A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 559 [Netherworld]

As the Vermillion Bird spread its wings and flew high in the southern part of the ancient world, it was pulled by the power of pure yang and swayed the dimensions of time and space, and the fire of the four symbols completely rioted.

Wisps of flames exploded inside each volcano, rushing out from deep underground, carrying terrifying high temperature and heat straight up into the sky.

The earth was shaking, and countless plates were about to be squeezed. The Four Symbols Fire, which was exploding all the time, roared along the branches of thousands of fire veins, loudly declaring to all living beings in the prehistoric world its mighty power that was enough to submerge the sky and the earth and reshape the universe.

This is the terrifying power hidden inside the Undying Volcano.

Without an Ultimate Dao Lord who is proficient in the "Fire Element" and on the verge of merging with the Dao, and with the power of a large number of Eternal Emperors who are suppressing it without stopping, this terrifying destructive force that has been accumulated since the beginning of the world will be nakedly displayed in front of all sentient beings, setting off a sign of the destruction of the world.

Just like now.

The Vermillion Bird spread its wings high, and glanced indifferently at the panicked creatures in the southern land and the many terrified foreign overlords, then retracted its gaze and began to examine the many Taoist Lords who were proficient in the "fire element" and were suppressing the nodes of the southern fire veins.

He nodded slightly, chuckling in his heart, "The mission was accomplished quite well. With the help of thousands of Dao Lords with the power of Eternal Emperors, we were able to suppress the power of the southern land's fire veins in a large formation and temporarily connect them into a whole."

"I will then borrow the power of the Four Symbols Fire, which will not be a problem at all."

"As long as you don't use it for too long."

The next moment, the tone of the Taoist sound that had been echoing in the bronze bell changed quietly, and a terrifying "Tao" was pulled out from the heavens and the earth, forcibly gathering the infinite destructive power of the Four Symbols Fire, and erecting a pillar supporting the sky in the southernmost part of the prehistoric world.

Endless "fire" is rising. All concepts and symbols related to "fire" have a destination at this moment, and are constantly moving closer to this pillar of heaven.

The creatures who practiced with "fire" as the foundation of their practice, looked at the towering "pillar of fire", and the Tao essence in their bodies underwent a strange but positive sublimation, as if they saw their future "Tao" in it.

The creatures who have reached the realm of the Lord of Life and Death heard a voice echoing in their minds, telling them kindly that this was one of the origins of the great wilderness.

On a mountain range close to the south of Honghuang, very close to the center.

A young Taoist, standing on the top floor of a loft, looked towards the south with a look of amazement on his face, "This is the 'Eternal Ultimate Fire Path'. I never thought that the 'ultimate path' practiced by the great god Suzaku is actually the 'ultimate fire path'. It's incredible."

"It is clear that the 'ultimate way' displayed by the great god Suzaku before was all biased towards the cosmic light. I thought this great god was going to merge with the 'way of the beginning of summer' and become the eternal ultimate emperor."

"I'm afraid no god or demon in the vast land can guess it, right?"

The old Taoist priest who was standing next to the young Taoist priest and exuding a faint magical aura all over his body, picked up a gourd of wine, took a sip, and his face showed some emotion.

He showed some helplessness and sighed softly, "Not only the Suzaku Great God Zulong, Zufeng and Fuxi, the 'ultimate way' achieved by these three great gods, I'm afraid that any god or demon who knows something about them will find it incredible."

"According to the secrets of the prehistoric world, although the Ancestral Phoenix and Ancestral Dragon are world gods born with the 'Extreme Yin' and 'Extreme Yang' Daos, after the opening up of the prehistoric world, most of them no longer involve these two accompanying 'Dao's', whether in front of other creatures or in the methods they used in the past."

"Everyone in the entire prehistoric world thought that they were like the other Chaos Gods and Demons. After reincarnation, they chose to change their paths and rebuild their foundations."

The old Taoist shook the wine gourd and took another sip with a slightly satisfied look on his face. Then he took out another gourd that exuded a faint aroma of wine and made a faint sound of water when it was shaken, and handed it to the young Taoist beside him.

