Chapter 601 Devastated

"Zi Zi"

Liu Yu reached out and made a move, and the promoted Qingyang Demonic Fire returned to his palm and burned blazingly.

"good"

Following the extremely close connection, he instantly understood the current power of this fire, and nodded lightly with satisfaction.

Before promotion, Qingyang Demonic Fire had the power to damage ordinary magic weapons and could be used as a conventional method.

After being promoted to the second level, the amazing power of the second level spiritual fire can even make some powerful magic weapons retreat, which is already an important trump card.

Perhaps at a specific moment, it can turn the tide of the battle, or even kill it with one strike.

For example, by using the characteristics of "Manduo Blood Flame", it can greatly increase its lethality against huge monsters and easily cause effective damage.

As long as there is a wisp of flame wrapped around it and its flesh-burning characteristics are fully utilized, it can pose a threat that cannot be ignored to ordinary demon cultivators.

Looking carefully at the promoted demonic fire, Liu Yu thought, and the dark cyan flame instantly changed into light red.

At the same time, a faint scent of blood began to emit from the flames.

The pale red flames flickered and glowed, and the fire light was strangely bright.

"Unfortunately, the "Nine Transformations of Demonic Fire" can only swallow part of its origin and cannot fully inherit all the characteristics of the swallowed spiritual fire."

Looking at the pale red flame beating slowly in the palm of his hand, Liu Yu shook his head slightly, feeling a little regretful in his heart.

But after thinking about it, he quickly felt relieved.

If the characteristics could be completely inherited, then the "Nine Transformations of Demonic Fire" would be too outrageous.

Even if he could enter that "supreme" state, he would not be able to create such a heaven-defying secret method due to his limited knowledge.

"Even if it is only a small number of characteristics, it is enough to greatly increase the potential of Qingyang Demonic Fire."

"What's more important is that as the level of the magic fire increases, the effects of its corresponding characteristics will also increase."

"As long as the level continues to improve, it will be just around the corner to surpass the original spiritual fire."

"If I hadn't entered the "Supreme Supreme" state, had enough ability to deduce, and coupled with the flash of inspiration from the "Fighting Fire Emperor", it would have been impossible for me to deduce this secret technique."

The flame in the palm of his hand flickered and glowed, Liu Yu thought silently.

Immediately, his mind moved again and he controlled the Qingyang Demonic Fire to transform into another form.

The light of the fire flickered, and the original light red flame instantly turned into light cyan, exuding a fragrance like vegetation, full of vitality.

Even if only a small part of the origin of the Qinglian Spiritual Fire is consumed, the Qingyang Demonic Fire's "grass and tree affinity" characteristics have also grown to a certain extent because of its upgrade to the second level.

Compared with the original Green Lotus Spiritual Fire, this aspect is not much worse, which is very beneficial to alchemy.

After all, the former was only a first-grade spiritual fire, while the Qingyang Demonic Fire had already reached a second-grade.

"Yes, it seems that it is only a matter of time before it surpasses the Green Lotus Spiritual Fire."

"I estimate that I don't need to reach the third level to completely surpass him in terms of "plant and tree affinity"."

"In this way, my alchemy success rate can be improved a little."

Carefully sensing the changes after Qingyang Demonic Fire's promotion, Liu Yu couldn't help but smile.

Although the promotion has been completed, the form of the Qingyang Demonic Fire is not stable enough after it has just swallowed the origin of the "Manduo Blood Flame", and the flame is beating very actively.

He waited patiently until the Demonic Fire had completely digested the results of his promotion and had generally stabilized, and then he collected it into his dantian.

…

In the intensive preparations of Liu Yu and Zhuo Mengzhen, two days passed by in a flash.

Two days later, it was still snowing continuously, with falling snowflakes and biting cold wind.

"tread"

In the wind and snow, Liu Yu and Zhuo Mengzhen walked towards Jiren's study step by step.

The wall of consciousness always covers the whole body, and the invisibility technique covers the mana fluctuations and aura spiritual pressure, and the supervisors and monsters are not aware of it.

Shaking off the snowflakes, the two of them stepped across the threshold and stepped into the warm and bright study.

"Nothing unusual."

Liu Yu's expression remained as usual, and he casually glanced at the monk who was reading a book, thoughts flashing in his mind.

Although judging from the current situation, his interests and those of the Zhang family are generally consistent, and it is impossible for the other party to frame him for no reason.

