Roars rose and fell like waves. More and more External Heart Demons rushed out of the darkness. There were already more than a dozen of them, and each of them was at the Elite Level, equivalent to the Origin Underworld Stage.
Chen Zong and the other four took action to resist the invasion of the External Heart Demons and prevent them from rushing out. Otherwise, it would be a dereliction of duty and they would have their merit points deducted.
For Chen Zong, the consequences were even more serious. It would leave a bad record in the mission assessment and might affect his promotion to Path-Chosen.
"Retreat," Chen Zong shouted. Ye Ming and the other three used their movement techniques and turned into streams of light to retreat.
Great World Sword Technique, Forest of Ten Thousand Trees!
In an instant, a Sword Dao domain of more than 4,000 meters pressed down. Trees of sword qi that were more than ten meters tall condensed in the air and pressed down, directly enveloping the External Heart Demons and suppressing them in a forest of sword qi.
The main power of the Great World Sword Technique was to suppress and restrain, but its power was not weak at all.
Although the External Heart Demons were very strong, their combat strength was at most equivalent to the Three-Star or Four-Star level. Under Chen Zong's sword, the External Heart Demons were immediately suppressed and could not escape for a while.
"Kill!" Ye Ming and the other three shouted and immediately attacked.
The External Heart Demons suppressed by the Forest of Ten Thousand Trees were easier to deal with.
However, even if they attacked the External Heart Demon, they could not kill it immediately. This was different from cultivators. Attacking the External Heart Demon would only weaken its power. When its power was weakened to the extreme, the External Heart Demon would lose half of its physical body and become illusory.
At that time, they could either seize the opportunity to seal it or let the External Heart Demon seize the opportunity to escape and return to the Mental Demon Realm.
In most cases, the External Heart Demons escaped. Their reactions were very fast. After losing half of their physical body, they seemed to have lost their restraints. Once they escaped into the darkness, they merged into it and were difficult to capture them.
Under the suppression of the Forest of Ten Thousand Trees, the External Heart Demons could not escape. Under the joint attack of Chen Zong, Ye Ming, and the others, they were constantly injured and their bodies gradually shattered.
At the same time, the sword qi of the Forest of Ten Thousand Trees would constantly wear down the power of the External Heart Demons.
More than a dozen External Heart Demons exploded and turned into illusory black shadows. In the blink of an eye, they broke free from the suppression of the Forest of Ten Thousand Trees.
Half-corporeal External Heart Demons would possess physical attacks, but they would also be restricted. Everything had its pros and cons.
Now that the half-entity had been shattered and could no longer be maintained, it turned into illusory shadows and was no longer restricted. In an instant, more than a dozen illusory shadows rushed out of the Forest of a Thousand Trees to suppress them. Some of them screamed and rushed toward Chen Zong and the others, trying to enter their Spirit Sea and invade their Vital Spirits.
Some of them rushed into the darkness in an attempt to escape.
"Demon Sealing Curse!"
Without hesitation, Chen Zong and the other four immediately cast spells.
The Demon Sealing Incantation was a secret incantation that one had to learn to guard the Heart Demon Cave. It was to better deal with external Heart Demons. Of course, it was also effective against Heart Demons.
Five rays of black light lit up in an instant and shot out in a flash.
However, there were a total of eight illusory shadows, and they were extremely fast and agile. They all streaked across the sky and flew toward Chen Zong and the others.
After breaking free from the half-entity, the External Heart Demons were more than a few times more agile. Under Chen Zong's control, the Demon Sealing Incantation accurately hit one of the illusory black lights and immediately sealed it. The sealing speed was extremely fast, and it was completed in an instant. It turned into a ball of black light and fell.
There was also a ball of illusory black light flying toward it.
With a flash of sword light, Chen Zong attacked with his sword. However, Chen Zong found that even if he cut the External Heart Demons, the damage was very limited. It was as if the power of the sword qi had decreased by many times in an instant.
An idea flashed through Chen Zong's mind. He thought of the Purple Star Dragon Flame.
Although the Purple Star Dragon Flame was only a low-level divine fire, equivalent to the combat strength of a twelve-star Dao Manipulation Realm cultivator, it had absorbed the flame aura in the furnace of the Myriad Tribulation Divine Fire Mountain. It was a flame aura that could resist the External Heart Demons and even hurt them.
Perhaps the Purple Star Dragon Flame also contained its characteristics and could deal with the External Heart Demons. The only difference was the strength of the effect.
As for how effective it was, he would know after trying it out.
Chen Zong moved his mind, and in an instant, a dragon's roar sounded. Then, a purple flame with flickering black light appeared and turned into a fire dragon. It circled Chen Zong's body and quickly wrapped around Chen Zong's arm. The dragon's head happened to be at the palm of his hand.
The dragon's roar was high in the sky and reverberated in all directions. Chen Zong grabbed out with his palm. Like a fire dragon soaring in the sky, an extremely mysterious undulation appeared on his arm.
Chen Zong made a grabbing motion in the air, and there seemed to be an indescribable mysterious power within it. No matter how nimble the External Heart Demon was, it was unable to evade. Instead, it felt as if it had been sent into Chen Zong's palm, and it was also sent into the mouth of the Purple Star Dragon Flames.
Burn!
In an instant, as if oil had been added to the fire, the Purple Star Dragon Flame seemed to burn even more fiercely. At the same time, an extremely sharp and shrill voice sounded from the illusory black light. It was the External Heart Demon's scream.
