Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

White Bone Abyss, the yin energy pierces the bones, and the baleful aura surges.

The deeper Jun Wuxie went after entering, the more intense he felt the baleful aura, and his heart sank accordingly.

The gloominess here exceeded his expectations. The baleful aura could corrode a person's body, penetrating through the surface skin and seeping into the body.

In this environment, not to mention other dangers, the environment formed here alone would be difficult for people below the Supreme Saint Realm to withstand, let alone his old friends who had been here for more than half a year.

In the White Bone Abyss, there were broken and collapsed mountains everywhere. One could clearly sense the defensive laws beneath the earth, left over from some unknown era, still existing today, but very weak, and about to be worn away by time.

The edge area of the White Bone Abyss was nothing, but as he continued to go deeper, a large number of corpses began to appear in his sight, with bones piled up everywhere.

Among these bones, most of them remained crystal clear, like jade, shimmering with luster.

Among these jade-like bones, Jun Wuxie sensed an unusual aura that did not belong to the Ming Universe.

These were the skeletons of dark creatures.

He was too familiar with the corpses of dark creatures. He had been in contact with them for many years, and to this day, he didn't know how many he had seen.

"It seems that this used to be a battlefield."

The scene before him showed that a great battle had taken place here in a certain era. So many dark creatures died, and there could be no other reason than the Flood of Doomsday.

He was shocked that most of the bones here belonged to dark creatures, while the remaining bones, decayed over the years, belonged to cultivators from the Upper Realm.

This ratio was unbelievable.

Because normally, it would take at least several or even more than ten cultivators from the Ming Universe to contend with dark universe creatures of the same realm.

However, the battle that took place here was not like this. On the contrary, the number of people from the Ming Universe was much smaller, and the number of dark creatures was even greater, achieving an astonishing attrition ratio.

This kind of thing rarely happened in battles between the Ming Universe and the Dark Universe.

The intense yin and baleful aura permeated the area, greatly affecting the range of perception of divine sense and strongly interfering with vision.

Fortunately, Jun Wuxie's soul was extremely powerful. At least in a cultivation universe like the Upper Realm, his soul realm was the ceiling.

Being in such an environment, he could still perceive a very far range.

Continuing to go deeper into the White Bone Abyss, the road was no longer so smooth, and he began to sense the evil and murderous will attacking.

The dense yin and baleful mist in front began to surge, like a vast sea of ​​waves rolling, and a sharp sound was transmitted into his mind.

From all directions, the yin and baleful mist swept in frantically, condensing into human figures wearing black armor, as if transformed into thousands of troops, with the sound of shouting and killing soaring into the sky.

Jun Wuxie's eyes were indifferent, and the chaotic golden blood energy was released, and the aura of extreme yang permeated.

His body was like a shining sun, with chaotic golden light shining brightly, shattering all the yin and baleful mist that swept in.

The moment the blood energy came into contact with the attacking evil mist, it caused the baleful aura to be burned by flames, emitting bursts of green smoke, and making sharp hissing sounds that pierced the eardrums, making people feel very uncomfortable.

His diffused divine sense could clearly sense that there were too many evil and violent wills lurking in the yin and baleful aura in this area.

Too much resentment and baleful aura had gathered in this world. Although it had gone through a long time, it had never dissipated.

These resentment and baleful auras launched attacks on him through mist-shaped and invisible will.

Fortunately, his cultivation was already very profound. Not to mention the Dao of Talismans, his Martial Dao alone was already at the Great Perfection of the Supreme Saint Realm.

The current evil resentment and baleful aura could not do anything to him.

However, such an environment made him even more worried.

He could withstand it and defeat the attacks of the dark resentment and baleful aura, but could his old friends withstand it?

The only thing that still gave him hope was that he had not found the corpses of his old friends within the range of his divine sense all the way, which meant that they might still be alive.

Although their hope of survival in this environment was extremely slim, there was still a glimmer of possibility.

"Lord Jun, in this environment, I am afraid that there is no hope of surviving without reaching the Supreme Saint Realm. Even the strong in the Supreme Saint Realm may fall if they stay inside for a long time and cannot resist the persistent erosion of these resentment and baleful auras."

Zi Yun already understood the purpose of his coming here and expressed her concern about it. Lord Jun's old friends were probably…

Although she did not directly state her opinion, her expression made it very clear.

