This is the martial arts world, what are you cultivators interfering in?

Chapter 494 Burning Everything

Mo Chen slowly rose with a look of despair in his eyes, but did not keep his promise.

He chuckled, looked up at the believers within the dark clouds, and said coldly:

"You profit-driven bastards, don't you think my Star Devouring Sect is already in enough trouble?"

"The Star Devouring Sect's millennia-old foundation has been destroyed, and in the end, not only do you not help us, but you also come here to hold us accountable. Haven't the contributions of my thousands of disciples to the Great Black Buddha Mother over the years been enough to earn your protection?!"

As soon as Mo Chen finished speaking, the several auras in the black clouds fell into a brief state of contemplation.

However, a moment later, a believer continued to question:

"Mo Chen, this is not a reason for you to kill the followers of the Great Black Buddha Mother."

"If everyone were like this, what face would the Great Black Buddha Mother have left?!"

"If your Star Devouring Sect does not give a satisfactory explanation today, then the Star Devouring Sect shall perish."

Upon hearing this, Mo Chen chuckled again.

"Heh, is this how the Great Black Buddha Mother treats her faithful followers?"

"Good, good, I finally understand why the Great Black Heaven is so full of evil practitioners and has no humanity."

“If even the Supreme God is like this, how could Mahakala not be?”

Mo Chen directed all his anger at the Great Black Buddha Mother, which naturally made the believers even more intolerant.

"Mo Chen, you're asking for death!"

The dark clouds expanded rapidly, covering the entire Star Devouring Sect in the blink of an eye.

Rumble!

Black lightning bolts fell, each as thick as a bucket.

Wherever the thunder passed, not a blade of grass grew, and no one survived.

Even disciples whose cultivation had reached the Divine Servant Realm were helpless, and even elders at the Divine Envoy Realm could only scatter and hide from the ravages of the lightning; they were even less able to escape.

At this moment, the nine elders of the Star Devouring Sect finally stopped fighting among themselves and joined forces to fight against the dark cloud overhead.

Now that the Star Devouring Sect is facing a life-or-death crisis, they have no choice but to join forces against the enemy.

But their strength was far too weak; compared to the followers of the Great Black Buddha Mother, they were nothing but ants.

In the midst of chaos within the Star Devouring Sect, in a lavishly decorated hall.

The Second Elder and Man Qiong sat facing each other, both bearing injuries of varying degrees.

"Manqiong, you should run away quickly, the Star Devouring Sect is probably going to be destroyed today."

Man Qiong's eyes were filled with sorrow. He looked at the Second Elder, who was leaning back in his chair, and said sadly:

"Second Elder, it's because I wasn't strong enough to protect you."

During the battle just now, Manqiong had already activated his third eye.

With the help of that third eye, he was able to barely rescue the Second Elder from the clutches of the believers.

Even though he managed to rescue the Second Elder, he was still seriously injured.

The Second Elder gave a bitter smile and slowly said:

"Hehe, Manqiong, you've done very well."

"If there is an afterlife, I would still like to be your teacher."

puff!

The Second Elder spat out a mouthful of blood, and the look in his eyes dimmed even more.

Outside the Grand Elder's palace, Blood Butcher was engaged in a frenzied battle.

After the internal strife within the sect a few days ago, coupled with the current battle with the believers, the blood aura emanating from Xue Tu has become even more sinister and terrifying.

In the successive battles, Blood Butcher's strength has been rapidly breaking through, and he has now even broken through to the Divine Envoy realm.

Among all the disciples of the Star Devouring Sect, he was probably the one who broke through the fastest.

Because as long as someone dies, he can increase his strength by absorbing that person's life essence.

For Blood Butcher, war is the best way to cultivate oneself.

"Blood Butcher, come in."

At this moment, an aged voice rang out, and Blood Butcher finally stopped his killing spree and headed towards the Grand Elder's palace.

At this time, the Grand Elder was also in extremely poor condition, and his life force was slowly fading away.

Only after seeing Blood Butcher did he sit up from his seat.

Seeing Xue Tu's cultivation level soar, the Grand Elder's eyes were filled with satisfaction.

In this dark world, killing is the most common thing, so the Grand Elder not only had no dissatisfaction with Blood Butcher's actions, but was also very satisfied.

"Blood Slaughter, you are the most talented disciple I have ever encountered in my life. I am very pleased with you."

"However, the Star Devouring Sect is now on the verge of extinction, so you don't need to stay here any longer."

"If we wait for those believers to break through the sect's protective formation and storm in, I'm afraid everyone will die."

"So you should just run away."

Upon hearing this, Blood Butcher's bloodshot eyes widened in surprise.

He looked at the Grand Elder who had taught him for so long, and his cold voice suddenly became somewhat human.

"Elder, won't you escape with me?"

A smile appeared on the Grand Elder's face. He shook his head and slowly said:

"I am seriously injured, and even if I am lucky enough to escape, I am afraid I will not live much longer."

“But you are different. You are destined to become the most outstanding person in this world. You cannot die here.”

"Blood Butcher, I have one last thing to pass on to you. After you receive it, you may leave."

Under Blood Butcher's puzzled gaze, the Grand Elder's withered hand actually reached directly into his own heart.

The next moment, Blood Butcher was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Because the Grand Elder directly extracted a clump of essence blood from his own heart.

