Ten years later, the war is still raging.
The flames of war continued to shroud the four void cracks.
Spiritual powers intertwined, magic weapons collided, and the corpses of evil beasts piled up like mountains.
The surface of the ruins.
Next to the void crack, a huge dark locust nest kept wriggling.
A large number of insect eggs will be sprayed out every once in a while.
These eggs will turn into translucent young dark locusts before they fall to the ground.
Within ten breaths, their bodies will harden and their size will double, and their individual combat power will be equivalent to that of a newly-promoted out-of-body cultivator.
Such dark locusts can give birth to more than one million locusts in a mother nest in a day.
After ten years, there were 3.6 billion dark locusts.
These dark locusts are madly crashing into the formation light curtain every day.
Their only function is to reduce the power of the formation and consume its energy.
Among these dark locusts, there may be a few particularly powerful ones hidden.
Once you lose your vigilance and allow them to approach, these extremely powerful Dark Locusts in the Void Refinement Stage will self-destruct when they get close to the light curtain of the formation.
Although it can still only cause a slight ripple in the formation.
But if there are too many such disturbances, after ten years, it will be enough to make the light curtain of the formation scarred.
When Liuyun Tianjun arrived at this place, the old monk Hedao who had been sitting there slowly stood up.
This person's name is Yuanwu, a great monk of Wuxianglong Temple.
He is a fellow disciple with Yuanjue and Yuanfeng.
At this time, Yuanwu was very old, with white beard and eyebrows, and looked haggard.
But Liuyun Tianjun remembered that Yuanwu was quite plump when he was guarding this formation ten years ago, and was far from being so thin.
It is hard to imagine how much energy he has consumed during these ten years of guarding the city.
Yuan Wu smiled bitterly and said, "Liu Yun, this old monk is really exhausted. From now on, this formation will depend on you."
Liuyun Tianjun said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, leave this to me, you go and rest."
Yuan Wu shook his head. "The threat posed by the Dark Locust Nest is too great. Over the past ten years, I have personally witnessed numerous attacks by cultivators from our Immortal Alliance."
"But the best record we had was only half the nest was destroyed, and it recovered within a few months."
"As long as the Dark Locust's nest remains, our Immortal Alliance monks will suffer more casualties."
Liuyun Tianjun nodded, "In the past, Xutian Fallen Sect also had this Dark Locust Mother Nest, but at most it could only breed Dark Locusts at the Spiritualization Stage. Now it can breed Dark Locusts at the Out-of-Body Stage."
"Someone must have advanced the Dark Locust Technique to a higher level."
She paused before saying, "It should be Immortal Destroyer."
"Looking at the entire Xutian Fallen Sect, the Dark Locusts, the ancestor of the disaster, are still destroying the Imperial Valley. The Dark Locusts' chief priest, Huang Chong, is brave but not wise."
"Only Immortal Mie has profound attainments in the Dark Locust Method, and only he can deduce something like this."
Yuan Wu nodded, "This old monk feels the same way."
"Are there any other Dark Locust nests in other void rifts?"
Liuyun Tianjun shook his head, "No, there is only one nest that can breed Dark Locusts in the Out-of-Body Stage."
Yuan Wu put his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name, "Dragon Buddha above, Liuyun Tianjun, please help me find an opportunity."
"This old monk has not much time left. Even if I die, it should be on the battlefield."
"This Dark Locust Mother Nest is of immense value, no less than a cultivator in the late Hedao stage."
"If I can replace it, I will die without regrets."
After saying that, he actually laughed.
Liuyun Tianjun was stunned. "Master Yuanwu, there are other ways. There's no need to risk your life now."
Yuan Wu shook his head. "No need to say more. I've been watching here for a long time. I know everything."
"The Immortal Lord once charged into the vicinity of the Dark Locust's nest with a single sword, but was blocked by Yin Tianying."
"We have all witnessed the strength of the Immortal Lord. Even he can't do anything about it. What else can we do?"
Liuyun Tianjun couldn't help but fall silent.
Yuan Wu smiled, "This old monk has lived long enough. As long as I can contribute a little of my remaining energy to the Immortal Alliance, I will have no regrets in this life."
"Liuyun, please fight for an opportunity for this old monk."
Liuyun Tianjun was silent for a long time, "Okay."
Three days later.
Liuyun Tianjun pretended to reveal a flaw in the formation to attract Yin Tianying to leave the vicinity of the Dark Locust's nest and approach the formation.
Yuan Wu seized the opportunity, charged into the enemy camp, and burned the golden wheel of merit to rapidly increase his cultivation.
At the cost of his own life, he blew the huge dark locust nest into countless pieces, which could never be restored.
This is the first Hedao cultivator to fall since the battle of Youxu started again.
But he won't be the last.
…
"Yin Tianying! Did you deliberately stay away from the Dark Locust's Nest?"
"Speak!"
"Didn't I tell you long ago that the Dark Locust Nest is extremely important and must not be lost!"
The Dark Locust Priest Huang Chong stared at the Shadow Priest Yin Tianying and shouted at him harshly.
Yin Tianying said calmly, "I am Wuxin."
"Liu Yun has revealed a flaw. We should try to attack and destroy the formation."
It's rare for him to say so much.
Huang Chong was furious, "Nonsense! You're just jealous of me because I've gained the leader's favor!"
"Just wait, I'm going to report you to the leader!"
Song Dengtian, who was eating melons at the side, was confused when he heard this, "What does it have to do with me?"
Huang Chong sneered, "Weren't you there too? Why didn't you stop Yin Tianying when he left his post?"
"You must have colluded and deliberately exposed the Dark Locust Nest to danger!"
After saying that, Huang Chong left in anger.
Song Dengtian looked at Huang Chong's departing back with an ugly expression.
How dare you, Huang Chong, speak to me so arrogantly?
Do you still have eyes for me, the Blood Moon Priest?
Song Dengtian glanced at Yin Tianying standing next to him and suddenly laughed, "Yin Jishou, why did you deliberately leave the vicinity of the mother nest?"
Yin Tianying was covered in a huge gray robe, looking particularly mysterious.
Hearing this, he said calmly, "I told you, it wasn't intentional."
Song Dengtian sneered, "Stop pretending, you did it on purpose."
"Once this Dark Locust Mother Nest is completed, the Dark Locust Sect's strength will be greatly enhanced."
"Huang Chong is already a close confidant of the leader. If he were to obtain the Dark Locust's nest, his power would surpass ours."
"Don't worry, we have a tacit understanding between you and me."
Yin Tianying said nothing, as if agreeing with what he said.
Song Dengtian said again, "Yin Jishou, you and I should join forces."
"The only variable this time has been locked away, and the battle for the ruins is a foregone conclusion."
"So, we should make some plans for the future early."
After saying this, seeing Yin Tianying's lack of reaction, he continued, "Huang Chong is the leader's confidant. Everything has a first come, first served basis. The leader definitely favors him the most."
These words seemed to be spoken to Yin Tianying, but also seemed to be spoken to himself.
Yin Tianying was silent for a long time before he suddenly asked, "How do we cooperate?"
Song Dengtian was slightly delighted. "It's easy! When Huang Chong needs our support, we can just delay him for a while."
"Try to deplete the manpower of his Dark Locust Sect."
"This is the only way to suppress his arrogance."
Yin Tianying nodded, "Huang Chong is brave but not wise. He is arrogant because of his favor. Sooner or later, he will get into trouble."
"That's right! The leader should be surrounded by people like us, not Huang Chong!" Song Dengtian agreed deeply.
Outside the ruins.
Vast void.
It seems that there is nothing, but in fact, Tianzun has already arrived.
Jian Zun and Yousuo faced the three people: Shensheng Ling Tianzun, Cilongshu Wangzun, and Da Ri Tianzun.
As for the Shadow Evil Ancestor, he rushed to the eternal battlefield.
"Twelfth Junior Brother, long time no see." Great Sun Lord smiled slightly.
The Sword Master looked towards the Great Sun Master.
From his perspective, all he could see was a dark, cold sun.
No human figures could be seen.
It was obvious that his eighth senior brother had completely abandoned his human form.
Abandoning the human form means not only abandoning the human body, but also abandoning the human soul.
Although many fallen cultivators have abandoned their physical bodies, their souls are still human souls.
As the Heavenly Lord of Tribulation, he could see it at a glance.
But the Great Sun Lord completely abandoned all of this.
This person has completely become a member of "Dark Sun".
In fact, he should be called the Dark Sun Disaster Ancestor.
"Even from this distance, I can hear the cries of millions of Xuandao Holy Sect disciples on you."
Sword Master said coldly.
Xuan Dao Holy Sect is the sect originally founded by Great Sun Tianzun.
It is on par with sects such as Wanxing Fairy Palace and Kunlun Sword Sect.
But on the day when Great Sun Lord betrayed the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance, the cold sun shone on the Xuan Dao Holy Sect.
All of his millions of disciples became nutrients for the Great Sun Lord.
As a result, there is not a single Hedao cultivator from the Xuandao Holy Sect in the Tiandao Immortal Alliance.
They all entered the stomach of the Great Sun Lord.
