A magical beast comparable to the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage was annihilated in such a short time.
Zhang Ling's expression turned somewhat gloomy as he stared solemnly at the gray-blue cloud. What kind of restriction was this that was so powerful, not only suppressing cultivation but also easily killing such a magical beast?
If he were in the position of the Flood Dragon, his chances of survival wouldn't be high either.
After killing the Flood Dragon, the giant elephant formed from the cloud roared to the sky, but instead of a roar, it emitted a vague Sanskrit sound.
Then it gradually became illusory, began to collapse, and turned back into clouds, gradually becoming thinner, merging with the myriad rays of light in the sky and dissipating.
The chains formed by the descending rays of light also did the same, turning into specks of spiritual light and dissipating, as if nothing had happened.
Only a ruin was left in place, looking somewhat desolate and lonely.
After a dozen or so breaths of silence, a black cloud flew out from a nearby low mountain, drifting towards the Flood Dragon that had been cut into several pieces.
Strange squeaking sounds came from within, and there was a dense swarm of purple-striped bats in the black cloud. These bats had unusually large heads, like fleshy balls, with blood-red eyes on them.
And unlike ordinary creatures that have a pair of eyes, they seemed to have no rules. Some bats had several pairs of eyes, looking extremely terrifying. Some bats relied on their blood-red single eye, emitting dazzling blood light.
Flying in the sky, this group of bat magical beasts was also irradiated by the rays of light.
When the third and fourth-tier bats were illuminated by the rays of light, their bodies emitted green smoke, and they were greatly affected, constantly making鸣叫 sounds. Those with lower strength fell directly from the sky, suffering many casualties.
Only three huge bats were covered in demonic energy, turning into black wind, able to resist somewhat. They rushed towards the Flood Dragon's corpse at extreme speed, obviously attracted by the flesh and blood of the eighth-tier Flood Dragon.
These three bats were all high-level magical beasts, and the leader was even at the seventh-tier, with a pair of fleshy wings more than twenty feet wide, and in the blink of an eye, they flew to the side of the Flood Dragon's shattered head, and a pair of sharp claws directly grabbed towards the Flood Dragon's head, obviously wanting to devour the Flood Dragon's magic crystal.
The eighth-tier magical beast's magic crystal was extremely attractive to this group of bat magical beasts. Devouring an eighth-tier magic crystal could allow them to advance into a new eighth-tier magical beast.
This kind of temptation was no less than the temptation of a Foundation Establishment Pill for a Core Formation cultivator.
At the same time, a splashing sound of water rang out from the other side, and two high-level magical beasts also leaped out from the pool where the Flood Dragon had been staying.
A scarlet strange fish opened its mouth and sprayed out a cloud of blue mist, wrapping itself, and rushed over quickly. A black-skinned crocodile also quickly created a wave of water, swimming over, riding the waves.
Their goal was also the Flood Dragon's flesh and blood and magic crystal.
However, these high-level magical beasts were destined to fail, because a yellow light fell next to the Flood Dragon's remains first, and when the yellow light dispersed, a figure appeared, it was Zhang Ling.
He expressionlessly flicked his hand, and seven flying swords shot out, turning into a sword light. The several high-level magical beasts that rushed over were blocked.
Although Zhang Ling's strength was suppressed, and he could only exert two or thirty percent of his strength. But dealing with a few high-level magical beasts was more than enough.
In the blink of an eye, five high-level magical beasts were killed. The group of low-level bats were even more frightened and fled in all directions.
But at the same time as he made his move, the rays of light in the sky above his head made a roaring sound, and the brightness of the entire rays of light suddenly became three points stronger, and cyan-gray light spots sprinkled down, turning into a faint cyan-gray cloud.
This scene naturally attracted Zhang Ling's attention, and seeing the cyan-gray cloud, he was startled. Just now, this cloud killed the Flood Dragon, and now it appeared again, and the target seemed to have changed to him.
This was not good.
Zhang Ling quickly waved his hand, and a spiritual light rolled on the ground, and quickly collected the Flood Dragon's corpse. With a movement of his body, he planned to quickly escape this area.
At this time, a voice came from afar. "Suppress your cultivation, do not release Nascent Soul aura."
Hearing this voice, Zhang Ling involuntarily followed the instructions of the voice, and quickly restrained his own spiritual power. The seven flying swords were also recalled at the same time.
As the aura converged, the cyan cloud in the sky seemed to have lost its target, slowly rolled a few times, and then collapsed.
Zhang Ling turned his gaze to the direction from which the sound came, the sound was none other than Blue Sparrow's childish voice. There was a black light approaching quickly, the Black Tortoise had arrived.
