Please be my partner.

In the process of the battle of wits and courage, the Five Friends of Qingshan, the Three Monsters of Taoyuan, the one-armed guest Han Zilu... all became the souls of the dead at the hands of Melun.

As the difficulty of hunting increased, just when Melen was thinking about whether to return to the Demonic Path area for a surprise attack, or go to the Shinto Path area to open up a new map, the storm began to sweep.

The relationship between the four forces has always been complicated, and hostility or alliance is often just a matter of thought.

Although the current situation in the Mountain and Sea Realm is that the human race has united with the Shinto to fight against the demon race and the evil spirits, normally this relationship will last for a long time until one side breaks the balance.

But everything changed when the killer appeared.

Yunfeng Mountain is a small mountain at the junction of the human and demon areas. It is not well-known, but if what happened today were to spread, Yunfeng Mountain would probably become famous.

At this moment, eight figures gathered on Yunfeng Mountain. They were the Yellow Dragon Emperor of the human race and the Immortal Sage of the Changqing Sect, the Tianyu God Emperor and the Youjie God Emperor of the Shinto sect, the Changsheng Immortal and the Huofeng Immortal of the demon race, and the Haojie Demon Lord and the Moye Demon Emperor of the demon path.

It is worth mentioning that because Melen severely injured a Demon Emperor, causing the latter to hide, a Demon Emperor had to be left in the Demonic Area to preside over the situation. Therefore, in addition to the strongest Demon Emperor, the Lord of Catastrophe, the other one who came was the Moye Demon Emperor, one of the Nine Demon Emperors.

The Demon Emperor Moye is the strongest among the Nine Demon Emperors and the most qualified to inherit the throne of the Demon Emperor.

The most powerful people in the mountain and sea world gathered here to discuss how to deal with the "hunter".

Chapter 577 The Last Vote

The Lord of Catastrophe glanced at the others and said in a deep voice, "The purpose of everyone gathering here today should be very clear, so there is no need to waste time on nonsense and let's put aside past grudges for the time being. Is there any problem with that?"

The others remained silent, agreeing with the words of the Lord of Catastrophe.

The Lord of Catastrophes nodded slightly, looked towards the human race, and asked, "Emperor Huanglong, now that the 'Hunter' is in your human territory, what are your thoughts? Tell us first."

Emperor Huanglong, dressed in a bright yellow robe, had a majestic demeanor and said in a low voice, "There are a certain number of strong men in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Even if some have been practicing in seclusion for many years, there is always a lineage to follow."

He looked around at everyone and said, "Then I'd like to ask, do you recognize this 'Hunter'?!"

The others remained silent, but their gazes were mainly fixed on the two God Emperors. After all, the three regions had been turned upside down by the 'Hunter', and only the Divine Dao region had been peaceful and tranquil.

Tianyu Divine Emperor frowned and stated bluntly, "The Hunter isn't a Shintoist. To be honest, his methods are similar to those of the Demonic Path. He might be a lunatic who has cultivated to the point of madness."

Seeing that Emperor Tianyu clarified the matter while not forgetting to step on his side, Demon Emperor Moye snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction.

In response to this, Tianyu God Emperor ignored it. In his opinion, even if Moye Demon Emperor was said to be comparable to the Demon Emperor, his status was still only the Demon Emperor, and he was not worthy of being on equal footing with him.

The Demon King Moye saw it all and hated it in his heart, but it was not a good time to show it.

Both the human and demon races felt a bit troubled when they saw this situation.

The Immortal Saint, with his sagely demeanor, tried to smooth things over by saying, "Well, didn't we agree to put aside our grudges for now? The most urgent task is to resolve the Hunter issue."

For the two powerful human beings, the problem of the "hunter" is undoubtedly more urgent. They don't know that Mellen is already considering leaving the human area.

The Lord of Catastrophe said, "The methods used by the Hunter are not from the magic path, and he is not a member of our magic path."

This statement put an end to the minor conflict that had just occurred.

Changshengxian said calmly: "He is not from my demon clan."

Changshengxian simply expressed his opinion and did not reveal Mellen's identity. This is actually easy to understand. Not only would there be no benefit in revealing their acquaintance at this time, but it would also arouse suspicion.

