Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2883 Best of Luck

While the Möbius strip was comforting Jing Yuexin, the Big-Headed Boy looked at the three great witches.

"After the third axe blow, I'll take you away... Hmm, now that we've met, who else wants to come along?"

"Me!" Twin Wings and True Monarch Kan Shui answered in unison. The Ancestral Witch was about to run away, and they weren't crazy, so they decided to hitch a ride.

The head didn't intend to run away, but instead glanced at the white mist and said, "Don't keep staring at the Creation Compass... or don't blame me for being impolite!"

"I was just curious," Kan Shui explained sheepishly. "This treasure can enhance Xiao Qu's perception, how could I possibly do something reckless?"

Next comes the preparation for the third strike. Everyone needs to plan various strategies and arrangements to deal with possible variables.

None of the people present, including Tong Zu, doubted Qu Zhenzun's prediction.

The fact that divine consciousness could emanate from within the Dao Stele is already beyond everyone's comprehension.

A day later, with all preparations complete, Big-Headed Boy decisively unleashed his third axe blow!

An invisible arc of light appeared on the axe blade that opened the heavens, rushing towards the outside of the core area with an indomitable momentum!
The pressure on the Dao Stele internally is indeed not great, and the arc light fiercely slashes towards the dense grayness outside!

Hundreds of cracks instantly appeared on the phantom of the giant axe!
Fortunately, it didn't completely collapse, but it seems... it probably won't be able to unleash the fourth axe.

This was definitely not due to the giant axe's own control over the scale, but rather because the Child Ancestor accurately grasped the measure!

"Aren't you leaving yet?" The Twin-Winged True Monarch was getting impatient.

However, no one paid attention to it, including Big-Headed Boy, who was focused on the effect of this axe blow.

Only it was so anxious that its wings trembled slightly... What excitement was there to see? If it didn't leave now, it might really be too late!

With this axe strike, the sky, filled with grayness, collapsed, and a series of soft sounds rang out, finally revealing an opening.

The next moment, an inexplicable grief erupted and spread wildly throughout the entire realm!
Immediately afterwards, countless tiny stars emerged, faintly revealing a blood-red light.

The light also released a deep sorrow, but it was not just an endless feeling.

It's the kind of thing that seems to have existed since time immemorial, and will continue forever...

It is a lament that involves the principles of time and space, an eternal elegy between heaven and earth!

"The Great Dao Rains Blood!" The big-headed boy's lips twitched involuntarily. "It's over, we can't escape!"

"It's not too late to leave now!" the small archway declared. "But the heavens and earth will be raining blood, and there will be eternal slumber thereafter!"

It's quite surprising that she remained so calm amidst such a terrifying scene.

"What do you know!" Tong Zu's face darkened. He couldn't tolerate his knowledge being surpassed by a distracted individual.

Blood raining from the sky is a strange phenomenon that many cultivators have heard of, but the key question is, "Have you ever seen gray blood?"

The young woman remained silent; she truly couldn't answer that question.

She had witnessed countless discussions of Taoism by True Lords and had also heard that sometimes when blood rained down from the sky, it wasn't necessarily red.

Biological diversity exists; some organisms have blood that is blue, yellow, or even... colorless!

But what's strange at this moment is that the blood-red color that permeates the space, which everyone thinks is red, is actually grayish when you perceive it further!
The tragedy of Xuan Zhi Shang... truly worthy of being able to destroy Xuan Zun, even everyone's understanding has been distorted!

In other words, the colors perceived by cultivators are merely the feedback of wavelengths to an existing entity, while grayness is a higher form of manifestation.

"This is beyond my comprehension!" Seven Leaves True Monarch was the most straightforward of all. "Anyway, I was given a second chance at life, so I'll wait for Xiao Qu!"

The Dao Stele, which had already shrunk to over a billion kilometers, is now growing taller again!

It can be understood that it had originally planned to retreat to one side and shrink its defenses, but the situation changed again after the third axe strike!

This time, the Dao Stele did not surge; its growth was slow and steady, and at the same time, it was trembling slightly.

Just from its current state, you can tell that things seem... not so good!

The gray blood rain continued to increase its concentration wildly in the space!

In less than half a day, the top of the stele seemed to be completely covered by blood.

"Xiao Qu, what should we do?" Bo Ping Zhenjun couldn't help but ask, even though he knew the other party probably wouldn't have time to answer.

The Möbius strip is even more direct: "If you need a cultivator to be sacrificed, just say so, don't hesitate!"

Sacrificing cultivators is a major taboo in the cultivation world, but it is taboo because it can be effective in certain situations.

If something exists, it has a reason! In some extreme situations, sacrifice may be the only option!

As long as the cultivator is not coerced in any way and voluntarily accepts a choice similar to martyrdom, the practitioner is not considered an evil cultivator!

"No need," came a vague thought, much less clear than the previous two communications.

"Stop causing trouble, will you?" The head glared at the Möbius strip. "So you're not the one in danger of being destroyed?"

