Starting with the Earth God, the path to immortality is deduced!

A violent storm.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared.

The figures of Zhou Yuan and Ma Ling'er.

Running wildly through the muddy streets.

Rain hit my face.

Pain.

But neither of them paid any attention.

Their gaze.

He stared intently at the direction of the south gate.

There.

That glaring, blood-red signal.

It is being swallowed up by darkness little by little.

"Damn it!"

Zhou Yuan gritted his teeth.

Heart beating wildly.

"Uncle Liu, you must hold on!"

Ma Ling'er was so anxious that she stomped her feet.

"Old Zhou!"

"Faster!"

"I sense a very disgusting aura coming from over there!"

"Even more disgusting than that opera singer from before!"

Before he could finish speaking...

Roar--!

A deafening roar from a beast.

Suddenly, an explosion rang out from the dark alleyway ahead.

Followed by.

The earth began to tremble.

It's like a thousand troops galloping.

The roof tiles on both sides of the house.

This book was first published on 2009.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.

They were all shaken and rattled.

"What is that?!"

Zhou Yuan abruptly stopped in his tracks.

The Azure Lamp floated up.

It illuminated the street ahead.

hiss--!

The two of them gasped simultaneously.

All I could see was the street ahead.

It was densely packed with red eyes.

Like will-o'-the-wisps drifting in the night.

As the blue light spread.

The true forms of those monsters were revealed.

They are a pack of wild beasts.

But it's not an ordinary wild beast.

A wild boar as big as half a house.

Its fangs resemble two curved blades.

There were bits of unidentified meat hanging on it.

There are vicious wolves covered in bone spurs.

It was drooling with a foul odor.

There are also black bears that walk upright.

His eyes were bloodshot.

"this……"

"Where did all these monsters come from in Fengzhou City?!"

Ma Ling'er's eyes widened.

His face was filled with disbelief.

Something's not right.

Zhou Yuan frowned.

Blue light flickered in his eyes.

The all-seeing eye instantly opened.

In his field of vision.

Inside these monsters' bodies.

There wasn't much demonic energy.

Instead, it was filled with a murky black mist.

And in their heart area.

Each one was inhabited by a black worm about the size of a thumb.

They are frantically devouring their heart's blood.

It stimulates their nerves.

"It's the Heart-Eating Gu!"

Zhou Yuan shouted sternly.

"They're being controlled!"

"These are not the wild beasts of the city."

"They were specifically captured from deep in the mountains and forests."

"Weapons for sieges were forged using sorcery!"

clap clap-

A burst of crisp applause.

It came from behind the herd of beasts.

"Good eye."

"He truly deserves to be called the local deity of Fengzhou."

A sinister voice rang out.

The herd of animals slowly parted.

Several strange figures dressed in animal skins and with their faces painted with oil paint.

He was holding a bone flute and a command flag.

He walked out slowly.

The leader.

He wore a skull necklace around his neck.

He was toying with a completely black scorpion in his hand.

He looked at Zhou Yuan with disdain.

"What a pity."

"Good eyesight."

"I can't save your life."

"today."

"This is where you will die!"

The man suddenly blew the bone flute in his hand.

Waaah—!

A sharp, piercing flute sound.

It pierced through the rain curtain in an instant.

Roar!Roar!Roar!

Stimulated by the sound of the flute.

Those already restless and unruly monsters.

It instantly descended into a frenzy.

They roared to the sky.

The red light in his eyes intensified.

It was like he'd gone mad.

They launched an attack on Zhou Yuan and Ma Ling'er.

The earth roared.

A foul stench filled the air.

That tragic atmosphere.

It's absolutely suffocating.

"You want to kill me?"

"dream!"

A cold glint flashed in Zhou Yuan's eyes.

Take a step forward.

The Earth God Seal in his hand suddenly lit up.

"I am the local deity of Fengzhou!"

"This area."

"All beings, heed my command!"

"Kneel down!"

boom!

A powerful aura belonging to the Earth God.

