In the desolate village, a shrouding aura of death enveloped the land. The land had become barren, even more deathly silent than a swarm of locusts. Not a single living creature existed. Even if there were one or two 'living creatures' from time to time, they had already become subjects of the kingdom of death.
Li Qingshan set foot in this land of death and could not help but frown. This was the instinctive disgust that living creatures had towards death.
The sound of hooves rang out from behind him, and a corpse horse charged over. Most of its body had rotted away, revealing its white bones. Its eye sockets shone with clear, green light, filled with a desire to devour and hatred towards the living.
Li Qingshan glanced back. He had sensed the corpse horse's existence a long time ago, but he never thought it would actually charge over. "Has even the most basic sense of fear disappeared?"
There was a disturbance in the desolate village. Villagers emerged from the streets one by one. Their bodies were all half-rotted, and their movements were slow and rigid. When they saw Li Qingshan, they were like people who had starved for three days seeing a piece of meat. They all surged over. There were many agile and graceful existences, but they were all vengeful spirits and hungry ghosts.
There was a phoenix's cry!
Li Qingshan unfurled his wings and turned into a streak of fire, rushing towards the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss. The desolate village behind him was reduced to ashes in the flames.
The ground flew backwards. Many cities and villages were swallowed by the aura of death as well, spreading for thousands of kilometers!
Because they were close to a large sect like the Umbral Yin sect, and the disciples of the Umbral Yin sect were rather skilled in "human" tactics, even the Soaring Locust King feared them, so they were not particularly affected by the locust plague. Instead, many people gathered here. They never thought they would run into a disaster like this after escaping the locust plague, turning them all into ghouls.
A large city appeared on the horizon. It was no smaller than the prefectural city of Clear River. It must have been a prefectural city as well. Prosperity had already become an old dream. It had completely become a land of ghouls, numbering in the millions. Even the horror movies he had seen in his past life paled in comparison to this.
Li Qingshan thought back to how the White Lotus Mother had slaughtered two hundred thousand people in a city for the sake of refining an arcane treasure, and he had been extremely shocked. Only now did he understand what it meant for human lives to be worthless. He could not help but sigh. It was a coldness that treated all living things as straw dogs.
Flying above the city, he suddenly descended from the sky, using gravity to accelerate. He was like a meteor, dragging a long tail of flames behind him as he landed in the center of the city with a loud bang.
A wave of earth swept through the entire city. The buildings collapsed one after another, burying countless ghouls. It was like a great earthquake, or rather, a great earthquake!
As far as the eye could see, there were many tall buildings in the city. It had already turned into a pile of rubble. Looking at his own hands, he said, "This is my current strength, the power of destruction, and this is just a mirror image. What am I going to do with this power? Save the world and uphold justice? Or indulging in sensual pleasures. Do whatever I want? "
He flew away and continued forward. His words were left behind on the ruins of the city, and they drifted with the wind.
"I'm sorry. Although I sympathize with your misfortune, I'm not fighting for you!"
When they were three hundred miles away from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss, Li Qingshan muttered, "Mystic Light Illuminates All!"
His field of vision suddenly zoomed in, and the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss was clearly reflected on the Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell. He could not help but be surprised. "That's!"
A tower of white bone over three thousand meters tall rose into the air, but it only seemed like the base. Its height after completion was unimaginable. Was it going to connect with the sky?
Many figures busied about on the tower of bone, like construction workers toiling away in the city.
However, when Li Qingshan unleashed the Mystic Light Illuminates All, these "construction workers" all sensed something, turning around and looking over.
The ones who built the towers were actually Corpse Kings, and the supervisor was a group of ghosts that kept changing forms. A translucent tentacle whipped the back of a Corpse King. It looked light and almost gentle, but it caused the Corpse King's entire body to tremble, and a whip mark appeared on its skin that could not be damaged by magic treasures.
"Keep going! Don't stop! If you don't finish in time, not only will the world not be able to tolerate you, but the Hungry Ghost realm will not tolerate you either! "
The ghost glanced past Li Qingshan through the Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell with a cold gaze, which made him feel like a snake had slithered past his back. He could not help but frown. No matter what the Hungry Ghost realm wanted to do, they were determined to obtain Little Ann. If he left him alone, he would definitely become a great problem in the future!
However, this was different from the war against the army of the Demon domain. The ghouls had already established themselves and had even cast down a formation. The incomplete tower of bone was not complete, but it had clearly begun to take effect, which made him feel extremely threatened.
The Gate of Hungry Ghosts below had been ripped to a size even larger than the original Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss. It was like the Hungry Ghost realm had opened its mouth and was about to swallow them.
… …
The mountainous Green Province cauldron was swallowed by the green, replaced by a towering tree. The dragon-like roots wrapped around the spirit turtle's body. Li Qingshan did not move at all.
The sun, moon, and stars changed. Time passed by bit by bit. The Green Province cauldron produced a soft sound. The roots that had penetrated deep into it grew vigorously, slowly widening the cracks and breaking them apart bit by bit.
Torrential rain fell from the sky, washing away the ground contaminated by demon qi. The remaining great buddha mountain stood in the grey rain. The rain gathered into a river and flowed down, wrapping around the great banyan tree.
Li Qingshan suddenly opened his eyes. His body gradually changed, releasing a vibrating force.
The Qingzhou Cauldron emits buzzing noises, which sound like that of a great bell.
Clang!
The Green Province cauldron shattered into millions of rainbow-colored dust particles, sweeping away the torrential rain and the thick, dark clouds.
For a moment, sunlight shone down, piercing through the gaps in the canopy. It shone resplendently.
The great banyan tree swayed its branches, and the scattered rainbow-colored dust gathered on every single leaf. It was like a rainbow divine tree, growing at a faster rate once again.
In a flash, Li Qingshan flew out from under the tree. He turned around and saw that the demon qi had just gushed out of the devil's den. The roots quickly spread and sealed the devil's den, digging deep into the ground. The tree grew taller and taller, looking like it could reach the sky!
At the same time, countless great banyan trees rose from the ground in various parts of Qingzhou, causing countless living beings to look up in shock.
The Banyan Tree King's aura became more vast and distant, surpassing that of ordinary so-called demons. It was like he was the representative of heaven and earth. And this was only the beginning. After refining the nine cauldrons, he would truly become the god of the nine provinces, the representative of the world's will.
Li Qingshan asked with a smile, "How does it feel to become the god of Qingzhou?"
"Not bad, or rather, very good!" said the Banyan Tree King.
"Can you borrow the power of heaven and earth to suppress the Gate of Hungry Ghosts?" asked Li Qingshan.
"No, my power can't enter it either. The white bone pagoda you mentioned seems to be completely shielded from the laws of heaven and earth. Unless it can be destroyed, it's absolutely impossible to suppress it." The Banyan Tree King also expressed his helplessness. "If you really want to suppress it, you'd better hurry. When the Gate of Hungry Ghosts is torn even bigger, it'll be too late."
