Ning Cheng once again extended out his Spiritual Consciousness and quickly understood what was going on. Although there were many monsters outside the seal, they were not much of a threat. As long as they formed a small team, it would be very easy to harvest demonic beasts and obtain magic crystals. However, as they ventured deeper, the demonic creatures suddenly grew stronger, completely enveloping the cultivator teams. As long as they ventured deeper, only death awaited them.
Towards the end, the cultivators trapped in the demonic creatures had no way to retreat.
More and more cultivators died. By the time many of them realized the danger, they could no longer walk out. Some of the more powerful Saint Emperors took out their teleportation talismans in an attempt to break through the space there and leave, but they discovered that the space there had been locked up as well.
Ning Cheng also felt the changes in the laws of the surrounding space. Coupled with the fact that the cultivators who came in before could easily hunt for demonic crystals on the periphery, once they unwittingly went in, they would never be able to get out. This made Ning Cheng suspect that this was intentional.
If there really was a powerful monster commanding them here, it would not be a good thing. However, Ning Cheng soon felt that his thoughts were somewhat superfluous. If there really was a powerful demonic creature in this place, why would this demonic creature allow him to cultivate in the underground abyss for nearly 20 years?
Thinking of this, Ning Cheng felt a little relieved. He took out an appearance-changing weapon and changed his appearance to that of a rogue cultivator before putting away the Fourth Yellow Springs Bridge and the Fifth Reincarnation Bridge.
The reason why Ning Cheng changed his appearance was because he was afraid that Liu Fangzhen would find him. Other than Liu Fangzhen, there was also Mu Zuoxiao's master, Ao Beijiang. Perhaps he wouldn't be able to fool Ao Beijiang even if he disguised himself, but it was still better than not.
If he could learn the Devil Transformation God Art, even Ao Beijiang might not be able to recognize him.
Ning Cheng immediately brought out the First Bridge of Coping. To deal with these low-levelled demonic creatures, his First Bridge of Coping was more than enough.
The pale white Bridge of Coping no longer looked as fragile as when Ning Cheng first learned it. At this time, when Ning Cheng brought it out, it transformed into a giant mouth that could devour demonic creatures. The roiling blood river under the Bridge of Helplessness directly swept up a bunch of demonic creatures. After these demonic creatures were swallowed by the blood river, apart from making the blood river surge even more violently, there was no other trace of them. In just a short time, a vacuum of demonic creatures formed in front of Ning Cheng, turning the black space into a dark grey.
Ning Cheng didn't even bother to look at these low-level demonic crystals. Instead, he threw them all under the Bridge of Coping to strengthen the Dao Charm of Coping.
"Boom ….." Ning Cheng walked out of the Spirit Essence Spring, and the Bridge of Coping only swept out for a few minutes before a powerful force slammed into it.
The Bridge of Coping made a series of 'ka-ka' sounds, and a violent shockwave slammed into Ning Cheng's chest. Ning Cheng felt the dao charm around his body loosen, and his domain showed signs of collapsing.
The Void Cold Light Spear in Ning Cheng's hand rolled up the Dao Charm of the Spear Patterns, which blocked the raging waves of backlash. But after he stood still, several cracks appeared on the pale white Bridge of Coping.
He didn't continue to stimulate the Dao Charm to repair the Bridge of Coping. Instead, he put away the Bridge of Coping and released his Spiritual Consciousness once again.
His surroundings were empty, without a single trace. Even if Ning Cheng knew that the one who attacked him was a powerful demonic being, he would not be able to find the hiding place of this demonic being.
Huh? Ning Cheng looked down and saw that he had returned to the edge of the Spirit Marrow. What was going on?
Perhaps it was just a coincidence, but Ning Cheng once again brought out the fourth Yellow Springs Bridge. The power of the Yellow Springs Bridge was much stronger than the First Bridge of Coping. Ning Cheng stood on the Yellow Springs Bridge and let the surrounding yellow river roll out, sucking the endless demonic beings into it.
After Ning Cheng moved a few hundred meters forward, another terrifying force blasted over. This force disappeared without a trace, as if it had been waiting for him.
This time, Ning Cheng was prepared. The Void Cold Light Spear directly tore through the surrounding space and arrived in front of this force. The moment before the Cold Light Spear slammed into this force, the surrounding space came to a standstill.
This was a Spear Dao Spirit Technique that combined the Laws of Space and the Laws of Time. After Ning Cheng advanced to the Dao Transformation Realm, even a Dao Perfection expert would have to find a way to resist this spear.
"Boom!"
The Void Cold Light Spear's Spirit Essence Dao Charm collided with the powerful force, causing bursts of spacial explosions. Some of the weaker demonic beings in the surroundings, under the bombardment of this violent force, directly burst out their demonic crystals and disappeared without a trace.
The Cold Light Spear slammed into the terrifying Dao Charm nomological power, causing Ning Cheng to fall back again.
Ning Cheng looked at the Divine Essence Spring under his feet sluggishly. He finally understood what was going on. This invisible force didn't allow him to leave the Divine Essence Spring. In other words, if he cultivated in the Divine Essence Spring, nothing would happen. But if he didn't cultivate in the Divine Essence Spring, he wouldn't be able to leave.
A chill rose in Ning Cheng's heart, even if he was an idiot, he would know that there was indeed a powerful demonic being causing mischief in this place. He had advanced to the Dao Transformation Realm, which meant that his strength had increased by dozens of times compared to before. Even so, he couldn't break out of this demonic being's imprisonment. Just how strong was this demonic being?