Centered on Zhou Yuan.

It erupted instantly.

That is the will of the earth!

It is the majesty of the chief of all beings!

however.

The anticipated scene of the beasts submitting did not occur.

Those demonic beasts that charged at the very front.

His body paused slightly.

A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

But next second.

The sound of the bone flute became more urgent.

The Heart-Eating Gu inside them writhed wildly.

The excruciating pain overwhelmed reason.

Roar!

The huge wild boar was the first to attack.

They ignored Kamui's suppression.

Head down.

It looks like a heavy tank.

It slammed into Zhou Yuan.

"not good!"

"Kamui has failed!"

Zhou Yuan's expression changed.

The minds of these demonic beasts have been completely controlled by the Gu worms.

They have no idea what reverence is!

"Old Zhou!"

Stop showing off!

"These beasts can't understand human language!"

At a critical moment.

A petite figure blocked Zhou Yuan's path.

It was Ma Ling'er.

The demon-subduing staff in her hand shone with golden light.

"Get out!"

"Hold on for me!"

Roar--!

The panda fairy next to him let out an angry roar.

Its massive body leaped forward suddenly.

They went straight to meet the charging wild boar.

boom!

The collision of meat against meat.

It emitted a loud, muffled thunderclap.

Although the rolling ball is not as large as a wild boar.

But it is an iron-eating beast.

Its power is astonishing.

It gripped the wild boar's two tusks tightly.

Their feet dug two deep furrows in the ground.

They managed to stop the wild boar's charge.

"Awooo—"

The wolves on both sides seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

It opened its blood-red maw.

It bit at Ma Ling'er's neck.

"Get out of here!"

Ma Ling'er gave a sharp rebuke.

The Demon-Subduing Staff swept across the battlefield.

Bang bang bang!

Several wolves were sent flying by the blows.

Broken bones and torn tendons.

But these monsters seemed to have no sense of pain.

He got up as soon as he landed.

It continued its frenzied attack.

"Damn it!"

"How come we can't kill all these things?!"

Ma Ling'er waved the stick.

He shouted loudly.

"Old Zhou!"

"Think of a solution quickly!"

"Gungung can't hold on much longer!"

At this moment, the rolling...

Although incredibly brave.

But there were just too many monsters.

Several bloody wounds had appeared on his body.

The black and white hair was dyed red.

Zhou Yuan saw it all.

I'm very anxious.

Conventional methods.

It's useless against these mindless puppets.

We must solve this problem at its source!

"Heart-Eating Gu..."

"control……"

Zhou Yuan's brain was working at lightning speed.

"Got it!"

"Strange Tales of the Supernatural!"

hum!

In my mind.

The mysterious ancient book was turned once more.

Zhou Yuan did not hesitate at all.

It directly mobilized a large amount of Yin energy obtained from killing the Thousand-Faced Gentleman.

"Deduction!"

"Give me a method to deduce and control this!"

Splash!

The pages were flipping wildly.

A large amount of yin energy is burning.

It transformed into countless mysterious runes.

The divine soul surged into Zhou Yuan.

[The Heart-Eating Gu, a dark art from the Miao region, corrupts the mind and spirit.]

[Deduction directions: Soul soothing, beast taming, breaking the curse.]

[Gained Supernatural Power: Earth Deity Taming Technique!]

boom!

A golden light exploded in Zhou Yuan's mind.

Countless methods for taming beasts and breaking curses.

Instantly grasped the essence.

"Ling'er!"

"Give me ten breaths!"

Zhou Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.

He roared.

Then he sat down cross-legged.

His hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals.

"Ten breaths?"

"Are you trying to kill me?!"

Ma Ling'er smashed the head of a vicious wolf with a stick.

panting.

"OK!"

"This old lady is going all out today!"

"Please let a spirit possess me!"

boom!

A wild aura suddenly erupted from Ma Ling'er.

Her pupils instantly turned into beastly eyes.

The power surged.

They actually threw away the Demon-Subduing Staff.

He charged into the horde of beasts with his bare hands.

