Chapter 480 Demon Altar

The Demon Lake is a famous gathering place for demon cultivators in the Yama Realm.

The Immortal Alliance army has launched three large-scale operations to encircle and suppress the demon cultivators around the Demon Lake. Although they have achieved great results, they have never killed all the demon cultivators here.

They are like grass in spring, which grows again and again after being cut, leaving people helpless.

Xu Jun flew for three days before arriving above the Demon Lake.

This is a dark and strange place, surrounded by thick dark fog. The water in the lake was bottomless black, as if it could swallow up all light.

There are scattered withered water plants floating on the lake, swaying in the wind and making a rustling sound. From time to time, the low roars of monsters in the water can be heard from the lake, which is terrifying.

Xu Jun frowned slightly, and his consciousness scanned a certain battle report in his watch.

It said that the Immortal Alliance army performed well in the Demon Lake attack battle. They had occupied several key locations and cleared out most of the monsters. The complete liberation of the Demon Lake was just around the corner.

However, at this moment, Xu Jun looked over the Demonic Lake and saw red rays of light flashing away deep in the lake. That was a signal of the activity of the monsters.

On the shore of the lake, there are huge black stones scattered in an orderly manner, mossed and slippery and difficult to walk on. From time to time, demon cultivators walked through the mist. They were dressed in black robes, with expressionless faces and a cold light in their eyes.

Xu Jun curled his lips slightly, does this mean he has occupied the core area?

Although it was his first time to come to the Demonic Lake, as a fourth-level formation master, Xu Jun could tell at a glance the general geographical location of the Demonic Lake and the trend of its spiritual veins.

If he read it correctly, the most important place in the entire Demonic Lake should be the largest island in the center of the earth.

This geocentric island is located in the middle of the lake, with rich spiritual power escaping around it.

It can be seen that this island occupies an important position in the entire land line.

However, if Xu Jun saw it correctly, the current Immortal Alliance army has not occupied the island in the middle of the lake.

This will liberate the Demon Lake, is it just around the corner?

Xu Jun admitted that battle reports usually report good news but not bad news. However, you gave such misleading information... Damn it, boosting morale is a good thing, but aren't you afraid that someone will fall into the trap?

"boom……"

"roar……"

Suddenly, the night sky was covered with dark clouds, and occasionally lightning broke through the sky, illuminating the scene around the Magic Lake.

The rumble of thunder intertwined with the roar of the monsters in the lake, creating an oppressive atmosphere.

Xu Jun's brows furrowed even more tightly. Even he didn't want to stay here for a long time, because everything here portended ominousness and danger.

Although Xu Jun is invincible in the third level, he is not arrogant enough to think that he can easily crush a large number of fourth level demon cultivators.

Even though the fourth-level demon cultivators haven't taken action yet, once they do, they will definitely form a devastating counterattack.

Of course, the fourth-level Nascent Souls of the Immortal Alliance will not sit idly by. But there is a gap during this period. During this period, some of the Immortal Alliance troops will inevitably be attacked by the fourth-level demonic cultivators. The casualties will be left to fate.

Xu Jun saw this, so he became more and more cautious.

If the highest level in this world was only the third-level golden elixir, he would have let go and killed everyone.

His body moved slightly, and bursts of black mist suddenly surged over Xu Jun's body. In the blink of an eye, his appearance became indistinguishable from that of a monster.

Xu Jun has also maximized his camouflage ability.

With his current attainments in talismans, plus the blessings of various techniques. Unless he is unlucky enough to meet a super strong person at the level of a god, or a strong person in the late Nascent Soul stage who has practiced the secret method of improving eyesight, it is impossible for anyone to see through his disguise.

This is also the biggest reason why he dares to come to the Demon Lake to inquire about the news.

His body dropped and Xu Jun landed on the lake.

This magical lake breeds countless terrifying monsters. These monsters not only attack the Immortal Alliance monks, but they also refuse to let go of ordinary shore monsters that accidentally fall into the lake.

However, when Xu Jun landed on the lake, not only was his body as light as nothing, but when his feet touched the lake, he seemed to be integrated into the lake without even a ripple.

The water system of the Five Elements.

