The Black Abyss, an area shrouded in demonic energy.
"This is the passage that Lord Xuanzun uses to return to the Tianmen Realm. You must be extremely careful and not make any mistakes." A giant demon cultivator, about three meters tall, with green skin and eyes shining with blue light, warned in a deep voice.
Behind him was a strange space.
The void had collapsed and disappeared, revealing a hole about five or six feet in size, with .
Next to this passage, there are five demon cultivators with purple patterns all over their bodies.
They made strange hand seals with their hands, and dark purple energy was constantly pouring out of them, flowing into the five or six meter large hole, maintaining this dark and constantly rotating passage from collapsing.
"Don't worry, Lord Blood Demon. We know the seriousness of the situation." The leader of the five demon cultivators whose bodies were covered with purple patterns responded.
Seeing this, the giant demon cultivator known as the Blood Demon Lord nodded with satisfaction. His dark blue eyes flickered slightly and he fell into deep thought.
Lord Xuanzun was invited by the human king Qing to enter the human realm in order to perform the "blood" spell to help King Qing refine his blood essence into blood essence and help him break through the semi-ancestor realm.
To this end, Prince Qing listed many incredible conditions, even Lord Xuanzun was tempted by them.
However, the semi-ancestor realm in the abyss is the semi-saint realm.
But you have to know that even Lord Xuanzun is only infinitely close to the semi-saint realm.
If I really help Prince Qing break through to the semi-ancestor level, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
Lord Xuanzun would naturally not be so stupid, and would not do anything to aid the enemy.
His idea was that he didn't have to accept all of the conditions listed by Prince Qing, but he had to accept at least most of them. Similarly, he could help, but not all of them.
Even though the possibility of Prince Qing being promoted to the Semi-Ancestor Realm is very small, Lord Xuanzun will not take the risk.
Therefore, Lord Xuanzun was planning to make some adjustments when helping Prince Qing refine the blood essence. He couldn't let the blood essence be completely useless, but he couldn't let it have too much effect either. He had to completely eliminate the possibility of Prince Qing being promoted to Half-Ancestor.
However, this place is the human domain after all. There is no guarantee that King Qing, who failed to be promoted, will not find something fishy and, desperate, force Lord Xuanzun to stay in the human domain.
When he came in, Prince Qing had a request to Xuanzun, so naturally he cooperated in every way and let him enter.
It was obviously expected that Prince Qing would interfere when they were about to leave.
You must find a way out for yourself in advance.
This is what Lord Xuanzun considers.
Therefore, Lord Xuanzun did not hesitate to waste a lot of time and use his connections to invite the magic cultivators of the Void Demon Clan to help him open up a passage back to the Tianmen Realm.
The boundary between the two worlds is extremely solid, and it is not easy to break through.
In fact, this is not considered as development.
Because the space channel here is a small space channel left behind by the demon clan when they first entered the human realm 20,000 years ago, and no one knows about it except Xuan Zun.
However, as 20,000 years have passed, this small space channel has long become unstable and may disappear and collapse at any time.
In addition, since it is a small space channel, it cannot withstand repeated use and cannot carry the passage of entities with too much power, otherwise it will collapse on its own.
There is no doubt that Xuanzun must belong to the ranks of beings with too much power.
In this situation, Xuan Zun could only go to great lengths to borrow manpower from the Void Demon Clan to help temporarily reinforce this space passage to ensure that he could pass safely.
In fact, even temporary reinforcement is not easy, after all, this is a space channel connecting the two worlds.
In fact, on the other side of this space channel, that is, within the Abyss Tianmen Realm, there are more demon cultivators who are working hard to maintain this space channel.
Just as the Blood Demon Lord was lost in thoughts and his mind was wandering in the sky, he suddenly felt some breath and his whole body was shocked.
"Why are there outsiders here?"
In his perception, two human auras suddenly appeared in the outside world.
The Black Abyss is a forbidden area. Not only is it full of dangers, but it also does not have many resources. No human cultivator would ever come here to take the trouble to do so.
But at this moment, the Blood Demon Lord had no time to think about the reason - no matter what the situation was, since humans had appeared, he had to kill them to prevent the news from leaking out!
As he thought this, his figure suddenly changed, his momentum surged, and he ran out without hesitation.
…
Lu Qingshan and Li Qiubai looked at the place in front of them filled with demonic energy, both with solemn expressions.
"Something came out." Li Qiubai said suddenly.
From within the area shrouded by demonic energy, a dark shadow rushed out without any concealment.
boom!
Before Lu Qingshan could speak, a thunderous sound suddenly exploded.
Then an extremely ferocious figure suddenly appeared in their sight.
His body was nearly three meters tall, his eyes were dark blue, and an invisible, powerful and intimidating aura spread out from him.
"The giant demon tribe." Li Qiu said in defeat.
"Blood Demon Lord!" Lu Qingshan couldn't help but call out softly, his mood was particularly complicated.
It seems like a lot has changed, yet it seems like nothing has changed.
Although the time point is different, it is still the same place and the same characters.
After more than seven years, he met again the eighth-grade demon lord of the demon clan who had died in his hands once.
