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

The troop had barely left the city, less than three miles away.

That pale, fish-belly-like white that originally represented hope.

It suddenly disappeared.

It doesn't disappear slowly.

Instead, it felt like being held by an invisible giant hand.

It was abruptly extinguished.

"stop!"

Zhou Yuan suddenly raised his hand.

Their feet were firmly rooted to the spot.

The soil beneath my feet.

It became scalding hot in that instant.

It's as if the water flowing below isn't groundwater.

It is boiling magma.

"What's wrong, Lao Zhou?"

Ma Ling'er was riding on the back of the Wild Boar King.

He was still toying with the demon-subduing staff in his hand.

He looked like he wanted more.

"We haven't even reached Black Wind Mountain yet."

"Do you need to pee?"

She made a joke that wasn't funny at all.

They tried to alleviate the sudden oppressive atmosphere.

But Zhou Yuan didn't laugh.

His expression.

It was even more gloomy than the vanished dawn.

"Look at the sky."

Zhou Yuan's voice was cold.

It was as cold as ice crystals squeezed out from between your teeth.

Ma Ling'er subconsciously looked up.

The smile on his face.

It froze instantly.

The sky should have been bright by dawn.

At this moment, it is being frantically swallowed up by countless ink-like dark clouds.

Those dark clouds.

It was so heavy it was suffocating.

It was pressed down very low.

It seemed within reach.

And within those rolling clouds.

There was no chaotic silver snake dance as commonly seen.

Instead.

They were streaks of blood-red lightning.

It's sizzling!

A bolt of blood-red lightning tore through the sky.

There was no thunder.

All that could be heard was a tooth-grinding tearing sound.

It was as if the heavens had been slashed open with a bloody gash.

"This lightning..."

"Why is it red?"

Ma Ling'er muttered to herself.

The demon-subduing staff in his hand began to tremble slightly.

The runes on it.

It is flashing wildly.

Warning!

This is an extremely dangerous sign!

"It's not thunder."

Zhou Yuan squinted.

Golden light shimmered in his pupils.

The divine soul power of the Half-Step Day Traveler was operating at full capacity.

He stared intently at the blood-red sky.

"That's malevolent energy."

"Extremely rich and concentrated."

"The bloodthirsty aura that triggers changes in celestial phenomena!"

Rumbling--

Just then.

A dull, loud bang.

Suddenly it came from behind.

It didn't come from the direction of Black Wind Mountain in the sky.

Instead, it comes from...

Inside Fengzhou City!

Zhou Yuan suddenly turned around.

My gaze passed over the towering city walls.

It pierces straight to the tallest building in the city center.

City God Temple!

"There……"

Something's happened.

Zhou Yuan's heart clenched.

He sensed it.

The earth beneath my feet was groaning.

Originally, after a night of sorting...

The ley lines have barely managed to regain their tranquility.

It then became violent again.

and.

It's even more chaotic than before.

even crazier.

It's like a giant dragon trapped in chains.

It was struggling frantically.

We must remove the shackles from our bodies.

Tear it off, skin and all!

"not good!"

"The seal is collapsing!"

Zhou Yuan's expression changed drastically.

The earth god's seal within him.

It suddenly started to get extremely hot.

That burning sensation.

It rushes straight to the sea of ​​consciousness along the meridians.

Heartbreaking.

Right in this very second.

A faint glimmer of light.

It flew out of the city in a crooked and erratic manner.

It was a paper crane.

Its entire body was engulfed in eerie green flames.

That was Uncle Liu's unique method of communication.

But this paper crane.

It was too difficult to fly.

It was as if they were carrying an immense burden.

It hadn't even flown to Zhou Yuan yet.

It had already burned down to only half of its wings.

"Xiao Zhou..."

Uncle Liu's voice.

It came from the remains of the paper crane.

No longer the composure and cunning of before.

Instead, he carried an anxiety he had never felt before.

Even...

despair.

"Run!"

"Don't go to Black Wind Mountain!"

"That's a ruse!"

"That madman Lin Xuan..."

"He had no intention of proceeding gradually!"

"He placed the altar..."

"It was set up directly beneath the main hall of the City God Temple!"

"He's forcibly opening the Abyss of Nothingness!"

"I couldn't stop him..."

"Damn it!"

"He sacrificed the entire city's ghost land!"

The sound stopped abruptly.

The paper crane was completely reduced to ashes.

Dissipated in the gale.

Zhou Yuan stood still.

I felt like half of my blood had turned cold.

Lin Xuan.

He was familiar with the name.

The Archbishop of the Anavatapta Church.

A mastermind who has been hiding behind the scenes.

did not expect.

This guy is incredibly crazy.

So resolute.

"A diversionary tactic?"

