My whole clan is a master, I have become invincible by investing in my clan members

"This is the aura of a Great Sage..."

Jiang Beixuan's eyes flickered, and he instantly recognized that the strength of this Dao had reached the Great Sage realm.

However, unlike ordinary great saints, the other party seemed to have relied on some external force to forcibly reach this level.

At this moment, a series of voices rang out from my ears:

"The Lord of the City is here!"

"It's the City Lord! We are saved!"

On the streets, the people who were originally fleeing in panic stopped and looked up at the sky, their eyes full of excitement and admiration.

Cheers rose one after another, as if all fears were dispelled in an instant.

Jiang Beixuan looked up.

An old warrior wearing golden armor and holding a spear came walking in the air.

His hair and beard were all white, and his face looked weathered, but he exuded a terrifying aura that made people's hearts flutter.

"The Lord of Wanquan City."

Jiang Beixuan murmured softly, with a look of realization on his face.

The person who came was none other than the Lord of Wanquan City who had guarded this place three million years ago.

Although he was just a shadow in front of him, his majesty and momentum were still as strong as before.

At this time, the Lord of Wanquan City did not care about Jiang Beixuan and others, but looked into the distance with a sharp gaze.

There, the dark army of demons was surging like a tide, with demonic energy rising to the sky and murderous intent everywhere.

"It is the duty of us cultivators to drive out the demons, and we will not stop until our death!"

His voice was like a huge bell, resounding through heaven and earth!

"Fight with me!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly swung the golden spear in his hand, and a golden light swept out, instantly cutting the hundreds of demons rushing in the front into pieces!

"kill--!"

Following the order from the Lord of Wanquan City, deafening shouts of killing suddenly erupted in the city!

One after another figures walked out of the city.

There are young monks, elderly men, and even some ordinary people holding simple weapons.

There was no fear in their eyes, only a determination to face death.

"For our homeland, for humanity, kill!"

"Defend Wanquan City to the death!"

"Don't even think about setting foot in Wanquan City!"

The shouts of killing shook the heaven and the earth.

Countless human cultivators collided with the demon army, and a brutal battle broke out in an instant!

Blood dyed the earth red.

But no one retreated, everyone fought with all their might against the demons.

Liu Qingye looked at this scene, and a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes.

"It is precisely because of these ancestors that the human race of the Five Realms has been able to survive to this day... They are the true heroes."

Jiang Beixuan stood in the corner, looking at the monks fighting bloody battles, with a complex emotion in his heart.

Involuntarily, the tragic scenes of the previous timeline surfaced in his mind—the demons invaded en masse, and he and his brother Jiang Beiming fought desperately to resist, but in the end, they were still unable to reverse the situation. They could only watch helplessly as their relatives and friends fell one by one, and their home was reduced to ruins...

"If I had been stronger back then... perhaps the ending would have been different..."

Jiang Beixuan murmured softly, a trace of pain flashing in his eyes.

But soon, his eyes became firm again.

Since God has given me a chance to start over.

This time, he must protect everything at any cost and never let the tragedy happen again!

Thoughts flashed through.

Jiang Beixuan glanced around and began to walk towards the location of the main formation of Wanquan City according to the route provided by Zhuge Zizhinian.

At the same time, Liu Qingye and the other two saints all looked solemn.

At this moment, they all realized the urgency of the situation.

It is even clearer that the key to this third level is not to fight with the demons, but to find the 'treasure' that Zhuge Zi mentioned!

If the 'treasure' cannot be found, then as the battle in Wanquan City becomes more intense, I'm afraid no one will be able to escape.

Thinking of this, the saint named Du Huaizhen gritted his teeth and growled, "What exactly is the treasure that Senior Zhuge Zi left behind? Without even a single clue, how are we supposed to find it?!"

Cai Kuang, ranked third, suddenly looked up, a gleam in his eyes. "Wait, three million years ago... the demons attacked Wanquan City... I remember Zhuge Zi was still a child during this period... That treasure might be related to him!"

"You mean..." Du Huaizhen's pupils shrank suddenly, "the treasure might be hidden in the young Zhugezi?"

"That's right." Cai Kuang sneered, "This phantom reappears not only of the demon invasion, but also of Zhuge Zi's past! Finding that child is the key to breaking the deadlock!"

