Volume 9: Star Cave Chapter 84: Holy Land
Lu Bai's disguise was quite successful. No one would care about the life or death of such an ordinary demon.
A large number of ordinary demons were randomly sent to a camp and then arranged to be teleported to the human world.
The human world here has actually long been part of the abyss, so space teleportation is very convenient.
Even a small devil in the human world can open the passage to the abyss with just a summon.
If there is a higher-level demon in charge, he can directly open the gate and teleport the army over.
Lu Bai mixed in with the group of demons and soon reached the human world through the teleportation gate.
At this time, Lu Baiyi could already sense the chaos in the world when he arrived.
The sky is filled with colorful lights, and in the distance there is a ball of white light that seems to pierce through all the darkness.
At the same time, the roars of various ferocious beasts could be heard one after another.
"Criticality, beast herd, is that ball of white light the end of the world or the sanctuary?" Lu Bai immediately analyzed the real dimensions represented by those phenomena.
This small abyss before our eyes is truly filled with disasters.
Having provoked so many tough guys, it’s no wonder that the devil got away.
Criticality is the old rival of the Abyss, and the Beast Herd is an unexpected gain.
Lu Bai roughly analyzed the ball of white light and found that it was somewhat different from those immortals in Tianya. It should be the holy land.
If the Abyss and Criticality are old rivals, then the Sanctuary is the mortal enemy that both have to deal with.
Because the sanctuary exploits people’s “hearts”.
The Sanctuary is the true dimension of the heart, which is so similar to mythology that it may sometimes be confused with it.
Because many times, the holy land also reflects faith.
Lu Bai didn't know much about the Holy Land, but if nothing unexpected happened, he had some connection with the Holy Land.
"After all, if things go as expected, Buddha is most likely an element that appeared in the world under the influence of the Holy Land."
"Even most of the world's religions actually have some connection with the Holy Land."
The Sanctuary has a series of abilities to interfere with the mind. In the process of this interference, desires and inspirations will be restricted, so it is a mortal enemy of the Abyss and the Criticality.
Although mythology is often accompanied by religion, the focus of mythology lies in the mythological cosmology. Although faith is one of the main sources of power, it does not mean that without faith, mythology is nothing.
The sanctuary is different. It doesn't care about any cosmology, or even random myths and legends. Its focus is on the rules and regulations of religion, and the restrictions and exploitation of the soul and mind.
"Precepts and rules are the key."
These are all the information Lu Bai has about the real dimension of the Holy Land.
The sanctuary itself is a lifeless body. Only the Holy Spirit, which is mainly based on the mind, reflects on the outside and various images appear. Therefore, its appearance is very varied and it is called the messenger of the sanctuary.
At the same time, different people may see the same Holy Land Messenger in completely different appearances.
Therefore, everyone has different opinions about the specific powers and abilities of the Holy Spirit of the Holy Land.
And perhaps because they are extremely good at brainwashing, most lives will have a strong desire to go to the Holy Land when they die.
This kind of thought can allow them to complete the self-detachment, that is, their minds are captured by the sanctuary, leaving only a small empty shell of the soul to be swallowed up by the underworld.
This also leads to the fact that information about the Holy Land is very scarce in the Netherworld's database.
The few pieces of information were obtained only due to the collision between the Netherworld and the Sanctuary for various reasons.
Judging from the current situation alone, the Sanctuary is also a guy that is not easy to mess with.
Lu Bai was mixed in with the demons. Before he could continue observing, a demon started roaring in the sky.
Then, waves of halo power fell on him.
Bloodthirstiness, painlessness, surge of killing intent, reckless attack, and anger...
These enhanced abilities almost transformed Lu Bai into a monster who only knew how to fight and kill.
Many of these abilities even act on the soul.
The soul's consciousness was very calm, but the soul and body were very agitated during this process, and this agitation also affected Lu Bai's consciousness through the connection.
Beyond the conscious level, a large number of demons around also accompanied Lu Bai to the battle line.
A large number of unconscious demons, carrying Lu Bai, rushed forward.
Their opponents are a group of creatures with stone skin and various halos on their bodies, similar to stone men.
These stone men are the native inhabitants of the human world.
But the halos on them definitely do not belong to the local area.
The power inside is exactly the same as the holy land that Lu Bai had sensed before.
The two sides had not yet engaged in battle and the two groups were still a long distance apart, but the chaotic aura of the demon group had already enveloped everything like a halo.
