A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 726 Almost Dragged Down

As expected, an accident still occurred.

As soon as Yayu's remains and true spirit were pulled out of the [Nine Netherworld], a dark afterimage flashed in Wu Fan's eyes, flapping its wings in front of all of Wu Fan's projected avatars.

Abruptly, the ancient incantation Wu Fan was chanting failed, and at the same time, his hand and forearm, which he was reaching for the [Nine Netherworld], were torn off, creating a hideous and terrifying gash, from which drops of the blood of creation scattered and bloomed in the void.

Wu Fan's pupils contracted slightly, and he took a step back, his figure becoming ethereal. The gourd tied to his waist made a gurgling sound, and a wisp of wine with the scent of mint and jasmine evaporated, merging into himself and instantly sealing the gash on his arm. It also spread with the power of creation, repairing the injury.

Before he could regain his senses, a shrill cry, like that of a baby crying, echoed in his ears, causing pain in his primordial spirit and numbness in his true soul. At the same time, sharp claws, filled with a stench of blood and ferocity, swept across the sky, enveloped in wisps of turbid gale, and went straight for Wu Fan's eyes.

"call!"

A giant shield appeared, carrying a heavy earth elemental suppressive force, blocking Wu Fan's path and stopping the sharp claws that were about to strike.

In the next instant, a terrifying Five Elements Dao, coiled into a ring, erupted from within the giant shield, crushing the void, destroying matter and energy, resisting the erosion of all external illusory Daos, and suppressing all strangeness and ominousness.

Only then did Wu Fan see clearly the figure floating in mid-air after a series of attacks.

He took a deep breath and murmured to himself, "On Mount Luwu, by the waters of Zegeng, there dwells a beast that calls itself Gu Diao. It resembles an eagle but has horns, and its cry is like that of an infant."

"They're cannibals!"

Wu Fan's eyes flashed with cold light, and his tone was colder than ever before, "Fellow Daoist Gu Diao, I haven't even finished dealing with Yu Yu yet, and you're already so impatient?!"

The Gu Diao let out a shrill laugh, devouring Ya Yu's remains one by one, extracting the great principles and the power of heaven and earth contained within, causing itself to emit wisps of twisted Dao intent that covered an area of ​​nearly 100,000 miles centered on Shao Xian Mountain.

His pupils held a cold indifference that regarded all living beings in the world as mere food. "Wu Fan, you've already begun to eliminate your enemies in order to perfect your own illusory Great Dao. Why can't I do the same?"

"In a certain universe, there is a saying: 'The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.' Without you expending all sorts of magical treasures to pull the dying Yayu out of the [Nine Netherworld], how could I have obtained this plump 'prey'?"

Within the Nine Netherworld, Yayu has a pseudo-otherworld figure as her backer. If she dies in this place of near-path, she will surely be brought back to life in the future.

To kill this powerful being, one must kill him to the point of near death, then take him away from the Nine Netherworld and let him perish near the Path.

However, ordinary powerful cultivators whose cultivation methods are not compatible with the Nine Netherworld will be suppressed by the will of the Nine Netherworld if they enter it, thus reducing their combat power.

Wu Fan, who possesses the resources of the Fire Emperor's lineage, is undoubtedly the key, and perhaps the only option, to free Ya Yu from the Nine Netherworld.

The Gu Diao flapped its wings once more, stirring up a terrifying gale that transformed the Shao Xian Mountain region into a colossal array, its killing intent soaring to the heavens. "Furthermore, you and I are also enemies. You have become weaker, and in turn, I have become stronger!"

"All of this is for the sake of the 'Dao'. Human Wu Fan, bury yourself here!"

Wind blades shaped like snow feathers spread wildly, forming vast universes. Bloodlust, brutality, and madness surged forth, crashing down upon Wu Fan, who was protected by the Five Elements Shield.

The world of the Realm underwent a sudden and dramatic change. Three wild and untamed Great Daos became exceptionally active, almost lining up in the sky, causing legendary beings to pale in fear.

Upon reaching the realm of Dharma Body, regardless of race, whether celestial immortal, earth immortal, or human immortal, all felt a terrifying palpitation, as if a wind blade had appeared out of thin air and was stabbing towards their heart, annihilating their true spirit and shattering their primordial soul.

This is no longer the same as when Wu Fan fought against Ya Yu.

Although Wu Fan was in the Realm of Truth at the time, he still held the initiative. Meanwhile, Ya Yu, who was beset by numerous treasures of creation, was in the Netherworld of the Nine Netherworld. The vast majority of the power exerted by all the great masters of creation erupted in the area near the Dao.

