Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 359 Golden Lightning
midair.

Xu Ran seemed to be surrounded by golden lightning.

In a dazzling golden aura, he quickly formed seals with his hands, and golden runes around him danced and flickered, erupting into waves of heart-pounding ripples and fluctuations.

He moved with unpredictable and strange movements, and with each step he took, a golden light shone behind him, covering up the nine rays of light in the sky.

At this moment, Xu Ran was like a rapidly moving sun, with endless power gushing out of his body.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Ran arrived in front of the Divine Eyes of Heaven.

The divine eyes of heaven have a far greater auxiliary role than an offensive role. The reason why the golden rays shot out from its eyes were able to break Xu Ran's defense was mainly because it could see through the weaknesses of Xu Ran's body.

Now, by analyzing the origin, Xu Ran has gained the ability to conceal the secrets of heaven, making it impossible for the Divine Eyes of Heaven to see through his weaknesses.

Even if the Divine Eyes of Heaven could lock onto Xu Ran again at this moment, the eight golden rays with rising auras would not cause any harm to Xu Ran!

just now.

Xu Ran was even closer to him, and endless spiritual energy burst out from his body, causing the figure of Tianji Shenmou in the sky to distort.

Its attack capability is weak. Even though it is a magic weapon, its defense capability is not as good as other magic weapons.

Xu Ran’s inflated fists slammed into the eye in the center of Tianji Divine Eyes.

Suddenly, a burst of golden light burst out from the collision between the two, bathing the arena in golden light.

At the same time, the entire space where the Divine Eyes of Heaven were located suddenly collapsed.

"Crack!"

Then, a crisp shattering sound was heard, and the eight golden rays that were circling in the sky like headless flies suddenly dimmed in color and kept shrinking at the moment the sound was heard.

In the blink of an eye, the golden ray that was almost a hundred meters thick disappeared.

And in the high sky where the Divine Eyes of Heaven were originally located, where the space collapsed, countless fragments flew out from it. Upon closer inspection, these fragments were accompanied by a golden aura, and also contained a trace of the aura of Heaven.

The moment these fragments appeared, before anyone else could react, the ancient bronze door, which had been motionless before, once again emitted a curtain of light, and an invisible suction force sucked all the ejected fragments into it.

The white aura on the golden puppet standing on the ancient bronze door dropped again, and at the same time, the shape of the ancient bronze door also became illusory.

Xu Ran turned into normal size and turned his attention to the two of them.

"It seems that if this happens again, this golden puppet and the ancient bronze door will disappear!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the light curtain of the ancient bronze door, which had just returned to silence, began to ripple again, and its original white color quickly turned black, like clear water stained with ink, accompanied by a faint stench.

Before long, the black light curtain began to crack like a broken mirror, spreading from the middle to the surrounding areas.

Before everyone understood what was happening.

"clang!"

A crisp shattering sound was heard, and the light curtain that had completely turned black shattered. Suddenly, a foul stench filled the entire arena.

At the same time, nine black stone pillars suddenly appeared from the broken black light curtain.

The nine stone pillars were not very long, only about ten meters in length. The surface of the stone pillars was composed of black, obscure runes. In addition, there were cracks on the surface of the stone pillars, like a spider web, as if something was about to break out of them.

Xu Ran looked a little confused at this scene.

Not only Xu Ran, but even the souls who were watching the battle outside at the moment, also smelled a faint foul odor the moment the black stone pillar appeared.

At the same time, they also looked bewildered. They stared blankly at the nine stone pillars that emerged from the ancient bronze door. Their thoughts kept surging, trying to find records that matched these nine stone pillars from the ancient books they had read.

However, these souls still had no clue.

Not only them, but even the three soul bodies in the front were a little confused at this moment. It was obvious that with their eyesight, they could not figure out what these nine stone pillars were.

"Senior Brother, what are these nine stone pillars?" The younger sister frowned, and a faint pink soul power attached to her nose, as if trying to isolate the foul smell.

But even so, the stench could not be blocked.

