; That is a very long time ago story, so long that even the memory I inherited can hardly recall those years. I wonder if you have heard of the ancient bloody dawn era?
"The bloody dawn era of ancient conquests named after the "Seven Killing Emperors"?" Ling Chen nodded. Even though the bloody dawn has been sunk in the history of the underworld for endless years, it is still a household name and has been spread among all the families and sects in the underworld.
In...Except for those otherworldly ascetics in Buddhism, there must be no monks in the dark world who don't know about the ancient Bloody Dawn era.
In some large cities, ordinary people are spreading the story of "Seven Killings of the Great Emperor" and the Bloody Dawn.
"Sit down, it seems that you still understand part of the history, so I will tell you a simple story." The old man with a stick greeted Ling Chen with his words of vicissitudes of life.
Ling Chen was speechless and still stood straight on the spot, his body tense.
; Legend has it that during the ancient bloody dawn era, the Pangu tribe invited hundreds of tribes from outside the region to join in the crusade against the human world. It was the end of the black world, and those years were ferocious and painful...
First, he was the top powerhouse in the black world, killing the Pangu clan with blood for two hundred years. The "blood rain" created the body of the strongest fighting spirit. Then he fell under the terrifying catastrophe of ascending to the fairy world. Losing this top powerhouse suppressed the Pangu clan, and he was furious.
The Pangu tribe led hundreds of tribes in a shocking attack. The battle lasted for endless years. It was the most brutal apocalyptic battle after the Bloody Dawn.
In that unprecedented battle, where the sky was dark and the earth was dark, an ancient "Rune Palace" inscribed with golden runes fell from the sky, and countless red flames exploded in the area. A group of "unparalleled figures" walked out of it with an overwhelming momentum.
", their bodies are about dozens of times larger than ours, and they wear hideous but yet powerful black armor. Of course, they are also of pure human blood.
But they are contradictory and powerful guards who call themselves the "Temple Guards". Their sudden arrival is not accidental, but they escort a group of prisoners of war to the dark world.
The "Temple Guards" who descended from the sky and several of our top experts in the dark world at that time worked together to create what would become the Temple of Destruction, suppressing those bloodthirsty and terrifying prisoners of war forever.
"Then why didn't we kill those horrible prisoners of war and suppress them forever? There are also rumors that the Seven Kills Emperor was not killed by the powerful forces of the Pangu tribe? How did he fall under the "heavenly tribulation" of ascending to the immortal world?" In order to prove that he had heard
Having to concentrate, Ling Chen couldn't help but pick out two subtle flaws in the old man's words and asked questions.
"Haha! They can't be killed, otherwise they wouldn't let the ancestors who were in the apocalyptic battle come back to seal them. There is also the Seven Killing Emperor who has no one to match him in the black world at that time. The only one who can compete with them is
The only thing that suppresses and restrains him is 'Heaven'."
"They are a group of demons... No! Dozens of times more terrifying than demons..." Gradually, the old man's face suddenly became distorted, as if he was recalling that painful and ancient memory.
Ling Chen looked down at the old man in silence. If the old man threatened him to listen to his story before, then Ling Chen's curiosity was really aroused by the old man's words now.
…
The old man raised his head and glanced at Ling Chen. In the dark eyes, Ling Chen seemed to see the sharp eyes of a ghost wolf. Finally, the old man continued to preach; the mission of the temple guards who descended from the sky was to defend the peace of the underworld, so
An agreement was easily reached with the ancestors who were in the midst of a fierce and bloody battle at that time.
The prisoners brought by the "guards" were suppressed separately and sealed in the most secret places in the five realms of the black world. As soon as the seal was completed, the temple guards joined forces with the top experts in the human world to resist the foreign enemies. That war was too cruel.
Well, many guards died in the Bloody Dawn era, but there were also a small number of guards
, survived those turbulent years and survived tenaciously. They live in the "Temple of Destruction" forever. They closely monitor the prisoners scattered in remote areas of various holy realms, because they are too powerful to escape.