After taking a look at the gourd, the young Taoist shook his head, stretched out his finger and pointed. A faint wisp of wind leaped out from his hand, emitting faint rays of light.

"boom"

A muffled sound was heard, and the gourd that originally emitted the aroma of wine and the sound of dripping water suddenly disappeared, leaving only a Yuanshi that only had the shape of a gourd.

When the young Taoist saw him, several black lines instantly appeared on his forehead. He said with a slightly unfriendly look, "Why have you become so naughty recently?"

"You are the leader of our Wujian lineage. The twenty-seven Dao Lords of Life and Death all follow you as their leader. Shouldn't you be more stable and approachable?"

The old man's eyebrows kept twitching, and he grinned and said, "Am I not stable and friendly enough?"

"And I think that I, the leader of the Wujian lineage, have been doing a very good job recently. The newly promoted Lord of Life and Death of the Wujian lineage all look at me with new eyes."

"Whether it's pulling a bunch of old guys to this land to build this excellent fertile land for cultivation, or taking the little ones to the East China Sea to hone their Tao hearts and let them step into the threshold of cultivation."

"This is a real achievement for the Wujian lineage."

The young Taoist was silent for a moment, staring straight at the old man.

Then he said, "Xin Mo, the achievement you are talking about is going to the East China Sea to fish with a group of kids in the Xiantian realm, and then fishing up the Illusion Dao Lord?"

"Or did we make a bet with that group of hot-tempered female cultivators on Mount Tianshan and lose the sacred mountain that the Great Desolation Heavenly Dao gave to our Wujian lineage, and were forced to migrate to this place?"

"Why did your original fighting spirit disappear without a trace after you opened up the 'Infinite Chaos World' in the chaos outside the prehistoric land?"

This time, it was the old man's turn to remain silent.

Soon, he pointed at the four pillars rising from the prehistoric land and said with a wry smile, "It's not that I don't want to fight, but I can't fight at all, and it's impossible for me to win."

"I think it's enough to have a 'dojo' or 'school' with a good reputation in the wild. If there are more, I'm afraid that one day I will silently offend a great god. Then the wild heaven will suddenly punish us and wipe out our Wujian lineage."

"Look, in the south is the 'Eternal Ultimate Fire Path', in the east is the 'Eternal Ultimate Wood Path', in the west is the 'Eternal Ultimate Gold Path', and in the north is the 'Eternal Ultimate Water Path'."

The old man sighed helplessly, and an extremely bitter taste had even filled the attic with his illusionary Taoist essence.

"Look, Suzaku, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise, these four great gods of the ancient times have to put on layers of disguises whenever they want to plot something. Even before they merge with the Dao, they have to conceal the Dao they have cultivated, fearing that if they are exposed, other gods and demons will find their relatively weak points and then plot against them."

"Moreover, after the Taoist ancestor preached, not only did the prehistoric heavenly way become more perfect, but the methods that allowed the powerful Taoist Lord of Life and Death and the Eternal Emperor to successfully reincarnate and cultivate again all emerged."

"Become the Ultimate Dao Lord, then let your second soul reincarnate and cultivate again, then step into another 'ultimate path', or use the 'fusion of the strongest path' to first merge the Dao and become the master, then reincarnate with the second soul to cultivate an 'ultimate path' related to your own 'eternal path', in order to become the 'eternal ultimate emperor'."

"The second soul and the original body have complete and relatively independent true spirits. It is completely feasible to bypass the corresponding cultivation restrictions. And I heard that there is also a method called 'other self enlightenment', which can also use some materials related to the true spirit to 'produce' a 'other self' that can be in harmony with the Tao."

"Who knows whether a seemingly normal creature is actually a powerful master, a shrewd and scheming ultimate Taoist master, or..."

"The current world is unimaginable in the chaotic era before."

The old man clapped his hands, then lay down on the wooden chair that exuded a faint sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance, and became relaxed and comfortable.

"Also, my current Taoist name is 'Fang Xiang', which means Fang Xiang Daojun who controls the 'Way of Expelling Epidemics' and the 'Way of Illusion'."

