My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 258 The remnant soul of the salesman’s heart!

The Kunpeng spreads its wings, and the chaotic energy follows it like a shadow.
With the combined power of the mutated Flowing Thunder Body and the Kunpeng Demon Body, Li Wei and his mirror image, using their physical strength, forcefully pierced through the surrounding mist and the collapsing, flying rocks, tearing through the void and shooting continuously into the distance.

As the earth churned

Some things that had been buried in the soil for a long time were also dug up.

Those were humanoid machines carrying shoulder poles and bundles of goods; these were peddler monks who had died in the Forbidden Land of Bewitching Souls over countless years.

Some of them were still intact, some were just heads, and many more were rusted and rotten. But under the influence of some mysterious force, all the peddler machines suddenly opened their eyes at this moment.

"Isn't I already dead? Why?"

brush!
A sharp glint appeared silently in everyone's eyes, and the next moment their eyes turned rainbow colors as they quietly looked at the figure flying across the sky.

".Kunpeng."

As if sensing something, the reflection of Li Wei, who was in flight, suddenly looked down and swept it towards the ground.

Although it is only a reflection,

However, possessing the same power as the Kunpeng, his eyes are even more acute than those of an eagle or falcon, able to see hundreds of miles in a single glance. Even a rain of flying earth and stones cannot obstruct Li Wei's vision.

Who's watching me?

Li Wei searched through the mirror image but found nothing.

Meanwhile, on the churning ground, more soil and rocks crumbled into rain, gradually imbued with traces of the power of law. Li Wei's mirror image had no choice but to restrain his thoughts and focus his attention on the surrounding attacks.

"Could it be that the person controlling this rain of earth is spying on me?"

Thinking of this,

Li Wei's mirror image was the first to activate the Thunder Law, then forcefully smashed open the curtain of earth rain in front of him. All the surrounding phenomena receded, the mist and earth rain retreated, as if even the wrath of heaven and earth could not stop the Peng shadow's determination to move forward.

Inside a quiet room in the misty city.

A cultivator resembling an octopus, covered in various tentacles and barbs, with each sucker spewing out metallic particles, slowly opened his eyes and frowned, saying:
"Lei Fa, this person seems to be my nemesis. He can break through my killing move while still in the Nascent Soul stage. If he enters the Divine Transformation stage, my life is over!"

Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, a sound like an engine running came from inside the octopus monster's body.

Beneath that twisted flesh, a cultivation core forged from the power of mechanical steel was radiating flames.

Countless dark blood vessels and a metal core fused together perfectly, breaking down the barrier between flesh and steel and forming a strange fusion.

Countless drops of blood were absorbed and devoured by the metal core, and every cell in the steel became more active.

In a trance,
A voice came from the metal core.

The octopus monster listened intently for a while, and finally nodded: "I understand. I will receive him, but whether he can reach our side depends on whether the remnant soul of the true god in Water Rust City will allow him to pass."

"After all, that thing is the king of the entire Bewitching Forbidden Land!!"

In mid-air, a vast net of mist relentlessly strangled Li Wei.

However, because Kunpeng was too fast, even though the mist stretched for thousands of miles, it could not completely lock his body. Every time, Li Wei was able to find an opportunity to break through the encirclement and then continue to use the compass to determine the direction to the Misty Capital.

"If that's all there is to it, then it's only a matter of time before I reach the Mist."

Is this really a god?
I didn't even feel much pressure?
A sense of doubt arose in Li Wei's heart, so he decided to test him.

Chirp! !

A piercing cry of a roc swept across the surrounding area.

Li Wei's true form stopped and stared intently at the mist above.

He didn't speak, but the surrounding mist seemed to have heard his provocation. As a result, the colorful, bewitching smoke in the sky churned and began to glow with enchanting and eerie light.

The divine killing move, [Bewitching Smoke], has been activated!!

After becoming a self-contained entity, the Bewitching Forbidden Land has formed a stable small-scale structure, so the bewitching mist here is generally dormant.
Otherwise, none of the life here would survive, and there would be no human power to operate and enforce its laws.

Bewitching smoke, if there is no soul present, then there is no foundation for its existence. Therefore, normally, bewitching smoke will not harm mortals except to seal off forbidden areas and prevent people from going out.

And now,
Provoked by Li Wei, this divine killing move was activated, radiating a terrifying power of law. But the question is, how did he even have time to feel fear?

The killing moves of immortals and gods are like killing ants to mortals. Li Wei's cultivation level should have collapsed the moment he came into contact with them. But now he not only has time to feel fear, but he can also continue to flap his wings.

This only shows that the entity controlling this bewitching smoke attack is weaker than Li Wei imagined!

"Not a god! Or rather, at least not yet at the god-level power, but should already possess the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator and have the means to manipulate divine power!"

