I have a volume of human scriptures

Chapter 846: Northern Expedition to Suppress Demons, Supreme Evil Shadow (6.4k -in-)

"My two Taoist friends, I am General Da'an Chaotianchi General Nan Ke, and I am on my way to the Ten Thousand Monsters Cave."

The silver-armored figure put away the sword in his hand, put it on his back, and bowed to Yu Chen and Wen Qitian, saying with a smile: "I see that you two Taoist friends have great magical powers. May I ask which sect you are from?"

Yu Chen and Wen Qitian looked at each other, thinking that their family members now didn't understand what the situation in this world was like.

So they said that the two of them were brothers, and that they were adopted by a teacher without any sect or school to practice in seclusion since childhood, and only recently came out to experience life, and were quite puzzled by the current social situation.

So this is the excuse.

Nan Ke heard this without any doubt, but just bowed and invited the two to go with him: "My two Taoist friends, the world is not peaceful nowadays - the demons are wreaking havoc on the people of the world, grinding their teeth and sucking blood to kill people like crazy, causing the lives of the people to be devastated and the people to live in misery.

I wonder if you two fellow Taoists have the ambition to go with me to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave to kill the Demon King and restore order to the world?"

Yu Chen and Wen Qitian thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

——They are completely unfamiliar with this world, and the surroundings seem to be deserted. If they can join General Nan Ke’s team, they should be able to understand the specific situation of this world as soon as possible, and even get clues about the "Heaven-Repairing Stone".

Nan Ke was even more delighted to see that the two agreed. He immediately took them back to the army, invited them to a carriage behind the team of heavenly horses and silver carriages, and assigned waiters to serve them respectfully.

Soon, the huge army crossed the flattened Nielong Plain like a tide and continued to march northward.

Yu Chen and Wen Qitian were sitting in the carriage. The waiter serving them was Nan Ke's bodyguard and apprentice, named Zhou Zhou. He was very young, about eighteen or nineteen years old, and still childish.

He had heard about the heroic feat of Yu Chen, Wen Qitian and General Nan Ke joining forces to flatten the entire Nielongyuan, and was full of admiration for the two.

The two also took this opportunity to ask many questions about this world.

Zhou Zhou already knew that the two adults had been living in seclusion and practicing Buddhism, so he did not find it strange. After pouring tea for the two of them, he began to talk incessantly.

According to him, this world is called the Yunmeng World, which is vast and boundless with a radius of tens of thousands of miles.

In all corners of the world, besides humans, there are many other strange and bizarre monsters.

These monsters were born from the Ten Thousand Monsters Cave in the far north. They have killed and eaten countless people, and feed on humans. The hatred between the two sides is irreconcilable.

For countless years, the human race has been at a disadvantage, and the only remaining dynasty, the Da'an Dynasty, had to retreat to the southern part of Yunmeng, always guarding against invasions by the demon race.

It was not until twenty years ago that General Nan Ke, known as the "General Tianchi", emerged in the army.

Yu Chen and Wen Qitian noticed that when talking about Nan Ke, the guard Zhou Zhou's eyes burst into a light of great longing and admiration, and he talked nonstop!
According to him, Nan Ke joined the demon-suppressing army of the Da'an Dynasty twenty-two years ago. He was born like a god, with unparalleled talent in cultivation, and made rapid progress with unstoppable force.

If that were all, that would be fine.

The most important thing is that he is also extremely intelligent, with the best understanding in ancient and modern times. Not only is he gifted in cultivation, but he is also extraordinary in the most strange ways - alchemy, refining qi, forging, planting, smelting, talismans...

He created a martial arts method and advertised it to the world; he improved the smelting technology, which made the equipment level of Da'an Dynasty soar; he promoted planting, so that everyone in the world could eat; he also drew the blueprints of the huge war weapons, which made the border of Da'an Dynasty break through the southern part of Yunmeng...

All in all, in Zhou Zhou's opinion, Nan Ke is basically omnipotent.

It was also because of him that people in Da'an Dynasty could afford to eat, and no longer suffered from hunger and cold, and the population increased rapidly in ten years.

Also, because of the "Martial Saint Canon" he created, the overall strength of the Qi-cultivators in the Da'an Dynasty increased and expanded.

