Chapter 255: Same roots, same soul, same death

The faint light deep in the underground palace of the God's Tomb had long been extinguished, and the huge Thousand Soul Flower was hidden in the deep darkness.

The cold wind disappeared without a trace, the noisy and strange noises gradually faded away, and everything was as dead silent as death.

Xu Yuanchang was trapped in a predicament where he could hear the sound of his own blood flowing. The darkness seemed to be sealed and the dangerous moment was approaching. He simply closed his eyes, and with his left hand hidden in his sleeve, he kept making hand gestures of the Floating Dust Illusion Seal. His mind was purer than ever before.

He could sense the invisible aura of solitude and decay around him, like transparent water waves passing by, with wisps of gray-white soul threads mixed in it, stealthily trying to approach from all directions, but when it was a few feet away, it would quickly shrink back into the darkness as if being burned by fire.

This is a battle where the opponent is invisible.

"If the enemy doesn't move, you don't move!"

The rabbit looked solemn and chattered non-stop: "The Thousand Soul Flower God was not a vegetarian when it was alive. Look at the skeleton soul mist wrapped around the petals. Each one is a cultivator or demon cultivator master it devoured. The remaining resentful souls and obsessions have become its accomplices after its death."

"The great master who killed the Thousand Soul Flower God back then must have considered this and built the Five Fallen Star Terrace Divine Tomb, hoping to slowly wear away the obsessions of all the resentful souls with time and gain benefits from it."

Xu Yuanchang could no longer bear it and asked in a voice transmission: "What is the strength of the Yin Spirit that trapped us?"

The rabbit was too long-winded. After several hours, he still didn't get to the point that he was concerned about.

"The strength of the Yin God is not important. To put it in this way, you are like a hedgehog monster covered with thorns. The Soul Flower Yin God has trapped you, but it has no way to swallow you. So you are currently in an invincible position. Just waste time with it."

"That's going to take that long?"

Xu Yuanchang secretly complained, "Your whole family are hedgehog monsters, how can you be invincible?"

He was doing several things at once, keeping his mind calm.

The more desperate the situation is, the more you must not get angry and avoid being impatient. It will not be too late to settle accounts with the rabbit after you escape from the predicament.

As he continued to release the Floating Dust Seal, the air around him was filled with countless invisible phantom seals that spread like dust. Even though they were taken away and disappeared one by one by the Silent God's erosion energy, he persisted in casting them.

This is also one of the few means he can use when he is in trouble.

He couldn't just sit there and wait for the evil spirit to come to him.

"When the Yin Spirit can no longer bear to devour you, that's your chance to fight back."

Rabbit said it as if he was joking, but he didn't mean to joke at all. He said, "You are like a piece of meat bone that has been sent into the mouth of the Yin God, making it salivate. It will swallow you up, it's just a matter of time."

He said it with certainty, in order to strengthen the little Taoist's confidence in victory.

Many times, "hearing is false, seeing is true". Rabbit could not actually observe the terrain of Cangpuling outside, as well as the details of the remaining two tomb-guarding villages, which caused the situation in the underground palace of the God's Tomb to deviate from his expectations.

He guessed that it was the old fellow who set up the Five Fallen Star Platform Divine Tomb who was forced to ascend to the upper realm.

The successor encountered an accident when entering the God's Tomb.

As a result, most of the skeleton soul mist wrapped around the petals was preserved, providing support and nutrients to the Yin God.

Xu Yuanchang stopped talking. He was always very patient and was ready for a thundering strike.

With the help of the illusory state of mind, the release of his Floating Dust Illusion Seal became more and more magical, and was able to spread to a range of more than ten feet, with dots of it stained the retreating gray-white soul threads.

Little by little, he moved around in the soul threads covered with phantom seals, and gradually outlined the situation around him.

He seemed to be surrounded by an enormous invisible net.

