I use my supernatural powers to prove my immortality

Chapter 236 Blooming, fleeting

The dense sound of war drums continued to sound, and in the hearts of many gods, it sounded like muffled thunder.

Countless gods completely lost their minds because of this, coupled with the terrifying punishment of divine prohibitions, eventually these gods who failed to guard their own hearts all became confused.

In empathy with the Mountain Goddess, Zhong Lixiao also underwent a tremendous test.

However, the existence of the Mountain Goddess was different from those of many other gods after all, especially after she realized that her own essence was supernatural power rather than a simple god. Although the wounds of the divine ban and the sounds of war drums still had a huge impact on her, they could not completely take away her soul.

On this basis, the two of them even began to devote part of their attention to a more in-depth and detailed study of the divine ban!

Especially after Zhong Lixiao began to use his spiritual consciousness to outline and assimilate the divine prohibitions, the progress in this area has been particularly gratifying.

of course.

In order not to attract the attention of the being behind the scenes, the two of them still acted very confused, almost no different from other gods.

As the divine chain of order in the sky locked those secretly arranged stoves one by one and exposed them all, the major forces between heaven and earth took action one after another.

However, this level of power is ultimately too advanced, especially at the critical moment when this lonely and strange old man was attaining enlightenment. The rhythm of Tao permeated the heaven and earth, and many times it was completely impossible to measure it according to their common sense.

Take Zhong Lixiao for example, all he saw was gray chaos.

It was as if the sun had disappeared, replaced by the faint light of a fire in the stove. It seemed as if the firewood inside was about to go out, and the fire was clearly showing signs of being about to go out.

Even so, one can still see some magnificent sights in the sky from time to time.

Sometimes it is a skeleton with flames in its eyes, and ghostly cries come out of its mouth from time to time.

The flaming skeletons sometimes gathered together and sometimes dispersed, and countless hidden stoves exploded wherever they passed.

After the skeleton, a flag can be seen, fluttering in the wind, and the void disappears.

Especially the light from the stove, which was already very dim, seemed to be eaten away by the heavenly dog, leaving bite marks one after another.

Occasionally, a large drum can be seen appearing, and when it is struck, the sound waves dissipate the void.

The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise appeared, white clouds were shrouded in mist, and clusters of sword lights were like rain, fog, and thunder, causing endless strange phenomena.

Even Zhong Lixiao couldn't understand the strange phenomenon in the sky at all, but he was sure of one thing.

The world's top masters have all taken action, both for good and evil, as they do not want a person like the lonely and weird old man to appear in the world.

Seeing this, even though Zhong Lixiao was unwilling to see a person who had attained enlightenment so early, he still couldn't help feeling a little sad in his heart.

At least from now on, this lonely and strange old man who uses the Kitchen God to prove the true meaning of the guardian fire is definitely a true idealist.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just take Baiyun Temple’s desire to prove the true meaning of the mountain. The starting points of the two are not in the same dimension.

What Baiyun Temple wants to prove is the highest mountain in the world, and the result of the proof is the number one holy land of immortals in the world.

Once successful, the person standing on the top of Floating Cloud Mountain will become an immortal who lives forever.

Zhong Lixiao is a member of Baiyun Temple. He will not betray his sect or his class, but one has to admit that in comparison with the lonely and weird old man, all the intentions of Baiyun Temple are essentially private schemes.

but.

An ambition like that of the lonely and strange old man to "protect all the poor people in the world and make them happy" is doomed to fail!

To reduce the surplus and make up for the deficiency, this is the way of Heaven.

To take from those who are deficient and give to those who are in excess is the way of man.

Skeletons, banners, swords, war drums, the Four Symbols of the Sky, and even the faint sight of very small poisonous insects flapping their wings and flying high, the entire sky was in chaos.

Strange phenomena between heaven and earth are occurring one after another!

Sometimes the fire was so bright that it seemed like the scorching sun in the sky.

Sometimes, there are endless stars shining brightly, just like thousands of star swords falling from the sky.

Sometimes, there are endless poisonous insects in the sky, covering the sky and the sun, as if they want to devour all life in the world.

Sometimes, countless corpses of poisonous insects fell from the sky and were burned to death in an instant.
Collapse, separation, chaos, impermanence.

At the moment when this lonely and strange old man was preaching the truth, all the laws of heaven and earth seemed to have become completely chaotic.

In the beginning, only the giants between heaven and earth felt it most deeply, but later on, even weaklings like Zhong Lixiao, who had been baptized by the Great Dao, could more or less feel some indescribable chaotic rhyme of the Dao.

