Chapter 666: Xuanzang Enters Honghuang, Anlan Gets Eaten
Chat Group.
Ancestral Mo Nv Houtu: "Xuanzang, Qing'er, the Dao-Demon Struggle is about to begin; you may prepare to head to Honghuang."
Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Damn, Ancestral Mo Nv Houtu has appeared, the Dao-Demon Struggle has begun."
Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "This is a major event."
Demon Queen: "By the way, can we go over and watch together?"
Immortal King Anlan: "Ahem."
Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Can we try?"
Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Try it and you'll die! That Honghuang is accessible, especially during the period of the World Opening; everything at this time is a great terror."
Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "Wealth is sought in danger. If nothing else, just by staying in Honghuang for three years, you, Diliu Ye, would become an immortal directly."
Immortal King Anlan: "Ahem, you all say, what if I go, will I break through directly to Immortal Emperor?"
Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "It's possible, but it's also possible you'll be eaten by some fierce beast."
Immortal King Anlan: "..."
Journey to the West Scripture Seeker: "Fine, no problem. I will prepare and then head over."
Ancestral Mo Nv Houtu: "Good, actually other group members can come too. As an Ancestral Mo Nv, I will not let you suffer any harm."
Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Really, Ancestral Mo Nv Houtu?"
Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "I, Ye, am going. Xuan Ge, please protect me."
Journey to the West Scripture Seeker: "..."
Zui Ai He Shounai: "Hahaha, I want to go too."
Immortal King Anlan: "Diliu Shi is going, as a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, what reason do I have not to go?"
Playboy: "Envious to the point of scalp numbness."
Ying Zheng of Great Qin: "Could Honghuang be the Immortal World?"
Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Brother Zheng, you don't know this. In a sense, Honghuang is the Immortal World. Opportunities are everywhere; the grass on the side of the road might be spirit grass. A mortal there doesn't even need to cultivate; they could live forever just by relying on the Heavenly Spirit Qi."
Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "Correct, and the powerhouses there are extremely numerous. Golden Immortals are like dogs, and Great Luo Golden Immortals walk everywhere."
Sword Deity of Spring and Autumn: "What a terrifying plane!"
Demon Lord Chonglou: "I am going. Now the Six Realms have reached their limit; if I want to become stronger, I can only go to a stronger world."
Invincible Yuwentuo: "Brother Chonglou is about to rise."
Demon Lord Chonglou: "Hmph!"
Journey to the West Plane, Lotus Cave.
Xuanzang is still here and has not yet set foot on the road to the West.
Nowadays, many immortals, demons, and monsters have come to the Three Realms Chat Group he created.
Almost every day, one can see the Jade Emperor, Taishang Laojun, Nezha, Yang Jian, the Queen Mother, Guanyin, and the God of Wealth sending messages.
Leaving a clone here, Xuanzang used the Time-Space Crystal to go to Houtu's Honghuang plane.
Honghuang plane, Buzhou Mountain, Pangu Temple area.
The current time period is shortly after the end of the struggle for hegemony among the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Tribes. The three tribes basically shattered ninety-nine percent of their high-end combat power, and their status as overlords of heaven and earth is no more.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Demon Dao has risen, and many Innate Sacreds have begun to appear.
The Heavenly Dao Six Sages of later generations have not yet appeared, and they are just small, transparent figures at this time.
Whoosh!
The moment Xuanzang appeared, dense Heavenly Spirit Qi surged wildly into his body, although the Heavenly Spirit Qi was already of no use to him.
Xuanzang carefully sensed the Honghuang heaven and earth; compared to the Journey to the West World, both the Laws of heaven and earth and the spirit Qi were more majestic.
Especially since this heaven and earth was mixed with a lot of Chaos Qi, which was the aura that had not yet dissipated after the World Opening.
Xuanzang released his Divine Sense, only to find that this heaven and earth was boundless and endless; during the sensing process, he also felt many auras no weaker than his own.