"No."

"This is a two-pronged approach."

"Black Wind Mountain is a trap."

"It's also a backup plan."

"But what if we get bogged down there?"

"In the city..."

"It's completely over."

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath.

in the air.

The freshness after the rain is gone.

Instead.

It has a nauseatingly sweet, fishy smell.

That's the aura of an evil god.

boom!

Another loud bang.

This time, the sound.

It's ten times bigger than before.

In the center of Fengzhou City, all that could be seen was...

That city god temple represents orthodox deities.

A black pillar of light suddenly rose up.

Go straight into the sky.

It connects with the blood-red clouds in the sky.

In an instant.

The world changed color.

"Waaaaah—"

"ah--"

Indistinctly.

Zhou Yuan seemed to hear the cries of countless people.

It came from inside the city.

That was fear.

It is despair.

It is the sound of faith collapsing.

"Old Zhou!"

"Look at the idol!"

Ma Ling'er suddenly pointed at Zhou Yuan.

He exclaimed in surprise.

Zhou Yuan lowered his head.

Look at your palm.

All that could be seen was the illusory seal of the Earth God in his palm.

It was now covered with cracks.

A wisp of black mist.

Following those cracks.

They desperately tried to squeeze inside.

"This is……"

Zhou Yuan felt nauseous.

The little soul figure in the sea of ​​consciousness.

It also shook for a moment.

Originally pure golden wish power.

It has now become mottled and broken.

Those believers who regularly worship him.

Those people who shouted "The local deity has appeared!"

Their thoughts.

changed.

It's no longer about praying for peace.

It's no longer about being grateful.

Instead, it was filled with violence, greed, and madness.

"The Unborn Mother, the Realm of Emptiness..."

"Believe in my religion and you will enjoy eternal life..."

Countless noisy whispers.

Following the corrupted incense.

It was directly implanted into Zhou Yuan's mind.

That's the heresy of the Wukong Sect!

They are distorting faith!

They are polluting the divine way!

"Damn it!"

"They're stealing my offerings!"

Zhou Yuan's eyes burned with rage.

He understood what had happened.

That thing in the City God Temple.

The "Ghost Land" cultivated by the Wukong Sect.

Take advantage of this opportunity to forcibly open the abyss.

Breakthrough!

It is frantically devouring all the divine fortune within Fengzhou City.

It wants to take its place!

It wants to become the city of Fengzhou...

The only "God"!

"The cuckoo has taken over the magpie's nest..."

"How dare you!"

Zhou Yuan gritted his teeth until they broke.

A territory has been violated.

The anger of having one's authority desecrated.

It made him tremble all over.

This is not just a battle between good and evil.

This is a struggle over the fundamental principles!

"Old Zhou, what should we do?"

"Should we still attack Black Wind Mountain?"

Ma Ling'er looked at Zhou Yuan's ferocious expression.

They also realized the seriousness of the problem.

She gripped the demon-subduing staff tightly.

The knuckles are turning white.

"Screw you!"

Zhou Yuan suddenly turned around.

With their backs to Black Wind Mountain.

Facing the city of Fengzhou shrouded in black mist.

His eyes burned with murderous intent.

"My house is about to be robbed!"

"Why bother with outposts?"

"Those bastards."

"Since you don't want to live."

"Then I'll grant their wish!"

He stomped his foot suddenly.

boom!

The ground trembled.

An invisible fluctuation.

It spread instantly.

Those demonic beast armies that were originally heading towards Black Wind Mountain.

They all stopped in their tracks.

It let out an uneasy growl.

"change!"

Zhou Yuan roared angrily.

His voice was as loud as a bell.

It exploded directly in the minds of all the demonic beasts.

Hundreds of demonic beasts.

Without any hesitation.

Led by the Wild Boar King and the Rolling Panda.

The direction was abruptly changed.

Those red eyes.

He stared intently at the city gate of Fengzhou.

"Ling'er".

"The plans have changed."

Zhou Yuan's voice.

He became unusually calm.

That was the stillness before the storm.

"Over there at Black Wind Mountain."

"Never mind it."

"Since Lin Xuan wants to have a final battle at the City God Temple."

"Then we'll grant his wish."

"Straight to the heart of the enemy!"

Ma Ling'er took a deep breath.

A crazy smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"good!"

"I've disliked that City God Temple for a long time!"

"It's creepy."

"It'll be perfect to burn it all down!"

Zhou Yuan nodded.

But he did not charge immediately.

Instead, he closed his eyes.

Reconnect with the Earth God Seal within your body.

Although the divine seal was damaged.

Although incense is poisonous.

But he remains the rightful guardian of this land.

"Uncle Wang!"

"Can you hear me?"