Currently, both Gu Diao and Wu Fan are in the Realm. Gu Diao is indifferent to the living beings under creation and does not care about the impact caused when it fully drives its own laws and the Great Dao.

In just a moment, the large city that was closer to Shaoxian Mountain was completely submerged by the power of the Bitter Sea carried by the illusory Great Dao, turning into ruins stained with blood, flesh and bones.

The city further away from Shaoxian Mountain, if not for the legends or even the protection of nature, would have been mostly buried. The laws governing the waters from Dunshui to Yanmen have undergone a complete transformation, becoming indescribably distorted and filled with madness, manifesting a pollution that tends towards destruction.

"boom!"

A surge of immense power from the Five Elements erupted, swirling around the thick shield and firmly protecting Wu Fan behind it from the murderous gale.

However, subtle imperfections began to appear and gradually surfaced on the runes of the thick shield, permanently eroding this unparalleled power of creation and the "multiverse" within it, and disintegrating the illusory path it carried.

Wu Fan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint sense of merging with the Real World slowly rose from within his primordial spirit. He searched for certain information in the world, and with his own exorcism methods, he manipulated various laws and principles in the world.

"Click. Click."

The heavy aura emanating from the five elements cracked, and visible cracks appeared one after another. The power protecting Wu Fan became precarious, as if it would shatter completely at any moment, allowing a murderous gale to surge in and tear everything apart.

Wu Fan naturally noticed the irreparable damage to the thick shield and its impending collapse, but he neither replaced it with the Creation Supreme Treasure nor used any more Creation Secrets.

He then extracted dozens of pieces of celestial information from the vast amount of celestial secrets, threw them into the void, where they transformed into countless streams of light, scattering into countless fragments of cosmic light, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

"boom!"

The thick shield protecting Wu Fan shattered in the next instant, but several other creation principles, also imbued with a bloody aura, appeared out of nowhere, precisely blocking the gale that was about to harm him. "Tap tap tap."

A figure with the body of a sheep, the face of a human, tiger teeth, human claws, and eyes under its armpits emerged from the void with a fierce expression, roaring loudly at the Gu Diao. When looking at it, Wu Fan revealed an undisguised covetousness.

Wu Fan paid no attention, a cold smile playing on his lips as he sighed softly, "The roe deer...eats people."

He glanced around briefly, his gaze sweeping over his surroundings, and then let out a cold chuckle.

Within the howling wind, a ferocious beast resembling an ox with four horns, human eyes, and pig ears, calling itself "Zhu Huai," slowly emerged. Another beast, resembling an ox with a white body and four horns, its mane as thick as a straw raincoat, called itself "Ao Yin," its mouth streaked with blood. A third beast, with a human face, leopard body, ox ears, one eye, and a long tail, walked with its tail between its legs, calling itself "Zhu Jian," its eyes gleaming with malevolent light.

A beast resembling a pig with a human face, a yellow body, and a red tail, treading on vast waters, its face ferocious, calling itself "Heyu," extends its long tongue to grasp human eyes. Another beast resembling a pig, with tiger claws and grayish-white fur, calling itself "Li," grins its long mouth. A third beast resembling a tiger with an ox's tail, its voice like a barking dog, its purple tongue protruding, calling itself "Dazhi," spits blood.

A strange beast, resembling a dog with a human face and a smiling expression, gnaws on an infant's skull and calls itself "Mountain Claw," emitting eerie sounds. Another strange beast, resembling a dog with tiger claws and a tortoise-shell-like body, calls itself "Earth Wolf," standing on a cloud, revealing blood-red dark eyes. A third ferocious beast, resembling a dog with blue fur, its mouth carrying a human body, swallowing it headfirst, calls itself "Goblin," and its eyes gleam with bloodlust.

A ferocious beast with a human face and a tiger's body, whose voice is like that of an infant, and who is bloodthirsty by nature, calling itself "Horse's Belly," stands in the vast void. A water beast with a fish's body, a snake's head, and six legs, whose eyes are like horse ears and whose mouth contains human bones, calling itself "Ran Yi," looks excited.

Wu Fan looked at these powerful cultivators, a hint of undisguised hatred flashing in his eyes. "One died in the mouth of Fellow Daoist Gu Diao, and there are thirteen others. They've all come. They're all fellow Daoists who like to devour my human race and who contend with me for Dao. Let's take this rare opportunity to settle things once and for all!"

He Yu swallowed the human eye into his mouth and laughed loudly, "Wu Fan, what conditions did you agree to that allowed you to gather so many fellow Daoists? It's truly remarkable!"

