"what happened?"
"What's going on? Where is that person from Tianyu Sect?"
What should we do now?
...
When Mohao was imprisoned in the world, all the other beings gathered in Tianzhou were thrown into chaos.
They were originally in despair, and many of them were even prepared to die, but they suddenly found that Mo Hao had disappeared and was replaced by a... large formation?
They were unsure what was appearing before them.
It appeared out of thin air, its entire body gray, without any warning, and enveloped the unsuspecting Mo Hao.
To isolate the inside from the outside.
They couldn't see anything inside, nor did they know who had created this enormous gray sphere.
All they knew was that this thing looked somewhat like an array.
The creatures of the desolate region wanted to take this opportunity to escape, but considering the power of the Tianyu Sect and the God Kings and God Emperors scattered throughout the major cities of the desolate region, they couldn't help but hesitate.
Buzz—
Suddenly, just as they were filled with doubt and hesitation, an enormous array rose out of thin air and enveloped all of them.
"Who? Who is it?"
"Why is this formation trapping us?"
"Could it be that the powerful figure in the shadows isn't here to save us?"
"Save us? Who do you think we are? And who can save us?"
...
The appearance of this formation caused all living beings to feel fear and unease.
They don't know what this means.
If the powerful figure in the shadows was clearly targeting Mo Hao, why would they imprison all of their creatures?
Swish, swish, swish!
Suddenly, figures appeared out of thin air in mid-air, looking down at them.
One of the women looked at them coldly and said, "We are from the Immortal Sect. We came here today with our sect leader to rescue you. However, now that the Heavenly Universe Sect knows about the Desolate Region, you are no longer suitable to live there. At least... not for the time being!"
"Therefore, the Immortal Sect will take you into its small world and let you live there temporarily to ensure your safety. Are you willing?"
After speaking, He Yuanshuang looked coldly at the beings of the desolate region.
He Yuanshuang showed no kindness towards these creatures, appearing quite indifferent.
Because they were coerced by the Tianyu Sect, they hurled all sorts of insults and curses at Lu Tao. In particular, the curses would have had a significant impact on him if his husband hadn't possessed the power of merit.
It would be strange if she gave them a friendly look.
"We are willing!"
"Yes, quick, take us away! The Tianyu Sect is too terrifying; they're not even human!"
“We are willing, we are willing to enter the small world to live.”
...
“I…I don’t want to. I still want to live in the wasteland.”
"Me too……"
"I don't want to hide..."
...
More than 90% of the creatures are willing to enter the small world, while a small number of creatures are unwilling to leave the desolate region.
"snort!"
Looking at these creatures, He Yuanshuang's expression grew even colder. She uttered a single word indifferently, "Kill!"
"yes!"
The next instant, the other Immortal Sect disciples sprang into action, charging into the horde of creatures and killing one after another who uttered 'unwilling'.
"No, I do!"
"Don't kill me, I'm willing, I'm willing to enter the small world."
"Spare me! I only cursed Sect Leader Lu and was afraid of your revenge. I'm willing, I'm willing..."
...
As one life after another fell, a large number of people died or were injured in Tianzhou in an instant.
But the sharp-eyed creatures noticed that even though many creatures also chose 'unwilling,' the disciples of the Immortal Sect did not raise their swords against them.
Then, after careful consideration, they realized that the only difference between these living beings and those who had died was that... when they were cursing and hurling insults at Sect Master Lu, they didn't seem to be so sincere.
In other words, those who died were the ones who cursed Sect Master Lu the most.
soon.
The Immortal Sect disciple sheathed his sword, flew coldly into the air, and continued to watch over the group of living beings.
"It seems everyone has made their choice."
He Yuanshuang coldly looked at the crowd and continued, "However, you must remember that it was my Immortal Sect that saved you. You cannot fail to repay this life-saving grace."
"After you enter the small world, you will need to kneel and worship Sect Master Lu day and night, contributing your faith power. If any of you are not devout, don't blame the Immortal Sect for showing no mercy. I'm sure you don't want to end up like them."
As she spoke, He Yuanshuang's gaze swept over the fallen creatures, a sight that filled the other creatures with terror.
