These are actually living Brahma Demon Gu larvae!
He groaned, and the Dayan Jue started running frantically. The Nascent Soul in his body suddenly opened its eyes, and the runes of "Quenching Gold Jue" appeared in its pupils.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, how does this Chi Nian Lei taste?"

The shadow of Saint Yuansha appeared in the blood mist created by the explosion of the Nascent Soul of the young man surnamed Xu.

The evil totem of Ksitigarbha on the tail feathers of the spiritual bird actually resonated with the blood curse on Lin Yinping's wrist, dragging Qi Miao Zhenren towards the demonized demon-subduing pestle.

Xuan Qingzi's whisk exploded, and countless Taiyi pure energy turned into chains that entangled the Heavenly Demon Mirror, and the mirror reflected the shocking truth.

In Chen Yun’s Dantian, a group of gold-eating insects were gnawing at each other, and fragments of the Avici Sutra appeared on their carapaces!
Golden blood oozed out of Chen Yun's seven orifices, and every drop of blood that fell to the ground turned into insect eggs.

The silver light of the Wind and Thunder Wings suddenly increased, but bronze rust appeared at the base of the wings.

This innate spiritual treasure had already been planted with evil spirits!

Gui Ling roared and sacrificed the Mountain Seal. The ancient Chinese character "Yue" at the bottom of the seal lit up, and the Kunwu Mountain's earth veins rose up in response, revealing eighty-one stone figurines.

The movements of these stone statues were stiff, but they formed the Buddhist Vajra Seal, temporarily suppressing the surging evil spirit.

Qi Miao Zhenren was dragged to the front of the Demon-Subduing Pestle by the blood chain, and suddenly tore open his Taoist robe, revealing half of the Heavenly Demon Stele embedded in his chest.

The inscription on the stele resonated with the magic pattern on the pestle, and the entire space of Kunwu Mountain began to fold. A crack in the underworld appeared, and the glazed golden body of Ksitigarbha's self-sealed soul was floating in it.

Yuansha's shadow lightly tapped, the glazed golden body cracked, the Brahma demon poisonous insects poured out, and Chen Yun's Qingzhu Fengyun sword failed to protect its master.

At the critical moment, Chen Yun's Yuanying uttered Sanskrit sounds, which resonated with the belly patterns of the crying soul beast and condensed into the virtual image of "The Sutra of the Past Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva".

The poisonous insect was struck by lightning, and the scriptures on its carapace were peeled off and reassembled. It turned out that the true spirit of Ksitigarbha used Yuansha to re-refine the "Tempering Gold Art".

Yuansha's shadow changed color, his glazed golden body shattered, his bronze insect eggs cracked, and the gold-eating insect king flapped its wings and flew out, with the compassion and determination of Ksitigarbha's true spirit flowing in his eyes.

The Insect King shattered the void, and the poisonous insect in Chen Yun's body broke out of his body and turned into a golden letter in the Buddha's light.

The truth from thousands of years ago is revealed as the pages are turned.

Ksitigarbha used his split soul to seal the evil thoughts in the insect eggs, and deliberately let Yuansha tamper with the secret technique of ripening the eggs, using the devilish energy to temper the Buddha nature of the Insect King!
Xuan Qingzi took the opportunity to activate Taiyi's pure energy to melt the Heavenly Demon Stele and the Demon Subduing Pestle.

The physical body of Qi Miao Zhenren exploded, and his spirit transformed into a demon spell that was imprinted on Lin Yinping's forehead.

As the saint screamed miserably, the blood curse on her wrist turned into a golden lock, pulling Yuansha's phantom into her body and sealing her.

Kunwu Mountain collapsed with a loud bang, and a huge bronze bell rose from the earth's veins.

The insect patterns on the bell body resonate with the gold-eating insect king, playing the "Pure World Sanskrit Sound".

The silver rust on Chen Yunfeng's thunder wings faded, revealing the real bones of the Thunder Peng engraved with Buddhist verses. The remaining soul of the young man surnamed Xu appeared in the sound of the bell, knelt on the ground and cried:

"The 3600th secret room in the underground palace of the Holy Temple contains the real "Gold Tempering Technique"..."

When the last trace of evil spirit dissipated, the Insect King landed on Chen Yun's shoulder with the Glazed Buddha Heart in its mouth.

