Chapter 419 But He Cares (9000, Part 1)

The interior of the Zhenling Pagoda (Soul Suppression Pagoda) was incredibly vast. The bottom floor had a radius of seventy-five meters, forming a giant octagonal hall with a steel beam column emitting a faint blue fluorescent light standing in the center.

Standing at the edge of the hall, rows upon rows of metal cabinets radiating out in all directions like spiderwebs, with the beam column as the axis, came into view. These cabinets were arranged in more than a dozen layers, hundreds of densely packed rectangular arrays, filling almost all the space in the hall.

Inside the transparent cabinets, a light red culture solution pulsed slowly like blood. Tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of Qingqiu people were immersed in these culture tanks. Their bodies were covered with ice-blue spiritual power threads, which penetrated their flesh and formed a web-like network inside their bodies.

Spiritual power would occasionally surge out of these Qingqiu people and converge on the central beam column of the Zhenling Pagoda. At other times, the central beam column would send a wave of spiritual power back into the bodies of the Qingqiu people. Each 'breath' would stir up a faint blue spiritual tide throughout the hall, an invisible and intricate net made of spiritual power, connecting all the Qingqiu people to the entire Zhenling Pagoda.

"This, what is this?!"

Tang Yuan exclaimed in shock the first moment. Of course, it wasn't a real sound, but rather a manifestation of astonishment in the spiritual power transmission: "How can there be so many Qingqiu people, and they're all trapped in these jars?!"

Gu Zechuan, on the other hand, opened his mouth wide. He looked around at his compatriots in shock, surveying the overwhelmingly shocking scene, momentarily speechless.

All the Qingqiu people soaking in the jars were naked, but no one could glean any eroticism from it. The human bodies were like luncheon meat soaking in cans, and a strong sense of treating people like livestock welled up in their hearts.

What's more, the Qingqiu people in the jars were mostly not 'complete'.

Unlike the other two, who were shocked and disgusted by this and subconsciously looked away, Su Zhou, while equally disgusted, meticulously scanned every detail of each Qingqiu person's body.

He could see that, except for children in their infancy, some adults in their prime, and a very few elderly people, the bodies of most Qingqiu people were missing a part.

Some were missing both hands, some were missing both legs, and some simply had no limbs at all. The elderly Qingqiu people were even more so; their bodies were riddled with holes, leaving only the most basic life-sustaining organs.

Su Zhou could even see that some culture tanks were crammed with a swarm of more than a dozen brains, each brain like a jellyfish, undulating in the solution.

"Spiritual power."

As if devoid of emotion, Su Zhou calmly determined why the bodies of those Qingqiu people were incomplete: "Those intact adult Qingqiu people have considerable spiritual talent – their bodies are biological spiritual power furnaces. Those ice-blue spiritual power meridians are manipulating their bodies to 'cultivate'."

"Those Qingqiu people who have been stripped of their flesh, their talents are not high, and the spiritual power produced is not worth the energy required to grow the flesh."

"As for those who only have brains left, they at least have souls, but only the souls are useful."

For Su Zhou, everything was very intuitive. He could see the ebb and flow of spiritual power. Almost all the bodies of those Qingqiu people had awakened high-level, even extraordinary-level, spiritual power cultivation. Even some teenagers in their teens had similar cultivation bases, which was like starting to cultivate from the womb.

This analogy wasn't even an exaggeration – because Su Zhou saw that those Qingqiu people in their infancy had indeed begun to cultivate under the control of the cyan-blue threads, even infants were no exception.

As for those Qingqiu people who had been stripped of parts of their bodies, according to Su Zhou's judgment, a large part of their missing limbs had already been amputated at birth. Most of the remaining parts were those that could still gather some spiritual energy, such as... the stacked brains.

--Disgusting.

No, there was no time to feel disgusted yet.

"Follow me, Tang Yuan, Gu Zechuan, it's not time to feel disgusted yet - observe your surroundings carefully, we need to collect information."

Su Zhou calmly issued the order. Tang Yuan immediately followed him. Gu Zechuan was a step behind, but he also suppressed the feeling of oppression in his chest and continued to observe the surroundings with Su Zhou.

Then, they discovered that each cabinet actually had various labels made of spiritual power engraved below it.

