Chapter 328 Starlight

To the Lunar Temple on Ya Qi Mountain, this period of time wasn't very comfortable.

Naturally, they were still the sacred lands that the Confucian scholars of the world had squeezed through their foreheads and wanted to see one or two of them.

However, as the most important hall of the Lunar Temple, the Phoenix Arrival Pavilion, which was both a meeting place and a library, was shrouded in darkness.

Of course, the darkness here was not a reference or a metaphor.

It was indeed a world of darkness.

As if it had been cut by some sort of power, the Phoenix Arrival Pavilion seemed to be so out of place with the white jade-piled College.

Sunlight cannot enter, nor can wind and rain pass through.

Even time seemed to have stopped at that time. The black Phoenix Arrival Pavilion and Lunar Temple were infected, and everything outside of Lunar Temple seemed to be two different worlds.

Thus, this Phoenix Arrival Pavilion became a purulent wound in the Lunar Palace that looked like a paradise.

Rumors began to spread in the Lunar Temple, and even these Confucian scholars who were untainted in the eyes of the world couldn't help but discuss this matter one after another.

After all, whether it was from the current appearance of the Phoenix Arrival Pavilion or the aura it emitted from time to time, it couldn't help but make people think of some words that they weren't willing to mention, or even faintly taboo.

Of course, this message was quickly suppressed.

This was not an easy task for an emperor in the mortal world, but it was extremely simple for the Lunar Temple.

Six hundred years of rule by a high and mighty immortal was enough to entrench certain ideas, even if they were wrong, even if the immortal seemed to never appear again.

Yes, Daoist Supreme hasn't appeared since that battle.

It was a battle that they had witnessed before. No, no one really dared to watch the battle. They could only feel the terrifying might of the battle from afar, and it was enough to make the hearts of the Lunar Temple's Confucian scholars jump.

It was precisely because of this that they had no way of knowing the outcome of that battle.

However, the protagonist of that battle had never appeared again since then.

The Phoenix Arrival Pavilion was cut out of this world, and a broken saber stood at the junction of the two worlds, like a gate between the life and death of a god guardian. It was difficult for the people outside to get inside, and it seemed that the people inside could no longer escape from the heavens.

Until…

In the world south of Ya Qi Mountain, a burst of purple red light shone from the kingdom called Great Zhou.

The saber standing in front of the Phoenix Arrival Pavilion suddenly began to tremble.

Waves of saber cries that seemed to be sobbing suddenly spread out from the saber's body. The Confucian scholars who were deducing everything in Lunar Temple were all attracted by this phenomenon and rushed towards them.

At that time, the scene they saw was that the long saber called Morning and Twilight trembled and seemed to be invincible to something that they could not see. Cracks like poisonous snakes spread out from the blade. After struggling for a while, he finally turned into a streak of light and fled into the distance.

However, before the Confucian scholars could regain their senses, the tightly shut door of the Phoenix Arrival Pavilion suddenly opened automatically. At that moment, a black shadow abruptly flew out and similarly fled into the distance.

The direction they were heading towards was without exception where the violet dragon qi rose!

At this moment, an unclear scholar looked at the person in charge of the current Lunar Temple, Meng Chengsheng, the handsome young man who had received Mo Chen Zi and the others back then.

The scholar raised his head to look at the horizon. His gaze was deep and he said softly, "The heavens have changed."

…

The dragon qi and vitality in Xu Han's body rapidly dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye. His aura gradually weakened, and correspondingly, the vitality in Qin Keqing's body continued to grow stronger. Even her complexion gradually turned red.

Everyone stared blankly at the situation in front of them, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

The situation was already reversing. Although the result was as expected, Xu Han's sacrifice made everyone present feel ashamed of themselves and felt guilty like a tidal wave.

But at the same time, there was no room to turn things around. Of course, they never thought of turning things around…

Xu Han no longer had the mood to pay attention to other people's thoughts. He waited for death to arrive. His heart was at ease, as if it was the end of an arduous journey. He even faintly carried a bit of relief after unloading the heavy burden.

But things in this world have never been as good as they seem to be.

Some had no way to survive, while others had no way to die.

Just as the life force and dragon qi in his body had dissipated, a boundless darkness suddenly appeared above the Wei Yang Palace like a ghost.

Everyone was shocked, and Xu Han was also shocked.

It was a dark cloud that covered the sky and covered the sun. It looked extremely abrupt, so abrupt that it was almost strange.

He didn't seem to intend to give the crowd any chance to react, At that moment, a burst of turbulence actually transformed into an ethereal figure. The huge figure suddenly opened a huge mouth of a blood basin. The dragon qi that lingered between Xu Han and Qin Keqing was actually being continuously gushed towards the black figure by the divine ability of the black figure.

This kind of change could be said to have caught everyone by surprise.

"Exactly who are you to stop our Tian Ce Mansion from acting and destroy our Great Zhou foundation? Do you want to be enemies with the world?" Mr. Lu stepped forward and raised his head to look at the figure who didn't know whether it was a person or a ghost.

"Hmph, the world? What does it count as?" The black figure let out a cold harrumph, and a powerful pressure spread out. Under that pressure, everyone's faces instantly turned pale, and they felt their internal breathing fluctuate. They were actually unable to exert any strength at that time.

Such a majestic might could be said to be unheard of by everyone. Even Sikong Bai , who was an immortal, 's expression changed drastically at that moment.

It was hard to imagine what kind of person would be able to emit such terrifying power in such a short period of time.

