Just when Ji Xiu screamed, Zhao Ning suddenly pinched a spell and pressed the seal on his heart. As the stream of the seal rotated, something was pulled out.
——Demon species.
Even Zhao Ning felt it was "hot" and threw it away in an instant. Just as he was about to destroy it, the demon seed suddenly disappeared.
Shi Yueze's eyes widened with fear, but he did not dare to delay. Looking at Shang Xia again, he followed Zhao Ning's method and actually grabbed a demon seed from Shang Xia's heart.
Ji Xiu had already woken up. When he saw the demon species, he almost collapsed.
He watched the demon twisting in Shi Yueze's palm, turning into a streak of blood and dispersing in the air.
"No, no, no, this is a trial illusion. The calmness is all fake." He took a deep breath and comforted himself.
After a while, Shang Xia also woke up.
The five people gathered together, Shi Yueze frowned and said, "This trial place of Tianyuan Zhongyu Ping is too much. What if I really have a mental breakdown?"
"Let's go to the front first." Zhao Ning said.
She didn't say much, she thought, this was the Heavenly Palace's announcement in advance.
Zhao Ningfei flew ahead, crossing the Kunxu area and entering the mortal world. There was no life here, no people, the ground was covered with dust, and the whole world fell into a suffocating silence.
After flying a little distance, Shi Yueze was really irritated by the suffocation feeling, and then he said, "Is it just the appearance here and no one at all?"
"Illusions," Ji Xiu said, "Some illusions are just a test of one's mind."
This way everyone calmed down a little.
But the journey was long, and no one knew where they were going. They said they wanted to break the mystery of this trial place, but there were no clues at all. Even the mirror in the sky showed calmness.
For a long time, they didn't see their companions. Nandu was a little strange, "Where have the other masters gone?"
Everyone couldn't get the answer, so they could only continue to move forward. The whole world was dead silent. After what they had experienced in the sky just now, they didn't dare to fly high, so they simply landed on the ground and took a walk.
The breeze blew on the ground, and the accumulated dust kept blowing on my face. There was no smell, only the irritability that stopped my breathing.
Mortal houses are not as well preserved as those in the cultivation world. After losing popularity, the houses here quickly collapsed and countless weeds grew on the ground.
Zhao Ning went deeper into the village and saw an altar in the center of the village. The flames on the altar were crackling and burning. She turned her ears slightly and heard the sound as if it was about to burst the brain membrane. She fell into chaos for a moment, but she heard countless ancient sayings murmuring. , like praying.
"What on earth is this place?" Others were puzzled, "Did you hear those sounds?"
No one said anything, "Why can this flame still be maintained now?"
Many questions left everyone unable to answer for a while, but at a certain moment, they suddenly felt something strange, turned around suddenly, and saw Nandu suddenly kneeling on the ground.
"Nandu!" "Nanzhenren!"
They screamed, Nandu seemed to have lost his mind and kept banging his head.
"It's not true—it's not true—"
Shi Yueze tried to awaken Nandu with an exorcism spell, but Nandu seemed to have completely fallen into delusion, his eyes had turned white, and his consciousness began to fade.
Zhao Ning pinched a flash of light and shouted into Nandu's mind, "Stick to your heart!"
Nandu's last glimmer of clarity seemed to have received something. He opened his mouth and tried to make a sound, until finally, his voice hoarsely shouted, "Broken——"
Then a mouthful of blood spurted out, but his body returned to his control, and he threw himself directly on the ground, looking miserable.
Seeing this, everyone gathered around, "Nandu, are you okay?"
Nandu recovered a little, "I saw a lot of chaos. Everyone was going in the same direction, but they didn't run for long before they all died. It was the light, the light -"
"Go quickly, go quickly, get out of here!"
Everyone was surprised, but had no other choice at the moment, so they flew forward at the same time. In the mortal world, the spiritual energy was thin, and the demonic energy integrated into it was also much thinner. Zhao Ning and others took a breath of relief.
But before she had gone far, she heard the sound of fighting again, and she saw that it was Master Yuanying who came in together. She was entangled by two monsters. Looking at the clothes of the monsters, she was afraid that they were also the three people who came in.
After everyone rescued her, they discovered that she was... "Didn't you realize the power of creation on the Qianren Mountains?"
An extremely frightened expression appeared on her face, "Something happened. The aurora is shrinking. It's not creation but destruction."
"What?" Everyone was surprised at his answer, and then heard her say again, "All the people who were meditating on it before have been erased. Hurry, let's go."
It was the first time Zhao Ning heard the word "erasure" from someone else. She subconsciously glanced in the direction of the sky. The aurora was not bright because it was far away. It was like a piece of rays falling in the same place.
Beautiful, but not dangerous.
But hearing him say this seemed to be fatal.
The man didn't want to stay at all, so he just left them and went in another direction.
Zhao Ning and others hesitated, but they didn't have much time. If the aurora continued to shrink, they could only go to one place, and all the traces here pointed in a certain direction.
Everyone said nothing more and went straight to a place.
I don’t know how long the flight lasted. The flight seemed to be silent. Everyone had no intention of talking and could only keep going in a certain direction.
For some reason, Zhao Ning felt that the sky was getting brighter. She looked up and saw strange light reflected in the mirror in the sky.
At this moment, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly became richer, and at the same time, the demonic energy also became abundant.
Ji Xiu suddenly stopped and knelt directly on the ground.
"What's wrong, Ji Xiu!" Shi Yueze shouted.
Ji Xiu, on the other hand, was holding onto the sand with his bare hands, as if he was restraining himself.
"Get away quickly." Nandu suddenly said, "He is possessed by a demon."