Not only that, he also personally led the troops to conquer from the South Pole, vowing to save all human beings in the entire Yunmeng world from the mouths of demons.

In the past ten years, he almost single-handedly narrowed the terrible gap between humans and demons.

Ten years later, he led the entire human race, raised the banner, and began to counterattack the demons.

Now, ten years have passed, and the human army, led by General Nan Ke of Tianchi, has killed their way through the entire Yunmeng world from south to north.

After flattening the Evil Dragon Plain, they are about to kill tens of thousands of demons in the Demon Cave and kill their way into the source of the birth of all demons and monsters!

"The general will definitely succeed! He will definitely kill all the demons! From now on, the people of our Da'an Dynasty will no longer have to worry about being devoured by demons!"

Finally, Zhou Zhou's eyes lit up and he took a deep breath.

After a long time, he realized that he seemed to be too selfless. His face turned red, he felt guilty and apologized quickly.

Yu Chen and Wen Qitian waved their hands and asked him to leave first.

The two looked at each other and saw the doubt in each other's eyes.

Something is wrong. Something is very wrong.

First of all, from Zhu Shun’s confession, Yu Chen learned that Jiujingzhou was an ancient immortal’s ranch.

Every hundred years, they would harvest the souls of the mortals among them, refine them into incense, and offer them to the ancient immortals.

——Because the passage of time is distorted, one hundred years in the Thirty-Six Continents is equivalent to one day in the outside world.

And if that is the case, Jiujingzhou should encounter a "natural disaster" every hundred years.

This is the harvest from the Creator.

But from what Zhou Zhou had just said, the Da'an Dynasty had lasted for thousands of years, and although it had always been under the threat of demons, there had never been any of the so-called "abnormalities" that occurred once every hundred years.

This obviously does not match the actual situation in Jiujingzhou.

Furthermore, although human beings are weak, they have infinite possibilities.

——The battle between heaven and man is the best example.

At the beginning of the war between the three realms, the ancient immortals were victorious. They treated the entire Eastern Wilderness as a pasture, grazing the world and absorbing souls.

At that time, they deprived living beings of their joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, making them completely unaware and unable to resist.

But as they became bored with human souls that were devoid of any emotions or experiences, and as the ancient immortal lineage grew in strength, they gradually loosened their control over the human spirit and soul.

It is precisely because of this that the disaster is sown.

The human race rose again, and together with the remaining power of the Three Realms, they launched a war between heaven and man, which completely brought the ancient immortal lineage to its knees.

This lesson is real history and comes at a bloody price.

The ancient immortals are just evil and cunning, but they are not stupid.

Therefore, they would never make the same mistake again. The creatures of the thirty-six continents must be completely controlled by the continental gods. They would never allow them any chance to resist, including but not limited to locking down their technology, prohibiting their cultivation, and regular massacres...

Yu Chen and Wen Qitian even speculated that the path to cultivation for the living beings in the Thirty-Six Continents has been completely cut off, and they are left to grow old, get sick, and die, and to suffer through grudges and love in this cage.

——Just like the creatures on the Holy Island of Haotian Holy Land.

But the reality is not so.

The level of Qi refining in this Yunmeng world is far beyond the imagination of Yu Chen and Wen Qitian!

Many of those ordinary soldiers have reached the Tongtian realm, and there are countless Qi-refining practitioners at the Tianzun realm. Even Nan Ke has reached the Hedao realm.

He was only one step away from breaking through to the Dao Fruit stage and possessing the same level of Dao and realm as the Gold and Silver Patriarchs.

Yu Chen didn't believe that the two traitors would dare to let such a thing happen.

So…something must be wrong.

But the two have not found it yet.

"In addition... there is one thing that is also very strange." Wen Qitian said: "The cultivation system in this world is extremely chaotic and completely illogical. Many steps can be regarded as fantasy - but they can still achieve results in this way."

"Not only that, that General Nan Ke might also have problems - he alone managed to flatten the gap between the two races and even reached their base camp. Apart from that, he is almost omnipotent, refining pills, refining weapons, talismans... These are fine, after all, they are all about refining Qi, and if you master one, you will master everything.

But apart from that, he was extremely proficient in planting, smelting, hunting, civil engineering...almost any aspect - even if one is gifted, it is impossible for someone to have such energy to master 360 trades after practicing to the Hedao realm. "

Yu Chen also spoke.

