The road is vague

Chapter 327 Greatly Increased Power
On the Seven Stars Great Circulation Altar.

The giant, entangled in crimson aura, gradually began to react, his brows furrowing.

It seemed that if he were given a little more time, he would slowly wake up, but to avoid any unforeseen complications, Li Mo naturally wouldn't give him another chance to slowly recover.

He continued to increase the flow of spiritual energy into the altar.

The altar resonated with the power of heaven and earth in the Mountain and Sea Realm, and bolts of lightning quickly formed above the altar.

These lightning bolts were not ordinary elements.

The lightning emitted an aura of tribulation that Li Mo was quite familiar with, possessing destructive properties and forming a terrifying pressure above the altar.

Li Mo activated his spiritual eye and looked at the lightning tribulation forming on the altar.

Now that he has advanced to the Golden Core stage, his True Spirit Eye has achieved minor mastery of supernatural powers, and he has actually seen some more fundamental things.

He seemed to have returned to the Eighteen Mountains, back to that midnight moon, where he saw the strange phenomena between heaven and earth, and the ever-growing evil spirits that wanted to enter the Mountain and Sea Realm, but were blocked by the silver runes, which continuously devoured them.

The current lightning tribulation is also a kind of exorcism rune in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

These runes are arranged in order, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth.

"When forging a powerful magical weapon, if one can imbue it with spirit by drawing upon the order represented by these silver runes during the rune-drawing stage, the weapon's power will undoubtedly increase dramatically, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth!"

Understanding runes and mastering the mother script is only the initial stage for a runemaster.

The key to becoming a rune master lies in arranging these runes in order, writing the order of heaven and earth, and drawing upon the power of heaven and earth. The simplest way to learn this is undoubtedly to glimpse the secrets of heaven.

Li Mo used his True Spirit Eye to record the order of these silver spherical characters.

The giant of the witch tribe had been dormant for too long; although its brows were furrowed, it had not been able to open its eyes.

Boom!
As the lightning summoned by the altar struck, hitting the heart of the witch giant, an indescribable aura burst forth from its body.

This aura seems to come from another world.

The witches who live there are born and raised in this land, and their blood contains the innate supernatural power to communicate with heaven and earth, and can even change the world to a certain extent.

Above the Seven Stars Great Heavenly Altar, a phantom door slowly opened!
After taking a deep breath, Li Mo carefully observed the other side of the illusory gate through the Eye of True Spirit.

He is now quite certain that the so-called Dharma-ending Age is a cage built by ancient cultivators. This cage not only restricts modern cultivators, making it difficult for them to advance, but also protects them from the invasion of the enormous creatures outside the cage.

In the void, not only do countless colossal creatures roam and spy on the Mountain and Sea Realm, but also countless indescribable, terrifying tentacles of order envelop the entire Mountain and Sea Realm.

The boundaries of the cage are not only spatial geography, but also the rules of the order of heaven and earth.

The Mountain and Sea Realm will be extremely unsuitable for cultivation. Only creatures below the Refinement stage can survive in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Once they break through to the Divine Transformation stage, they will be automatically rejected and removed.

The material used to build this cage of order is the power within the bloodline of the witch clan.

Ancient cultivators used this to influence the order of heaven and earth in the entire Mountain and Sea Realm.

now.

Li Mo's sacrifice of the dormant Wu clan members seemed to be an attempt to gain extraordinary insights through the Wu clan's bloodline. In reality, he had briefly opened a crack in the cage of order in the Mountain and Sea Realm, breaking through the constraints of the rules of the End of Dharma Era, and thus gaining an extraordinary opportunity for advancement by comprehending the true full picture of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

This is like a prisoner who has been locked up in a cage for years and is in a state of malnutrition. After a short break from the cage, he eats and drinks to replenish his strength and vitality.

Several mysterious rays of light surged into Li Mo's body from the other side of the illusory gate.

He couldn't help but let out a soft moan, completely absorbed in the moment.

Just a few moments.

Li Mo felt as if he had saved himself more than ten years of arduous cultivation, and his Golden Core power had been greatly enhanced.

