Ever since Hong Yun was killed in a surprise attack, Taiyi, Di Jun, Kunpeng and others failed to get the Hongmeng purple energy from Hong Yun as they wished.
More than 90,000 years have passed since the 100,000-year period set by Hongjun Daozu when the wizards and the liches fought for the second time.
Nowadays, the entire prehistoric world seems calm on the surface, but as the day of the final battle between the wizards and the lich races approaches, the two races are constantly engaged in small battles, and the evil spirit between heaven and earth is becoming more and more intense.
The three thousand guests who listened to the teachings in the Zixiao Palace in the past felt that the great catastrophe was approaching, so they closed their temples one by one and stayed indoors, fearing that they would be dragged into the great catastrophe and die.
Of course, only a small number of people can keep a clear head. Most of the Zixiao Taoists have already joined the game and been confused by the evil spirit of the catastrophe. If they join one side, what awaits them will be death.
However, it is said that during the last Longhan catastrophe, a great war between Taoism and demons broke out in the Western Continent. The Demon Ancestor Luohou was forced by the Taoist Ancestor Hongjun to self-destruct, causing the entire Western Continent to be destroyed, and only one in ten spiritual veins remained.
Fortunately, Jie Yin and Zhunti from the West were able to attain the state of Hun Yuan. After their years of hard work, the Western Continent finally regained some of its former glory.
Mount Sumeru.
"Brother, my West is poor. No matter how much we develop, we will never be able to compare with the East."
Holding the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in his hand, the Saint Zhunti said to his senior brother, the Saint Jieyin, "This witch-demon calamity is my chance to go to the West!"
"Junior brother, be careful with your words!"
The Saint Jie Yin sat cross-legged on the twelve-tier lotus platform with a sad face.
"Brother, you are not anxious, but I am!"
Zhunti's eyes widened and he said, "Tell me, what was the Western world like when we were born? It was devastated and filled with misery. There were hardly any living beings in the entire Western world."
"Now, after our efforts, the spirit veins have been restored, countless lives have been created, and we have even taught several Taiyi and hundreds of Golden Immortals."
Having said this, Zhunti’s expression was full of pride and arrogance.
"In that case, what are you worried about, Junior Brother?"
The Saint of Reception smiled gently and said.
“But it’s not enough!”
Zhunti paused and said anxiously, "Let's not talk about the four saints in the East. Those Taoist friends who listened to the teachings with us in Zixiao Palace have all entered the realm of quasi-saints."
"If we don't work hard and plan for the two tribes of witches and liches, when will the West be able to catch up with the East?"
In order to make the West prosperous, Zhunti can use any means necessary and beg for alms everywhere, which is despised by other saints.
But he didn't care at all. How much is face worth? "Brother, I know what you said. But Dongfang will not allow us to interfere in the catastrophe!"
Jie Yin sighed and said with a sad face: "We can't beat them, so we can't be impatient. We should take it slow."
The West was poor back then, but they all made it through. Now that they have attained enlightenment and become saints, they will have more time to slowly develop the West.
He did not agree with his junior brother Zhunti's approach of trying to take advantage of the situation. It was too risky. It would be better to proceed steadily and slowly.
"Under the catastrophe, the destiny of the world is in chaos. This is our chance!"
Zhunti shook his head and said firmly: "Brother, I will do it even if you disagree."
Although time is meaningless to a saint, in order to attain enlightenment and become a saint, he and his two senior brothers had to make forty-eight great wishes to the Heavenly Dao, and only then were they able to attain enlightenment.
In other words, he and his fellow disciples still owed a huge debt to Heaven, so how could he not be anxious?
"Forget it, forget it. In that case, you should be careful and don't get discovered by them."
Every saint has a firm faith in the Tao and will not be easily influenced by outsiders. Jie Yin knew that he could not convince him, so he stopped trying to stop him.
"Haha, Brother, don't worry about me doing it!"
After getting permission, Zhunti laughed loudly, left Mount Xumi, hid his body, and headed towards the Eastern Continent.
His departure officially marked the beginning of the final battle between the two races of wizards and liches.
Above the East China Sea, there is a secret place called Tanggu, where a large number of monsters are stationed, and there is even a quasi-saint monster commander in charge.
Because there are no treasures in this Tang Valley, but it is the dojo of the ten princes of the demon clan.
In the past, Emperor Jun married the goddess of the moon, Chang Xi, and they gave birth to ten little golden crows, who were gifted and born in the realm of golden immortals.
Ever since the ten little Golden Crows were born, Emperor Jun placed them in Tang Valley. One reason was that the ten little Golden Crows were too weak, and he was afraid that once the Wu Clan got to know about it, they would poison the ten little Golden Crows and destroy the future of the demon clan, which was something Emperor Jun did not want to see.