He Yuanshuang's icy voice continued: "Don't think I don't know what you've done. Most of you cultivators have cursed my husband. If you don't kneel and worship sincerely in the small world, don't think I'll give you a way out."
Looking at the bewildered creatures, He Yuanshuang couldn't help but offer a word of comfort: "Other cultivators don't need to worry either. My Immortal Sect is not an evil force. As long as you follow the rules, once these matters are settled, you will be able to return to the Desolate Region and continue living."
"Yes, thank you, Madam Sect Master!"
"Thank you for saving our lives, Madam Sect Leader! We will definitely become the Sect Leader's best followers!"
"Thank you, Immortal Sect! Thank you, Sect Master Lu!"
...
The people, already filled with fear and despair, now had no other thoughts in their minds after experiencing another massacre.
Even if they were taken into a small world and unable to cultivate, forced to remain believers and continuously contribute their faith power to the Immortal Sect Master, they still chose to agree.
Because of them, we have no other choice.
He Yuanshuang nodded silently and said, "Alright, don't resist, I'll take you into the small world!"
After saying this, He Yuanshuang instructed Rule World No. 1 to begin collecting the creatures of Tianzhou.
Buzz—
Tianzhou is vast and teeming with life, but fortunately, Rule World No. 1 is no weakling either, already a mid-level rule world, making it easy for it to encompass the mere Tianzhou.
Even taking away billions of lives seems effortless.
certainly.
The key is that they don't resist. If they did resist, it would probably not be easy to collect them all.
Swish, swish, swish!
Vast numbers of living beings were successively taken away by the No. 1 rule world.
In just a few dozen breaths, all living beings within the Tianzhou territory vanished without a trace.
but.
Even so, some beings still chose to stay and resisted the taking over by the Rule 1 world.
He Yuanshuang's cold gaze swept over them, as if she were about to give the order to kill them.
Those creatures immediately shuddered, and several powerful God-Kings hurriedly said, "Sect Master's wife, please stop for now!"
One of the white rock giant rhinoceroses quickly explained, "Sect Master's wife, I have never cursed Sect Master Lu, nor have I ever spoken ill of the Immortal Sect. Although I know that the Immortal Sect took us into the small world for our own good, I still want to stay in the Desolate Region. I hope that Sect Master's wife will grant my request."
"Of course, I must repay the Immortal Sect's life-saving grace. I am willing to offer a reward, and I hope the Sect Master's wife will not find it offensive."
As it spoke, it had already taken out a spatial artifact and handed it to He Yuanshuang from a distance.
Unexpectedly, He Yuanshuang's expression remained cold, and without saying a word, she raised her hand and swung her sword at the White Rock Giant Rhinoceros.
Sizzle!
A sword swept across the sky, cleaving towards the White Rock Giant Rhinoceros from thousands of miles away.
"not good!"
The white rock giant rhinoceros was horrified. It never expected that the sect leader's wife of the Immortal Sect would launch a killing move against it without saying a word.
Even though I've already paid them, why can't they let me off the hook?
It instinctively tried to dodge the seemingly ordinary sword strike, but was shocked to find that the sword technique was too fast and too powerful, giving it no chance to dodge at all.
"Stop them!"
It opened its mouth and unleashed a powerful earth elemental force to meet the sword technique head-on, but...
With a hissing sound.
The sword shadow pierced through the rules of earth and then struck the white rock giant rhinoceros, which had not yet reacted.
puff!
This sword strike pierced through the entire skull of the White Rock Giant Rhinoceros, instantly killing its soul.
Their souls were scattered!
"snort!"
He Yuanshuang snorted softly, but to the ears of other living beings, this sound was no different from a death knell.
Just as they were about to beg for mercy in fear, He Yuanshuang coldly said, "Our Immortal Sect risked exposure to save you, and you still don't appreciate it. What? Do you want to stay in the Desolate Region and betray our Immortal Sect to the Heavenly Universe Sect?"
No! Absolutely not!
"Our Lady of the Sect is wise; we absolutely had no such intention!"
"We have no disloyalty to the Immortal Sect, please spare our lives, Sect Master's wife!"
"I am willing to enter the Immortal Sect's small world!"
"I'd love to!"
...
Intimidated by He Yuanshuang's domineering presence, most of the remaining beings have agreed to enter the small world, but some remain silent.
