Wu Shattered Star River

Jiang Han, who was sitting cross-legged under the Divine Tree, had no idea that a group of Celestial Realm experts had arrived outside, waiting with fierce eyes for the Divine Tree to disappear so they could kill him in one fell swoop.

His current state was very subtle, feeling as if his soul and body were separated, with his soul being sucked into that desolate valley.

He was completely unaware of his physical condition at the moment, perhaps because he was completely immersed in comprehending the laws of time, forgetting everything.

In fact, Jiang Han's body was undergoing strange changes!

The Divine Tree had been continuously releasing black mist, which constantly entered Jiang Han's body and then spread throughout his entire being.

Jiang Han's entire body was quietly changing. Strange black纹 (wén) patterns had appeared on his skin, like刺青 (cì qīng) tattoos, but the color was still very faint.

However, Jiang Han was completely unaware of these changes.

His mind was immersed in comprehending the laws of time, and it seemed that he was separated from his body. Perhaps if someone were to slash him with a knife, he might not even feel it.

Time passed quickly, and another day went by in the blink of an eye!

Jiang Han's physical changes were even greater. Black patterns had grown all over his skin, as if his entire body was covered in tattoos, and even faint black纹 (wén) patterns had begun to appear on his face.

If Jiang Han could perceive these changes, he would probably be scared to death.

Because not only had black紋 (wén) patterns appeared on the outside of his skin, but also tiny black紋 (wén) patterns had appeared on his muscles, bones, and internal organs.

It was as if a tree had grown inside his body, with countless roots intertwined within him, almost occupying every part of his body.

The only place where black紋 (wén) patterns had not yet appeared was in his soul's sea of consciousness.

However, as time passed, the black紋 (wén) patterns would continue to spread, and it was estimated that black紋 (wén) patterns would soon appear in his soul's sea of consciousness as well…

Indeed!

An hour later, the black mist began to seep into his soul's sea of consciousness. The black紋 (wén) patterns had occupied all parts of Jiang Han's body and began to sprint towards the final stronghold.

“Buzz~”

At the moment when the black mist entered his soul's sea of consciousness, the Heavenly Beast Cauldron suddenly emitted a burst of light. At the same time, the Heavenly Beast Cauldron vibrated violently, and waves of invisible vibrations began to shake Jiang Han's soul.

“Hmm?”

The desolate valley in Jiang Han's vision disappeared. At this moment, he felt his soul return to its place, returning to his soul's sea of consciousness.

He was a little dazed, not knowing what had happened or why the desolate valley had suddenly disappeared.

He was stunned for a while, then slowly opened his eyes. He observed his surroundings for a few moments and found that he was still under the Divine Tree, and the Divine Tree had not disappeared.

He didn't know how much time had passed. Martial artists had no concept of time when comprehending and cultivating. It might feel like they had only been in seclusion for a while, but several days had passed.

“Why is there black mist? Where did this black mist come from?”

Jiang Han noticed the faint black mist surrounding him. He frowned slightly, casually raised his hand, glanced at his hand out of the corner of his eye, and his body trembled.

He suddenly raised both hands, then forcefully rolled up his sleeves. When he saw that his arms were covered with black紋 (wén) patterns, he was frightened and his expression changed drastically.

Anyone who discovered that their body was covered with black紋 (wén) patterns would be frightened and at a loss.

“What's going on? What are these black紋 (wén) patterns? How did this ghostly thing grow inside my body?”

Jiang Han stood up with a thud. At this moment, he sensed that the Heavenly Beast Cauldron in his soul's sea of consciousness had begun to rotate again. He quickly closed his eyes and visualized his soul's sea of consciousness.

“Black mist! This black mist is the culprit!”

Jiang Han discovered that the Heavenly Beast Cauldron had absorbed the black mist that poured into his soul's sea of consciousness, confirming that the black mist released by the Divine Tree was the culprit.

“This Divine Tree is the culprit!”

Jiang Han's gaze suddenly swept towards the Divine Tree, and a storm surged in his heart.

If he didn't have the Heavenly Beast Cauldron, he would probably still be comprehending the laws of the Great Dao at this moment, and his soul's sea of consciousness might have been quietly filled with black紋 (wén) patterns.

What would happen once his soul's sea of consciousness was filled with black紋 (wén) patterns? Jiang Han didn't know, but it certainly wouldn't be a good thing.

