I was happy that I no longer had to be stared at by someone so powerful that the mere thought of him was enough to make me despair. But a sense of loss also came from this.
After all, breaking the void has always been the ultimate pursuit of all warriors in this world who are committed to the way of heaven.
But now, this dream that was like ascending to heaven in broad daylight has been completely shattered.
"What a pity!" Xiong Ba sighed and said, "If we had known this earlier, we should have snatched the forty-nine stone tablets from the Temple of War God."
"The War God Atlas is worthy of its reputation as the source of martial arts in this world. I have only gained a little understanding of it. My strength has already broken through the previous limit. If I can integrate this understanding, I feel that I can at least bet on another 30 years of life from heaven!" Zhang Sanfeng said with emotion.
"Lifespan isn't a problem, is it?" Xu Fengnian said nonchalantly, "Not to mention the soul cultivation method taught by the group leader, as long as you reach the ghost immortal realm, your soul can remain in the world for five hundred years. Even in the chat group, you can extend your lifespan in other ways!"
"Oh right!" The moment Zhang Sanfeng mentioned life span, Ying An suddenly thought of something. "Wait a moment!"
The moment the words fell, before the group members could react, Ying An's figure suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Sir, what is this..." Wen Caiting really felt at this moment that after seeing these people with mysterious origins in front of her, she felt like she had experienced a bizarre dream.
First, Bian Bufu was inexplicably beaten to dust with a single punch. Then, he saw the War God Atlas, a book that had been circulating in the martial arts world for who knows how many years, yet few had the chance to see it.
Among them, even if the Demon Dragon's experiences across thousands of miles of territory were told to others, I'm afraid no one would believe it.
At this point, Wen Caiting had no intention of informing Zhu Yuyan of her secrets. She had even made up her mind to become a diehard fan of Kankan. Even if Kankan betrayed Zhu Yuyan, the leader of the Yingui Sect, Wen Caiting would follow her without hesitation.
After witnessing the extraordinary abilities of Ying An and the others, Wen Caiting's perspectives were completely reshaped. Even her pursuits naturally changed.
"Is it that demon dragon?" Zuo Qianhu thought for a moment and said, "Since the group leader has even abandoned the Temple of the God of War and the Atlas of the God of War, but the demon dragon was taken away by the group leader a while ago. Perhaps, the group leader is going to deal with the demon dragon now!!"
"That monster doesn't look like a dragon at all!" Whenever Huang Rong thought of the image of the magic dragon, she felt that her impression of the dragon in her mind was somewhat overturned.
"Dragon...it's dragon essence!! It must be dragon essence!!" Xiongba suddenly became enthusiastic.
Although his world not only had dragons, but also Qilin, Phoenix, and Dragon Turtle, the Dragon Turtle had been killed four thousand years ago. The Phoenix also died in the army sent by the First Emperor.
As for the dragon, even if Xiongba wanted to find it, he wouldn't be able to find it for a while. Although Qilin knew it was in Lingyunkong, Qilin was too evil.
Nie Feng's ancestor accidentally swallowed a little Qilin blood, which resulted in the family's hereditary blood-madness disease. No matter how ambitious Xiongba was, he didn't want to gamble on whether consuming a Qilin could grant him immortality.
But now, Xiongba discovered that he didn't have to keep a close eye on the divine beasts in his own world. It seemed that other worlds also had such opportunities!
It was just a blink of an eye after Xiongba finished speaking.
Ying An's body was spotless, but in his hand he held an object roughly the size of a grown man's fist. Although round, its surface was not smooth, and there was even a faint, sinister aura lingering around.
"Is this... a dragon ball or dragon essence?" Seeing what was in Ying An's hand, Xiong Ba didn't know what it was.
