Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2558 Genocide
'boom! '

'boom! '

'boom! '

……

A strange light shone into the desert, and then the blood mountains exploded one after another, turning into blood mist, and the tremors of the earth began to weaken.

The dragon vein only served to catch them off guard; it was unlikely to cause much damage under the noses of these demon saints.

"A few pseudo-dragons dare to roar in front of a true dragon!" A deep, aged voice echoed from the northern part of the Wind Desert.

Compared to this voice, even the roars of the eight dragon veins paled in comparison.

"You don't know when to back down! Today I will exterminate your entire clan!"

This sound overshadowed the dragon's roar, spreading throughout the kingdoms of half-demons and reaching the ears of all half-demons; the sound contained a chilling killing intent.

This was a trial, like divine punishment, proclaiming the fate of the half-demon of the Great Wind Plains!
Upon hearing this voice, expressions of terror appeared on the faces of the people of the half-demon kingdoms. From mortals to cultivators, no matter how high their cultivation level, they felt only fear and could not even muster the thought of resistance.

The eight dragon veins above their heads seemed to have reached their end under this announcement.

Fear gripped their minds.

However, before this announcement, at the same time as the eight dragon veins appeared in the world, there was another thought. This thought made people understand their situation, the fate of their ancestors, and the true history of the half-demon of the Great Wind Plains.

It turns out that from a very, very long time ago, they were livestock kept by the demon race!
It turns out that the ancestors of the half-demon went through so much suffering!
It turns out that the reason why the half-demon kingdoms are in constant chaos is because the demon race is manipulating things behind the scenes!
……

The half-demon people didn't hear voices, nor were they told vague historical accounts. Instead, they heard scenes of horrific, real tragedy, imprinted directly into their hearts through the power of the dragon vein. They were made to personally experience the suffering and despair of their ancestors, and the cruelty and ruthlessness of the demon race!
They were in pain, desperate, and in disbelief.

Those mortals who had never left the immortal city could not understand what those scenes meant. The enemy's strength far exceeded their imagination. Some were mentally shaken and even went insane on the spot.

The cultivators were somewhat better off. They had long experienced the cruelty of the cultivation world and had some understanding of history and the external situation. By comparing this with the hidden threads of history and reality, they knew that this was very likely true.

More importantly, what they "see" is not just a visual image, but also an emotional connection, a sense of being there. As more and more people are infected, their emotions become intertwined with that sentiment, making the emotional impact increasingly powerful.

Even if some cultivators questioned the authenticity of this thought, suspecting that they themselves had developed inner demons, they had no time to calmly discern and search for evidence.

The impact of this thought was too sudden and too intense. Countless people in the half-demon kingdoms were plunged into despair. The ultimate fear and despair turned into anger. Their boundless anger made them hate their enemies to the bone and unite in hatred against them!

Just as Qin Sang had initially realized, the Dao is the origin of heaven and earth. Heaven and earth are born from the Dao; mountains, rivers, lakes, clouds, sun, and moon are all creations. All things in heaven and earth, and countless living beings, are within the Dao; they are all part of the Dao, and naturally, they can also cultivate through it, though not as directly as the Hinayana path—water is water, fire is fire. The Dao contained within the dragon veins not only possesses the spiritual energy of mountains and rivers but also the chaotic atmosphere of the human world; all of these are the essence of the Dao…

The half-demon people could enhance the power of the dragon vein by uniting against a common enemy, but unfortunately their enemy was too powerful, and even so, they could not stop the blood mountain in the windy desert from being shattered.

"You don't know when to back down! Today I will exterminate your entire clan!"

When the Demon Saint's cold declaration arrived, they were filled with rage, but also with even greater despair.

To the east of the desert, waves surge and crash.

The two demon saints already harbored the intention to exterminate their races. Those sent to seize the Ancient Demon Court were all the strongest among the demon saints. The divine powers unleashed by these demon saints when they joined forces were as easy as destroying the heavens and the earth, and they actually managed to draw the waters of the North Sea over.

A hole appeared in the sky, connecting to the seabed of the North Sea. Endless seawater poured down, submerging the land, and the water level rose higher and higher.

Along with the flood, an endless sea of ​​fire appeared, with flames continuously spreading from the ground.

In the westernmost part of the half-demon kingdoms, water and fire meet. The north is azure, and the south is crimson, stretching as far as the eye can see. Water and fire blot out the sun. In the north, there are giant waves over a thousand feet high, crushing and submerging everything. In the south, the sky is filled with crimson fire, burning everything to ashes. Wherever they pass, no living being can survive.

That wasn't a threat. The demon saints of the Dragon and Phoenix clans are determined to exterminate the half-demon race of the Great Wind Plain!

In the Immortal Kingdom, located to the west of the half-demon kingdoms, the cultivators looked up in terror at the sky as a massive tide, some blue and some red, swept across the land, pressing down on them.

Those mountains that had withstood the ravages of windstorms were as fragile as paper in the face of the high tides, either crushed by the giant waves or burned to ashes.

