one year later.
Western Qiongzhou.
The nameless river flows quietly, but suddenly the two banks break apart, and the turbulent river water releases in all directions.
The spiritual veins that grew along the river suddenly broke into several pieces under the ravages of the formation's restrictions, bursting out with rich spiritual energy.
"Article 192!"
Zhou Yi skillfully took out the map of Jiuzhou, which showed that more than 30% of Qiongzhou was covered with blood-red crosses.
"At this rate, the spiritual veins of the Nine Continents will be exterminated in twenty to thirty years. By then, any demon king or corpse demon you may have will be wiped out in the apocalyptic world!"
With his hands pinched, hundreds of formation flags were raised from the ground, he put them into his sleeves and continued to fly westward.
As the spiritual veins continue to be destroyed, Zhou Yi becomes more and more proficient, and there are different formation restrictions for different types of spiritual veins.
For example, this set of formation flags integrates more than ten formations such as water cutting, ground splitting, confinement, and annihilation. It is specially used to destroy the spiritual veins in the water. The Book of Changes named it the Shui Shui Formation.
Most spiritual veins are born from mountains and rivers, so there is also the Jue Mountain Formation.
There are also a few spiritual veins generated underground in the plains, which are the most troublesome to destroy and also delay Zhou Yi's advancement.
"We have collected a lot of accompanying spiritual creatures, but it is a pity that they have been in low status for many years. We cannot wait until they mature with their spiritual veins and transplant them to the Kunlun Cave. We will find ways to cultivate them in the future!"
Zhou Yi shook his head helplessly, any spiritual object contaminated with the word "Xiantian" has many mysterious functions.
For example, the stone basin just found from the spiritual veins at the bottom of the river can gather the light of the sun, moon and stars to condense into spiritual water without using any magic.
It's a pity that the grade of spiritual water is too low. For Zhou Yi, it can only be used to make wine, and the taste is unusual compared to spiritual water.
If this spiritual vein is not destroyed, the stone basin will nourish it for another three to five thousand years, and it will gradually be promoted to a magic weapon or even a spiritual treasure. The condensed spiritual water can be used by the Nascent Soul to increase its magic power!
"That's all, it's just one era left and right!"
"When the spiritual energy is revived again and other spiritual objects can be generated, Pindao can collect them at will."
Zhou Yi's spiritual consciousness swept across all directions, and soon found another spiritual vein, which was located among the mountains, and he arranged the Jue Mountain Formation with ease.
…
Chizhou.
Nameless barren mountain, hundreds of feet underground.
The golden corpse meditated, increased its mana, and reached the level of fake elixir in just one year.
"Practice in enlightenment all the time, faster than seizing the heavenly spiritual root. My magical powers and techniques have not changed for two thousand years, and I have gained new insights in recent days."
"The Avenue of Return to the Void is very close at hand!"
At this time.
The spirit corpses attacking Yunzhou simultaneously came back with news that their army of corpse demons was only a thousand miles away from Xianjing. It would take at least two years to destroy the alliance between the two races!
"Jiejiejie, the overlord of the Nine Continents is at your fingertips!"
When the golden corpse smiled proudly, another message came into his mind. It came from the spirit corpse guarding Qiongzhou.
——The spiritual veins in the western part of Qiongzhou have been cut off in a large area, the surrounding spiritual energy has dropped, and the central area can only maintain the state of refining energy...
"The spiritual vein is cut off?"
The golden corpse frowned, checking the pictures sent back by the spiritual corpse, and felt something bad in his heart.
"Quickly and thoroughly investigate the reason for the isolation of the spiritual veins!"
Spiritual veins are far more important than ruling the Nine Continents. If all spiritual veins are cut off, all plans will be in vain.
Moreover, with the current strength of the Golden Corpse, there is no way for him to make a blood sacrifice again, and he will have no choice but to wait for death!
…
Another year.
Zhou Yi destroyed 60% to 70% of Qiongzhou's spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy in such a huge area was extremely thin.
Although the corpse demon has no intelligence, it can seek advantages and avoid disadvantages on its own, and keeps migrating in all directions following the direction of strong spiritual energy.
“The effect is far better than expected!”
