Chapter 412: Form and Spirit

From day to night, it should be a fixed cycle.

But in the Dark City, it seems to be random and arbitrary.

It was a foggy day just now, but it suddenly became gloomy and dark, and in a short moment it was pitch black.

The people living in the city were panicked.

Under the great fear, they ran towards the houses that could provide safe shelter.

Because the change came too suddenly, no one was prepared, and even a lot of bloody conflicts broke out.

Many people did not die in the mouth of the monster, but fell under the knife of their own kind.

Wei Tao was alone, going against the current alone.

Following the vague feeling in his heart, he quickly passed through the entire Dark City and came to the high wall on the edge.

He carefully observed the narrow stone steps going up, and after a moment of silence, he began to climb up.

Wei Tao took every step very slowly, just like playing chess with someone, and would take a step forward after careful consideration.

However, it took him a full quarter of an hour to reach the gatehouse on top of the city wall, where he could see the scenery above.

In the pitch-black darkness, a somewhat illusory path appeared.

One end was connected to the gatehouse of the city wall, and the other end was winding upwards, leading to an unknown place.

Wei Tao stayed here for a long time, and then took another step slowly.

Standing on the path that seemed to exist, but seemed not to exist.

Crack!

He sank down suddenly.

Huge pressure suddenly descended.

It was like carrying the entire section of the city wall, or even the entire Gloomy City, on his back.

If it weren't for his strong body, he might have been directly pressed to the ground by this oppressive force, and he couldn't even move a finger.

Crack, crack, crack! ! !

Wei Tao had an idea in his mind, and slowly turned his head under the huge pressure.

He wanted to look back at the Gloomy City where he had lived for two days, and what kind of scene would it present if he observed it from this angle.

At a glance, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

The City of Darkness had disappeared.

Even the towering city walls and the dilapidated gatehouse that had just been crossed had disappeared.

There was nothing behind him, and he had strangely lost all his escape routes.

He could only see a mass of flesh and blood that was constantly wriggling, suspended in the dark void.

"This is the remains of the earthly immortal's body, which really exceeded my expectations."

"I don't know if all earthly immortals are like this, or if the one in front of him is close to the height of the rising clouds, which is why he showed such an unreasonable situation, being able to survive in the dark void with only a piece of flesh and blood."

"And the shape of this wriggling flesh and blood can only mean that life is impermanent, large intestine and small intestine."

Wei Tao restrained his thoughts and stopped himself from thinking.

Because if he continued to think, he would soon face the question of where he came from and where he was going.

The question of where he came from was easy to answer.

After all, he was like other residents of the City of Darkness, and they were all fellow travelers, so naturally they came from the same intestine.

However, it was difficult to think deeply about where he was going.

Wei Tao retracted his gaze and looked at the narrow path extending in front of him. The strange description of the winding path leading to a secluded place appeared in his mind.

He was silent for a moment, but he continued to move forward.

It was dark all around. The white gown he wore, emitting a faint white light, was completely out of tune with the surrounding environment and became the only light source in the ink color.

Time passed little by little.

This road seemed to have no end.

I don’t know how long it will be.

Several shadows appeared silently.

They brushed against Wei Tao’s body, stretched their bodies and swam around.

It felt like long snakes sliding across the body, cold and sticky but extremely silky.

There were also laughter and crying mixed in.

The sound was thin and sharp, getting louder and louder.

It sounded like a ghost talking continuously, attracting countless shadows to fly and circle around, and the number was getting more and more, and denser and denser.

After a while, the white gown disappeared, and even the blazing white light was submerged and covered.

Wei Tao stopped at this time.

In addition to the spider silk gown, he seemed to have put on a black cloak.

A large number of twisting and changing shadows attached to the surface of his body, like sharp steel saws, constantly cutting his body.

"A meaningless attack."

"Except for making me feel a little itchy, it has no other use."

"Or rather, this is a test of me by the one hiding in the dark."

Boom!

The blazing white flames rose, instantly turning a large number of slender shadows into ashes, without even causing a ripple.

