That was a giant stone Altar. On the Altar, there were many huge, ancient stone pillars. The stone pillars were stained with the vicissitudes of time, and there were many mottled black spots on them, exuding an indescribable eerie aura.
At this moment, on the giant stone Altar, Yuan Cang, Lei Qian, Ling Zhen, and many elite disciples of Yuan Gate were all present.
Beneath the crimson sky, the ancient Altar presented an eerie black color. This blackness made ordinary people very uncomfortable, but it made Yuan Cang, Ling Zhen, and others reveal a burst of comfort.
"Such rich Otherworldly Demonic Qi, it seems that the lord below is about to break through to King-level."
Feeling the noble and powerful Otherworldly Demonic Qi, a hint of desire flashed across Yuan Cang's face, followed by a strong surprise.
Yuan Cang did not expect that the Otherworldly Demon below would bring them unexpected gains. If a General-level Otherworldly Demon gave Yuan Cang the confidence to protect himself and also gave Yuan Cang the confidence to kill Lin Xuan and Ling Qingzhu together, then an Otherworldly Demon about to break through to King-level gave Yuan Cang absolute confidence.
It could be said that a General-level Otherworldly Demon facing the Sword Saint and the reincarnated Ice Master was an advantage, but now, this General-level Otherworldly Demon was about to break through to King-level, which was no longer an advantage, but an absolute victory. There was no way to lose!
"Yuan Senior, let's release this lord as soon as possible. I always feel a chill down my back. Don't wait for that madman to come over with people!"
Lei Qian moved his shoulders uncomfortably, his voice carrying a bit of panic and unease. He always felt like there was a gaze staring at him in the dark, making Lei Qian feel flustered.
Ling Zhen, who was on the side, also echoed, not only Lei Qian, but Ling Zhen was also similar, always feeling a little uneasy in his heart, as if something big was about to happen.
"That's right, Yuan Senior, let's do it as soon as possible, lest there be complications!"
Ling Zhen's worries were not unreasonable. After all, that madman was now in the same formation space as them. If that madman came to their door, they would definitely not have a good time.
At the moment, Yuan Cang no longer hesitated, and floated to the top of the Altar. Lei Qian and Ling Zhen also quickly floated up. The three of them stood in the air, and cast out powerful and thick Origin Power, and then, all poured it into the Altar stone pillars.
"Boom! Boom!"
As the Origin Power poured into the stone pillars, the giant stone Altar began to emit bursts of roaring sounds. Then, the giant stones on the entire Altar began to wriggle, and a strong red light was released from the bottom of the Altar.
Seeing this, Yuan Cang, Ling Zhen, and Lei Qian couldn't help but flash a hint of joy in their eyes. Looking at the situation, they had already opened the seal. Next, they just needed to destroy the sealing formation and release that lord.
Red light pillars shot out from under the Altar, and soon intertwined in the sky, forming a huge formation, wrapping the entire Altar.
Seeing that they had fallen into the formation, Yuan Cang, Ling Zhen, and Lei Qian frowned slightly, with a hint of worry flashing in their eyes.
After all, this great formation was left by the strong from the ancient times. They were now completely shrouded in the formation, which was no different from actively stretching their necks under someone else's knife.
Perhaps this feeling of unease made Yuan Cang not hesitate at all. After fully awakening this great formation, he slapped the stone pillar in the very center of the Altar.
"Bang!"
The stone pillar shattered in response, and a light pillar dissipated immediately. Then, Yuan Cang looked up and saw that the light of the great formation shrouded above their heads had also dimmed a bit.
"Boom!"
At this moment, the entire earth suddenly trembled, and vaguely, it seemed that something was churning deep in the earth, trying to break out of the ground.
"Are we not going to take action yet?"
Not far away, Ying Huanhuan, who was hiding in the dark, frowned slightly as she watched the actions of Yuan Cang and the others, and asked softly.
In this situation, Yuan Cang seemed to want to completely destroy this sealing formation, and even wanted to join forces with the sealed Otherworldly Demon General to break the Eight Extremes Burning Heaven Formation of the Burning Heaven Cauldron.
"Hmph, just a bunch of ants, the Otherworldly Demons don't care about the life and death of their slaves!"
