In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 377 Bi'an!

"Senior Xie, where are we headed?"

Luo Xuan couldn't hold back any longer.

Xie Lingxin went deeper and deeper into the area.

The hells they encountered along the way became increasingly terrifying.

Watching those ghostly figures howling and struggling amidst mountains of knives, seas of fire, boiling oil, and iron plows is both visually bloody and chillingly terrifying.

Those with weaker mental fortitude would probably be terrified.

He was in his early twenties and had reached the sixth level of cultivation in just four years of university, so he considered his cultivation to be quite strong.

If it weren't for wanting to make a name for myself in my graduation exams and secure a bright future, I wouldn't have risked coming to Fengdu.

Breaking through the sixth level is impossible; the first six levels can be overcome by relying on talent and resources.

However, even with sufficient talent and resources, it still takes time to break through this shackle on life.

Luo Xuan's goal is to break through before he turns forty, which is already quite an unattainable goal.

If we can achieve something in Fengdu this time, we might really be able to reach this ambitious goal.

Even though he had a high opinion of himself and was determined and courageous.

I'm feeling a little apprehensive right now.

Ancient texts say that Fengdu is inhabited by ghosts and spirits, and the deeper one goes, the more powerful the ghosts and spirits become.

If we disturb those ghosts and spirits, will we even have a chance to return alive?
Xie Lingxin glanced back and saw a hint of worry in his eyes, knowing what he was worried about.

He then laughed and said, "I haven't asked you yet, what do you want with Fengdu?"

Luo Xuan said, "My cultivation has reached a bottleneck. Although I should have no problem passing the graduation assessment, I would like to try again."

"I cultivate the Ten Directions Grade 'Mysterious Yin Dark Night Illuminating Lamp Diagram,' which allows me to see the sun and moon in the dark night, the beautiful sky in the mysterious yin, and the illuminating lamp in death!"

"Within this realm, there is death energy and yin energy, which are very beneficial to my cultivation!"

"Legend has it that there is the source of ultimate yin and darkness in Fengdu. If I can obtain it, I may be able to see the highest realm of the Profound Yin Night!"

As Luo Xuan spoke, a fanatical look appeared on his face.

"Furthermore, ancient scriptures say that Fengdu is a mythical being, so how could it exist in this Ten Directions Level Domain?"

"How could I possibly miss such an opportunity?"

Xie Lingxin thought to herself, "You also study ancient scriptures?"

Luo Xuandao said proudly, "That's right. Although I don't specialize in ancient scriptures, I do have some talent. I've learned a lot on my own, and in terms of skill, I'm no worse than those in the ancient scripture department of the academy!"

"If I hadn't focused all my attention on spiritual practice, I would definitely have become a registered scripture teacher before I turned thirty!"

"Unfortunately... one cannot be distracted too much; with every gain comes a loss, alas..."

Xie Lingxin looked at the complex emotions on his face and didn't know what to say.

It seems like everything he says has a hint of showing off...

In the past, he would definitely have been more than willing to show off...

However, as his cultivation level increased, he seemed to have fewer and fewer such thoughts.

Especially after just experiencing the "God's-eye view," it seems that there are many things in this world that are worth caring about, let alone these vanities.
His God-like perspective allowed him to see a lot and learn many truths.

But it also seemed to have affected his mind and spirit at the same time.

For a moment, I was immersed in that vast and magnificent artistic conception.

wrong……

Xie Lingxin suddenly felt a jolt and came back to her senses.

Damn!

Mortals experienced the perspective of supreme immortals and gods.

Before you know it, you've started to think of yourself as a god or immortal, high and mighty.

This mismatch between ability and mentality is definitely not a good thing.

He straightened his mind and suppressed that arrogant and aloof feeling.

Xie Lingxin casually asked, "What is this so-called source of utmost yin and darkness that you mentioned?"

From his God-like perspective, he surveyed the entire city of Fengdu but found no source of extreme yin or darkness.

Could it be that great demon who is suspected to be the faceless Buddha?
Luo Xuan exclaimed with fervent longing, "That's a divine power! Ancient myths and legends say it's the power of darkness, the power of death!"

"But it is also the power of rebirth!"

Darkness, death, rebirth?

What is this? Reincarnation?
Xie Lingxin's lips twitched.

You're too carefree.

Does it also covet the power of reincarnation?

Even Wu Zetian may not have truly mastered the power of reincarnation.

Although he had already experienced one cycle of reincarnation in the Great Zhou Domain, he always felt that it was not a true reincarnation.

Wu Zetian only achieved this effect through some extraordinary means.

"Then good luck to you."

