A hint of joy flashed across Li Yao's face as he sensed the improvement in his cultivation level.
"I advise you not to have too many illusions about Wei Jing!"
Li Yao tossed the original 'Twin Dragon Deadly Needles' back to the Ice Crystal Woman, then said to Xiao Bai, "Let's go!"
As he spoke, he gently pushed open the secret door leading to the next floor with his right hand, and together with Xiaobai, they walked to the next floor.
"How...how do you know how to open this secret door?"
The Ice Crystal Woman was extremely surprised.
Unfortunately, Li Yao did not answer her.
On their way to the bottom of the Demon-Sealing Tower, Li Yao and Xiao Bai encountered many demons and monsters.
Of course, if these demons and monsters dare to come up, they're just asking for death.
Li Yao and his companion soon arrived at the bottom of the Demon-Locking Tower.
At this time, the bottom layer of the Demon-Sealing Tower did not yet have the Seven-Star Dragon Pillar, but there was a blood pool.
"Husband, this sword should be the Demon-Slaying Sword, right?"
Xiao Bai pointed to a silver longsword with an ancient design and unique shape near the base of the wall by the blood pool and asked a question.
"It should be!"
Li Yao nodded slightly.
The long sword was stuck diagonally in the ground, with a long and large skeleton nailed to its tip.
Although the skeleton resembled a human, its hands and feet were like animal claws, and it had two horns on its forehead.
Centuries have passed, and long, dark green hair still hangs around the skull.
Clearly, this skeleton does not belong to a human; it must be the remains of a demon.
Beside the demon's remains lay a pale skeleton, which was actually a normal human figure.
Needless to say, this humanoid skeleton should be Wei Jing, the Shushan disciple who wielded the Demon-Suppressing Sword, entered the Demon-Locking Tower, and fought the Heavenly Demon Emperor for three days and three nights.
The demon skeleton next to him should be the Heavenly Demon Emperor, the leader of all demons.
The long sword pinned to the Heavenly Demon Emperor's withered bones should be the Demon-Suppressing Sword, also known as the Divine Sword of Illumination, which is Li Yao's target this time.
Li Yao didn't expect that when he went to find Jing Xiaolou, he didn't encounter the Demon-Suppressing Sword.
Now, he has returned to the era of Sword and Fairy 3 and encountered the Demon-Slaying Sword.
"You once said that if this Demon-Suppressing Sword is pulled out, the Heavenly Demon Emperor will be resurrected. I'd like to see if that's true!"
Xiao Bai curiously reached out and pulled out the Demon-Suppressing Sword stuck in the withered bones of the Heavenly Demon Emperor.
In an instant, a brilliant and eerie purple light burst forth in the confined space.
Amidst the dazzling, eerie light, the lifeless skeleton suddenly burst forth and quickly transformed into a terrifying demon over ten feet tall!
"Hahaha……"
The Heavenly Demon Emperor, his face deathly green, laughed wildly, roaring, "Only three hundred years! I've waited for this day, what good luck!"
Then, with his bloodshot eyes fixed on Li Yao and Xiao Bai, he arrogantly declared, "I knew long ago that you humans are incredibly greedy and wouldn't be willing to leave this precious sword here. You would definitely try every means to retrieve it. Just as I predicted, hahaha..."
"Husband, has this Heavenly Demon Emperor gone mad from being imprisoned? He's been suppressed by the Demon-Suppressing Sword for three hundred years, and the Demon-Transforming Water here has drained most of his magic power, yet he still dares to be so arrogant!"
Xiao Bai said dismissively.
"Actually, I think he was never smart at all, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen for the tricks of Mount Shu and been suppressed here for three hundred years."
Li Yao said calmly.
"Damn it, you two mere humans dare to show such contempt for me, the Emperor!"
The Heavenly Demon Emperor, upon seeing the two people before him, showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he casually teased him, completely ignoring his presence.
That's absolutely outrageous!
"Disrespect you?"
"You are not worthy of my contempt!"
Li Yao said dismissively.
As he spoke, he took the Demon-Suppressing Sword from Xiaobai's hand and played with it with great interest.
It was as if, in his eyes, the Heavenly Demon Emperor did not exist at all.
"Damn humans, how dare you look down on me like this!"
"Today I'll show you the price of underestimating me! Die!"
