The first realm, the Pure Land.
A giant green dragon with a winding body descended from the sky, stirring up nine vortices of lightning. Its dragon claws, which seemed to be able to tear the sky apart, grabbed a piece of glazed light curtain, splashing lightning.
"Bang!"
“Shhh!”
Amid the earth-shaking roar, countless rays of light mixed with lightning shot out.
Lightning struck the nearby land, withering the trees in the forest and killing some weak creatures instantly.
The glazed divine light that covered nine valleys and a dozen mountains and rivers also shone with the brilliance of gems and jade under the dragon's claws.
The light condensed into substance and turned into water, which was like chalcedony.
The brilliance of the "Lapis Lazuli Pure World Divine Array" seemed beautiful and dreamy at this moment, allowing the practitioners in the Pure Land below to appreciate the beauty of the array even as they were trembling with fear.
They saw that in the depths of the brilliant light, there were many holy and beautiful images emerging one by one.
All living things live in harmony with birds and beasts, coexist beside rivers, lakes and swimming among the blue sky and white clouds.
An old scholar holds an ancient book in his hand and imparts knowledge to the young children.
Practitioners from various sects and countries sat and discussed the Dao with a smile on their faces.
There are abundant fruits in the mountains and a bumper harvest of grain in the river fields.
The cranes cried happily and played with the handsome boys and girls.
In those beautiful pictures, there is no hatred between people, people and birds live in harmony, and different creatures live in peace and support each other in their growth.
The brilliant light released by the "Lapis Lazuli Pure Land Divine Array" reveals the beautiful ideals pursued by the Pure Land. What every true god of the Pure Land desires is to have a place where this can be realized.
They call this place the Pure Land, and they long for it to be as vast as the entire Purgatory.
Deep in the nine secluded valleys, beneath a dozen mountains and rivers, this ancient world has stored up thousands of years of power, and has engraved the pursuit of the Pure Land in the form of "Tao marks" in its brilliance.
Long Xiao mobilized the power of his bloodline, and the black thunder and lightning that were falling down were intercepted by the glazed light.
The old dragon bared his teeth and laughed grimly, then used the power of the nine thunder vortices to condense many terrifying black thunders.
"Pure Land! Humph, it's just a name-seeking."
This ferocious green dragon swayed its huge body in the nine thunder vortices, and its eyes were full of mockery: "Su Wanrou used the ultimate poison to become a true god of the human race. With such a sect master, how can the Pure Land be called the Pure Land? As long as she is alive, as long as she is the sect master of the Pure Land, the Pure Land will never be pure!"
"You still want to live in harmony with us young demons? The number of spiritual beasts and fierce beasts that have died at the hands of Pure Land practitioners has never been small."
"Didn't the Pure Land refuse to allow us, the demon race, to occupy more land? They are just treating us like fools and fooling us with their allies!"
“Boom!”
More huge thunder balls fell from the gaps in the dragon scales of the giant green dragon and smashed towards the "Lapis Lazuli Purifying World Divine Array" that protected the pure land, constantly eroding the power of the array.
In those valleys, rivers began to break.
The walls of the mountains that supported the formation gradually cracked open, and huge rocks rolled down.
The "Lapis Lazuli Pure World Divine Array" is closely related to the valleys, mountains and rivers of the Pure Land, including the spiritual vein below, which are the cornerstones of the array.
There are two true gods in the Pure Land, one is Su Wanrou and the other is Lin Qiyang.
As long as one of the true gods is stationed in the Pure Land and controls the "Lapis Lazuli Purifying World Divine Array" with the power of a true god, they will be able to fight against this brutal old thunder dragon and make him return empty-handed.
However, only a true god can make a formation of this level, the "Lapis Lazuli Purifying World Divine Formation", unleash its full power.
But unfortunately, in the previous confrontation, Lin Qiyang was killed by the God of Fire Yanlie, and Su Wanrou was trapped in the fifth realm and could not get out.
Even Li Yuanli, who was on good terms with Jingtu and could help control the "Lapis Lazuli Pure World Divine Array" in critical moments, had his soul lamp extinguished not long ago.
Without a true god in charge of the "Lapis Lazuli Purifying World Divine Array", relying solely on the original power of the divine array, it would probably only be able to hold out for a while in the face of Long Xiao, the domineering thunder dragon.
But you must not hold on to the end.
The elders of the Pure Land and those smart disciples all understood this fact, but there was nothing they could do.
…
In one of the valleys.
"Have all the messages been sent out? Has Prince Li responded? Where is Pei Yishan? Where is Dong Shangqing?"
The Immortal Realm elder named Wang Beihong held the communication stone in a panic and roared at another elder: "Huang Yun, you are the sect's window to the outside world, what are you doing?"
Although Huang Yun is middle-aged, her skin is still fair and tender, and she looks to be in her early thirties.
But her eyes were already covered with traces of time, and all the accessories on her body were jingling.
Her mind and will never stopped, and the messages she released to the outside never stopped.
However, there were very few responses.
"Brother Wang, King Li has fallen into the fifth realm. I told you a long time ago!"
"Except for Prince Li, Zhu Ji, Ghost Mother, Tiandu Sanren, Yin Ji, Li Yuanli, and Jiang Fan, they all went to the fifth realm to fight those alien races to the death."