Secondly, there is actually a hibiscus tree in this Tang Valley, which is one of the ten best innate spiritual roots and is most suitable for the Golden Crow to live. Placing the ten little Golden Crows here can not only nourish their bodies and increase the purity of their blood, but also greatly increase their cultivation speed.
Emperor Jun planned to release these ten little golden crows after completely defeating the witch clan and unifying the world. Normally, he would never allow them to go out, so as to prevent the witch clan from knowing.
These ten little golden crows were born with the ability to wield the true fire of the sun, but they were born not long ago and are unable to control it perfectly yet.
Therefore, Emperor Jun placed the ten little golden crows here with the intention of training them.
Tanggu is said to be a secret place, but in fact it is a paradise. It is so vast and boundless that it can be compared to the vast world.
But it was really monotonous inside. Apart from a top-grade innate spiritual root, there were basically no living creatures.
The ten little golden crows have lived in Tanggu for a long time. Although they are free, they feel very bored.
On this day, an uninvited guest came to the outside of Tanggu. The saint Zhunti, holding the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, quietly sneaked into the secret realm of Tanggu.
As a thief with the dignity of a Hunyuan Saint, no one in the world would be able to discover him. Naturally, the demons who rule this place do not have the ability to do so.
Looking at the ten Golden Crows playing and fighting in Tang Valley, Zhunti revealed a sneer.
After observing for a moment, he stopped smiling, and gently pointed at the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in his hand. The seven-colored divine light flowed and turned into a long rainbow, piercing towards the formation that enveloped the Tanggu Secret Realm.
"Buzz"
With a buzzing sound, a crack suddenly appeared at the entrance of Tanggu, which was originally tightly closed, and the boundless evil energy floating in the ancient land outside slowly flowed in.
The ten Golden Crows are the descendants of Emperor Jun, and are in the midst of a catastrophe. Emperor Jun wants to seal them away by force in an attempt to avoid the catastrophe, but how can Zhunti let him do so?
He only needs to break a corner of the formation of Tang Valley and let the evil energy of the calamity enter this paradise-like Tang Valley, so that the ten Golden Crows will be filled with the evil energy of the calamity, and they will naturally participate in the calamity.
By then, no matter what earth-shattering things they can do, it will have nothing to do with him, Zhunti.
When the catastrophe happened, the heavens were in chaos. Who knew that this was actually the hand of Zhunti? "Hehe!"
Thinking of this, Zhunti couldn't help but sneer again, hiding his body and hiding aside to watch the fun.
The ten Golden Crows transformed into their original forms and stood on the Fusang tree, playing and fighting.
"Alas, my demon clan is the overlord of the ancient world, and my father and uncle are invincible in the world, but they force us brothers to be trapped in this small place. What can we do!"
Suddenly, the fifth ranked Little Golden Crow sighed and spoke in a rather indignant tone.
"Yes, although I am free, being trapped in this secret place of Tanggu is no different from being imprisoned."
"It's so boring to practice every day!"
"Yeah yeah!"
The other little golden crows also spoke up in agreement.
"Brother, how about we sneak out and play for a few days and come back later?"
The eldest brother hesitated when he heard this. Although he was the eldest brother, he was born just a little earlier than the other nine golden crows. In essence, he was just a child and naturally had an immense yearning for the outside world.
However, as the eldest brother, Di Jun had repeatedly warned him not to go out at will.
He didn't dare to take the risk of taking his brothers out. If he got into trouble, his father would never forgive him.
But he wanted to go out and play and didn't want to be trapped in Tanggu all day, but he was also afraid of being blamed by his father. He was inevitably caught in a dilemma.
"Why not just forget it? Father said we can't sneak out."
While the eldest brother was still in deep thought, the youngest, the tenth brother, spoke timidly.
"Hmph, Xiao Shi, since you are afraid of being blamed by your father, then you should just stay at home. Let's go out and play."
Lao Wu glared at him fiercely, very dissatisfied with this little traitor.
But what the ten Golden Crows present did not realize was that while they were discussing this matter, strands of evil energy of great calamity floated faintly in the air and entered their bodies.
"Whoever is afraid can go ahead."
Provoked by Lao Wu and with the evil spirit of the calamity entering his body, Xiao Shi mustered up his courage and said with an obviously lack of confidence.
"Well, I'm already tired of staying in this Tanggu all day long."
The boss, who was possessed by the evil spirit of the calamity, finally made a decision and made the final decision.
"Great, I can finally go out and play."
"Let's go, let's go. I can't wait any longer."
The other little golden crows cheered loudly.
Seeing the ten little golden crows leaving Tanggu, the figure of the Bodhisattva Zhunti quietly disappeared.
