Things are a little worse than everyone thought.

The first to suffer were the monks who were searching for treasures in the Abyss. The few monks who were lucky enough to escape said that at that time, the center of the Abyss suddenly emitted a soaring red light, and the overwhelming dark clouds no longer hung in the sky lifelessly like before, but instead Rolling and moving outward, countless glowing fires emerged from the ground and began to float outward.

Now if you go to the border between the Four Continents and the Land of the Abyss, you will find that the strange and clear-cut landscape in the past no longer exists. The Land of the Abyss is like a giant beast, greedily devouring the spiritual energy of the surrounding land, even making the originally vibrant The forest withered in an instant, and there were broken branches and leaves everywhere.

It would be okay if it was just the Yuhuo. As long as you are careful not to touch it, you will be fine. But the problem is that it is not only the Yuhuo that comes out of the abyss. With the black clouds covering the four continents, there are also countless skeleton slaves controlled by others. They come out of the ground and constantly attack living creatures.

These skeletal demons are not strong but they can't stand there being too many. As the saying goes, the ants kill an elephant. Faced with the skeletal demons that appear one after another, everyone will feel their scalp numb. What's even more chilling is that every time someone doesn't If Shen is killed by these skeleton demons, their corpses will soon be assimilated and start attacking the people around them.

The Corpse Demon is similar to the Corpse Demon that Qin Moyu and Shen Mo encountered in He Village that day, except that the Corpse Demon is made from living people, while the Corpse Demon is made from the bones of dead creatures.

For a time, all the forces in the four continents were busy dealing with these things that could not even be called "human beings". Everyone was fighting on their own. It was okay for the big forces, but the smaller families were quickly destroyed here. During this disaster, some keen people discovered that whenever those skeletal demons completely killed the creatures in a certain place, the spiritual energy in that place would quickly dry up, as if the spiritual energy had been sucked away by something.

Qin Moyu and Shen Mo also noticed something was wrong after they came out of the inheritance place.

Because the Yanjiang River is some distance away from the abyss, the black clouds have not spread here yet, but sporadic glowing fire has drifted over, and luckily it stuck to Qin Moyu's clothes.

Qin Moyu's clothes were cut and given to him by Shen Sheng. They were made of very precious fabrics. It was the most basic thing to be invulnerable to dust, water, fire and so on. It could even resist a certain degree of attack, although it was still worse than It's not a defensive treasure, but it's still precious.

But now it is such a kind of clothes that ordinary people can't reach, and a small gap melted in an instant when it was stuck to the fire, and it tried to continue to ignite Qin Moyu's clothes as if it was stuck.

Shen Mo was the first to recognize that it was a fire, and stopped Qin Moyu's subconscious attempt to get rid of it with his hands, and then asked Qin Moyu to use the red lotus karma fire to get rid of the fire.

When Yuhuo met Honglian, Yehuo dissipated like paper as expected, but Qin Moyu was still a little surprised and confused: "Why did Yuhuo come here?"

You must know that although he has the Red Lotus Karmic Fire and is not afraid of the Yuhuo, others do not! If these things were floating everywhere in the four continents, it would be a horrific natural disaster.

"I'm afraid they couldn't bear it any longer." After Shen Mo discovered Yu Huo, he immediately scanned the area with his spiritual consciousness. He didn't know what he found, and his face became gloomy.

Qin Moyu's heart skipped a beat, and he pulled Shen Mo's sleeves and asked what happened with his eyes.

Shen Mo didn't know how to describe the scene below to Qin Moyu, so he could only say euphemistically: "It's... a little disgusting down there, Mo Yu, be mentally prepared."

Qin Moyu pursed his lips and looked down anxiously.

As Shen Mo controlled the flying sword to continue to descend, the scenery below became clearer.

Looking down from the sky, it is obvious that there is a small village below. The simple houses and reclaimed wasteland indicate that the people living here are just a group of mortals who may not be able to survive for a lifetime. However, now there is only one village left that should have been prosperous. kind of sound.

——A bone-on-bone sound, muffled and heart-shaking.

Countless bones crawled out of the ground. They belonged to humans, beasts, some were incomplete, some were complete, and there were even bones with rotting flesh and blood. They were controlled by an invisible force and moved in a certain direction. At the same time, there were countless dumpling-shaped ghosts floating in the village with a faint blue light.

The entire village was shrouded in the shadow of death, the crops they planted withered, the water in the wells dried up, and even the air was filled with a lifeless smell, without a trace of aura, let alone the breath of living things.

For the first time, Qin Moyu saw dark red shrunken muscles hanging on the yellowed skull, walking like a skinned person. It was a terrifying scene that he had only seen in movies and TV novels in his previous life. Even if he waved his hand, He was able to disperse the large skeletal beasts below. They were no deterrent to him, but the nausea still made his face turn pale instantly and his stomach turned upside down.

In his previous life, Qin Moyu would even feel disgusted and scared by zombies that he knew were created by special effects and makeup, let alone such a 4D picture with direct sounds, colors, and shadows.

Shen Mo knew that if they could see this kind of scene on their way back, it would mean that it would be worse elsewhere. Qin Moyu would see this kind of scene sooner or later, so he didn't stop it, but he still paid attention to Qin Moyu's reaction.

After realizing something was wrong with Qin Moyu's expression, he immediately pulled up the flying sword and stayed away from the scalp-numbing sound and terrifying scene.

"Huh..." Qin Moyu squeezed Shen Mo's hand and took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress the nausea. When Shen Mo comforted himself, he couldn't help but hugged Shen Mo.

The close physical contact and Shen Mo's familiar embrace quickly calmed Qin Moyu down. He couldn't help but rub his head in Shen Mo's arms, like a coquettish cat.

