Chapter 196 The road to self-affirmation is full of thorns
Upon hearing this, Master Yan Yang frowned slightly, a hint of doubt arose in his heart, and he waited for Lei Yi's next words.
"Senior, do you know why I want to seize the magic crystal?" Lei Yi's tone was calm, but it seemed to contain tremendous power that could not be ignored.
"Hmph, you are willing to fall into the devil's way for the sake of power, so why are you pretending to be so hypocritical now?" The Blood Demon Ancestor sneered. He didn't want to give Lei Yi any chance to defend himself.
Lei Yi ignored the Blood Demon Ancestor's sarcasm. He stared at Master Yan Yang with a burning gaze and said word by word, "I seized the magic crystal not for my own power, but to prevent the demons from using it to bring disaster to the world!"
Everyone was shocked when these words came out. Even Dongfang Liuli, who had always been suspicious of Lei Yi, showed a look of shock.
Zhenren Yan Yang looked at Lei Yi with sharp eyes, trying to find any flaws on his face. However, he was disappointed. Lei Yi's eyes were clear and firm, without a trace of falsehood.
"What a joke! Who do you think you are? Why do you think you can stop us?" The Blood Demon Ancestor laughed in anger. He had lived for hundreds of years and had never seen such an arrogant kid.
"I am the real owner of the magic crystal!" Lei Yi suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with brilliance, and a powerful aura burst out from his body, shocking everyone around.
"Arrogant!" The Blood Demon Ancestor roared, unable to suppress the murderous intent in his heart any longer. He flashed and turned into a blood-red lightning, rushing straight towards Lei Yi.
"Ancestor, be careful, there's a trap!" Seeing this, the demons nearby spoke out to warn him, but it was too late.
"Want to stop me? Wishful thinking!" The Blood Demon Ancestor sneered, and a flash of blood appeared in his hand. A blood-colored long sword appeared in his hand, and with a fierce murderous aura, he chopped down at Lei Yi's head.
"Lei Lang, be careful!" Dongfang Liuli exclaimed and wanted to go forward to help, but was stopped by Master Yan Yang.
"Don't worry, he can still hold on." Master Yan Yang said lightly, but his eyes were fixed on Lei Yi, wanting to see what trump card he had.
Facing the attack of the Blood Demon Ancestor, Lei Yi remained calm. He flipped his right hand and a black crystal appeared in his hand. It was the magic crystal that had caused countless disputes.
"What do you want to do?" A bad premonition suddenly arose in the heart of the Blood Demon Ancestor. He wanted to withdraw his attack, but it was too late.
A cold smile curled up the corner of Lei Yi's mouth, and the magic crystal in his hand shone brightly... In Lei Yi's hand, the magic crystal emitted a dazzling black light, like a miniature black sun. Surging energy waves surged from it, forcing the Blood Demon Ancestor back several steps. The Blood Demon Ancestor's face changed drastically, and he felt a powerful repulsive force coming from the magic crystal, preventing him from approaching.
"How is this possible?!" The Blood Demon Ancestor exclaimed in disbelief. The magic crystal he had been searching for for many years actually burst out with such powerful power in Lei Yi's hands.
"I've said before, I'm the only true master of the magic crystal." Lei Yi's voice seemed majestic and inviolable against the backdrop of the magic crystal's light. "The power of the magic crystal isn't for killing, but for protecting!"
Before he finished speaking, Lei Yi raised the magic crystal high, and a black light instantly enveloped the entire valley. Under the black light, the raging demonic energy gradually subsided, as if submitting to a king. Even the poisonous wolf, previously controlled by the Blood Demon Ancestor, ceased its attack and paced the ground restlessly, emitting low whimpers.
"See? This is the true power of the magic crystal!" Lei Yi turned to Master Yan Yang, his eyes burning. "I can suppress the demonic energy and prevent the demons from using the magic crystal to wreak havoc on the world!"
However, how could the Blood Demon Ancestor give up? His eyes were bloodshot as he frantically mobilized his demonic energy, attempting to regain control of the poisonous wolf. The irritated wolf let out a deafening roar and charged at Lei Yi recklessly, its sharp claws and fangs carrying a sharp whistle that tore through the air.
"Lei Lang!" Dongfang Liuli exclaimed and wanted to step forward worriedly.
"You stand back!" Lei Yi shouted, protecting Dongfang Liuli behind him. The black light of the magic crystal in his hand became stronger, forming a barrier to block the attack of the poisonous wolf.
boom!
A violent crash resounded, and Lei Yi was knocked back several steps by the powerful impact, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. To protect Dongfang Liuli, he had endured the poisonous wolf's attack.
"Lei Lang, how are you?" Dongfang Liuli asked anxiously, her eyes full of heartache.