Every punch thrown.

They all carried the sounds of tigers roaring and dragons howling.

He stood firmly in front of Zhou Yuan.

They built a line of defense with flesh and blood.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

Zhou Yuan's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

He channeled all his spiritual power.

He poured it all into the divine seal in his hand without reservation.

He was muttering to himself.

That was an ancient and obscure incantation.

It was like a call from ancient times.

"All things have a spirit."

"Return to dust."

"A heart as pure as ice."

"I remain calm even if the sky collapses."

As the incantation was chanted.

Visible concentric circles of yellowish-brown ripples.

Centered on Zhou Yuan.

It spread outwards.

Where the ripples passed.

The torrential rain seemed to have stopped.

Five breaths.

Six breaths.

Those ferocious monsters.

The movements began to slow down.

The crazy red light in his eyes.

There was actually a slight struggle.

The beast-skin evil master behind them changed his expression drastically.

"He's breaking the law!"

"quick!"

"Play the flute!"

"Send all the monsters at once!"

"Tear him to pieces!"

Waaaaah—!

The sound of the bone flute became extremely mournful.

It was like a demonic sound filling the ears.

The monsters roared in agony.

My head is about to explode.

They pounced on Zhou Yuan again in a frenzy.

"Eight breaths..."

"Nine breaths..."

Ma Ling'er was covered in blood.

The panda was already teetering on the brink of collapse.

A huge black bear.

They have already broken through the defenses.

Raise a huge bear paw.

It slammed down hard on Zhou Yuan's head.

The wind howled through the palm.

It carried the scent of death.

"Old Zhou—!"

Ma Ling'er screamed in despair.

Just when the bear paw was only an inch away from Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.

eyes.

Shining with golden light!

"Ten breaths!"

"become!"

boom--!

A dazzling beam of light.

It soared into the sky from Zhou Yuan.

It shattered the falling bear paw.

The black bear let out a miserable cry.

Its massive body was sent flying backward.

"A spell to soothe the soul!"

"Duh!"

Zhou Yuan let out a loud shout.

It was a household name.

In that sound.

It contains the power to break Gu poison derived from supernatural tales and myths.

It pierced directly through the rain curtain.

It drowned out the piercing sound of the bone flute.

time.

It was as if everything had stopped at that moment.

All the monsters.

The movements stopped simultaneously.

The Heart-Eating Gu within them.

It was like encountering a nemesis.

Violent trembling.

Then a slight popping sound was heard.

Puff puff--

Countless drops of black blood.

It spewed out from the mouth and nose of the monster.

next second.

The red light in their eyes dissipated.

Instead.

It is a touch of clarity.

as well as……

An overwhelming rage!

They remembered.

I remembered who took them from their homes.

They remembered who had planted the poisonous insects inside them.

I remember who used them as cannon fodder!

"roar--!"

A roar filled with resentment.

It came from the mouth of the largest wild boar.

It slowly turned around.

Those huge eyes.

He stared intently at the evil sorcerers behind him.

All the monsters.

They all turned around.

Hundreds of pairs of eyes filled with murderous intent.

At the same time, they locked onto those strange men in animal skins.

"this……"

"How is this possible?!"

The leader of the evil sorcerers.

The bone flute in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud".

It was smashed to pieces.

His face.

For the first time, extreme fear was revealed.

"No……"

"Obey my orders!"

"I am your master!"

He tried to pick up the command flag from the ground.

But it was too late.

"kill!"

Zhou Yuan coldly uttered a single word.

Roar!

A stampede of beasts.

This time.

Their target is not Zhou Yuan.

Rather, they were the masters who had enslaved them.

This is the backlash!

"ah--!"

"Help!"

"Don't come any closer!"

A heart-wrenching scream.

The sound instantly resounded through the night sky.

Those evil masters.

They were instantly overwhelmed by the enraged horde of beasts.

Their proud animal control skills.

But now it has become a death warrant.

Blood splattered.

Limbs flew everywhere.

That scene.

