He realized, it wasn’t because of a person or a demon that this was happening, but a change in the Heaven and Earth that no longer favored the Human Race, but favored demons and evil spirits instead.
The previous state where Taoism was flourishing and demons declining had been completely reversed, into demons flourishing and Taoism declining. Despite traveling on the Right Path, they, the cultivators, would be suppressed everywhere, their cultivation was unfavorable everywhere.
“Old guy, are you done talking? If you are, you better prepare to go!”
The flying zombie, armed with a horrific stench, lunged forward, intending to rip apart the Taoist Priest’s neck and drink his spirit-filled blood.
Boom!
A dark beam of lightning, thick as three feet, dropped straight down from the dark cloudy sky, like a Sword of Heaven’s Punishment, enveloping the blood-filled, seemingly crazed, self-satisfied zombie in an instant.
No!!!
A short sharp shriek was heard, as the zombie in the lightning wasn’t able to fight or resist, it merely lasted for a short moment before it turned to dust.
The old Taoist Priest, whose eyes had lost their luster, saw this and a spark of life appeared again in his eyes.
“Is Heaven finally opening its eyes?!”
Seeing this, tears streamed down the old Taoist Priest’s face as he laughed and cried. His cultivation experience told him that the lightning just now was not natural but conjured by a Great Cultivator, and if so, all the better.
The old Taoist Priest, alongside the shocked martial artists, looked up to the sky at the source of the lightning, then he saw a conspicuous pitch-black crack silently appearing even under the gloomy sky.
“This is…”
The old Taoist Priest’s eyes widened, as his body involuntarily started to tremble.
Heaven was certainly not showing mercy, for from the gap in the darkness, a giant claw ablaze with blue Ghost Fire reached out, followed by a hideous demon head as large as a house.
The previously negligible sense of demonic pressure turned heavy and stagnant as the demon revealed itself. Both the Taoist Priest and Martial Artists at the scene felt as if they were immersed in a sticky glue, it was extremely hard to even move a finger.
“So, this is it, hahaha, Heaven wants to annihilate our Human Race!”
Despite the heavy oppression, the old Taoist Priest laughed and cried, nearly going insane. He looked at the demon that was emerging from the darkness, its foot on the Yin cloud, and carrying the Star and Moon on its back, as teardrops ran down his wrinkled face.
Roar!
The terrifying demon, stepping on the Yin cloud, seemed to disregard the human race as insignificant. It looked up at the full, round moon in the sky, let out a long howl, and immediately it was seen that the moonlight gathered into a stream and flowed directly into its opened mouth.
As the demon unscrupulously absorbed the moonlight, the once bright moon and the stars dotting the sky suddenly dimmed. The world became even darker, only the blue Ghost Fire on the demon’s body was blazing, seemingly becoming the only light source in this world.
Seeing this, the old Taoist Priest, his Daoist Heart nearly shattered, fell onto his back.
The next moment, he saw with his own eyes, demons resembling wolves both small as calves and large as buildings emerging in droves from beside the huge demon, descending from the clouds and fearsome winds.
“My time has come!”
One of the martial artists sighed and threw down his weapons. He sprawled on his back just like the old Taoist Priest, too lazy to try to escape. Seeing the sizes of these demons, he knew that even the smallest one could chase him without any effort.
Many of the warriors followed suit, some simply lied on the ground, eyes closed, awaiting the end. Only a very few with widened angry eyes, weapons in their hands, prepared to die fighting with the demons.
What surprised the Taoist Priest and the Martial Artists was that the demons that descended from the sky didn’t even glance at them, not in the slightest. The old Taoist Priest even saw a demon walking on all fours, as if he didn’t exist, stride past right over his head.
“What’s going on?”
The old Taoist Priest had a bewildered look on his face. He wasn’t boasting, but as a cultivator, who cultivated with morning rosy clouds and drew Heaven and Earth’s Spiritual Qi, for those matured demons, he was considered a delicacy.
He found it difficult to believe that in this world, demons would openly overlook a cultivator like him with complete indifference. After all, one bite from such a creature could significantly increase their demonic power and elevate their realm. Who could resist such temptation?
Howl–
In the night sky, the satisfied demon, bathed in the glow of the moonlight, landed step by step from the clouds, wrapped in raging flames. It stopped not too far away from the Taoist Priest and the martial artists.
The elderly Taoist Priest, who was both curious and inexplicably expectant of the demon’s strange behavior, suddenly noticed a proud silhouette atop the demon’s densely furred and graceful head: it was an exceptionally handsome young man in a white robe.
A shape-shifting demon?!
The words popped in the Taoist Priest’s mind immediately, but he quickly dismissed them. He observed that the young man was chivalrously beautiful, sophisticated and not seeming part of the common masses, radiant in a way that was decidedly not demonic.
Could it be a high-ranking Taoist master?
As the thought entered his mind, the Priest felt energized and even a bit excited. From his earlier slumped position on the ground, he sprang to his feet and hastily tidied up his Taoist robes.
However, before he could bow in respect, the young man who seemed to be a high-ranking member of the Taoist sect threw out a smooth crystal filled with a glimmering hint of crimson.
“Gulp!”
The old Taoist Priest seemed to smell something highly tantalizing and couldn’t help but swallow. However, when he tried to sniff again, the scent had vanished.
Swish swish–
Suddenly, the sound of beating wings resonated through the air, accompanied by the foul smell of Demon Qi. The Priest looked up, only to see a massive demon cloud, spanning over ten miles, rising from the nearby mountains.
The cloud was composed of giant bats, each spreading their wings up to three yards wide. They were unmistakably supernatural beings, their scarlet eyes dense and fearsome under the night sky.
Even with his extensive travels and broad knowledge, the Priest could not help but shiver. He had never imagined that such a terrifying swarm of supernatural beasts could be hidden deep within these mountains.
How did such monstrosities appear in just a few chaotic years?
The bats taking to the air were just the beginning. As the ground began to tremble, tiny fissures appeared, and from them emerged colossal beasts sheathed in scale-armors, crawling from beneath the ground. Simultaneously, numerous geodragons tore through the soil, each as thick as a water bucket.
Squawk!
From the distant mountains, screeches of birds of prey echoed. One by one, their colossal shadows crossed the land as they tore through the clouds, almost simultaneously with the roars of fierce tigers and wild beasts. The forest trembled and the trees swayed…
In just a few moments, the Taoist Priest and martial artists bore witness to the horrors of demons running amok and warring amongst themselves.
It was unfathomable to the Priest that such an incredible number of supernatural creatures could exist within hundreds of miles, their numbers so vast they formed a tide of demons in the sky.
However, despite the alarming scene, the old Taoist Priest noticed that the terrifyingly numbered demons all shared the same target—the crystal the young man atop the black wolf had casually thrown.
“Black Mountain, can you wipe them out?”
Feng Qing’an looked at the stream of demons chasing the Soul Blood Spirit Jade across the sky and turned his gaze to Black Mountain.
Growl~
Black Mountain let out a confident growl. Although there were many demons in front of it, none were noteworthy—the demons were mere small fishes unworthy of its attention. They had just taken advantage of the changes in the world’s Qi to transform into supernatural beings.
“What are we waiting for then!”
As the words of the white-robed youth fell, the Ghost Fire-wrapped Wolf King unhurriedly opened its mouth wide. As the muzzle expanded to its extreme, a pale blue divine light sprang forth.
Like the birth of a divine sword capable of cleaving the heavens and earth in two, the blue divine light shot straight up from the ground into the sky. Wherever the divine light went, the demons chasing the soul-blood treasure jade exploded in groups…