After Qin Moyu completely calmed down and stood up, he asked:

"What on earth do they want to do? What's going on with these...things and the Yuhuo? Doesn't the Yuhuo only appear in the land of the abyss?"

"Do you still remember the formation we discovered in the Abyss?" Shen Mo touched Qin Moyu's hair, a flash of disgust flashed in his eyes when he thought of Tiandao and Fen Qi, "I secretly visited that formation after the Four Continents War. I found that it is very similar to the formation in the extreme cold land. They both absorb the flesh, blood and spiritual energy of the living creatures in the formation. However, the formation in the extreme cold land absorbs those great masters who have voluntarily died in the tribulation period. The body of the abyss is to absorb the flesh and blood of the creatures killed in the Four Continents War... As for what to do... Hehe, except for transformation, I can't think of anyone who needs such a huge amount of spiritual energy."

Shen Mo sneered. When Tiandao created the "protagonist", in addition to cultivating capable manpower, the most important thing was to encounter a series of murders on the way to the "protagonist's" growth. The more lives that died, the more excited Tiandao became, because he could learn from the dead. The living beings absorb spiritual energy to help themselves transform.

The reason why the demon clan has always been inferior to humans is because the more powerful the demon clan, the more spiritual energy it consumes when it is born and transformed. The extremely powerful demon clan such as dragon and phoenix are also gradually extinct because it is too difficult for them to be transformed. , with the current level of spiritual energy, even gathering the spiritual energy of a continent may not be enough for them to transform into a dragon.

Even if the dragon and phoenix are like this, as the incarnation of the world, the spiritual energy required by Tiandao to cultivate into human form has increased several times.

Shen Mo even suspected that without the flesh and blood aura absorbed from the Four Continents War, the current Tiandao might not even have a human form, instead of just the facial features remaining untransformed.

Therefore, Shen Mo later pretended that he wanted to unify the four continents and launch a war, which was in the interests of Heaven. That's why Heaven asked Zhou Donghan to surrender and cooperate, and gave Shen Mo a chance to breathe.

"I think maybe this radiant fire is like the red lotus karma fire, a special spiritual energy that appears because of the formation." Shen Mo found Jiang Hua's notebook about the formation in extremely cold places from the storage bag, and another He showed the formation thumbnails drawn on the two manuscripts to Qin Moyu, "Look, the two formations are very similar, but they are completely different in key places. Fen Qi must be Senior Jiang's formation was changed and arranged, but he only imitated the surface, and did not learn the real core things, so he could only control the place in the abyss."

Qin Moyu looked at the two formations in front of him that were almost exactly the same. They were so complex that he saw them as mosquito-repellent eye formations. He almost had the feeling of dreaming back to when he was studying liberal arts in high school and faced the chemical formulas on the blackboard in chemistry class.

Qin Moyu: I can’t understand it, but I was shocked.

Shen Mo seemed to be a different person when he talked about what he was good at. He was very lively and very verbose. He was just like the kind of man you saw in a comment post in his previous life: "On a blind date, you met a man who talked to you about the working principles of science and engineering." When he came to reality, he was talking about principles that Qin Moyu didn't understand. He thought he was a peacock with its wings spread out, but in fact, people only noticed that he still seemed to have yesterday's vegetable leaves between his teeth.

Of course, it was impossible for Shen Mo, who was deeply influenced by royal etiquette, to have vegetable leaves between his teeth, but he did have the flavor of a peacock, and he couldn't stop being excited when he mentioned what he was good at in front of his sweetheart.

Qin Moyu's ears automatically filtered out the obscure knowledge that would be a treasure to anyone who knew a little about the formation, and transformed the remaining key information into sentences he could understand.

For example, why the Red Lotus Karmic Fire can overcome the Yu Fire - because the formation in the Land of the Abyss is a knockoff, so the red lotus that comes with the authentic formation can crush the Yu Fire that comes with the fake formation.

For example, why are the fires floating randomly now? It's because someone controls the formation of the abyss to expand outward. As long as the fire appears, it means that this place has actually been occupied by the formation.

For example, why do skeleton demons and dead souls appear? Because the formation in the abyss not only absorbs the spiritual energy in the formation, but also uses special techniques to create these skeleton demons and dead souls.

"...This method of controlling skeletons and dead souls is not common, but it is not unused by anyone. Onizuka we met before specializes in this kind of side technique." Shen Mo said.

Now the only person on Tiandao who can control the formations of the Abyss and bring out these dead souls is Fen Qi, because Zhou Donghan doesn't know the formations at all.

Qin Moyu was not surprised that Fen Qi would use Onizuka Kung Fu, because Shen Yu had mentioned before that Onizuka and the Fen family were very close, and the people in Onizhong were so arrogant because of the Fen family's backing.

There were still some doubts in his mind.

"Heaven needs flesh and blood spiritual energy to transform, but it doesn't have to be this formation, right? After all, he is also the incarnation of heaven. As long as the flesh and blood spiritual energy returns to heaven and earth after death, can't it automatically absorb it? With such a big move, you don't have to worry about someone destroying it. ?"

Regarding Qin Moyu's question, Shen Mo slowly said:

"Because he not only wants to transform, but also wants to directly use the formation to refine the entire world."

Although the transformation of Tiandao requires a lot of spiritual energy, as long as he can calm down and gather his energy slowly, he will not die anyway and will be able to transform one day sooner or later. Even Shen Mo can't do anything to him.

In addition to accelerating the speed of his transformation, the most important thing is that when the formation spreads, he will also use the formation to "refining" the world and absorb the aura and vitality of the entire world.

Yes, in Heaven's plan, the entire world is His stepping stone.

He said.

——This world does not need any living beings, as long as it has me, it is enough.