The next moment, the black cloak suddenly exploded, and countless slender shadows fled desperately, never daring to approach his body again.

Everything was quiet again.

The clattering footsteps sounded again, becoming the only sound around.

After staying in the lightless and silent darkness for a long time, Wei Tao felt that even his own sense of existence became looming and slowly became nothingness.

Even time and space seemed to have lost their due meaning.

Only the figure emitting a faint white light and the sound of footsteps that kept echoing added a few different scenes to the unchanging darkness.

Suddenly, two golden lights quietly lit up in the darkness.

At the same time, a mechanical and rigid sound spread out, breaking the long-lasting darkness and silence.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the secret realm of the immortals!"

Wei Tao stopped, his eyes calm and indifferent, staring at a tall figure sitting in front of him with a sword across his sword.

"Taoist weapons made by Earth Immortal?"

He took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, and sighed with inexplicable emotion when he spoke again.

"Compared to the three-headed and six-armed Spirit God Taoist soldiers, you can actually talk and communicate with people, which is a bit beyond my expectations."

“So, it seems that the Faceless Man’s statement that the Earth Immortal has reached the threshold of ascending to the sky is not just a lie.

At least in my opinion, compared with the earthly immortal named Lingshen, your master can not only give birth after death, but even the Taoist soldiers he creates have a little more wisdom and spirituality. "

"So, what's your name?"

"What is the name of the master who created you?"

The tall figure sitting upright with Hengjian showed no reaction.

Just a moment later, he repeated what he had said.

"Who are you, how dare you break into the secret realm of the Immortal!"

"You can only say this?"

"It seems I'm overthinking it."

"I thought I could still communicate with it and get more information about the Earth Immortal, but it turned out to be just a rigid program."

Wei Tao sighed secretly and slowly came closer.

"Trespassing into the secret realm of Shangxian without permission, anyone who comes will be killed on the spot!"

A loud shout filled with murderous intent suddenly sounded.

Wei Tao narrowed his eyes, tensed his body slightly, and watched the opponent draw his sword and stand up.

Click!

Click, click, click!

It was accompanied by a scalp-numbing sound.

Wei Tao's expression also became a little surprised, even mixed with a little confusion.

The Earthly Immortal Taoist soldiers drew their swords.

What was pulled out was fine sand scattered in all directions.

It slowly stood up from the ground where it was sitting.

The entire body collapsed and disintegrated.

Like the long sword, it turned into a pile of decayed dust.

Wei Tao stopped and slowly loosened his clenched fists, his whole body couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

"I don't know how long ago, the Earth Immortal died in a calamity, and now even the Taoist weapons he created have turned into ashes and dispersed.

It seems that after a long period of time, even dead objects cannot escape the end of decay and decay.

As the saying goes, God's will is like a knife and difficult to follow, and time flows like water, cutting and washing away everything. Regardless of whether everything in the world has spirit or not, it is difficult to break away from the laws of birth, old age, illness and death, and formation, residence and destruction of emptiness. "

Ahead, beyond a pile of dust on the ground, stood a large door.

Wei Tao didn't hesitate much and pushed the door open directly.

The scene he saw in front of him was very different from what he expected.

It is not a blurry scene of flesh and blood, but a beautiful picture that unfolds slowly.

Small bridges, flowing water, and green mountains.

The water is like the waves in the eyes, and the mountains are like the peaks of eyebrows.

Everything is like a landscape in an ink painting.

Wei Tao sighed secretly, feeling inexplicably that time and space were out of order.

It was as if I had suddenly arrived at the vibrant Jiangnan water town from the dilapidated and gloomy city.

But in this intoxicating beauty, there is an extremely inconsistent trace.

On the ground ahead, a crack extending out was clearly visible.

It is bright red in color, like a scar that cannot be healed, and there is an aura of decay and decay inside.

It felt to Wei Tao like there was a hideous wound across the entire body of the beautiful woman's skin.

At a glance, one can even ignore all the beauty here, leaving only a feeling of unreasonable irritation and disgust.

