The Ten Nations.
The Heavenly Fiend Ancient Diagram covered the sky and engulfed the Ten Nations, causing it to be shrouded in a layer of gloomy fog that made both cultivators and ordinary beings feel a sense of oppression and fear.
Boom!
There were explosions coming from the ancient diagram.
It was the Ten Thousand Fiend Banner.
In an instant, infinite resentment spread from it and sealed the entire array formation of the Ten Nations, causing it to break down. As a result, it was impossible for anyone to escape or enter via teleportation.
Many cultivators saw a gray stream of air appearing in the void and rolling towards them. It was the resentment of ten thousand fiends.
“What’s this?!”
“What a rich resentful aura of the fiends!”
“Go, hurry up and escape!”
When they saw the Ten Thousand Fiend Resentment, everyone shuddered and immediately exclaimed.
The resentment was surging towards them and some people slowed down in a bid to cast their Dharmic Dao to resist it.
However, their resistance had no effect on the Ten Thousand Fiend Resentment which surged into their bodies and made them decline at a speed that was visible to the naked eye before turning into bones.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The Heavenly Fiend Ancient Diagram and the Ten Thousand Fiend Banner in the sky were constantly being activated and the Ten Thousand Fiends descended. The endless resentment made countless powerhouses flee rapidly.
The commoners in the various ancient cities had yet to react to the sudden change, but even if they could react in time, they probably wouldn’t be able to flee immediately.
Numerous lives were devoured by the Ten Thousand Fiend Resentment.
“Don’t kill me!”
“Help! Someone help me!”
The sounds of shrieks and wailing filled the air.
Countless people were horrified and fell into a state of despair when they saw the Ten Thousand Fiend Resentment. However, in the end, they had no choice but to turn into a pile of skeletons and ashes that scattered with the wind.
The originally prosperous ancient cities turned into dead cities that seemed like hell on earth.
Qingzhou, Jin Nation.
In the Qingyun Dao Sect, when Gu Jianxian, Da Xu, Wang Zhuoyu, and the others saw the scene in the sky, their faces all turned sullen.
“What’s going on?”
Da Xu looked at the terrifying demonic aura and resentment, which made him subconsciously shriek in horror.
Even though he was a Ghost King, he couldn’t help but be shocked by the scene in front of him.
“This seems to be an array formation that has wiped out everything!”
Wang Zhuoyu said.
He was a practitioner of array formations in the first place. Besides, he had obtained the supreme array formation Dao inheritance. Hence, he could immediately tell that someone had used the entire Ten Nations to set up an array formation.
That was terrifying.
“Heavenly Fiend Ancient Diagram, Ten Thousand Fiend Banner, it’s the Fiendcelestial Cult!”
“There’s a Fiendcelestial Cult powerhouse who wants to annihilate all living beings in the Ten Nations and turn this place into the region of ten thousand fiends!”
Sword Qi surrounded Gu Jianxian, whose face was sullen, and dispelled the Ten Thousand Fiend Resentment.
Gu Jianxian immediately turned into a ray of sword light and darted towards the Heavenly Fiend Ancient Diagram in the sky.
Demonic aura spread everywhere in the Heavenly Fiend Ancient Diagram.
Holding the Ten Thousand Fiend Banner in hand, Xia Qian watched everything calmly.
The Ten Nations was affiliated to the Great Xia Dynasty, but Xia Qian didn’t feel much when watching his people die in front of him. Instead, he was admiring the scene.
In his opinion, their deaths were worthwhile and they should be honored to have been killed by him and given the chance to turn into nutrients and the resentment of heaven and earth.
“What an amazing feeling.”
“It feels like I’m improving all the time. Once I annihilate all the living beings of the Great Xia Dynasty, I will be revived completely.”
Experiencing the enhanced power of his body, Xia Qian felt wonderful.
At this moment, Xia Qian frowned slightly because he detected a terrifying sword intent.
His eyes were glistening and he immediately saw a figure charging towards the Heavenly Fiend Ancient Diagram.