Seeing this, He Yuanshuang smiled coldly, ordered Rule World No. 1 to take away the other beings who agreed, and then looked at the remaining beings, saying indifferently: "You... either enter the small world or die! Now you have three counts to choose!"
As soon as she finished speaking, He Yuanshuang counted down: "3..."
"Wait, I do!"
"We are willing to enter the small world!"
"We are willing to become followers of Sect Master Lu!"
...
The moment the word '3' was uttered, the remaining beings unanimously agreed to enter the small world, no longer harboring any illusions.
"snort!"
He Yuanshuang snorted coldly and gestured for Rule World No. 1 to do its job.
In the blink of an eye, within the Tianzhou territory, those beings originally gathered by the Tianyu Sect either died or were swiftly absorbed into the world of rules by He Yuanshuang.
She did this mainly for the safety of the Immortal Sect.
The Immortal Sect's intervention to save the people of the desolate region and capture Mo Hao alive was extremely risky.
and.
This risk is still based on the possibility that the Immortal Sect might attract the attention of a God Emperor at the Perfected Stage or a Saint. A God Emperor at the Perfected Stage is not a big deal, but a Saint is the key.
Under such circumstances, He Yuanshuang cannot afford to show any mercy.
Lu Tao's plan was to take away all the creatures of the desolate region before Elder Fu could react, and at the same time capture Mo Hao alive, creating the illusion that Mo Hao had disappeared for Elder Fu.
To achieve all this, it is essential to ensure that none of the creatures in the desolate region are left behind.
It needs to be included in the world.
Perfect, let them contribute their faith to Lu Tao, as a way of atoning for their curses against him.
After collecting all the living beings, He Yuanshuang gave another order, "Clean up."
"yes!"
The disciples immediately sprang into action.
With their cultivation at the God Emperor level, they easily cleaned up all traces of Tianzhou.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
At this moment, figures entered the formation and revealed themselves; they were other disciples of the Immortal Sect.
He Yuanshuang looked at them and asked, "How did things go?"
Li Shuyao bowed and said, "Reporting to Madam, all the other God-Kings and God-Emperors of the Tianyu Sect have been captured alive!"
"Okay, everyone go back."
He Yuanshuang nodded in satisfaction and dismissed her disciples to return to the world.
As for the Heavenly Kings and Emperors of the Heavenly Universe Sect who were captured alive, they were taken back to the world of rules by them in their own caves or small worlds.
After the disciples returned to the world, He Yuanshuang focused her attention on the gray sphere.
That is, Lu Tao's world.
Buzz!
Almost simultaneously, the gray sphere rapidly contracted and vanished from He Yuanshuang's sight in an instant. As the gray sphere disappeared, Lu Tao's figure appeared in front of He Yuanshuang.
"Walk!"
Lu Tao smiled gently at He Yuanshuang, and then the two of them put away the formation and erased all traces. Lu Tao then put He Yuanshuang into the No. 2 Great Thousand World.
He then concealed himself and flew towards the boundary wall.
call out!
Lu Tao altered his aura, making it chaotic and disordered, and quickly traversed the boundary wall.
In just ten breaths, Lu Tao passed through the boundary wall and left.
When leaving the boundary wall, Lu Tao put on an invisibility cloak to avoid being seen by other creatures.
"May you pray!"
Lu Tao, who was invisible, made several prayers and chose different places to ensure that he would not be discovered by other beings. He then took out the Interdimensional Passage and entered the Imperial Realm.
Then he plunged headlong into the vast world.
"Lu Tao!!!"
"Kill me if you dare!!!"
Lu Tao returned to his residence and retrieved the sealed Mo Hao.
At this moment, Mo Hao seemed to have resigned himself to his fate, roaring fiercely at Lu Tao, wanting nothing more than to die.
Lu Tao smiled gently and said, "Don't worry, I will kill you!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Mo Hao, who had been roaring incessantly, immediately broke down.
He found it hard to accept that he had been captured by a mere ant from the desolate region. He had originally thought that Lu Tao had captured him alive to exchange something with the Tianyu Sect or negotiate some terms.
He shouldn't die, so he naturally had to be more assertive in his words, but Lu Tao was now telling him that he was doomed.