Zhou Yuan's divine thoughts.

It pierced through the thick black fog.

They descended directly upon the mortuary.

……

Inside the mortuary.

The situation was completely chaotic at that moment.

The celestial phenomena outside have changed.

This threw everyone into a panic.

Wang Bo was holding the "General's Order".

They led a group of local deities to guard the entrance.

Sudden.

Zhou Yuan's voice echoed in his mind.

majesty.

grand.

Undeniable.

"Zhou...Brother Zhou?"

Uncle Wang was so frightened that he shuddered.

I almost threw the wooden sign on the ground.

Listen up!

"Something big has happened in the city."

"The Wukong Sect intends to open the Abyss at the City God Temple."

"I'm on my way back."

"But I need time!"

Zhou Yuan's voice was urgent.

"Starting now."

"You lead everyone."

"No matter what happens outside."

"No matter what sound you hear."

"Don't even step outside the mortuary!"

"besides."

"Release the ghost."

"Let it guard the back door of the coffin shop."

"It's connected to an underground river."

"We must not allow evil spirits to find a loophole there!"

"in addition."

"Tell the neighbors."

"Keep the doors and windows tightly closed."

"Put the talisman on."

"Don't open the door for anyone!"

Even if I were to knock on the door...

"Don't open it!"

Uncle Wang listened to this series of orders.

My back was already soaked with cold sweat.

He didn't understand what an abyss was.

But he could understand the resolute tone in Zhou Yuan's voice.

This is going to be a fight to the death!

"Brother Zhou..."

Don't worry!

"I'll take care of it right away, old man!"

"If you don't come back..."

"This mortuary."

"That's where our men's graves are!"

……

They severed ties with the mortuary.

Zhou Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

at this time.

The crimson lightning in the sky became even more concentrated.

One after another.

It struck the golden roof of the City God Temple.

Each chop.

The black beam of light grew thicker.

The entire city of Fengzhou.

It's like a big pot being heated.

And the people inside.

It's just fish meat waiting to be slaughtered.

"We can't wait any longer."

Zhou Yuan glanced at Ma Ling'er.

I glanced at the panda again.

"This battle."

"I might die."

Are you scared?

Ma Ling'er rolled her eyes.

He simply slung the Demon-Subduing Staff over his shoulder.

"Afraid?"

"The Ma family."

"The word 'fear' doesn't exist in the dictionary!"

"We'll see."

"Second Uncle is still looking for Uncle Liu in the city."

"If I run away..."

"Won't my dad break my legs when I get back?"

She patted the wild boar king beneath her.

"Big guy."

"Rush!"

"Who dares to block the way?"

"I'll run him over and kill him!"

Roar!

The wild boar king let out a deafening roar.

Four hooves flying.

It kicked up a trail of dust.

He charged out first.

The panda was not to be outdone.

He threw the bamboo shoot out of his mouth.

Its round body was incredibly agile.

In just a few leaps, it surged to the front.

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath.

One last look at Fengzhou, shrouded in dark clouds.

He made a grabbing motion in the air with his right hand.

A simple, ancient lamp.

It appeared in his hands.

That is the blue ghost lamp.

now.

The originally faint flame on the wick.

It suddenly grew three inches.

It turned into an eerie, ghostly blue.

"In my name."

"Commanding Yin and Yang!"

"kill!"

Zhou Yuan's figure swayed.

It turned into a fleeting afterimage.

It rushed into the midst of the raging wind and rain.

Behind.

Hundreds of demonic beasts surged like a black torrent.

Roaring.

He roared.

It carried an aura of world-destroying power.

It crashed into the ancient city that was on the verge of collapse.

……

At this time, in Fengzhou City.

It was already in complete chaos.

The once bustling streets.

There was no one there at the moment.

All that remained were paper money scattered on the ground and signs blown away by the wind.

But in the dark alley.

But it was packed with people.

Those honest and simple people who are usually honest and simple.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were bloodshot.

He was holding a kitchen knife and a wooden stick.

Even stones.

He was muttering those chilling scriptures.

"Without an abduction, all beings would suffer..."

"Only by sacrificing oneself for righteousness can one find liberation..."

Several members of the Void Cult dressed in black robes.

Standing on high ground.

He was holding a bell in his hand.

It kept shaking.

That bell.

Sharp and piercing.

It's like it can drill into a person's bones.

"Look!"

"That is the calamity brought down by a false god!"

"Only those who believe in the Holy Ancestor Wukong."

"Only then can we escape this calamity!"

A believer pointed to the blood-red lightning in the sky.

They were loudly inciting and persuading.

"Kill those heretics who don't believe in the religion!"

"With their blood."

"Come and wash away our sins!"

"roar!"