Jun Wuxie did not respond to her, but continued to walk towards the White Bone Abyss.

The deeper he went, the heavier the resentment and baleful aura became, and the more intense the attacks of the dark baleful aura he encountered.

Along the way, they were almost walking against the thousands of troops transformed by the dark aura in front of them.

Gradually, a dilapidated city appeared within the range of perception.

Jun Wuxie sensed extremely powerful fluctuations in the city, as well as a resentment and baleful power that was more terrifying than any baleful aura he had encountered here, and it had a very strong dark will.

They quickened their pace and soon saw a huge ancient city in the mist.

This city was severely damaged. Many places on the tall city walls had gaps. The city walls were full of holes left by weapons, and the city gates were dilapidated.

Beneath the city walls, corpses were everywhere, piled up in a thick layer, and the same was true at the city gates.

This scene made it possible to imagine how fierce the war was back then.

"The garrison in this city was actually able to kill so many dark creatures. It's really unbelievable!"

Zi Yun was stunned by the scenes she saw along the way. She knew the horror of dark creatures, not only from the warnings of her ancestors, but also from having fought against dark creatures in the Azure Dragon Gorge Secret Realm.

Those dark creatures still lived in the Ming Universe, which greatly weakened the suppression effect of their cultivation laws and true energy on the cultivators of the Ming Universe.

If dark creatures came directly from the Dark Universe, they would only be more terrifying. In the same realm, cultivators from the Ming Universe would be difficult to match.

But the relics left by this city can be called a miracle!

Among all the corpses, most of them were dark creatures, and only a small part belonged to cultivators from the Upper Realm.

"There seems to be a city within a city inside!"

Zi Yun pointed to the center of the city.

Jun Wuxie nodded, and they stepped on the corpses of dark creatures, passed through the city gate, and entered the city.

The streets and buildings in the city were in a state of disrepair. The streets were also covered with bones, mostly belonging to dark creatures.

Most of these bones were stuck with weapons, either nailed to the ground by war spears, or pierced by war swords and nailed to the buildings on both sides of the street.

Walking on the streets of this city, Jun Wuxie vaguely seemed to hear the sound of shouting and killing, and he simulated the scene of the garrison of this city fighting against darkness in his mind.

Passing through long streets, they were getting closer and closer to the city within a city.

Here, the dark baleful aura was many times stronger.

The sound of shouting and killing came from ahead, and the darkness, evil, and violence swept in.

He and Zi Yun walked to the end of the street and saw a vast area.

The city within a city stood alone at the end of this area, with towering walls. There were sparse generals standing on it, but they were not made of flesh and blood, but heroic spirits.

Those soul bodies looked like they were covered in blood and exhausted from fighting here during their lifetime, but the fighting will in their eyes was extremely firm.

The vast area under the city was densely packed with dark armies, boundless, with at least several million in number!

The leader of the dark army was organizing the siege, and dark creatures continued to rush towards the city within a city.

The number of defenders on the city walls was extremely small, only a few hundred people. Many people were wrapped in blood energy bandages, obviously they were seriously injured. Most of their bodies were about to disintegrate, and they were forcibly bound by blood energy bandages.

Some of them manipulated powerful special continuous-firing crossbows, constantly shooting and killing the dark creatures attacking the city.

Some held war knives and fought with the dark creatures climbing up the city walls.

The strength of these defending generals was very strong. In the cultivation world, each of them could be regarded as a peerless talent of their generation.

Their realm was very high, all of them were in the Supreme Saint Realm, fighting bloody battles inside, fighting to the death with dark creatures.

There was a special order in this city, which made all the laws and true energy unusable. Whether it was dark creatures or defenders, they could only fight with their physical bodies.

The physical bodies of each defender were very strong. Obviously, they had specially trained their physical bodies, and the forbidden environment in this city should have been specially created to deal with dark creatures, so that they could exert the advantages of the defenders.

"Lord Jun, is this a reappearance of the scene from that year, or a continuation of the obsession of heroic spirits, still fighting to this day?"

Zi Yun was shocked by such a scene, and at the same time, she felt very sad.

The number of defenders was only a mere eight hundred people, facing millions of dark troops, guarding this city alone.