“Does this Divine Tree want to control me silently? Turn me into its puppet?”

Jiang Han thought of a possibility, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He forced himself to calm down.

At least with the Heavenly Beast Cauldron, his soul would not be invaded by black紋 (wén) patterns. Although his body was now filled with countless black紋 (wén) patterns, he didn't feel that it had much impact on him? He could still control his body.

He sat down and began to visualize his body, wondering if he could find a way to remove these black紋 (wén) patterns.

If he hadn't visualized it, it wouldn't matter, but once he did, he was frightened and his whole body trembled.

He discovered that black紋 (wén) patterns had spread throughout his entire body. All his muscles, bones, blood vessels, and internal organs were covered with black紋 (wén) patterns. These black紋 (wén) patterns were like poison, filling his entire body.

He had become a monster!

Jiang Han's body trembled slightly. He quickly mobilized his Xuan Qi to see if he could force the black紋 (wén) patterns out like forcing out poison.

The result drove him crazy.

These black紋 (wén) patterns seemed to have merged with his body, becoming a part of him.

If he wanted to get rid of these black紋 (wén) patterns, he would have to cut off pieces of flesh and dissect his bones…

Jiang Han's soul began to tremble. Fear, apprehension, unease, and helplessness filled his heart.

Anyone who discovered that they had become neither human nor ghost would be like this, and they wouldn't even know what would happen in the future.

The unknown danger is the most frightening.

“Buzz~”

Jiang Han took out a bronze mirror and looked at his face. The look of horror on his face deepened.

How could he see people like this? How could he see Lan Lin, Jiang Lang, Qi Bing, Zuo Yiyi, and the others? How could he see Si Li?

Jiang Han was a little frantic. If he hadn't experienced so many things over the years, and his temperament was considered stable, he would have gone crazy long ago.

“Calm down, calm down, there's always a way!”

Jiang Han took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down.

At this moment, the black mist released by the Divine Tree gradually weakened, and the white light on the branches also began to weaken slightly.

Jiang Han was stunned. Was three days about to pass? Was this Divine Tree about to disappear?

“Prepare!”

Mi Xi and the others outside noticed the abnormality of the Divine Tree, and Mi Xi shouted in a deep voice. Dozens of Celestial Realm experts were highly vigilant, preparing to launch an attack as soon as the Divine Tree disappeared.

There were dozens of powerful experts watching covetously outside, but Jiang Han couldn't sense them inside.

He stood up, thinking of leaving first after the Divine Tree disappeared, and then finding a way to crack the black紋 (wén) patterns. What if the black紋 (wén) patterns disappeared automatically after an hour or two?

As time passed, the black mist released by the black tree became weaker and weaker, and the light on the branches also became weaker and weaker.

As the branches began to twitch and slowly shrink upwards, Jiang Han and the Celestial Realm experts outside sensed each other at the same time.

“Hmm?”

Jiang Han was immediately faced with a formidable enemy. The battle knife appeared in his hand for the first time, the Heavenly Scale Battle Armor appeared outside his body, and at the same time, he released the Thunder Domain.

“Chī chī~”

Countless arcs of lightning窜 (cuàn) shot out from his body, covering the space of a dozen zhang (丈) nearby.

Before, when the branches were intertwined, any of his attacks were ineffective, but now they could penetrate out.

The dozens of Celestial Realm experts outside were all near the Divine Tree, very close, and were immediately covered by the Thunder Domain.

However, the attack of the Thunder Domain was relatively weak and could not severely damage the Celestial Realm experts, but it made some people flustered.

“咻咻 (xiū xiū)~”

Countless branches shot upwards, and the Divine Tree became translucent at this moment. It was estimated that it would disappear soon, and Jiang Han's figure was exposed to everyone's sight.

Jiang Han's entire body was covered with black紋 (wén) patterns, but because he had released the Heavenly Scale Battle Armor, his entire body was covered, and only his eyes could be seen, so no one saw the black紋 (wén) patterns outside his body.

“Attack!”

Mi Xi嬌 (jiāo) shouted, and two blue lights in her eyes turned into two dragons, rushing towards Jiang Han like lightning.

Almost all the other Celestial Realm experts released powerful attacks at the same time. At that moment, it felt like the sky was about to collapse.
