Prologue
The old man in the gray robe propped himself up with difficulty, scrutinizing the male cultivator before him
The man, struggling to catch his last breath, said: "Why..."
The man spoke clearly
The man brought the elder to another human defense barrier that was on high alert.
The man spoke while making a gesture
No, apart from saving you, I have no intention of doing anything else said the male monk
They rushed towards that light
The man carried the severely injured elderly man on his back and retreated like a shooting star
At this moment, the entire camp of practitioners suffered heavy casualties and was left with no capacity for resistance, while the endless tide of demons surged forth like a flood.
Then why are there so many people willing to sell their lives for you? the old man asked
All spells are ready, just waiting for the command.
They have attacked the main general's camp
The sound of war drums was urgent like a sudden downpour, echoing from the main camp of the human race, spreading across the entire battlefield, sending a call for help to all practitioners
That was the one hundred eighty-first year of the Chengping era
All the spells are unleashed together
The man stood up and shouted, "Stop saying useless things, quickly eat the divine elixir!"
At the moment of death, he opened his dim eyes and looked at the old man in disbelief
The man took a few steps forward and helped an elderly man who was severely injured to his feet.
From all directions, the number of demons surging forth is increasing rapidly
However, several surging demon armies suddenly invaded the camp of the human race's main general
The man took out a piece of white jade mask as thin as a cicada's wing and put it on his face
Therefore, I made another trip to the Extreme North Holy Teachings and sought out several hundred skilled practitioners of magic and sacred arts
The human race suffered a crushing defeat.
Sixteen masked monks closely surrounded him
In heaven and on earth ... this elixir is unique, and it cannot be purchased with money.
But this is a battlefield
The old man smiled gently, the wrinkles between his brows gradually smoothing out, yet his gaze became sharp.
The old man, however, stuffed the divine elixir into the mouth of the male cultivator, took a few steps back, and formed a hand seal.
Someone is calling out loudly
The moment has arrived to determine the outcome of the entire campaign
This scene unfolded too suddenly, as the flag of the main camp was already on the verge of collapsing.
Monsters are coming from all directions, among them are some extremely evil spells, and it is likely that martial arts practitioners alone cannot withstand them said the old man
The void behind him stirred once more
As soon as the elixir emerged, it immediately released a kaleidoscope of colors, illuminating the surrounding void and enveloping it in a misty vapor, creating a truly enchanting sight
I have always had a good reputation and pay promptly—this time the remuneration is approximately three times their usual business.
The man said: "Old man, stop pretending to be a master. Quickly take the divine elixir, or else you might really die soon."
The man paused for a moment, leaning forward to gaze down at the clouds.
The old man gazed at the divine elixir in his hand, a difficult smile appearing on his face
At this moment, the old man's complexion grew increasingly worse, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood
Therefore, I have summoned three hundred martial practitioners from the Valley of Evil Cultivation, specifically to resist the onslaught of demons
The man extended a hand, gently tugging at the petal
Sixteen masked monks closely surrounded the man
Despite the shattered armor and the alarming scars all over his body, he appeared as if he had just woken up.
We are finished, we are done
The male cultivator crossed his legs with a sense of pride and said, "Of course, I also feel that it is still somewhat lacking, so I sent a large number of experts in advance to make a special trip to the royal court of the demon clan, rescuing the former demon king who had been deposed and confined. We agreed that it would support me in this endeavor, and in return, I would help it create an opportunity for revenge—by the time we left just now, it was already fighting for its life against those demon leaders who had overthrown it."
Thousands of miles away
Clusters of masked individuals suddenly emerged from the void, swiftly arranging themselves in formation around the area, each performing hand seals to cast spells
The man lazily said: "I have already calculated a divination, old man, today is your day of calamity, but fortunately, I am here—after this calamity passes, you must treat me to a drink"
The male cultivator finally revealed an anxious expression and said, "I have calculated the secrets of heaven; with this elixir, it is sufficient to help you overcome the calamity of death"
The man furrowed his brow and softly called out
The old man was taken aback
You must remember this
The ground is strewn with corpses
The fate of humanity hangs by a thread
The man sighed: "Master of Divination, I have gone to great lengths to save you, can't you appreciate my efforts a little more?"
