"Forget it. Since you guys can't throw away your dignity, I'll take the lead." An old man with a huge beard stroked his beard and walked out.
"I'm an old man, so I'll take the lead for you youngsters." He said with a righteous look, as if he was sacrificing himself to help everyone.
Everyone looked at him. They were all stunned by his shamelessness.
"How shameless." The members who didn't surrender cursed in their hearts.
"You make it sound so soul-stirring. Isn't it just surrendering to the other party? I dare to say it and do it." You Xing walked out from the group with a look of disdain towards his words.
After saying that, he strode over and did not hide his thoughts at all.
Although he was surrendering to the other party as well, his method was satisfying.
Both of them were heavyweights. Both of them were early-stage Grand Heavenly. No matter where they went, they would be valued. The more of such people, the better.
The Asura leader's eyes were wide open as he accompanied them personally. Only when their names were merged into the banner did he calm down completely.
Everything was difficult at the beginning. The more arrangements given to him by the higher-ups, the better, especially the high-end combat strength.
As long as he signed his name, he would serve the Asura people for all eternity. The few families behind were eyeing him covetously, and everyone wanted more power.
This way, he would be able to contribute more.
Until the time limit was up, a few more Grand Heavenly came. Although the highest was only mid-stage Grand Heavenly, he had always been eyeing the pinnacle Grand Heavenly. If she came as well, he would be rich.
Although she didn't come in the end, he was disappointed. That kind of person wasn't someone who could be threatened with life or death.
Just this alone was enough to make him grin. At first, he thought there were only a few, but the number exceeded his expectations. Almost half of the Grand Heavenly came. It seemed like the Old Ancestor's reputation was spread far and wide.
The giant banner slowly shrunk and returned to his hand. Then, he led a group of people and disappeared into the distance.
"Old Xiong, where's Lord Divine Bird? Why haven't I seen her for the past few days?" A Grand Heavenly asked. In the past, the Divine Bird would actively participate in these activities. However, she was nowhere to be seen these few days.
"She has something to do. The district has made preparations. Don't worry, the next crucial moment." Elder Xiong looked around. There were at most a third of them, but most of them had higher combat strength.
Those with low cultivation bases knew that they wouldn't be able to hold on until the future, so they all surrendered.
He looked into the distance worriedly, wondering how she was doing.
Far away from here, a sparrow was walking with a man.
Along the way, the birds would stop from time to time to observe some places.
"Let's do it here." The bird flew around and finally chose this place.
"Do you remember what I told you? If I'm not mistaken, the green ball that I've transformed into should appear." The bird continued to speak. "Don't forget to bring it with you."
"I know. Don't worry. My ears have grown calluses all this time. I will definitely get it done." The young man had a helpless look on his face.
It has been three days, and he's told me about it whenever he's free. I'm a advanced-stage Golden Immortal at any rate, so how could I possibly forget it in the blink of an eye?
"I'm not afraid that you'll forget. My life is in your hands. I can't be careless." The bird looked in Elder Xiong's direction one last time and said with dissatisfaction.
"Okay, okay, okay. I got it. Hurry up. The Old Ancestor is here. I really can't do anything." The young man spread out his hands and said to her.
The bird didn't say anything else. She knew that time was of the essence and the Old Ancestor could come at any time.
She stopped on the ground with her eyes closed. Her entire body was enveloped in a golden flame, making it impossible for others to see what was inside.
Gradually, the flame burned more and more fiercely. It reached a height of a few dozen feet before slowly shrinking. The flame also slowly turned from golden to light yellow.
When the flame completely disappeared, there was only a golden egg on the ground. It was only the size of a bun and it slowly floated on the ground.
The young man sighed. He didn't know what to do in the future, but he had to do what he had to do first.
He took out a large amount of green liquid and started to pour it from the place where it disappeared. He did this for a total of 24 hours. A huge amount of liquid fell on the ground and was all absorbed by the egg below. Not a single bit was wasted.
The young man didn't go far. He directly transformed into his original form, a snake, and coiled around a nearby tree.
He retracted his aura and laid there quietly. He didn't breathe at all, as if he was already dead.
After the Shura people left, those people all huddled there, waiting for their last chance in fear.
Everyone comforted each other and looked at Elder Xiong from time to time. They wanted to get further instructions from him. However, Elder Xiong and the group of people also stood there silently, waiting for the final result.
For an entire month, nothing had happened. Everyone's expressions were somewhat unnatural. These days, every day had been torturous.
It was as if the threat from before was just to scare them and that kind of situation wouldn't happen.
But they were worried that if they went down a little bit, they would find that the sky of the entire world was changing.
Everyone could feel the aura that they couldn't find. It was as if someone was coming.
The fog all turned blood red and a murderous aura condensed in the air.
Some people who didn't have enough mental strength felt as if they were being stared at by a hungry wolf. They trembled and a few Sky Immortals even fell to the ground.