One of them will cause an uproar and turn the dark world into a place of eternal destruction.
I don't know how much time passed like this, but my memory suddenly had gaps. I could only remember one after another that the guards seemed to have gathered together to fight against something...
The opponent was very powerful, and that battle blasted through the world——
As for the outcome of the battle and the subsequent memories, it only records that all the temple guards suddenly disappeared, and there was no news from them anymore. And the remaining strong men in the Black World from the Bloody Dawn also disappeared, as if they had evaporated in the entire Black World.
Generally speaking, only a few "severely injured" strong men are left to guard the destroyed temple. The memory of the guards is constantly passed down, until in our generation, there are almost no guards left.
The old man's groggy and decaying words were so contagious that Ling Chen felt as if he was immersed in the tranquility while listening to the words in his ears.
"What? You are a temple guard? This is impossible?" Ling Chen stared at the old man who was on the verge of death and exclaimed in surprise.
"Listen, the name of the City of Dawn is the name of one of the "ancient guards". His name is Shuguang. We are not going to die soon. The deadline is approaching and new guards cannot be found. "They" under the City of Dawn
"It has been ready to move and has been in turmoil for hundreds of years." The old man said this, suddenly out of breath.
"What is down there? Why don't the guards in the city know about it?" Ling Chen frowned. Could it be that the Taiyi Sect disciples stationed here suddenly called back because something happened within the sect? Or was it because of what the old man said?
; "We cannot leave this City of Dawn for generations to come. City of Dawn. Thousands of years ago, it was forcibly occupied by large and small sects in the Black Bear Mountains, killing many of our companions who inherited the fragmented memories of the Temple Guards. That battle did not help.
There is no suspense, we were completely defeated and unable to
They competed with all the large and small sect families in the Black Bear Mountain Range, but they thought they had won. But I clearly felt that there were cracks in the cage underground in the City of Dawn, and the seal that imprisoned the devil would crack at any time." The old man said loudly
Panting, he said quickly.
Ling Chen nodded. A story is a story after all. Now Ling Chen is only thinking about how to leave this alley safely. He will not get entangled in a ridiculous story.
"At the end of my life, I must find a new temple guard as our successor. Otherwise, once the temple guard disappears, it will really be impossible... It will be impossible to summon the temple from the ancient Blood Dawn era again.
The guards were guarded, and the prisoners would eventually escape." The old man held a round copper coin-like object in his trembling hands. Although he was very close to the old man, Ling Chen could not see what it was in the dark sight.
"Boy, swear by your inner demons to become a member of the temple guards for life, summon the ancient predecessors to fight against the demons that are about to escape," the old man said to Ling Chen with an ashen face.
"This?" Ling Chen's face darkened. The other party was going too far, even asking him to swear an oath based on his inner demons. Didn't he know that once he violated the oath he swore with his inner demons, the most evil thing would most likely be born in the monk's heart?
Inner demon?
The inner demon is the biggest barrier in the heart of the monks in the black world. Many powerful men with amazing cultivation levels in the black world have been defeated by the inner demon. The average monk in the black world will not easily make any promises with his inner demon, because
The risk is too great——————————
And this old man actually made himself swear by his inner demon. Although the inner demon has been born in Ling Chen's body, he will not make any promises to increase the strength of the inner demon. Sooner or later, he will get rid of this inner demon, but he won't.
No more vows.
"Your Excellency has gone too far. For an unrealistic story, you actually asked me to swear a vicious inner demon oath. What is sealed under the City of Dawn?" Ling Chen looked embarrassed, his whole body tensed, and he felt behind his back
The magic sword is so sharp that if the old man insists on forcing himself, no matter how amazing his cultivation was when he was young, he will dare to fight to the death.