"Haha, the world outside is so vast? Father is really something, he doesn't even let us go out to play, humph!"
“It’s fun. It’s so fun.”
"Honghuang, here I come, haha!"
The ten little golden crows left Tanggu and flew freely in the sky like wild horses.
However, since they were unable to freely control the Sun's True Fire on their bodies, the Sun's True Fire splashed out and fell to the ground.
The ten of them were having a great time, but all the creatures on earth suffered and were in bad luck.
On this day, ten suns appeared in the sky across the ancient land. Wherever they passed, fire flowed from the sky, the temperature rose sharply, the rivers dried up, the earth turned into scorched earth, and many lives were lost.
Kunlun Sacred Mountain, Taiqing Palace.
Xie Lin sat cross-legged, his mind sunk into a dark realm, comprehending the vast avenue, feeling contented.
Su Qing has already achieved Daluo, but he is still Taiyi Jinxian and is left far behind.
He felt a sense of urgency in his heart, hoping to achieve Daluo as soon as possible and catch up with Su Qing's footsteps.
At this moment, Xie Lin suddenly felt a palpitation and quickly woke up from his enlightenment.
He suddenly discovered that the temperature between heaven and earth had risen and became extremely hot.
"Hmm? This is. Ten Days Across the Sky?"
Xie Lin walked out of Taiqing Palace and overlooked the vast land, his face changed drastically.
Seeing the ten little golden crows flying freely in the sky, he knew that the Lich Calamity had finally begun.
The Golden Crows were wielding the Sun's True Fire to their heart's content, charging forward like ten suns rising at the same time, soaring freely in the sky without restraining the Sun's True Fire at all.
How tyrannical is the true fire of the sun? Wherever it passes, rivers dry up, forests wither, and all living things become extinct.
They played and frolicked along the way, but they didn't know how many lives they had killed and how many sins they had committed! "You beasts, you deserve to die!"
Xie Lin could see clearly that the human race below was in chaos, with heavy casualties.
Being of human origin, he could relate to the situation. He bit his lips until they bled and couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Walk!"
Seeing this scene, Xie Lin could no longer sit still. Auspicious clouds appeared under his feet, and he strode out of Taiqing Palace and arrived above the human territory.
"Don't panic, my fellow tribesmen, I, Xuan Lin, am here!"
"rise!"
Xie Lin shouted loudly, revealing three flowers on his head, and the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Southern Flame Flag, flew out of his body.
The fiery red flaming flag slowly rose up from the ground, with mysterious divine patterns painted on it and flashing fiery red rays of light.
The flag exudes a sense of chaotic yin and yang, reversal of the five elements, retreat of all evil, and invulnerability to all attacks. It covers the sky and permeates the entire sky, firmly protecting the entire human territory and preventing water from getting in.
"Master Xuanlin is here, we are finally safe."
As the flaming flag flew off the ground, the high temperature in the sky was immediately isolated and the surviving humans cheered.
However, Xie Lin could not be happy. He found that in just a short while, only more than 500 million of the original 1.3 billion human population were left, and the remaining more than 700 million human beings died under the true fire of the sun that appeared in the sky for ten days.
“That’s 700 million people!”
Xie Lin was trembling all over and muttered hoarsely.
"born!"
He suddenly looked up and looked at the ten golden crows flying freely in the sky and cursed in hatred.
He originally did not want to interfere in the catastrophe, he just wanted to practice in peace, hoping to achieve enlightenment as soon as possible.
But the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. The Tenth Prince of the Demon Clan is on a journey, and the human race has suffered heavy casualties. How can he just sit back and watch?
"With my Taiyi Realm strength, it is not difficult to kill these ten little golden crows, but after I defeat the little ones, the old ones will come. I am definitely no match for the two emperors of the demon clan, Dijun and Taiyi."
"Moreover, my master's dignity prohibits me from interfering in the catastrophe. If I attack the ten little golden crows, I'm afraid my master won't stand up for me."
“But if I just sit back and do nothing, and let these ten little golden crows run free, I will not be at peace!”
"Oh, right. Lao Cao has already attained the state of Daluo, and has the door to immortality in his hands. He is invincible under the sage of Hunyuan."
"Just ask Lao Cao for help. He will definitely not sit idly by!"
Xie Lin pondered for a moment, weighed the pros and cons, and finally made a decision.
Thinking of this, he quickly opened the chat group and asked Su Qing for help: Xie Lin: "@Su Qing, Lao Cao, the catastrophe has begun. Ten days have passed and more than 700 million people have died. If I don't pay back this 100 million, I won't be able to swallow this breath!"
Xie Lin: "But I can't beat Di Jun and Tai Yi. If you don't come to help, remember to burn paper for me on this day next year!" (End of this chapter)