Is this the world that the powerful giants see?
Zhong Lixiao was greatly surprised.

In addition to being curious, he tried his best to stare at what he could see.

Especially those divine chains of order that stretched between heaven and earth and firmly sealed the stove were deeply imprinted in Zhong Lixiao's heart.

If it weren't for these divine chains of order, it might not be as difficult for the lonely and strange old man to prove his truth as it is now, and he would not be besieged and beaten by those giants between heaven and earth!

It seems that the lonely and strange old man's attempt to prove his truth this time is destined to end in failure!

Zhong Lixiao breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt a little regretful.

The former is out of selfishness, after all, he is still too weak now.

It will take more time to reach a higher level.

If someone were to attain enlightenment at this time, it would usher in an era of competition to attain enlightenment, which would undoubtedly be extremely disadvantageous to him.

The reason why we feel sorry for this is that the failure of an idealist like this lonely and strange old man to prove his faith is bound to be a huge loss for hundreds of millions of ordinary people in the world.

After the lonely and eccentric old man, there may never again be such an idealist in the world who is willing to use his own fire to protect and bring joy to the poor people in the world.

Time is like sand between your fingers. No matter how tightly you hold it, it will eventually slip through your fingers.

After everything in the world fell into chaos, no one knew how much time had passed.

All people knew was that, following the endless divine chain of order, rain began to fall silently between heaven and earth at some point.

It seemed like ordinary rain, but for the fire between heaven and earth that was no longer bright, it was a new blow.

The fire in the stove grew dimmer and was about to go out completely.

But occasionally one could see flames reigniting and erupting, and even the bodies and treasures of giants were instantly burned to ashes.

I don't know how much time passed, but with a crisp sound, a crack appeared on the ancient stove that once spanned the sky and the earth.

The voice was very soft, but it seemed to come from the heart of every living being.

It is a very light and small sound, but it can resound through the heart.

Anyone could clearly see that with this crisp sound, the lonely and strange old man's journey to attain enlightenment might be coming to an end.

All because, since it is the truth, it must be perfect!

An unknown amount of time passed before an extremely majestic voice suddenly sounded in the mind of the Mountain Goddess.

"Go to Wuyin Mountain and destroy the burning furnace in the mountain."

This voice is like a divine decree, and all gods who hear this voice, if they even have the thought of disobeying it, will have their divine punishment doubled.

then.

The gods scattered across the world were forced to rush towards Wuyin Mountain like zombies.

As we get closer to Wuyin Mountain, we can see more and more divine lights from the gods.

Because of the different duties they hold, the many gods have different ways of escaping, but it can still be seen that they are all extremely embarrassed.

The vast majority of gods have become confused and muddled due to the punishment of divine prohibitions, like the walking dead, but the few gods who can still remain conscious have endless anger in their eyes.

Those who can reach their level must have studied Shinto for countless years. In their own territory, they are definitely the overlords.

But today, they are like dogs, being driven around the world by the sound of a war drum.

What a shame!
One of them was a divine general wearing golden armor and the other was a great god wearing a royal robe, which inevitably attracted Zhong Lixiao's attention.

One of them is a scholar and the other is a warrior, just like two emperors.

Although there were many gods all over the mountain, they could hardly see any gods within a hundred feet radius.

In addition, a woman with bright eyes and white teeth also caught Zhong Lixiao's attention.

The moment he saw this woman, Zhong Lixiao's pupils shrank and he could hardly believe it.

All this was because he knew this girl, because she was exactly the fourth senior sister Qin Jue that Zhong Lixiao had seen on the top of the floating cloud.

Zhong Lixiao was surprised.

Fourth Senior Sister Qin Jue is a god?
Because of the Mountain Goddess, Zhong Lixiao was confident that he had a much stronger ability to identify gods than ordinary people.

Zhong Lixiao was very sure that when he met the fourth senior sister at Floating Cloud Summit, he definitely did not sense any of the unique Shinto scent from her.

but.

Now the fourth sister was driven here by the drums of war.
Could it be that this was due to her magical powers?

Zhong Lixiao subconsciously thought of the Mountain Goddess, whose essence was also supernatural power.

But at this moment, Zhong Lixiao discovered that the fourth senior sister was also looking at him.

Their eyes met briefly, and they both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

However, compared to Zhong Lixiao, the fourth sister Qin Jue's eyes were more profound. Just like an endless pool of water, it was bottomless and no one could tell her true thoughts.