"As expected of Honghuang, it truly is extraordinary. However, because of the struggle for hegemony among the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Tribes, too much slaughter, karma, and baleful aura were left behind, which is why the Calamity was triggered. The Calamity purifies everything and reclaims the power plundered by all living beings," Xuanzang pondered.
The current Honghuang is disordered, without any rules.
The Dao-Demon Struggle is, in a sense, a trial initiated by the Heavenly Dao choosing a spokesperson.
If the Demon wins, the Demon rules Honghuang, and for billions of eons to come, the path of the Demon Dao will be followed.
If the Dao wins, the Dao rules Honghuang, and all things in heaven and earth will follow the will of heaven.
It is just that from the final result, the Heavenly Dao still leaned towards Hongjun's side, because the Dao is controllable while the Demon is uncontrollable.
Whoosh!
A figure appeared beside Xuanzang. The visitor wore ancient attire, noble and elegant, as if holy and sacred, making people look twice.
This is none other than Ancestral Mo Nv Houtu!
Houtu has not changed much; at this time, she is still very young. Although her magic power is boundless, there is still a trace of playfulness between her brows.
"Fellow Daoist Houtu, long time no see. Your elegance is even greater than before," Xuanzang said.
Houtu wore a smile and said:
"How is it? This heaven and earth!"
"Very good," Xuanzang said.
"Three thousand years have passed, and there are about ten years left until the Dao-Demon Struggle. With our cultivation, it will take some time to get from Buzhou Mountain to Western Mount Sumeru," Houtu said.
Honghuang is too vast. The current Honghuang has not yet experienced a battle of Saint-level, and it has not been shattered into many pieces like in later generations, scattered throughout the heavens.
Even for a Great Luo Golden Immortal, traveling requires a certain amount of time.
"No matter," Xuanzang said.
As he spoke, a Time and Space Gate appeared.
Qing'er, An Lao Liu, Shi Laoliu, the Demon Venerable, and Wang Wu appeared together.
Clearly, besides Xuanzang, these four had also come along.
Qing'er's expression was cold and emotionless; although she was stunningly beautiful, she gave off a sense of being miles away from everyone.
"Xuan Ge. Houtu Dalao!" An Lao Liu said excitedly.
"Hello there, Dalaos."
"Hiss!"
"Such top-tier spirit qi; being able to freeload off such dense, pure, and high-grade spirit qi is truly not a loss at all," Wang Wu said.
"Xiao Shi, why did you come over?" Xuanzang asked.
Shi Hao said carelessly: "Holy Monk Xuanzang, that Diliu Ye Fan said the meat of the Primordial Fierce Beast is extremely delicious."
"..., you actually believed that." Xuanzang could not help but smile.
"Anlan, since arriving in Honghuang, what changes do you feel in your body?"
Xuanzang looked at Anlan again and asked casually.
Anlan carefully sensed it and discovered that the power of heaven and earth was pouring into his body at every moment, and the Curse Law he had comprehended was also restless.
There was even a moment where he felt as if he were about to directly become an Immortal Emperor; that feeling was too wonderful.
But Anlan felt uneasy in his heart; if he were to become an Immortal Emperor regardless of the consequences, something terrible would definitely happen, and he might even dissolve into the Tao.
Because his method was not the Honghuang method; all of this seemingly increased cultivation was actually the Honghuang Law devouring his Dao Fruit.
Moreover, for some reason, Anlan felt as if he had been fitted with an invisible shackle, bound deeply.
In the main world, he could shatter a world or a universe with a wave of his hand.
But on Buzhou Mountain, his power was restricted, locked by the laws of heaven and earth.
Or perhaps, in essence, his power level was weaker than all things in this world.
"Xuan Ge, there seems to be an invisible shackle within heaven and earth," Anlan said.
"That is correct. Because of the existence of the Heavenly Dao, the power of all living beings is restricted to a certain degree.