Everyone was separated by several feet in an instant, only to see Ji Xiu raise his eyes sinisterly, his pupils had been completely vomited out, and there were countless wounds on his face.
His expression was distorted, but his consciousness was still struggling, "Hurry up, I can't hold on anymore."
"Ji Xiu, give up your body." Zhao Ning suddenly said.
Ji Xiu was startled and rushed out of the body. Then a beam of light flew out, only to see that the body was instantly transformed into a demon.
When Nascent Soul saw this, he didn't stop at all, and struck a magic weapon. The magic weapon hit the body, and the body was melted even before it was completely demonized.
Nascent Soul was a little exhausted, and finally fell on Shi Yueze's shoulders.
The condition is not good.
Ji Xiu said, "I don't know how long it can last, but I feel something will happen if it continues like this."
Zhao Ning and others went forward again. At this time, there was no other situation. On the ground were the corpses of Master Yuanying who came with them. There were two or three bodies. They had just died not long ago.
No one knows what happened. They only know that the crowd keeps going in a certain direction.
Until the end, more and more corpses piled up on the ground, as if after a catastrophe, everyone died in one place.
Everyone was shocked to realize that something was wrong here, but it was too late. Shi Yueze swayed and grabbed Ji Xiu's Nascent Soul with his backhand.
"Shi Yueze!" Zhao Ning shouted, raised his hand and pinched a spell, and the spiritual light shone between Shi Yueze's eyebrows, "Wake up."
But Shi Yueze couldn't control it anymore. His whole body seemed to be twisted, struggling constantly, and there seemed to be a ghost flashing on his body.
"Let go of Master Ji." Shang Xia and Nan Du also came to help.
With the combined efforts of everyone, Shi Yueze was finally pulled back.
Shi Yueze was confused, and Ji Xiu's Nascent Soul divine light was already very dim.
But it was just an interlude. The sky seemed to be getting closer and closer to them, and they could only feel the danger approaching inch by inch.
Until everyone and the other surviving Yuanying masters gathered together, this was Netherworld, Daxuan Mountain, and Jiuyou. Everyone was asking what kind of secret realm this was, but Shi Yueze couldn't tell.
But now is no longer the time to question, the aurora is approaching.
When the aurora enveloped the entire Jiuzhou, Zhao Ning felt an irresistible force of obliteration.
She suddenly looked back and saw the people around her dissipated into ashes one by one.
"Ji Xiu..." "Shi Yueze..." "Shang Xia..."
She called several names, but in the end she only made slight movements of her lips and no sound came out.
The aurora disappeared quickly, but at the same time it also took away the breath of all living things, except Zhao Ning.
Zhao Ning raised her hand and stared at her palm. Yes, she still existed. She confirmed repeatedly that everyone had been wiped out, but she still existed.
However, this seems to make no sense.
Zhao Ning disappeared on the spot, walked out of the ordinary world, and reached the extreme level of spiritual consciousness. All living things died, the vegetation withered, the rocks weathered, the buildings collapsed, and everything was desolate.
Her body trembled slightly and she stood there for a moment. A crack in the void appeared behind her. Zhao Ning instantly turned around and entered. What appeared again was another mundane world, exactly the same as the one she saw just now, lifeless.
The void was shattered again, and Zhao Ning appeared in Kunxu. There were still some traces of humans and monsters in Kunxu, but they were only traces.
Sects, families, celestial beings, cities, and villages... there are no people, no beasts, and no life.
The art of Shattering the Void was still being used. Zhao Ning crossed the sky and sea and entered the Demonic Wasteland of the West. The Demonic Wasteland was empty and there was no trace of the monsters. For the first time in tens of thousands of years, the Demonic Wasteland of the West returned to the appearance of the ordinary world of cultivation.
Zhao Ning went to Netherworld again, to Nether City. When he went to Nether City, the soul did not exist, the ghosts on earth never appeared, and Nether City was empty.
She went to Chengxuan, Bianzhou, Chiyang, and even Zhuzhou to see if the villages that had strangely summoned people from other worlds back then could still respond to people from other worlds. The answer was yes.
Until the end, Zhao Ning returned to Kunxu, walking in the deserted mountains in a daze.
Everything told her that there was only one person left in the world, and that was herself.
At some point, the loneliness almost swallowed Zhao Ning up.
This time lasted for a long time, so long that Zhao Ning had forgotten that she had entered this place for a trial. She seemed to just stay in this place, as if she was really experiencing the world after the Great Purge.
Unknowingly, Zhao Ning walked to Kongzhao Mountain where he used to be. This inconspicuous hilltop seemed to have existed in ancient times.
She stood on the boulder at the top of the mountain. This boulder was probably the core of the formation of the Mangrove Courtyard tens of thousands of years later.
He lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.
"Do you want to kill yourself?" a voice asked.
Zhao Ning didn't answer, or maybe she didn't hear the voice clearly at all.
She straightened up and rebuilt the mangrove courtyard on the top of the mountain, restoring the mangrove courtyard to the way she remembered it. She spent the rest of her days meditating and practicing here.
After five hundred years, Zhao Ning's cultivation level has reached the peak of Yuanying. She entered the stage of becoming a god without hesitation. After losing her cultivation level, everything needs to be completed by the physical body.
Zhao Ning walked through Jiuzhou again, and this journey was another five hundred years. Five hundred years later, Zhao Ning returned to the mangrove courtyard and cleaned the courtyard every day. He repeated this process for three thousand years, until finally, Zhao Ning finally found a clue. Tianji, she touched the God Transformation Tribulation.
She looked up at the sky, the mirror was distorted and the thunder snake was dancing wildly.
