The blood-colored continent floated in the air.
Qin Shujian did not get too close to it without permission.
He did not expect to encounter the Demon Abyss when he was just out for a walk.
What was even more surprising was that …
The Demon Abyss was formed from the physical body of a fallen Dao Fruit expert.
Qin Shujian's expression was solemn as he watched the blood-colored continent slowly approach. Now, there were still bloody hands reaching out, grabbing all the living beings that approached the continent and then devouring them.
Regardless of the realm or strength of the living beings …
In front of the Demon Abyss, they had no power to resist.
Or rather …
These living beings had already been eroded by the Demon Abyss and turned into puppets of the Demon Abyss. They did not have any spiritual intelligence, and there was no possibility of them resisting.
"The Demon Abyss is approaching, and a great calamity is inevitable. The evil demons were born from the physical body of a Dao Fruit and are also imprisoned in the physical body of a Dao Fruit.
For the evil demons, the Demon Abyss is both a hotbed and a cage.
Therefore, the evil demons yearn to get out of the Demon Abyss, and the prerequisite is that the blood-colored power that covers the Demon Abyss is destroyed. "
Qin Shujian said slowly with a calm expression.
The blood-colored power was equivalent to the Heaven and Earth Barrier of the Vast Thousand Domains, but it was also somewhat different.
If others wanted to break the blood-colored barrier, they would need to have the strength of a half-step Dao Fruit expert.
The evil demons and the Demon Abyss had the same roots. If they wanted to break the barrier, they would need to be born with a Dao Fruit expert.
Or else …
It was absolutely impossible to break the blood-colored barrier.
However …
Just like the Supreme Yin and Supreme Yang laws of the Vast Thousand Domains, the possibility of a half-step Dao Fruit expert in the Demon Abyss breaking the shackles and becoming a true Dao Fruit expert was very slim.
Unless …
They could devour the origin of the Vast Thousand Domains. Perhaps they would only have a glimmer of hope.
"It's hard to say whether it's the evil demons or the Demon Abyss who want to devour the origin of the Vast Thousand Domains." Qin Shujian suddenly sneered.
"Emperor Of Heaven, do you mean that existence hasn't really fallen?"
Godslayer asked the doubts in his heart.
He could also glean some information from Qin Shujian's words.
It was just that this news was a little too shocking.
Qin Shujian said, "Once you reach this level, you won't die so easily. The Mo Yuan in front of us might have truly fallen, or he might not have completely fallen.
But no matter what, he couldn't rule out the possibility of him being resurrected.
Of course, after being dead for so many years, the probability of resurrection is very low. Perhaps he really did die. "
Was a Dao Fruit alive or dead?
It was difficult to make a complete judgment.
This was because it was not easy for a powerhouse of this level to truly fall.
At the same time, it would be extremely difficult to revive someone who had truly died.
There was no past, and there was no future. It drifted away from the river of time.
After the fall of such an existence, it would be difficult to fish people out from the river of time.
In short.
It was fine if he wasn't completely dead, but if he was completely dead, then there was really no possibility of resurrection.
Even if an existence of the same level were to act, they would not be able to revive him.
He was thinking about something.
Qin Shujian stared fixedly at the Demonic Abyss.
For the Heavenly Court and the Vast Thousand Domains, the biggest problem at the moment was the Demonic Abyss.
If he directly killed his way into the Demonic Abyss now and got rid of all the demons, there would be no trouble in the future.
However …
As soon as this thought arose, it was dispelled by Qin Shujian.
With his current strength, not to mention whether he could break the blood-colored barrier, even if he could, there was a high chance that he would be killed if he went in.
There was more than one half-step Dao Fruit in the Demonic Abyss.
If he acted rashly …
Qin Shujian was not confident that he could fight against it.
After taking a deep look at the Demonic Abyss, he turned and left.
There was nothing to see.
After encountering the Demonic Abyss, Qin Shujian's originally relaxed mood became a little more solemn.
In the past …
He only knew that the Demonic Abyss was approaching, and there were only about 30 years before the Demonic Abyss descended.
But 30 years …
To be honest, there was still a gap.
However …
Now that he had really encountered the Demonic Abyss, Qin Shujian suddenly realized that 30 years was too short.
He had only left the Vast Thousand Domains for a short while.
Although he had spent two to three months on the journey, he had not been on the journey all the time. Most of the time, he had been killing ferocious beasts and Void Demons.
During these three months …
At most, he had been on the journey half the time, and he had not been traveling at full speed.
At the moment, the Vast Thousand Domains were also expanding, and the Demonic Abyss was also approaching. The contact between the two was imminent.
Although the blood-colored barrier was powerful, as long as it collided with the Heaven and Earth barrier, the two would directly shatter.
It took him three months to encounter the Demonic Abyss.
When Qin Shujian rushed back with all his might, it took him less than a few days to arrive at the boundary of the Vast Thousand Domains.
Originally, there were only ten cities in the Extraterritorial Battlefield.
Now, there were many more cities on the basis of the ten cities.
The location of each city was fixed, and all the cities seemed to form a huge formation.