Just as the invisible giant net surrounded and pounced on him at the same time, Xu Yuanchang activated the divine light of creation without hesitation. The golden light spread out and instantly tore through the thick dark curtain. Sharp wails were heard from all over the underground palace.

Countless skeleton soul mists exploded, twisting and melting under the golden light.

The darkness suddenly closed in, and the huge petals were like the mouth of a monster, swallowing up the tiny human along with the sharp golden light. The intense pain caused the petal remains to tremble.

The remaining skeleton soul mist twisted and emitted all kinds of shrill and strange cries.

The empty underground palace made a rumbling sound.

The remains of the flower god slowly sank along with the ground, and rocks fell like rain.

Outside, the sun had risen to the treetops. The sudden and loud noise startled Bian Qiuyan and Liu Xianfeng, who were watching carefully.

Liu Xianfeng saw trees falling, rocks rolling, and dust rising in the distance. She had witnessed a landslide before and shouted, "Oh no! Cangpuling is going to collapse!"

Bian Qiuyan also reacted, feeling the rumbling vibrations from underground, and shouted, "Quick, let the villagers escape!"

Liu Xianfeng had cast a spell and swept across the two woods, and the cool wind woke up all the sleeping villagers.

Men, women, old and young were in a state of bewilderment, and heard shouting:

"Run for your life towards the light. The earth is turning over. Take the old and young with you and don't panic."

The villagers didn't know why they were in the wild woods, but the violent vibrations underground and the severe shaking of the trees were a real threat to their lives.

The fear of the earth dragon turning over comes from the heart.

The crowd shouted, carrying the elderly and children, and ran towards the light in the darkness.

Bian Qiuyan sent out several messages in succession, asking Yongchuan County to quickly send out monks from the Baijisi to resettle the villagers.

She flew in the air and saw the rolling stones destroying the houses in the village. The dust was rising and her heart sank even more.

Junior master-master is still in the mountains and hasn't come out yet.

How can this be good?

……

"Have you caught it?"

The rabbit heard all the noises and growled anxiously.

Opportunities are fleeting, and if the greedy Yin spirit is fooled and escapes, they will be in big trouble later.

As long as the Yin God trapped them in the God's Tomb and ignored them, after ten years, Xu would be rotten into ashes because the protective divine light of good fortune was exhausted. He would be in big trouble as well, being locked in the Fantasy Fairy Ring with no access to resources, living in darkness and with no way to predict good or bad fortune.

"We caught it, but we are also trapped among the petals."

With the help of the bright light from the golden burst, Xu Yuanchang saw that he was swallowed by the petals that looked like a giant mouth.

The petals closed together, forming a cage that surrounded him, leaving him less than five feet of space. The golden light he controlled turned and tightly wrapped around the black shadow on the other side of the petals.

"Hurry up and drag him in. Get rid of the Yin Spirit and we will be able to escape."

The rabbit looked delighted and called out urgently.

"I can't drag it. There's a wall of petals between me and the Yin God. It's at least ten feet away."

Xu Yuanchang's feet seemed to be stuck in something sticky. He moved with difficulty. He tried to consume the divine light of creation in order to entangle the struggling Yin God on the opposite side.

Rabbit almost cursed. Xu was a shrewd man with a poor grasp of the timing, so he consoled him, "It's okay. Don't let the Yin Spirit break free. Slowly consume it and absorb it. We can kill it in the end. We can afford it."

Countless phantoms appeared in the gaps between the petals, crowding and howling, and pounced on the human Taoist priest who had difficulty moving.

Xu Yuanchang's expression was indifferent, and his eyes suddenly swirled with dark green and red flames.

"Trigger the fire!"

Two-colored flames suddenly burst out from the phantom.

The phantom fire purified by the Altar of Creation is a blend of yin and yang, which complement each other and have extraordinary power.

Xu Yuanchang watched the phantoms that continued to fall one after another and burned in the air. He just breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly he felt a chill on his back. Without thinking too much, he subconsciously activated the prototype of the phantom armor hidden in his body.