With his cultivation aptitude, the consolidation he had made over the previous ten years, and his current astonishing improvement, it seems that he only needs to cultivate diligently for another ten years or so to reach the peak of the early Golden Core stage.

Meanwhile, because the proportion of mental state required for advancement in the Golden Core stage has decreased and the proportion of comprehension of the Great Dao has increased, Li Mo, due to the Misty Box, has a deep comprehension of the Great Dao and does not need to worry about the problem of stagnant mana. As long as there is enough mana to support his cultivation level, it will rise accordingly.

After a long time.

As the illusory gate on the altar slowly closed, Li Mo let out a long breath, seemingly still savoring the wonderful feeling.

At this time.

The phantom-like old man couldn't help but jump off Little Squeak's back and ask Li Mo a question.

"Young man, is the power of heaven and earth in the Mountain and Sea Realm devouring the roots of great demon immortals in reverse?"

"Squeak?"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Li Mo slowly nodded.

He opened his eyes and his expression turned solemn.

"At most, I will have to sacrifice two more members of the Wu clan. After that, I will gradually transform into a naturally formed form and will be devoured by the Mountain and Sea Realm."

From this perspective, the ancient demons and immortal roots of the Mountain and Sea Realm, unless they were in a fragment of an auxiliary space similar to the Heavenly Realm or in a sealed space, have basically been absorbed by the Mountain and Sea Realm and completely wiped out.

"It seems that my decision to stay in the world of theft was indeed the right one."

After letting out a sigh, the old man looked somewhat lost and dejected.

Over the years, he had been trying to contact other immortal roots in various ways, but to no avail. He also vaguely felt the cramped and oppressive nature of the Mountain and Sea Realm. Out of instinctive vigilance, he hid in the Treasure Stealing Realm and never dared to truly step into it.

At this time.

The original followers who went to pursue the left and right protectors of the Lei Yuan Sect returned one by one, but there were two fewer of them than before, and they all looked quite disheveled and injured.

"what happened?"

Li Mo asked the question knowing the answer already.

"Although we have a numerical advantage, they truly live up to their title as the Left and Right Protectors; their strength is simply too great. Even though we fought with all our might, we only managed to kill the Left Protector, Fan Chun, and allow the Right Protector, Yang Tian, ​​to escape. We even lost two of our men in the process. I'm afraid our location has already been exposed. Perhaps we should reconsider our strategy..."

"The altar must not be abandoned!"

After Li Mo made his stance clear, he summoned the White Jade Flying Chariot.

Faced with such an exquisite flying car, these cult members, who had never seen the world, were immediately dumbfounded.

After Li Mo gestured for the group to enter the flying chariot, these strangely shaped cultists, fearing they might defile the white jade chariot, cleansed themselves before cautiously squeezing inside. The white jade chariot vanished in a flash, flying towards the Thunder Origin Sect's headquarters.

Li Mo looked at the slightly restrained believers from inside the white jade flying chariot.

"Although it happened suddenly, it was also somewhat expected. With such a large-scale altar being built here over the years, it's impossible that the followers of Lei Yuan Demonic Path hadn't noticed at all. It's good that it's been exposed now. While Lei Yuan Demonic Path took a large number of elite followers to attack Cai Bei Island, you all put yourselves in a do-or-die situation and follow me to attack the Lei Yuan Sect's headquarters. When Lei Yuan Demonic Path returns, we'll catch him off guard. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Recovering the primordial demonic blood from these believers' bodies is also a technical task.

The safest and most reliable method is naturally to wait for these believers to die naturally and then absorb all the demonic blood and power that they have gained as a result.

However, this is far too inefficient for a true demon clone.

However, the true demon avatar could not forcibly command the followers and could only act according to the various agreements in the bloodline. At this moment, he proposed to carry out the second step of the plan and attack the Lei Yuan Sect headquarters, which was a reasonable part that had been written into the bloodline contract.

Upon hearing this, the group of primitive believers immediately began discussing their plans.

During their discussion, Li Mo gained a preliminary understanding of the defenses of the Lei Yuan Sect's headquarters.

The rest is fine.

As a Golden Core cultivator, with the ability to refine magical treasures, a profound foundation, and supernatural powers, he didn't take them seriously at all.