"I'm going to the deepest part of Fengdu. If you don't want to go, you don't need to come with me."

Upon hearing Xie Lingxin's words, Luo Xuan hesitated again.

I looked around at the terrifying scene.

If you really leave him here alone, he might not be confident he'll make it back alive...

He didn't know why this Senior Xie seemed so familiar with this place all of a sudden, since no ghosts or monsters had attacked him along the way.

But at least I know that following him gives me a better chance of survival.

"Um... senior, I'll stick with you. If you need anything, just let me know! I'm still of some use!"

Luo Xuan said confidently.

"As you wish."

Xie Lingxin said casually.

For him, Luo Xuan's significance lay in finding Fengdu.

Now that we're in Fengdu, it's naturally dispensable.

But he didn't mind bringing him along, because he also wanted to learn about Central Star and Central University from Luo Xuan.

An ordinary student at the Central University was able to cultivate the Ten Directions Visualization Technique. Judging from what he said, he seemed to be quite extraordinary even among the Ten Directions Techniques.

It's truly unimaginable on Far East Star.

Luo Xuanzhen treated him as a senior expert, and thought he was just testing him. He didn't hide anything and answered all the questions, even those that Xie Lingxin asked were common sense.

This allowed Xie Lingxin to learn a lot about the situation on the Central Star.

As he spoke, Luo Xuan heard a series of metallic clanging sounds, mixed with screams of agony.

It sounded like flesh rubbing against metal, subtle yet distinct.

It makes you feel anxious, numb all over, and your hair stand on end.

I feel really uncomfortable.

"What, what is that sound?"

Luo Xuan found it eerie and felt a little uneasy.

"A mountain of knives and a hell."

Xie Ling thought to herself.

"Knives, a hell of knives?"

Following Xie Lingxin, as the road ahead turned, a scene came into view.

Luo Xuan felt a strong churning in his stomach.

A towering mountain rises into the boundless darkness.

The mountain was covered with blades, and countless figures were climbing up the mountain bit by bit.

Even if their hands and feet were cut off by the blade, their stomachs were slashed open, and their internal organs were pulled out, spilling all over the ground.

The pain was unbearable, and the cries of agony continued, but no one stopped.

"Why...why did they..."

Luo Xuan suppressed the urge to vomit and stammered.

"Because they can't."

Xie Lingxin knew what he was thinking.

He had seen this scene from God's perspective long ago, so it wasn't surprising.

“Those who commit evil, frame others, or harm the loyal and virtuous will all be imprisoned in this jail.”

"To climb a mountain of knives barefoot is punishable by 320 years of imprisonment."

"Sigh~"

Luo Xuan gasped.

320 years?
"Wouldn't that drive you crazy?"

Xie Ling thought to herself, "They won't go crazy. They'll be more lucid than they ever were."

"This……"

Luo Xuan swallowed hard.

As expected of a senior, you know so much.

"Zhao Gou!"

Suddenly, a burst of angry curses was heard.

"This is a hell of knives!"

"All those who frame others, persecute the loyal and virtuous, and are heartless and treacherous shall be imprisoned here!"

"He was subjected to the punishment of climbing a ten-thousand-foot-high mountain of knives barefoot, and never saw the light of day for 320 years!"

"Today, I will show you exactly where you went wrong!"

Luo Xuan was startled: "Senior, it's that Taoist priest!"

From afar, at the foot of the mountain, one could see a Taoist priest dragging a lightning lock.

What was locked away was Zhao Gou's soul.

At this moment, Zhao Gou's face was filled with terror. He could not even stand steadily and lay on the ground, trembling like a leaf, letting the Taoist priest drag him away.

Where is even a trace of imperial bearing?

The Taoist priest also saw Xie Lingxin and the other person at this moment, and was slightly surprised, but ignored them.

"Where is that eunuch?"

Luo Xuan didn't see the eunuch, even though he clearly saw him jump in earlier.

Xie Ling thought to himself, "This is Fengdu, the Taoist's home turf. Isn't it just courting death for a martial arts master to run in here?"

He "saw" it with his own eyes: the eunuch was struck by lightning by the Taoist priest and thrown into a terrible prison, where he was devoured by countless ghosts.

It's terrible.

"no no……"

"I did nothing wrong...I did nothing wrong...!"

When Zhao Gou saw the mountain of knives before him, he thought of the legends of the underworld and the netherworld, and his whole body trembled violently.

As if suddenly snapping back to reality, he shouted, "You are not a judge of the underworld! What right do you have to judge my crimes!"

"I am the Emperor! Where is Yama? Where is Yama!"