How can Mohao accept this fact?
Mo Hao had already realized that Lu Tao only wanted the memories in his soul.
He immediately shouted sternly, "Lu Tao, don't even think about getting anything from my memories!"
"Yeah?"
Lu Tao chuckled and said, "Don't you like the Myriad Soul Banner? What a coincidence, I have one too!"
"No……"
Mo Hao roared in terror, but it did nothing to change the fact that he would be devoured by the Soul-Devouring Pearl.
certainly.
Lu Tao won't let Shan Yu devour him yet; he'll keep him around for a while longer.
Lu Tao put Mo Hao away and took out Elder Fu's Ten Thousand Soul Banner again.
"well!"
Sensing the eerie and terrifying atmosphere, Lu Tao couldn't help but sigh silently, "How many living beings must be inside!"
Through his spiritual senses, Lu Tao perceived that the number of beings within the Myriad Soul Banner had already exceeded hundreds of millions.
What made Lu Tao feel even more frustrated was...
Many of these beings were not devoured by the main soul, but were instead tormented.
For countless years, they have been enduring endless torment of their souls.
Only when their lifespan is exhausted, or when they collapse from the torment, will those souls be devoured by the main soul.
This also means...
Before their deaths, all the devoured souls suffered various forms of torment.
Perhaps, for them, death is a kind of relief.
The divine souls still alive within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner are all beings of considerable cultivation, including gods, divine lords, divine kings, and even many divine emperors.
As for those of slightly lower level, they have long since perished.
"Refine it for me!"
Lu Tao unleashed the Chaos Dao Embryo, which merged into the Myriad Souls Banner, engulfing Elder Fu's divine soul imprint on the banner.
"roar!!!"
The Myriad Souls Banner is an object with an owner. Even though it is now in Lu Tao's hands, it still roars fiercely, and the main soul within it rushes madly towards Lu Tao, as if trying to devour him.
but.
No matter how strong it is, how can it be stronger than Lu Tao's Chaos Dao Embryo?
Under the cover of the nascent Chaos Dao, the main soul could only obediently cower inside the Myriad Soul Banner.
As for Elder Fu's soul imprint, even though Elder Fu is a late-stage God Emperor, a soul imprint is still just an imprint.
As the nascent Chaos Dao was submerged, the divine soul imprint was gradually erased, a process that appeared very slow.
It wasn't that Lu Tao couldn't quickly erase it; rather, he did it intentionally.
In the blink of an eye.
Nearly three months have passed.
Buzz!
On this day, Lu Tao, who was cultivating, sensed that the Chaos Dao Embryo had completely erased the mark, and immediately woke up from his cultivation.
"Refine!"
Lu Tao's immense spiritual power entered the Myriad Soul Banner and began to refine it.
This time, without deliberately wasting time, Lu Tao quickly finished refining the Myriad Soul Banner.
"well!"
Sensing everything within the Myriad Soul Banner, Lu Tao couldn't help but sigh again.
He made the Ten Thousand Souls Banner stand in mid-air and instructed, "Number 2, take the Ten Thousand Souls Banner away and cleanse the evil aura in those souls inside through reincarnation, let them reincarnate; also, there is no need to deliberately improve their talent."
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Number 2 took the Myriad Soul Banner, and then asked, "What about the Sect Master's... main soul?"
"The same goes for the main soul."
"yes!"
——
"not good!"
At the same time, Elder Fu, who was mediating disputes around Yu Longtian, suddenly sensed that his Myriad Soul Banner was being refined, and his expression changed drastically.
"Mo Hao!"
Elder Fu subconsciously thought of Mo Hao, but felt it was impossible. Mo Hao would never have the guts. Besides, the power of the Myriad Soul Banner alone was something Mo Hao could not withstand.
But if it's not Mo Hao, then who is it?
He hurriedly sent a message to Mo Hao to inquire about the matter, but his message seemed to disappear into thin air, receiving no response whatsoever.
"Damn it! Another unexpected event has occurred in the desolate region!"
Elder Fu was furious. He no longer cared about the conflict between the three races, ignored the other God Emperors under his command, and frantically teleported away, disappearing into the boundary wall and heading towards the desolate region...
