Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2539 The rhythm is out of control
After arriving at Houde, Qu Jianlei heard many unbelievable things.

One of them is... someone actually used the corpse of a True Venerable as a puppet!
The only true Venerable's skeleton in Cangwu was left by Hu Zhongzi. Any cultivator who is allowed to approach and view it is an unparalleled opportunity.

It's similar in Houde; the corpses that leave the body are inaccessible to ordinary people, and many who leave the body simply transform into the Dao and become one with the heavens and earth.

This is still considered a departure from the body. When the spirit departs and the body and soul dissipate, it is the default destination for them to give back to the world. Almost no one has ever seen the remains of the Great Lord.

So, what kind of family... what kind of power could produce a skeleton as a puppet?

Qu Jianlei had only heard of this saying before, but he never expected that he would actually encounter it himself one day!
In any case, he could conclude without even thinking that those who used cultivators' corpses to make puppets could not be good people.

At this point, he had given up considering the other party's background.

Since the person who set the ambush used such a method, didn't they consider the possibility that he might spread it?

He might not necessarily die, but he probably won't be much better off, so saying another word at this moment would be a waste of time.

The next moment, he had a thought and connected with the Dao Stele, trying to activate it.

This transcendent being is extremely difficult to communicate with; the only time he took the initiative was during the Creation Compass incident.

There are quite a few passive triggers, but I won't go into detail; its dignity cannot be offended.

In recent years, Qu Jianlei has also tried to leverage the influence of his predecessors, but there has been virtually no response.

However, this was already quite good. When he first encountered the Dao Stele, let alone trying to communicate with it, it was difficult to even get close to it.

Later he was able to get closer, but he still couldn't use his divine sense to make contact.

The change occurred after he advanced to the Out-of-Body stage, especially after the Creation Compass incident, at least the Dao Stele could now accept divine sense contact.

However, expecting a response is still impossible.

Fortunately, its temper is not as irritable as it was with the broken knife. It just ignores people and doesn't react in any other way.

Of course, this is only his own feeling; others may not feel the same way.

However, Qu Jianlei vaguely felt that the fact that this person's attitude was acceptable now might be related to the feedback he received when he advanced to the Out-of-Body stage.

The broken sword and ritual implements have been mostly replaced, and the Dao Stele has remained largely unchanged, but that doesn't mean there has been no benefit.

But it doesn't matter. He doesn't expect it to work. Anyway, the aura of the Dao Stele itself can resist a lot of auras.

Qu Jianlei didn't even care about the effect of the stele.

The next moment, he drew his black longsword, and his body instantly grew to more than ten kilometers in size, with the longsword growing in size as well.

Immediately afterwards, he flicked his wrist and slashed at the only shadowy figure that should be alive.

He didn't use the Time skill because the other party was most likely setting an ambush for him, so how could he not have a way to deal with it?
Actually, if we don't compare it to the abnormal power of time, the broken sword itself is extremely powerful.

It has not appeared many times, and people suspect that it is the famous sword Mo Hong, which is included in the list of famous swords. How could its strength be weak?

However, just as he launched his attack, an extremely cold and powerful aura shot towards him with incredible speed!
But just as this chilling aura collided with the oppressive power of the Dao Stele, a shrill wail suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, the chilling aura abruptly stopped, revealing a distorted, bluish-purple human face.

The human face howled desperately as it fled back the way it came, running as fast as it had come.

However, its attack thoroughly provoked the Dao Stele, and in an instant, the Dao Stele's aura suddenly burst forth.

This aura instantly covered tens of millions of kilometers, and not only did the human face not escape, but even the three black shadows were enveloped within it.

The two shadowy figures, resembling puppets, trembled violently and began to twist.

At the same time, two beams of blue light emerged from the top of the puppet's head, accompanied by a mournful wail.

"This is... the divine sense of an avatar?" Qu Jianlei was slightly taken aback, but didn't think much of it.

His black longsword had just barely struck the shadowy figure when, in an instant, the figure vanished.

The next moment, more than 100,000 kilometers away, the dark figure reappeared, swaying slightly.

But how could a longsword be easily dealt with? The blade trembled slightly, a flash of black light appeared at the tip, and a black blade of light detached from the tip.

The blade's speed was incredibly fast; it veered off course and shot towards the spot where the dark figure had appeared.

To be honest, the divine weapon locks onto the opponent on its own, and its tracking ability is even slightly stronger than the sword intent that leaves the body.

However, Qu Jianlei was not satisfied. He slashed out with his black longsword again, and another black blade of light was slashed at that figure!

The figure flashed again, this time the distance was much shorter, only a little over 30,000 kilometers.

When the shadowy figure reappeared, its swaying was much more pronounced.

Qu Jianlei had a feeling that the shadowy figure was being suppressed by the aura of the Dao Stele, rather than being able to run further but choosing not to.

At the same time, the bluish-purple face, already suppressed by the aura of the Dao Stele, was struggling and wailing incessantly.

It all sounds like a long story, but in reality, it only took a few breaths.

