Chen Wang's current state is quite peculiar; he can see this scene, but he cannot interfere with or touch it.

The white-haired old man wielded a large knife, and with each step he took, he could shatter hard rocks.

The broadsword in his hand could also unleash blade energy, extremely sharp, and each slash was highly methodical, heavy and powerful yet carrying a ruthless meaning.

However, he seemed to be disturbed by something; his eyelids were drooping.

To this end, he didn't hesitate to cut himself with a dagger to let out some blood and regain his senses.

The three of them surrounded and attacked the strange beast.

Soon the beast was wounded and fled in panic.

The woman was extremely tall and had a very heroic air about her. Her movements were swift and fierce; with a single sword stroke, she severed the head of the Dream Eater that was trying to escape.

After the Dream Eater tapir fell to the ground, its head rolled around a few times on the ground.

"He just died like that?"

Chen Wang observed this scene and raised an eyebrow.

The fact that this strange beast died like this was somewhat unexpected for him.

These three are also quite powerful.

The blue-clad youth holding the spear's eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice, "Everyone says that the Dream Eater Dream Eater is powerful, but in my opinion, it's not that difficult to deal with."

The old man with a full head of white hair said in a deep voice, "Dream Eater in a waking state is completely different from a sleeping Dream Eater. It usually doesn't wake up, and when we enter it, it will pull us into a dream. But this time, for some reason, this Dream Eater is actually awake."

As the three were talking, the young man in blue used his spear to turn over the Dream Eater's corpse. Only after confirming that the creature was completely dead did he breathe a sigh of relief.

But just as he was turning over the corpse, the old man with a full head of silver hair suddenly turned around. The heavy broadsword in his hand brought a sharp whistling sound, and a sharp blade of energy directly slashed at the young man in blue!

The young man in blue had a protective Gang Qi, but at this distance, he was ambushed by the old man, and a terrifying knife wound appeared between his chest and abdomen.

With a splattering sound, blood splattered everywhere! His face instantly turned pale.

"What you do!"

The young man in blue shouted in a deep voice.

The girl standing next to her was also somewhat surprised.

The white-haired old man, wielding a large sword, moved with a peculiar gait, and in just two rounds, he killed the young man in blue! The turn of events was too swift; the woman didn't have time to react. When she did, she thrust out her longsword, but it failed to stop the old man's blade.

The woman shouted coldly, "Wang Tu, what are you doing!"

The old man with a full head of silver hair slowly said, "Bai Qichuan is a demon who colluded with the Sky Demon Alliance. Two White-Robed Envoy from the Golden Court Prefecture have already died at his hands. I was ordered by the Golden Court Prefecture to seize the opportunity to kill him."

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it over from a distance.

The woman took it and looked at it, and her expression immediately changed.

"How could this be? Senior Brother Bai is of noble character and wholeheartedly devoted to joining the Golden Court Prefecture to serve the imperial court. How could he do such a thing?"

Judging from her expression, she already believed it; it was an official document from the Golden Court Prefecture, and it carried considerable weight.

"He should have a bronze token on him indicating that he is colluding with the Sky Demon Alliance. You can find out whether it's real or fake by checking."

The elderly man with gray hair spoke slowly.

While warily watching the gray-haired old man, the woman took out a bronze plaque from the dead young man's body. One side depicted thousands of demons, vividly portrayed, while the other side showed a pair of eyes—a pair of extremely peculiar and eerie eyes.

The woman was tall and slender, and her curvaceous figure was clearly visible when she squatted down. Upon seeing the bronze plaque, her expression changed instantly. "He actually colluded with the Sky Demon Alliance!"

Besides the conversation between the two, Chen Wang noticed that a wisp of barely perceptible black mist drifted out from the body of the dead Dream Eater and flew to the white-haired old man.

Just as the woman was examining the bronze plaque in her hand, the old man's eyes suddenly turned into eerie vertical pupils.

Chen Wang immediately raised his eyebrows.

But when he tried to examine it closely, he suddenly felt weak, the scene before him shattered, and he was pulled out of that state.

A thoughtful look appeared in Chen Wang's eyes.

The previous image was so clear, and at the end, the old man with a full head of silver hair had strangely turned his eyes into vertical pupils.

"Strange, what kind of world is this?"

"Sky Demon Alliance, Golden Court Prefecture, White-Robed Envoy."

"That old guy doesn't look like a good person."

Many thoughts flashed through Chen Wang's mind.

The fighting style of these people is somewhat similar to that of body cultivators, except that body cultivators use their qi Qi and Blood to fight, using their physical bodies as weapons.

Although these people also had strong Qi and Blood, it appeared that their True Qi had left their bodies.

