Chapter 344

"Main Mission 1: Protect Demon King Chi Tie from being killed by the five demon kings and prevent the destruction of the remaining human inheritance. Success reward: 100 Moral Points; failure penalty: 20 Moral Points deducted!"

"Team Building Mission: Kill at least one of the culprits who destroyed the Great Ming Dynasty: the Kong Que Great Wisdom King, the Dragon Tree King, the Black Ox King, the White Bone King, or the Wisdom Wolf King. Success reward: Team establishment qualification."

"Side Mission: For every demon king killed, reward 200 Moral Points; killing the Kong Que Great Wisdom King rewards 300 Moral Points."

"Faction Mission: Kill demon race Samsara travelers; for every one killed, reward 10,000 Merit Points."

"This mission is a faction mission. There are two major factions of Samsara travelers: demon race and human race. The faction is determined by race and cannot be chosen. Converting factions will result in punishment by the Lord of Samsara's forced mission. The mission will encounter other Samsara teams, loose travelers, and hostile Samsara travelers."

"Killing Samsara travelers of the same faction will result in faction punishment."

…………

"The Lord of Samsara's missions are becoming more and more formal!" Qian Chen sighed.

Junior Sister Si frowned slightly, turned her head and said: "Yan Yan Shixiong, after you told me that you suspected someone in the Land of Samsara was scheming against you, I found an opportunity to ask my father. He said it is possible for Samsara travelers to use the Lord of Samsara to issue missions."

"Because he can do it himself!"

Yan Shu and Ning Qingchen were both shocked. Yan Shu said solemnly: "Does that mean that as authority increases, the other true face of the Land of Samsara will be opened to us?"

Qian Chen pondered: "The faction mission has confirmed one of my judgments... the Land of Samsara is divided into different factions. Human Samsara travelers, demon Samsara travelers... it seems all sides have a hand in it. Currently, we are just pawns completing missions in the Land of Samsara. Only when we reach a certain level will we have the opportunity to transform into chess players!"

"The boundary for this is tentatively set at Primordial Spirit!"

"The faction confrontation mission, with such a clear stance, shows that at least two factions are using the Lord of Samsara to compete for that world."

"And our stance is beyond doubt..."

Yan Shu sneered, and the sword qi in the sword box behind him unsheathed, cold light shooting everywhere, making people feel stern: "Slaying demons and eliminating monsters, it is only a matter of killing! This time, apart from Demon King Chi Tie, there is no demon that cannot be killed..."

Qian Chen thought for a moment and said in astonishment: "I originally planned to exchange for some magic treasures and spells to restrain the demon race, but thinking about it carefully... it seems we are really not lacking in ways to deal with the demon race in the Daoist arts we have learned!"

Si Princess Qingcheng counted and clicked her tongue: "The Zhengyi Sect alone has over a hundred types of talismans to restrain the demon race. If that world has a flourishing divine path, I'm afraid even Qi Refinement cultivators could suppress and kill demons and monsters of the Penetrating Law realm."

Yan Shu said calmly: "The overseas Dragon Palace has also gathered many sea races, which is a major opponent for my Shaoqing disciples in slaying demons and eliminating monsters."

Ning Qingchen said: "The Cloud-Mist Sect also has several spells to deal with the demon race."

"It seems the Earth Immortal Realm has also experienced a tragic war between humans and demons, but this time we won, and the demon race fled to the Great Wilderness Continent of the East Pole."

Qian Chen remembered the 'Ten Thousand Gu into Plague' technique used by Zhu Wuchang of the Meishan Sect; it would be quite useful in this mission world.

"In these three years, I have indeed refined many Daoist arts of the Supreme Louguan, such as Borrowing Wind, Spreading Mist, Praying for Clear Skies, Praying for Rain, Sitting in Fire, Entering Water, Covering the Sun, and Controlling the Wind, but the power of most of these spells is not as good as my one sword."

Even though Qian Chen's speed in practicing spells was extremely fast, often refining one in two or three days, he still needed time if he wanted to master them.

