He bowed respectfully and said, "This junior is willing to obey the arrangements of the Heavenly Palace and go through fire and water without hesitation."
As soon as one person stood up, more people stood up and obeyed the order, until finally, everyone said in unison, "In accordance with the decree of the Heavenly Palace, please make arrangements."
Seeing everyone's excited attitude, all the venerables looked at each other and nodded to each other.
Venerable Hongde signaled to Venerable Biyue, and Venerable Biyue responded, then stood up from the high platform, raised his hand and waved, only to see streaks of spiritual light flying towards everyone.
Everyone stretched out their hands to take it, but there were bottles of pills.
Zhao Ning got a bottle of elixir in her hand. The cork was slightly opened, and the fragrance of elixir was fragrant. It was a top-quality elixir used to resist evil spirits.
"You are already in the realm of golden elixir and Yuanying, and you have even formed the top-grade golden elixir and achieved the purple infant of heaven. You are not afraid of ordinary demonic energy, but the demon is not ordinary, and its cunning and disasters are difficult to fathom. This elixir is The Golden Yang Heart Condensation Pill can protect you from being disturbed by demonic energy in the battle between heavenly demons, but this kind of protection is only a small part. If you really don’t want to be demonized in the demonic energy, you have to rely on your own character."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for considering us."
Zhao Ning knew that this elixir was a top-quality elixir. He thought it was a recipe obtained from Haoyang back then, and he had been waiting for this moment since three thousand years.
The venerables glanced at everyone until they finally landed on the dozen or so people standing aside.
In addition to the seven people selected through the Kyushu Competition, there are also Zhao Ning, Xiang Hongxuan, Shi Yueze, Zhan Xuexuan, Yan Ran, Ting Lan and Meng Congyi.
Venerable Hongde raised his eyes and looked out at the vast sea of clouds. The brilliance of the Golden Crow was unexpectedly bright at the moment, and the sea of clouds seemed to outline a golden thread. "Let's do this."
He stood up, and the other Yuanshen Masters followed suit.
Only a voice that sounded like a sigh or a murmur was heard, "It's time."
Venerable Hongde waved the fly whisk on his arm, but saw that the top of the heavenly palace had become blurry, and what he saw when he raised his eyes was heavy clouds.
Several venerables stood in the center, and the rest of the Yuanying monks and Jindan masters stood around them, looking up at the sky as they raised their heads.
The next moment, Venerable Hongde raised his hand, and a token appeared in his hand. As the power around him gathered on the token, the sages also cast spells, and all the power gathered on the token. Above, as the brilliance on the token flashed, a pillar of spiritual light was seen soaring into the sky. The next moment, the clouds in the sky seemed to be disturbed by something, surrounding the pillar of spiritual light and stacking upwards one after another until a line appeared. Through the passage, they saw a hollow, but on the other side of the hollow was another mist-shrouded situation.
Many cultivators were shocked and speechless. Some people murmured to themselves, this is the legendary Shixu Heavenly Road, does it open the first heaven?
Before they could get the answer, the moment the passage opened, a strong wind suddenly blew from it. The wind was filled with blood and malice, and for an instant the surrounding area was covered in blood.
The other cultivators were shocked again, it was a demon.
Sure enough, the next moment, a huge hand poked its way in from the edge of the crack. The hand was huge, but skinny, and its whole body was pitch black, like a mixed dark cloud.
"presumptuous."
Venerable Hongde snorted coldly. When he turned the spell in his hand, the token also turned in the same direction. The next moment, the aura in the token rushed towards the claw.
Then two streaks of blood were seen across the crack, and there seemed to be a shriek in the air, and then the claw shattered.
And then, the broken claws fell downwards like fragments.
The fragments looked like rain, and many people stared at them, looking at the malice and demonic energy wrapped around the fragments. For a moment, someone reacted and immediately cast a spell to crush the fragments into pieces.
As the powder dispersed, someone pinched the exorcism before completely erasing the remaining power on the fragment.
Everyone secretly sweated in their hearts, but at this moment, they heard Venerable Hongde approvingly applauding.
"Yes, you all know how to completely remove the demonic energy before you enter the Nine Heavens. This astuteness is really rare."
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief at this compliment and bowed to His Holiness.
It's just that the expressions of the venerables didn't look too good.
Zhao Ning raised her eyes to look at the crack. What was opened here was the first level of heaven. During the Kunxu Competition, Tianyuan Zhongyu Ping took the lead and wiped out some of the scattered demons of the first level. It's only been a few years now, but I don't want the devil to come again.