"In my memory, there was no such magical weapon in ancient times. I can't see it?"

The second senior brother couldn't tell what kind of magic weapon it was at this moment. He was someone who had experienced that great battle. He was also present when the ancient bronze gate sucked in all the magic weapons that had lost their owners.

But at this time, it had no effect on the nine black stone pillars.

Likewise, even with the power of his black flame, he was unable to isolate the stench emanating from it.

For a moment, both of them looked at the all-knowing eldest brother, hoping to get an answer from him.

It's not just these two people, all other souls are like this.

Those who can appear here are all geniuses of an era, with countless resources in their hands. Now, there is not even a single word about them in ancient books, and they don’t even have any existence at all, which is enough to arouse their curiosity.

The eldest brother felt everyone's gaze, and when he spoke, a white chill spread out.

"I do not know either!"

The five words that came out of the eldest brother's mouth could also shock their hearts.

Who is the eldest senior brother? He is an unparalleled genius who repaired the cracks and sealed the [Power of Annihilation]. Even the geniuses of their era cannot compare to him.

Moreover, the eldest brother had once entered the crack and witnessed countless things. Even such an existence did not know what these nine stone pillars were?
They had never imagined such a thing.

"However, the black runes on these nine stone pillars should be from the Nether Abyss!"

As soon as the word "Mingyuan" was uttered, the arena suddenly fell into silence. The air seemed to be still and no sound was heard.

An expression of fear appeared on the faces of all the souls, even the second senior brother and the youngest junior sister.

The Nether Abyss, the most dangerous place in the Source Realm, is as its name suggests, bottomless. Since its creation, no one has ever entered it and yet come out.

Speaking of the Endless Abyss, at least there is a powerful person who can get the Nine Nether Cold Sand from it.

But as for this dark abyss, let alone speaking about it, even getting close to it is impossible.

As long as you get within a thousand miles of it, you will be entangled by an invisible aura. Within three days, no matter how strong your body is, it will turn into a pool of black water and fall from the world.

So, no one has ever entered it.

Even the thousand-mile Nether Abyss was so dangerous, let alone the real Nether Abyss. As for how they knew the Nether Abyss was an endless abyss, it was because the Taoist Tianji successfully forged the Divine Eyes of Heaven when he attained enlightenment. To satisfy his curiosity, he deliberately cast the Divine Eyes of Heaven, which was imbued with a trace of the aura of the Heavenly Dao, into the Nether Abyss.

In an instant, an endless abyss was projected into the sky above the Source Realm through the Divine Eyes of Heaven, allowing everyone to see its true appearance.

It was a completely dark place. The darkness in it seemed to be able to swallow everything, not even light could escape. Even some powerful people with weak mental strength fell into a daze the moment they saw this projection, and then they could no longer recover and died.

Taoist Tianji, as the owner of the Tianji Divine Eyes, seemed to have witnessed the true picture of the underworld.

The projection disappeared the moment it appeared high in the sky above the Source Realm. After that, Taoist Tianji never talked about anything about the Nether Abyss again.

There are only a few written records about Mingyuan.

From then on, the Nether Abyss became the fear in everyone's heart.

Now, hearing these two words from the eldest brother's mouth again, an unconscious fear gradually spread in my heart.

When the second brother heard this, his eyes were shocked at first, but then he looked at the eldest brother in horror.

"How did Senior Brother know that those runes came from the Nether Abyss?"

A question arose in my mind, but I didn't ask it.

No one has ever entered the Nether Abyss. If that’s the case, how did the eldest brother know that these runes came from the Nether Abyss?

Could it be that the eldest senior brother has entered before?

But soon, his gaze shifted to the ancient bronze door in the mirror, and he understood.

In order to completely seal the crack, the eldest brother had once entered the crack and seen the ancient bronze door in it. Now, these nine stone pillars appeared from it again, so it was not surprising that he recognized them.

Speaking of the Nether Abyss, all the souls fell into silence, staring at the scene in the mirror with curiosity, and they all wanted to see what kind of abilities the thing that appeared from the Nether Abyss had!