When a spell is practiced to the realm of forming a seal, it can be considered a Daoist art. When a Daoist art is practiced to the realm of being handy and forming a divine ability on its own, it is a divine ability.

For a 'cheat-user' like Qian Chen, who has extremely high sword skills, extremely many magic treasures, and an external pill that comes with divine thunder and the great divine ability of the Heavenly Mansion Divine Thunder, ordinary Daoist arts are really not as good as his one sword. And the convenience of spells has also been replaced by the dozens of magic treasures on his body.

This resulted in spells that did not become divine abilities being almost meaningless to him.

And the cultivation methods for the several great divine abilities recorded in the Supreme Louguan either require the Qi of Gang and Sha to practice the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Methods—'Wielding Creation', 'Reversing Yin and Yang', 'Moving Stars and Changing Dippers', 'Returning Heaven and Reversing the Moon'—which are indeed formidable.

But the required Qi of Gang and Sha is too scarce!

And there are several great divine abilities that do not require the Qi of Gang and Sha to practice, such as 'Spirit Light Escape Method', 'Innate Purple Qi', 'Gate of the Profound Female', and 'Valley Spirit Never Dies', all of which require a hundred years of bitter work...

This resulted in Qian Chen, a dignified direct disciple of the Supreme Louguan, using very few spells from the Supreme Louguan. They are either Shaoqing's sword skills, the Shenxiao Sect's thunder methods, or the Guanghan Palace's spells.

This resulted in someone shouting from the sidelines every time he made a move: "Fairy Guanghan!"

He was also 'f***ing the Jade Rabbit'!

Now that Qian Chen counted, he found that there was finally a place for a proper Supreme Louguan spell to be used, and he couldn't help but laugh loudly: "I just happened to refine a 'Water Mirror Round Light' technique some time ago. After I refine a few more spells into it later, I can refine it into a 'Demon-Illuminating Mirror'..."

"'Demon-Illuminating Mirror'?" Si Princess Qingcheng slapped her right palm and said: "This spell is quite suitable. If you practice it to the third layer of seals, you can illuminate the original form of most of the demon race. If you practice it to a higher level, there will be even more methods to restrain the demon race. Legend has it that after practicing it into a divine ability, it can even directly damage the Primordial Spirit of the demon race."

Yan Shu shook his head slightly and said: "Although Shaoqing has this spell, no one practices it. We have... the 'Demon-Slaying Sword Technique'!"

The sword pellet whistled and gathered sword qi, slashing out of thin air. The sword qi leaped and shuttled through the void.

It is precisely the Demon-Slaying Sword Technique specifically aimed at breaking the demonic qi, slaying the formidable physical bodies of demon monsters, and moving sword qi in and out of the void. Every move is aimed at the weakness of a type of demon.

Si Princess Qingcheng said: "I can practice it for a while!"

Qian Chen was slightly stunned, thinking to himself: "So this is not a unique spell of the Supreme Louguan!"

Qian Chen's several magic treasures had all been refined and restored, and he had an extra 'Central Earth Divine Light'. Qian Chen hadn't decided whether to refine it into the Heavenly Net Umbrella to unify heaven and earth, or refine it into the Flowing Cloud Flying Sleeves to stabilize the 'Universe in the Sleeve', so he temporarily left it alone.

Everything else was ready. After practicing the Demon-Illuminating Mirror for a while, the few came to the white jade platform and initiated the mission.

At the same time, they learned the name of that world—the Qiongming World!

The light and shadow before their eyes changed, and Qian Chen found that above his head was already a starry sky.

Yan Shu and the others were all by his side, which seemed to be a benefit of forming a team. The four of them were all in a place of broken walls and ruined remains, with chaotic mountain ridges all around, looking like burned-down Daoist temples and Buddhist monasteries.

Buildings in the wilderness probably couldn't escape these two types.

"This world has an unusual aura!" After entering the special state of slaying demons and eliminating monsters, Yan Shu became quite sparing with his words.

"The heaven and earth vitality, spirit and malevolent qi are mixed, relatively primitive. It takes three times the bitter work for us cultivators to absorb..." Qian Chen could imagine that this mixed spirit and malevolent qi was not conducive to cultivators forming a Foundation, but it was quite beneficial for the demon race's cultivation.