Thinking of this, Li Wei breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Given the scarcity of resources within the Bewitching Forbidden Land, the strength of the Nascent Soul cultivators here is estimated to be quite limited.

Just like now,
The person who used the mind-controlling smoke technique should have had their law strength maximized within the smoke's environment, yet their manipulation of the mist was so clumsy.

It's like a little kid waving a big stick; it's absolutely hilarious.

Thinking of this, Li Wei suddenly activated the Divine Firmament Tribulation Technique in his heart. At the same time, he began to merge his body with the Dao, connecting his will to the [Thunder Dao Awakening of Insects Transformation] system, and obtained the power to change the world.

Crack! !
A purple-gold lightning bolt shot into the sky, instantly dispelling the mist and tearing a path open for Li Wei.

Thunder is the master of celestial phenomena and is a superior law to laws like mist. The person who is currently controlling the bewitching smoke is too far away and has limited power, so even with the killing move of a god, he could not completely suppress Li Wei.

boom!
Li Wei flapped his wings again, defying the divine killing move, and forcefully broke through the encirclement of the mist, slowly rushing towards the distance.

A soft laugh suddenly came from the bottom of the rusty water where the city of Water Rust City is located.

Through the rusty green, foul-smelling water, one could see an enormous, remnant soul laughing at the bottom of the lake. But the laughter quickly aggravated its injuries, causing the twelve "nails" that had sealed it for countless years to begin to tremble.

The mechanical helmet on His head began to tighten, compressing His soul.

The mechanical arms and hands inserted into His limbs slowly activated, piercing deep into His soul and causing intense pain.

Inside His soul, where the internal organs should not exist, the mechanically crafted liver, gallbladder, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and intestines were forcibly connected to His soul, constantly absorbing His soul power and transforming it into a kind of deadly poison targeting the soul, which was then discharged into the surrounding rusty water.

As a result, the rust water became even more vibrant.

The remnant soul of the true god, immersed in it, became even weaker.

"Ha! You're still tormenting me even in death! Once I leave this place and find your mechanical heart, I'll definitely turn you into my slave and ensure you never get reincarnated!"

After the Lord of Bewitching Souls sneered, he had no choice but to withdraw his power and use his soul power to dilute the surrounding rusty water and corrosion. Otherwise, the soul power that he had painstakingly nurtured would be completely corroded away.

However, this time, the mechanical god remains used to seal Him were unusually active, constantly entering an overload state to devour His soul power, as if they wanted to fight Him to the death.

"You really want that kid to go? Fine, half for each of us, that's fair!"

Thinking this, the Lord of Bewitching Souls gradually relaxed his control over the distant mist, allowing Li Wei to rush towards the misty capital.

"If I were in my prime, how could I let this brat escape!"

Of course, the Lord of Bewitching Souls could keep Li Wei, but He had only recovered a little soul power and could not use it recklessly. He had to wait for the right opportunity!
Looking at that young and vibrant body, the remnant soul of the Bewitching Lord's eyes gleamed with intense greed: "Thunder magic! And the Awakening of Insects's Transformation Technique, a law that only a high-ranking Thunder God can master!"

"And the blood of the Kunpeng, the body of the Thunder God! If I could obtain this body... Alas! It's a pity that his true body didn't come to me, so even if I forcibly kept this clone, it would be of no value."

The master of bewitching sighed helplessly, then a hint of apprehension quickly appeared in his eyes: "They've been to Rust City, and now they're coming to find us again. It seems that old ghost Chu is going to start deceiving people to fill the hole again."

"But we must not let this kid fall into his trap, otherwise that old ghost might be able to destroy us, use the remnants of the Bewitching Soul and the remains of the Mechanical God to rebuild his foundation, and launch an attack on the position of god."

Thinking of this,

The master of bewitching magic began to send a message to his followers: "Prepare to receive a distinguished guest who is about to arrive. You must bring him to see me!"

Above the lush, rusty green water lies a colossal city built from countless human bones. The terrifying green water, capable of corroding all things and eroding even the souls of immortals, has no effect on these human bones, which is why people have built a city of bones on the water.

The cultivators in the city do not cultivate their physical bodies or machines, but only their bones and souls, so they all look like demons, and have built a bone hell in this forbidden area.

All the cultivators living here have transformed themselves into skeletal monsters.

The Lord of Bewitching Souls is the faith of these people! It is precisely because of the faith and worship of these people for countless years that the Lord of Bewitching Souls was able to awaken from his long slumber and gather powerful willpower once again.

After the Lord of Bewitching Souls issued the command, a powerful skeleton in the city, only the height of a child but whose bones radiated a golden glow, immediately bowed his head and said:

"Your Majesty's divine decree!"
