Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

The situation within the city was deteriorating, with Yin Sha mist swirling and condensing into black clouds, obscuring the moonlight and plunging the entire city into darkness.

On the streets, the Yin wind howled, raging past and causing the doors and windows of the houses to bang and crash.

Jun Wuxie and the others sprinted through the streets, traversing one long street after another, finally nearing the central plaza of the city.

But upon arriving here, the Yin energy became even denser.

The Yin energy gathered in the sky above the city center, surging like black waves, forming a terrifying Yin wind that swept over them, almost lifting them off their feet.

Rumble!

At the same time, the circular buildings surrounding the plaza began to tremble.

Immediately following, there were dense crashing sounds from within the circular buildings, like coffins striking the ground, extremely rapid, with high frequency and great force.

Inside the circular buildings along the edge of the plaza, Jun Wuxie sensed nine chilling and terrifying auras.

These auras were rapidly growing stronger, like slumbering fierce beings quickly awakening, about to display their ferocious power.

Dugu Ruyan, Jian Chen, Jian Xu, Di Hui, and Zhao Wenting also sensed it, and their expressions changed drastically.

Even a myth at the third level of the Land Immortal Realm, in such a special small world, facing such a situation, felt a great threat to their lives.

"Quick, to the altar in the center of the plaza!"

Jun Wuxie's gaze fell on the center of the plaza, where there was a circular platform with steps all around, covering an area of over ten meters.

The altar was covered with runes, and a three-meter-high stone tower stood in the very center.

At this moment, mysterious runes on the stone tower lit up with a faint light, as if affected by the Yin Sha energy.

"Dang!"

Just then, a sound like a great bell rang out from the stone tower of the altar, and the runes intertwined, actually evolving into Sanskrit Buddhist script, with golden light of Buddhist Dharma overflowing, projecting onto the edge of the altar, forming a Buddhist light barrier with a radius of over ten meters.

Between heaven and earth, the Yin wind howled, incomparably violent, greatly affecting the speed of Jun Wuxie and the others.

Moving against such a fierce Yin wind was difficult, with their bodies seemingly facing the frontal impact of a terrifying torrent.

Di Hui was the first to be unable to withstand it, using all his strength but unable to take another step forward.

The force of the Yin wind's impact was too great, extremely terrifying, like a torrent, like a mountain crushing down.

Immediately following, Jian Xu and Zhao Wenting also struggled to move, unable to continue forward.

Soon, Jian Chen and Dugu Ruyan were in the same situation.

"Everyone, hold on to each other!"

Jun Wuxie grabbed the hands of Jian Chen and Dugu Ruyan on his left and right, respectively.

"No, we can't hold on any longer! Brother Jun, let go. You can't pull the five of us forward alone, don't worry about us!"

Jian Chen tried to break free from him, but failed. Jun Wuxie's fingers gripped him and Dugu Ruyan firmly like iron pincers, and he said, "Trust me, all of you hold on tight to each other, and follow me!"

Jun Wuxie instructed them. After they had firmly grasped each other's hands, his Taiji Star Sea, Primordial Disassembly, and Blood Transformation into Demon instantly overlapped, and the Dou Character Art effect was triggered, causing his own strength to increase wildly.

And so, Jun Wuxie strode forward, forcibly dragging the five of them against the wind towards the center of the plaza.

At this time, on the altar in the center of the plaza, the Buddhist light barrier formed a pure land.

No matter how the surrounding Yin energy surged, there was no trace of Yin energy in the Buddhist light barrier.

The Yin energy turned into green smoke with a sizzling sound about half a meter away from the Buddhist light barrier.

In the circular buildings around the plaza, the sound of coffins hitting the ground became denser, and a terrifying, violent, and eerie aura emanated from inside the circular buildings, causing chills to run down one's spine.

"Are the nurtured main corpses about to come out?"

Jian Chen looked at the circular buildings, his expression extremely solemn.

He had not expected that upon arriving in an alien universe, he would fall into a life-and-death predicament so quickly.

Although he had experienced many difficulties over the years of cultivation, he rarely had such a thrilling feeling as he did now.

He could feel that once the things inside the circular buildings rushed out, they would definitely not be something he could deal with.

If there was only one, they might still have a chance of winning if they joined forces, but the number was obviously more than one!

"They are not main corpses, just the servant corpses beside the main corpses!"

Jun Wuxie understood the situation inside the circular buildings through the information fed back by the exquisite divine sense.