As for Xu Han, because he still had the Dragon Qi protecting him, he didn't feel any abnormality under the pressure that was enough to make the immortals lose their combat strength. However, he was surprised to discover that the black shadow couldn't help but devour their Dragon Qi, as if it was the same as the Dragon-Snake Twin Technique and their vitality.

If this continued, not to mention Xu Han, even Qin Keqing would not be able to escape the fate of being devoured and dying.

Since he chose to give up his life to leave a path for Qin Keqing, he naturally wouldn't allow the sudden appearance of the black shadow to disturb all of this.

Xu Han's eyes sank as he asked coldly, "Who are you?"

However, he had already activated the remaining strength in his body, preparing to unseal his right arm at any time and fight to the death with the black shadow.

"You are Xu Han?" The black shadow seemed to understand Xu Han quite well. He lowered his head, and his figure gradually condensed. He suddenly stretched out a hand and shook it at Xu Han. "That fellow who obtained the right arm of the Monster Lord Fei Lian?"

With this sound, Xu Han's heart trembled. He suddenly realized that his right arm seemed to have lost contact with him at that time, and he was unable to control it any longer.

"It's useless. I've already calculated everything clearly. There's nothing in this world that can't be concealed from me." The man's voice sounded again. His appearance appeared in front of everyone's eyes at that moment.

A handsome man dressed in a black robe looked down on the crowd like an immortal looking down on all living beings.

"What are you doing?" Xu Han felt the dragon qi and vitality in his body rapidly dissipate, and so did the girl beside him. If this continued for less than ten breaths, he and Qin Keqing would become the nourishment of this man, completely disappearing.

And Mr. Lu and the others couldn't even hope for anything under that pressure.

"As you can see, it's just a dragon devouring." The man said indifferently. His tone was cold and carried an innately arrogant aura.

Xu Han did not know who this man was.

He did not care who he was. He only felt the fading aura of the girl beside him, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

He was willing to let go of all the discontent and hatred. There was no reason for the righteousness of life. All he wanted was for the girl who had given him a thread of life when his life was hanging on the line to survive.

For this reason, he didn't hesitate to give up his life.

However, there were still people who came to interfere with such a small wish.

Despair.

An indescribable despair gushed out from his limbs and bones, filling his body.

He looked up at the man who suddenly appeared and asked softly, "Why?"

The man did not seem to have noticed Xu Han's unusual situation. He smiled faintly, "It's like a shepherd of a border people. No matter how well he raised it, it was for the harvest of the slaughter at that moment."

"The world is a pasture, and I am the shepherd who harvests it."

"There's no reason. The strong eat the weak. It's the same in ancient times."

The man only spoke casually, but every word struck Xu Han's chest.

Weak meat…

Gluttony…

This was naturally not the first time Xu Han had heard of these four words, but he now had a deeper understanding of them.

It seemed that the weak didn't even have the right to die.

It seemed that the weak didn't even have the qualifications to risk their lives to protect what they wanted to protect.

A world like this…

Is there really a need to exist?

Bang!

At that moment, something in Xu Han's body suddenly shattered.

His body began to tremble, and darkness suddenly appeared in his eyes, instantly infecting his entire eyes.

An incomparably dark and gloomy aura rose from his body, carrying with it hatred and despair for all living beings in this world. It was as if there was a gateway to hell within Xu Han's body that he had never known had been opened, and evil spirits poured out of his nest.

…

"Uncle Ning, hurry up." Su Mu'an anxiously urged Ning Zhumang beside him. They could clearly feel the terrifying energy fluctuations coming from the palace. This undoubtedly showed how difficult Xu Han's situation was at this moment.

Ning Zhumang bitterly smiled as he gritted his teeth and followed the youth. Logically speaking, as a Great Evolution Realm cultivator, he shouldn't be so unbearable. However, ever since that black figure appeared above Chang'an, he felt that his True Essence had suddenly slowed down. On the contrary, Su Mu'an, whose cultivation was only at the Netherpassage Realm, seemed to be fine and continued to attack as usual.

'"No." Ning Zhumang opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

However, when his words reached his mouth, his body suddenly trembled and his face suddenly turned pale. He felt a terrifying aura that he had never felt before.

The shock that the aura brought him was not about strength or weakness, but only about the despair and grief that it carried.

He subconsciously looked at the youth in front of him and saw that Su Mu'an , who was still in a hurry, had also stopped at that time. From his expression, Ning Zhumang knew that he had also sensed that terrifying aura.

The two exchanged glances and were about to say something.

That gloomy and cold aura surged over again, covering the sky and almost drowning the entire world.

Under that aura, the two of them only felt sufferings in their breathing, much less say anything else.

The entire Chang'an City, or the entire world, fell silent at that moment. It was as if the entire world was trembling at the sudden rise of this gloomy and cold aura.

Something terrifying seemed to be about to awaken from tens of thousands of years of deep slumber.

Zheng!

However, at that moment, the normally silent sword on Su Mu'an 's back suddenly let out a loud sword cry.

Then, the blade of the sword shook and turned into a streak of light that exploded in the direction of the Pu Tian Palace.

Something seemed to light up on the dome that was already dim.

Su Mu'an raised her head in a daze and looked up into the sky.

In the dark sky, there were several streaks of starlight that shot down. It was as if they had traveled an infinite distance through time and space before arriving here. The starlight was leisurely and resplendent.

Su Mu'an subconsciously counted.

That starlight wasn't much, it just happened to be seven…
