Chapter 725: Chapter 633: Great Sect Daoist, Unshakable Menace (Combined Chapter)_2

A new talent related to eyes?

Lou Yi glanced at the Attribute Panel, which already had a rarely used Crow Eye talent.

’The Ghost Eye talent doesn’t seem very useful, after all, I already have a similar Armor-Piercing skill.

However, collecting one more eye-related talent might allow me to synthesize a new talent from the three, and maybe hit the jackpot.’

Lou Yi thought to himself, then included the Ghost Eye talent on the Attribute Panel, simultaneously initiating it.

Outside the Dark Swamp, new cultivators constantly joined the battlefield, barely holding back the rampaging demons.

After a day’s fierce battle, the demon’s momentum began to rapidly weaken.

’The demon tide is about to end.’ Many cultivators had this thought, unable to help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Cleansing demons is not an easy task, not to mention the lack of benefits and the huge consumption of Spiritual Essence.

Restoring Spiritual Essence in the Abyss is slower than in the main world, and after today’s battle ends, many will take several days to recover to their peak state.

Only Lou Yi at the scene was still somewhat unsatisfied.

After all, demons represent energy.

With so many cultivators working for him for free, his energy had skyrocketed from over forty thousand to more than ninety thousand.

If it could reach one hundred fifty thousand points, he could forcibly deduce and advance the petrification talent at the Perfection Level.

The Petrification Talent was Lou Yi’s first talent and is currently one of the most important talents.

Since he acquired it, it has helped him through countless calamities.

Lou Yi had an inkling that an advancement in the petrification talent could significantly boost his power.

"The demons have almost dispersed." A cultivator said joyfully.

In everyone’s sight, only scattered demons drifted out of the Dark Swamp, and they were all overjoyed.

"Can we dismantle the array now?" A middle-aged red-robed cultivator maintaining the Great Yan Yang Xing Array couldn’t help but ask.

"Wait a bit longer, until the waters of the Dark Swamp are completely calm," the experienced and prudent Trench Patrol Guest from the Weisu District instructed, advising everyone to maintain the array.

The red-robed cultivator frowned but said nothing.

Although the Trench Patrol Guest remained vigilant, most people had already relaxed, knowing that the cleansing operation was nearing its end.

"I haven’t killed enough yet." Lin Xuan grumbled dissatisfiedly.

Due to his rotten luck along the way, he was always being pursued, rarely having a chance like today to kill with abandon.

"Alas, I can’t handle it anymore with my old arms and legs." Elder Gui shook his head, unable to empathize with Lin Xuan.

"After passing the Weisu District, we cross one more district, and we can reach the Fangsu District." He Shu’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

The members of Lin Xuan’s team were casually slaying the few remaining demons while starting to chat casually.

Suddenly.

Lou Yi felt the hair on the back of his neck stand on end, and a tingling sensation quickly spread throughout his body.

"Danger, move quickly!" he shouted.

The other members of Lin Xuan’s team, trusting Lou Yi immensely, retreated as quickly as he did upon hearing his warning.

But the other cultivators around them just stood there, confused as to why this stranger had suddenly gone crazy.

"Ah!" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

As a series of screams rang out, everyone else turned towards the sound with shocked eyes.

At the spot where Lou Yi and his group originally stood, a small patch of shadow gradually appeared.

It was a humanoid monster just more than two zhang tall.

Its entire body was pitch-black like ink, covered with dense keratin layers, and constantly oozing a nauseating black slime that dripped to the ground, making a ’sizzling’ sound of corrosion upon contact.

What was most horrifying was that where its head should have been, there were five crimson eyes.

A large eye surrounded by four smaller ones in three rows, just looking at it made one’s stomach churn, leaving one feeling dizzy and on the verge of vomiting.

"This demon silently broke through the array!" the Trench Patrol Guest said in a mix of shock and anger.

"A four-eyed demon already possesses the strength of a demon with near Fourth Bloodline Transformation, so how powerful must a five-eyed one be?" warned a strong cultivator beside him.

"Let’s kill it together!" Su Xinghe from the Immeasurable Sword Sect decisively attacked.

Controlling his pigeon-egg-sized silver sphere Magic Treasure, with a ’zing,’ it sliced through the air, transforming into a silver blade, slashing fiercely at the five-eyed demon!

