Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 540 - 366: Green Emperor’s Prayer Wishes to Reappear, a Glimmer of Hope Lies in the Two Youngsters_2
No one knew exactly what kind of catastrophe had befallen, those mountains, rivers, and cities within the Grotto Heaven... most were blown to smithereens, and the world was left in ruins, turned into a void filled with all sorts of fragments, debris, and powdery dust.
Among those fragments, the most conspicuous were humans.
A large number of corpses from the Human Clan floated in the void, a rough count put them at over a million in number.
They were layered upon each other, densely packed.
"They are the civilians of Seven Evil City, our blood relatives, dead, all dead."
"How could this happen, how could this happen."
"Has Seven Evil Sect... just vanished?"
Disciples like Master Baihua Zhou Yingchun were on the verge of madness at this moment.
Many cultivators in the Ancestor Dragon Society who knew the relevant intelligence, made judgments after the first glance:
"Seven Evil Cave is a vast Cave Heaven Blessed Land. Not only was it the Cultivation ground for the cultivators of Seven Evil Sect, but it was also the dwelling place for their blood kin."
"There were not just one, but many cities built inside, with the population having already surpassed a million over generations."
"Babies born in the Evil Cave, nourished by the Source Qi of the Grotto Heaven, possess better talent for Cultivation than those from the outside world. True Disciples like Zhou Yingchun and Huang Buxi, most of them grew up from babies born within the Grotto Heaven; this is the true foundation of a Great Sect, and now it's all destroyed."
"But how was it destroyed?"
Everyone felt puzzled in their hearts, but the answer came quickly.
They saw that on the remaining small piece of land of the Seven Evil Cave, a large number of Daoist and Buddhist experts were gathered. Moreover, two figures were each seated in the Void, facing the filthy filth capable of destroying everything and the massive Source Qi produced by the self-destruction of the Grotto Heaven.
An old Daoist, holding a treasure fan, occasionally waved it to produce Yin and Yang Qi, pushing all the filthy alien objects in front of him back.
An old monk, holding a Treasure Bead, with the incantation of the old monk, Buddha Light burst out, freezing all the incoming Extraordinary Powers.
Inside the Ancestor Dragon Society, both Shazhei Monk and Linghu Ying spoke at the same time:
"It's Master!"
"Yin Yang Treasure Fan and Mou Ni Ding Kong Pearl, did Seven Evil Sect truly dare to self-destruct the Grotto Heaven?"
As the two exclaimed, the portal of corpses opened, experts from both Xuan Dao Sect and Beichan Temple turned their gaze towards Shangyang City.
An urgent transmission, unexpectedly sounded directly:
"Ancestor Dragon Society fellows, quickly, stop the old monster from taking the Elixir."
"Just now, all Elders of the Seven Evil Sect along with the Sect Master activated a Forbidden Technique to self-destruct part of the Grotto Heaven, keeping us isolated here, presumably to escape with this method."
"However, a Poison Pill inexplicably infiltrated, which was the child of Old Monster Jia, Jia Sanyuan."
"This person has lost his Three Souls and Seven Spirits, leaving only a body of dirty rotten flesh. After mingling with the Seven Evils, who knows what kind of Magic Skill he used to activate the remaining Forbidden Techniques, blasting his father and a bunch of Elders, as well as a million citizens of the Seven Evils to death... not stopping there, he even brought that [Ten Thousand Spirit Demon Machine] over."
"Right now, he's hiding among those million corpses, performing Alchemy, Seven Evil Sect Master and high Elders like Jiu Yan and Yellow Dame have all been refined into the Demon Machine."
"The Demon Pill will soon be ready. If we can't get over there to disrupt the process, you must not let the old monster succeed."
"Hiss"
This sudden change instantly caused the faces of the people in the Ancestor Dragon Society to undergo a drastic transformation.
And they finally recalled the conspiracy hidden behind the abrupt actions of Yang Longxi, the old monster when he descended upon the world, remembered the few words said by Jia Sanyuan before he self-destructed.
The plan of the Ten Thousand Spirit Demon Machine Alchemizing the Mortals of New Moon Province into an Elixir had failed, and this old monster had turned to target his own ally instead.
He let Jia Sanyuan take the [Ten Thousand Spirit Demon Machine] and retreat back into the Evil Cave, using that Poison Pill to exterminate all those in the Seven Evil Sect for Alchemy.
What a ruthless move!
As everyone was in shock, a final change indeed occurred in the area of the million corpses.
Just a "boom" was heard, a terrifying figure appeared, which Tao Qian had seen before, but now it was many times larger.
This object was both flesh and machinery.
Mounds of flesh larger than several mountains pieced together, fusing with cold mechanical appendages. Those strips of flesh, bulging yellow eyeballs, the corpse mountains and seas of blood, and mud and excrement that seemed to accompany them... even though they were still separated by a portal, it incited a sense of intense dread in anyone who made eye contact.
They watched helplessly as this monstrous machine moved about in the Void, ignoring the destructive Extraordinary Forces, opening its huge, gaping mouth and beginning to devour the remaining corpses of the common people.
One bite equaled ten thousand people.
And at the top of this beast, the indented gash was being blocked by a lump of foul-smelling rotten flesh that could stink up to a hundred miles.
It was not difficult to make out that it was Jia Sanyuan.
These scenes, with their soul-shaking Extraordinary Power that nearly drove people mad, were unbearable for anyone except Tao Qian and the others who were exempt.
The determination of the Ancestor Dragon Society's cultivators to fight had all but dissipated.
It was then, right in front of that door made of corpses, Qin Wuxiang and Han Xiao, the two Alchemist Saint Children, heard a command in their minds:
"Quickly enter the Grotto Heaven and obtain the Elixir for me, then use the Secret Technique to take the path of the [Ten Thousand Dragon Pond] and deliver the Demon Pill to my true body."
"Don't worry about being injured by the biting of the myriad dragons; this task, once completed, will reward both of you greatly. I assure you, you'll have your place in Ultimate Happiness."
In the Alchemist organization, the hierarchy was strict.
Yang Longxi, as one of the great ancestors, his command was something the two Saint Heirs dared not disobey.
Almost subconsciously, the two of them passed through the portal.
They moved so quickly that even if everyone in the area realized something was amiss, no one could stop them.
And they couldn't stop them!
The portal opened by the Seven Evil Secret Token was not something anyone could just enter.
The token originally belonged to Jia Sanyuan, but now that it has changed to Yang Longxi, it allowed Han Xiao and Qin Wuxiang alone to enter.
Even if Tao Qian, Zhong Ziyang, and the others rushed over to dismantle the portal, they still wouldn't be able to get through.
Thus, seeing this scene, everyone's expressions became ugly.
Those with weaker wills even began to feel despair in their eyes.