"Ever since Luo Hou, who was revered as the 'Ancestor of Demons', appeared in the prehistoric world, we can no longer use the Taoist name with the word 'Demon' in it. Otherwise, some of the 'enemies' affected by the catastrophe will most likely come to settle accounts with us."

"Just like you, your Taoist name has changed from 'Wind Demon' to 'Ji Bo'. 'Ji Bo' Taoist master who controls the 'Way of Heavenly Wind'."

"tsk"

The young Taoist looked at the old man who was lying flat on his back, taking a sip of wine from time to time, and his expression gradually relaxed.

He sighed in his heart, "Faced with this vast land of water that is so deep that you can't see the bottom, maybe lying down like this is a good choice."

"Just practice the 'Way of Expelling Epidemics' and the 'Way of Illusion', and use these two 'integrated strongest ways' to become an Eternal Emperor of the dominant level. Then, with the help of the destiny bestowed upon the Wujian lineage by the Great Heavenly Dao, there is a glimmer of hope that you can sublimate the 'Origin of Ten Thousand Daos' in the future and become a free and unrestrained supreme being."

"As long as you give up some things and learn to avoid disasters, such as the sacred mountain bestowed by the Great Heavenly Dao, you can avoid the reckoning of those Dao Lords who have lost their Dao hearts and gone completely crazy because of Luohou."

"Unfortunately, I no longer have the opportunity to lie flat. The last of the seven eastern blue dragons is called 'Ji Bo'."

The young Taoist slowly shifted his gaze and looked towards the east, vaguely seeing a god and demon whose body was surrounded by the "Ultimate Heavenly Wind Dao" and suppressed a wind vein node.

The god and demon who had stepped into the second level of the Ultimate Heavenly Wind Dao with the help of Emperor Liujiang was looking at the Eastern Sky Pillar that was constantly "growing" above him, and the majestic real dragon that was so huge that there was no end in sight and its scales were green, with a look of shock on his face.

At this moment, four pillars of heaven rose from the four directions of the prehistoric land, and derived four "eternal ultimate ways" symbolizing the origin of the four symbols of the prehistoric land. They merged into the Tai Chi golden bridge across the prehistoric land, thus forming a grand four-symbol formation diagram.

In just a moment, the aura of the Tai Chi Golden Bridge that seemed to transcend the constraints of time became even more terrifying, as if it had turned into a Great Wall that cuts off the influence of cause and effect and fate, spanning the ages.

The sounds of four footsteps echoed in the void. The figures of Suzaku, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise stood on the long river of time at the same time, standing behind Zulong, Zufeng, and Fuxi, looking directly at the terrifying power that was about to come and could "correct" the Eternal Ultimate Emperor.

The seven great gods of the ancient times attacked at the same time. They formed a battle formation and used seven strongly related "Eternal Ultimate Ways" to send down terrible forces that could almost generate all things in the world, and they fought against that terrifying "correction" with all their might.

"Boom!" The entire primitive world shook noticeably, and the power of the four symbols that had been accumulated since the beginning of the world began to surge wildly, causing the faces of the "Star Gods" who were granted "star destiny" and were suppressing the nodes of the earth veins to turn extremely pale in an instant.

As the main force that temporarily suppressed the Four Symbols' power that exploded in the primeval world, although they are also Dao Lords who possess the fighting power of Eternal Emperors, compared with the former Chaos Gods and Demons who have the authority to borrow the original power of the primeval world, they are still a bit far behind in every aspect.

Fortunately, the shaking of the primitive world only lasted for a moment.

This level of riot is still within the tolerance of many Taoist Lords.

However, what followed was an inexplicable fear. No Dao Lord could accurately describe it, and no living being who practiced "Deduction of One Dao" could explain where it came from. But without exception, it seemed to descend into the consciousness of every Dao Lord who suppressed the node, attempting to tamper with their self-consciousness and their heart of cultivation.

"Everyone, please listen to me talk about my state of mind."

"The Tao has both clarity and turbidity, both movement and stillness."

Just as the expressions of the many Dao Lords gradually became ferocious, ethereal Dao sounds echoed in the void, emitting bits of pure meaning, fighting against the horrible fear, constantly alleviating the fear in their hearts, and restoring their exhausted minds.