"Hey! The Emperor?"

The Taoist priest sneered and pointed into the distance, saying, "Look who's that?"

"Hu Hai executed Meng Tian, ​​dismembered 300,000 Qin soldiers, and the Qin dynasty perished after only two generations! His crimes were heinous!"

"He is still being tortured here today!"

"You, Zhao Gou, are no less than him, and perhaps even surpass him!"

"No! Impossible!"

Zhao Gou's voice was already trembling with tears: "My beloved Yue! Where is my beloved Yue?!"

"Didn't you say you would take me to see Minister Yue? Where is he?"

"My dear Yue! Save me!"

The Taoist priest laughed angrily: "Now you know who can save you?"

"It's a pity that only the elderly who died of old age or the souls of sinners can enter Fengdu City. What a hero Yue Shaobao was! Yet you, this tyrannical ruler, used fabricated charges to beat him to death with a hammer!"

"Ten years of hard work, wasted in a single day!"

"His resentment soared to the heavens! He couldn't even reach Fengdu; his soul had long since vanished into the world!"

"However, today I will make sure you see Young Master Yue with your own eyes!"

"How dare you ask for help?"

The Taoist priest flicked his hand, and a painting and calligraphy scroll fell to the ground.

Zhao Gou was shocked, his eyes wide open: "This is..."

"Not bad!"

"These are the four words 'Serve the country with utmost loyalty' that you bestowed upon Yue Fei back then!"

The Taoist priest angrily retorted, "Young Master Yue has been loyal and brave throughout his life, and has never failed to live up to those four words!"

"You tyrannical ruler, yet you unjustly executed him on trumped-up charges!"

"Even in death, this 'Loyalty to the Country' painting will be Young Master Yue's last remaining conviction in this world!"

"Young Master Yue! What grievances do you have? Come out and confront this tyrant to his face!"

"Hurry up as a law!"

The Taoist priest made a hand seal and pointed towards the calligraphy and painting.

The four large characters “Serve the country with utmost loyalty” suddenly appeared shrouded in a layer of bloody light.

A ghostly figure slowly emerged from the blood-red light.

With a short beard and a long robe, he possessed a dignified and profound air, exuding an air of refined elegance.

He seemed somewhat bewildered, looking around before his gaze fell upon Zhao Gou, at which point he suddenly shuddered.

He seemed to understand something immediately, and let out a long sigh: "Alas..."

"How did an official end up in this predicament?"

"Minister Yue! Minister Yue, save me!"

Upon seeing this figure, Zhao Gou was so moved that he burst into tears.

This is none other than Yue Fei, the Junior Protector Yue, who died a violent death on trumped-up charges!

"Senior...is this Marshal Yue?"

Luo Xuan couldn't help but whisper.

In this realm, the person he heard about most was Marshal Yue.

Whether they were commoners, legendary figures, or high-ranking officials, all they talked about was Yue Fei.

He had heard it so many times that his ears were calloused in the short time he had entered the realm.

Xie Lingxin was also surprised; she never expected that she would be able to see Yue Shaobao in person after he died.

"Your Majesty, why have you come to this? Get up at once!"

"Marshal Yue, this tyrant has ruined you so badly. Half of the Song Dynasty's territory will never be recovered because of him!"

The Taoist priest then angrily retorted, "Do you still harbor any illusions about him? Don't you hate him?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Fei was shocked, and his expression turned ashen.

"My lifelong ambition has never been fulfilled; I wish to join the king in sweeping away the barbarian chieftains."

"I hate the treacherous villains who plotted this evil scheme; my loyal soul mourns them day and night..." "Your Majesty, I... I hate it!"

Zhao Gou looked ashamed and covered his face, not daring to look.

"My dear Yue, I...I..."

He mumbled and stammered, unable to form a coherent sentence.

Yue Fei shook his head: "So be it, things have come to this..."

"True man, Fei has served his sovereign and the country his entire life, never overstepping his bounds in the slightest!"

"Born to be a subject of the Song Dynasty, even in death I would rather die than be a traitor."

"Please, Taoist priest, send the official back to life."

"Young Master Yue!"

The Taoist priest's eyes were bloodshot.

"Is Marshal Yue... not quite right in the head?"

Luo Xuan muttered to himself.

"..."

Xie Lingxin didn't say anything, but that's what he actually thought too.

A normal person would have turned into a vengeful ghost and pounced on Zhao Gou to bite him to death by now.

but……

Perhaps it is precisely because of this "abnormality" that Yue Fei is truly Yue Fei.

Only then can they be remembered by future generations and their fame last forever.

