Chapter 290 – Sealing of the Underground Demon God

Xing Jiangmu followed Su Yun cautiously, with Fei Niao Tianfeng behind him. Because he was afraid of being ignited by the calamity fire, he kept pushing forward, wishing to bury himself in the feathers.

"Why does the big bird always bully me?" Xing Jiangmu said sadly and angrily.

Su Yun tried to activate the God King Scepter to repel the calamity fire around him and catch up with the calamity gray God King.

"Su Shizi, perhaps for them, the spiritual energy of our world is different from theirs. They cannot live in the spiritual energy of our world," Ying Ying observed the paradise of the calamity gray monsters and looked at the laboring calamity gray monster women and children, whispering, "They can only live in the spiritual energy of their own world. In the previous world, when it was destroyed, the spiritual energy of that world settled and turned into calamity gray. However, the calamity gray of the previous world can only be restored to the spiritual energy of that world when ignited by the calamity fire. Only when their world is filled with spiritual energy can they survive."

Su Yun looked around and nodded in agreement. Ying Ying's speculation was highly reasonable.

In order to maintain this paradise, the calamity gray God King transformed his cultivation into calamity fire, turning himself into calamity gray and igniting it with calamity fire, transforming himself into spiritual energy of the world to ensure the survival and reproduction of the last calamity gray monsters.

However, Boshan City fell into calamity fire during the Pan Yang Rebellion two hundred years ago and became a burning calamity gray city. In the two hundred years, the calamity gray here burned to ashes. Su Yun suspected that the calamity gray monster corpses he saw on his journey were sacrifices made by themselves, igniting themselves as calamity gray to provide a place for other clan members to survive.

As time went on, more and more calamity gray monsters sacrificed themselves, so there were fewer and fewer calamity gray monsters in Boshan City.

In the end, it would be the calamity gray God King's turn to sacrifice himself and maintain the last paradise.

When the calamity gray God King exhausted his last bit of power, the calamity gray monsters in this paradise would probably become extinct.

And their extinction was inevitable!

"Why did the previous world become extinct? Will our world also fall into the same situation?" Su Yun thought of the calamity gray disease that pervaded overseas and felt a little uneasy. Could the calamity gray disease be the cause of the destruction of the previous world?

The calamity gray God King in front led them to a huge temple. Su Yun looked around and saw that the murals on the temple walls in the calamity fire were distorted.

Those murals recorded the events of the previous world and should belong to the major events of the calamity gray monster world.

While following the calamity gray God King, Su Yun hurriedly looked around.

The life of the calamity gray monsters was completely different from that of the present people. They followed a path of worshipping gods in everything, whether it was marriage, birth, old age, sickness, death, farming, herding, or breeding. Regardless of the size of the matter, they all had to worship the gods.

Unlike the present era, the gods of the calamity gray monsters were selected. The most outstanding members of the calamity gray monster race were selected as gods.

The calamity gray monsters offered sacrifices to the gods, the spiritual and intelligent girls, and the beasts, making the selected clan members increasingly powerful, thus protecting them.

"The calamity gray God King in front should have been selected from their clan members. No wonder he is willing to sacrifice himself to protect his clan members," Su Yun thought to himself.

The last mural depicted a terrifying scene like doomsday, with a burning Great Wall appearing in the sky, flames descending from the sky, igniting the spiritual energy of the world, and the struggle for survival of the calamity gray monsters in the last days!

Su Yun stopped and looked at the mural.

Tianfeng and Xing Jiangmu also stopped unconsciously, their minds shocked by the burning Great Wall in the sky, feeling inexplicably stunned, and even feeling breathless!

At this moment, the calamity gray God King turned around and roared.

Su Yun quickly followed with the God King Scepter, and Ying Ying curiously asked, "Su Shizi, can you understand what he is saying?"

"No," Su Yun honestly replied, "But he should be telling us to hurry."

They followed the calamity gray God King into the temple, where there was a passage leading directly underground.

The calamity gray God King led the way in front, his calamity fire illuminating the surroundings. On both sides of the passage, there were huge Pan Yang skeletons, standing like guards.

Because it had been too long, these Pan Yangs had no flesh and blood left, only bones!

Tianfeng followed behind, trembling all over, suddenly spread its still immature wings, and hugged Xing Jiangmu, trembling.

Xing Jiangmu struggled, but he didn't have the strength of the big bird, so he had to resign himself.

Su Yun examined these Pan Yang skeletons and saw signs of demonization on their bones. He whispered, "When the Pan Yang Rebellion broke out, this place had already become a burning calamity gray city. The calamity gray God King and his people have been stationed here for two hundred years without leaving, indicating that the Tongtian Pavilion has not investigated this place."

Ying Ying nodded.From the records of the Tongtian Pavilion about the Pan Yang Rebellion, their research on the rebellion was not deep, probably because after the rise of the New Learning, the conflict between the New Learning and the Old Learning became increasingly intense.

- At that time, the Old Learning still ruled the Western Continent.

.

After the New Learning took the lead, the worship of Yuanshuo in the West gradually dissipated, and more and more members of various Western countries in the Tongtian Pavilion began to demand more power.

