Mortal Cultivator

The billowing smoke rose up like a black dragon, covering the sky and the sun. The pungent smell of gunpowder filled the air, suffocating people. The fierce flames of war were like burning red lotuses, blooming wantonly, illuminating the entire battlefield in red.

And on this tragic battlefield, there was a figure that stood out. He was Wang Lu, the peerless strong man who was full of vigor and prestige in the past, shocking all the worlds.

However, at this moment, he was in an unprecedented desperate situation. His originally handsome face was now covered by smoke and blood, leaving only a pair of deep and resolute eyes, revealing his unyielding and determination.

Wang Lu's clothes had long been torn, stained with the blood of the enemy and the blood oozing from his own wounds. He held tightly in his hand the magic weapon that had been with him for many years, but the sword had already appeared with countless cracks, as if it would break at any time.

The enemies around him kept coming like a tide, their faces were hideous, they roared, and they vowed to put Wang Lu to death.

The terrifying power burst out from the top strongman of the demon clan...

A dark light instantly penetrated Wang Lu's defense like a poisonous snake and hit his vitals. Wang Lu only felt a sharp pain, the spiritual power in his body was instantly disordered, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the whole person flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily to the ground.

Wang Lu's consciousness gradually blurred, but he had a strong obsession in his heart and couldn't fall down like this.

Barely holding up his body, he began to circulate his spiritual power to try to suppress the injury, but the power of the demon god was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, constantly eroding his meridians and internal organs.

He knew very well that this was not a good place to stay for a long time, and he might encounter a catastrophe if he was not careful. So, he gritted his teeth, endured the pain that seemed to tear his body apart, and took out a few precious energy crystals that emitted mysterious light from his arms.

His hands danced quickly like a phantom, and complex and mysterious runes appeared in the air, gradually interweaving into a huge array pattern. As the last rune fell, the entire array suddenly shone with dazzling light, and a powerful space fluctuation spread instantly.

At this moment, he jumped with all his strength and jumped into the temporary space teleportation array that had just taken shape. In the blink of an eye, his figure dissipated like smoke, completely disappearing in this extraterritorial battlefield full of blood and killing.

When Wang Lu's figure reappeared, he was already on an extremely remote extraterritorial planet. This mysterious and unfamiliar land seemed to be forgotten by time, deserted, and looking around, there were only endless rugged rocks and flying gravel filling the entire field of vision.

After struggling for a long time in this desolate place, Wang Lu finally found a seemingly inconspicuous cave in a very hidden valley. The entrance of this cave is narrow, and it is surrounded by vines and weeds. If you don't observe carefully, it is difficult to detect its existence. However, for Wang Lu, who is in urgent need of rest at this time, this is undoubtedly an excellent refuge.

Without any hesitation, Wang Lu quickly got into the cave. As soon as he entered the cave, a damp and cold breath hit him, but he didn't care. With his strong strength and keen perception, he quickly explored the cave. Not long after, he found a relatively dry and flat place deep in the cave and decided to set up camp here.

Then, Wang Lu took out several magic weapons from his arms, chanted in his mouth, and performed a series of mysterious spells. I saw that as the light flashed, layers of powerful defensive restrictions quickly covered the walls and entrances of the cave like spider webs. These restrictions can not only resist the invasion of foreign enemies, but also conceal the breath, ensuring that Wang Lu will not be disturbed by the outside world during his healing period.

After everything was arranged, Wang Lu slowly sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and began to mobilize the true energy in his body to repair the severely damaged meridians and internal organs. As the technique was running, strands of spiritual energy gradually gathered and flowed into his body like a trickle... In this way, Wang Lu embarked on this long and arduous journey of healing.

At first, he stared solemnly at the demon power in front of him that was constantly surging and exuding a terrifying aura. Then, he took a deep breath, mobilized the surging and extremely powerful spiritual power in his body, and rushed straight towards the demon power like a torrent!

However, something unexpected happened-the seemingly fragile demon power actually showed unimaginable toughness and tenacity! Every time his spiritual power collided with it, it was like a brave beast slamming into an indestructible, towering copper wall!

