My son is about to break through.

Chapter 285: Strange Black Fog
"Your loyal warrior "Gu Wu" practiced hard in seclusion and succeeded in breaking through to the Dao Palace Realm again, breaking through to the first level of the Dao Palace Realm!"

"The Tianwu Sect founded by your assassin 'Gu Wu' is growing stronger and gradually swallowing up Jingyun Mansion!"

"Wherever your assassin Gu Wu points his spearhead, all the sects are defeated!"

"Your loyalist 'Gu Wu' founded the Jingyun League with the Tianwu Sect as its foundation. Ninety percent of the forces in the huge Jingyun Mansion have joined the Jingyun League!"

"Your assassin 'Hongye' has broken through to the sixth level of the Divine Transformation Realm!"

"The business of the Netherworld Pavilion founded by your assassin 'Hongye' grew day by day, and eventually angered an ancient holy land, causing the Netherworld Pavilion to suffer heavy losses!"

"Your assassins..."

"Your assassin 'Gu Yuan' accidentally opened the ancient seal, and a terrifying evil spirit came out and brought disaster to the people!"

"Your assassin 'Gu Yuan' was contaminated by the ominous blood, and his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, but at the same time his spiritual wisdom was wiped out, and he fell into darkness and turned into an evil spirit!"

"Your assassins..."

……

When Gu Qingfeng looked at the information panel of the dead men, dense text emerged, making him a little dazzled.

But when one of the words appeared, Gu Qingfeng's pupils shrank.

"Evil!"

This was the first time he saw rumors about evil spirits in the information panel of the dead soldiers.

Do not--

Precisely.

This was the first time that Gu Qingfeng saw a dead man transform into an evil spirit.

all the time.

Gu Qingfeng had some guesses about the appearance of the evil spirit.

Now, when he saw the text on the information panel, he was finally confirmed of what he had been guessing.

The appearance of evil!
It comes from some strange power!

Whenever a living being is contaminated by these strange powers, it will become corrupted and become evil.

"The ancient seal was opened, causing evil spirits to emerge. But so far, there has been no news of large-scale evil spirits causing trouble in Jiuzhou. This shows that the seal that was opened was not in Jiuzhou, but somewhere else in the Ancient World."

Gu Qingfeng pondered.

He has always been extremely wary of the existence of evil spirits.

Even though his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, Gu Qingfeng dare not be careless towards such an existence.

at the moment.

Having witnessed the emergence of an evil spirit with his own eyes, Gu Qingfeng naturally had to take it seriously.

but.

The ancient world is so vast, and Gu Qingfeng has no idea where the evil spirit has appeared. He can only ask the secret guards to secretly gather information.

-

In a sect with an aura of immortals, broken bodies were scattered all over the ground. Corpses with miserable looks of death were lying there, dyeing the former mountain gate blood red.

Sometimes, black fog would surge and swallow up the entire sect.

In the center of the black fog, inside the former sect's main hall, there was a young man with a dark complexion and red eyes sitting there, and in front of him, dozens of corpses with iron-green faces stood quietly in front of him.

Such a huge palace.

All fell into deathly silence.

"Go!"

"Kill all living creatures!"

The young man spoke slowly, his low and hoarse voice.

The other dead bodies that originally did not understand now all let out a roar that was not like a human voice.

next moment.

Then the black fog spread.

Wherever you go.

All living creatures turned into mummies in an instant, as if all the blood and energy in their bodies had been drained away.

When the black fog appeared near a city, many monks immediately discovered it.

"Where does the black fog come from!?"

"What is this??"

"This black fog comes strangely, everyone must be careful——"

Just when the cultivators from all sides were secretly wondering and doubting, they saw a powerful man in the Divine Transformation Realm rising into the air, looking towards the black fog with cold eyes.

"Pretend to be a ghost!"

"I want to see who you are and how dare you come here and act so presumptuously!"

The words fell.

This powerful man in the Divine Transformation Realm directly summoned a long sword, and the sharp sword light cut through the void. In an instant, it hit the black fog hard.

I saw the black fog surging, and under the attack of such powerful sword energy, it was suddenly torn apart, and the scene inside was suddenly revealed.

When he saw the scene clearly, the face of this Divine Transformation Realm cultivator suddenly changed.

“What the hell is this——!!!”

In his sight, he saw countless dead bodies in the black fog. These corpses were all rotten, with maggots growing in their flesh and blood. They looked extremely weird.

Before this Divine Transformation Realm cultivator could feel any more shock, he saw the scattered black fog suddenly expand and swallowed him up in an instant.