"Probably... it can be considered as demonic essence!!" Ying An thought for a moment and said, "This is what was taken out of the demon dragon's body. The demon dragon is indeed a dragon seed. However, some powerful being seems to be using this demon dragon to absorb the evil spirit, calamity spirit and all other negative heaven and earth energy from this world. This has caused the dragon seed to become demonic. Even the dragon essence that was supposed to be nurtured is full of demonic energy!"
"Then can this thing make people immortal?!" Xiongba asked impatiently.
Let alone Xiong Ba. After realizing that the demon dragon was indeed a dragon species and that its ugliness was entirely due to absorbing too much negative energy from the heaven and earth, even Huang Rong, who had just looked disgusted, now showed an expression of interest.
Ying An glanced at Xiong Ba strangely, but nodded under everyone's expectant gazes and said, "Of course I can! But..."
"I wonder what the group leader plans to do with this Kelong Yuan?" Xiongba was so anxious that he even interrupted Ying An's next words.
Ying An waved his hand and said, "Don't be impatient. Listen to me. Although this magic essence can really make people immortal, it is not without a price."
After a slight pause, Ying An continued, "As the Demon Dragon grew, it absorbed too much negative energy from the world. Now, even if I take this Demonic Essence out, it will still spontaneously absorb the negative energy from the world and purify the world!! In other words, no matter who consumes this Demonic Essence, it means becoming a new Demonic Essence. They will become the destination of the negative energy of the entire world. Even if they can live forever, they will still need to endure the endless impact of negative energy such as evil spirits and calamity spirits in the future."
"Hiss!" Zhang Sanfeng gasped, seeming to understand something. He said, "Doesn't that mean that if someone who takes Dragon Essence doesn't have a strong will, their self-awareness will be shattered in an instant. Even if their will is unwavering, under the onslaught of countless years, they will inevitably become an uncontrollable demon?"
Now, no matter whether it was the group members or Xiongba, they could not avoid the magic essence in Ying An's hand.
Chapter 136: The End of the Dharma Era is Coming! The Greatest Demon of All Time!
Not to mention the group members, even Ying An, when he returned to the Small Thousand Worlds and dealt with the Demon Dragon, discovered that there was actually Dragon Essence in the Demon Dragon's body. Ying An actually had a strong desire to eat it.
But soon, after discovering that the dragon essence had been completely contaminated into demon essence, Ying An completely gave up the unreliable idea.
After consuming the dragon essence in the Fengyun world, the body will undergo abnormal changes when the person is unable to withstand the power of the dragon essence.
But for Ying An, this change was completely insignificant. Don't forget, he was already a Human Immortal. Furthermore, he was a Human Immortal who had cultivated his inner acupoints. While he couldn't achieve the level of flesh and blood, or the ever-changing power of transformation, he had the template system. Even if he did mutate, once his fusion level increased in the future, Ying An would be able to use his ever-changing abilities to restore his mutated body.
Demonic essence is different. Although consuming it can also grant immortality, it requires one to withstand the impact of the evil spirits of a certain world.
Even Ying An, a powerful soul master who has experienced six thunder tribulations, cannot guarantee whether he can withstand the impact of the infinite negative energy of heaven and earth over a long period of time.
Even Ying An himself is like this, let alone others.
"Master Group Leader!" After her shock at the demonic energy, Kanan suddenly thought of a question. "If you kill the demon dragon now, does that mean our world will no longer be able to absorb the negative energy of heaven and earth? If the negative energy of heaven and earth continues to accumulate, what consequences will it cause?"
Ying An was silent for a moment before he spoke: "The vitality of heaven and earth is no longer active. The Dharma Ending Age is gradually approaching. In other words, now, the upper limit of this world is a realm above the Grandmaster. Before, because of the pull of the extraterritorial existence, it could be called Shattered Void, but now the upper limit of this world is only the Grandmaster. Even if there are differences in strength among Grandmasters, there is no difference in realm. And as time passes, because the Demon Dragon died at my hands. In the future, the upper limit of the world will continue to decrease, the Grandmaster will become a legend, and the Grandmaster will become the pinnacle. In the distant future, even the innate will probably become a very rare existence!!"
