The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 717: Chapter 358 Demonfall City_2
 

Therefore, Tai Xuan Dao Palace had focused its defenses on the three Spirit Cities of the Demon race. If they were conquered by the Demon Tribe, there was still a chance to strike back. However, if taken by the Demon race, the Dark Abyss would expand to this area, causing the regions conquered by Humans to become a demon domain, a place where cultivators could not easily step foot.

Perhaps the Body Fusion Demon wandering in this Spirit City was there to guard the city and maintain this passage.

Lin Yi stood not far outside the city, on a small hill, watching as demons roamed out through the three city gates. Creatures were also flying above the city walls, each with blood-red eyes and twisted bodies, full of terror.

He felt that the world behind the Dark Abyss would be even more terrifying. The previous Xuan Yin Sect had connected to another world, and the world behind this Dark Abyss must be of a higher level and even more dreadful than the one connected by the Xuan Yin Sect.

Like the various types of the Demon Tribe, the demons of the same realm also had different species—some humanoid, some demon-like, and some indescribable. The only commonality was their thirst for fresh blood and life, as well as their murderous hearts.

More importantly, after slaying a demon of the Demon race, one could not find their Primordial Spirit at all, as if they were like manufactured biological weapons.

Even if Lin Yi wanted to purify and save the Primordial Spirit of the demons, he could not do it. As for those demons not yet dead, he had tried before; the Rebirth Charm had no effect at all, and his Hua Tuo incarnation currently lacked the three auras of creation and couldn’t attempt using the Golden Human Energy.

He could only hope to find the opportunity to conduct experiments after returning to his main body later. However, after this rescue mission for Xu Yu Rou, he would not go anywhere else but focus on enhancing his cultivation level to the Body Fusion Realm among the Demon Tribe.

To see if his three incarnations could merge with him or, rather, if only the three auras of creation could merge into one.

If all went as expected, upon reaching Fusion, his power would undergo an even greater qualitative change. By then, even the Tribulation Demon Patriarch would not be his match.

However, through the Eye of Emptiness, Lin Yi could sense the aura of the Body Fusion demons within the city, but not Xu Yu Rou’s. Trying to let the Eye of Emptiness probe deeper, he finally sensed some presence beneath the ground.

He guessed that Xu Yu Rou must have accidentally entered a concealed Formation laid out by someone of the Fusion Realm, which was how she had managed to survive among the Demon race for so long.

However, after this accidental intrusion, escaping would not be an easy matter; a Formation laid out by someone of the Fusion Realm was not easily broken.

With her Lower-grade Spiritual Roots, Xu Yu Rou had become of the Deification Realm and, even with the aptitude bestowed by his teaching, it had taken her a long time. With the limited time left, she could at most study a Pill, and it was impossible for her to delve into Formations again.

A cultivator who didn’t have a deep understanding of Formations could not possibly break a Formation established by someone of the Fusion Realm.

Through the deeper sensing of the Eye of Emptiness, he also detected other presences within the Formation. It seemed that Xu Yu Rou was not the only one who had entered the Formation.

Having confirmed the location, Lin Yi did not waste any more time. He took out the bee from his Spirit Pet Bag, activated the Teleportation Effect, and entered the Minor Blessing State to begin stealthily moving through the city with Instant Teleport.

This Spirit City, previously conquered by the Demon race, was formerly known as Demon Control Spirit City, which meant to resist the demon race, not to command it. Only, after its fall, it was renamed to Demonfall City.

Moving through the city with the effect of Instant Teleport, not even a trace of Spiritual Power fluctuation was emitted, so the surrounding demons were naturally not attracted.

The buildings inside the city were mostly intact, albeit a bit dilapidated. However, it seemed that the contents of the city might have been thoroughly looted, as he didn’t sense any presence of Spiritual Energy.

Soon, Lin Yi arrived at the City Lord Mansion within the Spirit City, which was precisely the location sensed by the Eye of Emptiness.

However, inside the City Lord Mansion, a Body Fusion Demon roamed; although humanoid in appearance, it bore no resemblance to humans.