Some monsters had no choice but to transform back into their original forms to resist the invisible pressure in the air.
"He's coming." Elder Xiong muttered to himself. It seemed like he was talking to himself, but it also seemed like he was talking to others.
This kind of change would only happen with the arrival of one person.
The ancestor of the Shura Clan had arrived.
A blood-red cloud came whistling from the sky and covered the sky above them. The entire world could feel it.
Suddenly, the blood that filled the sky receded, and a familiar figure stood in the air.
His body was covered in a thick blood-red color but he didn't give off any aura. He was just like an ordinary person.
His cold, blood-red eyes looked down at everyone below. Everyone, except for Elder Xiong, felt as if an ancient crocodile was standing on top of them and laughing at them the moment his gaze landed on them.
They felt as if they had entered a world of ice. They felt as if they were frozen.
"You're preparing to deal with us traitors." Elder Xiong looked up without fear and said loudly. He purposely emphasized his last words.
That figure then retracted his gaze and looked at Elder Xiong.
The people below all gasped for breath. In just a few seconds, some people felt as if they were about to collapse.
Just a casual glance from him was enough to cause such an impact. It was too terrifying.
"Hehe, no matter what, you're all my test subjects. You can continue to be my test subjects from now on." He didn't go up to show off his power. He sounded like he was in a good mood and had the intention of letting them go.
However, before he finished, he waved his hand and a dirt-colored pocket appeared in the air. It was inconspicuous but there was a terrifying suction force inside.
Before anyone below could react, they were all sucked in.
No matter who it was, when they got close to the front of the pocket, they all turned into mini humans.
Jin Xian, who used to be high and mighty, was like a defenseless mortal who surrendered without any resistance.
Only the Shuras below could resist a little. However, those in the early stages couldn't control their footsteps and were slowly moving towards the pocket.
After 15 minutes, other than Elder Xiong, there was no one else in the area, including Big Luo.
No matter who it was, they didn't last long before they were all sucked in.
However, Elder Xiong couldn't feel the wind. It was as if it had nothing to do with him.
Everyone disappeared in front of him, leaving behind only an empty space.
He ignored Elder Xiong and reached out his hand. A will came from the entire world. As long as there were signs of life, anyone who was outside would find themselves here in the next second.
Looking at the terrifying figure above them, although they had never seen him before, judging by his power, who else could it be other than the Old Master?
"Old Master, I'm willing to surrender. Please give me a chance to turn over a new leaf." Some of the ninjas knelt down and begged.
They hoped that the other party would give them a way out, even if they had to be puppets.
As for a snake in the distance, after sensing the will of the world, its skin started to crack. The aura that was initially faintly discernible could no longer be felt.
Even if you looked at it with your own eyes, it was just a dead snake.
When the Old Master heard their words, he sneered but didn't say anything. These ants didn't even bother to talk to him. An invisible barrier appeared around the area.
A few people with quick reactions realized that something was wrong and ran again. They felt that they were about to make it to the forest ahead.
If that was the case, the Old Master might not catch them alone.
Before the joy of escaping appeared on his face, he felt that he had crashed into a wall. He fell to the ground dizzily.
He got up again unwillingly but found that there was a light screen in front of him. When he turned around, he saw that there was nothing around him. Knowing that he couldn't escape, he fell to the ground in despair.
Now, everyone was trapped here by the Old Master.
"Elder Xiong, save us. We are willing to turn over a new leaf. We are willing to surrender." Some people cried and begged Elder Xiong for help, hoping that Elder Xiong would help them.
Seeing that Elder Xiong was ignoring them, some people felt that their lives were hopeless and started to scold Elder Xiong, saying that he didn't save them and didn't accompany them.
The ugliness of life was reflected here.
The Old Master didn't care about what these people were thinking. He threw out a transparent crystal ball.
The moment it appeared, it shot into the sky and disappeared into the eyes of the people below.
But Elder Xiong knew that the crystal ball had entered the eyes of the sky.
Thinking of their fates, Elder Xiong's eyes revealed a trace of sadness. He couldn't even control his own fate, so how could he control others?
The people below saw the look in Elder Xiong's eyes and couldn't help but panic. Was there really no other way?
Everyone knew that it was a moment of life and death. Some people started to kneel and beg Elder Xiong to plead for them.
More than half of them knelt on the ground and cried loudly. They kept begging Elder Xiong to help, completely forgetting that some of them were scolding Elder Xiong just a moment ago.
Elder Xiong turned his head and didn't look at them.
They didn't despair for too long. The crystal ball flew down from the sky again.
At this time, it was surrounded by a thick layer of pink fog. Even its original transparent color had turned dark purple.
The Old Master casually pointed and the crystal ball started to fly down. Midway, it suddenly exploded and turned into thousands of small beads that flew down.
Every bead was aimed at everyone's forehead. No matter how they dodged or activated their defenses, even if their faces were stuck to the ground.
