The mortal's candle dragon opens the sky

Continuing to go in the direction of Wenxin Pagoda, the further they went in, the more corpses and remains they found from the three parties. Xuyang and Meiyao picked them up along the way, and they gained more or less from them. The number of various immortal artifacts soon exceeded a hundred.

But the strange thing is that most of them are of eighth-grade and seventh-grade immortal artifacts, and there is not a single piece of floating wealth such as elixirs and immortal essence stones.

After such a long time, the ninth-grade immortal weapon could not be preserved even in the storage bracelet. It had long been dissipated and weathered. One could only vaguely distinguish its original appearance from the white ash in the shape of magic weapons in the storage bracelet.

Could it be that they were the first group of creatures to enter this place after the destruction of the Zhenyan Sect?

Or did the old monk Miro deliberately reveal the storage bracelet in his heart among the countless layers of real and illusory worlds as a gesture of goodwill or an investment?

But Xuyang remembered that when Han Lao Mo came here in the future, he definitely did not obtain these immortal artifacts, otherwise Han Lao Mo would not be so tight on money and would always have to sell the green liquid in exchange for cultivation resources.

Within Xuyang's search range of 30 billion miles, there are no humans or animals except for these corpses and places with extremely strong fluctuations in the power of laws. Because of the accumulation of evil spirits, not even a blade of grass grows.

Even though the remnant of the old monk Miro had deliberately revealed its presence before, Xuyang did not sense any breath of life on it, which meant that the other party was just some kind of alien between reality and illusion, but this remnant had already broken through the boundary between reality and illusion.

Now that Xuyang has witnessed the illusion power of the old monk Miro, he now seriously suspects that the world he and Meiyao live in is just one of the countless different worlds, or the original real world.

Or maybe there are many relics of Zhenyan Gate, which were cut into pieces by the old monk Miro in different dimensions, and each piece is a layer of the real world!
Because he could not sense Baohua's location, she should be in the Palace of the Five Elements of Wood as the old monk Miro said. But at this time, within the sensing range of the jade pendant, the power of the Palace of the Law of Wood was strong, but as stiff as dead wood, without any sense of vitality.

Moreover, once he and Mei Yao expanded the range of the storage bracelet and deviated from the route to the Pagoda of Inquiry, the road to the Liuhuo Palace of the Five Elements of Fire would be clear, and they would temporarily take the same route as the Pagoda of Inquiry.

The roads leading to the other four directions are covered with dense black arcs, and each arc is a space crack.

Don't forget that this relic is located in a space crack, which means it is not in the real immortal world. In other words, the relic has not appeared in the world and is still wandering outside the space of the Black Soil Immortal Realm.

Once you fall into a space crack, will you be teleported to the territory of wild beasts outside the Black Earth Fairyland?

Could it be possible that we accidentally entered a large city under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court outside the Black Earth Fairyland?

Gu Huojin regarded the True Word Sect of the old monk Miro as a serious threat, and never gave up the Great Five Elements Illusionary World Art. Even if the old monk Miro's remnant was still resisting, it would be impossible for Gu Huojin not to set up many immortal cities to encircle and monitor it.

The intention of the black arcs of light that appeared in these four directions was very clear. It must be the old monk Miro trying to persuade people to retreat.

Although Xuyang is confident that he can force his way in and take a look with his current attainments in the laws of space and the means of opening up yin and yang, they are guests after all, and going against the wishes of the host is not in the etiquette of a guest.

They could only keep moving forward. After another day, Xuyang and Meiyao had more than a hundred magic weapons in their hands, but the ruins along the way became increasingly dilapidated and sparse, with even broken walls rarely seen. The corpses also gradually became sparse until they disappeared completely, and all that was left was a desolate and dilapidated gray-white sand.

It was as if everything here had been plowed, the space was broken up and then reorganized, and everything that was original disappeared, wiped out by some supreme power.

Until Xuyang and Meiyao came to a suspended bridge spanning thousands of feet, the space no longer existed here.

The bridge deck is in a dilapidated state, paved with dull bluestone slabs. It extends to the other end. On both sides of the bridge head, there are more than a hundred statues of spirit beasts guarding the arch bridge arranged in a fan shape. Their arrangement is very consistent with some kind of formation. Among them are many species with true spirit blood, and the hexagonal dragon is prominently listed.

However, the eye sockets and limbs of these spirit beast statues had already turned gray, and there was no longer any fluctuation of vitality.

