A small boat broke through the surface of the boundless blue lake. A man of medium build stood on the boat. His woven rush cape was old and his bamboo hat was tattered, hiding his true appearance.
"Who is this? He came from the depths of the blue lake. Could it be that he entered before us?" Many people were puzzled and doubtful.
The lake was clear and crystalline. The small boat slowed down and slowly approached. The man threw down the bamboo pole and stood with his hands behind his back. Unfortunately, they still couldn't see his face.
At this moment, the dozen or so great figures were the first to feel that something was wrong. The Central Province Divine Dynasty's Emperor Lord, South Mountains' Demon Lord and War Lord, Western Desert's divine monk were all shaken and their expressions changed.
"Who are you?" A peerless Emperor Lord asked. He had already lived for almost three thousand years and looked down on the world, but at this moment, he felt a horrified feeling.
On the bamboo raft, the man remained unmoved. He still kept his hands behind his back and silently urged the boat forward. Nothing in the outside world could move his heart.
"Who exactly are you? My Emperor Lord is talking to you. Did you hear him?" An old man came forward. His hair and beard were all white. He was a supreme elder level expert.
"Pop!"
The man on the small boat looked over coldly. He raised his hand and pointed forward. Blood blossomed from the old man's forehead and he immediately fell into the lake, dying the blue water red.
"Hua!"
Everyone was in an uproar. Who was this person? He was so daring, killing someone in front of an old Emperor Lord. He was truly arrogant to the extreme.
"Madman!" A half-step almighty walked on the waves and took large strides forward. He opened his mouth and spat out a cauldron that pressed down like a black mountain.
"Pa!"
The cauldron was shattered by the man in the straw raincoat on the small boat with a single tap of his finger. The broken pieces of the cauldron fell into the lake like sand.
"A weapon interwoven with dao and truth was easily shattered by someone just like that. This person is too powerful. What kind of background does he have?!" Everyone was terrified and their hair and bones went cold.
A cry rang out. The half-step almighty couldn't help but fly forward. He stepped on the surface of the lake, splashing water everywhere. One could see that he was struggling violently, but he couldn't resist and was sucked onto the small boat.
The man in the straw raincoat reached out with one hand and grabbed him by the neck. His other hand was still behind his back. Everything was very casual.
"Ah …" The great step powerhouse cried out in fear as if he had encountered the most terrifying thing in his life. His hands and feet left the ground as he struggled in midair.
"Pu!"
With a soft sound, the half-step powerful being's head shattered. Blood and brain matter flowed out at the same time, soaking into that powerful arm. However, the man in the raincoat did not feel any disgust at all.
Plop!
He gently loosened his grip, and the corpse fell into the lake, dying a large area of the water red. The headless corpse floated in the lake, and no one dared to look at it directly.
Now, no one could remain calm. They all backed up. What kind of person was this, strangling a half step supreme being to death with a single hand. His methods were shocking!
"He's that existence from the Ancient Tomb, and he's here again …"
Someone cried out in fright, finally recognizing who it was. It was the mysterious person who had appeared after Ye Fan shot down the eighteen stone mountains.
However, even now, no one realized that this was the will of a deity. Not everyone was like Duan De and the old blind man, their knowledge so varied.
The small boat broke through the water. Its speed wasn't fast, but it was intimidating. The mysterious male stood there with his hands behind his back. His sleeves were dyed in blood and brain matter, but he didn't seem to care at all.
Swoosh!
In the heavens, an emperor lord from Central Continent and South Ridge's war lord took action at the same time. They each formed a magical imprint and pressed downwards.
Hong!
Heaven and earth erupted. Blue water overflowed into the heavens. They respectively produced a great imprint and a great bell. They were formed from divine force and had innate patterns interweaved on them.
"Central Emperor Imprint!"
"Southern Demonic Bell!"
Everyone cried out in alarm. Even though it was hurriedly struck out, it was still constructed from the natural laws of an unmatched expert. It was incomparably terrifying and could easily kill ordinary powerful beings.
"Chi!" "Chi!"
The divine will raised its head and stood there with its hands behind its back. It didn't make any other movements. Two streaks of demonic light shot out from its eyes, drawing out a long trajectory. It was cold and beautiful.
Dang!
In the sky, the Southern Demonic Bell rumbled, and then it quickly cracked apart. An enormous black hole was blasted open, and then it disappeared without a trace.
Kacha!
The Central Emperor Imprint was like this as well. Streak after streak of cracks appeared, as if a bone had been bitten by a wild dog. It broke apart and shattered, disappearing into nothingness in the blink of an eye.
"Who is he? What kind of person is he exactly?!" Everyone cried out in alarm.
"Could it be that the Eastern Wasteland's mad elder came?" There were some who suspected that there was only this type of saint in the present world. Otherwise, who else would have this type of method?
Just the two streaks of light that swept out from its eyes destroyed the natural laws and order created by two peak level figures. It was just too horrifying.
"Divine will … he is a divine will!" Finally, an old monk from the Western Desert recognized what kind of creature it was. His white eyebrows moved as he chanted buddhist scriptures.
