The darkness faded, and the sky shimmered.

The mist still shrouded the earth, with a strong fairy aura.

Whether it is mountains and rivers, or forests and plains, they are full of the tension of life.

The floating boat sails above the clouds, and the surface is lit up from time to time, like a swimming fish swimming happily in the sea.

There were also flocks of spirit birds passing by, casting curious glances at the flying boats from time to time.

Below, there is a vast plain as far as the eye can see.

There are many large and small cities.

All avenues extend in all directions.

It is a scene of prosperity and prosperity.

The spirit boat passed through a cloud and sailed forward for some distance, before suddenly starting to descend in altitude.

And no longer flying in a straight line as before, but drawing a curved arc, far avoiding the lone mountain that stood in the middle of the plain in front of him.

The mountain is like a sword, straight into the sky.

From a distance, it does not look like a naturally formed landscape, but more like a scabbard inserted into the earth by a god.

At the top of the peak is a splendid palace complex, where the bright light of the Tao gathers in one place, forming a splendid belt of light like a swimming dragon, flying around the peak, looking at it as if a miracle has descended on the manifestation of the world.

As the distance approached, everyone on the spirit boat straightened their clothes, knelt down against the peak, and saluted respectfully with their hands on their foreheads.

At the top of Sword Mountain, on the terrace of the main hall near the cliff, there stood a tall old man.

He was dressed in a white robe, surrounded by three pairs of white wings, reflecting a gorgeous divine luster in the rising sun, looking like an angel dwelling in the sky, coming to earth on this quiet and peaceful morning.

Around the old man, spirit runes flickered and loomed, winding around his body.

The mountains are quiet, and the runes are moving.

If you look closely, it is like the stars twinkling and changing, and the movement and stillness seem to contain the truth, and the true meaning of the rules of the operation of the realm.

The old man stretched his wings behind his back, slowly looking down, his eyes piercing the clouds and mist, and taking in the vast plains.

A moment later, he extended his gaze outward, landing at the end of the distant sky, and the whole person was also in thought at this time.

The spirit boat flew under the mountainside, and it was not until it was dozens of miles away that everyone bowed to the holy mountain again before they stood up one after another.

There are also more devout believers, who still maintain a kneeling posture, and before they know it, they have burst into tears.

This is the central holy mountain, the guardian temple, just like the needle of the sea god, blessing the safety of the entire heaven and earth.

Not only did he repel the enemies that came from the outer realms a long time ago, but he even took the opportunity to shine the light of the holy mountain, making more than one heaven and earth realm a vassal land, bringing unparalleled resources and wealth to the Lingxuan realm.

And the old man standing on the terrace overlooking all living beings is the guardian of the Holy Mountain Temple, and the strongest person in the entire realm.

Whether it was an ordinary mortal or an extraordinary monk, they all respected him like a god and did not dare to have the slightest blasphemy.

The old man withdrew his gaze and turned to look in the direction of the main entrance of the main hall.

There was a flash of silver light, followed by the click of the temple door being opened.

A young man in silver armor with two pairs of wings growing on his back walked slowly, kneeling on one knee and saluting respectfully ten steps from the terrace.

"Lord Guardian, the Heavenly Watchman's analysis of the breath coming from the Taixu Spirit Realm and the Endless Sea of Blood has already come to a result, and the approximate location where the two appeared and disappeared.

In addition to this, there is a more urgent situation to report, a marginal realm under our control suddenly lost all contact just half an hour ago. ”

"The subordinate has asked the liaison officer to reconfirm whether there is a problem with the transmission of information, or if something has happened to the marginal realm and is out of our control."

At this, the young man raised his head and showed a beautiful face full of heroism.

Waiting for the metaphor of the old man in front of him.

Little by little, time passed.

The Guardian remained silent.

He even withdrew his gaze and cast his gaze into the distance at the end of the sky.