Great Sun Celestial Venerable said calmly, "Twelfth Junior Brother, you are wrong. They are not crying, but roaring with excitement."
"Celebrate your new life."
"The human body and soul are too weak to reach higher realms."
"I've opened up a brand new world for them. They're already grateful, so how could they cry?"
Yousuo seemed to be lost in thought.
The Great Sun Lord did not actively participate in the fight like the Divine Holy Spirit Lord and the Compassionate Dragon Tree Lord.
He has always been hiding in his own little corner, immersed in research.
Now it suddenly appears.
It seems that the research has paid off.
Great Sun Celestial Venerable smiled and said, "Next, a brand new race will be born."
"I call them the Dark Star Clan."
Jian Zun and Yousuo followed his gaze.
It was discovered that three strange evil beasts flew out from the cracks in the void and entered the battlefield on the surface of the ruins.
At first glance, these evil beasts are not much different from the Dark Sun Clan.
But if you look closely, they are smaller in size but purer in power.
Compared to Dark Sun, it can only amplify Dark Locust.
Dark Star can amplify all nearby evil beasts.
Wherever Dark Star appears, it makes all the nearby evil beasts as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
The overall strength soared by more than 10%.
The Sword Master narrowed his eyes and looked.
There seemed to be a familiar aura in the body of Anxing, who was in the Hedao stage and was in the lead.
After a few breaths, he remembered.
In the past, there was a Hedao cultivator in the Xuandao Holy Sect named Xu Jian. Because he loved the grand and open sword art, he gave himself the Taoist name "Dajian".
Because of this, he was not secretly ridiculed by other Hedao monks.
Xu Jian was noticed by the Great Sun Lord and accepted as his last disciple.
However, Great Sun Tianzun's attainments in swordsmanship were not high, so Xu Jian, with Great Sun Tianzun's permission, went to Kunlun Sword Sect every few days to ask him for advice on swordsmanship.
He also liked this honest and straightforward disciple and shared with him all his insights into the way of the sword.
After that, the Great Sun Lord rebelled against the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance and swallowed up millions of disciples of the Xuan Dao Holy Sect.
Xu Jian naturally became one of the nutrients of the Great Sun Lord.
Unexpectedly, the honest and straightforward disciple that day was transformed into the Dark Star Disaster Beast by his own master.
Sword Master suddenly laughed.
Everyone who knows him knows it.
If he looks indifferent, it means that his emotions are very stable.
But if you suddenly laugh, it means you are angry.
"In my opinion, kendo is just a side path."
"As long as one's own life level is elevated, there is no need for external assistance."
"One move is enough to destroy the world."
Great Sun Tianzun smiled, "Twelfth Junior Brother, you like Zheng Jian very much, right?"
"What a pity! If he had gone to your Kunlun Sword Sect, he would have been a great sword master with great military achievements."
Sword Master, "His name is Xu Jian."
Great Sun Tianzun laughed heartily, "It doesn't matter what you call it."
"He is now a powerful Hedao master of my Dark Star Clan!"
The Sword Master said nothing, and the sword energy roared out into the sky.
This time, it was not a flying sword made of spiritual wood, but a flying sword carved by him with his own spiritual power.
Naturally, he would no longer be restrained by the Molten Gold Immortal Water.
A giant sword spanned the sky, and then split into thousands of flying swords, which simultaneously pressed down towards the Great Sun Heavenly Venerable and the Cilong Tree King Venerable.
The latter two laughed strangely and immediately went forward.
The Divine Holy Spirit looked at Yousuo and smiled, "Since they are fighting, let's stop fighting and confront each other."
Yousuo said casually, "That's fine."
"Okay." The Divine Spirit Holy Lord nodded and transformed into a large ball of dark mist again, floating in the same place.
But his gaze was always on Yousuo.
Although Yousuo's strength is at the bottom among all the Heavenly Lords who have transcended the tribulation, he is essentially also a Heavenly Lord who has transcended the tribulation.
But what he is good at is not frontal combat.
As long as Yousuo uses all his strength, he can at least stop him.
What's more, in the last battle of Youxu, Yousuo was able to activate the ancient Styx to protect his body for some reason.
If the ancient underworld river can be mobilized again this time, then Yousuo's true combat power will be further improved.
There would be no result if the two of them continued to fight.
It would be better to just confront each other like this.
"The origin of the dark fog is still in you." The Divine Holy Spirit Tianzun suddenly said in a voice transmission.
Yousuo smiled and asked, "Why, you want to take it back?"
The Divine Spirit Heavenly Venerable chuckled, "Of course. But don't worry, I got this thing for myself, so I won't use it to awaken the Saint Ancestor of the Dark Mist."
Yousuo nodded, "How selfish! It seems that after sinking into the downfall, your character flaws have been magnified too much."
The Divine Holy Spirit Tianzun was completely unconcerned and continued to smile as he transmitted, "In exchange, I can give you something, something that will allow you to explore a higher realm."
Yousuo's face was calm.
The Divine Holy Spirit Tianzun continued, "Don't you want to know why the Ancient Emperor was able to enlighten you?"
"At that time, he had only just completed his tribulation. How could he have enlightened a tribulation-crossing being out of thin air?"
"How about this deal?"
Yousuo just listened quietly, but remained unmoved.
Such a deal had been proposed to her many times by the Divine Spirit Tianzun over the past tens of thousands of years.
As expected, there must be evil intentions hidden behind it.
She was indeed full of doubts about why she was able to be enlightened by the ancient emperor.
The same is true for the Sword Master.
But this mystery needs to be answered by yourself.
The Divine Holy Spirit Tianzun smacked his lips and shook his head regretfully.
Such a salty hook and bait really can't catch anyone.
While the battle of Tianzun is going on.
The war inside Youxu is also going on.
Compared with the battles at the Heavenly Venerable level, the war here is even more brutal.
Because at the level of Heavenly Venerate, everyone knows each other's strength very well.
Unless there are special circumstances, it is almost always a confrontation of strength and an exchange of pieces, and no one can do anything to anyone else.
But it is different under the Heavenly Lord.
In terms of combat power below that of the Heavenly Venerable, the gap between the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance and the Xutian Immortal Sect is quite huge.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the number of He Dao between the two sides is difficult to count.
The three strongest members of the Tiandao Immortal Alliance have achieved perfect harmony with the Dao, and are still in seclusion to overcome the tribulation.
Apart from this, there are only a handful of people who have achieved the perfect harmony with the Dao.
Yuan Feng was one of them. He was seriously injured and had not yet recovered, so he was unable to participate in the battle.
Further down, there are powerful warriors in the late stage of Hedao, such as Douzhan Tianjun, Bumie Tianjun, and Yi Tianjun.
There are also very few of these strong ones.
They have to guard the three major passes of the Eternal Battlefield and the Ruins.
There are four void cracks in the ruins, opening up four battlefields at the same time.
You can imagine how difficult it is to be so busy.
However, the Tiandao Immortal Alliance had already made preparations and set up many formations.
There are also more than 100,000 years of experience in defending cities.
Therefore, although all battlefields were on the defensive, no major flaws appeared.
Even if a crisis occurs, we can quickly identify and rectify the problems and restore stability.
If they continue to fight like this, they will fall into the defensive battle that the Tiandao Immortal Alliance is best at, and there will be no result.
The Demon-Subduing Lord sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.
He had just repelled the attacks of two mid-stage Hedao shadow demons, killed one and seriously injured the other, and barely got some time to rest.
However, I had just taken a healing pill and had not had time to refine the medicinal power.
Disciple Xu Chengyun rushed in quickly, his face solemn, and said, "Master, this is bad! A new evil beast has appeared."
The Demon-Subduing Lord was stunned.
A new evil beast?
After fighting with the Xutian Fallen Sect for so many years, what kind of evil beast have they not seen?
The major clans include Abyss Dragon, Dark Locust, Dark Sun, Dark Mist, Blood Moon Demon, Shadow Demon, Red Spider Lily, and Greedy Tree.
The small tribes include Tantun, Guimu, Yinniu, Fangfeng, etc.
Of course, the Blood Moon Realm was previously destroyed by the Immortal Heavenly Lord, and billions of Blood Moon Monsters were destroyed in an instant.
Therefore, the Blood Moon Demon has fallen from a large tribe to a small tribe.
But that's all.
What new evil beast could there be?
Xu Chengyun smiled bitterly, "They are indeed new evil beasts. They are somewhat similar to the Dark Sun, but they are far more powerful than the Dark Sun."
"Master, please come with me to take a look."
The Demon-Subduing Lord was full of doubts, but he still rushed to the battlefield as soon as possible.
What he was guarding was a void crack 13,000 feet underground in the ruins.
It was also the crack where Yin Tianying and other fallen cultivators retreated.
As soon as he arrived, he discovered the huge black star floating in the air.
The black star emitted a cold light.
Wherever the light shines, all the evil beasts become high and excited, and their strength increases by at least 10%.
The monks of the Immortal Alliance will be weakened instead.
As one grows stronger, the other shrinks, and the difference between the fallen cultivators and the immortal alliance cultivators at the same level becomes more than 20%.