Xu Ran stood on the ground and waved his tender little hands in front of his nose. A stream of innate energy attached to his nasal cavity, and the stench dissipated a lot.

At the same time, he looked at the nine stone pillars that appeared, and for some reason, his heartbeat quickened a bit, as if something that could threaten him was about to appear among them.

"Crack!"

Just as Xu Ran was thinking, nine crisp sounds came from the nine black stone pillars at the same time.

Looking inside, I saw that the nine stone pillars had spider-web-like cracks on them, all of which cracked open at the same time. The surface of the stone pillars turned into pieces of gravel and fell to the ground, corroding the ground in an instant, leaving a deep pit.

At the same time, nine gusts of wind burst out from the stone pillars, carrying a foul smell, and instantly swept across the entire arena.

Xu Ran narrowed his eyes, staring at the strong wind, and staring intently at the stone pillar that kept falling rubble, and suddenly his eyes focused.

"That's... a person!"

Suddenly, Xu Ran’s eyes widened and he stared at the stone pillar in disbelief.

He actually saw a human arm from the stone pillar.

If there is a person inside one of the stone pillars, then is the same true for the other eight stone pillars?

Then, Xu Ran's eyes quickly swept over each stone that had fallen off, and he could vaguely see human body parts in them, including hands, feet, torso, and head.
Apart from the different body parts seen, the only thing in common is that each part of the body is black and has layers of black runes on it.

Although only a part of it could be seen, with Xu Ran's current observation ability, he discovered that the runes on these parts were exactly the same as the runes on the stone pillars!
"call!"

Not long!
From the stone pillar that was constantly dropping rubble, a violent gust of wind erupted again, blowing all the falling rubble away.

"boom!"

The nine stone pillars exploded in an instant as if they were blown up, and splashed everywhere. At the same time, the things inside the stone pillars were completely revealed to everyone.

Those were nine complete people covered in black!
The stone pillars that had just appeared seemed to be intended to seal the existence of these nine people. The moment they exploded, the nine people who were originally lying flat instantly stood up, their eyes glowing red, and gusts of black wind whistled out from their bodies.

At the same time, there was a foul odor in the air.

Not only that, these nine people have black runes all over their bodies.

If you look closely at these black runes, you will find that they are not shining, but there are black maggots crawling on the lines. Wherever they crawl, they leave a pool of black liquid. No one knows what it is.

Every time the maggots crawl across a line, the aura of these people will increase.

In addition, the fingertips of these nine people are fleshless, revealing dark golden finger bones.

The eldest brother outside the arena exclaimed in surprise when he saw the dark golden finger bones.

"Ancient War Puppet!"

He, who was always calm, actually stood up from his seat and stared at the nine people who emerged from the stone pillars with trembling eyes.

"There's actually an ancient war puppet in the Nether Abyss!"

The eldest brother was surprised for a moment, then slowly sat down, muttering to himself, as if he was thinking about something.

The rest of the people, upon hearing the eldest brother's words, were also bewildered, not knowing what he was talking about.

Not only them, but even the second senior brother and the younger junior sister were confused.

They had also never heard of the Ancient War Puppet.

What kind of existence is this thing that even they have never heard of?

All of a sudden, everyone's attention was aroused, and they all wanted to know something from the eldest brother.

"Ahem!" The eldest brother coughed lightly and calmed down. "Ordinary puppets need a driving force to drive them to move, just like the Five Elements puppets that appeared in the trial!"

"But the war puppet, although also a puppet, is completely different from it!"

After a moment of silence, the eldest brother continued.

"Firstly, only the complete corpse of an extremely powerful being can become the raw material for a war puppet!"

"The completeness I'm talking about isn't just physical completeness, but completeness in every aspect: the Great Dao, the origin, and one's own understanding."

"Everything that a supreme being possesses must be complete, only then can it become the material for a war puppet!"

After the eldest brother finished speaking, there was no sound in the entire arena, as if time had been paused, as if you could hear a pin drop!