Lei Yi shook his head, indicating that he was fine, but his eyes were fixed on the Blood Demon Ancestor not far away. He said in a deep voice: "If you insist on not changing your ways, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
With that, Lei Yi, holding the magic crystal in his hand, walked towards the Blood Demon Ancestor step by step. Every step seemed to step on everyone's heart, bringing with it a suffocating sense of oppression... Zhenren Yan Yang looked at the scene before him, his heart full of mixed emotions. Lei Yi's words echoed in his mind. He stared at the magic crystal in Lei Yi's hand, his lips moved, and he said slowly: "If you can..."
Master Yan Yang watched the scene before him with mixed feelings. Lei Yi's words echoed in his mind. He stared at the magic crystal in Lei Yi's hand, his lips moving as he slowly said, "If you can use the power of the magic crystal to purify the evil spirit in this demonic abyss, then I will believe what you say is true."
Dongfang Liuli was immediately anxious upon hearing this. This Demonic Abyss was where the demonic realm and the human world met. The evil energy that had accumulated there for thousands of years was not so easy to purify. Although Lei Yi could control the magic crystal, his cultivation was still shallow. If he forced the purification, he would probably damage his foundation.
"Master, this..." She was about to plead for Lei Yi, but Lei Yi stopped her with his hand.
Lei Yi took a deep breath, looked at Master Yan Yang with a firm gaze, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I promise you."
With that, he no longer hesitated, holding the magic crystal in his hand, and walked step by step towards the center of the Demonic Abyss. With each step, the black light emitted by the magic crystal grew stronger, fighting against the swirling demonic energy around him, making a sizzling sound.
"Lei Lang..." Dongfang Liuli looked at Lei Yi's back worriedly, her heart filled with worry and uneasiness.
Lei Yi walked to the center of the Demonic Abyss, raised the Demonic Crystal high, and muttered something. As if sensing his determination, the Demonic Crystal glowed brightly, transforming into a black pillar of light that shot up into the sky, enveloping the entire Demonic Abyss.
The black light and the gray demonic energy intertwined and devoured each other, making a teeth-grinding friction sound. Lei Yi could feel that the power of the magic crystal was rapidly depleting, while the demonic energy in the Demonic Abyss seemed endless, constantly surging, trying to devour his strength.
He gritted his teeth, desperately mobilizing the spiritual energy within him, channeling the power of the magic crystal to purify the demonic energy. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his face gradually turned pale, but he showed no sign of retreating.
As time passed, the demonic energy in the Demonic Abyss gradually thinned, and a glimmer of light appeared in the once gray sky. True Man Yan Yang and Dongfang Liuli both stared at Lei Yi nervously, not daring to breathe.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
When the Blood Demon Ancestor saw that Lei Yi was actually purifying the Demon Abyss, his eyes were bloodshot and he roared to the sky: "You little beast, how dare you ruin my good deeds!"
With that, he no longer held back. Demonic energy surged through his body, transforming into a streak of black lightning, which charged towards Lei Yi with lightning speed... The black lightning, carrying a devastating force, hurtled straight towards Lei Yi. In the nick of time, Master Yan Yang dodged before Lei Yi, forming seals with his hands, and a golden curtain of light materialized.
"boom!"
Black lightning struck the light curtain, emitting a deafening explosion. The light curtain trembled violently, rippling in waves, but ultimately resisted the Blood Demon Ancestor's attack.
"Old man Yan Yang, you dare to ruin my good deeds!" The Blood Demon Ancestor roared, his figure flashed, and he attacked Lei Yi again.
"Hmph, you evil heretic, everyone must kill you!" True Man Yan Yang snorted coldly, and engaged in a fierce battle with the Blood Demon Ancestor. Both were masters of the Spiritual Transformation Stage, and the aftermath of the battle was earth-shaking, as if the entire Demonic Abyss was about to collapse.
Lei Yi was stunned by this sudden change. He didn't expect that the Blood Demon Ancestor would appear at this time, and he didn't expect that Master Yan Yang would protect him regardless of his own safety.
"Lei Lang, hurry up and purify the Demon Abyss. Leave this to us!" Dongfang Liuli shouted anxiously.
Lei Yi finally came to his senses. He knew that now was not the time to be dazed. He had to complete the purification as soon as possible, otherwise everything would be in vain.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the surging blood and qi within him, and continued to mobilize the power of the magic crystal. The black light became even more dazzling, and the demonic energy in the Demon Abyss dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, the Blood Demon Ancestor's attacks became more and more fierce. Although Master Yan Yang was very powerful, he gradually became unable to cope with it.
"puff!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out of Master Yan Yang's mouth, and the golden light curtain on his body began to flicker.
"Master!" Lei Yi was shocked when he saw this.
"Hahaha, old man Yan Yang, your time of death has come!" The Blood Demon Ancestor laughed wildly, and suddenly a blood-red long sword appeared in his hand, chopping it down towards True Man Yan Yang.
"Lei Lang, be careful!" Dongfang Liuli exclaimed, and her figure flashed, blocking Lei Yi...
