I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

The Sword Saint's words.

The hairs on the back of Gu Xiu's body stood on end instantly.

Within one's own sea of ​​consciousness lies a key that can unlock one's instincts, but once unlocked, one's consciousness will sink and dissipate!

Is this still considered one's own instinct, or will one's own instinct kill oneself?

and also.

Who was this key meant for, and why is it in my soul sea?

"This Buddhist karmic fire is indeed useful. It seems that even those who have used tricks against you fear its power. Although it cannot end everything, it can isolate all detection." The Sword Saint spoke again:

"You are not yet capable of uncovering the truth. Perhaps you will have to reach the Supreme Realm before you can affect this key. As for before that... you can only try to keep this Buddhist karmic fire burning."

"I will pass on a mental technique to you, which you can try to control the karmic fire. It will prevent the karmic fire from harming you, while also blocking the key below from being obtained by those with ulterior motives."

As the Sword Saint finished speaking.

A mental cultivation technique also surfaced in Gu Xiu's mind.

He tried to activate it according to the mental technique, and sure enough, he saw that the Buddhist karmic fire, which was burning instinctively but inevitably began to dim and extinguish under the tide of the Soul Lake, could be controlled by Gu Xiu to a certain extent. He could urge the karmic fire to avoid the attack of the tide and wait for an opportunity to launch a counterattack.

It's like two armies facing off, going back and forth, neither able to gain the upper hand, yet neither able to win.

entangled with each other.

……

Outside, as the power of the lightning tribulation grew stronger, it proved that Ye Wentian and Lü Dongshan's tribulations were nearing their end.

The two of them truly deserve to be called prodigies.

The explosion after five hundred years of silence was a result of accumulated strength. Even though the tribulations they faced were clearly extraordinary, they both persevered through them. With each tribulation's end and the subsequent feedback from heaven and earth, their auras grew stronger and stronger.

but.

Just as the Heavenly God Lord had said before, they had already expended a great deal of energy, and they were not fully prepared for this tribulation. With the continuous lightning tribulation, even with the feedback from heaven and earth, the injuries on their bodies were extremely terrible every time they faced the lightning tribulation head-on. Even with the feedback from heaven and earth to heal their injuries, it still took a process.

This made the eyes of many Supreme Immortal Puppets light up.

They fear the lightning tribulation, but if they wait until the lightning tribulation has just ended and the feedback from heaven and earth has not been fully absorbed, Lü Dongshan and Ye Wentian will also enter their weakest state.

That was their chance.

The Supreme Immortal Puppets grew expectant, but the group of prodigies beside them all wore troubled expressions:

"Damn it, why can't these Supreme Immortal Puppets be killed?"

"Even if they were cut in half, they could recover quickly. Weren't they supposed to be nearing the end of their lives and have extremely thin life essence? Why do I feel a strong vitality in them instead?"

“The Three Immortal Islands have a great variety of immortal fruits and medicines. All their disciples grew up eating immortal fruits. These supreme immortal puppets have probably used a lot of methods, and can even regenerate severed limbs quickly.”

"They must have used some kind of secret technique. As long as their souls aren't damaged, their severed limbs can regenerate quickly. Damn it, does that mean they're immortal?"

"I've heard of the Supreme Immortal Puppet before, but no one has ever said that it has this ability. Could it be that the Three Immortal Islands have improved the crafting method of the Supreme Immortal Puppet?"

"..."

Thanks to the Sword Saint's explanation, and the fact that the Supreme Immortal Puppets were so timid and hesitant when Lü Dongshan and Ye Wentian were undergoing their tribulations, the group of geniuses who had previously shown no fear and even actively attacked them, now that their cultivation was suppressed, these Supreme Immortal Puppets did indeed become less terrifying.

With their own sudden enlightenment and the perfect timing and location, they killed the three Supreme Immortal Puppets in one fell swoop.

This record is impressive enough.

Just when they thought they could take this opportunity to kill all the Supreme Immortal Puppets whose cultivation had been suppressed and help their ancestor be completely freed, they suddenly discovered that the three Supreme Immortal Puppets they thought they had killed had somehow returned to normal.

If they hadn't been in the narrow passage formed by the lightning tribulation, where these supreme lightning tribulations dared not act too recklessly, many geniuses would likely have perished back then.

Even though they had escaped and were temporarily safe, the expressions on everyone's faces were not good.

They could barely defeat these Supreme Immortal Puppets whose cultivation was suppressed, but they couldn't kill them, which puzzled them greatly. Logically speaking, Supreme Immortal Puppets were just puppets, and their bodies should have been cleaved into pieces, so they should have been dead.

Unexpectedly, even after being shattered into pieces, these Supreme Immortal Puppets were able to restore themselves to their original state.

this kind of thing.

Unheard, unseen.

Little did they know, the culprit behind all this was still Gu Xiu, who remained cross-legged with his eyes closed, seemingly still asleep. During the battle against the Crimson Cloud Divine Dynasty, because his cultivation was completely suppressed, Gu Xiu had repeatedly slain the Supreme Immortal Puppet, causing immense damage to the Three Immortal Islands.

Although this is nothing compared to the strength of the Three Immortal Islands, the fact that the Supreme Immortal Puppet could be so easily killed by a Nascent Soul cultivator is something they absolutely cannot accept.

So ever since then, the Three Immortal Islands have been trying to find ways to enhance the Supreme Immortal Puppet's abilities.

