Lao Dao's thoughts at this time were extremely clear. His body's flesh and blood had been completely plump, and his black hair was fluttering, as if he had returned to his prime.
"Supreme calamities can only be caused by the laws of heaven."
He answered Yan Yan aloud: "The difference is that the supreme calamity will bring this world back to balance due to the laws of heaven, and it will also be unable to control and protect this world due to the laws of heaven."
Yan Yan heard the clues and said in shock: "Senior, is this unparalleled calamity because the laws of heaven cannot control and protect this world?"
The old Taoist shook [5200 www.bqg5200.me] his head.
He didn't deny it, but sighed.
It sounded like he was sighing, "I am not mature enough to judge everything. Everyone has their own judgment and understanding. In my understanding, there are many uncontrollable loopholes in the laws of heaven. It cannot control and
When protecting this world, we need to rely on the power of all the living creatures in this world."
"What do you mean?" Wang Li, Wan Yehe and others were all confused. These words of the old Taoist made people feel very mysterious and impossible to understand thoroughly.
"The practice of monks has always been against the will of heaven. The law of heaven does not tolerate beings that are powerful enough to compete with it. This is because it cannot tolerate the supreme law being tampered with or destroyed by beings that are equally powerful as itself. In its view,
Only a set of laws can the world continue to operate. In a sense, the laws of heaven are inherently the ultimate enemy of all monks who continue to practice. Any monk will eventually perish in this world, which is equivalent to death.
Within the laws of heaven. However, at the same time, all things in this world have been protected by the laws of heaven since their existence." The old Taoist elaborated on his understanding, and his voice clearly reached everyone's ears.
: "There are countless variables in the vast starry sky. It is precisely because of the existence of the laws of heaven that we can withstand countless variables that can destroy our world. Without the existence of the powerful laws of heaven, this world would not have existed until now.
I’m afraid it has been destroyed countless times.”
Yan Yan understood somewhat, "Senior, according to what you said, the laws of heaven are like shackles that imprison this world. It purely uses its own will to determine all the operations of the world, but at the same time, it is also the barrier of this world.
Also prevent our world from being destroyed in the star field and the planes devouring each other?"
"The heaven and earth are mysterious, the universe is infinite, and the knowledge of any great power is limited. In my opinion, that may be the case." The old Taoist continued: "In the world under its jurisdiction, there will also be forces that can compete with it.
There will also be powerful men second only to it. From ancient times to the present, there have been real great emperors. When there is a problem with the law of heaven itself and it cannot stop the crisis that destroys this world, it will make all living beings in the world and
Strong men, come and help withstand such a crisis."
Wang Li grimaced and said: "Senior, doesn't that mean that it can be blocked if it can be blocked? If it can't be blocked, it will be like the magic shield being penetrated, and it will simply let the power fall into this world, allowing
All the living beings in this world are shouldering it together, and for all living beings, isn’t this an unparalleled calamity that will lead to the destruction of countless living beings?”
"Not entirely, but it can be said that." The old Taoist watched Wang Li perform the Ming Coffin Mudra without stopping. At the same time, he continued: "It is above all living beings. Everything it does is naturally avoided.
If it completely collapses, it will make a judgment in advance. If it feels that some crisis may pose a fatal threat to it, it will not wait until it is unable to resist before entering this world. At the same time, this infinite calamity has caused countless calamities.
The return of vitality to heaven and earth is also an opportunity for it to rebuild its power and laws."
"You mean if you feel that you can't stop it, let the creatures between heaven and earth first eliminate the power and dilute it first?" Wang Li was helpless.
The old Taoist nodded, "Heaven is ruthless. Its ruthlessness is only for the creatures in this world, not this world. As for the laws of heaven, the supreme law only guarantees the survival of this world. As for the creatures in this world,
….As long as heaven and earth exist, nature will multiply.”
Everyone was speechless.
According to Lao Dao's analysis, everyone feels that the ruthlessness of the laws of heaven has its ruthless truth.
