CHAPTER 732: CHAPTER 395: CENTIPEDE_2

Swish, swish, swish!

There’s no more room for hesitation or retreat! It’s as if any more hesitation would shatter one’s Daoist Heart!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Don’t care whether you win or not!

Just care whether you do it or not!

If the sky falls and the earth sinks, I’ll hold it up!

To take on responsibility with no hesitation!

This is my path!

Accelerating all the way, swift as the wind!

Before Huangfu Yi could waver in his chaotic thoughts and regret, he had already burned his bridges, cutting off any route of retreat! He slid all the way down from the centipede’s head and fell out!

"Boom!"

"Demon—!"

With determination to rush into the Demon Nest, sacrificing himself in the fray! Huangfu Yi unleashed the full power of the Five Immortals Sword Light and charged with his rod! Sacrificing himself for righteousness!

"Demon, demon, demon, demon demon demon demon..."

However, before Huangfu Yi was not a swarm or a Demon Cave, but a vast expanse of darkness.

Dark as pitch, above and below, without a hint of light.

Using Divine Sense to probe, he could only discern that the surroundings were an extremely vast space, like an underground lava cave.

He sniffed hard, but couldn’t detect any Demon Qi, probably because he had descended so deep, far beyond the range of the nest above.

Huangfu Yi thought for a moment, took out the Nine Heavens Sword Pavilion, and placed it on the ground, pinched the formula, and released the Sun and Moon Double Rings, Yin Yang Double Rings.

Swish!

The Yin Yang Wheels immediately shone brightly, soaring skywards!

These two are naturally spiritually endowed magic treasures, unwilling to submit to the murderous thieves, struggling desperately to escape, to return to the summit of Songshan Mountain. Unfortunately, the pair of Dharma Wheels were entangled by the strong light, like kites, tethered to the Nine Heavens Sword Pavilion, unable to escape far, circling like a small sun in the vast cave, seen from afar, they seemed like paired butterflies.

With the brilliance of the Double Wheels, Huangfu Yi alertly surveyed all around, involuntarily holding his breath.

It was a city!

Grand halls, towering and majestic towers, architecture of unseen style, a city constructed with bronze, steel, and alloy! And from afar, even demon statues of distinct style could be seen!

Could it be the relics of the Ancient Demon Clan?

Huangfu Yi, a legitimate Guardian Immortal Army successor, had due to childhood experiences developed a strong wariness towards the Demon Clan. Naturally, he had inquired and knew that over ten thousand years ago, the Demon Clan were the rulers of the land, and at that time, humans seemed to be considered a branch beneath the monkey tribe...

Fortunately, the Immortal Venerable emerged, delivering a flurry of punches and kicks, beating the Demon Emperor and Demon King to death, with the remnants fleeing in panic to the Four Seas and Eight Desolates, thus establishing the vast territories of the Immortal Palace.

As such, throughout the Three Constellations and Twelve Countries, beneath deep mountains and forests, Cave Heaven Blessed Lands, various ancient relics of the Demon Clan and remnants of their former subordinates are indeed numerous.

Huangfu Yi concentrated on observing the surrounding terrain. With the illumination of the Sun and Moon Wheels, Divine Sense probing, and arithmetic deductions, he gradually understood the current situation.

This underground void was more profound and extensive than expected, perhaps a naturally formed massive underground cavern, the entire Demon Clan city was actually a suspended Flying Island, similar to the sky cities of the Three Constellations, suspended like a chandelier in the mid-air of a cliff by the shed exoskeleton of a massive centipede, biting onto it with its jaws.

Indeed, he had just traveled down along the giant centipede exoskeleton, a hundred zhang long, surrounded by eight in total, like chains, biting and securing the edges of this ancient city. In the light of the Sun and Moon, one could clearly see golden runic Arrays on the centipede’s head.

Coincidentally, this Array Huangfu Yi had studied before... No, it was not a coincidence at all, it was a compulsory course for the Guardians.

Eight Golden Locks, Sealing Demon Altar.

This is the Sealing Demon Array set up by the Immortal Palace Guards, to guard and seal various Demon relics, preventing demons from reviving, and when the Demon God or Demon Lord breaks the seal to wreak havoc, it’s the duty of the Guardian Immortal Army to step in and block them.

Mingming, there seems to be destiny, perhaps this is his fate.

Whether it was a summon that reached him, or him realizing his fate.

In this moment, in this setting, Huangfu Yi calmed his heart, no longer hesitating, no longer wavering, holding the Sword Pavilion in one hand, raising the Iron Rod in the other, with a golden sword fire blazing on the blade like a torch, without looking back, heading towards the bronze Demon Cave.

In the interplay of the Yin Yang Wheels, with the sword light of Yangming Yaoguang, amidst the dim and bright, Huangfu Yi alone entered the formation, along the bronze ground, marching forward into this vast, desolate relic, the colossal Demon City.

It was unclear whether it was an illusion, but this place felt reminiscent of Yangjingbang, with towering buildings of alloy like mountains, hive-like entrances, crisscrossing channels and viaducts connecting the entire underground city.

As Huangfu Yi passed through the outer metal shell into the tunnel, getting closer to the city core, the relic became increasingly clammy, initially spotting decay and mold-like filth in corners, thereafter the ground had visible sticky fungal carpets, until finally the entire city was covered with layers of fungi, everywhere vibrant, fluorescent mushrooms, for a moment resembling a mushroom forest.

These fungi clearly weren’t part of the city’s original design, seeming more like some invasive species, with the entire city’s air filled with luminescent fungal spores, occasionally ’puffing’ out a large amount of fluorescent dust, the airborne particles reflecting light, covering everywhere, infecting the lungs, likely some kind of toxic miasma.
