Wings of holy light fluttered, and Ji Jiayu and the others soared into the air.

Immediately, a dark bat demon, like a dark cloud, flew into the roaring and spinning tornado of demonic energy. "Puff!"

Clusters of demonic energy wrapped in black mist gushed out, and Ji Jiayu and the others responded by using defensive sacred techniques.

"Shield of Justice!"

"Immortal Battle Armor!"

Ji Jiayu instantly cast the sixth-level, most difficult sacred technique, the Justice Shield, and Nie Lanxi instantly cast the eighth-level, ordinary sacred technique, the Immortal Battle Armor.

Seeing with their own eyes the surge of divine power and the sacred arts, Yang Jiong'er and the other divine guards were shocked. Although they had a certain understanding of Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi's strength, they still couldn't help but be shocked when they saw them perform sacred magic with their own eyes.

After all, Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanhu were only teenagers! The gap was simply too vast!

Although they were shocked, due to their preparation, Yang Jiong'er and the others quickly adjusted their movements. They all used defensive sacred techniques, then used offensive sacred techniques with Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi.

The four priests activated their Sacred Emblems. Compared to the priests, they reacted relatively quickly.

"Ah! Yes! Ah..."

Under the illumination of the sacred light, screams came and went, and pieces of the dark bat demon were destroyed. Everyone quickly entered the demonic energy tornado.

After entering, the first thing Ji Jiayu did was sense the direction of the black stone door. Since he had already seen the black stone door and was familiar with its aura, he found it very easily.

The black stone door in the demonic energy tornado also seemed to sense Ji Jiayu's spiritual power, so it took the initiative to rise and open its red vertical pupil.

When Yang Jiong'er and the others saw the red vertical pupil, the hairs on their bodies stood on end, and fear spread rapidly through their hearts.

Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi didn't react, but their red vertical pupils were filled with curiosity, greed, fear, doubt...

"We won't trap it this time to see if it escapes." Ji Jiayu turned to Nie Lanxi and said, "I feel like it most likely wasn't evading the Sacred Light Pearl, but was blinded by greed."

"That should be it," Nie Lanxi said.

"Then, let's begin." Ji Jiayu raised his chin towards Yang Jiong'er and the others and said, "Let's do our best to attack the Dark Bat Demon and force open this black stone door."

"Okay."

Yang Jiong'er and the others were ready to go. "Fighting spirit!"

"Hymn of Revelation!"

"Twilight of Judgment!"

"Hammer of Annihilation!"

Yang Jiong'er and the others quickly performed offensive sacred techniques, and at the same time, they couldn't help but be slightly shocked. Previously, a group of squad members who had entered the Demonic Energy Tornado had said that in areas where demonic energy was stirred, their speed of mobilizing their divine power would be slowed by at least thirty percent, and the time to successfully cast a sacred spell would more than double, and there was even a risk of failure. But Yang Jiong'er and the others didn't feel this way.

This must be the benefit of the Sacred Pearl, right? They thought so in their hearts, and after glancing at Ji Jiayu, they sent offensive sacred techniques in front of them.

Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi unleashed various offensive sacred techniques, shattering one after another of the dark bat demon's black stone doors, gradually revealing themselves.

This was the second black stone door Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi had seen, and it appeared darker than the first, but slightly larger.

Ji Jiayu analyzed the differences between the two demonic energy tornadoes and concluded that "the demonic energy tornado in front of him was larger than the previous one."

Were black stone gates also strong and weak? Their size would also affect the size and scope of the Demonic Energy Tornado? Did their own size and strength affect their own abilities?

Speaking of which, he had dealt with them too quickly last time, and he hadn't been able to properly sense the Black Rock Sect's abilities, so he had to get a better feel for them this time.

"Let's try attacking them, starting with a weaker sacred technique," Ji Jiayu said to Yang Jiong'er and the others. After saying that, he turned to look at Nie Lanxi again. "Lanxi, you're in charge of eliminating the Black Bat Demon, is that okay?"

"Yes." Nie Lanxi's voice fell, and he began to construct a sacred technique. It was the Eighth-Order Sacred Technique: Sacred Light of the Scorching Sun.

A beam of light flew from the sky, piercing through the demonic energy tornado, landing on Nie Lanxi's body, and then instantly turning into liquid, spreading forward. Invisible flames rose, igniting countless black bat demons, giving Ji Jiayu, Yang Jiong'er, and the others a chance to confront the black stone gate.

In an instant, one by one, sacred arts roared and flew towards the black stone gate. The red vertical pupil on the black stone door flickered slightly, and a beam of red light pierced through the air like a vertical blade, instantly cutting the sacred arts sent out by Ji Jiayu and the nine others in half, and then flew straight towards Ji Jiayu.

Seeing the red light about to strike Ji Jiayu, the red vertical pupil showed anticipation.

Ji Jiayu immediately used his spiritual power to urge the Sacred Yao Pearl and open his Yao form. Immediately after, he activated his skin. The defensive sacred patterns on his bones suddenly bloomed with a bright golden light throughout his body.

This wasn't the end; Ji Jiayu cast six sacred light guards on himself. "Dang!"

The red light slashed at Ji Jiayu, emitting the sound of gold and iron clashing, and sparks flew, terrifying.

"This light possesses the power of a peak seventh-rank demon," Ji Jiayu said in a clear voice.

After enduring the blow of a peak seventh-rank demon secret technique, Ji Jiayu appeared to be a normal person, which shocked Yang Jiong'er and the others.

Soon, they discovered that the red vertical pupils showed excitement, and in the next second, seven or eight red lights shot out instantly, causing everyone's expressions to freeze.

Nie Lanxi didn't even think about it, casting an eighth-rank defensive sacred technique in front of Ji Jiayu to protect the holy light. As for Yang Jiong'er and the others, Nie Lanxi didn't care.

He didn't care, because the attack from the red vertical pupils was aimed solely at Ji Jiayu. "Boom! Rumble! Rumble!"

The red light struck the Light of Shelter, shattered, and the fragments of light were absorbed into the Light of Shelter, quickly making the Light of Shelter resemble a hedgehog. The two forces consumed each other and eventually disappeared into invisibility.

"It has eighth-order strength," Ji Jiayu assessed, "This is still when it's using most of its power to maintain the demonic energy tornado. Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't have peak ninth-order or even tenth-order strength? Is a demon so powerful?"

Ji Jiayu couldn't help but be secretly shocked. Next, he continued to test the other abilities of the Black Stone Gate. The Black Stone Gate was indeed attracted by the Holy Radiance Orb. Even if its demonic energy was consumed bit by bit, it might cause it to dissipate, but it still chose not to leave!