"Divine will?!" Many people were confused. However, those who understood all had pale faces and shivers run through their bodies.
"How could there be something like this in this world?" Central Continent's four exceptional emperor lords were all moved. They couldn't help but back up. They never expected to see this type of creature.
"Did a deity really appear in this world? Otherwise, how could a divine will be born?" The Southern Mountains War Lord didn't know if he was happy or worried.
At this moment, the other cultivators finally understood what a divine will was. This was a type of creature that was born after an ancient deity died. It could be called a devil.
"Let's see what methods they have to break through it …" Duan De backed up as if he didn't care.
The old blind man tossed out another tortoise shell and performed a divination on the lake's surface. "Head east, then south, the most auspicious."
The barbarian didn't believe this swindler from the bottom of his heart. However, when he saw Ye Fan and Jue Youqing follow him, he also followed.
Hong!
As soon as they left, the raincoat male on the small boat released dark light like a black sun. It was incomparably terrifying, and then it transformed into a black hole.
"Ah …"
At this moment, it was unknown just how many people cried out in alarm. They couldn't help but fly forward, but their bodies split apart halfway. The small boat's black hole devoured everything.
Heads, broken limbs, and torsos were dripping with blood, covering the sky. This was simply a scene from hell on earth. In a split second, over a hundred people were torn apart, and all of them entered the black hole!
The dark light receded, and the black abyss disappeared. The divine will appeared on the small boat again. There were quite a few bloodstains between his lips and teeth, and there were even some small white bones on his clothes.
"He swallowed over a hundred people in one gulp!"
Many people almost fell limp onto the ground. These were all experts above the Dragon Transformation Realm, and not a single one of them was weak. In the end, they were all swallowed in one gulp.
"There really were deities in the past! He is a devil born after the death of a deity!"
This was a supreme devil. He stood here with an unrivalled momentum. No one could contend against him, and going up would only result in death.
After killing over a hundred experts in one go, everyone was stunned. Even the supreme experts became silent, and they all felt a chill.
"Unless the crazy old man comes or invites a few archaic kings, no one will be able to contend against him!"
Unfortunately, the crazy old man's whereabouts were unknown, and no one knew where he went. As for the archaic kings, there was no need to even think about them. Those ancient creatures were similarly a great threat.
"Amitabha Buddha." An old monk from the Western Desert chanted the name of an ancient emperor. He stood out and said, "My buddha is merciful. In the past, an ancient buddha had encountered the divine will, and he left behind a method to subdue the devil."
Everyone was shocked. The divine will the old monk spoke of was incomparably mysterious and terrifying. It had always been an existence of legends, yet there were actually people who had encountered it before.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh in admiration. The Western Desert's inheritance was ancient, and it was broad and profound. An ancient buddha had actually subdued this supreme devil.
"Divine monk, hurry up and use the method to subdue this devil!" An emperor urged.
"We need to work together and chant our buddha's rebirth mantra together." The old monk spoke.
"Heng!"
A cold snort sounded. This was the first time this devil had spoken, and it made everyone feel as if they had fallen into an icehouse. Cold air gushed out from their pores, and their bodies began to tremble.
This type of voice sounded as if it came from the depths of hell. It made people's souls tremble with fear!
"Namo Amitabhaya, Dota Jia Duo Ye, Duo Di Ye Ta, Amitabha …"
At this time, the divine monk from the Western Region began to chant. He sat cross-legged in the air with a dignified appearance. Buddhist light curled up behind him, and it was as if an ancient buddha had been reborn.
"Everyone, chant together to subdue the devil!" An emperor shouted.
"Pull out all negative karma, and rebirth in the pure land of dharani …" Everyone chanted together, and the rebirth mantra resounded throughout the great lake.
One could clearly see light flying out from everyone's body. They linked together and pressed down on the devil.
This devil didn't take action, and it was clear that he wanted to resist the rebirth mantra. He revealed a cold smile, and even though he was in human form, he looked incomparably sinister.
"The buddhist divine mantra is indeed extraordinary. It can really stop that devil!" Dongfang Ye was shocked.
On the side, Feeling Sentient held a Bodhi branch with a compassionate expression. Buddhist light shone from his mouth as he chanted another type of ancient scripture. It was precisely the Great Compassion Mantra. His voice wasn't loud, but it resounded between heaven and earth.
She descended like a Bodhisattva. Her clothes were as white as snow, and the golden lotus imprint between her brows shot out streaks of auspicious light. It combined with the rebirth mantra and made the buddhist sound even greater.
Not far away, the devil's body trembled. His eyes shot out two streaks of cold light without the slightest bit of human emotion. The buddhist light pushed the small boat away.
"The ancient buddhist scriptures are truly wondrous …" Duan De was astonished. He didn't think that he could truly suppress that devil.
Everyone had endless potential. There were some scriptures in the buddhist scriptures that could allow ordinary people to display some special divine abilities. The rebirth mantra was one of them. When the people of the world worked together, they could eliminate gods and devils.