Was this demonic being so good that it let him stay here and cultivate? If it wasn't so good, why didn't it just kill him?
Ning Cheng's spiritual consciousness continued to penetrate the Divine Essence Spring's surroundings. One incense stick worth of time, one hour, one day …
At this time, Ning Cheng had already ignored the sounds of fighting outside. He himself was trapped in this small place, not to mention those cultivators who came in to court their own deaths.
By the time the next day passed, Ning Cheng finally saw some clues. This Divine Essence Spring was definitely a seal, and it was at the very centre of the seal.
Previously, he had used the Rebirth Bridge to grind away the demonic qi aura in the Divine Essence Spring and then used the Divine Essence Spring to cultivate. In fact, he had loosened the seal. It stood to reason that even if an ordinary person absorbed the spirit essence in the Divine Essence Spring and cultivated for many years, the seal wouldn't loosen. After all, the spirit qi absorbed from the spirit essence would quickly be replenished. However, Ning Cheng was different. He had absorbed too much spirit essence for cultivation, and the replenished spirit qi wasn't enough. This caused the seal to loosen, and the demonic being started to struggle.
Compared to the 83 blood pillars, this place was the real seal. Without the suppression of the girl's pure body, even Ning Cheng couldn't see through the array formation of the seal.
From this, it could be seen that the demonic being sealed underground hadn't completely broken free. If it had completely broken free, then he wouldn't have needed to stay here to cultivate. Instead, it would have killed him directly.
Ning Cheng had actually been used. Even if he advanced to the Dao Transformation Realm, he still felt extremely unhappy.
Was the spirit essence very strong? Ning Cheng didn't know how this seal was arranged, but he had something stronger than the spirit essence. 'I don't need to care about this seal. I just need to make the spirit aura and law aura of the Divine Essence Spring stronger.'
Thinking of this, Ning Cheng didn't bother to continue escaping. Instead, he grabbed a handful of array flags and threw them down. Large Spirit Gathering Array, Five Elements Array, Spirit Qi Sealing Array …
Since he couldn't strengthen the seal here, he could start with the Divine Essence Spring.
Ning Cheng took out the Measureless Gourd and injected the five elements of chaos qi into the Divine Essence Spring.
After injecting the five-element chaos qi into the Divine Essence Spring, Ning Cheng set up a Spirit Gathering Array and a Five Elements Sealing Array. The nomological dao charm power of the Divine Essence Spring suddenly grew stronger. Not only that, but the spirit essence qi in the Divine Essence Spring also started to gather crazily.
Even before Ning Cheng started cultivating, the Divine Essence Spring wouldn't have had the five-element chaos qi. Now, Ning Cheng added the five-element chaos qi and used an array formation to seal the five-element chaos qi. From this, one could imagine that once the spirit aura of the Divine Essence Spring returned to its previous state, the Divine Essence Spring's seal would become even stronger than before Ning Cheng started cultivating.
As if it could feel Ning Cheng's movements, the ground suddenly gave out bursts of rumbling sounds. A thunderous roar echoed from the ground, and several terrifying forces blasted towards Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng had seen this kind of power before, and it wasn't something he could block. However, he had to block it and stabilize the seal. Even if he ran out of the five-element chaos qi, he wouldn't hesitate.
Bringing out the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort, Ning Cheng poured the five-element chaos qi from the Measureless Gourd into the Divine Essence Spring.
"Boom!" Even if the Spirit Essence Spring stabilized after Ning Cheng's five-elemental chaos qi seeped into it, the powerful force still slammed into the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort, causing Ning Cheng's body to make 'ka ka' sounds and spurt out a mouthful of blood.
At this time, Ning Cheng could only secretly rejoice. The underground demonic creature couldn't use law-related spirit techniques against him and could only use this barbaric law-related attack.
Just when the next wave of power was about to hit him, Ning Cheng suddenly felt the entire space shaking again. Then, the fluctuations of the laws in the space grew even quieter, and he felt as if someone was holding him down. The power that was about to hit him seemed to have been imprisoned and weakened.
Ning Cheng's spiritual consciousness swept out and soon saw the restlessness of countless cultivators. These cultivators also felt the shackles of the spacial fluctuations and felt the suppression.
Not good, someone had arranged a great seal outside the Scorched Tree Temple. Ning Cheng didn't need to think about it to know that this great seal sealed the entire Scorched Tree Temple.
No matter how violent the underground abyss became, as long as they didn't break free from the seal outside the Scorched Tree Temple, the demonic creatures in the underground abyss couldn't break out.
As the power of the laws grew weaker and weaker, Ning Cheng's heart sank. This was equivalent to sealing him up as well. Once the nomological Daoist Rhyme below was completely restrained, he would also be completely sealed. The restless cultivators obviously knew what was going on and wanted to rush out even more frantically.
Unfortunately, these cultivators couldn't even break free from the encirclement of the demonic creatures, let alone rush out of the seal.
Ning Cheng stopped attacking the Divine Essence Spring. He had already seeped some of the five-element chaos qi into the Divine Essence Spring, which meant that the seal would only grow stronger. Coupled with the seal outside, no matter how strong the underground demonic creatures were, they wouldn't be able to break free in a short time.
Perhaps because the most powerful demonic creature underground had been suppressed, the attacks of the low-level demonic creatures outside once again turned chaotic. But even so, they were still several times stronger than the cultivators who came in. Demonic creatures continued to kill groups of cultivators.