Xu Jun's understanding of water avenues has reached a terrifying level. At the moment he fell into the water, part of his body seemed to have turned into a part of the lake.

No matter how keen the monsters in the lake are, they cannot be repulsive to the lake, so they never noticed Xu Jun's arrival.

In this way, Xu Jun's body drifted towards the island in the middle of the lake.

The closer he got to the island in the middle of the lake, the more Xu Jun felt the powerful demonic energy coming from this place.

This concentration of demonic energy is simply frightening. Another Jindan cultivator might not have the courage to enter alone.

Finally, Xu Jun arrived at the island in the middle of the lake without any danger.

When he landed on the island, he found that a warning formation had been set up on the island in the middle of the lake.

However, this warning formation is driven by demonic energy and will only be automatically triggered when it senses the spiritual power of the monks.

But now Xu Jun's whole body is full of demonic energy, and there are no flaws. This warning array fell on him, and it had no effect at all.

Xu Jun was floating on the island in the middle of the lake. The formation here was ingenious.

However, in the eyes of this fourth-level formation master, it was crude and vulgar. Xu Jun even had the urge to patch it up.

However, after a little thought, Xu Jun immediately gave up the idea.

The time spent repairing the mountain protection formation in the Qinglian Sword Sect was too long, which made him behave subconsciously.

After going around a section of the road and passing through a slightly complicated formation, Xu Jun finally came to the core area of ​​the lake island.

Here, there is an ancient altar covered with talismans and dried blood.

Xu Jun's spiritual sense swept over, and countless shrill screams suddenly rang in his ears.

This is the place where the demon cultivators perform some kind of taboo rituals, and judging from the blood on the altar, it seems that it has been used quite frequently recently.

Suddenly, Xu Jun's heart moved slightly, and he flashed and entered the formation in the opposite direction.

Then, his body seemed to be hidden in the formation, and even his breath disappeared without a trace.

The demon cultivators who set up the formation here probably thought hard but never thought that the formation they had worked so hard to set up not only did not play any interception role, but instead became the best cover for others to hide their whereabouts.

Soon, hundreds of demon cultivators passed through the formation and came to the altar.

These demon cultivators had different cultivation levels. The highest one was actually two Jindan, while the lowest one was equivalent to the fourth or fifth level of Qi training in the Immortal Alliance.

The demon cultivators in the back had wooden expressions and no expression on their faces. It was clear that they were controlled by someone and their thoughts and reactions were controlled.

When these people came to the altar, the Jindan demon cultivator in the lead looked up at the sky and said slowly: "There is still half an hour to midnight."

Another Jindan had long green hair. He nodded and turned around and said: "Okay, we are here, let's rest."

All the demon cultivators in the back sat down immediately. Although they were of different races, their actions were the same, which gave people a strange feeling of uniformity.

Xu Jun's eyelids twitched slightly, and his expression was quite strange.

Could it be that I am possessed by a god now? His luck was so good that he actually found the source of the self-destructing demon clan all of a sudden.

Although he could not refine the self-destructing demon cultivator, he had heard of it before.

This is a very painful process. I am afraid that there are not even one-third of the demon cultivators who can really withstand it and survive.

Another half hour passed.

The night fell completely, and the Demon Lake became more active, the wind howled, and the water was turbulent, as if the monsters in the lake were waiting for something.

The leading Jindan demon cultivator opened his eyes and said, "It's time, let's do it."

"Okay." The long-haired demon cultivator waved his hand and said, "Everyone, kneel down to the Demon Ancestor and pray for your success."

After that, he picked up a gourd on his body and opened it.

Suddenly, countless black smoke flew out of the gourd one after another. They rushed towards the demon cultivators under the altar as if they had planned it, and instantly enveloped them all.

Of course, the two Jindan demon cultivators had special treasures on their bodies. Once the black smoke approached, they immediately left in a panic. It seemed that there was something terrifying on their bodies, and even the black smoke was a little afraid.

"Ah..."

Suddenly, a demon cultivator let out a shrill scream. It held its head with both hands and fell to the ground. Its body twitched desperately, and it seemed that it was about to die.

However, the two Jindan demon cultivators who started the culprit and the black smoke did not care about it at all, and even did not even take a second look.

"Ah, ah, ah..."

