Chapter 759: The Past of the Ten Thousand Demon Divine Court

Yan Shu broke free from the darkness and found that he was still standing in the cave. The gray-white mist roiled, and countless hands reached out from the mist, reaching toward him. But Yan Shu didn't have a trace of movement, letting those countless hands grab him.

The five-colored clothes on his body were like thick rosy light, making those hands unable to touch him, and even burning out little black spots.

Yan Shu looked at the shaman wearing the tiger god man-eating mask in the distance, his tone calm and composed.

"You don't even dare to wear His mask!"

"You don't dare to call His name directly!"

The Great Shaman's dance gradually stagnated. He wore the mask and stared straight at Yan Shu. Under the ferocious tiger god man-eating mask, there seemed to be a gaze that made people tremble, focusing on Yan Shu.

"Nuo mask, Nuo mask, if you wear it, you are a god; if you take it off, you are a human."

Yan Shu untied the sword box on his back and placed it horizontally on his knees. The white dog also stopped as if it knew his heart, looking back and whining at the Great Shaman.

"But you are not wearing His mask, because you fear Him like a god and a demon. You are wearing the head of a god that was cut off by Him, a tiger god. That tiger god is Qiangliang, right? It is rumored that it was originally one of the twelve earthly branches of the Five-Colored Divine Court, but because it betrayed the Five-Colored Divine Court, it ate people in the Ten Thousand Demon Divine Court. Later, the Dao Ancestor returned from the Yu Yu Jiuyou and beheaded it on Mount Qiangliang!"

"Qiangliang eats the crucified!"

"You wear this Nuo mask to drive away the crucified, and at the same time, with the help of its eyes, you reflect that scene of Him dancing wildly like a Supreme Supreme Tian Mo destroying the Ten Thousand Demon Divine Court. So, the one who dragged me into the dance of world-extinction was never your dance, but your eyes! I will slash away that sliver of your gaze!"

"You wear the Qiangliang Nuo mask, transforming into a god, with the dance of world-extinction reflected in your eyes!"

Yan Shu stroked the sword box, and a clear sword sound echoed slightly within, slashing away that demonic shadow in his heart once again.

He said these things not without reason, but because that demonic shadow of world-extinction was truly too terrifying, and Yan Shu knew its origin, so he had a trace of awe in his heart that he didn't dare to disobey. Before, he used the image of Qian Chen, whom he was too familiar with, to imagine the demonic shadow as Qian Shidi, only then did he dare to draw his sword, slash away that gaze, and break free from it.

Now his words were like a sword, slashing toward the Great Shaman while also slashing toward himself, wanting to completely slash away that sliver of awe in his heart.

"Even if it is the Daoist Ancestor, one can only respect, not fear. If one day, the Dao Ancestor violates the righteousness in my heart, I should also draw my sword!"

This was the heart sword that Yan Shu had prepared in his heart beforehand.

Looking at the Great Shaman whose aura was deep and distant, like a ghost and god, the tiger god man-eating Nuo mask was as vivid as life, and the tall human figure carried a distant, mysterious aura that aroused fear in people's bones. But Yan Shu had no respect.

"What are you afraid of? You fear Him, so you use Him to scare me?"

"Do you think I am the same as you, like an ant in front of Him, not even daring to have the thought of fighting back?"

"Do you think the dance of world-extinction you see, the sinking of the countless realms of the cosmos, even the destroyed things have to be summoned back by this dance, seeing is a power, so I will also be brought into that world? No, no, no... I know, it is you who wore the Nuo mask and fell into that world. You want to find someone to accompany you, accompany your tribe?"

"You think a Daoist disciple like me has a god in my heart, so if that god turns into a demon, I have to fear and dread it?"

"Wrong!"

Yan Shu laughed loudly, got off the white dog, took off his five-colored clothes, and entered the gray-white mist with his upper body bare. His eyes were bright, and he forced his way toward the Great Shaman, toward those countless hands, step by step, saying: "Nuo dance is nothing but borrowing the power of gods to drive away ghosts! Driving Nuo is a heart method. Ghost plagues fear evil gods in their hearts, so they can drive them away! And evil gods also have fears in their hearts, so they can dance like Heavenly Demons, reflecting the figure they fear most!"

"Such a Qiangliang god, after wearing the mask, can transform into this god, and even in his gaze, the last scene he saw remains!"

"You are already a Great Shaman of the Primordial Spirit level!"

"These crucified are the embers of sacrificing to Qiangliang. Ordinary tigers eat people and then drive ghosts as servants. After Qiangliang eats people, their souls turn into the crucified. But it is afraid, it fears that demonic shadow to death! It thinks that demonic shadow is invincible..."