"what!!!"

At the moment when this Divine Transformation Realm cultivator was swallowed by the black fog, the other cultivators only heard shrill screams coming from the black fog, and then there was no movement.

This scene.

The remaining monks all looked surprised and confused.

at this time.

The black fog is spreading.

The monks who were swallowed by the black fog screamed one after another, and then they disappeared as if they had fallen into the sea, without any movement at all.

The black fog continued to spread, and in less than a moment, it engulfed the entire city.

-

In the Ancient Beast Mountains.

The army of the Shenwu Dynasty is still advancing.

When another ferocious beast from the Dao Palace realm fell, Shi Zhen collected the corpse of the beast in front of him, then looked forward with a smile on his face.

"The Ancient Beast Mountain Range has finally been opened!"

It took several years.

The Shenwu Dynasty paid a huge price and finally opened up the Ancient Beast Mountain Range today.

Open up the Ancient Beast Mountain Range.

Then the Shenwu Dynasty could use the opened route as a foundation to advance in other directions of the Ancient Beast Mountains. They could send troops to the Eastern Region or retreat to support Jiuzhou.

Immediately.

Shi Zhen passed back the news that the Ancient Beast Mountain Range had been opened, and when Gu Yang heard the news, he was overjoyed.

"Tell Shi Zhen to build a defensive city using the Ancient Beast Mountain Passage as the foundation. There must be no mistakes!"

"Yes!"

The ministers below immediately bowed and accepted the order.

When Gu Yang's order was passed down, the fortune of the Shenwu Dynasty surged, and the sixth-grade green lotus seemed to become a little more solid.

However, not many monks actually noticed this change.

As the lord of the dynasty, Gu Yang naturally discovered these clues first.

but.

Gu Yang was not surprised at the change in the dynasty's fortune.

After all, opening up the Ancient Beast Mountain Range is considered an expansion of the dynasty's territory, which will naturally enhance the dynasty's fortune.

But the improvement is not that big and not very obvious.

If one day, the Shenwu Dynasty can continue to expand its territory, then its fortune will be improved accordingly.

But in the final analysis, territorial expansion is not as useful as population increase.

Best practice.

That is to annex other powerful dynasties and further strengthen the Shenwu Dynasty. In this way, the luck will usher in explosive growth. But Gu Yang was not too anxious.

At present, opening up the Ancient Beast Mountain Range is just the first step.

Next.

What the Shenwu Dynasty needs to do is to further explore the resources in the Ancient Beast Mountains in order to enhance the dynasty's foundation and strength.

Gu Yang will only take the next step when his strength is sufficient.

……

soon.

Time flies.

In the first year.

The Shenwu Dynasty used the passage of the Ancient Beast Mountain Range as its foundation and built nine ancient cities together. Later, the imperial court sent a large army to station in the nine cities, making the nine cities support each other and expand in all directions towards the Ancient Beast Mountain Range.

For a while.

The huge ancient beast mountain range shook.

Many powerful and ancient beasts have revived, but these powerful beasts all ended up being defeated by the army of the Shenwu Dynasty.

period.

A ferocious beast at the Saint level attacked in anger, causing many casualties among the army, but Gu Yang personally brought the Divine Phoenix Tower to the Ancient Beast Mountain Range and severely damaged it with a strong attitude.

The ferocious beast in the Saint Realm could only flee in a panic.

since then.

The might of the army of the Shenwu Dynasty is unstoppable.

Second year!
The third year!
……

In the next few years, the Shenwu Dynasty continued to tap into the resources of the Ancient Beast Mountain Range to strengthen itself, and its strength increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Other forces were jealous of this, and many followed the example of the Shenwu Dynasty, sending a large number of cultivators deep into the Ancient Beast Mountains in an attempt to plunder the resources there.

No matter what.

There are many powerful and ferocious beasts in the Ancient Beast Mountains. After all, only a very small number of people can truly benefit from the torrent of such ferocious beasts.

This day.

Suddenly, a bloody light shot up into the sky from the depths of the Ancient Beast Mountains, and then a strange black fog filled the sky and the earth, and all the living creatures in the black fog were swallowed up.

Immediately.

The news spread as fast as it could, and in less than half an hour, it reached Gu Yang.

"Your Majesty, a strange black fog appeared in the Ancient Beast Mountain Range, and a team of a thousand people disappeared without a trace. This team is the elite of the Divine Power Camp, and the leader is a fifth-level Divine Transformation Realm cultivator!"