What was once a perfectly good space has now been transformed into a cacophony of wailing and howling.

Since Qu Jianlei has already drawn the Dao Tablet, there is absolutely no way he will hold back.

He saw that the human face and the puppet were still struggling, so his divine sense connected with the giant axe again—a ritual weapon to slay evil spirits, which should be a good match for his business, right?
However, the ritual implement remained in the cave without any reaction, while the restless obsession emitted a consciousness.

The reason it is described as consciousness rather than divine sense is that consciousness never left the cave; it merely appeared above the ritual implement.

The irritable senior meant that the broken half of the stele outside was acting up, so the ritual implements could not be taken out.

In the past, the stele and the giant axe generally kept to themselves and could coexist peacefully even if they were not far apart.

Qu Jianlei didn't doubt who was stronger or weaker; he simply felt that the Dao Stele wouldn't make things difficult for the human race's ritual artifacts.

Who would have thought that the hot-tempered senior would tell him that if the Dao Stele went berserk, the Giant Axe wouldn't dare to get involved!
It's not that we dared not, but ritual objects are the most important ritual objects, while the Dao stele represents the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

For the giant axe, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is the very foundation of its existence; how could it possibly be offended so casually?

Qu Jianlei was able to grasp the logic, but he still couldn't help but connect it to the Dao Stele: Could a ritual artifact appear?

The Dao Stele remained unresponsive, merely suppressing a human face and two puppets, causing them to wail and scream, on the verge of collapse.

However, Qu Jianlei felt that the speed was still a bit slow, and he became a little curious: could this be considered a sacrifice?
So, with a thought, he took the ritual object out of the cave and held it in his hand.

The ritual implements would not resist his actions, since they were merely held in his hand and not being offered as a sacrifice.

Qu Jianlei wielded the giant axe and swung it twice, only to find that the Dao stele did not exhibit any repulsion.

But for the person on the other side, this scene was truly shocking.

A figure stood on a huge tree, with a long sword in his right hand and a giant axe in his left, and half of a magnificent stone tablet in front of him.

The key is that all three items can restrain him!

As a True Venerable Hunter, he had killed a number of True Venerables, though not many, but still more than a handful, and each one of them was a formidable figure.

This order was also quite tricky; the person in question had somehow mastered the power of time.

So what? He can outmaneuver the unsuspecting; he fears no true master!
Leaving aside the initial setup, the cost of traps is relatively high, but if you want high returns, you have to be willing to invest.

Later on, with a clone, two puppets, and the main body's soul-leaving attack technique, I don't believe anyone can withstand it.

But he never expected that the opponent's hand held far exceeded his expectations!
The force of the attack from the mountain-cutting formation was somewhat beyond his expectations, but fortunately, it did not affect the operation of the trap.

However, when the attack from the mountain is applied to the trap, its power is somewhat excessive.

As a result, when the other party was moved over, the subsequent measures he had prepared were slightly affected.

There was no other way; in order to ensure accurate and error-free teleportation, he had to bear the spillover portion of the attack power.

As a result, the three figures did not coordinate their attack immediately, and there was a slight mishap in the rhythm of their movements.

It's a bit of a shame that we didn't capitalize on the initiative in the surprise attack, but it wasn't a fatal mistake.

However, the countermeasures the other party came up with completely baffled him.

What happened to being only skilled in the power of time manipulation? Of these three methods, which one is inferior to the power of time manipulation?
He has no habit of complaining, and after embarking on this path, he understands the principle of accepting the consequences of one's actions.

But at this moment, he felt extremely wronged. What kind of intelligence capabilities were these?
He knew a little about the black longsword, but he never expected it to be this powerful.

But that half of the stone tablet, who knows what kind of extraordinary treasure it is, its power is at least comparable to a spiritual treasure...

He knew very well that complaining at this moment would not do any good, and he did not want to be controlled by such emotions.

The key problem is that the opponent has too many and too strong cards to play, and unfortunately, he lost the initiative.

In this situation, all he could do was carefully analyze the other party and try his best to remain calm...

Qu Jianlei noticed that the Dao Stele didn't react to his swinging of the giant axe, so he had a sudden thought and threw the giant axe away.

To emphasize, he merely threw the giant axe, not raised it.

This kind of action is generally considered very offensive to ritual objects, but Qu Jianlei believes that the other party probably won't mind.

Because true respect is felt in the heart, not just shown in form.

Sure enough, the enormous axe flew out with a whoosh, exceptionally smooth and supple, without the slightest resistance.

At the same time, Qu Jianlei sensed that wherever the ritual implements went, the aura of the Dao Stele seemed to disappear.

It is clear that the stele did not deliberately conceal anything.

But within its imposing range, the giant axe seemed to swim like a fish playing in water.

Fish are still fish, and water is still water; the former is free and unrestrained, while the latter is inclusive, yet they do not coexist.

Sensing this situation, Qu Jianlei understood and slightly activated his divine sense.

As expected, the giant axe moved, unleashing an astonishing aura, and slashed fiercely down at the bluish-purple face.
