Chapter 26: Mirror Demon of the Void

Black Light Mountain, the Devouring Demon Temple.

A black stone temple stood among rugged and peculiar rocks, surrounded by ancient towering trees. The stone path was secluded, covered in moss.

On this day, a man and a woman walked along the stone path and arrived in front of the Devouring Demon Temple.

The man wore a gray Daoist robe, with a slightly weathered face. His tall and handsome figure exuded an air of scholarly elegance, as if he were a well-read scholar.

The woman had a tall figure, wearing a silver dark-patterned long skirt. Her pair of round and slender snow-white legs were occasionally revealed, showcasing her graceful curves.

Her willow-like eyebrows carried a hint of killing intent, but she was chatting and laughing with the man beside her, appearing to be in a pleasant conversation all the way.

The two were Pang Yue and Ran Yunxin.

For cultivators, nine months was just a fleeting moment.

Today, the Devouring Demon Temple was opening, and the two of them came together.

Inside the Devouring Demon Temple, not only could they refine their spells and enhance their combat experience, but more importantly, they could hunt Heavenly Demons and obtain Heavenly Demon relics to exchange for sect merits!

It could be said that the Devouring Demon Temple was one of the most efficient places for the Demon Talisman Sect to gain merits.

In the eleven years since Pang Yue entered the inner sect, he had only cultivated one Divine Ability from the Flame Demon Temple.

The remaining six Divine Abilities required a large amount of merits to obtain.

When the two arrived in front of the temple, they saw an old woman in a plain robe sitting cross-legged on a lotus platform, motionless like a statue.

The main gate of the black temple was wide open, and the inside was pitch black, like a black hole devouring all light.

Pang Yue took out the Devouring Demon Temple token and bowed to the old woman.

It was well known that the elder guarding the Devouring Demon Temple must be a Gold Core stage cultivator.

The current old woman was even more unfathomable.

The old woman's eyes narrowed slightly, motionless. However, a snow-white fox appeared behind her, its big round eyes curiously observing the two.

"Both Fellow Daoists are polite. May I ask how to address you?" The fox spoke in human language, sounding like a young boy.

"Xu Liming from the Flame Demon Temple and Ran Yunxin from the Yuanmo Temple have come to the Devouring Demon Temple for the trial," Pang Yue said in a deep voice.

The fox nodded and asked curiously, "The people who entered before were all inheritors of various temples. Are you two mid-stage Dao Foundation disciples from the inner sect not afraid of wasting the token?"

Pang Yue felt embarrassed.

Ran Yunxin calmly said, "There seems to be no rule in the sect's regulations that prohibits inner sect disciples from entering."

The fox grinned and said, "That's true. I was just being nosy... One token can bring two people inside, but it can only protect one person. If you encounter danger, make sure the distance between the two of you doesn't exceed ten feet, otherwise... hehe!"

Implied in his words, it seemed that he didn't have much confidence in the two.

However, Pang Yue didn't say much to the Gold Core stage spirit pet. He arched his hand towards the fox and stepped into the Devouring Demon Temple on his own.

The boundless darkness immediately enveloped the two.

After a few breaths, a few faint lights flickered in the darkness.

Pang Yue was about to take a closer look when she felt the hard ground beneath her feet.

In the next moment, the darkness receded.

A strange and magnificent scene appeared before their eyes.

Under the velvety black sky, the stars shone brightly, creating a clear and tranquil atmosphere.

Numerous broken floating islands, resembling islands, were suspended in the air, chaotic in all directions.

Below the floating islands, a vast, pale blue membrane of the boundary sky extended in all directions.

Compared to the floating islands, it was like dust floating on a blue light curtain!

"This is the extradimensional void!" Pang Yue and the others stood on a floating island surrounded by desolate sand and stone gullies.

Looking into the distance, they could vaguely see floating islands in the sky, slowly drifting.

A cold smile appeared on Ran Yunxin's face as she pointed in the distance and said, "There seems to be a group of Heavenly Demons over there. Let's go and take a look!"

