Reborn Shang Zhou, angry at the sage Nuwa at the beginning

Chapter 2230

at the same time,

Ye Qingyu, along with other academy disciples, followed their instructors to the icy ruins of the Northern Region.

On the icy plains, the wind was biting cold and the spiritual energy was thin, but a faint aura of emptiness permeated the area around the ruins.

The group cautiously entered the ruins and discovered that the murals here were completely different from those in the ruins of the Southern Region; they did not depict a war between gods and demons.
Instead, it was a group of monks dressed in strange clothes, performing some kind of bizarre ritual!
On the altar,

Black runes flickered, identical to those on the black stone tablet.

"These murals seem to depict the sacrificial rituals of the Void race."

The instructor said in a deep voice, "It seems that in ancient times, some cultivators betrayed the Xuanhuang Continent and joined the Void Clan, exchanging the power of the Void Clan for the sake of sacrificing the creatures of the continent."

Just at this time,

A strange whispering sound came from deep within the ruins, as if countless people were murmuring in one's ear, making one dizzy and uneasy.

Ye Qingyu channeled his humanistic power, guarded his mind, and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a wisp of black mist writhing on the altar.
In the fog,

Countless tiny black shadows darted about; these were monsters formed from the remnants of souls from the void.

"Let's do it!"

The instructor shouted and was the first to unleash his magic weapon, sending a golden stream of human power hurtling towards the black mist.

Ye Qingyu and the other disciples also made their moves, brandishing their longswords, their golden sword light weaving into a net as they slashed at the monster.

The monster in the black mist let out a sharp roar, its body swelled up, and it transformed into a huge black shadow, opening its blood-red maw and lunging at the group.

The power of the shadowy figure far exceeded everyone's expectations. Several disciples with lower cultivation levels were instantly swallowed up by the shadowy figure, without even having time to scream.

"Not good! This monster has absorbed a large amount of remnant soul power and has reached the strength of the Chaos Realm!"

The instructor's expression changed drastically. He activated all his cultivation to defend himself while shouting,
"Ye Qingyu, you lead the other disciples to retreat and head to Zhenmo Pass for reinforcements!"

Ye Qingyu gritted his teeth, watching his fellow disciples fall one by one, a resolute glint flashing in his eyes:
"Instructor, we cannot retreat! The power of humanity lies in protection. Even if we are outmatched, we must fight to the very last moment!"

Golden light surged around him as he activated the Humanity Sword Manual at full power. Golden sword light condensed into a massive sword shadow on his longsword, slashing towards the head of the dark figure.

This sword,
It contained Ye Qingyu's unwavering belief in protecting his homeland, and contained the supreme yang and strength of humanity. The black shadow was struck by the sword light, let out a shrill roar, and its body instantly shrank.

The instructor seized the opportunity, activated his magic weapon, and a golden beam of light pierced through the shadowy figure's body, severely injuring it.

Just at this time,

A beam of seven-colored divine light flew in from outside the ruins, instantly enveloping the dark figure and completely purifying it.

Kong Xuan appeared at the entrance of the ruins, his expression solemn: "The Human Emperor anticipated that some of the remnant souls in the ruins would coalesce into powerful monsters, and specifically sent me to provide support. You have done a great job and have not let down the Humanity Academy's training."

Ye Qingyu looked at Kong Xuan with admiration in his eyes: "Lord Kong Xuan, why did these remnant souls of the void coalesce into monsters? What exactly is their goal?"

Kong Xuan sighed, his gaze fixed on the altar deep within the ruins: "Their goal is to use the residual power of the ancient sacrificial ritual to open a passage to the outer void, allowing more void races to enter the Xuanhuang Continent." "Although we have repaired the seal, as long as these remaining forces exist, the continent will never have peace."

The cleanup operation lasted for three months, during which the remnants of the void souls across the continent were gradually eliminated. However, the cultivators of the Xuanhuang Continent also paid a heavy price.
Countless cultivators sacrificed their lives during the cleanup operation, and many ancient ruins were completely destroyed!

however,
This purge operation also united the cultivators of the Xuanhuang Continent, strengthened their humanitarian beliefs, and improved the coordination between the various forces.

Meanwhile, the overall combat strength of the mainland has been further enhanced through the baptism of war!
In the Xuanhuang Council Hall, Emperor Xin looked at the battle reports coming from all over the country with a solemn expression.

Although the operation was successful, he knew that this was only a temporary calm.

The threat of the Void Emperor still exists. The crisis a million years from now hangs like a sword over the Xuanhuang Continent, constantly reminding him that he cannot let his guard down.

"Human Emperor, the Heavenly Mystery Array Plate of the Heavenly Extreme Sect has deduced that in the far west of the Xuanhuang Continent, there exists a sealed place of ancient gods and demons, which may very well hold the ultimate secret about the Void Race."

The Celestial Elder walked slowly over and said with a solemn expression, "Moreover, according to the deduction, the power of that sealed place is rapidly weakening, as if some external force is destroying it."

A glint of light flashed in Di Xin's eyes: "The far west... it seems we must go and investigate. The peace of the Xuanhuang Continent cannot be built on unknown threats."

"Issue my order: summon Kong Xuan, Yuan Futong, and the Sword Master. In three days, they will accompany me to the far west to explore the mystery of the seal!"

Three days later
Outside the Xuanhuang Council Hall, Emperor Xin, clad in golden human emperor armor, exuded a gentle yet majestic aura befitting a mid-stage Transcendent Realm expert. His Human Emperor Sword slung across his waist, shimmering with rosy light.

Kong Xuan, Yuan Futong, and Jian Zun stood on either side, their auras deep and focused, each ready to go!
Sage Meng and Elder Tianji personally saw him off, their expressions solemn.

"Human Emperor, the far west is known in ancient times as 'Guixu,' the core area where ancient gods and demons fell. The space is chaotic and full of restrictions, so please be careful."

The Celestial Elder handed over a silver token: "This is the core token of the Celestial Mystery Array Plate. It can predict the dangers along the way and may help you break the ancient restrictions at crucial moments."

Sage Meng also presented a golden bamboo scroll: "This is the 'Humanity Purification Chapter' treasured by Haoran Academy. It can enhance your ability to purify the aura of the void. If you encounter the residual power of the void from ancient times, it may come in handy."

Di Xin accepted the token and bamboo slip, and nodded solemnly: "Thank you both for your concern. We will definitely investigate the truth of the seal and protect the peace of the continent. We will leave the affairs of the Xuanhuang Continent to you two."

As soon as he finished speaking,

Di Xin turned around and waved: "Let's go!"

The four transformed into four streaks of light and sped off towards the far west.

The far west, a desolate wasteland.

Here, yellow sand swirled, the sky took on an eerie dark purple hue, and a faint, pungent smell of blood permeated the air, mingling with the ethereal atmosphere. The ground was riddled with massive ravines and the remains of ancient gods and demons.

Each bone exudes a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy, bearing witness to the fierce battles of ancient times.

"The spatial fluctuations here are indeed unusually intense."

Kong Xuan activated his Seven-Colored Divine Light to protect the four of them: "My divine light is not enough to fully explore the surrounding situation. It seems that the power of the ancient restriction is far beyond our imagination."

The token of the Celestial Elder shone in Di Xin's hand, with silver runes constantly flowing and deducing the route ahead.

"A hundred miles ahead lies an ancient forbidden node, a necessary passage. According to calculations, this forbidden formation is called the 'Illusion Demon Array,' capable of stirring up desires and fears within people's hearts. A moment's carelessness will lead to succumbing to its power..."
