Unexpectedly, the unexpected still happened.
"Bald donkey! You actually grew an immortal flower?
You actually grew an immortal flower in the demonic land!"
The voice of the inner demon, silent for half a year, sounded again. His voice seemed to emanate from heaven and earth, or from countless vengeful souls speaking in unison, more bizarre than before.
"Excellent, with this immortal flower, this demon can forge an even more powerful True Demonic Body."
"Now, leave my secret realm, and I will spare your life."
As soon as the inner demon finished speaking, a cracking sound like shattering glass echoed from above Yang Hong's head. When Yang Hong looked up, he couldn't help but stare in amazement, gasping for air!
At an altitude of a thousand zhang, a spatial rift ten to twenty zhang wide was torn open, with gray spatial turbulence gushing in.
A spatial rift!
It was a real spatial rift, not an illusion!
Yang Hong clearly sensed the spatial fluctuations of the spatial turbulence a thousand zhang below!
This was terrifying!
To tear open a spatial rift, one needed not only immense power and profound understanding of spatial rules but also a supreme level of control over a space.
This required the convergence of many conditions.
For example, on the Taiyuan Continent, even true immortals descending from the upper realm could not tear open even an inch-wide spatial rift.
As for the "Teleportation" ability, which could be learned from the Nascent Soul stage onwards, it did not tear space. Instead, cultivators used their powerful divine consciousness to find two connected points in space and traverse from one to another.
This was entirely different from tearing space.
This inner demon was the first being Yang Hong had encountered since his cultivation who possessed the ability to tear space!
"Bald donkey, scram! Don't force this demon to kill you."
As Yang Hong was too shocked to speak, the inner demon's voice sounded again, with a hint of urgency;
The spatial rift in the air also began to shrink.
However, Yang Hong, instead of answering, retorted:
"Cough, cough~ That inner demon, what exactly are you? Since you have the ability to tear space, why don't you leave this secret realm?"
"Bald donkey, you don't need to know! You only need to know that you have only one chance, and only 60 breaths of time left."
The inner demon's voice was cold and hard, its bizarre sound echoing as if the entire secret realm were its domain.
"Answer me, if you don't answer, I won't leave."
Yang Hong sensed the outward bravado masking inner fear behind the grand pronouncements. He continuously formed hand seals, condensing the fourth Flame Light Buddha.
"You seek death!"
Seeing Yang Hong's actions, the inner demon was thoroughly enraged. The spatial rift in the air began to slowly descend, and the gray spatial turbulence was redirected towards the operational Yin-Yang Two Forms Spirit Transformation Array.
This inner demon intended to forcibly expel Yang Hong with the spatial rift.
"Hmph~"
Golden Lightning~ Explode!
Seeing the slowly descending spatial rift, Yang Hong first unleashed the "Immovable Wisdom King's Wrath," igniting golden Buddhist flames; then he activated the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo array, and eighty-one golden lightning bolts shot out continuously at the spatial rift.
Boom, boom~ Pfft, pfft~
Amidst the muffled roars, the spatial rift not only failed to widen but rapidly shrunk with the explosions.
Clearly, this spatial rift was quite unstable.
"Damn it! Demonic Devourer of the World!"
The spatial rift in the air suddenly widened, like a giant mouth in the sky devouring everything. The spewing spatial turbulence reversed, and countless air, demonic energy, and the spiritual energy that Yang Hong had painstakingly created were all sucked in.
Seeing this, Yang Hong exclaimed, "Hmm~ You control the space on the other side of the spatial rift as well?"
"This demon controls these myriad spaces, bald donkey, now die!"
"Not a chance.
Golden Thunder Bamboo, all of it, Thunder God's Prison."
Li Sen roared, his divine consciousness flared, and tens of thousands of Heavenly Thunder Bamboo within a thousand-li radius, regardless of their grade, all activated their innate golden lightning, forming a vast golden sea of lightning that enveloped the giant thousand-zhang spatial rift from the reverse, and exploded with ferocity.
"No~ Don't!"
Seeing Yang Hong's suicidal operation, the inner demon panicked and cried out, trying to stop him.
Unfortunately, it was too late!
Crack~ Crack~ Crack~
In the golden sea of lightning, it gradually dispersed, like catkins scattered by a gentle breeze, slowly and softly separating.
If even violent heavenly thunder could be "gentle," one could imagine the power of the force that blew it apart.
In the sky, the giant spatial rift rapidly extended, and a world was slowly pushing its way through.
"Damn it~ Damn it~ Damned bald donkey, do you know what you've done? Do you know what a dangerous thing you've done?"
"No~ this isn't danger, this is madness, do you know what you've..."
The inner demon's voice was filled with anger and terror. The world about to appear seemed to be beyond its control, and contained something that instilled fear in it.
As Yang Hong was curious, a sharp, sinister voice came from that world.
"Wuxiang Zhaoxuan, you scoundrel, I, Ke Honggu, have returned. Come out and face your death!"
"Ke Honggu? Such a familiar name, I think I've heard it before."
Whether he had heard of it or not, Yang Hong knew the inner demon's enemy had arrived.
He quickly concealed his aura and adjusted the three completed Yin-Yang Two Forms Spirit Transformation Arrays into a Heaven-Earth-Human Three Talents Stealth Array, minimizing the array's and everything within it to the lowest possible level.
Crack, crack, crack.
The entire secret realm trembled and shook amidst cracking sounds; simultaneously, the spatial rift in the sky widened to a hundred li, and a massive continent, also a hundred li wide, squeezed in directly.
The merged world was unexpectedly small, only a hundred li wide.
However, this world was filled with gloomy ghost qi, not dark demonic qi.
Rumble, rumble~
As this hundred-li wide world crossed the洪洞秘境 (Hongtong Secret Realm) world, it fiercely slammed down towards a location deep within the secret realm.
"Ke Honggu, you lunatic, let's make peace, peace! I will give you control of the entire secret realm."
The inner demon's voice came from far away.
It turned out that its true body had never been under the启灵树林 (Qi Ling Tree Forest); that was merely a branch, a deception.
And Ke Honggu, who controlled this other secret realm, seemed to be no weaker, immediately knowing the inner demon's actual location.
"Wuxiang Zhaoxuan, your Wuxiang Heavenly Demon clan, you are all liars from beginning to end. This demon will not be fooled again. You die once first."
The sinister voice was full of rage, and heavy blows could be heard from afar.
Seeing this scene, a playful smile curved Yang Hong's lips.
This inner demon was indeed a liar.
Earlier, the inner demon said it would send him out of the secret realm, which was true, but the place it would send him to was Ke Honggu's demonic world. Once he went there, he would likely face certain death.
Even if Yang Hong survived, he could also cause trouble for Ke Honggu, achieving some of its objectives.
At worst, it would seal Yang Hong into that space.
However, the inner demon had not expected Yang Hong to be so audacious, directly blowing open the spatial rift and revealing that secret realm.
"Hehe~ Let you two dogs fight first, I'll upgrade the Immortal Thunder Bamboo."