“Gu Jianxian.”
Xia Qian recognized the figure to be Gu Jianxian, the disciple of his arch-enemy, Su Changyu.
At the same time, he had refined Daoist Xu Xuan whose memories had influenced him a little. Hence, he felt a sense of resentment towards Gu Jianxian.
That made Xia Qian’s calm expression turn cold with some murderous intent in his eyes.
“Slay Gu Jianxian.”
Xia Qian ordered coldly.
“Yes!”
The four figures answered in unison.
All four of them had very powerful auras and were all Mahayana realm powerhouses.
They were the masters of the Fiendcelestial Cult, the Heavenly Fiend Cult, the Ancient Fiend Cult, and the True Fiend Cult. At this moment, they were all succumbing to Xia Qian.
The four walked out of the Heavenly Fiend Ancient Diagram and blocked Gu Jianxian who was in the void.
Apart from the Heavenly Fiend Ancient Diagram and the Ten Thousand Fiend Banner, there was also an All-Immortal Devourer.
Xia Qian allowed the All-Immortal Devourer to exert its full power and split it into four. He gave each piece to each of the four and the power it contained was really terrifying.
“You guys want to stop me too, huh?”
Gu Jianxian said.
He was confident and fearless in the face of the four of them who were at the Mahayana realm.
“No, we’re not here to stop you.”
“We’re here to slay you!”
“Gu Jianxian, I admit that you’re very powerful now, but the All-Immortal Devourer has already been revived and we will be in charge of it. Let’s see how you can resist it!”
The four of them were standing at different spots, each holding a sword-like treasure on which there were ancient runes that were filled with harsh rays of light that were hair-raising.
After saying that, the four of them attacked and tried to slash Gu Jianxian with the All-Immortal Devourer.
The four Dharma treasures fused into one in the air, turning into a cross-shaped treasure that was painted with dark red and black.
That strike was so terrifying that it made the universe roar and the heaven and earth change in color while the stars vibrated.
It was the true All-Immortal Devourer.
It had already reached the level of an immortal artifact and was controlled by four Mahayana realm powerhouses. It was so terrifying that it could devour immortals.
“Since that’s the case, let’s see if your All-Immortal Devourer is more powerful than my Supreme Sword Dao!”
Gu Jianxian said while looking at the All-Immortal Devourer.
A wooden sword appeared in his hand and slashed towards the All-Immortal Devourer.
Boom!
The void collapsed.
The battle was extremely terrifying and both parties were the top existences of the world, thus they managed to blast the mountains and make the void collapse.
The four masters of the cults were fearless, seemingly not worried of harming the innocent.
In this situation, Gu Jianxian did not care about anything else and simply weaved out of the four people in front of him. He knew that the four cult leaders had gone all out.
If they couldn’t break the Heavenly Fiend Ancient Diagram, the living beings in the Ten Nations or even the entire cultivation world would die.
There were many people who saw the battle in the sky.
They were astonished to see Gu Jianxian and the four cult leaders in the sky.
It was too terrifying.
A battle broke out between both parties, and the All-Immortal Devourer rotated rapidly like a large mill of heaven and earth, blocking the heaven and earth in all directions. The sky shattered and quickly suppressed Gu Jianxian.
Gu Jianxian was just as terrifying. Like a divine sword, he charged through the sky and each move of his dragged along the sun, the sky, the stars, the mountains, rivers, and grass. Everything turned into a sword that could slash Tribulation Transcendence realm powerhouses.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Boom!
In the sky, Gu Jianxian and the four powerhouses of the cult couldn’t be separated at all. The sky and space were about to shatter, and everything turned into ashes.
At the same time…
The Heavenly Supervisory summoned the five dynasties, the immortal sects, and the Itinerant Cultivators Alliance to come to the Ten Nations and break the Heavenly Fiend Ancient Diagram.
However, the four dynasties and the immortal sects were restrained by the Fiendcelestial Cult, the Heavenly Fiend Cult, the Ancient Fiend Cult, and the True Fiend Cult, causing them to be too scared to appear. They had no choice but to leave behind most of their manpower to guard the place.
