Chapter 842 The Darkest Land, Demon Buddha's Soul, Alliances and Strategies, Worldwide Struggle

In the far west of the Northern Sea, there lies a forbidden zone forgotten by the world.

Here, there is no rotation of the sun and moon, no illumination of the stars, and even the laws of nature are distorted and broken.

As far as the eye could see, there was only boundless darkness. It was not the darkness of ordinary night, but a deathly darkness that could devour divine thoughts and freeze the soul.

The darkest place—the Netherworld Fallen Ridge.

Legend has it that in the age of mythology, a great Buddha once fell into demonic ways here. In a single thought, he slaughtered countless lives, turning this once pure Buddhist land into a living hell.

Blood stained every inch of the land, and resentment coalesced into a black mist that never dissipates.

"Woo!"

The wind howled fiercely, like the weeping of ancient vengeful spirits, its mournful sound piercing to the very marrow of one's bones.

In the pitch-black darkness, four figures emanating terrifying energy were slowly moving forward, their feet treading on the void.

The leader was none other than Su Chen, who wore a gray robe and had a handsome face but a world-weary look in his eyes.

A piece of ancient bone floated above his head, emitting a faint light that barely held up a patch of pure land.

It isolates the dark laws around it that are trying to erode the physical body.

Beside him stood the Yama Prince, whose body was brimming with demonic energy, and the Holy Nightmare Demon King, whose figure was elusive and seemed ready to merge into the nightmare at any moment.

And walking at the very back was the most eerie figure.

He was dressed in a tattered cassock, half of his face was as compassionate as a Buddha, and the other half was as ferocious as a demon. One vertical eye between his brows was tightly closed, but strands of black blood tears flowed down from it.

Abyss Demon Eyes.

"arrive."

The Abyss Demon Eye suddenly stopped, its hoarse voice echoing in the deathly silence, like two pieces of rusty divine iron rubbing against each other.

Everyone stopped and looked ahead.

At the edge of the horizon, the darkness was so thick it resembled an unyielding ink.

In the center of that ink, one could vaguely see a towering black cliff, thousands of feet high. On the cliff, no grass or trees grew, only countless white bones piled up into a tower.

Some of those skeletons were as clear as jade, while others were as black as ink; they were all left behind by powerful cultivators in their lifetimes.

And at the top of that bone tower, something was stuck in the ground.

Even from a distance, everyone could feel a suffocating, menacing aura emanating from them.

"That was... your weapon from back then?"

Prince Yama narrowed his eyes slightly, and the Yama blood within him stirred slightly, clearly sensing a great threat.

"good."

The Abyss Demon Eye slowly raised its head. The demon eye, which had been tightly closed, was now trembling violently, as if it were resonating with some distant being.

Its name is the Golden Wheel of Annihilation.

"It once fought alongside me in the Nine Heavens, drank the blood of Arhats, and beheaded Bodhisattvas. Later, I sat in meditation and sealed it here, nurturing it with the ancient resentment of this extremely dark place."

"Now...it's time for it to be born."

The voice of the Abyss Demon Eye carried an uncontrollable madness and desire.

"Ye Tian has become a God King, and his physical body has become a saint. Without this supreme treasure, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven for us to break through his defenses."

Su Chen spoke calmly from the side, his gaze deep.

"Let's make our move and see just how powerful this weapon, which has been dormant for countless eons, truly is."

"it is good!"

The Abyss Demon Eye no longer hesitated.

He took a step forward, and his figure instantly appeared on the cliff of white bones.

"With a single thought from the Demon Buddha, the souls of soldiers return!"

"Buzz!"

The vertical eye between his eyebrows suddenly opened.

A strange beam of light, as black as ink yet interspersed with golden light, shot towards the artifact at the top of the Bone Tower.

In an instant, the color of the world changed!

"Boom!"

The once deathly dark place suddenly erupted into chaos, like boiling water.

The earth trembled, countless cracks spread like a spider web, and black magma gushed from the ground, carrying a strong smell of sulfur and blood.

"clang!"

A crisp, melodious, yet chilling metallic vibrato resounded through the heavens.

At the top of the white bone tower, the object that had been covered in dust began to tremble violently.

The rust on the surface peeled off instantly, revealing its true appearance.

It was a wheel.

Or rather, it is a gigantic Dharma wheel forged from some unknown divine metal.

The edge of the Falun is as sharp as a knife, with nine serrations, each engraved with a ferocious ghost face.

At the center of the Dharma wheel is a flawless, round relic, radiating a gentle Buddhist light.

Ghost faces and relics, slaughter and compassion.

Two completely opposite forces have been perfectly integrated in this weapon, forming an extremely terrifying balance.

"Roar!"

As Falun Dafa revived, terrifying phenomena appeared in the void.

Around the Falun, countless illusory figures were seen floating and sinking.