The two looked at each other and were silent for a long time.

But everyone came to a conclusion in their hearts.

——There are big problems in this world, and Nan Ke... seems to have problems too.

After some discussion, not only were the doubts not answered, but even more questions arose.

The sun sets and the moon rises, and in the blink of an eye it is already dusk.

Zhou Zhou knocked on the car door and said respectfully, "My Lords, the army is stationed and it is time for dinner."

Yu Chen and Wen Qitian suppressed the countless questions in their minds and walked out.

According to Zhou Zhou, when the army set out on the expedition ten years ago, the Demon-Suppressing Army had a total of three million soldiers. While they fought and sacrificed their lives with those hateful demons along the way, they also recruited countless people from the townspeople they rescued into the army.

——Zhou Zhou himself is like this, he just joined the army three years ago.

Now that they have arrived at the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, the number of the army has not decreased but increased, and is approaching the four million mark.

Such a large army, with good and bad soldiers among it, naturally cannot run endlessly like a machine, so Nan Ke would order a rest every once in a while.

Today, that's exactly what happened.

Millions of people stopped and set up camp on the spot.

As night approached, the kitchen staff also lit a fire. Huge bonfires burned brightly, lighting up the sky. The fragrant aroma filled the air and penetrated into the nostrils of countless creatures.

As powerful foreign aid, Yu Chen and Wen Qitian were naturally invited to join Nan Ke.

Amid the blazing bonfire, people held large bowls filled with magical rice and demon meat. Not only could they fill their stomachs and replenish their consumption, but they could also strengthen their qi and blood and consolidate their cultivation.

As a general, Nan Ke did not receive any special treatment. The meat and rice he ate were no different from those of ordinary soldiers.

Yu Chen and Fei Sheng followed the local customs and ordered a large bowl of spiritual rice, which they ate with the fragrant broth.

Halfway through, Nan Ke pointed to the north and looked up at the night sky. At the horizon, there was a dark shadow, endless.

He took a deep breath and said with a smile: "That is the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, the source of all demons and monsters. As long as we flatten that place, there will be no more demons and monsters invading the entire Yunmeng world."

——The monsters in this world are completely different from the monsters that Yu Chen has in mind.

The monsters in the Eastern Wilderness are just a race. They are also living beings. There is no essential difference between them and humans.

But the monsters in this Yunmeng world are different. They have no emotions and cannot communicate. It is as if they are just following their bloodthirsty instincts, slaughtering and devouring all living things, whether they are humans or birds and beasts, without any distinction.

After listening to Nao Ke's words, Yu Chen and Wen Qitian looked at each other and started chatting with him. During the conversation, they mentioned Nan Ke's many "great achievements" in a roundabout way.

The latter seemed to have no idea of ​​the two people's implicit meaning and began to talk about his own past.

It is said that when he was very young, his wife and he were killed by a demon. Fortunately, they met an old man with six fingers - that was Nan Ke's teacher.

He taught Nan Ke countless knowledge and skills, as well as cultivation methods and magical powers, and stayed with him until he was twenty years old. Then he suddenly disappeared one day and evaporated from the face of the earth.

And everything that Nan Ke learned was passed on to the Da'an Dynasty without reservation, making the Dynasty stronger and more powerful.

Yu Chen and Wen Qitian just realized it.

——If Nan Ke was not lying, his teacher, the old man with six fingers, was the real omnipotent man. Everything Nan Ke had came from him.

"Every time I felt like I couldn't hold on any longer, the teacher would always write to me from nowhere to cheer me up. It can be said that without him, there would be no me."

When talking about his teacher, the Tianchi general Nan Ke showed a look of admiration and respect on his face. It was exactly the same as when Zhou Zhou looked at him.

After hearing this, Yu Chen and Wen Qitian did not ask any more questions. When the moon was full in the sky, they returned to the carriage to rest.

The next morning, the demon-suppressing army set out again.

——Although the Evil Dragon Plain is the last checkpoint in the attack on the Cave of Ten Thousand Monsters.

But between the two, there are still many human cities and demon nests.

Yu Chen witnessed with his own eyes how Nan Ke led the army to slay countless demons and save countless lives from danger.