[Combat Use Prosthetic Body - Common Grade]

In the culture tank with this label, a male adult Qingqiu person's body was floating. He had three tails and a cultivation base of about the early Extraordinary stage.

[Engineering Use Prosthetic Body - Common Grade]

Floating in the light red solution was also a male adult Qingqiu person with three tails. His body was more developed, but his cultivation base was lower.

[Combat Use Prosthetic Body - Elite Grade]

This was the body of a female Qingqiu person. She had as many as seven tails, and her hair was still the pure cyan color of the royal bloodline, which surprised Gu Zechuan – the Qingqiu people's talent was easy to judge. Few tails didn't necessarily mean low cultivation talent, but many tails definitely meant high talent. The seven-tailed royal Heavenly Fox bloodline was considered a promising material even in the ancient era of immortals and gods.

Her cultivation base was also the same - as high as the Extraordinary peak. If forced to grow, advancing to the Commander level would not be unusual.

Along the way, the three saw at least hundreds of culture tanks, and the grading of the labels was mostly different and varied, but it could be considered traceable.

If the physical strength was strong and the cultivation talent was not high, it could be labeled 'Engineering Use'. If the cultivation talent was high, it would be divided into 'Combat Use' and 'Spiritual Power Production Use'.

The latter, as the name suggests, was specifically used to produce spiritual power - of course, not all Spiritual Power Production Use labels represented high talent. This was a general-purpose label.

In addition, there were more unsightly labels... [Reproductive Use] [Bloodline Reserve] [Hybrid Sample]. These labels were common operations, and the Qingqiu people in the labels such as [Limb Warehouse] [Transplant Sample] and even [Mutation Reference] didn't even have a human form, just a twisted mass of flesh and limbs.

"Ugh..."

Tang Yuan let out a dry retch, his face pale. He considered himself an experienced veteran who had seen strong winds and waves, had undergone tests in the Security Bureau, and had seen many terrifying scenes. But at this time, he realized that the ugliness he had faced before was just the violence that humans had done to humans.

He had never experienced the real, mercilessness that transcended human wisdom.

"Damn... Damn it!"

On the other hand, Gu Zechuan, who was as white as paper at first and whose lips were trembling, gradually calmed down the more he went on. After all, this armored warrior, who had long guessed what was inside the Zhenling Pagoda and had indeed witnessed too much bloody rain, even gritted his teeth and became filled with anger.

Su Zhou was even more so. He didn't stop walking from beginning to end until he suddenly stopped at the end of the row of cabinets near the beam column.

[Nutritional Supplement]

The many bodies floating in the jar were still very young, but they had no spiritual talent, and their bones and muscles didn't seem very strong. Most importantly, they didn't even have souls. Ice-blue spiritual power meridians covered these bodies, and the flesh was gradually fading away, as if all the nutrients had been absorbed by the roots, and the bracts were gradually withering.

At this moment, Tang Yuan and Gu Zechuan felt that an extremely intimidating, destructive aura that seemed to devour everything around them emanated from Su Zhou for a moment.

But soon, this incomparably heart-palpitating pressure was withdrawn.

They heard Su Zhou muttering to himself in confusion: "Strange, if you want nutritional supplements, you don't need to eat people at all. Isn't it better to raise meat pigs and grow food? Why must you eat people?"

"Humans aren't pigs, and their meat production isn't high... Oh, I get it."

This calm question carried an extremely pure confusion, and Su Zhou suddenly understood after thinking for a moment: "That's right, it's not that they don't grow and cultivate dedicated sources of nutrition, it's just that if they want to produce qualified tools, there will always be a lot of waste products – recycling these waste products is also a choice that doesn't waste anything."

Although Su Zhou's tone was calm, anyone could feel a trace of extreme chill in it.

"Minister, I think this place..."

Looking around, all he saw were Qingqiu people's bodies with their eyes closed. Tang Yuan, whose spine was chilling, opened his mouth hesitantly.

He wanted to say something, because Su Zhou's performance was very wrong at this time - according to the secretary's understanding of his minister, it wouldn't be strange for Su Zhou to be furious and draw his swords and guns to blow up this hellhole, but Su Zhou was as calm as a stone now, which made him feel a chill.

"Don't worry, most of these Qingqiu people are just pieces of meat. They don't even have intelligence or self-awareness, they can't even be considered life. I'm not angry enough to be angry about meat dolls being abused."