Around the perimeter, there are nine main coffins. There are two servant coffins on either side of each main coffin.

Now, only one of the two servant coffins next to those main coffins is shaking, with the coffin body constantly hitting the ground and the coffin lid trembling.

This is because someone has broken into this place, causing the magic circle left by the one who set up this situation to sense it, so it accelerated the nurturing of the main corpse and awakened some of the servant corpses in the servant coffins.

"What?"

Jian Chen and the other five were filled with shock.

It was just a servant corpse, not the main corpse?

The aura of the servant corpse was already so terrifying, how strong would it be if the main corpse awakened?

If the main corpse really revived, then they would definitely be doomed, with no possibility of survival!

"Clang!"

"Roar!"

Throughout the city, there were bursts of loud noises, followed by low roars.

It was unknown how many roars sounded at the same time, shaking the Yin mist in the air until it dissipated, but it quickly reassembled.

Jun Wuxie quickened his pace, and the distance to the altar in the center of the plaza was rapidly closing.

Roar!

At the entrances around the plaza, countless roars came from there.

Jun Wuxie and the others turned their heads to look, and their pupils could not help but contract.

A large number of corpse tides appeared at all four entrances.

Those corpses all had disheveled hair, pale eyes, long, sharp fangs, bloodstained faces, long fingernails, and when they roared, they spewed out bursts of Yin Sha corpse energy.

The astonishing number of corpse tides poured into the plaza like a tide, rushing towards them.

Faced with such a scene, even Jian Chen and Dugu Ruyan and others who were experienced and had seen various big scenes could not help but feel terrified in their hearts, their bodies breaking out in cold sweats, and their scalps tingling.

"Boom!"

Just then, Jun Wuxie, pulling them, finally completed the last step, ascended the altar steps, and stepped into the Buddhist light barrier.

Once inside, the five people's tense minds suddenly relaxed, and they slumped to the ground, panting, with cold sweat on their foreheads and temples, and pale faces.

Roar!

The tidal wave of evil corpses rushed onto the altar, attacking the Buddhist light barrier, and issuing violent roars.

However, the moment the evil corpses' bodies came into contact with the Buddhist light barrier, they let out miserable screams.

Large golden cracks appeared on their corpses, followed by golden flames that instantly incinerated them.

The corpse tide constantly impacted like moths to a flame, round after round, but all the evil corpses were burned to ashes without exception, and the Buddhist light barrier was strong and indestructible, without being affected in the slightest.

Jun Wuxie looked coldly at the corpse tide impacting the Buddhist light barrier. After a while, the corpse tide stopped, no longer impacting like they were courting death.

They slowly retreated, maintaining a distance of tens of meters from the altar, and then stopped, surrounding the entire plaza, leaving no gaps.

The Yin Sha energy and corpse energy on the plaza were so dense that it was indescribable. If there was no Buddhist light barrier, even breathing would be difficult, and being in such an environment was extremely uncomfortable for living people.

"Brother Jun, doesn't the rune array on the ground of this altar look like a teleportation rune array?"

After a little panting, Jian Chen and the other five carefully examined the runes engraved on the ground, feeling a little strange in their hearts.

These runes were somewhat similar to the teleportation formations they had seen before, but they were not the same, seemingly similar but not, making it impossible for them to make a definite judgment.

"It is indeed an ancient teleportation array."

Jun Wuxie followed the trend of the rune array on the ground and looked all the way to the stone tower in the middle, and then looked at the edge of the altar.

The trend of the rune array did not end at the edge of the altar, but continued to extend.

It was just that the extended runes could not be seen, sinking into the earth and hiding.

"This is not just a teleportation array, teleportation is just part of its function…"

Jun Wuxie activated his Rune Dao pupil technique to observe carefully, and found that there were many rune veins in the earth of the plaza outside the altar, densely packed.

These runes intertwined, like the meridians of the human body, quite complex, but some places had been damaged, making this large array incomplete.

His pupil technique's gaze carefully observed along these rune veins, and found that some runes actually extended into the circular buildings along the edge of the plaza.

"How could this magic circle…"

Jun Wuxie's expression sank slightly. Through the magic circle veins, his Rune Dao pupil technique saw a very thorny thing.

There were rune veins extending to the circular buildings along the edge of the plaza, and they had a close connection with some of the servant coffins inside.

Through the deduction of the magic circle, it was discovered that the truth was that the other end of the runes extending into the circular buildings and connected to the servant coffins was actually inside this altar.

