Where there are living things, there may not necessarily be people, but there must be Santu River.
The starry sky is an unknown foreign land, and the broad Santu River has flowed forever from ancient times to the present, and countless beauties and heroes have been buried.
Here, the river is rotten and turbid, with thousands of corpses floating on it, and the air of death is like mist.
"Quack!"
There are undead corpse birds that look like crows, flying in flocks on the water, pecking at carrion.
The Dark Lord stood by the water, peeping at the brilliant yellow-brown stars above his head. The black robe as wide as a bag could not cover his majestic body, but the aura of the ancestor was completely restrained, and even the undead corpse birds were not afraid From time to time, he would fall to his feet. The Huangquan Galaxy is so beautiful and charming, the stars are like grains of sand in the vast sea, and the two World Trees can be seen with the naked eye. Even though they are far away, they are still shocking.
"All phenomena arise out of nothing, and all phenomena illuminate the universe. What kind of Tao is this, a Tao higher than the invisibility of all phenomena?" He whispered to himself.
"Wow!"
Suddenly, the reflection of the galaxy on the water surface became distorted and rotated, sending countless corpse crows flying away.
A liquid figure tens of feet high rose in the center of the vortex.
What's strange is that the reflection of the galaxy that should have been broken actually still appears on the body of this liquid giant, as if there is a universe inside his body.
It is the power of space.
There is a supernatural power that distorts space into a human shape.
The Dark Lord narrowed his eyes, and the ancestral rules and the ancestral divine energy surged out of his body, evolving into more than ten kinds of defensive wonders, including "Clouds Surround Buzhou Mountain", "Nine Palaces Town Nine Palaces", and "Three Thousand Rivers of Time"
Every kind of wonder is constructed from the rules and orders of the ancestors, and is stronger than a big world.
He looked around, full of fear and vigilance.
"You don't have to look anymore. If I were to come in my true form, your body would be shattered just like before."
This sound contains an ancient artistic conception, as if it came from the beginning of the world. It is indistinguishable from men and women, young and old, as if it is the superposition of the voices of all living creatures in the world.
It came from the mouth of the liquid giant in the center of the river.
The liquid giant was obviously only a few dozen feet tall, but it gave people an unparalleled sense of oppression, as if it was higher than the universe and could crush the starry sky with one hand.
But this is just a clone thought.
The Dark Lord knew who was coming, and was filled with fear in his heart, but he was not in a hurry to escape. He grinned and sneered: "I am completely hidden in the darkness, with no secrets, but you still found me. You are such a cultivator. In terms of behavior and perception, is there anything in the universe that can be hidden from you? I’m afraid that the secret of Zhang Ruochen’s survival has always been under your control. Have you recovered from all your injuries?”
"You know that everything in the world is under my control, so you should be in awe." The liquid giant said without emotion.
The Lord of Darkness said: "Your plan is too deep. In ancient times, together with Yan Tingqiu and Ming Ancestor, they divided Bai Yuan into pieces. He also used Fudo Ming King as a sword to severely injure Ming Ancestor and almost killed him. .”
"In this era, people like Zhang Ruochen, Xuanyuan Taihao, and Ksitigarbha were used to completely eliminate the only threat to the underworld."
"But Zi Jie probably didn't expect that Zhang Ruochen's first-level divine way is so powerful.
As soon as he broke through to the Ancestral Realm, he took away all the Qiyu. With his current strength, you can't even take it away."
"This is what it feels like for a wise man to make a mistake and be countered by a chess piece. Isn't it uncomfortable? The Fudo Ming King back then and the Zhang Ruochen today, why don't you learn a lesson?"
The Liquid Giant's tone became more emotional: "You are too presumptuous. Do you think I can't kill you?"
"If you want to kill me, you won't come with a clone like this."
The Dark Lord said again: "Yan Tingqiu can't deal with Zhang Ruochen. To deal with him, you can only do it yourself. But you and I both know Zhang Ruochen. Even if he is not your opponent, he will definitely drag you to death. His
His will is unparalleled, even better than that of Fudo Myōō, and you can't suppress him!"
"So, you have no chance of winning. You have been planning for many years, but nothing comes of it."
"What's more important is that Zhang Ruochen's first-level divine way has been completed. It can gather the power of all living beings, and the upper limit is unpredictable. Therefore, not only do you have no chance of winning, you may even be defeated in his hands."
"He dared to blow himself up and die with you. But you cherished your life far more than he did. You should have never had the thought of dying with him, right?"
"So, you came to me here, not to kill me. Instead, you want to join forces with me to use me. Get rid of Zhang Ruochen first, and then get rid of me."
