Chapter 10 The Bright Moon Is in the Sky

If the years are still peaceful within Cangqiongtian, where the lanterns are lit up with fireworks and the sound of reading can still be heard, then outside the borders, the Seven Grand Passes and Tianhe City have been completely plunged into blood and fire.

Since Luo Hu refined the Heart of the Demon Saint, the rest of the Saints and Demons who had been standing still finally stopped watching from the sidelines.

Without any discussion, they sent out troops one after another with a tacit understanding and began to enter the field.

Perhaps they knew that the overall situation had been decided and were eager to take a stand to avoid being liquidated by Rahu after he became the Demon Saint. Or perhaps they couldn't wait to enter the scene to share the cake.

In short, after the victory at Guangling Pass, the demon clan's counterattack immediately followed, with a full-scale attack.

The second Dao Demon War has finally officially begun.

With all areas under attack, Guanglingguan was unable to expand its results.

Because monks from various domains have to return to each domain as quickly as possible.

The demon clan's counterattack this time was particularly fierce.

——This time, all the demons in the whole region are sending troops together, so they no longer have to worry about the rear, they can just concentrate on the frontal battlefield, and they can use everything they have.

The overwhelming demon army roared in like locusts passing through the border.

The demonic energy surged into the sky, as if the world was about to change.

The originally blue sky was already filled with thick demonic clouds.

Occasionally, sunlight shines on the earth through the magic cloud, but it is also a dark magic light, which makes people feel extremely depressed.

Facing the full-scale attack of the demons, the human race, which had been preparing for 20,000 years, also burst out with extremely amazing energy.

In just one month, the seven grand passes and the city walls of Tianhe City seemed to have turned into a huge meat grinder.

The human race has prepared many things for this destined war, including but not limited to powerful talismans, disposable magic weapons, large war weapons...

The demons are also prepared.

...........

Outside Yanlan Pass, the giant camp of the demon army stretches for thousands of miles, with thirty-six stone pillars rising into the sky in the center.

There are green magic vines entwining on the stone pillars.

Following this, green demonic energy rolled out from the stone pillars, shot up into the sky, and twisted and changed in the sky. In the end, it turned out to be a lifelike statue of the demonic god.

It looks like a human but not a human, looks like an animal but not an animal. It is tall and tall. There is only one single eye on the huge head. It holds a big stick in the sky, exuding a ferocious aura.

Magic light shines, interweaving into a strange and bizarre scene.

The symbol of the giant demon clan, the giant god.

The demon king of the giant spirit clan was standing in front of the statue of the giant spirit god, grinning ferociously, "The giant spirit demon god has come out, who can stop my clan?"

"Djinn God!"

"Djinn God!"

The demon army was like an explosion. How many demon cultivators looked up at the burly giant statue, their eyes filled with bloodshot eyes, full of madness and fanaticism, and shouted the name of the giant god to their heart's content.

It seems that this is not just a name, but a spell that can give them unlimited power.

Tens of thousands of people shouted together, which was like a landslide and a tsunami. At this time, millions and tens of millions of demon cultivators shouted, and the scene was like the sky collapsing and the earth shattering.

The monks at Yanlanguan were more tenacious than ordinary people, but at this moment, under such shocking shouts, their hearts could not help but tremble, and they felt great terror.

The next moment, under the chants of the demon cultivators, the giant spirit demon god rushed out of the area of ​​thirty-six stone pillars. With one eye wide open, he waved the big stick in the sky and hit the person protected by the spiritual light of the formation. Yanlanguan City Wall.

A huge shadow shrouded Yanlan Pass.

The Yanlan Pass monk's face changed drastically, and he felt a sense of oppression that Yanlan Pass was about to be broken in the next moment, and he quickly activated his magic power to resist.

Streams of brilliant spells soared into the sky and blasted towards the giant spirit god.

Boom boom boom!

However, the giant spirit god in front of him has infinite power, as if the demon god is coming in person.

All the spells burned in the magic light emitted by the Giant Spirit God, and turned into ashes. Then the Giant Spirit God continued to move forward, pressing towards Yanlan Pass.

】

The monks at Yanlanguan all looked up at the shadow, their hearts trembling. If this was not a racial war, this giant spirit statue could knock down the morale of one party in an instant.

But precisely because of the different nature of this war, in the face of this boundless terror, the human monks decided to die under the fatal threat.

All the monks on the city wall tried their best to display the most proud spells, the most powerful magic weapons, and the most powerful methods in their lives, without reservation.

I don't know when, there was a cannon-like magic weapon on the wall of Yanlanguan City. It was crystal blue and huge.

This is one of Yanlanguan's preparations for this war. It is a large-scale war weapon of quasi-Taoist quality inspired by ordinary artillery, Zhongtian Lingwu!

The power of Zhongtian Lingwu is terrifying, and its consumption is also extremely terrifying. Every time it fires, it consumes a large city's wealth for a year. It will only be used in the most critical times.

Clearly, this is a time like this.

"Fire!"