"It's a reflection of the scene from that year…"

Jun Wuxie felt heavy, and he didn't expect to be able to witness part of the battle scene that took place here back then across time and space.

"It seems like there are people!"

Zi Yun saw figures in a certain area on the city wall, not heroic spirits, but flesh and blood.

Jun Wuxie came back to his senses and looked in the direction she was pointing, his pupils suddenly contracted, and then his face showed excitement.

"It's them!"

His hanging heart suddenly dropped.

It was his old friends, Saint Son Xuanyuan, Xuanyuan Yuzhu and others, a total of dozens of people.

Their complexions were pale, and their spirits were low, but they were not seriously injured.

They had taken refuge in the city within a city, apparently under the protection of the heroic spirits. Otherwise, they would have long been swallowed up by the dark army formed from the dark baleful aura and would have been unable to resist.

“General! We can’t hold this city anymore!”

At that moment, a slightly choked voice echoed from the city wall, filled with regret, unwillingness, and deep sorrow.

“Even if we can’t hold it, we must! We have fought here for thirty years, sacrificing so many brothers, preventing the dark army from crossing the line!

Now, although there are only a few hundred of us left, we must still persevere!

The borderlands have collapsed. This is the last barrier. Once it falls, the beautiful lands of Canglan will surely be lost, and dark creatures will run rampant, causing widespread suffering!”

“We know. Of course, we must continue to defend, but it has been thirty years. Why haven’t reinforcements arrived? Why aren’t they coming to support us!”

The general stood on the city wall, and upon hearing his soldiers' words, his lips trembled. He wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

In his eyes, Jun Wuxie saw tears and an indescribable sorrow.

“Our families, our sects, everyone has died in the borderlands. Now, only we remain…”

“But there are other forces. Why aren’t they sending people here…”

“Silence! Do not waver the morale of the troops! Regardless of whether those people come to help, our duty must not waver in the slightest! Our families and sects have given everything, so many lives buried in the borderlands, guarding Canglan is their dying wish!

Even for the sake of revenge, we cannot retreat.

Everyone has their own aspirations. We only need to do our own thing well. The choices of others are irrelevant to us.

Throughout these many epochs, hasn't every dark invasion been like this? There are always those who sweep the snow from their own doorsteps, and there are always those who bravely stand up.

If the upper realm civilization is to continue, someone must shed blood and sacrifice themselves.

It is because countless predecessors and heroes have shed their blood and laid down their lives that we have the present. We are merely continuing the path of our predecessors, completing the tasks they did not finish!

This is our last battle. Are you afraid?”

The general looked at the densely packed dark army outside the city, his voice resounding as he questioned the soldiers on the city wall.

Clang!

The sound of swords being drawn filled the air.

“Very good, follow me out of the city and let us unleash our final brilliance. I believe that future generations will also have people like us fighting for this cause. Darkness will eventually be eradicated, and our realm will usher in a long period of peace and prosperity. At that time, we will no longer be invaded by darkness, no longer trampled upon by dark creatures, and future generations will be able to live happily!”

“Eradicate the darkness, purify the universe!”

Eight hundred soldiers shouted in unison, then followed the general, jumping off the city wall and charging fearlessly towards the densely packed dark army.

In an instant, they were swallowed up by the dark army.

Countless dark soldiers besieged them, and the sounds of weapons clashing and their roars echoed from within.

“Divine Lord Jun…”

Witnessing such a scene, Ziyun's voice trembled slightly, deeply moved by the sight.

“Kill!”

Just then, shouts of battle rose again from within the city within a city. It was Xuanyuan Shengzi and Xuanyuan Yuzhu and the others, all rushing out of the city at this moment, charging towards the dark creatures.

Their eyes were all filled with unwavering determination, their fighting spirit boiling, and their blood surging.

“Everyone, stop!”

Jun Wuxie rushed into the battlefield like a stream of light, standing tall in the sky, his body radiating golden light of chaos, his blood-qi palm pressing down, directly obliterating large swaths of the dark army, turning them into Yin baleful aura.

These are not the real scenes of this era, but the scenes of that year reflected by the Yin baleful aura left by the dark army and the obsessions of the heroic spirits guarding the city.

Yuzhu and the others were infected by the emotions. Rushing out like this would cause them to be eroded by the Yin baleful aura, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