The excitement in her tone made Pang Yue glance at her involuntarily.

If the blind date at Yuelaiju was a meeting, then this time, it was a real date.

It's just that the location is a bit... unrelated to romance.

Ran Yunxin's slender and charming figure flickered, turning into a silver light and rushing towards the distance.

Pang Yue also released his escape light and leisurely followed.

They saw a mass of dark monsters gathered together, forming a huge ball, wriggling and rolling, making people's scalp tingle.

Upon closer inspection, these monsters were all Heavenly Demons with wolf heads and centipede bodies.

Wolf Centipedes!

About thirty feet long, they could move through the void and were skilled at tearing and devouring flesh and blood.

Information about Heavenly Demons flashed through Pang Yue's mind.

Roughly estimating, there were no less than ten thousand of these Wolf Centipedes in this huge ball!

Among them, there were several Wolf Centipedes at the Dao Foundation realm, emitting a fierce and intense demonic aura.

Seeing cultivators flying over, the ball of Wolf Centipedes immediately dispersed, with countless centipede legs moving in the sky, attacking the two of them.

"Brother Xu, let's see who can kill more Heavenly Demons!"

Ran Yunxin lightly shouted, raising her hand and releasing a hundred dark golden sword lights, slashing towards the sky full of Wolf Centipedes.

These dark golden sword lights were extremely sharp, with the blades burning with strange golden flames. Wherever they passed, the Wolf Centipedes were all killed.

The Demon Fire Golden Sword!

One of the Divine Abilities of the Yuanmo Hall.

The Yuanmo Hall was different from the other four halls.

The disciples of this hall used the Yuanmo True Qi as their foundation, constantly nurturing and strengthening themselves. They had endless means and could also temper their bodies through Flesh Refining.

Among the five halls of the Demon Talisman Sect, the disciples of the Yuanmo Hall had the most unpredictable methods.

Seeing the countless Wolf Centipedes, Ran Yunxin's killing intent surged. The hundred demonic fire golden swords moved in an orderly manner, sharp and icy, constantly harvesting Heavenly Demons.

Several Heavenly Demons flew towards Pang Yue, but before they could get close, they mysteriously split into two halves and fell down.

Ran Yun's heart skipped a beat as she glanced at it.

"Sword Intent taking form?"

Pang Yue stood calmly in the void, hands behind his back, allowing the Wolf Centipede to attack.

However, within three zhang around him, a strange vacuum formed!

Once the Wolf Centipede approached within three zhang, it was cut in half by the incredibly sharp Sword Intent, cleanly and neatly.

Suddenly.

A giant Wolf Centipede, a hundred zhang long, burst out from the ground, carrying a cloud of dust. Its huge mouth opened wide, aiming to swallow Pang Yue in one bite!

A vast and surging Heavenly Demon aura rose into the sky.

It was a Wolf Centipede comparable to the Dao Foundation Late Stage!

Pang Yue's face turned solemn as he flicked his finger. Two crimson-gold talisman swords bloomed with brilliant sword radiance, each dragging a hundred zhang of sword radiance, slashing downwards.

The Wolf Centipede roared, sending out invisible ripples that shook the void.

The crimson-gold talisman swords moved through the air, twisting like fish, agile like dragons, cutting through the void and slashing at the Wolf Centipede!

Boom!

Crimson fire and black radiance intertwined and erupted.

Dazzling sword radiance flashed frequently, instantly unleashing thousands of strikes!

The black demonic energy on the Wolf Centipede dissipated inch by inch, and its body was cut into countless pieces, scattering in the void.

A crystal-clear, diamond-like relic, wrapped in the crimson-gold talisman sword, rolled back in front of Pang Yue.

Heavenly Demon relic.

Pang Yue reached out and grabbed the Heavenly Demon relic, immediately feeling an extremely pure demonic energy surging into his body!

