A devil from the Middle-Earth Plains!
These four words were extremely heavy, causing the entire Western Regions to tremble. The crusade army was completely annihilated. This news was like a bolt of lightning that shook the world, causing everyone to be incomparably shocked.
The army of the Eastern Punitive Expedition was an extremely powerful batch of people that had been carefully selected. Every one of them came from an ancient clan and all of them had noble bloodlines.
And among them, the three leaders were supreme experts at the first layer of immortal-foundation, extremely famous in the Western Regions. They were all very old and had experienced many great battles, their names shaking the world!
However, such an army was completely annihilated. Not a single one of them managed to escape. Some people went to the scene to take a look, but not even a shard of armor was left behind. Only dark bloodstains were left on the scorched earth and rocks.
"What era is this? It's impossible for such a great devil to appear! The Daoist Sect of the Middle-Earth doesn't know how to gather faith. Without the support of psyforce, how can they cultivate to such a realm?! "
After the shock, many people started to voice out their doubts. They felt that this didn't make sense and that there were many flaws in it. It was most likely a sinister plot.
"No, this must be the doing of those Daoists of the Middle-Earth. Their inheritance is very strange. Maybe they left behind some ancient grand formation that used the power of heaven and earth to slaughter the crusaders."
Some people rapidly made their guesses, believing that the Daoist Sect most likely knew of their purpose of heading east and wanted to seize the ancestral weapon of the Middle-Earth Plains. Hence, they intercepted them midway and pushed all the blame onto a devil.
For a time, the entire Western Regions were in an uproar. The cultivation world was in an uproar because this matter was too great. Since ancient times, although there were many crusaders who died, there had never been a time where they were completely annihilated.
This was especially so now that it was the Degenerate Era. Under normal circumstances, the three supreme experts were already existences at the peak of the pyramid. They were invincible. How could they all die?
Three glorious Grand Knights in addition to five hundred tempered knights were specially prepared to deal with the experts of the Daoist Sect. With the strength they possessed, they should be able to seize the ancestral weapon of the Middle-Earth Plains in a sneak attack!
"Enforcing the law on that heretic was just something that happened in passing. Who would have thought that because of this, it would become the most terrifying matter!"
"The Pope is already enraged. He will personally summon all the cultivators in the Western Regions to form the strongest crusade!"
...
Tibet was deep and mysterious. In today's world, it was a rare pure land. Ye Fan and the others continued forward and came to the ruins of an ancient temple.
This was Komatsu's old home. As soon as it arrived, it recovered from its sickly state and quickly became active again. It rushed up the stone mountain like a wisp of smoke and burrowed into its little nest.
Yan Xiaoyu thought it was cute, so he followed it and looked at it. The small cave was clean and dry. Komatsu rolled its big eyes and looked at the outside.
This place had left it with too many memories. It had grown up in this place, ignorant of the moonlight, until it met Ye Fan.
"This is the Hidden Buddha Cave, excavated for the Virtuous Buddha." The Little Taoist Master, Zhang Qingyang, knew quite a lot. He could tell the origin of the cave. The small stone Buddha was suppressed here.
The cave, which was less than half a foot high, was full of divinity. That was why Komatsu could gradually gain spirituality. It was really because it was stained with the divine light of the ancient sages.
"Speaking of which, the waters of Buddhism are very deep. Although Buddhism is almost extinct in India, it is widely spread in the Central Plains. Even Spirited Mountain has moved to the east. I wonder what kind of disaster will happen in the future," You Weiyu said.
He was from Kunlun, so he naturally had a clear understanding of Tibetan Buddhism and the famous Buddhist temples in the inland mountains and rivers. His sect had also sensed the vast power of Spirited Mountain.
"Whoosh!"
Komatsu jumped and turned into a purple light, rushing around the stone mountain. Finally, it entered the crack at the foot of the mountain, and the others followed.
