More than ten years had passed. Whether it was the Mortal World or the various voids, there had been huge changes.
Whether it was the cultivation of the elements or the research of the weapon spirits, the various forces were not slow after learning about it. Everyone fought to be the first to study and cultivate. However, based on the information gathered by Tang Shidao through the soul web and life web, the Mortal World was still one step behind. It was not that the void masters were stronger or more hardworking, but that the experts of the Mortal World stopped when they reached a certain level of research.
There were two reasons.
First, after achieving a certain effect, the experts who succeeded first began to actively display themselves, perform themselves, and promote themselves.
Because they became stars, they had to stop studying and cultivating.
Second, after a certain level of research, they began to feel lost and did not know how to proceed.
The path of the weapon spirits had provided him with several methods. However, after the experts of the Mortal World had studied all of them once, they had no new ideas. It was as if they could only provide as much as they wanted. They never thought about whether they could come up with something new. Under such circumstances, the research had to stop even if they did not want to. Without a new path, and without scholars who were willing to waste time studying it, the path of the weapon spirits was naturally suspended.
In terms of strength, the experts of the Mortal World still had the advantage.
Because they were stronger to begin with.
Moreover.
In terms of the application of the weapon spirits, their research and cultivation were all focused on "power", while the various voids were focused on "effect". The former only pursued combat power, while the latter pursued various effects and new paths that had not been discovered. Therefore, in the eyes of the experts of the Mortal World, they were "better" in this aspect, ahead of the lower world.
Whether they were short-sighted or not, the result was this.
Tang Shidao had asked Iron Cloud Zhai and Luo Wei before going to the Desolate World in the Mortal World. What else could the elders of the Mortal World take on the path of the weapon spirits.
Iron Cloud Zhai was very honest: they would not study it. However, if there were new research results in the Mortal World or the lower world, they would snatch them.
That was right.
They wanted to maintain the advantage of strength and use it to plunder everything.
Tang Shidao did not ask again.
He stayed for a while and made a large number of soul stones to sell so that more clans could obtain this material. Then, he summoned the battle shadow beside Yang Mo and officially went to the Desolate World in the Mortal World. This time, there was no one accompanying him. There was not a single ancestor spirit in the Alliance without War. Moreover, Tang Shidao did not want anyone to accompany him.
Everyone dispersed.
Luo Wei did not return to the Luo Clan. He knew that Luo Xiangyun would not tolerate him. However, he was a man of righteousness. Even if he hadn't returned for many years, he still had friends to protect him and live in seclusion.
Iron Cloud Zhai and Yang Mo remained in the Alliance without War.
They were all small fries, and the best thing for them to do was to stay and continue guiding the growth of the Void Elemental Soil Beast, the Golden Carp.
Because Tang Shidao hadn't been "righteously" eliminated by the "righteous path", no one would make a move on him at the moment. They didn't want to give Tang Shidao an excuse to get angry. Hearing that Tang Shidao was preparing to enter the Barren World in his previous life, countless Spirit Hunting Groups were on the move, preparing for a big show. It could be said that before Tang Shidao made his move, they had already started in advance.
During this period of time, there were also discussions among the major voids.
"The Human Emperor has become an Ancestor Soul."
"Yes, he's already one step ahead of us. However, wouldn't it be too risky to enter the Barren World in the previous life? Mr. Original Ancestor Turtle, do you know anything about the Barren World in the previous life? "
"No, I only know that it's the oldest Outer World."
"I do have some information that was provided by Mr. Original Ancestor. He said that the Barren World in the previous life was a place where bandits were rampant. It was also a place where only the weak and bandits were left. In that place, cruelty was the only truth, and there was no mercy to speak of. I don't know why the Human Emperor wants to go, but he must have something important to do. "An elder explained.
"Why are the Spirit Hunting Groups targeting the Human Emperor? Isn't it very dangerous to deal with the Human Emperor? Moreover, there might not be any benefits to winning. "Da Qianluo didn't quite understand.
"No, the benefits are great."
"Why?"
"Because of the Soul Stone." An elder said with certainty, and said, "The Soul Stone in the previous life has been sold at an extremely high price, but the demand still exceeds the supply. Someone once cultivated a giant Soul Stone and then broke it into small pieces to sell. The effect is similar, but the effect is very different. Most importantly, the cultivated Soul Stone fragments can be used, but they can't grow on their own. "
"Other than the ones created by the Human Emperor, the ones cultivated by others can't grow on their own?"
"Yes. Not only is the effect worse, but they can't grow. More importantly, the shattered Soul Stone may have been infused with souls, and no one knows if there are any unknown remnants. Therefore, the highest price is still the prototype. If the Spirit Hunting Groups can take down the Human Emperor, they can have a production machine. "After an elder finished speaking, everyone understood.
No wonder they still wanted to participate in such a dangerous hunting operation.
Money moved people's hearts.
The Spirit Hunting Groups in the previous life were also from the previous life, and they more or less had the greedy nature left behind. Moreover, the previous life's Secret World was a place where bandits reigned supreme, and greed was one of the essential qualities of bandits. Compared to danger, they cared more about profit.
The same topic was discussed and analyzed by the previous life's clans.
At this moment.
The Spirit Hunting Groups were asking for a huge sum of money.
The Righteous Sects were also asking for a huge sum of money.
The elders of the various clans were furious, but there was nothing they could do. At this moment, they also knew the intentions of the Spirit Hunting Groups and the Righteous Faction. They agreed to attack the Tang Shidao only because of the Soul Stone Producer, and their mission was secondary. However, the clan elders didn't want to do it themselves, so they had to pay a huge reward.