What kind of thing is this thing that disfigures the scenery?

Wei Tao frowned slightly, and such questions naturally emerged in his mind.

As if he heard his heartfelt voice, a high-pitched and childish voice quietly sounded, lingering in his ears.

"Father, this is Immortal Shang."

This sentence came without any warning, and even made Wei Tao stop thinking for an instant.

"What are you talking about?"

he asked confused.

"This red crack is Immortal Shang."

"What is Immortal Sorrow?"

Wei Tao was mid-sentence when he suddenly came back to his senses and said, "Wait a minute, what was the first thing you said just now?"

"This red crack."

"No, the previous sentence."

She was so thin and immature that she couldn't hear the voices of men and women and was silent for a moment, "The previous sentence is, this is Xian Shang."

"As for the previous sentence, what did you just call me?"

Wei Tao waved his hands, his tone and expression already a little irritable.

"Father."

"Stop, that's it."

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, trying to calm down.

"Don't cause trouble for me."

"Don't think that if you call me daddy, I will be bound by this false family affection and dare not skin and bone you and eat you."

"Also, does your mother know that you call me dad?"

"More importantly, Senior Sister Ni doesn't know you exist at all, so you shouldn't exist."

After a long time, the high-pitched voice slowly sounded again.

"Taiyi guards the corpse, Taiyin trains the body, my mother gave me a physical body after her death, but there is no corresponding god."

"Therefore, I am unable to have both form and spirit, and become a true corpse immortal body. I am trapped behind this door and cannot be freed. I can only accept many outsiders, hoping to find my father among them."

"I originally thought that Lingzhen, who likes to hide in hiding, would come, and the child had made a lot of preparations in advance for this. But he didn't expect that it would be his father who came in the end."

"Thankfully, today, my father's immortal body is here in person, so that I can imbue my child with gods. Only in this way can the body and soul become one, breaking the boundaries and becoming a corpse immortal.

More importantly, the bloodlines contained in my father's body seem to be related to the ancient Holy Spirit in my chaotic memory, which can be said to be a great help and benefit to me. "

Wei Tao listened silently without interrupting from beginning to end.

Only after the high-pitched voice finished speaking, he continued to ask, "Okay, you can tell me now what the immortal sorrow represented by this bright red crack means."

"Shang means injury. The meaning of immortal sadness is naturally the wound caused by the death of an immortal."

"I thought it had some special meaning. Isn't it the wound left on the Earth Immortal's body after doing it for a long time?

As a result, you changed the word "Xian Shang" from your mouth, and suddenly you felt a little bit happy, and there was also a little bit of awkward feeling that people couldn't describe. "

"What my father said is absolutely true, but I also feel that something is wrong. Just because I was born here, I have continued to use this statement after I had the memory."

"oh?"

"Were you born from this?"

Wei Tao was stunned again, and his expression became a little subtle.

After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but look at the crack one more time.

It is bright red in color and opens and closes slightly, like a living thing.

"Um!?"

Suddenly, his pupils shrank to a point.

Looking through the crack, he could vaguely see the figure of a gorgeous woman.

She stood in the middle of a group of people and looked towards him as well.

But that's not the point.

The real focus is behind them.

At that moment, Wei Tao sensed the terrifying aura of annihilation and nothingness, which swept and enveloped everyone with an unstoppable gesture.

The next moment, a cold light suddenly appeared.

It sank into the woman's body like lightning.

Her whole body was torn apart and turned into mutilated corpses of different sizes.

Most of the wreckage immediately turned into ashes and dispersed. Only a piece of it was preserved, floating silently in the dark void. It took unknown how many years to turn into the current city of gloom.

At this moment, Wei Tao suddenly felt a sense of emptiness.

It even gave him an inexplicable feeling of despair, all dharmas, and silence.

Wei Tao frowned and fell into deep thought.

I don’t know how long it took.

Maybe just for a brief moment.

The high-pitched voice sounded slowly again.

"This is when my mother passed away."