The Flame Demon's power operated on its own, greedily absorbing this demonic energy. The two merged, undergoing a mysterious chemical reaction, further transforming the Flame Demon's power!

Although his power did not increase, the quality of his power was improved!

Pang Yue finally realized why the Heavenly Demon relic was so precious.

For a disciple of the Demon Sect, this item was no less valuable than a spiritual elixir!

Only the Dao Foundation Heavenly Demons could condense Heavenly Demon relics.

While he was still stunned, Ran Yun had already killed the remaining Wolf Centipedes.

She also obtained the relics of several ordinary Dao Foundation Wolf Centipedes.

This tall and attractive female cultivator was now surrounded by a hundred strands of demonic fire and golden knives, her killing intent tangible.

"The Flame Talisman Sword Sutra is indeed extraordinary."

Ran Yun looked at Pang Yue with beautiful eyes, her fighting spirit surging, wanting to test Pang Yue's strength.

"The demonic fire golden knives are not bad either."

Pang Yue's gaze was deep as he used the unnamed pupil technique to observe his surroundings. Then he pointed his finger, and the two crimson-gold talisman swords merged into one, turning into a dazzling golden sword light, slashing through the air.

Clang!

Ripples of emptiness undulated.

Then, a transparent Heavenly Demon resembling a round mirror appeared.

This mirror demon was about ten zhang in size, resembling a circle, but with countless edges and corners at the edges, shimmering with a glass-like transparent luster.

From the side, it looked as thin as paper!

"Be careful, it's the Void Mirror Demon!"

Ran Yunxin lightly called out, and the demonic fire golden blade surged like a tide, instantly submerging the Void Mirror Demon.

Suddenly, the Void Mirror Demon lightly turned and disappeared.

The demonic fire golden blade slashed into the void, emitting a piercing whistle.

Suddenly!

The void behind Ran Yunxin condensed, and the mirror demon rotated and cut, horizontally slashing the slender waist of the woman.

Ran Yunxin remained calm and composed, extending her snow-white hand and throwing a punch, directly hitting the mirror demon's main body.

The Void Mirror Demon trembled, then suddenly disappeared, only to reappear behind her and swiftly cut down.

Ran Yunxin shouted, her figure spinning like a top, with numerous afterimages, instantly unleashing hundreds of fist radiance.

Meanwhile, the Void Mirror Demon appeared and disappeared intermittently, sometimes in front, sometimes behind, seemingly elusive.

It kept surrounding Ran Yunxin and attacking.

Pang Yue originally wanted to help, but he saw the surging aura around him.

Using the Nameless Eye Technique, he discovered that there were seven or eight hidden Void Mirror Demons in the air, cutting towards him.

They were all Dao Foundation level Heavenly Demons!

These Void Mirror Demons were skilled in hiding and had extremely sharp bodies. Once hit by them, without a Law Treasure level body protection method, death was certain.

Pang Yue let out a long roar, and a reddish-gold light flashed around his body.

Nine reddish-gold talisman swords suddenly appeared, each evolving into a three-zhang-long rainbow, exuding a chilling Sword Intent, all following his will.

After nine months of quiet cultivation, he had refined eight talisman swords.

Each talisman sword trembled slightly, splitting into countless sword lights!

For a moment, dazzling sword lights scattered throughout the surrounding void, and the sword lights resembled water ripples, spreading rapidly.

Wherever the sword lights passed, the space emitted strange cracking sounds.

In an instant.

The sword lights dissipated.

Eight Heavenly Demon relics were captured by Pang Yue.

Unlike Ran Yunxin's passive confrontation, with the assistance of the Nameless Eye Technique, Pang Yue instantly found the flaw in the Shattering Void Mirror Demon and used his incredibly agile talisman swords to strike, achieving instant success!

On the other side.

After dispersing the hundred fist radiance, Ran Yunxin raised her hand, and a small, sleek black flying knife flashed out!

Crack!

The black flying knife accurately hit the center of the Void Mirror Demon, which shattered inch by inch like glass.