Lin Xuan snorted lightly, his eyes with a bit of coldness. Yuan Cang and others thought that releasing the Otherworldly Demon General would protect them, and even listen to their arrangements.
Yuan Cang and others had good ideas, very ideal, no different from dreaming. The only pity was that they lived in the real world, not in a dream.
Do you really think that the Otherworldly Demons are disciples of their Yuan Gate, their subordinates, who can be directed by them at will and completely obey their orders?
How foolish and arrogant. The Otherworldly Demons are evil beings from beyond the realm, inherently proud. Within the Otherworldly Demon race, lower-blooded Otherworldly Demons absolutely obey those of higher bloodlines. It can be said that Otherworldly Demons are purely about bloodline and strength; the weak absolutely obey the strong.
That's why the Demon Prison can completely control the Otherworldly Demons below, which is one of the reasons why the Demon Prison is so difficult to deal with—it's practically an iron fortress.
But facing the Yuan Gate, who have turned to the Otherworldly Demons like running dogs, in the eyes of the Otherworldly Demons, they are less than dogs, just a bunch of slaves. In fact, the Otherworldly Demons think that killing everyone in the Yuan Gate is a favor to them.
It can be said that the Otherworldly Demons think that the Yuan Gate, who have joined them, are like their outsourced property. Killing them is just taking back what belongs to them, as a matter of course.
With this in mind, asking a General-level Otherworldly Demon about to break through to the King-level to listen to the words of a few servants whose strength is only at the Life Profound Realm is simply a fantasy.
After hearing Lin Xuan's words, Ying Huanhuan and Ling Qingzhu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. The next moment, they both understood Lin Xuan's idea.
According to the nature of the Otherworldly Demons, the Otherworldly Demon who has just been released is extremely tyrannical. Not to mention listening to the plans arranged by Yuan Cang and others, even communicating well with Yuan Cang and others is almost impossible.
For an Otherworldly Demon General who has been sealed for thousands of years and has just been released, the most likely thing he would do is, after being released, discover a few servants of his Otherworldly Demon race. Therefore, in his joy, he would directly devour those servants, bestowing a favor upon them.
"So, you want that General-level Otherworldly Demon to deal with these people from the Yuan Gate?"
While speaking, Ling Qingzhu subconsciously turned her head to look at Lin Xuan, feeling a chill in her heart. She felt that Lin Xuan's heart was becoming more and more cold. In the past, he would simply kill the opponent, but now, he has begun to use some 'methods' to torture his enemies.
Although the Yuan Gate brought it upon themselves, Lin Xuan's change still made Ling Qingzhu sigh slightly in her heart. It was obvious that what happened back then had made Lin Xuan even more indifferent.
Lin Xuan did not deny it, but stared intently at Yuan Cang and others in the distance, the hand holding the Sword also slightly tightened.
Beside the Altar, a group of Yuan Gate elite disciples, looking at the rich Otherworldly Demonic Qi that began to slowly emanate from the cracks in the earth, their eyes were filled with fanaticism and excitement, because they knew that this adult who was released was already as strong as the previous three Sect Leaders. In this Otherworldly Demon Domain, when facing that man, protecting them would no longer be a problem.
"Senior Brother, we succeeded!"
Some Yuan Gate disciples even said excitedly, with a bit of rejoicing in their eyes, as if they were rejoicing that they could follow Yuan Cang and others into the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury, so as to seek the protection of this adult.
If they had not followed Yuan Cang into the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury, then, now, the fate of those Yuan Gate disciples outside the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury would probably be their fate.
As for what the fate would be, it was almost unnecessary to guess. Facing the joint efforts of the Dao Sect and Taiqing Palace, plus the assistance of the other four super sects, the fate of those disciples was already self-evident. Besides dying miserably, could there be any other way out?
Thinking of this, many Yuan Gate disciples felt apprehensive. They originally thought that joining the Yuan Gate would give them a chance to stand out and become famous throughout the Eastern Xuan Region in the future.
But what happened? Before they could take advantage of the Yuan Gate's name to show off their power and enjoy the sense of honor of being a Yuan Gate disciple, they were forcibly knocked off the altar by that man, and even turned into this inhuman appearance, and had to suffer a huge life-and-death crisis.