And there is no need to think too much about the subsequent developments. The other three parties will definitely force Changshengxian to use his relationship with Mellen to try to lure the latter into a trap.

Although Changshengxian was dissatisfied with Mellen's actions, considering Mellen's strength and speed of progress, he did not intend to break up with Mellen completely.

Emperor Huanglong said, "So, this 'Hunter' popped out of a stone?!"

"Since he's not on either side of ours, no matter what plan we make next, I hope everyone will give their all. The Mountain and Sea Realm doesn't need such an uncertain existence."

Melen sat cross-legged on a streak of blood light and moved forward quickly. He finally decided to go to the Shinto area.

This is certainly not some obsessive collecting disorder.

Compared with other forces, Shintoism naturally forms small groups due to its power system. Once someone is attacked, the news can be easily transmitted through the channel of incense and vows. Moreover, there is a "law network" in the Shinto area, and non-Shinto strongmen can be easily locked by it. This is also the main reason why Melen has never chosen the Shinto area.

However, the situation has changed. After Melen's continuous hunting, other areas have been in a state of panic and there are no opportunities to attack. On the contrary, he still has a perfect opportunity to attack on the Shinto side.

Don't forget that in order to study the way of soul, Nasus specially studied the Shinto system. Although his final achievement stopped at the Saint stage, it was enough as a disguise.

As long as he goes to the Shinto area with this Shinto identity, it will naturally be a separation from the identity he showed before and will not arouse too much suspicion.

After completing this final deal, the identity of "Hunter" can be temporarily retired.

In the Shinto area, the gods who practice Shinto are the main deities. The humans and demons living here are the lambs whose faith is constantly being harvested. Sometimes, in order to inspire more and purer faith, the gods will instigate believers to start wars.

In the cruel war and the hatred of destroying families and countries, believers will naturally become more devout.

There are strong people from other systems in the Shinto area, but they are all suppressed by Shinto and can only choose to join, obey, and become guardian gods.

If ordinary humans or demons were born in the kingdom of a few powerful gods, they could still enjoy the illusory peace and prosperity. However, if they were born in the kingdom of a weak god, they would most likely be exploited and oppressed to the point of physical death and the extinction of their souls.

This is the cruelty of the Shinto system, where the majority of people support the minority, and there are layers of barriers between them, making it extremely difficult for the lower class to move up.

This is the result of Shinto's several reforms. The original Shinto system was even more cruel, and almost all the middle and lower classes were just slaves of the few people at the top.

While recalling the news about Shinto, Melen wandered around casually, choosing his target.

He looked up at the sky and could vaguely see crisscrossing golden grids in the sky, which enveloped the entire Shinto area like a huge cover. This was the famous Shinto Law Network, which was originally created by a certain generation of God Emperors in order to better collect faith. Later, it was improved by successive God Emperors and achieved its current scale and power.

Retracting his gaze, Melen shook his head with a sigh. He felt that if he stared at the Shinto Law Net for a while longer, his disguise might be exposed. It was conceivable how desperate the ordinary people living in the Shinto area would be.

A few days later, Melen compiled the information he had collected and finally fixed his eyes on one of them...

The Four Heavenly Spirits are not a single god, but a pantheon composed of four gods. They claim to control the rotation of the four seasons and possess the great power to change the world.

Such self-boasting statements are just for listening. They are used to deceive believers and are basically one of the common methods used by gods.

There was no "just" reason for choosing the Four Celestial Spirits, it was simply because they were suitable. Although they were indeed not good people in Mellen's moral standards, Mellen would not whitewash his behavior for this reason.

He came to the Mountain and Sea Realm this time to start a war on earth.

After a brief observation and confirming that the Four Heavenly Spirits were all there, Mellen went straight to the door.

Outside the huge temple, there were soldiers everywhere and the defense was tight. These were all devout believers of the Four Heavenly Spirits. When they saw Mellen, a small group of them immediately came forward to question him.

Melen raised his head slightly and said, "I am a wandering Shinto practitioner who wishes to join the Four Spirits Heavenly Lords. I hope you will inform me."

As he spoke, Melen channeled the power of Nasus and unfolded the volume of the List of Gods that he had created. The aura of a saint was revealed, and the appearance alone was already very intimidating.