A half-foot wide piece appeared and quickly rotated around the chest and back.

"Bang", an invisible energy force hit Xu Yuanchang's back, but was easily dissolved by the prototype of the phantom armor condensed from the essence of various materials, and the energy force shattered and dissipated in the air.

After two brief exchanges with the Yin God through the flower petals, he was able to get a feel for the other party's strength.

It was not as terrifying as one might imagine, perhaps because Yin Shen's most proud methods were restrained by his Fantasy Immortal Ring.

Xu Yuanchang's confidence increased greatly, and yin and yang flames rose from his feet.

"Sizzle", smelly smoke came out of the ground, and the stickiness and stagnation were greatly relieved. Xu Yuanchang moved step by step towards the gap between the petals. The divine light of creation tightly bound the Yin God opposite. In order to avoid more trouble, he had to go around from the side, face the Yin God directly, and urge more golden light to complete the task in one go, and roll the Yin God into the divine platform of creation.

It took Xu Yuanchang almost a cup of tea to travel the short distance of more than ten feet.

During this period, he used the prototype of phantom armor to block seven or eight attacks from invisible energy on his vital parts of the body.

Going around to the other side of the petals, under the shining golden light, he discovered that it was a huge space in the core of the flower. There were countless potholes and bumps on the semi-sloping ground. The black shadow was entangled on one of the curved pistils as thick as a pillar, trying to resist the suction of his divine light of creation.

Xu Yuanchang did not hesitate to activate the golden light and shoot out.

The black shadow let out an inhuman howl and cursed, "Asshole, if you dare to stand by and watch without using your full strength, I will drag you down with me to death..."

"Be careful, there is another Yin God lurking!"

The rabbit shouted a reminder.

Many doubts were suddenly solved. The various unreasonable and strange things in the tomb of the gods were related to the appearance of an extra evil god.

It is very likely that he was a later person who was in charge of the Tomb of the Gods. He accidentally fell into the Tomb of the Gods and had an accident. His soul simply left his body and he chose another way to survive.

Two-color flames and faint golden light appeared on Xu Yuanchang's body, and he protected himself first.

He chose to beat the captured Yin God to death. It was better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers. The Fantasy Fairy Ring burst out with an increasingly bright golden light, dissolving the black shadow that was howling and struggling for life.

"…We share the same roots and souls, the same fate and life. Command!"

The black shadow was unable to hold on alone, and wailed out a long string of mysterious spells.

Since it has no luck, it will never allow a fellow with the same “roots and soul” to live alone in the world.

The two of them hate each other, but they can't do anything to each other.

A hidden black shadow in the air twisted in pain and revealed itself, with a golden light wrapped around its body. The black shadow was so angry that it jumped up and yelled, "Fool, hold on for a moment longer. My Soul Flower Refining will be completed soon and will definitely save you from danger."

"You have been dawdling for so long, aren't you just waiting for me to be dealt with? What good intentions can you have? Since you are so unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."

The black shadow from before dragged his companion into the water and cursed at him.

Xu Yuanchang was overjoyed, and the dogs were biting each other with their mouths full of fur. He quickly separated a ray of golden light and tightly tied up the guy who was jumping around fiercely and vigorously, making them a pair of brothers in distress.

"Thousands of souls are of one mind!"

"A little bit of Ji Shen!"

"Edict!"

The two black shadows howled in pain and chanted the magic spell in the same rhythm. They were trapped at the same time, and the only way to survive was to join hands.

The rabbit was so anxious that he shouted: "Use the divine light of creation to attack! The brave one wins when two meet in a narrow road!"

Facing the threat of death, Xu Yuanchang felt uneasy in his heart. He subconsciously wanted to recite the real name of the three-legged Ben turtle. The giant Ben turtle monster had promised him that "reciting my real name can save you from disaster once."

When is there no need to wait any longer?

However, he discovered to his horror that he couldn't speak.