"You seem to have seen the mystery of the rays of light, is there a way to remove the cultivation suppression." Without the danger, Zhang Ling breathed a sigh of relief and asked.
"Hmph, don't even think about it. I said long ago that this spiritual light does not suppress cultivators, but the demonic energy in this area. Your cultivation is suppressed, just some incidental restrictions.
How could such a mysterious restriction be easily broken. Any Nascent Soul cultivator will be like this here, on the contrary, as long as you don't show strength above the Nascent Soul, your actions will not be greatly restricted. You should quickly find a way to leave this area."
Zhang Ling frowned, knowing that this was the truth, sighed, and cursed his bad luck. With a large degree of cultivation suppression, anyone would feel uncomfortable.
However, the current situation is indeed as Blue Sparrow said. As long as he doesn't show Nascent Soul strength, there is not much hindrance.
At this moment, irradiated in the rays of light, Zhang Ling restrained his own strength to the late stage of Core Formation, and the feeling of suppression on his body did weaken a lot.
He flicked his fingers and shot out several spiritual lights, pulling over a high-level magical beast that he had just killed. After putting it into the storage bag, Zhang Ling and Black Tortoise identified a direction and quickly left the spot.
The most urgent task now is to leave this area first.
……
In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.
Zhang Ling was flying low in the dense forest, with the Black Tortoise following beside him. But his face turned gloomy.
Although he couldn't use his full strength, his speed was not slow, and he had flown at least a thousand miles in half an hour, but he still hadn't escaped the rays of light above his head.
The rays of light in the sky seemed to cover the entire space, as if the original sky was like this. This place was even bigger than he thought, the rays of light covering such a wide area were truly terrifying.
He didn't encounter too much danger along the way, except for hunting two or three more high-level magical beasts, naturally there was not much harvest.
"Your luck is not bad, you can still pick up an eighth-tier magic crystal, this magic crystal is worth ten of your magic crystals. Collect thirty more magic crystals and it will be about enough." Blue Sparrow's playful laughter came from his ear.
Blue Sparrow landed on Black Tortoise's shoulder, controlling the blue feather to absorb a fist-sized black magic crystal.
The demonic energy on this magic crystal was extremely rich, it was the Flood Dragon's magic crystal. The eighth-tier magic crystal was priceless, not comparable to ten ordinary magic crystals.
Zhang Ling just nodded slightly, without haggling. This magic crystal was originally picked up for nothing, if he cultivated demonic techniques, he might haggle and keep it for himself.
Now his mind was not on this, paying attention to the nearby situation at all times, preventing other dangers.
Flying in one direction, this area was said to be a giant mountain, but it had mountains, rivers, and canyons and other landforms, more like a not small mountain range.
The sky was the rays of light suppressing cultivation, and the ground was a mist of demonic spiritual energy, this kind of area was definitely not an ordinary place, he had to be vigilant at all times.
In this kind of place, divine sense may not be useful either. Zhang Ling's eyes flashed with yellow light, and he also cooperated with the Spirit Eye Technique to enhance his eyesight, paying attention to the surroundings at all times.
Not long after, crossing a canyon, seeing a wide stream of water, Zhang Ling's speed increased a little, planning to fly over quickly.
Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes and stopped his escape light, changed direction, and flew along the stream to the right for a distance, then stopped, coming to the bottom of a small mountain.
This was a hundred-foot-high low mountain, not tall, and there was a ruin below the mountain, it seemed that this place was a building complex.
This was not the reason why Zhang Ling stopped, like this kind of ruin, he had encountered several along the way. He also roughly explored it, without any harvest.
He had guessed that this was an ancient cultivator ruin, and there was nothing strange about having this kind of ruin.
At this moment, he suddenly stopped because the ruin at the foot of the mountain was slightly different from the several places he had encountered before, there was a strange spiritual light pillar in the ruin, soaring into the sky, connecting heaven and earth, obviously not ordinary, it was necessary to check it out.
Approaching the ruin, Zhang Ling saw the spiritual light pillar clearly, it was a twenty-foot-wide spiritual light pillar, built in the southeast corner of the ruin, the whole body emitting a layer of seven-colored spiritual light, covered with dense runes, it looked like a formation light pillar.
Approaching the light pillar a hundred feet away, Zhang Ling trembled, and the escape light became unstable, sensing a terrifying spiritual pressure coming from near the light pillar.
The closer he got, the stronger the spiritual pressure, he had to land on a nearby rock, watching the light pillar from afar. Looking closely, there seemed to be a huge figure in the light pillar.