"When I had nothing to do, I would often sit here and look at her, without moving for a long time."

"At the beginning, I couldn't understand it all. I was like an ant living underground. I couldn't imagine the violent storm, lightning, and thunder."

After a long silence, Wei Tao nodded slowly, "Well frogs cannot talk to the sea, and summer insects cannot talk to the ice. That's probably what it means."

After a pause, he continued to ask, "Through this bright red crack, I found that besides her, I saw more than one person. Could it be that they are all earth immortals at the same level as her?"

"Not all are earthly immortals, there are also scattered immortals among them, and there is also a heavenly immortal among them."

"A heavenly being, a heavenly being who lifts up the clouds and rises to the sky?"

Wei Tao's eyes flashed with light, his expression confused and thoughtful.

The high-pitched voice replied, "Yes, it's a fairy."

"Is what you said true? Why do I always feel like you are lying to me?"

"There is absolutely no need for me to lie to you. After all, this is something that really happened a long time ago. It makes no sense for me to lie about it."

Wei Tao sighed and pointed to the environment revealed deep in the crack, "The scene you can see here is where the Earth Immortal was originally?"

"yes."

"There are still many earthly immortals gathering?"

"have."

"Then where did they go?"

"Like her, dead."

"Is anyone still alive?"

"No."

"How did they die?"

"I have no idea."

"She died after a calamity. What calamity did she go through?"

"I still don't know."

The high-pitched voice paused, "I only know that in my somewhat chaotic and fragmented memory, after my mother died, another immortal came here, and a series of things happened next."

"What happened next?"

"Later, those immortals also died."

"How did you die?"

"I don't know how he died."

"It's so hard to talk to you, even harder than fighting."

Wei Tao took a deep breath again, exhaled slowly, and continued expressionlessly, "Last question, you just mentioned the unity of form and spirit, what does this have to do with me?"

"After my father entered the City of Gloom, I felt the true meaning of Xuanyuan coming across the dark void. Although it was blocked, distorted, blocked and isolated by the City of Gloom, it was able to make me feel something in my heart. There is a person in my heart. Vague perception.

For father, the true meaning of these mysterious thoughts may affect your true spirit and soul, but I will not have such a problem, so this is the god I need, and I am more attracted by it than the true spirit and soul of other immortals. . "

The shrill voice became clearer and clearer.

Immediately afterwards, a magnificent figure slowly emerged from the bright red crack.

The two of them stood in silence, one on the left and one on the right, using the crack as the dividing line.

Wei Tao stared at her silently, and suddenly he couldn't tell the difference between the woman in front of him and the illusory figure he just saw from the crack.

"I appear in front of my father as my mother. Do you think she is beautiful?"

"It's so beautiful that it makes people drool."

“I inherited my mother’s earthly immortal bloodline, and then inherited my father’s true spirit and soul, which can truly complete the missing half and enable me to walk the world in a complete manner.

From now on, the biggest obstacle will no longer exist. I can even use the body of a corpse immortal to achieve the realm of earth immortals and reach a high level of haunting dreams. I can also be regarded as truly different from those monsters and become a unique existence. . "

Wei Tao looked away from her and looked at the red crack called Immortal Shang.

"I roughly understand that you are actually one of those monsters, but you are the strongest and most intelligent among them."

“My father’s eyes were sharp and he could see my roots at a glance.”

"They are ignorant and can only act on instinct, which has caused me a lot of trouble. However, since today, since I have completed myself, I can clean them all up and turn them into the source of my strength."

She smiled sweetly, with beautiful eyes looking forward to it, and said slowly, "Your vision, knowledge, and strength are much stronger than Lingzhen, who I have high hopes for. My hard wait has finally been in vain. Looking forward to your arrival.”

Before the voice fell, she disappeared from the same place.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of Wei Tao.

There was no light on, and no fancy abilities. It was just a single punch, hitting it from top to bottom.

Wei Tao narrowed his eyes suddenly.

There were no green mountains and green waters in front of him, and the bright red crack was no longer there. There was only a chaos that could not be described in words.