The crowd erupted in cheers.

They were like wild beasts that had lost their minds.

It rushed towards the shops and houses with their doors tightly closed.

boom! boom! boom!

The sound of banging on the door.

Cries and screams.

Screams.

One after another.

And in the square in front of the City God Temple.

It has attracted thousands of believers.

They knelt on the ground.

He kowtowed frantically at the temple gate.

His forehead was scraped.

Blood was everywhere.

But he didn't realize it.

The temple gates were wide open.

It was pitch black inside.

It's like a giant maw that devours everything.

In the very center of that great hall.

The City God statue originally had a kind and benevolent expression.

It has now turned black.

His facial features were distorted.

A strange smile played on his lips.

Below the statue.

A figure dressed in a red robe.

It was facing away from the main gate.

He was holding a dagger that was still dripping blood.

Blood is being drained into a huge blood tank.

That health bar.

It connects to the depths of the earth.

Gumbling.

It looks like there's something there.

It is greedily sucking up this fresh blood.

"Soon..."

"It'll be soon..."

The man in the red robe turned around.

He revealed a pale yet handsome face.

It was none other than the Master of Wukong.

Lin Xuan.

In his eyes.

It shimmered with a frenzied light.

"Just another fifteen minutes."

"Lord Nether Dragon will be able to break the seal."

"At that time."

"The entire Fengzhou."

"No."

"The entire world."

"They will all be our hunting grounds!"

He looked up and glanced outside.

It seemed to have sensed something.

A mocking sneer curled at the corner of his lips.

"Zhou Yuan?"

"That little earth god?"

"hehe."

"Only now you've remembered to come back?"

"Too late!"

"It's too late!"

He suddenly waved his hand.

"Activate the city's protective formation!"

"Get those wild beasts out of there."

"And that reckless brat."

"Keep them all outside!"

"I want him to see it with his own eyes."

"How powerless he was."

"Look at this city."

"In front of him."

"It will become hell!"

hum!

With Lin Xuan's command.

The area surrounding Fengzhou City.

Suddenly, a blood-red light curtain rose up.

The light screen was incredibly thick.

Countless hideous ghost faces floated across it.

It blocked Zhou Yuan and the beast horde's path.

boom!

The wild boar king charging at the very front.

He crashed headfirst into the light screen.

It produced a loud, muffled thud.

A massive body.

He was actually bounced away.

He fell heavily to the ground.

"Aww—"

The wild boar king let out a painful roar.

Its fur was as hard as iron.

It was so corroded that it was charred black.

Puffs of white smoke rose up.

"stop!"

Zhou Yuan slammed on the brakes.

It stopped in front of the light screen.

Looking at this barrier filled with an evil aura.

His face was extremely ugly.

"Blood Refining Soul-Locking Array..."

Ma Ling'er gasped.

I recognized the formation at a glance.

"This is a forbidden technique!"

"It would take the souls of nine hundred and ninety-nine living people to lay this down!"

"Those beasts!"

"How many people did they kill?!"

Zhou Yuan remained silent.

He simply held the blue ghost lamp tightly.

The knuckles made a cracking sound due to excessive force.

He looked behind the light screen.

Those civilians who are being slaughtered.

Looking at the City God Temple shrouded in black mist.

The anger in my heart.

It finally erupted completely.

"Lin Xuan!"

A roar.

It passed through the light curtain.

The sound echoed throughout the entire city of Fengzhou.

"Listen up, you bastard!"

"today."

"This broken formation."

"You can't stop me!"

"Your life."

"Even the King of Hell won't take you."

"I, Zhou Yuan..."

"Take it!"

boom!

Zhou Yuan suddenly raised the book "Strange Tales of Gods and Monsters" in his hand.

The vast divine power within his body, a power that was halfway to the Sunrise Realm.

It was poured into it without reservation.

The pages of the book are turned.

It shone with golden light.

This directly transformed this dark and gloomy world.

It was as bright as day!

"All demons, heed my command!"

Zhou Yuan's voice.

Like thunder rolling in the sky.

"Give me……"

"Smash it!"

Even if you have to bite it with your teeth.

"Tear it with your claws."

"You have to tear a path through me too!"

Roar!

They were blessed by Zhou Yuan's divine power.

The wounds on hundreds of demonic beasts healed instantly.

His size has increased dramatically.

The fear in their eyes disappeared.

Instead.

He's just as crazy as Zhou Yuan.

"kill!"

With a delicate shout from Ma Ling'er.

She brandished her demon-slaying staff.

The first one rushed forward.

at the same time.

Even the pandas have changed.

That originally endearing body.

It suddenly swelled to a height of over three meters.

His whole body was covered in knotted muscles.

It's like a black and white war god.