Moreover, Zhao Ning looked at the surging clouds and could clearly feel that there was a demon hiding in them.
I think the market was getting more and more uneasy at this time.
Several people looked at each other, turned the spells in their hands, and the seals in the sky crack rotated. The next moment, several rays of light hit everyone, and then a suction force seemed to transport them to other places.
Zhao Ning understood that this was heading to the first heaven.
After the rest of the people were transported to the first heaven, several sages looked at them and said, "You just need to follow me and don't be affected by the ninth heaven."
"yes."
As soon as the answer came, they saw the universe in their sleeves and brought them all into the first heaven.
Returning to the first level of the sky again, the clouds are floating, and it is unexpectedly quiet and quiet.
Shang Xia and others looked around, "Where are the people? Where have the rest of them gone?"
Venerable Hongde seemed to respond to his inquiry, but it was just like a point in the void, and the waves spread around. Zhao Ning saw that the layers of clouds had changed.
But they saw that the people who logged in here had fallen into the memory of the cloud demon. They crossed their legs on the cloud, and the cloud demon revolved around them.
Until a certain moment, the first person defeated the memory and walked out of it, followed by the second, third... and even more.
They saw Tiangong watching in a daze, and for a moment they were ashamed.
The venerables were expressionless, just waiting for everyone to come out. The venerables were about to arrange the garrison in this important place based on what they had just experienced.
But at this moment, there was faint restlessness in the clouds, and traces of demonic energy were mixed in it. Its density was so dense that it was difficult to find the demon's body for a while, but instead he felt a little scared.
A demon poked its head out from the nearest place. The cultivator next to him was almost startled and tentatively moved back to avoid it. However, under so many eyes, he bravely raised his hand and pinched a spell. , suppressed the demon, and the cultivator discovered that this demon was not powerful. It was entirely because of his fear of the demon that it seemed too powerful.
Lord Tiangong did not wait much, they still had more things to do.
So they cast their spells at the same time, and the magic aura spread out in circles, sweeping the entire first heaven. Zhao Ning seemed to be able to hear the screams of the demons, which were the demons' wails before they died. .
Probably because there were not many powerful demons, this round of strangulation went very smoothly. Soon, the first heaven fell into silence, and even the cloud demons surrendered to the pressure of the venerable.
Venerable Hongde said to Leng Shuanglong, "There is one person left to guard here. One is for final defense, and the other is to protect Kyushu to prevent any accidents in Kyushu."
"Yes." Leng Shuanglong responded. She selected a few monks from the rest of the Yuanying monks and Jindan monks who performed well in the illusion and were not disturbed by the demons to station in the first heaven.
The other venerables glanced at each other and agreed with this arrangement. They then gestured to each other. The next moment, they felt a huge sense of oppression coming over them.
Zhao Ning raised her eyes to look at them, only to see them using mysterious and ancient magic arts at the same time. Zhao Ning seemed to hear ancient tones in her ears, as if they were summoning something.
Everyone around found that the surrounding clouds were tsunamis on the sea, which forced the cultivators to gather towards the center and grab the spiritual treasures in their hands as a precaution.
Zhao Ning sensed that there seemed to be a strange roar in the clouds, which seemed to be responding to the whispers of the sages.
At this moment, Zhao Ning felt something was wrong, and felt uneasy. It was the demons gathering.
She raised her hand and pulled one of the golden elixir masters aside, and saw a demonic shadow suddenly appeared next to him, but she could clearly feel the fear of these demons.
The next moment, more demonic figures were seen rolling in from the clouds. There were thousands and hundreds of them. There was no way to count them. But fortunately, these demonic figures were at the golden elixir level at most.
It is most likely that the monks who mistakenly entered the first heaven were disturbed by the demons and their souls were demonized, resulting in this state.
The gathering now does not look like they are here to attack them, but like they are being driven here by something.
Sure enough, the next moment, I saw something in the cloud tearing open the space and walking towards me step by step.
Everyone was stunned. They saw a huge figure on all sides, but they couldn't see clearly what the body looked like.
They were also made of clouds, and it wasn't until their bodies separated from the clouds, or the cloud demon surrendered under their feet, that they could see what they were.
"Four divine beasts?" someone murmured to himself.
"Yes, it's Suzaku, Xuanwu, Qinglong and White Tiger." Someone echoed, "But why is it like this? Do they have no substance?"
These are just the gathering of cloud demons. Zhao Ning thought.
This may be the ancient aura that made these cloud demons form the ancient beasts that lived in the first heaven.