Chen Wang looked inward and found that the Light Spot in his Sea of Consciousness was becoming brighter and brighter.

"When this Light Spot is exactly the same as the other Light Spot, I should be able to cross over," Chen Wang thought to himself.

He was curious about the woman's fate, and also about the strange beast's abilities.

"It's just watching TV, and then it goes offline," Chen Wang couldn't help but curse.

He then calmed his mind and began to cultivate on the Flat Top Mountain.

Several more days passed, and he could no longer capture the previous scenes, or rather, the sights of that other world.

However, Chen Wang was not in a hurry. Cultivation is something that cannot be rushed. Because of the balance between tension and relaxation, Chen Wang believed that the Light Spot seemed to be gradually strengthening over time, so he focused on his cultivation on Flat Top Mountain.

Feng Lin learned some information from outside that the Old Devil in the Nascent Soul Realm had not completely disappeared.

Not only that, he also destroyed one of Dragon Head Mountain's forces outside, killing all seventy-two cultivators, including twelve Foundation Establishment Realm experts.

Dragon Head Mountain is wealthy and powerful, with the Nascent Soul Realm stage cultivators fighting alongside it, clearly aiming to become the leader of the Righteous Path sects in the Northern Lands.

However, after this incident, they began to restrain their power and strictly forbade their disciples from leaving the mountain.

Moreover, they secretly sent people to search for the whereabouts of that Nascent Soul Realm Old Devil.

The Old Devil became even more insane after being injured.

It is said that in a town of ordinary people, more than 200,000 people were all Blood Sacrifice by him. Such a heinous act aroused the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people, and also caused panic among the people.

On this day,

Chen Wang was playing chess with Xu Yun in the room.

However, the two were playing Gomoku, not Go.

Looking at Xu Yun's serious expression, anyone who didn't know better would think the two of them were Go masters.

Feng Lin walked in, her face pale and her expression extremely solemn.

Seeing her expression, Chen Wang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Feng Lin let out a long sigh, "That Old Devil really went to the Thirty-Six Islands region, and now the Thirty-Six Islands have been reduced to ruins."

The chess piece in Xu Yun's hand fell to the ground with a thud.

Chen Wang's brows furrowed deeply.

"This person has become even more reckless after being injured, and he intends to sweep away all the cultivation forces in the Northern Lands."

"These high and mighty cultivators are like pigs and sheep in his eyes!"

Chen Wang's tone couldn't help but sound somewhat bitter.

Of the Thirty-Six Islands, some of his subordinates have been transferred, including the original female cultivators, but some have remained.

Moreover, according to Feng Lin, after the Thirty-Six Islands were emptied, some rogue cultivators entered them to cultivate using the Spiritual Qi of the islands, but unexpectedly, they suffered this disaster instead.

Over the next two weeks, the news Feng Lin sent back became increasingly alarming.

That Old Devil actually went to each of the Northern Lands cultivation sects one by one, following their names.

This includes the original territory of the Red Cloud Sect.

This person possesses a powerful magical artifact and is now going on a killing spree, not only targeting cultivators but also towns of ordinary people. Wherever he encounters, he will immediately Blood Sacrifice.

"I never expected to encounter such a catastrophe, which has dragged on for so long."

Chen Wang couldn't help but shake his head.

I thought that practicing cultivation on Flat Top Mountain would be peaceful, but now it seems that may not be the case.

On the day Feng Lin brought back this news, a group of monks arrived at Flat Top Mountain.

At first, only one person came to the vicinity of Chen Wang's cave abode, but was immediately discovered by Chen Wang's men and returned to report.

"This Old Devil has swept through the local cultivation forces. It seems that there are quite a few forces like us who have come out to avoid disaster."

After listening to the female cultivator's report, Chen Wang had many thoughts in his mind.

It seems highly likely that there are people who share the same thoughts as me.

"Keep a close eye on them. If they're here to escape trouble, then we don't need to bother with them. But if they have other ideas, then we're not to be trifled with."

Chen Wang spoke calmly.

The female cultivator nodded. "Yes, sir."

Chen Wang didn't pay much attention to this group of cultivators. However, what worried Chen Wang was that two days later, another group of cultivators arrived near the Red Haze Gate.

This group of people included men and women, young and old, and they appeared to have come here to escape disaster.

Upon hearing this news, Chen Wang couldn't help but frown.

At this moment, Feng Lin brought back another message.

"Jian'an City was Blood Sacrifice, with 300,000 people killed. Now the entire Jian'an City has become a strange and eerie place," Feng Lin said.

"What?" Chen Wang frowned.

He separated the forces of the Thirty-Six Islands. Some of the subordinates from Golden Wind Island, the female cultivators, and some maids were still in Jian'an City.

