137: Chapter 137 The Authority of Heaven? A World-Wide Campaign Against Demons?
Time rewinds a few days.
It was not just the higher-ups at the Righteous Path Alliance headquarters in the Central Region who were influenced by that eerie "mysterious giant eye" from the ancient abyss.
East Xuan Region, Ethereal Immortal Sect.
That Soul Transformation Stage old monster who had fled the Righteous Path Alliance grand hall faster than a rabbit, using the excuse of his "Immortal Cave being robbed," had barely stepped into his own Sect Protection Array and caught his breath when a pitch-black fissure tore open in the sky above him without warning.
An indifferent and cold illusory giant eye slowly opened.
Merely being stared at by that giant eye for a second caused this originally shrewd old monster's eyes to instantly fill with scarlet bloodshot veins, and a beast-like low growl erupted from his throat: "Kill... go to the Southern Wasteland... seize the xuantian spirit treasure!"
West Desert, Holy Land of Ten Thousand Buddhas.
The Old Ancestor of the Holy Land, who had slipped away under the excuse of his "lifespan Spirit Beast giving birth," had just struck his wooden fish when an identical eerie giant eye appeared in the sky.
The golden Buddhist light was instantly polluted by pitch-black evil thoughts, and the Old Ancestor's compassionate face became hideous and twisted: "Old Demon Wang must be executed! Bloodbath Cangwu Mountain!"
It was not just the East Xuan Region and the West Desert.
In the deepest parts of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, those top-tier Yao Emperors and half-step Yao Venerables who had slept for thousands of years, and even in the extremely remote hinterlands of the Northern Border Devil Sect, those murderous high-level Cultivators...
Over these past few days, above the firmaments of the five great regions—the Central Region, West Desert, East Xuan Region, Northern Border, and the Hundred Thousand Mountains—the phantom of a mysterious giant eye had manifested!
That subtle, eerie power acted like a bone-deep parasite, precisely amplifying the deepest greed and murderous desires in the hearts of every high-level Cultivator in this world.
For a time, the entire Cultivation World was rife with undercurrents, and Killing Intent soared to the heavens.
The Righteous Path Alliance of the Central Region, the East Xuan Immortal Sect, the Holy Land of the West Desert, the Northern Border Devil Sect, and the Yao Race of the Hundred Thousand Mountains!
Under the secret influence of the mysterious giant eye, the top-tier high-level Cultivators of these five great factions had actually synchronized their actions in an unprecedented manner, each forming a "Demon-Slaying Army" and preparing to march from all directions to besiege the Hehuan Sect on Cangwu Mountain in the Southern Wasteland!
...
However, just as this terrifying coalition of the five factions finished assembling and, carrying monstrous Killing Intent, were about to step into the Southern Wasteland...
On the main peak of Cangwu Mountain, Wang Yang successfully exchanged for the [Top-Grade Heavenly Spiritual Root], and his cultivation instantly skyrocketed to the sixth level of the Soul Transformation Stage!
At the same time, his "Invincible Domain" ushered in an unprecedented and terrifying explosion, with its total radius directly skyrocketing to 23,200.12 kilometers!
Boom!!!
The formless and imageless Domain Law, like a silent storm, centered on Cangwu Mountain and instantly swept across nearly half of the entire Human Realm!
Within this absolutely Invincible Domain, Wang Yang was the only True God, and the rules he represented forcibly overwrote the original Laws of this world!
The moment this Invincible Domain fluctuation swept across more than half of the Human Realm...
High above the Nine Heavens, that mysterious giant eye in the endless sky actually emitted an imperceptible wail, and its originally solid phantom began to tremble violently, vaguely becoming extremely illusory!
It turned out that this mysterious giant eye was the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao will of this Human Realm!
All along, as Wang Yang's Domain radius grew larger and larger, the Heavenly Dao will felt with terror that its authority and power were slowly being weakened and stripped away.
However, due to the absolute protection and concealment of the System, the high-and-mighty Heavenly Dao will had never been able to observe the true existence of Wang Yang and the Invincible Domain.
It had always been puzzled, thinking that it was just some "unrefined thing" within itself acting up in secret, attempting to backlash against it.
It wasn't until that day, when Wang Yang successfully summoned the Mahayana Clone of Chu Lingyue from the Spirit Realm, that the Domain radius instantly skyrocketed by a full 9,000 kilometers!
That violent collision of Laws finally allowed the Heavenly Dao will to catch a trace of a clue, and it suddenly realized: the true source of its power being crazily weakened was not some unrefined object within itself, but the Hehuan Sect on Cangwu Mountain in the Southern Wasteland!
Therefore, it did not hesitate to descend the giant eye phantom, crazily polluting high-level Cultivators across the world, attempting to use the hands of the world to eliminate this "tumor" that was seizing its authority.
But the Heavenly Dao will never expected that its actions were still one step too slow.
At this moment, with Wang Yang exchanging for the Heavenly Spiritual Root, the absolute "control" over nearly half of the Human Realm had already been forcibly stripped away by Wang Yang!
With the control of the world reduced by nearly half, the capabilities of the Heavenly Dao will were also weakened.
As its power plummeted, the subtle mental control it exerted over high-level Cultivators across the world was also significantly weakened!
"Kill... kill everyone in the Hehuan Sect... seize... hmm? Amitabha?"
The Old Ancestor of the West Desert Holy Land, who was charging at the very front, felt his originally scarlet eyes suddenly freeze.
He looked blankly at the demon-subduing pestle held high in his hand, then looked at the other Sect members around him who were equally bewildered, the madness in their eyes receding like a tide, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.
"What is this old man doing?!" The old monster from the East Xuan Region gasped, slapped his thigh, and shouted, "Return to the Sect!"
"That was close! Truly too close!"
Reason regained the high ground, and all sorts of cautious thoughts began to pop up frantically in the minds of these great experts.
"Why did we suddenly provoke that Devil Head? We haven't even figured out if he is in the Void Refinement Stage, and we dared to come and besiege such an unparalleled old devil who can instantly wipe out a Sect? Are we tired of living?"
"It is better not to take risks! Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
In just a few breaths of time, having lost the powerful mental control of the Heavenly Dao giant eye, this "Demon-Slaying Army," which had originally been aggressive enough to make the entire Cultivation World tremble, dissolved on the spot in a highly dramatic fashion, without even seeing the Hehuan Sect!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The old monsters ran as fast as they had come, turning into streams of light across the sky, and without looking back, they each returned to their own homes to find their own mothers.
And high, far above the Nine Heavens.
That Heavenly Dao giant eye, its power weakened by more than half, watched helplessly as the army it had painstakingly assembled crumbled instantly, and in its originally indifferent pupils, extremely human-like emotions finally emerged.
Rage!
The mysterious giant eye above the Nine Heavens began to fly into a hysterical rage!
Blood clouds rolled across the firmament, thunder flashed, as if the world itself were letting out a roar of incompetent fury!