At one moment, the morale of the human race surged, launching a large-scale counterattack
This statement is correct
In moments of extreme danger, life occasionally transcends the limitations of time, allowing one to glimpse all that is hidden within the memories of the past
Your talent is unparalleled, yet it is envied by heaven and earth. Born blind, with one arm and deficient meridians, you cannot be healed by the laws of the Dao
The elder fell silent for a few moments, then sighed deeply and said: "Disciple, you have ultimately subdued those evil and heretical beings, becoming the master of the demonic path"
How much did my fatal calamity cost me
The old man in the gray robe sighed
The old man in the gray robe sighed and said: "There is great terror hidden in the void, and it has already set its sights on our world. I have pondered for a long time, yet I have no means to respond— I cannot even see the truth clearly before I die"
Beyond the battlefield, in the depths of the sky, above layers of white clouds
O Savior!
The cries of slaughter resound incessantly
I have only you as my true disciple
But you have come today, the old man said
The male cultivator closed his eyes and disdainfully said: "They cannot catch me. Moreover, I have already calculated the heavenly secrets. With this pill, you can safely overcome your deadly tribulation"
The practitioners of the multitude clan felt a sense of awareness and could not help but turn their heads to look
The last petal was torn off by him
I did not take action, said the male cultivator
Indeed, this was personally obtained by me from the forbidden grounds of the Seven Great Sects
The sound of war drums, thunderous as the earth itself, reverberated across the land, accompanied by countless cries and shouts of astonishment
The old man in the gray robe gazed at the divine pill that emitted a faint glow, his expression solemn as he spoke
An abandoned city
Boom
"It is completely not worth it," the old man in the gray robe shook his head and said, "You little rascal, today is my day of death, and I fear I will not have the chance to invite you for a drink again"
I remember that you have many friends among the demons and monsters, and you even swore not to engage in battle on the battlefield," said the elder known as the Sage of Divination with a cold laugh
We possess an abundance of knowledge; not only do the demons wish to kill us with great eagerness, but even among the various sects of the human race, there exists a mixture of reverence and suspicion towards us
You have stolen the divine elixir, which must have broken the restrictions of the Seven Great Sects—once I have passed away, those sects will certainly not let you go
Throughout the battlefield, all the cultivators could not help but erupt in cheers
As the man stood up with the elder, he instantly vanished from the sight of the crowd
It seems to be some kind of signal
Finally
Do not save him, let him die—seems that it is the will of heaven
Kill
Come on!
The elder questioned: "The Hidden Killers are assassins who operate in the shadows and are not skilled in battlefield combat..."
Your fate has long been predetermined; for so many years, even I have been unable to alter your destiny
I ... ... the ... ... death calamity ... ... it turns out ... ...
For centuries ... ...
A breath
Sixteen black-clad, masked cultivators leaped out from behind him, severing a demon that had just snatched the human general's flag into several pieces
The main camp is strewn with corpses, and the number of cultivators still resisting is dwindling.
At this moment, that streak of spiritual light, like a swimming dragon, swiftly penetrated the celestial net and earthly web, suddenly descending from the distant sky and landing in the recently fallen human camp.
Disciple, I hope you can... survive...
"Old man, how does it feel to almost die?"
Those who stand in my way shall die
Because this war is merely the beginning, while the outcome has long been predetermined
When that drop of blood fell, Liu Ping clearly saw his entire life, right up to that final moment
Silence
"Disciple, why must you go to such lengths?" the old man said with a frown
Master
The man then assisted the elderly man, turned around, and broke through towards the other side of the camp
The teleportation array is already prepared
Do not save him, he will die
"I am no longer capable," he said
Ten years of lifespan
At the same time
The masked male cultivator stood in the center of the battlefield, making no move, only letting out a long whistle.