Xuan Qingzi looked at the mess on the ground and suddenly realized:
"According to ancient documents, when the Gold Devouring Bug King appears in the world, the rift in the underworld will reopen!"

In a quiet place for practice, Chen Yun slowly reached out and gently stroked the hard carapace of the Insect King.

The touch feels like touching warm jade, exuding a cool breath.

Upon closer inspection, through the tiny gaps in the shell, one can vaguely glimpse the spatial ripples leading to the mysterious spiritual world.

Seventy-two ancient and solemn bronze tripods were hanging quietly in the void, floating up and down.

Each bronze tripod seemed to contain endless mysteries, and from it came the familiar and chilling roar of the Soul-Crying Beast...

At this moment, the gorgeous tail feathers of the Lingxi Peacock slowly bloomed with colorful rays of light in the wonderful atmosphere of space vibration, like a dreamlike color intertwined together.

Under the influence of this strange force, the phantom of the Nascent Soul of the young man surnamed Xu suddenly became distorted and deformed, looking extremely strange.

At the same time, the Heavenly Demon Mirror in the hands of Qi Miao Zhenren also made a continuous buzzing sound, as if telling some ominous omen.

Through the mirror, one can clearly see a dead bear standing in front of the eerie ninth-floor altar, quickly making hand gestures and casting spells.

The body of the Silver-Winged Yaksha was pierced through by seventy-two bronze chains.

At the end of each chain is a Buddha bone relic that emits a faint light and seems to contain endless Buddha power.

"Taiyi Qingqi, suppress!"

Xuan Qingzi swung the whisk in his hand violently, and in an instant, the whisk exploded.

Thousands of pure and clear air condensed in an instant, forming a mysterious Bagua formation.

At the core of this formation, the Tian'a Sword suddenly hung upside down in the air.

The ancient seal character "Xuan" inlaid on the hilt of the sword emitted a bright and deep green light.

Chen Yun's eyes were fixed on the patterns on the hilt, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

He was surprised to find that the pattern on the hilt was strikingly similar to the mysterious reincarnation mark on the belly of the Soul-Crying Beast!
The black mist that emerged from the cracks in the ground instantly condensed into devil's claws, and the blood curse on Lin Yinping's wrist suddenly exploded.

Five blood lines wrapped around her limbs like poisonous snakes, dragging her deeper into the rift.

"help me!"

The saint screamed miserably. Suddenly, the Lingxi Peacock's tail feathers exploded, and Xu's Yuanying, wrapped in five-colored spiritual light, escaped into her Dantian.

This body actually became a temporary container for possession.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, help me!"

The young man named Xu, who had transformed into a half-human, half-bird, roared, and the Buddha's light bursting from between his feathers resonated with the magic patterns in the black fog.

Gui Ling suddenly cut his wrist, and the blood of the giant mountain spirit drew the "Yue" totem in the air. In response, the Kunwu Mountain veins rose up and eighty-one stone figurines emerged.

The movements of these stone statues were stiff, but they formed the Buddhist Vajra Seal, temporarily suppressing the surging evil spirit.

"Little tricks!"

A sneer from Saint Yuansha came from the depths of the rift.

The demonized demon-subduing pestle came through the air, and the hideous face of Ksitigarbha with evil thoughts appeared on the tip of the pestle.

The silver light of Chen Yun's wind and thunder wings suddenly increased, but the bronze rust at the base of the wings suddenly spread.

There are actually seventy-two Brahma and demon chains hidden inside this innate spiritual treasure!

Amid the clanging of chains, the shadow of Lei Peng appeared behind Chen Yun.

Every bone of this ancient spiritual bird is engraved with the "Art of Tempering Gold", and the remnant consciousness of Ksitigarbha's true spirit flows in its pupils.

When the Demon-Subduing Pestle touched the Wind-Thunder Wings, the entire Kunwu Mountain was filled with the sound of Buddhist bells.

The Buddha's bone relics that were sacrificed with the blood of the corpse bear suddenly flew backwards and formed a "Heart Sutra" formation in the void.

"I see!"

Xuan Qingzi suddenly realized that the Tian'a Sword suddenly turned its blade.

"The Taiyi Sect's secret book records that Ksitigarbha's soul sealed his true spirit in the remains of Thunder Peng. These Wind and Thunder Wings are the core of the formation that suppresses the evil spirit!"

