The underworld is vast and majestic.

When everyone saw this, they were all startled and their originally relaxed steps became heavy.

After a while, the turbid and unclear Netherworld Yellow Spring River meandered out from the depths of darkness.

The surface of the river was spitting out foam and emitting a strange light, as if it was a link between the yin and yang worlds, carrying a smell of decay.

It makes people feel afraid when they see it.

At the same time, the air temperature around dropped sharply, and the breath of living people seemed particularly weak in this cold environment.

Gu Xuan took out a spirit boat, and everyone jumped on it and headed towards the depths of the tomb.

The boat was on the river, they moved forward cautiously, they could faintly hear bursts of low chanting, it seemed some kind of ritual was going on.

The scene before them shocked them.

I saw that in the middle of the Yellow Spring was a huge altar.

At this time, around the altar, there were rows of monks wearing black robes and skull masks.

Each of them held a staff, chanted spells, and their eyes flashed with greed and fanaticism.

In the center of the altar stands an intricately carved stone statue, depicting an ancient Taoist priest with a hideous look, wearing a tattered Taoist robe and with a distorted and ferocious face.

Behind him were actually twelve Taoist heads, with eyes wide open and mouths wide open, all looking in different directions.

"This is?"

Everyone looked at the altar above. In addition to the strange figure, there were also countless scattered bones and blood, piled up densely.

It emits a disgusting stench.

"This should be the Taoist Master Guangfa from the Netherworld. The twelve heads represent the four directions, and the open mouth means that he is spreading the Dharma."

Someone spoke.

Ye Yang looked at the corpses near the altar, all of which had signs of being bitten by humans, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"It is said that the cultivators in the underworld feed on the corpses of cultivators like us. Now it seems to be true."

These bones were obviously victims of sacrifice, and the blood formed a complex runic pattern on the altar.

The monks present glanced at the scattered bones and bloodstains, and most of them were filled with anger and anxiety.

Because they did see that these corpses did not die of natural causes, but were eaten alive and then sacrificed.

"The atmosphere here is too weird. We must leave here as soon as possible."

Master Qingmu was a rare formation master among the crowd. He whistled and a huge formation appeared around him.

The formation was made up of countless giant golden locks connected in series, faintly forming the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams formation.

The runes and lines are complicated, emitting a faint blue light, giving people a very peaceful feeling.

"This is the 'Escape Golden Lock Formation', which will allow us to leave here quickly."

Aoki Masato said in a deep voice.

"Everyone, come in."

Everyone immediately gathered around and entered the range of the formation.

Masamune Aoki made seals with his hands and chanted an ancient spell.

As his voice rang out, the formation began to slowly rotate, and the light became brighter and brighter.

Suddenly, a strong light flashed,

The entire formation disappeared in an instant, taking everyone away from this eerie and terrifying place.

When the light of the formation dissipated.

Everyone was instantly teleported to a dark area in a burst of strong light.

There was a decayed smell all around, and there seemed to be a faint smell of blood in the air.

"What is this place?" Ye Yang asked with a frown, looking around vigilantly.

Aoki Masato said in a low voice with a solemn expression.

"The last time I explored this cave with Fellow Daoist Gu, I marked the location. It was completely different from what it looked like then. It seems that some changes have taken place here that we are not aware of."

Ye Yang opened his eyes slightly, two sword lights flashed in his eyes, and the dark scene in front of him immediately brightened up in his eyes.

Through the thick and gloomy fog, Ye Yang could see some faint flames not far away.

He motioned for everyone to follow him and walked carefully towards the light source.

As they got closer, they were shocked by the sight before them.

That wasn't fire at all; it was a huge pool of blood, emitting a bloody red light.

Corpses were floating in the pool of blood, and the blood-red liquid was rolling and boiling, emitting a disgusting smell.

"This...what is this?"

Ye Yang took a deep breath, as if he had thought of something, and spoke in a deep voice.