In the court, a military general said in a deep voice.

Gu Yang's face suddenly turned cold when he heard this.

"Have you found out what caused the so-called strange black fog?"

“It’s not clear yet, but the strange black fog is expanding. A Dao Palace-level beast was swallowed by the black fog and disappeared without a trace.

In order to prevent the black fog from spreading, our army has temporarily avoided the front line, but judging from the current situation, if the black fog is allowed to grow, it is very likely to affect the Nine Ancient Beast Cities!"

Hear the words.

Gu Yang's eyes narrowed slightly.

The black fog that can devour the ferocious beasts in the Dao Palace realm must be very powerful.

"Tell the army not to clash with the black fog for the time being, and then let Shi Zhen take the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and take a look inside to see what the problem is."

Gu Yang pondered for a moment and made a decision immediately.

The black fog is not simple, anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

That being the case.

Therefore, it is impossible to rashly send in too many troops before figuring out the black fog.

The same reason.

If the Nine Ancient Beast Cities were abandoned, all the efforts of the Shenwu Dynasty over the years would be completely in vain.

therefore.

Gu Yang decided to let Shi Zhen lead the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to investigate the situation. Even if there was any danger, with the opponent's strength and the help of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, there would be no problem in retreating safely.

After all, Shi Zhen has already entered the ninth level of the Dao Palace realm. Although the Ten Thousand Souls Banner is not a holy weapon, it can also be regarded as a semi-saint treasure.

A combination of both.

Even when facing a true saint-level combat power, there is still a possibility of retreat.

-

"Boom!"

In the knife-grinding hall, flames rose, evolving the myriad phenomena of heaven and earth. It was even more as if a supreme divine phoenix had transformed into the sun hanging in the sky, with terrifying might that seemed to melt everything.

Inside the huge knife-grinding hall, many magical weapons were shaking violently, as if they could not withstand such terrifying power.

But if you look closely, you can find that these magical weapons are absorbing and refining this kind of power, adding a bit of power to themselves.

"receive!"

Gu Qingfeng shouted suddenly, and all the strange flames were absorbed into his body, and the Sumeru space disappeared.

Subsequently.

Gu Qingfeng took a look at the attribute panel.

……

……

"The Heavenly Phoenix Divine Art has finally been mastered!"

Gu Qingfeng showed a faint smile on his face.

Practiced hard for several years.

The Tianfeng magic has been advanced from entry level to minor success.

Don’t underestimate the fact that it is just a breakthrough of one level. For the Great Sage’s magical powers, the changes brought about by a breakthrough of one level are extremely astonishing.

Apart from that.

Gu Qingfeng has also cultivated the Nirvana Sutra to the ninth level of perfection in the Divine Transformation Chapter. If he goes further, he will be able to enter the Dao Palace Chapter.

The rest of the martial arts have basically also reached perfection.

In terms of improvement points, it once again broke through the 10,000-point mark.

"With more than 10,000 improvement points, it's time for the Jiuxiao Tianjing to make a breakthrough!"

As soon as Gu Qingfeng had a thought, he saw the ten thousand improvement points disappear in an instant. Then, a large amount of memories emerged from his mind, and the terrifying blood and energy power revived from his body.

Boom! !

The extremely powerful energy and blood seemed to illuminate the void and transform into an almighty and glorious sun. The temperature of the entire knife sharpening hall rose to a terrifying level out of thin air.

Fortunately.

This strange phenomenon did not last long and gradually disappeared.

Subsequently.

Gu Qingfeng closed his eyes, felt the changes in himself, and a smile appeared on his face again.

"We are both at the ninth level of the Saint Realm. Now that I have broken through to the ninth level of the Saint Realm through the Nine Heavens Heavenly Scripture, my strength has increased by at least 30%!"

Don’t think that a 30% increase may not seem large, but for someone with Gu Qingfeng’s level of cultivation, a 30% increase would be extremely terrifying if it happened to someone else.

The more important point is.

Now that the Jiuxiao Tianjing has entered the complete Saint Chapter, it means that Gu Qingfeng is already qualified to impact the Great Saint Realm.

As long as he has enough improvement points in the future, he will be able to break directly into the Great Saint Realm.

that time.

Gu Qingfeng’s own strength will usher in explosive growth.

The breakthrough from the ninth level of Saint Realm to Saint King Realm requires five thousand enhancement points.

This value.

For Gu Qingfeng now, it is nothing.

With just a few years of accumulation, it would be more than enough to break through to the Saint King realm.
