Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew over from the distant mountains, filling the Blaze Hall and ruffling the clothes of the true disciples. It eased the heavy atmosphere.
"This gust of wind is so strange."
"Who is it?"
"That direction … it might be a disciple of the Flying Star valley."
The true disciples discussed. All the generals were in Black Cloud City now, so it was impossible for them to undergo the tribulation so far away.
The formal disciples of the sect were not recruited for this battle. They were all seeds of the future true disciples. They would not be of much help to the battle, so there was no need for them to "sacrifice" themselves.
It was possible to say that even if all the true disciples here were dead, they could still produce a few true disciples with the vast amount of resources left over.
"Did they succeed?"
"How many heavenly tribulations did they undergo? I don't think even five heavenly tribulations caused such a great disturbance."
"Stop joking. Do you think they'll undergo the tribulation of a human immortal in the wilderness or on the edge of a battlefield?"
"If that's the case, then they'll undergo the tribulation of a human emperor in the wilderness or on the edge of a battlefield?"
"That … might be a demonfolk."
"A demonfolk has come to the human realm to undergo a tribulation? Is there something wrong with his head? "
They discussed randomly, but they were actually unable to guess the identity of the person undergoing the tribulation. However, a great battle was imminent, so no one would calculate it seriously. They were just using it as a pretext to relax.
Ruan Yaozhu suddenly thought of someone. "Senior brother Li, where's junior brother Qingshan?"
"Junior sister Ruan, what time is it now?"
Lin Kexin was very impatient. She was truly a little frightened. She no longer behaved as casually as she did at the beginning.
If it was just Li Liehuo saying that, it could be described as an alarmist, but even "old people" like Dai Mengfan and Le Tian were "alarmist". The situation might really be very bad.
At a time like this, who would still care about a formal disciple, no matter how much of a genius he was? What was the point now?
However, Li Liehuo answered the question very seriously, "I received news from the Black-furred Skygazing Roar that his yin spirit left his body to investigate Coldblood Pass with junior sister Chao. His whereabouts are still unknown."
Reaching there. He frowned and sank into his thoughts. Suddenly, he said, "No, that's impossible. How long has it been since he passed the fourth heavenly tribulation? "
The direct disciples looked at each other in disbelief. Could it be that Li Liehuo was worried that the one going through the tribulation was Li Qingshan?
Wan Jianfeng was even more certain that he was under too much pressure and was delirious.
Ruan Yaozhu bit her lips and lowered her head in silence. However, there was an inexplicable sense of self-confidence. He must still be alive, he must be!
This strange gust of wind came and went quickly, and the topic returned to the war. Very quickly, they fell into a state of anxiety.
Le Tian smiled and said, "We can't waste any more time. Senior Brother, please give the order quickly." He glanced at Wan Jianfeng and said, "There are some things that can't be explained."
Li Liehuo nodded in understanding. Wan Jianfeng flicked his sword and said, "That's right."
…
"I'm still alive?"
Li Qingshan returned to his human form and lay quietly among the mountains as he spoke with a smile.
The wind blew away the tribulation clouds. The clear blue sky was almost transparent.
This heavenly tribulation was too fierce, and the Five Yin Demons were even more difficult to deal with. When the "Thinking Demon" appeared, his mind was filled with distracting thoughts, and the various transformations immediately showed signs of splitting. Fortunately, the "Small World" had been completely stabilized, so it did not fall apart.
And the "Walking Demon" made him lose control of his body, and he could not control his actions. He was almost beheaded by the tribulation lightning, and there was still a "big mouth" on his neck that kept vomiting blood.
The last "Consciousness Demon" was the most terrifying, and it directly distorted his consciousness. It made him doubt everything that he had persevered in, "Brother Bull, what Nine Heavens, are they really that important? I might as well live a carefree life … "
If he really wavered, even if he succeeded in passing the tribulation, his mind would change greatly, and he would no longer be the original Li Qingshan.
He might very well enter the demonic domain immediately, and choose to swallow the Black Sun Demon Heart to obtain even greater power.
The result would probably be as Qian Rongzhi predicted, he would not be recognized by the demonic domain, and finally suffer the backlash of power, and die a horrible death. If the "legendary person" could not become a legend, his fate would probably be worse than a mortal's.
Li Qingshan did not know any of this, but he understood that the choice of path had always been the most important, as well as the most terrifying.
Once he made the wrong choice, even if he had a moment of success, he could not avoid a miserable fate in the end.
Just think about it. Did many cultivators lose their right to become a human immortal the moment they successfully underwent the tribulation and became human emperors?
Only when their lifespans ran out and they died would they truly regret their choice in the past. That was why it was said, "Bodhisattvas fear karma, while all living beings fear karma."
Fortunately, after experiencing the test of "lust and desire" earlier, his will had become even more resolute, allowing him to make it through this dangerous journey.
After subduing the Five Yin Demons, he was heavily injured and on the verge of death. He immediately counterattacked, using the Ape Demon's abilities to destroy the huge sword. Afterwards, he kicked up a great wind and dispersed the tribulation clouds.
Little Ann nodded with a smile. "Yeah, you're still alive!" He touched his forehead. "Do you want to rest?"
Li Qingshan shook his head with a smile. "No need. The demonfolk are about to reach Black Cloud City! I don't think Li Liehuo will be able to stop them. "
The earth rumbled and shook, and hot magma gushed out from the cracked ground.
