Chapter 286: The Demon Emerges

A small jet-black mirror, densely covered with divine patterns, shimmering with specks of light, flowing with mysterious energy, exuding a startling demonic nature that captivates the soul.

Long Yang smiled grimly, the dark mirror in his palm left his hand, suspended in the sky, suddenly blooming with ten thousand feet of divine light, like a pitch-black sun, its intense light dazzling, with an evil aura spreading.

Malice surged to the heavens, black mist billowed, as if demons were reborn, and below, the ten-thousand-foot demonic abyss churned with a towering black mist that pierced through the demon mirror, the power emanating from the mirror growing ever more awe-inspiring.

"Hehe, taste the power of my Candleblood Demon Mirror..." Long Yang cackled, floating in the void, his body wreathed in black mist, terrifying energy bursting from within him and pouring into the Candleblood Demon Mirror.

Hum! The Candleblood Demon Mirror boomed, the sky collapsed, emitting ten thousand feet of black radiance, striking out a terrifying beam of light that merged with the surrounding barrier.

The barrier, which had been violently trembling, gradually stabilized at this moment, and below, the demonic qi surging from the abyss merged with the dark mirror, a truly astonishing sight.

Yang Tian's eyes darted rapidly, a trace of overwhelming murderous intent seeping out. He recalled the illusion array he had encountered in the Array Sect, and the Candleblood Demon Mirror was unmistakably Old Dog Long Yang's treasured artifact.

Yang Tian's sudden anomaly caught Shangguan Hao's attention. His pupils abruptly contracted, and a chill ran through his body. This overwhelming murderous intent made even him feel a cold dread.

At this moment, Shangguan Hao cast a strange glance at the Candleblood Demon Mirror. Yang Tian's icy gaze was fixed on the mirror, and he was filled with astonishment—how had a venerable Emperor-level cultivator offended Yang Tian?

"This guy..." Ahead, Yuan Xia furrowed her delicate brows, a puzzled expression in her eyes that shimmered with rosy light. She lightly clenched her jade hand, her gaze falling on Long Yang.

"What's wrong with you?" At this moment, Yang Xiao also noticed Yang Tian's change. He frowned and asked. Having experienced many ups and downs, Yang Tian's restraint was far beyond what it used to be, yet at this moment, he had lost control.

Sensing an uncomfortable gaze, Long Yang slowly turned his head, his cold eyes landing on Yang Tian, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes.

"Who is this kid? He looks so familiar..." Long Yang frowned. Yang Tian's concealment technique had been seen through by him, giving him a sense of familiarity.

Bang! Just as Long Yang was puzzled, the two elders went berserk. The power contained within the blood-patterned cauldron surged, crushing the heavens and earth. This realm could no longer contain this terrifying killing tool; it collapsed and shattered.

The blood-patterned longsword cut through the nine heavens, densely packed blood blades carrying a deadly killing intent, madly sweeping toward the barrier like a torrential downpour, endless and extremely terrifying.

A group of experts from the Dan Valley went wild. Seven or eight great powerhouses unleashed their divine might, and one after another, many more experts arrived, frantically attacking the barrier.

The barrier, which had just stabilized, suddenly began to shake. Long Yang turned to look at the distorted barrier, his face clouded with gloom. The ten-thousand-foot abyss churned, and evil qi wildly poured into the Candleblood Demon Mirror.

The demon mirror transformed into the sky, forming a sky-piercing light shield that merged with the surrounding barrier. All this was completed in an instant. Yang Tian clenched his fists, suppressing the murderous intent within him.

"Uncle Xiao, this should be Old Dog Long Yang!" Yang Tian gritted his teeth and said word by word. His emotions were still unstable, and the river of blood and qi within him began to churn.

"It's him!" At this moment, the light in Yang Xiao's eyes gradually turned cold and fierce, a terrifying aura inadvertently leaking out. How glorious the ancient Yang family had been—an Emperor-level cultivator could be annihilated with a flick of a finger! Yet now, it had nearly been wiped out by him. Yang Xiao was on the verge of madness.

His black hair stood on end, endless green flames shot from his eyes, and a terrifying aura leaked from within him. Such a character, in ancient times, would have been a mere ant pierced through with a single finger.