It was as if there was some fatal attraction hidden there, and even the loss of contact with a vassal realm could not attract his attention in the slightest.

"Guardian ......"

"Do your subordinates want the temple to prepare supplies in advance, and after the news is confirmed, they can carry out a counterinsurgency expedition at any time."

The young man waited for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask.

But even so, her voice was very soft, for fear of disturbing the old man's thinking.

"I already know about it."

The old man sighed slowly, but when he spoke again, he said something irrelevant.

"Come, come and enjoy this beautiful morning view with me."

The rising sun reflects the earth, and the plains below are lush and green, forming a magnificent picture of tranquility and serenity.

It's just that there seems to be a faint appearance at the end of the sky, and although it still looks very inconspicuous, it also adds a touch of dissonance to this tranquility.

A little doubt flashed in the eyes of the silver-armored girl, and she looked at it from afar along the old man's outstretched hand.

She looked closely, felt deeply, but didn't notice anything special at all.

Except for the vague gloom, it was completely indistinguishable from the view seen from the top of the mountain countless times before.

Even the dark color seemed to her to be nothing more than rain clouds formed by weather changes, and it was not worth making a fuss about at all.

However, since it was the Guardian Lord who asked her to see it, she could only restrain her thoughts and hold her breath to observe further, perhaps she could really find some realizations from it, which would be of great benefit to her next practice.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps came from far and near.

Soon they came to the temple where the two of them were.

Immediately afterwards, a thick middle-aged man's voice sounded, sounding faintly worried and anxious.

"Lord Guardian, Your Highness the Holy Son, just now two more vassal realms lost contact, no matter how much we try, we can't ...... it."

The old man didn't look back, just waved his hand slightly, "I know, you go down first." ”

The middle-aged man took the order, and silence returned to inside and outside the temple.

"Lord Guardian, about the loss of contact with the Vassals......"

After hesitating for a moment, the silver-armored girl couldn't help but speak again, but just after saying a few words, she was interrupted again by the old man.

"Don't think about anything else that is extraneous, it's important to enjoy the beautiful scenery in front of you."

The old man shook his head, and sighed secretly, "Maybe it won't be long before I have a chance to see it again." ”

The loss of contact with at least three subordinate heaven and earth realms has become an inconsequential matter?

You must know that in the past, the Guardian Lord had already ordered the expeditionary legion to be dispatched, and all those who dared to rebel must be killed.

It is unlikely that this is the way it is now.

More importantly, what does his old man's last sentence mean?

What does it mean that it won't be long before you never have the chance to see the beauty in front of you?

Could it be that the realm of cultivation is far beyond the boundary, and the guardian lord who has a long life has reached the limit of his life!?

How is this possible, it is simply impossible to happen!

She didn't dare to imagine what unpredictable changes would happen if the Guardian Lord was not there, it would be equivalent to the collapse of the pillar that supported the supremacy of the Xuan Spirit Realm.

"What do you mean ......"

The silver-armored girl's heart tightened suddenly, and her voice trembled uncontrollably.

"Everything that once flourished will eventually come to an end, and you have not yet reached the same height as mine, so you cannot see the impending destruction and death through the quiet and peaceful appearance before you."

The old man finally retracted his gaze and slowly closed his eyes, "You are the disciple of the Holy Mountain that I value the most, and your talent and qualifications are among the best among the younger generation.

If that time comes, the entire Xuanling Realm may be able to go further than it is now, reaching unprecedented heights and brilliance, which is also my greatest wish and expectation in recent years.

However, it is impossible, everything has become delusions and illusions, and all that is left is the emptiness of the shattered aftermath. ”

The silver armor girl's face changed suddenly, and in addition to disbelief, there was indescribable surprise and confusion in her eyes.

In a state of agitation, she even disregarded her dignity and humility, and suddenly got up from the floor of the main hall, and asked to the end when she was punished, trying to find out what happened to make the guardian who was like a god so pessimistic.