But halfway through his words, he was interrupted by Su Zhou calmly. The young man looked around at the culture tanks with a deep gaze: "It's okay, I'm not angry, and I've already sensed the location of the Tiangang Disha (Heavenly Stars and Earthly Fiends). It's located at the bottom of this Zhenling Pagoda and in the center of this beam column - the Heavenly Demons transmit the spiritual power of these Qingqiu people's cans by relying on the spiritual power transmission pipes made of Tiangang Disha. It's not difficult to collect them."

--Don't be angry my ass! Tang Yuan glanced at the footprints that were already deeply dented under Su Zhou's feet, as well as the spiderweb cracks that were constantly spreading in all directions with the footprints as the center, and frantically complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on the surface.

"However, before that, I need to do one thing first."

He continued, his spiritual power gathering. With a thought, the calm Su Zhou shattered the transparent crystal shell of the culture tank beside him, and a light red solution exuding a bloody smell flowed out of the broken hole.

He stretched out his hand, grabbed an ice-blue meridian connected to the Qingqiu person in the tank, and cyan-purple spiritual light lit up in his hand, beginning to reverse-erode these meridians.

Su Zhou's tone carried a trace of coldness: "I want to see what these Heavenly Demons are up to."

Using his spiritual power to imitate the properties of the ice-blue meridians and then beginning to reset the flow of information within them, Su Zhou was using a technique similar to 'Physical Soul Searching Technique' on these spiritual meridians at this moment.

Then, accompanied by the surging river of information, the youth, who had disguised himself as the original linker, sensed that behind this meridian, a huge but loose will seemed to be guiding him into a 'dream'.

Without hesitation, Su Zhou chose to follow and invested a part of his will into the dream.

In a flash of light and darkness, the surrounding world transformed into a completely different appearance.

"Chirp--"

Fresh air, the chirping of birds, the warm feeling of the sun shining on his body, the smell of soil, and the faint chirping of insects from all directions.

When Su Zhou in the 'dream' opened his eyes, these were what he perceived.

Looking around, he realized that he was in a dense forest, stepping on a solid asphalt road, and the neat and wide road stretched forward, eventually leading directly into a city full of towers and pavilions in the distant end. There were flying shuttles patrolling in the sky, and he didn't know if it was ancient or advanced.

"Interesting - a near 100% realistic dream."

He whispered and narrowed his eyes. Su Zhou raised his head and walked forward in the direction of the city.

He soon walked out of the dense forest. What appeared in front of Su Zhou was a typical agricultural city. With the city as the center, the vast and boundless farmland occupied almost every inch of the field of vision. Large areas of dense farmland were spread around the city and the forest, and farmhouses were scattered among them in a well-organized manner.

Several figures were driving some kind of magical artifact back and forth in the farmland. Of course, there were also figures without spiritual power or magical artifacts wandering in the fields in person.

Approaching the farmland, Su Zhou even picked off an unripened wheat ear, rubbed it, and the feel was clear.

He showed a thoughtful expression and then continued to move along the road toward the city.

On both sides of the road, those Qingqiu people who looked like farmers looked at Su Zhou, who was walking alone on the road, with puzzled eyes. They were discussing in secret. Some of them even spoke and asked him questions.

"Young man, where did you come from? Why are you walking this commercial road alone?"

A farmer, holding some kind of magical artifact for farming in his hand, shouted at Su Zhou in his field.

After glancing at him from a distance, the young man frowned and left, leaving the farmer somewhat puzzled: "Hey, he's quite arrogant - but he really looks good, but why doesn't he have ears?"

Crossing the farmland area was the city.

Continuing forward, Su Zhou entered this city.

At the city gate, he saw a sign with the six characters [Human World - 9762] written on it.

A strange city name.

Walking into the city, Su Zhou was surprised to find that the inside of the city was unexpectedly lively.

The streets were full of Qingqiu people coming and going. They were wearing all kinds of traditional or trendy clothes, and the trendiest of them were not inferior to reality, and even far exceeded it - in fact, according to the current research in Zheng Kingdom, the human civilization in the ancient era of immortals and gods actually experienced countless cycles of popular culture. Their clothes were not just classical robes and gowns.