However, you must be wary of others, and you cannot let your guard down just because of this.

After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, Liu Yu nodded slightly towards Zhuo Mengzhen. The two of them each took a book and found a table to sit down at, quietly reading in an inconspicuous corner.

There are many people at this time, so it is not the time to look for Zhang Tao.

Mixed in a group of ordinary monks, the two of them were inconspicuous, and there were no accidents along the way.

A few hours passed quickly, and just like the previous two times, the monks in the study left one after another.

In the end, only Liu Yu, Zhuo Mengzhen, and Zhang Tao were left.

"Click"

After closing the door and turning on the mechanism, Zhang Tao led the two of them to the darkroom again.

"Presumably this one is Fellow Taoist Cai Die, right?"

Everyone sat down, Zhang Tao touched his beard and turned to look at Zhuo Mengzhendao.

"Fellow Daoist Cai Die is one of our own. He went through a life and death crisis with Gu and narrowly escaped death before coming to Changnan City. He can definitely be trusted."

"she"

Liu Yu said calmly and briefly introduced Zhuo Mengzhen, using the pseudonym previously agreed upon.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang."

Zhuo Mengzhen cupped his hands and said softly, with a very polite attitude.

After being tempered in the Hengduan Mountains, she no longer dared to look down on any Jindan monks and began to admit her "ordinaryness".

And through Liu Yu, this woman knew that the other party was not only at the late stage of Jindan cultivation, but also an extremely rare formation master, so she didn't dare to underestimate him.

Besides, Zhang Tao is still an out-and-out local snake.

Although he is now in a state of decline, the resources he has at his disposal are still not comparable to those of ordinary Golden Elixir cultivators.

If the bottom line was changed and some monks were "flexible", they would probably have started to fawn over each other as "seniors".

"Since he is a fellow Taoist who came to Changnan City with his ancient fellow Taoist, I won't hide him."

"Calculating the time, the comrades carrying the "Filthy Spiritual Liquid" should be in place by now and are about to pass through Lingwu City."

"Two fellow Taoists, you need to set off immediately!"

After a few polite words, Zhang Tao looked serious and said in a deep voice.

Then, he hurriedly talked through the details of the mission again to ensure that the two of them didn't miss anything.

"Gu understands and will go all out. Please rest assured, Fellow Daoist Zhang."

Liu Yu stood up, raised his hands and said seriously.

Next to him, Zhuo Mengzhen didn't say anything, but he also raised his hand.

"Then I'll leave it to my two fellow Taoists."

As he said this, the dignified Jindan Late Stage Master and Formation Master actually bowed deeply towards the two of them.

"It seems that the Zhang family's determination to take back the six Annan continents is stronger than imagined."

"That's why I have such a friendly attitude towards two Jindan monks who have no foundation in the Central Region."

"Perhaps, after losing the six Annan continents for these years, the situation of the Zhang family in Daqian is not very good."

Sensing the other party's attitude, Liu Yu thought a lot in an instant, but her hand movements were not slow at all.

He fired a burst of magic power and gently lifted the opponent up, refusing to accept this gift.

He looked upright and said decisively:

"For the sake of the righteousness of the human race, it is our duty to do so!"

The two complimented each other again. Zhuo Mengzhen was at the side, but he just kept smiling and said nothing.

She sighed secretly in her heart, feeling that there was still a lot to learn, and at least the deliberate compliments that were too explicit were still a bit hard to express.

Before Jin Dan, she was a rising star in the sect and was highly regarded by the sect and elders. Why did she need to compliment others?

But after Jin Dan, everything was different.

Time was running out, and the mutual flattery between the two did not last long. Zhang Tao personally sent Liu Yu and Zhuo Mengzhen out of the study.

"Senior's few words of advice have benefited me immensely. I am truly grateful. I will definitely visit you to say thank you someday!"

"Farewell!"

Liu Yu held his hand again, took Zhuo Mengzhen, turned around and walked into the darkness, disappearing into the wind and snow.

At the door of the study, Zhang Tao clasped his hands behind his back, looking at the direction in which the two people left, and did not return for a long time.

"The wind is rustling and the water is cold. A strong man will never return once he is gone."

In this situation, he couldn't help but think of this sentence.

Zhang Tao has experienced this kind of scene many times, and his emotions are ups and downs when he touches the scene.