The Demon-Subduing Lord remembered that he had just forced back two Hedao-stage shadow demons, and he still had a slight advantage in the battle.
But why has it become so corrupt now?
Xu Chengyun smiled bitterly, "It is because of the appearance of these new species of evil beasts that the battle has suddenly become difficult."
"Master, you are very knowledgeable. What kind of evil beast is this? How come I have never seen it before?"
Several Void-Refining Monks who were meditating and healing nearby also cast their gaze over with inquiring expressions.
The Demon-Subduing Lord swallowed his saliva.
You ask me, who should I ask?
I want to know too!
At this time, a message was transmitted to his Immortal Alliance Order through the Micro Star Tower.
"Dark Star..."
He pondered for a few breaths and came to his senses.
The look he gave those strange beasts became extremely complicated.
When the Xuan Dao Holy Sect was still in existence, he was still a cultivator of the Lianxu realm.
He has a cheerful personality, and therefore has a very good relationship with many cultivators of the Xuan Dao Holy Sect.
As a result, the Xuan Dao Holy Sect was destroyed overnight.
His fellow Taoists also became food for the Great Sun Lord.
He had almost forgotten these things that happened so long ago.
Now this message from Liuyun Tianjun tells the origin of the Dark Star Clan.
But it made him pick up those long-lost memories again.
These dark stars that people wanted to get rid of as soon as possible were actually the fellow Taoists of the former Xuan Dao Holy Sect.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Xu Chengyun asked in confusion.
The Demon-Subduing Heavenly Monarch took a deep breath and shook his head. "Nothing, let's get started."
"These evil beasts are called Dark Stars, and they are a new species of evil beasts."
"Leave that Hedao-stage Dark Star to me to deal with personally."
"Eradicate them as soon as possible at all costs."
"Yes." Xu Chengyun nodded repeatedly.
He saw the complicated look in his master's eyes, roughly guessed what was going on, and didn't say much.
The brutal war broke out again.
This time, the battle became even more intense due to the appearance of a large number of Dark Stars.
Many long-famous monks fell.
There are also many unknown monks who have emerged.
The battlefield is a touchstone.
No matter how much you brag, how good you are at fighting, or how many people you have defeated.
Let's see the truth here.
Is it a mixture of good and bad, or is it tempered into steel?
…
"Dark Star?"
Chu Xuan held a light moth and quickly understood the recent battle situation clearly.
Therefore, they also learned about the existence of new evil beasts like Dark Star.
He didn't ask anyone.
Now, most of the Hedao Tianjuns think that he is really in seclusion and cannot participate in the war.
Once you ask, people will naturally know that he is pretending.
If it is leaked, it is very likely to cause problems in the plan.
However, he still roughly guessed what these dark stars were.
After all, they look very similar to Anri, and they were created by the Great Sun Lord, but they know how to release spiritual power spells.
It's actually not difficult to guess.
"The current battles on the surface and underground of Nether Ruins, and in Nijie City, are all just feints."
"The true killer move of the Xutian Fallen Sect is beneath the Nether Ruins, in the passage leading to the Destroying Emperor Valley."
"Once that passage is opened, the Dark Locust Ancestor's clone will be able to escape."
"Even though the Dark Locust Ancestor has been suppressed by the Sword Master for countless years, his clones are still able to wreak havoc in the Nether Ruins, and are unmatched even under the Tribulation."
Chu Xuan paced back and forth, deep in thought, "He, the Prison Master, must have already come up with the divination result for this battle."
"I am the only variable in his divination."
He looked in the direction of the void crack, "Then according to the time, the void crack leading to the Emperor Destroying Valley should also open."
His strength is enough to challenge those in the late stage of Hedao.
In the great battle within the ruins, his appearance can definitely change the situation.
However, he is the variable itself after all.
Showing up too early will inevitably lead to a group attack, which will put you at a disadvantage.
So the time he chose for himself was when the void crack opened.
Dayue City.
The war has begun, and all the young and strong men of the Youren tribe have gone to the battlefield.
The Youren people, young and old, still live in this city.
Therefore, it seems much more depressed.
An old hermit, leaning on a cane, walked tremblingly towards the outside of the city.
All the other Youren people he met along the way bowed to him and touched their chests in greeting.
It also shows the extraordinary status of this hermit old man.
"Grandpa City Lord, there's a big battle going on right now. Why are you heading out instead of staying in the city? Aren't you afraid of encountering wandering evil beasts?"
A half-grown child shouted.
Ever since the three Hedao of the Youren tribe were publicly beheaded, the royal family of the Youren tribe was worried that they would be implicated, and almost all of them voluntarily gave up their status and position.
Many commoners of the Youren tribe also took advantage of this opportunity to defeat the former royal family and take power themselves.
This old man is the lord of Dayu City and the only royal family member who has not given up his status and position.
However, the old man had always had a good reputation, so he was not driven away.
During the last battle of Youxu, many evil beasts took the opportunity to attack Dayu City in turns.
Many shadow monsters took advantage of the chaos to sneak into Dayue City.
It was this city lord who led the remaining Youren warriors to find these shadow monsters and completely killed them, thus pacifying the rear.
The combination of multiple factors has made the old city lord's reputation increasingly prosperous.
Hearing the child's question, the old city lord chuckled, "Grandpa is not afraid."
"Grandpa left the city to end this war quickly."
The half-grown child nodded, not quite understanding, and watched the old man leave the city.
The distance was not short and the old man walked very slowly.
So it took two full days to reach the destination.
It's strange to say, there are obviously many evil beasts wandering around in the ruins.
But the old city lord didn't encounter any evil beasts at all.
Arrived at the destination safely.
There is nothing here.
It looked like just a field full of weeds.
Such fields are very common in the ruins.
After all, when the Great You Sect was still in existence, the You people had been cultivating various spiritual plants for them.
Therefore, the territory of the Youren tribe has always been very fertile.
Even if you don't work very hard, you can still gain a lot.
The old city lord let out a long sigh, as if he had let out the vicissitudes of a lifetime.
He took out a mysteriously shaped disc from his arms and placed it on the ground.
The disc quickly unfolded, and the dark air immediately spread out, completely covering the entire field.
After a few breaths, a crack in the void slowly opened up.
It was like a demon that had been sleeping for a long time, opening its evil giant eyes.
The sound of flowing water suddenly appeared.
A figure came rushing over and surrounded the old city lord.
Shang Xingchen stared at the old man and said in a deep voice, "I recognize you. During the last battle at Youxu, you organized people to kill the shadow monsters that had infiltrated the Great Youcheng."
"You have a high reputation among the Youren tribe."
"Why did you betray the Immortal Alliance? Why did you do such a thing?"
He had already quietly arrived at Youxu and had been lurking in the Great Youcheng for a long time.
He knew a lot about the situation of the Youren tribe.
He knew every detail of this old city lord.
The old city lord looked at Shang Xingchen and said calmly, "They said they could let us live for 10,000 people after the war."
"I agree."
Shang Xingchen sighed lightly and shook his head.
For a small tribe like the Youren, swaying with the wind is the way to survive.
Obviously, in their opinion, the chances of the Immortal Alliance winning this second battle of Youxu were too low.
The right path is to abandon evil and turn to good as soon as possible.
The old city lord just wanted the Youren tribe to continue.
Shang Xingchen didn't crush the old city lord to death, but threw him aside. "I won't kill you. I want you to live and watch."
"Let's see whether the Immortal Alliance wins or loses."
The old city lord was stunned for a moment, leaned against a large rock, and nodded, "Okay, I'll watch."
Shang Xingchen looked calmly at the crack in the void.
He did not stop the old city lord when he activated the disc.
Because Yousuo had told him before that this battle was a counter-attack.
The purpose of this battle is to kill the Dark Locust, the ancestor of the evil, and free the Sword Master from endless control.
Therefore, not only must the gates be opened wide, but the Dark Locust Disaster Ancestor must also be allowed to escape.
Only in this way can we catch them all in one fell swoop.
Shang Xingchen stands here calmly.
After counting the breaths.
The sound of countless elytra vibrating could be heard from the cracks in the void.
Buzz——
Such sounds kept coming, enough to make one's ears ring and head dizzy.
Shang Xingchen also felt a little pressure.
That was a terrifying pressure from ancient times.
The next moment.
A dark locust suddenly rushed out of the void crack.
It is only the size of a finger, much smaller than other levels of dark locusts.
But his body was covered with golden patterns.
"Such a familiar smell."
"Is this the Great Phantom Sect?"
A hoarse voice came out of Dark Locust's mouth.
Ancient and vicissitudes of life.
Then came ecstasy.
"I escaped! I escaped!"
Buzz buzz buzz!
More dark locusts suddenly rushed out of the void crack.
Covering the sky and blocking out the sun.
Shang Xingchen took a rough look and saw at least one million of them.
The Sword Master himself personally guards the Emperor Destroying Valley, and every once in a while he will plow through the fields and kill all the clones of the Dark Locust Ancestor.
But why can't we kill the Dark Locust Ancestor and make it fall into a long sleep?