Everyone understood that it was Xia Qian’s scheme. While he was in the Ten Nations of the Great Xia Dynasty, he used the Heavenly Fiend Ancient Diagram and the Ten Thousand Fiend Banner to attract attention.
If the powerhouses of the four major dynasties and immortal sects dared to leave, the devotees of the four major cults would wreak havoc in the other major dynasties.
At this moment, the living beings of the world were all Xia Qian’s nutrients.
No matter where the chaos was, it would all be beneficial to him.
Faced with this situation, the five major dynasties and immortal sects had no choice but to make some of their manpower to meet with the people of the Heavenly Supervisory and head to the Ten Nations of the Great Xia Dynasty.
At the rear cliff of the Qingyun Dao Sect, Wang Zhuoyu took a deep breath.
He took out a black cloth and used it as a blindfold before holding the Starry Chessboard to begin setting up the array formation.
The Ten Thousand Fiend Banner was torturing them vigorously while Gu Jianxian fought against the four powerhouses of the cults. It could be said that the living beings were all dying. In such a situation, he really wanted to contribute.
Blindfolding himself was part of the Supreme Array Formation Dao that he had obtained in the Linglong game of chess.
The size of his array formation would be as great as his willpower.
Otherwise, with his current abilities, he wouldn’t be able to do anything regardless of what array formations he set up.
“Linglong Starry Array Formation!”
The chessboard in Wang Zhuoyu’s hand ascended to the sky and linked the stars, causing changes in the heaven and earth.
The array formation protected the Qingyun Dao Sect before expanding rapidly across thousands of kilometers.
5,000 kilometers was his limit.
As a Qi Refinement cultivator, having his array formation reach 5,000 kilometers was indeed something to be proud of.
He inhaled sharply.
Da Xu, Xue Zhuan, and Lin Bei were dumbfounded.
‘Why has Wang Zhuoyu improved drastically just a few days after we last met?’
Xue Zhuan saw Wang Zhuoyu blindfolding himself and he couldn’t help but wonder, ‘Isn’t this what I saw in the Well of This Life previously?’
He looked at Lin Bei and said, “Lin Bei, do you still remember the scene we once saw in the Well of This Life?”
“I do, I saw you turning into a talisman.”
Lin Bei said.
After he finished speaking, he couldn’t help but glance at the blindfolded Wang Zhuoyu with a look of surprise.
“Senior Brother, are you… going to turn into a talisman?”
Lin Bei asked.
“Yes, at this point, it’s time to show you what I can do.”
The Golden Dragon Spirit-Containing Talisman Brush appeared in Xue Zhuan’s hand.
It contained a fragment of the Golden Dragon’s Soul which could allow one to draw talismans in the air.
At the same time, the talisman brush also had another function.
It could guide the Golden Dragon into one’s body and make it a talisman.
However, that function could only be used once. When the Golden Dragon’s soul dissipated, the talisman brush would turn into an ordinary Dharma treasure.
Xue Zhuan did not hesitate and shouted.
“Third Senior Brother, let me help you.”
Xue Zhuan’s brush rushed into the sky and the soul of the Golden Dragon appeared. It then dashed into his body.
In an instant, Xue Zhuan turned into a talisman, which was then affixed to Wang Zhuoyu’s body.
In an instant, Wang Zhuoyu felt like his body was filled with a constant source of power.
“Thanks, Xue Zhuan!”
Wang Zhuoyu then yelled, “Array formation!”
Su Changyu had once done that and set up an array formation in front of him to brag.
Wang Zhuoyu wanted to try bragging today too.
In an instant, the Linglong Star Great Array Formation began to spread across hundreds of thousands of kilometers, shrouding the entire Qingzhou. Moreover, it was still expanding,
Upon sight of this, Da Xu, who was at the side, couldn’t help but look at Lin Bei.
Back in the Well of This Life in the Seven Kings relics, Lin Bei was depicted to be in such a scene too.
