Qingyuan Dynasty, the capital.
"Candied haws on a stick~Sour and sweet candied haws on a stick~"
"Momo! Dalang steamed bun~"
"Dad! I want a candy man! Buy it for me!"
"Okay, okay, I'll buy it for you."
The capital of a country stretches thousands of miles across and has a permanent population of more than 200 million. On any street, people are coming and going, rubbing shoulders, and the atmosphere is very heavy.
Bah! Rumble——
The sky was clear, but suddenly there was a thunder, the lightning was clearly visible, and within a moment, large dark clouds spread from the sky, covering the capital of Qingyuan Kingdom and plunging it into darkness.
The lively crowd stopped for a moment, looking up at the sky, and then started running in panic, looking for shelter from the rain.
"Mom, look at me, it's a beautiful sunny day, why does it rain when it rains? It's bad luck!"
The vendor playing with the candy man saw all the customers around him running away in an instant, his face darkened, he spat, cursed under his breath, and quickly put it away.
"Master, this is..."
Above a restaurant, the expression of the heroic young man sitting by the window changed. The dark clouds were dense, but he could not feel the slightest increase in water vapor. It was obvious that this was not a natural celestial phenomenon.
"Why are you panicking? This is the capital of a dynasty, with billions of living beings. Are you still afraid that monks will come to cause trouble?"
In all realms, the top hegemonic forces almost have express regulations that monks are not allowed to kill mortal creatures indiscriminately. If they violate the rules, they will be punished as evil cultivators and their souls will be scattered.
The same is naturally true of the Feixian Realm. Over the long years, Feixian Cave often displayed thunderous methods to kill evil cultivators.
"Master taught me that my disciple lost his temper..."
Katcha! boom--
There was another earth-shattering loud noise, covering up all the sounds. Looking at the sky again, the dark clouds had turned into a huge whirlpool at some point, and a crack in the void appeared in the center of the whirlpool.
Buzz!
A scarlet pagoda shot out from the cracks in the void, spinning and expanding crazily.
"swallow--"
An indifferent and harsh sound came from inside the tower. The next moment, the pagoda froze, and the red light flashed at the bottom, like a black hole, erupting with terrifying swallowing power, completely covering the capital of Qingyuan Kingdom.
"Ahhh!"
"No! No! Help~"
"Daddy! Save me!"
"Official Ximen, please save the slave family——"
The densely packed figures, like ants, rose into the sky, crossed the void, and fell into the pagoda without any resistance.
"Master?"
"Ahem! Disciple, the world has changed...ah~"
In the restaurant, the glittering golden formation flashed crazily under the pull of the swallowing power. The old man spat out a mouthful of blood. The entire pavilion was pulled up and shattered. No one hiding in the building could escape. , all were swallowed up by the pagoda.
"Who is this monster? How dare you massacre a mortal dynasty! Kill!"
hold head high--
Deep in the imperial city, a huge golden dragon rose up, winding and circling to cover the sky, then swooped down and bit into the scarlet pagoda.
"Haha, the mayfly shakes the tree."
boom!
A bloody palm pressed down from the depths of the dark clouds, suppressing the Golden Dragon of Luck, and the entire imperial city was reduced to ruins. A palm print covering a hundred miles in radius was sunk deep into the ground.
Huhu——
A wisp of darkness blew past, and the Qingyuan Kingdom was turned into a dead city, eerily silent, and all 200 million living beings were swallowed up by the scarlet pagoda.
"It's great. I haven't had such a good time in a long time. The next one is Qinghuang City, right?"
The pagoda escaped into the cracks in the void and disappeared in an instant, and the dark clouds gradually dispersed.
Brilliant golden light fell on the empty street, and the broken candy figures under the sunlight were crystal clear, like glass.
…
The Scarlet Pagoda came and went without a trace. Wherever it passed, cities were reduced to dead areas. In a very short period of time, the Qingyuan Dynasty disappeared from the map.
Underground, in the unknown huge hollow, there were some ripples in the void, and a burly figure stepped out with the pagoda in hand.
"Elder Lunlu, you are back, are things going well?"
The old and choking voice kept echoing in the hollow.
"It's just a small mortal dynasty, what can happen to it? Ten billion blood meals, is that enough?"
Lun Lu looked indifferent and threw the pagoda in his hand as he spoke.
"almost."
The old figure sitting cross-legged in the center of the altar took the pagoda, swept his thoughts away, and nodded with satisfaction.
"let's start!"
This underground cavity has been compacted extremely flat, and is covered with pitch black metal, engraved with strange runes, intertwined and spreading throughout the space.
In the center of the formation, a scarlet altar stands tall, with many figures sitting cross-legged on the altar, eyes closed and silent.
Following the old man's order, everyone suddenly opened their eyes, their eyes were scarlet red, their expressions were dull, and they were muttering obscure and evil words.
Buzz!
The void trembled, the runes on the ground squirmed like living creatures, red light circulated, and twisted ghost figures walked out of the void, one after another, all sinking into the old man's body.
"Uh-huh-ah!
"
The old man was shaking like an electric shock, his skin was covered with crawling scarlet runes, the holes in his eyes gradually disappeared, leaving only pure white, and his mouth wide open like a dark abyss.
"Mortals, I listen to your call and come to this world..."
A strange voice came from the depths of the old man's dark mouth. When everyone heard the words, they quickly knelt down and bowed their heads with fanatical and pious expressions on their faces.
"Sacrifice, trade, yes."
The unknown existence, acting vigorously and resolutely, without any ink marks at all, directly stuffed the scarlet pagoda into the old man's mouth, chewed it for a while, and tens of billions of creatures instantly turned into blood and mud and were swallowed up.
"This is what you want."
The 'old man' slowly stretched out his withered palm and carved a line of text on the metal altar with a sharp index finger like cutting tofu.
is a coordinate.
Woohoo——
The dark wind gusted, and everyone shivered. They looked up tremblingly, and the old man's pale eyes gradually revealed their childlike eyes. The unknown existence had already left.
"Ahem, Elder Lunlu, I'll leave the rest to you."
The old man's body became weak, as if he had suffered a serious illness, and his breath was extremely weak. After saying this, he vomited, vomited out the scarlet pagoda in his stomach, and threw it to Lun Lu.
"clear!"
Lun Lu's eyebrows trembled, and he looked at the pagoda in Nianhu Lake in front of him with some disgust. He wrapped it with his domain and stepped into the void to disappear.
"Oh, I'm going to die. I have to recover quickly. Lun Lu is destined to fail in the first ambush. The opponent is Feixiandongtian after all!"
The old man stood up tremblingly, and walked towards the bottom of the altar. A breeze blew up wherever he passed, and those figures who were still alive just now turned into dust when blown by the wind.
How can you escape unharmed when dealing with evil gods?
Being absorbed into the body by the evil god's will, if these monks on the altar had not endured the backlash for him, his old life would have died long ago.
Ten billion mortal creatures, as well as tens of thousands of monks around them, are just cheap consumables, just like leeks in a vegetable garden. After cutting one crop, they will grow back after a while.
It is inexhaustible and can be used to trade information, which is very cost-effective.