It was still changing its shape, and finally it suddenly turned inward.

It was as if an invisible ripple flashed past, and everything turned into nothingness at this moment.

There was no sound, no color, it seemed like everything had ceased to exist.

And deep in the void, something seemed to be surging, like a mighty river, rushing rapidly.

"This is pure earthly immortal power."

"The power erupted from the body of the Earth Immortal Bloodline has even been able to affect my perception."

Wei Tao's heart moved, and he finally saw the fist as white as jade.

He has no thoughts, no self, no form.

The body rapidly expanded and became larger, the essence, energy, and will were condensed into one place, and the power of the whole body was gathered into one. Starting with the Emperor's Seal, the Hunyuan was transformed and unified in the middle, and finally merged into the Palm of the Great Sun God.

Don’t dodge, don’t evade, don’t retreat, don’t give in.

Head on head-on.

Her eyes were golden, like two points of starlight.

Wei Tao's eyes were blazing white, like the rising sun shining in all directions.

The two figures disappeared at the same time.

They collided head-on just above the bright red fissure.

The sound is loud, but the elephant is invisible.

The eyes cannot see and the ears cannot hear.

Until a huge shock wave centered on the two figures and violently erupted in all directions.

A loud rumble broke the deathly silence.

The terrifying shock wave spread rapidly outward.

It was like a huge wave surging, flattening a large area of ​​the ground.

After a dozen breaths.

Wei Tao stood up straight little by little, wiped away the blood flowing happily from his mouth and nose, and stared at the changing and twisting figure with an expressionless face.

"Being born with the blood of Earth Immortal is really extraordinary."

He slowly exhaled a bloody breath, and when he spoke again, his voice was filled with excitement, "You put a lot of pressure on me, but it's not enough to achieve the goal I want."

"What do you want to achieve?"

"I want you to beat me to death, or be beaten to death by me."

Wei Tao stepped forward and stepped on the ground, flames rising all over his body, "This is the game between us, and the bet is the life and death of one of us."

She changed back to the way she had just appeared, with a faint smile on her face, "I learned from my chaotic memory that my mother once said that fate is like a chess game. Many times, one wrong move will lead to consequences. All bets are lost.

Therefore, my mother doesn’t like to gamble on winning or losing, and she doesn’t like the feeling of being unable to control it. After all, there is no regret in betting, and sometimes winning or losing can mean life or death. "

Wei Tao nodded and asked casually, "So in your opinion, did you win or lose this game?"

"You are very powerful, beyond my expectation."

She sighed softly, "I thought I was sure to win, but now until the last moment, I don't know what the outcome will be."

"But even my mother dare not say anything about whether she is qualified to be a chess player. More often than not, she is just a pawn in the game. She can only drift with the general trend, and she cannot even control her own life or death.

But my level is far from that, so I can only set goals to keep getting stronger. First, I must become a figure like my mother, and then I can try to jump out of the chessboard, or even reach the position of a chess player, and truly have control. opportunity for your own destiny. "

Wei Tao said, "If you want to jump out of the chessboard, there is actually another option. It just depends on whether you want to do it or not."

"oh?"

She frowned lightly, her eyes moving, "This is a question that even my mother is confused about. How can you give an answer so easily?"

"Everything has pros and cons. Sometimes it's hard to think about it the right way, but once you think about it the other way around, the world will be brighter with just one thought."

Wei Tao lowered his eyes, "As long as you are beaten to death by me here, just lift the chessboard to him, and I will bear all the dangers on your behalf.

Any chess piece or chess player will be nothing more than a passing cloud from now on. No matter how strong or powerful they are, they cannot threaten your life in the slightest. "

She listened silently and suddenly laughed.

"Without life, there will indeed be no more threats to life."

"Is this what a father's love is like? It almost moved me to the point of being speechless."

"However, my mother once said that if you want to survive the boundless sea of ​​suffering and reach the other side, you can't help others, you can only rely on yourself to walk through it step by step. Only in this way can you be truly transcendent."

