Abundant Martial Arts Virtue

"I know the way."

Wang Lingxiu communicated.

"You know how to get to the next world?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"These evil-transformed small worlds are connected to each other, one world often links to dozens, and there are some transit worlds that connect to nearly a hundred other worlds." Wang Lingxiu said.

Wu Xiaode nodded slightly.

This way, they can jump over many worlds at once, speeding up the climb up the pillar.

The entire Supreme Evil Demon Pillar is made up of countless coffins.

If climbing one by one, who knows when it'll be finished.

Wang Lingxiu confidently said:

"As long as we reach a crucial point, we can cross the boundary and enter other higher worlds."

"Good, I'll arrange it." Wu Xiaode said.

His expression changed, and he walked towards Ye Huangyun under the shade, smiling with clasped hands:

"Brother Ye, your disciples are strong and invincible—future path exploration will be handed over to my sister, she's good at it, what do you think?"

"Hahaha, this guy's really considerate, Master you should agree with him." Liu Xing said playfully.

"Yeah, Master, I'm exhausted from exploring the path every day." Da Zhuang also said.

Ye Huangyun thought for a moment, and clasped his hands, saying:

"Then it's better to accept graciously."

Wu Xiaode continued: "Also, I noticed that your clothes and pants are a bit old, when we encounter any city later, I'll pay to get you all some new outfits—please don't be polite, I feel uneasy without paying the bill for a day."

"Boss Ming, are you very wealthy?" White Prince asked curiously.

"I have some savings, I'll cover all expenses for food and clothing on this journey." Wu Xiaode said generously.

Liu Xing laughed heartily, stepped forward, and asked: "And what about wine? Do you cover my wine expenses?"

Wu Xiaode patted his shoulder, saying: "Enough coverage."

Everyone laughed.

Ye Huangyun also breathed a sigh of relief.

On this journey, money is continuously needed, although he had brought much, spending like this was hard to sustain.

If this continued, he'd really have to live off the land.

"Brother Ming, you're really generous."

Ye Huangyun said with a smile.

"Not at all, within the four seas we are brothers, we rely on each other." Wu Xiaode said boldly.

With the division of labor complete, the atmosphere became even more harmonious.

After all, in a team, if one possesses no value, why would others take you along?

Everyone rested for a while and then set off together.

Wang Lingxiu indeed led the way at the front.

Wu Xiaode, not feeling at ease, followed for a while.

An evil-transformed twin-headed python demon rushed out, but Wang Lingxiu reached out and opened a space rift to send it away directly.

"What kind of magic is this?" Wu Xiaode asked curiously.

"Our Six Paths of Reincarnation magic," Wang Lingxiu said, holding a Spirit Stone to replenish spiritual power, "I sent it to Oblivion River."

"Oblivion River?" Wu Xiaode asked curiously.

"Yes, our Flower Sect has an extradition agreement with Oblivion River. These creatures transformed by evil, are of great research value, a single head can exchange for considerable subsidies." Wang Lingxiu said.

She glanced at Wu Xiaode and added: "If I encounter something I can't handle, I'll call for help immediately, don't worry."

"Good."

Wu Xiaode really felt somewhat relieved.

He returned to the rear of the team, starting to get close to Liu Xing.

This guy might have absorbed the most evil power, ridiculously strong, if he could extract some secrets of evil magic from him, it would be quite the gain.

The group proceeded, crossing through mountains and valleys, avoiding countless paths.

Finally.

A paved road with bricks and stones appeared ahead.

Ye Huangyun said happily:

"Xiuxiu Sister indeed knows how to explore paths and brought us back to the main road."

"Learned it before." Wang Lingxiu said.

She winked at Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode quietly came forward, and suddenly had a card placed in his hand.

Lines of small bronze characters emerged:

"Evil Beast Coffin."

"Basic construct card of the Supreme Evil Demon Pillar."

"Collect seven different evil-transformed coffin decks, you can try to summon the construct power of this pillar, and use it to build a new demon pillar."

What use does this thing have?

Wu Xiaode toyed with the card and asked quietly:

"Why give it to me?"

"I'm not using it anyway," Wang Lingxiu said quietly, "if you send me back and can't come back, perhaps this card can be of help."

Alright.

The reasoning is quite sound.

He casually inserted it into the Evil Spirit Book.

Everyone continued to move forward.

Shortly after, a city appeared ahead.

Inexpressible magic fluctuations covered the city, continuously spreading outward.

Wang Lingxiu flew over for a look and retreated.

"This city has already been transformed by evil and is on the verge of destruction, but they are still struggling." She sighed.

"No worries," Wu Xiaode glanced back to see Liu Xing making a heart pose with him, "Let's go have a look."

The group walked into the city together.

Only to see people standing everywhere in the city, each person standing under the eaves of their own house, chanting spells, activating the array that covered the entire city.

The power of that magic array was infused along the ground's runes into small flying boats at the doors of every household.

Wang Lingxiu sighed, "These people are done for, but their descendants can escape this world on the flying boats."