The two belonged to a suppression relationship. The servant coffins suppressed the magic circle runes, thus making the teleportation runes on the altar unable to be lit, that is to say, the teleportation function could not be used, and it was impossible to leave this city through this ancient array!

"Brother Jun, have you seen anything?"

"Can this ancient teleportation array be activated?"

Jian Chen, Dugu Ruyan, and the others didn't want to stay in this city for a moment longer.

This place was nothing like a human world, it was clearly the underworld, a world belonging to the dead. It was too depressing for the living to stay here.

"I'm very sorry to tell you that we can't use the teleportation function of this array, at least not in the short term, unless…"

He immediately told them what he had learned without any reservation.

The five people's faces changed repeatedly as they listened. After listening, they all fell into silence.

"How is that possible? Forget about the servant corpse, we can't even deal with these things in the plaza. Such a large number, coupled with the extremely harsh environment of intense Yin煞 energy outside, we can't cope..."

"Yes, and if there's a servant corpse, then there's no way we can clash with it. Its strength is unknown, and there's also this massive corpse tide."

"Heh, this doesn't sound like something a myth of the younger generation would say. Giving up before even starting?" Dugu Ruyan said solemnly, "Currently, we have no other choice. What Brother Jun said is the only way for us to solve the problem. Whether it works or not, whatever the outcome, we have to try. We can't just sit here and wait for death!"

"Dugu Ruyan is right, we only have this choice." Jun Wuxie nodded and said, "I'll kill the servant corpse. You just need to hold off the corpse tide, buy me time, and create opportunities."

"Such a division of labor is fine, but the problem is that we might find it difficult to hold off the corpse tide. The evil corpses forming the corpse tide should all be equivalent to the peak of the Land Immortal Realm's third level. Although we are myths, our realm is only at the early stage of the Land Immortal Realm's third level. The difference in realm is significant. Relying on the myth domain, we can naturally crush them, but that is based on the premise of a limited number. In the current situation, the number is at least in the tens of millions, constantly increasing, and the environment is quite harsh, which has a great negative impact on us, making it difficult to exert our peak combat power."

"If we act now, it definitely won't work. You can't hold off the corpse tide in your current state, I'm very clear about that. Therefore, before taking action, you must first break through a few realms."

"This..." Jian Chen looked at him in surprise, "Brother Jun, we do have some resources that can allow us to break through two or three realms, no problem. But these resources are conventional resources. If we use such resources to break through realms, who knows how long it will take? Several months, or even a year, for one realm? After a few realms, that would take several years or even ten years. If we stay here for ten years, even if the main corpse doesn't come out, I'm afraid this Buddha Light Barrier won't be able to last that long, right?"

"I have resources that can help you break through quickly. It won't take ten years, or even a year."

As Jun Wuxie spoke, he asked Jian Chen for some of the conventional resources from their universe to see if the energy contained within was different from the energy of this universe.

In the end, he confirmed that although the energy of the other world's resources was slightly different from the Holy Spirit Origin Qi of this world, the essence was the same.

"Brother Jun, there's really no need for that. Apart from the energy of the Dark Universe, the energy of other universes is interconnected and can be used mutually, unless it's a special negative energy, such as the Yin煞 energy here."

"Of course I know, but it's better to confirm some things, after all, what I'm giving you isn't conventional resources."

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he sat down cross-legged with his back against the stone tower and said, "Everyone, I'm about to start. A massive amount of energy will be released from my body. Absorb it with peace of mind, refine it as quickly as possible, absorb as much as possible, so that you can break through realms in the shortest amount of time!"

Jun Wuxie instructed in this way. Although he was certain that it was safe in this Buddha Light Barrier, it didn't mean that they could slowly cultivate inside.

This city was too dangerous, not a place to stay for long. The longer they stayed, the more variables there would be.

Because no one knew when the corpse king nurtured in the main coffin would awaken.

If it was said that he could handle the servant corpse in the servant coffin after his realm broke through to a certain level, then facing the corpse king would probably be different. Even if Senior Sister Linglong took action, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to defeat it.

After all, Senior Sister Linglong is very weak now. The corpse king inside the main coffin, is it just at the Overlord Saint Realm?

Exceeding the Overlord Saint Realm, Lanlan's divine abilities are useless, because the corpse king is definitely not like the Ancient Demon Centipede, whose strength fell to the early stage of the Overlord Saint Realm due to hibernation.

Besides, he wouldn't expose Lanlan's abilities in front of others unless it was absolutely necessary.
