Being stared at by those eyes that were like the dim yellow sun, Shen Yuan instantly felt the endless evil thoughts of this world coming towards him.
The omnipresent spiritual energy merged into the magic power in his body, trying to transform into a ferocious sharp blade to pierce his body.
The space seemed to have its own consciousness and kept shaking and twisting, trying to exile Shen Yuan into the void.
The radiation in the light expanded a million times in an instant, and poisonous gas that was enough to kill practitioners continued to emerge in the air. These ordinary objects that were originally within reach turned into weapons, using every possible means to kill Shen Yuan.
At this moment, Shen Yuan was despised by this world and carried the malice from this world.
Even an ordinary spiritual master cannot withstand such malice.
Although the True Man of Refining the Spirit is powerful and his yang spirit has survived external disasters and is immune to all evil, his foundation is still the free spiritual energy between heaven and earth and is still limited by the space of this world.
When the spiritual energy backfires and space exile comes at the same time, even a real spirit cultivator will be hurt in an instant.
But Shen Yuan is different. He masters the Nine Breaths to Subdue Qi and the way to refine Qi. The Yuan Qi floating between heaven and earth can easily replace the spiritual energy to protect his body.
On the spatial level, Shen Yuan mastered the Hutian magical power, which also touched the Disha magical power of space, which was enough to suppress the exile on the spatial level at this moment.
At this moment, the three great energies of heaven and earth, namely, Xuanhuang Qi, Suimu Tianhan, and Zhuming Chengye, all appeared around Shen Yuan. The middle-level Qi of heaven and earth, adhering to the rules of heaven and earth, guided the Yuan Qi of this world to protect Shen Yuan.
All of a sudden, thousands of brilliant colors bloomed above the sky. The cold weather at the end of the year turned into a moon, and the bright night also showed the shadow of the sun, resisting the malice from the dim eyes.
"Huh?"
It was like a thunder that created the world exploding from the sky, and a hint of surprise flashed in the dull and dim eyes.
He thought it was just an ant that had seen the truth, but he never expected it to put up such a strong resistance. This aroused a little interest in him.
Amid the rolling clouds, there seemed to be a huge black pillar appearing between heaven and earth above the sky.
The Sky Pillar displayed an agility that was in stark contrast to its size, stirring up a storm and crashing down towards Shen Yuan.
At that critical moment, Shen Yuan caught a glimpse of thick hairs all over the pillar of heaven. Shocked, Shen Yuan immediately realized that this was not a pillar of heaven at all, but an extremely huge spider leg!
Like the eyes that replaced the sun in the sky, this huge pillar was also part of the body of a gigantic monster.
In an instant, the vast amount of Yuan Qi blocking Shen Yuan was forcibly dispersed by Tianzhu with absolute power, and only the Xuanhuang Qi of the three gathered Qi of heaven and earth could maintain the blockage for a moment.
The next moment, the spider's feet penetrated the wasteland below with unrivaled force.
The entire huge island was shaking at this moment. Under such a powerful force, even a real soul cultivator was as fragile as an ant.
The spider's legs pierced straight into the earth veins, and the veins collapsed in an instant, turning into a disaster that spread over an area of hundreds of miles.
The earth cracked and the mountains collapsed. The originally uninhabited wasteland turned into a huge canyon under this blow. The hundreds of ghosts wandering above the wasteland had already been turned to ashes under this blow. The heaven and earth were cleared at this moment.
Above the sky, eyes like the setting sun scanned the land. After a moment, the spider's legs that looked like pillars of heaven slowly emerged from the depths of the earth.
The earth was still dead silent, with only the setting sun, with only its afterglow still hanging high in the sky, as if it had never changed.
In a city built of huge stones, Ji Zhaoyang, wearing a bright yellow robe with dragon pattern and looking extraordinary, stood in the highest palace in the city, looking at the giant spider's foot in the sky with shock.
"How could such a terrifying evil creature exist in this world?
Such a powerful true demon body is almost comparable to the Demon King in the Refining Void Realm, but the aura of this evil creature is mixed and turbid, and it must have reached this realm by some evil method. "
“But no matter what, this evil creature is far beyond the scope of what a spiritual cultivator can deal with. Even if one breaks through to the realm of Great True Man Huanxu, it is still difficult to fight against it.
Is the Earth Gate Trial really that terrifying?"
Ji Zhaoyang had a bad feeling in his heart, and then looked to his side and asked:
"Has this monster always been like this?"
As soon as Ji Zhaoyang said this, everyone present suddenly changed their expressions, especially the middle-aged man in fancy clothes who was closest to him, who turned pale and said in panic:
"My lord, please be careful with your words! Be careful with your words!"
“That being is the supreme god worshipped by all nations, and no slander is allowed.
Once these blasphemous words are discovered by the God, He will be angry and hundreds of demons will wreak havoc, enough to destroy an entire country. I hope you will think twice!"
