Hu Shu stared closely at the remaining Mysterious Faction core leaders, feeling the increasingly crazy aura on their bodies. Suddenly, the leaders chanted incantations in unison, the light in the palace suddenly changed, and a destructive power was gathering. "No, they are going to cast forbidden spells!" Hu Shu shouted. Everyone's expressions changed, and they quickly prepared for defense. A more dangerous battle was about to come.
The dome of the palace suddenly cracked open countless gaps, and the dazzling purple Black Light poured down from the gaps, giving the entire space a strange halo. The air was filled with the weird smell of sulfur and sandalwood, which penetrated into the nasal cavity and made people dizzy. The figures of the Mysterious Faction leaders were distorted in the light, and their voices overlapped, forming a tooth-wrenching buzz.
"Use our remains to sacrifice the world and bring about the catastrophe of annihilation!" Black Robe Leader, the leader, roared, his body began to swell, and dense runes appeared on the surface of his skin.
Hu Shu's pupils shrank suddenly. He could feel that this force was extracting the energy from the earth's veins below the palace. If this forbidden spell was allowed to take full shape, the area thousands of miles away would be reduced to ruins. He did not hesitate to activate Invincible Domain, and Domain Light surged around like a tide, trying to suppress the gathering power of destruction.
The moment Domain Light collided with purple Black Light, a deafening roar erupted. The palace ground shook violently, and rubble fell from the dome, hitting the ground with a dull crashing sound. The Human Race warriors were shaken and staggered, and several Jie Sect Disciple hurriedly cast spells to stabilize their bodies.
"Wu Zetian, lead people to destroy Earth Vein Node!" Hu Shu shouted sharply while maintaining domain suppression.
Wu Zetian's face was pale, but she reacted quickly and rushed into the depths of the palace with a team of elite warriors. She could feel the pulse from the ground beneath her feet, which was a sign that the energy of the earth's veins was forcibly extracted. She bit her fingertips and drew formation-breaking patterns on her palms with blood, which was one of the secret techniques taught by Hu Shu.
At this moment, the entire Primordial World suddenly changed color.
Without warning, a dark cloud of ink rose up in the western sky. The cloud rolled and expanded, swallowing the sky as if it were alive. Scarlet lightning flashed from time to time in the cloud, and each flash was accompanied by low thunder. The thunder was not like ordinary thunder, but more like the painful wail of countless creatures.
Immediately afterwards, an unprecedented aura of evil and chaos spread from the west. The aura was like a real tide. Wherever it passed, the vegetation withered, the streams changed color, and even the air became thick and filthy. Calamity Qi was surging between heaven and earth, and the Heavenly Dao law that had been gradually stabilized by Human Race Unification actually began to fluctuate violently at this moment.
Hu Shu was shocked. He looked up to the west, a look of horror flashed in his eyes. This aura... was more terrifying than Tribulation of Witches and Demons, Investiture of the Gods Calamity, and Journey to the West Tribulation combined! This was a real catastrophe of world destruction!
"Tribulation of Buddha and Demons..." He murmured, his voice filled with unprecedented solemnity.
The forbidden spells in the palace began to get out of control under the influence of this sudden change in the world. The purple Black Light twisted violently, and the Mysterious Faction leaders let out shrill screams. Their bodies quickly disintegrated in the light and turned into pools of filthy blood. The earth energy energy backfired, and the entire palace began to collapse.
"Get out! Get out!" Hu Shu shouted, Invincible Domain spread out with all his strength, protected everyone and rushed out of the palace.
Huge boulders fell from overhead, and bottomless gaps opened up on the ground. The Human Race warriors supported each other and moved forward with difficulty under the protection of Hu Shu's domain. One soldier slipped and was about to fall into the crack. Hu Shu reached out to grab it, and Domain Power turned into an invisible palm to pull him back.