Above and below the bridge deck are space cracks like space cliffs, quieter than the boundless starry sky. There is no light at all, and it is bottomless black, so deep that even the abyss is not enough to describe it. There is nothing inside except bursts of intense space fluctuations.

Looking across from Xuyang, at the edge of the other side, sand and space itself were constantly being pulled into the darkness by the spatial vibrations. The disintegration was visibly seen with the naked eye, and the silver light that represented the existence of space was flashing and submerged until it became nothingness.

The gluttonous beast that seemed to want to devour everything was daunting and extremely depressing. It was even more terrifying than the void turbulence. The void turbulence had space storms, flying meteorites, and monsters living in it, but there was nothing in this space rift! Even the meaning of space no longer existed!

Moreover, the bottomless abyss has eaten away a lot of the bridge surface. The highest point of the arch bridge is even only connected to an area several feet wide. It is obvious that the complete collapse and breakage of the arch bridge will happen in the near future.

In addition to the main road opposite the arch bridge, there is a fork road that deviates from the main road. It is covered with flames of various colors and the original law of fire is swaying, leading to the direction of Liuhuo Palace.

The main road is made of white marble slabs and is a thousand feet wide. Every few steps there is a pair of statues of novice monks standing opposite each other, extending to the end of the sight.

“Hundreds of beasts welcome the gate, and thousands of immortals come to pay homage? This should have been a landmark building of great significance. What a pity.”

Xuyang did not rush to step onto the bridge, but stepped closer to the space cliff beside the arch bridge. A silver light flashed, and the true fire of the cave covered his palm. Xuyang stretched it out tentatively.

Mei Yao sat on Xuyang's shoulder, looking around with a little fear. Even though she could navigate the turbulence of the void and open up the maze of the underworld, she didn't dare to rush in rashly.

Because space is the foundation, and only with a foundation can a maze be built. If there is no foundation, then there will be nothingness, and without roots under your feet, won’t you fall immediately into the bottomless abyss?

Xuyang's palm touched the pure silent darkness, reality touched nothingness, and where the two intersected, there was immediately a heart-pounding strong spatial fluctuation. The Dongxu True Fire first hesitated, and then Xuyang frowned slightly and his mind moved, injecting the huge immortal power that had reached the peak of the Soul Forging Realm into it!

buzz~
With Xuyang's palm as the center, the edge of the real world began to expand slowly, like gnawing at the remains of a painting, and began to slowly devour the silent darkness, establishing reality.

"feasible!"

Xuyang's eyes flickered slightly, and he continued to mobilize his spiritual power.

Meiyao opened her eyes wide with amazement and watched the scene without blinking. Then she looked at Xuyang, as if to say, if I fall, you have to go down and save me.

After an incense stick of time, the spiritual power in Xuyang's body decreased a bit, about one percent. However, a protruding platform appeared on the cliff in front of him, which was large enough for him to take two steps forward. It was shaped like a cube, three meters long, wide and high. It was still bottomless darkness from top to bottom.

Xuyang's understanding of the meaning of Dongxu True Fire has become deeper since his retreat, and he has touched upon some of the ultimate mysteries of the void, which can lead him to the primordial chaos where all things have not yet taken shape. However, he is still far from the realm of detachment from the world and the realm of creating things in the void. In other words, Xuyang has not yet escaped the barriers of "I can still exist even if the world does not exist". However, if there is a little real world to rely on, he can barely maintain his status quo and protect himself, or even slowly expand outwards. However, the prerequisite is that the vitality of heaven and earth must exist.

If the world does not exist and the vitality of heaven and earth does not exist, he can only hold on for a little longer than ordinary creatures. Once the spiritual power in his body is exhausted, he will still not escape the fate of returning to nothingness.

"hiss"

Xuyang withdrew his palm as if sinking into water. Although he possessed the ability to open up to a certain extent without the help of formations and treasures, he did not feel complacent or happy in his heart.

Judging from the consumption of the spiritual energy in his body, even if he used it all up, he could only open up a world that was three meters thick and thirty meters long and wide.

But the old monk Miro was able to lift the entire ruins of the Zhenyan Sect in the space crack.

The gap between the two is so big that it cannot be described by using the words "ant" and "elephant". It is the difference between a small sand dune and the entire desert.

