Chapter 1182: Ascending the Mountain
Although the barrier was on the verge of collapse, it would still take so ti for the demonic energy from the mountain peak to completely destroy it.
However, any breach in the barrier would an its imdiate collapse.
Just as the crack appeared, Su Jingzhen imdiately stepped forward.
The black brick in his hand glowed with an intense dark light, directly sealing the gap.
A terrifying suction force erupted from the black brick, drawing in the demonic energy that was rushing toward the breach.
Having found an outlet, the demonic energy surged toward the gap as if it were trying to break through the barrier.
However, this situation was a double-edged sword for Su Jingzhen.
The incoming demonic energy was instantly absorbed into the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, where it was seamlessly transferred to the locations of Yuan Shi and the Ming Long.
"Hmm? This demonic energy... it seems to be quite advanced. It carries a familiar aura, as if it belongs to the Lifeless Demon King!"
"The Lifeless Demon King? That's the Demon King sealed within Death Mountain!"
"Why would the Lifeless Demon King's aura appear in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss?"
The Ming Long and Yuan Shi exchanged glances, both visibly shocked. The Ming Long then seed to realize sothing, a look of joy appearing on his face.
"Could it be that the Lifeless Demon King has already defeated that guy, taken over the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, and is now coming to rescue us?"
His words startled Yuan Shi.
"Don't say that! This isn't sothing to joke about! It must be Lord Su who is bringing in the Lifeless Demon King."
Yuan Shi deliberately raised his voice when he said the latter part.
He knew that the demonic energy had been sent to their location by Su Jingzhen.
The Ming Long's foolish suggestion that Su Jingzhen had been defeated by the Lifeless Demon King was nothing short of suicidal.
Yuan Shi understood that anyone who could control the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss must be blessed with imnse fortune, most likely a Chosen One of this era.
Such a person would not die easily.
In Yuan Shi's opinion, even a sealed Demon King who had not fully awakened should not be able to harm Su Jingzhen, despite Su Jingzhen's seemingly low cultivation level.
Whether Yuan Shi and the Ming Long were truly loyal, Su Jingzhen didn't know, but their survival instincts were undoubtedly top-notch.
As soon as Yuan Shi finished speaking, Su Jingzhen's consciousness descended beside them.
"So, it truly originated from the Demon King? Absorb this demonic energy as a reward from ."
Su Jingzhen glanced at the Ming Long as he spoke, but didn't say much.
After all, these two were within the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, and no matter what sches they harbored, they couldn't cause any trouble. Su Jingzhen didn't bother to dwell on it.
The Ming Long chuckled nervously, but didn't dare to say anything more.
Su Jingzhen continued to channel his power through the black brick.
The massive demonic energy surged like a vortex, continuously pouring into the brick.
After dozens of breaths, the Netherworld Ghost Emperor, Chi Yuan Ghost Emperor, and the others behind Su Jingzhen showed expressions of astonishnt.
"Huh? That black brick in the kid's hand seems quite mysterious."
"Even with the Demon King's demonic energy crashing against it and the barrier being breached, it hasn't collapsed.
Moreover, the demonic energy inside the barrier seems to be decreasing. Look, the cracks on the barrier are starting to heal."
"Is it luck, or does this kid really have so skills?"

The eight Ghost Emperors looked at Su Jingzhen with uncertainty.
At this mont, Shuang Jiang stepped forward, positioning herself between Su Jingzhen and the Ghost Emperors, clearly on guard.
She had also realized that everything that was happening was due to the black brick in Su Jingzhen's hand. She feared that the Ghost Emperors might take desperate asures.
After another dozen breaths, all the cracks on the barrier had healed, and the demonic energy inside had been completely absorbed by Su Jingzhen's black brick.
Su Jingzhen was elated. Even after sharing half with Yuan Shi and the Ming Long, the remaining energy was still imnse.
Once the demonic energy was fully absorbed, the dark light on the black brick dimd.
Su Jingzhen turned his gaze toward the peak of Death Mountain, which now seed quiet, as if the Demon King's power had waned and not yet recovered.
"This is an opportunity. Let's go up and take a look!"
Su Jingzhen spoke with utmost seriousness as she looked at Shuang Jiang.
Although Shuang Jiang didn't know what was inside Su Jingzhen's black brick, it was clear that it had a significant restraining effect on the Starry Sky Demons. Suppressing her shock, she silently nodded.
"Do what you must. I'll do my best to protect you!"
Shuang Jiang made her promise to Su Jingzhen. At the sa ti, a line of golden text appeared in front of Su Jingzhen's eyes:
[Emotional Connection 48]
[Emotional Connection 48]
[Emotional Connection 48]
[Remaining Available Points: 26,140]
A triple hit!
After speaking, Shuang Jiang turned her gaze to the eight Ghost Emperors behind them.
"All of you, do your utmost to maintain the barrier and prevent it from collapsing!"
Without waiting for their response, she took Su Jingzhen through the breach and into the barrier, heading straight for the peak of Death Mountain.
As soon as they passed through, the breach healed itself. The Netherworld Ghost Emperor and the others were left in a state of shock. Everything had happened too quickly for them to react.
The old Ghost Emperor at the Sixth Stage made a decisive command.
"Maintain the barrier with all your might! The eight of us will stay here and buy ti for them!"
Having seen a glimr of hope, they had no reason not to give it their all.
anwhile, Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang, who were steadily making their way toward the peak of Death Mountain, were filled with tension.
"Death Mountain has beco like this... I wonder where Xuening is."
Su Jingzhen's divine consciousness spread out, scanning the surroundings as they climbed. This climb was not just about confronting the Demon King; it was also about finding Xuening.
As Su Jingzhen's divine consciousness extended, he was once again horrified.
Beneath them, the forest was filled with countless skeletons.
Every plant seed to have grown from the blood of countless lives, making it look eerily sinister.
Skeletal creatures and ghostly flas road the forest, while various spiritual plants with dark attributes flourished.
This place was undoubtedly a paradise for all ghost cultivators. However, Su Jingzhen paid no attention to any of this.
When they reached the mountainside, there was still no trace of Xuening's aura.
"Could it be that we misinterpreted the ssage she left for Dean Qin Lingshuang? Is she not on Death Mountain?"
Su Jingzhen couldn't help but feel worried.
At this point, even though Shuang Jiang's Seventh Stage Immortal Emperor Aura had cleared the way, the pressure from the mountainside upward beca overwhelming.
The oppressive force seed to surpass even the level of the Ninth Stage Immortal Emperor, making their progress increasingly difficult.