The liquid giant said: "Your cultivation has not yet returned to the level of your ancestors, right? Do you think I really won't kill you?"
"Wow!"
The words were not spoken yet.
The liquid giant raised his right hand, as if he had grabbed a handful of cosmic starlight, and the colorful power condensed into a star-filled water column, rushing towards the Dark Lord with open teeth and claws.
The space oscillated violently, as if it was constantly flipping.
The Dark Lord's eyes suddenly changed. What came in was not a water column, but endless time and space. The power of time and space was completely condensed and was continuously born.
Every drop of water is as heavy as a planet, formed by the aggregation of time and space.
"!!"
The ancestral wonders that protect the Dark Lord continue to explode.
Once all the ancestral wonders are broken through and the water column comes over, it will definitely be no less than a thousand cuts. Every drop of water will take away part of the substance of his ancestral body.
"If you attack me, the fluctuations caused will definitely be seen by Zhang Ruochen, and by then your advantage of hiding in the dark will be gone."
As the Dark Lord said this, he used the Invisible Seal of All Things to resist the impact of the time and space water column.
"Boom!"
Like a steady stream of stars colliding with each other, the power is endless, and it is like crushing the sea of stars, heaven and earth to pieces, forcing the Dark Lord to retreat continuously.
The Dark Lord discovered something and looked towards the other side of the Santu River. In the vast mist of death, he saw a looming figure.
not good!
His true form is here!
The Dark Lord felt the crisis and said bitterly: "Take away your magical power, accept it, accept it! If you want to kill me, it won't be easy without using the seventy-two-story tower. Don't you want Zhang Ruochen to come over and fight with you at this time?" A duel?"
"Wow!"
The water column dispersed instantly, and the liquid giant still stood quietly in the middle of the river.
The Dark Lord lowered his head and saw that he was still standing by the river. For a moment, he didn't know that what just happened was really an illusion, and the fear in his heart deepened.
Looking across the Santu River, there is no figure anywhere.
This is the martial arts state that is comparable to the ninety-seventh level of spiritual power, "The Beginning of Heaven and the End of Heaven"? In such a state, the ancestors felt as if the mountains were standing still.
"You know, after you were defeated, why didn't I completely wipe you out? It's not that I couldn't kill you, but that you still have value. If you surrender, even if there are a lot of calamities in the future, you will still have a chance of survival." The liquid giant said slowly.
The Dark Lord restored his ancestral demeanor and said calmly: "Don't say that I have failed. How can I be your opponent? Your opponent back then was Bai Yuan. Bai Yuan at his peak will not lose much to you and Ming Zu. I just It’s just Bai Yuan’s broken body and broken soul! We are all not fools, so don’t make false promises. Aren’t all living beings in the world sacrifices for your shepherding? Where in the universe is there no altar for you?”
"Using the divine mark as a rope, shepherd the monks all over the world. The ancestor is just a bigger animal, with more delicious taste and more blood."
The liquid giant said: "What you said is not wrong at all. All realms in the world are fertile fields, and all living beings in the world are sacrifices. However, it is not necessary to absorb all the sacrifices in order to withstand a large number of catastrophes. What I am doing now is just Prepare for a rainy day and keep everything under control. It must be done. When sacrifices are needed, the sacrifices must be turned into blood and soul energy."
"If the sacrifices required by me are not enough when fighting against a large number of tribulations, you will naturally become one of them. But if the large number of tribulations are not as terrible as imagined, you can naturally survive to the new era under my protection."
"Aren't all the relics of prehistoric civilization preserved? Empress Houtu and Hongmeng Black Dragon can withstand a lot of calamities. Do you think I am worse than them?"
"Who wants to live alone in the new era if some life can be revived? How lonely would that be?"
The Dark Lord smiled and said: "To be honest, I am more willing to believe Zhang Ruochen. How many of your words do you believe?"
The liquid giant said: "But you understand, if Zhang Ruochen wants to lead all sentient beings to fight against a large number of tribulations, there is really no chance of survival. That is an absolute dead end."
"You said that Zhang Ruochen dares to die together and is not afraid of sacrifice. This is better than me. You are wrong. You are absolutely wrong. Those who dare to die are the ones who have no responsibility. After he dies, who can resist a large number of calamities? In the end The whole universe will be destroyed. This is one of them."
"Secondly, Zhang Ruochen is not as invulnerable as you think. He cares about too many people, and his weaknesses are too obvious. When his Taoist heart collapses, he will have no threat in my eyes."
The Dark Lord fell silent.
Because, in his heart, he had never believed that Zhang Ruochen could be this existence's opponent.
