You are a cultivator of immortality, how dare you challenge my heavenly tribulation?

It was Saint Yuntian who left Yinxu and rushed to another battlefield. Saint Haoran was worried that Saint Yuntian's actions would be rash and wrong, so he decided to stay here in person to deal with possible variables.

Similarly, Fang Lei's words were followed by actions, and only he could track them in reverse, so it was the best choice for him to stay.

A few days after Saint Yuntian left, an unprecedented terrifying change occurred in Yinxu.

The originally peaceful Yinxu suddenly fell into chaos, and an indescribable strange domain appeared inside.

The strange domain seemed to be born from nothingness, and the strange breath instantly enveloped the sky above Yinxu, making it shrouded in endless fear.

At the same time, the earth began to undergo frightening changes and continued to alienate.

Countless vegetation and beasts were affected by this force and forced to mutate into hideous and terrifying monsters. Their appearance became distorted and terrifying, which was creepy.

With the continuous expansion of territory, the strange army began to endlessly erode the land of Yinxu.

Faced with this change, the monks' coalition and the Yinxu monsters were powerless to resist. They could only rely on the power of the Chaos Bell to temporarily isolate these alienated areas.

However, the power of the Chaos Bell could not restore the earth's time and space like the Mountain and River Cauldron, so the monks' coalition could only retreat continuously and try their best to resist the invasion of monsters.

However, this tug-of-war did not last long. The next moment, a huge creature suddenly emerged from the cracks in time and space, like a moving mountain, crushing the surrounding space.

The aura emanating from its body was extremely terrifying. Just the aftermath caused the monks and monsters to undergo irreversible changes.

This change first started with thoughts. The eyes of those affected monks and monsters became chaotic and unclear. They began to attack their comrades and companions, causing chaos and huge casualties within the coalition.

"Yuan Man, wake up!" someone shouted anxiously.

"What are you doing?"

"Asshole, kill them, they are already fallen cultivators!"

"Big Brother, don't kill me, don't kill me! I'm not a fallen cultivator."

For a moment, panic and chaos spread among the monks' coalition, and fighting broke out inside the monks' coalition.

On the contrary, the Yinxu monsters were able to accurately find the mutated monsters and unite to resist.

Gu Canghao witnessed all this and felt deeply sad.

The performance of their human race is not as good as that of the monsters?

"It's not that they are not as good as the monsters, but the monsters used tricks, while the human race fought on their own, and there were some contradictions between the various forces, so it's normal to take the opportunity to do dirty work." Fang Lei smiled instead, as if he thought the scene in front of him was a little funny and ridiculous.

"Methods?" Gu Canghao ignored Fang Lei's second half of the sentence, and instead began to ask Fang Lei what the monsters' tricks were.

"Smell!" Fang Lei gave a very simple answer.

"Smell?" Gu Canghao was a little confused when he heard this.

"After being contaminated by the strangeness, the smell of these monsters changed... became a little "cold", "fishy" and "wet."

"But don't most monsters have this smell? They need to constantly devour the flesh and blood of other monsters to grow, so their bodies must have some residual blood smell. The same is true for other smells."

Fang Lei did not answer this question, but directly placed a row of strange colors in front of Gu Canghao.

These colors are like the lipsticks on the Blue Star in the previous life. The colors are only slightly different, but the overall appearance is similar.

"Can you tell them apart?" Fang Lei asked.

"Yes!" Gu Canghao nodded speechlessly.

He is a cultivator after all, so his eyesight is naturally not covered. What does Fang Lei mean by asking this question?

"Monsters may not be able to tell them apart." Fang Lei added.

"What?" Gu Canghao didn't understand at first, but he suddenly understood it the next moment.

"So that's what you mean. Just like these colors, the smells that we can't distinguish are very clear to the monsters."

"Yeah!" Fang Lei nodded.

"Why did the monsters also collapse?" Gu Canghao asked in confusion, with a little puzzlement in his voice.

In his opinion, since the monsters have the ability to distinguish between enemies and friends, they should be able to hold their ground on the battlefield, so they should also be as indestructible as an iron wall on the battlefield.

Fang Lei glanced at Gu Canghao and told the unbelievable truth.

"At that time, the monsters didn't think they were enemies, but just another kind of monsters. They even thought they were more advanced, so they accepted them happily."

"What?" Gu Canghao was stunned when he heard this answer.

It's a simple inference that the monsters have mixed bloodlines and are diverse, just like the branches and leaves of the world tree, endless.

Whether it is the Qilin, the king of beasts, the Phoenix, the king of birds, or the True Dragon, the king of fish scales, they all have the characteristics of other beasts.

Therefore, it is not difficult to infer that the more powerful the monster is, the more characteristics of other beasts it has.

Because this actually represents a process of learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses and the evolution of life.

When they need to fly, they grow wings; when they need to defend, they cover themselves with scales; when they need to fight, they grow claws and fangs.

The secret of life lies in constant adaptation, change, and evolution, and the monster clan is the most solid inheritor of this.

But then again, do pure, identical monsters really exist?

The answer is yes. Those creatures called livestock and poultry are domesticated by humans and have lost their ability to fight against nature, so they naturally do not need to evolve into anything else.

But real monsters are not like this. They also have their own totems and beliefs.

"Among the monsters, if there is a beast master who dominates many monsters, or is respected by people as the god of monsters, then it must have a thousand changing faces - with hundreds of phases and thousands of faces, like a furnace of life, constantly shaping and reshaping itself."

Speaking of this, both Fang Lei and Gu Canghao unconsciously looked at the strange master who had not yet entered the Yin Ruins - the Lord of Thousand Faces.

Because this Lord of Thousand Faces perfectly fits Fang Lei's imagination and description of the beast god - hundreds of phases, thousands of faces, and the furnace of life.

Because of this, it is no wonder that the monsters will be defeated... After all, who would raise the butcher knife for their own totems and beliefs?

"Little...young friend, are you kidding?" Gu Canghao's words stuttered.

"Don't you think it's strange that the monster clan and the Chaos Bell want to kill the Thousand-Faced Lord?" Fang Lei's light words made Gu Canghao choose to shut up.

Next, as usual, I have to prepare to think about the next part of the plot, and the update can't be stable.