This general, whether facing his subordinates, guards, disciples or those unarmed civilians, never had any airs at all. He always smiled and smiled at all times, just like the sun, emitting dazzling light, illuminating and warming everyone around him.

Yu Chen and Wen Qitian talked to him, and he said that he only had one ideal.

"If one day when the sun rises, everyone no longer has to worry about the invasion of demons, everyone has thick white porridge on the table, and everyone can wear clean clothes... even if you die immediately, you can rest in peace."

Yu Chen and Wen Qitian looked at the face covered with scars in the dusk - those were the marks left on him by countless demons during the ten years of battle, and they were also the great achievements that belonged only to him.

According to his apprentice and close guard Zhou Zhou, three years ago, in order to save the people in their city, Nan Ke broke into the cave of a three-headed demon alone, killed everyone in his path, and brought everyone out of the cave safely.

There were also dozens of indelible scars on his body.

The more Yu Chen and Wen Qitian learned, the more they respected this man who was as dazzling as the sun.

As for people, some are bad to the core, while others are so good that they are hard to fault.

Nan Ke belongs to the latter.

——At least that’s the case for now.

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye half a month had passed.

Yu Chen and Wen Qitian were not in a hurry.

Because a hundred years have passed in the Thirty-Six Continents, but only one day has passed in the outside world.

In other words, from the time they came from the Eastern Wilderness, perhaps only a moment had passed in the outside world.

And it was on this day, when the morning light was shining, the majestic and boundless demon-suppressing army arrived at the ultimate source.

——The Cave of Monsters.

This is a vast and terrifying land of darkness. Even under the vast sunlight, it is still extremely dark, as if it can completely swallow up even the light.

And on that dark land, there are caves of varying sizes. It is pitch black inside and it is difficult to see anything.

They are so densely packed that they are impossible to count, just like a huge beehive.

There was only an endless stream of terrifying demonic energy rising up into the sky, transforming into terrifying lead-like dark clouds that covered the sky!
The power is so great and endless!
And at this moment, it seemed to sense the breath of the crowd, and this terrifying Cave of Demons was awakened.

Tremble!

Terrifying roars and howls, bloodthirsty and crazy, endless and boundless!
The whole world seemed to be shaking uncontrollably!

The army stopped.

Nan Ke walked out of the carriage with a solemn expression and drew out the long sword from behind!
There are no superfluous words, no passionate narration.

Just one word.

We are iron-blooded and irreconcilable!
"--kill!"

So at that moment, the nearly four million terrifying troops were excited and their voices shook the sky!

"kill!!!"

With the determination to die in everyone's eyes, they took resolute steps and headed towards the origin of this ten-year war!

The Cave of Ten Thousand Demons also responded at the same time.

One after another, terrifying monsters rushed out from the honeycomb-like hole, their bodies covered with terrible black and red magic mist. They looked strange, hideous and terrifying!
Roaring and screaming, with endless brutality and madness, he came to kill
For a moment, the two armies met.

Looking from the sky, it looked like two terrifying waves, one black and one silver, colliding with each other!
Then it shattered into endless scarlet color!

Just like a terrifying flesh-and-blood grinding wheel, countless lives fall to the ground every minute and every second!

There are humans and demons.

Then, after them, more humans and demons followed one after another, stepping on the corpses of their companions and fighting in blood!

The vast and endless cave of monsters turned into a bloody purgatory.

Nan Ke took the lead and charged forward!
The giant sword in his hand burst out with a terrifyingly fiery light, evaporating all the demons in its path!
Yu Chen and Wen Qitian also fought at the forefront.

The former holds the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords in one hand and the Nine-Dragon Divine Fire Shield in the other.

The sword in his left hand shone with overwhelming light and sword energy swept across the sky. Every time a piece of chaotic and terrifying sword energy fell, countless demons were shattered into pieces.

The dragon in the right hand roared, and the sea of ​​fire surged endlessly. As the seven terrifying fire dragons raged, countless demons were burned to ashes!

Wen Qitian was like the banished immortal Ling Fan, holding the terrifying Nine Dragon Cauldron in his hand. Nine terrifying giant dragons appeared and destroyed everything in their rush!
The fight was so fierce that the sky was dark and pitch black, without even the sun or the moon!

Even after several days
, there is still no sign of ending.

The more they fought, the more Yu Chen and Wen Qitian frowned.