The Heavenly Demon Emperor's blood-red eyes suddenly narrowed, and he glared fiercely at Li Yao, his expression like that of a vengeful ghost from hell, wishing he could devour Li Yao immediately.
Before he finished speaking, a brilliant cross-shaped demonic flame swept wildly toward Li Yao and Xiao Bai.
In an instant, the entire bottom layer of the Demon-Sealing Tower was enveloped in brilliant, blood-red demonic flames.
Many monsters around were unable to escape in time and were instantly reduced to ashes, leaving no trace of their remains.
"court death!"
Li Yao smiled slightly, raised his right hand gently, and a ball of Samadhi Heavenly Fire had already condensed in his hand, facing the Heavenly Demon Emperor's brilliant demonic flames.
boom!
A loud bang.
The entire Demon-Sealing Tower trembled violently.
The aftershocks of the magic spread outwards, and many monsters in the vicinity were blasted away by the powerful shockwaves, their souls scattered and their bodies reduced to ashes.
"Such powerful magic!"
The Heavenly Demon Emperor's pupils suddenly contracted, and he was about to make another move.
Suddenly, a silver light flashed.
Before he could react, a sword was plunged into his chest and abdomen.
"You...you...I...I..."
The Heavenly Demon Emperor stared at Li Yao with his eyes wide open, pointing one of his demonic claws at him.
Shock, resentment, regret...
A mix of complex emotions.
Then, the Heavenly Demon Emperor turned into a pile of bones and fell to the ground, with the Demon-Suppressing Sword stuck in the bones.
Everything returned to normal.
Chapter 568 Five old geezers, they're tired of living.
In a secret room of the Wuji Pavilion of the Shushan Sect.
There were five elderly men dressed in robes in the style of Mount Shu, sitting cross-legged on stone seats in five different directions.
In the center of the five elders was a five-colored transparent magic circle, radiating brilliant light.
Inside the magic circle, there was a small model of a demon-locking tower.
These five elders were none other than the 'Five Elders of Mount Shu': Qingwei, Canggu, Jingming, Youxuan, and Heyang.
Elder Heyang, a man with a slender build, frowned as he stared at the magic array before him and said, "Sect Leader, the Demon Locking Tower has suddenly started to move strangely. Could it be that someone has entered the Demon Locking Tower?"
"Unlikely!"
The Qingwei Sect Leader, whose hair and beard were already completely white, shook his head slightly, his expression solemn, and said, "The five of us have been using our magic power to maintain the Five Elements Formation. If someone had entered the Demon Locking Tower, it would have been impossible for us to have been completely unaware."
"Yes, although the Five Elements Formation has been severely damaged by the Demon Lord Chonglou, with the strength of the five of us maintaining the formation, I'm afraid not many people will be able to break into the Demon Locking Tower."
Elder Youxuan, who had a tuft of beard on his chin, added a sentence.
Suddenly, Elder He Yang, who was slightly overweight, changed his expression and said, "Could it be that the Heavenly Demon Emperor has awakened?"
"impossible!"
Elder Jingming shook his head and said decisively, "The Heavenly Demon Emperor is suppressed by the Demon-Suppressing Sword and cannot awaken!"
"Senior Brother Sect Leader, let's join forces immediately and activate our divine senses to check the situation inside the Demon Locking Tower."
Elder Youxuan quickly made a suggestion.
"good!"
The Qingwei Sect Leader nodded slightly.
Immediately, the five elders of Mount Shu simultaneously activated their incantations and awakened their divine senses.
Instantly, the magic array shone brightly.
Just as their consciousness entered the small demon-locking tower, suddenly, a dazzling light burst forth, illuminating the entire secret chamber in a bright white light that made it impossible for anyone to open their eyes.
At the same time, a powerful force rushed towards the five elders of Mount Shu, instantly blasting them away and sending them crashing against the surrounding walls.
"Such...such powerful divine sense!"
Elder Heyang got up from the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his face deathly pale.
"What exactly happened inside the Demon-Sealing Tower? How could there be such a powerful divine consciousness inside?"
Elder Jingming's expression was equally grim.
"Could someone have actually entered the Demon-Sealing Tower?"
The Qingwei Sect Leader's brows furrowed into a deep frown.
"If that's the case, who is the other party? And why would they enter the Demon-Sealing Tower?"
Elder Youxuan asked with a puzzled look.
"Could it be the Demon Lord Chonglou?"
Elder Cang Gu guessed.