If the immortals and gods had not collectively migrated and the spiritual energy had gradually been cut off, resulting in a great decline in productivity and even starting from scratch, the current artistic level of mankind would have been unimaginably high, and their daily life would have been equally very rich.

And now, in the dream, Su Zhou witnessed this scene with his own eyes.

The towering giant towers and buildings were brightly lit, and various flying shuttles shuttled back and forth on the streets, while there were also quite a few cultivators flying in the air. Su Zhou could even see a Qingqiu cultivator bumping into another cultivator. The two first quarreled, then their anger rose, and their spiritual power was boiling. They were preparing to duel on the spot - fortunately, a stream of light flashed by quickly, and a cultivator with a 'town guard' badge on his waist rushed over, separated the two, and took them away.

"Let's go to Lianyi Sea to play in a few days. I heard that there's a wild Flood Dragon there who is going to go through tribulation and break through to become a True Dragon. We might be able to witness the tribulation, which will be of great benefit to cultivation!"

"That's really not easy. Being able to get the qualification to transform into a dragon... Last time I saw the announcement from the Divine Court, because there have been too many Pseudo-Dao cultivators who intend to transform into dragons in the past ten years or so, and their qualifications are mixed, so the qualification to transform into dragons was tightened at the beginning of the year. Even the sons of ordinary Dragon Lords have to wait in line to receive it."

"Don't worry, Qingqiu Country has independent quotas. We don't have to compete with the main world of the Divine Court..."

"By the way, house prices have gone up again recently. Didn't the King say that he would be able to solve the housing problem soon?"

"I don't know, but I heard that it's a big deal..."

Su Zhou mixed into the crowd and walked along with the flow of people. He could hear the noisy sounds of the market. In addition to the exchanges between the Qingqiu people around him, he could also hear the noise in the surrounding shopping malls and markets. Between the towers and buildings, many huge Immortal Dao light curtain projections were floating slowly in the air. On them were Qingqiu people, who were unknown to him, who were talking about all kinds of news and advertisements.

"...The spiritual energy concentration in the Lianshan South area has dropped sharply. Local officials announced that this incident was caused by a Human Immortal martial artist who was in seclusion..."

"...A large-scale typhoon prototype has appeared in the central Lianyi Sea. The eruption of an underwater volcano on the continental plate has caused a strong underwater earthquake. Coastal areas are requested to be alert for large-scale tsunamis, and all ships are prohibited from sailing..."

In the noise of the news, the bustling crowd communicated freely, and everything was incredibly normal.

Su Zhou moved forward slowly all the way. He came to the center of the city, a huge square, or rather, a garden memorial center. In the garden square in the center of the city, there were several unusually tall and majestic golden human statues. Even the majesty contained in the statues alone made people feel awe.

"Emperor Chu, Emperor Yu... and a few others I don't recognize, but they were probably very famous immortals and gods in that era."

Su Zhou murmured the origins of the gods, and he saw that there were many Qingqiu people worshiping below the statues - most of them were just passing by, but as long as they passed by, they would definitely turn to the bottom of the statues and begin to worship.

After worshiping, they left and continued their lives.

Everything was in order, and it was exactly the same as reality - perhaps tens of thousands of years ago, or even thousands, or thousands of years ago, the Qingqiu people lived like this.

It was almost exactly the same as reality.

"But I don't think so."

He whispered to himself like this, and Su Zhou suddenly raised his head and stared at the clouds in the high sky.

Then, in an instant, accompanied by the violent changes in spiritual energy, the celestial phenomena began to change rapidly, and countless clouds began to converge on the city. The white clouds turned black in a matter of seconds.

Boom! A clap of thunder.

A torrential downpour came suddenly, together with hundreds of millions of irregular water droplets and the results of their collisions with each other.

Immediately, with the area of this inexplicable rain as the center, the entire world twisted slightly for a moment.

In the torrential rain, Su Zhou could hear many people around him exclaiming, 'Why is it raining?' 'Did the Dragon Palace mess up the order of rainfall?' All the civilians on the street who were not cultivators began to look for places to take shelter, entering the buildings next to them one by one to avoid the rain.

For a time, the entire street became much deserted.

After causing the rainstorm, Su Zhou closed his eyes and began to feel the movement of the people around him - soon, he opened his eyes and walked toward a small building marked 'Huyi Grocery Store'.