"This is the Blood Pool of Living Beings. The reason why the monks of the Netherworld and Yellow Springs killed so many monks is because they need to extract the blood and bones of the monks to forge this Blood Pool of Living Beings."

"These blood pools of living beings can help cultivators absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth faster and break through the realm."

When everyone heard this, they felt angry and frightened.

In pursuit of power, the monks of the Netherworld are willing to kill countless innocent lives.

This is certainly worth being angry about.

But at the same time, a kind of greed was quietly spreading in everyone's hearts.

Breaking through the realm is an indescribable temptation for all cultivators.

People practice cultivation and try to break through the realm in order to achieve immortality.

No one wants to die.

In the face of Changsheng, all the relationships between father and son, and Taoist partners are fake.

Since the Netherworld has this thing, why not let them use it?
Soon someone opened his mouth. The voice was deep and firm.

"Can we also make use of this pool of blood of living beings?"

These words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Everyone looked at each other, with complicated expressions in their eyes.

For a moment, the scene was still.

Master Ye Yang frowned and glanced at everyone with a stern gaze. He had obviously noticed that this greedy emotion was quietly growing.

"Everyone, please be patient."

"This alliance, which was built with great difficulty, cannot be torn apart by an external factor."

Gu Xuan also noticed that something was wrong and began to question.

"Although the blood pool of the living beings in the Netherworld Yellow Spring has extraordinary effects, it was created using the blood of innocent monks who were killed."

"Once you use it, you will be assimilated by the energy of the netherworld. Can you accept this?"

"The path of cultivating immortals is to go against the will of heaven. You are all old men now. Now that you have transformed into the body of the netherworld, not only will you lose all your cultivation, but you will also have no place to stay in the cultivation world, and even the forces behind you will be investigated."

Gu Xuan spoke.

The heat and greed in some people's eyes gradually disappeared.

However, there were still some people who were hesitant, their eyes shifted back and forth between the blood pool of living creatures and their companions, and their inner struggle was clearly visible.

Seeing this, Ye Yang sighed. He knew that the most terrible thing had happened.

In this world, no matter how powerful the enemy is, he is not scary.

The most terrifying thing is to break in from the inside.

Those who have achieved some success in spiritual practice still find it difficult to control themselves in the face of these temptations.

Then those monks who have reached the end of their lifespan or have just started practicing will definitely find it difficult to resist such temptation.

It may even help the evil.

In order to achieve a breakthrough in his cultivation, he was willing to be assimilated by it and become a lackey of the Netherworld.

"Several years ago, the Dayun Dynasty was strong, and Ren Taxian defeated several Dao ancestors of the Netherworld and Yellow Spring alone."

"But now the Dayun Dynasty is also unable to take care of itself, and the situation of Ren Taxian is even more strange and abnormal. How should we deal with it all of a sudden?"

Ye Yang let out a breath.

I didn't choose to say more at this moment.

(two)

Because he knew that any words at this moment seemed pale and powerless.

At this time, Master Aoki also noticed the strangeness of the situation, nodded and agreed.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, you are right. We cultivators pursue the Way of Heaven, not the evil way. Although the blood pool of living beings is tempting, it only brings destruction and corruption."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold voice came from the darkness.

"What a joke! To pursue the great path, one must naturally go all out at all costs and use all one's strength to fight for it. This is the way it should be."

"Are you trying to stop other Taoist friends from achieving immortality?"

Everyone immediately became alert and looked forward.

Several monks in black robes slowly walked out of the shadows, their eyes flashing with greed and madness.

Without exception, they all have a dark and misty aura of the underworld.

The leading black-robed monk sneered.

"You have come at the right time. With the flesh and blood of you cultivators, the power of the Blood Pool of Living Beings will be even stronger, and we will soon be able to break through to a higher level." After saying that, the black-robed man in the lead took the lead. He moved the magic formula in his hand, and a bright sword light rushed straight towards Ye Yang and others.

Other monks also joined the battle and displayed their unique skills.