Ji Bo Daojun, who was sitting at a wind meridian node in the eastern land, looked relaxed.

He slowly raised his head and looked towards the sky, gazing at the seven eternal ultimate emperors standing above the long river of time. He said to himself with some puzzlement, "Bodhi Patriarch, use the method of 'dreaming into the universe' to preach to us Dao monarchs, to fight against that inexplicable fear and protect our hearts and minds."

Then, looking at the past history that had overlapped with the current time node and was gradually solidifying, "The Lord of the Star Picking Mansion, who defeated many star gods and demons, picked up the past history from the long river of time, tore apart cause and effect and fate, and made the ancient history of the past overlap with the contemporary history of today."

"Nine Eternal Ultimate Emperors, these great gods of the ancient world have gathered so much power, what are they planning?"

"As the Ultimate Emperor of Eternity, you have already stood at the pinnacle of the prehistoric world. What else is there worth their planning?"

When Ji Bo Daojun looked a little dazed and hesitant, a terrifying aura suddenly rose from the center of the wilderness, exuding a strong breath of the earth, as if it possessed the boundless power to give birth to all things.

In an instant, all the forces related to the "Earth Element" prostrated themselves and bowed to the center of the Great Desolation. At the same time, countless gods and demons who used this as the foundation of their practice felt a very familiar yet unfamiliar eternal force covering the entire Great Desolation.

Ji Bo Daojun's expression changed, "This is the 'Eternal Ultimate Earthly Path', the tenth eternal ultimate path?!"

"There is actually a great god from the ancient times who wants to merge with the Dao and bloom the flower of eternity at this time? But why is the breath of this elemental force so unfamiliar? It doesn't seem to be from any famous god."

After thinking for a moment, Ji Bo Daojun began to use the art of heaven's secrets and started to calculate, deducing the identity of the ultimate Daojun who was in harmony with the Tao.

But, just for a moment, he suddenly showed astonishment, "This Ultimate Dao Lord who is in the process of merging with the Dao, is in the ruins of the Dharma Ending Period where no vitality can be sensed after the collapse of Zhou Mountain?"

“Moreover, this ultimate Dao Lord who has achieved the unity of Dao is not one of those former Chaos Gods and Demons, but an innate being that was born after the creation of the Primordial World?!”

"Zu Qilin, how could it be him?!"

Before Ji Bo could come to his senses, a force belonging to the "Ultimate Way of Eternity" swept over, covering countless places that the "Earth Element" could reach.

An extremely heavy force quietly suppressed down, and wisps of regional spirituality with the power of the earth, such as mountains, deserts, grasslands, etc., all condensed into wisps of symbols belonging to the "Earth Element", and expressed their respect in a certain direction.

Just like other great gods like Suzaku, in a time that was completely inconsistent with the normal time required for the ultimate Taoist to merge with the Tao, he completely blossomed the flower of eternity, completed the process of merging with the Tao, and thoroughly realized the "eternal ultimate earthly Tao", and was promoted to the eternal ultimate emperor.

In the eyes of all the creatures in the ancient world, a khaki-colored Qilin with a solemn appearance and a hint of blessing appeared at the original site of Zhou Mountain. It suddenly activated the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Array" "drawn" by thousands of Taoist priests on the ancient land, and connected it with the Tai Chi Golden Bridge above the years with the power of "Eternal Ultimate Earth Dao".

With the support of the ancient land, the Four Symbols Formation began to change, incorporating the power of "Earth".

The two poles of yin and yang give birth to the three talents, the three talents are complete and become the four images, and the four images give birth to the five elements.

The mighty power of the formation formed by the eight eternal ultimate emperors has since penetrated the heavens and the earth, vaguely forming an endless cycle.

At this moment, all the Dao Lords who suppressed the earth vein nodes breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the great power of the Four Symbols deep in the earth has been guided out, and is constantly circulating in a way that they cannot see clearly, cannot understand, and cannot calculate.

They are still as majestic and terrifying as before, but no longer explode, nor are they filled with terrible destruction. Instead, they are surrounded by traces of vitality and creation.