Not only that, the recoil force generated by this fierce confrontation was like a tidal wave, which made his already seriously injured body even worse. Blood flowed out of the wound, instantly dyeing the ground under his feet red...

Wang Lu deeply understood that blindly doing it like this was definitely not a good way to solve the problem. He had to find other ways. So he forced himself to calm down, slowly closed his eyes, and concentrated on carefully examining the injuries inside his body.

As his consciousness gradually penetrated into his body, he was surprised to find that the power of the demon god was like a cunning spider, weaving an extremely fine dark web in his meridians!

This net tightly bound his meridians, making the originally unimpeded flow of spiritual power extremely difficult. What's worse, the power of the demon god continued to entangle and fight with his own spiritual power. Every confrontation between the two would cause a sharp pain, as if countless knives were cutting his meridians wantonly.

In order to successfully resolve this powerful and mysterious force, Wang Lu, after careful consideration, finally made up his mind to start from the most subtle and intricate meridians. He held his breath and concentrated on mobilizing the spiritual power in his body, and carefully refined a strand of spiritual power to an extremely pure state.

This strand of extremely pure spiritual power, at this moment, was like an extremely delicate and sharp scalpel flashing a faint but dazzling light. Wang Lu controlled it, and in an extremely cautious and careful manner, slowly approached the dark net that enveloped him. Every bit of progress seemed to require a huge amount of energy and mind, and the slightest carelessness could lead to unpredictable consequences.

At the moment when the two touched, a sharp pain like being stabbed by a sharp needle suddenly came, as if countless fine needles were piercing into the bone marrow at the same time, which was unbearable. However, Wang Lu gritted his teeth, veins on his forehead bulged, and beads of sweat kept rolling down. He endured the piercing pain and dared not relax at all.

He slowly controlled his spiritual power and carefully penetrated towards the mysterious knot. This spiritual power was like a flexible little snake, winding forward, approaching the target little by little. However, every time it approached a little, the resistance it encountered became greater, as if it was trapped in a sticky swamp and had difficulty moving forward.

Despite the difficulties, Wang Lu still did not give up. He concentrated on controlling his spiritual power and dared not be distracted at all. Every bit of progress required him to make great efforts and consume a lot of energy. Time seemed to be particularly long at this moment. Everything around him was no longer important. All he could see was the stubborn knot in front of him.

In this way, time passed by like a white horse passing by, day after day, year after year. Wang Lu stayed alone in the dark and deep cave quietly, never taking a step out. As the years passed quietly, his hair gradually grew longer like wild grass growing wildly in spring, and even fell to his waist. The clothes he wore had long been worn out because they had not been changed or washed for a long time, and were covered with patches and traces of wear and tear. However, despite his embarrassed appearance, Wang Lu's eyes always flashed with an unwavering light, like the brightest star in the night sky, never extinguished.

During this long time of healing, Wang Lu did not let himself fall into a state of doing nothing. On the contrary, he made full use of this quiet time and constantly reflected on every bit of his experience in the battlefield of the outer domain. Those fierce battle scenes, the moments of life-and-death struggles with the demons, and the decision-making errors that eventually led to his serious injuries, etc., all played repeatedly in his mind like movie scenes. Through in-depth thinking and analysis, Wang Lu gradually realized that he was too arrogant in his previous actions. He overestimated his own strength and seriously underestimated the real strength of the demons. It was because of this blind self-confidence that he failed to make the most wise choice when facing the enemy, and finally ended up in such a miserable end. But as the saying goes, every failure makes you wiser. After this deep self-reflection, Wang Lu made up his mind to change himself and face various challenges that may be encountered in the future with a more humble and cautious attitude.

This made him understand that in this vast universe, there will always be more powerful forces, and he should not be proud of his temporary achievements.

Time flies, and a hundred years have passed in a hurry. After countless hardships and life-and-death tests, Wang Lu finally made a major breakthrough-successfully unlocked a small part of the power of the demon in the meridians! However, he knew very well that this was just the first insignificant step in a long journey.