"So, I don't have any second choice."

Boom! ! !

It was like the sound of muffled thunder exploding between heaven and earth.

The two figures collided head-on again.

One side is a monster born from the corpse of an Earth Immortal and possessing the blood of an Earth Immortal.

On one side is the Vajra Dharmakaya, which is chaotic and formless, above all limits.

There was also a trace of Xuanwu Suzaku and Gui Che Tan Snake bloodlines incorporated into it, which immediately raised the body's strength to a higher level.

"A battle of this level fills me with tremors of excitement from the inside out."

Another fierce collision without any fancy, Wei Tao's ferocious and thick legs stepped heavily on the ground, and then took a step forward.

She raised her head suddenly, her eyes reflecting the ferocious giant claws that were rapidly approaching.

Click!

A slender arm was raised, meeting the sharp claws that crashed down.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The blazing white flames suddenly boiled and pierced into her body desperately.

Correspondingly, a golden light burst out, all falling on the surface of the ferocious claw.

The two figures flew out simultaneously, rolled and hit the ground, creating two straight passages.

"The bloodline of the Earth Immortal is indeed a terrifying and domineering power."

Wei Tao's face was expressionless, and he raised his right arm with broken bone spurs and fallen black scales. His tongue full of barbs scraped and sucked on it, as if he was tasting the most delicious delicacy in the world.

The golden blood stained on the palm of the hand has a life-like squirming attack, but in the end it cannot escape the ending of being swallowed and absorbed.

boom!

The blazing white flames that had dimmed rose again, and the wounds on Wei Tao's body began to heal visibly, but they returned to their original state in just a few breaths.

"The amount of bleeding is too small, more is needed..."

He lowered his head little by little and stared deeply at the twisted figure who had just stood up, without concealing the burning desire in his eyes.

"In my mother's remaining memory, even the Ruyi True Immortal among the loose immortals seems not as strong as your body."

The dress on her body was torn, so she simply tore it off. Dots of golden blood stained her fair skin, revealing a strange beauty.

But the next moment, with a sharp and shrill howl, all the beauty ceased to exist.

She turned into a twisted and crazy mixture of flesh and blood, with dense golden tentacles extending from it.

One end of the tentacle was connected to her body, and the other end was submerged deep into the scarlet crack, dancing wildly in the void.

boom! ! !

Wei Tao's body sank suddenly, and the pressure he endured doubled at this moment.

Buzz!

Immediately afterwards, dense golden tentacles intertwined and surged, as if the roots of a giant tree were spreading and growing.

A large and tight net was soon formed, and it fell towards Wei Tao.

At this moment, he spread his wings, wrapped in blazing white flames, and flew into the depths of the golden net like a moth.

Amidst the tooth-piercing friction sound, Wei Tao pulled away and was tightened again, but he still couldn't get rid of the restraint.

Click!

He opened his mouth sharply to the back of his ear, penetrated deeply with the bone spurs of the vacuum, and began to suck wildly and violently.

Golden lines appeared one after another, all converging into Wei Tao's mouth.

A sharp howl full of pain sounded, and the big net began to squeeze and deform, trying to crush him and strangle him to death.

The two sides began a bloody and brutal tug of war.

over time.

There was a crisp sound.

Large black scales with moiré patterns detached from Wei Tao's body and were immediately turned into powder.

Immediately afterwards, more and more scales and bone spurs were crushed and exploded, revealing the body surface covered with dark golden cuticles underneath.

After the first breach of defense, there was a series of penetrating attacks.

Click!

Click, click, click!

In the fierce confrontation, more than half of the cloud-patterned black scales flipped and shattered, instantly bursting out into a cloud of scarlet blood mist.

Huge energy was mobilized, and the blood network acupoints expanded and contracted desperately to repair the damaged body.

Destroy, repair, destroy again, repair again...

In the process of continuous repair, more and more golden tentacles became dry and shrunk. .

Until the balance is finally broken.

For the first time, the rate of destruction did not catch up with the rate of repair.

There is not even one golden tentacle out of ten.