The three of them looked at each other, and their figures suddenly turned into streams of light, and they began to look for the trace of the young Zhuge Zi.

.........

Shortly after.

Jiang Beixuan successfully arrived near the main formation.

"Just activate the Demon Subduing Formation here to connect to the main formation and seize authority..."

Thinking of this, he immediately grabbed the Cangwu Order and was about to take out the Demon-Suppressing Formation from it.

But just then——

"town!"

Above the sky, golden light poured down like a torrent, condensing into the thousand-foot-long Chinese character "Zhen", crushing a demon general with monstrous evil energy into a bloody mist!

Jiang Beixuan suddenly looked up and saw a middle-aged man in green standing in the air.

The brilliance of literature and Taoism is like the sun hanging overhead, and as his robes flutter, his righteous spirit sweeps across all directions!

"There is only one person who can achieve such literary attainments in this period!"

"Wensheng...Han Mingzi?"

Based on Zhuge Zi's description, he immediately realized the identity of the visitor.

Then, he couldn't help but think: "Since Han Mingzi has arrived, then Tongtian Taoist... I'm afraid he will be here soon, right?"

As soon as the thought came to his mind, he shook his head gently to suppress it.

Now is not the time to think about that...

He quickly took out the Demon Subduing Formation from the Cangwu Order.

Immediately inject it with energy to activate it!

In an instant, the formation diagram burst into infinite divine light!

hum-

The whole world trembled at this moment.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged violently, sweeping towards the main formation like a wave!

Boom!

The power of the Demon Subduing Formation is interconnected with the power of the main formation, forming an extremely terrifying pressure!

The pressure was so strong that it seemed as if thousands of sacred mountains were collapsing at the same time!

Soon, the void began to shake, as if it was torn into countless cracks.

The laws of the entire world began to become unstable and fell into chaos!

In the distance, Liu Qingye and others who were originally looking for the young Zhuge Zi suddenly stopped. Their expressions changed suddenly, and deep shock appeared in their eyes.

"what happened?"

"The heaven and earth... seem to be affected by some force and are beginning to collapse!"

Strange black cracks tore through the void.

Not only the demons, but even the human monks who were fighting, their figures began to alternate between real and fake, as if they would be wiped out at any time!

This scene looks like a sign before the world collapses!

At the same time, the figure hiding in the dark trembled suddenly, with surprise and anger in his eyes!

"Damn it!"

The evil corpse's figure was exposed, and he stared at Jiang Beixuan with a gloomy expression.

"Impossible! How could you possibly connect directly to the main formation?! You clearly need to find that treasure to pass the third level, you..."

After saying that, he quickly noticed the Demon Subduing Formation in the other party's hand.

"This is......."

The evil corpse narrowed his eyes slightly and soon felt a familiar breath from the demon-suppressing formation diagram.

That is the breath of the real body!

"You bastard! You're already dead and you still want to trick me!!"

The evil corpse suddenly roared, and the anger in his eyes almost turned into substance.

He never expected that the original body had secretly left behind such a crucial backup plan without his knowledge!

Just by borrowing the formation diagram, one can connect to the main formation, thereby ignoring some of the means laid out by oneself and forcibly seizing authority.

But what made him most angry was that Jiang Beixuan, a tiny ant, knew the risks involved, but still dared to seize the authority without hesitation.

"Damn it... Do you know what you are doing?!"

The evil corpse roared, and rushed out violently, rushing towards Jiang Beixuan in an instant.

however--

"You only realize it now, it's too late."

Jiang Beixuan smiled coldly and lightly tapped with two fingers.

hum-

The Demon Subduing Formation Diagram shook violently.

The power of the laws of the main formation surged out like a raging wave, forcing the evil corpse back in an instant!

"The power left by the original body?"

The evil corpse snorted coldly.

He could clearly sense that the main formation was completely connected with the strange formation diagram.

In other words, Jiang Beixuan has successfully seized the supreme control of Wanquan City!

At this moment, the two saints in the distance witnessed this scene, their pupils suddenly shrank, and they were shocked.

"...He...actually forced Senior Zhugezi to retreat?"

"No, that disgusting aura is definitely not something Senior Zhugezi can emit."

The two looked at each other, and saw shock and confusion in each other's eyes.

