As we go south, the sky becomes darker and darker. The branches of the trees on the ground are twisted, and the surface seems to be stained with a layer of charcoal. The leaves are a strange purple-black color, unlike ordinary trees.
Zhao Shui has seen many immortals' blessed places and spiritual caves of cultivation. Because the fresh air flows in, the vegetation usually glows with a new kind of vitality, and all kinds of mushrooms, grasses and spiritual plants, Langgan rare treasures, heavenly materials and earthly treasures emerge at the right time.
But right now, this place is completely the opposite of the spiritual realm of the Blessed Land. The turbid air is filling up and down, spreading in all directions, causing the vegetation to become distorted, the earth to be cracked, and even the sky is shrouded in rising turbid air, blocking the three lights.
This kind of place simply cannot tolerate the reproduction and habitat of ordinary creatures. Among the twisted trees, the Snake Clan figures occasionally appear, with pairs of eyes emitting a strange red light, peeping at the outsiders who break into this place.
Zhao Shu held a jade tree staff and walked leisurely in this land full of malice. The nine-colored light radiating from his body was shining brightly every step of the way.
Even though he had known for a long time that the place where the Qianxun Serpent hid was full of turbid air, Zhao Shu would still be surprised and surprised when he came here in person.
According to Ruomu, Qianxun Orochi moved nearly a thousand miles westward after the Buxing fell to the ground, and came to a wild land with lush vegetation and no human habitation.
However, the existence of the Chihiro Orochi directly caused the contamination of the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers within a radius of nearly 200 miles. The living creatures that had no time to escape were either sacrificed to the Orochi with blood, or were infected by the turbid air, distorted, and even the lifeless earth and rocks.
There have also been indescribable changes.
But it was by witnessing what he saw with his own eyes that Zhao Shu could truly confirm that Qianxun Orochi might have really controlled the power of the law a long time ago and had the ability to change the destiny of heaven and earth.
In just a dozen years, the mountains and rivers within a radius of 200 miles could be dyed into this appearance, which fundamentally subverted the order of the surrounding heaven and earth.
If the power of Goddess Yuqing to mend the sky is regarded as a curtain that covers the world, and the rules and regulations laid out by the praise officer of the Tianxia Dynasty are patches to repair the gaps, then the Qianxun Serpent is like a silverfish eating the curtain. If we let it go,
Regardless, one day, it will tear a huge gap in the sky-repairing power, causing even greater trouble.
In fact, compared to the arrival of alien beings from the sky or even the arrival of evil gods, the more terrifying situation is that the clarity of heaven and earth is no longer clear, and they gradually return to chaos.
Perhaps this process is very slow, but the process of returning to chaos itself will inevitably lead to endless disasters in Kunlun Continent. Mountains and landslides, and endless floods are not worth mentioning.
If this future really comes true, then the world of Kunlun Continent will also usher in a real doomsday, and all living beings in the world may completely perish.
Having seen Ruomu's situation, Zhao Shu will definitely not let this happen in Kunlun Continent. Even compared to this world, a snake as powerful as Qianxun is nothing more than a beetle. However, in dealing with disasters in the world, the first step is to prevent the slightest change.
.
Zhao Shu wants to kill the Qianxun Serpent, which is very different from his previous mentality of slaying evil spirits. He is not just trying to uphold the good and eliminate evil, and help people and materials, but he is trying to bring out the old and embrace the new in this world.
The deeper he went, the thicker the turbid air became, and unreasonable phenomena began to appear in his ordinary five senses. Zhao Shu deployed the Enlightenment Nine Gate Formation in an attempt to protect his consciousness, but it didn't work.
All kinds of vicious visions are approaching the eyes and ears, turning into an endless stream of terrifying ghosts, confusing the mind.
These ghosts are not limited to illusions, but traces of evil and turbid air cling to the upper body, intending to invade the meridians and internal organs. If an ordinary person stands here, they will turn into a pool of blood in a moment, and even the soul will be taken away, forming a fetal fairy.
Even the experts dare not go deep into this place.
Zhao Shu snorted coldly, the nine-color brilliance converged and transformed, and then blazing fire burst out, burning out the evil and turbid air.
This kind of fire light is extraordinary. It is not an ordinary magic technique, but the use of pure thoughts to activate the red seal, showing the power of Lihuo to restrain all ghosts and turbidity.
Surrounded by blazing fire, the ghosts disappeared, the evil wood ignited at the touch of a touch, and even the broken and cracked earth gradually softened. The incredible heat made the scenery distorted and unstable, as if there was a sun walking in the realm of the Chihiro Serpent.
There is no doubt that this move completely angered the Chihiro Orochi. First, the ground shook and cracked, and a series of deadly winds that stirred up the body and spirit roared out, as if a corner of the netherworld was torn open.
Zhao Shu ignored the fact that the ground beneath his feet was cracking, and he was walking through the fire. The cold wind was destroying rocks and uprooting trees, but it could not move Zhao Shu's clothes in the slightest, and the flames around him did not show signs of weakening.