Upon hearing this, the guards did not dare to be negligent. After politely bowing, one of them quickly headed into the temple.

Melen was also invited to a small side hall outside the temple and was served with fine tea and fruit.

After waiting for half an hour, a man dressed as a priest came forward and said, "Tianzun Xiong wants to see you."

Following the priest into the temple, Melen felt more and more depressed as he continued to move forward. He knew that he had entered a territory similar to that of a saint, a divine realm unique to the Shinto system.

Soon, Melen saw the Bear God, a giant bear that was five meters tall and exuded a heavy divine majesty. According to the classification of the Four Spirit Gods, the Bear God was in charge of autumn and had the power to make all things wither.

The other three Heavenly Lords are the Turtle Heavenly Lord, who is in charge of spring and has the power to revive all things; the Crow Heavenly Lord, who is in charge of summer and has the power to burn the heaven and earth; and the Tiger Heavenly Lord, who is in charge of winter and is the most lethal.

Xiong Tianzun glanced at Mellen calmly and said casually, "Are you the wandering walker? Sign the soul contract, and from now on you will have a place in the Kingdom of Four Seasons."

As he spoke, a golden soul contract appeared in front of Mellen. Mellen's brows jumped after just reading the first few. This was not recruiting subordinates, this was clearly collecting slaves!

Once you sign this soul contract, you will basically never be able to escape the control of the Four Spirits Heavenly Lord for the rest of your life.

Even this Xiong Tianzun never asked Mellen's name from beginning to end. Perhaps in his eyes, these were meaningless.

Seeing Mellen's expression, Xiong Tianzun's eyes flashed with a hint of teasing, and a sinister grin appeared at the corner of his mouth. He said, "Why, are you dissatisfied with this soul contract?!"

Mellen waved his hand and smiled, "I'm not dissatisfied, I'm just a little surprised."

Just as Xiong Tianzun's expression relaxed a little, Mellen continued, "Anyway, I never thought about signing any contract."

"Boom!~"

As Melen finished speaking, a torrent of blood rushed out, submerging the entire hall.

Xiong Tianzun let out a short cry of surprise: "You are... a hunter...?!" and was then swallowed up by the sea of blood.

"Be bold!"

"stop!!"

"Damn it! Who dares to attack me, the Four Spirits Heavenly Lord!!"

Three rays of light arrived nearby almost at the same time, and they were the other three of the Four Heavenly Spirits.

But it was too late. When they arrived, they only saw a handsome and weird young man standing on the corpse of Xiong Tianzun in a hazy sea of blood, collecting the origin of the mountain and sea world that was extracted from the latter's body.

Just by seeing this scene, the identity of the attacker was already clear.

The hearts of the Three Great Lords sank at the same time. A man's reputation was like the shadow of a tree. The 'Hunter' was stirring up trouble in the world of mountains and seas. So far, he had hunted down nearly forty semi-immortal warriors, and the forces from all sides were unable to do anything to him. Anyone who saw this would be terrified.

What's more, this temple itself is the 'Four Spirits Heaven' built by the Four Spirits Heavenly Lords. When in it, the Four Spirits Heavenly Lords can exert several times their own strength when they join forces. But now that Xiong Tianzun has been killed, the four spirits are not together, and the power of the 'Four Spirits Heaven' has been directly halved.

In this situation, with my spirit and courage completely lost, how could I possibly be a match for the Hunter?!

For the Three Heavenly Lords, all these thoughts happened in a flash. Without any hesitation, they turned around and ran in tacit understanding.

After all, they had already passed on the news of the appearance of the "hunter" at the first time. As long as they delayed for a moment, there would be a steady stream of strong people coming to encircle and suppress them, and they would not need to fight to the death.

Mellen smiled slightly, and without him saying anything, the sea of blood split into two, directly blocking Turtle Tianzun and Crow Tianzun. Spike flashed and attacked Tiger Tianzun.

The three Heavenly Masters were forced to face the enemy, and all of them unleashed their strongest power in order to break free as quickly as possible.

Tiger Tianzun possesses a trace of white tiger blood, and his killing power is filled with wisps of Gengjin energy, which is extremely sharp.

