Ten thousand years ago, the world was full of Qi. Cultivators could consolidate their foundation and gather Qi to develop their techniques. However, after the Earth's Root became passive, the universe changed, and the spiritual vigor of the world could no longer be compared to the ancient times. If the later generations wanted to reach the same level as their predecessors, they had to work hard on the finer details.
If one were to compare the techniques of the past to the present, it would be much cruder. If one were to compare the techniques of the past to the present, the ancient people might be weaker in terms of fighting techniques. This was not because there was a difference in wisdom between the two, but it was because there was a difference between the two.
The demon locust had been trapped here for a long time, and it still used the old ideas to measure the people of the present. In addition, Zhang Yan's mana was far stronger than his peers, so he was at a disadvantage right from the start.
It struggled for a while, but it could not get up under the big hand. It grinned and said, "I have underestimated you guys."
Zhang Yan said plainly, "We are here to kill the demon, please show us your true abilities."
He was very clear that the Sky Demon usually won with its strong body. It usually appeared in human form to preserve its vitality, but its true abilities were not just that.
Not long after he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a huge force surging out from under the big hand, and he almost could not suppress it.
When he looked, there was no Daoist under the palm, but a big insect. It was a few miles long, and its body was red and purple. Its tentacles were like whips, and its mouth and jaw were pressed against the mountain rock. Its body was covered with hard armor, and its color was heavy and thick, like a rock slab. It had a pair of bow-like legs, and it was close to its abdomen. There were six eyes on its head, two on the left and right, and three on the bottom of its head. It was like a broken mirror, and when there was light, it gave off colorful colors.
When this ancient fierce demon showed its original form, just looking at it from afar, it looked extremely ferocious. Huo Xuan and the other two were shocked.
Its body rose and fell, and the membrane wings opened and closed slightly, trembling non-stop. Then, its 18 pairs of hook-like long legs supported itself, and it actually forcefully pushed the big hand up. Then, it shook its body again. The membrane wings on its back vibrated continuously, and in an instant, the Taixuan Big Hand turned into Qi, and floated away.
This was not some kind of divine ability, but purely relying on his own unstoppable strength to forcefully break it apart.
Zhang Yan knew that this method wouldn't be able to trap this Great Demon. Seeing this, he willed it. The profound energy gathered in the sky once again. At the same time, with a flick of his finger, over a thousand bolts of purple lightning shot towards his body.
Mu Shoushan and the others did not hold back. They formed hand seals and cast lightning spells.
For a moment, countless lightning bolts struck down from the sky.
However, the Demon Locust was not afraid at all. No matter how the lightning struck its body, it only caused the light on its carapace to flicker. It was not injured at all.
However, it wasn't afraid of the lightning, and the Sweet Sound Cicadas around Lu Yu were caught in the crossfire. Under the dazzling light, they were all blasted into ashes.
Originally, these insects did not have high combat power. Ten thousand years ago, they were used to exhaust the opponent's magic power. He had only summoned it to propel the void continent forward. Now that he had been killed, he didn't feel any pain at all. "Is this all you've got? You won't be able to hurt me. "
Zhang Yan sneered. "There's no need to provoke us. We won't help you escape no matter what."
The Demon Locust was good at fighting people in the sky, but it was bound to the cliff and couldn't use its abilities. At this moment, it wanted nothing more than for Zhang Yan and the others to unleash their magic power. It would be best if it could free itself and fly into the sky. Once it flew into the sky, its strength would increase several times.
Huo Xuan and the others had long since realized this. Just Now, they were acting with propriety. It looked quite powerful, but it didn't affect the island in the slightest.
At this point, Zhang Yan had condensed the Five Elements Hand once more. He activated it slightly and pressed it down again.
Having experienced its power once, the Demon Locust wasn't willing to take it head-on this time. It moved its feet and scuttled to the back of the cliff in the blink of an eye.
Huo Xuan frowned. "Wasn't the Demon Locust nailed to the cliff? Why can it still move? "
Mu Shoushan said from the side, "Spiritual Master Hua's Treasure Nail is an invisible nail. It can only trap it on the cliff and can't escape, but it can still move on the cliff."
Huo Xuan said, "Then let's make sure it can't hide."
He took out the Thirty-Six Peaks from his sleeve and tossed it into the sky with a shake of his hand. After the treasure flew out, it spun in the sky, and countless cliffs flew out from it, covering the sky.
Huo Xuan's body leaned forward slightly. With a step, he had already moved to the back of the cliff. With a wave of his sleeve, he immediately used the Three Yang Qi of Haoyi.