Chen Yun only felt that his Nascent Soul was shaking violently, and the swarm of gold-eating insects in his body suddenly started to eat each other.

The golden seal script automatically turned the pages, revealing the truth that it had been tampered with.

The so-called secret technique of ripening is actually the hatching ceremony of the Brahma Demon Gu!
The Insect King's compound eyes lit up with blood-red light, and what spewed out of his mouthparts was no longer golden clouds, but a whirlpool of the Styx that contained fragments of the "Nirvana Mantra".

At the critical moment, Gui Ling suddenly knelt down and recited scriptures.

The body of the giant mountain spirit cracked inch by inch, revealing the gilded Buddha bones inside.

This ugly woman turned out to be the mountain-guarding stone spirit enlightened by Dizang in the past!

The "卍" seal on the palm of the Buddha's bone was pressed to the ground, and the entire Kunwu Mountain began to fold, revealing the hidden ninth layer of space.

The sea of ​​blood surged and churned, as if it contained endless strange power. The corpse bear and the silver-winged Yaksha had strangely merged together and transformed into a new monster.

This monster is huge and strange, with six huge wings growing on its back.

The left half of his body shows the sacred and solemn appearance of Vajra Buddha, while the right half reveals the hideous and ferocious appearance of an Asura evil spirit.

In its hand, the demon-subduing pestle that was supposed to slay demons and monsters has now completely become a demon.

Seventy-two blood-red eyes suddenly opened on the pestle, and in each of these eyes, Chen Yun's figure was clearly reflected.

"Welcome to the Holy Ancestor!"

With a low shout, Yuansha's shadow slowly appeared above the monster's head.

I saw it raise its hands and tear open its chest with force. In an instant, a mysterious aura spread out.

It turned out that within its glass heart, there was sleeping a strange being that was a fusion of Ksitigarbha's evil thoughts and the spirit of an ancient demon.

When this phantom slowly sank into the monster's body, the entire space seemed to be under tremendous pressure and began to collapse involuntarily.

At the same time, the bronze chain stretched out from the void like a nimble giant python.

With a powerful suction force, it pulled everyone present towards the mysterious altar.

At this critical moment, the wind and thunder wings transformed by Chen Yun suddenly flapped their wings and flew high on their own.

Accompanied by a roar, the remains of Lei Peng made an eternal cry, as if telling an ancient and mysterious story.

What was surprising was that the Brahma-Demon chains that originally imprisoned everything actually broke into pieces under the influence of this mysterious force.

When the chain was broken, the lightning patterns engraved with Buddhist verses inside appeared before everyone's eyes, flashing with strange light.

On the other side, the Tian'a sword in Xuan Qingzi's hand suddenly made a crisp breaking sound.

Just as everyone was astonished, a bronze insect egg flew out from the sword. After careful identification, it was discovered that it was the original embryo of the Gold Devouring Insect King!

"So this is the real 'Gold Tempering Technique'!"

Chen Yun suddenly had an idea and made a prompt decision. He bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The insect eggs changed instantly under the nourishment of the essence and blood. They transformed when they came into contact with blood, and then merged perfectly with the demonized insect swarm in Chen Yun's body.

Miraculously, the true appearance of Ksitigarbha appeared on the carapace of the newly born insect king, and purifying Buddhist sounds came out of his mouth from time to time.

Wherever this Sanskrit sound passed, the evil spirit that was originally pervasive instantly dissipated without a trace.

The monster flapped its wings and flew high, and the demon-subduing pestle turned into a bloody blade and chopped down.

The Insect King accepted the challenge, and the energy of Buddha and demon collided in the void, creating a chaotic vortex.

Lin Yinping, controlled by the young man named Xu, suddenly exploded, and half a volume of the "Avici Sutra" flew out in the blood mist. The scripture was integrated into the blood blade, greatly increasing its power.

"It's now!"

The Guiling Buddha's bones were inserted into the altar, and eighty-one stone statues exploded.

In the shock wave, the silver rust on Chen Yun's wind and thunder wings faded away, revealing the seal array diagram engraved by Dizang himself.

This is the key to suppressing Kunwu Mountain.

When the light of the formation enveloped the monster, Yuansha's shadow roared unwillingly.

Ksitigarbha's evil thoughts were stripped from the demon's body and dissipated as green smoke in the Buddha's light.

