Chapter 459: Years of Cultivation, God’s Appearance Without a Trace"call out--!" "Boom!" Before Chong Yan had time to catch his breath, Cheng Zhen attacked again, casting a spell very simply and waving his hands to shoot out dazzling purple lightning that pierced through the void, accompanied by invisible airflow and wind blades. Dense slashes filled the entire ruins. "Pfft!" "Pfft!" Chong Yan was slashed hundreds of times in an instant. The roaring lightning shattered his magic armor. After losing his defense, he was like a fish on a chopping board, almost dismembered on the spot. His whole body became bloody and gasping. "Is that the extent?" Chong Yan showed a chilling smile and allowed the magic and killing moves to bombard his body. The speed at which the wound healed was simply horrifying. It was still a little difficult at first, but as the power of the salamander blood in his body was fully stimulated, he now felt like he was bathed in a spring breeze. The fierce and crazy slashing made it impossible to stop his regeneration. "."
Seeing this, Cheng Zhen stopped his attack. In the past ten breaths, he chopped the monster 37,200 times. Instead of turning into blood foam, the opponent became more vigorous, and the Qi he emitted was even stronger than in the previous fight. This made his face look serious. "It's my turn!" "boom!" Chong Yan's right arm swelled violently, becoming deformed and weird, and it actually turned into an axe-like bony animal hand. He rushed forward and stretched out his hand. His speed was particularly terrifying, as if he had traveled through time and killed directly in front of him. "!" At this moment, Cheng Zhen's pupils shrank slightly. Feeling the threat of death, he retreated violently without a moment's hesitation, keeping a safe distance away. "Oh!" Before that, there was a sound of explosion, as if a huge transparent bubble exploded, and countless pitch-black demonic blood emerged out of thin air, gathering strength from a certain point, erupting from the inside to the outside, covering all areas. "call out!" "call out!" The attack missed, and Chong Yan chased after Cheng Zhen closely. The blood drops suspended beside him slowly moved. Upon closer inspection, they were completely insect eggs, containing some kind of biological larvae curled up into a ball. Cheng Zhen concentrated his mind and remained alert. Even with a triple-qi body, he did not dare to hastily get stained with the devil's blood that made him uneasy. He directly activated his killer move, the Innate Qi Fire. He put the middle and index fingers of his right hand together to form a sword and pointed at the void in front of him. "Pong!" "Boom!!!" The bright white flames raged like a torrent of water, drowning the countless incoming demonic blood, and in an instant burned them to melt and evaporate rapidly. “Squeak!!” The membrane wall of the insect eggs withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the creatures entrenched inside let out sharp cries and shattered into wisps of ashes.
"You entered the third level?" Chong Yan's voice was filled with a hint of disbelief. When the battle reached a white-hot stage, the techniques used by the younger generation were all things he had never seen in the sect. Even if the ordinary second level of Rebirth is at its peak, it cannot achieve this level. The only possible explanation that makes sense is that the person has reached the third level of rebirth, and may have touched a mysterious realm that no disciple in history has been able to touch, mastered all kinds of incredible means, and mobilized the Qi of all things in heaven and earth for his own use. "What do you think?" Cheng Zhen's eyes were indifferent, his frosty hair fluttering in the wind, and wisps of white flames gathered in his palms. He thought about it and controlled the stream of fire to attack Chong Yan. However, the innate Qi that could burn everything and was invincible was intercepted. Chong Yan sacrificed an ancient pottery jar as a magical tool, hanging upside down in the air, like the entrance to the abyss, engulfing the mighty flames as if there was no limit. "triple." "You actually went in, huh, so what?" The whistling of the cold wind brought back Chongyan's memories. Once upon a time, he, his fellow apprentices, and his teacher had longed for the triple level. They studied for their entire lives, but in the end, they still could not achieve it and it was all in vain. The most important thing is that he knew the secret of Sanchong and the sect's origin. Even if he entered the third level, he still could not escape the fate of destruction. That was the beginning of his change in mentality. In order to go further, he had to plan ahead and walk a path that no one had ever stepped on before. Only then would there be infinite possibilities. If he rebuilt the old path, the result would be the same. "It doesn't