Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. The sky was clear, cloudless, and the sun was high.

In the distance, a black shadow appeared in the field of vision, shooting out at an extremely fast speed.

"He's here, now it's up to you." Ding Jianyang's eyes flashed with light.

Tang Ning didn't answer, and moved in the direction of the figure.

The matter has reached this point, and the arrow has to be fired. Although I don't know what method Ding Jianyang used to deceive this person, but it is related to ancient ruins, and this opportunity will not happen again.

Dunguang in the distance was heading straight for the river. When he saw Tangning coming towards him, he was startled and suspicious. He stopped and was about to ask questions when he saw the other party's figure suddenly flash, and a feeling of neutrality suddenly rose in his heart. With an ominous premonition, the next moment, Tangning's figure appeared on his left side and her fist hit his head.

With a loud bang, a treasure seal appeared in front of him, blocking the blow.

The treasure seal is as red as blood, crystal clear, and looks very coquettish.

"Who is fellow Taoist? Why are you hiding your head and showing your tail?" The man shouted loudly. At the same time, his figure flew back, and the blood-red treasure seal radiated brightly, condensing into the shape of a giant tiger. He roared, and was seen The treasure seal bursts with blood, and the surging blood light crisscrosses like rivers, covering several miles in the blink of an eye.

Tangning was surrounded by criss-crossing blood and light, like a giant cage. The blood and light inside transformed into giant tigers and attacked him.

There was a constant banging sound as the giant tiger transformed into blood struck him, breaking into pieces like an egg hitting a stone.

However, under the constant entanglement of blood, thin blood-colored lines visible to the naked eye appeared on his body, spreading all over his body like meridians.

As more and more blood lines appeared, Tang Ning felt that her body became heavier and her spiritual power was flowing out uncontrollably.

These blood-colored fine lines are not only a kind of restriction, but can also absorb the spiritual energy in his body.

Seeing that blood lines were about to cover her body, Tang Ning snorted coldly, and many little bits of light surged out of her body, rising up and turning into huge stars and suns.

Ninety-nine stars and the sun rose, hanging high in the sky, and golden light shone down, wrapping the entire heaven and earth, turning everything within a radius of dozens of miles into a golden space.

The moment the magical power of the sun, moon and stars unfolded, the bloody lines all over his body disappeared like water vapor evaporating. When the sun and stars fell, the golden space slowly retracted, and the giant tigers that transformed into blood around him also fragmented and dissipated into the air. .

The blood light was gradually washed away. As the golden space became tighter and tighter, the treasure seal shook more and more fiercely. The giant tiger roared repeatedly, and the blood-colored barrier formed around its body gradually deformed.

The fair-faced middle-aged man stared at Tang Ning with gloomy eyes.

However, Tang Ning had already put on a black robe and hat at this moment, and it was impossible to see any expression on his body. The spiritual power in his body was running wildly, the sun and stars were falling rapidly, and the space had shrunk to Xu Linyuan.

At this moment, a dark surge like ink surged out of his body, instantly submerging his whole body. The golden space that had been rolled up in front of him, covered by this dark surge, disappeared, as if it had been swallowed up. .

When Tang Ning saw this scene, she was suddenly shocked. This dark surge was almost exactly the same as the spell Ding Jianyang had used.

Thoughts were flying in his mind. No wonder Ding Jianyang said that Xu Linyuan was a little special. It turned out to be this.

But what is the relationship between the two? Could it be that like Xiao Zhan, Xu Linyuan's dark aura is actually the clone of the black shadow in Ding Jianyang's body.

Of course, Xiao Zhan had also absorbed the exact same clone. If this is inferred, then the dark shadow hidden in Ding Jianyang's body is also similar to the consciousness of the soul body?

Before he had time to think about it, the surge of darkness in Xu Linyuan's body had spread, and darkness enveloped everything like a huge black cloth. Wherever he passed, even the space was submerged in endless darkness.

The golden space that was originally rolled up was overflowed by the dark tide and was immediately submerged. Even Tangning could not feel the connection with that place. The golden space was broken, and the stars and the golden sun in the sky turned into dots after violent vibrations. Light penetrated him.

Seeing the wave of darkness spreading closer and closer, Tang Ning pulled out the Golden Thunder Sword and used the Tianyan Sword Technique. As his sword moves unfolded, powerful sword energy gathered around him, until many afterimages merged into one, and the sword energy Integrated into one, soaring straight into the sky.

The huge sword light carried the jumping golden thunder and lightning and slashed towards the submerging darkness.

The sword light cut into the darkness, and the golden thunder and lightning jumped, washing away the surrounding darkness.

This dark surge seems to be extremely afraid of golden thunder and lightning, and the darkness melts quickly like the first snow under the sun.

The sword energy slashed straight down, and suddenly stopped a few feet away from Xu Linyuan, as if it encountered some resistance.

In Tang Ning's eyes, she could faintly see a palm stretched out, actually blocking the sword light.

His spiritual power surged into his eyes, and his eyes shone with divine light. In an instant, he could see clearly the origin of that palm, which came from Xu Linyuan's body.

