Tianxing Sect.
Ji Wusi withdrew his gaze.
"What was that?" Qing Yun couldn't help but glance at Ji Wusi.
Ji Wusi said calmly, "Nothing. Someone used a secret technique to spy on this place, but I have already counterattacked. That person is probably already injured."
Someone was spying on this place?
Everyone's expressions changed slightly.
Ji Wusi's counterattack had been too fast, before they could notice anything, it was already over.
They're all in Mahayana Stage.
Ji Wusi's cultivation seemed to have reached another level.
His cultivation…
Seemed to be infinitely close to the Sword Sage of Ten Thousand Daos of a thousand years ago.
"Zhao Wuji is dead, but this matter is far from over," Ji Wusi was about to say something.
Suddenly, Yun Jin's expression changed!
"Sect Master, something has happened on the Demon Lord's side," Yun Jin said.
From Zhao Wuji's account, they had basically confirmed that Yang Yun was that Demon Lord!
As a result, something had suddenly happened on Yang Yun's side?
Everyone's expressions changed, and they hurried over.
Tianxing Sect main hall.
Yang Yun had originally been bound by Ji Wusi's magic artifact and thrown into the great hall.
To be safe, Yun Jin had also specifically asked the Giant Lava Dragon to continue guarding him.
Just now, the Giant Lava Dragon suddenly sent a message.
He seemed to have encountered an urgent situation, but he didn't explain things clearly, only sending the words "something happened".
As Yun Jin spoke, Ji Wusi also sensed that his magic artifact had been broken free!
One must know that this artifact was under his control. Under normal circumstances, unless one's cultivation surpassed his, it would be extremely difficult to break free.
He had checked Yang Yun's current cultivation, it had already fallen back to Qi Refining Stage.
How could a Qi Refining cultivator break free from his artifact?
This matter was indeed strange!
The great hall.
At this moment, it was already in chaos.
Aside from the Giant Lava Dragon, the people of Tianxing Sect had all arrived.
At the center of their encirclement was a massive demonic soul.
This demonic soul stood behind Yang Yun with an enormous form and a ferocious expression, its huge mouth seemed to be capable of swallowing a mountain.
Yang Yun's expression, however, wasn't pleasant.
He said coldly, "Quick, break out!"
"So many fresh bodies." The demonic soul let out a sinister laugh. "Delicious, so delicious."
He looked as if he wanted to rush over and feast immediately.
And from the greed in his eyes, the "delicacies" he referred to were clearly humans.
"I said, break out! What are you doing?" Yang Yun was furious.
The demonic soul looked down at him, with a face full of disdain, "Since when was it your turn to order me around?"
When Ji Wusi saw that demonic soul, his pupils suddenly shrank.
The demonic qi contained within this soul was far more overwhelming than any demon he had ever seen.
Even the Demon Lord at his peak couldn't compare to this soul.
Just a soul was already this powerful?
Then what about this demon's true body?
How terrifying would it be!
If such a terrifying demon existed in this world, how could humans still have any place to stand!
A shocking thought suddenly flashed through Ji Wusi's mind.
The demons of this world resembled humans in appearance.
But this demonic soul was clearly very different from the demons of this world.
Could this be…
An extraterrestrial demon!
Ji Wusi's pupils contracted sharply.
Back then, when the passage opened, to prevent the extraterrestrial demons from entering this world, Wushuang Sect paid an immense price, imprisoning both the passage and the extraterrestrial demons in an alternate dimension!
But now, an extraterrestrial demon had actually appeared here!
How did this demonic soul enter this place?
Did its true body also know of this world's existence?
Had the extraterrestrial demons already discovered this place?
At this moment, Ji Wusi seemed to already see a future drenched in blood. His eyes reddened as he drew his sword toward the demonic soul without hesitation.
"I told you to leave quickly, but you wouldn't!" Yang Yun's eyes flashed with shock and anger as he saw Ji Wusi's sword.
"The number one of the human race. Perfect for me to test." The demonic soul let out a sinister laugh and suddenly opened its mouth.
That incomparably sharp sword qi was actually directly swallowed by it.
The demonic soul flickered, one moment it was blurry, the other solid, then it even let out a satisfied burp.
Ji Wusi's expression turned solemn as he struck repeatedly.
The demonic soul no longer took the attacks head-on.
It swallowed Yang Yun whole, then transformed into a wisp of smoke and fled into the distance.
"Don't let it escape!"
Everyone immediately pursued without hesitation.
This was a battle that required at least Mahayana Stage cultivation to participate.
Yun Jin didn't follow, only frowned slightly.
"System, what was that demonic soul just now?" Yun Jin asked in her mind.
The system responded as usual, "One thousand high grade attempts."
Yun Jin's face turned green.
Just checking the identity of this demonic soul required a thousand high grade attempts.
With that many attempts, she could acquire another super grade fragment!
But, Yun Jin steeled herself and said, "Deduct it!"
This demonic soul had never appeared in the original story.
Yet it suddenly appeared now and even displayed such astonishing strength.
This made Yun Jin a bit uneasy.
After deducting the thousand attempts, the system gave the answer.
"Hidden plot: Extraterrestrial Demon Clan.
A thousand years ago, a spatial vortex appeared. Extraterrestrial demons discovered this world.
The Sect Master of Wushuang Sect, the Sword Sage of Ten Thousand Daos, used supreme power to drag Wushuang Sect into an alternate dimension, preventing the invasion of the extraterrestrial demons.
However, among the extraterrestrial demons, there was a Devouring Demon God. The Devouring Demon God split into countless soul fragments. One soul fragment wandered near the passage. This fragment possessed the ability of devouring and gnawed away part of the spatial laws, successfully escaping the alternate dimension and arriving in this world.
This soul fragment wasn't strong. After arriving in this world, it cultivated for a long time before gaining a portion of consciousness.
However, the soul fragment couldn't survive independently for long. Under the protagonist's luck, Yang Yun encountered the soul fragment just as it regained partial consciousness and absorbed it.
From then on, Yang Yun and this demonic soul formed a symbiotic relationship.
Although the demonic soul grew stronger over time, because it was initially suppressed by Yang Yun, it could never break free.
In order to gain control of the body, the demonic soul offered Yang Yun many benefits.
During their struggle, the demonic soul taught Yang Yun the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Technique and other top secret arts.
Thus Yang Yun achieved the position of Demon Lord. However, he remained wary of the demonic soul, so although he gained many benefits, he never planned on using its power.
This time, Yang Yun was driven into a desperate situation and ultimately decided to release the power of the demonic soul.
After this, he could no longer fully suppress the demonic soul, and the demonic soul gained control over half of the body."
The system explained the entire cause and effect very clearly.
Yun Jin's expression grew increasingly grim.
In the original story, Yang Yun probably never encountered a situation forcing him to release the demonic soul. He simply relied on the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Technique to obtain everything he wanted, even ascending to the immortal realm and beginning a new journey.
But the story ended when Yang Yun and Ye Danxia ascended.
What about afterward?
If the story continued, there would definitely be a plot involving this demonic soul.
How could a soul of the Devouring Demon God be content to remain suppressed?
There would inevitably be a conflict between the demonic soul and Yang Yun.
However, these matters weren't written in the story, and she also couldn't know them about them.
