Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

'Snapped! '

Luo Yan raised his hand and slapped it down hard, making the fire crow see stars and its screech echo through the sky.

It struggled, rolled, spewed flames, and unleashed its innate powers, trying to burn everything to ashes.

From a distance, it looked as if another sun had appeared in the sky, hanging high in the heavens, igniting the void.

"Wow!"

The fiery crow roared and soared into the sky, raging and churning in the clouds, its entire body bursting with flames!

Unconvinced, it unleashed fiery red runes across its body, attempting to burn the human ants on its back alive.

This flame, born from innate supernatural power, has an extremely high temperature. Even tens of thousands of miles above the ground, it can make living beings below feel a scorching heat.

Many trees were dried out and then lost their vitality.

The creatures on earth could not withstand this scorching heat and turned into mummies.
'Snapped! '

Luo Yan slapped Huo Wu hard on the head again, causing Huo Wu's pupils to turn white for a moment.

He was clearly stunned by the attack.

"You're not a real golden crow; this little bit of fire can't burn me to death!"

"I know you can understand what I'm saying, so stop causing trouble or I'll skin you alive!"

Then, Luo Yan unleashed several more powerful attacks, causing the fire crow to scream in agony as its scales and feathers fell off its neck.

It became a plucked chicken.

"If you resist again, I'll crush you!"

Luo Yan's tone was chilling, and a phantom-like giant handprint appeared, gripping Huo Wu's neck tightly.

As Luo Yan gradually increased his strength, the faint cracking sound of bones could even be heard.

Luo Yan understood that the demon race was different from other races; it was a race that highly valued individual power and respected the strong.

If Luo Yan cannot subdue this fire crow instantly, the crow will definitely fight him to the death, and will be fearless in the face of death.

However, if the two sides are vastly different in strength, the demon race will not choose to fight a losing battle, but may instead be tamed.

This is the demon race—a powerful being with blood and guts, and a stubborn temperament that chills countless humans to the bone.

'Bah! '

The fire crow cried out in sorrow, its struggles diminished considerably in the face of life-or-death crisis, and it became much more docile.

Luo Yan's guess was correct; even though the Fire Crow had an extraordinary lineage, being descended from the ancient divine beast, the Golden Crow.

However, due to the vast difference in strength between the two sides, even the proud Fire Crow had to lower its noble head.

If it were an ordinary human powerhouse, Huo Wu would never submit, even unto death.

But the animal-skinned boy on his back made Huo Wu's heart tremble, a fear of facing death directly.
"Southwest direction, fly fast!"

Luo Yan released the large hand seal, but then slapped the fire crow several times before it finally calmed down completely.

Then it flew towards the southwest.

The Fire Crow clan may not be very famous among demon beasts, but when it comes to the ancient divine beast Golden Crow, few people have not heard of it.

The Fire Crow is of the bloodline of the Golden Crow, possessing extraordinary fire-based supernatural powers and an extremely powerful demonic body.

In the outside world, it would be an absolute demon king, and even the combined forces of ordinary sects would find it difficult to resist.

But in Luo Yan's hands, it was like a little chick, unable to make the slightest ripple.

However, the fire crow was stubborn but also quick to be tamed, and in the blink of an eye, it began to fawn over Luo Yan.

After the man and the bird left, a child who looked only eight or nine years old emerged from the depths of the cracked earth.

His body was covered by dense earth elemental energy, his aura completely concealed, and his eyes gleamed as he said:
"This aura doesn't seem to belong to any expert from my Flying Cloud Realm. Could it be someone from beyond the realm?"

"If he is a cultivator from beyond this realm, can I follow him and leave this world, and find an opportunity to break through my bottleneck?"

The Earth-Walking Child pondered, his body transforming into a stream of light that merged into the earth before disappearing.

Because the fundamental laws of Feiyun Star are incomplete, its cultivation limit has been locked.

Sixth-order beings are the limit of this world!

Therefore, for the beings of this world who want to break through to a higher realm, there are only two paths left for them to take.

One option is to ascend to the upper realm, and the other is to wander into the outer starry sky, seeking their own laws and opportunities to complete themselves.

The former requires competition and scrambling, while also meeting the requirements of the envoy from the upper realm, such as not being older than three thousand years old, and having to join the power of the envoy from the upper realm and be at his beck and call.

Many beings who do not want to lose their freedom naturally do not want to have a tight band around their heads, so they simply choose not to ascend.