He stepped onto a rainbow bridge.
Hence, Da Xu wanted to see what this rainbow bridge was all about.
Lin Bei looked at Wang Zhuoyu and then at Xue Zhuan, wondering why they had suddenly become stronger.
That made him feel very embarrassed.
Seeing Da Xu’s gaze, Lin Bei could see the curiosity and anticipation within him.
They were waiting for him to do something.
However, he couldn’t.
He was well aware of his abilities.
Lin Bei recalled what Wang Zhuoyu said about seeing him step onto the rainbow bridge.
However, he didn’t know how a rainbow bridge would come about.
After thinking carefully, he came up with the conjecture that the demons should have been defeated so a rainbow appeared after the storm. When he saw the rainbow bridge, he stepped onto it excitedly.
‘Am I that childish?’
Lin Bei ignored Da Xu’s gaze and began to contemplate if he would step onto the rainbow bridge if it really appeared.
In the sky, Gu Jianxian continued to engage with the four powerhouses in an intense battle.
Even though he was outnumbered by four cult masters, he didn’t lose the upper hand.
As the battle continued, Gu Jianxian felt his Sword Dao improving rapidly. He also felt that once he killed all four of them, he would be able to prove his supreme Sword Dao.
The faces of the four cult masters were sullen because they felt embarrassed about being unable to gain the upper hand against Gu Jianxian.
At the same time, they were shocked by Gu Jianxian’s terrifying strength.
Within the Ten Nations, the Ten Thousand Fiend Resentment was invading every corner.
Countless living beings were turned into piles of corpses by the Ten Thousand Fiend Resentment, and the prosperous ancient cities were turned into dead cities.
It was a terrifying calamity.
As time passed, the aura of the Heavenly Fiend Ancient Diagram and the Ten Thousand Fiend Banner became denser and denser.
Countless people looked at the sky, their hearts filled with despair, fear, misery, and other negative emotions.
Those people would all be turned into nutrients for the Heavenly Fiend Ancient Diagram.
“Su Changyu, you’re going to die soon.”
Sensing the growth of power within his body, he watched the people die like a Fiendcelestial patrolling the sky.
At this moment, he saw a golden barrier that was expanding continuously.
“This is… Qingzhou.”
Xia Qian looked cold and indifferent.
He made his move. He shook the Ten Thousand Fiend Banner in his hand and several black shockwaves rolled towards Qingzhou together with the Ten Thousand Fiend Resentment.
Boom!
The black shock waves shattered the golden barrier, causing everything to be torn apart as it destroyed everything in its trajectory.
The demonic aura annihilated all the living beings.
At this rate, the demonic aura would sweep through the entire Qingzhou in less than five minutes.
“Pfft!”
On the rear cliff, Wang Zhuoyu spat out a mouthful of blood.
The great array formation was connected to his heart and soul, and now that the array was broken, he was severely wounded too.
“Senior Brother, are you alright?”
Lin Bei immediately went forward to hold Wang Zhuoyu.
Supreme Demon Hall.
The Fiend Lord looked at the golden cocoon inside the hall, which had reached the critical moment of fate reversal. Even if the sky collapsed now, it would have nothing to do with him.
At this moment, a black ray of light landed on the Supreme Demon Hall.
Boom!
This black shock wave was so terrifying that the array formation of the Supreme Demon Hall was activated immediately to resist the attack.
Seeing this, the Fiend Lord got up and attacked to crush the black shock wave outside the hall before dispersing the demonic aura.
He raised his head to look into the sky with his eyes full of a murderous intent.
“How dare you disturb my son? You’ve got a death wish.”
The Fiend Lord was full of exasperation because it was the critical moment of his son’s fate reversal. A disruption might result in an accident.
His anger made him feel an urge to charge into the sky.
However, when he looked at the golden cocoon and Xu Luochen who was metamorphosing, he had no choice but to suppress his anger.
In an instant, the Supreme Demon Hall began vibrating and cracks appeared in the golden cocoon in the hall.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