What I said before was completely a psychological offensive to fight for my own survival.
The liquid giant said: "Last time, the Hongmeng Black Dragon was suppressed, and you escaped! This time, Zhang Ruochen and Tian Lao faced off against the God Realm, and you didn't show up to help. You have no value to Zhang Ruochen. Even if I kill you, you will be exposed. If your power fluctuates, he will never show up to save you."
"Now, two choices are before you. Go find Zhang Ruochen, and take a dead end in my hands, or die in a lot of calamities. Either way, choose to believe me and fight for the slim chance of survival."
"It depends on whether you pity or not pity the vitality?"
The Dark Lord laughed loudly, and after a while, he gradually stopped and said: "I want the desolate moon."
"If you don't ask, I will give it to you. Otherwise, with your current strength, how can you satisfy my needs? Huang Yue can not only restore you to the state of your ancestors, but it is also my way of controlling you." Liquid Giant road.
The Dark Lord said: "Are you going to do something in the desolate moon?"
"Otherwise? Don't be too naive and want to benefit at the critical moment. If you choose to surrender, it is best to surrender forever."
The liquid giant fell and turned into waves.
In the mist and mist of the continuous sky, the desolate moon slowly rose, as big as stars and as bright as jade beads.
Chi Yao was a little worried and said: "Brother Chen must be clear about one thing. Whether it is Yong Zhen Zai or the Immortal of the God Realm, as long as there is a chance to hit you hard, even if they are not prepared, they will definitely take action. "
Tian Lao has been calculating the secrets in the universe, and used the secrets to lock Lord Murong in the endless starry sea, and said: "Queen Chi Yao is right about her duty! Why not Di Chen hide in the dark next, and let Yongzhen and I take over this place?" A clear game of chess?"
She knew that Zhang Ruochen's spiritual perception must have been pulling Yong Zhenzai.
The thoughts of the ancestors have always been fighting in the realm of time and space, trying to get rid of the other party's restraint. Only by getting rid of the restraint can we hide in the dark and do what we really want to do.
"Don't worry, everyone. Although I am not afraid of death, I still cherish my life. If I have the opportunity, why wouldn't I want to take him by surprise and use the power of thunder to severely damage Yan Tingqiu to the point where his combat power is greatly reduced?"
Zhang Ruochen has always faced the monks present with a relaxed expression, because he is the first person in the universe. Whenever he frowns, other monks will think that the sky is about to collapse.
Zhang Ruochen looked at Tian Lao, who was wearing a phoenix crown next to him: "The person playing this game of Ming chess under the First Ancestor will definitely not be Yan Tingqiu. He will not waste his energy on it. If he just plays against Murong Lord, Yaoyao is enough!"
"Is this my mission?"
Chi Yao stood up, not as thin and weak as a woman.
"I will definitely win this round for Brother Chen!"
She has a peerless beauty who looks less than twenty years old. She is plain and smiling, and has an unyielding spirit when facing challenges. She seems to be able to resist the pressure of all the world.
"It's not about winning this game for Di Chen, it's about winning this game for the world."
Fengtian sat opposite Chi Yao, motionless as a mountain, and said: "Under the First Ancestor, the Queen is indeed not afraid of any monks. But the First Ancestor with spiritual power knows everything about the world and can conceal the secrets of the world, so the formation of troops must be subtle and cunning. , the Queen may be very passive."
"Why don't I leave this game to my palace master? I can use the "Book of Destiny" to have a fight with Lord Murong in deducing and covering up the secrets."
"At the same time, as the master of this palace, the monks in the hell world can mobilize freely, and no one dares to restrain them. I have been in charge of the heavenly universe for 30,000 years, and my understanding and control of the heavenly universe are far beyond that of Queen Chi Yao."
"As for the sword world, as long as Queen Chi Yao gives the order, no one should dare to disobey the order of this palace master."
The smell of gunpowder is strong.
The atmosphere suddenly changes!
You must know that whoever is in charge of this game of Ming chess is equivalent to controlling all the forces under the ancestor of the universe. Everyone present, except Zhang Ruochen and Tianmu, must have their will as the main one.
Xu Tian held his chin, frowned, and looked Feng Tian up and down.
Feng Caiyizui can actually say the words "for the world"? Has a great saint emerged from the Temple of Destiny?
Lord Nutian and Ancient God Panyuan were thinking about something, their bodies were as motionless as wooden figures, and they had no intention of arguing with the chess players.
Chi Yao said: "Although the master of the palace has reached the peak of half-ancestor, he is still not the opponent of Lord Murong, right? Do you really think that with Yong Zhenzai's agreement, the ancestor of the God Realm will not take action? In order to deal with Di Chen, the God Realm, It must be by any means necessary."