Even as a disciple of the Demon Sect, Kanan does not want her world to decline.
A trace of confusion flashed across her pretty face. She bowed to Ying An and said, "I still want your guidance, group leader. How can we prevent the world from continuing to weaken?!"
"Well..." Ying An smiled awkwardly and said, "We just need to find a being that can withstand the negative energy of heaven and earth. Let him actively or passively absorb the magic energy! Then he will replace the previous magic dragon."
Ying An's method immediately made the group members look at each other in confusion.
Just when everyone thought that this was all the conditions, Ying An spoke.
"Don't think that just anyone can withstand the erosion of the demonic essence. Although the demonic essence is formed by the demon dragon absorbing the negative energy of heaven and earth, it is also a kind of dragon essence. An ordinary person would explode and die instantly if they consumed it. It would be even more difficult to deal with it then."
"Excuse me, sir, if that's the case, then I wonder what kind of strength is needed to meet the requirements?" Wen Caiting asked Ying An bravely.
"Grandmaster may have a chance!!!" Ying An said uncertainly.
"Grandmaster?" Kana's eyes widened. "Isn't this the current limit of strength that a warrior in our world can achieve?"
"The three great masters, Ning Daoqi, Bi Xuan, and Fu Cailin. Are they the only three qualified?" Wen Caiting was worried.
"Elder Wen!!" Wan Wan glanced at Wen Caiting and reminded her in a harsh tone, "What the group leader said is that at the Grandmaster level, there is only a slight chance of withstanding the erosion of demonic energy!"
"Then... doesn't that mean that the only one who can take the magic energy and replace the magic dragon is... only the Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian?" Wen Caiting blurted out.
"Not necessarily!" Zhang Sanfeng clearly had a good impression of Xiang Yutian. Hearing Wen Caiting's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Don't forget, we still have the target for this mission! Although his strength is definitely not that of a Grandmaster, perhaps his unique characteristics can also withstand the erosion of demonic energy!"
Zhang Sanfeng's words immediately made everyone look at Ying An.
After thinking for a moment, Ying An said, "Master Zhang's words do make some sense. Given the unique nature of the mission, perhaps we can actually consume the magic essence and replace the magic dragon."
"Now that the War God Temple is gone, why don't we just head straight to Luoyang and find the target of this mission first? But group leader and everyone else, even if we find the target, please don't kill him." Kana Kana reminded, "At the very least, wait until we find someone who can consume the magic energy!"
In essence, this disaster was caused by Ying An.
Of course, he has the unshirkable responsibility to clean up the mess.
At that moment, after everyone accepted Kankan's proposal, Ying An waved his sleeves, carrying everyone with him, crossed the void, and arrived in Luoyang City.
In Luoyang City!!
Although Ying An had seemingly separated the Temple of War from the entire world in a short period of time, when the Temple of War left this world, the location where Ying An was, including the group members, was affected by the turbulent flow of time and space.
At this moment, when they appeared in Luoyang, a piece of news that shocked the world was spreading widely in Luoyang City.
The Dugu Clan, one of the four great clans, was tragically wiped out overnight. Even within the vast Dugu Clan, not a single movement remained.
The entire Dugu clan, from top to bottom, was left with no one alive except Dugu Feng who was seriously injured and on the verge of death!
"How could this happen? This is the Dugu Clan, one of the four great clans! They were actually... wiped out overnight?!" Wen Caiting's face was filled with fear.
As one of the four great clans, the Dugu Clan was famous for having produced many queens. However, its strength was so great that even the ancient and time-honored demonic sects like the Yingui Clan did not dare to rashly antagonize it.
Even Cihang Jingzhai needs to actively win over the Dugu clan in exchange for their support.
Such a powerful force died silently overnight. Wen Caiting couldn't believe what she heard.