When they saw the true dragon head formed by the earth vein, they were all horrified. A stone dragon withered up and died here just like that. Below the dragon's mouth was a small broken jar. There was a sparkling liquid inside that released waves of fragrance.
"Earth milk, this is the reason why this little guy can survive and grow up to be spiritually connected," Ye Fan said softly.
Komatsu ran over and raised the small earthen jar seriously, insisting that Ye Fan must drink it. It was very firm and resolute, and refused to retreat.
"Is this showing filial respect to its master?" Ye Fan said with a smile as he stroked its head.
The little thing nodded seriously, its face solemn and hopeful.
Ye Fan didn't refuse like last time. Instead, he really took it and drank it clean in front of it. This was because this was Komatsu's sincere intention.
The purple little thing was very happy and jumped up and down. After a long time, it calmed down and slowly walked towards a small stone cave.
There was the skeleton of a squirrel there. It was its mother, who died to save it. After making a trip to the human world, it understood many things.
Last time, it was still laughing without a care in the world, but this time, it laid there seriously and looked at the skeleton with a sad expression. It didn't move for a long time.
The others looked at each other in dismay. Ye Fan sighed softly and didn't say anything, letting this little guy stare blankly.
The purple little guy whimpered a few times and tears rolled down its large eyes. It told Ye Fan and the others to leave first and that it would follow in a while.
The others nodded and all came to the surface, leaving the little thing alone and giving it time.
Yan Xiaoyu and the others' divine senses weren't weak. It was stronger than the current Komatsu, so they could all sense what it was doing. They couldn't help but reveal strange expressions. They discovered that Komatsu had secretly buried its own treasures — many extremely precious spirit fruits — in that cave together with its mother's skeleton.
"This is filial piety. In a while, pretend you don't know anything and don't see anything," Dragon Sparrow said.
Even if he didn't say it, the others wouldn't point it out. This innocent little guy was sometimes cute and funny, but sometimes pitiful and sad.
"Let's go," Ye Fan said.
Komatsu wasn't in a good mood. In the end, it whimpered a few times at the crack and then walked away with Ye Fan and the others.
The others didn't say anything. There was no way to comfort it. They could only let it adjust itself. It had to be said that Komatsu was very intelligent. This time, its emotions fluctuated violently. It actually sensed the heavens and was about to break through.
In reality, its cultivation was already enough. Before the Holy Zhi Palace, it mainly breathed in and out Spiritual Qi. As long as it swallowed enough Spiritual Qi, it would be able to enter the path.
Only after reaching the Four Levels Secret Realm did it need to cultivate and comprehend the path. For so many days, it had often eaten spirit fruits and continuously swallowed moon essence. It should have crossed this hurdle long ago.
Today, it felt the path move from its heart, so it triggered the Heavenly Tribulation and broke through the Four Levels Secret Realm. It truly stepped onto the path of enlightenment and opened the foundation of cultivation.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning fell from the clear sky and struck directly at Xiao Song. The force of the thunder was fierce and tyrannical to the extreme, causing the earth and the mountains to rumble.
"Heavens, it triggered the Heavenly Tribulation. How many years has it been? Since the earth dried up, this is the first time someone has triggered the Heavenly Tribulation, right?"
Zhan Yifan exclaimed. The others' expressions changed as well. In this era, there were almost no one who could go through the Heavenly Tribulation because the environment had changed greatly. Even the geniuses who could go through the Heavenly Tribulation could hardly be sensed by the Great Path.
No one expected that Komatsu would be so strong. It attracted the attention of the heavens when it entered the Four Levels Secret Realm and needed to send a Heavenly Tribulation to stop it.
The purple little guy whimpered and quickly adjusted its emotions. It focused and began to fight against the vast Heavenly Tribulation.
It could be said that Ye Fan's previous training played a crucial role. Now, it was no longer afraid of the thunder and lightning and dared to face it alone.