"Could this be the void realm that Gu Huojin and the old monk's original body created back then? After so many years, the great way of heaven and earth has not been repaired? Or is it the struggle between the remaining power of Gu Huojin and the remaining thoughts of the old monk that caused this place to be so corrupted?"

Xuyang's heart tightened, and he felt a sense of urgency. He looked for a while before calming down and turning around to walk onto the arch bridge. Although the array patterns on the bridge and the beast statues at both ends were already in tatters, as soon as Xuyang stepped onto the bridge, he felt his body sink. The bridge deck could no longer withstand the force of the forbidden air, and it creaked and cracked like glass everywhere.

This is because Xuyang's body was transformed from a thousand-mile dragon body, comparable to a mountain range of fine iron, which the rotten arch bridge could not bear.

"It is indeed a super sect that was once at the top of the fairy world. No matter who is at the central gate, they must come down and walk, and be polite and polite!"

Xuyang's eyes flickered for a moment, but he ignored him and continued walking forward. Meiyao opened her mouth in surprise and held Xuyang's sleeve a little tighter.

After walking to the top of the arch bridge, a teeth-grinding sound of collapse and cracking came from behind, followed by a loud bang like the collapse of the sky and the earth. The arch bridge completely turned into a broken bridge, and the countless stone slabs in the middle silently turned into ashes and merged into the darkness.

"It seems that the power of this old monk is limited. He can't even maintain the dignity of the mountain gate. Perhaps he is not the god who controls everything here."

The collapse behind him was following like a shadow. Xuyang walked down the arch bridge calmly and looked back at the way he had come which was blocked by the dark chasm.

"When we go back, if we fail to trigger the evil calamity and advance, we will have to rely on you." Mei Yao muttered softly and pulled Xuyang's Taoist bun.

"Well! Don't be afraid even if the sky falls, I'm here for you!"

Faced with a fork in the road, Xuyang stopped and thought for a moment. He did not choose to immediately go to the end of the main road where the Evil Abyss and the Palace of Truth were located. Instead, he ignited a layer of original true fire around his body to protect Meiyao. He turned around and stepped onto the fork in the small road.

As soon as he stepped into the path, he triggered the restriction. He heard a cry similar to that of a fire phoenix. The colorful flames that were originally an inch high on the fire path immediately grew and burst out wildly while shaking, and clusters of them rushed madly towards the rising sun.

The extremely high temperature made the road ahead distorted and blurred, and the Liuhuo Palace complex that was originally faintly visible was immediately blocked.

"Is it a touchstone? Or is it an opportunity given to me? Or is it the remnant of the old monk who is using me as a chess piece to test the person behind Liuhuo Palace? I remember that the owner of Liuhuo Palace, Qimozi, was the one who rebelled against the Heavenly Court and attracted the army of the immortal world. He was once the second true disciple of Zhenyan Sect! Now he is the Daluo of the Heavenly Court!"

"But this is an open conspiracy! Even if I don't want to learn the Duanshi Liuhuo Ji technique in the palace, I have to come! The original power of fire is close to the Daluo level!"

The space around Xuyang fluctuated and the primordial true fire rose up, roaring and rushing in all directions, and the spiritual realm of fire stood up!
Swallowing all the whistling clusters of liquid-like flames of various colors, without refusing any comers!
Although Xuyang possesses the seven laws, all of them are manifestations of the fire aspect of various laws. Except for the original true fire, all of them are the embodiment of fire of various laws. It can be said that the root of everything is still the origin of fire. The fire of various laws cannot be connected without the flame itself as the central connection point.

As the origin of fire becomes stronger, the upper limits of other laws will increase accordingly!

"Refining!"

Xuyang's face was like a cluster of glass crystals at this moment, and layers of flame patterns began to flash wildly all over his body. He felt that his cultivation, which had been stagnant for thousands of years in the Time Spirit Realm, began to surge again. In the crystal core space, the seven true fires began to jump wildly.

Among them, the True Fire of Origin was the most active, and the jumping flames were almost on the same level as the Fire of the End. The outlines of various golden Taoist patterns deep within it began to fill up rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Come on! Although the old monk is being mysterious and not saying it clearly, these origins are like drinking sweet wine to me, how could I let them go? Hahaha! Since the door is wide open to me, not prohibiting it is equivalent to tacitly allowing it to be done as it pleases, how can I be polite?"