"I...I'm sorry," the old woman felt extremely wronged—was it wrong of me to want to sacrifice myself to save the world from collapse?
But she still had to apologize, saying, "I shouldn't have acted on my own. From now on, I will follow instructions."

In the context of a battle, it is inappropriate for one person to have the final say. A responsible attitude is to gather ideas from all sides and learn from the strengths of others.

But now it's truly an exception, because the situation on the battlefield has exceeded everyone's understanding!

Offering opinions without understanding anything distracts decision-makers... Don't you think you're wrong?

Qu Jianlei did not respond, which clearly indicated that he was in a special situation.

Half a day later, when the gray blood rain grew thicker and thicker and the space was almost liquefied, the Dao Stele stopped rising.

Next, the trembling of the stele became more and more violent, like a kettle lid being impacted by steam...

At a certain moment, suddenly, the space began to tremble slightly, and then became increasingly violent.

The concentration of the dark, blood-red color was rapidly increasing, making everyone feel as if they were in the depths of a frozen, blood-red ocean.

Fortunately, the Dao Stele had already activated its guarding state, so no matter how chaotic the outside was, the cultivators inside were not greatly affected.

This vibration is real and objectively real; it is not an illusion.

Although the Dao Stele was trying its best to suppress it, everyone could vaguely sense that it seemed to be... losing its strength?

This is not an illusion; many people have this feeling!

"Is this... the approach of eternal slumber?" True Monarch Qingxia frowned slightly: I've held out for so long, why haven't you come yet?
"Eternal sleep?" the young woman sighed softly. "I hope you never see it!"

"The Dao Stele... is about to break!" Suddenly someone exclaimed, it was none other than the rarely speaking True Lord Qiaoqi.

He was the only True Lord who was forcibly kept on site.

Although it no longer harbored its initial defiance, it was too embarrassed to speak up casually.

Until now, it has made an important discovery, and it's impossible not to talk about it.

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, everyone simultaneously released their senses.

At first, no one dared to get too close—those who had tried to perceive things up close before had all had embarrassing experiences.

However, even without getting very close, one can vaguely sense that the connection between the two Dao tablets is indeed... a little different!

The wings of the Twin-Winged True Lord trembled even more violently.

“We will no longer be able to guard the interior,” a distant sigh drifted indistinctly from the Dao stele.

The phantom of the giant axe in the air suddenly grew larger again—at this moment, it was within the area it was guarding and faced no pressure.

The dense cracks on the giant axe became even clearer!
"Stop right there!" Big-Headed Boy snorted coldly, raising his hand to grab at the phantom of the giant axe!
The giant axe was clearly reluctant and struggled a couple of times, causing the cracks to widen further.

Ultimately, however, it probably didn't want to be destroyed by "its own people," so it stopped struggling and then quickly shrank.

"He really does have a... short temper!" Big-Headed Boy looked at the gray stone axe in his hand and actually showed a look of appreciation.

"As expected of the ancestral artifact lineage, they are indeed brave and martial."

He hesitated for a moment, then casually cast a seal. With a thought, the stone axe floated to Luo Fu's side.

He said calmly, "If you want it to be shattered to pieces, you can deliver the final blow... It's up to you."

Luo Fu did not take the stone axe, but glanced at Jing Yuexin, and then said in a deep voice, "Is it still worth a fight?"

“It wants to fight, but the outcome is hard to say,” Big-Headed Boy replied carefully, “It fears neither self-destruction nor creation.”

The next moment, with a thought, he enveloped the five True Monarchs and vanished instantly, leaving only a divine consciousness behind, "Good luck!"

"Don't use it anymore," Jing Yuexin said calmly, "We can't unleash the full power of this ritual artifact!"

She was well aware of her boss's feelings for the Heroic Spirits, but the key point was that no one could unleash an attack with the power of the Child Ancestor.

Luo Fu had a sudden thought and handed the stone axe to the other party, saying, "You can take it first."

Tong Zu gave her the stone axe because she was "Qu Zhenzun's junior sister," but she was very clear about her own position.

"Put it away first," Jing Yuexin said calmly, waving her hand. Luo Fu did a great job, and she naturally wouldn't be lacking in manners either.

Ultimately, the decision on how to dispose of the ritual objects will be made by the eldest son, and no one present would dare to make any unfounded plans.

However, Tong Zu's departure at this moment added a touch of solemnity to the scene.

The human head spoke slowly, "Lightning... can it deal with Eternal Sleep?"

Others might be a little afraid, but she wasn't afraid—at least saving her life wouldn't be difficult!

“A Nascent Soul level cultivator probably isn’t enough,” the young woman replied casually, “to break through the spacetime barrier!”

“I control…the rules of time,” Xiao You hesitated for a moment, but then decisively said, “Please give your instructions, senior!”

"You should just give up," the young woman said, looking down on everyone equally. "But Xiao Qu can use the Dao Stele to unleash her time-manipulation powers."

The next moment, the Möbius strip decisively sent a divine sense to the Dao stele, "Young friend Qu, can you hear me?"