’Clang!’

But unexpectedly, the five-eyed demon spat out a similarly fierce black light, easily deflecting the silver sword.

"This demon has probably reached the Sixth-Layer Spirit Platform level!" Su Xinghe’s pupils contracted at the sight.

"Damn!"

"What!"

"Sixth Layer of the Spirit Platform??"

The other cultivators at the scene were startled, hurriedly distancing themselves from the demon.

Cultivators of the Fifth Layer of the Spirit Platform could vie for the position of Trench Patrol Guest, dominating a region in the Abyss.

At the Sixth Layer of the Spirit Platform, even among Trench Patrol Guests, they are considered experts.

Such figures are rare as phoenix feathers in the entire Abyss; ordinary cultivators might never encounter one in their lifetime.

With each level of the Spirit Platform, the gap in cultivation becomes significantly larger.

It is said that in ancient times, there existed a Ninth Layer of the Spirit Platform, with cultivation even stronger than Fake Pill Giants.

After the five-eyed demon slaughtered several human race cultivators, it ignored the Trench Patrol Guests and Su Xinghe coming forth to attack it.

Its scarlet eyes continued to gaze at Lin Xuan’s squad, filled with malice.

The next moment, its figure vanished from the spot, almost no one could see its movement.

"Not good!"

Without a second thought, Lou Yi activated the Grandmaster Realm.

The hundred-zhang world around him was immediately under his control.

However, he could clearly feel a foreign entity sneaking in instantly.

Lou Yi immediately mobilized the four corners of the world, fiercely pressing against this foreign entity with all his might!

The entity clearly hadn’t encountered such a situation before, suddenly getting bound by the world.

Thus, it paused, revealing its form in the void, and it was indeed the five-eyed demon.

’Boom!’

But quickly, demonic energy erupted from all over it, overwhelming the sky, violently breaking through this realm, shattering Lou Yi’s Grandmaster Realm by force!

’Pfft!’

For the first time, Lou Yi encountered a monster that could shatter his Grandmaster Realm, and couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

However, the moment he delayed gave other experts at the scene time to react.

"How daring!"

From the body of the Trench Patrol Guest in the Weisu District emerged a mysterious blue-black token, glowing brightly under his complex incantations.

The bird pattern carved on the token materialized, transforming into a palm-sized dark blue bird, with electric sparks crackling all over its body.

’Whoosh!’

The thunderbird shot fiercely toward the five-eyed demon!

"Roar!" Caught off guard, the five-eyed demon’s chest was pierced with a large hole, crackling with electric flashes.

Billowing black smoke far exceeding its size escaped from the hole, frantically dissipating in all directions.

Appointed as a Trench Patrol Guest by the Immortal Dao Alliance, they naturally had extraordinary means to deal with demons.

The Daoist of the Immeasurable Sword Sect, Su Xinghe, also took action.

He looked grave, his aura rising in waves, with the sound of spiritual essence surging like waves.

Meanwhile, the silver ball-shaped magic treasure in the void went wild.

Transforming into an ancient dragon-shaped sword, different from the previous sharp form; now silver-gray, more solid, emitting an edge that pricked the skin.

The dragon-shaped ancient sword pierced the sky, delivering a ferocious second strike to the five-eyed demon.

It doubled the size of its original wound, letting out a fierce howl.

The five-eyed demon glared venomously at Su Xinghe and the Trench Patrol Guest before turning into a gray smoke, quickly retreating back into the dark swamp, vanishing.

The lake surface of the dark swamp became completely calm, announcing the end of the demon tide.

"It’s not easy to have survived such a monster." Elder Gui couldn’t help but wipe the cold sweat off his forehead.

Even after being in the Abyss for hundreds of years, he hadn’t encountered many Sixth-Layer Spirit Platform level demons.

’This demon obviously came for me.’ Not far away, Lou Yi’s expression was extremely grim, silently thinking.

He utilized his divination talent.

In the void before him, a glowing red orb represented him.

Somehow, a faint dark red halo surrounded it.

After he noticed it,

This previously imperceptible dark red halo instantly turned into a pitch-black mass, filled with deathly, dark aura.

’Couldn’t shake you off, huh? Still scheming against me.’ Lou Yi squinted his eyes, unable to suppress a surge of killing intent in his heart.