With a roar, in an instant, a thick beam of light spurted out and hit the giant spirit god's head heavily.

In an instant, dazzling auras and magic lights criss-crossed the sky, collapsing and disappearing from each other.

The dazzling light even engulfed the huge figure of the Giant Spirit God.

Coupled with the attack from the Yanlanguan monks, even though he was as powerful as a giant spirit god, his body could not help but tilt backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

It directly smashed a deep pit into the ground, stirring up dust all over the sky, and the huge sky stick also rolled aside.

However, Xia Zhao stood on the city wall and watched the giant spirit god fall to the ground, but a greater sense of crisis surged in his heart.

"This giant spirit god is the trump card of the giant spirit demon clan, and it is impossible to be defeated like this."

Her spiritual sense has always been very effective.

In the dust all over the sky, a huge palm as big as a mountain suddenly stretched out.

Before the Yanlanguan monks on the city wall could react, their vision was covered by darkness.

That palm smacked down at Yanlan Pass with the force of destroying the heaven and earth.

With a bang, it hit the ancestral formation at Yanlan Pass.

Where the giant palm touched the ancestral formation, spiritual light overflowed and continued to disperse.

The giant palm was pressing down with all its strength, so that the light shield formed by the ancestral formation was dented a bit at this moment, compressing sharply inward.

"Fire again, quickly!" Seeing this terrifying scene happen, Zhongtian Lingwu once again accumulated aura.

The spiritual light condensed into a dark blue light beam that was even more terrifying than before. It instantly penetrated the void and blasted toward the center of the smoke and dust.

Wherever the light beam passed, strong winds howled and torrents surged, rolling away all the diffuse smoke and dust, revealing the burly and huge giant spirit demon god's true form.

The giant demon god's face twisted and he let out a hard laugh.

He clenched his other free hand into a fist, raised it high, and after accumulating strength, he violently swung it forward, directly hitting the terrifying spiritual light pillar.

boom!

The next moment, the spiritual light pillar solidified in mid-air, and it was about to enter a fierce stalemate with the giant spirit demon god's fist.

The spilled aftermath impacted in all directions, and some surged backwards, like sharp blades, directly tearing hundreds of unlucky demon monks into blood mist.

Some swept forward, causing violent ripples on the light barrier formed by the Yanlanguan Ancestral Formation.

The horror caused by the outbreak of war is the same for both sides of the war.

...........

Yumen Pass.

Torrents of demonic energy penetrated the sky and directly hit the huge light shield of the Changfeng Formation.

Among the seven passes, Yumen Pass is both the strongest and the weakest.

The strongest one is that Shouguan is the first sword sect in the human race and has two swordsmen, Xia Daoyun and Lu Qingshan.

The weakest point is that at this time, the Sword Sect has been exhausted by several battles and has long been severely weakened. Of the two Sword Immortals, one is not at Yumen Pass at this time, and the other is seriously injured and has not recovered. They rely solely on their own strength to hold on.

Boom boom boom!

The offensive from the demon clan is becoming more and more fierce, and the light shield of the Changfeng Formation is becoming thinner and thinner. It is obvious that the next rest period is around the corner.

Finally, under the gaze of both humans and demons, the light shield formed by the Changfeng Formation suddenly dissipated, and Yumen Pass was nakedly exposed to the eager eyes of the demons.

"Kill!" Chi Zun's cold eyes locked directly on Xia Daoyun at the top of the city.

He is the only one left among the three soldiers of the Demon Clan, but he has not shown even the slightest sign of being alone and weak, and he is very confident.

A moment later, Chi Zun almost took action in response. As the demonic energy surged, his bloodline talent completely exploded, and the monstrous demonic sword shot out like a rain of arrows.

Rest, rest, rest!

High in the sky, countless demonic swords pierced through the void, pointing directly at Xia Daoyun with extremely ruthless force.

The space was torn apart inch by inch at this moment.

Buzz!

Just when everyone's expressions changed, a bright and vast sword light burst out from Xia Daoyun's body, heading straight towards the swordsmen like a rain of arrows.

Under the wash of sword light, all the magic swords fell down with a sound and were stuck diagonally on the vast ground in front of the Yumenguan city wall.

The remaining sword light covered the charging demon army, and the endless mana surged. These demon cultivators could not even utter a scream, but were completely wiped out, leaving no trace behind. The next trace, even the blood, was completely annihilated.

The power of the Sword Immortal is so terrifying.

But facing Xia Daoyun's explosive power, Chizun just narrowed his eyes and looked at it, as if he was in control.

It’s not that I’m trying to be mysterious, but I’m really confident.

His attack was not aimed at killing Xia Daoyun from beginning to end - if the Sword Immortal was so easy to deal with, Yumen Pass would have been destroyed long ago.

What Chi Zun did was just to force Xia Daoyun to take action.

If this army of demons who are not afraid of death and are constantly sacrificing themselves are wearing down the power of the Changfeng Formation and the Yumen Pass monks, then he is constantly wearing down Xia Daoyun's energy.

Even if you are angry for thousands of miles, your time will eventually run out.