"Jiejie... Hua Lao, did you hear that? What you told is just a story, at least in the eyes of this boy, it is just a story...Jiejie..., you still expect him to swear the inner demon oath? The boy told
You, this City of Dawn is just some of "their" blood... Hahahaha|" Several other strange laughs came from deep in the surrounding debris. They seemed to be mocking the old man in front of Ling Chen, and seemed to be intimidating Ling Chen.
generally.
Ling Chen looked expressionlessly at the old man in front of him who was looking at him stubbornly.
"Boy, just promise me so that I can go with peace of mind." The old man ignored the ridicule around him, took out a ring covered with gray layer from his dirty clothes with trembling hands, and slowly looked at it in front of Ling Chen.
"You don't need to swear the inner demon oath. As long as you promise me to pass it on, it will belong to you." The old man looked at Ling Chen in a pleading tone. Although in this slightly dark alley, Ling Chen could still see clearly.
The glimmer of request in the eyes of the old man in front of him.
Ling Chen was speechless, looking at the ring that was covered with gray layers in the dark air and suddenly burst into a silvery light, Ling Chen's heart was already filled with waves.
Storage ring! It turned out to be a storage ring. From the gray surface, Ling Chen noticed a strong smell of mustard space.
As a monk who has just entered the mortal realm, Ling Chen deeply understands the value of this storage ring. The treasure of this storage ring is no less valuable than a powerful spiritual weapon in the psychic realm. In the dark
Some of the shabby psychic realm monks in the world are not worthy of owning this storage ring, which can hold a hundred times the capacity of a storage bag. Only some of the top psychic realm monks who come from famous families are qualified to own this valuable ring.
Storage ring.
This shows how valuable a storage ring is.
"Uh!..." Ling Chen muttered for a moment. Facing this genuine storage ring, he was really tempted. He thought that being forced to stay by this old man would be bad, but he didn't expect to hear this.
After the old man in front of me tells a story and verbally agrees to a condition, he can get the storage ring that countless monks in the underworld dream of. What an opportunity it is.
Excitement... joy was all buried in Ling Chen's heart. He looked at the old man with a calm expression, and the warning in his eyes was obvious. This is a storage ring that countless monks in the black world call a charm treasure. Can it be obtained so easily?
?
"Little friend, I have no other intentions. Whether you believe it or not, if it weren't for the persistence in my heart, I would have taken advantage of the chance of reincarnation. As long as you agree to this, I will use this precious storage ring.
"You." The old man holding the wooden stick stood up, and with trembling hands, he looked at the storage ring in front of Ling Chen's eyes again.
"Is it really that simple?" Ling Chen's heart was moved as he pondered. This was the evil thought in his heart. He couldn't resist it. Even if he risked his own life, there would be countless monks snatching this precious storage ring.
At this moment, this cherished storage ring is right in front of me, and I have nothing for others to covet, let alone a group of old men whose time is approaching.
Gritting his teeth, Ling Chen looked at the old man with a wooden stick, stretched out his hand and carefully took the cold, temperatureless gray ring.
"Click" Ling Chen, who had just received the storage ring, was shocked, and a stream of words slowly spewed out from the corner of his mouth unconsciously;
"The dark chaotic order, I am willing to use the rest of my life to..." After reciting a lot of mysterious and complicated words, the old man in front of him finally relaxed his gaze focused on Ling Chen's eyes.
. Trembling, he walked deeper into the alley.
Ling Chen's consciousness was shaken, and he stared blankly at the hunched figure disappearing into the darkness of the alley, and suddenly felt that there was another mysterious Luo Yin in his mind. Although Ling Chen didn't quite believe what the old man said.
, but I always feel something weird in my mind.
Where the old man left, Ling Chen was the only one left. He glanced around at the several auras that suddenly disappeared. Ling Chen looked at the storage ring between his fingers that had been swept away from the gray layer and exuded a light silver luster.
, fell into a state of trance for a while————————————————