"The master of this palace will form the Twelve Phase Divine Formation of Destiny. The ancestor is not invincible." Lan Guan said.
Tianmu released the ancestral order field and secretly discussed with Zhang Ruochen alone: "They won't undermine each other, right?"
"No! A queen and a palace master are both top-notch figures with great arrogance. They both know very well that they put the overall situation first. They just want to compete with the master of Aorong. This is the mentality." Zhang Ruochen said.
Tianmu said: "Then let them come together?"
Zhang Ruochen was silent for a moment and said: "That's not necessary! What Yong Zhenzai said is right. Playing chess is a matter for one person. If there are more people, the decision-making will be chaotic."
Tianmu raised her hand slightly, pointed downwards, and made a gesture of invitation.
It seems to be saying: "Make a decision!"
Zhang Ruochen smiled, interrupted Chi Yao and Feng Tian who were arguing, and said: "This matter will be left to Queen Chi Yao, and no changes will be made."
"Master Feng Palace should put all his energy into building the Twelve Phase Divine Array of Destiny. The stronger the divine array, the greater the role it will play. The greatest support in the divine world may be the Star Knight Army and the Talisman Army. With the blessing of the two World Trees, the combat power can rival the ancestors."
Chi Yao and Feng Tian both have experience in running a universe, and both have strong personalities and decisive actions.
But there are differences.
Chi Yao can be ruthless when it comes to absolutely major matters.
In order to achieve the goal, you can sacrifice everything decisively and endure all grievances and pains.
But even before Nirvana, Fengtian was so paranoid in his hatred of Kong Fanning that he was so paranoid that he was exploited by the organization.
Even after Nirvana, those who attacked the Beizawa Great Wall knew that they couldn't do it, but it seemed that their emotions were stronger than their reason.
Chi Yao is passionate when she is small, but ruthless when she is big.
Fengtian seems to be heartless, but in fact he can't help himself.
Therefore, Zhang Ruochen wants the ruthless Chi Yao to play the big chess game of heaven and earth.
Zhang Ruochen said: "Ancient God Panyuan, on the other side of the heavenly universe, it's up to you to cooperate."
"I would like to serve as the queen's assistant." Pan Yuangu Shinto.
Xu Tian was a little worried about Feng Tian, so he took the initiative and said: "Leave the deputy of Hell Realm to me."
Zhang Ruochen said: "Xutian, that's not how you use your sword. You have to fight, you have to kill the Nine Ancestors of Ten Thousand Generations, and you have to take the initiative to attack. Who else would you be?"
Xu Tian immediately sat up straight, as if he was different from the other four people, his energy and energy increased, and he said: "As long as the first ancestor does not take action, the remaining nine ancestors of all generations will be mine."
Chi Yao said: "Brother Chen, you left this game under the First Ancestor to me, why don't you let me arrange it?"
"That's fine!"
Zhang Ruochen still has great confidence in Chi Yao. When the Kunlun realm was so weak and in danger, she traveled to all directions to support it.
"Everyone has been to the Yuhuang Realm. Has anyone come into contact with the White Jade God Emperor?" Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen asked.
Tianmu said: "I have been exposed to it half a time."
"Half a time?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Tian Lao said: "At that time, I was only a Tianzun-level cultivator, and I couldn't see my true body. Are you looking for an ally?"
"Empress Houtu fell, and the Hongmeng Black Dragon turned into bones. Among the immortals of the previous era, only Chi is still alive. I should have gone to the Yuhuang Realm in person and had a good chat with him about the last great tribulation, but" Zhang Ruochen road.
Tian Lao said: "Let me go to the Yuhuang Realm! Just in time, I also want to see what kind of strength this mysterious immortal is. He should have some friendship with the Great Lord. The Great Lord is in Yuhuang. The world will forge the witch cauldron into the Jade Emperor cauldron, maybe we can win over it."
"Be careful, the immortals are by no means fair and aboveboard, and they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals," Zhang Ruochen reminded.
In order to deal with the great Lord Fudo Mingwang, Ming Zu can use the Withering Death Technique on Ling Yanzi and Kong Yinxue.
Mingzu is not the opponent of the Great Lord? Not necessarily.
He just wanted to win more easily and not be dragged to death by the Great Master.
The immortals in the God Realm, if they want to get rid of the now fully fledged Zhang Ruochen, they will definitely do whatever they can to depress Zhang Ruochen's state of mind and weaken his combat power.
There will definitely be a plan, and of course, Zhang Ruochen will not sit still and wait for death.