The moment he rushed out of the palace, there was an earth-shattering explosion behind him. The entire mountain collapsed with a loud noise, and smoke and dust rose into the sky, covering half of the sky. Hu Shu led everyone to the top of the mountain in the distance. Looking back, he saw that Mysterious Faction's lair had been reduced to ruins.
But at this moment, no one has the joy of victory.
The black clouds in the western sky have spread to the top of the head, and the sky has become as dark as night. From time to time, strange shadows pass by in the clouds. Those shadows look like humans but not humans, and they look like animals but not beasts, making a blood-curdling scream. The evil smell in the air is getting thicker and thicker, and there is a burning sensation in the lungs when you inhale it.
"Master, this is..." Wu Zetian came to Hu Shu's side, his voice trembling slightly.
"Tribulation of Buddha and Demons is coming." Hu Shu said in a deep voice, his eyes sweeping over everyone, "Mysterious Faction is nothing to worry about anymore, the real catastrophe is coming. Everyone, follow me back to Chaoge immediately!"
There was no time to wipe out the remnants, and there was no time to clean the battlefield. Hu Shu cast Supernatural Abilities, and Domain Power enveloped everyone, turning into a stream of light and speeding towards the east. On the way, they saw that the earth below had begun to change.
A forest that was originally lush and lush, now the trees are twisted and deformed, with strange eyes growing on the branches. Those eyes are blinking and flowing with black sap. The water of a river has become scarlet like blood, with rotten fish carcasses floating on the river, emitting a disgusting stench. In the village, the people knelt on the ground, some hugging each other and crying, some with dull eyes, mumbling words, and there was a vague black or golden aura surrounding their bodies.
"Devilish Qi Erosion...Buddha Light bewitched..." Hu Shu's face became increasingly ugly.
In just a moment, the aura of Tribulation of Buddha and Demons has spread here. This speed and scope far exceed any previous calamity!
When ZhaoGe City appeared in the field of vision, Hu Shu's heart sank to the bottom.
There was actually a faint layer of Black Qi hanging over the Human Race capital city. On the city wall, the guards patrolled back and forth nervously, their eyes full of fear. On the streets in the city, people gathered together, talking, and the panic spread like a plague. Some people knelt down to pray, some ran wildly, and some stood still with empty eyes.
Hu Shu led everyone to the square in front of the palace. Fu Xi and Di Xin, who had been waiting here for a long time, quickly came up to them.
"Senior Hu Shu!" Fu Xi looked solemn, "The heaven and earth are changing, Calamity Qi is turbulent, could this be..."
"Tribulation of Buddha and Demons." Hu Shu interrupted him, "Immediately summon all Human Race senior officials and Interception Sect's allies for urgent discussion!"
"It has been notified." Di Xin said in a deep voice. The former King of Shang is now one of the important leaders of Human Race. His eyes were shining with perseverance. "The leaders of various ministries are coming. Interception Sect has sent a message to Tongtian Cult Master."
In the emergency meeting hall deep inside the palace, the atmosphere was so oppressive that one could hardly breathe.
The Night Pearl inlaid on the four walls of the hall emitted a soft light, but it could not dispel the gloom in everyone's minds. On both sides of the long table, the Human Race Factions leaders took their seats one after another, their faces full of worry. Some people still had injuries on their bodies, which were traces of the previous battle with Mysterious Faction.
Hu Shu is sitting in the main seat, with Wu Zetian, Fu Xi, Di Xin on the left, and Interception Sect on the right. The position represented by. He looked around the crowd and spoke slowly, "Everyone has seen that Tribulation of Buddha and Demons has officially arrived. This is not a local disaster, but a catastrophe that has swept through the entire Primordial World."
A leader from the southern tribe stood up and said in a hoarse voice, "Lord Hu Shu, starting this morning in my tribe, some tribesmen suddenly went crazy, with black scales growing on their bodies and biting everyone they saw. Doctors were helpless and dozens of people were injured or killed."