The Demon Locust didn't expect its opponent to come behind it so quickly. In a moment of carelessness, a raging fire rose from its back. It only snorted with disdain. It just shook its body, and there seemed to be a dim brilliance flashing on its hard armor. It suddenly disappeared, leaving no trace behind. Then, it turned around and hid to the other side.
However, as soon as it arrived, it saw a long river of golden Qi covering its head. Just as it was about to dodge, several golden lights slashed over and hit its back. There was a clanging sound. Its body only slightly bent down, and it wasn't injured at all. However, it missed the opportunity to dodge. It was swept by the golden river, as if countless fine blades had swept over its body.
After about ten breaths, it reappeared, but other than the wings on its back that had become tattered, there was still no wound on its body.
However, under such a siege, the Demon Locust also seemed to be angry. It shouted, "You juniors, how dare you humiliate me?"
There was a vibration of Qi around its body, and there was a sharp sound. The tentacles on its head suddenly became longer and longer. Then, with a swing, it whipped towards the four of them.
Zhang Yan's body retreated. In the wisp of consciousness left behind by Hua Qinzhou, he saw that even if he was hit by this whip, his dharma body would immediately collapse. Even if he didn't die immediately, he would be seriously injured and would no longer have any combat power to speak of.
Although he had instructed them beforehand, he still reminded them at this time, "Everyone, be careful. Don't let it hit you."
After Huo Xuan dodged, he saw that the tentacles changed direction and chased him again. Just as he was about to dodge, he felt something strange behind him. He glanced around and saw that another tentacle had circled around from another direction, sealing off his escape route. Just as he was about to be caught, his figure flashed, and he was moved to another place by Thirty-Six Mountains.
It didn't hit anyone, so the whip turned around and curled up. It once again scattered the Five Elements Hand that was falling down from above.
Ever since Zhang Yan created this Divine Art, he had never seen anyone who could break this technique head-on. That was because it contained the changes of the Five Elements. If one's Dharmic power wasn't stronger than his, it would be difficult to break it in one blow.
However, this Sky Demon didn't need to care about all this. Just by relying on his sturdy body and his savage power, he was able to break the divine ability.
After all, there were only two tentacles. The four of them were Grotto-Heaven Cultivators. After dodging a few times, they saw through the range and changes of its rotation. There was no need for Thirty-Six Mountains to move, and they could easily dodge it. Moreover, they could even retaliate at any time.
However, after this round of attacks, the four of them consecutively used more than ten Divine Arts and Dao techniques. However, this Demon Locust wasn't injured at all. Its body was so strong that it was unimaginable.
Zhang Yan scoffed, "In the past, Guo Yuan Jun relied on the baleful essence produced by the Origin Pearl to protect his body. If the baleful essence wasn't destroyed, then the Divine Art wouldn't be tainted. This Demon Locust is obviously better. The Origin Pearl has long become one with its body. Even though its vitality is damaged and it is unprecedentedly weak, normal methods can't harm it at all. At this time, the Demon Locust was also irritated.
At this moment, the Demon Locust also became irritated. Even though his body was unharmed, he was still a Demon Lord. Being surrounded and beaten by a few juniors also made it angry. Under the circulation of the blood essence in its body, a pair of long tentacles grew on its head. There were a total of four tentacles. When it waved its tentacles, they were everywhere, forcing the four of them to retreat. As the tentacles grew longer and longer, they retreated further and further.
After Huo Xuan dodged a few times. He found that he couldn't easily find an opportunity to attack like Just Now. At this moment, a voice reminded him, "Daoist. Why don't you attack with a spear? "
He said, "That's what I was thinking."
He muttered a few words in his heart, and a black gas flew out from behind him. It condensed into a long spear, and as soon as it was activated, it flew towards the Demon Locust's head.
This was a killing weapon passed down from generation to generation in the Chen clan, and it was called the Flood Python Dragon Spear. However, this time, he borrowed it to kill the Demon Locust.
The Demon Locust was about to use its long tentacles to split it apart, but Mu Shoushan pointed with his finger. The long spear immediately transformed into three images, making it difficult to distinguish which one was the real one. The Demon Locust couldn't help but be stunned. The spear took this opportunity to suddenly speed up. It suddenly leaped through the air and stabbed its neck.
However, unexpectedly, this killing True Weapon was like a solid shield when it was stabbed. After a loud bang, it was sent flying. One could see that there was only a white mark on the hard armor.
Huo Xuan was shocked. Although this was not a treasure that he had personally refined, and it was difficult for him to display its full power, it was still a killing True Weapon. He didn't expect that it couldn't even break through the Demon Locust's shell.