matter if it's the third level. I'll kill you and see who is better between the paths we've chosen!" A fierce look flashed across Chong Yan's eyes, and he smiled towards the sky. His body was crumbling, as if it was the precursor of some kind of transformation. The demonic blood in his body began to burn like fuel, and his true energy leaked out uncontrollably, forming a dark cloud that covered the entire ancient village in an instant. "Boom!" Cheng Zhen took a deep breath. As he was gradually losing ground, he stopped worrying and decisively took another option. The body mutated instantly, and soon, it was in a special demonic state. The eyes reflected the red moon, the skin was as hard as iron, and the appearance became fierce and evil. There was a hideous pattern between his eyebrows, and the surging demonic energy was undoubtedly the source of his power. Similar to the incarnation of a demon king, his blood and strength soared in a straight line, and instead, the original body in the form of demon energy disappeared. Cheng Zhen displayed the magical power of the bloodline of the extraordinary creature Qingxuan Ancient Dragon, Zhuzhao, and a pale grey light stream suddenly and violently shot out. The terrifying power made the sun and moon dim and the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked. "!!!" Chong Yan sensed the danger and was frightened. He tried to avoid it, but it was too late to cope with the extreme speed and he could only hastily control the magic weapon to resist. With a "bang!", the ancient pottery jar was hit. After a few moments of stalemate, it was covered with shocking cracks and shattered into pieces all over the sky. Smelly dark green corpse water and pale bones flowed out onto the ground, and evaporated into dust under the sweep of the light stream. "Boom!" Chong Yan's figure was tragically swept by the light stream, and most of his body was blown away, revealing his broken internal organs and flesh and blood tissues. The burn marks on them were particularly eye-catching. This time, regeneration seemed to have lost its effect. "Uh-huh." "thump!" Chong Yan knelt on one knee, his face pale and his breathing heavy. He was forcibly interrupted before he could reach his peak posture. The backlash was very serious, and the blood in his body, which was mixed with various forces, began to show serious signs of degeneration. "Triple. Triple"
"Can it be done to this extent?" "Or maybe you were born with special blood." Chong Yan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and slowly straightened his back. With each breath, the wound healed faster and his body was repaired. He looked at Cheng Zhen with his deep and vicissitudes eyes, extremely eager for the truth. "can do it." These three simple words, like the morning bell and evening drum, echoed in the old man's ears. He smiled and praised: "Yes, you pushed me to this extent." "But if you want to kill me, you're still a long way off." After saying that, Chong Yan stood up, his Qi still maintained at its peak state, without any sign of decline. "." Cheng Zhen lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the ruins underground, as if thinking about something. With the help of the true method, he clearly saw that for some unknown reason, a dark vein of evil within a hundred miles in radius was controlled by Chong Yan, and he lived and died with him. At this rate, unless the entire earth vein is exhausted, it will be difficult to kill him with that abnormal regeneration speed. "boom!" Just as he was thinking about countermeasures, Chong Yan counterattacked with an attack as fast as a storm. Twelve spherical lightning bolts hanging high behind him burst out with dense lightning. Each one was extremely thick, ten feet wide and a hundred meters long, attacking Cheng Zhen. "Kakakaka!!" In an instant, a bronze protective aura appeared on Cheng Zhen's body, which allowed him to withstand the lightning. He waved his right hand, and the fire of the musket condensed. He swung the tip of the gun, stabbing out a series of brilliant gun flowers like waves to resist the killing move. "Keep struggling." "I want to see how long you can hold on." Chong Yan formed seals with his hands and performed a secret technique. His figure blurred and swayed, split into two, two into four, and four into eight. In just one breath, he summoned sixteen complete clones, and the power of each body was almost the same as the original body. "Brother!" Zhuge Yu, who was watching from the sidelines, was horrified and couldn't help but exclaim. As a sorcerer, he was the first to sense that some kind of evil power had changed in the surrounding heaven and earth and was madly converging towards that person. In his opinion, the advantage he had previously enjoyed was gone in an instant. Fighting one against sixteen was a situation in which there was no chance of winning. "."