It's more terrifying than hell.

Zhou Yuan watched this scene quietly.

There was no pity whatsoever.

Good and evil will eventually be rewarded.

It's not that we won't report it.

The time is not yet right.

"call……"

Ma Ling'er plopped down on the ground.

He was panting heavily.

The possession by the spirit has been dispelled.

He looked like he had been pulled out of the water.

"Old Zhou..."

"You're really something..."

"They managed to turn this around..."

"I almost thought I was going to die here today..."

Zhou Yuan stepped forward.

He handed her a pill to restore her strength.

Then his gaze turned to the center of the battlefield.

There.

The leader of the evil sorcerers is not quite dead yet.

He only had half a body left.

He was desperately crawling out of the pool of blood.

His eyes were filled with resentment and malice.

"The Holy Church of Wukong..."

"We won't let you get away with this..."

"Master..."

"The cult leader will definitely..."

Zhou Yuan walked up to him.

Looking down at him.

"Your cult leader."

"I can't save you."

He stretched out his hand.

It was pressed on the evil teacher's forehead.

"Strange Tales of Gods and Monsters".

"Sacrifice!"

hum!

A black vortex appeared.

The evil sorcerer didn't even have time to let out a scream.

The remnant soul was directly absorbed into the book.

Whoosh!

The pages of the book are turned.

A surge of yin energy returned.

But that wasn't what Zhou Yuan was concerned about at the moment.

Instead, it was accompanied by sacrifice.

A fragment of memory flooded my mind.

on the screen.

It is a deep, unfathomable primeval forest.

Deep in the jungle.

There is a huge underground altar.

On the altar.

A strange statue is enshrined there.

The statue had nine heads.

Every head.

They were all bleeding black blood.

And below the altar.

The place was packed with people kneeling.

No.

It's not just people.

There were countless other monsters like the ones we just saw.

It is currently undergoing renovation.

"That is..."

"Black Wind Mountain outside Fengzhou City?"

Zhou Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.

A look of horror flashed in his eyes.

He saw it.

In the final moments of that memory.

A blurry figure stood atop the altar.

He was holding a map in his hand.

They were planning how to take over the entire Fengzhou.

It turned into a huge "dead city".

Come and make offerings to that "ghost earth god"!

"I see……"

"Preparations for the Void Religion".

"It's far more comprehensive than we imagined."

"They're not just causing destruction in the city."

"In the deep mountains outside the city."

"And there's still a large army of demonic beasts hidden there!"

Zhou Yuan's heart.

It sank to the bottom of the valley.

Tonight's operation.

Just a start.

A real disaster.

It's still to come.

"Old Zhou."

"What's wrong?"

"Why do you look so pale?"

Ma Ling'er noticed Zhou Yuan's unusual behavior.

He struggled to his feet.

"fine."

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath.

Suppress the turmoil in my heart.

Now is not the time to think about these things.

top priority.

It's to save Uncle Liu!

He raised his head.

Look towards the south gate.

The sounds of battle could be heard there.

It seems to be gradually weakening.

rain.

It's still raining.

But that chilling sense of deathly stillness.

But it's getting stronger and stronger.

"Walk!"

"Uncle Liu is still waiting for us!"

Zhou Yuan pulled Ma Ling'er up.

They didn't care about being exposed or not.

Directly use Earth Escape Technique.

With Ma Ling'er and Gun Gun.

It transformed into a beam of yellow light.

It disappeared underground.

"We absolutely have to make it!"

……

South Gate.

Beside the stone lion.

This place has been reduced to ruins.

The once majestic stone lion.

It has now shattered into pieces.

The ground was covered in blood.

And the traces left by the fight.

but.

nobody.

There were no bodies found.

Only that dim oil lamp.

It fell alone in the mud.

The flames have gone out.

"Uncle Liu?!"

The figures of Zhou Yuan and Ma Ling'er.

It emerged from underground.

The two looked at the empty battlefield.

My heart sank instantly.

Where are they?

Where is Uncle Liu?!