Like the great suns shining brightly in the chaotic sea of ​​the spirit.

Those sages and saints of the past, if they had lived normal lives, probably would not have become this great and radiant sun.

"Young Master Yue! I admire your loyalty and bravery!"

The Taoist priest roared, "But this tyrant has acted perversely and slaughtered my Shenxiao Palace! I will not let him off today!"

"A real person..."

Yue Fei was extremely anxious.

The Taoist priest had already begun casting a spell, and Yue Fei's figure instantly dissipated like a bubble.

He was merely a lingering regret, which he placed upon the four words "serve the country with utmost loyalty."

If he were an ordinary person, perhaps he would still have some power.

However, the Taoist priests were far from capable of doing anything about it.

The Taoist priest didn't want to say anything more at this moment. With a flick of his lightning lock, he sent Zhao Gou's soul flying onto the mountain of knives.

Zhao Gou was terrified.

"Amitabha……"

Just then, a Buddhist chant rang out.

Just as Zhao Gou was about to fall into the abyss of knives, he was held up by an invisible force and slowly floated to one side.

It finally appeared...

Xie Lingxin's heart tightened.

This is the "Great Demon".

The Taoist priest glared angrily.

"Who are you, you scoundrel! Trying to play tricks!"

With swift and unpredictable hand gestures, lightning flashed in all directions.

A figure was illuminated in the darkness.

An old monk, dressed in a moon-white robe, with kind eyes and a hint of compassion and solemnity.

Xie Lingxin was so shocked she almost cried out.

Water Moon?!
From God's perspective, he saw a place rife with sin, with the shadowy figure of a demon lurking in the distance.

He was extremely vicious, and the sins that plagued him were almost tangible, threatening to devour everything around him.

The one I saw back then didn't look like this at all.

Am I wrong?

"Amitabha……"

"The ruler of a nation bears the weight of humanity and destiny; how can he be harmed?"

"Fellow Daoist, aren't you afraid of becoming entangled in cause and effect, making it difficult to attain the Great Dao?"

The Taoist priest sneered: "Cause and effect? ​​A tyrannical ruler who acts perversely has incurred great cause and effect, and today is the day he should pay the price!"

"Ugh……"

Shuiyue shook her head: "Fellow Daoist is stubbornly clinging to her delusions and has already fallen into demonic possession..."

"Very well, today this old monk will help you find liberation..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of Buddhist chants could be heard.

A crimson sun appeared behind them, its intense heat suffocating them.

"senior!"

As soon as the great sun appeared behind "Water Moon", Luo Xuan could not withstand it and his mind was injured.

Xie Lingxin was also in a bad mood. In a moment of thought, she used the Six-Syllable Great Bright Heart Seal, which she had only recently comprehended.

A refreshing coolness instantly spread throughout my body.

Luo Xuan also received his protection, which greatly reduced his pressure.

"So it was a heretical disciple of the White Lotus Sect!"

Upon seeing this, the Taoist priest let out a cold laugh.

With a flick of his hands, thunder roared, illuminating the netherworld.

As if by unspoken agreement, the two suddenly took off.

They simply stood silently facing each other, suspended in mid-air.

The dark sky seemed to have been split in two.

Half of it was roaring thunder, and the other half was raging flames.

The difference is clear.

"The calamity of the red sun has ended, the white sun shall rise..."

"Amitabha……"

The crimson sun turned into a blazing white.

Even from a great distance, Xie Lingxin felt a terrifying pressure, as if a great calamity was about to befall her, suddenly descend upon her.

"puff!"

The Taoist priest's expression changed, and a giant golden-armored god appeared, raising a huge silver hammer and swinging it towards "Water Moon".

But it suddenly collapsed halfway through.

The Taoist priest also coughed up blood.

"The calamity of the red sun has ended, the white sun shall rise..."

"At the Longhua Assembly, all beings will be tested. The virtuous will enter the Buddha's Pure Land, while the wicked will fall into hell."

"A new Buddha has arrived, and the old gods have been driven away."

"Fellow Daoist, it's time to set off..."

Shuiyue's eyes were cold and ruthless as she slowly reached out her hand.

"Om-!"

A beam of sword light shot into the sky.

Shuiyue's expression changed slightly, and she withdrew her hand.

A drop of black-gold blood dripped from his palm.

He looked over slowly.

"How dare a tiny ant harm the body of Buddha?"

Xie Lingxin's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant.

Unexpectedly, the sword energy he nurtured in his twin sword cases could only leave a small wound on "Water Moon".

Fortunately, he had already asked for something to save his life before he came.