Suddenly, Cheng Zhen's face changed slightly, and a trace of bright red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth without warning. A crack appeared between his eyebrows, and it was obvious that he was affected by the Soul-Breaking Curse. Even though Jiang Mo had reminded him before he came, and his soul was strong enough, it would not be a problem if he was hit by seven or eight of them, and he would be able to withstand it. But Chong Yan had just activated his twelve clones to attack together. The invisible attacks from all directions locked onto his soul, causing certain injuries and directly interrupting his thoughts. "call out--!" Chong Yan seized this fleeting flaw, and quickly gathered all his strength in his deformed right elbow, using it as a battle axe. He crossed the distance of a hundred meters in an instant, setting off a powerful sonic boom, and the dark and brown skeleton was hit through the protective qi. "boom!" Cheng Zhen knew that he could not dodge in time, so he used his Cloud-raising Hand to meet the attack, trying his best to weaken the force. The moment the two sides made contact, a horrifying force shattered his finger bones. He flew backwards, bleeding into the air. Before he landed on the ground, several more killing moves came at him, submerging his figure. "Boom!!!" Flames shot up into the sky, and a huge dragon soared into the air, looking down at the earth. Its terrifying power solidified the space into invisible steel plates. It let out a long roar that shook thousands of miles away, and the turbulent wind and clouds swept in all directions, shattering the nearest ruins of the ancient village into dust. Chong Yan and his fifteen clones were severely injured one after another, vomiting blood, and their bodies were disintegrated at a speed visible to the naked eye due to the dragon's roar. The process was extremely painful, and he was roaring madly as if he was possessed by a demon. "call out--" "call out--" “Gurgle, gurgle!!” The fifteen clones transformed into rolling bloody evil energy and merged with the main body, undergoing indescribable changes and also giving birth to a giant beast. Its body shape was similar to that of a deep-sea monster, with countless tentacles growing on it and spitting out billowing poisonous mist. "Roar!!" Both sides fought fiercely with their maximum strength, and a war was about to break out. Zhuge Yu was anxious and asked, scratching his head: "Uncle, what should we do? Can you really handle this?" "believe him." "Send the people away first. I'll watch here." Jiang Mo gave the order with a smile, and Zhuge Yu immediately felt much more at ease. He turned around to take a look at the rescued hostages and moved again to send them farther away from the battlefield. "Boom!" Across the vast heaven and earth, the roar never stopped for a moment. The two giant beasts were fighting desperately, and countless amounts of blood were spilled from the sky. Dusk, night, dawn, day. The sun and the moon were reversed, and one mountain after another broke and collapsed. Three days later, the fierce battle came to an end. Chong Yan died of exhaustion, and the underground Disha Yin Vein was also destroyed. Cheng Zhen was seriously injured and could barely maintain a standing posture, but he looked exhausted and his breath was weak. Nearly one third of his body was lost in this battle, and even breathing caused severe pain in his nerves. "Win win" Zhuge Yu was shocked beyond words. His senior brother's strength was far beyond his expectations. If he were to fight this trial, he would not be able to hold on for so long, and defeat would be an inevitable trend. "Brother, bear with it, I have medicine." Before he finished speaking, Jiang Mo stopped him: "No need. At this time, his body is best able to tap its potential. Let's go to the next stop."