Because in this fight, more than ten demons in the Hedao realm died at Yu Chen's hands.

There were also seven or eight demons in the Hedao realm who died at Nan Ke’s hands.

There were more than twenty demons in the Hedao realm who were killed by Wen Qitian!

All together, there are about thirty or forty demons in the Hedao realm!

——You must know that even among the holy land families in the Eastern Wilderness, there are only a dozen or so people who have reached the Hedao realm.

And there are only seven Hedao Shangzun in the Tushita Palace of Jiujing Continent, one of the thirty-six continents, including Zhu Shun who has already passed away!

But even the Jiujingzhou, which was used as a cage and pasture by the Tushita Palace, plus the five evil dragons of Hedao and the Hedao demons killed by Nan Ke along the way, the number of people has exceeded fifty!
——Who the hell is imprisoning whom?
"Sir, you are afraid that when your blood essence fell, you were accidentally caught in a space-time rift, so that we did not go to the Jiujing Continent but traveled to a different world?"

Wen Qitian couldn't help it and muttered to himself.

After hearing this, Yu Chen even had the same idea.

——This Yunmeng world is so weird.

But now is not the time to worry about these things.

The endless demons swarmed out, roaring and charging forward!
Everyone was caught up in the endless cycle of killing and being killed.

The dark red blood dyed the bodies of Yu Chen and the other two red, like ghosts and gods from hell, coming out covered in blood!

Another six days passed.

The entire Demon Cave was littered with corpses and a vast ocean of blood under the ravages of war!
As for Yu Chen and the other two, Yu Chen ate the ginseng fruit himself, which gave him endless energy and magic power, and he was always in his prime.

Not to mention Wen Qitian, he is a Dao Fruit Realm being, and can suppress countless demons with a wave of his hand.

And I don’t know if Nan Ke took drugs or something, but he was full of fighting spirit and seemed to never get tired, he kept charging forward!

By that moment, ten days had passed since the war began.

More than a hundred Hedao demons have died at the hands of Yu Chen and his two companions.

——The total number of people who have reached the Dao-heaping realm in the entire Seven Saints and Eight Clans in the Eastern Wilderness is roughly around this number.

And the terrible demons under the Hedao died in countless numbers in the battle with the demon-suppressing army.

After ten days, Yu Chen and his two companions became numb from killing. Their hands rose, their swords fell, and their magical powers showed that demons and monsters were killed - it was like a machine, they kept killing, killing non-stop.

I almost vomited from killing so many people.

Finally, one day, at a certain moment, the endless and terrifying demons no longer rushed out of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave. The corpses of countless demons had already formed a thick layer on the ground, endless.

The sunlight from the east tore through the darkness and shone down.

On the other hand, the Demon-Suppressing Army was reduced from four million to a few hundred thousand.

Soldiers, covered in blood, dragged their exhausted bodies and sat on a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Nan Ke supported himself with his sword, exhaled a long breath, looked around with sadness and joy, his mouth cracked and tears fell.

I don’t know whether to cry or laugh.

But at that moment, he still used up his last bit of strength and said, "Kids! We... won!"

At that moment, a roar like a tidal wave erupted!
Everyone was crying and laughing, the noise was deafening.

until……

"Humph……"

A cold snort came from underground.

The entire Cave of Ten Thousand Monsters fell into deathly silence in an instant!

An infinitely terrifying ancient pressure came crushing down with great force!

The earth collapsed and the soil and rocks exploded!
The darkness spread from the thick earth, holding up a figure like a minister, surrounded by black fog and with a ferocious aura!
At that moment, countless lives were trembling all over as if struck by lightning!

Yu Chen and Wen Qitian looked at each other in shock!

——Tao fruit!
The demon that appeared under the earth is actually at the Dao Fruit realm!
Then, the black fog dissipated, revealing its true appearance.

It turned out... to be a person!

An old man with white hair and beard, wearing a pitch-black Taoist robe, carrying endless terrifying darkness, overlooking all living beings!

Nan Ke looked solemn.

Wen Qitian frowned slightly.

Yu Chen...slowly typed a question mark.

Because he knows.

He was very familiar with the image of this demon in the Hedao realm!

The murmurs seemed to be squeezed out from the throat, word by word.

"Supreme Lord?"