Yuanshuo and the West fought for power and profit, which led to their incomplete research on the Pan Yang Rebellion.

In front, the King of Ashes suddenly changed his face and said a few words of unknown meaning, then turned and left in a hurry. Su Yun and the others did not dare to stop him and could only let him go.

"Although the King of Ashes is already very weak, he is still a very powerful existence. He left in such a hurry, something might have happened outside."

Su Yun had a sense of foreboding in his heart. He held the staff, dispersed the fire, and continued to walk down the passage.

In the passage, there were more and more Pan Yang bones. Some of the giant Pan Yang claws were grabbing the almost vertical ground, obviously still trying to climb out before they died!

They followed these bones all the way down and walked for about four or five miles, finally arriving at a city called the City of Ashes located underground.

This City of Ashes had already been emptied, with no ashes left inside, only some ancient buildings from the previous world.

These buildings were actually seals. The powerhouses of the previous world sealed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth together with the creatures they protected in these buildings, in order to avoid disasters.

"Lord Shao Shi, that building has a different architectural style from the City of Ashes!"

Xing Jiangmu, because he was held in the arms of Tianfeng, stood higher and discovered something. He quickly said, "That building has the architectural style of the ancient Yuanshuo period!"

Su Yun quickly looked over and his view was blocked by other buildings. So he activated the Winged Dragon's Heavenly Eye and indeed saw the building that Xing Jiangmu mentioned.

That building was magnificent, with a square layout, courtyards, corridors, and grand palaces.

There were also some Pan Yang bones there. Su Yun used the Winged Dragon's Heavenly Eye to carefully inspect them and traced the source from the first Pan Yang bone. Finally, he saw the last Pan Yang bone in front of a grand palace!

That grand palace was made of pure Qinghong, and there were huge chains passing through the pillars under the eaves. There were platforms in front, behind, left, and right of the palace, and there were layers of platforms below, totaling nine layers, with various rune marks engraved on them!

And those chains were also made of pure Qinghong, without any rust after countless years.

The other end of these chains was inserted into various ancient buildings around the grand palace!

With the help of the Winged Dragon's Heavenly Eye, Ying Ying carefully examined it and whispered, "Su Scholar, this doesn't look good. This kind of scale seems to be sealing a demon god. Look at the rune marks on the altar, are they somewhat similar to the rune marks on your Rune Wall..."

Su Yun's heart trembled, and he did see this point as well.

That Qinghong grand palace was located on top of the nine-layered altar. The rune marks carved on the altar did have some similarities with the rune marks on his Rune Wall, but they were more primitive.

It should be because the Daoist techniques and supernatural powers used during the sealing did not reach the current level, so they appeared somewhat rough.

"Could the demonized Pan Yang come from here?"

Su Yun calmed down and walked towards the grand palace. He silently thought, "Leaving aside everything else, there is enough Qinghong gold here to refine three or four spiritual weapons!"

They arrived at the ancient building complex. Su Yun did not rush to the sealed grand palace, but came to a building directly facing the grand palace.

It was a glass tower, with the tower gate closed, and thick chains passing through the holes between the two doors.

Su Yun exerted his strength and with a creak, pushed one of the doors open. Suddenly, he exclaimed, his hair standing on end from fright. Ying Ying, who was sitting on his shoulder, was also scared and screamed. She turned into a book with a loud bang, tightly closing its pages and not daring to move.

Tianfeng, holding Xing Jiangmu, fell straight down and fainted.

Su Yun regained his composure and saw a completely rotten Pan Yang bone in front of the door. It was truly terrifying.

"Where did these Pan Yang come from?" He patted his chest, comforting his pounding heart, and whispered.

On his shoulder, the cover of the book suddenly revealed two eyes, rolling around. Sensing that there was no danger, it turned into the young girl Ying Ying with a bang, jumping in the air and slowly landing, angrily saying, "Who put this Pan Yang corpse behind the door!"

Tianfeng secretly opened her eyes a crack and glanced at the Pan Yang bone. She quickly got up, and Xing Jiangmu was already gasping for breath under her pressure.

Su Yun walked past the Pan Yang bone, his body not even reaching the ankle of the Pan Yang. Although Tianfeng was quite large, she only reached the thigh bone of the Pan Yang.They stepped into the tower, their scalps tingling with unease. All around them were the skeletal remains of the Pan Sheep!

Besides the bones, there were also huge glass jars, sealed tightly. Inside them were the brains, eyes, hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and kidneys of the Pan Sheep, all soaked in a strange liquid!

They even saw a Pan Sheep's head in one of the jars, still alive. Its eyes were open, eerily watching them, following their movements.

Even Su Yun, who was usually brave, felt a chill run down his spine. After a quick inspection, he steeled himself and headed towards the second floor.

The second floor was filled with piles of annotated objects.

Su Yun noticed a symbol of a wooden box on one of the notes. His eyes twitched, and he quickly swept all the annotated objects into his spiritual realm.

"These demonized Pan Sheep are related to the Tongtian Pavilion!" His heart pounded wildly.