"what?" "Teng Snake Ancient Land." Jiang Mo took out a blueprint and provided the specific coordinates of Taixuan Mountain. Zhuge Yu summoned a magical weapon, which was a blanket embroidered with all kinds of strange beasts and scenes of mountains and rivers. As he urged it, it carried the three of them and headed straight south. One hour later, they successfully arrived at the ancient land of Teng Snake. Zhuge Yu, who was good at Qimen Feng Shui, solved the numerous restrictions without any difficulty. He took Jiang Mo and Cheng Zhen to the underground, isolated snake cave. Countless pale skeletons lay in the damp gray-black mud for nearly a hundred meters. The remaining demonic energy, after hundreds of years of corrosion, is still breathtaking, while the flesh and internal organs have long since turned into rotten meat and melted into the soil. Cheng Zhen was secretly shocked. Based on his eyesight, he roughly deduced that the Teng Snake had at least the strength of a demon king when it was alive, or possibly even higher. "Is that the raw material for us to make weapons?" Zhuge Yu was stunned when he saw the dark red soil under the skeleton. "Yes, after Teng Snake died, the lost blood, flesh, and essence combined with the Nine Evils Yin Earth to form an extremely heavy material, making it a good material for forging magical instruments." Having said that, Jiang Mo and the other two bowed silently as a sign of etiquette for the latecomers. "But what we need on this trip is the Nine Evils Yin Soil. Come with me." Jiang Mo followed the coordinates in his memory and walked to a corner of the cave, where there was a small pit with a gurgling spring, covered with black soil as bright and delicate as silk. Then, he arranged for Cheng Zhen to start collecting and practicing, and to merge the Nine Evil Yin Soil with the spleen. "it is good" "Zhuge, come here too." "Oh." The two of them each received a portion of Nine Evils Yin Soil. Jiang Mo ordered them to keep their minds clear and free of distracting thoughts. Then, he began to impart all the experience of refining, including how to do each step in detail and how to avoid some fatal and critical junctions. Those were the cultivation experiences that Jiang Mo had gained at the cost of his life and blood. If he took a wrong step, he would risk being torn to pieces. The two did not dare to slack off and kept everything in mind. "These are what I can teach you. They may have some limitations. I hope that in the process of cultivation, you can also find omissions that are different from mine, and pass them on to other disciples in the future." "Yes, Uncle Master, we understand." The two answered solemnly. "Well, go ahead, I'll protect you." During the conversation, the pendant on Jiang Mo's chest was already emitting silver light. Tables and chairs appeared, accompanied by thick volumes of ancient books piled on the table. He sat down gently, looked at the two juniors with a smile in his eyes, and gestured for them to go quickly. "If anything goes wrong, don't be afraid, I'm here, you just need to practice quietly." "Okay, thank you for your help." After a moment, Cheng Zhen and Zhuge Yu were worried that the noise made during their practice would affect each other, so they each set up a different barrier and kept a distance of several hundred meters. From that day on, the two of them practiced in seclusion. Jiang Mo stayed here silently, passing the time by reading ancient books, and his understanding of the several skills he practiced became more and more profound.
In a blink of an eye, half a year passed. One day, the barrier on the left side shattered. Cheng Zhen had already cultivated the fusion of the Nine Evils Yin Soil and the spleen. His expression was calm, with a warm smile on his lips. Even his injuries had recovered almost completely, and he was in excellent condition. "Uncle Master, it's done." "Okay." Jiang Mo felt relieved. Another month passed, and Zhuge Yu also succeeded. At this point, seven months had passed. Although the two had not made any obvious breakthroughs in their cultivation of reverse life, their combat power had indeed increased a lot. "Walk." After the two finished their training, Jiang Mo did not stay long and followed them to other coordinates where the Five Qi Extreme Objects had been found. With their speed, they crossed the mountains and seas and searched all the ruins in Kyushu in less than a day. However, things did not go as smoothly as expected. Among the four places, only the 'Bitter Sea Heavy Water' under the deep lake can be found. The others, such as Daytime Pure Fire, Ten Thousand Refined Black Gold and Ancient Years Jianmu, were either collected by other explorers first, or due to the parallel time and space, there are errors and they cannot be born in the same place in this world. In the end, he even went overseas, but to no avail, and had to give up