"Is escaping this world useful?" Wu Xiaode asked.

He noticed that those small flying boats were just about the height of a person, like a goose cage, cylindrical in shape, with spatial fluctuations continuously flashing on the surface.

"No use, even if they escape this world, they'll just enter another world transformed by evil."

Wang Lingxiu said.

Wu Xiaode looked towards those people.

Under their feet appeared something like veins or blood vessels.

The entire land seemed to have become some kind of medium, completely controlling them, slowly and irreversibly draining their flesh and essence.

As for those flying boats—

The flying boats contained not human children, but something akin to spores.

"Using human power to sow spores for themselves, and then contaminate other worlds?"

Wu Xiaode muttered to himself.

"The situation is set, nothing we do will matter, everything will undergo evil transformation," Wang Lingxiu said.

Ye Huangyun strode forward, looked around, and sighed:

"This king is truly heartless, to want to eat the brains of so many children."

Wang Lingxiu froze and looked at Wu Xiaode.

"Ignore him, the world he sees is different from ours," Wu Xiaode transmitted his voice.

Ye Huangyun snapped his fingers.

Liu Xing quickly stepped forward and asked softly, "Master, what are your orders?"

"We need to intervene in this matter, we can't let these children be eaten by the king," Ye Huangyun said.

"Master's thoughts are unique, we're here to learn, why deal with such matters—Boss Ming, what do you think?" Liu Xing asked.

"Let's find the City Lord and see what's really going on," Wu Xiaode said.

"Okay, since you all say so, let's go," Liu Xing said.

Ten minutes later.

The group presented invitation cards at the entrance of the City Lord Mansion and were soon welcomed inside.

The City Lord looked at Ye Huangyun in surprise.

"Why do you, an evil object...pretend to be human?"

Ye Huangyun bowed and said, "Please command the king to release all the children in the city."

The king?

The City Lord's expression changed continually.

He exuded a gray aura, evidently fully turned to evil magic, only a sliver of sanity desperately holding on.

Wu Xiaode suddenly stopped Ye Huangyun and whispered, "I'm more familiar with these matters, let me handle this."

Ye Huangyun stepped back two paces and yielded the position.

Wu Xiaode spoke:

"Which holy figure's defeat led to this world's complete downfall?"

"A Holy Avatar...was directly killed, so we are doomed too," the City Lord said.

"Who did it?" Wu Xiaode asked again.

"It." The City Lord glanced at the Void beside him.

In the Void, a humanoid monster covered in twisted veins silently appeared.

It extended dozens of veins deep into the City Lord's body, but its gaze fell on Ye Huangyun.

"Sir, what magic afflicted you to turn human?"

The monster asked respectfully.

Wu Xiaode stepped back, whispering to Ye Huangyun, "This is the grand duke, it wants to eat the children's brains."

Ye Huangyun angrily shouted, "Disciples, attack!"

An abrupt change occurred—

The monster shuddered as it saw Liu Xing, Da Zhuang, and White Prince.

"Not good, I need to save the master first!"

The monster's figure flashed, directly hugging Ye Huangyun, and crashed through the Void to escape.

Wu Xiaode calmly said:

"Big Master, bad news, Master has been taken away!"

"Damn it!"

Liu Xing yelled furiously, casting the wolf fang club towards the Void—

The wolf fang club instantly chased after.

A deafening scream immediately echoed.

Liu Xing beckoned, and the wolf fang club pierced through the monster's body, which continued to struggle.

"Do you dare to steal my Master?"

Liu Xing grabbed the monster and tore it in half.

Da Zhuang and White Prince swiftly stepped forward and, with Liu Xing, rapidly devoured the monster.

Wu Xiaode was stunned.

Though they killed this evil object, Ye Huangyun was truly taken away!

It was unknown what kind of magic that evil object used—

In any case.

Ye Huangyun escaped the "Fateful Calamity"!

"What now?"

Wang Lingxiu asked softly.

"Don't worry, I'll persist until I return you," Wu Xiaode said.

He extended his hand and made a seal.

Boom—

Boundless darkness spread from him, instantly enveloping the entire city.

"Burning God" state!

He then roared, "Though one got away, the spell remains, let's continue."

Instantly, whispered voices echoed in the Void.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

All ominous changes vanished into the Void.

Liu Xing, Da Zhuang, and White Prince all looked at Wu Xiaode.

—They had originally been split off as avatars of evil power by "Fateful Calamity", now affected once more, further confounded.

"Master, what do we do next?"

Liu Xing asked.

"Go." Wu Xiaode responded tersely.

"Where to, Master?" Da Zhuang asked.

"Tianzhu."

Wu Xiaode said.

He held Wang Lingxiu's hand and walked towards the city outskirts.

Elsewhere.

Frontline.

The catastrophe zone, enemy territory.

A figure staggered and fell from the Void.

—It was a bizarre evil object, bones writhing incessantly.

Skeletal.

It lay on the ground, unmoving for quite a while.

Suddenly.

A roaring burst erupted from its mouth, spread across thousands of miles.

"I'll kill you!"
