This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 1627 - 7: Journey to the Abyss

The War Demon Clan is powerful, so most of the plains outside Yumen Pass belong to the Demon Occupied Zone.

And after the last battle invitation by three figures, there are no longer any human cities outside Yumen Pass, as all stationed cultivators have retreated back to Yumen Pass.

As a result, the Demon Race's frontline continued to advance, finally pushing forward to the central mountain region, which is seven hundred thousand miles away from Yumen Pass.

Of course, this was already the limit for the Demon Race.

If the Demon Race were to push the frontline further, the cultivators at Yumen Pass could fully utilize geographical advantages to continuously harass and attack the Demon Race with almost no loss—this is akin to setting up camp at the enemy's doorstep, seeking one's own death.

After such tug-of-war, the final formation was with the central mountains as the boundary line, with the northern areas belonging to the Demon Occupied Zone pattern.

Of course, it doesn't mean that there are no human cultivators within the Demon Occupied Zone.

It only means there are no human cities within the Demon Occupied Zone, the number of demonic cultivators is extremely high, relatively dangerous, not suitable to delve deep into.

In fact, during these ten years, just Zang Xiaojian and Qin Yitian alone have entered the Demon Occupied Zone dozens of times.

However, regardless of how dangerous the Demon Occupied Zone is, it has nothing to do with Lu Qingshan.

An invisible, silent escaping light sped across the vast skies outside Yumen Pass.

With the support of Fuyao, the area north of the central mountains, now filled with Demon Race posts, poses no danger to Lu Qingshan; it's not an exaggeration to say he travels as easily as walking on flat ground.

Because no one can detect his trace.

After traversing the central mountains, without detouring or slowing down, he headed directly in the direction of the space passage, following the shortest path at a steady and swift pace.

The closer he got to the space passage, the more numerous the Demon Race cities became beneath his feet; they were everywhere.

There were even four cities initially built by the Human Race, but now reformed and have become demon cities.

Just looking at the number of cities, one can feel the sheer quantity of demon cultivators.

Even at nearly ten thousand feet in the air, Lu Qingshan could still see with the naked eye, clusters of black demonic qi within those demon cities.

That demonic qi exudes from magical plants, serving as the foundation for demon cities, helps demonic cultivators recover physical and mana, and can even amplify their combat power when necessary.

.....

Although the Demon Occupied Zone is vast, if one moves in a straight line, the journey will certainly be much shorter, roughly equivalent to the difference between sea routes and land routes.

So in fact, Lu Qingshan took less than half a day to get from Yumen Pass to the space passage.

Upon seeing the space passage, a city simultaneously appeared before Lu Qingshan.

Cold Iron City.

This is a newly built city, established in front of the space passage, essentially acting like a roadblock.

Meaning that to enter the Abyss through the space passage, one must pass through this city.

The last time Lu Qingshan came as Qing Ge, this city did not yet exist.

He stopped for the first time, realizing he encountered a problem.

Though Fuyao's ability to conceal form is unparalleled, Lu Qingshan could only say that flying over this city from above could avoid detection, but truly crossing through it, at such proximity, carries the risk of exposure.

High-grade demonic cultivators aren't fools.

After pondering for a while, Lu Qingshan had an idea.

....

Near the space passage area, it is the region where demon cities are most dense.

Besides the Cold Iron City suppressing the space passage, within a hundred thousand miles radius, there are no less than ten demon cities.

Three-Eye City is one of them.

As the name suggests, this demon city is governed by the Three-Eyed Demon Clan.

At the center of Three-Eye City is something akin to an altar.

In the center of the pool of liquefied dense demonic qi, a pitch-black lotus flower rooted there, shrouded in black mist.

Black Demon Flower, the foundational magical plant of Three-Eye City. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Lu Qingshan is very familiar with this thing.

Back in the Sixth Realm, he had once detonated three Black Demon Flowers amidst an army.

However, this Black Demon Flower is vastly different in strength compared to the three Lu Qingshan had detonated despite being the same species.

The three Black Demon Flowers had lotus leaves with only seven petals, indicating their amplification limit was Seventh Grade, whereas this Black Demon Flower has eight petals.

There's no wind, yet the petals of the Black Demon Flower gently sway, appearing rather extraordinary.

Around the altar, three towering demonic cultivators keep watch long-term, all at Eighth Grade, but not ordinary Eighth Grade, equivalent to human Fourth Tribulation Realm cultivators, four-cast Demon Lords.

Using Fourth Tribulation Realm cultivators as guards is quite lavish, but for the Demon Race, it's nothing special.

At that moment.

A blazing red sword light capable of illuminating the entire sky descended from the sky, slashing toward the Black Demon Flower.

The sword light traversed the long sky, very fast, but the three guarding four-cast Demon Lords didn't fail to react, immediately noticed it, and began to use the Divine Demon Body....trying to escape.

Because they felt a fatal threat from the sword light, their souls trembled.

This wasn't an attack they could withstand; trying to block it head-on would result in instant death, fleeing was their instinctive response.

They fled quickly, yet the sword light was even faster, rushing over in a flash.

Puff, puff, puff!

Almost simultaneously, all three four-cast Demon Lords' physical bodies exploded into a blood mist, leaving no corpse behind.

As easily as crushing ants, they were insignificant, while the sword light continued forward, finally slashing toward the Black Demon Flower.