When these divine beast clouds took a step forward, the screams of those demonic shadows became even more terrifying, but they had no way to fight back and were quickly devoured by the clouds of the four holy beasts.
There is no way to completely eliminate these demonic shadows. These four holy beasts are probably the last protection of the first heaven.
They stopped at the same time, freezing in all directions, quietly watching the actions of the venerables like cloud sculptures.
At this moment, Leng Shuanglong took the cultivators she selected aside and bowed to all the sages. She said, "Shuanglong will take all the cultivators to protect the last level of the Nine Heavens. If Shuanglong is born, no demon can enter Kyushu."
"Death for Kyushu!" The other cultivators behind her said at the same time.
The rest of the cultivators looked at them, as if they were infected at this moment. That feeling was a kind of trust and last hope. Someone rarely smiled and said, "We will not let you fall into a fatal crisis."
This is probably what they said. For a moment, everyone looked at each other and smiled. Then, everyone's eyes became more determined. Finally, they bowed to each other and said no more.
The Venerable arranged everything properly and nodded at the same time. Then, with a turn of magic, the brilliance penetrated into the bodies of the four holy beasts. A neighing sound was heard. The four holy beasts shot out brilliance toward the sky at the same time, and the brilliance was in the air. The clouds in the high sky spread out, like rays of light, but more like a round light mirror.
Zhao Ning realized that the passage out of the first heaven was the only way to enter the second heaven. Each heaven was blocked layer by layer, in order to allow the remaining demons to be reduced in the layers of barriers without being able to escape. It affects Kyushu.
"Everyone, let's go."
Venerable Hongde said.
As he spoke, he took a step forward and entered the second heaven.
The other cultivators followed him into the second heaven, and their bodies passed through the circular light mirror.
Zhao Ning fell behind and glanced at Leng Shuanglong. Leng Shuanglong gave her a rare smile to reassure her.
Zhao Ning didn't stay any longer and went to the second heaven. But as soon as he entered the second heaven, he felt the presence of pressure. This pressure seemed to be the power of heavenly calamity.
Before his vision could be restored, he felt a crisis approaching. Zhao Ning subconsciously dodged, but just after he had escaped a few feet, another chill hit his back.
Zhao Ning had no choice but to make a backhand seal and block him from behind.
When he turned his head again, what he saw was a strange thing with a human face and a dragon body, but its whole body was transparent. It was the wanton black devilish energy around it that made it behave like a dragon, but in fact it had become a withered skeleton.
What attacked Zhao Ning was its huge tail. Under such an offensive, Zhao Ning took a few steps back, and then used the Taiwuwu Dao method to avoid it within the narrow siege area with the power of the first line. , and finally escaped the attack range of this thing,
In the surrounding area, the situation of the remaining cultivators was not good. Some of the spiritual root practitioners were unable to do anything because of such an offensive. Their aura attributes were naturally suppressed.
The lightning was wrapped around their bodies, lashing their bodies inch by inch, but at the same time, the demonic energy invaded their minds in waves, which made them struggle continuously and in great pain.
But some people can break away from these thunder lights. They forcefully burst out their own power and shake away the thunder lights around them. At the moment before these thunder lights are bound again, they use the spirit treasure to wrap these thunder lights on the spirit treasures, and then shout, After hitting these monsters, the monsters let out a long roar, making a roar that shook the sky and the earth.
That was truly the sound of heavenly thunder and calamity, which was unbearable for everyone. At a certain moment, they even felt that their hearts were about to be shattered by the sound.
As for Jindan Zhenren further away who had not been greatly affected by the thunder, at the moment when the thunder sounded, some people were shaken and even spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Shi Lei, are you okay?" Yanran suddenly appeared next to Shi Lei. She held onto Shi Lei in fear. Shi Lei shook his head, "This pressure is okay, it's just that it's a bit to the limit."
"Yanran." Venerable Yanyue called out. She was not satisfied with Yanran's attention. She glanced at Shi Lei and said, "The sound of thunder here is the power of ancient times. It is the first parry limit in Jiuzhongtian. If you continue to If you can't endure the first one, you may not be able to pass the next few."
There were many people injured like Shi Lei, but Shi Lei's recovery speed and the state of forceful support surprised everyone.
"I can hold on, Lord Yanyue." Shi Lei said, "Since I can pass the test, I will definitely be able to withstand this kind of thunder."
"A Lei." Yan Ran looked worriedly.
Shi Lei shook his head, patted her hand to show that nothing was wrong, and then looked in the direction of Ting Lan. Ting Lan still cared about Shi Lei, but she seemed more restrained in Yanran's actions.