Because every time there is a Dark Locust clone left behind.
The Dark Locust Disaster Ancestor is very cunning.
I won't use all my clones to deal with Sword Master.
Every time, some clones are hidden very deeply.
After escaping the Sword Master's plowing and sweeping this time, these clones will continue to reproduce.
This is the only way to form locust swarms of billions time and time again.
"Fresh air...intoxicating fragrance..."
"I haven't smelled anything like this in a long time."
The Dark Locust Disaster Ancestor laughed heartily, feeling very happy.
Then he heard the sound of running water.
Crash...
He looked closely.
The deep and cold river water has surrounded the void crack.
All the Dark Locust clones could not move away.
This river water seems particularly familiar.
It took him a while to react, "Ancient Styx?"
He looked at the handsome young monk in front of him, examined him carefully, and then said, "I was wondering who tamed the ancient Styx."
"It turned out to be the River Spirit."
"How ridiculous! The Ancient Dark River Spirit is also working for the Immortal Alliance?"
"You are clearly a member of the Void."
Shang Xingchen remained unmoved and just stretched out his hand to shake it.
Crash!
The water of the ancient Hades River came pressing down from all directions.
Further oppress the space of the Dark Locust clone.
Several dark locust clones were unable to dodge and fell into the ancient Styx. After struggling for a few times, they immediately dissolved.
Shang Xingchen seemed to be lost in thought.
No wonder he was asked to keep an eye on this void crack.
It seems that the ancient Styx River seems to have a good inhibitory effect on the Dark Locust Disaster Ancestor.
Dark Locust Disaster Ancestor laughed strangely, "Hehe, since you are so stubborn, then I will destroy the river spirit in this life as well."
"Do you really think that after hundreds of thousands of years, my clone is still afraid of the Ancient Styx?"
"You are wrong, you are all wrong!"
"The most powerful thing about my Dark Locust clan is that we can constantly mutate and evolve."
"What doesn't kill me makes me stronger!"
As soon as the words fell, all the Dark Locust clones changed color at the same time.
They were originally black and yellow in color, with gold patterns covering the surface.
But now, changes have begun gradually but rapidly from the inside out.
Their hard shells turned a deep blue.
The dried elytra also quickly degenerate into fins suitable for swimming in water.
The limbs are specialized into sharp needles, which are filled with dark green poisonous juice.
In just a short moment, these dark locust clones changed from dark locusts that were good at flying and resisting sword energy to dark locusts that were suitable for cruising in the ancient Styx.
The next moment.
These dark locust clones ignored everything and went straight into the ancient Styx.
Just now, the Ancient Styx could easily drown the Dark Locust clone.
This is not the suppression of strength, but the restraint of weakness.
But now, these dark locusts are swimming in the water like fish.
Like a fish in water!
Shang Xingchen's expression changed slightly, and he immediately mobilized the Ancient Styx to block the escape route of these Dark Locust clones.
He had to lock all the Dark Locust clones here and not let any of them escape.
Because the clones of the Dark Locust Ancestor all have the ability to reproduce through self-pollination.
As long as there is enough food, the number of them can be expanded from just one to hundreds of millions in just a few days.
Even if 99.9% of them were killed and only one escaped, it would be no different from a failure.
clang!
As far as Shang Xingchen could see, the water of the Ancient Styx River solidified rapidly and turned into solid ice, freezing the fastest-moving Dark Locust clones in the ice.
Within a dozen breaths, tens of thousands of dark locust clones were frozen, and none of them survived.
Dark Locust Disaster Ancestor was a little surprised, "You are mastering the Ancient Underworld River very quickly in this life. I think you will soon catch up with your previous life."
He also didn't expect that the river spirit in front of him had already mastered the level of freezing water into ice.
Shang Xingchen said nothing.
But just from the other person's words, he could tell that the other person must know a lot about his past life.
"However, this level of condensation can only freeze me temporarily."
The Dark Locust Disaster Ancestor laughed strangely.
After saying this, all the ice cubes began to tremble violently.
The next moment, they all exploded!
Those dark locust clones were unharmed and accelerated again to fly out of the ancient Styx.
Shang Xingchen's face darkened.
He awakened many memories of his past life.
He learned that the Ancient Styx could restrain the Dark Locust from his memories of his previous life.
Over hundreds of thousands of years of history, the Dark Locust Ancestor had repeatedly tried to completely destroy the Ancient Styx in order to eliminate its weaknesses.
The Dark Locust Ancestor can continuously evolve and mutate his own clones, and even mutate into a Dark Locust clone that is not afraid of the water of the ancient Styx.
In the previous life, in order to resist the Dark Locust, he naturally tried every possible way.
So, he still has a way.
However, this method has not yet been fully perfected.
If we use it prematurely now, it will not only alert the enemy, but may also harm his soul.
"Brother, isn't it time for you to show up?" Shang Xingchen looked around and smiled helplessly.
The next moment, a cold voice came from above.
"Hmph, I'm the one who's going to clean up your mess."
roar!
A loud dragon roar resounded through heaven and earth.
All the Dark Locust clones were shocked at the same time, their hearts and minds terrified.
This voice is so familiar.
These creatures born in the void have a supreme king.
Although this king never admitted that he was the king of all creatures in the void.
They even joined the opposing side of the Void in the final battle of the Age of Troubles, helping the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance to deal with them.
But there is no doubt.
The Void Dragon is still the king of the void creatures.
This roar was exactly the roar of the Void Dragon.
This momentary shock made An Locust Disaster Ancestor recall the past.
He recalled the days when he was easily crushed by the Ancestor of the Void Dragon.
After a brief moment of shock, the Dark Locust Disaster Ancestor also came to his senses.
Compared to the roar of the Void Dragon Ancestor.
This roar seemed a little lacking in strength.
More like a young virtual dragon.
The Dark Locust Disaster Ancestor looked towards the darkness above.
A pair of bright black vertical pupils suddenly lit up there.
Those eyes were filled with violence, ferocity, and destruction.
Click, click!
Wherever the dragon's eyes swept, all the dark locust clones exploded and blew into countless pieces.
In just a few breaths, only a few of the tens of thousands of dark locust clones remained.
These creatures carried a great deal of power, so they were not instantly wiped out. Instead, they were severely injured and barely survived.
The consciousness of the Dark Locust Ancestor is entirely constructed by these Dark Locust clones.
Once too many Dark Locust clones die, his consciousness will also slow down.
Even falling into a long sleep.
But even at this point, he was not frightened.
Instead, he smiled.
"Interesting, very interesting."
"You should be the part of the soul that Xu Long deliberately separated."
"Looking at this posture, it should be the largest soul."
"No wonder he was able to cast the Destruction Eye so easily and kill so many of my clones in an instant."
Dark Locust Disaster Ancestor laughed strangely, "However, I have endured the Destruction Eye more times than you have used it."
"I know the strengths and weaknesses of this move better than you do."
"Every day in the Emperor Destroying Valley is long, so long that I can count how many stones there are in the Emperor Destroying Valley."
"Tease the swordsman was my daily pastime, but it was never enough. Every day seemed horribly long and difficult. So I began to reflect on my past."
"Continuously optimize these Dark Locust clones to deal with methods that you are unable to deal with."
"Among these methods, the Ancient Styx is the first, and the Destruction Eye is the second."
"You think I can't deal with Destruction Eyes?"
"Wrong."
Dark Locust Disaster Ancestor laughed strangely, "I already have a way to deal with the purpose of destruction."
"Xulong Soul, take a look at those clones that you just killed. Where are they now?"
The pair of pitch-black dragon pupils immediately looked at the dark locust fragments.
There was nothing there.
But he clearly heard the sound of the dark locust's elytra vibrating.
It was clearly thousands of dark locusts flying!
Shang Xingchen's eyes fixed.
He noticed that the pair of dark dragon eyes became dazed.
Looking more closely, the dragon's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of gray light.
"Your eyes are blindfolded!" Shang Xingchen shouted immediately.
However, Shang Tian was unmoved, as if he had not heard it.
Dark Locust Disaster Ancestor laughed strangely, "Stop shouting, he can't hear you."
"The condition for using Destruction Eyes is to see the enemy."
"The sound of so many dark locusts vibrating their elytra is enough to form a sonic shield around him, blocking out all external sounds."
He laughed. "I was destined to escape!"
In a flash, those severely injured dark locust clones split into thousands and flew out together.
Shang Xingchen tried his best to drive the water of the ancient Styx to flow in from all directions, but he could only slightly slow down the speed of these dark locust clones.
His face darkened and he was about to activate his secret technique immediately.
Even if it is harmful to yourself, you have to use it.
If the Dark Locust Disaster Ancestor is allowed to escape, the river spirit Shang Xingchen will be on pins and needles.
Because the Dark Locust Ancestor will definitely do his best to eliminate all weaknesses.
This naturally includes him.
This time he agreed to come with Yousuo to deal with the Dark Locust Disaster Ancestor, to help the Tiandao Immortal Alliance and also to help himself.
However, just as Shang Xingchen was about to take action.
