The night is dead silent.
The blood-red moon looks extremely gorgeous in the Gobi Desert at night. The gravel near the Heaven and Earth Altar emerges with a crystal-clear bright color, like grains of red agate.
However, soon, a space aura of destruction appeared from the black cracks in the sky.
"Boom!"
The space cracks deep inside the Heaven and Earth Altar are getting bigger and bigger, and they continue to extend outwards, forming one chaotic zone after another. The big floor sinks into the void space, and then collapses internally.
Zhao Huai, Yu Qinghan, Yin Nanyu, Cai Yuxiang, and the heads of various sects stood in the Yellow Sand Gobi, looking at the scene in front of them, but they were helpless.
After the monster army retreated, the remaining human monks began to clean up the mess, buried the bodies of their dead compatriots, and erected a stone tablet with the inscription "Anxi Mansion" on the top of the city.
After Zhao Huai regained his composure, he led some powerful elders towards the depths of Xizhou, hoping to determine the whereabouts of the demon army.
But along the way, no trace of the demon clan was seen.
"The space of the world in Xizhou has completely collapsed, and the invasion of the wild world has accelerated this process. Soon, this place will become a forbidden area of the world. In the future, more monsters will come to the immortal world through the cracks. The premise is that there are demons in the ninth realm and above who can tear through the shackles of space and send it over. Only they can cross the space and pass through the shackles of the rules of heaven and earth."
Yu Qinghan stared at the unstable space, his eyes flickered, his face moved slightly, and he spoke in a tone as calm as possible.
"This victory is only temporary. Only when the human monks become strong enough to deal with all the major worlds can they have the capital to gain a foothold."
Zhao Huai's white clothes were blown up by the whistling wind and sand, and his expression was quite sighing.
Yu Qinghan looked into the distance and saw a large area of ruins in the moonlight. He squinted and said, "The Shinra Empire has finally been destroyed. If you stand on the top of the sand dunes, you can still see the remains of the former empire."
Zhao Huai knew that he had arrived in Cairo, the former capital of the Shinra Empire.
Yin Nanyu noticed that the black and white beads buried in the snow-white chest gave off a faint light, and calmly reminded:
"There is a demon."
"Boom!"
As soon as he finished speaking, dust began to fly in the west direction.
A group of violent beasts rushed out of the blood-red desert, carrying a pungent smell of blood.
In just a moment, Zhao Huai recognized it.
They were hundreds of black man-eating ants. They were very big, one meter in size, and numerous in number. They were all demons without intelligence. Their strength was not high, but their defense was amazing. Even with their hard black carapace, they were Brother Ji tried to break it open, but it took a lot of effort.
They make a living by eating the corpses of living creatures and can reproduce continuously.
Zhao Huai felt that these man-eating ants should have made a living by eating the corpses of people in the Shinra Empire and then left them here.
Because the demon army has withdrawn, it is impossible to keep the demons stationed here.
"It's not that small. I don't know how many people it has eaten."
Yu Qinghan couldn't help but frown when he saw the dense scene in front of him.
"Today's Shinra Imperial Capital has long been reduced to a dead city. These man-eating ants all escaped from the eggs hatched by the Demon King." Yin Nanyu explained calmly.
She watched with her own eyes how the Shinra Empire perished.
On the day when the rift between heaven and earth opened, countless demon clans came out, and the monks of the Shinra Empire fought bloody battles, including the monks and bodhisattvas of the Shenpo Sect.
But in the end, it was still unable to withstand the suppression of the major demon kings.
Before the fall of the Imperial Capital, the king of the Shinra Empire once approached the Imperial Dynasty for help, but was firmly rejected by Yin Nanyu.
Because she knows very well that even if the entire Xizhou is tied together, they cannot be a match for the barbarian army.
As a result, she evacuated all the people in the major cities to the southern suburbs, leaving only empty cities deep in the desert. Even if the demon clan wanted to snipe her, it would be extremely difficult.
The once prosperous Cairo Imperial City perished under the trampling of the barbarians. All the royal family were captured and raised. The king and his concubines committed suicide because they did not want to be abused by the monsters.
