Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 773: Doomsday
Li Yun stood at the foot of the Monument to Divine Merit and Sacred Virtue for a long time, and then continued walking along the sacred path.

In front is a temple used for sacrifices, with red walls and golden tiles, magnificent and solemn.

Behind the palace is a funnel-shaped mound surrounded by walls, with lush and verdant pines and cypresses on top.

When he reached the stone steps of the Xian Hall, Li Yun stopped and looked up at the green smoke rising from the incense burner and dispersing with the wind into the boundless sky where the late emperor rests.

He took a deep breath, and all the past events came to his mind like a tide, with complex emotions surging in his heart.

Then, he straightened his clothes, knelt on his knees, prostrated himself, and respectfully performed the ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows towards the mausoleum in front of him.

At this moment, he is both a subject and a disciple.

This gift was not only to express gratitude to the king for his recognition and promotion of him from a humble position to an important official in the court; it was also to commemorate the teachings that were not in the name of master and disciple, but were better than master and disciple in reality.

"Emperor, may you rest in peace.

"I swear here that no matter how hard it is, no matter how many difficulties or dangers I have to face, I will do my best to fulfill your will, and I will protect the Great Wilderness until my death, and keep the people of the world safe..."

…………

When Li Yun knelt in front of the tomb for a long time, the sky suddenly changed.

The peace and tranquility of the wild world was broken in an instant.

Countless golden lights burst out from the dark night sky, like sharp blades, tearing apart the barriers of the world.

Golden light penetrated from the sky to the earth, stirring up the evil energy between heaven and earth, causing the clouds to violently roll and tear apart, and the entire world was shrouded in a terrifying scene as if the end of the world had come.

Li Yun raised his head, his eyes extremely solemn.

I saw more than a dozen huge shuttle-shaped objects emerging from the high sky, with a cold metallic luster flowing all over their bodies, giving off a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Haotian Ship!"

Li Yun immediately recognized these giant creatures.

When the late emperor seized a Haotian ship from the Lingxiao Realm, he was deeply shocked by this magical weapon that could tear apart space and travel freely in the void. It was hard to imagine that such an incredible thing could exist in the world.

However, at this moment, more than ten Haotian warships appeared in the sky without any warning.

Judging from the aggressive manner in which they come, it is obvious that they have ill intentions towards the Great Wilderness World.

Looking at the golden light in the sky again, it was like a torrent pouring down, as if it was going to swallow up the entire wilderness. A deep fear suddenly surged in Li Yun's heart.

The tragic scene of Xuandan Tianzun's invasion of the Great Wilderness a few years ago appeared in his mind like a nightmare.

The black smoke that swept across the entire sky, the giant cauldron that tried to refine all the creatures in the wilderness into elixirs, and the name of "Xuandan Tianzun" that lingered and echoed in his mind are still deeply engraved in his memory.

Whenever he thought of it, he still trembled with fear.

Fortunately, the late emperor stepped forward and single-handedly blocked the disaster and protected all living beings in the wilderness.

But today, a powerful enemy attacks again.

In the vast world, there is no longer a pillar like the late emperor who can hold up the crumbling sky for all living beings.

Just as Li Yun stood up, golden light from hundreds of miles around him suddenly gathered together and struck the mound like a thunder.

In an instant, the pine and cypress trees on the mound were ignited, and flames rose into the sky and burned fiercely, illuminating the surrounding sky and earth like a raging inferno.

"No!" Li Yun heard his own sad cry, tears flowed out of his eyes like a spring, wetting his cheeks.

Without hesitation, he used the "White Bird Cold Wave Step" that the late emperor had personally taught him. His figure swept through the memorial hall and the sleeping hall like a gust of wind and rushed straight to the burning mound in an instant. There was only one thought left in his mind: he must stop all this!
The late emperor has already sacrificed his life for the wilderness.

Li Yun was unwilling to let his sacrifice go in vain, and he could not accept that the wilderness he protected with his life was destroyed in the end.

He could not bear to see that even though the late emperor had passed away, he could not rest in peace and even his tomb was desecrated and destroyed.

All this caused uncontrollable anger and grief to ignite in his heart.

The monks guarding the tomb nearby naturally noticed this earth-shaking change.

These monks had received favors from the late emperor during his lifetime, and regarded guarding the mausoleum as the supreme honor.

Faced with the sudden crisis, they activated the emergency defense formation without hesitation.

A milky white light curtain then rose up, covering the entire cemetery, trying to resist the attack of golden light falling from the sky.

But in front of a powerful enemy, this light curtain seemed so fragile, like a thin bubble that was easily pierced by the golden light.

Then, the golden light suddenly turned into a dense rain of golden arrows, flying towards every monk in the cemetery.

Those who were hit by the golden light, whether they were in the first, third, or fifth realms, were instantly ignited and turned into blazing flames. Then, their figures disappeared completely in the dazzling light, without even a trace of ash left.

Just when he was about to be hit by the golden light, Li Yun finally ran to the mound.

He held the sword in his hand, the true energy in his body surged, and he poured all his strength into the sword, performing the "Thunder Sound Sword Technique".

The sword energy roared like thunder, sweeping out with a deafening force, like a praying mantis trying to block a carriage, rushing towards the golden light that tried to destroy the tomb.

"You are a sword cultivator, and you practice the Thunder Sound Sword Technique, which is to confront the enemy with an upright spirit. It emphasizes unyielding determination and pursues the bravery of ten sweeps and ten decisions."

"Once you draw your sword, you can never regret it."

These words were conveyed to him by "Senior He" who asked "Su Baiyu" to do so.

Li Yun always kept it in mind.

After visiting He Yiqun's home yesterday, he finally understood that the person who actually said these words was not someone else, but the late emperor.

At this moment, seeing the enemy coming and the Great Wilderness facing disaster, Li Yun felt his thoughts come to him, and he understood the true meaning of this sentence in an instant. With him as the center, lightning flashed and thunder roared within a radius of 100 miles, as if the heaven and earth were responding to his determination.

He vowed to protect the former emperor's mausoleum to the death, live and die with Dahuang, and never retreat.

However, in front of this overwhelming golden light, he seemed small and powerless after all.

The next moment, Li Yun, the commander of the Zifu Army and the future pillar of the country who was highly expected by the late emperor, was ruthlessly hit by the golden rain of arrows.

The flames instantly engulfed his body, and his outline gradually became blurred.

He fell to the ground in pain, but still used up his last bit of strength to raise his tear-blurred eyes and gazed deeply at the mausoleum in front of him, as if he wanted to engrave this moment in his heart forever.

In an instant, his figure disappeared in the light and fire.

Like a speck of dust, gently wiped away by an invisible hand.

Silent sparks shot up from all around, like a burning bird, flying towards the torn sky.