Many Qingqiu people who were shopping had entered the small building before, and after the heavy rain, more Qingqiu people chose to enter it to avoid the rain.

Logically speaking, that store should have been full long ago, and it should be impossible to squeeze in anymore, but just a second ago, there were still Qingqiu people who were avoiding the rain entering it.

Su Zhou didn't say a word. He followed the crowd, opened the door of the store last, and stepped into this grocery store.

And the result that he saw was unexpected.

No one.

The entire grocery store was empty.

All he could see were rows of ice-blue soul light spots, floating regularly in every corner of the grocery store, with all kinds of complex information flowing on them.

After entering the grocery store, Su Zhou didn't speak. He just stared at these light spots, and these light spots didn't make any movements either.

After a while, the rainwater caused by Su Zhou outside stopped, and the ice-blue light spots moved. They floated toward the door of the grocery store, and then one by one, as they crossed the dividing point between the grocery store and the outside street, they transformed into many completely different Qingqiu people.

After walking out of the grocery store, these people who had been transformed from light spots were still talking to each other. They complained about the sudden rain, complained about the inaccuracy of the Dragon Palace's forecast, and there were even a few children who deliberately stepped on the puddles on the side of the road, splashing water droplets all over their trousers and tails, laughing and playing, not caring at all that they would be reprimanded by their mothers when they got home.

Su Zhou watched this peaceful and harmonious daily life, still expressionless.

He walked out of the grocery store and then stood in the middle of the street that had become crowded again.

"Here it comes."

He whispered. After a moment, Su Zhou sensed that a huge will was projecting from a very far distance, focusing its attention on this error area where the 'Bug' had appeared.

At this moment, the lights in the entire city began to dim one by one, as if they were candles that had been blown out by the wind. The people who had been moving and talking all suddenly stopped all the actions in their hands. Their mouths were open, and they were frozen in place as if time had stopped.

The wind stopped, the water droplets no longer fell, and the flames in the barbecue stall on the side of the road stopped at the moment when the sparks exploded. The cultivators and flying shuttles flying in the air also stopped working and extinguished the spiritual light floating on them.

The world rapidly became quiet and dark, as if dusk had arrived.

Above the sky, an ice-blue giant eye was gradually taking shape. It looked at the city and then turned its gaze to the center of the street, where Su Zhou, who was also raising his head, was looking at it.

Then, in the city, all the Qingqiu people's eyes glowed with a faint blue light. In the entire world, all the Qingqiu people turned their heads at the same time, unanimously, and silently stared at Su Zhou, who was standing in the very center of the street, together with the giant eye in the sky.

Such a scene was simply like a nightmare.

"As expected."

But Su Zhou didn't have the slightest fear. He looked at the giant eye in the sky and said indifferently: "Heavenly Demon, is it fun to imitate humans and play house?"

[Ultra-Limit Dangerous Individual.]

The giant eye didn't respond, but said in an emotionless tone: [Forcibly expel and leave the 'Six Paths World'.]

In an instant, the ice-blue light in all the Qingqiu people's eyes flickered, and the dream turned into nothingness in the light.

Just before the entire world was completely reduced to nothingness, Su Zhou, who had been forcibly expelled, could vaguely see that the dream world he was in was just a small part of six larger 'dreams' that were constantly rotating in reincarnation.

The Six Paths were rotating.

Reality, Qingqiu Star, Southwest Zhenling Pagoda.

Su Zhou returned from the huge collective dream of souls. Everything that happened in the dream world was only an instant in reality - at least it didn't exceed ten seconds.

"How is it, Minister?"

Tang Yuan asked worriedly. Su Zhou always acted so suddenly that people couldn't even stop him in time: "What did you find from these Heavenly Demon meridians?"

He was actually a little to blame in his heart. After all, this proactive connection didn't know where it came from, and it was also produced by the spiritual power meridians of the Heavenly Demon. What if the Heavenly Demon invaded? Without Su Zhou, how could they possibly survive the orbital strike of the Qingqiu Heavenly Demon?

Although Tang Yuan was confident in Su Zhou, he felt that Su Zhou would definitely not be invaded by the Heavenly Demon, but he still had to worry about it.

"A group of Heavenly Demons are playing house in the dream. God knows why, they are imitating the Qingqiu people's civilization - damn it, I think that's just a small part of the dream. Its complete form is bigger than I imagined."