"But I am not afraid..."

"So, you should be afraid of me! Why aren't you afraid of me? You don't even dare to call that name, I dare..."

Yan Yan Shixiong Yan looked up and laughed loudly, shouting step by step: "Taiyi! Taiyi! Taiyi! Taiyi! Supreme Demon Ancestor! Supreme Supreme Supreme Tian Mo! Incarnation of Destruction..."

Every time he said a name, he took a step forward.

The group of crucified Great Shamans couldn't help but take a step back. Every time he shouted, the bells on the Great Shaman trembled!

In front of Yan Shu, the boundless white mist parted like a river breaking its flow. Those dense hands were raised high, changing from their original cruelty and terror to a kind of worship and awe.

The divine tiger mask on the Great Shaman's face, the human head in its mouth seemed to be about to bleed, and it roared at Yan Shu.

"Supreme Dao Ancestor!"

Yan Shu shouted decisively.

He looked proud, staring at the Great Shaman. The Great Shaman wore the mask of an evil god, driving away fierce ghosts. In the eyes of the evil god, there was only the demonic shadow that destroyed everything before the head fell, only the awe carved into his soul. But in Yan Shu's eyes, there was only weak but sharp and tenacious sword light!

"There is a demon in your eyes, but there is only a sword in mine!"

"The sword... can slash demons..."

"So, why don't you retreat?"

Yan Shu shouted, and the dense hands beside him immediately lowered, shrinking back into the gray-white mist bit by bit.

He turned his head slightly, and wherever his gaze reached, the white mist retreated like a sea parting and a river breaking.

The Great Shaman wearing the Qiangliang mask suddenly bowed slightly, lowered his head, and retreated into the mist.

Yan Shu looked around and saw that all evil spirits dared not approach again, so he walked straight onto the white dog. The white dog knelt down to let him up. Ning Qingchen, sitting on the green ox, was waiting for him in front. Seeing this majestic scene, she couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected of Yan Yan Shixiong Yan!"

Yan Shu put on his Daoist robe again, but shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Just a big ghost driving away small ghosts..."

"I just borrowed my familiarity with Qian Shidi to slash away the ghost in my heart at that moment. But Qian Shidi's demonic nature... The Eleven Ghost Plagues are extremely difficult to deal with, yet they fear that Nuo mask evil god. The evil god's fierce power has intimidated the ages, but the main body fears that demonic shadow to death! That demonic shadow is..."

"Qian Shidi! Just how big a ghost are you? Just a sliver of majesty, and you can borrow it to drive away so many small ghosts!"

Yan Shu couldn't help sighing.

That Great Shaman was at the Primordial Spirit level. By logic, Yan Shu was just an ant in front of him. But he chose to take out the demonic shadow in his heart that was most terrifying, most desperate, and destroyed everything, wanting to take everyone here and sink into the nightmare-like world he was trapped in, forever being constantly destroyed by that demonic shadow.

He stared at everyone, looking like he was dancing wildly to take them into that world of destruction, but in reality, he was reflecting what was in his eyes into everyone's eyes, letting everyone see the scene that Qiangliang saw through his gaze.

But Yan Shu slashed away the demonic shadow in his own eyes and cut off that gaze.

Nuo method uses big ghosts to drive away small ghosts. Even mortals without cultivation can use the awe and fear that evil gods leave in the hearts of ghost plagues to drive them away.

Similarly, the Great Shaman has a demonic shadow in his heart, and Yan Shu's sword slashed away the demonic shadow reflected in his own heart, so he could drive away the Great Shaman and drive away the evil god. Even if their cultivation was ten million times stronger than Yan Shu's, they absolutely did not have the courage to make a move.

This is the Nuo method...

Yan Shu already knew the root of all this. It was when that shaman was promoted to Great Shaman and truly transformed into a god, because he chose Qiangliang as the Nuo mask, he saw the scene that the evil god saw last, and was completely driven crazy by that demonic shadow that destroyed everything!

His eyes saw that dance, reflected that world, and dragged his tribe and everything around him into the boundless purgatory created by that one glance.

Regret made him fall into the demon path. After being sealed here by the Quanrong, he kept wandering, wanting to drag everyone into that world.

"Qian Shidi! If it really comes to that time, I finally have the power of one sword, but what I can do... is just one sword."

Yan Shu had no joy in his heart, only more worry for Qian Chen.

That kind of existence, just a shadow reflected in the eyes of an evil god, crossed countless times, incredibly passed to the eyes of a mask that was only invited by someone using the Nuo method, and finally reflected in my eyes. But I still used all my courage to overcome that sliver of shadow.