At this moment, Xu Linyuan looked different in his eyes. He had turned into a half-human and half-ghost existence. The left side generally still looked like Xu Linyuan himself, but the right side looked like a ghost.

The appearance is indescribable, just like a ghost, and that hand is the ghost's right hand.

As the right hand slowly stretched out, darkness surged up again, and the sword light became weaker and weaker. When the ghost hand touched the sword light, the sword light was immediately submerged in darkness.

The golden thunder sword in Tang Ning's hand was shaking violently. Just when he was hesitating whether to call Xiao Zhan, a sudden change occurred, and the dark tide quickly receded.

Tang Ning took a closer look and saw that the ghost figure in Xu Linyuan's body was extremely twisted, as if he was struggling with something.

Behind him, huge darkness had enveloped him, seeming to be dragging the ghost figure away from Xu Linyuan's body.

And in the darkness, a black figure loomed. Even with Tang Ning's eyesight, she couldn't see the specific face of the black figure. She could only vaguely see an outline. It had a tall figure and long arms, as if it was hugging something. .

Xu Linyuan's face was distorted, and he was obviously in great pain. His mouth was wide open, and he didn't know if he was wailing or shouting, but he couldn't make a sound.

When the darkness gradually submerged him, the ghostly shadow in his body was separated from his body bit by bit, and finally merged into the black shadow. After the darkness was shed, Xu Linyuan seemed to have been drained of life, and he collapsed helplessly. Before he could escape from As he fell, a flash of sword light flashed through him, cutting him in half.

Tang Ning flashed her body and took the storage bag on his waist into her hands. She searched him again and found nothing else. When she looked up, the darkness had disappeared and she saw Ding Jianyang's escaping light coming towards him. He couldn't hide his excitement: "Show me."

Just as he was about to take over the storage bag, Tangning reached out to stop him: "Just tell me what it is, and I'll find it for you."

When Ding Jianyang heard this, he smiled slightly and retracted his hand naturally: "It is a dark red jade plate the size of two palms."

Tangning flipped her hands around and took out several stone boxes from her storage bag. She opened them one by one and saw that one of the simple stone boxes contained a dark red jade plate engraved with many complicated runes.

"Is it this?"

"Yes, that's it." Ding Jianyang's eyes shone, obviously this thing is extremely important to him.

Tangning put the jade plate back into the stone box and put it into her storage bag: "You said this is the key to the ancient ruins. Now that we have the key, when will we set off?"

"There's no rush, it's not time yet. I'll let you know when the time comes." Ding Jianyang was sensible and didn't object to him putting away the jade plate.

"Where are the ancient ruins? If it's too far, I need to prepare in advance."

"Don't worry, it's not far, it's in the Netherworld Sea. I'll contact you then. Don't die before that." A mysterious smile appeared on Ding Jianyang's lips: "It's not a good place to stay here for a long time, I'm leaving first."

After that, his body flashed and he turned into light and left the place. Seeing him go away, Tang Ning narrowed her eyes slightly and thought again in her mind.

The black shadow in Ding Jianyang's body should be an existence similar to Xiao Zhan, maybe a ray of spiritual thought or a divine soul body. From the black shadow swallowing the ghost in Xu Linyuan's body, it can be seen that the two are one.

Perhaps the ghost in Xu Linyuan's body is the clone of the black shadow. The difference from Xiao Zhan is that the black shadow can survive only by being attached to Ding Jianyang's body, while Xiao Zhan exists independently.

Judging from Xu Linyuan's performance, after the ghost that coexisted with him was absorbed by the black shadow in Ding Jianyang's body, he completely lost his combat effectiveness. It can be seen that the two have become one body, almost sharing the same body, so Black He was only so weak after the shadow left his body.

I wonder if Ding Jianyang, like Xu Linyuan, coexists with the black shadow.

There is another question here. Since the black shadow in Ding Jianyang's body is the nemesis of the ghost shadow in Xu Linyuan's body and can absorb it, why does he ask himself to help? Wouldn't it be better for him to enjoy the ancient ruins alone, why should he share a piece of the pie.

Judging from the situation just now, the ghost in Xu Linyuan's body is more powerful than himself. Since Ding Jianyang can deal with the ghost in his body, why not do it alone.

After thinking about it, there was only one possibility, and that was that he couldn't deal with Xu Linyuan.

After all, he was only in the middle stage of spiritual transformation, while Xu Linyuan was a real Void Refining monk.

He can only deal with it after the ghost shadow appears in Xu Linyuan's body. If the ghost shadow remains hidden in his body, he will not be able to absorb it.

That way, everything would make sense.

Ding Jianyang asked for his own help, with the purpose of forcing the ghost shadow out of Xu Linyuan's body and absorbing it.

It can be inferred from this that the dark shadow in Ding Jianyang's body is not as powerful as shown just now, but it just happened to restrain the ghost in Xu Linyuan's body.

If its strength exceeds Xu Linyuan's own, there is no need to ask him to take action.

Judging from the last robbery of a merchant ship, its true strength may be higher than Ding Jianyang, but it is definitely not enough to deal with the Void Refining cultivator.