.........

Once the Dao Demon War gets underway, there is no room for change.

Thick clouds shrouded the sky, lingering all day long, never seeing the light of day.

Tianhe City.

The night is getting darker.

It is a real night, not a night where the sun is covered by a magic cloud.

All directions were plunged into deep darkness, with no light visible for thousands of miles.

The brightly lit Tianhe City is like a lonely boat in the boundless sea of ​​Tianhe.

Emperor Juque Wu stood at the top of the city, looking across the sea.

The demon army surged in the night, like a continuous wave, which was terrifying.

Even the monks in Tianhe City, who are well-informed people, can't help but feel frightened by this kind of battle.

"Master Qi, will Luo Hu really succeed?" In the depressing atmosphere, Emperor Juque finally couldn't help but ask.

Beside him, in the darkness, stood an "old man" with all white hair.

"I can feel his aura getting stronger and stronger. He is almost successful." After a moment of silence, Qi Butian slowly said.

"But..." Juque Martial Emperor gritted his teeth, with an indescribable aggrievedness in his voice, "Why is he so successful? Is it because our human race's cultivation system is not as good as the demon race's?"

To become an ancestor of the human race, you have to go through the baptism of the Heavenly Gate, but there is no similar obstacle for the demon race to become a saint.

From this point of view, it is really unfair.

"The ancestral realm is the ancestral realm, and the holy realm is the holy realm. The two are equal, but it does not mean that the essence of the two is the same," Qi Butian said softly: "Don't be too pessimistic, don't we still have hope?"

Hearing this, Emperor Juque Wu seemed to have remembered the last hope, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.

Although that hope seemed very slim to him, it was still a ray of hope.

The boundless darkness is so oppressive that people have the urge to go crazy. At this time, light is especially needed, even if it is just a glimmer of light.

At the right time, a glimmer of light appeared.

Amid the thick demonic clouds that even sunlight could not penetrate, a waning moon poked out and shed moonlight on the world.

"The sun is missing..." Qi Butian looked up at the sky and said to himself, "But the moon is bright in the sky, isn't it?"

...........

Qingzhou.

Although Qingzhou stretches 30,000 miles across and its rivers and lakes are but a corner, there are still winds that rise from the bottom of Qingping and waves that form between gentle waves.

Deep in the mountains, there is a cave entrance covered with dense vines.

Lu Qingshan stood in front of the cave entrance.

Qin Yitian stood behind him, just like before.

Lu Qingshan looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

Many years ago, when he walked out of this corpse refining cave, he looked up and saw the bright moon in the sky.

Many years later, although he has traveled a long way and experienced many ups and downs, nothing seems to have changed here, and the bright moon is still in the sky.

The green mountains are together with the wind and rain, but the bright moon has never been the two villages.

Lu Qingshan pushed aside the vines and walked in.

The Corpse Refining Cave has long been abandoned and overgrown with weeds.

All the way forward, all the way in, until you come to a deep cave.

In the cave, there is a pool that is neither deep nor shallow, but it has dried up long ago.

When Lu Qingshan returned to his old place after a long time, it was not to reminisce about the past, but to pursue something more important.

"This is the place where I came from, the place where I was born." Lu Qingshan pointed to the dry pond and said. This is a secret that Qin Yitian has never understood, so she was also surprised. It was hard to imagine how her son could come from a pond. Born in the womb instead of the mother's womb?

He continued to ramble on: "In my hometown, there is a famous saying, only by never forgetting your original intention can you always succeed, so..."

"But, I still...don't know what to do." He finally said.

Even though he and Lu Qingshan are connected and have an unimaginable tacit understanding, at this moment Qin Yitian is not sure whether what he said is that he doesn't know how to end, or whether he doesn't know whether his current choice is correct or not.

He left Tianhe City to Qi Butian.

Put Guangling Pass aside.

Put the increasingly bloody and cruel battle of Dao Demon behind you.

He didn't even return to Yumen Pass, so Xia Daoyun used his energy to extend his life at Yumen Pass.

Li Qiubai once refused to enter Chang'an for ten thousand years, but now Lu Qingshan has a similar fate and a similar choice.

Similar choices bring similar pain.

But this does not mean that Lu Qingshan is irresponsible, just because he has a greater responsibility to bear.

That responsibility is so great that even the Nine Tribulations Sword Immortal cannot bear it on his shoulders.

Unless you go up another floor.

But how to take that last step?

This is really a question worth thinking about for a long time.

While thinking, the battle between Dao and Demon and the great catastrophe of the human race suddenly moved forward.

...........

In human culture, a person's name often has its origin or meaning, except for the minor player.

For example, the Shepherd God of Chu and the God of Heavenly Shepherd.

For example, Xie Qingyun, riding on the blue clouds...

Green mountains are really a wonderful image.

It is the most far-reaching, the most stable and the most reliable. It has been reviewed by countless literati since ancient times and has many meanings.

But no matter how much meaning it is given, its essence remains unchanged.

The storm is coming, but the green mountains are ahead.

That's what it is.