Because compared to the threat of the Human Emperor, the resources and Artifacts demanded were still within an acceptable range.
"Damn it, these guys better die together with the Human Emperor."
"We have people in the Righteous Faction, why did they ask for such a huge reward?"
"They usually want to scam more, it would be strange if they didn't take this opportunity to extort money."
"Alright, bear with it, as long as we can kill the Human Emperor."
"Entering a place like the previous life's Deserted World, and with the Spirit Hunting Groups, the Human Emperor can't come out again. Other than the Spirit Hunting Groups and the Righteous Faction, I also asked for reinforcements from the previous life's Deserted World with some friends. This time, the Human Emperor has to die even if he doesn't. "Yuan Sha's last words sounded like he had done something in advance. Because his ancient Artifact had fallen into the hands of Tang Shidao, he had to do something, or else he wouldn't have a chance to get it back.
At this moment.
On the other side, in the previous life's Deserted World.
Tang Shidao felt when he first set foot here: This is the range of the Great Depletion Spell … No, it's even more terrifying than the Depletion Spell.
At this moment.
He couldn't even use the Great Perfection of Infinite Magic Power well.
Standing on the ground of the Void Soil, Tang Shidao felt that there was a huge energy pool in the distant north, and it was constantly absorbing all the energy around it. The most shocking thing was that because of its existence, its absorption, and its distortion, the surrounding senses were all messed up. Originally, with his senses, he could see through thousands of planes with just a little Divine Thought. At the maximum, he could even vaguely distinguish a part of the Void.
However.
It was completely different here. After sensing the East, South, West, North, Up, and Down, he couldn't sense any further.
In other words.
At the maximum, he could only sense the distance of one Secret Spring. He couldn't forcibly pass through the Secret Spring to sense the environment and things behind it.
The Secret Spring was like an omnipotent black hole.
Energy, senses, information, everything was absorbed and distorted by it. At the same time, it was like a wall. Before you climbed over it, you couldn't know what was behind the wall. No matter how hard you tried, the maximum limit of your senses was the first Secret Spring in the surrounding area. After that, you could only sense it by flying over or breaking through it.
In the previous life, the Desolate World was different from the Dust World. Not all the soil here was Void Soil.
Most of it.
The stars were just ordinary materials. Because of the Void Soil's core, they could form a complete structure. However, this didn't mean it was safe. Because of the Secret Spring, nothing here was safe.
At this moment, Tang Shidao didn't think too much.
He sensed a little.
The closest place to it was a giant city built with red flame crystals.
"Stop, this is … Ah …"
The evil man blocked the way. Tang Shidao didn't respond at all. He just slapped him away. At this moment, the rest of the gang didn't dare to come forward. Instead, they retreated in panic. Some clever travelers took the opportunity to sneak in and save a toll.
Tang Shidao stopped slightly. It wasn't because someone was blocking the way, but because of another anomaly.
At this moment.
The evil man who was just slapped away hit the wall and blood splattered everywhere. He subconsciously used a healing spell to protect himself. However, there was a big problem … His healing spell was very ineffective. Moreover, the spell's energy was taken away in an instant and flowed to an unknown huge pillar in the center of the city.
Tang Shidao was right next to him. He could clearly sense that when the evil man was casting the spell, the spell was disrupted and didn't succeed.
After casting the spell, the energy was taken away and the effect couldn't be produced.
Even.
The evil man's wound was bleeding. Because the spell's effect didn't work, it was even more serious.
"No, wait … It's not like that. I was wrong … Help me, save me … I don't want to …" The evil man's "wound" couldn't be healed and blood kept flowing. At the same time, because he was casting the spell, a gap appeared in his magical energy storage and it kept flowing out.
At this moment, his companions only stayed away from him.
No one dared to approach.
In less than a few seconds, the evil man was like dried seaweed, losing all his energy.
However, this wasn't the end.
When his magical energy was drained, his blood also gushed out. It could be said that his "energy" and "life" were both lost, but the energy loss was faster. When his energy was emptied, his life was also lost faster. In less than twenty seconds, he was only left with a human skin and skeleton. Now, in this wreckage, Tang Shidao couldn't find anything "useful" even with the Great Life Technique.
This skeleton didn't even have a drop of life remaining.
Basically, it could be said that … if such a wreckage was left in the wild, even dogs wouldn't eat it. Even bacteria didn't bother to waste time.
At this moment.
Naturally, the evil men of the gang rushed over and quickly snatched the swords, armors, and scattered tools. As soon as they left, the onlookers rushed up again and took away the clothes. They didn't even leave behind the underwear. It was all gone. The people who came later didn't get anything, so they angrily kicked it aside. After that, no one looked at it anymore.
Tang Shidao looked back again.
At this time, the evil men blocking the road in front of the city were all half-bent, with a humble look on their faces.
They still didn't dare to get too close, for fear that Tang Shidao would be unhappy and slap them again.
Even.
The leader of the captains also handed over a handful of tolls with both hands … That's right, they didn't dare to accept it, but bowed and gave it away. Who knew how many times they whipped the civilians to receive so much. In short, they didn't dare to keep any and gave it all.
Tang Shidao ignored it.
Because.
The highest level of this group of people was not in the Saint Realm … No, it should be said that the highest level was less than a million magical energy.
More than 99% of the pedestrians on the road were mortals without magical energy.
A very small number of people with magical energy, they were all wearing beautiful clothes, sitting in very beautiful magic beast carriages, and their expressions were … sad. Tang Shidao entered the city and looked at the giant platform in the center of the city. He understood why they all had such expressions.
That was because these people were all sacrifices!
The giant pillar in the center of the city was the Secret Spring Stone Pillar.
