But he didn't know that at the moment the coffin exploded, in the central region of the distant demon realm, within a dark and sinister demon hall, where sight could not penetrate, two scarlet lights lit up.
After Ye Yun's seven rays of light, which signified his talent breaking through the Dao, ascended into the sky, the strange phenomenon they caused attracted the attention of demons within a radius of a thousand miles! Each of them, thinking a treasure had appeared, sped off. Fengyu Novel Network
"Holy crap, what's going on?" Ye Yun opened his eyes to see the surrounding devastation and a ground full of 'new humans' kneeling hundreds of meters away. He was instantly dumbfounded.
"Little friend, you've finally come back to your senses. If you hadn't, this old man would have to run for it first." Not far from Ye Yun, Xue Daoguang stood there, swaying precariously.
"No, I mean, why do you two old guys always make such a big fuss when you meet?" Ye Yun looked at the shattered coffin everywhere, marveling at their fiery tempers.
...
Xue Daoguang and Zhao Youqin, who had just arrived after the commotion subsided, almost spat blood seeing Ye Yun's disdainful look. They had been injured by this kid's aura, and yet he was turning the tables on them.
"Well, little friend, now is not the time to chat. The commotion from your breakthrough just now was too great, and it's estimated to attract a large number of demon lords from the surrounding area."
"Moreover, the seal on the coffin was broken just now, so that fellow Da Yan probably knows about it. We should hurry and escape!" Zhao Youqin urged everyone to flee as soon as he arrived.
"The commotion of the breakthrough was too great? You don't mean to say that I caused all this, do you?" Ye Yun looked at the two old men with a hint of bewilderment.
"If not you, then who else? It's you, kid. You just break through as you please, why make such a huge fuss?" Xue Daoguang puffed out his beard and glared at Ye Yun.
"Um, honored sirs, we've just received news that a thousand-strong demon army collecting energy crystals has appeared about a hundred miles south of us." At this moment, a middle-aged human, a native of the demon realm, walked over and said to the three of them.
"A thousand-strong army? Xiao Hei, go deal with them!" Upon hearing this, Ye Yun frowned. His divine sense frantically spread out in all directions, with no attempt to conceal it. That incredibly fierce divine sense instantly swept through the valley, causing everyone to tremble under its might.
"Divine Sense Manifests as Force!" Everyone stared at Ye Yun in a daze.
"Manifestation of Force" was a description of a spiritual consciousness realm, a pursuit of all those who cultivated their minds.
Spiritual consciousness was divided into three ranks: the first was perception, the second was force, and the third was leveraging power. Legend had it that there was an even higher level, known as the Great Mind Manifesting Body!
Ye Yun's spiritual consciousness had now reached the second rank, force! He could use his spiritual consciousness to kill enemies invisibly!
South of the valley, a thousand-strong army was flying rapidly through the air. The fifteen demon generals leading the charge each had their own thoughts, their eyes filled with greed.
"Captain Li, do you think there's really a treasure unearthed this time?" a demon asked the leader.
"Treasure? Who knows? Besides, the commotion this time is so great. We are only seventh-rank demon generals. Do you think if there were really treasures, it would be our turn?" Captain Li looked towards the valley, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable meaning.
"That's true. This time, I wonder how many of the human slaves in that valley will survive. Alas, there are so few human slaves now, and we're still rushing to meet the quotas from above every month. When can we also manifest more strength in the 'Heavenly Dao' and help us break through to the Demon King realm?"
Similarly, a demon general twirled a thick black ring on his finger, his face full of helplessness.
"We just need to complete the assigned tasks. As long as we exceed the quota, we can use the surplus to exchange for resources. One day, the fifteen of us brothers will have a place in the 'Heavenly Dao'," Captain Li said indifferently.
However, before he could finish speaking, the entire air suddenly seemed to become oppressive. Then, his vision suddenly went black, and he plunged into endless darkness. His subordinates were left frozen in place, not knowing what to do.
Damn it! This mental power is amazing, but I can't take it after killing just a dozen people. This is too damn troublesome.
Ye Yun cursed inwardly and opened his eyes, enduring the needle-like pain in his head.
"Sword, emerge!"
Whoosh...
Guided by Ye Yun's true qi, the long sword behind his back circled around him, like a lively and joyful spirit, playfully nudging him.
"Sword Control Technique!"
The sword shot out like a rainbow, enveloped by an incredibly powerful true essence. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Holy crap! Sword Control Technique?!" At this, Xue Daoguang and Zhao Youqin were no longer calm!
As members of the Daoist sect, how could they not recognize the renowned 'Sword Control Technique'?
Legend had it that the Sword Control Technique was the sect-protecting art of the Shu Mountain Dao Sect. When cultivated to its peak, it could control enemies from a thousand miles away! However, this skill was lost three thousand years ago, so information about the 'Sword Control Technique' could only be found in ancient texts.
The long sword broke through the air and instantly appeared ninety miles away. Under the control of Ye Yun's divine sense and true essence, a few sixth-rank demons were dispatched as easily as mowing grass.
"The skill is good, but it consumes quite a bit of true essence! And the requirement for spiritual consciousness is not low either." Ye Yun's divine sense guided the sword's direction, controlling the output of true essence. At a distance of ninety miles, the consumption of true essence was less than one ten-thousandth of Ye Yun's own, but considering Ye Yun's terrifying true essence, it was already formidable. Moreover, as time passed, the rate of true essence consumption became even more terrifying.
And this was only one sword. If there were ten, a hundred, or even thousands of long swords? Ye Yun dared not imagine the immense true essence required.
Using Sword Control Technique in reality for the first time, Ye Yun realized the difference between using this skill in reality and in the game.
"Hei Yi, a team of a hundred demon soldiers has appeared two hundred miles to the southwest. I'll leave it to you to handle!" Suddenly, a team appeared in Ye Yun's divine sense. Ye Yun turned and called to Hei Yi, who was slowly approaching.
"Yes, Master." A black shadow flashed. At this moment, Hei Yi no longer concealed his whereabouts and flew directly over the valley.
"No, little friend, can you tell me where you learned this Sword Control Technique? You're not somehow related to the ancient Shu Mountain Dao Sect, are you?" Xue Daoguang's focus was no longer on the demons, but on the 'Sword Control Technique'.
"I say, senior, the demons are heading this way. You are a spiritual body and not afraid, but your disciples and grandchildren are afraid." Sometimes, Ye Yun couldn't help but want to punch this old man.