But Spike was not afraid at all. His unpredictable body allowed him to ignore most attacks. Even if an attack occasionally fell on him, particles would actively wrap up the attack and then break away on its own.

At the beginning of the battle, Spike had the absolute upper hand. After a while, his immortal fighting spirit completely suppressed Tiger Tianzun.

Tiger Tianzun knew that there was no hope of escape, and the ferocity in his heart was completely aroused. The power of murder surged, and the energy of Gengjin gradually grew stronger, even resonating with the immortal fighting spirit released by Spike. There was a sign that he was about to break through himself in the battle.

Spike's eyes suddenly lit up, but then dimmed again. If time permitted, he wouldn't mind waiting a little longer to see if Tiger Tianzun could really break through himself. Unfortunately, their goal was a quick victory.

and so……

The long river of fighting spirit surged back, Spike's aura rose steadily, and the golden light in his eyes condensed into substance, turning into strands of flowing color.

With an outburst, he defeated Tiger Tianzun with one blow.

Tiger Tianzun's body froze, and his eyes gradually regained clarity. There was no madness or anger in them anymore, only a hint of regret. It was a regret that he had grasped the key opportunity but failed to achieve a breakthrough.

Spike looked at Tiger Tianzun deeply, then ran to another battlefield.

Turtle Tianzun and Crow Tianzun originally fled in different directions, but when they encountered the sea of blood and found that they could not break through, they immediately gathered together to fight the enemy.

The water is rippling and the sea of fire is burning.

Obviously, these two forces are diametrically opposed to each other, but with the exquisite control and tacit cooperation of Turtle Tianzun and Crow Tianzun, the effect of one plus one is greater than two is directly achieved.

Unfortunately, even if the sea of blood is washed and burned, it still flows endlessly.

In terms of size, Xiao Honglian is not inferior to others.

When Turtle Tianzun and Crow Tianzun saw Tiger Tianzun being beheaded, they were terrified and began to beg for mercy. They said that they would be willing to work like slaves as long as Melen could spare their lives.

Mellen's eyes were indifferent and unmoved.

With Spike joining the battle, the situation immediately tilted and was quickly settled.

After putting the extracted origin of the mountain and sea world into his pocket, Melen looked up at the sky and could already feel the strong malice from the Senluo Law Net.

Even because of the blockade of the French Open, Melen could not teleport back to Jinding Mountain directly and had to leave the coverage of the French Open.

Mellen let out a light sigh and disappeared in a flash.

Chapter 578 Confrontation

During the escape, Melen could clearly sense the increasingly strong murderous aura and malice coming from between heaven and earth, as well as the spying from far and near.

Melen had a vague bad premonition in his heart, and the source of this bad premonition was this world itself.

As this realization emerged, Melen stopped, sighed, and muttered to himself, "Is this the consequence of being an enemy of the world? We really can't underestimate ourselves at any time."

As Mellen finished speaking, the space around him rippled, and four or five powerful men appeared in each place, adding up to a total of nineteen. Not only were they all semi-immortals, but the leaders were the Yellow Dragon Emperor and the Eternal Saint of the human race, the Tianyu God Emperor and the Youjie God Emperor of the Shinto, the Changsheng Immortal and the Fire Phoenix Immortal of the demon race, and the Haojie Demon Lord and the Moye Demon Emperor of the demon path. These eight were the most powerful men in the world.

Melen glanced at the newcomers one by one, and when his eyes passed Changshengxian and Huofengxian, he did not show any strange expression. The same was true for the latter two, as if they did not know each other.

To be honest, not many people know about the relationship between them. The first few times that Melen communicated with Changshengxian and Huofengxian were all outside the Mountain and Sea Realm, and they were all extremely secretive, with basically only the three of them present.

The only possible flaw is the transaction during the trial at Jinding Mountain. However, because Changshengxian has not yet exposed the Ten Thousand Demons Order, this matter is little known.

Tianyu Divine Emperor said indifferently, "I have clearly used the Divine Dao Net to conceal the aura of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Formation. How did you discover it?"

Mellen looked in the direction he had just headed. Although there was nothing there, a sense of warning suddenly arose in his heart for no reason. That was why he stopped running away.

Melen retracted his gaze and smiled, "My perception is more acute."