And Qian Shidi, you have to face Him, face all of Him...

May you have the courage that even I cannot match, may you be fearless, may you slash away the demon in your heart, may you be worry-free and peaceful!

The sword box behind Yan Shu rang long, and the white mist in front was like being split by a long sword, parting a long road.

Yan Shu drove the white dog and, together with Ning Qingchen, chased after the Yu family and the Shenxiao Sect members who had already fled in defeat.

Yu Lingxiao drove the white dog and ran wildly. The white dog under his seat was transformed from a Heavenly Mansion Tianfu Tianfu Zhenfu, comparable to a Primordial Spirit True Immortal. But at this time, the white dog was also wailing. The ignorant talisman spirit was so scared that it was running while peeing and shaking its legs. If he weren't riding the dog himself, Yu Lingxiao wouldn't even believe that his talisman soldier could pee?

This was truly scared out of the function.

He left the group of Yu family members far behind, feeling that hands were constantly reaching out from his side to pull him. At first, the five-colored clothes blocked it twice, but soon, even the five-colored clothes were torn. If the Mountain-Driving Whip hadn't been on his back all the time, with spiritual light protecting his heart, he would have been pulled off the white dog long ago.

"Great terror!"

"It's definitely great terror. That Great Shaman, that Great Shaman's dance is probably the Dance of Destruction among the Nuo dances!"

"Those who fled later are dead! Even if this dance is danced by a Great Shaman, he must pay the same price, and that is to bring everything to destruction. This is a taboo in Nuo dance, which can bring a world to sink together. The bumpkins of the Earth Immortal Realm are trapped in this realm and have no knowledge, but my Yu family is a direct descendant of the Heavenly Court. There is no lack of prosperous Witch Dao worlds in the countless realms of the cosmos. If they encounter someone they cannot fight, those Great Shamans will dance this dance and destroy the whole world together with the enemy!"

"Fortunately, there are not many witches who can dance this dance."

Yu Lingxiao was trembling. He fled the first moment the Great Shaman danced and didn't look at the shaman's eyes at all. But even so, he still caught a sliver of the demonic shadow's destructive Dao-rhyme. The mist around him became thicker and thicker, which was a sign that he was gradually falling into that world of destruction.

The closer to destruction, the more 'non-existent' things one can contact.

Saying they don't exist is because they have been destroyed. Life is destroyed and has a physical body, but the destruction of the physical body still has a soul, and the destruction of the soul still has memories. Even if the memories are also destroyed, there is still information left by heaven and earth that it once existed.

Even if this information also sinks and scatters into countless complexities, there are still traces left.

The so-called non-existence is just that it can no longer be seen. If it can be seen, one will fall into that world of destruction. Those existences approach the essence of destruction, so they can get close to you.

Yu Lingxiao is like this.

He began to see the Quanrong people!

In all records, the Quanrong were just Rongdi whose customs were different from the Central Lands. Nowadays, some parts of the Xiongnu still retain their customs and are considered descendants of the Quanrong.

But what Yu Lingxiao saw were ancient divine people with dog heads and human bodies. They had crisscrossing paths, and chickens and dogs could be heard, like an ancient pastoral scene.

"The hallucinations are getting more and more serious!"

Yu Lingxiao reached back, wanting to grasp the Mountain-Driving Whip inserted behind him. When he got it in his hand, he saw that the Mountain-Driving Whip had turned into an earthy yellow stone root.

The Quanrong people began to point at him, making low barking sounds in their mouths, woofing like a group of puppies barking.

But Yu Lingxiao became more and more vigilant in his heart, his scalp tingling, and the hair on his back stood up. At first, these people couldn't see him, but now they began to whisper about him. Yu Lingxiao suddenly made a sharp turn and rushed into the houses on both sides of the road.

He couldn't go forward anymore. Even if he hit the ominous dark green stone wall, it would be better than sinking deeper and deeper in this illusion.

But at this time, a noble person with a white dog head, wearing silk and covered in bronze, pointed a finger and fixed him.

Soft and pleasant human speech came from its mouth, saying: "Are you a five-colored human? Why did you break into our Quanfang Kingdom?"

"What Quanfang Kingdom, you are just an illusion in my heart!" Yu Lingxiao sneered: "The heart moves, so all phenomena arise, evil demons grow in the dark, so those who subdue demons must first subdue their hearts..."

"So you are a cultivator!"