The two sides engaged in a fierce confrontation.

The battle was extremely fierce, and the entire tomb was filled with the roar of spells.

Ye Yang looked carefully.

These people who suddenly appeared were quite powerful, especially the leader, who should have reached the Golden Core realm.

What's more, this is their home ground and they have no worries, so every move they make is extremely powerful.

However, Ye Yang keenly noticed that the blood pool was unusual and there seemed to be something hidden inside.

I didn't choose to take action immediately.

Instead, be on guard in secret.

Sure enough, after a while.

Just as the battle was entering a white-hot stage.

Suddenly, a powerful aura surged out of the blood pool of living creatures, as if something was about to break out of the pool.

As soon as the words fell, a blinding red light suddenly burst out from the blood pool of living creatures.

A huge blood-red figure appeared bathed in blood. It was a monster formed from blood, emitting a terrifying aura and with a lot of bone fragments hanging on its body.

A pair of blood-red eyes stared at everyone, full of murderous intent.

But the moment he saw this face, Ye Yang couldn't help but be stunned.

"It is the Lord of Heaven's Will, Spring and Autumn."

The blood-colored figure, wearing a long gown, was bathed in blood, but his face was square and full of majesty.

There was disbelief and shock in Ye Yang's voice.

He had once seen this peerless strong man who lived fifty thousand years ago when he was exploring the tomb with Gu Xuan.

It is said that he died in a great battle, but unexpectedly he was resurrected in this way.

The bloody figure slowly stood up and glanced at everyone. Those blood-red eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

His voice was low and authoritative.

"How dare you, people, disturb my sleep."

Ye Yang and Gu Xuan looked at each other and saw deep uneasiness in each other's eyes.

The main reason was that the two of them had actually dealt with this Lord of Spring and Autumn, the Will of Heaven, and knew how terrible he was.

Moreover, Feitian Sect has also inherited most of the opponent's Four Symbols of Heaven's Will and knows its power.

They knew that facing such an existence, any rash action could lead to disastrous consequences.

"The other party had already died, but Netherworld Huangquan had a special method to find his bones and resurrect him."

Ye Yang took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lord Tianyi Chunqiu waved his hand, and a powerful force swept over in an instant.

Wind, fire, thunder and lightning intertwined into a destructive storm.

The wind was howling, the flames were blazing, the thunder was roaring, and the lightning was darting through the air like a snake.

It filled the entire space for a moment.

Everyone felt tremendous pressure and used all their magic power to resist this force.

The immortal old demon in the Tiangang realm has been dead for countless tens of thousands of years.

However, after being resurrected by Youming Huangquan through strange means, his strength did not decrease at all.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Gu Xuan reminded loudly, and at the same time activated his magic weapon, the huge Heaven-shaking Demon Hammer, which clicked three times in a row. The hammer was as big as a house and went straight to the Lord of Tianyi Chunqiu.

However, this huge hammer carrying infinite power was swallowed up the moment it came into contact with the storm of wind, fire, thunder and lightning.

Upon seeing this, Master Qingmu quickly used a formation to try to trap Lord Tianyi Chunqiu.

But the figure of Lord Tianyi Chunqiu flashed like a ghost, and in a flash of blood, it was already behind him, easily avoiding all the traps.

There was madness and excitement in his eyes, as if he was enjoying the battle.

"Come on, after fifty thousand years, I'm finally alive."

The voice of the Lord of Heaven's Will was full of enthusiasm and relief.

"You have good cultivation, just in time to replenish my Qi and blood."

When Ye Yang and others heard this, they felt depressed.

"He actually has consciousness, and is not just a puppet that was simply resurrected by the Netherworld."

This moment.

Ye Yang's heart was in turmoil. He keenly realized that the death of Tianyi Chunqiu Lord was not as simple as he had imagined.

Especially since the other party built his tomb on the passage between the underworld and the world of cultivation.

Perhaps, something was planned thousands of years ago.