There were monks in robes chanting sutras, yet blood was flowing from their seven orifices; there were fierce and malevolent demons roaring, yet their hands were clasped together in prayer.

Blood rained down from the sky, and a chilling wind howled, as if opening the gates to the deepest hell.

"Such a heavy aura of malevolence! This weapon... it has probably surpassed ordinary divine king weapons!"

The Nightmare Demon King gasped, his eyes filled with apprehension. He cultivated the Path of Nightmares, making him most sensitive to this kind of malevolent energy on a spiritual level.

He could sense that this weapon contained the resentment of countless dead souls, which, once released, would be enough to cause the God King's soul to collapse instantly.

"Extinction! Extinction!"

The demonic eyes in the abyss danced wildly, making him appear like a madman.

He stretched out a hand, half of which was filled with Buddhist light and half with demonic energy, and fiercely grasped the Golden Wheel of Annihilation.

"boom!"

The instant he grasped his weapon, a towering pillar of blood energy shot up from his body, piercing the sky above the darkest place.

His aura began to surge wildly.

Originally, he was only a half-step God King, but now, with the blessing of this deadly weapon...

His combat power was actually raised by a whole level, reaching a point where he could rival a true god-king!

"This is power..."

The Demon Eyes of the Abyss stroked the golden wheel, their eyes filled with fascination.

"Ye Tian... your Chaotic Body is strong, but I wonder if it can withstand my attack that will lead you into demonic possession?"

"very good."

Su Chen nodded in satisfaction as he watched this scene.

"With this weapon, we finally have a means to threaten Ye Tian in terms of attack power."

"But it's not enough."

Su Chen's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's heads.

"not enough?"

Prince Enma frowned.

"With the Abyss Demon Eye, this quasi-royal weapon, and the three of us, surely we can kill a newly-broken God King?"

"You underestimate the Chaos Body and the God-King Realm too much."

Su Chen shook his head, his gaze becoming unusually solemn.

"When Ye Tian was undergoing his tribulation, he swallowed the Thunder Pool in one gulp. You should know what that means."

"His physical body has truly reached its peak, and is impervious to all magic."

"A single weapon might be able to wound him, but to kill him, to completely extinguish his soul and life force..."

"Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!"

The repeated use of the word "difficult" silenced the several individuals present, who were both blessed with natural disasters and extraordinary talents.

Although they were unwilling to admit it, they knew in their hearts that Ye Tian had become a formidable force, an insurmountable mountain.

"Then what do you suggest we do?" The Abyss Demon Eye put away the golden wheel and looked coldly at Su Chen.

Su Chen smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with calculation.

"We have the weapons. Next, we need a peerless formation that can trap a true dragon and refine a god-king!"

"Array?"

The Nightmare King seemed to be deep in thought.

"Ordinary killing formations are ineffective against him. Before, at the Fallen Immortal Ridge, the Ten Directions Annihilation Formation was shattered by him with a single step."

"Ordinary ones won't do."

Su Chen turned around and looked toward another part of Beihai, where an ancient and weathered aura was rising and falling.

"What we are looking for is the legendary... remnant formation left over from the chaotic ancient times."

"South of the North Sea, there is a forbidden area called Burial Valley."

"Legend has it that this place was once an ancient battlefield, where a supreme being who was proficient in array formations once set up a fragmented array called the 'Twelve Capitals Heavenly Refining Divine Array'."

"That's an array used to refine innate gods and demons!"

"Even if it's just a remnant of the formation, as long as we can repair and control it, and combine it with the power of the six great calamities..."

A cold glint flashed in Su Chen's eyes.

"That would be enough to turn Ye Tian into a pool of blood!"

"The Burial Valley..."

Prince Yama muttered to himself. He had heard of that place before. It was an extremely dangerous place, ravaged by chaotic void storms year-round. Even a god-king would suffer greatly if he went in.

"It's worth the risk to kill Ye Tian."

The Demon Eye of the Abyss stroked the Golden Wheel of Annihilation in his hand, his killing intent resolute.

"Alright! Let's go to Burial Valley then!"

Having reached a consensus, without any hesitation, they immediately transformed into four streaks of light and left this extremely dark place, speeding towards the Burial Valley in the south.

a few days later.

The four of them arrived outside a desolate valley.

Not a blade of grass grows here; the earth has an eerie gray-white color, as if all life has been drained away.

At the entrance to the valley stands a broken stone tablet with three bloody characters engraved on it—"Valley of Burial Sky."

Just standing at the entrance of the valley, one can feel an extremely sharp and murderous aura, like countless small knives cutting into the skin.

"What a terrifying killing aura... Although it has been broken for countless years, it still makes people's hearts tremble."

Prince Yama raised his demonic energy shield, his expression solemn.

"Be careful, there are not only formations here, but also formation spirits protecting us."

Su Chen reminded him, the bone fragment in his hand emitting a soft light, guiding the way forward.

