Chapter 609: Chapter 335 Old Man Doesn’t Want to Die!_2

On the Heavenly God Star, Su Ping casually released two such treasures.

Instantly, a golden and glittering palace with a distinct Eastern cultural ambiance, covering tens of thousands of acres, appeared on a plain.

Inside the palace, the immense bronze doors of several towering warehouses, each reaching the height of kilometers, swung open, and hundreds, if not thousands, of bronze humanoid puppets, each at least a hundred meters tall, flew out.

Afterward, these bronze puppets, led by Golden Core Spiritual Beasts, charged towards the nearby Precious Metal Mountains and began to excavate.

Soon enough, chunks of initially refined ore were collected and continuously transported by the bronze puppets into the storehouses for further processing.

On another side of the palace, an Underground Palace emerged, resembling an inverted pyramid.

The latter plunged into a mountain range, directly crushing several small mountains and rooting itself deep underground.

Only the topmost layer of gray stone construction was exposed on the surface.

Puppets were also released from this Underground Palace.

Inside the palace were puppets shaped like earthworms.

While outside, bee-like puppets were released.

Meanwhile, on Water Blue Star, people like President Huang received the news and started setting up a precious metals trading company.

They were ready to help sell the metal slag that came from the Heavenly God Star after undergoing refining.

Those things had lost their value in the hands of the transcendent.

However, in the hands of Water Blue Star’s technological civilization, they were all genuine good stuff.

They were important raw materials for many expensive synthetic substances!

As long as the quantity could keep up, many laboratory products that could increase productivity would have the prerequisites to become widespread.

Once everything was on the right track,

Su Ping left a hundred Golden Core Spiritual Beasts to guard the Heavenly God Star and continue mining and purifying ore.

He then returned to the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree to continue refining the Sun, Moon, and Stars Map and to the peaceful days of fishing.

...

Immortal Cultivation World.

In the Upper Realm, within the Five Elements Realm.

Within the main peak of the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Sect.

An atmosphere of grim determination filled the entire mountain range.

It was because the Old Sect Master had been confirmed dead.

The entire sect had plunged into a state of tense war preparedness.

But when it rains, it pours.

The comprehensive check required for war preparedness exposed problems.

Quite a few youngsters had quietly become Evil Cultivators.

Some of them, sensing danger, decided to go all out and directly sacrificed their governed mortal cities to the Son of the Evil God.

This caused avatars of the Son of the Evil God to frequently appear within the Five Elements Realm.

And to make matters worse, the current genius of the Shui Family, which was one of the pillars of the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Sect, had also become an Evil Cultivator. After obtaining a significant power boost with the help of the Son of the Evil God and advancing to the Returning to Void Realm Cultivator,

he killed the Family Head of the Shui Family, stole the family’s trump card, escaped the Mountain Gate, and became a notorious demon within the Five Elements Realm.

There was even a looming threat to the very foundation of the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Sect.

After much reflection, the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Sect sought out the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect and, at great expense,

invited a high monk from the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect to set up an evil-expelling Big Array on the main peak.

And they hung an Ancient Buddha Relic high in the sky to transform into a Bodhisattva Dharma Aspect, shining over all directions.

They hoped no more Evil Cultivators would infiltrate and that if any disciples suddenly became Evil Cultivators, they could be promptly discovered and eradicated.

Normally,

such defensive measures would be sufficient for a large sect to endure the disaster of Evil Spirits for a long time.

Unfortunately, these were not normal circumstances.

About ten days after the demise of the Old Sect Master and Abbot Chimei,

the second wave of the Evil Qi Tide suddenly struck.

When the Evil Qi Tide arrived, Su Ping was alarmed and quickly returned to the Biyuan Realm. He deployed the Sun, Moon, and Stars Map to erect a space Barrier for defense,

making the Biyuan Realm the only Small World that did not exhibit any spatial rifts during the Evil Qi Tide.

At the same time, out of curiosity, Su Ping released his Primordial Spirit and made contact with the Evil Qi Tide, hoping to glean some vital information.

Through the perspective of the Primordial Spirit,

Su Ping could feel

that this Evil Qi Tide was even more fierce,

even mixing in mutated, super-large Evil Spirits within it, crashing along with the Evil Qi Tide against various Small Worlds.

Su Ping could see that fragile Small World membranes were directly shattered, causing the super-large Evil Spirits to fall onto the ground like meteors.

After which, those super-large Evil Spirits, each at least twenty thousand meters in size, started ravaging mountains, rivers, and streams,

and became a massive source of Evil Qi contagion.