It seems that the protagonist of heaven and earth has changed, and the cultivators are different, so the transformation of the environment is also different.

"This, is this a mass grave?" Si Princess Qingcheng turned around the broken walls and saw that behind the ruins was a large area of graveyards. Most didn't even have grave mounds, and there were even skeletons that hadn't been buried deeply, exposed to the outside.

Clearly, it was just a small ruin between wild mountains, yet there were ten times as many graveyards.

Yan Shu crossed the broken wall and stood by the mass grave, killing intent appearing on his face, and a sword sound came from the sword box behind him. Seeing this scene, the few who lived in the cultivation world of the Earth Immortal Realm, where the human race was supreme, finally understood the weight of the few words in the mission introduction...

'The masses of demons slaughtered the human race, with white bones exposed in the wilderness, and less than one in ten living beings remaining.'

Looking at the bloodstains left by various beast claws on the broken walls, Qian Chen's expression also became silent.

At this moment, faint beast roars came from the distance.

Two figures were running wildly on the ground, tied with 'Armor Horses' and stuck with 'Wind-Controlling' talismans. Behind them, a wild boar the size of a house was chasing them. The wild boar's eyes were blood-red, its whole body wrapped in demonic qi, and its eyes revealed a human-like killing intent, cruelly and playfully chasing behind the two.

On both sides of the road, there were several mounds of earth constantly rising.

The man tied with 'Armor Horses' who fell behind suddenly had a deep pit appear under his feet, and a badger demon drilled out, opening its mouth to bite his heel. The man exerted his Qi to leap up, using leg techniques with both legs, kicking down repeatedly.

The leg shadows transformed into dozens of shadows, kicking the badger demon.

But the badger demon, with its thick skin and rough flesh, had yellow light squirming on its body, and yellow earth covered it. It just rolled on the ground and climbed up again.

But it was precisely because of this delay that the wild boar behind had already caught up. The tusks in its mouth emitted a black-iron-like faint light, fiercely shooting toward the man's back.

The man turned around and slashed with a saber, hitting the tusks.

The single saber shattered instantly, and the man also spat out a mouthful of blood, taking advantage of the momentum to fly out several zhang, then used his movement technique to continue running wildly forward.

They had already arrived by the mass grave behind the ruins. At this moment, several mounds of earth had already circled in front of them. The middle-aged man running in the very front reached out and cast a copper ring. The copper ring vibrated slightly, emitting a few buzzing sounds.

At this time, several grave mounds in the mass grave suddenly burst, and several walking corpses rushed out from the grave mounds, grabbing the badger demon that had poked its head out of the mound of earth.

The middle-aged man took out a bone saber, cut his arm, and let the blood flow onto the saber. The bone saber sucked the blood clean and emitted a trace of red light.

Only then did he turn around fiercely and chop off the head of a badger demon with one saber.

But he had only pulled out his saber and killed three badger demons when other badger demons had already broken free from the walking corpses and rushed toward him. The screams of the man behind him tugged at his heartstrings. The man could only bite the tip of his tongue and spit out an arrow of blood, piercing the head of a badger demon that had rushed up.

But his spell could only attack one demon beast, and the other badger demons had already rushed up from different directions. The hunting instinct of the demon race allowed them to cooperate seamlessly.

Not to mention the wild boar school-officer demon of the Great Demon level behind them!

The middle-aged man sighed, and could only drum up his True Qi, preparing to burn his essence and blood to fight for his life. And the man who fell behind roared: "I'll hold them off, Uncle You, run!"

"You can't hold them off! The school-officer great demon under the Kong Que Great Wisdom King—if it weren't for the fact that it wanted to play with us, it would have caught up long ago!"

The man called Uncle You sighed: "Fortunately, my spell has already been left behind. Even if we die, although we cannot pass the news that the Kong Que Great Wisdom King is about to take action against the Great King Chi Tie to the various sects, we can still arouse everyone's vigilance!"

