The extremely hard scales rubbed against the rocks and the ground, making a slight clanging sound. It seemed that this passage was rarely used, and there were still some rocks that blocked the way. These stones, which had become extremely hard due to being soaked in yin and demonic energy, were instantly shattered into powder when the python swam past.
The basset snake is huge and swims very fast.
Qi Wuhuo, with a zither on his back and a sword in his hand, followed closely beside him with a golden light shining on the ground.
In this extremely deep underground cave, everything was quiet and peaceful. With the length of the Basagoton, the cave went deep into the ground. The demon clan's formation divided the mountains, but it was difficult to go so deep into the earth. Gradually, all the sounds from the outside world disappeared, whether it was the sound of burning flames, the demon clan's magical powers, or the rainstorm that seemed to wash away everything, all had gone away.
All that could be heard was the young Taoist's breathing.
And the rustling sound of hard scales scraping across rocks.
Qi Wuhuo felt at peace as he looked at the seemingly endless darkness in the distance and thought of many things.
A huge dragon corpse...huh?
Could it really be the demon king from eight thousand years ago?
In the current situation, the monsters are searching for him day and night in this series of mountains. Judging from the retreat of the high-level combat forces around, Hou Tu Huang Di Niangniang should indeed do as she wished and mobilize the gods of mountains and rivers to surround the monster world. However, she has not started a war. She has only been accumulating military strength to oppress the monsters.
In this way, the situation can be stabilized in a short period of time.
Before figuring out the movements of the Earth God, the demons will only be alert but will not take the initiative to attack.
The pressure on Qi Wuhuo's side was greatly reduced.
However, he was very clear that this was by no means a state that could last long.
The two sides are in confrontation and the situation is tense, like a full moon on a bowstring. It can be a temporary deterrent, but there are only two possible developments.
The arrow is on the string and must be shot, starting a catastrophe.
as well as--
The string is broken and the bow is broken.
Surround but don't attack, just pretend.
The reputation of the Earth God has plummeted since then.
Of course, according to Qi Wuhuo's deduction, the second development is almost impossible. Even if it happens, it is only temporary. Eventually, the gods will inevitably be unable to hold back their anger and rage and take action, which will eventually trigger a series of killing battles and lead to a catastrophe. If so, then the common people involved will not just be the demons...
Many gods on earth must have perished, and many demons also suffered casualties.
At that time, Qinyin Pavilion, Xiaopengcao, and Uncle Niu’s friends could not stay out of it.
If the demon race is defeated, the scattered demons will fall into the human world, with no worries and their hearts filled with madness.
There will inevitably be many crazy killings.
Such as Jinzhou.
Such as Zhongzhou...
Afterwards it will naturally trigger many other things, such as entering a vortex or walking into the abyss. The impact of this thing and the number of living beings affected will become larger and larger, directly sweeping across the six realms. The Buddhist sect, which is in a precarious peaceful state, the heavenly court where the Four Emperors are distracted, the human world where the Human Emperor has lost his position, and the underworld where Fengdu wants to attack and kill Yama will all be affected.
Countless people died.
When things turn upside down, who can stay out of it?
This is just the beginning of the catastrophe.
Only in this way can one understand the heaviness of a kalpa.
Qi Wuhuo seemed to have been able to glimpse such a scene: the world was burning in flames, countless lives were dying, and he saw the sorrow and despair that he had experienced being repeated in every place in the world. The scenes of his past experiences were like a flame burning in his heart, driving the actions of the young Taoist.
Because he has experienced such things, he doesn't want others to go through them.
Those who practice Taoism should have the heart to save others.
We should have the thought of saving the world.
Although his expression was calm, his heart was extremely tense.
After all, he actually knew that he had only delayed this situation, making it seem to become more intense, but it was actually safer than "Hou Tu Niangniang directly attacking the demon clan". He used the Four Imperials to clamp the Four Imperials and used the general trend to suppress the general trend. However, because of this, he was the only one who could move freely now.
Next, we must find a way to eliminate the disasters in the six realms and put an end to the catastrophe of this era.
"Why do you think there are so many fights in the world?"
Under the blazing Taikoo Mountains, the young Taoist suddenly asked in a low voice.
Bashe was puzzled.