But when he heard that Lei Yuan Sect had purchased a batch of so-called Demon-Slaying and God-Destroying Crossbows from a master of mechanical arts on Xuanwu Island at great expense, he was immediately stunned.

"Master mechanics?"

Li Mo was no stranger to mechanical arts.

However, the so-called mechanical arts of the Great Qian Kingdom, apart from the research on various puppets, consisted mainly of the various devices of the Divine Mechanism Sect.

In addition, the flying chariot warships crafted by the Thousand Chariots Sect of Chewu Kingdom can also be considered a type of mechanical art.

The power of these devices lies not only in the mechanical art itself, but also in the characteristics of their techniques, which allow them to utilize various evil organs.

But this so-called Demon-Slaying and God-Destroying Crossbow, judging from its appearance, was a legitimate mechanical device designed for Golden Core cultivators, something he had never seen before.

……

the other side.

Right Protector Yangtian, doing everything in his power, managed to escape back to the main altar.

"Greetings, Protector!"

"Greetings, Protector..."

He was seriously injured, his face was gloomy, and he ignored the believers who kept bowing to him along the way. He came to the Lei Yuan Hall and looked at Lei Yuan Envoy.

This person's upper body is that of a gentle and refined man, while his lower body is that of a blue-scaled dragon.

He was second only to Venerable Lei Yuan, and above all others in the Lei Yuan Sect.

"Greetings, Envoy!"

Yang Tian gritted his teeth and said, "Following your orders, I and the Left Protector Fan Chun went to the Da Gai area and indeed discovered something unusual. Someone had secretly built a super-large altar. Subsequently, an unknown evil god secretly held a blood sacrifice ritual there, which triggered a terrible celestial phenomenon. As a result, we were exposed and were hunted down. The Left Protector Fan Chun died in battle."

Upon hearing this, General Lei Yuan's expression changed slightly.

Tell me more about the situation there.

"Yes!"

After the Right Protector Yang Tian recounted the events in detail, Chief Envoy Lei Yuan remained silent for a moment before quickly making a decision.

"You've worked hard. I'll have someone retrieve Fan Zuoshi's body as soon as possible. You can go and rest for now."

"Yes."

After Yang Tian left with a solemn expression, several people quickly gathered at the summons of the Thunder Element Envoy and began to issue orders in an orderly manner.

"Immediately recall all local Dharma Protectorate headquarters and send someone to contact the leader!"

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the man quickly left.

"Declare martial law in the entire city; no one is allowed to enter or leave!"

"Yes!"

From Yang Tian's words, the Thunder Origin Envoy already knew that the unknown evil god had actually accumulated a considerable number of believers, mingling among the Thunder Origin cultists, and even had a group of Foundation Establishment stage subordinates, which made him feel a great crisis.

He couldn't determine how many followers in the city had been corrupted by the other side, or whether they were believers or enemies.

"Notify the armory to immediately unseal the Demon-Slaying and God-Destroying Crossbow. These are the mid-grade spirit stones required for the Demon-Slaying and God-Destroying Crossbow."

"Yes……"

After everything was arranged, Ambassador Lei Yuan sat in the empty hall and looked down at the map of Taiwan in his hand.

A bloodstain was clearly drawn on the altar of the Seven Stars Great Heaven.

"Who is behind this map, and what is their purpose?"

As he murmured, a golden core spiritual pressure suddenly rippled out above the main altar, and he stood up abruptly, his face showing disbelief.

"So fast!"

Envoy Lei Yuan could no longer remain calm.

If the opponent is truly an evil god, and the guardians from various regions have not yet gathered, there are probably only two or three methods in the city that can truly threaten him.

The most important of these was undoubtedly the Demon-Slaying and God-Destroying Crossbow that Venerable Lei Yuan had purchased from Xuanwu Island at great expense.

Think of this.

He immediately slipped away from the main hall, deciding to personally take control of this armed force.

If we can be lucky enough to kill that evil god in one fell swoop, that would be the best outcome. At the very least, we should try our best to win over the guardians from all over the country to come to our aid and for the leader to return.