The four of them cautiously ventured deeper.

The further you go, the more void fissures appear around you, and terrifying gales occasionally blow through, instantly turning the hard rocks into powder.

Finally, after paying a considerable price and killing several ancient alien species guarding the formation, they arrived at the deepest part of the valley.

There, a tattered array diagram floated.

The array diagram was neither gold nor jade, and its material was unknown. It was engraved with the phantom images of twelve gods and demons, each of them ferocious and terrifying, exuding overwhelming ferocity.

Although a corner of the array is missing, it does not diminish the aura of... world-destroying power it exudes!

"that's it!"

A look of wild joy erupted in Su Chen's eyes.

"The formation diagram of the Twelve Capitals Heavenly Refining Divine Formation!"

"Although it's incomplete, it's more than enough to deal with Ye Tian, ​​who's at the God King realm!"

"Attack! Subdue the array spirit and take the array diagram!"

All four attacked at the same time.

The Abyss Demon Eye unleashed the Golden Wheel of Annihilation, slashing out a beam of demonic and Buddhist light.

Prince Yama transformed into a demon god and unleashed a powerful punch.

The Nightmare Demon King used Nightmare Technique to disrupt the consciousness of the array spirits.

Su Chen then unleashed a series of complex hand seals, attempting to refine the core of the array diagram.

"Roar!"

An angry roar came from within the array.

A Qilin, formed entirely from array patterns, charged out and engaged the four in battle.

This battle was so fierce that it shook the heavens and the earth.

If these individuals weren't all exceptionally talented individuals, possessing extraordinary treasures, they probably wouldn't have been able to remove this incomplete array diagram.

After the Abyss Demon Eye spared no effort to use its own power and unleash the most powerful attack with the Annihilation Golden Wheel, the array spirit Qilin let out a mournful cry and was blasted into a shower of light.

"receive!"

With lightning speed, Su Chen caught the falling array diagram.

It felt cold to the touch, yet as heavy as a mountain.

"Hahaha! It's done!"

Su Chen laughed loudly, his eyes filled with the smug satisfaction of his ambition being fulfilled.

"We have the weapons, and we have the formations."

"Ye Tian, ​​your death is not far off!"

After leaving Burial Valley, all four of them were somewhat exhausted, clearly having expended considerable energy in their efforts to seize the array diagram.

But they were unusually excited.

"Now, everything is ready, except for the east wind."

Prince Enma looked at Su Chen, "The east wind you mentioned, you mean..."

"people."

Su Chen put away the array diagram and turned his gaze to the distant depths of the North Sea, where powerful imperial clans and aristocratic families were entrenched.

"The four of us, along with the Bone Emperor of Annihilation and the Witch of Calamity, are enough to set up a great formation."

"But to ensure absolute success and completely cut off all of Ye Tian's escape routes, we need more... cannon fodder, as well as stronger individuals."

"Ye Tian is too arrogant. He not only killed our people, but also offended the local forces of the entire Beihai."

"Which of those imperial families, royal families, and those dormant ancient monsters wouldn't want to eat their flesh and sleep on their skin?"

"What we need to do is to integrate this force."

Su Chen's lips curled into a sinister smile.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

"Let's go and visit the heirs of those imperial families."

"For example... that little supreme being of the Golden Ancient Clan, I heard that his brother was trampled to death by Ye Tian, ​​and he is now going crazy trying to get revenge."

"And the Phoenix Maiden of Blood Phoenix Mountain, and the Divine Child of the Primordial Divine Mountain..."

"Tell them that we are absolutely confident in killing Ye Tian."

"As long as they are willing to take action and reveal their true strength, the destiny of this lifetime... can be shared by all!"

"What a plan!"

The Nightmare King cackled, "Using someone else's knife to kill another, using one tiger to devour another."

"Let those imperial prodigies exhaust Ye Tian's divine power, then we'll activate the grand formation at the crucial moment and decide the fate of the world in one fell swoop!"

"At that time, not only will Ye Tian die, but the fortunes of those imperial clan prodigies... may also be ours."

The four men exchanged glances, each seeing the greed and ruthlessness in the other's eyes.

This is a group of madmen, a group of demons who will stop at nothing to become stronger.

"Split up."

Su Chen gave the final instructions.

"I will contact the Bone Emperor of Annihilation and the Witch of Calamity to ensure that the Six Calamities are gathered together."

"Yam, go to the Golden Ancient Clan and Blood Phoenix Mountain."

"Holy Nightmare, go and contact those old monsters among the rogue cultivators."

"Demon Eye, go and persuade the ancient royal family."

"We will meet at the Tianyuan battlefield in half a month."

"That place... will be Ye Tian's burial ground!"

"Yes!"

Four streaks of light instantly sped off in four different directions.

Countless killing intents intertwined in the void, slowly enveloping the... War God Palace that floated above the nine heavens!
