Before anyone could react, the demonic soul bodies launched an attack.
Their eyes were vacant, completely devoid of consciousness, like puppets.
Even without consciousness, their demonic attacks were more merciless.
They had become thorough war machines, driven by nothing but an instinct for battle!
These demonic cultivators were their old adversaries.
However, seeing them in such a state, everyone couldn't help but feel a twinge of empathy, a sense of "the rabbit dying, the fox lamenting its loss."
They hadn't known it until now!
The cultivators from the three demonic sects had already become like this.
What about them?
If they were to lose, would they also end up like this?
Unknowing and unaware, yet forcibly driven to do whatever the mastermind wished!
These thoughts didn't linger in their minds for too long.
The demonic souls attacked relentlessly, and the righteous cultivators were forced to respond.
The previously harmonious Cangyuan Sect instantly became a battlefield.
A sinister smile appeared on the giant tree's face.
Nervous?
Afraid?
Terrified?
Let these people fully unleash their despair.
Once their despair reached a certain level, it would be the time for him to devour everything!
The giant tree looked into the distance, and then its branches twitched slightly.
An incredibly powerful force passed through the barrier.
Ming Yan and others, who had been imprisoned by the human race, were instantly released.
"Greetings, Exalted One." Ming Yan and the others looked excited.
Ming Yan even cast a cold glance at the righteous cultivators.
These righteous cultivators were too foolish.
They kept asking who the mastermind was.
Heh.
What good would it do them to know?
They could never imagine how terrifying the Exalted One truly was!
"Go, harvest their fear to your heart's content." The giant tree's mouth opened and closed, its seductive voice spreading far and wide.
Yan Zhonghe and the others responded, joining the battle alongside the demonic souls.
The giant tree paid no attention to the struggle between the two sides, as if it were the most insignificant trifle to it.
It twisted its heavy body and turned, looking with interest at the huge black sphere enveloping Li Shuang and the others.
He had already seen clearly, through countless eyes, how the parasitic demonic seed had been destroyed.
The true form of a high-grade demonic seed was not so easily revealed.
Even on the Central Continent, finding a high-grade demonic seed required a great deal of effort.
This was also the reason Ye Zhaozhao and the high-grade demonic seed were so confident.
Who would have thought that in a place like the Southern Lan Continent, someone could perceive the true form of a high-grade demonic seed?
The giant tree recalled the golden light, a chilling smile playing on its lips.
That was...
Yu Jin's Eye of Truth!
After every high-grade demonic seed died, it would return to its mother's embrace, and after a long period, it would reappear in this world.
And the returning demonic seed would possess unique inherited memories.
Through generations of demonic seeds, almost all high-grade demonic seeds had deeply etched in their minds the image of that terrifying woman.
The City Lord: Yu Jin!
Only her Eye of Truth could so easily perceive the true form of a high-grade demonic seed.
This human named Li Shuang, she was connected to Yu Jin!
He immediately trapped these young disciples for no other reason than to see how many more surprises this Li Shuang could bring him.
What was her relationship with Yu Jin, after all!
Recalling Yu Jin, a trace of apprehension flickered in the giant tree's eyes.
He had to thoroughly test this Li Shuang.
Inside the black sphere, the disciples had immediately gathered together.
Trapped within the black sphere, their perception of the outside world was cut off. At this moment, they were still unaware of the major upheaval occurring within the Cangyuan Sect.
"Who is this scoundrel! How dare they attack within my Cangyuan Sect." Yan Fan said furiously.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, what's the use of shouting now? You should use your limited brain to think about how to get out of here first." Luo Mingyue retorted.
Yan Fan was enraged and about to say something.
Suddenly.
From within the black mist.
Several grotesque creatures slowly walked out.
These monsters had bizarre appearances; some had seven heads and six arms, some had only a massive mouth on their entire head, and some had very disproportionate facial features and limbs, as if they were made up of thousands of people's features forcibly pieced together onto one body.
These young disciples had also undergone many trials.
But.
This was the first time they had seen such strange creatures!
"What! What are these things!" someone murmured, a hint of fear rising in their heart.
As soon as their fear emerged, the black aura around these monsters immediately intensified.
"These monsters are getting stronger! They're absorbing something to grow stronger!" someone exclaimed.
But.
Why were they growing stronger?
Everyone hadn't figured it out yet.
Before they could think clearly, all seven monsters snarled, revealing their cold teeth, and lunged at the disciples.
"Don't be afraid, I have a magic treasure given to me by the sect." Yan Fan suddenly said, trying to retrieve a magic treasure from his storage bag.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
Inside this sphere, spatial power was blocked, and he couldn't connect with his storage bag.
Others also discovered this, and their expressions changed dramatically.
Most of their treasures were kept in storage bags. At this moment, with spatial power unusable, the only thing they could still access were their 본명 (natal) artifacts!
"Everyone, don't scatter! Form a formation, and defend together!" Li Shuang's calm voice rang out.
"You all just defend; I'll kill the monsters!"
Li Shuang told everyone not to scatter, but she herself directly confronted the monsters.
"Xiao Shuang!" Luo Mingyue and the others were a bit anxious.
They wanted to help Li Shuang, but they were afraid of hindering her performance, so they didn't dare to act rashly.
Yan Fan had no such reservations. He confidently shouted, "I'll fight alongside you."
He rushed to Li Shuang's side with his Blazing Heaven Sword, and the two stood shoulder to shoulder, blocking the monsters from the disciples.
Li Shuang looked at Yan Fan somewhat helplessly: "Fellow Daoist Yan, please go back and help defend. This battle is not something you can participate in."
These seven monsters.
Their strength was not clearly revealed, but Li Shuang had faced demonic seeds before, and she vaguely felt that these seven demonic seeds were probably at least at the Mahayana level!
The only way now was for others to defend with all their might.
She would take them down one by one!
Except for her, no one else could directly harm a Mahayana-level cultivator.
Yan Fan raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean by that! You only barely defeated me; if you can fight, I naturally can too."
