Journey to the West: Heavenly Creation

Chapter 28
The underwater market is not as noisy and bustling as imagined, it seems to be a quiet dead zone.

After traveling for more than ten miles, except for the occasional seahorse soldiers patrolling, there is only a cloudy area, giving people the illusion that they have come to the doomsday world.

A large... gray wall appeared in front of him?
Layman Jingxuan stared at it for a while, and confirmed that it was a huge city wall. The brown wall was covered with moss.

"That's the Yanfu tree. I don't know how many thousands of years it has grown, but it has withered long ago. Now it is the side wall between the ruins and the heavens!"

Tianpeng opened his mouth to explain, "The underwater market is located in the trunk of this Yanfu tree!"

How big is that tree?

Layman Jingxuan looked at the "gray wall" that could not be seen, and felt like a long coastline, extending to the end of his sight.

In the dim water waves, there was a soft sound, and a string of water bubbles rose from the eyes of Layman Jingxuan.

"Could it be that Xu Yuan is on this wall...behind this tree, or inside this tree?"

Canopy nodded, "It's possible. But it doesn't matter. Now, this is the battlefield for both sides!"

He stretched out his hand and showed a gold token.

The light beam projected by the token formed a huge rune, which slowly rotated on the tree wall, opening up a space.

Like the entrance of the Forbidden City at midnight, there is a gloomy and decaying atmosphere.

In a very short moment, a hallucinatory picture appeared in front of the eyes of Layman Jingxuan——

Someone glanced at himself in the depths of the darkness.

The pupils are as bright as the stars at night, but the face is hidden in the darkness, and there is no trace of outline at all.

"Someone is watching!"

Niao Niao issued a warning, which also proved that Layman Jingxuan's perception was correct, "It's a terrifying creature, you can't survive a single move under his hands, so go back and see the old sage!"

Canopy didn't seem to sense this gaze, and looked back at Layman Jingxuan in surprise,

"Sizheng, please!"

Layman Jingxuan didn't come forward immediately, he can do business with losing his head, but the situation of death is another matter. He thought for a while and asked,
"Marshal Tianpeng, with your Da Luo Tianxian's cultivation base, is there any opponent in this abyss?"

He has investigated the origin of the canopy before, and it is undoubtedly the Da Luo Jinxian, also known as the Da Luo Tianxian, but relying on a Nine-Turn Great Pill, coupled with the luck and merits of the previous life, from a mortal to the sky in one step, he achieved the position of Da Luo , And then was awarded the post of marshal of the canopy.

So the real strength is far inferior to Monkey King.

But that was also Da Luo, Layman Jingxuan didn't know, if the canopy faced the black shadow, there would be some chances of winning.

"The laws of the heavens have absolute suppression on the creatures of the abyss. Before the outbreak of the demon tide, no matter how strong the creatures in the abyss are, they can only watch from afar and cannot cross the line!"

"But didn't you say that you came to visit the underwater market?"

Layman Jingxuan suddenly felt that the canopy was a bit holey, and he might not be able to believe what this guy said.

"This is the underwater market!"

Canopy pointed to the bottom of the "tree hole", then stepped forward and walked in directly, "Come or not, it's up to you!"

But it's all here, how could Layman Jingxuan not come?
He followed the canopy into the space of the tree hole, and suddenly felt the world spinning.

Like riding a roller coaster, being thrown into the air, followed by a 1080-degree volley rotation, that feeling, really, if it weren't for the canopy, he would definitely yell!

"This is a normal reaction to space transformation, you can scream if you want, it's not shameful!"

Curly cynicism.

"I want to throw up!"

Layman Jingxuan distracted his attention by bickering with Niaoyou, and immediately felt a light appear in front of his eyes.

It feels like coming to the ancient arena.

On a circular platform, dust and smoke were everywhere, and there were many soldiers on both sides beating drums and cheering.

In the middle of the platform, Layman Jingxuan happened to see a monster with a rhinoceros horn and a huge plate armor growing on its body. With a huge ax in its hand, it chopped off the head of a general.

The human head rotated 360 degrees in the air, and then perfectly returned to its original position, "sitting" on the neck of the general.

Only in the middle of the neck, a line of blood flowed down.

"boom!"

In the other camp, countless monsters let out earth-shattering roars, and beat the ground with their weapons, causing an earthquake-like rumble.

The rhinoceros horn monster stepped back immediately, and picked up a pile of spirit stones on the platform. At the same time, it picked up a big furry tail, put it near its mouth, kissed it, and wrapped it around its neck again.

"This round, Xu Yuan wins!"