"Upon arriving in the Realm of Truth and setting foot on Mount Shaoxian, I find myself surrounded by enemies of the Great Dao. This may be an unprecedented struggle for the Dao, how fascinating!"

Thirteen different gazes, each carrying a different meaning, stared intently at Wu Fan, then at each other. A violent and bloodthirsty consciousness and legal principles filled this area, all driven by an incomparably naked desire to possess everything and devour flesh and blood.

Wu Fan's tone turned indifferent, with a mocking smile on his lips, "It's all the same. As long as any one of you thirteen can achieve final victory and gather all the power, you can obtain all the treasures of creation that my human race has accumulated from the first era to the present."

“I am one of only two great beings of creation among the human race. Now that the Kitchen God has no intention of governing the human race, I can represent the entire human race. You know this is true, absolutely true.”

Wu Fan's tone suddenly changed, "The illusory path we cultivate, though each has its own name, ultimately all belong to 'fortune and misfortune.' I occupy the authority of 'amulet' on the 'fortune' side, while you fellow Daoists each occupy the corresponding authority on 'misfortune.'"

"If I insist on erasing this 'blessing' authority, you are well aware of the extent to which I am capable. At the very least, before you break free from the path of symbiosis, you will have no hope of escaping the sea of ​​suffering and reaching the other shore!"

"After all, your primary goal in cannibalism is to extract the true meaning of 'blessing' that the shamans of past generations have scattered in the human body from the flesh and bones of humans."

If there is no way to gradually defeat these powerful beings who devour humans and are their own enemies, then the only option is to devise a grand scheme to achieve victory in one battle and seek survival in the face of death!

Do you want the authority of "well-being"?

Do you wish to cultivate yourself to perfection through the principles of fortune and misfortune, thereby gaining hope of escaping the sea of ​​suffering and reaching the other shore?

Do you want the accumulated resources of generations of human shamans who have mastered all "exorcism" techniques, as well as several unparalleled creations and secret treasures?
Let us fight each other to determine the final victor, forcibly combine all authority, and create a great supernatural being of perfect creation level!
At that time, you'll have everything!
The earth wolf bared its fangs, its pupils dilating and contracting. "Human shaman, Wu Fan, you're truly a madman."

"I absolutely love it!"

Without waiting any longer, the earth wolf's eyes blazed with madness, its flesh swelled up, and it swung its sharp claws directly at the mountain thief gnawing on the infant's bones beside it.

With a single move from this master of creation, the other thirteen masters of great supernatural powers within the Shaoxian Mountain region, whether they wanted to or not, were forced to unleash their own supernatural powers and engage in a life-or-death battle!
In an instant, the world changed color, and different yet equally terrifying laws and principles completely distorted all regions from Shaoxian Mountain to the Yanmen River.

Within this range, all the great cities and all living beings will turn to ashes. Even the legendary projection of the great power in the Real World will die, and the clones created by the great creator will be affected and injured.

Under some intense disturbance, the law of rebellion, and the chaotic laws of heaven and earth, existence gradually moves closer to non-existence.

At this moment, a certain illusory and strange feeling became more pronounced, causing all the onlookers, those who were indifferent and detached from the matter, to have their expressions drastically change.

All those powerful beings who had not yet reached perfection in their cultivation, and who had not yet set foot in the Nine Heavens or the Nine Netherworlds, but who possessed pseudo-otherworldly power, made their move.

Various authorities converged and pressed directly towards the projections of the Great Dao projected by the Path of Dreams, mobilizing their power across the myriad realms to further reinforce the Realm based on the "half-piece foundation of existence."
-
In the midst of chaos, there was a place that was almost a separate realm.

While preaching, Xiong Mo suddenly heard the accusation from the [Tai Chi Diagram]. His gaze shifted slightly, looking at the somewhat unstable [Real World], which seemed to be heading towards illusion. His lips twitched violently.

"No, can't you just behave yourself for a little bit?"

"I only used a small amount of sacrificial power to temporarily prop open the chaos, to gather the causal relationships existing in the future, and to perfect the 'cause of all effects.' Is the [Real World] going to suffer again?"

"This is a cataclysmic event that has been completely ignored and has been forced to be brought forward!"

Moreover, it was the humans who started this whole thing.
This subtle, agonizing feeling of being suddenly betrayed is absolutely awful!

"Fortunately, we have been planning all this time, and the 'Opening the Dao Fruit' is about to take shape. With the addition of the Pangu Banner and the Jianmu seed, we are already somewhat confident in opening the next era."

"Otherwise, we'll really be dragged down by this bunch of bastards."