The remains of the dead bear fell to the ground, and the demon-subduing pestle shattered. Each fragment reflected the scene of Ksitigarbha's soul sealing itself ten thousand years ago.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Kunwu Mountain was reduced to ruins. Xuan Qingzi held the broken sword and murmured:
"According to Taiyi's ancient books, the day when the Gold Devourer appears in the world is the day when the underworld reopens..."

Chen Yun stroked the insect king's carapace and felt the surging power of Buddha and demon.

The wind and thunder wings vibrated, and ripples leading to the spiritual world appeared in the void.

Countless bronze tripods sank and floated in the Styx, and the familiar roar of soul-crying beasts came from the tripods.

Lin Yinping's soul loomed in the blood mist, and the golden lock on her wrist turned into a passage into the underworld:

"Fellow Daoist Chen, the real trial is about to begin..."

Chen Yun felt himself spinning around him, and when the black fog dissipated, his feet had already stepped onto the soft rotten soil.

The air was filled with a strong smell of sulfur, and I looked up.

Nine huge bronze pillars supported the blood-red sky, and the chains wrapped around them made disturbing sounds.

In the distance, on the altar that towered into the clouds, a giant two-headed wolf howled towards the sky, its scarlet eyes reflecting demonic patterns all over the sky.

These patterns are strikingly similar to the reincarnation mark on the Soul-Crying Beast’s belly!

"boom!"

The Tian'a sword in Xuan Qingzi's hand burst out with thousands of feet of light, and wherever the tip of the sword passed, the void cracked into spider-web-like patterns.

The old Taoist's hair and beard were all standing upright, and his Taoist robe was fluttering like a sail. He pointed his sword directly at the beating magic crystal between the giant wolf's eyebrows.

However, the dark evil energy wrapped around him like a living thing, and disappeared without a trace as soon as the green light touched him, causing the old Taoist priest to stagger back three steps.

"Seven Treasures to Suppress Demons!"

Qi Miao Zhenren shouted loudly, and seven strange lights shot out from his sleeves.

The wonderful mirror floating in the air reflected not the battlefield scene, but countless twisted and wailing souls.

The remaining souls of those monks who were corroded by evil spirits!
The bronze mirror vibrated and hummed, and the "Heart Purification Mantra" engraved on the edge of the mirror began to crack.

Blood flowed from the corners of Qi Miao Zhenren's mouth, but he still bit his tongue and spurted out blood:

"Yin Yang Ring, open!"

The moment the two rings collided, a chaotic vortex appeared in the void.

Chen Yun's pupils suddenly shrank. The breath overflowing from the vortex was actually from the same source as the spatial fluctuations within the Wind and Thunder Wings!

The seventy-two golden bamboo flying swords moved in response to the sound, forming a sword formation of the Zhoutian Stars. The evil-repelling divine thunder turned into thousands of golden snakes that swam among them.

The evil energy collapsed at the first touch, but at the moment of collapse it condensed into hundreds of skeletons, with the ghost fire of Ksitigarbha's evil thoughts jumping in the empty eye sockets.

"Be careful of the stone tablet!"

Madam Mu's shrill scream pierced the battlefield.

Chen Yun's wind and thunder wings glowed silver and instantly moved to the edge of the altar.

I saw a woman from Huaxian Sect with bloody hands, forcing the tourmaline into the Chiling Soft Jade Stele.

The fragments of the Avici Sutra on the stele squirmed like maggots. Every time they sunk a little deeper, a roar of breaking chains came from the ground.

The corpse bear suddenly grinned fiercely, and its bloody blade rolled back like a rainbow.

The bone wings on the back of the Silver-Winged Yaksha broke with a sound, and the purple-black blood was swallowed by the blood blade before it hit the ground.

The spells on the white-haired corpse demon's body surged, and it turned into a three-meter-long blood cocoon in front of everyone's horrified gazes.

The image of Saint Yuansha appeared on the surface of the cocoon shell, and the nine netherworld demonic energy surged into the cocoon like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

"Mountain Town!"

Gui Ling’s eyes were wide open, and his life-saving magic weapon grew larger in the wind.

The ancient seal character "Yue" at the bottom of the seal lit up with chaotic green light, and the entire Kunwu Mountain's earth veins rose up with a sudden roar.

Eighty-one stone statues emerged from the ground, forming a diamond array to subdue demons, but were devoured by a black dragon. (End of this chapter)