The young Taoist smiled and said, "Nothing."
"Go on."
"I hope that it is really the body of the Dragon Emperor. I also hope that the Dragon Emperor can reverse the current situation..."
This corridor is a secret passage that leads directly from the outskirts of the forbidden land of the demon clan to the core area of the demon clan. In fact, it is extremely long. Even with the high-speed magical power like the golden light that flies across the earth, Qi Wuhuo still spent a long time before he reached the core of the forbidden mountains and rivers, and the passage began to go upward.
There is already a wind blowing.
Blowing down.
Qi Wuhuo slowed down his pace and suddenly said, "Reward the good and punish the evil."
"Yes, Lord."
"Go ahead and investigate."
"Yes, sir."
The sound of the zither strings rang out, and the two chief envoys of the 72 departments of rewarding good and punishing evil flew out from the strings, and then swept forward. The existence here was most likely the corpse of the Dragon King of the Dragon Clan. The reason why no one came to disturb his sleep in the past was because this vast mountain range was a forbidden place for the demon clan. No one was allowed to enter, and the demons did not dare to enter.
Now, the demon clan has almost exhausted all the land in the world to break into this place, set up formations, and isolate the mountains.
There will definitely be demons who discover this place.
There will definitely be big monsters who come here because of greed, seeking the truth, or just by chance.
The suspected remains of the Dragon Emperor and the immense divine will attached to them are enough to cause the monsters to fight each other frantically. Not to mention, the many great saints must know the situation here. Even if they don't come here in person, they will definitely have top juniors coming here. Judging from this, this must be an extremely dangerous place.
But I have to do it.
The wind blew back here, and the air was mixed with the smell of killing and blood.
Extremely rich.
The Blood River Sword on Qi Wuhuo's waist whistled loudly.
The python also seemed to be somewhat uneasy. It stuck out its tongue and made a hissing sound. Its scales opened and closed unsteadily. Its pair of dark golden pupils stared at the exit not far ahead. It was extremely alert. Qi Wuhuo glanced at the python and said, "You don't know how to conceal your breath. Your body is too big. Once you are discovered, it will be very dangerous."
"You go back first."
Bashe was uneasy, but still stared at Qi Wuhuo.
The young Taoist smiled gently, patted Him, and said, "Don't worry about me."
"You are still injured, and I am very grateful that you can bring me here."
"Besides, you are so huge. If you are discovered, won't we all be in trouble?"
The Basher was persuaded, and as a member of the dragon snake family, it seemed to be under great suppression here. Its body trembled slightly due to the suppression of its blood and natural fear. So it nodded and retreated quietly, but it did not seem to retreat far, and was within the range and distance that the Basher could reach in a few breaths.
After thinking about it, he realized that he might implicate Qi Wuhuo because of his vigorous blood and energy.
So he retreated cautiously again.
He stepped back again.
Only then did he feel relieved, lying on the ground, his pair of dark golden eyes widened as he stared at the young Taoist in front of him. The latter smiled slightly, then turned around and walked up step by step. He was wearing the [Zhou Jue Yin Tian Fu], his own aura was greatly suppressed, and with the help of the Dao Lord's breath-retaining method, he approached silently, stood in this hidden cave and looked out. At just one glance, he saw the Dragon Emperor, whom he had met once before, and his expression was slightly moved.
huge!
Magnificent!
It can even be said that its magnificence is difficult to describe in words!
A huge golden dragon stood among the mountains. When Qi Wuhuo fell from the sky earlier, he could clearly see this dragon in the sky. He could clearly see the dragon's charm and had guessed how huge its true form was, which definitely exceeded his imagination. However, when he really came over, he was still shocked by the Dragon King.
The gigantic, three hundred li long python was nothing more than a stunted child in front of the Dragon King.
There are mountains under its body, its eyes are like stars, clouds only flow under its dragon head, and every scale is as bright as gold. After thousands and millions of years of erosion, there is not the slightest change. Its extremely strong divine will makes people's vision a little blurred. Its existence is like the blazing sun, occupying the center. Among all things, nothing can surpass its charm!
Even for Qi Wuhuo, it took him dozens of breaths before the shaking stopped.
"This is... the Dragon Emperor?"
"No wonder the python was so frightened that it couldn't even move."