The beads accurately stuck to their foreheads and then fixed there.
Wisps of purple fog slowly seeped in. Everyone started to wail and howl. They rolled on the ground in pain as if they were suffering unbearable pain.
Many people tried to pull it off, but it was connected to the skull. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't pull it off.
Their faces were badly mutilated, and some of them even had their eyeballs gouged out.
Some people couldn't bear the pain and directly committed suicide to relieve themselves of the pain.
Even Elder Xiong couldn't bear to see this scene. The Old Master was expressionless. He didn't think it was cruel at all. He was already used to it.
Soon, a different change happened. The bead on his head had completely disappeared. It was as if it had merged into his head.
That person's eyes turned from black to purple. After standing up, he stood there in a daze and didn't move at all.
Then, one by one, they stopped struggling and stood there with their heads lowered.
In the end, there were people like that in front of Elder Xiong. Some of them were still bleeding, but they seemed to have lost consciousness.
"How is it, my puppets? All their memories have been erased. As long as I give the order, they will follow my order and die."
The Old Master's lips curled into a cruel smile. He was satisfied with his work.
"Hmph, you cruel fellow. You will die a horrible death sooner or later." Elder Xiong wasn't afraid of him, even if the other party could easily kill him now.
"You don't have to worry about that. Even a Saint can't take my life." If the Blood Sea didn't dry up, he was an invincible existence. In the Blood Sea, he dared to fight with a Saint.
Of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to provoke them. If he provoked them, no matter how big the Blood Sea was, it would be his death.
"How do you think I should deal with you?" He really couldn't bear to kill this white bear. She had a super rare bloodline. There probably wasn't a second one in the world.
But he couldn't let her stay here. He couldn't convert her, so he could only trap her.
He needed to modify this place and keep all these puppets in another treasure.
Now, there were only two living beings in this space.
He couldn't think of anything at the moment. He didn't care about her and started to modify this space right in front of her.
He closed his eyes and started to wave his hands. Dots of light shot out from his fingers.
Those dots of light fell into the ground. Mountains rose from the ground. Some were high and some were low.
At the same time, a ray of light fell from the sky. It didn't dissipate for a long time and moved back and forth on the ground.
This world was filled with violent energy. It moved back and forth as if it was doing something intentionally.
Elder Xiong was dazzled by this scene. Being able to see the Patriarch personally modify this space had a great impact on her.
"Haha." The Patriarch looked at Elder Xiong's surprised gaze and smiled proudly. It was best if he could subdue her.
When the light pillar in the sky disappeared, two red rays shot out from the Patriarch's eyes. They went straight for the eye in the sky.
The two rays of light hit the eye at the same time. The eye in the sky suddenly exploded.
A thick and suffocating purple gas floated out. Soon, it covered the sky and the sun. The entire sky was covered by this purple gas.
The Patriarch flew into the sky. His clothes fluttered without wind. A terrifying aura surged out from his body.
He stopped in mid-air. His hands quickly drew mysterious runes in the sky. All of them floated around him. Soon, the runes around him blocked his figure.
"Quick", "Bind", "Close", "Open" …
A series of short words came out of his mouth. Elder Xiong couldn't hear them clearly. They all turned into one sound.
The buzzing sound resounded in the sky. Elder Xiong and the man were covered by this sound. They couldn't hear anything else.
Elder Xiong only saw a resplendent light surging out from the Patriarch's body. The originally chaotic energy started to unify and return to their respective directions.
Most of the energy came from the mountain closest to her.
As the Patriarch laughed wildly, he stretched out a hand. It was glowing. Then, he slowly clenched his fist.
Elder Xiong felt the entire world shaking. In the distance, an endless mountain range started to appear.
As he clenched his fist, all the mountain ranges started to grow taller. It was as if he was forcefully squeezing them.
Finally, when he clenched his fist, a mountain range that surrounded this world appeared.
Such a masterpiece of uncanny workmanship really opened her eyes. It turned out that some things could be done this way. Her state of mind had unknowingly improved a little.
This feeling almost made her think that she was about to break through. However, she knew that even if she were to see this, she wouldn't be able to break through and step into the realm of Quasi-Sage.
Not only did it require luck, but it also required her own enlightenment.
Elder Xiong knew that the Patriarch was purposely showing this to her. However, she wasn't easily convinced. She had her own goals. She also wanted to become a Sage.
She wouldn't compromise.
She waited for the Patriarch to build a rough framework. Looking at the expressionless Elder Xiong, she knew that her plan had failed. However, she didn't care. She knew that the Patriarch wasn't that simple.
He had plenty of time to waste with her. Just now, he had already thought of where to put her. He would lock her up for tens of thousands of years to temper her character.
A black palace was tossed out. It landed on the ground with a loud bang. The door of the palace opened by itself.
Elder Xiong looked at the Patriarch. She knew what he meant. She wouldn't have the chance to see his ability again. She walked in with a trace of regret.