Seeing that the deadly wind had no effect, the Qianxun snake swung its tail in the distance and whipped the ground, causing the earth and rocks to churn. The ground on the left and right sides of Zhao Shu suddenly rose up, and two mountains came in like waves, trying to suppress Zhao Shu inside.
This kind of real attack is the most test of basic magic power. Zhao Shu proudly raised the jade tree staff high, and with a slight shake, it turned into a jade pillar that held up the sky, a huge beam across the sea, and immediately fell from the sky.
The majestic jade pillar banged on a mountain ridge, and the earth-shaking sound spread throughout the world. The pale air waves visible to the naked eye carried thousands of flying rocks and gravel out, and the ground was lifted up like cloth. The scene was extremely terrifying.
.
One blow was not enough, so Zhao Shu turned around and swung again. The jade pillar passed by and smashed another mountain ridge into pieces, as easily as a child sweeping down a pile of sand with a wooden stick.
After the two rounds of confrontation, the world is still in turmoil, and the energy in the surrounding area is chaotic and unstable. It is difficult for the outside world to peek into the internal battle situation.
"With this kind of ability, it's no wonder that you usually hide and keep your head down." Zhao Miao said with sarcasm and provocation: "If you don't show up again, I will go over."
"Junior, how long do you think you can be arrogant?"
The haze dissipated, only to see a huge snake with a body as big as a mountain, coiling around the gray mountains in the distance. Evil light shone in all directions. Judging from its length, it was probably longer than Qianxun's body.
Zhao Shu put his hands behind his hands and said: "You are so rebellious against the creation of heaven and earth. You are mostly doing nothing and will only continue to accumulate disasters. Although you can delay the coming of the natural disaster by shedding your skin, it is impossible to completely cut off the natural disaster that is hanging above your head unless you
Able to transcend this world."
Now Zhao Shu generally knows that although the Qianxun snake is not tolerated by the heaven and earth, it still has a trace of the authority of the past laws. It is through shedding its skin again and again that it can avoid the coming catastrophe.
In fact, the idea of shedding one's skin is not accurate. Zhao Shu suspected that what Chihiro Orochi did was probably similar to regenerating the body within the body, regaining its vitality again and again, in order to hide the mystery.
But this does not mean that the Heavenly Tribulation cannot deal with the Qianxun Orochi. Zhao Shu speculated that the Qianxun Orochi's continuous shedding is also letting go of its past accumulation, greatly delaying the process of its eating away at the creation of the world.
"Detachment?" The big snake's words were like the voice of a hole in a mountain, very strange: "Since the creation of the heaven and the earth, before there were any mortals in the world, I have deeply understood nature, and everyone in the world respects me. If it weren't for the ancient days of heaven
If a meteorite falls, causing most of the living species to become extinct, where will it be for naked apes like you to run rampant in the world?"
Hearing the mention of a meteorite from the sky in ancient times, Zhao Shu suddenly smiled: "It's a meteorite again. It seems that you are destined to be unable to escape. Even the calamity you incur is a disaster from the sky."
"Junior, you were lucky last time. With the help of the remaining shade of Tianxia Dynasty, you barely escaped." The big snake said coldly, and his slender figure slowly squirmed: "This time you don't have such good luck!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding world suddenly stagnated, and everything remained motionless. This could no longer be described by the technique of air confinement. The Qianxun Orochi directly dragged Zhao Mi into another world.
Qianxun Orochi's move was like opening up a cave in the sky, directly trapping Zhao Shu within it. Moreover, the cave was dead and empty, cutting off internal and external Qi. It was obvious that he had made a plan to prevent Zhao Shu from having the opportunity to mobilize the Qi of heaven and earth.
"Good means." Zhao Shu praised him, but the big snake didn't respond. He shattered the cave sky without any hesitation, and wanted to take a small piece of heaven and earth and burn it with Zhao Shu.
As far as the eye can see, the gray mountains instantly turn into dust, and everything inside the cave will be completely destroyed.
"It's a pity that if you had used this method earlier, I might not have been able to crack it." Facing the power of extinction, Zhao Shu showed no fear on his face. He took away the other magic weapons and held only an ancient sword in front of him.
Keep the silence inside and remain motionless.
The cave sky collapsed, the world lost color, and everything around it quickly twisted inward, and was crushed into a small black ball. When it was about to be annihilated, a crack suddenly appeared, blooming with a dazzling light.
The Chihiro Orochi was shocked when he saw this, and he couldn't help but react. The countless rocks that were originally twisted inward impacted outwards with a power that could destroy the world.
As soon as it was retracted and released, the ground shook in a radius of hundreds of miles. The Qianxun snake received the impact of the collapse of the cave head-on. It was smashed on the spot with holes and scales flying.
In the center of the turmoil of heaven and earth, Zhao Shu held the Silence Sword in his hand, seemingly as usual, as if he had everything under his control.
