"Ding!"
The ethereal sound of the bell rang out, and all fell silent. It was as if all sound had been sucked away by the sound of the bell. It was deathly silence and speechlessness.
Clang!
The bell shook again, and the ethereal sound was immediately shattered. It became extremely chaotic and noisy.
The demonfolk army became restless. The bell did not seem to ring out from their ears, but from their hearts.
The unquenchable and unforgettable regret, anger, disappointment, loneliness, and fear … All of them started to whisper, and along with the sound of the bell, the whispers grew louder and louder, roaring, and arguing without end.
This was the confusion and noise of life.
Between life and death was great terror and great confusion. This was the chaotic soul!
As Little Ann urged on the Chaotic Soul Bell, she chanted softly. It was both an indistinct dragon's roar and a solemn order, combining with the sound of the bell and becoming even more chaotic.
Her silence Just Now was not only to control the Skull Prayer Beads to deal with the battle in the distance, but also to balance the buddha and the demon, pushing the power of the Chaotic Soul Bell to the limit.
Most of the Demon domain army were regular demonfolk, so they immediately fell into chaos and began killing one another. Even the Demon Generals became agitated. They were tempted to go on a killing spree. The Demon Commanders still maintained their rationality, but they could not maintain their footing at all.
The Demon Kings were unaffected, but they did not have the authority to command the army at all. This belonged to the Doumo Hun army.
With the army in chaos, they immediately lost their unity. The three-thousand-meter-tall Doumo Hun immediately blurred. The Doumo Hun's expression changed, and his killing intent immediately rose.
Li Qingshan was overjoyed. This was basically a weapon of mass destruction. Sure enough, Little Ann was the most reliable!
The three-thousand-meter-tall sword that had cut through the Scarlet Dragon King swept through the sky, surging with demon qi as it swung towards Little Ann in the sky.
Little Ann ignored it. She did not move at all, focusing on powering the Chaotic Soul Bell. Her White Lunar Monk Robes drifted in the wind.
A blood-red moon rose into the sky. Li Qingshan cut through the three-thousand-meter-tall sword in a single stroke and stood in front of Little Ann. He pointed his blade at the Doumo Hun. "Your enemy is me!"
The Doumo Hun suddenly bellowed out. The thousand-foot-tall War Demon behind him also opened his arms wide. He let out a terrifying battle roar, which immediately drowned out the sound of the bell. The demonfolk all roused from their chaos.
…
Clear River prefecture.
The devastated land was bathed in the sunlight, and it was dyed with a layer of warmth. The Golden Cicada Spirit King looked up at the sky in a daze. The cicada wings on her back rippled with a beautiful flowing light.
Li Qingshan was also in a daze. Did this mean that he had failed the tribulation? After all, if he succeeded in transcending the tribulation, this world would not be able to accommodate him. Since he did not succeed in ascending, it meant that he had failed.
However, such a situation was far too rare. Overcoming a tribulation was often a battle of life and death. If one succeeded, they would be able to ascend a level higher, but if they failed, their souls would be dispersed and they would not even have a corpse left. Generally, only one Heavenly Tribulation would have a chance of surviving despite failing to transcend the tribulation. Moreover, the possibility was very small. The serious injuries they suffered would often sever their path of cultivation.
He had never heard of anyone surviving the Ascension Heavenly Tribulation. However, the Golden Cicada Spirit King's cultivation had clearly increased, only half a step away from ascending. Not only was he unharmed, but he even benefited from it, which was unbelievable.
However, Gu Yanying could vaguely guess the reason behind this. The heavenly tribulation was already close to its end, and the Soaring Locust King had thrown countless clones that possessed his aura into the lightning earlier. In the end, his original body died to the lightning too. Coupled with his personal strength that was extremely close to undergoing the tribulation, the heavenly tribulation concluded that the person undergoing the tribulation was already dead.