The halos on the stone men also coiled around and emitted light.
Although their eyes were open, their gaze was only focused on the weapons in their hands.
One of the stone tentacles that sense sound and vibration was cut off artificially, and its surface was covered with various symbols.
There are vows written on it, all of which are promises made to the Stone Heart Church when it was founded.
First discipline the body, then discipline the mind.
Things in the external world will only pollute their body and mind. Only by gradually breaking away from the illusory world of the outside world through various means can they form a heart of stone in their hearts.
In order to escape the damage done to their world by the abyss, they must transform their polluted outer selves in this way.
This is the truth spoken by the Pope of the Church, the natural Holy Spirit who reveals the deception of the abyss - Dongshan Stone.
In order to practice this truth, there are various vows:
The first vow: Do not look far away.
The second vow: You must not listen to everything.
The third vow: One must be righteous.
The halos on these stone men are the great power that they possess after following the oath and entering the holy realm in spirit.
Of course, just three oaths are not enough, they also need to fight against the filthy things.
By killing the creatures of the abyss, one can kill one's own filth, cleanse one's body and mind step by step, and finally reach the holy land of light.
So now it’s all about saving yourself.
I have to say that this religious method is quite useful.
Although these stone men are blessed with the power of the holy land, they are actually just cannon fodder.
Their strength is okay, but their numbers are not enough.
As for the demons, there were a large number of them. Although their formation was chaotic, each of them became exceptionally brave under the blessing of various halos or spells.
Moreover, as long as are together, they can form a chaotic aura, scattering the minds of the people around them and making their desires out of control.
Emotions and desires such as fear and escape will surge into your mind.
When normal people face this kind of demonic tide, they basically have only one option: escape.
But this group of stone men have the courage to face the challenge head-on.
The battle was extremely chaotic, with demons howling and rushing towards anything that moved, and many of them even fought among themselves in the process.
But even so, the stone people are still at an absolute disadvantage.
They were overwhelmed by demons.
Lu Bai pretended to rush towards the stone men together, but he was secretly adjusting his own position.
The people in front collided with each other, and after just three or four simple moves, one was dead and one was disabled.
After the stone man killed the demon with a knife, he was stabbed in the thigh by the short demon's tail.
Lu Bai's figure just happened to fall behind the demon, and then he pounced on the man when he had just killed the demon and had not yet recovered his strength, and successfully harvested his first kill.
In fact, on the battlefield, the rhythm of battle is very important for individual soldiers.
One person can never face multiple opponents. Even if you try your best to kill one person, in the end you will just be killed by the others.
It is important for me to maintain the rhythm and leave more energy to protect myself instead of defeating the enemy.
After Lu Bai successfully harvested a head, he discovered the problem.
For these stone men, death is just the beginning.
Especially these stone men who successfully killed a demon.
After their own deaths, their souls were torn away from their spirits, and then they were attracted by the ball of light in the distant sky. This war was probably just a conflict of cannon fodder.
Lu Bai roughly studied the remaining power in the stone man, and then found that this power and the power of the abyss had a mutual restraint effect, which gradually gave Lu Bai an idea.
He followed the crack in the opponent's skin, cut off a piece of the opponent's stone skin, put it away, and then joined the battlefield at his own pace.
Soon, after paying the price of a large number of demon deaths, this group of stone men was completely wiped out.
Most of the demons' deaths were caused by themselves.
Because he was too excited, even though there was no stone man in front of him, he still treated the demon next to him as an enemy and attacked it.
After the first battle, Lu Bai harvested a lot of stone skin remaining on the stone men.
Then he returned to the demon camp on earth.
It is called a military camp, but in fact it is a chaotic area similar to a slum.
There is no order here at all. Every demon, driven by the desire to survive, is releasing its own desires wantonly.
Pick out weak demons and then use them to satisfy your own appetite, lust, comparison desire, etc.
In fact, this military camp is not much safer than the battlefield.
Demons without desire valves are indeed such a dangerous group.
Lu Bai had already hidden himself early.
After unpacking the package, I got a lot of information about the demon's abilities, although these abilities were very low-level.
But it is enough to deal with these scenarios. As long as the demon lord does not appear directly in front of him, Lu Bai will not have any problems.
"Also, I will be able to quickly gain some abilities to make a living." Lu Bai took out the stone skins and prepared to make his own trump card.