But the key point is that each of their monks is not willing to become a victim of calamity.
"Senior, what was the external crisis that caused this supreme calamity?" Yan Yan's voice sounded again.
From her trip to Hidden Mountain to now, she felt that the world she knew was constantly being overturned. At this time, she regarded the conversation with this veteran as a rare opportunity.
If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening.
In her opinion, even if she died in this catastrophe, it would be good to know more things before she died.
"The realm is not enough...it is unknowable...it cannot be determined..." Countless divine radiances flashed instantly in the eyes of the old Taoist, as if countless magic circles were arising and dying. Yan Yan's question seemed to make him think again
He used many secret techniques and tried his best to deduce, but he still shook his head and said: "In the vast universe, there are countless crises, there are pure power explosions, and there are also many wills as powerful as the laws of heaven.
Just like wild beasts waiting for an opportunity to devour a world. The mutual devouring of planes often comes from our world being detected by this will. According to my deduction, there are strong people constantly challenging the authority of the laws of heaven. Over countless years, the laws of heaven itself have become
There is collapse... plus there are strong people who, for unknown reasons, deliberately expose the energy of our world, it will naturally cause many unpredictable disasters."
"Is there some great power who deliberately wants to cause calamity?" Wan Yehe wailed: "Why exactly? Isn't it good to live well? I have to commit suicide like this."
The old Taoist shook his head: "All kinds of people have all kinds of ideas. Maybe they want to challenge the way of heaven and replace it. Maybe they want to give the way of heaven a chance to reorganize...and there are many variables that cannot be controlled by one person."
"Senior, do you know who is related to this outbreak of beast tide?" He Lingxiu asked aloud.
At this time, she thought about the assassination of Jiang Xueli, the daughter of the Holy Lord Black Sky. She thought that there might be a certain connection between the conspiracy and the conspiracy.
The old Taoist shook his head, "I was too damaged. I just felt that the calamity was a flashback. I can't deduce the past."
"Then who are you, senior?" Yan Yan couldn't help but ask: "With your level of cultivation, it is impossible for you to be unknown. Why are you suffering such heavy losses and living here?"
"I don't know...I don't remember." When asked by Yan Yan, a confused look appeared in the eyes of this veteran.
Then, he gave up thinking and sighed, "The time has been too long, it must have been thousands of years. It seems that the last time I was close to the supreme calamity, I was damaged in the war, so the energy of the calamity will make me
recovery."
"Thousands of years? The last time we were close to the supreme calamity?" Wang Li's eyes almost popped out of his head.
Does this mean that this veteran has lived for at least several thousand years?
Wan Yehe and others were also completely speechless. They could no longer be called old-timers, but truly immortal.
"Why I stay here, I don't know now, but it must make sense...perhaps it comes from my deduction when I was slightly awake." The veteran Taoist sighed, "At least now it seems that I have encountered the laws of the Emperor's Dao that can be borrowed here.
"
"Senior, according to your opinion, in addition to the recorded calamities, there are also calamity crises that have been resolved in the world of cultivation." Yan Yan can become a quasi-Dao disciple of the Jiaxi Holy Sect, so naturally she is not easily discouraged.
She looked at the old Taoist and said, "According to the records I have seen, the supreme calamity has not occurred within thousands of years. The last calamity should have been resolved by the joint efforts of you and the monks at that time."
Already?"
"Yes..." The old Taoist's memory seemed to be incomplete. He pondered, and it seemed that many fragmented pictures finally appeared in his mind, and there was some madness in his eyes. "Countless monks died, and those of mine
My classmates and friends are all dead..."
"ah!"
"kill!"
In the next moment, this veteran seemed to be dominated by this fragmented and sad past. He once again fell into a crazy situation, and his murderous intention surged like never before.
He waved his hands crazily in front of him, like a madman dancing wildly. However, countless waves were set off in front of him, a terrifying amount of vitality was drawn out of the void, and each of the different aspects of the avenue was evolved into reality.