The sheer amount of energy contained within was enough to tempt even Blood Butcher.

But this was his master's essence blood, how could Blood Butcher bear to devour it?

"Elder, you mustn't!"

The Grand Elder smiled with relief and said:

"Blood Butcher, remember this: never be soft-hearted."

"If you want to establish yourself in this dark world and become a top expert, you must become more ruthless."

"Take this essence of my blood and escape."

The Grand Elder's expression was resolute, leaving no room for Blood Butcher to refuse.

After hesitating for a long time, Xue Tu still accepted the ball of essence blood with trembling hands.

Then he clasped his hands in a fist salute, bid farewell to the elder, and left.

Meanwhile, in the ancestral land of the Star Devouring Sect.

With a deafening roar, the Nine Heavens Demon Lord was finally disintegrated by Li Lan, transforming into countless spirits of heaven and earth.

With the help of the Five Elements Spirit, they were transformed into five Great Dao Rules, which were then swallowed by Li Lan.

At the same time, a dazzling white light suddenly shone from the center of the stone platform below.

Li Lan looked down and finally discovered the secret hidden on the stone platform.

It turned out that there was a giant magic array inside that stone platform.

This magic array is the source of all the power of the Nine Heavens Demon Lord, and also the source of all the spirits of heaven and earth in this space.

The next moment, Li Lan appeared directly in the center of the magic array.

Upon arriving here, Li Lan was instantly stunned.

"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is so abundant?!"

Li Lan was shocked to discover that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here was several times more concentrated than that of the outer space.

After some investigation, he finally learned the reason.

It turns out that the elders of the Star Devouring Sect had collected all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and concentrated it in this formation to prevent it from leaking out.

The reason why there are still so many spirits of heaven and earth in the outside world is simply because of the excessively long span of time and the leakage of tens of thousands of years.

Upon arriving here, all five elemental spirits jumped up joyfully.

For them, this place is like paradise.

"Master, I feel so comfortable. The time rules here are so strong."

The Water element said cheerfully, and the other Five Elements spirits felt the same way.

Li Lan was overjoyed. With the help of these spirits of heaven and earth, his understanding of the Great Dao's rules would increase rapidly.

"Absorb it as soon as possible, I feel the outside world is becoming increasingly turbulent."

Li Lan gave instructions to the spirits of the Five Elements.

Then, his powerful divine sense spread out and quickly sensed the situation outside.

Now, all the disciples, deacons, and elders within the Star Devouring Sect are gripped by panic.

They were all searching for a place where no believers would attack, hoping to escape from here as soon as possible.

Under the suppression of the powerful strength of the followers of the Great Black Buddha Mother, the protective formation of the Star Devouring Sect probably won't last long.

Mo Chen, the sect leader of the Star Devouring Sect, simply gave up and stood alone in his main hall, waiting for his followers to break through the great formation.

As for the clan elders who went out to seek peace, they were directly imprisoned by the followers of the Great Black Buddha Mother.

The entire Star Devouring Sect was plunged into despair.

Li Lan knew that after today, the Star Devouring Sect would likely be completely destroyed.

But just then, Li Lan suddenly sensed an extremely dangerous aura rapidly approaching.

The next moment, a beam of black light descended from the heavens and instantly shattered the Star Devouring Sect's protective formation.

"Mo Chen, I'm giving you a chance to repent. Come out."

It was a clear and melodious voice, yet it also contained an extremely powerful force that should not be underestimated by anyone.

The energy within was so powerful that even cultivators below the quasi-god level found it difficult to withstand, and some nearly fainted.

After this voice appeared, all the believers who attacked the Star Devouring Sect fell silent for a moment before kneeling towards the heavens.

"Welcome, Great Black Buddha Mother!"

"Welcome, Great Black Buddha Mother!"

"Welcome, Great Black Buddha Mother!"

"..."

It turned out that the Great Black Buddha Mother herself had descended, which shocked everyone.

At this moment, the gazes that had been surrounding the Star Devouring Sect all retreated and moved away from the area.

The Great Black Mother descended, and no one dared to spy on her anymore.

Li Lan was instantly jolted awake and withdrew his divine sense that had been probing the ancestral land.

At the same time, he felt things were getting a bit tricky.

The fact that the Great Black Buddha Mother personally descended for the sake of the Star Devouring Sect was something Li Lan hadn't expected.

If he were to face the elders of the Star Devouring Sect and the followers of the Great Black Buddha Mother, even if Li Lan were no match for them, he would be absolutely certain that he could escape.

But now that the Great Black Buddha Mother has appeared, everything is different.

Li Lan had also clearly sensed that aura just now; even a single sound made him feel that his life was threatened.

What immense power this is!

No wonder the master of that secret realm once said that even the realm of gods was merely the threshold to seeing her.

Even if Li Lan cultivated to the level of a god, he would probably only be able to run away when he saw the Great Black Buddha Mother.

But the future is full of uncertainties, and who knows how strong his divine realm will be?

"No, we must absorb the spiritual energy of this place as soon as possible, and then take the spatial passage to another world."

Li Lan unleashed his powerful divine energy, pouring it all into the stone platform array.

With the influx of divine power, the great formation began to operate once again.

However, the Nine Heavens Demon Lord did not appear this time.

Li Lan changed the way the formation operated, only activating the formation's ability to gather the essence of heaven and earth.
