Starting from the Dragon Tribe

That dark area is on the edge of Sanqian State, in no man's land.

Fortunately, there are not many creatures here, otherwise, the losses would be heavy.

But it eroded very quickly, like black waves crashing on the shore, sweeping towards Sanqianzhou. When Lu Chen and Shi Hao returned to Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the black mist was already approaching the edge of Sanqianzhou.

"Dead, all dead..."

A creature screamed. His hair was disheveled. Although he escaped, his forehead turned blue and his face turned gray soon. He quickly fell from mid-air to the ground and died just like that.

This makes people outside feel scared when they see it. You must know that this person ran out of the vast no man's land. What does this mean?

He comes from the restricted area, and there is probably a powerful immortal in the restricted area. Even such a person is not immune?

Some strong men from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths went to check and found that his spirit had collapsed, as if he had been chopped clean and disappeared, while his physical body was intact without any wounds.

While they were checking, a wisp of black energy rose from the dead man's body, making the atmosphere nearby feel strange for a moment, and then darkness spread.

Everyone was frightened and quickly retreated, but it was too late, the black energy was too fast.

Screams came one after another, and nearby creatures died one after another.

This kind of demonic change was too terrifying, spreading like a plague and becoming an unprecedented catastrophe. People only experienced a war with a foreign land ten years ago and finally ushered in peace, but they did not expect that there would be a catastrophe so soon.

"At the beginning of darkness, a new era has arrived."

Some people sighed, their voices aged, with a sense of powerlessness, and very painful. Ancient books had vaguely mentioned some things related to darkness. Many people thought they were legends, but now they have come true. This era will be clarified and will come to an end. .

Fortunately, Lu Chen and Shi Hao came back not too late. The darkness had just begun to spread, and its source was the vast no-man's land, which was sparsely populated. There were only some restricted areas and no large crowds gathered.

It can be said that the weaker monks fell directly after encountering the black mist. Even the supreme figures did not dare to be contaminated and were sophistical.

It's hard to imagine how strong and strange power there is at the source of the black mist. I'm afraid even the immortals will suffer unknown consequences.

Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have also responded, because this is not the first day that darkness has spread. As early as two days before Lu Chen and Shi Hao returned, clues had already appeared in the no-man's land.

Originally, in order to prepare for the regrouping of the foreign army and prepare to fight against the darkness, the Grand Elder of Tianshen Academy went out to discuss countermeasures with the two true immortals, Old Man Aoki, and also invited the Fire King from the original imperial city from the lower realm.

When the Great Elder went through the Immortal Tribulation, he had faced the Jie Yin Ancient Palace, and he had some understanding of these sources of darkness, and knew the danger in his heart.

The first order issued was not to study contact and interception, but to ask residents close to the no-man's land to evacuate and clear the area to prevent anyone from being infected.

This is undoubtedly the right decision. Otherwise, after being eroded by darkness, the creatures will become a source of darkness transmission, spreading like a zombie virus in nine heavens and ten places.

As for the life and death of the creatures in the restricted area, they naturally did not care. Those people were already strong and it was not their turn to worry about it.

In fact, some restricted areas have also fought against, and true immortal-level figures have appeared, wanting to protect their restricted areas and stop the darkness.

But the place where the source originated is too dense, and the power of darkness is so strong that it cannot be dissipated, and even a true immortal will suffer disaster.

Two owners of the restricted area have encountered sophistry and become unknown creatures. With their potential during their lifetime, if they start the road of evolution in the darkness, they may become immortal kings in the future!

But when that time comes, they will naturally no longer be who they were, but become someone else.

The tide of darkness surged, and people in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths could see that the sky on one side was dyed black, as if the night had arrived early and the darkness spread to the earth.

Where darkness reigns, there is silence.

"Mom...I'm afraid."

A little girl huddled in her mother's arms, looking at the dark night that had fallen too early today, her voice trembling.

This place is still far from darkness, but people are frightened when they see this darkness.

Since ancient times, people have been in awe of the changes in the sky. Primitive tribes would be frightened when they saw the incomplete moon, not to mention that half of the day was dark?

The dark aura was ominous and strange, and there seemed to be some creature deep in the black fog, roaring, and the sound spread throughout the nine heavens and ten places.

The black mist is spreading extremely fast, and is about to touch the three thousand states. If it cannot be stopped, it may soon spread to Jiutian, and even the lower realm may not be spared by then!

Shi Hao looked at this scene with a solemn mood and was about to rush forward to take action.

A hand was placed on his shoulder, keeping him still.

"Don't be impulsive. If you rush in, you will end up like those people just now. Your cultivation level is still too low."

Lu Chen stopped him and said that although Shi Hao was already at the pinnacle of the Supreme Being, he would still be corroded if he faced the dark matter.

With Shi Hao's talent, if it is contaminated bit by bit, he can resist it, and he may be able to achieve a kind of resistance, and he will no longer be afraid of dark matter in the future, but he must not "use the medicine too hard"

"God of War, can you handle this darkness?"

Shi Hao clenched his fists. He clearly saw that the three thousand states were approaching the darkness, and many civilians had not evacuated. If the darkness spread, no one would be spared.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. If he was just a Zhanwo Dunyi cultivator at this time, he might really feel that these things were powerless.

But he is now at the peak of supreme power. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the strongest person in this world at this time. Should he just watch helplessly?

"If it's just this, it's not a problem, but it's just the beginning."

Lu Chen nodded, "You stay here and don't move around. I'll go take care of it."

Dark matter is also divided into levels. If it is spreading in the restricted area, the darkness is unknown. To be honest, it is not as good as those spewing out from the ancient artifacts. It is just large in quantity and average in quality.

