The scene in front of me was too shocking and unbelievable.
That big hand that descended from the sky, accompanied by rolling thunder, covered the sky and the sun, and was vast. Just one grabbing action caused a huge change in the ethereal world of immortal energy.
The fairy mist drifted away, the mountains collapsed, the water of the mountains and rivers flowed backwards, and endless mountain birds and beasts flew in fear, not knowing the direction, and bumped into the broken mountains.
There is a spirit in the fairy mountain, and several roars resound between heaven and earth.
A giant ape that was taller than the mountain was holding a big stick that reached the sky, trying to pierce the palm and smash it into pieces.
However, after the giant ape just stood up straight, there was no movement. Its eyes were wide open, and it was extremely frightened, as if it had seen something it shouldn't have seen.
The next moment, the giant ape's body suddenly self-destructed silently, and the vast energy swept through the world like a huge wind and waves, crushing all living beings.
Mountains and rivers collapsed under the pressure of the palm, rivers and lakes collapsed into mist under the huge force of the palm, and countless mortal creatures disappeared under this boundless power.
After the giant ape self-destructed, four more alien beasts rushed out from all directions. Each of them had supreme power, trying to break open the giant hand with a combined attack.
Chen Yuan could see clearly that the beasts in the four directions were clearly the green dragon in the east, the white tiger in the west, the vermilion bird in the south, and the Xuanwu in the north.
They were as tall as a mountain and as powerful as the sea. The full blow made the giant hand tremble slightly and move back a little.
However, under the truly powerful power, the divine beasts are just beasts. With a gentle squeeze of the palm, the four divine beasts turned into spatial blood mist out of reluctance.
At this moment, it seems that there is no power that can stop that palm from erasing the world, and there is no power that can make the palm escape or break.
Maybe, in the next moment, the world will disappear.
Just when the palm was about to completely wipe out the world, a sword light coming from nowhere intercepted the bottom of the palm.
The appearance of the sword light trembled again, as if the power of the sword light was more powerful than the four divine beasts.
"Go back!"
The sound came from afar. Although the figure was not visible, the pressure was already felt. Since the palm did not dare to press down further, it seemed to believe that as long as it made any abnormal movement, the sword light could completely wipe it out.
The appearance of the sword light brought a brief calm to the world that was about to collapse.
Chen Yuan, who was inside, even had the illusion that as long as the sword light was willing, with just a slight movement, the big hand would penetrate completely.
However, the situation did not go as Chen Yuan imagined. The palm in the air only paused for a moment before pressing down again.
The loud rumbling sound echoed across the world again, and the mountains and rivers were once again on the verge of collapse. It seemed that no one in the world could stop the power of the palm.
"If you dare to break the rules of the Dao in this way, I will let you and others be completely wiped out under the Dao."
The sound came from far away again.
Chen Yuan did not see the person who claimed to be the Immortal Lord. He only saw a white shadow.
The phantom holds a long sword, rushes towards the palm like light, and then rushes towards Jiutian.
…
At the moment when the white shadow collided with the palms, Chen Yuan and Chen suddenly became unsteady on their feet, staggered, and fell downwards.
After an unknown amount of time, the two of them appeared in an underground river. The river was not too fast but flowed normally, which was enough to show that they had found a way out.
The two were overjoyed and began to swim downstream along the river.
"Hey, what did you see before?" In the river, the braid suddenly asked.
"An unprecedented picture, it seems that someone wants to destroy the avenue of heaven and earth."
After Chen Yuan answered the question of the braid, the mind-shaking image once again appeared in his mind. His palms were like the evil of heaven and earth, trying to crush all avenues. Only the four-dimensional beasts and the unknown white-clothed immortal wanted to stay. Live on the avenue.
However, Chen Yuan didn't see the final result. He didn't know whether it was the palm of his hand that won, or whether the sword-wielding immortal master defeated the evil in the world.
Maybe there are no immortals and demons in heaven and earth. Becoming an immortal or becoming a demon is just a delusion of the world.
In the final analysis, mortals, immortals, and demons are just spirits between heaven and earth. As long as the great road of heaven and earth exists, spirits will always be spirits, and no force can violate the great road.
"But if the Dao is inherently evil, where should the spirit go?"
Chen Yuan didn't know what he was thinking about, but he always felt a chill on his back, and he felt like he was being stared at, as if his every move was being watched from behind.
Turning his head and looking back, Chen Yuan only saw darkness and a handsome and lovely face in the darkness.
"What I saw was different from you. I saw a city under the fairy mountain. There were hundreds of millions of people in the city. They were either farming, doing business, studying or attending church, or riding horses and whipping their whips. In short, Xiang He is not the evil person who destroys the Dao as you said."
Chen Yuan didn't understand why they saw two completely different pictures when they were looking at the same door.
Maybe the scene inside the door is an illusion. What you think in your heart is different, so what you see is different.
However, the story about the braid made Chen Yuan become interested in her identity.
