Chapter 1 Sacrifice!

The sound waves, like a celestial river cascading down, washed away the omnipresent murmurs and crashed into the altar.

Buzz, buzz, buzz...

In an instant, the red light on the altar exploded a thousandfold!

Countless scarlet lines, like the tiniest blood vessels and meridians in the human body, instantly permeated the entire darkened Star River True Form!

Black light intertwined with red light, the two colors constantly changing, with earth-shattering and terrifying collisions occurring in every slightest moment of time!

Using the Ten Directions Cave Heaven as a guide to activate the most core curse power of the Feng Wang (King Sealing) spirit treasure, the Three Seven Dharma Extinction Talisman, this was a terrifying force sufficient to curse and kill a Feng Hou (Marquis Sealing) expert!

All the top experts on the surface of present-day Dongzhou, without spirit treasures of the same level to protect them, would be directly cursed to death!

But for An Qisheng, while he did not have a Feng Wang spirit treasure, let alone a Zhi Zun (Supreme) spirit treasure.

This universe-level treasure from the desolate Wildlands, the five-star Wishing Altar, was enough to cope with this terrifying curse power!

Not everything needed to be resisted with one's own body; using force against force was also a principle of the Great Dao!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Like thousands of celestial rivers slapping against each other, terrifying tides constantly stirred within the Starry Sky True Form.

The terrifying scene horrified everyone.

"That altar..."

Qian Shisi, the Butian Pavilion Master, and the others were deeply shaken.

They certainly knew where this curse power came from, but they had not expected that the altar could contend with the Feng Wang-level spirit treasure, the Three Seven Dharma Extinction Talisman!

This, then, was the deepest hidden trump card of that Yuan Yang Daoren?

This was the Yuan Yang Daoren's Dao-protecting treasure?

A Feng Wang spirit treasure?

While several people were shaken, the starry sky boiled for only a few moments before a shocking scene occurred.

The countless scarlet lights, like the blood vessels and meridians of the human body, had already overwhelmed the surging and whistling endless curse power in just a few moments.

And in a way they could not understand, they took that curse power, which manifested as pitch-black, but was actually invisible and intangible.

They dragged it down from the starry sky!

This scene was like countless tentacles dragging down the night sky, revealing the original true color of the starry sky!

The starlight reappeared!

And the endless curse power, as if there were thousands of people wailing, had been forcibly dragged into the altar like thousands of pitch-black ink dragons!

And in the outside world, Xuanji's feelings were different.

In her perception, the滔滔 endless curse power had already dyed Yuan Yang Daoren pitch black, as if it would extinguish his soul light in the next instant.

But that blackness had already receded in the next moment!

It seemed that the curse power that made her heart palpitate and tremble had disappeared without a trace in this short period of time!

Whoosh~

It was as if everything was silent!

An Qisheng's divine will, like the wind, stirred up a vast airflow, and an invisible hand fell into the Cave Heaven.

Under the stunned gazes of Feng Shiduo, Mo Changfa, Feng Changming and others, from the spirit beast garden that had just been built not long ago, he lifted up that half-grown black dog!

"Woof, woof~"

This naturally proud black dog, which had once dared to bare its teeth at An Qisheng, was frightened, and its fur stood on end as if it had been electrocuted.

Whoosh~

The big hand crossed the sky and instantly landed on Qian Mountain, in front of the altar.

And that half-grown dog had already been lifted in An Qisheng's palm, swaying back and forth.

"Hoo~"

An Qisheng slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.

In the past few years, he had studied the Three Seven Dharma Extinction Talisman in detail, and knew the terror of this divine soul killing technique best, but he still had to test the law with his own body, naturally with a purpose in mind.

This purpose was also related to 'Heaven'.

On this land of Dongzhou, not to mention the future, but in the past tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years, the sects and sacred grounds undoubtedly occupied the vast majority of the Qi number of heaven and earth.

This Howling Moon Greedy Wolf upheld the Qi number of the moment, and the top ten sects that controlled the secular dynasty and governed the world were the most prosperous in Qi luck on this land.

And the place where the Qi number of the sect lay was in the Feng Wang spirit treasure that suppressed the Qi luck.

The sages and saints of the sect and sacred land passed down spirit treasures, one to inherit and two to protect future generations.

Defending against enemies and protecting are two completely different concepts.

Saints may not want their descendants to hold treasures to act fiercely and run rampant in the world, but they will certainly not want the Dao lineage they inherited to be destroyed.

Therefore, even after the great changes in the world, it is still difficult for sects to promote to Feng Hou, and their status is as stable as Mount Tai.

An Qisheng possessed the ability to enter dreams, so he naturally knew very well that even Feng Hou experts would not dare to really attack the mountain gates of sects and sacred grounds.

Even now, he could only use this method to borrow the 'Qi number' of the Extinction Emotion Dao.

"Sacrifice..."

An Qisheng carried the half-grown black dog, closing his eyes slightly.

Boom!

It was as if thunder exploded in his heart.

The blood light that had already subsided on the altar suddenly burst out with a terrifying level of blood light, completely submerging An Qisheng.

"This altar..."