Power that is too strong is prone to losing control, causing damage to heaven and earth, bringing disorder to the world, and plunging living beings into misery," Xuanzang said.
"However, if one becomes a Great Luo Golden Immortal, one can cast off this shackle."
"I understand," Anlan nodded.
"I will take everyone to tour Buzhou Mountain," Houtu said.
"Good," Xuanzang said.
"Sister Houtu, where are your brothers?" Shi Hao asked.
"My elder brothers are all cultivating; only I am free," Houtu said.
The group rode clouds to a mountain range on Buzhou Mountain, and from the sky, they could see many fierce beasts fighting and slaughtering each other below.
These ordinary fierce beasts had at least Earth Immortal cultivation, some small leaders even had Heavenly Immortal cultivation, and some fierce beast lords were Golden Immortals, their auras extremely powerful.
However, due to the cultivation system, in this current timeline, the Dao Ancestor had not yet passed down the Dharma, nor had he taught how to condense a Dao Fruit to achieve the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
Therefore, most of these fierce beasts had nothing but mana, without a Dao Fruit.
Furthermore, their cultivation followed the records in their bloodline inheritance step by step, or was simply instinct.
Shi Hao's face turned pale; he was intimidated by the aura of the fierce beasts, but tears of frustration still flowed from the corner of his mouth.
It was a pity he couldn't beat them, otherwise, he would have stewed these fierce beasts.
"An Lao Liu, you are a Quasi-Immortal Emperor; help me catch a fierce beast," Shi Hao said.
"A Quasi-Immortal Emperor roughly has the strength of a Golden Immortal to a Taiyi Golden Immortal; dealing with these fierce beasts is not a big problem," Xuanzang said.
As they spoke, a lord fierce beast that was also in the Taiyi Realm appeared, and suddenly the low-level fierce beasts in the mountain range prostrated themselves on the ground one after another; this was bloodline suppression.
"Xuan Ge, why do I feel a bit unstable?" Anlan said.
"Do not be afraid; with us here, it is not a big problem," Xuanzang said.
"Exactly, An Lao Liu. You wouldn't want to disappoint Brother Xuanzang, would you? If my cultivation were high enough, I would definitely be the first to rush out," Shi Hao said.
Although he was reckless, the gap at the moment was still too large to be bridged.
Otherwise, why would there be any need for Anlan to take action!
"Alright," Anlan nodded; he also wanted to test his skills.
However, he also sighed at the terror of Honghuang; a lord fierce beast was already this powerful.
With Buzhou Mountain being so vast, he wondered how many more such fierce beasts there were.
"Good luck," Wang Wu smiled, her Three Thousand Golden Cores madly devouring the Heavenly Spirit Qi.
Her cultivation technique was truly lacking in Heavenly Spirit Qi, especially high-grade spirit qi.
Boom!
Anlan transformed into a meteor and crashed into the ground, smashing a large crater into the earth.
He held the Immortal Shield and the Chifeng Spear, standing in battle formation.
Compared to before, the current Anlan had gained some composure.
The surrounding fierce beasts roared one after another, looking at the creature that had suddenly appeared with murderous intent.
And this Taiyi Realm lord looked like a tiger in appearance, its fur entirely black, without a hint of any other color.
Not only that, its body was massive, and there were two four-to-five-meter-long fangs by its mouth, sharp and chilling.
On its spine, there were also two bone-and-flesh wings like swords, and on these wings grew three black eyeballs each, six in total, looking weird.
Compared to it, Anlan's figure was very tiny.
This is one of the races of the Honghuang Primordial Fierce Beast, the Soul-Devouring Tiger; it is not very powerful among the fierce beasts, and cannot be compared to the Ancestor of the Four Great Fierce Beasts, but its strength is not weak either.
The Soul-Devouring Tiger looked at the living being before it; it was the first time it had seen one, and it was somewhat curious.
Why was such a tiny living being emitting such strong energy fluctuations from within its body?