"If I had known it was so simple, why would I have to fight with the golden corpse and directly open the final method again. Anyway, with the Kunlun Cave, the realm will not fall. After a long time, it may be possible to condense the baby naturally!"
Zhou Yi has no objection to the end of the law. Instead, he has the Taoist Fruit of Immortality and the Kunlun Cave. Jiuzhou has always been the safest place in the end of the law.
The escape light flew quickly, the consciousness swept across, and continued to search for spiritual veins.
A few days later.
An unnamed valley, deep and bottomless.
There are spiritual veins at the bottom of the valley, and the naturally generated mountain and river restrictions trap the spiritual energy in the valley and turn it into rising clouds.
"What a blessed place, it may become a sect's residence in the future!"
Zhou Yi said "It's a pity" on his lips, and moved his hands skillfully and without any delay, placing his zhenqi into the words "Ah Valley".
At this moment.
An angry shout came: "Where can this Taoist priest dare to destroy the spiritual veins and violate the law of heaven without fear of retribution?"
As soon as the words fell, countless corpse demons emerged from the ground, and a harsh dragon roar came from the sky.
Zhou Yi's eyes shone brightly, and he found that the sky and the earth were surrounded by corpse demons in all directions.
"The devil reacted very quickly. He mobilized tens of millions of corpse monsters to lay out the trap in advance. It took at least a year to prepare."
The zombie army on the ground was not arranged randomly, but was restrained by their bodies. Tens of millions were arranged in a huge formation to seal the void to prevent Zhou Yi from escaping.
"kill!"
At the command of the spirit corpse, thousands of corpse monsters opened their mouths and spit out evil evil energy. Under the influence of the formation's restriction, they merged and turned into a majestic river and swept towards Zhou Yi.
"The power is comparable to the peak of the golden elixir, and ordinary golden elixirs are no match."
Zhou Yi felt a little at ease, and a dark green tortoise shell appeared on his head, easily blocking the erosion of the Yin evil river. He watched carefully for a moment and headed south.
The great formation set up by thousands of corpse monsters is very powerful, but its own defense is too low.
Zhou Yi pinched the magic formula with his hands and used many thunder and fire techniques to smash tens of thousands of corpse demons in an instant. At the same time, he was constantly being washed away by the Yin evil river, but he relied on the Xuanwu Divine Armor to defend himself unparalleled, and he was able to bear the attack and break through to the outside.
The spirit corpse drove the bone dragon to spit poisonous fire, but it was still to no avail. Seeing Zhou Yi about to break the formation, his eyes flashed with soul fire and his breath suddenly changed.
"Jie Jie Jie! This golden corpse, fellow Taoist, does it look a little unfamiliar?"
"A poor Taoist named Sun Xing is just a nobody."
Zhou Yi responded casually, ignoring any attacks from the corpse demon, and continued to use spells to clear the way.
The golden corpse carefully observed the Xuanwu Divine Armor. It was not any treasure he knew, but he was relieved in his heart: "As long as it's not Tang Xuan's guy, a mere turtle shell can always be broken!"
He waved his hands to cast many magic spells. Such spells were aimed directly at the soul and were most suitable for breaking through defensive treasures.
No matter how bright the evil spell was, it could not get into Zhou Yi's body, and was completely blocked by the Xuanwu Divine Armor.
The golden corpse also used hundreds of magic and magical powers, but none of them could break through the defense, with a greedy look on its face.
"Such a treasure of body protection should belong to me!"
Half an hour later.
Zhou Yi endured the attacks all over the sky and continued to slaughter the corpse monsters. He finally broke out of the formation and broke through the restriction of the formation.
"Fellow Taoist, please stay, while I, the poor Taoist, go!"
After saying that, it turned into an escaping light, and disappeared into the sky amidst the furious curses of the golden corpse.
…
Since then.
Zhou Yi wandered around Jiuzhou, sometimes visiting Buddha Island, sometimes Chizhou, or Youzhou.
A hammer in the east and a mallet in the west.
Wherever it passed, the spiritual veins were severed, and the golden corpse jumped like thunder. However, the divided soul controlled the spiritual corpse, and Zhou Yi, who was protected by the precious treasure, could not be left at all.