Only a handful of people remained by his side.

The female cultivators and maids under Chen Wang's command were also deeply saddened upon hearing this news.

Jin'er and several of the girls were like sisters.

Chen Wang led his men away from Golden Wind Island, intending to avoid that disaster.

In fact, this can no longer be called a disaster, but a catastrophe for the Cultivation World in the Northern Lands.

He dispersed his men and sent them away, which can be considered a sign of his benevolence.

However, no one expected that after being injured, the demon would go berserk and start attacking ordinary people in the mortal world, leading to the destruction of Jian'an City.

In the coming days, Chen Wang could feel a sorrowful atmosphere spreading throughout the cave abode.

They had spent a lot of time together on the island, some of them even being female cultivators under Granny Feng's command, having lived together for an even longer period.

They were living a carefree life on Golden Wind Island, like a paradise on earth, but unexpectedly, they were separated by life and death in the blink of an eye.

"In the Cultivation World, you really can't get by without strength!"

Chen Wang sighed deeply, which strengthened his resolve to become stronger.

However, his cultivation speed has slowed down during this period.

The Spiritual Qi on this Flat Top Mountain is not abundant. Relying solely on the resources at hand for cultivation will slow down the process considerably. Moreover, the further one progresses in cultivation, the more difficult it becomes, and it's uncertain when one will be able to form a golden core.

Iron Sword Peak, where there is a Iron Sword Peak Golden Core Stage Cultivator. He has only been a Golden Core cultivator for three hundred years and is in the prime of his life.

Iron Sword Peak has recruited many disciples, and now has three hundred disciples.

But today, Iron Sword Peak is facing a calamity.

A dark cloud shrouded the sky, and a huge black banner appeared out of thin air atop Iron Sword Peak.

The defensive formation of Iron Sword Peak showed signs of breaking after only half an incense stick's time.

The Golden Core Stage cultivator at Iron Sword Peak was a burly man with a bushy beard and sword-like eyebrows, exuding a heroic air.

At this moment, he stood atop Iron Sword Peak, riding a beam of sword light.

His expression was tinged with worry. He had long heard that the Nascent Soul Old Devil had swept through the cultivation forces, but he never expected that this calamity would befall him, Tie Jianfeng, today.

At this moment, a huge human face appeared in the dark clouds, giving people a great sense of oppression.

A chilling wind blew through the dark clouds, as if thousands of ghosts were lurking there, or as if a Ghost Gate Pass had been opened; the terrifying atmosphere was enough to make anyone tremble with fear.

Even Tie Jianfeng, a True Person, looked solemn at this moment, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"Senior is a highly accomplished cultivator, yet you dare to defy the world and kill people to practice your skills. With the mighty Heavenly Dao above, are you not afraid of divine retribution?"

The bearded swordsman shouted coldly.

The enormous face uttered a thunderous voice, "A mere Golden Core cultivator dares to presume to discuss the Heavenly Dao? What a joke!"

This face seemed to be constantly Soul Devouring, and the secret treasure in its hand was extremely powerful.

This is a terrifying magical treasure that can refine Spirit Vein; otherwise, his strength wouldn't have increased with each battle, and he wouldn't have recovered so quickly.

Chen Wang is currently cultivating near Flat Top Mountain. Eight or nine tenths of the Spiritual Qi in Flat Top Mountain has been lost, and it is almost exhausted.

In other words, this person not only kills people to practice his skills, but he is also draining the pond to catch all the fish, destroying the foundation of the cultivation world.

No wonder the bearded swordsman said he was defying the world.

The bearded swordsman's expression turned solemn. Knowing that further words were useless, he simply said in a cold voice, "Use your sword to subdue demons!"

With a cold shout, flying swords soared into the sky from Iron Sword Peak! They had set up a grand formation, the Big Dipper Heavenly Dipper Demon-Subduing Formation of Iron Sword Peak.

One by one, the cultivators unleashed their full power, wielding their flying swords to strike at the enormous human face in the sky!

However, this Nascent Soul Realm Old Devil was too powerful. By the time several Nascent Soul Stage cultivator from Dragon Head Mountain and Azure City Mountain arrived, Iron Sword Peak had already become a ruin, and three hundred sword cultivators from Iron Sword Peak had died in battle.

A tall, thin old man with eyes as sharp as a hawk sighed and slowly said:

"If this man is not eliminated, we will all eventually become ghosts in his banner."

The Dragon Head Mountain Old Ancestor and several Nascent Soul Realm stage cultivators were filled with murderous intent.

Such actions are not merely practicing Devil Cultivation Method; they make one an enemy of all cultivators in the Northern Lands, and even an enemy of the entire world.