The figure stepped on a lotus stone platform, with his hands clasped together, his face peaceful, and his head bald, it was actually a monk Buddha statue.
Zhang Ling gave a light sigh. "Could it be a Buddhist formation." He became a little interested, wanting to step forward a few steps to observe carefully.
Although there were no Buddhist cultivators in the Northern Plains cultivation world and the Liuyun Sea, in ancient times, before the invasion of the Ancient Demon Realm, there were many Buddhist cultivators on the complete continent.
Buddhism was also the most restrained demonic cultivators, with many powerful supernatural powers.
"I advise you not to go any further." Blue Sparrow's voice sounded again, with a few warnings.
"Oh, what did you find."
Blue Sparrow glanced at Zhang Ling. "Hehe, look at what's different about the lotus platform."
"Lotus Platform" Zhang Ling turned his gaze and looked at the lotus platform under the monk Buddha statue.
The lotus platform emitted white light as a whole, with twelve lotus petals, carved extremely exquisitely, it seemed to be carved from a piece of beautiful jade.
Looking closely, there were also densely packed small characters carved on it, it seemed to be scriptures, emitting seven-colored spiritual light. When divine sense touched it, it was bounced away all at once. It was definitely not an ordinary object.
Somewhat incompatible with the overall stone statue was that the bottom inch area of the lotus platform was jet black, and a layer of black mist was lingering at the bottom, it was a pure demonic energy.
It seemed that this Buddha statue was standing here to suppress the demonic energy below.
"Could it be a Demon Suppressing Stone Statue."
Zhang Ling whispered, the so-called Demon Suppressing Stone Statue, was actually the same kind of thing as the Spirit Sealing Pillar and the Demon Sealing Stone. It was often used to suppress evil spirits, demons and other spiritual bodies that were difficult to kill.
After pondering for a moment, he suddenly raised his hand, and a sword light shot towards the Buddha statue in the spiritual light, but the sword light just flew out more than twenty feet away, and it directly dissipated.
Zhang Ling's face sank, although it was just a sword light, it also roughly tested that there must be danger in approaching that side again. Looking around, he also found that this ruin was obviously different from the several ruins he had passed by just now.
The other ruins had traces of artificial turning, and some demonic beasts passed by. Obviously, cultivators had entered this place for a period of time.
But here, especially the hundred-foot area near the light pillar, thick dust had accumulated on the ground. He couldn't find any other traces. This was unusual.
If cultivators had been here, the light pillar was so obvious, logically speaking, there must be many traces nearby. Since he couldn't find any traces, it meant that few cultivators and demonic beasts came near the light pillar.
The demonic beasts were okay, fearing the suppressing power of the light pillar. But cultivators not coming nearby could only mean that they also knew that the light pillar was somewhat mysterious, or there was danger.
After thinking about it, it was better not to take the risk.
Zhang Ling shook his head and retreated, continuing to move forward in the direction he had just come from, looking for a way out. Not long after, he crossed the river next to him and arrived on the other side.
The other side was a strange dense forest, growing some black-gray plants. These plants were very strange, mostly emitting demonic energy, Zhang Ling had never seen them in other places.
Entering it, he could sense that the demonic energy was a few points richer than other areas. The sky was still full of rays of light, but it seemed that the suppressing effect of the rays of light was weakened by the obstruction of the dense forest.
After traveling in the forest for a distance, Zhang Ling stopped again. Stopping next to a black strange tree.
This was a giant tree with a diameter of several feet, more than thirty feet high, with many purple-brown vines hanging on it, and when he touched it lightly, the vines turned into dust.
There were many cracks on the trunk of the strange tree, flashing purple light, Zhang Ling was attracted by the light and stopped.
A sword light flashed past, planing open the trunk, and he saw the light inside clearly, it was a section of hexagonal crystal stone as thick as an arm and a foot long.
"Eh, Intermediate Magic Stone."
Before Zhang Ling could see what kind of crystal this was, Blue Sparrow laughed, and a golden light shot out from the wings, directly pulling out the diamond-shaped crystal stone in the trunk.
"Magic Stone, so this is the Magic Stone."
Hearing Blue Sparrow call out the words Magic Stone, Zhang Ling immediately knew the origin of this thing.
The so-called Magic Stone, like spirit stones. It is a spirit mine nurtured by the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. Moreover, Magic Stones are more precious than spirit stones, after all, there are originally few places in the human world that can nurture Magic Stones.
Being able to nurture Magic Stones is still because the ancient demons once invaded this place, changing the heaven and earth spiritual energy of some areas, so it is possible to nurture Magic Stones.