At this moment, due to the long-term and continuous consumption of a large amount of spiritual power to break the power of the demon god, and the ruthless torture of various serious injuries, Wang Lu's originally strong body has become extremely weak. His face is as pale as paper, without any blood color; his body is so thin that it seems that a gust of wind can blow him to the ground; his eyes are full of bloodshot, revealing deep fatigue and pain. Every breath seems so laborious, as if a thousand-pound burden is pressing on his chest.

He had to stop healing and take out some precious spiritual herbs and medicines from the storage ring to refine pills to replenish spiritual power and nourish his body.

As soon as the pill entered his stomach, it turned into a boiling hot stream, spreading rapidly in Wang Lu's body like a surging torrent. The warm and powerful force seemed to have life, flowing freely along the meridians. Wherever it passed, the qi and blood that had been stagnant due to the injury were instantly activated and rejuvenated.

As the warm current gradually spread throughout his body, Wang Lu's pale face also had a little blood color, no longer as lifeless as before. However, he knew that it was far from the time to relax, so he concentrated again without hesitation and devoted himself to the subsequent healing process.

This time, Wang Lu decided to try an extremely ancient and mysterious purification technique. This technique is said to have originated from the hands of a powerful person in ancient times. Its effect is to gradually purify all kinds of evil and violent energy and transform them into pure spiritual power that can be used by oneself. Although this technique is extremely difficult to practice, it is undoubtedly a life-saving straw for Wang Lu, who is currently being eroded by the power of the demon god.

Wang Lu took a deep breath, adjusted his internal breath, and began to guide the demon god power in his body to slowly gather according to the mental formula described in the technique. Those dark and destructive demon god powers were unwilling to obey the command at first, but under the suppression of Wang Lu's firm will and superb cultivation, they finally flowed in the designated direction obediently.

When all the demon god powers gathered in one place, Wang Lu suddenly activated the purification technique, and for a moment, a layer of faint golden light appeared around his body. Under the shining of the golden light, the demonic powers began to tremble violently as if they had met their nemesis, and continued to emit wisps of black smoke.

As time went on, more and more demonic powers were successfully purified and transformed into strands of crystal clear spiritual power that merged into Wang Lu's Dantian. These new spiritual powers not only made up for the part he had lost due to his previous injury, but also improved his strength to a certain extent.

This process was like walking on a tightrope over a deep abyss, and every step was filled with a chilling breath of danger. If there was a slight negligence, the surging demonic power that was enough to destroy the world would be like a tiger out of a cage, fiercely counterattacking and swallowing people up instantly without a trace.

However, facing such a dangerous situation, Wang Lu was not afraid at all. His indomitable willpower is like a towering mountain, standing firm despite the raging storms; and his superb understanding is like the brightest star in the night sky, able to penetrate the fog and see the truth and mystery hidden in the depths of darkness.

It is precisely because of the indestructible and amazing energy formed by the cooperation and complementation between the two that Wang Lu can explore and move forward step by step with caution and determination. He is like an explorer struggling in a dark and deep cave, every step is full of unknowns and dangers, but he never gives up the pursuit of the truth.

As time goes by, Wang Lu gradually unveils the mysterious veil hidden behind the power of the demon god, which is like a thick fog. The secrets hidden under this veil are far beyond people's imagination. However, Wang Lu was not intimidated by the difficulties and obstacles in front of him. Instead, he continued to dig deeper with extraordinary courage and perseverance.

After countless attempts and failures, Wang Lu finally succeeded in grasping the most critical trick. This trick is like a key to open the door of treasure, allowing him to truly understand the essence of the power of the demon god and use it to perfection. So far, Wang Lu has stood at a new height and has a strong strength enough to change the entire world.

Time flies, and two hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, Wang Lu has been practicing with concentration, focusing on gradually refining and transforming the surging power of the demon god in his body. After countless arduous attempts and persistent efforts, he has finally achieved remarkable results-nearly half of the power of the demon god in his body has been successfully transformed!