The two glanced at each other and then separated immediately, and then continued to blend in with the many gods on their way, performing mediocrely.

After arriving at Wuyin Mountain, everyone discovered that this was indeed a hill that could not be more ordinary.

The spiritual vein was of poor quality, the mountain was steep but not dangerous, it was not suitable for farming, and it did not have the dangers of mountains and rivers, so it seemed mediocre.

but.

As they continued to get closer to the mountain, especially after the stove hidden in the mountains was discovered, everyone began to feel the unprecedented hot light of the fire.

This is a dangerous fire so powerful that just approaching it will make you feel terrified.

Many gods who were driven here even instinctively wanted to resist.

But more gods were unable to control themselves and instinctively began to attack the stove with their own divine duties.

The land priests control the earth veins;

The water gods of rivers, lakes, etc. control the water veins;
There are even some gods of wealth and guardian gods who use their own Shinto magic to attack the stoves in the mountains.
In just a short period of time, countless Shinto lights from Wuyin Mountain continued to shine towards the stove sealed by the Divine Chain of Order.

but.

The stove just trembled, splashing out a few insignificant sparks, and the next moment, entire groups of gods were directly swallowed up by the sparks.

Ahhhhhh~~~
Accompanied by screams, countless confused gods were instantly turned into ashes by the small sparks and disappeared between heaven and earth.

In just a moment, all the gods here were shocked, even horrified.

Even many gods who were originally confused began to regain some clarity because of their extremely strong will to survive.

He even instinctively retreated, trying to avoid the dangerous stove.

Even Zhong Lixiao was shocked!
Just a few small sparks, but they killed a large number of gods. What kind of terrifying power is this?

Not only Zhong Lixiao, he even saw unprecedented solemnity in the calm eyes of Fourth Senior Sister.

Even the eyes of the two gods, one civil and one military, who were particularly conspicuous and looked like two emperors, showed unprecedented solemnity and fear.

It was not until this time that they knew what the power of proof was.

Even though the lonely and weird old man was very close to failure in his mission to prove his truth and had not taken that crucial step, a small spark that flew out from his stove was still enough to scare them.

When thinking about those giants who took the initiative to rush to the sky to stop the lonely and strange old man from attaining enlightenment, it is really hard to imagine how high they have reached!

The gods hesitated and even wanted to retreat, but in their ears rang the sound of war drums as dense as a storm.

The god, who had just regained some clarity of mind due to the life-and-death crisis, was filled with endless hostility and a desire to fight in the blink of an eye.

Afterwards, a scene appeared in Wuyin Mountain that people in the world might not be able to imagine under normal circumstances.

These gods, who are usually high and mighty and receive incense and offerings from countless people, are now like densely packed ants, lining up to attack Wuyin Mountain again.

To be exact, it means suicide!

Even if they tried every possible means, it would be difficult for them to pose a real threat to the stove on Wuyin Mountain. However, they were forced to line up and rush towards Wuyin Mountain in a suicide-style manner.

No one knows how many gods have died, and later on this place became lifeless.

In order to protect the Mountain Goddess, even Zhong Lixiao was forced to secretly sacrifice the Seal of Mountains and Rivers and cast a large talisman on the ground.

He briefly used his control over his own domain to block out the sound of the war drums that sounded like a death warrant.

And it is obvious that the sound of this war drum is far more advanced than Zhong Lixiao's mountain and river domain.

Even within his territory, the Mountain Goddess could still hear the dense sound of war drums.

but.

With this land of mountains and rivers, the Goddess of the Mountain is ultimately much more powerful than other gods in resisting the life-threatening sound of war drums.

The mountain goddess said in horror, "My lord, I feel that the power of the gods between heaven and earth is declining rapidly."

Zhong Lixiao was stunned for a moment, then he seemed to understand something.

He finally understood that although these low-level gods posed no threat to the lonely fisherman who was about to achieve enlightenment, the dark hand behind the scenes who beat the drums of war and drove the gods away was persistently driving these gods to their deaths.

It turns out that the root of everything is to kill these gods through the hands of the lonely and cold fisherman, so as to weaken the power of Shinto, and thus fundamentally weaken the power of the lonely and cold fisherman.

What a vicious heart!
In order to achieve the goal, they will do whatever it takes!
Click!

Along with another slight crisp sound, a huge gap appeared again on the stove that was almost solid as a rock between heaven and earth.

Obviously, when a small god like the Mountain Goddess can feel that the power of Shinto between heaven and earth is declining rapidly, then for a high-ranking being like the Lonely Diaosou, the degree of weakening of the power of Shinto may be enough to strand him!