The noble of the Quanfang Kingdom said happily: "Ever since the Yu Yu Jiuyou caused chaos, evil demons have been breeding between heaven and earth. Cultivators are extremely prone to falling into the demon path. Those who cannot distinguish between truth and illusion like you are still light. Many cultivators killed wantonly after falling into the demon path. Nowadays, our Ten Thousand Spirits no longer cultivate with primordial qi. Instead, we hold mantras to cultivate spirits, borrow the protection of the gods, cultivate mantra spirits, and cultivate into gods!"

"You five-colored people are hated by heaven and earth and are hostile to all races. Many have entered the demon path and become demons!"

"The remaining ones dare not contact the Ten Thousand Spirits and are scattered in remote places, lingering on. Nowadays, it is common to hold onto the Daoist cultivator path. But you don't know! The new Divine Emperor has pardoned your crimes and ordered us Ten Thousand Spirits not to slaughter you again."

"Now the Ten Thousand Spirits are harmonious, and you five-colored people are also one of the Ten Thousand Spirits, no longer discriminated against or driven away."

"It is also because you five-colored people slaughtered all living beings too much in the past. I have read many history books from that time, and it was indeed too cruel. No wonder after the Five-Colored Divine Court fell, your human race was ridiculed by the Ten Thousand Spirits. Of course, at that time, the Ten Thousand Spirits were not yet enlightened, and the revenge was extremely cruel. But now the Emperor has returned to his position, heaven and earth have been cleansed, all turbid and evil auras have been washed away, all races prosper together, everyone respects heaven and earth, their hearts are refreshed and their qi is calm, and there is no more harm of greed and killing. Except for the Yu Yu Jiuyou demon lords still invading, the world is already peaceful!"

The noble smiled: "Don't hide, just be a servant by my side!"

"I have loved reading human books since I was young. My parents often taught me, fearing that I would learn the cunning, vicious, greedy, and lazy things inside, and lose the peace and kindness of the Ten Thousand Spirits. Fortunately, I also learned the books of the Divine Court and never deviated from my nature."

"Although it is said that you five-colored people are greedy, lustful, and love disaster, killing and fighting a lot, and are like demonic roots planted deep, difficult to educate, but I see that your books also talk about benevolence, righteousness, and morality. It's just that you emphasize what you lack, which has another kind of cuteness."

A furry Quanrong person looked at him with an expression of looking at something cute, a pet. Yu Lingxiao only felt his hair stand on end.

Everything here was very peaceful, completely without the appearance of evil demons causing trouble as it said. The faces of those Quanrong people only had curiosity, rarely carrying malice, and at most only disgust.

On the contrary, Yu Lingxiao was already prepared to swing the Mountain-Driving Whip and kill everyone here.

"This illusion is too strange! And what are these people saying?" Yu Lingxiao smiled on the surface, but secretly his killing intent was even stronger: "Five-Colored Divine Court? Five-Colored Human Race? Isn't that something from before the New Heaven? Could this be transformed from old qi, evolving the scene of the Ten Thousand Demon Divine Court at that time?"

"So it's a demon person..."

Yu Lingxiao remembered some extremely secret Demonic Path books hidden in the Langhuan Pavilion, which recorded that demon people were good materials for alchemy and refining. Among them, the feather tribe was fed with secret methods, and the eggs produced were extremely top-grade Heche pills. One feather tribe member was a small alchemy furnace, which could produce one jade egg per month. Using various spiritual medicines to refine, the pills contained various innate primordial qi, which could be called supreme treasures.

The dog tribe could refine dog ghosts, as well as various demon lords.

Because after refining, there was a natural loyalty, rarely biting the master, and they were specially used to refine the Nine-Mother Ghost or ghost mastiffs, which were demons of mutual devouring and extreme resentment.

The cow tribe had the strongest blood qi and was good food.

Various methods of dissecting the abdomen to take the fetus, refining the soul with demonic fire, and extreme torture to turn these demon people into pills, demon lords, and magic treasures emerged in Yu Lingxiao's mind.

He had already begun to subconsciously look at the demon people around him, counting their numbers, and seeing what magic treasures were suitable for custom-making.

"Should I use the most common and powerful Demonic Fire Golden Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, or refine dog ghosts, and devour each other to refine into the Nine-Mother Nether Ghost Mastiff? Devouring Ghost Ten Thousand Souls Mastiff, Devouring Nether Devouring Moon Mastiff... If the nine mastiffs come out together, they can tear even Primordial Spirit True Immortals to pieces!"

Yu Lingxiao didn't treat these demon spirits as people at all, just looking at them with beast heads but polite human bodies, and monstrous killing intent arose.