With the gradual taming of the power of the demon god, Wang Lu's originally heavy injuries began to slowly improve. The once hideous wounds gradually healed, the broken bones reconnected and grew, and even the severely damaged meridians were slowly repairing, radiating new vitality and vigor. All this indicated that the day when Wang Lu would fully recover was not far away.

However, as the saying goes, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. Although his physical condition was improving, the long period of seclusion and healing had an unignorable impact on Wang Lu's state of mind. Facing the endless darkness and silence alone day after day, the loneliness that penetrated deep into his bones was like a shadow; and the loneliness accumulated over the long years without anyone to talk to and communicate with was like a tide, hitting the most vulnerable defense line in his heart wave after wave. In addition, the unknown and worry about the situation on the battlefield outside the domain also rose from the bottom of his heart from time to time, making him uneasy.

He knew that he could not be swayed by these emotions, so in the intervals between healing, he began to practice a method to stabilize his state of mind.

In the cave, he imagined the vastness of the universe and his own insignificance, integrating his thoughts into the movement of the stars, making his heart as deep and calm as the universe.

Under this state of mind, he was not only able to better control the progress of healing, but also had a deeper understanding of the way of heaven and earth.

In the fourth hundred years, only a small part of the power of the devil in Wang Lu's body remained near his spiritual sea.

This is the most critical and dangerous part. The spiritual sea is the core of his spiritual power. If there is a slight mistake, he may lose all his spiritual power and even his soul.

Wang Lu took a deep breath and mobilized the spiritual power of his whole body to gather around the spiritual sea, forming a spiritual power vortex. He slowly brought the vortex closer to the group of demon god power, trying to completely involve and purify it.

In this process, the spiritual sea kept trembling, and Wang Lu's consciousness was also strongly impacted.

He seemed to be in a dark abyss, and the roar of the demon god echoed in his ears. But he held on to his original intention and continued to increase the output of spiritual power.

Finally, after a thrilling contest, Wang Lu successfully purified the last trace of the demon god's power.

At this moment, Wang Lu's injuries had completely healed, but only he knew that after this life-and-death ordeal, he was no longer the ignorant young man he used to be. In those long five hundred years, every minute and every second was full of pain and suffering, but it was these unforgettable pains that made him who he is today.

During these five hundred years, he was alone in the deep and dark cave, silently recovering from his injuries, and he brushed shoulders with death countless times. But with amazing perseverance and indomitable spirit, he finally overcame his injuries and regained his life. And in this difficult healing process, his strength also achieved further breakthroughs and improvements like a phoenix nirvana. He was already gifted, and after going through countless life-and-death tests, his understanding of various martial arts secrets has reached an unprecedented level.

More importantly, the tempering during this period has brought about a drastic change in his state of mind. The impetuousness and impulse of the past gradually faded, replaced by a calm and calm.

In this world full of noise and vanity, all kinds of complicated things continue to emerge, disturbing people's minds. However, for him, these disturbances seem to be unable to shake his inner peace. Whether it is money, power, fame and fortune and many other temptations in front of him, he always maintains a calm attitude, like a deep pool of still water, unmoved.

When difficulties in life come one after another, he has never had the slightest panic. On the contrary, he can always calm himself down quickly, think deeply about the essence of the problem, and deal with every challenge with a calm and steady attitude. This temperament of calmness and composure in the face of danger seems to be deeply imprinted in the depths of his soul as if it was born.

It is this profound transformation in his state of mind that has gradually made him possess an extremely tough and strong heart. This heart is like an indestructible fortress, and no matter how turbulent the outside world is, it is difficult to shake it. There is no doubt that such a strong psychological quality has become a solid foundation for him to gallop across the vast world and be invincible in the future.

Finally, when he stepped out of the cave, looking up at the twinkling stars in the night sky, he couldn't help but feel a surge of ambition and passion in his heart. Those bright stars seemed to tell him endless mysteries and possibilities, inspiring him to pursue higher and farther goals and create his own glorious legend.

He decided to return to the battlefield outside the domain. This time, he will face the demon clan with a more mature and steady attitude to protect the peace and tranquility of the world.
