Gaze and you will become stronger: starting from Doupo

"What happened? How come everything went wrong all of a sudden?"

"What's going on! Is the end of the world coming?!"

"Such a strange phenomenon has never been recorded even in ancient books!"

"Oh my god, is there some kind of inestimable treasure that is about to fall from the sky?"

"This is a vision that has swept across the entire region!"

……

The sky changed strangely, and everyone in the wilderness, whether they were cultivators or ordinary people, looked up at the sky with fear on their faces, their eyes full of anxiety and confusion.

Inside the Palace of the Stone Nation, the Human Emperor, the You King, and the Venerable Qianxi looked pale and terrified at the sky, their voices trembling, “Senior, you are finally here! Look up at the sky, the catastrophe is coming!”

Jiang Han sat upright in a chair, sipping tea leisurely, glancing at the sky calmly, his expression calm and composed: "Don't panic."

The three of them smiled bitterly at each other. The record of the catastrophe in the family tree was terrifying - no one above the Venerable was spared! Even though they knew that Jiang Han was powerful, they were still filled with fear when facing the unknown catastrophe.

"Human Emperor, open the ancestral altar and see what other places in the domain are like!" Venerable Qianxi suggested.

In the Eight Regions, ancient and mysterious altars are scattered everywhere. After being activated by energy, these altars cannot be used as a teleportation array, but they can transmit images like surveillance. Due to the huge consumption, they are rarely used on weekdays, but because of the impending catastrophe, they were activated by various forces half a month ago.

The Emperor activated the altar, and in an instant, a densely packed palm-sized picture appeared above the altar. Suddenly, a picture zoomed in sharply - the sky there was shattered like glass, and a huge claw broke out of the ground, shrouded in chaotic mist, and scattered the rolling dark clouds. The giant claw was thick and simple, with mud crusts attached between the claws, showing the vicissitudes of time.

"Master, those are the mountains outside the village! I hope the village chief and the others are okay?" The little guy pointed at the screen and shouted anxiously.

Jiang Han smiled and pinched the little one's face: "Don't worry, with God Liu here, nothing will go wrong."

"Senior, what is buried underground? It must be far beyond the realm of the Venerable!" The Human Emperor and the Ghost King stared at the screen with astonishment. As the giant claws swung, the surrounding mountains trembled, the earth cracked, smoke and dust rose to the sky, birds and beasts, and even ants and insects were trembling, and an oppressive atmosphere filled the vast mountains and forests.

"It's just an old turtle, but on its back is the Supreme Divine Treasure." Jiang Han put down the teacup, his tone vague, "Every time there is a catastrophe, there will be giants from the upper realm looking for it, but due to its own strength, these giants from the upper realm will return empty-handed even if they find it."

As soon as the words fell, ripples appeared in the sky above the giant claw, and a foot that covered the sky and the sun stretched out, nine-colored lightning roared, chaotic mist lingered, and the divine power was unparalleled.

"Look, a giant is coming down! He is heading for the Supreme God's Treasure!" The Human Emperor and King You exclaimed.

In the picture, the blue-grey giant claws and paws collided with each other, and the area exploded instantly, and the vibrant mountains turned into ruins. In the distance, a branch danced, flashing strange runes. Under its protection, a village was safe and sound, without being affected by the aftermath.

Boom!

The screen above the altar trembled at the same time. A huge crack in the sky spread, and countless portals began to take shape. However, just as the portals were about to take shape, strange waves spread, and the portals suddenly exploded, as gorgeous as fireworks, but vaguely accompanied by blood rain and scales of annihilation.

"Huh? Have all these giants failed? Can't they come down?"

"That bloody rain, could it be that the giants from the upper realm have fallen?"

"So, they are going to retreat!"

The Human Emperor and others were secretly delighted.

"The eight realms of the lower realm are also restricted by the avenues. Although these giants have strong cultivation bases, they cannot come down easily. But since they are well prepared, they will definitely come down in person this time regardless of the consequences." Jiang Han's words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing everyone's fantasy.

Sure enough, the broken portal began to heal, and the light became more brilliant. Finally, a portal took shape first, the sky collapsed, and a creature wearing a Taoist robe and shining with light walked out, and his huge figure illuminated the nine heavens and ten earths. Because his light was too dazzling, his true appearance could not be seen clearly, and he could only be identified as a Taoist, with a breath like a tsunami and a galaxy, sweeping between heaven and earth.

"Senior, he has descended on our desolate land!" The Human Emperor pointed at the sky in horror, and looked at Jiang Han with fear in his eyes.

Venerable Qianxi and King You's expressions suddenly changed. This Taoist was so huge that everyone in the wilderness could see him with just a glance.

"Master, someone else is coming down!" exclaimed the little one.