Ultimately, while it couldn't make the Supreme Immortal Puppets stronger—they still couldn't defeat normal Supremes of the same level—their survivability increased several times over. In fact, not only was it useless to have their physical bodies severed, but even if only their souls were severed, these Supreme Immortal Puppets would be fine. Once severed, they could rely on the power of their physical bodies to return to their original state.

at this point.

Even ordinary supreme beings cannot do that.

However, even if they knew these things, it wouldn't matter, because the problem they were facing was that none of them could simultaneously destroy the immortal puppet's physical body and its soul.

At this moment, looking at the Supreme Immortal Puppets squeezed into the narrow passage, staring bloodthirstyly at Ye Wentian and Lü Dongshan while slowly approaching them.

The group of geniuses felt as if a heavy mountain was pressing down on them, making it hard for them to breathe, and they could only slowly retreat.

But even the largest chessboard is ultimately finite.

When they reached the location of the Sword Saint, they had nowhere left to retreat.

"Yin Ruozhuo, it seems that the tide is not on your side this time."

“Look at this bunch of good-for-nothings. They’re all called geniuses outside, but geniuses are just geniuses. When they face a real ancestor, they all have to kneel down.”

"This time, no one can save you."

Although the words of the five supreme beings were addressed to the Sword Saint, when they reached the ears of the group of geniuses, their faces turned pale and then red, especially those geniuses who were famous on the Heavenly Ranking, whose expressions were extremely grim.

Xue Wuya, in particular, gritted his teeth and then...

Step forward.

As the ninth-ranked demonic cultivator on the Heavenly Pride Ranking of the Northern Region, he usually instilled fear and timidity in others. However, he was now like a roadside figure on the Sword Enlightenment Platform, which made him extremely unwilling. Under the guidance of the old sword saint, he had made some progress. With Lü Dongshan and Ye Wentian undergoing their tribulations, he thought he would be able to dominate the world.

And that's exactly what he did. In fact, he killed two of the three Supreme Immortal Puppets that had just been slain. But unexpectedly, they were resurrected and even forced him into a series of defeats.

Hearing these words, he still gritted his teeth.

I stepped forward again.

As a demonic cultivator from the Northern Region, he can be feared and cursed, but he must never be looked down upon!

"A little demon from the Northern Sea dares to block my path?" The Supreme Immortal Puppet standing at the forefront sneered, "Although your techniques are somewhat troublesome, crushing you is no different from crushing an ant."

"An old ghost who survived by using methods that are neither human nor ghost, dares to talk to me? If you have the guts, let's have a final battle!" Xue Wuyai sneered, and with a single step, he instantly transformed into a streak of blood light and charged forward.

"You're courting death!" The Supreme Immortal Puppet's face turned cold, and he immediately charged forward.

With a series of loud bangs, a fierce battle quickly broke out between the two.

Xue Wuyai was a disciple of the Blood Fiend Sect and a direct disciple of the Blood Abyss Demon Lord. Moreover, he mainly cultivated the Blood Demon Technique, which had extremely strong survival capabilities. It was rumored that he could be reborn with just a little blood. Although this was somewhat exaggerated, he was indeed fearless of death.

In the midst of their fierce battle, the two sides were able to suppress the Supreme Immortal Puppet.

Especially after completely abandoning its defenses, although its own injuries continued to increase and it was covered in blood, it still tore the Supreme Immortal Puppet to shreds time and time again.

However, while his Blood Demon Technique could quickly repair himself, the Supreme Immortal Puppet before him also possessed that strange regeneration technique. In particular, since the opponent was originally a Supreme Being with numerous methods, Xue Wuyai could only forcibly activate his own Blood Demon Technique to accelerate the consumption of his blood essence and fight against the opponent.

The fight between the two was incredibly bloody.

As time went on, Xue Wuya's movements became slower and slower, and his already pale face became increasingly unsightly.

In terms of attrition, he couldn't outlast his opponent.

In terms of strength, he was no match for his opponent.

"boom--!"

With a muffled thud, Xue Wuyai was knocked to the ground, a terrible gash appearing on his chest, stretching all the way to his navel, revealing his bloodied internal organs. He struggled to get up, but the healing of his injuries became incredibly slow.

After barely managing to recover, he struggled to get up again, but a large foot suddenly stepped on his chest, pinning him to the ground.

"Blood Demon Regeneration? That's nothing but a minor path. The true path of immortality is far beyond what someone like you can compare to."

The other party's cold voice came, and Xue Wuyai felt lost but powerless to resist. He looked up and saw that the other party had raised a long sword high. Behind him, the lightning of Lu Dongshan's tribulation made the other party's body appear even more imposing, and the long sword shone with a cold light.

He had a premonition that this strike would completely destroy his Blood Demon Technique!

However, at this moment, he was powerless to resist, or rather, he had lost even the will to resist.

He fell into doubt.

Is my own cultivation technique really inferior to that of a mere puppet?

Long knife.

As he fell suddenly at that moment, Xue Wuyai stared wide-eyed, determined to face death!

only……

Just then, a cold glint flashed.

A blood-red thread suddenly appeared on the body of the tall and imposing Supreme Immortal Puppet, stretching from its left shoulder to its right abdomen.

next moment.

The upper body of the Supreme Immortal Puppet slowly slid down and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Xue Wuyai's eyes widened in shock. He saw a figure, still dressed in a black robe, but with hair turned to white frost, slowly stepping out.

He stood in front of himself.

"Twenty Supreme Immortal Puppets?"

"If I kill them all..."

"The Three Immortal Islands must be very sad, right?"