Anlan gathered his strength, then brandished his Chifeng Spear to stab at the Soul-Devouring Tiger; his speed was extremely fast, directly tearing through space, covering a thousand miles in an instant, aiming straight for its face, yet at the very last moment, he changed his attack method into a plain and unadorned sliding tackle to attack its abdomen.
For most living beings, the abdomen is a soft part and also extremely fragile.
Facing Anlan's surprise attack, the Soul-Devouring Tiger suddenly opened its large mouth as he approached and swallowed him in one gulp with lightning speed.
"?" Anlan.
Space was silent at this moment, and the Soul-Devouring Tiger let out a fragrant burp.
On the cloud, several people looked at each other in dismay. This scene seemed a bit grotesque; would you dare believe that a Quasi-Immortal Emperor was actually swallowed by a fierce beast of Honghuang?
"Oh no, An Lao Liu has been eaten." Shi Hao's expression changed drastically.
"Damn, this is Honghuang; Anlan won't die, will he?" Wang Wu said.
"No, look at the eyes on the wings of this Soul-Devouring Tiger," Xuanzang said.
Everyone looked over and saw that one of the eyes was filled with flames, with heaven-filling fire burning, and Anlan was right inside it.
This is the innate divine ability of the Soul-Devouring Tiger; each eye represents a world and a type of elemental force of heaven and earth.
Any living being that is eaten is basically thrown into it and refined by the elements inside to become a part of the world.
Anlan and the Soul-Devouring Tiger have similar cultivation levels, so naturally, it could not be refined in a short time.
Moreover, the Soul-Devouring Tiger has bloodline inheritance and is nurtured by the laws of Honghuang heaven and earth day and night, so its Flesh and magic power are even stronger than Anlan's.
As one grows and the other wanes, if nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected is about to happen.
Houtu used the origin Earth Law to condense a ground spike that suddenly pierced the Soul-Devouring Tiger's chrysanthemum, killing it instantly; the scene was truly bloody.
The male group members present, including Xuanzang, Demon Lord Chonglou, and Xiao Shi, all inexplicably felt a chill down their backs.
Wang Wu, however, had shining eyes and showed an expression of admiration toward Houtu.
A big shot is indeed a big shot; even the way she strikes is so full of artistic flair.
After the Soul-Devouring Tiger died, Anlan broke out from its body, covered in viscous liquid.
"I said, here, as long as I am here, you will not be in danger," Houtu said.
"Many thanks, Houtu Dalao." Anlan bowed in thanks, his expression slightly awkward.
This was truly failing before the battle even began; he never expected the Soul-Devouring Tiger to disregard martial virtue and swallow him in one gulp.
Chat Group.
Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Cough cough, An Lao Liu, does this count as a stain on your life? You sent yourself away with a single sliding tackle."
At the same time, the group livestream was also ongoing. Everything about Honghuang could also be seen by the group members.
By rights, one should not laugh at such a serious scene.
But after Anlan was out of danger, the atmosphere in the Chat Group became lively, and they began to roast him one after another.
Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "I seem to have seen this scene somewhere before."
Demon Queen: "Absurd, a Quasi-Immortal Emperor was actually eaten by a wild fierce beast of Honghuang."
Kyushu's Number One Golden Core: "It's not that absurd, after all, the strength difference between the two sides isn't much, hahaha."
Zui Ai He Shounai: "Bao'er Jie, everyone, wait until I roast this little tiger; there will be a share for everyone."
Na Du Tong Backbone Feng Baobao: "Okay!"
Spring and Autumn Sword Deity: "Looks like I'm in for a treat."
Bad Commander: "A treat? Old Li, are you sure you can digest the flesh of such a powerful fierce beast?"
Spring and Autumn Sword Deity: "Don't need much, just a little bit is enough."
Zui Ai He Shounai: "No problem, with my exclusive secret barbecue technique, everyone can do it, hehe."