The second portal took shape, lightning flashed, the sky shattered, and a golden figure walked out. It was an old woman, wearing a golden robe and a crown on her head. Her eyes flashed like the sun when she opened and closed, and her body was surrounded by chaotic mist, with a terrifying aura.

"Is this the giant from the upper realm? It's so terrifying!" The Human Emperor and others looked at the Taoist and the old woman and couldn't help swallowing their saliva. In front of them, their strength was not worth mentioning.

In shock, everyone looked at Jiang Han with a little more suspicion - is there really any way to deal with such a terrifying existence?
"This time, there are quite a few living creatures that can be used as medicine. It's really worth the trip." The old woman's hoarse voice echoed in the wilderness.

"We don't have enough slaves, it's time to replenish them." After the Taoist said this, his body gradually became smaller and disappeared into the sky.

The old woman looked down and saw a burst of light covering the entire wasteland. She seemed to have found her prey, smiled with satisfaction, and disappeared.

Above the ancient altar, the image showing the Taoist and the old woman zoomed in dramatically. Even after returning to their normal size, the pressure from the two of them was still as great as that of the Supreme God, shocking the heavens and the earth.

"For their cultivation, these two guys have already reached the end of their lives, so they came here immediately to look for medicinal materials that can be used to refine medicine." Jiang Han took a sip of tea and explained, "They are looking for ancient relics. These relics are all powerful in the upper realms, and they are difficult for them to pick. However, in these eight realms, these relics have no time to truly grow, so it is easier to pick them."

"Damn it!" Everyone was filled with resentment. In the eyes of these giants, they were just medicinal materials for refining medicine.

"It's started, they've started!" The Human Emperor's voice trembled. In the picture, in the direction of the Nether South Mountain, after the old woman appeared, mountain torrents broke out, magma surged, and the earth collapsed. She carried a medicine basket, and wherever she passed, one after another, powerful creatures were caught in the basket. The Demon Spirit Venerable, the Wasabi Venerable, the Sky Spider Venerable... shrill screams were heard, and even if the Venerable resisted with all his strength, it was like an ant trying to shake a tree in front of the old woman.

In another scene, the dragon roared, green light flashed all over its body, and it wanted to fly into the sky, but was easily caught by the Taoist's two fingers. "You are lucky, it is actually a branch of the real dragon. Its blood is extraordinary. If it were in the upper realm, it would be difficult to kill it casually, and it would easily be hated by the Dragon Valley. Bring it back and feed it for a period of time. When the dragon blood returns to one, it will be a great tonic." The Taoist grinned and put the dragon into the treasure gourd.

Afterwards, the Taoist came to the giant mountain and pointed his finger. The ten-thousand-foot-tall silver snake in the belly of the mountain begged for mercy in fear, but was still grabbed by a palm and thrown into the gourd. The blue-eyed golden-eyed beast in the deep pool sensed the danger and tried to escape to the center of the earth, but was also easily swept away by the Taoist.

In just half a minute, the old woman and the Taoist swept across one-third of the wasteland, and countless sleeping and hidden venerables were taken away. It was not that the venerables were too weak, but that the giants in the upper realm were too terrifying. In front of them, the venerables were like ants.

The Emperor and the others were more and more frightened as they watched, and felt a chill piercing through their bones. However, Jiang Han remained calm as before, as if everything was under his control...

Deep inside the Fire Nation's palace, the densely packed images on the ancient altar flickered, reflecting the terrified faces of the three venerables. In the images, the old woman and the Taoist were like walking death gods, and wherever they passed, the venerables fell one after another.

"Fire Emperor, these two monsters are coming towards us!"

"What should we do now!"

"Wherever they passed, no matter if they were human or ancient creatures, all the venerables spared them!"

The three of them trembled in their voices, and they all turned their eyes to the Fire Emperor. The Fire Emperor looked solemn, staring at the terrifying figure gradually approaching in the picture, and took a deep breath: "Let's go to the Stone Country! More than half a month ago in the Baiduan Mountains, didn't that mysterious person say that if we seek his protection when the catastrophe comes, he can keep us safe!"

"Can he really stop these two giants from the upper realm?"

"At this point, we have no choice but to give it a try! We can't stop them with our own strength anyway!"

Before he finished speaking, the Fire Emperor and the three venerables tore through the void at the same time and rushed towards the direction of the Stone Kingdom. Their figures left distorted afterimages in the void, showing their anxiety.

At the same time, the wilderness was shaken everywhere. Beiming Mountain cracked open, and the Feiyi Venerable rushed out with a strange roar, his red body tearing through the void; in the Immortal Valley, the Sky-Splitting Demon Butterfly looked at the altar scene with fear, flapped its wings, and turned into a stream of light and flew away; the roar of the nine-headed lion resounded through the sky, and a golden figure stepped into the air and left... 80% of the Venerables in the wilderness made the decision almost at the same time, and they all flew towards the Stone Kingdom. For a moment, the sky and the earth were shining with rainbow light, and all the beasts roared.

