Chapter 335 The Demon Lord Appears



Chapter 335 The Demon Lord Appears

The pets tried to approach, but were kept out by the black vortex.

"Mo Ming!" Song Yufei's pupils shrank sharply as she tried to resist with her spiritual power. However, the moment she came into contact with the black light, she felt her spiritual energy completely out of control—the power of the vortex not only devoured the external spiritual energy but also directly suppressed the cultivator's fundamental power!

The next second, everything went black before their eyes, and they were completely sucked into the depths of the pool.

After an unknown amount of time, Mo Ming regained consciousness first and found himself in a gloomy environment.

He slowly stood up, his gaze quickly sweeping over his surroundings. There was only cold, desolate darkness here, surrounded by a dim halo of light, and the ground beneath his feet... was actually solidified bronze.

"Where is this?" Mo Ming frowned. He tried to mobilize his spiritual power, but found that it was extremely suppressed, leaving him with less than 30% of his original strength.

"Song Yufei?" he shouted immediately, but only his own voice echoed back.

"Stop shouting, I'm here." A familiar voice came from not far away.

Song Yufei emerged from behind a bronze pillar. She looked slightly more disheveled than Mo Ming, and her spiritual energy fluctuations were weak, indicating that she had also been significantly affected.

"It seems we've been transported to some kind of sealed land." Song Yufei looked around, her gaze falling on a huge and menacing altar. The altar was covered with dense ancient runes, and in the very center of the altar—there was a crack.

Dark, gloomy mist slowly wafted from the crack, like an entrance to another dimension.

"It seems the power of the vortex brought us here." Mo Ming walked to the altar, staring at the gradually surging black mist, his eyes flashing with a complex expression.

"What exactly is being suppressed down there?" Song Yufei asked, frowning.

“This is no ordinary thing,” Mo Ming whispered. “The more dangerous the place, the more valuable the item.”

"No need to say more," Song Yufei interrupted coldly. "The fact that this place can suppress spiritual energy and has been sealed for so long must mean that it hides some kind of great danger. The important thing now is to find a way out, not to continue taking risks."

Before she finished speaking, the bronze altar trembled again, and a soft murmur came from the depths of the melting cracks.

"My slumber... will eventually end..."

The mist deep within the crevice suddenly churned violently, and a pair of crimson eyes slowly opened, from which a blurry figure emerged…

In an instant, the entire space began to tremble violently, as if an ancient seal had been torn apart. The ancient runes on the bronze ground gradually glowed with a crimson light, as if warning or resisting.

The blurry figure gradually became clearer from the crack, but even though it was just an outline, it already exuded a suffocating pressure.

Mo Ming and Song Yufei's expressions suddenly tightened, and an indescribable sense of oppression rose in their hearts, as if even their souls were being spied on under that crimson gaze.

"Step back!" Song Yufei hissed, immediately grabbing Mo Ming's arm and pulling the two of them back a few steps.

However, the blurry figure moved slightly, and the black mist that filled the entire space suddenly rushed towards the two of them, like a series of greedy mouths, trying to devour them completely.

"Make your move!" Mo Ming's eyes turned cold. He quickly gathered spiritual power in his right hand and threw a punch. The spiritual power instantly burned in the air, turning into a dazzling white light, like a sharp blade tearing through the darkness, directly piercing through the fog.

boom!

The burst of flames temporarily illuminated the surrounding space, and the blurry figure finally revealed a clearer outline—its form was neither human nor inhuman, its body tall, as if it were bound by countless chains and shackles.

Its crimson eyes gleamed with a cold-blooded light, and its body, though mostly bound by cracks, still exuded power. It seemed unable to completely break free of the seal, but its soul-corroding gaze seemed to be scrutinizing who had trespassed into its territory.

"My slumber... was awakened by two insignificant ants..."

The deep voice rang out again, filled with antiquity and coldness, seemingly mixed with endless hatred and anger, "Mere humans, how dare you trespass on my prison...!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the tall figure suddenly struggled with all his might!

The ancient runes in the crack exploded, and several dark gray chains broke off.

Instantly, the oppressive feeling in the entire space intensified, and Mo Ming and Song Yufei could barely stand. The remaining spiritual energy in their bodies trembled like leaking sand and was suppressed even more in an instant.

"It's about to break free of the seal!" Song Yufei's expression changed drastically, a deep unease rising within her. "We must leave immediately!"

Mo Ming pursed his lips, staring at the entity within the crack, and said in a low voice, "No, if it gets out, we won't have a chance to escape. We have to do something—stop it from breaking completely."

"Stop it?" Song Yufei sneered. "Destroying that altar is enough. As long as the seal exists, it won't break free without restraint!" With that, she pulled a slender longsword from her waist and charged toward the altar with the last bit of spiritual power she had left.

"Wait!" Mo Ming tried to stop him, but it was too late!

Song Yufei's sword light slashed fiercely towards the edge of the altar, but the instant it touched the runes, her sword shattered, and she was violently thrown back by the recoil, crashing into the bronze pillar.

He let out a muffled groan, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his hand gripping the sword trembling slightly, clearly indicating a serious injury.

"It's no use." The being within the crack let out a cold laugh. "My prison is not something that ants can shake. If you wish to obstruct me, I will bestow upon you endless despair!"

As soon as the words fell, the black mist suddenly rolled, and a large number of chains surged out from the cracks, turning into several ferocious claw shadows, grabbing at Song Yufei and Mo Ming, who was still standing by the altar!

Mo Ming's gaze sharpened, and he immediately activated the Five Elements Array, forcibly injecting his spiritual power into it. The moment the array's light exploded, he shot towards Song Yufei like an arrow, pulling her away from her original spot.

boom--

The claw-like shadow slammed into the spot where the two had been standing, cracking the bronze ground and instantly swallowing the ground into a dark abyss.

At the same time, the Five Elements Formation was fully formed, and the five terrifying demonic souls instantly surrounded the demon, showering it with spiritual power like a storm.

However, the results seem unsatisfactory.

"You actually know how to set up this kind of battle formation..." Song Yufei gasped for breath, clutching her chest, and looked at Mo Ming, unable to help but ask.

Mo Ming gave a wry smile: "I obtained it by chance in the secret realm. I estimate that the battle formation will not be of much use to it. At most, it can only delay its movements."

We need to think of another way... Attacking is useless, and might even provoke it.

Before the words were even finished, the being in the crack seemed to truly be enraged; its struggles became even more violent, and more chains began to break.

The black mist in the space swept in like a tide, instantly engulfing most of the open space around the altar, and approaching the two step by step.