Suddenly, he saw a sky full of black and red flames bursting down, forming a circular wall of flames outside the ancient Styx.
The thousands of dark locust clones were about to escape, but when they were burned by the purple-black flames, they immediately let out miserable squeaking sounds and quickly turned into ashes and scattered.
The Dark Locust Disaster Ancestor opened his eyes wide.
I never expected that there would be such a killer move.
"Who, who is it!"
He looked toward where the flames were coming from.
There seemed to be nothing there.
The next moment.
A giant flaming spear suddenly shot out.
This giant spear is made of two completely different flames.
One is black and red, the other is purple and blue.
The interweaving of the two colors makes it look even more ferocious and cold.
It seems to be able to destroy all life.
An Locust Disaster Ancestor's heart sank.
Even though he had just had billions of clones killed by the Sword Master not long ago.
His clone is also the clone of the Lord of Tribulation.
It's not something that can be burned to ashes by any acquired spiritual fire.
That black and red flame must be the innate spiritual fire.
But at first glance, it wasn't anything he had ever seen.
Now seeing this giant flaming spear, he understood even more why the other party was so powerful.
Because he had seen this trick before.
In the tenth century of the ancient golden age, he had fought with those ancient celestial masters.
Among them was an old man from the Zhenyang Sect who had transcended tribulation and whose Taoist name was Zhenyang Tianzun.
Zhenyang Tianzun had used this trick before.
However, the innate spiritual fire gun of Zhenyang Tianzun is only of one color, that is, one kind of innate spiritual fire.
But the giant gun in front of him was of two colors.
This means that they are two kinds of innate spiritual fire.
One person tames two kinds of innate spiritual fire?
He asked himself, he had lived for so long, but he had only seen a handful of people like this.
Almost all of them are peerless geniuses who dominate their generation.
Who is this person?
Not to mention the Dark Locust Disaster Ancestor, Shang Xingchen was also shocked for a few breaths when he saw the two-colored innate spiritual fire guns.
After he awakened his memories of his past life, many stories of peerless geniuses appeared in his mind.
The ancient golden age was divided into ten eras.
In every era, there are peerless geniuses who dominate the world.
The Ancient Emperor was the prodigy of the Tenth Century and the entire turbulent era that followed.
But the nine geniuses mentioned above were no less capable than the Ancient Emperor.
Taming two innate spiritual fires is already a talent in itself.
Now he can also learn the "True Art of Ten Thousand Fires" from Zhenyang Tianzun, and successfully condense the two innate spiritual fires into a gun, so that he can use it to a deeper level.
In his opinion, this person is almost reaching the threshold of those ten peerless geniuses!
whoosh!
This giant gun is extremely fast.
One moment he was still there, and the next moment he appeared in front of him.
The remaining Dark Locust clones immediately dispersed.
And a dark blue shell immediately appeared on its body.
The Dark Locust Disaster Ancestor has lived for so long that although he cannot recognize the Netherworld Karma Fire, he recognizes the Taiyi Purple Thunder Flame.
So he immediately had the only remaining Dark Locust clone equipped with a lightning-resistant shell.
In his opinion, the threat posed by Taiyi Purple Thunder Flame was obviously greater than that of the black and red flame.
Time is running out now, and there is only time to change into a new shell.
Then the lightning-resistant shell is naturally more critical.
In this way, the power of Taiyi Purple Thunder Flame can be reduced to the greatest extent.
"Although there are some surprises, it is still within expectations."
He thought to himself.
The next moment, the two-colored innate spiritual fire guns fell down with a bang, exploding into a sky full of lightning and flames.
Sizzle!
Wherever it passed, all the Dark Locust clones froze immediately.
Taiyi Purple Thunder Flame is actually a flame transformed from lightning.
So it also has the characteristics of thunder and lightning.
That means it can be conducted and can jump.
However, the impromptu decision made by the Dark Locust Disaster Ancestor was indeed useful.
The speed of these hundreds of dark locust clones did slow down, but the injuries they suffered were not serious.
At best, it was just a minor injury.
However, what An Huang Huo Zu did not expect was.
The black and red flames actually began to burn something else.
Merit.
Merit!
The Dark Locust Disaster Ancestor couldn't stop shaking all over.
These creatures born from the void do not need merit, but are afraid of evil karma.
But the creatures in the void also have a characteristic, which is that they can naturally cover up their own evil karma.
The more powerful it is, the easier it is to conceal.
At this level, he can not only protect himself, but also the entire Dark Locust clan.
Therefore, even the young locusts that have just emerged from the eggs will not suffer the consequences of their bad karma.
But if it is exposed passively, it will be a different story.
Their existence will be discovered by the Heaven, and divine punishment will be brought down!
This is also the reason why they are very reluctant to force the monks of Wuxianglong Temple into a desperate situation.
Those monks all have merits, and their merits are not low.
Once they reach a desperate situation, they will burn their merits and even self-destruct their golden wheel.
This will expose them to the laws of nature.
A cultivator with great merit can often exchange his own life for the lives of thousands of creatures in the void.
Although there are many creatures in the void, it is impossible for them to take turns rushing forward and die.
These creatures in the void have no merits at all. They have been plagued by evil karma since the day they were born!
The black and red flames were supposed to burn his merits, but since he had no merits, his bad karma would naturally be doubled!
In this way, he will be exposed to the laws of heaven!
The Dark Locust Ancestor screamed and immediately gathered all the Dark Locust clones together, exhausting all the strength in his body to condense into the hardest shell.
Just to protect the one in the middle.
As long as one survives, he will not fall into long hibernation.
As expected.
The next moment, a crack suddenly appeared on the rock dome for no reason.
A dark cloud quickly gathered.
Thunder is brewing.
This is different from the heavenly tribulation of cultivators.
But it is a punishment from heaven.
It's a punishment from heaven!
So it won't take too long to brew.
really.
It only took five breaths.
A huge bolt of lightning came crashing down.
It is not green thunder, blue thunder, purple thunder or red thunder.
But it is the most powerful golden thunder.
The golden thunder illuminates the dark sky and earth like daylight.
Every person and every object was covered with a layer of golden light.
boom!
Golden thunder roared down.
Like the judgment of the Emperor of Heaven.
All the Dark Locust clones were blown to pieces in an instant.
As the void disaster beast at the end of the avenue, the Dark Locust Disaster Ancestor has destroyed countless lives.
The evil karma on one's body is naturally even heavier.
The divine punishment that comes with it is even more terrifying.
Seeing this scene, Shang Xingchen was shocked.
This trick of killing with a borrowed knife is really brilliant.
Who is this person?
Is it really Henry Chu?
Although I felt that familiar breath from the beginning.
But witnessing such a spectacular victory with his own eyes still made him feel a little unbelievable.
"You're still in a daze, and everyone is about to run away."
A light laugh was heard.
The next moment, a dark locust the size of a sesame seed suddenly jumped out from the ashes at an extremely fast speed and flew straight into the void!
This sudden scene caught Shang Xingchen off guard.
Under the thunder punishment of heaven, the ancestor of the dark locust disaster was able to escape?
Its survivability is truly terrifying.
No wonder one of his clones was able to successfully escape from the ancient emperor during the final battle of the turbulent era.
It is said that it was the Sword Master who hunted him all the way and sealed him in the Emperor Destruction Valley, suppressing him day after day for 100,000 years, thus preventing the Dark Locust Ancestor from making a comeback.
However, even so, the Sword Master could only clean up the Emperor Valley every once in a while and kill every dark locust within his sight.
Otherwise, if the Dark Locust Ancestor reproduces more clones, there is still a possibility of breaking out of the Emperor Valley.
Shang Xingchen looked at the sesame-sized Dark Locust clone and was about to use his trump card immediately.
Henry Chu's voice came again.
"No need, your brother has already taken action."
After that, a loud dragon roar was heard.
Awakening!
The speed of the last Dark Locust clone's flight suddenly slowed down.
At this moment, a huge body shot out like lightning.
The giant claw slammed down, capturing the Dark Locust clone with one hand.
It was not until this moment that Shang Xingchen saw Shang Tianjue's appearance clearly.
Shang Tianjue's body length is more than four meters.
Two small dragon horns bulged out from the hair on top of his head.
There are scales on many places such as the elbows and knees.
The right hand that captured the Dark Locust clone now formed a huge dragon claw, which was much larger than the dragon itself.
The two brothers were not too excited when they met again after hundreds of years.
Instead, everything is back to normal.
Chu Xuan also suddenly landed at this time.
He has always been overlooking the overall situation from a high vantage point.
From the moment the Dark Locust Ancestor rushed out of this void crack, tens of thousands of Light Spirit Moths filled every inch of the nearby space.
Of course, the Light Moth cannot fight against the Dark Locust's clone.
Their function is simply to act as an eye.
Confirm that none of the Dark Locust clones escaped.
That was why Chu Xuan was able to realize at the first moment that the Dark Locust Ancestor was not completely killed in the heavenly punishment thunder, but a sesame-sized clone had escaped.
The three of them looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
At this point, it should be considered the end, right?
But at this moment.
Shang Tianjue's expression suddenly changed slightly, "He is gnawing at my palm... He has entered my body."
