The yellow sand unfolds in front of you like a huge picture, and the golden sand dunes stretch unevenly into the distance, all the way to the horizon, and all the dazzling colors are yellow.

The sun is shining on your head, and it's extremely hot.

Gu Xiaozhao was dressed in green clothes and walked slowly in the desert.

From a distance, he did move slowly, as if he was walking on the shore of a lake, but in fact, his speed was not as it seemed on the surface, he was ten feet away in one step, and his feet were as if they had never touched the ground, and he did not leave a trace on the sand, not only footprints, but also the slightest breath, even if he pulled the world's most sensitive hound with a sense of smell here, he could not find his breath.

The sun is shining and the weather is scorching, especially at this midday.

Gu Xiaozhao didn't wear a hat to block the sun on his head, nor did he have a face towel to block the wind and sand on his face, for him, the sun, the heat, the wind and sand and the like were not enough to worry about, just a trace of thought around him lightly, and there was no need to even use the Gang Qi or magic powers, as long as the spiritual power was directly released, he could block the heat, wind and sand, and the sun three feet away from his body.

At his current level, his spiritual power can already directly act on the real world.

And this, even the saints in the bloodline inhumans can't do it, they can't directly act their spiritual power on the real world, and they always need some small means and skills, such as supernatural spells, such as bloodline spells.

From a certain point of view, Gu Xiaozhao's level is already above the bloodline.

It's just that at this stage, the resources he can use are far inferior to those saints among the bloodline aliens, so he can't confront them head-on, but it's very simple to avoid without fighting, and those people can't help him, unless they set a trap, besiege it by many people, and take Gu Xiaozhao off guard.

Of course, this is basically impossible.

The so-called autumn wind has not moved the cicada, even ordinary bloodline aliens will be alert in the face of danger, and they must use a lot of resources to exert their magical powers in order to hide the other party, but at the moment when the danger comes, even if you cover up the heavenly opportunity, he will have an ominous omen.

For Gu Xiaozhao, even if these bloodline aliens use magic powers, they don't want to cover up the heavens, once there is a danger that is unfavorable to him, he has his own perception, and it is difficult to fall into the trap, unless he is willing, otherwise it is basically impossible to ambush Gu Xiaozhao.

I don't know how many sand dunes he has climbed, Gu Xiaozhao has been walking forward, sometimes straight, sometimes left, sometimes right, sometimes even backwards, it seems to be aimless, but in fact it is not, he has always been walking in one direction, towards a destination, the reason why it is so in sight is just that human vision is disturbed by some strange magnetic field.

He had entered the periphery of the Great Array.

This temple array covers an extremely large area, however, it has never actually existed in the real world, so it is impossible for you to find it in the desert without a special method.

With the passage of time, coupled with the battle of those aliens, although the temple still exists in a special space, the great array is close to collapsing, therefore, there is a breath seeping out, and there is a so-called forbidden area in the middle of this death desert, which is equivalent to the edge of the great array.

The temple is becoming more and more connected to the real world.

Originally, because of the existence of the temple, the space-time rift here was blocked in the void and was not connected to the real world, but now, with the fusion of the temple and the real world, the space-time rift will follow, and the crack is getting bigger and bigger, and the breath that penetrates from the dark world is getting stronger and stronger, and even, monsters with powerful power are appearing more and more in this world.

Today, this desert of death is gradually expanding.

In the past, it may be a radius of 180,000 li, but now, it may become 190,000 li, and after a while, it will be 200,000 li, this expansion rate is getting faster and faster, many small towns have become ruins and are swallowed by the desert, and after a while, even the two states of Ganliang will disappear and become a part of the desert.

It was not impossible for the powers of the Smoke and Rain Temple and the Great Black Sky to see this scene, however, they were powerless to stop it.

Even if they could, they wouldn't do it.

If they want to stop the expansion of the desert, then every fifty years when the gate of the temple is opened, not only can they not go in to hunt for treasures, but they must also sacrifice their own flesh and blood outside the large array to worship the gods, so that the large array that maintains the temple can continue to operate, so that the rift in time and space cannot expand.

This kind of sacrifice is not just one or two people, and often costs the lives of dozens of people, even saints.

If you think about it with your feet, you know that these guys can't do it.

Since they couldn't do it, they might as well simply enter the temple to hunt for treasures and resources, even if doing so would cause the big array to collapse faster, they would not hesitate to do so.

In this world, many of the large arrays set up by the ancient gods with blood are still functioning normally, and most of these large arrays are in the Jiangnan area of the Central Plains, and there are powerful bloodline families with a long tradition in these places, because they know the power of the dark world, they are also trembling and maintaining them.