After all, the flame power of the Ten Thousand Tribulation Divine Flame Furnace had an obvious protective effect against External Heart Demons. If Chen Zong's External Heart Demon had been an ordinary External Heart Demon, the consequences would have been very serious.
However, Chen Zong's External Heart Demon was extraordinary. Even the Master of the Will was shocked and helpless.
Although the Purple Star Dragon Flame was only a low-level Divine Flame and didn't absorb much of the Ten Thousand Tribulation Divine Flame Furnace's power, it still had a certain effect on External Heart Demons.
When dealing with External Heart Demons, the power of the Purple Star Dragon Flame could reach the level of a mid-level Divine Flame. Even if it was only a low-level mid-level Divine Flame, it was still amazing.
It burned and burned continuously. Shrill and shrill screams rang out continuously. One could see wisps of black smoke rising from the mouth of the Purple Star Dragon Flame.
However, the burning speed was a little slow. It would probably take more than 100 breaths of time to burn this External Heart Demon to the ground.
On the other side, Ye Ming and the other three dealt with it calmly. They used their movement techniques to avoid the External Heart Demon's attack. At the same time, they held the Demon Sealing Spell in their hands and waited for an opportunity to attack.
After all, they had guarded this place for decades. It was not the first time they had dealt with External Heart Demons' attack. They were very experienced.
As long as they weren't attacked by many External Heart Demons at once, they could deal with it.
Chen Zong controlled the Purple Star Dragon Flame with one hand to burn the External Heart Demon while condensing the Demon Sealing Spell with the other to seal the External Heart Demon.
Under the Sword Dao Territory, the External Heart Demon's speed was affected. Its trajectory was completely captured by Chen Zong, so it couldn't escape at all.
It didn't take long for all the inner demons to be sealed.
"Thank you, Guardian." Ye Ming and the other three expressed their gratitude to Chen Zong because it was Chen Zong who helped them seal the External Heart Demons. If Chen Zong hadn't helped them, although the External Heart Demons would have been sealed or escaped in the end, it would have taken time.
Moreover, after being sealed, Chen Zong didn't snatch it. Instead, it belonged to them.
Guarding the External Heart Demon Cave not only gave merit points, but they could also exchange merit points for sealing the External Heart Demons and turning them in. If they didn't turn them in, they could find a way to refine it into essence and absorb it on their own.
After this wave of External Heart Demons' attack was repelled, Chen Zong returned to his room with the two sealed External Heart Demons. Once again, he activated the power of the Purple Star Dragon Flame to burn them.
The External Heart Demons that were burned to death by the Purple Star Dragon Flame earlier left behind a little black glow after death. It seemed to be essence, pure essence without any impurities. It was the essence of the External Heart Demons.
The essence of the External Heart Demons was very useful. It could strengthen one's consciousness.
In other words, after absorbing the essence of the External Heart Demons, one's consciousness could be strengthened. An enhanced consciousness was greatly beneficial to battle. Not only could it strengthen one's control and control of one's own power, but it could also improve one's perception, making it more precise and sensitive.
In short, there were only benefits and no disadvantages to having an enhanced consciousness.
After putting away the Purple Star Dragon Flame, three black glows appeared in Chen Zong's hand. Each one of them was as fine as sand. They were very fine, less than one-third the size of a grain of rice.
If it was an External Heart Demon of the Path Manipulation Realm, the refined essence would be even smaller.
Chen Zong had never absorbed the essence of the External Heart Demons before, so he didn't know how effective it would be.
After absorbing the first External Heart Demon Essence, it seemed to flow into his Primordial Spirit and nourish his consciousness. However, Chen Zong didn't feel that half of the External Heart Demon Essence was forcefully separated and merged with the black glows in the depths of his Primordial Spirit.
"It doesn't feel much." After absorbing all three External Heart Demon Essences, Chen Zong sensed them carefully and frowned slightly.
The three External Heart Demon Essences didn't bring much improvement to his consciousness. In fact, it didn't even increase it by a little.
After all, Chen Zong's consciousness was very strong. It was much stronger than cultivators of the same level. It would naturally be more difficult for him to improve it.
However, Chen Zong didn't know that only half of the three External Heart Demon Essences were absorbed by his consciousness. The other half was absorbed by the core of the External Heart Demon in his Primordial Spirit.
Of course, even if all of them were absorbed by Chen Zong's consciousness, the improvement would be very limited. He still wouldn't feel it.
However, these were only three External Heart Demon Essences. If he could get more External Heart Demon Essences and absorb more of them, perhaps his consciousness would be significantly strengthened and improved.
For the first time, Chen Zong desperately wanted to be attacked by External Heart Demons.
Perhaps he was very lucky, or perhaps he was unlucky. In short, it didn't take long for another External Heart Demon to appear.
This time, it was a dozen External Heart Demons that attacked directly.
Great World Sword Technique: Boundless Earth!
The fourth move of the Great World Sword Technique, which was also a move that Chen Zong had comprehended before, was displayed instantly.
With a swing of the sword, sword light poured out like a waterfall. A rumbling sound was heard immediately. The Sword Qi turned into waves of earth and swept out as if the earth was shaking. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a piece of land more than 4,000 meters wide. It was filled with a turbid brown aura. Although it wasn't very big, it gave people a sense of boundless desolation.
The dozen External Heart Demons were directly enveloped in the boundless land. The suppression power of this move was much stronger than that of the Forest of a Thousand Trees.
Suppression!
The dozen External Heart Demons couldn't move for a while. The brown turbid aura floating in the boundless land was also transformed by the Sword Qi. As it spread, it immediately caused severe damage to the dozen External Heart Demons.