Chu Xuan and Shang Xingchen looked in the direction of the sound.
He immediately discovered that there was a small bulge on Shang Tianjue's strong and thick right arm, which was moving rapidly towards his torso.
Judging from the appearance, it was obviously heading straight for the heart.
Shang Tianjue's eyes darkened, and he immediately blocked the nearby flesh and blood tissue, trying to force the Dark Locust Ancestor out.
However, his control over his body lost its effect.
The route that Dark Locust Disaster Ancestor took seemed like a secret passage in his body that even he himself was unaware of.
No matter how he blocked it, he couldn't stop the Dark Locust Ancestor's advance.
Moreover, while the Dark Locust Ancestor was advancing, it was also rapidly devouring flesh and blood and reproducing itself.
Only a few breaths had passed, and one had turned into hundreds.
This is obviously because the Dark Locust Ancestor was severely damaged by the heavenly punishment of thunder, and his strength was reduced to only one tenth, so his self-reproduction speed is so slow.
If it is at its peak, a moment of time is enough to cover the world.
Why can it only split into hundreds of clones in one breath?
Chu Xuan and Shang Xingchen also immediately heard a sneer coming from Shang Tianjue's body.
"Ancient Stygian River Spirit, and that kid with two innate spiritual fires, you are very good, very good!"
"I didn't expect to meet such a young man."
"It nearly killed me!"
"However, you still gave me a glimmer of hope."
"Since I have already studied how to overcome the Destruction Eye, I have also naturally studied how to kill the Void Dragon."
Dark Locust Disaster Ancestor laughed strangely, "The Void Dragon is indeed very powerful, but it is impossible for it to be without weaknesses."
"I've fought him countless times, and although I've lost every time, I'm very familiar with his body structure."
"I've traveled through hundreds of thousands of meridians all over his body."
"This is the only meridian I missed."
"Because it looks more like a wasted vein."
"Any living being, in the process of ascending to a higher level of life, will constantly discard useless things and overcome its weaknesses. However, unless it reaches the ultimate level of advancement, it will always have weaknesses."
"There will always be useless things that cannot be discarded."
"This meridian is the useless part of the Void Dragon, and it is also the part it cannot control."
Dark Locust Disaster Ancestor sneered, "Thank you, thank you for sending the Void Dragon Soul to me."
"Once I devour this divine soul, I will also possess some of the characteristics of the Void Dragon."
"By then, the Void Dragon Avenue will also be of use to me!"
From within Shang Tianjue's body came the hearty laughter of the Dark Locust Disaster Ancestor.
He was not at all upset by the severe damage from the heavenly thunder.
Instead, he quickly accepted the reality.
And began to use Shang Tianjue's body to reproduce itself and accelerate mutation.
Shang Tianjue's expression gradually became ugly.
He could feel that his strength was rapidly fading.
And that guy who was just a minor illness at the beginning has now become like another personality in the body.
Not only is it growing rapidly, it also wants to seize control of the body.
Shang Xingchen's expression was equally grim.
For a moment, he couldn't think of any way to pull the Dark Locust Ancestor out of Shang Tianjue's body.
Is it possible to just watch the Dark Locust Ancestor eat up Shang Tianjue?
Chu Xuan pondered for a few breaths, "I do have an idea, maybe we can give it a try."
Shang Xingchen and Shang Tianjue both looked at him.
Shang Tianjue said in a deep voice, "Let's try it, it doesn't matter whether it works or not."
Henry Chu nodded and grabbed it suddenly.
He caught the white jade turtle out of thin air.
This guy is still dozing with his head hunched over.
Chu Xuan had anticipated this and took out a large piece of water snake meat and immediately fished out the turtle's head.
"Brother Turtle, it's up to you."
Chu Xuan brought the white jade turtle in front of Shang Tianjue and said in a deep voice.
The white jade turtle swallowed the giant water monster meat in one gulp and looked at Shang Tianjue.
The small black bean-like eyes were a little surprised and a little greedy.
I saw it open its mouth again.
The thousands of bulges that had appeared on Shang Tianjue's chest suddenly stopped.
It was like being held back by a powerful suction force, unable to move forward.
Puff puff puff!
The next moment.
These thousands of sesame-sized dark locust clones broke through the skin and were sucked into the mouth of the white jade turtle.
No one is spared!
Shang Tianjue immediately sealed the flesh and blood near the wound, and then looked inward at himself before he breathed a sigh of relief.
There is indeed no longer that feeling of flesh and blood being gnawed.
All the Dark Locust clones were taken out of the body.
"Could this be the spirit of the Black Tortoise Seal?"
Shang Xingchen and Shang Tian looked at each other and said in unison.
Chu Xuan nodded.
The fact that he is the new master of the Xuanwu Seal has long been known to everyone, so there is no need to hide it.
The white jade turtle had previously swallowed the Dark Sun Disaster Ancestor.
He then decided to give it a try.
Sure enough, it worked this time.
Chu Xuan looked at the two of them and said, "Let's go, the battlefield in the Nether Ruins still needs our help."
Shang Xingchen and Shang Tianjue took a look at each other and then headed straight for the two void cracks in the ruins.
The Tiandao Immortal Alliance can only maintain a balance in terms of combat power at the Tianzun level.
But below the Heavenly Venerable, the gap is huge.
Now that the biggest danger, the Dark Locust Ancestor, has been resolved, we naturally have to rush back as soon as possible to support the monks of the Immortal Alliance.
"Don't worry, there's someone else here."
Shang Xingchen suddenly looked at the old city lord of the Youren tribe who was leaning against the rock wall.
The latter's eyes were now wide open, with disbelief written all over his face.
"Do you still think Xutian Luojiao will win?" Shang Xingchen asked.
The old city lord opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out.
After a while, he asked, "Am I wrong?"
Shang Xingchen and Shang Tianjue looked at each other without saying anything.
Chu Xuan said calmly, "You are right. The choice you made is to continue the Youren clan."
"But you shouldn't betray the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance."
"Being consistent is a good quality."
"Let's go, it's time to witness the defeat of the Xutian Fallen Sect."
He waved his hand and the old city lord was picked up and brought to his side.
…
Bang!
The Demon-Subduing Lord fired a shot, blasting Ming Wuzi in front of him far away.
The green spear strung together more than a dozen evil beasts and nailed them firmly to the rock wall.
The Demon-Subduing Lord took a deep breath, looked around, and felt a little dizzy.
There are enemies on all sides.
Dark locust, shadow demon, dark fog, red spider lily...
There were also several Hedao fallen cultivators and more than ten pseudo-Hedao fallen cultivators hiding among the evil beasts, watching them with eager eyes.
Only then did he realize that he was too murderous and had already reached the center of the battle alone.
Originally, he and Gu Hechensha of the Gu He War Clan were fighting the enemy back to back.
Now they are separated.
It was obviously deliberately guided by the enemy.
He felt dizzy again.
The light emitted by the dark star in the Hedao period in the air became increasingly deep.
Until now, he still hasn't been able to kill the Dark Star in the Hedao period.
The latter is well protected.
Once you get close, countless evil beasts and fallen cultivators will attack you.
Now that I think about it, besides amplifying the evil beast and casting spells, Dark Star probably also has the ability to influence the mind.
Otherwise, how could I be led into such a situation?
"Stop it, we have all our people around here, you can't escape."
A fallen cultivator of Hedao laughed strangely.
The Demon-Subduing Lord stretched out his hand, trying to recall his own natal Taoist weapon.
However, a mournful cry came from the green spear.
He looked closely and saw that the surface of the spear was covered with cracks.
He remembered.
I have been fighting for several months.
Most of his strength lies in this spear, so he was given special "favorable treatment" by the fallen cultivator.
His spear already had many cracks on it.
Until now, it has been completely unusable.
Even the spirit of the weapon has lost its spirituality.
If it is not properly nurtured, there is a risk of the spirit of the weapon dying.
In the distance, Gu He Chen Sha roared, "Fellow Daoist Jiang Mo, hold on, I'm coming to kill you!"
However, Gu He Chensha had only flown a thousand feet when he was stopped by several other fallen cultivators who had reached the state of Hedao.
Further away, from the void crack, more and more evil beasts continued to pour out like a tide.
Especially the dark locust.
This kind of evil beast is not big in size, but there are a lot of them.
When they gather in large groups, it is like a death storm on the battlefield.
It can even force back the Hedao monks.
The Demon-Subduing Lord was resisting attacks from all directions, and despair could not help but rise in his heart.
How many enemies are there?
When will the killing end?
It was at this time.
The dark locust swarm suddenly became manic.
They all stopped and looked in one direction, as if they were meeting their king!
Also at the same time.
Various changes have occurred in their bodies.
The elytra became longer, the carapace thicker, the forearms sharper, the hind legs more powerful...
It's a complete all-round enhancement!
"It must be the Dark Locust Ancestor of Disasters who has appeared! It must be the Ancestor of Disasters who has appeared!"
"I won't fight anymore! I surrender! Please spare my life!"
When a cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm saw this scene, his heart was completely shrouded in the shadow of despair.