Huge Tao towers, glorious beasts, stars like the rising sun, sword energy like thousands of silver rivers... Dozens of different Taoist phases are like dozens of giant mountains, pressing directly into them with crazy killing intent.
In that space rift.
boom!
These murderous intentions penetrated into the densely packed underworld coffins, and those underworld coffins exploded completely, turning into the original principles of vitality, like countless crisscrossing lightsabers erupting.
Whoosh!
The void seemed to be completely annihilated. Dozens of Saint-Destroying Insects disappeared directly. Even the power that erupted when they were defeated was completely wiped out.
"senior!"
Yan Yan was afraid that this old Taoist would completely annihilate his mind like a demon, so she cried out repeatedly, "If there is a different kind of thunder catastrophe, is it possible to stop these Saint-Destroying Insects? If we can stop the invasion of Saint-Destroying Insects, what will be the consequences?"
Will there be a more terrifying backlash, or can we delay the arrival of the supreme calamity?"
Wang Li rolled his eyes crazily.
This is obviously an idea to use his golden elixir to overcome the tribulation.
Although he knows Yan Yan very well and knows that Yan Yan means that if there is really no way, he will perish here. If it is useful to cause a catastrophe, he will naturally use a different kind of thunder tribulation to fight, but he always feels that this is not equivalent to
Working for the Three Saints?
"Alien thunder catastrophe... If we can restrain these holy-killing insects, we may be able to perish together." The old Taoist became more sober, "Now that the supreme calamity has begun, it means that our world has been exposed to a certain terrifying will.
In our sight, even if we kill all the saint-killing insects targeting us, calamities will continue to come. In the past, the end of the supreme calamities was often accompanied by the appearance of monks at or close to the emperor level... Before the calamities
To become a true great emperor and resolve great calamities, or to destroy calamity at the cost of the death of a great emperor or quasi-emperor level figure."
Wang Li rolled his eyes even more vigorously.
When it comes to becoming a great emperor, the current Three Saints certainly have the best chance of becoming a great emperor.
Will you use your own sacrifice to help someone among the Three Saints become the Great Emperor?
He has no such awareness at all.
The old Taoist seemed to have sensed Wang Li's thoughts, and he said: "If you want to live, you can only fight...Only by overcoming the disasters you face can you become a truly strong man and become a great emperor. You have achieved Yuandao incarnation,
Also, when engraving the rules of the imperial way, there is no point in thinking about the past and the future. The only way is to survive through continuous calamities and fight out the imperial path."
Wang Li immediately stopped rolling his eyes, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Senior, do you mean to tell me that I am talented and have a chance to become a great emperor?"
"Your talent is indeed extraordinary, unique among ten thousand." The old Taoist said: "Among ten thousand monks like you, maybe one can become a great emperor."
Hearing the first half of Lao Dao's sentence, Wang Li almost salivated, but when he heard the second half of Lao Dao's sentence, Wang Li almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Everyone's expressions became strange.
Although the line between life and death is extremely dangerous at this time, and Wang Li and this old Taoist are fighting against the Saint-Destroying Insect. They cannot even kill a Saint-Destroying Insect, but the old Taoist's words and Wang Li's face at this time are still...
It makes them feel like they can't help but laugh.
"Senior, why do we have to fight?" Wang Li said depressedly, "Can't we escape if we can't defeat you?"
"This is the law of space... Now that it has discovered my existence, no matter where it escapes, the Holy Killing Insect will definitely appear." The old Taoist shook his head.
Wang Li suddenly became shameless, "Then, with the methods of seniors, you can escape to the current Three Saints Sect. The Three Saints are powerful, and they will definitely be able to help seniors kill these saint-killing insects. Seniors, please run away quickly, since seniors will kill them wherever they are.
Wherever the holy insects go, senior, you don’t have to worry about us."
The veteran Taoist seemed to feel that Wang Li was completely different from the young and talented monks he had met before. He turned to look at Wang Li and said, "You don't understand that killing holy insects represents the law of plane erosion.