The existence of the Immortal King level can completely suppress the darkness here, but it is only temporary. With the breathing of the Corpse Immortal Emperor, a huge wave of darkness sweeps over, and that is the real end of darkness.

The strong men gathered in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, led by Meng Tianzheng, stood outside the no-man's land, trying to stop the spread of darkness.

"Fellow Taoist, retreat, take those creatures back. Only when these dark substances are diluted can we have hope of fighting. Even the true immortals can't stop them now."

Old Man Aoki sighed. He had tried it before, and the magic he exerted was like a mud cow entering the sea and being swallowed by the darkness. If he was in the darkness, the end could be imagined.

No wonder there weren't a few masters coming out of the no-man's land, because they were all eroded by the darkness.

"Alas, after escaping the foreign invasion, we can't escape the dark purge..."

Meng Tianzheng sighed and was about to order everyone to retreat. These are the outstanding men who fought hard at Diguan back then and cannot die here.

Just when everyone was in a low mood, suddenly an old Supreme from the Imperial Pass exclaimed, "Look, the darkness is retreating!"

Everyone looked up and saw a dark red mist filling the air. It seemed that it actually suppressed the dark and unknown matter, causing the dark and unknown matter to retreat.

It was so late and then so fast, from the time the old Supreme shouted the words to the change happening and the dark red mist covering the sky, it was only a blink of an eye.

Many people in the nine heavens and ten places saw this scene, but what made some people uneasy was that they felt that the aura of the dark red mist was even more terrifying.

It's not that it's ominous, it just gives people a sinister feeling, like the breath of a pure killer, a killing demon from the abyss.

"It's Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu is back!"

The soldiers who were originally at Diguan said excitedly, recognizing this aura. Although it penetrated people, it gave people a sense of security.

Someone looked up and saw the man standing at the top of the red mist, wearing black clothes and a black sword, with a nine-foot-long golden dragon at his feet, standing tall and tall.

Lu Chen's bloody aura suppressed the dark mist, which shocked many people. At the same time, some people murmured, "Who is the dark and unknown..."

When Shi Hao and Shi Yi from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths camp saw this scene, they were even more fascinated, hoping that they could be so powerful in the future.

The little golden dragon under Lu Chen's feet crossed the sky, and the black mist was driven back into the no-man's land. After the black mist was suppressed, Lu Chen slashed out with a knife, and cut an abyss at the border of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. The sword intention stood there like a sky curtain, and if the black mist touched it, it would be blocked and thrown away.

Understated and effortless.

Seeing this scene, everyone felt relieved. Sure enough, with the Supreme Immortal King sitting in charge, even if the final disaster comes, it will not be a terrible thing.

Not only the soldiers of the Imperial Pass near the no-man's land saw Lu Chen, but the residents of this area, including some people in the mountains, also saw the man clearly.

Indeed, when Lu Chen drew his sword, his aura dominated the world and reflected the sky. His majestic figure was deeply engraved in people's minds.

After this day, many tribes changed their beliefs, because when the end came, there would be no totem/sacrificial spirit/god they believed in to manifest and save the world, but the legendary Emperor Wu.

I don’t know which tribe it came from. There is an ancient legend. In certain eras of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, all living beings believed in Emperor Wu. However, after the great catastrophe, everyone was buried, and the legend disappeared.

In a small tribe, an old man erected a sculpture again and kowtowed to him.

"Lao Zhang, are all the stories you told before true?"

Some young people asked the old people curiously, wanting to know some ancient stories.

"Why not?"

The old man smiled and said, "I even met Emperor Wu's disciples when I was a child."

He said proudly, as if it was a supreme honor. When he was a child, he always told others about this incident, saying that he had seen the immortal, and told himself the story of Emperor Wu. Others thought he was hysterical.

"Real or false, you can tell me later."

This is a small, mixed tribe with more than one surname. According to legend, their tribe actually goes back a long way, and has not even cut off its roots after several epochs, but it is now in decline.

There are many ancient artifacts left in the village, but they have lost their spirituality and look no different from ordinary objects. There are not many people who know how to practice, so naturally they cannot tell whether they are real treasures or junk.

After hearing this, Lao Zhang glanced at the light that reappeared after the darkness receded from the sky, "Then this story is quite long..."

He sighed with emotion: "That female fairy is said to be our ancestor. She reminds us to remember Emperor Wu's deeds and we should sing them..."

The old man slowly told the story of his childhood dream of immortality, and everyone listened with interest.

After Lu Chen cut off the source of darkness, he asked Shi Hao to meet everyone. Seeing Shi Hao's return, Shi Yi and others were naturally overjoyed. Cao Yusheng, Little Rabbit and others also laughed and dragged Shi Hao to drink and eat meat.

Meng Tianzheng originally wanted to ask Shi Hao about something related to Lu Chen, but seeing that the young man was so happy to meet again for a rare time, he gave up.

Since Lu Chen dared to go into the darkness alone, he must be confident. He believed that such people would not act so recklessly.

Lu Chen walked in the black mist. Some of the dark mist was blown away by the soul and evil spirit, while some of it soaked into his skin and slowly blended in.

This time he did not use Hongmeng Qingshi. He could still withstand a small amount of dark matter. After all, he was already a giant of the Immortal King. Moreover, he had a special physique, a strong and domineering body, and an immortal martial soul.

In the past, when Lu Chen first came to this world, he was very cautious and basically never contaminated with dark substances. During the war in a foreign land, in order to be safe and faced with the contamination of ancient artifacts, he also used Hongmeng fossils to remove those dark substances. Blocked it for fear of affecting the combat status.

But this time he was in Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, the war had stopped, and he was safe for the time being. He hoped to learn more about the properties of this material, which might help him in future wars.
