Chapter 289 Illusion; Ancient Demon Appears
At the center of the eighth floor stands a palace.
Today, half of the main hall has been destroyed, revealing ninety-nine candlesticks.
Of these, ninety-seven lamps had already gone out, and the remaining two seemed poised to go out at any moment.
Qin Hao and Ling Tianhou landed here.
He glanced around and asked, "Has everyone else gone in already?"
"Um!"
Ling Tianhou nodded and said, "When we entered here, there were three demons in total. Two of them chased after Qingshui Immortal Lord and Tianyunzi, and one of them kept chasing after me. As for Yunxian Daoist Couple, they entered earlier."
Qin Hao glanced around and said, "It seems there's no entrance to the ninth floor here!"
Although with his cultivation level, he would certainly be able to break through a path.
But if there is an entrance, it would be much more convenient and less troublesome.
"Senior, are you going to the ninth floor?"
Ling Tianhou hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said, "I have seen the method to activate the Cloud Immortal Daoist Couple."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and began to move the ninety-nine candlesticks according to a certain pattern.
"Boom!"
Soon, a huge array appeared, from which endless black smoke emanated.
Qin Hao took a step forward and entered the formation.
Behind him, Ling Tianhou followed him inside.
The ninth floor contains the same grand hall as the previous eight floors.
In the center of the hall, a figure shrouded in black mist sat upright on a chair.
A point of light was shining between his eyebrows, surrounded by endless black mist that seemed to want to devour it.
Outside the main hall, booming sounds echoed as various magical arts and supernatural powers emerged.
At this moment, a group of powerful individuals are battling against countless demonic shadows here.
Strangely, these demonic shadows could not be dispersed no matter what they did, and when they were severely injured, they would even self-destruct towards the group.
In an instant, every strong person here was injured.
"Taga, your Shadow Demon consumes the most magic power. I'd like to see just how much magic power you have left to burn!"
Tian Yunzi roared and was the first to unleash his great supernatural power.
"Heavenly Fortune Finger!"
An overwhelming pressure surged forth, and a gigantic finger materialized, descending towards the palace in front.
"Break it!"
Seeing this, Wang Wei summoned a vast ocean, which swept towards the main hall.
A cold glint flashed in Qing Shui's eyes as he prepared to use the power of his ultimate divine sense.
"Hold your hand!"
However, before the two could unleash their supernatural powers, Qin Hao interrupted them.
At the same time, he reached out with his large hand and directly destroyed the Heavenly Fortune Finger.
"Fellow Daoist, what is the meaning of this?"
Tian Yunzi's eyes flashed, and he suddenly shouted, "Could it be—you're in cahoots with this ancient demon?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Wei's face immediately darkened.
Wang Wei said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist, I need an explanation!"
In Wang Wei's eyes, his most respected master was about to be possessed by someone else.
But at this very moment, the other party suddenly blocked his way, which was practically a mortal enemy!
"I just didn't want you to mean well but end up doing something wrong!"
Qin Hao gave Gu Mo, Tian Yunzi, and Ling Tianhou a meaningful look, and suddenly said, "As far as I know, before being possessed, the Rain Immortal Emperor Qing Lin set a rule!"
"That means once the ancient demon successfully possesses someone, using his physical body and magical power, he will be unable to break any of the restrictions here, nor will he be able to leave!"
"Are you all frantically destroying the restrictions here in an attempt to help Gu Motaga escape?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.
If that's the case, then the more intense their battle here, the faster Gu Motaga will be able to escape.
"Fellow Daoist, how did you come to know about Qinglin's rules?"
Tian Yunzi said with a sneer, "As far as I know, you seem to be a junior who has only been cultivating for a little over a thousand years. Who knows if you're in cahoots with the ancient demon Taga?"
At this point, Tian Yunzi looked at Wang Wei and Hu Juan and asked, "Fellow Daoist Wang, Fellow Daoist Hu, you two are disciples of the Immortal Emperor. Have you heard of the rules set by the Immortal Emperor?"
"No!"
Both of them shook their heads.
They were all out at the time, and even Qinglin had never encountered them, so naturally he had never heard of them.
"Clap clap clap!"
Qin Hao clapped his hands and said, "Brilliant, truly brilliant!"
"Tian Yunzi, I never expected you to be so skilled in both scheming and eloquence!"
Do you really think no one knows your true purpose?
"In fact, everything here is an illusion!"
"And this illusion is no ordinary illusion, but a divine power that only the ancient demon race can unleash!"
Qin Hao immediately uttered the words of an ancient god and unleashed a special divine power that only an ancient demon could use.
In an instant, the surroundings began to distort, and the demonic shadows that were attacking the group vanished as if they had never existed.
Upon seeing this scene, both Qing Shui Xian Jun and Yun Xian Dao Lu were startled.
Because they almost helped Gumotaga.
In contrast, Tian Yunzi's expression turned extremely gloomy.
He never imagined that the scheme he had painstakingly helped Gu Motaga complete would be ruined by this junior.
If things go according to his and Gu Motaga's plan, once these people destroy all the restrictions here, Gu Motaga will be able to leave.
At that time, Gu Mo Ta Jia will completely possess Qing Lin, and the shrewd competition between him and Qing Lin across eternity will also come to a conclusion.
If he can outmaneuver Qing Lin, a third-step powerhouse, in cunning, he can use this opportunity to advance his cultivation further, and perhaps even directly reach the third step.
"You brat, you've ruined my final attempt to possess someone! I'll kill you!"
A cold, hoarse voice, imbued with demonic power, resounded. Then, the light spot between Qing Lin's brows disappeared from the palace, replaced by eight star-shaped points shrouded in demonic energy.
It turns out that Gu Motaga has already successfully possessed the body, but due to Qinglin's rules, he cannot immediately do so here.
"boom!"
As Gu Motaga slowly stood up, an unprecedentedly terrifying demonic aura burst forth.
Strangely, this demonic energy could not harm anything around it, but it could suppress everyone, rendering them unable to move.
"Hahahaha! Today, this demon will leave this place and roam freely across the world; no one can stop me!"
Gu Motaga laughed wildly, and a set of jet-black armor appeared on his body.
Streaks of demonic energy swept outwards, heading straight for the outside world.
Under the corruption of demonic energy, all the spirit beasts and immortal beasts in the originally restored Celestial Realm have been transformed into demons.
Then, a huge demonic shadow appeared in the starry sky outside the land of demons, and also burst into laughter.
The laughter immediately enveloped the entire Alliance Starfield, reaching countless cultivators.
In the Northern Region of the Alliance, the Cultivation Alliance and Luo Tian are continuing their war.
When the laughter reached this place, all the powerful figures changed color and trembled all over.
It was as if some unimaginable being was about to be born.
The headquarters of the Cultivation Alliance is located here, and many immortals who survived the anomalies in the Immortal Realm are here.
They have now become the backbone of the Cultivation Alliance, and they originally planned to go to the Northern Region to support the great battle.
"Immortal Emperor Qinglin!!"
"The Immortal Emperor isn't dead yet?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
But when they heard that maniacal laughter, their eyes widened in horror.
A ninth-rank Immortal Lord, whose strength was second only to Qing Shuang, gleamed with cold light and roared, "Pass on my order: kill the Immortal Emperor!"
Therefore, these surviving immortals all headed towards the land of the demon spirits in the East Sea.
They were all people who betrayed Qinglin, and they knew Qinglin's methods. Once Qinglin was fully resurrected, their only fate would be death.