From a distance, the entire escape team resembled a black fish thrashing about in the tumultuous waves, enduring numerous clashes and narrowly escaping being crushed on several occasions
The pill floated gently and silently, landing before the old man in the gray robe
With each utterance from the man, he plucked a petal, allowing it to drift away with the wind
Go
I found the Hidden Kill Tower and requested sixteen death warriors to protect me closely along the way said the male cultivator nonchalantly
Using divine elixirs to alter your fate, this is the only thing I can do as your master
The old man recalled and seemed to agree, unable to help but ask: "With the core forces of all sects being drawn to the front lines, where did you manage to find so many capable individuals?"
Because I have money. said the male monk
He suddenly trembled, and his entire being transformed into a streak of light as swift as lightning, piercing through the layers of clouds and diving down towards the sky below
The male cultivator had not anticipated this and was instantly struck, causing his heart meridians to shatter completely
The void opens
These monks seemed to be well-prepared, as they rushed forward without hesitation to confront the army of demons as soon as they appeared
The man held the petal in his hand and let out a long sigh
He seemed to have made some kind of decision
At last, the crowd fought desperately to carve out a path
Disciple, listen carefully to what I have to say
The old man in the gray robe shook his head and said: "It is both time and fate; even if I were to survive this tribulation, I would still be unable to change everything"
The world was in chaos, and countless spells surged forth like thunder, creating a gap amidst the onslaught of myriad demons.
This is a decisive battle; the demon army has been gathering strength for a long time and will not easily give up
The male cultivator extended his lone arm and retrieved a pill from his storage bag
Hundreds of black-clad monks gradually appeared, settling on the position behind him
This is my final wish
Once, someone said
Do not save him, he will die
A man with his eyes closed stands on a cloud, with a small white flower floating in front of him
Countless demons attacked along the way, but they were blocked on both sides by numerous masked figures in black, who exerted themselves to carve out a path for survival
The Plain of Ten Thousand Ren
The young man looked at the old man with confusion
Mysterious waves, emanating an astonishing power, radiated from the old man, condensing into spiritual patterns out of thin air, which then entered the body of the male cultivator one after another
The black mist envelops the sky
Come quickly, someone come to save us
The decisive battle between the human race and the demons is gradually reaching a fever pitch
At this moment, the sound of the drums has faded
A masked monk dressed in black emerged from the mist, and was met by those demons.
Come quickly to save the main business
A male cultivator picked out a monster's head from the pile of corpses, which was about knee-high, placed it upright on the ground, and then sat on it, continuing the conversation:
Countless demons were sent flying out
The defense line has collapsed
The practitioners around the camp fought desperately to resist, yet the situation remained precarious
The elder asked: "When retreating, several leaders of the demons are hiding along the way, relying solely on your people—"
Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!
Directly strike at the heart of the enemy!
The old man opened his mouth, momentarily at a loss for words
He casually waved his hand, opening a passage and was about to dive in
Yet, a man's furious shout came from within the light
A certain moment
Sixteen men protected the man in the center
That may not necessarily be the case
All practitioners felt a lump in their throats
The fleeting light has dissipated
Suddenly
He said with difficulty
The art of magic swirls in the air, swords clash chaotically, and bloodshed marks a tumultuous era
In mid-air, the layers of demons immediately sensed something.
Save him, I will die
The commander is in danger
The man gazed quietly, a look of unbearable expression on his face, murmuring softly:
The old man and the male cultivator descended together
He was seen with his eyes closed, one arm tucked into his sleeve, yawning with his mouth open, and a look of utter boredom on his face
In an instant, a mass of black mist appeared beside him
The demons erupted in a deafening howl that shook the heavens and the earth, resonating throughout the entire battlefield
There are many practitioners in the world, like the countless fish crossing the river, yet those who are well-versed in the six arts are few
As he spoke, the old man in the gray robe suddenly exerted all his strength and struck the young cultivator's chest fiercely.
Someone saved the commander, thwarting the surprise attack by the demons
Disciple
Saying this, he threw the elixir out.
In such a beautiful world, you choose to engage in violence and killing; I, of course, will not participate
The man has removed the mask from his face
Save him, I will die