Outside Qian Mountain, the Three Hearts Blue Spirit Child circled from a distance, observing and daring not approach.

In its perception, this altar was much more terrifying than that curse power, giving it a feeling that as long as it was drawn into it, it would be doomed forever.

If it were not curious about what this 'Monster Mister' wanted to do, it would have run far away long ago.

Buzz~

Surrounded by blood light, An Qisheng's expression was calm. Having had many experiences, he was no longer surprised.

"I want to see Heaven!"

With a thought, the surrounding blood light seemed to have completely burned.

An Qisheng only felt his divine will empty, and then began to rise rapidly, seemingly breaking through the starry sky in just a moment, and ascending to the Nine Heavens.

The vast world, all kinds of spiritual opportunities, the boundless earth, the endless mountains and rivers...

It seemed that all the scenes in the entire world were filling his divine will, and even An Qisheng's current divine will could not bear it.

Fortunately, the flashing of the endless scenes was only a moment.

In the next moment, An Qisheng only felt that he had jumped out of the limitations of heaven and earth, and his vision had risen to a limit!

The earth, mountains and rivers, the myriad things of the starry sea, everything had become extremely small in his eyes.

At the same time, he finally felt the huge monster that was omnipresent, yet nowhere to be found.

This was an extremely magnificent picture!

After the outer appearance of heaven and earth was completely stripped away, what appeared was the extremely tiny particle fluctuations. Infinite particles formed the myriad things of heaven and earth.

The constant fluctuations were the operation of the myriad things and spirits in heaven and earth.

And the infinite particles formed the myriad things of heaven and earth, and also formed the 'Heaven' itself.

Immeasurable lines connected everything, connecting everything under heaven and earth.

It was like the most complex puppeteer, with countless lines connecting people, demons, the myriad races, the myriad things, and also flowers, plants, trees, stars, celestial bodies, and the void starry sky...

It had no true form, and it did not seem to be a true existence.

"The Heaven of this world..."

An Qisheng stood above all things, but was still under the 'Will of Heaven'. The distance between the two seemed not far away, but it was like being separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, endless.

He sacrificed the curse power of the Three Seven Dharma Extinction Talisman, using the Qi number of the Extinction Emotion Dao and the Qi luck of this Howling Moon Greedy Wolf as a guide, and went upstream to this point.

Seeing all this, he seemed to see 'Heaven'.

In fact, 'Heaven' was omnipresent. What he approached was only a node where the Will of Heaven was most active.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

In his ears, there was the sound of滔滔 endless water.

But he knew that it was not the sound of water, but the endless curse power that was sacrificed to the 'Heaven' of this world as a sacrifice.

Under his perception.

Under some unknown guidance, that curse power followed a 'line' that could not be seen by the naked eye or the Yuanshen, or rather, the 'Heavenly Rules' that contained the deepest Dao and principles.

It spread towards an unknown place.

After condensing the 'Qi Seed' and the divine flower bloomed, An Qisheng was already able to control his own magnetic field to strengthen himself and interfere with the atmospheric phenomena.

He could even vaguely perceive the most subtle and incomprehensible causes and effects, time and space, destiny, and the Will of Heaven...

Being able to perceive did not mean being able to control it.

It was difficult to ask the Will of Heaven, and it was not as simple as seeing it. It was like mortals looking up at the sky and seeing the cosmic starry river, but what they saw and perceived was only an insignificant corner.

Even the full picture could not be seen, let alone involved.

From perception to involvement, to control, there were unimaginable huge gaps between each step.

"The curse of a Feng Wang spirit treasure..."

An Qisheng's divine will was deep and quiet, and he waited quietly.

No one in the Extinction Emotion Dao would have thought that An Qisheng 'borrowed' their hand, but used it to curse the heavens.

If they knew, they would be terrified to the extreme.

Although there seemed to be no shortage of cultivators or mortals cursing and scolding the sky in the human world every moment, the Extinction Emotion Dao should be the first to dare to curse the heavens?

Buzz, buzz~~~

After what seemed like a moment, or perhaps an extremely long time, a powerful, indescribable wave suddenly burst out from the depths of the endless illusory and invisible world!

Rumble!

The moment this wave vibrated, heaven and earth shook!

In Dongzhou, Yaozhou, and even above Jiuzhou, thunder rolled, the sky changed, and in the Four Seas, waves surged, and violent winds swept across thousands of giant waves.

In the endless desert, sand and rocks flew, and dust storms covering the sky rolled and roared, shaking many oases.

Heaven and earth changed greatly!

In an instant, in the many sects, sacred grounds, and ancestral courts in Jiuzhou, the Four Seas, and the many oases in the endless desert, powerful existences awakened from their slumber.

One after another, gazes that were either desolate, ancient, calm, or indifferent pierced through the void, seemingly capturing the fluctuations of the changes in heaven and earth.

It was just a clap of thunder. Ordinary people were unaware, and could not imagine what kind of waves this was about to set off.

Crack~

Above Mount Underworld Moon, an ancient and simple stone house suddenly cracked, and the 'Underworld Moon' on the mountain, which seemed to be hidden in many dimensional spaces, let out a hum.