"He's the target of our mission this time, right?!" Kana frowned, her pretty face full of confusion as she asked, "Why is this guy suddenly so high-profile? He's been acting sneakily before. Even his whereabouts were rarely exposed. Why is he suddenly..."
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through her mind, and Kanan subconsciously looked at Ying An.
Ying An seemed to have guessed what Qianqian was thinking. He nodded and said, "I think that guy must have discovered that something is wrong with this world. Now he's suddenly making such a big fuss, he must be trying to leave this world as soon as possible!
Earlier in the War God Temple, in order to completely sever the connection between the War God Temple and this world, the commotion caused by Ying An did not seem to have much impact on this world.
But in fact, even ordinary people heard the roar coming from a distant world. Those warriors with extremely high spiritual realms were naturally able to feel in the dark what changes had taken place in this world.
Not to mention others, the three great masters, Heavenly Blade Song Que, Evil King Shi Zhixuan and other top warriors in the martial arts world must have felt that the world has become completely different after the roar.
As a being that can travel through the world, the target of this mission will definitely have a golden finger.
So, the only explanation for his sudden and uncharacteristic behavior of wantonly destroying this world is that he feels the pressure from this world and can't wait to leave this world and enter a new one.
"Leave?" Xu Fengnian said anxiously, his expression distorted. "No! If we let this guy escape, what will happen to our mission?"
"No matter how anxious you are, can you find the target of the mission now?" Huang Rong glanced at Xu Fengnian and said.
"I really can't find it. But isn't the group leader here?" Xu Fengnian said with a wry smile.
When all the group members placed their hopes on Ying An, he paused for a moment and said, "We don't have any clues right now. Let's first look for the sole survivor of the Dugu clan's massacre. I just heard that after someone discovered the Dugu clan's massacre, the people from Jingnian Zen Temple took the seriously injured and dying Dugu Feng away! Perhaps we can find some clues from Dugu Feng as well."
After several missions, both Ying An and the other members knew clearly that the targets of these missions almost all possessed an innate instinct to be rejected by the world. Or perhaps it was the effect of the cheat code, which concealed their own destiny.
Even with Ying An's strength, his mind and thoughts were enough to cover an area of hundreds of thousands of miles, but finding the target was still an extremely difficult task.
Rather than spending a huge amount of money, and even risking the other party jumping out before the mission target is found, it is better to catch the other party's tail from the existing clues.
"The Dugu family's little phoenix!!" Wanwan nodded, her tone tinged with regret. "I've heard from Master Zhu that if the Dugu family's little phoenix hadn't been unable to study under a renowned teacher due to her family background, she would have surely become one of the world's most renowned rising stars. Even if she only learned the Dugu family's unique skills, this little phoenix still possesses a strength that would have even Master Zhu impressed. Since Jingnian Zen Temple has taken Dugu Feng in, they will surely spare no expense to treat her injuries. Otherwise, if Dugu Feng died in Jingnian Zen Temple, I'm afraid the Buddhist sect would never be able to explain it!"
In the same world, different eras have different rules of the game. Not to mention that the group members all come from different worlds!!
On this point, neither Xiongba nor Zhang Sanfen, Xu Fengnian and others could empathize with Kankan.
They might know that the power of the aristocratic families in this era was enormous, but it was absolutely impossible for them to have a truly clear and accurate understanding of it.
Judging from the reactions of Wan Wan and Wen Caiting when they learned that the Dugu clan had been tragically exterminated, it was not difficult to tell that, at least in the eyes of the descendants of the Demon Sect, the four major clans were deeply entrenched and powerful, and they were definitely not to be offended lightly.
Since Jingnian Zen Temple dared to take Dugu Feng away, once the only living member of the Dugu family died in Jingnian Zen Temple, the entire Buddhist community would probably be targeted by the aristocratic families.
It’s not that these aristocratic families are really related.
Don't forget that, with the exception of Dugu Feng, all the direct descendants of the Dugu clan have been killed or injured. And Dugu Feng is a girl.