But in the next moment, before she could speak, she froze there without warning, her eyes glazed over towards the end of the sky.

The darkness that was originally undetectable and almost non-existent occupied almost the entire horizon in an instant.

And it is still spreading madly in all directions at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few breaths, half of the sky was completely covered.

It's like splitting the whole sky in two, half of it is pitch black, and the other half is still shining with bright sunshine.

The sacred mountain, which stands in the middle of the plain, is exactly at the dividing line between light and dark.

Or even more accurately, taking the position where she was standing, one step to the left was gloomy, and one step to the right was the sun, such an unbelievably eerie sight.

The wind is blowing.

At first, there was still a light breeze blowing in the face, disturbing the clouds.

In an instant, the wind was howling and howling.

Coming from the end of the increasingly gloomy and gloomy sky, sweeping the heavens and the earth like a steel knife scraping bones, whether it was a dense forest or a huge city, it was instantly torn apart and destroyed, turning into flying fragments.

Rumble!!!

The glow of the Dao rose from the interior of the sacred mountain, resisting the howling wind.

But after only a few moments, the bright light had dimmed.

After only holding on for a very short time, it was on the verge of collapse.

"This, what the hell is this ......"

"What the hell is going on with this great horror that destroys the world!?"

The silver-armored girl's throat surged, and she was covered in cold sweat.

It's like being banned from cultivating, stripping off the holy armor, and throwing people into the Extreme North Sea Eye, from the ends of your hair to your heels, a desperate cold.

"Although it seems to be a foregone conclusion, I am the guardian of Lingxuan, and I can't sit back and watch them die."

The old man took a deep breath, and a few more wrinkles quietly appeared on his eyebrows, as if he had aged for decades in an instant.

He raised his hand slowly, and in his palm came an ancient and worn scepter, the surface of which was already covered with fine cracks, as if it would turn into shards scattered all over the ground at the slightest touch.

As soon as the ancient scepter appeared, it was as if a desolate aura from ancient times filled the entire holy mountain.

Boom!

Knock knock!

It sounded like a gulp of water.

Even though the wind was sharp and howling, it clearly reached the ears of the silver-armored girl.

The scepter was devouring the essence of life, and suddenly burst into the sky with golden light.

The silver-armored girl came back to her senses suddenly, and watched the old man's body visibly dry down, and the surprise and fear in her heart instantly reached its peak.

"Let's go."

"I can open a separate teleportation channel for you, and send you out of here before the destruction comes, as long as you can live forever, you can continue the inheritance of the holy mountain, and it can be regarded as leaving a thought, waiting for the day of resurrection."

The old man's voice sounded weak and tired, but more of it was calm and calm after the cold and resolute.

Swish!!!

As if holding a heavy object, he slowly swung his scepter, completely forcing away the violent turbulence around the holy mountain, and opening a crack at the top of the peak that slowly opened.

The chasm was empty and empty, and I didn't know where it connected to the dark void.

"Let's go!"

The old man let out a low cry, grabbed the arm of the silver-armored girl, and was about to throw her towards the rift.

But at this moment, there was a crisp click, like thunder bursting open the void passage in the rift.

In his suddenly gloomy gaze, the crack exploded without warning, and it didn't even take more than a snap of a finger from the moment it appeared to the time it broke.

"I can't go, this is your life, and maybe it's also the final destination of our holy mountain."

The old man sighed, his pupils suddenly contracted inward, staring at the depths of the rift, his eyes reflecting a certain fleeting and monstrous body, enveloping the storm of time and space that destroyed everything, and had enveloped the entire heaven and earth realm.

There was a sudden flower in front of him, and the terrifying demon beyond imagination disappeared without a trace, inexplicably transforming into a young man in white clothes and white robes, looking inward from the depths of the shattered and disappearing rift.

It felt like a person was looking through the cracks in a glass bottle, looking inside for everything inside.