Su Zhou let go of the ice-blue spiritual power meridian he was holding tightly, then took a step back and shook his head - he had just been kicked out of the dream directly by the collective will of the Heavenly Demon. Facing the existence whose total soul power was frighteningly high, even Su Zhou couldn't say that his soul was intact.

At least he had to slow down for a few seconds, take a few deep breaths, before he could recover.

Regarding Tang Yuan's question, Su Zhou took a few deep breaths and said with extremely suppressed anger: "At first, I thought these Heavenly Demons had imprisoned the souls of the Qingqiu people and allowed them to live in the dream... but that's not the case."

"The essence of those Qingqiu people is all 'evil spirits' that have been infected by the Heavenly Demons - it's just that they are imitating the Qingqiu people and still living, growing, and dying in that world..."

Philosophical Zombie.

Su Zhou didn't know why, but this word suddenly popped into his mind.

A monster, its appearance and physiological structure are the same as ordinary people. It can communicate with people, it can laugh and scold, it will laugh when it sees interesting things, it will cry when it sees sad things, it will eat when it is hungry, it will drink when it is thirsty, it will feel pain when it is injured, it will be jealous and it will love.

Its performance is exactly the same as a human - except that it has no self-will.

Everything is imitation, it is 'how a human should react in this situation'. It is like the feedback of a mechanical program. There is no thinking at all, it is just a simple expression of external impression feedback. A philosophical zombie imitates every move of a human, but there is no feeling or thinking of its own in its heart.

The Qingqiu world that the Heavenly Demons imitated in the dream world gave Su Zhou this feeling.

A mechanical world that is completely dominated, without any vitality, any extra possibility.

"Wait, does this have something to do with the 'Destiny Pusher'?"

Thinking of this, Su Zhou in the Zhenling Pagoda suddenly froze.

Connecting to the various supernatural power elements related to the 'Six Paths of Reincarnation' that the other party had displayed when fighting the Heavenly Demon before, a guess suddenly popped up in his mind: "A virtual world, the reincarnation of souls... the 'reincarnation' that is completely simulated and completely dominated by the Heavenly Demons, the city whose name is 'Human World - 9762'..."

"Human World, the Human Path... the Six Paths of Reincarnation... a Six Paths of Reincarnation system that is completely composed of Heavenly Demons and completely dominated..."

While Su Zhou frowned and thought about this, suddenly, the atmosphere inside the entire Zhenling Pagoda hall became solemn.

Whoosh-- Whoosh--

Accompanied by the sudden surge of spiritual energy, the rise and fall of the spiritual energy inside the entire Zhenling Pagoda suddenly stopped breathing - in the spiritual tower beam column, the majestic spiritual energy began to pour into the culture tanks and the Qingqiu people in them!

"What's going on?!" "Be careful, the situation has changed!"

Immediately, in the exclamations of warning from Gu Zechuan and Tang Yuan, who were inexplicably surprised, all the Qingqiu people's bodies soaking in the jars all opened their eyes at the same time and turned to look in the direction where the three were.

In hundreds of thousands of cold pupils, the ice-blue light flickered, without a trace of emotion.

[Dangerous Target - Eliminate.]

[Dangerous Target - Eliminate.]

[Dangerous Target - Eliminate.]

The uniform voice rang out in the culture tanks. Immediately afterwards, the solution in all the culture tanks began to recede, and accompanied by the activation of the spiritual energy of the Zhenling Pagoda, the Qingqiu people, or rather, 'Heavenly Demons', who all had the strength of the Extraordinary stage, shattered the transparent shell of the culture tanks at the same time and charged toward the three of them, unafraid of death.

Immediately afterwards, they were all shattered by the surging spiritual power that Su Zhou suddenly raised, turning into a rain of blood that filled the sky.

"Humph."

Su Zhou, who had already drawn the Wisdom Tree Spear, snorted coldly. Facing the many Heavenly Demons who were still pouncing at him, he raised the spear and slammed it on the ground. Immediately, countless fragments of the floor and pebbles floated up. After a loud bang, the huge cyan-purple spiritual power erupted as a shock wave, shattering all the culture tanks in the entire hall and causing countless light red culture solutions and blood to splatter in a quivering manner.