The collapse of the stove again is a perfect proof of this point.

But it was not just the stove that stretched between heaven and earth that collapsed.
On top of Wuyin Mountain, the stove that seemed indestructible not long ago, suddenly broke into pieces with a crackling sound, like broken porcelain, with numerous cracks appearing on it.

And along with the cracks gushing out, there was endless flames!

In just a moment, the flames burst out and spread out in all directions.

It was like a flood bursting through a dam, instantly engulfing a large number of gods from all directions.

Many of these gods didn't even have time to utter a scream before they were swallowed up by the flames and disappeared.

And Zhong Lixiao felt an unprecedented sense of crisis!

At this moment, Zhong Lixiao no longer cared about hiding anything.

He immediately resolved his empathy with the Mountain Goddess, took the initiative to activate Hou Tu's true body, and his life-saving magic weapon, the Mountain and River Seal, was suspended directly in front of him, beginning to connect with the earth veins of the entire Wuyin Mountain, and use it to defend against this sudden natural disaster!

But the moment he came into contact with the fire, Zhong Lixiao felt unprecedented terror.

The realm of mountains and rivers that he constructed with the Great Seal of Mountains and Rivers seemed like melting ice and snow, and it seemed like it would collapse at any time.

The magical power "Law of Power" is fully activated!
The magical power "behind the scenes" is fully activated!
The magical power "One Acre and Three Fen Land" is fully activated!
The magical power "Gluttonous Stomach" is fully activated.
Even so, Zhong Lixiao's realm of mountains and rivers was instantly swallowed up by the boundless flames.

In just a moment, Zhong Lixiao felt that everything between heaven and earth had disappeared, leaving only the most blazing red.

However, the mountains and rivers that he had been blessed with with magical powers such as "One Acre and Three Fen Land" and "Front and Backstage" still became precarious because of this.

It seems like it may be destroyed at any time!
This was destined to be an unprecedented crisis. Zhong Lixiao, who was only trying to protect himself, did not even have any extra thoughts in his mind.

But even so, it still seemed extremely difficult under the firelight.

Roar!
At this critical moment of life and death, the Taotie created by the magical power "Taotie's Stomach" let out roars and began to frantically devour the flames that were covering Zhong Lixiao.

It is a glutton, a glutton that swallows everything.

Even if it is the light of the hearth fire of this preacher, it will devour it.

But in the blink of an eye, the flesh and blood on Taotie's body was melted away by the flames, leaving only a skeleton, as if it would be annihilated at any time.

Even so, Taotie, who only had part of his will left, was still madly devouring everything.

Flames, lava, sparks, any power that could break through the realm of mountains and rivers, eventually became food for the gluttons.

Even so, Zhong Lixiao's true body of Hou Tu still underwent unprecedented tests.

Later, Zhong Lixiao even felt as if he had fallen into Laozi's Bagua Furnace and could be reduced to ashes at any time.

Even his real body began to be burned into pieces and became a horrible sight.

but.

Zhong Lixiao finally managed to survive the burst of flames!
Even because of the gluttonous devouring, the body gradually gained unimaginable benefits from digesting the firelight.

As time passed, Zhong Lixiao's tattered body gradually stabilized.

Even the roaring Taotie began to become active and excited again.

As a glutton that devours everything, being able to risk such a high risk and devour such a high-level stove fire is undoubtedly the most powerful fortune for it.

As the situation gradually stabilized, Zhong Lixiao was finally able to devote some of his attention to observing everything around him.

Then, Zhong Lixiao was horrified to find that the original Wuyin Mountain had completely disappeared.

Instead, there was an endless sea of fire. Even the earth disappeared and completely turned into endless magma.

As for the most terrifying thing, it was that many gods who were driven here by the war drums and forced to attack the stove on the Wuyin Mountain were nowhere to be seen now.

The world was red and there was nothing left.

Zhong Lixiao stared blankly at everything in front of him, unable to utter a word for a moment.

The gods who were driven here before were so numerous, more than tens of thousands.

And now, they are almost dead!
this.
Then, Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but think of his fourth senior sister Qin Jue, the great god who was both a scholar and a warrior and looked like an emperor.

Did they also perish in the endless flames before?
Zhong Lixiao felt indescribably sad!

Let’s not talk about the two great gods, one literary and one martial, for now. Fourth Senior Sister is a fellow disciple of Baiyun Temple, so there are some intersections after all.

But now she has disappeared completely like this