With the lessons learned from the past, every time Zhou Yi destroyed the spiritual veins, he would consume hundreds of years of life. He used the small sky-cutting technique to predict the movements of the corpse demon, and never fell into encirclement and suppression again.
Seeing the spiritual veins constantly crumbling, Golden Corpse had no choice but to order the army of corpse demons to set up formations around the spiritual veins to stand firm.
However, it had little effect.
Zhou Yi was proficient in the restraints of both good and evil formations, and quietly escaped into the formation. Under the eyes of countless corpse monsters, he detonated his spiritual veins and left without looking back.
…
Five years later.
Youzhou.
The ancient hometown of the Heavenly Corpse Sect has reopened its gates.
Corpses are rampant and bone dragons are circling.
A set of steps made of bones leads directly to the main hall on the top of the mountain, and roars are heard constantly from the hall.
"Waste, idiot..."
"It should be thrown into the Nine Nether Demonic Fire and burned for ten thousand years..."
"Most of Qiongzhou, half of Buddha Island, Sanyi Qingzhou, and Eleven Jizhou, the veins are all cut off..."
"If this continues, won't my so-called rule of the Nine Continents become a joke?"
The golden corpse's eyes were about to burst, and he glanced coldly at the spiritual corpses in the hall. He could never imagine that the good situation could be caused by an insect flying around.
It is foreseeable that in another ten or twenty years, more than half of the Jiuzhou spiritual veins will be destroyed.
At that time, the spiritual energy will inevitably be diluted, which may delay the recovery process of the spiritual energy. If it cannot be promoted to Nascent Soul in five or six hundred years, the golden corpse will die at the end of its lifespan!
The spirit corpses in the temple bowed their heads and remained silent. They had complete spiritual intelligence, but their essence was that of the golden corpse.
Not to mention throwing away all the demonic fire to burn the soul, even if it is wiped out into ashes for no reason, there will be no thoughts or actions of resistance.
Absolute obedience!
The rage of the Golden Corpse is not directed at the Spiritual Corpse. After all, they all have separate souls in their bodies. As the only will of all the Corpse Demons in Jiuzhou, joy, anger, sorrow, and joy are more like lonely self-performances.
One of the spirit corpses came out under the control of the split soul, bowed and said: "Sect Master, you can surround and suppress the remaining human race, torture but not kill, and lure out the insect!"
Jin Zhi nodded with satisfaction and said to himself: "Very good, I'll leave this to you."
Another spirit corpse came out: "Sect Master, if the human race is fleeing to the depths of the East China Sea, we can build a bone flying boat to capture them all and keep them in captivity to threaten the insect from destroying the spiritual veins again!"
"very good."
The golden corpse nodded in admiration, as if he were manipulating a puppet to play with himself.
After a long time.
The anger in his heart gradually dissipated, and he waved his hand to order all the spirit corpses to retreat. The golden corpse sat alone in the main hall, quite lonely.
"After getting rid of that bug, Jiuzhou is vast and vast, but I am the only one left!"
At this time.
The voice of Han Chao was heard in his mind.
"Fellow Daoist Jin, no matter how many human races you hold as hostages, you can't lure that person away!"
Jin Shi asked: "Fellow Daoist Han said this, but what can be done?"
"That person carries a treasure to protect himself, and his defense is unparalleled. According to the information obtained by fellow Taoists, even Nascent Soul cannot break it."
Han Chao said: "Relying on this treasure, you are already in an invincible position. No matter how you defend it, one day the spiritual veins will be completely destroyed, and then the golden road will be cut off!"
"Although I don't want to admit it, I really can't do anything about that turtle shell."
The golden corpse frowned. What Han Chao said was not unreasonable. Now that the shackles of the earth are difficult to produce a golden elixir, Zhou Yi, who has Nascent Soul-level defense, has become a loophole in the way of heaven.
After waiting a hundred years, the world will further recover.
Many golden elixirs will inevitably be born in the army of hundreds of millions of corpse demons, so that they can guard the spiritual veins of the Nine Continents and prevent others from destroying them at will.
Han Chao reminded: "Fellow Daoist Jin cannot wait that long. Not to mention a hundred years, there will be very little Jiuzhou spiritual vein left in thirty or fifty years!"