"They are all dragons and snakes. I'm afraid what he saw is more and more magnificent than what I saw."
At this time, Qi Wuhuo shifted his gaze away from the Dragon Emperor and noticed that there were indeed a large number of monsters here, but most of them were already corpses, lying on the ground, no longer breathing, with injuries on their bodies, some from burning, some from thunder, some from ice, and so on. They fell to the ground in an extremely tragic state, with fear in their eyes.
There was also the sound of dragon roars, which never ceased to be heard.
The young Taoist saw that in the clouds surrounding the extremely tall and majestic Dragon Emperor, there were dragons flying in the clouds and dancing beside the Dragon Emperor. In fact, these dragons were all huge, with scales like chariots, bodies as long as rivers, and blue dragon roars, but next to the Dragon Emperor's real body, they seemed so ordinary.
Even so!
However, the dragons were boiling in the nine heavens, circling and dancing, raising their heads and roaring. The sound of the dragons’ roars shook the entire world.
Its sound is majestic and its rhythm is solemn.
It is for sacrifice, for praying to heaven, and for summoning spirits!
Ancient and vast, it carries the grandeur and heart-stirring sense of ancient power of the Second Tribulation Era.
Then all the spirits stood up, all things appeared, and the whole heaven and earth seemed to freeze, quietly watching this majestic and magnificent scene.
Qi Wuhuo was shocked by the magnificence, but soon realized what it was:
"A group of dragons are dancing... Is this a ritual of the dragon clan?"
"Well, this is the characteristic of the second calamity era..."
Qi Wuhuo can distinguish the characteristics of all rituals from the second kalpa to the fifth kalpa.
And be able to recognize most of the characters and understand most of the ancient and lost characters within these four kalpas.
Naturally, these are all encompassed by the word "foundation" as mentioned by Qingyu Taoist.
If you don’t understand the language and rituals, how can you communicate, go out, and travel around the world? !
The young Taoist's accomplishments can only be described as "trash", "stupid", "know nothing", "haha"...
Finally, it was upgraded to the evaluation of "barely" and "okay".
Not even a word of "good" can be heard.
But when the young Taoist was disappointed and regretful, he discovered that the Mother Taiyuan had an expression as if she had seen a ghost.
But despite this, Taoist Qingyu's foundation seems to be different from that of other creatures. Qi Wuhuo recognized the tune of the dragon clan's long chant. The ancient words in it have many meanings such as revival, ancestors, and respect. This is a ritual used to recall the souls of ancestors, or to offer sacrifices to the immortal souls.
"It's the Dragon Clan. Sure enough, their clan has records of the Forbidden Mountains. So the Dragon Saint among the Dragon Clan obeyed the order of the Demon King in order to open the Forbidden Mountains and take away the souls of the ancestors..." The young Taoist retracted his gaze and swept across the corpses and broken weapons on the ground:
"It seems that there has been one, no, several battles here before."
"It was a group of monsters who first discovered this place. They wanted to knock off the Dragon Emperor's scales and plunder his blood and the 'Dragon Blood' that had caused the monsters' internal strife. Then they were directly torn into pieces by the angry dragons. Those who left their bodies behind were actually considered monster immortals..."
"The others, I'm afraid, have already turned to dust."
"Huh...it would be best if the dragon clan could awaken this Dragon King. That way, it would save a lot of effort."
Qi Wuhuo's mind moved slightly. He didn't want to show up at this time, otherwise there was a high probability that he would be directly regarded by the dragon clan as someone who came to "dig up their ancestral graves" and then be killed by the angry and arrogant dragon clan. When encountering the "thief" who dug up their ancestral graves, all living beings in the world would basically fight him first.
He quietly watched the group of dragons dancing and praying, and felt the spiritual rhythm in the void rising to its peak.
Heaven and earth are resonating!
Everything is calling out.
Then the forty-nine blue dragons released their dragon balls and offered their essence and blood as a sacrifice.
The dragons roared and shouted the name of the Dragon King. His name was——
【Aoji】
Finally, the dragon ball shone brightly and landed on the Dragon Emperor. All the dragons were looking forward to it, but in the end, nothing happened. Everything was silent. The dragons were stunned, and then they lost their color. There was a hint of sadness in their long chants, and even Qi Wuhuo frowned slightly.