The deepest twisted body was finally exposed.

"Strictly speaking, you are the same as those monsters in the City of Darkness."

"It's just that you are more pure and naturally stronger than them."

Taking a piece of the still twisting tentacle into his mouth, Wei Tao licked his golden-red lips.

"Now I suddenly regret that I brought you in front of me."

After a long silence, a high-pitched voice came out from the twisted flesh and blood, "But to stand out from all the others, I have been biting and preying countless times before I finally obtained this Earth Immortal bloodline inheritance."

Wei Tao spread his wings, surrounded by two long snakes, "So, what do you want to express?"

"My mother once said before that fate never pays any attention to the weak, nor does it show any favor to them. Therefore, things in this world are just about the jungle and the strong.

Therefore, in order to control my own destiny, I must defeat you, and I will definitely be able to defeat you, and then swallow your true soul to complete myself. "

"It has form but no spirit. I didn't expect you to be so aloof."

"Everything is said by the Earth Immortal. You are simply a mama's girl. You don't even have thoughts that truly belong to you."

Wei Tao slowly moved his body and made a series of clicking sounds.

"Now it seems that even if you win this battle and swallow my true soul to complete the other half, what you will get in the end will not be a brand new you. It is more likely that the Earth Immortal will use a special kind of Ways of twisting and rebirth.”

"That's complete nonsense!"

"I am me, I can only be me. Ever since I was born, I have been the only irreplaceable existence!"

She was full of anger, growling deeply.

The two sides collided suddenly.

A more bloody battle will explode.

I don’t know how long it took before everything returned to calm.

Wei Tao slowly stood up from the messy ground, chewing and swallowing something freely in his mouth.

At his feet was a mutilated corpse of a monster.

It looked extremely miserable.

But even though it was fatally injured, it still opened its eyes wide and stared at the figure in front of it that was slowly recovering from the wound.

After a while, Wei Tao swallowed the blood in his mouth, leaned down slightly, and got close to its moving lips.

"I don't know now why I failed so miserably."

She murmured to herself, "The City of Gloom blocks the surrounding dark void and isolates you from the spiritual connection with the ancient Holy Spirit. And in the core of the earthly immortal remains, I can strengthen myself with the help of my mother's flesh and blood. The two combined, this I should have the upper hand.

So I can't understand why you still have such a strong body that can withstand my fatal attack.

Even when I take action, it can trigger the burning flames of Suzaku, and the death energy of Xuanwu's true meaning, which is even beyond my ability to deal with it. "

Faced with its doubts and confusion, Wei Tao did not give any explanation, but punched it down without hesitation, cutting off its remaining trace of life.

Then he slowly said, "The power of the Earth Immortal is very strong, but you cannot fully control it. You are just borrowing it from the beginning to the end, and you have not blazed your own path at all, so your defeat is inevitable.

As for the isolation of the City of Darkness, I can only say thank you for giving me the opportunity to examine myself, summarize and control it. "

Its vitality quickly waned.

In an instant, he had stepped onto the edge of the abyss of death.

"I only have form, but no spirit. I am incomplete and imprisoned here. Naturally, it is difficult for me to find my own path."

At this point, its eyes suddenly moved, "But according to your point of view, the city of darkness has not played its due role in isolating the true meaning of Xuan Nian. Instead, it has helped you. Your level of strength has reached another level?"

"You're right, so I have to thank you."

"It turned out to be like this. What I thought was an advantage turned out to be your help."

"My mother once said that if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. But I don't know myself or the enemy. Defeat is indeed what I should expect."

It exhaled a long breath, and its twisted body transformed again, turning into the flawless body of an earthly immortal.

"My mother gave me life, and I will leave with her now. When I think of this, I even have some thoughts of expectation."

Wei Tao did not comment on this, but with a serious expression on his face, he asked very seriously, "Is the Earth Immortal really dead?"

It slowly closed its eyes, "My mother failed to cope with the calamity. Naturally, her soul was destroyed, and only her mutilated body remained."

Snapped!