No, they were not submerged or burned. Before the water and fire arrived, the rocks and earth had already turned into water and fire and then merged into them. Therefore, this water and fire will never be exhausted and will eventually engulf the entire territory of the half-demon kingdoms!

The hard earth transformed into seawater or flames, as if the strong winds were originally meant to be oceans or seas of fire—this was far beyond the comprehension of the half-demon kingdom's inhabitants. Was everything before an illusion, even themselves an illusion, perhaps merely a drop of water, a wisp of fire?

"Fellow Daoists, this is far too brutal!"

A low shout suddenly came from the heavens.

The expressions of the demon saints changed drastically, and they looked up at the half-demon kingdoms. They saw that a faint dark cloud had appeared in the sky, with starlight faintly visible within it. As more and more stars appeared, a bright starry sky appeared in the northern part of the half-demon kingdoms.

Some giant stars shone brightly like the golden sun, their dazzling light rippling outwards; others were as blue as ice needles, piercing the heavens with their sharpness pointing directly at the mortal world; still others saw crimson star clusters surging like blood, their breaths dyeing the surrounding clouds crimson...

The stars shone brightly, some bright and some dim, creating an extraordinary spectacle. Neither the daytime sunlight nor the firelight transformed by the supernatural powers of the demon saints could obscure the starlight.

Among the stars, one shone exceptionally bright, and a figure emerged from its starlight—it was the Wood God's Envoy!
The probe just now has confirmed that the powerful members of both the Dragon and Phoenix clans are in Fengmo, and the Ancient Demon Court is hiding here!

The Wood God, clad in a green robe and holding a whisk, descended from the sky, his voice shaking the heavens and earth: "Half-demons are also descendants of all races. Your practice of slaughtering nations and exterminating clans at will is contrary to the conduct of a king. How can you expect all races to submit to you!"

The Wood God's tone was righteous and awe-inspiring as he denounced the Dragon and Phoenix clans for unjustly claiming to be kings.

"Demon Court!"

The Palace Master of Lishui was both shocked and furious, and only then did she understand why the half-demon dared to come out and cause trouble at this time.

It turns out they've already colluded with the New Demon Court!

……

Fengmo, underground.

The phoenix-crowned woman and the golden-armored giant, who were leading the demons to break through the cave, stopped what they were doing and their expressions became extremely solemn.

No one expected the New Demon Court to suddenly emerge. It turns out that so many forces had been eyeing the Great Wind Plains all along; how laughable that they thought they were being discreet.

Could it be that the Azure Phoenix Clan and the New Demon Court have been secretly colluding all along?
They were filled with doubt and suspicion. The new Demon Court claimed to be the master of the Mahayana path and to inherit the great lineage, which had always been intolerable to the Phoenix Pavilion on Dragon Island. The Azure Phoenix Clan should not dare to defy the world unless they intended to split the Phoenix Pavilion.

The new Demon Court headed straight for Fengmo, and the timing was so precise that it was likely lured there by a half-demon. It seems both the Dragon and Phoenix clans underestimated the half-demon True Monarch; I wonder how they knew the truth.

"Hmph! Those cowardly bastards should have been dragged out and skinned alive long ago!" The golden-armored giant roared in fury.

The woman in the phoenix crown shook her head secretly. If she could find them, she would have caught them long ago. Now that things have come to this, she can only try to salvage the situation as soon as possible.

Luring away the Azure Phoenix Clan only to welcome the new Demon Court, and if they have already colluded together, it will be an even bigger problem.

"I will go out to meet the enemy. You all stay here and quickly open the cave!"

The woman in the phoenix crown made a decisive decision.

The current situation is very unfavorable to them. The new demon court has sent an unknown number of powerful figures. The Phoenix King and the North Sea Dragon King are stationed in the rear to guard against the Azure Phoenix Clan. Some demon saints have also been sent to the Xunfeng Sea. It will be difficult for them to come to Fengmo's aid in the short term. They can only rely on the demon saints of Fengmo to resist the enemy.

This time, we might really have to ask the patriarch to come out of seclusion!
The burly man in golden armor transformed into golden light and burst out of the formation, followed closely by the woman in a phoenix crown.

……

above the ground.

As the Wood God issued his question, he flicked his whisk, pointing it at Feng Mo in the distance.

In an instant, the starlight behind the Wood God envoy shone brightly.

Between the heavens, one can see the stars shifting and the light surging. Stars float and sink in the boundless sky, where they collide and sparkle like tiny specks of light, while in sparse areas, solitary stars shine brightly. Large stars stand out, no less than the sun and moon, their light flowing and spitting out like living things, like silver mercury spilling onto the earth, condensing into a vast celestial river.

This scene resembles the heavens using light as threads to weave a vast net across the sky.

Suddenly, a meteorite descended, its trailing tail stretching for thousands of miles, like an immortal carrying a lantern, descending from the nine-tiered jade steps.

One after another, meteors fell into the sea of ​​clouds, turning into a shower of meteors and fire. In an instant, the sky was filled with bright clouds, illuminating the mountains and rivers of Dafengyuan, and the storm subsided.