, it is not just for me... This kind of law is aimed at all the saints in this world. I don't know who the three saints you are talking about are... but if their cultivation reaches such a state, they will all be robbed at the same time.
"
Wang Li, Yan Yan and others were all shocked, "Senior, what do you mean, now all the saint-level figures in our world will be attacked by the saint-killing insects?"
"That's right." The old Taoist nodded, "This is like the supreme law created by the conflict between planes. The holy-killing insects wandering on the edge of the plane naturally pursue the Qi of every Mahayana monk. All saint-level figures
, will all encounter such disaster at the same time.”
Wang Li suddenly became a little happy.
This rule is good.
Treat everyone equally, and no one should just look at others' efforts.
But he still refused to give up and said cautiously: "Senior, if there are more Holy Lords to deal with the Killing Holy Insect together, wouldn't it be like having multiple caregivers? It is better for two Holy Lords to deal with the Killing Holy Insect together than one Holy Lord dealing with the Killing Holy Insect.
"
"Not necessarily." The veteran shook his head, "I have tried my best to make deductions, and staying here is the best choice."
"...!" Wang Li was completely helpless now.
"Senior..." Yan Yan was thirsty for knowledge. She still had countless questions to ask.
According to her understanding, in the old Taoist knowledge, there are many such worlds in the vast universe. Each world has its own will and laws. All worlds maintain absolute vigilance, and even think about it.
Let yourself hide in the stars and not reveal your own energy and plane markers.
But if due to some accident, this side of the world is exposed to the sight of some aggressive and terrifying will, it would be equivalent to a collision between the supreme laws, and the mutual erosion of one side of the world and the other.
Killing holy insects is the product of the invasion of the Supreme Law. It seems that the hostile Supreme Law will naturally want to wipe out the strongest living beings in this world at the first time.
After killing the holy insect, will there be any more severe disaster for the strongest creature in this world? However, she had just spoken, and the terrifying power was already vibrating in the void crack again.
The entire Baekdu Mountain boundary seemed to be shaking.
Whoosh!
A terrifying energy directly defeated all the red thin threads of real fire that filled the rift in the space. The seventy-two half-burned incense sticks burned violently in an instant and turned into ashes.
"kill!"
This old man went crazy in an instant, and his murderous intent expanded like a real tide.
He took a step forward and held the root with both hands.
Countless Dao lines suddenly burst out from the top of the wooden stick.
Each line is like a black ocean pulled out from the void.
Countless black sea areas seemed to be superimposed in an instant, sealing the rift in space.
boom!
The nine Saint-killing Insects revealed their true forms at the same time.
The textures on their bodies also appear around them like chaotic lines. These seemingly unreal lines are intertwined together. The power bursting out from their bodies is like forming a giant blade of a god king, moving towards the old Taoist and
Wang Li and others came to kill them.
"They can actually fight in formation?"
Wang Li was horrified. The attacks of these holy insect-killing insects were sensed in advance by the old Taoist, and their power was completely blocked by his extremely evolved defensive patterns. However, a unique power of space law still made it almost impossible for him to move.
At this moment, he was just like the monk at the eighth level of Nascent Soul who was killed by Mu Qingdan when he met outside Jiuxiang Bridge that day. He seemed to be repelled by the surrounding space and imprisoned in a void.
Whoosh!
But at this moment, the silent purple oil lamp in the sea of Qi above him suddenly vibrated.
A ray of purple flame emerged from his heavenly spirit, instantly freeing his body from the confinement of this space law.
"The Arcana of Chaos!"
The old Taoist's body shook, and he even let out a voice of surprise, "You actually have such a Yakuza weapon!"
"Senior, can you borrow the power of my magic weapon?" Wang Li's scalp was completely numb at this time. He saw countless Saint-killing Insects pouring out of the black abyss in the space crack.
The holy insects are densely packed, like a torrent.
He shouted in shock, "Senior, although I have such a magic weapon, I don't have the ability to use it now. I don't even know how to use this magic weapon."