The battle had destroyed the earth's crust. Without Li Qingshan's suppression, it immediately erupted.
Among the mountains, a volcano rose up slowly. Li Qingshan lay on the crater of the volcano and smiled. "Perfect timing."
He converted the last of his strength into the Phoenix Transformation before unleashing the final "Phoenix's Nirvāṇa". The phoenix danced and spun in the flames, finally turning into a phoenix egg.
Before long, there was a crack, and a crack appeared. The infant Li Qingshan lay in the egg quietly.
Little Ann used the Three Burial Robes as a cloth, wrapping him up layer by layer and holding him gently in her arms.
"Oi, is there a need to do this?" Li Qingshan was both exasperated and amused. It was not like he was a real infant, yet all he could produce was a series of squeaks. His limbs were powerless, unable to resist at all. All he could do was grab a strand of her hair.
Little Ann's eyes narrowed as she smiled. She kissed him on the cheek and rocked him gently. She actually began to sing a lullaby.
Li Qingshan did his best to glare at her, but he discovered helplessly that he actually began to feel sleepy.
Little Ann pinched his cheeks and smiled. "Go to sleep, go to sleep. I'll take care of you."
"Alright, alright. You win." Li Qingshan closed his eyes helplessly and sank into a deep dream very soon.
The pale-white flames in Little Ann's eyes flickered, illuminating many scenes from five hundred kilometers away.
The Demon domain's army stretched for several hundred kilometers, crawling across the ground. The vanguard had already ventured deep into the mortal realm, while the rear had yet to emerge from Coldblood Pass. Even without any sacrifices, just the aura they naturally gave off was enough to change the borders of two regions.
Recently, when Li Qingshan was still practising the Spirit Turtle Transformation in the great marsh, he discovered the Demon domain's army with the Profound Light Illuminates All.
However, he had to focus on cultivation, so he could not observe at all times. As a result, he could only stop using the ability. Fortunately, Little Ann was present. She scattered all the Skull Prayer Beads, turning them into Skeleton Demons that monitored the advance of the Demon domain from afar.
They had all become very miniature, no larger than a prayer bead. They did not give off any aura at all, making them extremely suitable as scouts.
A Skeleton Demon raised its head in the wild grass. All it saw was a streak of light shooting over. Wan Jianfeng rode on his sword, overlooking the advancing demonfolk army.
"Hmph, they can't even look out for each other like this. Aren't they just at my mercy? Li Liehuo is far too cowardly. There's no need for him to clash with the Demon King at all. With just me and my sword, I can kill as many as they come. The demonfolk will never be able to push their territory to Black Cloud city. I've rendered a great service. Don't tell me that the position of first senior brother can be taken by Li Liehuo and Chao Tianjiao, but I, Wan Jianfeng, can't take it? "
He swung his sword suddenly, and a streak of light three hundred meters long whistled towards the demonfolk army on the ground!
However, something that left Wan Jianfeng dumbfounded happened.
The streak of light flew through the air and suddenly shrank. In the blink of an eye, it shrank again.
Little Ann saw this and knew that this direct disciple had probably never been to the battlefield of the Demon domain before.
The demonfolk were not venturing in alone. Instead, they were expanding the Demon domain as they marched.
In other words, there was still a border beyond the route the army took. The laws of the mortal realm and the Demon domain intersected, so all techniques would be greatly suppressed.
However, after passing through this region, they would essentially enter the Demon domain. The techniques of human cultivators would be weakened by the laws of the Demon domain once more.
That was not all. Although the formation of the demonfolk army basically could not be regarded as a military formation, they still possessed a faint military aura. If they had not been weakened twice before, they would not have been able to stop the streak of light at all. It was different now. He swung the streak of light again without holding back at all.
In the end, it was less than thirty meters long, landing in the middle of the army and killing many demonfolk. However, compared to the entire army of the Demon domain, it was nothing.
The shaman priests immediately packed away their weapons and armour before carefully chopping up the corpses, directly scattering them along the route. Very soon, they were trampled into bloody mud and dust, becoming a small interlude in this bloody march. They used the flesh and blood of demonfolk to solidify their territory.
After this strike, not a single person in the demonfolk army responded. Since the twelve Demon Kings had not done anything or said anything, the other Demon Emperors and Demon Kings did not want to be targeted by a powerful sword cultivator on the battlefield either.
There was even less of a reason for the other demonfolk to stand out. No matter how restricted they were by the laws of the world, it would still be very easy for Wan Jianfeng to kill them. No one wanted to be trampled into bloody mud and dust.
As a result, the army did not stop at all. Like a colossal monster, they did not even realise they had been bitten by a bug on the side of the road.
Wan Jianfeng had never encountered something so good in his life. No matter how he killed, the enemy actually did not fight back. They did not even make a sound. However, his hand that gripped his sword trembled gently. If he continued killing like this, just when would he be able to kill off all the demonfolk?
If the demonfolk army pushed to Black Cloud city and cast down the Twelve Citadel Demon Formation of the Ominous, how would he deal with them? If he hid in the city and used techniques, he would only be able to kill the weakest demonfolk. He might not even be able to kill Demon Kings.
The powerful human emperor and fearless sword cultivator was shocked by the cruelty and absurdity of this war.
He could not help but ask himself, "Can we really defend Black Cloud city with only half of us dead?"