At the same time, at the Zhoushan Ruins, in front of a giant Qilin.

Hou Tu put away a scroll of time and space with a satisfied look, and reached out to touch the big horn on Zu Qilin's head. "Hey, your attainments in formation are not bad. It seems that you have been sleeping in the soil for these years and neglected to practice."

"Not bad, not bad, worthy of praise."

Zu Qilin, who had become the eternal ultimate emperor, looked at Hou Tu with a satisfied expression, and the scales all over his body were faintly exploding. In the dark, he had a premonition of something bad, his eyes began to wander, and the idea of ​​running away suddenly came to his mind.

Zu Qilin slowly backed away, his words vague, "My Lady, Qilin has done what you asked him to do. You should let him go now, right?"

Hou Tu laughed, "Little Qilin, why are you still so naive? You want to escape after getting on the boat? Impossible."

"From now on, cooperate with me obediently and I will ensure that you will be rich and powerful in the future."

As soon as Hou Tu finished speaking, seven gazes above the years dropped, and two gazes in the depths of time and space jumped out, jointly aiming at the sturdy body of the Ancestral Qilin, like a pair of butcher knives that could be used to slaughter at any time, revealing traces of terror that penetrated deep into consciousness and true spirit.

Zu Qilin swallowed hard, his limbs trembling slightly.

In the prehistoric times, it is true that the Eternal Ultimate Emperor is very powerful.

However, the Eternal Ultimate Emperor, who can borrow the original power of the primordial world at any time, is at least one step stronger than the ordinary Eternal Ultimate Emperor.

The nine Eternal Ultimate Emperors who can borrow the original power of the primordial world at any time can definitely kill a Qilin that has just comprehended the "Eternal Ultimate Earthly Dao" and has not yet practiced all the magical powers and secret techniques instantly, without even the chance to reincarnate.

After a brief moment of thought, the khaki-colored giant Qilin gave up thinking, simply crawled to the ground and lay down.

Hou Tu nodded, "That's right, it's also very good to be a formation base."

The next moment, she took out a roulette wheel engraved with six different symbols, and her eyes became serious.

Lines of endlessly flowing power suddenly spread out from the divine body, gradually merging with the vast formation that reached the sky, evolving into strands of great fortune that were enough to astonish the world.

The Dao that Hou Tu cultivated exploded, connecting with the Great Dao of the Great Desolation. With her own true spirit, she swore an oath:

"I, Hou Tu, feel the ruthlessness of the calamity. The earth is covered with wounds, and all living beings will have no chance to come back after death."

"I wish to join the cycle of reincarnation with my body, create the underworld, and cut off a glimmer of hope for survival!"

With the echo of endless wishes, this grand oath and the "Tao" cultivated by Hou Tu were integrated into every inch of the prehistoric world, blooming with wisps of Tao rhyme that were so lofty that even the Ultimate Emperor of Eternity felt unattainable.

Suddenly, Hou Tu's figure turned into dust like weathering and completely disappeared on the vast land.

All traces of her existence on earth completely vanished.

Even the "existence" in the long river of time has become vague and hazy.

But in "Daluotian", one of the origins of the great chaos, called "The Eternal Ultimate Reincarnation Path", a figure dressed in imperial robes slowly appeared.

"He" had a solemn look on his face, and engraved on his imperial robe was the mighty heavenly way of the ancient world, as well as all the sentient beings who had died tragically in the catastrophe.

With a light touch of his hand, the "corrective" force that was impacting the Tai Chi Golden Bridge was eliminated.

With a wave of the emperor's robe, countless mountains, rivers and streams that had been destroyed by the catastrophe were all restored.

It was just like a dream. The western land regained its vitality, the southern land was covered with green plants, the eastern land was faintly visible with blue clouds, the cold and dead land in the north also showed signs of great fortune. In the center of the wilderness, a mountain named Buzhou rose up.

And the past history that has overlapped with the present was pressed by "Him" into the depths of the earth and evolved into the other side of the primitive world.

"This place is where the dead reside and where the true spirits of all living beings reincarnate."

"Name: Netherworld."