After all, they reside in the Flying Cloud Realm, where they are the kings of this world, free to do whatever they wish.

But once they go to the upper realm and become a member of those forces, it means they will have to accept the arrangements of others.

If it's just some simple tasks like guarding, patrolling, or other duties, no one would refuse.

But every being who can cultivate to this level is the most shrewd of all.

If the messengers from the upper realm were to recruit them and say they would only be assigned to tasks that pose no danger, no one would believe it.

It's highly likely they'll be sent to fight against alien races or other forces.
That's gambling with your life, fighting and struggling!

This means that one's life is no longer safe.

Anyone can do the math: risking one's life to fight for the forces of the upper realm and participate in wars.

There are many ambitious creatures in the world, and there is no shortage of strong individuals who choose to forge ahead with unwavering courage.

At the same time, many creatures don't actually like fighting and killing.

They were willing to cultivate alone, even if their progress was slower.

Therefore, many beings in the Flying Cloud Realm would rather not ascend than get involved in the vortex described by the envoy from the Upper Realm.

In the Flying Cloud Realm, their strength is supreme, and few can threaten their lives.

But once they ventured into a wider world, their once-proud strength became a joke.

Perhaps in the end he will die quietly.
Therefore, many beings in the Flying Cloud Realm would rather be kings of small worlds than become vanguards of powerful forces in the upper realm!
That would be irresponsible towards one's own cultivation!
Besides this, the only remaining path for beings in the Flying Cloud Realm to break through the limitations and reach a higher realm is this one.

That is, to wander in the outer space.

While this is a decent option, the outer space is simply too vast and boundless, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Finding the fundamental laws suitable for one's cultivation in the vast starry sky is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

Therefore, many powerful figures in the Flying Cloud Realm had no choice but to simply remain silent.

They can at least survive for several thousand more years.

The Fire Crow possesses the bloodline of an ancient divine beast, so its flight speed is naturally quite high.

It was surrounded by a layer of flowing light, which was the glow of crimson runes, and even the sky was distorted by the scorching heat.

Luo Yan sat cross-legged on the back of the fire crow, swiftly soaring across the sky.

Along the way, they flew over mountains tens of thousands of miles high, skimmed over boundless oceans, and passed through the so-called ancient religious strongholds.

I saw many different kinds of scenery.

Even powerful figures from the Flying Cloud Realm attempted to drive the fire crow and the beast-skinned youth out of the sect's territory, but Luo Yan easily neutralized their attacks with a wave of his hand. In an instant, they vanished without a trace.

In the distance, a purple sea of ​​mist lingers between heaven and earth, seemingly possessing a life of its own, emanating spiritual energy.

'Bah! '

The fire crow hissed, halted its advance, and dared not go any further, its eyes filled with apprehension and fear.

Forbidden Land of Ziyang!

Luo Yan sensed Huo Wu's thoughts, and looked ahead with a slightly surprised expression.

The demonic bird beneath his feet had reached the pinnacle of the Flying Cloud Realm in strength, yet it still possessed something that could make it wary.

The so-called forbidden area is a place where there is some kind of unpredictable danger, and even the most powerful beings in the Flying Cloud Realm will feel fear and unease.

If you're not careful, you'll be swallowed up by the forbidden area and become one of its skeletons.

The Fire Crow was no exception. Although it had never been here before, the spiritual senses of demonic beasts were inherently more acute than those of human cultivators.

The fire crow sensed a great terror.

That kind of terror transcends life and death!
This is a far more terrifying place than crossing the strongholds of those major sects!

"The malevolent aura is so strong, it's almost tangible."

Luo Yan's gaze swept across the area, taking in the purple clouds in front of him completely.

Under his gaze, the environment within the purple mist was laid bare, filled with desolation, barrenness, and eeriness.

Many broken walls and ruins still stand on the ground, showing signs of decay, clearly indicating that this place was once the ruins of a major sect.

It's just that it's declined now.

Ziyang Sect!
Luo Yan could vaguely make out the words on the stone tablet.

Within the ruins of the Ziyang Sect, one can vaguely see many pale skeletons, as numerous as an abyss or a forest.

These skeletons are left exposed, and when the wind blows, they stir up clouds of dust.

It was clearly dead for a long time, eroded by the years, and already showed signs of weathering.

There were also many emerald green phosphorescent lights, swirling in the low sky, creating an eerie and frightening atmosphere.