"This place is controlled by a barrier; the arrays cannot be used. We have to wait until they break the barrier before we can unleash the power of the arrays," Yang Xiao said, taking a deep breath and speaking slowly.

Upon hearing this, Yang Tian nodded. He gritted his teeth, suppressing his emotional turmoil. If his identity were discovered later, it would be disadvantageous.

The entire barrier twisted violently, cracks appearing. Although Long Yang's cultivation was formidable, he could not withstand the relentless bombardment of two Emperor-level powerhouses.

Inside, demonic qi billowed, ghosts wailed and wolves howled, an evil aura swept across the heavens and earth, the entire void trembled, and the six-pointed star below grew weaker and weaker.

Both elders were terrifying. The dreadful mist emanating from their bodies, divine light piercing the sky, eroded the array below.

"My goodness, the demon is emerging..." Suddenly, two figures rushed over. Tan Zuying was utterly astonished, his eyes wide as saucers.

"So it's these guys..." Dan Chen's expression turned somewhat grim. He was well-versed in the demon race; the Dan Dao Alliance had nearly been destroyed in ancient times.

More and more people gathered. Most of the Dan Valley disciples had arrived, a dense sea of heads, all of them formidable cultivators.

"Ah, little brother, what's happening here?" Xiao Xiao rushed over, a smile in her eyes, her brows beaming with joy, clearly having gained considerable benefits.

"A demon is emerging." Upon hearing this, Yang Tian smiled slightly. At this moment, he cast a somewhat surprised glance at Xiao Xiao's body. The aura she emitted seemed to perfectly merge with the surrounding Fire Domain.

"Oh, this little girl is actually a divine body." At this moment, Yang Xiao's pupils slightly contracted, his surprised gaze sweeping over Xiao Xiao's body. This kind of Fire God physique was the dream physique of every alchemist.

"Why hasn't the Fire Ancestor come?" At this moment, Dan Zong grew anxious, murmuring inwardly. If the outer seal were broken, the number of demons sealed inside would be beyond description.

"Junior brother, use the killing array!" The Supreme Elder, aged and venerable, stepped into the void and spoke, his voice like clashing steel, resounding with a clang.

Upon hearing this, Elder Dan nodded. The blood-patterned cauldron in the void possessed the might to overturn the heavens. At this moment, layers of blood flames surged from the cauldron's mouth, murderous aura soaring to the sky, burning the firmament, a terrifying and dreadful aura spreading out.

Strands of blood flames were extremely fierce, like thunderbolts, crashing down onto the barrier. The blood flames blazed fiercely, brilliant and radiant, even melting the barrier, incredibly powerful.

Chi! The Supreme Elder pointed a finger, and a giant sword phantom appeared in the void, emitting ten thousand feet of blood light, like a demonic sword descending upon the void, exuding a terrifying aura.

"Chop!" The Supreme Elder shouted softly. The ten-thousand-foot sword shadow suddenly slashed down, blood light spewing forth, emitting boundless divine radiance. With a earth-shattering roar, that stretch of void turned into a zone of nothingness.

"Speed up, the barrier is about to break!" The two venerable elders saw this, their pupils slightly contracting. The surging energy within them erupted like a mountain flood, terrifying enough to make hearts tremble, as they slammed the surging energy down onto the nearly shattered array.

The six-pointed star grew dimmer and dimmer, and monsters began to break free from within. The monsters were horrifically狰狞, with several terrifyingly huge tentacles, ugly and evil creatures.

"Howl..." The monster roared skyward, then pounced onto the array, slamming its body against the six-pointed star, a terrifying sight.

Yang Tian's eardrums nearly burst. The ten-thousand-foot sword shadow descended upon the barrier, terrifying aura spewing out. The entire barrier shook, and as time passed, cracks like spiderwebs spread wildly.

"Not good!" Long Yang's heart tightened, and he instantly withdrew the Candleblood Demon Mirror.

"Open!" Elder Dan shouted. The sky-piercing cauldron suddenly shook, a terrifying force erupting and crashing down onto the barrier below. With a "creak" sound, the entire barrier suddenly burst apart.

Bang! However, at this moment, a terrifying demonic qi suddenly erupted! Like a massive tornado, it tore through the sky with irresistible force, shaking the entire Dan Fire Domain.

The dreadful波动 swept across all directions. Under the erosion of the thick black mist, the very sky trembled.