The Blood Demon Lord, who had just appeared, suddenly heard what the two said and his eyes froze.
It's not surprising that someone recognized him as a giant demon, but...
His eyes, like ghost fire, stared at Lu Qingshan and said sinisterly: "Do you know me?"
Just now, he clearly heard this person shout out his title.
"Eighth-rank Giant Demon Clan," Li Qiubai's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "Too many people have such creatures in the human realm. Fortunately, I discovered them today. Otherwise, there would be endless troubles..."
The Blood Demon Lord, who was originally surprised by Lu Qingshan, stopped asking questions after hearing what he said.
Why ask so many questions? They are going to be killed anyway.
The Blood Demon Lord thought so.
The next moment, a black light flashed above his body.
In the black light, his already extremely sturdy body swelled up again, directly expanding to dozens of feet high, as majestic as a small mountain.
Lu Qingshan and Li Qiubai seemed incredibly insignificant in front of the Blood Demon Lord at this moment.
And this was not the end. A huge monster like a prehistoric beast slowly emerged from the body of the Blood Demon.
It was a ferocious beast with a blood-red body, and its body was covered with layers of blood-red scales the size of a house. The edges of the scales were as cold as knives, and it also had a single horn on its forehead that was raised high as if to pierce the sky.
The black horn was wrapped with bloody marks, which spread from the horn to the whole body, making it look extremely hideous.
A pair of huge blood-red eyes, extremely indifferent, overlooking everything in the world.
This is the innate magical power of the giant demon clan - "Giant Spirit".
As the Blood Demon Lord displayed his magical powers, the miasma within the Black Abyss was shaken, and suddenly it began to flow in chaos, as if it could not bear such a force.
The miasma beasts nearby also felt this terrifying pressure and were no longer as ferocious as before. They lay on the ground and trembled.
This is the strength of an eighth-grade peak demon lord, a "god" that once forced most of the players in the server to work together to take down.
But now, everything is different.
Because the people present, in addition to Lu Qingshan, also included Chang'an Sword Immortal, one of the only three sword immortals in the human race today!
Li Qiubai narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the blood beast that was controlled by the Blood Demon Lord and was already rushing towards him to devour him, and snorted coldly with extreme disdain.
The next moment, he stretched out his finger and tapped lightly.
Infinite light suddenly emanated from Li Qiubai's fingertips, and a long rainbow rushed out and headed straight for the blood beast.
The long rainbow suddenly shot out and condensed into a long sword in the air.
Although the long sword was condensed by spiritual light, it was as solid as a real object, shining with cold light.
The speed is so fast that even divine consciousness cannot detect it.
This sword suddenly slashed at the giant blood beast in the sky. The sword energy suddenly surged up, tearing the sky apart and tearing the huge blood beast into pieces, causing it to completely dissipate.
The Blood Demon Lord immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
Although he was not the one killed, the giant was killed in one move, and he also suffered the backlash and sustained serious injuries.
Li Qiubai's sword attack did not end yet.
The sword continued to slash forward, clearing away the thick fog and air in the air, forming a huge gully, and forcing the Blood Demon Lord behind the giant like a mountain.
The Blood Demon Lord's face changed drastically. He let out a low roar and attacked with all his strength. His hands emitted a thick black light and crossed them in front of his chest.
boom!
The sword energy scattered again and slashed his strong arms.
There was a surging and violent force in the sword light, and when it exploded, it was like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting apart.
The Blood Demon Lord's dark blue pupils suddenly dilated.
He only felt that the sword light was extremely terrifying, and it contained a power like the collapse of the sky, which made him feel unable to resist.
Tear!
The next moment, the Blood Demon Lord's extremely powerful body collapsed directly, and two arms as thick as stone pillars flew up directly.
Phew!
Finally, the sword light gently pierced through the Blood Demon Lord who was like a diamond and a giant mountain.
The sword energy in the sky collapsed and exploded.
The body of the Blood Demon Lord collapsed with a loud bang.
Lu Qingshan had mixed feelings.
Also in the eighth realm, the Blood Demon Lord, who once made all the players in the server complain, is not even a match for Li Qiubai.
Realm, for a sword cultivator, has never meant anything.
"Is he dead?" Lu Qingshan asked.
"Not yet. I showed mercy. He was just seriously injured and unconscious for the time being." Li Qiubai narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't we still need to ask for more information? If the other demon cultivators can't provide much information, won't we still have to ask him in the end?"
Such a fierce sword strike, but Li Qiubai actually showed mercy?!
Lu Qingshan couldn't help but look up to Li Qiubai even more.
"Let's go in and take a look at the situation first." Li Qiubai's eyes flashed slightly and he said calmly.
Lu Qingshan nodded in agreement.
As Li Qiubai walked confidently into the area covered by demonic energy, the thick demonic energy evaporated and dissipated into the sky and earth step by step with his steps.
The five Void Demon Cultivators who were maintaining the space channel were distracted and noticed the battle situation outside. Their eyes were already filled with fear and their faces were extremely distorted.