There were far too many insignificant fortuitous encounters and rare coincidences involved, which was why this was the case. She could not help but sigh. The Soaring Locust King had wholeheartedly tried to stop the Golden Cicada Spirit King from undergoing the tribulation, and he had put in tremendous effort, only to bear the horrific price of failing the tribulation for the Golden Cicada Spirit King in the end.
Jin Fugui and Yue Wuyang both let out a sigh of relief. No matter what, they had finally dealt with a great problem for the Green province. This was their responsibility as the Golden Hawk commander and the Great General King.
Suddenly, he remembered what the Soaring Locust King had shown him in the beginning and asked Li Qingshan in a hurry, "How's the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga?"
"The Demon Suppression hall has been destroyed, and the demon cavern has already opened. The Demon domain has launched a large-scale attack. An army of a million has already killed their way over. I'm going back right now to provide support. If you're interested, you can go take a look with me."
Li Qingshan glanced at the Golden Cicada Spirit King. This piece of news did not faze him at all. He continued to stare at the sky blankly. He felt some pity inside. If he could come and assist them, it would definitely be of great assistance. In terms of cultivation alone, it was very likely for him to be the highest in the nine provinces, standing between Daemon Kings and Daemon Emperors.
However, it was best if he did not disturb him right now!
As a result, he extended his hand, and a string of Skull Prayer Beads wrapped around his wrist. He flapped his wings and took off.
"First father's clone, wait for me!" The little phoenix caught up.
"What do you mean first father's clone?" Li Qingshan shot a glance at him.
"Don't tell me that's not right?"
"Don't follow me. You haven't even gone through three heavenly tribulations. Why are you joining in the fun? Go play with your younger sister!" Li Qingshan ordered.
Although the little phoenix was unwilling, he did not dare to talk back to Li Qingshan, even if it was only "first father's clone". He could only turn around and fly away.
As the wind blew past his ears, Li Qingshan looked back. Gu Yanying caught up with him and walked beside him. She smiled and said, "I can't not join in the fun!"
"Yes, but be careful. This battle is very dangerous!" Li Qingshan solemnly reminded her. Even a great cultivator might not be able to protect themselves in such a battle.
"Thank you for your concern," Gu Yanying said.
"I was worrying too much. With your ability to sail with the wind and preserve your strength, it would be strange if there was any danger," Li Qingshan said with a smile.
"Please don't make me sound so bad. In any case, I have helped you a few times!" Gu Yanying said.
"Yes, yes, yes. I will never forget Commander Gu's great kindness." Li Qingshan said with a smile. Suddenly, he felt the Skull Prayer Beads on his wrist tighten. Yes, it was indeed not the time to joke around.
Gu Yanying let out a long laugh and sped up, flying off.
After hearing Li Qingshan's words, Jin Fugui and Yue Wuyang looked solemn. They looked at each other and felt bitter. It was hard enough to deal with a Flying Locust King. Now, the locust plague was over and the demon plague was even more ferocious than the locust plague. The Qing Province was really full of disasters.
If they knew the current situation in Thousand Ghosts Abyss and the approaching army of Yue Kingdom, how would they feel?
"Are you going?" Jin Fugui sighed and asked Yue Wuyang.
"Yes!" Yue Wuyang said decisively. As a descendant of the Military School, how could he be afraid of a battle?
"The Naraka Realm is not as fun as the Ashura Realm," Jin Fugui said. The position of Golden Eagle Commander given to him by Great Xia was not worth the risk.
"I didn't ask you to go."
"Since you are going, how can I not go?"
"Be careful on the way. Take a rest!" A smile appeared on Yue Wuyang's stern face.
In the blink of an eye, only Helicoverpa Rosa was left. She looked at the Golden Cicada Spirit King and wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, she returned to the underground without saying anything.
Suddenly, everyone heard the sound of cicadas and looked back. The sound was similar to the Chant of Deva-Nāga, but it was completely different. It was more exquisite, like a long song, resounding through the sky and the earth.
There was no subtle and profound Zen, only indescribable sorrow.
A long song was a cry!
The sound of cicadas was getting louder and louder, almost beyond human hearing.