Xuyang grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and continued to stride forward like a fire god descending to the earth. A cloud of black and gray dust rose from the fire path behind him. The stone slabs covered with spiritual patterns began to crack blackly. Xuyang directly sucked the ancient restrictions under the fire path into residue.

In the space where the old monk's remnant and the golden giant palm were, the flesh-mountain-like old ancestor Miro looked at the light curtain beside him with a slightly surprised expression.

"To attain enlightenment by devouring myriad flames? Well, this is a good opportunity to test Qimozi and see what he would say about the destruction of the restrictions he left behind! If you are not afraid, why should I, a monk, be afraid?"

The red light in the curtain of light was distorted and blurred, as if the sun had transformed into a golden crow and descended, quickly rolling over the fire path, leaving behind a pile of ashes.

A few hours later, in front of the thousand-foot-high Liuhuo Palace, Xuyang had transformed into a hundred-foot-high molten flame giant, and the glazed dragon scales flashed coldly under the raging flames.

Looking up, above the plaque with the three ancient Taoist characters "Liuhuo Palace" written on it, there was a twisted red flame that looked like solidified butter.

"The essence of the Great Way of Fire is within my reach. It can push my attainments in Fire to a higher level overnight. It's worth taking a little risk!"

Xuyang showed an inexplicable smile, looked around, and saw that the Origin Spirit Realm was growing rapidly again. He stretched out his giant hand and pressed it on the ball of red flame!
then
Push hard!
The entire palace shook in unison, with loud roars continuing!

The next moment, Xuyang opened his mouth wide, and flames of various colors rolled out. Xuyang turned around and pressed the ball of red flame in.

Om-!
The heaven and earth seemed to be chanting as they shook and trembled. Xuyang's red eyes flashed, and looking deep into his pupils, a flame of similar shape had already appeared, which seemed black, purple, white, and red, as if it would devour everything and draw everything into the flames until the end, until everything turned to ashes and returned to the void.

"Great! Xuyangzi, please advance quickly so that you can take me to the Jilin Sky Realm and eat to your heart's content."

Mei Yao on the side was wrapped in the dark mist, slowly floating around, clapping and cheering excitedly.

"Swallowed? You swallowed the origin seed left by Qimozi? That's not how you test someone! Then come and be my guest, I will protect you. If the Heavenly Court comes again, you and Jiuyuan can withdraw at any time. Wouldn't my Zhenyan Sect be completely destroyed?"

The old monk Miro, who was observing secretly, had a frozen expression and thought to himself that something was wrong.

In a remote area of ​​the Middle-earth Immortal Realm, in a blood-red cloud suspended in the sky, in the bloody atmosphere, the flying eaves and brackets can be seen here and there, and on a huge stone tablet standing tall, one can vaguely see the four bloody ancient seal characters "Red Refining Immortal Prison" engraved on it.

Just as Xuyang swallowed the solidified flame, a sound of bells rang out suddenly in a black hall in the Immortal Prison.

"Old man, are you finally unable to hold back? Or are you unable to hold on any longer?"

A tall figure who was originally lying on a large black iron table suddenly stood up and looked towards the direction of the Black Earth Fairyland.

This man looked like a savage, with countless dazzling red spiritual patterns all over his naked upper body, and the red hair on his head looked like a bunch of flames, almost exactly the same as the flame that Xuyang swallowed.

But the limbs were extremely strange, the hands and palms were like a palm-leaf fan, and they were abnormally wide, like the webbed feet of birds and beasts that had not yet fully transformed!

At this time, Xuyang had already entered the Liuhuo Palace. The space inside was extremely wide, tens of thousands of feet wide. Compared with the outline of the hall outside, the space ratio was at least a hundred to one.

There were actually traces of fighting, with seven or eight corpses as tall as hills lying in a mess. However, they were not from the Heavenly Court, nor from the disciples of the True Words in white robes. They were all gray immortal bodies that were full of evil spirits and looked like monsters.

Some have grayish skin and look like ordinary people, but within the one or two hundred acupoints on their bodies, there is still extremely strong evil energy surging, and as it contracts and shrinks, it seems as if the evil energy can breathe.

Some of them have huge black curved horns, and their bodies are bulging and solid like iron, which makes them look a bit like monsters in disguise.

As Xuyang's eyes swept over the corpses, they suddenly opened their eyes, staggered to their feet, and looked at Xuyang and Meiyao with eyes without any emotion. (End of this chapter)