This place has become a deadly place where all laws and sounds are forbidden.

There was no time to waste, so he chose to unleash the divine light of creation again to attack the two monsters that had joined forces.

In this forbidden area, the divine light is unrestricted.

An invisible force surrounded and squeezed Xu Yuanchang, causing his soul to feel a sharp pain like being pricked by a red-hot needle. The precious clothes and other protective gear on his body could withstand the huge attack, but could not defend against the divine spells and secret techniques that were so close.

The three parties simultaneously let out loud and trembling cries of pain, which echoed in the space of the flower core.

It seems to alleviate the pain of hurting each other.

"Bang", the last Soul-Falling Stone refined by the two old predecessors Zeng and Chang on Xu Yuanchang's body was shattered, and the soul of the second-level fox demon dissipated in the air, finally being freed.

"Come again!"

Xu Yuanchang's mouth and nose were bleeding, and he was roaring with a distorted face.

The golden light burst out in waves, one stronger than the other, and the invisible divine spell turned into needles piercing the soul, the pain was also more intense than the last.

In the prisoner's dilemma, any other attack seems redundant.

What you need is the tenacity and perseverance to stick to it.

"Idiot, use the phantom armor!"

Rabbit was extremely anxious. He could hear three voices in the ring space, expressing their pain one after another.

He knew the power of some secret spells, and suddenly remembered that Xu still had an unformed treasure that could alleviate the damage caused by the spells, so he hurriedly called out to remind him.

Otherwise, if you continue to fight, even if you can win, you will probably become an idiot.

Xu Yuanchang's mind moved slightly, and the half-foot wide phantom armor prototype that surrounded his chest and back immediately wrapped up most of his head, leaving only his head exposed. He immediately felt the pain was reduced by half.

He was still howling in agony, even more miserable than before.

Rabbit heard the difference and scolded with a smile: "It's a pity that you don't go to sing opera."

Even though he works so hard, he is still able to play tricks.

Scorpion poop is unique.

By the time the two monsters that were fighting against the divine light discovered something was wrong, at least thirty to fifty breaths had passed.

Xu Yuanchang had a chance to catch his breath. Taking advantage of the fact that the pressure was much less severe than before, he rushed to the front of the black shadow and stretched out his hand to set on fire the black shadow that had been attacked for the longest time.

Jin Guang also paid special attention to taking care of the other party.

"go in!"

Following Xu Yuanchang's long roar, the thin black shadow could no longer hold on. The two-colored phantom fire became the straw that broke the camel's back, and it was twisted and rolled into the platform of creation by the golden light.

Another dark shadow made sounds of begging for mercy and making threats, but it did not last long and followed in the footsteps of its companions.

"Haha, you bastards, how do you want to die? Give me a squeak!"

The rabbit jumped in the air and let out vicious shouts.

Two dark shadows struggled and were spread out on the altar, begging for mercy and expressing their willingness to be slaves.

Xu Yuanchang let out a cold laugh, and the pressure around him disappeared.

This was his toughest and most dangerous battle so far. If the two ghosts had not been so united and scheming against each other, giving him the opportunity to defeat them one by one, he would probably have no chance today.

He has already experienced the benefits of phantom armor.

For the sake of his life, he had to complete the refining of the phantom armor as soon as possible.

Rabbit took advantage of the situation to ask the two ghosts who didn't want to die some questions, and they were roughly in line with his guess. Then he said carelessly: "Friend Xu, God has the virtue of loving life. Please keep them and don't refine them all."

"What's the explanation?"

"Haven't you practiced the incarnation technique of old man Yanshan? Wouldn't it be a pity to waste such a ready-made incarnation substitute material?"

As soon as the rabbit said this, the two ghosts that had just seen hope were thrown back into endless darkness.

A stream of obscenities erupted.

Xu Yuanchang waved his hand to make the two ghosts shut their stinky mouths.

Fellow Daoist Li's proposal was very much to his liking.