"Liu Fu is dead too. The only true gods above are Pei Yishan and Dong Shangqing. There are only the two of them!"
"How could I not send any messages? How many messages have I sent to the Desolate Land and the Ancient Law Sect?"
"Those two true gods are not in Beixu at the moment, but they must be on their way here! Senior Brother Wang, I am doing everything I should do. I am doing my best!"
Huang Yun's plaintive voice gradually became filled with anger.
"Strong support..."
Huang Yun glanced at the direction of the teleportation array and smiled bitterly: "The one who launched the attack on our Pure Land was the Tyrant Thunder Dragon. Except for Zhu Ji, Ghost Mother and our Sect Master, other True Gods are no match. Who dares to come and seek death?"
"That old dragon has clearly gone mad. Who would step into the Pure Land and die with us at this moment?"
"Even if the other true gods are here, I doubt they would dare to come because they are no match for that old dragon!"
Huang Yun's voice became hoarse as she spoke.
…
Dozens of miles away, deep in another valley, is the Pure Land Space Teleportation Array.
Pang Lin, Wu Sujin, and several Pure Land elders kept staring at the formation.
“Swoosh! Whoosh!”
Liu Junhong, Guanghe, and Wang Ce, three immortal realm elders from the Sword Tower, came hand in hand.
Wu Sujin bowed deeply: "Thank you for the help from Jianlou!"
Liu Junhong's face was grim, and he said, "We brought this sword tower, but because the owner is not here at the moment, this sword tower may not be able to hold up."
“Wow!”
The sword tower, which had shrunk into a pocket-sized size, fell out of Guanghe's hand.
This sword tower, like the "Lapis Lazuli Purifying World Divine Array", is also the most powerful array of the top sects and has always been the foundation of the sword tower's strength.
When the Pure Land was in danger, Guanghe and others not only came, but also brought this sword tower with them.
This is the greatest support for the Pure Land!
"That old dragon also has great hatred for your Sword Tower. What if he suddenly changes his target and heads towards the Qi Tian Continent from the Pure Land?" asked a Pure Land elder.
Guang He, who was always serious, curled his lips slightly and sneered: "As long as the owner of the building is alive and Pang Jian is still alive, anything that Long Xiao did will be repaid by the dragon sons and grandsons of his dragon cave."
…
Both in Xirang Continent, Tianbao Sect.
Dreamy rays of firework light burst out from the volcano where the weapon-refining masters lived. Li Jie summoned the "Qilin Bell" and it emerged from the colorful flames.
"It's that damn old dragon again!"
"Back in the Demonic Abyss Continent, it was He who sent a fire dragon to secretly sneak in and try to ambush me in the Demonic Abyss!"
"If I hadn't run into Pang Jian, that level eight fire dragon could have really killed me."
Li Jie, who is tall but looks bloated, was shouting above the "Qilin Bell".
He shouted, "Liu Changlong! Elder Hong! Elder Guo! We and the Pure Land have been allies for many years. Why don't you step forward and do something?"
“Swish! Swish! Swish!”
Three old and frail elders emerged from different craters, each with a more solemn expression than the last.
“Li Jie, now is not the time for you to mess around!” Liu Changlong glared at him fiercely and said angrily: “Your father’s life or death is unknown, and your sister is missing. We in the Tianbao Sect simply don’t have the ability to confront that old dragon right now!”
"Boy, you are the future of our Tianbao Sect and the most talented weapon refiner. Don't get carried away!" Elder Hong scolded.
“Li Jie, don’t let the old dragon’s anger be transferred to our Tianbao Sect. Pei Yishan said that the old dragon might just want to vent his anger on the Pure Land before leaving Purgatory.” Elder Guo also advised kindly, saying: “At most, he would destroy the Pure Land’s protective formation and kill a few elders who he disliked.”
"He wanted to make some noise mainly because Su Wanrou had caused the poison disaster and killed too many members of the Ancient Demon Clan."
"Don't mess with Him!"
The three immortal elders of Tianbao Sect tried their best to persuade Li Jie not to act rashly.
"You guys keep hiding here, I want to go out and take a look!"
Li Jie didn't want to listen at all. He controlled the "Qilin Bell" and rushed out of Tianbao Sect and flew towards the Pure Land.
"Li Jie!"
"Get back here, kid!"
Below the "Qilin Bell", the elders of the Tianbao Sect and the elders of the Li Family were screaming like crazy.
…
"call!"
Dong Shangqing, surrounded by countless talismans, suddenly appeared in the void outside Xiran in the image of "God's Dharma Image". He communicated with Pei Yishan while flying quickly: "Are you really not coming?!"
"The guardian of the Rockshattered Land said that there is no need for both of us to take action this time." Pei Yishan responded calmly.
"If you and I don't take action, are we going to watch the Pure Land be conquered by him and watch the people in the Pure Land suffer?" Dong Shangqing said angrily.
"Don't worry, he's just venting his anger. The dragon cave is still there, and his dragon sons and grandsons are still there. Before figuring out the situation in the fifth realm, he will never dare to kill innocent people." Pei Yishen said calmly.
