Chapter 279 Disaster
Chapter 279 Disaster
When Li Ye took him away, Cao Mufang of the True Form Sect was fighting with Du Tian Si Ming. At that time, Cao Mufang used his magical powers to stir the earth veins, almost changing the terrain near Da Jie Mountain.
But now when Li Wuxiang looked outside again, he realized how terrifying the magical powers of the True Form Sect's Hedao monks were - the Great Tribulation Mountain had almost completely melted, and only the tilted stone pillars remained of the once magnificent mountain, like fangs in a huge mouth.
Countless huge stone pillars stood between heaven and earth, like towering trees from ancient times. The ground was covered with red lava, and everything was burning - the mountains, the foot of the mountains, the distance, and the sky. It was as if the world had become a huge furnace, refining everything!
When my body saw this scene, I was only shocked by the sea of fire in front of me, and it was not real. Moreover, I was still a mortal with limited vision, so everything I saw was steaming and distorted in the heat wave.
At this time, Li Wuxiang, with his Nascent Soul cultivation base of Yin Spirit, knew that this sea of fire had spread to who knows how far - the limit of his sight and the horizon at the end were all covered with red clouds. It was unclear whether it was day or night. In any case, the sun, moon and stars at the zenith were completely obscured by the fire clouds, as if the world had turned into the beginning of creation, a lava purgatory!
He also saw something else - in the rolling fire clouds at the top of the sky, there was still a subtle golden light. The golden light was looming, as thin as a hair, circling in the clouds, and he knew at a glance that it was the sword light of the Sword Sect.
When Li Wuxiang saw this, he thought that Jiang Jie was still fighting with Cao Mufang, but the moment his body closed the stone door, he saw the scene that Zhao Xi had described before - countless "giant trees" fell from the clouds at the sky.
Only now he knew that it was not a giant tree!
The giant tree would not be as regular in thickness and length as he saw, nor would it be black and shining with the luster of gold and iron. This was most likely the magical power of Cao Mufang.
And, amidst the fierce wind of the raging sea of fire, a tiny sound came from the clouds in the sky—
"……plum--"
It seemed as if someone was shouting in the clouds, and the sound was like the word "mei"!
The stone door slammed shut.
Mei...the one shouting angrily was a male voice, it should be Cao Mufang.
Jiang Jie was possessed by Senior Sister Mei, but before leaving Dajie Mountain, Cao Mufang already knew that his opponent was Dutian Siming, Jiang Jie. But now what he drank out was the word "Mei". Was he going to say "Mei Qiulu"?
Is he fighting with Senior Sister Mei now?
That Jiang Jie——
It seems that Li Ye is right!
Li Ye's condition was not very good, but Jiang Jie was framed and had one incarnation knocked down, and he seemed to be at the end of his strength - just like Li Ye could not stay here any longer and had to return to Ye City to fight with all his might, Jiang Jie should have also restrained all his incarnations... He had no strength left!
However, what stunned Li Wuxiang was not just this, but the doomsday scene outside.
He didn't know how this scene appeared on this stone brick... outside the Wanhuafang, but he guessed that it might be the magical power of Dutian Siming, or it might be related to the newly born "Siming Zhenjun" or "Kitchen God" - the stove fire is fire, does the ground fire count as fire? Maybe it was caused by some cause and effect when he became the True Immortal Siming Zhenjun.
Compared to the people of this world, he was familiar with the apocalypse. It wasn't that he had experienced it himself, but that he had seen it in movies and TV shows in his previous life - there was always a sinister conspiracy or a great crisis that would lead to the apocalypse, but often when the end was near and the villain was about to succeed, the conspiracy would fail, the crisis would be resolved, and everything would be back to normal.
Because of this experience and because of Li Ye's appearance, he always felt that the Great Calamity Mountain Fire that destroyed the world would not happen - if he couldn't do it, and if Li Ye couldn't do it, there were still the other emperors, they wouldn't just sit there and watch! However, what he saw before his eyes...
The worst-case scenario came true?
Since I came into this world, all the people I knew might have been buried in this sea of fire! ?
how come! ?
At this moment, he saw his own body rush back into the front room, pick up an empty sack and throw it out the door, wanting to see if the fire outside was real.
Li Wuxiang remembered how he felt at that moment, but he didn't expect that the same feeling would come again, and it made him more desperate than the first time. He was feeling desperate about many things - most of the people he had met in this world in just over half a year would not survive.
But there is something else, something above this - cultivating immortality. What kind of immortality is this? People who cultivate to this level are almost all dead in this world!
When he heard Li Ye say that he would become a Golden Immortal in the future, he felt confident and hopeful even though he knew the road ahead would be full of dangers. However, the moment he saw the scene before him, he immediately felt that the word "Golden Immortal" was simply empty... In such a world, what would it matter even if he became a Golden Immortal? All he saw was devastation!
When he saw Cheng Peixin using the life span of a mortal child to invite the true spirit in Deyang, he felt that although he did not agree, he could understand the coldness of the world. However, now... it is not only cold, but also chilling to the bone.
The chill gradually condensed into a ball in his mind, and then ignited in the next moment. Li Wuxiang released his divine consciousness into the Wanhua Fang and shouted, "Jiang Jie, Jiang Jie!"
No one answered him. But he could sense that there was something somewhere, and it should be Siming Zhenjun who was also hiding here.
"Jiang Jie! Did you see outside? Why is it so?!"
There was still silence in the divine mind.
Li Wuxiang knew that if Li Ye was here, he would definitely ask him to calm down. But now he didn't know if it was because they always had to "calm down" that they had lost their minds.
"You are fighting for the destiny of humanity, and you have already destroyed the world, Master Jiang! You have been in Youjiuyuan for more than 300 years... No matter who you were in the past, do you really not care about your fellow brothers and sisters in the Sword Sect?"
"You are now the Lord of Life, and you are supposed to be in charge of the lives of people in the world, but you..." He paused when he said this.
Because he realized that as he said these words, he had a strange, subtle sense of shame in his heart. He felt ashamed for having such an emotion, and this shame had some specific meanings: sentimentality, impulse, and childishness.
He realized that these feelings did not come out of nowhere, but had been in his heart for a long time - cultivation is about fighting, and to fight you have to be ruthless, decisive, and use any means necessary. Apart from that, any compassion and sympathy is considered weakness.
Not only in this world...it was the same where he came from, so these things must be buried deep in the heart and not allowed to see the light, because if they are allowed to spread, there will be danger and death, just like the story he once told Xue Baoping.
However, if he became a Nascent Soul, Yang God, True Immortal, or Golden Immortal, he would still feel ashamed, childish, and weak for these things, and therefore buried them deep down until he forgot about them. Li Wuxiang felt that that was not what he wanted.
He looked at the body in the stone chamber talking to Zhao Xi in a low voice, and recalled his aspirations when he first came to this world - to practice, become stronger, and then travel the world, be free, and experience a life he had never had in his previous life. At that time, he had not thought about becoming an immortal, and he had never thought that the so-called immortals in this world did not bless people, but brought disasters!