Qianxun's snake-like body was in a state of decay, and there was an incredible look in his eyes. When he saw the Silent Sword, the most terrifying scene deep in his memory seemed to reappear in front of him. The meteor that traveled through the void and pierced the sky wiped out countless living beings.
It changed the climate of this world and was even forced to sleep for countless years. When it woke up again, those naked apes walking upright had become the masters of the earth.
"The world itself is also changing, are you right?" Zhao Shu lowered his head and looked down at Qianxun Orochi, with a trace of compassion on his face: "You are very powerful, so powerful that no living thing can be your opponent, but when you overpower
When you are above all sentient beings, you are unable to adapt to sudden changes in the world."
When Chihiro Orochi heard these words, he didn't feel recognized at all, but instead ignited the anger deep in his heart.
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" Chihiro Orochi's voice sounded from all directions, as if countless people were arguing at the same time:
"I am supposed to be the master of this world, why do you snatch it away from me?"
"If it weren't for this meteor, I would have already captured this world!"
"No, no, no! This world is an egg, and I will be born from it!"
"What's mine, it's all mine! Give it all back to me!"
Zhao Ming listened to Qianxun Orochi's almost incoherent argument, and sighed: "It turns out that you have been infected by faith and wish. The big snake in ancient times may have long since disappeared. Now you are only affected by the secular faith and wish."
It is the obsession of dyeing, and it is also the agglomeration of greedy emotions."
Gods make the believers and vows of all sentient beings, thereby nourishing the true spirit and strengthening themselves. This is the foundation of Shinto, but it is not without cost.
Firstly, when all living beings believe in the vows, they will have the spirit of responsibility. If there is no action that helps people and protects the believers, the belief in the vows will not be sustained. Secondly, when all living beings believe in the vows, they will also be tainted by the gods. After all, what the believers want is not what they want.
Stopping is good virtue and true merit, but it is more likely to be endless greed.
However, it is impossible for gods to choose their own wishes when sentient beings believe in them. They must be accepted without distinction. Without intervention, the greed and even vicious thoughts of sentient beings will also taint the gods. This is why all righteous gods will teach all sentient beings to accumulate virtue and do good.
, after all, this is also beneficial to each other.
But Chihiro Orochi has no such realization. Perhaps for it, endless greed is the common sense in the world, and its ultimate goal must be to take everything in the world for itself.
Mortals acting like this and being greedy are nothing more than vulgar people. However, immortals and gods acting like this are causing harm to heaven and earth.
Even Zhao Ming had to lament that the Qianxun Orochi, who is obviously extremely powerful, is greedy for everything. From this point of view, even if the Goddess Yuqing does not mend the sky with her body, the Qianxun Orochi will eventually devour this place.
Heaven and earth will then perish together into nothingness. This is a path that will inevitably lead to destruction and defeat.
But it was also when he saw the Qianxun Serpent that Zhao Shu vaguely understood that the Goddess Yuqing used her body to mend the sky. Although it was said that the creation of heaven and earth was restored, it was not deliberately man-made, but was in line with nature.
Qianxun Orochi will encounter the Star Tribulation, and the true dragon will face three disasters when he ascends to heaven, all of which are to take their plunderers from the world and return them to heaven and earth again. People who cultivate immortals are originally pursuing the pursuit of refining the Yin.
He will return to the innate realm. If he practices properly, he will not experience heavenly calamity when he ascends.
"Are you pitying me?" Qianxun the big snake couldn't bear it, and saw the huge body of the festering body shaking violently, and thousands of small snakes gush out from it. From a distance, it looked like pus was flowing out.
These thousands of small snakes did not just escape, but reunited and merged with each other's flesh and blood. After a while, the big Qianxun snake returned to its original state, but its body was half a circle smaller.
"Do you think you can kill me with just this method?" Qianxun Orochi roared filial piety: "I have escaped far more disasters than you want, so what if I forged a meteorite into a sword?!"
Zhao Miao remained silent, but the Shouji Divine Sword sensed the boiling murderous intent of the Qianxun Serpent, trembled faintly, and revealed its edge.
The Qianxun snake opened its bloody mouth, and the bloody red light shot towards Zhao Mi again, but he heard Zhao Mi say: "Definitely!"
The bloody red light was directly fixed in the air, and then gradually dissipated. Qianxun Orochi was shocked and angry, but found that the surrounding world suddenly stagnated, which was almost the same as the method he used to deal with Zhao Shu just now.
"You just used a cave to block me. Do you know how I broke through the method?" Zhao Shu slowly raised the Silence Sword: "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that the whole world is regarded as my cave.
.”
Qianxun Orochi was stunned on the spot. He wanted to devour the world and couldn't understand how Zhao Miao did it.
"Heaven and man cooperate to mediate the good fortune." The sword's edge was sharpened. Zhao Shu lowered his head and said: "I sensed that all the disasters you have avoided in the past are here. I, Zhao Shu, protect the disasters and declare the fate on behalf of the sky.