"Huh? These ants are actually heading towards the same place." After the old woman and the Taoist each captured a Venerable, they noticed something unusual and looked confused.

"But it's better this way. We can just catch them all at once and save some trouble." The two men grinned grimly and continued to capture the Venerables who had not yet escaped as if they were harvesting crops. Wherever they went, there was wailing everywhere.

----

The atmosphere in the Imperial Capital of the Stone Nation was extremely tense. Following a roar, the four ancient species, the Vermillion Bird, the Qiongqi, the Zhuyan, and the Sky-Swallowing Bird, arrived first. Surprisingly, the Qiongqi, the Zhuyan, and the Sky-Swallowing Bird, who were once full of fear of Jiang Han, approached him on their own initiative, their eyes full of help.

"Senior, the catastrophe is coming! Those guys are too scary. I am no match for them, so I have no choice but to come to you for help." Zhuque landed on Xiaobudian's shoulder, his voice trembling obviously.

Soon after, the Fire Emperor and his people, the Feiyi Venerable, the Nine-Headed Lion, the Sky-Splitting Demon Butterfly and other Venerables arrived one after another. They looked disheveled and their auras were disordered, but they immediately bowed to Jiang Han and said, "The catastrophe is coming, I still hope for your protection, Senior!"

Jiang Han put down the teacup, looking calm: "Don't be afraid, I said that as long as you come, everything will be safe." After that, he waved his sleeves, and suddenly, strange phenomena appeared in the sky.

Unlike the scene on the ancient altar, the vision Jiang Han cast covered the entire wilderness and could be seen clearly by everyone. In the vision, four shocking scenes were presented: the first one was a fierce battle between a giant from the upper realm and a giant turtle carrying the supreme treasure, and every collision made the earth tremble; the second and third scenes were the scenes of an old woman and a Taoist cruelly harvesting the venerables, with blood staining the sky red; the fourth scene was a scene in the Stone Kingdom Palace, where a group of venerables gathered around Jiang Han.

"Senior, what are you doing..." The venerables looked at the sky in astonishment, shocked at Jiang Han's omnipotent means, and filled with confusion.

"I have my own intentions." Jiang Han responded calmly, with a barely perceptible light flashing in his eyes. In fact, his move was not only to protect everyone, but also to take this opportunity to let the entire wilderness witness his strength and accumulate reputation points.

Just as he expected, the whole wilderness was in an uproar as the strange phenomenon appeared. The monks looked up at the sky, with shock, fear, doubt and other emotions intertwined.

"Look up at the sky! That turtle is so big!"

"What is it carrying on its back? And who is the person fighting it? It's so scary!"

"Eh? Aren't those two the immortals who walked out of that door earlier? What are they doing?!"

"Oh my god, that's Venerable Guyou! They are actually killing the Venerable! They are slaughterers, not immortals at all!"

"That's the Stone Kingdom Palace! The Stone Emperor, the Fire Emperor, the Ghost King, the Demon Butterfly Venerable... How come they are all gathered together!"

"I remember that when they were in the Baiduan Mountains, they talked about a great catastrophe specifically targeting the Venerable. They went to seek the protection of that mysterious person! Could it be that today is the day of the great catastrophe?"

Discussions arose one after another, and the entire wilderness fell into unprecedented chaos and panic.

Rumbling--

The sky shook again, and several portals took shape. Inside the Stone Kingdom Palace, all the venerables felt their hearts tighten, and all their eyes turned to the sky.

The figure that walked out first was mysterious and hazy, surrounded by countless balls of light. In each ball of light, there seemed to be a god being worshipped. The vast and distant mysteries of the great way and the sounds of sacrifice filled the heaven and earth. Then, a figure with sword energy appeared, and chaotic energy surged. The murderous intent like the creation of the world rushed straight to the outside world. A figure holding a halberd followed closely behind, and the murderous energy swept across the heaven and earth, and the halberd's light cut through the sky.

At this moment, the fourth figure walked out, and the bone tower above the little guy's head suddenly vibrated violently: "It appeared, it appeared!" The figure was holding a broken tower in his hand, which perfectly matched the appearance of the bone tower.

"Don't worry, I will keep my word." Jiang Han looked at the Bone Tower with a confident smile on his face. The Bone Tower was very excited, then it restrained its breath and secretly gathered its strength, preparing to surprise the Remaining Tower.

In just one minute, ten figures stood between heaven and earth. These giants in the upper realm glanced at the vision Jiang Han had created, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes, but they did not take it to heart. Their purpose for this trip was clear. Although they were not like the old woman and the Taoist priest who were harvesting the venerables, they were also looking for the treasures left in the lower realm. A greater crisis was quietly approaching... (End of this chapter)