He actually threw down the magic treasure, knelt on the ground, and cried bitterly.
His ending is self-evident.
A swarm of dark locusts pounced on it.
When they dispersed again, there was nothing there except some scraps of clothing.
The whole process takes no more than five breaths.
The flesh, tendons, bones... were all eaten up by the dark locusts.
The panicked cry of this Void-Refining cultivator before his death also reached the ears of other Immortal Alliance cultivators.
The ancestor of disaster... the ancestor of disaster of dark locusts...
That's a terrible name.
But hasn't the Dark Locust Disaster Ancestor always been suppressed by the Sword Master?
How is it possible to escape?
They didn't want to believe it.
But such a huge improvement in Dark Locust's ability suddenly was obviously not something that an ordinary person could achieve.
However, even though they were a little shaken in their hearts, they remained steadfast and stayed at their posts.
Some people guard the formation, some activate magic weapons, and some release spells.
There are even more people refining pills and drawing talismans in the back.
Large quantities of elixirs and talismans were sent to the front line for consumption by the monks at the front.
The Tiandao Immortal Alliance has been fighting against the Xutian Fallen Sect for so many years. If they were all surrenderists and cowards, they would have been destroyed countless times.
In comparison, the Xutian Fallen Sect was even more excited.
Huang Chong was overjoyed. "It must be the Dark Locust Saint Ancestor who has appeared! My men, attack with all your might. We must kill all the Immortal Alliance cultivators before the Saint Ancestor arrives!"
The other Hedao priests could not hide their excitement.
The most important goal of their attack on Youxu this time is to help the Dark Locust Saint escape from trouble.
Now it's finally successful.
Of course they are excited and happy!
However, their joy did not last long.
The dark locust, which was as energetic as a chicken with its blood injected just now, immediately wilted away at a rapid speed.
In a blink of an eye, it became more than 30% to 40% weaker than before the change.
It was as if the backbone was pulled out in an instant by an invisible great hand!
The dark locusts wailed continuously.
No desire to fight at all.
Even without the Immortal Alliance monks taking action, they kept falling to the ground, spewing yellow fluid from their mouths.
He is actually dead.
The monks of the Immortal Alliance were extremely shocked.
The Fallen Cult monks were also shocked.
what happened?
Didn't the Dark Locust Saint Ancestor already fight his way out of the Emperor Destruction Valley?
Logically speaking, it should be smooth sailing all the way.
Could it be that...
The Dark Locust Saint felt something was wrong and went back?
Huang Chong, Yin Tianying and Song Dengtian looked at each other and saw suspicion in each other's eyes.
It was at this time.
A voice erupted.
"The ancestor of the Dark Locust disaster has fallen!"
This familiar voice spread throughout the ruins, echoing continuously.
All the Heavenly Kings of the Immortal Alliance were stunned when they heard this.
The next moment, they were all ecstatic and burst out with a word.
"kill!"
The immortal alliance's celestial monarchs were located in four void cracks and battlefields.
But the moment I heard the voice, I realized it was not fake.
Because the terrain of Youxu is special.
Except for the Heavenly Venerable who has transcended tribulations, it is almost impossible for a cultivator of the Hedao Sect to spread his voice throughout the entire Nether Ruins by infusing spiritual power.
So far, there is only one person who has mastered this method.
That is Chu Xuan who possesses the Youxiantan.
During the battle at Youxiantan Plain, Chu Xuan captured Youxiantan and used it to spread his voice throughout Youxu, inspiring countless cultivators of the Immortal Alliance.
If Chu Xuan had not spread his voice in time and publicized the failure of Xutian's plan to fall into the sect.
I am afraid that many monks of the Immortal Alliance will become desperate because they cannot see the way forward and die in battle early.
This time, hearing this familiar voice, coupled with the dark locusts' collective listlessness and despair, they were particularly excited.
The ancestor of the dark locust disaster has really fallen!
In comparison.
The fallen cultivators and evil beasts of the Xutian Fallen Sect were terrified.
Huang Chong's entire body was trembling. "How is this possible... The Holy Ancestor had just fought his way out of the Emperor Destroying Valley, how could he have perished!"
"He should lead us to victory in this war!"
Yin Tianying, Song Dengtian and others looked at each other and found it unbelievable.
They also remember that voice.
Even if you don't remember, you can guess it.
After all, among the Hedao cultivators, only Chu Xuan, who possesses the Youxiantan, can do this.
But…why?
Chu Xuan, the only variable, hasn't he been recovering his strength in the cave?
How dare he show up?
Aren't you afraid that the changes in your body will be discovered by other immortal alliance monks?
But even if he showed up.
How did the Dark Locust Saint fall?
That's the Holy Ancestor!
A person at the level of the Heavenly Lord who transcends tribulation!
The creatures at the end of the road!
How could he fall at the hands of a young cultivator in the Hedao stage!
Mu Rongku, the chief priest on the other side, was heartbroken. "What on earth happened? Didn't they say there would be no accidents this time?"
No one dared to answer his question.
Ordinary fallen cultivators may not know this, but they, the chief priests of the Hedao, have already known it.
No one knows what kind of fate Chu Xuan has. As long as this person is involved in something, everything that follows will become shrouded in mystery.
Even Yu Zun, who was well versed in divination, could only get fragmented pictures.
The divinations drawn from these images cannot be fully trusted.
Sometimes it may even go in the opposite direction.
After Chu Xuan's voice spread throughout the Nether Ruins, all the fallen cultivators became confused and their fighting spirit suddenly weakened.
Most of the evil beasts were not that intelligent, but they became panicked when they saw the dark locusts wilting instantly and falling to the ground in large numbers.
As for the astonishingly intelligent beast like Yuanlong, it was even more aware of the abnormality. It fought and retreated, gradually retreating to the crack in the void.
Song Dengtian took a deep breath and shouted, "No retreat!"
"The death of the Holy Ancestor must be a lie told by the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance!"
"We still hold the upper hand. Charge forward and annihilate all the Immortal Alliance cultivators!"
Yin Tianying glanced at him again and nodded, "All monks of the Shadow Sect are to supervise the battle. No monks are allowed to retreat. Anyone who disobeys this order will be executed!"
His voice was not loud, but it echoed throughout the battlefield.
All the shadow monks immediately transformed into a supervisory team, staring intently at the monks of other sects around them.
Anyone who shows any sign of retreating will be killed immediately without mercy.
Upon seeing this, the leaders of the evil beasts, such as Yuanlong, roared and scolded the other evil beasts that were preparing to retreat.
For a moment, this trend of retreat was forcibly suppressed.
The Demon-Subduing Lord sighed in his heart.
Xutian Fallen Sect has already suffered a loss once.
This time when they encountered the same trick, their morale did not drop significantly, and they did not suffer a crushing defeat.
Instead, the situation was largely maintained under the strong suppression of several Hedao priests.
In this case, it is now a complete head-on confrontation, and there is nothing more to say.
Right now.
Three figures arrived at the battlefield.
This battlefield is located 16,000 feet underground in the ruins.
It is also the deepest battlefield.
The two Hedao monks from the Tiandao Immortal Alliance who are guarding this place are Jiefeng Tianjun and Jushan Tianjun.
The enemies they faced were He Hongzhang, the chief priest of the Guimu Sect, and Ouyang Yan, the chief priest of the Anri Sect.
Although the Guimu Clan is a powerful clan, they have always served the Blood Realm Suppressing Tree and rarely responded to the call of the Guimu Sect, which indirectly led to the decline of the Guimu Sect.
Although He Hongzhang is the chief priest of the Guimu Sect, he is not in the perfect state of Hedao, but is only in the late stage of Hedao.
The original chief priest of the Dark Sun Sect was Zheng Aeyue. When the Immortal Heavenly Lord was plotting against Ao Lin, he also sent Zheng Aeyue away.
Ouyang Yan, the current Dark Sun Priest, was formerly a disciple of Zheng Eyue. He was infused with power and was promoted to the He Dao.
Therefore, his realm is not high, just the middle stage of Hedao.
but.
In addition to these two chief priests, the Xutian Fallen Sect also has four Hedao chief priests and twelve pseudo-Hedao chief priests.
The chief priest of Xutian Fallen Sect is usually a Lianxu cultivator.
But there is only one chief sacrifice after all.
Therefore, many fallen cultivators who have broken through to the state of Hedao can only serve as the main priest.
Moreover, in addition to these fallen cultivators of the Hedao realm, there are also three shadow monsters in the middle stage of the Hedao realm.
Shadow demons are natural hiders and assassins.
The shadow demon in the middle stage of Hedao can play a role that is no less than that of a cultivator in the late stage of Hedao.
After all, they either don't take action, or if they do, it will result in bloodshed.
The lion glaring in the light is not scary.
What is scary is the poisonous snake hiding in the darkness and waiting for an opportunity to strike!
In this way, on this battlefield, the Xutian Fallen Sect still suppressed the Immortal Alliance cultivators.
The sound of the Dark Locust Ancestor's death also reached this battlefield.
However, Ouyang Yan and He Hongzhang responded to the situation and also temporarily formed a supervision team.