The golden corpse was silent for a long time, and then said helplessly: "I have traveled across nine continents for more than two thousand years and have seen countless treasures, but I just don't recognize the turtle shell, and I don't know where the bugs came out."
"Fellow Taoist, we have exterminated all living beings in the Nine Continents and are burdened with endless karma. How can we not be catastrophic?"
Han Chao said in a persuasive way: "In the past, there was a poor Taoist master and an invincible Taoist king reincarnated, and then this precious treasure recognized its owner. It must be God's revenge!"
"What a thief? Humph!"
Jin Zhi raised his head and looked at the sky and said, "Fellow Daoist Han, please stop beating around the bush. If you have any means, just speak up!"
"The method is very simple, let go of the Immortal Corpse Pearl's ban!"
Han Chao said: "When Jiuzhou is shrouded in corpse energy, no matter how strong the defense of that treasure is, can it still withstand the erosion of the immortal corpse energy? Either turn into a corpse demon, or escape overseas!"
"Fellow Taoist Jin protects his body with a jade plate. He is the only person in Jiuzhou who can resist the corpse energy. There is nothing God can do about it."
"This method..."
The golden corpse murmured: "It is indeed good. I have had such thoughts when I got the jade plate."
Han Chao said: "The inexplicable appearance of this man must be God's secret interference. Even if he is killed by luck, the next one will appear, until the end of the world is over again!"
Jin Zhi was very moved when he heard this and suddenly asked.
"What is the purpose of fellow Taoist doing this?"
Han Chao sighed and said slowly.
"If the Dharma ends and the world is over, and the road to immortality is cut off for the poor, how can we be willing to do so?"
…
West of Yunzhou.
Boom!
The mountains collapsed and the ground cracked, and the spiritual veins were broken into several pieces.
Zhou Yi, who was dozens of miles away, looked at the mess of corpse monsters with a smile on his face.
"There are more than a hundred spiritual veins in Yunzhou. Pindao had already laid out formations when he was born, and they are finally put to use today. Where to destroy them next, we still need to make some calculations!"
Zhou Yi took out the stick and shook it gently a few times.
A spiritual lottery fell to the ground and broke into three pieces with a snap.
"Um?"
Zhou Yi looked horrified and muttered to himself.
"After a thousand years, the third bloody disaster!"
"Today in Jiuzhou, the only thing that can threaten Pindao is the golden corpse. I don't know what kind of secret technique that devil has found. Even the Xuanwu Divine Armor can't resist it!"
Silently recite the mantra to calm your mind.
Zhouyi spent ten years of his life and used the small Heaven-cutting Technique to predict bad luck within ten days.
The magic lottery landed smoothly!
After spending a hundred years of life again, he divined his fortune for a hundred years, and the lucky lotus broke into three parts after it fell to the ground.
"The bad omen will break out within a hundred days!"
After Zhou Yi calmed down for a while, he continued to repeatedly predict the divination, and finally got a certain time.
"There will be a bloody disaster in sixty-three days. There is still time to avoid it."
"The devil is in Youzhou, thousands of miles away from me. It must be some kind of supreme spell. To be safe, escape as far away as possible!"
When Zhou Yi thought of this, he swayed and spread wings behind his back, and used the Burning Blood Escape Technique to fly eastward.
A few days later.
Passing through Xianjing.
Zhou Yi Dunguang paused for a moment and glanced at the ground. The once prosperous city had turned into a zombie paradise.
"it's all over!"
Sighing helplessly, he waved his hand and took a picture of a piece of intact brick and stone from the ruins of the palace.
Then he drove the Escape Light straight into the East China Sea, relying on the Blood Spirit Fruit to replenish his blood. After more than sixty days of escape, the Yuan Ying ancestor had entered the deepest depths where his spiritual energy was cut off.
Zhou Yi hid in the Kunlun Cave, arranged hundreds of formations, affixed thousands of talismans and seals, and activated all the magic weapons to the extreme.
I waited for dozens of days.
"The bloody disaster has passed?"
Zhou Yi carefully examined the essence, energy, and soul, but there was no trace of any spell. After waiting for several months without seeing any movement, he drove the escape light back to Jiuzhou.