No matter which aristocratic family it was, they would not let go of the fat meat left after the fall of the Dugu Clan. And if they wanted to swallow the biggest piece, Dugu Feng was indispensable.
If Dugu Feng died, the aristocratic families across the world would likely be left to their own devices. Under the pretext of avenging the Dugu clan, they were recruiting their former members! This certainly wouldn't be as profitable as recruiting Dugu Feng.
As for whether those aristocratic families would truly avenge the Dugu clan, that's ridiculous. They might investigate who exactly attacked the Dugu clan. But to say they'd fight to the death against such a ruthless individual for the Dugu clan is out of the question. All they need to do is make him the greatest villain of all time, and then naturally, powerful figures seeking fame and fortune will volunteer to do the deed.
Even if a powerful family took the initiative to hunt down the mastermind, it certainly wasn't to avenge the Dugu clan. The real purpose was to make an example of someone.
Who allowed the aristocratic families, which have been passed down for thousands of years, to become a force more noble than the royal family under the surface?
Even those who have read a little bit know that there are no thousand-year dynasties, only thousand-year-old families. This shows how deeply rooted the clan system is in this era.
To travel from Luoyang City to Jingnian Temple, Ying An obviously did not need to use his magical powers to tear through space and move.
When Ying An and his companions arrived at the popular Jingnian Temple, everyone was shocked to find that the temple, which used to be crowded with pilgrims, was now on high alert.
Even many pilgrims who came from far away were turned away by the monks of Jingnian Zen Temple.
As soon as Ying An and others appeared outside the Jingnian Zen Temple, they attracted the attention of the reception monk and the martial monks.
Why was there such a huge difference between Ying An and the others and ordinary pilgrims? Especially since among the group were two witches from the Yin Gui Sect, Kan Kan and Wen Caiting.
It was fine for Xianxian. After all, she was still a newcomer, and there were only a handful of martial artists who could truly recognize her at first sight. But Wen Caiting was different.
As a demonic woman of the same generation as Zhu Yuyan, Wen Caiting is well-known in the hearts of many people in the righteous path.
"Wen Caiting, the evil woman from the Yingui Sect?" The monk suddenly revealed Wen Caiting's identity.
After a moment of silence, the entire Jingnian Zen Temple erupted in an uproar. Countless monks, weapons in hand, rushed out of the gate and quickly surrounded the group members.
"Young Master, these monks are so scary!!" Seeing this, Kankan came closer to Ying An with a weak look. Her slightly tender but well-proportioned body also leaned towards Ying An.
"No... shameless!!!" Huang Rong's pretty face flushed red. Inside, she inexplicably felt like she'd eaten a lemon. Looking at Qianqian with a sour look, Huang Rong scolded, "Qianqian, what are you doing? Get away from the group leader right now!"
Chapter 137: The Compassionate Supreme Buddha! Bow to the Buddha!
Kanan's eyes rolled, as if she had discovered something, and she smiled narrowly, "Are you envious, Sister Huang Rong? You don't even call me sister anymore. If you are envious, then why don't I give you half of my seat!!"
As she spoke, Qianqian moved closer to Ying An's side, as if she had actually made half a body length to allow Huang Rong to move around.
Although Huang Rong would become the renowned female Zhuge Liang in the martial arts world, she was still too young to show any signs of jealousy in public.
But before the group members could start a quarrel, a big fight broke out.
In the Jingnian Zen Temple, four monks came out, accompanied by the four Dharma protectors Vajra, Buhuo, Buzhi, Bugreed, and Bufear.
The monks surrounding Ying An and his group members suddenly seemed to gain confidence. Their aura was different.
"Wen Caiting of the Yin Gui Sect, and the newly appointed Saint Maiden, Kankan?" Bu Chen revealed Kankan and Wen Caiting's identities in one sentence, then frowned and asked, "How dare you, these demonic women, trespass into my Buddhist holy land?"