"This level of power, the space-time storm that swept through the Dark Void, was actually formed because of a single person, rather than a natural destruction cataclysm!?"

"I was praised by my teacher as the first talent, the first mind, and the first comprehension in the Xuanling realm, and I have been cultivating hard since I was a child, not only stepping on the peak step by step, but even breaking through the barriers with the blessing of the resources of many subsidiary realms, and reaching the enlightened divine realm that has never been seen before, and perhaps no one has ever come after.

I thought that even if I returned to the Ancient True Realm, I would be able to have a foothold among the many great cultivators, but I never expected that after the True Realm was shattered, such a terrifying powerful cultivator could survive, and appeared in front of me with the power of destruction and calamity. ”

The old man held the scepter tightly in his hand, and the whole person had been almost completely sucked dry.

In exchange, the entire holy mountain rose from the ground.

Like a true Heavenly Sacred Sword, its entire body shone with an extremely cold light.

At this moment, the man, the scepter, and the holy mountain merged into one place, and burst out with the power of the heavens and the earth, and stabbed straight towards the sky.

Through the cracked chasm, the last sight the old man saw was that the young man was slowly opening his mouth, as if he was about to bite forward.

Syllable!

The boundary barrier is like a soap bubble, shattered in an instant.

The Holy Mountain Divine Sword slashed through countless oncoming terrifying tentacles and continued to slash upward.

And as it rose, the will of heaven and earth was converging towards the tip of the sword at the peak, vowing to burst out with the strongest blow that gathered the power of the origin of the realm.

Rumble!!!

The Guardian's eyes suddenly went black, and all eyes were taken over by the sudden appearance of a giant black hole.

He also saw white peaks that were many times larger than the Holy Mountain, densely stacked on top of each other, filling the edges of the giant black hole.

"The young man, just opened his mouth."

"So, the black hole is his mouth, and the mountains are his sharp fangs."

When the old man thought of this, he suddenly laughed.

He really wanted to know if the strongest blow he had broken one of the opponent's teeth with his body as a sacrifice, with the holy mountain as a tool, and then gathered the will of heaven and earth together.

Click!!

The black hole closes, and the spike falls.

A storm of space-time turbulence swept by.

Only a pile of messy debris remained in the rear.

It's hard to believe that not so long ago, there was a realm full of life.

"Eating all the way is the most nutritious of this one, at least it can allow me to push the Chaos Law Body up to a higher level."

"Huh?"

"It's so hard, I think one of my teeth has been knocked out."

In the storm of time and space, Wei Tao slowly moved his body, and there were more half-amputated teeth in his hands.

He thought for a moment, swallowed the tooth straight into his mouth, and then tried to keep his eyes open as he searched for the next place to pass by.

As if at the end of the dark void.

A pair of eyes lit up silently.

Then a figure slowly stood up, reached out and gently pushed towards the space in front of him.

But there was a soft creaking sound, and it quietly swayed in the darkness.

The man stepped out, and a small courtyard appeared in front of him.

The courtyard is full of green grass and flowers, and it stands alone in the dark nothingness.

He walked on his feet, and came to the door of the somewhat old wooden house.

There was another soft squeak.

There seems to be a turbulent air current, bringing a faint musty smell out of the house.

He stood in front of the door and waited for a moment before he stepped up and entered the room, lit a half-broken white candle, and then began to clean the room.

Little by little, time passed.

The house is finally clean and tidy again.

It's just that it still looks like it's dilapidated and decaying.

He poured a cup of hot tea and brought it to his lips to drink slowly, savoring the lingering aroma of bitterness.

"Sealed and imprisoned by the storm of time and space and the power of annihilation, that guy's breath of life actually rose instead of falling, and he really sat up in a dying dream, which completely exceeded my inference and expectations."

He exhaled slowly, and a thick puzzled expression appeared between his eyebrows, "Such a monster, he must be killed at all costs, otherwise I will definitely suffer a catastrophe and lose my life at the most critical time." ”
