Chapter 389 The Primordial Essence

Boom!

As Gu Yijian unleashed his sword strike, an astonishing aura erupted from the stone tower. The phantom of the longsword suspended above the tower was now filled with countless sword lights, blocking Gu Yijian's attack.

"Boundless sword intent!"

Gu Yijian unleashed another sword strike, the sword-shaped pendant in his hand emitting a soft green light, enhancing his longsword. The sword strike was vast, and the surrounding air was instantly stirred up.

This sword strike seemed to subtly shatter the sword light surrounding the tower forest.

"So strong!"

"Gu Yijian actually possesses such strength?"

"No, it's not his own power, but the pendant. That pendant must be a relic left behind by some powerful person."

Everyone was surprised.

Even Zhou Xuanmei was filled with apprehension at this moment, as she had indeed underestimated Gu Yijian.

"Could this person truly obtain the inheritance of Xuan Yue Wuying?"

She couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Outside of Tallinn.

"This Gu Yijian is not bad either."

Xuan Yue Tong Jian couldn't help but remark that he could see that Xuan Yue Qian Tang seemed quite dissatisfied with Zhou Xuan Mei. If Gu Yi Jian could obtain the inheritance, that would be even better.

But Xuan Yue Qian Tang simply shook her head: "She's courting death."

She knows too much about the legacy of Xuan Yue Wu Ying.

She had even considered the tower before, but later realized that it was all wishful thinking. Unless the Xuan Yue clan truly produced a genius of unparalleled talent, it would be nothing but a delusion to bring back the legacy of Xuan Yue Wuying.

……

Before the second layer of the tower forest.

Gu Yijian's sword light was almost able to break through the defenses—

But it is at this very moment.

A chilling, black demonic aura suddenly emanated from it, its power so great that it caused the temperature in the entire second level of the tower forest to plummet.

"not good……"

"He has aroused the demonic energy within the stone tower. We're doomed! Quick, we have to get out of here!"

"Yes, if we stay here, we might all go crazy!"

All the Taoist masters were astonished upon seeing this.

Having been injured by Zhou Xuanmei, they could only crawl out with difficulty.

Their movements were slow, and a layer of white frost inexplicably formed on their bodies; even their breath quickly turned into snowflakes.

The chilling aura emanating from the demons has already affected the surrounding world.

Even Zhou Xuanmei left immediately without lingering.

"court death!"

She gave a cold laugh.

However, facing the malice of the demons, Gu Yijian shouted, "Quickly, the Three Talents Formation!"

He suddenly took out three more talismans, holding one in his own hand and handing the other two to Li Lan and Gongsun Moxuan.

As he instructed, Li Lan and Gongsun Moxuan stood guard beside him. A terrifying chill emanated from the glowing talismans, which converged on Gu Yijian's sword-shaped pendant. Within the pendant, a faint phantom seemed to appear, and wherever that phantom went, it actually blocked the malice of many demons.

"Damn it, if there were more people, that would be great!"

Gu Yijian's face was extremely ugly. He could feel that the demonic malice that was erupting at this moment was only the beginning.

And there is an endless stream of demonic malice about to pour out from the tower.

His sword-shaped pendant actually concealed a true meaning, but he couldn't fully unleash it with his own power alone, which is why he had been searching for someone.

"It's all that bitch Zhou Xuanmei's fault!"

He couldn't help but speak angrily. If it weren't for her, and if he had more people around him, would he be in such a predicament right now?

"I'll fight you to the death! I refuse to believe I can't defeat you!"

With a loud shout, Gu Yijian unleashed all his spiritual power, drawing upon the strength of Li Lan and Gongsun Moxuan. He then slashed forward with his sword, spitting out a mouthful of blood that transformed into flames!

This is practically a desperate measure.

"court death!?"

"Has he gone mad?"

"If this fails, it will completely unleash the demonic energy within the stone tower, and we'll be doomed!"

Everyone was shocked.

Outside the tower, Xuan Yue Qian Tang simply shook her head slightly.

Another one courting death!

Boom!

Sure enough, the next moment, a terrifying sound erupted, and a vast demonic aura appeared, instantly sweeping across the entire Tower Forest.

"No, run away!"

"What on earth did this guy mess with..."

"We're doomed, we'll be implicated too!"

All the Celestial Masters in the Pagoda Forest were shocked. They hurriedly fled, not even daring to linger in the first level of the Pagoda Forest.

Zhou Xuanmei also withdrew immediately.

At this moment, the entire Xuan Yue clan's tower forest had transformed into a demonic realm, filled with swirling demonic energy and extreme cold. Anyone who approached it was driven back by the biting chill.

The tower was completely shrouded in demonic energy, and no one could see anything inside anymore.

"Prepare to activate the Celestial Master Protector Array."

Xuan Yue Qian Tang said calmly, "His reckless behavior may have alerted something he shouldn't have."

Xuan Yue Tong Jian, who was standing nearby, was immediately startled.

He vaguely knew that the reason the Xuan Yue clan placed all the Celestial Masters' tombs here, forming a pagoda forest, was not only for commemoration and inheritance, but also for another purpose...

Hidden within this forest of pagodas lies something extraordinary.

Once it is born, the entire Dongye Prefecture will probably be completely overturned!