But in the blink of an eye, a meteorite descended upon the world.

'boom! ’

'boom! ’

'boom! ’

……

What descends upon the world is not just stars, but boundless waves of air.

Just then, the waves controlled by the demon saint of the North Sea Dragon Palace had already swept across the wasteland and were about to submerge the westernmost immortal kingdom.

The colossal waves swept away everything in their path. Standing on the ground, all one could see was a boundless wall of blue water, with nowhere to escape. Faced with the giant waves, even the city's protective array appeared as fragile as paper.

The people of the immortal kingdom could only watch helplessly and desperately as the giant wave crashed down. Even with their cultivation and speed, they had no chance of escaping its crushing force.

'boom! ’

A meteorite fell here, and a visible shockwave exploded in mid-air, crashing violently into the giant wave.

With a deafening roar, the seemingly invincible giant wave was brought to a halt and collapsed. However, instead of flowing freely across the land, the seawater was propelled by the air currents, creating even higher waves that surged back at an even faster speed.

From north to south, along the white lines formed by the giant waves, meteorites fall in a staggered fashion, like exotic flowers blooming in the water.

The giant wave was reversed, and the demon saints of the Dragon Palace roared angrily. No one knew what kind of supernatural power they had used. A blue halo swept across the water, and the wave that had been reversed was reversed again.

This time, it was no longer just a wave; various supernatural powers manifested within the water.

Some coalesced into mountains, their chilling aura spreading, transforming into towering icebergs. Others solidified into dragon spears, twin swords, or wondrous beasts…

……

At the site of the meteorite's fall, strange phenomena occurred, followed by a deafening roar.

The citizens of the Immortal City stared blankly at the sky, only to see a silver ball of light appear at the source of the shockwave after the airwave had stopped the water waves.

Suddenly, the ball of light elongated, revealing the silhouette of a burly figure.

"Roar!"

The outline gradually became clear, revealing itself to be an extremely majestic silver lion, glaring angrily at Feng Mo and letting out a divine lion's roar.

The giant lion raised its head, its four paws treading on the air, its claws as if carved from cold jade.

It stands a thousand feet tall, its entire body gleaming with silvery fur, as if formed from celestial sands, each hair resembling a crystalline thread. As its lion head turns, its mane cascades down like ten thousand strands of mercury. When it flutters in the wind, it creates ripples like a moon halo, shimmering with a cool, icy light.

The giant lion has a single vertical pupil on its forehead, like a frozen deep pool, with a blue flame flowing beneath the ice, while the pupil itself is the color of broken gold, exuding innate majesty.

This beast resembles a divine lion descended from the moon palace, its bones imbued with the essence of the moon and its body forged with the frost of the moon!

The roar of the divine lion shook the heavens and the earth. It leaped up and a phantom of an ice lotus bloomed beneath its feet. The lotus petals opened and closed, freezing the flowing wind and forming a path of ice lotus.

At this moment, roars echoed across the land of the half-demon kingdoms. Besides the Moon Palace Divine Lion, the meteorite transformed into a series of divine beasts, including fire apes and giant elephants, each with extraordinary and wondrous appearances, unlike the demonic beasts of the mortal world.

Upon closer inspection, their bodies do not seem real. Although they are full of spirituality, they do not seem to belong to this world. They are just incarnations projected from elsewhere.

The lion of the Moon Palace opened its mouth in fury, spewing out a silver torrent that swept across the water, turning the seawater silver as it did so. Then, the water suddenly became turbulent.

One after another, silver lions leaped from the water, their roars echoing throughout the room.

The land here first turned into an ocean, and now it has become a lion's den, giving birth to countless male lions, which in an instant formed a boundless pride of lions, seemingly numbering in the millions.

Ten thousand lions gallop, their manes flying like silver waves, possessing the momentum to crush everything in the world!

The pride of lions was invincible, but was stopped by an iceberg.

The mountain is composed of layers of ancient ice, its entire body a deep blue, like a giant, poisoned blade. The mountain's terrain is extremely rugged and precipitous, with sheer cliffs on all sides. The cliffs are extremely narrow, with sharp edges that cut through the wind, just like a sword drawn from its sheath, its frosty edge thousands of feet high, piercing straight into the heavens.

A chilling aura surged around the iceberg.

Suddenly, an endless cold wind blew towards the lion pride, like a sword's edge. The lead lion was instantly frozen by the cold air, and then the lions behind him were all turned into ice sculptures in the cold wind.

These lions were not merely frozen; their bodies were not covered in ice. Instead, they were completely transformed into ice lions from the outside in!

They shed their silver coats, their manes becoming crystal clear, revealing even their internal organs made of icicles. They then turned their lion heads and roared as they charged at their companions.

Then the iceberg trembled and transformed into a divine sword, its cold light shining brightly, slashing towards the Moon Palace Divine Lion!

……

over nine days.

The Wood God's gaze swept across the battlefield, then looked towards the Heavenly Azure Kingdom.

As agreed, they would deal with the North Sea Dragon Palace, while the Phoenix Clan would be handed over to the Dao Court!