If, as Tong Xiaopeng said, she entered the secret palace of the imperial dynasty out of curiosity, then she must be from the royal family, and only the royal family has the opportunity to access the secret palace, and ordinary mortals cannot have the opportunity.
If this girl really comes from the royal family of the Da Qi Dynasty, her status must be higher than that of the Ninth Prince.
"I have been with the girl for more than a day, and I still don't know her name. Is she willing to tell her?" Chen Yuan suddenly asked.
"Zhao Xingyu. What's your name?" Braid asked.
"Chen Yuan comes from a small mountain village."
In this way, the two of them were swimming along the underground river while chatting about some irrelevant topics.
During this period, Chen Yuan learned that the nine princes were competing for the throne of the emperor, not only showing off their magical powers, but also reaching a point where they were incompatible with each other. Some colluded with demon cultivators in the world, some had liaisons with foreign enemies, and some went deep into the mountains in an attempt to find a powerful one. of opportunity.
For someone like the Ninth Prince, who had obtained the Nine Dragons Jade Seal in advance, he already had a half chance of successfully ascending to the position of emperor. However, even if the Nine Dragons Jade Seal successfully reaches the imperial capital, it may not necessarily belong to the Ninth Prince. The other eight princes are eager to grab the Jade Seal at the critical moment.
Another point is that the Daqi Dynasty advocates martial arts and attaches great importance to monks in the world. The prince's own strength also plays a vital role in his position as emperor.
Of course, the strength mentioned here does not simply refer to the prince's own strength, but also includes his ability to control the world. Only this ability to control the world can be considered true strength.
"Who do you want to be the emperor? The Ninth Prince or the First Prince?"
Chen Yuan was actually not interested in these court affairs, but got involved in this inevitable dispute out of helplessness.
"Third Prince!"
Zhao Xingyu gave an answer that surprised Chen Yuan. Shi Yangming once said that the Ninth Prince was diligent in his work, loved the people, and worked extra hard, so he was the most suitable to be the emperor. But in Zhao Xingyu's eyes, the most suitable one was the Third Prince who had no reputation.
Before Chen Yuan could ask the doubts in his mind, Zhao Xingyu, who had braided hair and braided hair, revealed the answer.
"The reputation of the Ninth Prince is indeed the highest, even higher than that of the First Prince. Among the common people, the Ninth Prince is also the most popular one. However, the world does not know that in order to avenge his mother, the Ninth Prince became a concubine. What crazy things he has done, and he has done too many unbelievable things. It can be said that in the heart of the Ninth Prince, all the people in the world are just objects to be used. If it is beneficial to him to take revenge, he will cherish it. Once it loses its use value, He will become his abandoned child if he takes another step forward."
"The third prince is different. He does not yearn for the supreme path of a monk, nor does he pursue the power to rule the world alone. In his heart, there is only the book in his hand."
Chen Yuan has never had any real contact with the nine princes and does not know them well, so he will not take Zhao Xingyu's words to heart. No matter who becomes the emperor in the end, it has little to do with him. He just wants to escape quickly. Open this whirlpool of imperial struggle and reach Zhongzhou as soon as possible.
The underground river flowed slowly. Chen Yuan and the two swam in the river for three or four hours, but they still didn't feel that it had come to an end. It was as if the underground river would never have an end and no one knew where it would lead?
"Hey, who is that...oh, his name is Chen Yuan, right? Do you feel that we are not swimming in any direction, but lingering in place?"
Zhao Xingyu's words made Chen Yuan suddenly realize the seriousness of the matter. They only talked and did not observe their surroundings carefully. If they were really wandering around, there was only one possibility.
It is that this underground river is not a real underground river, but someone did it deliberately. As for the flow of water, it is only a circular motion under the action of a certain force.
Stand still and look around.
Darkness, nothing but darkness, is nothing else. The only difference is that in the center of the water flow, there is a stone-like thing, floating there, sometimes sinking under the water, and sometimes emerging from other places.
Come to the "stone".
The two were surprised to find that it was not a stone at all, but more like a corner of the eaves.
Could it be that……
The two of them had a terrible guess: they did not leave the palace, but for some reason, they came to the top of the palace, which was under the underground river.
Looking at each other, the two of them didn't know what to do. If this continued, it would be impossible for them to leave the palace. Someone seemed to be deliberately preventing them from leaving, including those who entered the palace with Chen Yuan.
But Chen Yuan didn't know where they were now.
"Look, what is that?" Zhao Xingyu pointed to the sky.
Following the direction of Zhao Xingyu's finger, Chen Yuan discovered that there was a layer of hazy air above their heads. In the gray air, there was a vague shadow, which was large and long, like a snake.
But more like a dragon.
"Dragon burial place? Is it the real dragon buried under Luofeng Mountain?"
Chen Yuan did not dare to be careless, but quietly looked at the shadows in the mist in the air.
Suddenly, a sword light appeared from nowhere and stabbed straight at the shadow.