Zhang Qingyang and the others finally understood why Ye Fan had taken this little creature as his second true disciple. They were still somewhat dissatisfied before, but now, all of that had vanished like smoke in thin air.
This was a little monster who defied the natural order. He was already suffering the Heavenly Tribulation at such a young age, so his future achievements would certainly be limitless and incomparable.
That was because, according to the ancient records, the true Heavenly Tribulation began when one broke through to the Four Levels Secret Realm. It was because one needed to comprehend the Great Path at this level, which was why it could be sensed by the heavens.
In this way, Komatsu had become one of the few people who could go through the Heavenly Tribulation at the beginning of the Four Levels Secret Realm. In the future, there would be unimaginable results.
Zhan Yifan, You Weiyu, and the others were incomparably envious. At the same time, they were also shocked as they watched quietly.
The sea of lightning was extremely ferocious, drowning out this entire region. Noises rang out unendingly, shocking heaven and earth. Komatsu rose into the heavens, entering the lightning, facing it head-on.
Ye Fan nodded. The second disciple truly stepped onto the path of cultivation. He also took action, naturally not to help, but to neutralize all of the lightning tribulation that reached the ground with the 'Heaven Deceiving Formation Patterns'. Otherwise, these mountains and rivers might be blasted apart.
In the end, Komatsu whimpered. In the end, it was still a bit young, unable to hold on, suffering serious injuries under the Heavenly Tribulation.
"Master, you should hurry and take action, little senior brother can't hold on much longer." The others revealed looks of worry, a bit anxious, asking Ye Fan for help.
"Crossing the tribulation, it can only rely on itself, it will have to face it on its own." Right now, Ye Fan seemed quite ruthless, not helping out, only transmitting sound, telling Komatsu that it had to hold on, that it could make it through on its own.
Whimpering sounds continuously sounded. In the end, even someone with a cold temper like Dragon Sparrow almost couldn't take it anymore, couldn't help but want to take action to resist the heavenly punishment and help out.
However, they were all stopped by Ye Fan, no one able to approach. The little purple thing's skin and flesh were lacerated, almost charred. Meanwhile, the heavenly tribulation became more and more powerful.
The lightning tribulation was terrifying, turning into a sea, vast and boundless, descending from the horizon. Within, a little purple fairy was wailing and struggling.
Ye Fan was extremely cold, loudly transmitting sound, pointing out the method of crossing the tribulation, but he still wasn't willing to take action.
In the end, Komatsu used all of his methods to preserve his life, not even bothering to cry out in pain. He displayed his cultivation, activating the first three of the Nine Slashes of the Demonic Emperor, doing everything he could to resist.
At this moment, Long Yuxuan, the Phoenix Goddess, and the others all had a kind of illusion, as if they were looking at a Great Emperor within the ten thousand zhang sea of tribulation lightning, looking disdainfully at all directions!
"Master, do you see? There is a kind of potential within Komatsu's body, faintly discernible, turning into an immortal divine radiance, looking disdainfully at the heavenly tribulation!" a few people said with a trembling voice.
"That is its' self dao 'potential, and also the foundation for it to ascend to the peak in the future," Ye Fan said softly, in a trance, he seemed to have seen the rise of a Demon Emperor.
"Master, there is only one person in a world that can prove the dao and become an emperor. If Komatsu always follows you, when the time comes, who will become an emperor?" They asked a sharp question.
"Since ancient times, there has never been a saint physique that could prove the dao and become an emperor …" Ye Fan said to himself, not saying anything else.
"This … even if Master doesn't prove the dao, if he can teach two Great Emperors, it will be unprecedented, unparalleled under the heavens."
They had heard that Ye Fan had another disciple in the Big Dipper Star Field, who had the same bloodline power as the Sun Saint Emperor, and might prove the dao in the future.
"My dao … what will happen?" Ye Fan looked towards the endless vault of heaven. He had always been accumulating power, accumulating it well, because his dao would be different from others, and he would have to slash the great dao when passing the trial!