temporarily. However, what made Jiang Mo happy was that the 'Bitter Sea Heavy Water' he found this time was enough for five people to practice. He took away four portions and left one portion at the bottom of the lake as a spring of regeneration. As long as it is still there, it will recover one day with the passage of time. The power of Cheng Zhen and Zhuge Yu was also approaching the limit allowed by the laws of the world. Jiang Mo no longer arranged for them to refine the heavy water of the bitter sea, but took them directly to another world line and repeated this cycle. In the blink of an eye, a year had passed, and the three had traveled through dozens of worlds from different eras. As they traveled through time and space again and again, the resources they could obtain became less and less. In the beginning, there were occasional explosions of Five Qi Extreme Objects, but later on, there was no gain in several consecutive world lines. It seemed as if there was some kind of divine will hindering them. Jiang Mo, who vaguely sensed this, stopped and decided not to entangle with the divine will any further. He knew clearly that within the limited rules, how much resources he could find and how much power he could expand the sect was entirely under the tacit approval of heaven. Once a certain limit was exceeded, he would probably face backlash. The fact that in multiple consecutive worlds with the same coordinates, the absence of the Five Qi Extremes is precisely a sign released by heaven, indicating that enough is enough. Along the way, Jiang Mo also considered looking for the lost Trinity Secret Realm to see if it could be opened. Unfortunately, he was blocked by fate and wandered aimlessly. He spent several weeks without any results. At the same time, he also went to the secret realm of Shenlin Sect in Mount Tai. The strange thing is that there is no secret realm there. This weird scene made Jiang Mo frown. He still didn't believe it, so he ordered two disciples to search every corner of the mountain, but they still couldn't find any trace of their existence. "Uncle-master, I have a guess." Cheng Zhen was quick-witted and had some ideas in mind. He planned to share his insights with his master. "explain." "Could this Shenlin Sect be visitors from other time and space just like us?" "Their origins are not even in the world we live in, but they migrated here directly using some unknown magical power?" His thoughts coincided with Jiang Mo's. "However, the situation here is divided into two types. One is that after people come here, they seize the secret realm and become the master. In the era when they appeared, the various sects were still in their heyday. They could not destroy the balance of the world, and thus gained the tacit approval of heaven;" "The second possibility is that they brought their original secret realm with them. If it's the latter, then we're in trouble. These guys are definitely tough guys." Zhuge Yu said with a hint of worry. "Let's go somewhere else and take a look."
To verify their hypothesis, the three of them came to the entrances to the secret realms of other secluded sects one after another. They could all sense that a huge magic array was operating, extracting mundane spiritual energy all the time. There is no doubt that the only abnormal one is the Shenlin Sect. Then, Jiang Mo patrolled several other world lines. After several twists and turns, he found that the Shenlin Sect did not exist at all. This means that the world line they are in may also be an abnormal variable, and was chosen by the Shenlin Sect as the relocation address. All clues were cut off. In the end, after two years of hard work, Jiang Mo had gained something. He collected 2 parts of Nine Evils Yin Soil, 8 parts of Daytime Sun Pure Fire, 4 parts of Wancui Black Gold, 5 parts of Ancient Years Jianmu, and 7 parts of Bitter Sea Heavy Water. Before the end of the time travel, one evening, under the setting sun, Cheng Zhen asked meaningfully: "Are you really not going back to take a look?" "See your master?" Jiang Mo asked back with a smile, and he flicked his hand casually. The stone between his fingers flew out, passing over the sparkling golden river in front of him, splashing beautiful waves. "Yes, it's a rare opportunity to come here, Uncle Master, are you really not going to take a look?" At this time, Zhuge Yu also echoed that to be honest, he really wanted to go see his master. "long time" Jiang Mo looked up, gazing at the setting sun and the gorgeous clouds, his thoughts drifting away as he murmured: "After 81 years of not seeing each other, how could I not miss you?" After a long while, he made a decision: "Go." "By the way, there is one thing I want to confirm." "boom!" As soon as the words fell, the space before his eyes suddenly shattered, and a vortex leading to another world line emerged, and the figures of several people disappeared one after another.