This demon beast had three legs as sharp as swords and two arms with pointed claws for hands. Its head was even more abstract, with a mouth like an abyss and a single blood-red eye. It emitted strange and horrifying sounds from time to time, exuding a fearsome aura.

Such asymmetrical creatures could only be born in a distorted world.

Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel distressed for his direct disciple, who had accidentally fallen amongst the Demon race under the space-time turbulence. Opening his eyes to these terrifying demon beasts was an unimaginable shock to the soul.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The cultivation world below, although very cruel, was at least a normal world. These demons were entirely disgusting and frightening beings.

This combined demon seemed to possess a certain level of spiritual wisdom. Its single blood-red eye was ceaselessly scanning its surroundings. Although it had no nose, its mouth, gaping like an abyss, opened and closed as if to compensate for its sense of smell.

Even though his power was element-less, it still emitted spiritual power fluctuations. The demon within the City Lord Mansion seemed not to be affected by the restrictions of the Five Elements and, sensing his fluctuations, roared and charged towards him.

Lin Yi smiled and did not entangle with the demon, activating his teleportation ability, he entered deep into the City Lord Mansion.

With his current strength, he probably couldn’t instantly kill this combined demon, so it was better to ignore it. If he got into a tough fight and attracted other demons, it would be a loss.

Although it had a certain level of spiritual wisdom, it was far from developing autonomous intelligence.

Not to mention possessing intelligence equal to the human race, even if it had the wisdom of the Demon Tribe, it would have long conquered the entire Spirit Profound Realm. Neither the human race nor the Demon Tribe would be a match for a demon of such intelligence.

He smoothly entered the underground formation, where a fog appeared before his eyes, so dense he couldn’t see his hand before his face. Looking into the distance, it seemed as though something terrifying was lurking.

Lin Yi was not the least bit flustered. He used the Eye of Emptiness to observe the structure of the formation. According to the Eye of Emptiness’s analysis, this formation had a detection mechanism. If a human invaded, it wouldn’t trigger a deadly mechanism; however, one would become deeply trapped within it, succumbing to an endless Illusion Land.

If one couldn’t break free, the only option would be to wait for death.

Previously in the Lower Realm, he had learned about formations in a secret realm under Dan Immortal Master.

Latter, after obtaining the Eye of Emptiness, his progress in the Dao of formations advanced by leaps and bounds.

Due to the structure of the formation, he could instantly locate the gates of life and death.

After an in-depth observation with the Eye of Emptiness, Lin Yi discovered that deep within the formation there was a small palace, likely the debate and cultivation Cave Mansion of the Spirit City Lord. If he could escape the formation and enter the Cave Mansion, he might be able to hold on.

Once he was familiar with the structure of the formation, he began to search for Xu Yu Rou’s whereabouts. Although transforming into his original form and following the lines of cause and effect would make it easier to find her, it could also possibly expose his method of changing identities in the formation.

Soon, he sensed Xu Yu Rou’s presence. She was wandering within the formation alone.

Apart from her, there were two other cultivators wandering. One of them exuded murderous intent and, through the observation of the Eye of Emptiness, was enveloped in a dense, black aura, clearly a person of extreme cruelty.

At this moment, Xu Yu Rou was also injured, and her supply of Pills and Spirit Stones was almost depleted.

Judging by her location, his direct disciple seemed to possess certain aptitude, having broken through two or three layers of the Illusion Land. However, many challenges remained before reaching the Cave Mansion within the formation.

However, for those not proficient in formations, it would be impossible to escape even after wandering for hundreds of years. As for brute force, if one’s realm was higher than the person who set up the formation, there might be a possibility to break it. If the realm was too low, one would only encounter backlash.

The formation was connected to a Spirit Vein below, ensuring that even if the city fell, the formation could still operate using the power of the underground Spirit Vein.

Lin Yi did not use teleportation but instead walked through the formation at will. Quickly, he exited the first formation. He continued to break through the formations ahead, getting closer and closer to Xu Yu Rou.