Qin Shujian took a simple look and directly headed toward the Heaven and Earth passageway.
He had personally instructed the layout of the cities in the Extraterritorial Battlefield.
The location of each city was a node of the formation. After recovering his memories of the third era, Qin Shujian's attainments in the Formation Dao were no longer as simple as the third realm.
Now, a large number of cities had set up formations in the Extraterritorial Battlefield.
Even if the Demon Emperor personally made a move, he would be qualified to stop them.
However, if he wanted to completely resist the Demon Emperor, he would be too weak.
At the entrance of the passageway.
There was a Perfected Immortal guarding it.
After seeing Qin Shujian, the Perfected Immortal immediately bowed. "Welcome back, Emperor Of Heaven!"
"Did anything happen?"
"No." The Perfected Immortal shook his head.
"Be careful, don't let the Void Demons sneak into the Vast Thousand Domains."
Qin Shujian warned.
Void fiends could possess living beings. If a void fiend were to take advantage of this opportunity to sneak in, it might cause more trouble.
Hearing this.
The Perfected Immortal nodded and said, "Emperor Of Heaven, don't worry. With me here, no Void Demons will sneak in."
"That's for the best."
Qin Shujian smiled faintly and then entered the passage.
In the Heaven and Earth Astral Wind Layer.
The original Heavenly Court was only made up of many palaces. Although it looked good, it was still much more spacious compared to the vast Heaven and Earth Astral Wind Layer.
At this moment.
In addition to the Palace of the Gods in the Heavenly Court, there were floating stone platforms outside the palaces.
On each of the stone platforms.
There were cultivators sitting cross-legged and silently absorbing the power of the stars.
Apart from that.
There were even more cultivators flying in the air, patrolling back and forth in the Heavenly Court as if they were guards.
"It seems that the matter of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals has been settled."
The moment Qin Shujian returned to the Heavenly Court, he noticed that the Heavenly Court was different.
When he saw those unfamiliar cultivators, he already knew what had happened.
He thought about it carefully.
He had left the Heavenly Court for a few months.
In a few months, it was not difficult to settle the matter of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals.
At this time, the Heavenly Soldiers were guarding the Heavenly Court and the Heavenly Generals were leading them.
Qin Shujian also saw a few acquaintances among the many Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals.
Among them.
Many of them were strong cultivators from the Qianyuan Sacred Ground.
"Both the Testing Sword Peak and Nyingbo passed the assessment. I remember that Zhang Ergou is also a warlord. Did he fail the assessment?" Qin Shujian spread his Divine Will and quickly saw the scene in the Heavenly Court.
When he did not see Zhang Ergou, he was a little surprised.
On second thought.
Qin Shujian was a little relieved.
"The opponent on the ninth floor of the Star Tower is me. To be able to pass this level, I don't rely on strength, but on comprehension.
It's normal if I can't pass. "
The Star Tower.
It was a treasure that Qin Shujian casually refined some time ago.
It was a treasure, but it depended on who it was for.
For a Celestial Being cultivator, the Star Tower was a powerful treasure. Even for an ordinary True Immortal, the Star Tower was very useful.
But for Qin Shujian.
The Star Pagoda was just a simple little item.
As early as the third era, the Heavenly Court had a Heaven Reaching Tower, which was a real top treasure. It was an existence that was born when heaven and earth were born.
"It's a pity that it's too difficult to refine a complete Heaven Reaching Tower. If the Weapon Emperor was here, it might be possible."
"There's no hope for me to refine a Heaven Reaching Tower with my methods."
Qin Shujian felt regretful.
He also wanted to refine a Heaven Reaching Tower, which was a real treasure.
Even if a ninth level immortal entered the Heaven Reaching Tower, he would be able to gain something.
Compared with the Heaven Reaching Tower, an inferior version like the Star Tower was really not good enough.
However.
In order to refine the Tong Tian Tower, in addition to having world-shaking forging methods, it also required top-notch materials.
Such materials were born at the moment when heaven and earth were born and combined with the scattered laws. They could only be found by chance.
Now that the Greater World had been born for countless years, such materials no longer existed.
Of course, it was not impossible to replace them.
For example, the scattered light above the Heavenly Court was qualified to be the embryo of the Heaven Reaching Tower.
But the problem was.
It was difficult to destroy a Connate Cardinal Treasure, and it was even more difficult to refine one.
Connate Cardinal Treasures were indestructible. Treasures of the same level could achieve mutual destruction, but there was no way to refine them.
Even the True Sun Fire and Connate Divine Fire, which were known as the top divine fires in heaven and earth, could not melt a Connate Cardinal Treasure.
So.
Refining a Heaven Reaching Tower had become an extravagant hope for the time being.
In front of the Heavenly Palace.
Qin Shujian's return did not attract the attention of any Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals.
It was impossible for those Celestial Being cultivators to discover his whereabouts.
"Emperor Of Heaven, you're back!" Mu Yang sensed something and transformed into an incarnation, bowing to Qin Shujian.
"Inform the gods of the Heavenly Court to have a meeting in the inner hall of the Heavenly Palace!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Upon receiving the order, Mu Yang immediately dispersed his incarnation.