The things behind it are definitely not what people imagine, fighting to the death with the underworld and buried guarding the earth.

Perhaps it is to live a new life after resurrection.

"Kill you, kill you, and I can see the light of day again."

Tianyi Chunqiu Lord's eyes swept across the crowd, revealing a strong desire:

"After I have fully recovered my strength, I will return to the path of immortality and take back everything that belongs to me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lord Tianyi Chunqiu waved the power in his hands again.

Wind, fire, thunder and lightning intertwined into an even more violent storm, sweeping towards everyone.

This time, the power was even stronger, covering almost the entire space.

Gu Xuan gritted his teeth and activated the Heaven-shaking Demon Hammer again, trying to resist this force.

But the huge hammer was blown aside the moment it came into contact with the storm.

Gu Xuan himself was blown away by the powerful shock wave and fell to the ground.

"As expected of you, you are Tian Gang Zhenren."

Gu Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood.

Just as this blood shadow continued to wreak havoc.

Ye Yang took action.

Swords flew up, and the Yinsui Sword and the Red Maple Sword, which had been silent for who knows how long, appeared again.

The sharpness of the sword was beyond everyone's imagination.

The Yinsui Knife is filled with the rich power of time, as if it can cut through time and space.

The Red Maple Sword flashed with dazzling lightning, and the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Sword Controlling Technique was activated, like the wrath of a celestial being.

The Yinsui Sword drew out sharp tracks, with bursts of blade light and flashing cold light, which was going to turn all the enemy's defenses into nothingness.

At the same time, lightning flashed on the Red Maple Sword, and every swing was accompanied by a deafening thunder that tore the surrounding air apart.

Lord Tianyi Chunqiu felt Ye Yang's powerful aura and was shocked.

He originally thought that these younger generations were just insignificant little characters, but he didn't expect that there were such powerful ones among them.

His eyes were solemn, he didn't dare to underestimate Ye Yang anymore, and he tried his best to deal with his attack.

"There is actually a cultivator at the Tiangang level hiding here. He has some skills."

There was a hint of weirdness in the blood shadow's eyes.

But Ye Yang didn't take the other party's words to heart.

Ye Yang swung the Yinsui Knife in his hand, and the power of time condensed into an invisible sharp edge, pointing directly at the heart of the Lord of Tianyi Chunqiu.

The Lord of Spring and Autumn of Tianyi hurriedly waved his hands, mobilizing the four elements of wind, fire, thunder and lightning to form a solid barrier.

However, the blade of the knife was so sharp that it penetrated the barrier and hit him directly in the chest.

Although no fatal injuries were caused, Tianyi Chunqiu Lord felt a strange force invading his body, making his movements slow down.

He was extremely shocked and felt as if decades of his life had disappeared out of thin air.

This knife can actually affect time!

Then, the red maple sword in Ye Yang's hand also stabbed forward, and the power of thunder and lightning gathered into thick lightning bolts, roaring like a giant dragon and pouncing towards the Lord of Tianyi Chunqiu.

"Both swordsmen are experts, their strength is beyond my expectations!"

Ye Yang continued to launch his offensive. The Yin Sui Knife and the Red Maple Sword seemed to have life in his hands, one attacking and one defending, coordinating perfectly.

The power of time on the Yinsui Sword continued to weaken Tianyi Chunqiuzhu's defense, while the power of thunder and lightning on the Red Maple Sword continued to bombard his body, making it difficult for him to resist.

Tianyi Chunqiu tried his best but still couldn't do anything to Ye Yang.

I had to mobilize all my strength.

The four elements of wind, fire, thunder and lightning spun wildly around him, forming a huge vortex, trying to swallow Ye Yang.

However, Ye Yang's swordsmanship and saber skills were never inferior.

With the help of the Sword Demon Ape's keen intuition.

He moved freely in the storm, and every swing of his sword was extremely accurate, forcing Tianyi Chunqiu Lord to retreat step by step. (End of this chapter)