There are also some large arrays that are no longer functioning, and the temples in the large arrays have collapsed, and the divine blood enshrined in them has either been polluted by the dark world, or stolen by people with ulterior motives.

As a result, the rift in time and space was completely opened, the breath of the dark world completely seeped out, and the entire area had been polluted by darkness, with no sunlight, no rain, and no cycle of seasons all year round.

These places are called dead places, and the danger level is still above the forbidden area.

In addition, there are temples that are still struggling to support themselves before they completely collapse, such as this one in the Desert of Death.

Compared to the other temples that are collapsing, this one in the Death Desert will not be able to exist for long, and it is even very likely that it will completely get out of control and turn into dust when it is opened up this time.

This is the reason why Gu Xiaozhao chose this place as his first target.

Those dead places, with Gu Xiaozhao's current cultivation, if he wants to completely close the space-time rift, he can only be powerless.

As for those well-functioning large arrays, most of them are under the control of powerful bloodline families, they have absorbed the power of the temple, and they are also maintaining the operation of the large array, preventing the dark aura from penetrating from the other side of the space-time rift, of course, what they can do is only to stop, but not to completely close the space-time rift.

Even their former masters, the ancient gods, did not have the ability to close the space-time rift, and naturally they did not.

The reason why I didn't choose these places is simple.

For the time being, Gu Xiaozhao didn't want to have a conflict with these powerful bloodline families, and if he wanted to close those space-time rifts, he wouldn't be able to avoid this kind of conflict.

Not an ordinary conflict, but an existential war.

Once Gu Xiaozhao gains control of the temple and closes the space-time rift, the ancient divine power will disappear, and the secret realm that exists because of the temple will no longer exist, just like the vines that have been cut off from the big tree, and the reason why the bloodline aliens can exist is the secret realm.

There is no secret realm, and there is no bloodline.

In this case, those guys naturally had to fight to the death with Gu Xiaozhao.

Therefore, Gu Xiaozhao first chose this kind of temple that was collapsing without family control, once he gained control of the temple, he would be able to get more information from the cyan nebula, and get more powerful power, and only then would he have the strength to fight with a more powerful enemy.

In the end, the goal of completely closing the space-time rift and making the Heavenly Dao operate normally was achieved.

In this way, others will be able to attain Great Perfection and be at ease!

In this way, we can be detached!

Now, he had entered the Great Array, and the breath leaking from the temple distorted the entire space of the real world, on the surface, there was a golden desert in front of him, but in fact, this scene was just a projection, but an illusion.

It's just that this illusion can't hide from Gu Xiaozhao.

Although Gu Xiaozhao opened his eyes, he never looked at it with his eyes, he was guided by divine thoughts, and the existence of the temple was like a full moon in the dark night to him, too eye-catching to hide.

Standing on top of a sand dune, Gu Xiaozhao's figure suddenly froze.

He was silent for a moment, then reached forward and grabbed the void in front of him, like lifting a curtain hanging in front of the door, and gently lifted it to one side.

The next moment, the world twisted, like a puddle of water that had been dropped from a stone, and ripples.

A golden light rushed towards him, but in an instant, it was swallowed up by the darkness, and after a while, it pierced out of the darkness again, and in an instant, the golden light and darkness alternated, like a brilliant portrait.

Not long after, the portrait disappeared abruptly.

Gu Xiaozhao took a step forward and came to the hill.

It was a black hill perched atop a gray wasteland, the edge of which was shrouded in gray mist with no end in sight.

Gu Xiaozhao stood in front of the hill and looked at the black hill in silence.

There were voices echoing in the wasteland, one at a time, very rhythmic, like thunder, like a tsunami, and the space trembled slightly, like an earthquake descending.

In front of Gu Xiaozhao, the black hill suddenly changed.

Xiaoshan's body shook, and a big hole suddenly appeared in the peak, like an open giant mouth, and Xiaoshan suddenly collapsed towards Gu Xiaozhao, opening his mouth to swallow him.

Gu Xiaozhao was not surprised, nor panicked, he took a step forward in silence and slapped his palm on the hill.

It's like patting the railing in front of you while looking at the distant scenery.

The next moment, all the sounds were gone.

The huge black hill suddenly turned into many black points of light, disintegrating and disappearing, and so did the entire gray desert, turning into points of light, completely shattering like a mirror that fell to the ground.

Gu Xiaozhao's figure flickered and appeared in another space.