Then the entire Shinra Empire became a slaughterhouse and a purgatory on earth. Whether ordinary people or monks, their fate was the same.
Zhao Huai stood on the edge of the ruins of the imperial capital, his face calm and calm, his spreading consciousness locked on the man-eating ant in front of him, and he stepped forward heavily.
"Uh-huh!"
Grains of sand and gravel were suspended, and magic power rippled in an instant. Sword energy was everywhere, and sharp sword lights emitted from the gravel.
"call out--"
There was a flash of light.
Gravels flew out from the sky and disappeared in front of everyone.
Not long after, there was a harsh tearing sound on the yellow sand. The sword energy had torn all the living creatures within a hundred miles into pieces, and some of them flowed into the empty space cracks and were swallowed by nothingness.
"Let's go and see the city."
After doing this, Zhao Huai jumped up, turned into a rainbow light, and rushed towards the ruins of Cairo Capital City.
Yu Qinghan, Yin Nanyu and the people behind them all followed.
The imperial capital of Cairo.
This is an ancient city, majestic and towering, like a giant steel beast lying in the desert. However, the solid walls are full of pits and long-dried blood, telling that an amazing war once broke out here, exuding a desolate smell. .
Through them, Zhao Huai seemed to be able to see through them at a glance and saw a ruthless massacre of hundreds of thousands. Everyone rushed into the imperial capital to take refuge. The population reached one million, but in the end the city was still destroyed.
He stood at the gate of the city that was both majestic and riddled with holes. He saw with his own eyes the dead bodies and bones everywhere, and the rivers of blood. They were all stinky and black, which was very disgusting.
A ghastly white-headed temple stands in front of the magnificent palace.
However, Zhao Huai's expression was very solemn.
Because this battle was obviously extremely tragic, many mortals were slaughtered and eaten raw, and were swallowed by the wild monsters.
"Amitabha."
Abbot Lingyin, who was following Zhao Huai, stood in front of the Jingguan of a mountain of corpses. He closed his eyes and murmured, constantly reciting the salvation scriptures.
"It's too awful."
Cai Yuxiang felt very heavy, and her voice trembled a little when she said this.
After all, not long ago, Anxi Mansion almost followed the footsteps of the Shinra Empire.
What's more, the massacre here was far better than that in Anxi Mansion the day before yesterday. There were also corpses of children and women, which was very heart-wrenching and uncomfortable to watch.
She came to the withered body of a little girl, squatted down, looked at the bloody young body, and couldn't help but shed a few tears from the corners of her eyes.
All the monks present were silent.
The only one who could still remain calm was Yin Nanyu, whose face remained indifferent and calm, with no emotional fluctuations visible.
Yu Qinghan's face was full of pity and complexity. Looking at these corpses, she couldn't help but think of the past crusade against Dayan, when hundreds of thousands of Dayan soldiers were tricked and killed by her brother.
When she found out, it was already too late. Yu Shihuang killed her first and then reported it, without even asking her about it.
All Zhao Huai could do was to hold back the anger in his heart from bursting out, clenching his fists tightly.
Seeing his reaction, Yin Nanyu said with deep eyes: "This is the law of the jungle between heaven and earth, survival of the fittest. If the immortal world has been closed for hundreds of years, it will naturally be massacred by creatures from other worlds. Today is Xizhou, and tomorrow it may be Zhongzhou's turn. , then no one will sympathize with us.”
"You are so cold-blooded. Is there anything else important in your eyes?"
Zhao Huai asked.
Yin Nanyu's expression did not change and he replied calmly: "This is just the beginning. You have also seen the creatures of the Blood Demon Clan, Yaksha Clan, and Shura Clan. Soon, more invaders will come to this world, and there will be more Many people will die. If you want to survive, I advise you to put away the weakness and anger in your heart, and don't let hatred cover your eyes and affect your judgment."
After speaking, she took a step forward, holding the black and white beads in her hand, and said: "There are still people alive here, but they are well hidden."
Yu Qinghan glanced at Zhao Huai and gestured slightly with his phoenix eyes.
Zhao Huai nodded and walked towards the depths of the capital.
