In these broken mountains and rivers, the land is barren and the rift valleys are crisscrossed, like the scars of time, revealing the vicissitudes of countless years.

And this place, known as the "forbidden land on earth", seems to be endless, and there is no end in sight no matter how far you go.

A young man with blood stains seeping into his black robe was walking slowly in the desert holding an air sword.

The young man's face was indifferent, as if the desolate scene and crisis-ridden atmosphere around him could not enter his eyes.

Zhou Qingmu has been walking in this desolate "forbidden land on earth" where only the remaining souls are left for several days.

The almost non-stop killing in the past few days has made him a little numb.

The black energy produced by these demonic beasts after they died. During his observations in the past few days, he couldn't help but think of the strange black energy that had appeared on the body of He Xiao, the warrior of Shenxiao Mountain. However, he could clearly feel it.

There are some similarities between the two, but the differences are even greater.

At this moment, a phantom of a monster beast suddenly came towards him from the darkness.

Zhou Qingmu stopped suddenly, turned his head slightly to glance, and at the same time raised the air sword in his hand and struck it down with one strike!

The sword light flashed, and a long crack was instantly cut beside him by the sword energy, and a phantom of a monster slowly dissipated in the crack.

Zhou Qingmu just glanced at it, then walked forward without stopping.

However, after walking for a while, he stopped again.

In front of him, he saw nearly dozens of monster beasts gathering together, blocking the road ahead.

Their eyes were filled with scarlet red filled with murderous intent.

Zhou Qingmu thrust the sword energy in his hand heavily into the ground, a sword energy swayed out, and the two sides faced off like this.

Finally, a demonic beast moved first, roared, and then rushed towards Zhou Qingmu.

Zhou Qingmu didn't move, but slowly raised his fist, letting the phantom of the monster hit him.

He raised his hand and punched to instantly block the menacing remnant soul of the monster beast. Then he punched out suddenly, and the ghost beast's shadow suddenly turned into nothingness.

Seeing this scene, the remnant souls of the monster beasts controlled by the strange black energy all moved out to attack Zhou Qingmu!

Zhou Qingmu's face was slightly condensed, he raised a hand and pointed it as a sword, and gently placed it between his eyebrows. A golden lotus shadow appeared from the center of his eyebrows.

I saw Zhou Qingmu reciting softly: "King Kong has angry eyes and snaps his fingers to suppress demons."

The next moment, a golden Arhat suddenly appeared behind him. As Zhou Qingmu slashed at the remnant souls of the monster beasts that were coming in groups, the golden Buddha behind him also slashed down with his palm!

boom!

After a palm fell, the golden Arhat behind Zhou Qingmu disappeared, and in front of him, countless black energy surged out, and the remaining souls of the monster beasts also began to dissipate.

But for them, it is more of a relief.

Zhou Qingmu looked at the remnants of the souls that were about to return to the Yin Ruins, and said softly: "It's a good journey on your way to life."

After saying that, Zhou Qingmu slowly took steps forward and walked forward.

And those remnant souls made whistling sounds behind him, as if to express their thanks. Finally, they slowly turned into nothingness and disappeared between heaven and earth.

Zhou Qingmu's mood was a little complicated, but he could only walk by indifferently, heading deeper into the forbidden land.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

The number of remnant souls of the demonic beasts that he had completely killed now was innumerable.

And after every day of fighting, this boundless and desolate forbidden land seemed to have a little more wind and frost on his face. So much so that after practicing outside for so many years, Zhou Qingmu had somewhat forgotten that today was his birthday.

The entire human world, during this period, has completely entered the summer season where cicadas are constantly chirping.

After Zhou Qingmu killed the remnant soul of a monster that was stronger than the one outside the forbidden land with one sword, he stopped as usual and sat on a stone to restore his true energy.

Although this place is isolated from the outside world, what surprised Zhou Qingmu was that the aura of heaven and earth here was actually a bit richer than that of the outside world, and could even be comparable to some cave heaven paradises.

Perhaps it's because the bones of countless demonic beasts were buried here, and the true energy left behind after their deaths converged with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?

After restoring his true energy to a general level, Zhou Qingmu stood up, took a sip of wine, and slowly walked deeper.

As Zhou Qingmu goes deeper and deeper, the remnant souls of monster beasts he encounters are becoming fewer and fewer.

It's quite a bit easier.

During these days of fighting, Zhou Qingmu encountered many beings whose auras were even higher than his own.

However, it is just a remnant soul, and it does not even have a physical body, so it is relatively easy to deal with.

You know, the two things that the demon clan is most proud of are their long lifespan compared to the human race and their innate physical body that is several times that of the human race.

In the human race, those who have such a physique are almost all martial artists of high level or Buddhist monks who cultivate the physical body.

It is rare for people who practice Qi to practice like this.

After all, for most practitioners, as long as the physical body can carry a body of cultivation, there is no need to deliberately practice.

This is even more true for sword cultivators.

