Emperor Yu descended the Four Pillars: to suppress demons, exorcise devils, deliver ghosts, and slay immortals. From the Four Pillars, Four Gates were born: the Dao Gate to slay demons, the Buddhis...
Chapter 135: Ancestor, save me!
As an inner disciple of the Tianshan Sect, a second-rate sect, Su Changgou is not as arrogant as the outer disciples.
After all, on the first day he was selected as an inner disciple, he was told that the Tianshan Sect was heavily in debt and owed a lot of money to the Dayu Dynasty and some super sects. Even the Tianshan Mountain of the Tianshan Sect was rented from the Taoist sect.
In order to maintain the daily expenses of the sect, the inner disciples must risk their lives to be chivalrous and eradicate the monsters that are bred in Jingzhou by the influence of greed, anger, and ignorance.
Su Changgou really wanted to return to the outer sect, but there was no way. Just a second ago, he swore to the statue of the Tianshan Sect's ancestor that he would fulfill the responsibilities of an inner sect disciple.
Now, after several years, Su Changgou has almost become accustomed to this lifestyle.
Today, his mission is to take a few outer disciples to kill monsters in the Demon Plain.
"My fellow outer disciples, this is the Demon-Falling Plains. I..."
"Brother, why is this place called the Demon Plain?"
Su Changgou was not happy.
How can an outer disciple interrupt an inner disciple when he is talking?!
Su Changgou looked towards the person who was speaking.
It turned out that he was the grandson of the great elder.
That's okay.
Su Changgou suddenly had infinite patience.
"Junior brother, ten thousand years ago, this place was just an ordinary plain."
“But one day, a demon at the peak of its fusion state emerged from the Naraku Demon Abyss and fought bloody battles with the cultivators of the Dayu Dynasty and the mighty men of the Taoist sect all the way to this place.”
"This monster is extraordinary. Although it has not yet broken through the tribulation, it is extremely ferocious. It uses thunder magic to attract heavenly tribulations. After countless heavenly tribulations, a world has been nurtured in its body. Facing the siege of several cultivators at the peak of the fusion stage, it becomes more and more courageous, and even attracts heavenly tribulations in an attempt to become a monster that can cross the tribulation in the bloody battle."
"In the end, even the powerful beings in the Tribulation Crossing Stage were alarmed."
"The three Tribulation Crossing Stages attacked at the same time and killed the monster, but the monster had already surpassed the Tribulation Crossing Stage when it died. Although it died, the monster world that was nurtured by its body was already formed."
"Because that monster has endured too many heavenly tribulations, that part of the monster world has been recognized by the Heavenly Dao. Even those people who have crossed the tribulation period cannot destroy it, so they have to seal it as a monster star and lock it in the sky. Every once in a while, a monster bred by the monster star will fall, and even if there are no mortals living in the place covered by the monster star, monsters will be born."
“So this place got the name Luo Yao.”
Su Changgou raised his finger, reciting what was in the book as if he had experienced it personally, while the outer disciples had admiration on their faces, imagining the scene of the tribulation-crossing great man fighting.
"Brother...can the monster still use thunder magic?" An outer disciple was puzzled.
Su Changgou put his hands behind his back, "This is natural, but monsters are different species, not tolerated by heaven and earth. Once they use thunder magic, they may cause the heaven to send down a heavenly calamity. Ordinary monsters will almost die if they are hit by a heavenly calamity. However, there are some monsters with extraordinary talents, like the monster star, who actively trigger a heavenly calamity to train themselves."
"Whoever bears enough heavenly tribulations will gain more recognition from the heavens, and his combat power will also be stronger."
"This is the hierarchy among the great tribulation masters."
At this time, the grandson of the great elder spoke again, "Brother, this Demon-falling Plain has such a great origin, there won't be any accidents when we kill the demon this time, right?"
Su Changgou wants to show off. Don't be afraid if he says a few words to me. Brother can kill demons as easily as butchering dogs. Just rest assured.
But the person in front of him is the grandson of the Great Elder, and there is a chance that he will tell the Great Elder what happened on this trip.
If the Great Elder knew that his inner sect disciple said that he could kill demons as easily as butchering dogs, he would definitely believe it with great joy and would then give him more demon-killing missions.