Ji Zhaoyang sneered at the middle-aged man's words, but did not say anything else.
He was also afraid of the terrifying evil creature on the horizon.
Ji Zhaoyang glanced at the people present. Several warriors in armor had the cultivation level of Qi Transformation Realm, and the man in gorgeous clothes who had just spoken beside him was at the peak of Qi Transformation Realm, ruling this city and several villages outside.
According to the local custom, they call this city and village a country.
Ji Zhaoyang did not restrain his aura when he crossed the ground gate before, and appeared directly in this city. He was then invited into this palace by these people.
From these people, Ji Zhaoyang learned that the land under his feet was an overseas island. Surrounded by the sea, practitioners had searched overseas by boat for decades but had never found other continents.
There are hundreds of countries on this island, and the Mu Kingdom where he is is one of them.
However, although it is a country, most of the places can only be barely called villages. A country like Mu State that can build cities is already relatively powerful among the hundreds of countries.
Ji Zhaoyang was quite happy when he heard the news. Since the human race on this island is weak, the disaster should not be too strong.
But the reality that followed dealt him a heavy blow.
As the dim sun in the sky set in the west, large numbers of demons began to appear inside and outside the city at dusk. The number of demons was so large that even Ji Zhaoyang was frightened.
According to the Lord of the Mu State, most demons avoid places where humans live, and only a small number of demons appear in cities and villages.
In those abandoned villages and wastelands, a large number of demons gathered and almost turned them into a ghost den.
If these demons only appear at dusk, the human race on the island would have been slaughtered by these massive demons long ago.
The only thing that made Ji Zhaoyang feel fortunate was that these monsters were not very powerful. Most of them had just reached the realm of refining essence, and even ordinary people could kill them together.
Ji Zhaoyang originally thought that the content of this trial would be to eliminate demons and monsters, but he saw the huge spider legs in the sky that looked like pillars of heaven.
After that blow landed, Ji Zhaoyang's idea of suppressing the demon with force was completely shattered.
"This kind of disaster is beyond human control. Is the Earth Gate really a dead end?"
Ji Zhaoyang's thoughts were in turmoil and his expression became increasingly ugly.
At this moment, the King of Mu noticed the change in Ji Zhaoyang's expression and said in a low voice:
"This world has always been like this since I was born.
After the day comes the dusk, demons wreak havoc on the people, and as countries are destroyed one after another, the living space of the human race is constantly squeezed. "
“However, it is said that in ancient times, there were not only day and dusk in this world, and there were not so many demons in the world at that time.
But at some point the sun in the sky stopped setting, and the night never came over the earth. The souls of the dead had no place to go and wandered the earth, turning into the evil spirits that wreak havoc on the living beings today. "
The words of the King of Mu State made Ji Zhaoyang's expression suddenly change.
"Life and death are out of balance, and reincarnation is disordered? Could the source of all this be that big sun at sunset?" Ji Zhaoyang subconsciously looked towards the big sun in the sky that was emitting cold sunlight, and vaguely seemed to see a huge eye gazing at the world.
“Crack!”
A dragon-shaped jade pendant around his waist shattered with a loud bang. Ji Zhaoyang realized the horror and quickly retracted his gaze, not daring to look at it any longer.
"There really is a big problem in this world!"
“That monster has secretly taken control of this world, and even replaced the sun with itself, which is why it is so terrifying now.
If we can restore order to this world, we might be able to weaken the monster to a certain extent, so that it can no longer exert such terrifying power."
Thinking of this, Ji Zhaoyang suddenly remembered the information about the Earth Gate Trial mentioned by Shen Yuan. One of the information was "If it cannot be suppressed by force, the power of mountains, rivers and earth can be used to eliminate the disaster."
As the first person to break through the Earth Gate Trial, Shen Yuan's words are of great reference value. His method of breaking through is ultimately just two words.
Take advantage of the situation!
Ji Zhaoyang couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
"The mountains, rivers and land are the trend, and the prosperity of humanity is also the trend!
This world is in chaos with hundreds of countries and demons running rampant. If we can control hundreds of countries and stabilize the trend of humanity, we will surely be able to alleviate the imbalance of the world to a certain extent, thereby suppressing the disaster of the Night Parade of Hundreds of Demons and weakening the demons!"
Thinking of this, Ji Zhaoyang immediately looked at the middle-aged man beside him.
As the third prince of the Dayin royal family, he is eligible to inherit the throne of the Dayin emperor in the future. Naturally, he will not lower his status to become the ruler of a hundred countries.
Therefore, he needed to support a ruler in the name of the Dayin Dynasty, and let that ruler rule over hundreds of countries and integrate the destiny of humanity.
There is no doubt that this sensible leader of the Mu Kingdom is the best candidate.
After making up his mind, a light flashed from the storage ring in Ji Zhaoyang's hand, and a seal appeared in his hand.
