Chapter 27: Heaven and Earth Killing Trap, Who’s Behind it?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

A sea of blood seemed to reach the sky, and the shore was scattered with white bones.

Xia Zhuyuan and Patriarch Dugu, who had entered Xiangya Mountain, were both shocked by the scene in front of them.

“As expected, senior Chen has predicted everything again.”

When they came, they knew that there must be a conspiracy at the Dao discussion conference.

After all, senior Chen had vaguely dished out hints.

However, they were still shocked when they saw everything.

It was just too shocking.

Who would have thought that someone in this world would set up such a deadly trap? Using millions of living beings as the pawns, Heaven and Earth as the chessboard, and Xiangya Mountain as the killing weapon. The other party was simply using the lives of hundreds of thousands of creatures to achieve his unspeakable goal.

“Senior Dugu, most of the people in the killing array are from the Central Region. If all of them die here, it will hurt the fate and foundation of the Central Region. We should save as many as we can. I’m sure that’s why senior Chen sent us here,” Xia Zhuyuan said to Patriarch Dugu.

“Yes.”

After his Dao heart was shattered and then reformed, Patriarch Dugu was no longer arrogant. He had even reached an agreement with Xia Zhuyuan on the way here: They would disregard seniority, strength, and status, and would do everything according to senior Chen’s guidance.

But to what extent did senior Chen want them to go?

To be honest, they were clueless when they came.

But now, when they saw the scene of so many creatures being plunged into misery and suffering, all the doubts in their hearts were resolved. They didn’t need to think about anything and just needed to follow their hearts.

“Save them!”

Whoosh.

Patriarch Dugu threw out the mountain and river picture in his hand, and a stream of celestial energy blew out. The mountain and river picture fluttered in the wind and continued to expand. In the end, it was like a vast ocean, hanging over Xiangya Mountain.

“If you don’t want to die, enter the mountain and river picture,” Patriarch Dugu shouted.

He had long realized that the incomplete mountain and river picture that senior Chen had given him could connect to reality.

Although senior Chen used many unknown techniques such as splashing ink, simple brush strokes, and montages in the painting, which made the mountains and rivers in the painting very different from reality and more like an illusion, if one looked closely, one would realize that the mountains and rivers in the painting were layered. The more one looked, the more one could discover how much Heaven and Earth were hidden in the painting.

Therefore, Patriarch Dugu guessed that the painting might really contain a world of mountains and rivers.

Now that he used his celestial energy to activate it, a passage was indeed opened between the painting and reality.

“This painting can be entered?”

“Could it be a celestial artifact?”

“I can’t care less anymore. If I stay here, I’ll definitely die. If I go to the painting, I might have a chance to survive.”

Countless cultivators quickly flew toward the mountain and river picture at the sound of Patriarch Dugu’s voice.

One by one, the 3D figures flew directly into the painting and became small 2D figures in the endless endless wilderness.

“As expected…”

Seeing that the mountain and river picture could really store life, Patriarch Dugu’s belief grew stronger.

“It seems that I’ve underestimated senior Chen’s calculations. Senior Chen gave me this painting not only to help me reform my Dao heart but also to save the world.”

It was as if Patriarch Dugu had found his mission in this chaotic situation.

He tried his best to save lives.

On the other side, Xia Zhuyuan quickly headed towards the peak of Xiangya Mountain.

Black gas lingered there, and cracks were appearing in the space.

Inside the crack was an endless abyss of darkness, exuding a chilling aura of death. A blurry figure walked out of the endless darkness and cackled.

“The Forbidden Endless Abyss! It’s the Evil Lord of the Abyss!” Someone suddenly shouted.