When Zhang Yan saw this, his eyes narrowed slightly. In the battle ten thousand years ago, the Western Continent cultivators had also used killing True Weapons, but at most, they could only break through the hard armor.
However, this was not an injury at all for the Demon Locust. Before the Demon Locust could make any more progress, the hole would be restored in an instant. It was because he knew this that he hadn't used the Killing True Sword until now.
He judged that in this situation, only the Dark North Sword could make a difference.
However, he wasn't in a hurry to use it. Firstly, the Demon Locust hadn't reached the point where it was truly exhausted. Secondly, this was a rare opportunity for him to train. In this world, he probably wouldn't be able to find an opponent whose strength had been weakened to the extreme, but whose skin was so thick that they could attack freely.
Huo Xuan said in a low voice, "Hall Master Du Zhen, I didn't expect that even the killing True Weapon would not be able to break through the Demon Locust's body. Normal methods wouldn't be able to take it down either. What should we do now?"
Zhang Yan said telepathically, "We'll just follow the previous method and exhaust its vitality."
The ancient cultivators and the Demon Locust had been fighting on the West Sea for more than a month. They had used almost all of their methods, but they still couldn't take it down. In the end, they had to change their strategy and set up layers of formations. They took turns to attack, wanting to exhaust its vitality.
Unfortunately, the Demon Locust wasn't without a plan. Before it left its nest, it had swallowed a Hundred Revival Fruit that only appeared once every ten thousand years in the Southern Cliffs Continent. It could regenerate vitality when its vitality was exhausted.
It was also because of this that the situation almost collapsed. In the end, it was Hua Qinzhou who hardened his heart and took advantage of the time when it couldn't escape to seal it.
Although this method failed in the end, it was only because the Western Continent didn't know much about the Southern Cliffs Continent. They didn't know about this beforehand, so they miscalculated. However, it couldn't be denied that this was a good strategy against the Demon Locust.
Right now, there wasn't any Hundred Revival Fruit for it to consume. They could take advantage of the fact that there wasn't much vitality left to exhaust it again.
Mu Shoushan said in a clear voice, "I should be the first to fight it. Everyone, please watch from the side."
Zhang Yan understood that he wanted to use the Demon Locust to wear down his obsession. He said, "The Demon Locust hasn't used any of its most powerful abilities yet. It must be conserving its vitality. However, if there's a chance, it might use it. Zhenren Mu, you must be careful."
Mu Shoushan nodded solemnly. He had also seen the consciousness of the Western Continent cultivators. He knew that the Demon Locust's skills were more than that. Even with the protection of the Thirty-six Mountains, he didn't dare to be careless.
Zhang Yan signaled to Huo Xuan and Lu Junyang. The three of them retreated and stood in different directions. Mu Shoushan was left to face the Demon Locust alone.
At this moment, the Demon Locust also noticed that something was wrong. Among the six eyes on its head, a pair of large eyes looked around cautiously. The other four eyes were all focused on the enemy in front of them.
Mu Shoushan's gaze did not retreat at all. Even though he knew many techniques, normal techniques were useless against this Demon Locust. Thus, he thought of a countermeasure.
He first took out the Ten Thousand Phase Plume and let it float in the air. Then, his body shook and he released the two Dharmas. One was covered in flames, the other was surrounded by air and sand.
One was dressed in white and had a gentle and lazy expression. The other was dressed in a golden and red robe. His chin was slightly raised, but he looked arrogant.
The two attacked at the same time. One was a fiery red. The other attracted countless dust and pressed down on the Demon Locust.
When the Demonic Locust saw him like this, a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes. With such a grand spirit, he thought that when it hit his body, it would definitely affect the cliff beneath his feet. Was he not afraid that he would escape?
Even though it didn't know what its opponent was planning, it relied on its strong armor and didn't dodge.
With a rumble, the Dharma power crashed down. Its body instantly sank. However, what surprised it was that the cliff below it was still the same. It didn't crack like it had imagined.
Even though Huo Xuan was watching from the side, his spirit was communicating with the Thirty-Six Mountains. This treasure could also stabilize the continent. It was just that he hadn't completely refined it. Just Now, when four people attacked at the same time, he didn't have the confidence to suppress the cliff. However, it was not difficult for one person to attack.
Mu Shoushan saw that things were going smoothly. He stretched out his hand again and saw that the Dharma that invaded the Demon Locust's body didn't dissipate. Instead, it circled around it like a wall and successfully trapped it inside. At this point, the two Dharma Bodies simultaneously took out a seal, causing a muffled bang to resound. The momentum was actually more than a few times more ferocious than before, and when looked at from afar, it seemed like an enormous furnace had been lit up!