On the wooden frames on both sides of the round platform, a human celestial general and a tree-faced monster with vines growing out of its body made voices at the same time and waved small flags in their hands, directing their respective people to clean up the corpses and leave the field.

It feels like a referee in modern society, appearing calm and professional.

"Isn't this the market?"

With a smile on his face, Canopy said lightly, "The winner gets everything, and the loser gets nothing. This kind of battle is fair, and the collateral provided by both parties is also of equal value!"

Oh.
Layman Jingxuan instantly understood that this was also a means of spying on each other. Before a large-scale war broke out, this method was used to obtain the necessary supplies and release the hostility between the two sides.

"I come!"

In the Heavenly Court, a masked young general in white robes entered the battle, which immediately aroused cheers from the generals around him.

Layman Jingxuan froze for a moment, this is a battlefield, why are there still people masking their faces?
"Because he is too handsome, he is always said to be a woman, so every time he plays, he has to cover his face. This person has never been defeated since he played!"

Tianpeng explained to Layman Jingxuan with a calm look.

Only then did Layman Jingxuan discover that the canopy is the most natural and confident appearance only on the battlefield, as if a singer is on stage, a craftsman is in a workshop, and soldiers are the vocation of the canopy.

But why does the deed of the masked man on the battlefield sound so familiar?

His mind turned, and the situation on the battlefield changed instantly, and cheers sounded from the heavenly court.

The masked young general rode his horse around the arena, holding the enemy's head on his halberd, which was a huge wolf's head.

"Come forward!"

Canopy waved at the young general, the young general bowed slightly, rode his horse quickly, and presented the wolf's head.

"Show Si Zheng the spoils of war!"

Canopy didn't pick up the wolf's head, but just patted the young general on the shoulder to show his approval.

"Wei Qing has seen the adults!"

The masked young general announced a powerful name, which made Layman Jingxuan tremble when picking up the spoils.

It turned out to be you... Then do you know Huo Qubing?

This idea flashed in his mind, and he solemnly accepted the spoils from Wei Qing.

It was a piece of crystal mail, made of unknown material, in short, it was neither gold nor jade, it was cold to touch, and there was a dark aura lingering on it.

Lingyou immediately opened her mouth, swished, and inhaled that dark and cold breath into her abdomen.

"Ah... a big tonic, master!"

Niao Niao's personality is very similar to a cat's, she only pleases her master when she is eating.

"You ate everything, how can I study it?"

With a bit of helplessness, Layman Jingxuan carefully looked at the mail armor in his hand, except for the special material, he could no longer feel the slightest aura.

But at this moment, the feeling of being spied on appeared again.

"Have you received the gift from the master? If you want to solve the mystery, I will see you on the stone, and I will keep you worthwhile!"

The gleaming eyes in the darkness seemed to come in front of Layman Jingxuan, covering his whole body in a bone-chilling ice cold.

"marshal!"

Layman Jingxuan is in a hurry, this layman has been approached by someone, but you didn't notice the canopy?
Tianpeng looked at Layman Jingxuan, wondering why the latter had such an expression, he asked tentatively,

"This is the unique armor of the Xuyuan demon clan. With this protection, they can block the attacks of high-level immortal cultivators, and they can't be invaded by the rules of heaven. Si Zheng, can you see any clues?"

"This thing is strange, and I can't see anything for a while, can I take it back to Heaven and study it slowly?"

Layman Jingxuan decided to take a break, he wanted to leave the place of right and wrong first.

"No! If you leave here, the aura of the Abyss Demon Race will dissipate, and when you return to the Heavenly Court, this thing will become like scrap metal in the world!"

Tianpeng hurriedly stopped him. To put it bluntly, this was the real purpose of bringing Layman Jingxuan here.

"Don't worry, Layman, that person just now didn't have any malicious intentions, otherwise, if you attack in the shadows, no one can block his blow from here!"

A curling voice came faintly, but it failed to reassure Lay Jingxuan, on the contrary, he became even more nervous.

"Tianpeng, the big Luo Tianxian, can't do it?"

"The canopy doesn't work either. In the shadow field, he is the only emperor, unless he is illuminated by the bright mirror of Haotian, so that the space here will not be disturbed by dust, and the light will be unobstructed!"

"But he still has a master, so what level of boss is his master?"

Layman Jingxuan looked at the dim shadow swaying gently under his feet, and finally understood why Yuanshi bestowed the eight-life cloud disk.

From the moment he entered the range of the ancient Yanfu tree, life and death were no longer in his hands.

And the Shadow Emperor lurking in the darkness, who clearly has the ability to kill everyone, but refuses to take action, what is he waiting for?