There is a dragon engraved on the bright yellow seal, carrying the humanitarian destiny of the Dayin Dynasty. The moment the seal appeared, the originally scattered and broken humanitarian destiny seemed to have a backbone and began to gather here.
Under the great momentum of humanity, all the demons within a hundred miles were wiped out in an instant.
Above the Mu Kingdom, a shadow of an emperor wearing a dragon robe and a glazed crown appeared.
Ji Zhaoyang saluted respectfully towards the emperor's phantom, and then the emperor's phantom fell into Ji Zhaoyang's body. Ji Zhaoyang's aura changed instantly, as if he was connected with the great trend of the world and humanity here.
Then Ji Zhaoyang said to the Lord of Mu State with a solemn expression:
“I am the third prince of the Dayin Dynasty. I have traveled around this world and seen demons running rampant and people suffering. I wish to teach the way of destiny to correct the situation of heaven and earth.
Are you willing to be the ruler of these hundred nations?"
The King of Mu State looked at Ji Zhaoyang holding the seal with shock on his face, and then slowly knelt on the ground.
Outside the human gathering place, in a mountain range where demons are rampant, Dong Youzi was walking among the mountains wearing a black Taoist robe.
When a large number of ferocious demons saw Dong Youzi, they subconsciously wanted to rush over and tear the humans in front of them to pieces. However, before Dong Youzi made any move, a light golden rope was directly put around the demons' necks, binding them and dragging them into the fog behind him.
Behind Dong Youzi, a top-grade spiritual treasure, the soul-locking rope, extended from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain. Hundreds of demons were bound by this top-grade spiritual treasure.
No matter whether it is the vicious demon king in the early stage of Qi training and spirit refining or the little monster in the Qi transformation stage, they cannot escape.
In this way, Dong Youzi walked all the way to the top of the mountain where demons were rampant.
Looking down from the top of the mountains, there is only a turbulent river running across the valley between the towering mountains, with a large number of demon corpses floating on it.
“The mountains have no names. Since there is a river running through them, it might as well be called Dajiang Mountain.”
Dong Youzi commented casually.
Standing on the top of Dajiang Mountain, Dong Youzi looked deeply at the direction of the setting sun and whispered:
"Take advantage of the situation? This time, I am indebted to Fellow Daoist Shen, but I don't know if he can survive that attack."
After he finished speaking, Dong Youzi swept his eyes over all the trapped demons and said in a loud voice:
"From today on, all demons will be commanded by the Ghost King. Without the Ghost King's order, they are not allowed to leave Dajiang Mountain and wreak havoc on the human world."
The mountains shook. Outside this group of demonic mountains, a deep barrier isolated this place from the human world.
Most of the demons looked confused, while others looked ferocious and roared at Dong Youzi with unwillingness.
However, Dong Youzi just smiled coldly and said with a gentle look:
"Don't worry, I will let you understand what the demon order is in the next period of time."
In a shrine among hundreds of countries.
Yu Ke crushed the statue enshrined in the shrine with one foot, and the corpse of a demon that looked exactly like the statue had already fallen to the ground.
Yu Ke glanced at the demon with disdain and said boredly:
"The so-called shrines and sects here are too weak. How dare a mere Qi training monster call itself a god?"
On the other side of the shrine, He Zhen was looking at the murals on the shrine, his eyes were deep in thought and he said:
“Demons are rampant in this world, and most humans cannot practice cultivation, so they can only pray to these monsters for protection.
In such a life-and-death crisis environment, the quality of the incense produced is far higher than that of the outside world."
Yu Ke raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What on earth do you want to do?"
He Zhen chuckled and said to Yu Ke:
"Are you interested in joining me in creating a sect and harvesting the incense and faith of this world?"
In a barren mountain, a dark space crack suddenly opened, and then a figure covered with scars fell to the ground from the crack. It was Shen Yuan who escaped the attack from the spider monster.
Lying on the ground in the barren mountain, Shen Yuan gasped for breath and mobilized his Yuan Qi to repair the wounds all over his body.
This was the first time that Shen Yuan faced such an irresistible force. The three energies of heaven and earth had no power to resist at all under that attack.
Shen Yuan even suspected that even if he used his unreachable divine power of summoning rain, he would not be able to kill this evil creature that replaced the will of heaven and earth.
Fortunately, this island is a world of its own and the space inside is weak, giving Shen Yuan's Hutian magical power the opportunity to forcibly tear open the space and escape into the void, otherwise he would have perished under that blow long ago.
However, this risky move was not completely without gain.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuan looked up at the setting sun in the sky. There was no fear in his eyes. He just whispered softly:
"Fake is fake after all. Even if it disrupts the order of this world and replaces the world with its own body, it is still just a fake thing after all.
How can a false sun be even a fraction as brilliant as the real sun? "
In Shen Yuan's palm, a phantom of the sun that had been shrunk countless times slowly condensed.