"My side is even weirder." The leader of the Western tribe said, his fingers trembling slightly, "Some tribesmen suddenly knelt down and chanted sutras, with golden Buddha Light emitting from their bodies, but their eyes were empty, like puppets. They persuaded others to convert to Buddhism, saying that this was the only way to salvation."
"A black tide appears along the eastern coast. Wherever the sea water passes, life is devastated..."
"The snowy mountains in the north are melting, and the snow is mixed with blood..."
Bad news came one after another. The temperature in the hall seemed to drop sharply, and some people could not help but shiver.
At this moment, a ray of green light descended from the sky and landed outside the hall. Tongtian Cult Master's figure appeared, but he did not come in person, but a clone projection. Even so, the pressure of Saint still made everyone's hearts tremble.
"Hu Shu Fellow Daoist." Tongtian Cult Master's Clone walked into the hall, his face equally solemn, "Interception Sect has sensed the calamity coming. Western Sect Remnant joined forces with the demonic forces and took advantage of the fluctuations in the Heavenly Dao law to arouse Tribulation of Buddha and Demons. Their goal is very clear - Human Race."
"Why Human Race?" A young leader couldn't help but ask.
Tongtian Cult Master looked at Hu Shu, Hu Shu took a deep breath and gave him the answer, "Because Human Race just unified and became New Hegemon of Hong Huang, but its foothold is not stable. Buddha-Demon Forces attempts to take advantage of this opportunity to weaken or even destroy Human Race in one fell swoop, carve up Human Race Fortune, and strengthen itself."
There was dead silence in the hall.
Divide Human Race Fortune... Everyone knows what this means. Luck is the foundation for the survival of the race. If luck is taken away, Human Race will completely decline or even be exterminated!
"How do they do it?" Wu Zetian clenched his fists and dug his nails into his palms.
"Devilish Qi Erosion transforms the minds of living beings into monsters; Buddha Light confuses the faith of all living beings and accepts them as believers." Hu Shu said solemnly, "A two-pronged approach to disintegrate Human Race from the inside. Once Human Race is internally chaotic and its luck is naturally dispersed, they can take advantage of it."
Fu Xi suddenly stood up, formed seals with his hands, and the light of deduction flashed in his eyes. "I used the power of Human Dao Saint to deduce Heavenly Secrets... No! Buddha-Demon Alliance's first wave of offensive will attack Human Race at the same time in three days. Ten Great Strongholds! Including Shouyang Mountain, Chaoge, Chen Du..."
"Three days later?!" Di Xin slammed the table, "Time is too tight!"
"Not only that." Tongtian Cult Master's Clone added, "Differences have arisen within the Interception Sect. Some of the brothers are shaken by Zi Shou's demonic energy or Buddha Light, and it may be difficult to fully support Human Race in the short term."
Another bad news.
Hu Shu closed his eyes and thought rapidly in his mind. Three days later, Ten Great Strongholds was attacked at the same time, which meant that Buddha-Demon Alliance's power was far greater than expected. Human Race had just experienced a battle with Mysterious Faction, the elites were damaged, and Interception Sect's allies had internal problems...
"Master, what should we do?" Wu Zetian looked at Hu Shu, his eyes full of trust, but there was also a trace of undisguised anxiety.
Hu Shu opened his eyes and glanced at everyone present. He saw fear and uneasiness, but he also saw determination and determination. These are the leaders of Human Race, warriors who have gone through many hardships to get to where they are today.
"First of all, start ZhaoGe Defense Formation immediately, with Invincible Domain as the core, covering the whole city." Hu Shu's voice was steady and powerful, "Wu Zetian, you sit in Chaoge and check for internal troubles. Anyone who is bewitched by Devilish Qi Erosion or Buddha Light will be isolated immediately."
"Yes!" Wu Zetian straightened his back.
"Fu Xi, use your Human Dao Saint power to contact Human Race strong people from all over the country and organize defense. Evacuate Ten Great Strongholds people to safe areas as much as possible."