A soft sound rang out.

It was as if glazed porcelain was quietly shattering.

The bright red crack slowly opened, took it in, and quickly disappeared.

Wei Tao stood aside and observed quietly without any obstruction from beginning to end.

He didn't know if as time passed, a new one would be born again and embark on the same path as it again.

All he knew was that after devouring the earthly immortal flesh and blood essence, he felt very uncomfortable, not ordinary.

The true soul cannot fully control the current body, and is almost on the verge of losing control.

"This is a nice, nice place."

"It's a pity that I can't eat anymore. If I force myself to continue eating, it's not impossible to turn into a monster like her."

"So there's no point in staying here any longer. It's better to find a way to leave a mark first. When the need arises, we can come back and replenish ourselves."

Taking one last look at the bright red crack that had returned to calm, Wei Tao resisted the urge to investigate, turned around and left without hesitation, quickly disappearing at the end of the path he had passed when he came.

…………

……………………

Cangyuan City is one hundred and fifty miles north.

The wilderness outside the Hu family's Bailiu Village.

The autumn wind was howling, and the cold rain was flying.

Ripples suddenly appeared in the void.

A figure slowly appeared from nothing.

The sound of weapons colliding and the sharp shouts of killing were heard by Wei Tao at this moment.

He blinked his somewhat scattered eyes, looked around, and suddenly found himself in the center of a tragic battlefield.

Swish!

A cold light suddenly flashed.

The long knife cut through the dark rain curtain and slashed heavily at his chest.

Not long ago, he had just fought with the leader of the Xuan Shen tribe, Ying Zi, and Ling Zhen here.

After that, he chased into the Dark City and had a life-and-death battle with the monster born from the essence of the earthly immortal bloodline.

After a series of battles, facing such a knife again, he couldn't help but feel a little confused, and even felt that everything that happened before was just a dream.

This knife was not too strong.

But too weak.

It was simply too weak to the bottom line.

Wei Tao had a blank expression on his face, and his heart was calm.

He watched the knife slash at him.

He had no intention of moving to avoid it, or raising his hand to block it.

Crack!!!

The blade fell and immediately broke into several pieces.

It couldn't even cut the spider silk robe.

"A disciple of the Spiritual Religion?"

Wei Tao stretched out his arms and gently lifted the stunned man to him.

At this moment, there was another crisp sound of crackling.

He slowly turned around and faced the back.

His eyes fell on another woman who was in doubt.

"A disciple of the Qinglian Sect?"

"How did you get involved?"

"Is there a religious war between the foreign spiritual gods and the local Qinglian?"

This small-scale melee started at some point.

But it was declared over in the third breath after Wei Tao appeared.

After all, within three breaths, almost all the warring parties were killed, so it was naturally impossible to continue the battle.

There was only one frightened believer left on each side, who was trembling with fear in his throat by Wei Tao.

"Tell me, what is going on between the Spirit God and the Green Lotus, and how did the Land of Rebirth and the Earthly Immortal Spirits conflict?"

The Green Lotus Sect woman just sneered and said nothing. Even when facing the corpses on the ground, she looked indifferent to life and death.

The Spirit God believer gritted his teeth and said, "We had no grudges against them, but they suddenly attacked us and captured our God Sons. They went to war with us without any signs."

"Dog bites dog, a mouthful of fur, I don't want to care about your business."

Wei Tao threw the two to the ground and looked down at the Green Lotus Sect woman, "But I am a little curious, what do you want to do by capturing their God Sons?"

"The envoy has ordered it, of course for the Earthly Immortal Yuanling, we..."

Before she finished her words, her eyes suddenly rolled back, her breathing became rapid, and in an instant she was on the verge of life and death.

Wei Tao stepped forward and looked up at the sky with dark clouds hanging low.

"The envoy has ordered it?"

He frowned slightly and saw a long illusory gray-white river passing through the night sky, looming in his eyes.

"The true meaning of Weak Water is so clear. Could it be that there have been some special changes in the Qinglian Sect's place of rebirth?"