Ma Ling'er shouted anxiously.

Her voice was choked with sobs.

Zhou Yuan remained silent.

他颤抖着手。

Pick up the oil lamp from the ground.

That was Uncle Liu's magic weapon, which he never parted with.

It can be said to be his lifeline.

The light is there and the people are there.

Lights out...

Zhou Yuan dared not think any further.

He gripped the oil lamp tightly.

The knuckles are turning white.

"Soul connection..."

"open!"

He disregarded the cost.

I forcibly activated my senses again.

Trying to find Uncle Liu's presence.

but.

There was only cold rain all around.

And lingering evil spirits.

Uncle Liu's aura.

It was as if it had vanished into thin air.

"No……"

"impossible……"

Zhou Yuan muttered to himself.

Just then.

A slight coughing sound.

The sound came from the nearby ruins.

"Cough cough..."

The sound was very faint.

If it weren't for Zhou Yuan's exceptional hearing...

I can't hear anything at all.

"Over there!"

Zhou Yuan felt like he had grasped at a straw.

He rushed over like a madman.

Ma Ling'er followed closely behind.

The two men pried open the collapsed brick wall.

at last.

In a small corner.

I saw that familiar figure.

Uncle Liu leaned against the corner of the wall.

He was covered in blood.

Chest area.

A black longsword was stuck in the ground.

It pierced straight through his heart.

blood.

The ground beneath his feet was already stained red.

"Uncle Liu!"

Zhou Yuan felt a sudden darkness before his eyes.

I almost fell to the ground.

He and Ma Ling'er pounced on them.

I want to help Uncle Liu pull out his sword.

But they dared not make a move.

"Don't...don't move..."

Uncle Liu opened his eyes with difficulty.

I saw the two of them.

That ashen face.

He even showed a hint of a relieved smile.

"You...have arrived..."

"Are you... not hurt?"

"Uncle Liu..."

Tears welled up in Ma Ling'er's eyes.

"Who did this?"

"I'm going to kill him!"

Uncle Liu shook his head slightly.

Each word spoken.

Blood and foam will then well up in your mouth.

"It doesn't matter anymore..."

"Cough cough..."

"Listen..."

"The true goal of the Void Religion..."

"No...it wasn't about bombing Fengzhou..."

Uncle Liu suddenly grabbed Zhou Yuan's hand tightly.

He has incredible strength.

His eyes.

At this moment, everything became crystal clear.

That was a final burst of energy before death.

"What is that...?"

Zhou Yuan suppressed his grief.

He put his ear close to Uncle Liu's mouth.

Uncle Liu took a deep breath.

Using the last bit of strength.

He said something that sent chills down Zhou Yuan's spine.

"They...are to be resurrected..."

"Ancient... Evil God..."

"Nether...Dragon..."

"It's... deep within... the earth's ley lines..."

After saying that...

Uncle Liu's hands.

It drooped down limply.

The light in his eyes.

Dissipate completely.

"Uncle Liu—!!!"

A heart-wrenching cry.

Wandering in the torrential rain of the night.

For a long time.

……

rain.

Go down and get bigger.

It was as if even the heavens were weeping for the passing of this old man.

Zhou Yuan knelt in the mud.

He let the rain wash over his body.

He looked at Uncle Liu's peaceful face.

heart.

There was no more sadness.

There was only one ball of fire.

A raging fire of revenge, powerful enough to incinerate the entire world.

It is burning fiercely.

"The Nether Dragon, is it?"

"An evil god, is it?"

Zhou Yuan slowly stood up.

The book "Strange Tales of Gods and Monsters" in my hand.

At this moment.

It opened automatically.

It emitted an unprecedentedly dazzling red light.

It seemed as if it too was yearning for blood.

"Since you want to play."

"Then I'll play along with you to the very end."

Zhou Yuan raised his head.

I looked up at the pitch-black night sky.

His voice was as cold as iron.

"The sky over Fengzhou."

"I am Zhou Yuan."

"We'll hold on!"