Then.
The roots at the bottom of the Heavenly Palace moved and spread out in all directions, touching the various palaces.
The gods in the palaces felt something and also withdrew from their seclusion.
"The Emperor Of Heaven is back!"
Xiao Chengfeng opened his eyes and then stood up from the futon.
In the inner hall of the Heavenly Palace.
Qin Shujian sat on the throne, and the gods entered in an orderly manner.
The moment they saw him, everyone bowed. "Greetings, Emperor Of Heaven!"
"Everyone, please rise."
"Thank you, Emperor Of Heaven!"
The gods stood up.
Qin Shujian said, "When I returned from the outer realm, I saw that there were Celestial Being cultivators in the Heavenly Court. Has the selection of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals been completed?"
As he spoke, his gaze fell on Zhao Huang.
The Emperor Of Heaven was not in the Heavenly Court.
Everything was handled by the Five Imperial Emperors.
The selection of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals was also handled by Zhao Huang, the Emperor Zhongyuan.
Hearing that.
Zhao Huang cupped his hands and said, "Emperor Of Heaven, the selection of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals has been completed. There are a total of thirty-five thousand Heavenly Soldiers and twenty-nine Heavenly Generals. The name list is here."
At this moment, a jade talisman floated from his hand and flew toward Qin Shujian.
When the jade talisman floated a little higher than the table, it seemed to lose all its power and automatically landed on the table.
Qin Shujian grabbed the jade talisman and read the information inside.
Instantly.
The names of all the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals appeared in his mind.
Zhao Huang took out the Star Tower again. "The selection of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals has been completed. This supreme treasure will be returned to the Emperor Of Heaven!"
Looking at the Star Tower on the table.
Qin Shujian grabbed the Star Tower and threw it out of the Heavenly Palace.
The moment the Star Tower flew out of the Heavenly Palace, all the seals on it were broken.
A thousand-foot-tall tower broke through the Heavenly Court's array and fell toward the Realm of Fallen Immortals.
Boom!
The earth shook.
The city shook.
All the cultivators in the city were shocked by this sudden turn of events.
When they came to their senses, they saw that a thousand-foot-tall tower had appeared in the middle of the city.
The moment they saw the tower.
These cultivators also recognized the identity of the pagoda.
"Isn't that the tower that appeared in the last selection? Why did it appear again all of a sudden? "
"Could it be that the second round of the selection has begun?"
"That's impossible. If there's a second round of the selection, there should be some news about it."
Just as everyone was puzzled.
A dignified voice descended from the sky and entered everyone's ears.
"Everyone can enter the Star Tower to train by paying merit points. Each challenge costs one hundred Diviner merit points. Those who pass the fifth level will be refunded.
Those who can pass all nine levels will receive an additional one thousand Diviner merit points. "
With that, the voice disappeared.
After a brief moment of silence, the city boiled over.
Training in the Star Tower!
One hundred Diviner merit points could enter the tower to train. Passing the fifth level would break even, and passing the ninth level would give you ten times the reward.
What did one thousand Diviner merit points mean?
Killing a Deva Realm Void Devil only rewarded him with a thousand Deva merit points, that was all.
Moreover.
Regardless of whether it was a Diviner Realm void demon or a Diviner Realm void demon, they would all only be worth one thousand Diviner merit points.
In other words.
If one successfully challenged the Star Tower, it would be equivalent to killing a Diviner Realm void demon.
Such a reward was very generous.
Void demons were very difficult to kill, not only because of their strength, but also because of their large numbers.
Basically.
It was rare to encounter a lone void demon.
Only True Immortal Realm existences would the Void Fiend Devils travel alone.
Otherwise, most of the fiendish void demons would travel in groups.
As a result, the difficulty of hunting down the demons had increased by a lot.
Coupled with the strange methods of the void demons, it was not easy for experts of the same realm to kill them. Moreover, if one was not careful, there was a possibility of being killed instead.
Compared to using one's life to earn merit points in the extraterritorial battlefield.
Now that one could obtain the corresponding merit points by challenging the Star Tower, everyone knew what to choose.
However!
The Star Pagoda was not without its dangers.
If one did not pass the first level, there was a possibility of dying.
However, it was different from the beginning.
Now, everyone knew what they would encounter after entering the Star Tower. Therefore, those who were not confident would not challenge it. Those who challenged it were those who were confident.
Some cultivators rubbed their palms, eager to give it a try. "I remember that the puppets in the first four levels of the Star Tower could not use the power of laws. In other words, the stronger one's realm is, the greater the benefits.
Only at the fifth level will it start to become more difficult.
In that case, it's time to give it a try. "
Starting from the fourth level of the Diviner Realm, the higher one's realm was, the more one could borrow the power of laws.
Therefore.
When encountering puppets that could not borrow the power of laws, the advantage would be greater.
Although the fifth level was difficult, it was not impossible for some people to challenge it.
Anyway, as long as they passed the first level, even if they failed, they could retreat calmly. At most, they would lose a hundred Diviner merit points.
Although this loss was not small.
It was not impossible to take a risk.