Their eyes fell on the evil corpse again.

"If he's not Senior Zhugezi... then who is he?"

Before they could think deeply, the evil corpse snorted coldly, his eyes as cold as a knife, staring at Jiang Beixuan.

"So what if I seize authority?"

He raised his palm, demonic energy surged in his palm, and traces of dark red runes emerged in the void, beating as if with life, captivating the heart.

but--

Jiang Beixuan ignored all this, but followed the method taught by Zhuge Zizhinian and began to mobilize the void storm outside the world with the highest authority of Wanquan City.

One breath... Two breaths... Three breaths...

Jiang Beixuan raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes.

He clearly sensed that there was no void storm in the sky above this world!

"Ok?"

Jiang Beixuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and quickly deduced in his mind, and in an instant he realized that something was wrong.

Is Zhuge Zi's obsession lying?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he decisively denied it.

"No...not possible."

Based on his experience, Zhuge Zi's obsession was not lying, so the only explanation was -

He slowly raised his eyes, fixed his gaze on the evil corpse, and said indifferently:

"You... did something?"

Upon hearing this, the evil corpse showed a sneer on his face, and the fear deep in his eyes was quickly covered up by sarcasm.

He sneered, his eyes teasing: "Void Storm? Haha..."

After saying this, he raised his head and looked at the world.

"The original body thought it had everything planned out perfectly, and thought it could use this so-called void storm to completely destroy me."

"But how could I not have noticed it over the years?"

He raised his hand slightly, looked around, and a sinister arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Void Storm?"

“Yes, it did exist back then.”

"Besides, the original owner's plan almost worked... Unfortunately, he underestimated me."

Having said that, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he slowly spoke:

"I was able to suppress the good corpse and seize some of its authority because... I took advantage of this void storm!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the field was shocked!

"what?!"

Liu Qingye's eyes suddenly widened, and an unprecedented shock appeared on his face.

The two saints also looked horrified, as if they had heard some incredible secret.

They finally realized that what they had known all along was completely false!

I originally thought that this trial was presided over by Senior Zhuge Zi.

But now it seems that things are far more complicated than they imagined!

"What is he talking about...?"

"Good Corpse... In other words, when Zhuge Zi killed the three corpses, he also killed the Evil Corpse and the Good Corpse, and the Evil Corpse finally succeeded in killing the Good Corpse?!"

The two saints took a deep breath, a hint of disbelief appearing in the depths of their pupils.

If all this is true—

Then, the Lord of Trials that they have been facing all this time... is probably not the "Zhuge Zi" they thought, but the evil "evil corpse" in front of them!

"Doesn't that mean... we've been controlled by an evil corpse from the beginning to the end?"

Thinking of this, Liu Qingye was shocked and felt a slight chill on his back.

Seeing this, the evil corpse's sneer became more intense.

"It seems that you finally understand."

He clapped his hands lightly, a hint of mockery on his face: "How ridiculous..."

"Zhuge Zi's good corpse thought he could control everything, but in the end, I used the void storm to kill him."

"I thought I could leave a backup plan to stop my plan, but it was ultimately in vain."

"However, I actually have this trick up my sleeve. By allowing you to obtain this item, you can forcibly seize authority without having to pass the third level of the trial, rendering many of my previous arrangements ineffective. This is somewhat beyond my expectations, but... it doesn't matter."

"Since the authority is in your hands, I will just take it away. It will just cause more trouble."

The voice just fell.

boom--!

The evil corpse's body gradually changed.

Black and red turbid air gushed out from his body crazily, gathering into a monstrous demonic tide that covered the entire sky of Wanquan City.

The originally gentle look in his eyes completely disappeared, and a scarlet light shone in his eyes. He was like a demon who had fallen into hell, extremely cold!

At this moment, the laws of the entire world are collapsing!

however--

Just as the evil corpse took a step forward with a crazy laugh, ready to attack——

boom! !

A tremendous force suddenly descended from the sky, like an invisible giant hand, blocking all breaths and preventing the evil corpse from moving forward!

"Ok?"

The evil corpse's eyes darkened and he looked down, only to see countless complex golden runes emerging in the void, like chains of order, firmly imprisoning his limbs!

——This is the power of rules set by Zhuge Zi’s original body!
