was happening the moment the two passed each other.
Seeing Lu Yuan trying to run away, he coldly shouted, "Where do you think you're going!"
With a sudden wave of his hands, countless black demonic lights filled the passage and swept towards Lu Yuan.
Upon seeing this, Lu Yuan suddenly turned around, and a layer of azure light emanated from the wings of his Azure Phoenix Demon Body. The light split into countless fine azure rays, which shot towards the black demonic light like sharp arrows, preparing to tear a path through the black demonic light.
"You're courting death!" A fierce glint flashed in Venerable Water's eyes, for he had already discerned that Lu Yuan's Azure Phoenix Demon Body was merely at the late stage of the Demonic Sect.
Driven by the Water Venerable's demonic power, the black demonic light surged even more fiercely, almost instantly engulfing the azure light.
With no obstruction, the black demonic light surged towards Lu Yuan, tearing him apart. In the blink of an eye, Lu Yuan's Azure Phoenix demon body was riddled with wounds.
They underestimated the strength of a mid-level demon lord.
This was without him using any magical artifacts. If he had been given time to unleash the 'Illusion Mirror,' Lu Yuan would probably already be doomed.
Lu Yuan felt a pang of regret, but he refused to give up. He endured the pain, flapped his wings fiercely, and used the momentum of the impact to break through the encirclement of the demonic light.
However, due to the severity of his injuries, Lu Yuan could no longer maintain his Azure Phoenix demon form and reverted to his original appearance.
"It's you!" When the Water Venerable saw Lu Yuan's face, his eyes widened in fury, and his demonic energy surged as he once again unleashed his demonic light to strangle Lu Yuan.
However, Lu Yuan was already close to the exit and was about to escape.
The Water Venerable was extremely anxious and roared towards the top of the passage, "Stop him!"
The Blue Venerable outside the passage was already at his limit in order to maintain the passage.
He realized that a fierce battle was taking place inside the passage as soon as he heard the booming and cracking sounds coming from below. At that time, he was already forcibly maintaining the passage despite the depletion of his magical power.
If the passage collapses, the Water Venerable and his party will be corrupted by the evil energy within the canyon, with unimaginable consequences.
At the same time as they heard the Water Venerable's roar, Lu Yuan's figure appeared at the edge of the passage.
Without time to think it through, Venerable Lan raised his hand and slapped Lu Yuan.
Even without the Water Venerable's influence, he couldn't let someone who had been in the underground palace for over ten years leave.
Even though his magic power is currently insufficient, he is still confident that he can defeat Lu Yuan, who is in the late stage of the Demon Sect.
At this moment, Lu Yuan was attacked from both above and below, with nowhere to hide, and was about to be captured.
Then, a surge of demonic energy erupted from his body, and a stone figure tens of feet tall suddenly appeared, swinging its fists and smashing them fiercely at Venerable Blue.
This stone figure possessed astonishing strength; wherever its fists passed, the air exploded and crackled.
The Blue Venerable was already exhausted, and under the fierce pounding of the stone man, his body was sent flying backward.
As the Blue Venerable was sent flying, the passage he had created using his magical artifacts instantly collapsed, allowing the purple mist, mixed with the evil energy of the Mother of the Moths, to surge in. Seeing this, the Water Venerable roared and forcefully channeled his magic to try and stabilize the passage, but it was too late. The purple mist rapidly spread, and the demon guards screamed in agony.
"You surnamed Lu, you can't escape!" Venerable Water roared, his eyes filled with anger and resentment.
"Hmph, you'd better worry about your own life first!"
A mocking voice came from the stone man's mouth, and then a phantom image of the stone totem, hundreds of feet tall, appeared. Under the glow of multicolored light, it instantly disappeared from the spot along with the stone man.
"Stone Lun Totem, Teleportation Power!"
Elder Lan, who rushed over, was shocked. He knew he could not catch up and could only save Venerable Shui and the others who were being afflicted by evil energy.
......
More than ten years later.
Demon Wind Plains is an inconspicuous place within the territory of the Holy Ancestor of the Underworld, named for the cold, demonic winds that blow there year-round.
This place is all barren yellow earth and slopes, with few trees or rivers, so there are very few demonic cultivators here. So much so that the forces under the Earthly Ancestor are too lazy to send anyone to take over this area.
However, this is relative. Deep within the Demon Wind Plains lies a valley called Demon Wind Valley. The demonic winds that ravage the wasteland year-round originate from this place.
The demonic energy within Demon Wind Valley is quite pure, sufficient to meet the daily needs of a Divine General level cultivator, and even barely adequate for some early-stage Demonic Masters with modest requirements.
In addition, due to its location at the source of the demonic wind, this place has also produced a special material called 'Yin Wind Stone' under the constant erosion of the demonic wind. This material is quite important for setting up earth-type or wind-type formations.
Therefore, despite the harsh environment, the lack of supervision from major powers means that it still attracts demons with considerable cultivation from time to time to fight for it.
Conflicts naturally occur frequently in this area.
Just over a hundred years ago, three high-ranking demonic cultivators took a liking to this place.
At that time, the area was occupied by a force with a mid-stage Demonic Sect master in charge. The three demons were all at the early stage of Demonic Sect cultivation, and none of them could defeat the master in a one-on-one fight. Therefore, the three demons joined forces and killed the mid-stage Demonic Sect master. Demon Wind Valley was thus divided into three parts and jointly controlled by them.
This continued until more than a decade ago, when merchants traveling to and from Demonwind Valley suddenly discovered that the three forces occupying Demonwind Valley were all on high alert and had jointly sealed off the entire valley.
Initially, the outside world thought that someone else had their eye on this place, and a fierce battle was about to break out.
However, more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and there has never been any news of conflict in Demon Wind Valley. The three major powers are still in charge.
The only difference is that the 'Yin Wind Stone,' which was originally available for anyone to purchase at any time, has been changed over the past ten years to be sold only to a few designated merchants, and they are only allowed to go once every six months. It seems that these three forces do not want too many people to enter or stay in Demon Wind Valley.
The unusual actions of these three forces naturally sparked much speculation. Some said that a great treasure was hidden in the valley, and the three forces wanted to seize it all; others claimed that the leaders of the three forces were no longer in the valley, and this action was to cover up the truth.
Regardless, the anomalies in Demon Wind Valley have become a hot topic of private discussion among people in the surrounding areas. Many forces that have designs on Demon Wind Valley are secretly watching the situation there, seemingly waiting for the right opportunity to take action.
