From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 488 Even Worse News: Enemies Beyond Enemies
"Hula."

The Kuroshio surged up like a tsunami, and on the crest of the wave, a slender shadow slowly raised its head.

Lord Youling's enormous, pupil-less eye gazed upwards.

There was no sky above, but a thick, oppressive shadow.

You Ming knew that this shadow was actually the mountain-suppressing force.

The mountain will remain forever, suppressing the Black Tide and preventing these desires from breaking through the blockade.

Strange light flashed in Lord Youling's giant eyes, and the black tide beneath him surged toward the high Zhenshan Mountain.

No, it wasn't a rush, but a "squeeze," as if the darkness of the entire underground was arching upwards, with the figures of billions of evil spirits forming a tidal wave, engulfing Youling Jun and rushing towards the Zhenshan Mountain above.

"boom!"

The mountain trembled and shimmered with light. In an instant, the vast mountain transformed into countless golden seals, with countless runes flowing around it, turning into a golden radiance that crashed heavily onto the black tide.

The world was instantly torn in two, one side was the radiant glow of the crimson seal, and the other was a pitch-black torrent that devoured everything.

At the moment the two forces collided, time seemed to stand still.

The light on the mountain was collapsing, and countless evil spirits were torn apart in the black tide.

The golden light and the black tide seemed distinct yet intertwined, creating an eerie and nauseating atmosphere.

The two sides seem evenly matched, just as they have clashed countless times over the years.

"Clang clang".

On the mountain, countless figures appeared, their faces obscured, enveloped in a golden light, each exuding an aura of righteousness and grandeur.

Upon seeing these figures, You Ming suddenly recalled the two golden-armored deities who had greeted him when he arrived at Zhenshan.

At the time, he felt that the strength of those two was unfathomable, but he never expected that there would be so many such powerful beings here.

Each of them wielded chains that instantly plunged into the black tide. These chains then connected with each other, forming a massive net that layered and blocked the soaring black current.

Lord Youling's pupil-less eyes remained coldly fixed on Zhenshan, and countless resentful faces appeared on his body in an instant.

A strange sound suddenly appeared, as if countless people were speaking at the same time, reciting the same syllable, but the sound formed after they came together was inexplicably high-pitched.

The sound was like venom, instantly seeping into the heavy chains.

The once golden chains suddenly lost their color, turning grayish-white and exuding a sense of decay.

Then, within that black tide, countless shadows writh, hybrids of human and beast forms, accompanied by a cacophony of sounds: laughter, crying, cursing, and fawning…

The various sounds mingled together, forming a polluting force that broke through the heavy chains and crashed heavily onto the mountain.

The entire town trembled, and outside, the entire Bingzhou felt a strong tremor. Large mountain ranges around it broke apart, and even several neighboring states felt the earth shaking.

While ordinary people were still in a state of panic, the high-ranking deities of the northern states were already looking solemnly at the location of the town.

"The Mountain Guardian King has already notified us that if any evil spirits break through the mountain's defenses, the Heavenly Punishment will be activated immediately."

The city god of Bingzhou looked down at a geomantic map in front of him. On the map, mountains and rivers were clearly marked, and cities were scattered like stars. If you looked closely, you could even see countless tiny figures, no bigger than the tip of a needle, moving around.

A geomantic map seems to encompass the entire Bingzhou region. And the most prominent Zhenshan Mountain is located precisely at the very center of Bingzhou, resembling a giant seal.

The other deities all wore grim expressions. Bingzhou was the last of the nine provinces to take shape, originally only half its current size, and the Zhenshan Mountain was located in the border region.

It was precisely in order to continuously suppress the evil spirits underground that Bingzhou continued to expand towards Yinshan and the northern border, constantly migrating its population outwards, using the power of human beings to suppress the Black Tide.

Although the King of Zhenshan had always been in dire straits, he had never left behind words that sounded like his last will and testament.

It's likely that the King of Zhenshan also realized that this time, Lord Youling was extremely difficult to deal with.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene became quiet and somewhat oppressive.

But at that moment, all the gods suddenly sensed a strange fluctuation, and one by one they couldn't help but look up at the sky.

Suddenly, a glimmer of light appeared in the sky. It was a star, but it did not appear bright. Instead, it had a dim, twilight glow.

But the moment this star appeared, gods, cultivators, mortals, and even the beasts in the mountains all felt a sense of unease, restlessness, and inexplicable anger.

"It's... Nightmare Star..."

"Didn't it completely perish with the disappearance of the Taiyuan lineage?"

As everyone watched the appearance of this star, they suddenly realized that something terrible was about to happen.

……

"The world has been at peace for too long, accumulating too much negative energy. Simply suppressing it is useless; it must be released and vented, and the resentment must be appeased through slaughter!"

"I feel that the emergence of Lord Youling this time is just missing a spark, and this Nightmare Star would be just right."

Liu Wangshu looked up at the increasingly surging black tide and Youling Jun looking up at the sky, a faint smile appearing on his face. Everything was under his control.

Kan Kun, standing to the side, felt extremely uncomfortable.

Deep down, a sense of fear inexplicably arose within him. It seemed that he had been suffering from lingering effects ever since he was inexplicably shot by You Ming with the [Ten Thousand Miles Seven Killings Hanging Arrow].

I often feel a pang of fear and unease, as if someone is watching me.

As time went on, this feeling grew stronger and stronger.

Especially when he looked at that Nightmare Star, he felt that Liu Wangshu was incredibly audacious, as if she was trying to drag him into the abyss with her.

The Nightmare Star is said to be a product of the previous era, capable of illuminating the deepest evil in the hearts of all living beings. This Black Tide was already incredibly powerful, and now, by using the Nightmare Star to incite even more evil thoughts in the world, it will naturally make the Black Tide even more unstoppable.

At this moment, although You Ming could not see the Nightmare Star, he noticed that the Black Tide was several times more ferocious than before. The mountain was teetering on the verge of collapse, and the health of the plum tree beside him was dropping at a rate several times faster than before.

"Young friend You Ming."

"It's your turn to make a move."

"Use your full strength to perform the [Transformation of Turbidity] technique."

Just as You Ming was about to replenish the health of these plum trees, a somewhat aged voice rang in his ears.
