Chapter 233: Sacrifice? (1/2)
The old ancestor riding the black-furred boar saw Jiang Li on the giant's shoulder with his sharp eyes. While he was surprised, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Although he did not know what had happened, it should not be the Hundred Tempering Mountain's helper.
”Looks like he's one of us. That kid Jiang Li has quite the fortune!”
At this moment, they also saw the great battle outside. With the help of the demon beast tide, the cultivators of the three sects were rushing towards the interior of the Hundred Tempering Mountain.
”Old friends, the juniors outside are so hardworking. We can't fall behind!”
”Hmph! I must kill those few fellows from the Hundred Tempering Mountain today!”
The eight of them targeted another Demon General transformed from a peak-level cultivator of the Hundred Tempering Mountain.
The Demon General's entire body jolted from being stared at, but he wanted to escape but was firmly entangled by the opponent in front of him. Soon, he was surrounded by nine people with no way out.
On the Wind Protection Giant's side, its mind was a little slow, but its strength was really powerful.
After seeing the spatial crack, its one eye became ferocious.
The Wind Protection Giant instinctively felt disgusted by the aura of the Asura World.
The tornado mace in his hand was thrown out. It quickly swelled and surrounded the entire crack.
The sharp tornado was like a super large meat grinder, crushing all the monsters that emerged.
The Wind Protection Giant's control of the wind was not only based on spiritual qi, but also used the power of nature.
In the Hundred Tempering Mountain, it was enveloped by the black lotus shadow and did not have any spiritual qi, so the power of the tornado had decreased.
However, the scope and power of the violent wind was still very large. It was not something that ordinary Asura World monsters could resist.
As soon as this tornado appeared, there were few monsters that could pass through the wind wall. It quickly reduced the number of enemies.
This temporarily blocked the endless monsters.
The cultivators of the three sects no longer had any reservations and chased after the remaining Demon Generals.
Including Old Demon Black Lotus and Situ Fengzhu, the remaining four Demon Generals thought that they were confident of victory and could use the power opposite the spatial crack to conquer the Great Mountain Region.
Although they were no longer humans, their ambitions did not decrease at all.
However, at this moment, seeing a Demon General being beaten to death, they who had fallen into madness could not help but feel fear.
Now, the cultivators of the three sects had freed themselves with the help of the Wind Protection Giant and many demon beasts.
Another Demon General was captured and attacked by nine top-notch experts. The huge Asura on the other side of the gap could not come over, and the remaining three no longer had the courage to continue.
Risking their injuries, they forced back the three top cultivators for a moment. Then, they turned around and broke through the tornado wall before charging into the spatial rift.
The last three troublesome Demon Generals fled, so how could the remaining monsters still have the strength to fight?
In just half an hour, the chaotic battlefield had already come to an end.
All the higher-ups were gasping for breath as they gathered in front of the spatial crack blocked by the tornado.
Jiang Li stood there holding a five-armed Core Formation monster. Although he was only at the Foundation Establishment realm, his credit for this battle was extremely great. No one questioned his qualifications to stand here.
”Martial Ancestor, how should we close this gap?”
The three Hundred Tempering Mountain cultivators who had transformed into Asura monsters fled into the Asura World, but the spatial crack did not close.
It was naturally impossible to leave such a dangerous thing here. Otherwise, there would be no peace in the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region.
Fortunately, they were not completely clueless.
More than 200 years ago, the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak and Scripture Storage Valley had joined forces to destroy the Black Lotus Divine Sect.
Since they had already closed the spatial crack once, the experienced Guardians and Shu Mountain Hidden Sword Elders definitely knew a little.
”Once such a spatial rift is opened and closed, it won't be so simple anymore!”
”Hou Hei! Bring your men to cut off the earth vein.”
One of the Hidden Sword Elders of Shu Mountain stood up and began to organize people to give orders. At this moment, the only one who could speak was the leader of the Great Mountain Region, Shu Mountain.
”Yes!”
”Young friend Jiang Li, we have to trouble you again.”
The Shu Mountain Earth Peak's Peak Master, Hou Hei, stepped forward and acknowledged. Then, he turned around and cupped his hands towards Jiang Li.
The earth vein had previously been forcefully moved by the array formation. Now that it had been broken and recovered, it was very likely that it had returned to its original location.
If they had to find it again, it would take a long time. Naturally, they needed Jiang Li's help.
Jiang Li naturally had no choice but to put away the spoils of war in his hand and leave with Peak Master Hou Hei.
However, this made the other higher-ups very surprised.
The dignified Peak Master of the Shu Mountain Earth Peak actually had to consult a junior when finding the earth vein?
”Guangling, what's going on?”
After Dongfang Guangling explained the previous matter, the others finally understood why they could break the Hundred Tempering Mountain's defensive array so quickly when the battle started.
It turned out that there was actually the credit of such a junior here.
In a short four hours, Jiang Li brought his people to find the earth vein that had been moved back to its original location. Many array masters followed behind him and set up array formations as they walked. Soon, they completely severed the earth vein.
Without the support of the earth vein power, the huge lotus phantom in the sky finally began to slowly collapse.
Without the obstruction of the black lotus shadow, the surrounding spiritual qi of heaven and earth immediately swept over, colliding intensely with the power of chaos here.
Without the power of the earth vein, the huge spatial crack began to slowly shrink and heal.
Without the cultivators' control, the black lotus platform could no longer be handled.
Many high-level cultivators joined forces and sealed the black lotus platform with the power of the three sects.
Soon, the crack shrunk to a length of 30 feet, only enough for one or two people to pass through.
The monsters of the Asura World squeezed through the crack and wanted to rush over.
However, without intelligence, they were cut into pieces before they could squeeze over! Even if a few came here, they would not be able to cause any trouble.
However, after the spatial crack shrank to this size, it no longer healed.
The reason was that the spatial crack was two-way. On the other side of the Asura World, there was also something maintaining this passageway.
According to the top cultivators of Shu Mountain and Scripture Storage Valley, such a spatial rift could not be opened casually.
They had to offer a blood sacrifice to the Asura Lord of the other world. After the two-way connection was established, it could be opened.
Moreover, if they wanted to open a spatial crack as large as before, they would need powerful support on both sides.
On the side of the Great Mountain Region, the demonic artifact, Black Lotus, was maintaining the crack. On the other side, there was a special building called the Blood Pool of the Asura World.
Once this passageway was formed, the opposite blood pool could also maintain the crack unilaterally.
In other words, if they wanted to completely close the crack, they had to cut off all the power on both sides.
Someone had to pass through the gap to the other side and destroy the blood pool building.
