My magic weapons are all rule-based

Now he has ignored the invasion of the death aura and forcefully used his own strength... The death aura has begun to counterattack with double the force.

Chen Zu roared miserably, and his gray and dry skin peeled off inch by inch, revealing the white bones and internal organs under the skin.

The organs that were originally slightly bloody seemed to be carbonized at a very fast speed, stopped wriggling and became dry and hard and black.

The death aura became thicker and thicker, and a tornado that rushed straight into the sky with Chen Zu as the center.

The death aura was tangible but silent and powerless.

But even the stubborn stones that could exist for billions of years in the courtyard would decay into ashes under the cover of the death aura.

The terrifying death aura was approaching, and Chen Zu could no longer be observed, so Xu Shan had to retreat!

Just after retreating two feet, Chen Zu's loud laughter suddenly penetrated from the thick death aura.

Xu Shan's heart suddenly shook, and his eyes were fixed on the center of the death aura.

It sounded like he was going to succeed, but he was in a very complicated mood at the moment.

He hoped to witness the birth of a great warrior, but how Chen Zu would treat him after his breakthrough was another matter.

Although he had just opened his heart to him, he did not dare to trust him wholeheartedly.

Once Chen Zu broke through, his life and death would be unpredictable.

However, no matter how entangled he was... he would not interfere.

As Chen Zu laughed, the death energy around him began to dim.

The tornado formed by the death energy began to shrink.

Chen Zu's figure reappeared in front of Xu Shan again, but the pain on his face had disappeared.

The body that was already riddled with holes stopped decaying and breaking.

Xu Shan's pupils trembled.

Seeing the death energy gradually disappear completely, the broken body once again showed blood color.

The body was reshaped and the blood grew!

Even the surrounding land began to be reborn, and countless tender grasses broke out of the ground.

Xu Shan's heartbeat did not stop, and this invisible force was also affecting him... His blood was boiling, and his power was also stirring!

Chen Zu closed his eyes and felt the experience of the rebirth of the body.

Suddenly, Xu Shan took two steps back, his face showing horror.

Chen Zu's spiritual consciousness swept over him without any concealment, and expanded rapidly to the surroundings.

This spiritual consciousness was unprecedentedly strong, almost condensed into substance, as if countless hands were caressing his whole body inside and outside.

At the same time, Chen Zu suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Xu Shan.

The two looked at each other, and both felt something in their hearts.

Xu Shan's lips moved, and his face turned pale.

It is a good thing that the body is repaired and the spirit is soaring, but this degree of surge, coupled with Chen Zu's long-term weak state, will undoubtedly cause a huge problem.

A problem that all cultivators cannot avoid.

Mental rampage... inner demon!

Obviously Chen Zu realized this obvious problem earlier than him.

At the moment of heartbeat disorder, the death aura sprouted again, and the air suddenly became gray!

The body that was already in the process of repairing stopped in an instant and returned to the state of decay.

Chen Zu stepped on the ground with his right foot and roared again!

The dead energy subsided, and the body began to recover again.

After that, under Xu Shan's shocked eyes, Chen Zu's expression was sometimes distorted, sometimes relaxed, and his body kept jumping back and forth between repair and damage.

But overall, the situation was still good.

Although the state was constantly cycling between life and death, the speed of repair exceeded the speed of damage.

This showed that Chen Zu had not lost control of his mind.

But the situation was not optimistic. Xu Shan could clearly feel that with the rebirth of Chen Zu's body, his spiritual improvement continued.

Now that he had not lost control and entered the inner demon, it did not mean that he would not enter the inner demon in the next moment.

As long as this growth did not stop, the crisis would not be reduced.

Time passed, and the time of an incense stick passed, and the tug of war continued.

At this moment!

Xu Shan suddenly raised his head and looked up.

Another shadow appeared above Chen Zu's head, his face was a little blurry, but his body was clearly making the action of holding a sword and slashing down.

"Junior brother..." The shadow spoke, and the voice was clearly audible.

Chen Zu looked up, his pupils dilated: "The inner demon is manifesting!?"

The shadow slashed down with a sword, hitting Chen Zu's forehead!

The half-empty sword blade cut through Chen Zu's body from head to tail.

Instantly!

All the strange phenomena on the top of the Illusionary God Peak disappeared.

Xu Shan sat on the ground, stunned.

Chen Zu...died.

Failed after all.

It was just a thought, and it was gone.

No fanfare, no signs, no traces, it was completely wiped out from heaven and earth.

It turns out that when the soul is strong to a certain extent, the inner demon can manifest in reality...He was still reminding himself before he died.

Xu Shan's face was sad, one was that he felt Chen Zu's guidance, and the other was that he was shocked by this extreme way of death.

It took a long time to prop himself up from the ground, and reluctantly sat on the stone bench beside him to continue to be dazed.

Sat there for a long time, until the sky was dark and the stars were shining.

Qin Chengwen's footsteps sounded in the courtyard.

He stood behind Xu Shan and whispered, "Where is the ancestor?"

"The breakthrough failed." Xu Shan's voice was hoarse, "Nothing was left, and it didn't alarm the people below."

"I have already given instructions below, everything is stable."

After saying this, Qin Chengwen stopped talking and looked at the open space silently.

After a long time, Qin Chengwen walked up to Xu Shan and whispered, "The ancestor has already guessed the situation today and told me in advance."

"The ancestor has no self-interest and has nothing left for you. The Emperor's Mother Spirit Son Gu is the only treasure he left behind. He said that maybe you can use it."

A wooden box was placed next to Xu Shan.

Qin Chengwen continued: "My ancestor has been talking to me in detail for a long time. It no longer matters who you were or what you did before. He designated you as the successor leader of Huanhai Sect. I have nothing to say. If you are willing to go In front of the stage, I will step down..."

"No need, continue to be your acting leader, and you can do whatever you want. No one can touch the Huanhai Sect as long as I am here. If you have any trouble, just come to me."

Xu Shan looked at the wooden box on the table with dark eyes, then took out a jade slip and handed it to the back.

"This is the technique taught to me by Master. You can pass it on to whomever you want. I won't interfere."

"I see..."

Qin Chengwen's mood was hard to express, and the other party's magnanimity made him feel a little at a loss for a moment.

Xu Shan leaned over and picked up Chen Zu's old clothes from the ground and handed them to Qin Chengwen.

"Let's build a grave for him here and help me find some old things. I'll help him build another one in Lijiacun. That's it. We'll talk about other things tomorrow."

.....

The next day, in the same place, the sun was shining brightly.

Three pillars of incense were lit in front of the tomb with the tombstone of Chen Zu.

Xu Shan and Qin Chengwen stood side by side to mourn.

After mourning in his heart, Qin Chengwen looked up at Xu Shan and asked softly: "My ancestors and I don't know you very well. What kind of place is Lijia Village?"

Xu Shan said: "I came here just to see Master, but he has left now."

"If there is nothing major in the teaching, you can come with me and see for yourself."