At this time, Su Zhou was wrapped in nearly substantial spiritual power. The power of the Commander level peak was completely released. After protecting Tang Yuan and Gu Zechuan, he unscrupulously oppressed the atmosphere, causing the air to appear as violent ripples like waves. It was like an insurmountable barrier, shattering all things around it.

But still, there were Heavenly Demons who could do it - a Heavenly Demon with the strength of the Commander level middle stage, carrying a gloomy and cold spiritual energy, was the first to break through Su Zhou's spiritual energy blockade. Its original form was a seven-tailed Heavenly Fox. It held a long sword made of spinal bones in its hand, with crooked and twisted runes engraved on it. Then, it aimed at Su Zhou and stabbed with the sword!

This 'Breaking Attachment and Eliminating Suffering Sword', which originated from the great supernatural power 'Netherworld Hell Path', seemed evil, but it was actually a first-class orthodox method. With a single sword strike, one could experience the great horrors of 'the end of life', 'the dissolution of bones', and 'the destruction of the soul'. If the person who was slashed could not comprehend the path, extinguish attachments, and gain great freedom, they would suffer this torment forever and find it difficult to escape.

But what it faced was a spear point stabbed out in anger!

Boom! The atmosphere exploded, and the shock wave that was invisible to the human eye condensed into a beam. The extremely violent power drove the destructive gale forward, instantly blasting out a cylindrical vacuum that pierced through a thousand meters in front!

Sword tip against spear tip. Under the collision of great forces, this natal supernatural power magic treasure that the Commander level Heavenly Demon had nurtured for who knew how long exploded and scattered on the spot. The fragments flew in all directions, like fragments of exploding shells - and it was only these broken fragments that pierced through dozens of Heavenly Demons who were swarming, making the surrounding space empty.

The Commander level Heavenly Demon itself had been directly blasted out of the Zhenling Pagoda by the power of this spear - a huge hole appeared in the extremely thick tower wall, and the corpse of the Heavenly Demon had turned into nothingness.

In the next instant, an incomparably dazzling cyan-purple spiritual light lit up from the bottom of this Zhenling Pagoda. It was like a shooting star flying in reverse, piercing through seven floors of the tower in the huge explosion and rumbling sound, and then appearing in the high sky eight hundred meters above!

Boom! The sky, which was already covered with dark clouds, immediately lit up with bright lightning, which traversed above the sky, illuminating the emotionless face of its master.

At this time, the entire Zhenling Pagoda City had entered a state of martial law. Sharp alarm sounds resounded throughout the sky. Huge defensive magic formations, like gears, flickered with ice-blue brilliance, and began to operate with all their strength. More attack magic formations were all locked onto Su Zhou.

At this moment, Tang Yuan had just escaped from the Zhenling Pagoda with Gu Zechuan. They stared blankly at the young man who was tightly gripping the spear in the high sky and surrounded by lightning, not knowing what to say.

"I knew he would tear this place down!"

In the torrential rain, Tang Yuan raised his head in the torrential rain and stared at Su Zhou, who was wielding his spear and fighting against the many defensive formations of the Zhenling Pagoda City. He whispered, "I can see it, he's been driven mad! If he hadn't been driven mad, he wouldn't have connected to the Heavenly Demon's spiritual power meridians. When he saw the culture tank with the 'Nutritional Supplement' tag, the Minister would have taken action to wipe out that place--"

"Angry? Why?!"

Hearing this, Gu Zechuan on the side was unable to understand. He was holding a cone sword at this time, guarding against the many Heavenly Demons who were swarming out of the Zhenling Pagoda, and said with confusion: "Although I'm also very angry, but in the final analysis, isn't it just that many people have died? I already knew that even if they didn't die, they would definitely be tortured when those people were caught in the Zhenling Pagoda..."

"But Su Zunshang is obviously not a Qingqiu person... He is a Dragon King of the Immortal Gods, why would he be angry?"

"Why?"

Hearing Gu Zechuan's words, Tang Yuan, who also took out his weapon and prepared to deal with the Heavenly Demon's attack, turned his head and looked at the white-haired fox-eared youth with a strange expression and said with confusion: "Isn't the answer very simple?"

"Because, he cares about you."

The first part, please ask for monthly tickets first. The second part may be later, please forgive me