While devouring a vast amount of the geographical matter, it also hatched a massive number of evil spirits.

These evil spirits spread across the surface of the entire small world like cancer cells, rapidly proliferating.

With the aid of the evil Qi, they ultimately worked from within and without, causing the defense of the small world to completely disintegrate.

Afterward, the small world with collapsed defenses was immediately targeted by the Sons of the Evil God, who let out a cheer and rushed over.

Some revealed their true form, opening their mouths wide to swallow an entire region of the Earth Veins.

Others sprouted tens of thousands of tiny mouths all over their bodies.

Then, with a rustling sound, they gnawed away at a region within the time it took an incense stick to burn, crushing it all before swallowing.

Still others transformed their hands into sharp blades, slicing through a region of the Earth Veins.

Spewing black liquid from their mouths that completely eroded the region, they then manipulated it like modeling clay in their hands.

Occasionally, they would add different materials from within their bodies into the mix.

In the end, the modeling clay turned into some kind of evil artifact; once it took shape, the Sons of the Evil God carefully nurtured it within their bodies.

The highlight of the feast was, obviously, the core Earth Veins where the world’s consciousness resided.

To fight for this core Earth Vein, the Sons of the Evil God even broke into infighting on the spot.

Ultimately, a robust Son of the Evil God arrived, chased away those fighting, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed the core Earth Veins alone.

Although the other Sons of the Evil God were annoyed, they had no better solution and reluctantly turned to head for other small worlds.

Hoping that the strong Son of the Evil God, having consumed a core Earth Vein, would no longer have the strength to continue devouring the next one,

and thus would give them an opportunity.

After witnessing the tragedy of this small world, Su Ping turned his gaze towards the small world representing the Upper Realm.

That small world was easy to find, the brightest in the dark void.

The fluctuations caused by the onslaught of the evil Qi Tide there were also the strongest.

As this wave of the Evil Qi Tide gradually came to its end,

Su Ping suddenly had a thought.

It was through the cats and dogs, the mice and birds he had deployed in the Upper Realm,

he discovered the outward appearance of the Upper Realm was still relatively intact.

However, internally it was already riddled with holes.

The various conditions were far more severe than last time.

Even because three Returning to Void Great Powers had fallen in the Biyuan Realm,

this time, the Upper Realm also exhibited a reluctance to fully exert itself while combating the Evil Qi Tide.

The pace at which some spatial cracks were repaired was also nowhere near as assertive as before.

The major powers all feared the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

After some thought, Su Ping tore a Teleportation Talisman and headed for the Upper Realm.

There wasn’t much time left.

Su Ping planned to intensify the pressure on the Upper Realm,

accelerating his process of acquiring resources from the Upper Realm,

and to then quickly find the Heaven-reaching Ancient Tree Jianmu in the great world.

In the Upper Realm, within the territory of the Sky Flipping Sect.

The Sect Master of the Sky Flipping Sect was in a state of internal turmoil.

Seeing the unending influx of evil spirits outside,

his thoughts were not on how to resist the evil spirits, nor on finding another way out for the sect.

Instead, he contemplated whether to harden his heart and sacrifice all the mortals, becoming a lackey to the Sons of the Evil God?

The Sky Flipping Sect was considered one of the renowned, major sects in the Upper Realm.

Although ranked last, it still relied on the sect’s heritage to secure several rights in the Lower Realms.

However, as the evil spirits invaded, due to the lack of powerful members and the uniqueness of their location,

they suffered heavy losses in the Evil Qi Tide.

This led to them gradually losing control over their own territory within the Immortal Sect Territory,

prompting different thoughts in the Sect Master’s mind.

He had already relocated the mortals nearby and the small sects that depended on their sect for survival to the sect’s headquarters.

When others learned of this, they believed the Sect Master of the Sky Flipping Sect to be compassionate, unwilling to see the weak perish at the mouths of evil spirits.

However, the Sect Master of the Sky Flipping Sect knew in his heart,

that the order he had given was because he had come into contact with the evil spirits and evil cultivators,

and he had learned about the knowledge of sacrifice.

Thus, he planned to gather materials for his eventual submission to the Evil God.

"Alas!"

"Be that as it may, becoming an Evil Cultivator isn’t so bad,"

"Isn’t it just about controlling life and death? It’s still better than being utterly annihilated in a great catastrophe."

"Taoist friends, I’m sorry... this old man does not wish to die; I want to live!"