But at this moment, Yan Shu and Qian Chen had already stepped over the broken wall and appeared in the eyes of the two. The two were first overjoyed, but after seeing the faces of the four, they felt a sense of desolation.

The man thought to himself: "How can there still be people here? Which sect's disciples are they, and how did they break into here?"

Seeing Yan Shu with a big beard, he still had some expectations, but seeing the slightly young men and women of Qian Chen and the three, that bit of expectation dissipated in the blink of an eye.

"So young, it seems they are out for demon-slaying trials under the leadership of their sect elders. But how can they come to a place so close to the Demon Kingdom for trials? With these three dragging them down, it would be good if he could escape back himself!"

The man sighed in despair.

The wild boar great demon had already used its tusks to pick up the man who fell last, opening its blood basin of a mouth, the stench overwhelming. The wild boar was fierce and crazy, its saliva flying everywhere, and between those foul-smelling sharp teeth, there was actually a severed finger stuck in the gaps.

Looking at the thickness of that finger, it was clearly a child's.

Yan Shu was already furious to the extreme. The sword box behind his back opened, and hundreds of sword qi shot out. The sword qi, mixed with the power to pierce everything, pierced the wild boar demon before the man fell, and dozens of sword qi directly dismembered the wild boar's huge body, the foul-smelling blood splashing everywhere.

Amidst the crisscrossing sword qi, all living beings with demonic qi within a ten-mile radius were instantly slain.

Those badger demons died as soon as they were slashed by the sword qi. The middle-aged man who was trapped in the encirclement turned his head and saw the badger demons beside him instantly decapitated.

His mind went blank for a moment. After coming to his senses, he said joyfully: "Core Formation True Person! It's a Core Formation True Person!"

He couldn't help but throw himself before Yan Shu and shout loudly: "True Person, please listen, I am You San of the Ghost Soul White Bone Sect. I was ordered to investigate the Demon Kingdom and discovered that the Kong Que Great Wisdom King has summoned demon generals and is about to take action against the Great King Chi Tie of the Guzhu Kingdom."

"Please, True Person, send a message to the various major sects!"

Yan Shu, however, casually condensed a sword qi, holding it horizontally at his neck and said: "Corpse-Manipulating Copper Ring, White Bone Blood-Drinking Saber... they are all demonic magic treasures, and the white bone saber is filled with resentment. Did you refine it yourself?"

The man looked up in confusion, his face blank. He touched the white bone saber and said: "The white bone saber was blood-sacrificed by my wife."

"These walking corpses are also human commoners!"

At this moment, Qian Chen reached out and pressed on Yan Shu's shoulder, saying: "Yan Yan Shixiong, the human race is already in such a situation, some things may not be as we think."

Another man who had just escaped from the wild boar's mouth saw the few and hurriedly knelt down: "Hu Wu Liu of the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Sect! Paying respects to the True Persons..."

He quietly looked up, seeing Yan Shu's face serious, holding his sword horizontally on You San's shoulder, his eyes very puzzled, and could only ask in a low voice: "True Person, I don't know what crime You San has committed?"

Yan Shu saw that although this person's magic power was extremely weak, it was not mixed, and was clearly pure righteous magic power.

These two, one righteous and one demonic, yet mixed together without any barriers, made Yan Shu, who had a very heavy sense of right and wrong, somewhat unable to adapt.

Qian Chen stepped forward, moved Yan Shu's sword qi away, helped the two up, and said: "My senior brother hates evil as much as he hates his enemies. Seeing that your magic treasure was blood-sacrificed by living people, he was somewhat angry."

Only then did You San realize and say: "So that's how it is!" He touched the white bone saber and said desolately: "My wife's aptitude was not good, so after she turned forty, she voluntarily blood-sacrificed this white bone saber for me!"

That unspoken cruelty in his words made Si Princess Qingcheng and the others' hair stand on end.

Yan Shu said word by word, squeezed out from between his teeth: "Slaying demons and eliminating monsters is truly the great righteousness of my generation. This time, we will not just kill one demon king. All the man-eating demons in this world, and that dog-fart Kong Que Great Wisdom King—even if I, Yan Shu, break my sword here, I will make them all lose their heads!"