Otherwise, if he could see this thing from God's perspective, how could he dare to just casually run in?

Teacher, oh teacher, please save your dear student's life!

Just as it was about to expand, another unexpected change occurred.

"Roar--!"

A deafening roar.

The dark sky seemed to have been torn apart out of thin air by something.

A gigantic beast claw tore through the void like ripping a rag.

A terrifying beast's head emerged from it.

As huge as a mountain!
It resembles a tiger, but has two horns on its head and two hook-like fangs in its huge mouth.

Golden fur and scales, majestic and awe-inspiring!
Upon seeing this object, Shuiyue's indifferent expression changed.

The terrifying behemoth looked at him as if it had seen something delicious.

Giant eyes, like lamps, leaped out of the void like a tiger.

Its terrifying size, coupled with an awe-inspiring divine power that strikes fear into the heart.

With a single swipe of its claw, the entire city of Fengdu trembled violently.

Luo Xuan was so frightened that his legs went weak.

They couldn't even stand up.

"Bi, Bi'an!"

Their voices all became shrill.

Xie Lingxin's complexion wasn't good either, but since the thing wasn't targeting him, she could still hold on for a while.

"You recognize this thing?"

Luo Xuan's face twisted in pain: "The Xiao Clan's guardian beast! Legend has it that it's a legendary creature approaching level 40!"

"But that's one of the two guardian beasts of the Xiao clan! How could it be here?!"

Xiao family...

At this moment, "Water Moon" was already fighting with that terrifying behemoth.

The behemoth possessed terrifying power; each strike could shake the void and even tear it apart.

In just a short moment, a large area of ​​the sky became like a tattered rag.

A series of colorful, chaotic streams flowed out from it.

Wherever it goes, it sweeps away and obliterates everything.

Many ghosts and monsters that come into contact with it are instantly reduced to nothingness.

Even this city of Fengdu is being erased little by little.

Although "Water Moon" was powerful and strange, it could only parry such an attack.

The situation was fraught with danger.

At this moment, the Taoist priest who had been severely injured by "Water Moon" suddenly appeared behind the two of them.

"This place is dangerous! Leave immediately!"

Grabbing the two of them, before they could react, he flew up.

Xie Lingxin stopped herself from amplifying the situation.

He wanted to see what Xiao Longtu was up to.

They were carried away by the Taoist priest and flew away from Fengdu at high speed.

Looking at the battlefield from afar, not even the shadows of the two sides could be seen.

The void trembled incessantly, filled with indescribable energy that annihilated everything.

Half of Fengdu City collapsed within it.

Sure enough, this was not the real Fengdu City.

It was merely a "fragment of mythology" that had fallen, yet it possessed a touch of divine charm.

Otherwise, how could it have been destroyed so easily?
"Boom!"

That fight seemed to have shattered the heavens and earth.

Everything in front of me suddenly collapsed.

Including the void!

The Taoist priest suddenly flung them away and threw them out.

"This world is about to be destroyed. You two, where did you come from? Go back there immediately! Do not delay!"

He seemed to know that the two were outsiders.

He flung the person away, then suddenly threw something else, which landed in Xie Ling's arms.

"Boy, you possess my Divine Firmament Dao Technique, so I will leave this item to you!"

"Never leave your side; it will protect you both unharmed in the chaos beyond the heavens!"

After the Taoist finished speaking, his body flew backward.

Submerged in chaos.

Xie Lingxin opened her mouth as if to speak, but ultimately remained silent.

He realized that the Taoist priest had long been prepared to die and probably wanted to go back to find Zhao Gou's soul, even if it meant death.

Although it's unlikely that Zhao Gou would have survived the aftermath of that battle.

"senior!"

"We are in a sea of ​​spiritual chaos!"

Luo Xuan's voice rang out, filled with both surprise and fear.

Xie Lingxin calmed her mind.

Sure enough, the surroundings were now a riot of colors.

A vast expanse of void ahead was constantly twisting and collapsing.

It seems that the realm has truly begun to collapse!

This battle is terrifying; it can directly destroy a domain realm.
The item the Taoist priest gave him emitted a golden light, protecting the two of them within it.

A vibrant, colorful display surged forth, yet it remained forever out of reach.

"Xiao Longtu!"

"How dare you betray our promise!"

A clear and melodious voice rang out.

Implicitly angry.

"Ha ha……"

"Betrayal? What faith do you cultists have to speak of?"

"We're all just using each other, don't you know that?"

"My methods are slightly superior. I'm willing to accept the loss, so why get angry?"

"You guys are really good at hiding things. I never expected that Shuiyue's physical body was your true 'vessel'."