Most of the monks he witnessed going on missions never came back, and only a small number survived by chance.

So even if everything goes well with the current plan, I don't dare to relax at all.

Those polite compliments before were not all just for fun. The Zhang family wanted to retake the Annan Protectorate, and they really wanted to protect the peace of the people.

From the first generation of "Dingnan Hou" to being entrusted by the "Shengwu Emperor" of the Tang Dynasty, this mission has continued for hundreds of thousands of years.

In addition, after the loss of the six Annan continents, the family was marginalized in Daqian and gradually declined, and the Zhang family's determination became even stronger.

"The Tang Dynasty"

Zhang Tao sighed softly, sighing a lot at the same time.

I looked up at the moon, but I couldn't see Chang'an!

"As I get older, I just like to feel sad about spring and autumn."

After standing still for a long time, Zhang Tao had already attracted the attention of some monsters. Zhang Tao laughed at himself, turned around and entered the study room to meditate and adjust his breathing to secretly nourish the magic weapon.

Even though he is more than 600 years old, he still has to personally participate in the uprising that will happen soon.

On the one hand, our own strength is indeed stretched thin.

On the one hand, I still feel uneasy. Only by attending the on-site command can I truly feel at ease.

Whether it is witnessing success or witnessing failure.

…

It is worth mentioning that although the significance of Changnan City is extraordinary, after it was occupied by the demon clan, there was no formation to protect it.

And even if the city wall is only a dozen feet high and is guarded by demon cultivators and monks, how can it stop the Golden Core cultivators?

After bidding farewell to Zhang Tao, Liu Yu and Zhuo Mengzhen sneaked out quietly and headed north.

"Whizzing"

A subtle cracking sound sounded in the night sky.

Following the route given by Zhang Tao, Liu Yu and the two flew away in the barren mountains and ridges with thin spiritual energy. They rarely met demon cultivators along the way.

Even if a demonic cultivator occasionally appears, it will be noticed by the divine consciousness and avoided early. With the cooperation of the "Wall of Divine Consciousness" and the "Invisible Spirit Technique", there will be no danger along the way.

As for the areas where fourth-level demon cultivators may appear, they are not within the scope of the planned route at all and have been excluded early on.

Although the Annan Six Continents belong to the border, the density of demon cultivators is even higher than that in the Hengduan Mountains.

But precisely because of its special nature, demon cultivators have traces to follow, so there is basically no need to worry about them appearing suddenly.

In order to prevent the monks within the territory from "rising up", most of them gathered around the fairy cities, large and small.

More importantly, the Yaozu needed to be on guard against Daqian and had to gather heavy troops at the border.

The strength of the Central Region is extremely powerful. The combined strength of Daqian, Holy Land, and Aristocratic Family is enough to compete with the demon clan of the Four Regions, or at most be slightly at a disadvantage.

Even after taking over the Annan Six Continents, Daqian did not fight back due to internal problems and did not show any intention to take it back, but the Fire Phoenix Clan still felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.

It is precisely because of various reasons that the current situation in the six Annan continents has been caused.

"I hope this mission of escorting the "Virgin Spiritual Liquid" will go smoothly."

While flying, Liu Yu had many thoughts flashing through his mind.

In the territory of the demon clan, he did not want to fight with the demon cultivators unless he had no choice.

According to Zhang Tao, this "dirty spiritual liquid" is a spiritual liquid that can contaminate magical weapons and instruments.

In a short period of time, it can interfere with the spiritual power running inside the magic weapon, causing the spiritual power to be interrupted or confused, thereby reducing the power of the magic weapon and magic weapon.

As long as "Dirty Magical Liquid" is applied to the "Forbidden Spirit Chain" at a critical moment, the effect of sealing mana can be greatly reduced.

Allowing the Golden Core cultivator to temporarily mobilize his magic power makes it possible to break free and become a force that can be mobilized for one's own side!

"Whizzing"

The two of them fled continuously for a day and a night, and finally left the Yizhou area and arrived at Guazhou.

His spiritual consciousness spread out, and he paid attention to the situation within a hundred miles, but did not find any demonic cultivators.

"It seems that Zhang Tao didn't lie. This is indeed a safer route."

"Even if they were hit hard, the Zhang family is still a behemoth, with eyes spread all over the six Annan continents."

"Is there still a god-transforming monk in his clan?"