However, if it was used in a single confrontation, it would be a bit weak. It needed to be supplemented by other ancient scriptures in order to strengthen it.
"Does the Dao Gate not have similar ancient scriptures? If there were divine texts, wouldn't it be even better if we chanted them together?" Ye Fan said to himself.
"Humph!" The old blind man didn't like hearing this. He shot him a sidelong glance and said, "The Dao Gate doesn't like to create sects. Today, I will also chant one to subdue the devil together. "
"Don't tell me you are going to chant a fortune-telling technique?" Dongfang Ye didn't believe this swindler and always felt that he was a swindler.
"Accumulating Yang to become a god, there is form within the god. The form is born from the sun, the sun is born from the moon. Accumulating yin to form, there is spirit within the form … "The old blind man sat on the lake surface and chanted the scriptures. Immediately, a group of people couldn't help but chant along with him.
The old man was quite sharp. He understood the meaning of the scripture after hearing it. He wanted to transform this devil that was born from yin. Dao light flowed on his body, making him look like a golden body dao ancestor.
"The origin of the heart is clear, one illumination destroys everything. The battle of qi is unyielding, ten thousand senses in one breath. Observing all things with one heart … "The old blind man sat in the void and became more and more indistinct. It was as if he was transmitting his voice from outside the world.
"This is the legendary expiation scripture!" The expressions of many supreme experts changed. They were all extremely astonished.
The expiation scripture wasn't an ancient scripture of the great human emperor, but it also had extraordinary uses. Even though its fighting strength wasn't great, it could purify all living things.
When the expiation scripture appeared, more and more people joined in and chanted together. There seemed to be an indescribable power drawn over from the entire world.
"Roar …"
That devil let out a loud roar. He turned into a streak of black light and disappeared from his original location. The buddhist light and this indescribable power naturally restrained him.
"Everyone, don't stop. Otherwise, everyone will die here. This devil can kill his way back at any time." A supreme expert transmitted his voice.
In fact, there was no need for him to say this. Everyone already couldn't stop. Once the expiation scripture appeared, even the rebirth incantation was somewhat suppressed. When two scriptures were chanted at the same time, the latent divine energy within everyone's body rushed out endlessly. It was difficult to stop.
This great lake was bright and resplendent. Many people were immersed in a strange state as they continuously chanted scriptures.
"Turns out everyone has such powerful and terrifying divine energy …" Ye Fan was in a daze. He didn't sink into it.
Swoosh!
At this time, those supreme experts all moved. They rushed up the heavenly stairway and headed towards the heavenly passage. They weren't immersed in the expiation scripture either.
"Motherf * cker, these old fellows let others chant scriptures while they themselves went to seize the great emperor's divine treasury." Dongfang Ye was indignant.
"We can't fly up." Ye Fan frowned. At this time, only the supreme experts weren't shackled and could fly. The others couldn't climb the heavenly stairway.
At this time, the blind old man opened his eyes and calmly withdrew from the strange state of chanting scriptures. He casually divined and the tortoise shell made a sound.
"We can also go up. It all fell on him." After divining, he pointed at Duan De.
Fatty Duan cursed and said, "You old man, you only know how to swindle and talk nonsense."
"Damn fatty, don't dawdle. If you go one step later, everything will be snatched away!" The blind old man glared. It was a far cry from the ethereal temperament he had when he was chanting scriptures just now.
"You swindler!" Fatty Duan's eyebrows flashed brilliantly. A star river flew out and hung on the heavenly stairway, carrying them up calmly.
"This … is this the treasure of the legendary Celestial River Daoist? But he died 20,000 years ago. This divine object of an invincible king was buried underground with him." The blind old man's eyes widened and said, "You actually stole the ancient tomb of the Celestial River King?"
"Don't stare at me. I accidentally fell into a hole and picked it up." Duan De felt a little guilty and then indignantly said, "This old man's treasures were all stolen by some bastard. Now, I'm seriously lacking treasures."
Ye Fan, "…"
The barbarian, "…"
Fatty Duan cursed again and again, but the two of them didn't dare to say anything. They let the victim keep cursing for fear that he would notice.
They finally climbed the heavenly stairway and walked up into the sky, arriving at a place where all things were born.
Here, the Spirit Qi was like water, almost liquefied. Spirit herbs were everywhere, and vegetation was abundant. Unexpectedly, there was a pure Origin forming, and the process could be clearly seen.
"This is an Archaic Heaven and Earth!" The few of them were all shocked.
"Be careful. Since there is a deity's consciousness, this place is most likely an ancient land where a deity is buried." The blind old man reminded.
"Caw …" With a cry, a golden light streaked across the sky.
"That's … a three-legged Golden Crow flew over!"
At the same time, Ye Fan's expression changed. He saw Grand Preceptor Xiao and Xiao Zhi flying over the mountains in the distance.
"This is a world within a world. It's very small, but not very big. We must find the ancient coffin where the deity is buried!" Duan De gritted his teeth.