Fu Xi nodded. "I will try my best."
"Di Xin, you mobilize all the combat power of Human Race to form Emergency Legion, ready to support each town at any time."
Di Xin's eyes were filled with war fire. "We will definitely live up to our mission!"
Hu Shu finally looked at Tongtian Cult Master's Clone: "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, Interception Sect internal issues, please deal with them as soon as possible. Human Race needs allies, Primordial World needs all righteous forces to unite."
Tongtian Cult Master's Clone solemnly nodded. "I will try my best to stabilize Interception Sect. In addition, I have sent a message to Houtu, and the underworld will fully assist Human Race in stabilizing reincarnation and preventing Devilish Qi Erosion's soul."
After finishing the arrangements, Hu Shu stood up and walked to the window of the main hall. Outside the window, the sky was getting darker and darker, there were more and more weird shadows in the black clouds, and the screams were getting closer and closer.
"Everyone." He turned his back to everyone, and his voice spread throughout the hall, "Human Race has survived Tribulation of Witches and Demons, risen through Investiture of the Gods Calamity, and unified after Journey to the West Tribulation. Every time, we have survived. This time, although Tribulation of Buddha and Demons is dangerous, Human Race is no longer the weak clan it used to be."
He turned around, with a firm light shining in his eyes. "We are New Hegemon of the Primordial World. We have countless warriors who are willing to fight for the survival of the race. We have a will that has been condensed through hardships. Buddha-Demon Forces wants to launch an attack while our foothold is not stable? Then let them see how unshakable Human Race is after it has established a firm foothold!"
After the words fell, the hall was silent for a moment, and then thunderous responses erupted.
"Swear to protect Human Race to the death!"
"Fight to the end with Buddha-Demon Forces!"
"Human Race will last forever!"
The voices gathered into a torrent, dispersing part of the oppressive atmosphere. But everyone knew in their hearts that the real test had just begun.
Hu Shu looks to the west, where the black clouds are thickest and where the aura of Buddha and Demon comes from. Three days later, Ten Great Strongholds will be attacked at the same time, and Shouyang Mountain--Ancestral Land of the Human Race are likely to become the main targets.
He clenched his fists, and Invincible Domain slowly circulated in his body. Although the area covered was wide, it would still be stretched thin in the face of multiple simultaneous attacks. Choices had to be made, troops had to be divided to respond, and companions had to be trusted to defend their respective positions.
Wu Zetian came to him and whispered, "Master, leave Chaoge to me. You can go to Shouyang Mountain at ease. That is where Human Race Fortune gathers. There must be no mistakes."
Hu Shu looked at her. This disciple who once needed his protection is now able to stand alone. He nodded, reached out and patted her shoulder. "Be careful Devilish Qi Erosion. If there is any abnormality, use Domain Power to purify it immediately."
"I understand."
As night fell, ZhaoGe City lit up thousands of lights, but under the cover of black clouds, those lights looked weak and insignificant. On the city wall, the guards clenched their weapons and stared into the distance with vigilance. Inside the city, the people gathered in ancestral halls and temples to pray for safety.
Hu Shu stood at the highest point of the palace, feeling the turbulent Calamity Qi. Tribulation of Buddha and Demons between heaven and earth. Can Human Race, the newborn overlord, withstand the first wave of impact?
He doesn't know the answer.
But he knows that no matter what, he will fight until the last moment. For Human Race, for those who trust him, and for the race that he personally helped rise.
In the night wind, there was a distant, strange sound that sounded like crying and laughing. Was it the roar of a monster, or the chanting of a bewitched person?
Hu Shu closed his eyes and began to adjust his condition. Three days later, Shouyang Mountain, he will visit the battlefield in person.
At this moment, across Primordial World, the shadow of Buddha-Demon Forces is quietly spreading. This crisis related to the life and death of Human Race has begun a bloody prelude.