When his voice sounded, he felt that Lao Dao's Qi had merged with part of his true energy.
Whoosh!
Before he could react, a purple crack appeared in the void. The purple flame above his head had turned into a wisp of purple divine light, which appeared directly in the crack in space and killed all nine Saint-killing Insects.
.
The bodies of the nine Saint-killing Insects were directly pierced by this ray of purple divine light, and unlike when they were killed before, the power in their bodies did not burst out at the moment their bodies were pierced, and the vitality laws of their entire bodies seemed to be instantaneous.
It was burned, disintegrated, and directly turned into ashes in the collapse.
"senior!"
At the same time, Yan Yan and others all exclaimed.
The old Dao's right hand was pointed like a sword, pointing at the gap in the space. However, at the same time, the index finger and middle finger of his right hand withered instantly, and the flesh and blood turned into charred ashes, revealing the dense white bones.
"It doesn't matter."
The old Taoist voice sounded, "With your permission, I can borrow the power of your ultimate weapon, but it does not recognize me as its master, and I will still be affected by some of the power's backlash."
The moment his voice sounded, the flesh and blood on his two fingers quickly regenerated.
"I didn't expect that you not only possess the laws of the emperor, but are also blessed with the ultimate weapon that can become an emperor's weapon in the future." The old Taoist sighed: "It seems that I underestimated you before. If you can continue to live,
There is a chance to achieve the imperial path."
Wang Li was speechless, "Senior, do your words stabilize me? If I can live forever, I will be able to drag out an emperor."
Everyone heard what he meant.
Even if you live forever, you still have a chance to achieve the imperial path. Isn't this nonsense?
Yan Yan's heart tightened. She felt that Wang Li's words were an offense to this veteran.
However, the old man didn't seem to think so.
"The long years...the vicissitudes of life...I have truly reached my twilight years. I am so old that I have even forgotten my own name and why I am here. But I never thought...that I would meet someone here who has the opportunity to become a great emperor."
The old man stood up straight, his murderous intention restraining, but the endless fighting spirit seemed to be condensing in his body, just like forming a new skeleton in his body, making his body no longer rickety.
"Is this the possibility that I deduced...the meaning of my staying here...to use my last strength to prevent a monk who has a chance to achieve the imperial path from falling into the calamity process so quickly?"
"Only the birth of a true emperor can resolve this unparalleled calamity."
This veteran was extremely emotional, and his words were shocking.
But Wang Li shouted without tears, "Senior, don't sigh! The Saint-killing Insect is about to rush out."
Indeed, at this time, the torrent of holy-killing insects had already approached the rift in space.
At the moment Wang Li screamed, several holy-killing insects had even torn apart the last Dao pattern defense, and their heads had already drilled space cracks.
A space atmosphere that cannot be described in words fills the entire Taoist temple.
This is a law of vitality that is completely beyond their current realm. Wang Li felt that the vitality in his body naturally began to dissipate and began to evaporate and disappear.
"Fight with me!"
The old Taoist didn't have any fear, he was burning with fighting spirit, and with a sharp shout, Wang Li had just made a big handprint of the underworld coffin, and he only felt the purple oil lamp in his body violently blooming with divine brilliance.
Whoosh!
That crack in space seemed to be torn apart again.
A purple divine light swept inward for an unknown number of miles in an instant.
Puff puff puff...
These purple divine radiances are surrounded by countless underworld coffins, which exude an incomparable aura that instantly pierces the entire river of killing holy insects and burns through it from the middle.
"ah!"
But Wan Yehe and others also screamed in horror.
The old Taoist's body was also wrapped in purple divine radiance.
All the flesh and blood on his body were completely withered and turned into ashes.
In an instant, all that was left of this veteran was a snow-white skeleton.
This skeleton is like white divine iron, but there are black Dao lines rippling around each bone.
(Today's challenge is even more unsuccessful...it's still far short of 10,000 words. I'm thinking about whether I can really succeed in the challenge if I really swear a poisonous oath while standing upside down tomorrow?)