Anyone who retreats will be killed immediately without mercy.
It also stopped the decline.
In fact, even though their morale was greatly reduced, the cultivators of Xutian Luojiao still had the advantage.
Even if it's smooth sailing, you can still win.
Chu Xuan and the other two did not arrive at the last moment.
The scenes that appear at the last minute or even the last second are usually plots in novels.
In reality, there aren't that many plots where cards appear at critical moments.
When Chu Xuan and the other two arrived, Jifeng Tianjun and Jushan Tianjun were struggling to hold on, but it was not yet the final moment of despair.
boom!
Flames suddenly fell from the sky and burned into the battlefield from the east.
Wherever it passed, the evil beasts wailed and were burned to ashes.
The cold river water roared in and poured into the battlefield from the west.
Wherever he passed, fallen cultivators felt like they were falling into an ice cave and melted into nothingness on the spot.
The dragon's roar also became more and more exciting.
A huge figure over four meters tall crashed into the battlefield.
It was like a meteorite falling from the sky, shaking the dust and shocking everyone!
Seeing this sudden scene, not only He Hongzhang and Ouyang Yan were extremely surprised.
Even Lord Jifeng and Lord Jushan were stunned.
Reinforcements?
I've never heard that our Tiandao Immortal Alliance has any spare reinforcements.
Oh... maybe there is.
Jushan Tianjun scratched his head and said, "Could it be Henry Chu?"
"It is said that he tamed an innate spiritual fire. Maybe it really is him."
"However, I remember that he seemed to be still in seclusion..."
Jie Feng Tianjun frowned, "Retreat? Pretend to retreat, but really just avoid fighting."
"Before this battle, I was planning to make a breakthrough to the late stage of He Dao. Everything was ready except for the right time. But didn't I stop at the last minute and come to join the battle?"
"Can Chu Xuan's affairs alone be as important as the affairs of the entire Immortal Alliance?"
"How could he possibly show up to fight? Absolutely not."
Giant Mountain Heavenly Monarch nodded, "That's right."
"But that voice just now..."
Jie Feng Tianjun murmured, "Perhaps it was Tianzun's instruction that made Chu Xuan say this reluctantly."
"After all, he has mastered the Nether Immortal Tan. Under the Heavenly Venerable, he is the only one who can spread the sound throughout the Nether Ruins."
"Although I don't like this person, I admit that his words can indeed greatly reduce the morale of the Xutian Fallen Sect."
Giant Mountain Heavenly Monarch nodded, "Who are these reinforcements? They make me itch."
Both of them squinted their eyes and looked.
Then the figure that was more than four meters tall stood up.
With a fierce punch, he smashed the two pseudo-harmony cultivators who rushed towards him into pieces.
His fist hadn't even landed yet when he smashed the enemy into pieces.
This kind of force is simply shocking.
"I've never seen this person before, and he doesn't look like a serious monk."
When the Giant Mountain Lord saw the strange features on Shang Tianjue's body, his face became solemn.
Although the Hun Tian Zhan Sect is not as extreme as the Kun Lun Sword Sect, it does not like to fall into the trap of cultivation.
Immediately afterwards, two more figures appeared.
A man stepped on the icy river water, like the master of water, overlooking the fallen beast.
The other person was surrounded by black and red flames, like the supreme fire in the world.
The former's face was quite unfamiliar, they had never seen him before.
Moreover, if one only observes the aura, it seems that he has only reached the perfection of refining the void, but is not in harmony with the Tao.
But they were all too familiar with the latter's appearance.
Isn't it Chu Xuan?
Lord Jiefeng was stunned for a moment and then fell silent.
I also felt a burning pain on my face.
He just said that Chu Xuan was pretending to be in seclusion but was actually avoiding war.
Finally, he actually showed up.
And once he strikes, he uses innate spiritual fire to cleanse away filth.
As soon as he appeared, the balance of victory tilted towards the Immortal Alliance.
"There's no point in talking any more, just get started."
Chu Xuan looked at the two of them, without saying much, but rushed straight towards Ouyang Yan.
Ouyang Yan was shocked when he saw that the other person was really Henry Chu.
Didn't they say that this only variable is unlikely to appear?
How did it appear out of nowhere?
It seems that the strength is much stronger.
However, Ouyang Yan did not retreat, but an idea arose in his heart.
"I'm in the middle stage of Hedao, and he should still be in the early stage of Hedao. I might be able to defeat him..."
The thought hasn't settled yet.
Chu Xuan was already there.
Two dragon spirits, one black and one white, shot out like lightning, blocking Ouyang Yan's space to move and dodge.
Before Ouyang Yan could react.
Black python-like chains whistled out.
A ferocious bald head emerged from it, grinning grimly as he used the chains to bind him tightly.
There was a click.
His body was directly crushed!
All the flesh and blood were burned to ashes by the Netherworld fire.
In the firelight, Ouyang Yan hid his remaining soul in the Dark Sun Dharma Seed and tried to escape.
Suddenly, a suction force came from Chu Xuan's waist.
With the help of the violent flames of the Netherworld Fire, the tiny Dark Sun Seed was easily sucked away.
When the Netherworld Fire dissipated, there was nothing left at the place.
The entire process of beheading Ouyang Yan, the leader of the Dark Sun Sacrifice, took no more than ten breaths.
It's astonishingly fast!
He Hongzhang was dumbfounded.
Where is Ouyang Yan?
What about Ouyang Yan who is so big?
That is a Hedao monk.
Not just any cat or dog!
At this moment, He Hongzhang felt cold all over.
It's so scary.
Chu Xuan's strength improved too quickly.
It seems that he is only in the initial stage of He Dao.
How could he easily kill Ouyang Yan, who was in the middle stage of Hedao, in seconds?
Thinking of this, he had no intention of fighting alone, and immediately took a step back and retreated among the other Hedao monks.
They hoped that with their large numbers, they might be able to force Chu Xuan back.
This scene was seen by Lord Jifeng and Lord Jushan, shocking them greatly.
ah?
They had fought with Ouyang Yan before, but the outcome was inconclusive.
Why did Ouyang Yan suddenly become so weak when Chu Xuan arrived?
Died in an instant?
Lord Jiefeng suddenly felt a little dizzy.
Could it be that Henry Chu has some special magical power?
As long as you get close to him, your strength will weaken?
Jushan Tianjun scratched the back of his head and said, "If nothing else, Henry Chu's strength is really fierce."
"No wonder he hasn't come out of seclusion yet. If it were me, I wouldn't want to stop if my strength could be improved so much."
Jie Feng Tianjun gave a bitter smile and said, "Let's take action as well. Join forces with Chu Xuan and the others to get rid of these fallen cultivators and evil beasts as soon as possible."
The Great Mountain Lord nodded immediately.
If you don't act now, when will you act?
The brothers Shang Xingchen and Shang Tianjue also eliminated a pseudo-Hedao each at this time.
Seeing Chu Xuan kill Ouyang Yan, the leader of the Dark Sun Ceremony, so easily, everyone was surprised.
The reason why they can deal with pseudo-Hedao and even Hedao is because they themselves are very special.
Shang Xingchen is the spirit of the ancient Styx.
Shang Tianjue is the soul of Xu Long.
His own realm is only the perfect realm of refining emptiness, but the power he controls is already enough to fight against the power of Hehe Dao.
But Chu Xuan...
"No wonder Master often sighs with emotion, Chu Xuan is indeed an amazing genius."
Shang Xingchen sighed in his heart.
As He Hongzhang watched more and more pseudo-Hedaos fall into the hands of Chu Xuan and the other two, a shadow gradually shrouded his heart.
We clearly had a big advantage just now.
How come the situation was reversed immediately after these three people arrived?
He gritted his teeth and looked at the only three remaining Hedao people around him.
And the shadow demon in the Hedao period that constantly roams around the edge of the battlefield.
He suddenly pointed at Jiefeng Tianjun and said in a deep voice, "Attack with all your strength, surround and kill the weakest one, and break out from there!"
The three chief priests of Hedao nodded solemnly.
The three shadow monsters could not speak, but they understood what He Hongzhang said, and pointed the daggers in their hands at Jiefeng Tianjun.
He Hongzhang was the first to rush out.
He directly spewed out the magic seed, which expanded rapidly and manifested ghost eyes.
The ghost eyes swept across the entire place, and all the immortal alliance monks were terrified wherever they passed, and retreated involuntarily.
Jie Feng Tianjun cursed inwardly and immediately activated his own Taoist weapon to protect himself.
What's the meaning.
Am I the weakest?
Also at the same moment.
Three fallen cultivators of Hedao suddenly surrounded Chu Xuan from three directions.
Although they belong to different sects.
But he is a cultivator in the Hedao stage after all.
When he saw He Hongzhang's eyes, he immediately understood.
The person He Hongzhang wanted to kill was not Jiefeng Tianjun, but Chu Xuan.
The roar just now was just a feint.
The real target is Henry Chu!
As long as Chu Xuan can be killed, it will be an unprecedented achievement.
Even if they die, the Holy Lord and the Holy Ancestor will resurrect them!