"Something went wrong..."
"Is that a name?"
At this moment, he suddenly heard an angry dragon roar: "Yin creatures? ! ! How dare you be so bold as to come here! You are offending the divine power of my ancestors! ! "
"Die!!!"
Then all the dragons moved.
Qi Wuhuo's expression changed slightly. He saw the battered body of the Reward the Good and Punish the Evil. A red-gold dragon rose up on the clouds and mist, and then turned into a handsome man wearing a dark gold robe with red cloud patterns. His brows were sharp and grim, revealing a majestic and terrifying aura.
Qi Wuhuo instantly recognized the characteristics of this dragon: "True Lord level!"
"It's still of the fire element. It's a fire dragon."
"No wonder Rewarding the Good and Punishing the Evil is not a match..."
Rewarding good and punishing evil made it a mess, and they wanted to retreat, but this place was the land of the Dragon Clan after all, and there were rituals of the Dragon Clan. Qi Wuhuo's movement had been noticed by the True Lord of the Dragon Clan. His cold eyes drooped and looked at Qi Wuhuo. There was anger at the failure of the ritual, and murderous intent for the ancestors being disturbed in his eyes. He said coldly: "Form a formation!"
Forty-nine blue dragons circled in the air, and the sound of dragon roars was endless, causing the clouds in the sky to collapse and all things to become desolate.
Then, using this ritual, layers of rising fire were like a raging rage that seemed to burn all life, burning everything, causing the sky to change color, the earth to melt into crystals, and then collapse. The eerie fire was red at first, and then suddenly swirled around, turning into blue and white, and finally the white turned into gold, and the eerie dragon flame rose into the sky.
True Lord Nine Heavens Dragon Flame!
Rewarding the good and punishing the evil makes a shrill and painful cry.
Almost being burned to death by the aftermath, the Dragon Clan True Lord looked at the young Taoist standing there with a peaceful expression, his black hair hanging down. He smiled coldly and shook his wrist. The fire was overwhelming and violent, carrying the fire that could destroy all things, and rushed towards the young Taoist. Qi Wuhuo raised his hand, and on the palm of his right hand, the flame pattern spread in an instant.
The flames fell and burned everything.
The Dragon Clan True Lord slowly exhaled and said in a cold voice: "You want to take the body of our Dragon Emperor? Humph, you are courting death..."
The voice was overbearing and murderous.
Turn around.
But his expression suddenly froze.
The flame behind him rose violently, as if it was about to be stimulated to the extreme, but suddenly, it was torn apart from the middle!
Crash!
He flicked his sleeves, and the sleeves flowed like tranquil ripples, so the flames split into two sides in front of him, and then dispersed. His Taoist robe rolled up, and the young Taoist pointed with his right hand and walked forward calmly, with the flames reflected in his eyes, and the boundless dragon flames were torn apart, surging and majestic, swirling and whistling, and then it all returned to his sleeves!
The high temperature that burned everything was suppressed by the power of Fire, and the boundless demonic power entered the holy fetus.
It’s just this picture, arrogant yet gentle, calm yet domineering.
Only everything was dead and silent, except for the residual waves that dissipated, and the young Taoist's hair was slightly fluttering.
Rewarding the good and punishing the evil, half-kneeling behind him, all with pale faces, full of gratitude, saying:
"Thank you so much for saving my life!"
"Master?"
The Dragon Clan True Lord's eyes were cold: "Which Lord?"
Qi Wuhuo suppressed the terrifying demonic power, and with a flick of his wrist, a wine jar suddenly flew towards the huge Dragon King. In the wine jar was the sweet spring water that the Northern Ghost King loved the most, which was very close to the core of the Yellow Spring. It could heal the wounds of the soul and revive the spirit. It was an ultimate treasure. He spoke in a calm tone to subdue the dragons:
"Ao Wu Tian Ji."
"Can we have a drink together?"
The dragons were shocked and angry, mistaking it for some kind of poison. However, the young Taoist was now mobilizing the power absorbed from his holy fetus, and it was over at an extremely fast speed. The Dragon Lord was about to take action, but his expression suddenly changed.
A hand stretched out from the Dragon Emperor.
Grabbed the wine jar.
!!! ...