Legend has it that the former eldest senior brother of the inner sect was sent away in this way.
"Don't panic, fellow disciples. This Fallen Demon Plain is divided into three circles: outer, middle and inner. The further inward you go, the more dangerous monsters there are. We are now in the outer circle, where there are only a few Golden Core Stage monsters."
"Those monsters all have their own territories. Unless something special happens..."
"boom--"
A roar broke the silence, accompanied by an earth-shaking impact, the ground cracked and waves of earth rolled in.
Su Changgou, an early Jindan cultivator, immediately raised his hand to roll up the outer disciple, summoned his magic weapon, flew into the air, and looked towards the center of the earth wave.
In the center of the earth wave, a huge, iron-gray rhinoceros was roaring and shaking its head. Its horn, which seemed like a magical weapon, was emitting terrible waves, and every time its hoof landed on the ground, it seemed as if it would overturn the earth.
Su Changgou was horrified.
"A mid-stage Jindan Earth-shaking Rhino? We clearly haven't entered its territory!"
The outer disciples also realized the danger from Su Changgou's expression, and they all took out their magic weapons with nervous expressions.
"No - this Earthshaker Rhino is not targeting us!"
Su Changgou soon noticed something unusual. There was a figure sprinting at an extremely fast speed in front of the terrifying Earth-shaking Rhinoceros, and judging from the aura...
"Is it foundation building? No, it's Qi training... Hmm? Half a step to foundation building? No..."
Just when Su Changgou was confused by the young man's strange cultivation, the young man suddenly stopped and turned to face the Earth-Shaking Rhinoceros.
Su Changgou was shocked and was about to speak, but he saw the young man take a breath and straighten his chest.
A roar resounded through heaven and earth.
"Ancestor, save me!"
The roar was full of energy and filled with unparalleled confidence.
During this roar, Su Changgou's brain reflexively formed an image of a powerful man suddenly reaching out and slapping the Earth-Shaking Rhinoceros to death with one palm.
As a monster in the Jindan period, the Earth-Shaking Rhinoceros naturally had extremely high intelligence. The familiar cry for help scared the Earth-Shaking Rhinoceros so much that it braked instantly. Its mind went blank and it hallucinated itself being slapped to death.
However, there was no scene of a powerful man slapping the Earth-Shaking Rhinoceros to death with one slap. Instead, only a young man who had established his foundation went up and threw an ordinary punch at the head of the Earth-Shaking Rhinoceros.
"Bang--"
Nothing happened.
The Earth-Shaking Rhinoceros reacted and immediately became furious. Its stagnant golden elixir started to move again. Just as it was about to show its power, the young man roared again.
"Don't play with me, ancestor! Take action now!"
Could it be a cynical and powerful person?
Whether it was the Earth-Shaking Rhinoceros or Su Changgou in the sky, the corresponding images appeared in their minds again, but the powerful man who was awe-inspiring without anger turned into a cynical old naughty boy.
Another bang.
Still nothing happened.
The Earthshaker Rhinoceros became even angrier, and swore in his heart that no matter what the human in front of him shouted, he would not believe it this time. But before he could get angry, an arc of electricity flashed before his eyes.
"Hmph—you're already dead."
The young man turned around proudly and ran away.
Before Su Changgou and others could react, dazzling lightning burst out from the body of the Earth-Shaking Rhinoceros along with a shrill howl.
"What kind of magical power is this!?"
Su Changgou's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
As a Jindan cultivator, he could tell at a glance that this was the phenomenon of practicing thunder magic.
A demon, performing thunder magic on its own?
When Su Changgou was at a loss, the sky was covered with dark clouds and flashes of lightning.
The Earth-Shaking Rhinoceros, who was trying hard to suppress the thunder spirit energy in his body, was horrified and wailed to the sky.
"I'm not! I didn't!"
Amid the howling of the earth-shaking rhinoceros, the test from heaven - the heavenly calamity - fell.
For those in the Nascent Soul stage, this heavenly tribulation is not that tricky, but for the Earth-Shaking Rhinoceros, which is only in the middle Golden Core stage, this is a life-and-death tribulation that tests whether it has worked hard in its daily life, whether it has been lazy in its cultivation, or whether it has been cunning and treacherous.
Apparently, it didn't.
"boom--"