The stone house cracked!

A deep and wise gaze lit up, looking far along the humming Underworld Moon, and whispered slightly as if sensing something:

"The great changes in heaven and earth have actually come early..."

The sky was poor and the clouds rose, and the earth was windy.

In a quiet bamboo forest, a knife lender wearing a raincoat and a hat looked up at the sky, his thick fingers pinching, and muttered to himself:

"What kind of person and what kind of method can cause the fluctuations of heaven and earth? This thunderclap seems to carry ominousness, like the wrath of heaven..."

A sudden thunderclap resounded simultaneously through Jiuzhou, the Four Seas, and the endless desert, alarming the myriad races and sects, including humans, demons, dragons, and phoenixes.

Countless gazes peered and perceived the subtle points of the changes in heaven and earth in various ways. Some gained something, while others gained nothing.

But no one knew what had happened.

And before this thunderclap resounded, in the ruined mountain gate of the Extinction Emotion Dao, which seemed to be soaked in a sea of blood, the leader of the Extinction Emotion Dao and the three Supreme Elders of the Extinction Emotion Dao were roaring at the sky.

"It pains me to death!"

The leader of the Extinction Emotion Dao fell out of the void, one of his arms completely cut off, and an extremely fierce killing aura permeated his body.

Constantly obliterating his blood energy!

Under the great formation, the mountain gate of the Extinction Emotion Dao was in a mess, with thousands of corpses lying in the sea of blood, shrouded in an aura containing extreme ferocity.

Further away, countless disciples of the Extinction Emotion Dao were howling and fleeing in embarrassment.

The blood of a Cave Heaven powerhouse was a disaster for the cultivators below Cave Heaven. Such a slap down was like mortals bathing in aqua regia or soaking in sulfuric acid, which was absolutely terrible.

The reason why there were only thousands of corpses on the sea of blood was because the disciples with insufficient cultivation could not even leave a corpse!

"Yuan Yang Daoren!"

A Supreme Elder of the Extinction Emotion Dao roared, his eyes bleeding, and his face was as hideous as a ghost: "I will kill you!"

"Ha, haha!"

Another old man laughed miserably, his hair disheveled like a madman. He was the only surviving Cave Heaven elder besides the four.

Looking at the mountain gate that was like a ruin, and looking at the countless disciples fleeing, he laughed miserably and wept blood: "The mountain gate is destroyed, are you finally satisfied?"

Not everyone in the Extinction Emotion Dao agreed to attack that Yuan Yang Daoren.

"This hatred is irreconcilable!"

An old woman's voice was low and full of resentment.

In this battle, except for the Three Seven Dharma Extinction Talisman, which was unscathed, more than half of the experts of the entire Extinction Emotion Dao died!

What a huge loss this was!

"Cough~"

The leader of the Extinction Emotion Dao coughed blood and staggered. Suddenly, he heard a thunderclap that seemed to resound in his heart. His heart turned cold, and he looked up in horror.

He saw dark clouds rolling in the sky, and thousands of electric snakes and thunder dragons intertwined, turning into a thundercloud vortex like a vertical eye.

Thunder rolled and violent winds rose.

An indescribable powerful deterrent swept in from all directions, followed by a seemingly boundless and endless terror in his heart!

All the cultivators were already like this.

In the tens of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, all the birds, beasts, insects, fish, spirit beasts, and monsters were even more unbearable. No matter their size, whether they had cultivation or intelligence.

They all lay prostrate on the ground, their bodies trembling, as if they felt the greatest terror in the world!

"This... is this a heavenly tribulation?"

"How is it possible?! There are nine realms and eleven steps in cultivation. Only those who cultivate to the last step of Tongtian will have a heavenly tribulation. How can a heavenly tribulation descend?"

"What happened?"

"No, impossible!"

"No! No! Impossible!"

Everyone in the Extinction Emotion Dao was stunned, and all the experts and great powers who were watching the Extinction Emotion Dao through various means were also stunned.

Cave Heaven has tribulations, but cultivators do not.

It is said that only those who cultivate to the realm of 'Tongtian' and touch the will of heaven will usher in a heavenly tribulation.

What virtue and ability did the Extinction Emotion Dao have to usher in a heavenly tribulation?

Did the Extinction Emotion Dao have a Feng Wang giant, or did they anger the heavens by some unknown means, causing the heavenly tribulation to descend?

Was this defying the heavens?

"How is it possible..."

The leader of the Extinction Emotion Dao, the three Supreme Elders, and the one Cave Heaven elder who had managed to escape were all stunned at this time.

Looking up at the sky, their eyes were full of horror and incomprehension.

Why, why was there a heavenly tribulation?!

Where did the heavenly tribulation come from?!

Rumble!

The thunderclouds rolled, but they did not care about anyone's shock and horror. The moment they floated in the air, thousands of electric snakes and thunder dragons had already swept across with endless destructive aftermath.

They bombarded the ruined mountain gate of the Extinction Emotion Dao!

Amidst thousands of thunderbolts, came the roar of the leader of the Extinction Emotion Dao, filled with endless aggrieved anger:

"I am not willing!!!"