The painful howl was like turning on a switch. Soon, the more than a hundred demon cultivators in front of the altar all let out painful howls, as if their bodies were undergoing huge changes, making them feel that life was worse than death.

"Sir, I give up, give up..." A demon cultivator desperately stretched out his neck and shouted, "Let me go."

The Jindan demon cultivator rolled his eyes at him and said angrily, "How can you give up? You have to contribute your strength to the Demon Ancestor. If you keep talking nonsense, I will send you to see the Buddha first."

However, his intimidation did not work at all.

In just a moment, the howling became more and more, and most of the howling people were the highest in cultivation.

Although they could not be compared with the two Jindan demon cultivators, they also reached the level of the late foundation building cultivators of the Immortal Alliance.

"You can bear it. As long as you complete the sacrifice, you can become the guardian of the ancestor. Once you die, your spirit will be transformed into the ancestor's nourishment. This is such an honor. You must work hard."

Xu Jun, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body when he heard it.

If you endure this kind of torture, you will die, but if you survive, you will become the ancestor's cultivation nourishment...

Glory?

I'm afraid no one wants this kind of honor, as long as you are a person.

The thinking of the demon cultivators is indeed very different from that of normal people.

A quarter of an hour later, something strange happened.

"Pop."

After a loud noise, the body of one of the demon cultivators exploded, and countless flesh and blood turned into raindrops and fell down.

Xu Jun's heart trembled, it was indeed a self-destructing demon cultivator.

Obviously, this demon cultivator could not bear the pain of transformation, so his body exploded first.

However, after the flesh and blood after the self-explosion fell to the ground, they did not mix with the mud and sand on the ground. Instead, they seemed to have consciousness, slowly and firmly flowing towards the altar.

Xu Jun's eyes flashed, and he was secretly surprised. He looked at the altar with a strong sense of vigilance.

This altar actually had the thoughts of a strong man attached to it.

Obviously, this person was the culprit who caused the self-destruction of the demon clan.

"Pah pah pah..."

Continuous explosions sounded, and the bodies of the demon cultivators one after another shattered, and then the blood rain transformed from their bodies rushed towards the altar.

This scene was extremely creepy and horrifying.

A normal person would definitely feel extremely uncomfortable if he saw it.

Finally, after about 70% of the demon cultivators were shattered, the remaining demon cultivators were still groaning, but it was much smaller, and even the pain on their faces became less painful.

The leading Jindan demon cultivator frowned and said, "The success rate is still so low. This is not easy to deal with."

The green-haired demon cultivator laughed strangely and said, "What's the big deal? Let each family increase the dispatch and send more cultivators over."

The leading demon cultivator shook his head and said, "The cultivators who can be sent over have all been preliminarily selected. Most of them are elites from collateral branches or small families. Increasing the number of people sent over will be detrimental to the overall battle situation."

"Hmph, we are going to evacuate anyway, why leave so many people behind? It's better to make full use of them."

The leading demon cultivator's face changed and he said sternly, "Be careful with your words."

The green-haired demon cultivator said impatiently, "What are you worried about? I don't believe you didn't receive the notice. Alas, as long as we can leave, why do you care so much?"

Xu Jun was surprised and happy when he heard this. He didn't expect that he would get such a shocking secret after lurking here today.

The Yama Realm finally couldn't resist, and the high-level evacuation was a matter of course.

However, the speed of the retreat of those high-ranking demon cultivators was so fast and decisive?

This is not normal!

The green-haired demon cultivator said again: "Brother, the ancestors want to sacrifice a world, so they must have left a gap. Do you know where it is?"

The leading Jindan said coldly: "I don't know."

The green-haired demon cultivator sneered and said: "Haha, I don't believe you are not tempted. The ancestors ate meat, so they must leave some soup for us."

Xu Jun, who was standing aside, felt cold all over after hearing this.

Sacrifice a world?

What great thing did he hear?

No, since he came, he couldn't go back empty-handed.

Xu Jun looked at the two demon cultivators silently and made up his mind.

An hour later, this sacrifice was completely completed. The remaining more than 30 demon cultivators stood up. There was no more confusion in their eyes, and they all had a fierce and violent aura.

A new batch of self-destructing demons were successfully refined.