All kinds of speculations flashed through Liu Yu's mind.

The Zhang family once dominated the six continents, and the six continents spanned more than two Chu states. They were named "Marquis of Dingnan" by the "Shengwu Emperor" of the Tang Dynasty. They were undoubtedly a force at the level of gods.

However, after the heavy damage six thousand years ago, it is still unknown whether the Zhang family will give birth to a new god-forming monk.

Six thousand years is long enough. Even the ultimate lifespan of a cultivator is only 5,000 years.

However, the Zhang family will obviously not reveal this kind of thing easily, and random speculation is bound to be fruitless.

Shaking her head, Liu Yu stopped thinking about this.

While escaping, he noticed Zhuo Mengzhen's escaping speed and secretly frowned.

From Yizhou in the south to Lingzhou in the north, we have to pass through Guazhou, Shazhou and Ganzhou.

The straight-line distance is about 250,000 miles.

This woman is not particularly good at flight. After her realm dropped to the early stage of Jindan, her average flight speed was less than 2,500 miles per hour.

At this speed, it is basically impossible to get around Lingwu City within ten days.

What's more, in order to avoid the demon cultivator, the two of them could not fly in a straight line, which would require an extra distance.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu's storage ring lit up slightly and took out the magic weapon "Black Wind Wings" to activate.

"thump"

The black wings with a wingspan of two feet behind him flapped, and he sent out a spiritual voice, speaking bluntly:

"Fellow Daoist Zhuo, with your current speed, it may be difficult to reach Lingwu City within nine days."

"Not as good as."

Hearing this, Zhuo Mengzhen's body visibly stiffened, and something unnatural flashed across his smooth and white face.

But knowing that she was holding back, she bit her lip lightly and let go, nodding slightly in agreement.

Seeing this, Liu Yu was not polite.

In a flash, he appeared in front of Zhuo Mengzhen, holding him by his side with his left hand.

The next moment,

Then there was a fragrance that was as familiar as lavender and quietly penetrated into the nose.

However, Liu Yu is not a lustful person.

When the sequelae of the exercise did not occur, even if the warm and fragrant nephrite was in my arms, there would only be a slight ripple in the lake of my heart.

Soon, the lake returned to calm.

Gently holding Zhuo Mengzhen with his left hand, Liu Yu's Dantian magic power circulated, and at the same time activated the magic weapon "Black Wind Wings", his speed immediately increased a lot.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the sky.

With his current state of mana, coupled with the blessing of Black Wind Wings, the average escape speed should be around 3780 miles per hour.

If four thousand miles per hour is regarded as the limit of a Jindan monk, then Liu Yu is already very close to this limit.

Even if you don't fly at full speed, it is very easy to cover a distance of 250,000 or even 300,000 miles in ten days.

After all, on the route given by Zhang Tao, the frequency of encountering demon cultivators is not high, so there is no need to be as arrogant as in the Hengduan Mountains.

Always be careful of the sudden appearance of a demon cultivator. While Liu Yu was flying at high speed, he did not forget to pay attention to the situation in the Annan Six Continents at this time.

Looking down from a high altitude, it is a vast white scene, with everything covered by heavy snow.

The sky and the earth are all white.

Only some of the spiritual mountains still have a little bit of greenery left.

Under the heavy snow, most of the farmland was abandoned, and even the infrastructure was damaged. Instead, vegetation grew vigorously.

Even in the ice and snow, there are many monsters on the ground, looking for prey to fill their bellies.

"Uh-huh~!"

A scream sounded, and Liu Yu looked down, just in time to see a group of demon wolves breaking into a house and about to start a bloody massacre.

But he just flew by without any intention of stopping.

"With so much land being abandoned, with the productivity of mortals, there will definitely be food scarcity."

"Compared with when the Annan Protectorate was still there, the number of mortals in the Six Continents has dropped by at least 70% to 80%, or even 90%!"

"The number of mortals is so small and they are living in a hazy way. The foundation of the Six Continents Cultivation World has been completely destroyed."

"Even if we recapture it, the world will not be able to recover for at least a thousand years!"

"When living in troubled times, the lives of the weak are really no different than ants."

Looking around, Liu Yu felt filled with devastation.

Perhaps it was because things harmed their own kind that he felt a little heavy.

Along the way, I have seen too many tragic scenes.

The number of mortals was even rarer than expected, and most of them were as ignorant as livestock.