As long as the sword in his hand is strong enough, any Buddha or warrior god will bow his head under this sword!

Thinking of this, Zhou Qingmu shook his head and smiled. For him, cultivation is just to be able to do what he wants to do, without having to bow his head for a bird's life.

Immediately, Zhou Qingmu continued to walk forward, but soon stopped again.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhou Qingmu's indifferent face was slightly condensed, but he was also a little excited.

He saw a familiar white figure in front of him, and his hard work paid off.

However, the figure in the white dress is now lying on some stone slab like a dead person, motionless.

This scene inevitably made Zhou Qingmu a little worried.

On both sides of Bai Yusu's figure, there are stone pillars surrounding it, like a formation altar.

But now that he had reached this point, Zhou Qingmu no longer hesitated and immediately walked towards the "altar" at a faster pace.

After Zhou Qingmu walked into the altar, he walked towards Bai Yusu's figure without hesitation.

But when he was about to approach the center of the altar, Zhou Qingmu stopped.

Only then did he realize where Miss Bai was lying on the stone slab? She was clearly lying on the sarcophagus!

The lower part of the center of the altar is empty, and a sarcophagus lies there quietly. There are several long marks around the open space that seem to have been made by someone, connecting the surrounding stone pillars.

Zhou Qingmu took another look at the situation around him, then condensed a sword energy in his hand and handed it forward.

The sword came out instantly and cut through the space in front of Zhou Qingmu. However, when it was about to approach the sarcophagus, it seemed to be half wiped out by some force and suddenly disappeared in front of Zhou Qingmu's eyes.

Sure enough, there is a problem here.

And, it’s huge!

Zhou Qingmu's face was slightly condensed. He walked around the altar again and looked at the runes on the floor of the altar and the connected stone pillars, but he really didn't find anything special.

He couldn't understand this rune at all!

But this stone pillar is too ordinary! There is no comparison with the Four Elephant Stone Pillar and Kunpeng Stone Pillar in Fuyao City.

Zhou Qingmu didn't know why at this time. He observed the stone pillar for a long time, but even with his soul power, he couldn't feel any mysterious power on the stone pillar.

However, according to the layout of the altar, the power of the sarcophagus should come from these stone pillars!

Immediately, a sword energy condensed under his feet, rose from the ground, and slowly landed next to the top of a stone pillar.

On the top of the stone pillar, a small statue of a fox demon exuding an ancient aura and even a demonic aura came into Zhou Qingmu's eyes.

He sat on the sword and carefully observed the little statue of the fox demon.

The aura on this little fox demon statue is different from the remnant souls of those monster beasts. This is the real demon aura that has not been corroded by the weird black energy!

Zhou Qingmu stretched out a hand and lightly touched the little fox demon statue, but there was no reaction.

However, when he gently raised his hand, a gust of wind blew by, and Zhou Qingmu's finger was instantly scratched, and a drop of blood dripped from it.

At this time, Zhou Qingmu stood up immediately, looked around, his face slightly condensed.

However, the enemy he imagined did not appear.

And after a drop of his own blood dripped into the little fox demon statue in front of him, a surge of power that reached the heavens and the earth suddenly surged out.

Zhou Qingmu frowned and stared at the beam of light, condensing sword energy in his hand.

I saw that the light that reached the sky gradually dimmed after a surge. A whistling sound came from the little fox demon statue, and the aura emanating from it was extremely familiar to Zhou Qingmu!

It was just like the aura of the remnant souls of the previous monster beasts, but this demon aura was purer compared to them, which meant that the remnant soul contained in the little fox demon statue had not been corroded by the weird black aura.

Zhou Qingmu was indeed a little surprised that he could avoid being corroded by the weird black energy in this "forbidden land on earth".

Is it possible that this ordinary-looking little fox demon hides something mysterious?

However, Zhou Qingmu did not act rashly, because he could not yet confirm whether it was the remnant soul of the monster beast, and whether this thing would be beneficial or harmful to Miss Bai lying on the sarcophagus?

The whistling sound from the little fox demon statue kept coming, and a line of purple smoke gradually floated out from it.

Finally, under Zhou Qingmu's fixed gaze, the purple smoke began to gather and form a "human figure"?

This is an illusory woman wearing a purple skirt with fox prints printed on it.

But what caught Zhou Qingmu's attention the most was that there was a foxtail mark on her forehead that was the same as Miss Bai's eyebrow.

It's just that the mark on the white girl is red, while the mark on the woman in the purple skirt is lavender.

However, the current state of the woman in the purple skirt with tightly closed eyes is the same as the remnant souls of other monsters in the forbidden land, and is not the real body.

The figure of the woman in the purple skirt also began to gradually solidify as the purple smoke continued to pour out.

This remnant soul left in this fox demon statue from unknown time is about to be completely born!

At this moment, somewhere in the forbidden land, a strange black energy rushed out and rushed in the direction where they were.
Chapter completed!