However, fortunately, all of this is about to pass, and they are about to usher in a new life!
"Humph, stop flattering me, hurry up and smash these stone pillars together!"
A hint of a smile flashed in Yuan Cang's eyes, but he responded in a cold voice. While speaking, Yuan Cang's movements did not stop, and he shot out again, slapping towards those stone pillars.
The other Yuan Gate disciples did not dare to hesitate at all when they heard this. After all, it was a matter of their own lives, and they also began to work hard to bombard those stone pillars.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
As the stone pillars disappeared one after another, the light pillars also quickly dissipated. In the sky, the light of the sealing grand formation also suddenly dimmed, looking like it was about to completely shatter in the next moment.
Along with the shattering of those stone pillars, the trembling of the entire Altar became more and more intense. After all the stone pillars were destroyed, the earth quickly cracked into countless huge cracks, and streams of dark Otherworldly Demonic Qi permeated from those cracks.
Not far away, Ying Huanhuan, Ying Xiaoxiao and others, who were hidden in the dark, quietly watched this scene, waiting for the opportunity.
"Crack!"
After the earth cracked into a huge crack, the whole world suddenly became quiet again, and the Altar, which was originally constantly trembling, suddenly stopped, including the light formation in the sky, which also disappeared directly.
Above the Altar, Yuan Cang, Ling Zhen, and a group of Yuan Gate elite disciples looked at the eerily quiet Altar, their eyes filled with doubt.
"Senior Brother, what's going on? Could it be that this is a scam? Or did the Dao Sect people tamper with this Altar?"
A Yuan Gate disciple looked at the suddenly silent Altar, a feeling of unease rising in his heart. He cautiously asked Yuan Cang, but his real intention was to say, 'Boss, the situation seems a bit bad. Should we retreat first?'
However, Yuan Cang ignored the disciple, his expression uncertain as he looked at the Altar below. His life was bet on this 'Lord'. If he had done so much and that General-level Otherworldly Demon still couldn't break free from the seal, he wouldn't be able to save his own life.
However, the next moment, on the suddenly quiet Altar, large patches of dense, evil, and cold black Demonic Qi continuously emerged from the ground, causing the smile on Yuan Cang's face to gradually deepen.
"Bang!!"
In the next instant, a huge force erupted from beneath the Altar. Subsequently, the entire giant stone Altar exploded, countless gravels flying out. Immediately afterward, a monstrous black Demonic Qi swept in from the depths of the earth, and suddenly, an indescribable cold and evil aura permeated the entire world.
Yuan Cang and the others, who were originally standing in the air above the Altar, took the opportunity to fly upwards when the boulders splashed out. The remaining Yuan Gate disciples were also forced upwards by the terrifying force.
"Jie jie jie! Humble ants, how dare you not kneel before this General's might?"
Amidst the surging black mist, an extremely ear-piercing, cold, and strange laughter came from the ground, causing the faces of Yuan Cang and the others in the sky to change slightly.
Ants! Kneel!
When had anyone dared to say such words to them? However, facing the powerful Otherworldly Demon General, Yuan Cang didn't dare to retort, and could only explain softly.
"This Lord, we are here under the orders of the Seven Kings Hall of the Demon Prison to rescue you."
"Seven Kings Hall?"
After hearing this title, the Otherworldly Demon General's tone clearly carried a strange emotion, causing Yuan Cang's face to involuntarily show a hint of arrogance.
"That's right, it is the Seven Kings Hall who ordered us to rescue you, but before that, we need you to deal with a tricky opponent. That guy's strength, even my teacher, a Reincarnation Realm expert who has barely reached King-level strength, has repeatedly suffered setbacks in that person's hands."
"Therefore, we ask you to immediately take action and erase that person!"
"Jie jie jie! Erase?"
The cold laughter echoed in his ears, causing Yuan Cang to feel a little confused, but he still responded.
"Yes, erase!"
"Jie jie jie, erasing him directly would be too wasteful. Wouldn't it be better for this General to eat him?"
For some reason, Yuan Cang only felt an indescribable strangeness, but the next moment, before Yuan Cang could figure it out, his pupils suddenly widened. He saw that a huge demonic palm was actually grabbing towards him.
