NOVPUBAs Xu Ping’an pondered, the crack on the altar widened once more.
The chilly aura inside the cave became even thicker, making even a cultivator like Xu Ping’an shiver uncontrollably.
"We’re in big trouble. This evil entity is certainly not weak, probably at least Eighth Rank, or even Ninth Rank. But it must have been sealed here for many years, likely among the first batch of evil entities to be sealed, so its strength would have diminished a lot," Li Xuanqing said.
Xu Ping’an nodded in agreement.
Evil entities can’t be destroyed because their physical bodies are not solid, they’re more like energy bodies.
Such energy bodies are very difficult to eradicate.
There are said to be some methods to kill an evil entity, but Xu Ping’an didn’t know them.
So oftentimes, these evil entities are sealed away, cut off from absorbing dark energy, thus weakening their powers.
Now that this evil entity has been sealed for so long, its strength must have already been greatly reduced.
However, nothing is certain, and all they could do now was hope.
"Boom!"
A loud noise reverberated as the ground fissure was completely shattered.
A surge of dense black qi gushed from the crack, and a ferocious giant claw emerged from the dark fog.
Then a monstrous creature, about three meters tall, crawled out from within.
The monster, humanoid in form and covered in black scale armor, had two rigid horns on its head.
Its crimson pupils exuded a cold, bloodthirsty, and sinister chill.
At this moment, the blood-red monster’s gaze toward Xu Ping’an and the others was filled with intense greedy desire.
"So powerful, at least Seventh Rank Peak," Xu Ping’an furrowed his brows, feeling an immense pressure.
The monster brought with it a heavy sense of oppression, and even the character for "ominous" in his mind was throbbing incessantly.
"Hahaha, I’ve finally come out, after eight thousand years, I’ve been sealed here for eight thousand years, and now I am free again, hahaha," the monster laughed wildly, its voice booming and unrestrained.
Upon hearing this, Xu Ping’an’s brows knitted together.
Eight thousand years?
This monster has been trapped here for eight thousand years?
Yet its aura is still so strong. After eight thousand years, it must have weakened a lot.
How strong must it have been before it was sealed?
Eighth Rank?
Probably not enough, at least Ninth Rank.
Xu Ping’an felt a sense of foreboding in his heart, the monster was too strong.
Fortunately, they were inside the cave, where there was no evil energy for it to recover.
If it were outside, it would still draw upon the scattered dark energy between heaven and earth.
Li Xuanqing and the others now also had grave expressions on their faces, obviously feeling the immense pressure as well.
There was no need to mention Song Yan and others; their faces were completely pale at this moment.
Just by standing there, the evil monster already made them feel a deep-seated fear from within.
"Eh, not bad, some nice snacks right after coming out. It’s been so long since I last ate humans, I’ve almost forgotten their taste," the evil entity said greedily, looking at Xu Ping’an with a gaze filled with thick killing intent.
After speaking, it took a step forward, approaching Xu Ping’an and the others.
"You all fall back, we’ll handle this," Xu Ping’an said to Song Yan and Li Shuangshuang who were beside him.
At the moment, neither Song Yan nor Li Shuangshuang were Seventh Rank, and facing this evil entity would be akin to a lamb entering a tiger’s den.
Having them join the fight would only be a hindrance.
Song Yan and Li Shuangshuang exchanged glances and nodded, then quickly retreated to a corner on one side.
Xu Ping’an and Li Xuanqing stepped forward, positioning themselves in front of the evil entity.
"Humans, you can’t kill me, and your power will only be drained continuously. In the end, you’ll still meet death, so why struggle in vain?" the evil entity said to Xu Ping’an and Li Xuanqing with a sneer.
"Hmph, evil entity, even if we die, we’ll never make it easy for you. Today, I want to see if you evil entities are truly immortal," Li Xuanqing’s eyes blazed with a fierce fighting spirit.
After he finished speaking, a long spear appeared in his hand, from which surged a powerful Fire Attribute aura.
Indeed, Li Xuanqing possessed the Fire Attribute.
And the Fire Attribute happened to suppress this evil demon to a certain extent, although the suppression effect was quite limited.
Xu Ping’an did not hesitate and immediately activated the Nine Stars Extermination Immortal Sword Formation.
Nine Golden Thunder Swords hovered in front of him, pulsating with powerful Golden Thunderous Force.
This was the Indestructible Thunderous Force Xu Ping’an had infused into them.
Seeing the Indestructible Lightning, a hint of wariness flashed in the demon’s eyes.
Xu Ping’an’s heart leaped with joy, his memories from the past life were correct, he had read about it in books.
The evil demon feared two Attributes, one was the Fire Attribute, and the other was the Thunder Attribute.
And among them, the Indestructible Lightning was an extremely powerful force within the Thunder Attribute.
This was also one of the reasons why the Savage Ape King, upon seeing the Indestructible Lightning, was so eager to obtain the Indestructible Thunder Elemental Liquid.
With Indestructible Lightning bolstering the Immortals Extinguishing Sword Formation, the nine Golden Thunder Swords emitted an incomparably terrifying fluctuation.
"Interesting, a Fifth Rank ant actually possesses the legendary Indestructible Thunderous Force. Kid, the Indestructible Thunderous Force in you makes me very uncomfortable," the evil demon said with a cold look in his eyes, with a strong killing intent emerging.
Upon hearing this, Xu Ping’an felt a surge of elation.
It seemed that the evil demon truly feared the Thunder Attribute.
And the threat of the Indestructible Lightning to it appeared to be not small.
"What about the Chaotic Thunder? The Thunder Devouring Sword in my possession contains the Chaotic Thunderous Sword Qi, it might be able to kill it or seriously injure it," Xu Ping’an mused to himself.
With this thought, Xu Ping’an decided to take a gamble.
If he used his Thunder Devouring Sword, perhaps he could really slay the evil demon.
"Then you’ll be the first to die," the evil demon suddenly flashed forward, moving with incomparable speed.
In an instant, it appeared in front of Xu Ping’an, a claw rapidly reaching toward Xu Ping’an’s chest.
The dreadful claw tore through the void, creating a terrifying Spatial Rift.
"So fast!" Xu Ping’an gasped in shock, he hadn’t anticipated the evil demon’s speed to be this remarkable. 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
However, Xu Ping’an’s reaction was also incredibly fast.
He immediately spurred the Immortals Extinguishing Sword Formation, with nine Sharp Swords enveloped in powerful Golden Thunder swiftly slashing towards the evil demon.
At the same time, Xu Ping’an also produced a Shield in his hand.
This Shield was not an Immortal Artifact, but a Superior Grade Spirit Instrument, one he had taken from Xie Fengyun’s storage ring.
Just a moment ago, Xu Ping’an had refined it.
"Clang!"
The claw struck the Shield, which, as if made of papier-mâché, was instantly torn apart.
However, Xu Ping’an hadn’t expected the Shield to withstand the demon’s claw in the first place.
Yet, as the claw tore through the Shield, Xu Ping’an used the force to rapidly retreat.
With this momentary defense, the nine Sharp Swords also arrived at the same time.
"Boom!" The nine Sharp Swords struck the evil demon’s body simultaneously.
However, the swords did not penetrate the demon’s body, but the terrifying force sent it flying backward.
"Bang!"
The evil demon collided with a distant mountain wall, causing a muffled booming sound.
The wall cracked, with fissures spreading out like a spider web.
Yet Xu Ping’an’s brows were tightly furrowed.
Such an indestructible body.
Not even the nine Immortal Artifact Grade Golden Thunder Swords could pierce through his flesh?
