"Leaving Fire, Burning Heaven!"

She waved her sword, and the flames in the battle formation were raging, roaring like an angry dragon, burning the first demon that rushed over to her into ashes. Nexus took the opportunity to hide in the shadows, quietly circled behind her, and the black air condensed into a ferocious giant claw, digging straight into her heart!

"Kanshui·Mirror Return!"

Daoyan seemed to have expected this. Without even turning his head, he pressed back with his hand. The water curtain in the Bagua formation suddenly rose up, bouncing the black claw back like a mirror. Nexus groaned. His chest was pierced by his own attack, but strangely it turned into black mist and reorganized in an instant.

Nexus laughed wildly, and his body suddenly split into dozens of black shadows, attacking Daoyan from all directions. At the same time, more demons crawled out from the ground, spewing venom and flames, dyeing the battlefield into a purgatory.

Daoyan's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and her breathing was slightly disordered. Although Zhouyi's technique was powerful, it consumed a lot of energy. She clenched her teeth and changed her finger gestures again.

"Genshan Town!"

In the Bagua formation, the phantoms of towering mountains rose from the ground and pressed down like the sky collapsing. Half of the demons were crushed into powder in an instant, and the remaining black shadows were also shaken and scattered and retreated.

"ended."

Nexus's voice came from all directions, cold and piercing. Shadow tentacles wrapped around Daoyan's limbs, greedily absorbing her spiritual power. Demons swarmed over her, their sharp teeth and poisonous claws only inches away from her -

"Dui Ze, Transformation."

Daoyan's mouth curled up into a cold smile. Her body suddenly dissipated like a bubble, replaced by a burning talisman. The real Daoyan had appeared thousands of meters in the sky, with fluttering clothes and eyes like lightning.

Lightning and flames intertwined and poured down, like a punishment from heaven, shadows evaporated wherever they passed, demons wailed and turned into pus and blood. Nexus's true form was forced to reveal itself, twisting in agony in the moonlight, black mist swirling.

"Your precognition time is longer!"

“People will always make progress.”

Daoyan's face was as pale as paper, and it was obvious that this attack had exhausted most of her spiritual power. The lightning and fire continued to burn Nexus, and his body began to disintegrate, but he laughed crazily.

The voice stopped abruptly. Nexus' figure completely disappeared, escaping from the thunder and fire without a trace.

Daoyan stumbled to the ground, her throat felt sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. She raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth and murmured.

"We must...go back as soon as possible to warn them..."

She forced herself to stand up, and ran in the direction she came from. The red sun was high in the sky, reflecting her pale face.

Finally, the twisted portal appeared in sight. It was still suspended in front of the canyon, and the dark red runes slowly rotated, as if silently mocking him. Dao Yan jumped into it without hesitation.

As the world spun, a familiar aura rushed towards her. Dao Yan stumbled to the ground, and in front of her was the familiar barren mountain scenery of the southern continent. She breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense nerves relaxed a little.

"Dao Yan."

A calm voice came. Daoyan looked up and saw two figures standing in the air. They were True Lord Bai Hong and True Lord Geng Qing of Lingtian Sect.

"Master... Master Geng..."

Daoyan spoke with difficulty, his voice hoarse.

Bai Hong Zhenjun frowned, and appeared beside her in a flash, raising his hand and pressing it on her shoulder. A gentle spiritual power flowed into her body, quickly stabilizing her injuries.

"What happened?"

Daoyan took a deep breath and told her experiences in the abyss one by one - Jiang Yuan's abnormal behavior, the appearance of Nexus, those twisted demons, and the weirdness of the abyss world. Her tone was hurried and solemn, and she finally pleaded.

"The world connected to that portal is definitely not a good place. Although Nexus has temporarily retreated, he will definitely come back! Please ask the two True Lords to quickly destroy the portal to prevent disaster from affecting Kaiyang Star!"

Bai Hong and Geng Qing looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.

"Daoyan, go back and rest first. Leave this to us."

Daoyan was sharp-minded and knew that the two True Lords had other plans, but if the portal was not destroyed, it would sooner or later harm the people of Kaiyang Star, and she could not sit idly by. The moment she turned around, she gathered the remaining spiritual power in her body and cast a lightning bolt, which hit the twisted portal directly!

"Ah...Daoyan, just have some sleep."

Bai Hong sighed softly, and the lightning dissipated into nothingness before it touched the portal.

"Master...honor..."

Bai Hong moved his mind, and the sleeping Dao Yan turned into a stream of light and flew towards Tian Yan Zong, where her relative Ling Hua would take care of her.

After Daoyan left, only Bai Hong and Geng Qing were left in the area.

"Geng Qing, what should we do now? Are we just going to let them continue to send demons through this portal?"

Bai Hong glanced at his friend beside him.

After Geng Qing finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it. The power of the five elements turned into a seal, covering the place. Then, his figure disappeared from the spot and went back to Lingtian Sect to prepare.

In his heart, the value of the new world is far greater than Jiang Yuan’s life and death.

……

Nexus was floating in the strong wind of the Wanyuan Plain like a lingering shadow, and his body that was injured by Dao Yan had recovered.

Nexus' voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the deepest part of the abyss. His thoughts returned to the memories before he was sealed - a universe dominated by magic and divine power, where demons strengthened themselves through trials in the abyss, devouring souls and faith, and the war between lords was endless.

"The 'artistic state' of a cultivator... can touch the essence of the rules, even though it's only a very small part."

He recalled the Bagua formation that Daoyan had used. The intertwined power of thunder and fire could actually suppress his strength for a short time.

In the hands of a cultivator who has built a foundation in artistic conception, this power is enough to defeat a mid-level demon, and a Jindan Zhenren can even stand shoulder to shoulder with a high-level demon. What makes him even more afraid is that the power of a cultivator does not rely on external beliefs or sacrifices, but comes from his own understanding and practice of the world.

The black mist of Nexus trembled slightly, as if sneering. The Demon Prince was the supreme being of the abyss, and his power was enough to tear the plane apart, but in this universe, the existence of Yuanying Zhenjun forced him to act cautiously. He had secretly spied on Lingtian Sect and felt the deep and sea-like aura on Geng Qing. Although he was not as powerful as the Demon Prince, he was definitely not someone he could contend with.

“Although the cultivators of the Kaiyang Galaxy are trapped here, they are not weak.”

His consciousness swept across the Wanyuan Plain, and those wandering low-level demons were like ants in his eyes. These demons were cannon fodder at the bottom of the abyss, and their strength was only equivalent to that of Qi-cultivating monks. They could only pose a threat when their numbers reached the extreme. And the mid-level demons, such as the Balor Flame Demon he summoned, were fierce, but they still seemed powerless in front of the cultivators who had established their foundation in the realm of mind.

"We must find a breakthrough..."

"The soul of a cultivator...maybe even tastier than that of a mage."

The corners of his mouth curled up in a ferocious arc. Jiang Yuan's desire for power and his obsession with Daoyan were the key to his ability to take advantage of the situation. And on Kaiyang Star, there were definitely many cultivators like Jiang Yuan.

"Next time, I won't fail again."

Nexus' figure gradually dissipated and merged into the shadow of the Wanyuan Plain. His strength had not yet recovered, so he needed to find a demon lord to rely on, so he used the portal as a gift!