The Blood Demon Lord is a fifth-grade demon lord, while they are merely seventh-grade demon cultivators.
Even the Blood Demon Lord was so vulnerable in front of the human cultivator in front of him, let alone them, who were as weak as a blade of grass.
But they did not choose to escape.
——In front of such an existence, where can you escape and how can you escape?
Soon, Lu Qingshan and Li Qiubai arrived at the core area.
When Lu Qingshan first saw the five demon cultivators and the constantly rotating space passage, his heart was shocked.
The relationship between the eight holy demon clans of the abyss has never been very harmonious. It is indeed a very strange thing to see the Void Demon Clan in the presence of the Giant Spirit Demon Lord.
As for that small and deep space passage, it makes people recall many things.
“Refusing to answer, or answering incorrectly, means death.” Li Qiubai looked at the scene in front of him and realized that the matter was not simple. His face was solemn and his voice was low.
The five Void Demon Cultivators were silent for a few seconds, looking at each other, and finally one of the leading Demon Cultivators stood up and said, "If we answer, can you spare our lives?"
Facing the cold gaze from Li Qiubai, he hurriedly explained: "We entered the human domain only because we were entrusted by others to help maintain this space channel. We did not do anything harmful to the world, and we have nothing to do with the Blood Demon Lord."
"Where does this space channel lead to?" Li Qiubai did not answer the demon cultivator's question, but asked directly.
The demon cultivator's face turned pale and blue, and he was in a struggle. After hesitating for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "It leads to the Tianmen Realm."
If it were someone else, it would be impossible for them to confess so easily.
But the problem is, they belong to the Void Demon Clan and have no relationship with the Giant Demon Clan. They are just people invited by Xuan Zun to help. They have no master-servant relationship with Xuan Zun, and there is no reason for them to risk their lives to protect Xuan Zun's secrets.
"Who is this space channel prepared for?" Li Qiubai asked again.
"Xuan Zun." The demon cultivator's expression changed slightly, and he was no longer as straightforward as before. He hesitated for a moment before answering.
After all, Xuanzun still has a great deterrent effect on them.
Xuanzun!
Here, Lu Qingshan's heart was already filled with turbulent waves.
The trip to the abyss gave him a deeper understanding of the composition and power of each domain in the abyss.
As Xuanzun was one of the four giants of the giant clan, he had naturally heard of his name.
"Is Xuanzun in the human realm now?" he asked hurriedly.
"That's right." The leading demon cultivator nodded and found that his answers were becoming more and more fluent and he felt less burdened.
"Where is he now?" Lu Qingshan asked again.
Once we know Xuan Zun's location, wouldn't that be like catching a turtle in a jar?
If Xuan Zun, one of the four giant spirits, could be killed in the human domain, it would have a great positive effect on both the morale of the human race and the war situation.
"I really don't know about this," the leading demon cultivator replied. Seeing Li Qiubai's cold eyes, he trembled all over and quickly explained, "How could a figure like Xuanzun tell us outsiders about his whereabouts?"
Lu Qingshan was silent.
On this point, he did not doubt what the leading Void Demon Cultivator said.
"How did Xuan Zun enter the human domain? What's your purpose? Is he here for the bloody massacre of King Qing?" Lu Qingshan looked at him calmly and asked.
The pupils of the leading demon cultivator suddenly shrank, and he replied with a stiff expression: "We entered through Yanlan Pass. There were very high-ranking human cultivators in Yanlan Pass to receive us, so we did not undergo any inspection and successfully entered the country."
Following the devil cultivator's words, Li Qiubai's expression remained calm, but a cold look flashed across his eyes at this moment.
Yanlan Pass is the human city gate of the Zhongtian Territory. It is a pass guarding the battlefield outside the territory and is equivalent to the Yumen Pass in the Eastern Territory.
This is the lifeline of Zhongtian Realm, and is jointly guarded by Tianji Temple and Daxia.
But in such a place, there are actually cultivators who take the initiative to bring in the demon clan elders?
This is like inviting a wolf into the house. The seriousness of the matter is beyond imagination.
"As for Xuanzun's purpose..." the leading demon cultivator continued, shaking his head in panic, "I have no idea. Xuanzun brought us into the human domain just to let us use our own abilities to maintain this space channel, so that he can return to the Tianmen domain through this channel later. We don't know much about other things. I have never heard of the bloody massacre of King Qing that you mentioned, and I don't understand it at all."
Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but take a look at the small space passage behind the leading demon cultivator.
At this moment, he finally understood the story behind the "God-killing War" and what the special mission that the Blood Lord was carrying out was as mentioned in the event introduction.
He was surprised at that time that the game plot planned and written by Jiu Tian was clearly very logical.
But that time, the Blood Demon Lord was not restrained or bound in the Black Abyss. Why was he trapped in the Black Abyss?
This is so illogical!
Now that I think about it, this must be the reason why the Blood Demon Lord was trapped in the Abyss and could not leave.
——He was ordered to guard this space channel and must not leave until Xuan Zun returned.
That is why, even at the last moment, the Blood Demon Lord would rather die than leave the Abyss.
Everything is to protect this space channel!