The noble only saw Yu Lingxiao smiling, but for some reason, suddenly felt a great fear in his heart, as if the thing in front of him was his natural enemy, a predator that treated him as food.

At this time, a team of loyal sand-skin dog tribes, holding bronze weapons, rushed in front of the noble.

They shouted: "Princess, be careful! Just now the National Teacher looked at this person with divine eyes. He is not a living being from this world, but a demon race that escaped from the Yu Yu Jiuyou. He is the most cruel and fierce!"

The noble looked at Yu Lingxiao and hadn't reacted yet. Yu Lingxiao had already sacrificed the paper man beside him, laughing cacklingly: "I thought it was some kind of strangeness, but I didn't expect it to be a kingdom of demon people. Do you know that my human race specializes in slaughtering demon people?"

"Legend has it that the Ten Thousand Demon Divine Court transformed beasts into humans, treated demons as spirits, and its etiquette and morality were even more prosperous than our human race. But what kind of beasts are you, and how are you worthy of speaking the same words and using the same body as my human race?"

Yu Lingxiao laughed wantonly: "Even if it's in an illusion, my human race still treats you as food!"

"Even if you become ghosts, you are still the rations of the ghosts of my human race... cackle cackle cackle!"

A surge of innate ferocity suddenly rose in Yu Lingxiao's heart. He backhanded the Heavenly Mansion Tianfu Tianfu Zhenfu into a golden-armored heavenly soldier, slaughtering the entire squad of Shar-Pei dog-men blocking his path.

The golden-armored heavenly soldier learned without a teacher, suddenly using the tribulation fire to refine the souls of the dog people, transforming them into dog ghosts.

The tribulation fire, which originally carried a trace of heavenly punishment lightning aura, suddenly transformed into pure black demonic fire, burning wantonly in the Quanfang Kingdom.

Countless dog people had their souls extracted. The dog princess just stared blankly at Yu Lingxiao, suddenly shedding tears: "How can your human race be so cruel? My Quanfang Kingdom is so innocent, never having had any evil thoughts toward you. Why are you so brutal and terrifying, without half a bit of humanity?"

"Heh heh! The external path wants to confuse my nature. Do you know that the Taiyi Demon Ancestor planted seven evil turbid roots in the souls of my human race, transforming them into seven souls? We simply don't have the ability to empathize with you at all."

The heavenly soldier transformed by the Tianfu Tianfu Zhenfu suddenly opened his mouth and whispered: "The more humanity the fake humans have, the more they must be slaughtered!"

"The Heavenly Emperor wants to replace humans with demons, wanting to make demons have more humanity than humans, attempting to assimilate us. Heh heh, a heart of compassion, a heart of empathy, isn't it just a knife."

"The Taiyi Demon Ancestor has an order: Ten Thousand Demons become humans, my human race becomes demons, slaughter all living beings, cleanse the world, infect everything with demons, destroy everything... kill kill kill kill!"

"First deposit humanity, transform into demon lords, and kill all of you demons who have humanity. We will find it back later! That is called humanity. Otherwise, wouldn't humanity be polluted by you demons and become the nature of demon people?"

The heavenly soldier grew twenty-four arms behind his back, suddenly sacrificing many vicious magic methods, turning the Quanfang Kingdom into hell.

In the palace, a loud shout suddenly rang out: "Quickly beat him back to the Yu Yu Jiuyou!"

Yu Lingxiao saw countless talismans in the sky transform into a large array. Suddenly, his eyes went black, and he returned to that dark green stone wall tunnel.

Yu Lingxiao's seven souls converged their evil roots, and the various viciousness in his heart suddenly dissipated. But recalling those running and wailing dog people, he still didn't have a trace of sympathy, just thinking solemnly: "True or false?"

"But the Taiyi opened the New Heaven, the long river of time was cut off, and all existences cannot return to before the more distant time! So it is impossible for me to return to the past!"

"That scene was so real, even..."

Yu Lingxiao sacrificed the golden-armored heavenly soldier and found that there was an extra nine-headed mastiff beside him, which could be let out to bite people. But no matter how he urged the heavenly soldier, there was no longer a trace of human reaction.

"Even the refined dog ghosts were brought back!"

"Could it be that the world we are in is a huge lie? The so-called Three Realms are just another Yu Yu Jiuyou, and the Ten Thousand Demon Divine Court is still outside the Three Realms?" Yu Lingxiao was shocked and terrified in his heart: "Could it be that we are in the Yu Yu Jiuyou now, and that is the Heavenly Realm?"

"I can't tell, I really can't tell!"

Yu Lingxiao was terrified...