Therefore, he immediately became extremely solemn and activated the formation. Around the tower forest, amazing pillars of light appeared, and the light intertwined in the sky above the tower forest to form a vast net that suppressed everything.

At this moment, amidst the vast aura of demons.

"It's over..."

Gu Yijian's face was extremely ugly. He said, "Damn it, just how much demonic energy did Xuan Yue Wuying absorb before she died?"

"Why do I get the feeling that Xuan Yue Wuying isn't a Celestial Master, but rather a demon...?"

The demonic energy erupting at this moment far exceeded his initial expectations.

Even the Three Talents Formation is on the verge of collapse.

"You don't need to feel it, he is him."

At that moment, Li Lan slowly began to speak.

He looked up and saw the astonishing sight in the tower forest—three terrifying, towering demonic shadows were tearing a sword-wielding celestial master into three pieces, chewing and devouring him!

That was the scene before Xuan Yue Wu Ying died.

In his attempt to break through to the Immortal King realm, he risked his life by absorbing the malice of demons into his body. Unexpectedly, his own soul could not withstand the evil intentions of the three demons, and in the end, his own divine soul was devoured...

In his final moments, Xuan Yue Wuying exhausted all his strength and committed suicide.

To avoid truly transforming oneself into a demon.

Therefore, the Celestial Master power left behind by Xuan Yue Wuying in this tower is extremely weak, while the power of the three-headed demon is extremely strong.

It was even more astonishing than the demonic energy in the Southern Marshland of the Purple Wood Clan.

"It's over..."

Gu Yijian had also seen it clearly. His body turned cold, and he said, "Brother Wu Chang, Sister Mo Xuan, this time, the three of us are completely finished."

"I, Gu, have failed to protect you all; I feel truly ashamed!"

He was miserable and wretched.

Among the three demonic figures, a giant three-headed bat flapped its wings, its enormous claws reaching out to grab the three of them!

boom!

The sword-shaped pendant in Gu Yijian's hand exploded, losing its last bit of protection.

Gu Yijian simply closed his eyes and awaited his death.

But right now!

"Universal love and non-aggression are the strongest defense in the world!"

A clear, melodious female voice rang out. Gongsun Moxuan had already stepped forward. With a wave of her hand, a Great Wall seemed to appear in front of the three of them, blocking the three-headed bat's fatal attack!

The malice of the demons, which surged like a tidal wave, was completely blocked.

"what?!"

Gu Yijian suddenly opened his eyes and saw this scene. His face was filled with disbelief. He stared at Gongsun Moxuan, somewhat dumbfounded.

At this moment, Gongsun Moxuan, without relying on any external objects, single-handedly used her magic to block the malice of these demons.

How is this possible...?

Even an eighth-rank Celestial Master probably couldn't do that!

"You, you, you, you..."

He was stammering, "How did you do that?"

So, Gongsun Moxuan is actually this strong?

Isn't this outrageous?

He still believed that he was the eldest of the three.

After issuing orders for so long, it turns out that Gongsun Moxuan was just cooperating with his performance?

Suddenly, he understood why Gongsun Moxuan seemed to ignore him when he came in...

Even with the sword-shaped pendant in his hand, he still can't compare to Gongsun Moxuan.

For a moment, he felt his self-esteem crumble!

"Sister, you're so strong, why didn't you show your strength sooner? If I adjusted my tactics, we still had a chance to win..."

He couldn't help but say with a complicated expression, "But it's too late now. No matter how talented or how strong your potential is, you can't possibly withstand the malice of three demons all by yourself..."

"Who said I'm alone?"

But Gongsun Moxuan rolled her eyes at him, then looked at Li Lan and said, "Brother Wu Chang!"

Brother Wu Chang!

Gu Yijian was startled again, and he couldn't help but look at Li Lan...

No way, no way, could Wu Chang be a big shot too?

At that moment, two more demonic thoughts rushed over from within the stone tower—

It was an undead warrior riding a skeletal warhorse, and a yaksha with a ferocious face!

The three demons, filled with malevolent intent, arrived simultaneously. Gongsun Moxuan's face turned pale instantly. After all, her cultivation was still shallow, and the city wall formed by the Mo family's cultivation technique collapsed and disappeared in an instant.

The three evil demons have already arrived!

But at that moment, Li Lan finally stepped forward and stood in front of Gongsun Moxuan.

He didn't use any magic, nor did he raise his hand; he simply looked calmly at the three demons.

The three demons were enraged and their malevolent intent surged towards him—

But the next moment—

"Hiss—"

The three demons simultaneously let out a series of shrill screams.

It was as if a devil had been thrown into a vat of boiling oil, or a demon had been cast into purgatory; a vast malice flowed into Li Lan's eyes.

His pupils were like a vast universe, an abyss that swallowed everything!

He absorbed all the demonic malice from before, and his eyes grew brighter and brighter, as if a terrifying sword shadow was forming...

Seeing this, Gongsun Moxuan's beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief. She looked at Li Lan's back and clenched her fists in excitement.

Gu Yijian trembled even more, he was completely trembling, and he almost knelt down.

What kind of magic is this? What kind of supernatural power is it?

The three demons were extremely malicious. Even if a fifth or sixth-rank celestial master came, he would probably only be beaten. But now, Li Lan was just standing there, and the three demons could not even take a step forward.