This shows that the ruins of the Ziyang Sect have been in disrepair for quite some time.

Luo Yan's eyebrows shone brightly, and his third Dharma Eye appeared. He sensed a unique Daoist charm, which was the life force.

But when he looked closely, he saw nothing.

There were signs of life inhabiting the place, but the aura of the other party was extremely subtle, and even Luo Yan could not detect it at first!

However, he doesn't plan to look at it in detail, as long as it doesn't affect his schedule.

Luo Yan slapped the fire crow, signaling it to fly straight ahead and not to take a detour.

If any strange creatures appear in the purple mist, Luo Yan will naturally take care of dealing with them.

Reluctantly, Huowu flew away through the thick purple clouds.

Inside the ruins of the Ziyang Sect, a pair of emotionless eyes watched the person and bird fly by without offering any obstruction.

If it were any other living being that had broken in, there would probably be an extra skeleton in the Ziyang Forbidden Land by now.

However, the flight of the man and the bird did not lead to any accidents.

Clearly, the beings in the Ziyang Sect ruins possessed considerable intelligence, knowing which types of people to provoke and which types of beings to avoid.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed, and Luo Yan had collected all the spiritual energy of the Flying Cloud Realm.

He patted the fire crow on the head, signaling it to stop.

His trip should now be coming to an end.

It took a terrifying sixth-tier demonic bird more than a month of full-force flight to barely complete one lap around Flying Cloud Star; it was truly an arduous task.

Just think about it, the Heavenly Fortune Star governs the three thousand minor worlds of the Earthly Immortal Alliance, and each minor world takes two months to recover.

What about three thousand small worlds?
How long does it take to just complete one round of inspection?

No wonder, even someone as powerful as Palace Master Gongsun had to set his sights on Luo Yan.

Under normal circumstances, finding a suitable successor for the Heavenly Fortune Star would be as painful as finding a needle in a haystack!

Luo Yan stood atop a snow-capped mountain, and all she could see was a pristine white expanse.

His gaze was calm, his hands formed a hand seal, and he chanted an unknown incantation, transforming heaven and earth.

‘Crash! ’

The profound energy of destiny emanating from Luo Yan surged, transforming into clouds and mist that appeared between heaven and earth.

Under the influence of the mysterious power of fate, images began to appear in the clouds and mist.

One hundred and fifty years later, conflicts arose among the major sects of the Flying Cloud Realm, several forces went to war, and countless other forces took advantage of the chaos.

That battle was fierce and brutal; the earth cracked, lives were lost, and no one survived in the surrounding tens of thousands of miles.

The unfolding of fate continues.

Four hundred years later, a demon king from the demon race invaded, and the human race sent cultivators to fight against him. The mountains of corpses and seas of blood filled an entire mountain range.

This battle affected most of the Flying Cloud Realm, with humans and demons fighting everywhere.

After this battle, the numbers of both humans and demons decreased by at least 20%!

The scene shifts again in the next moment.

Seven hundred years later, wisps of malevolent energy rose into the sky, seeping from the ground and spreading throughout the entire Flying Cloud Realm.

Subsequently, under the influence of the evil energy, the creatures of this world gradually lost their minds and became mindless walking corpses.

The human sects of the Flying Cloud Realm were helpless against this suddenly spreading malevolent energy and had no choice but to flee Flying Cloud Star.

Before long, the once vibrant Flying Cloud Star became a dead star.

The mysteries of fate continue to unfold, and a colossal beast with three heads, gray skin, and pustules covering its body is born.

A colossal natural disaster!

Immediately afterwards, Luo Yan saw countless calamity energies condense here, and the monstrous beast of natural disaster opened its mouth, turning the grass, trees, and rocks of the Flying Cloud Realm into dust and dissipating.

Boundless energy and essence surged into the body of the monstrous beast.

Subsequently, countless natural disasters erupted on Feiyun Star.

Flash floods, hurricanes, torrential rains, droughts, and plagues
The land, which was once lush with green trees and had a suitable environment, has now become a barren wasteland.

The monstrous natural disasters continue to wreak havoc; the more severe and frequent the disasters, the larger the monsters become.

Eventually, it grew to the size of an entire planet.

Or rather, it was a colossal beast's body composed of streams of calamity, so large that just one glance at it made one feel dizzy and disoriented.

This is a truly ominous beast, a harbinger of disaster.

Nine hundred years later, Flying Cloud Star was destroyed. (End of this chapter)
