Starting with the Earth God, the path to immortality is deduced!

As Zhou Yuan's urgent and loud incantation rang out.

The blue light around him suddenly condensed.

It transformed into a giant ancient seal character – “安”!

The character "安" (An) radiated a gentle yet firm light.

It's like a stabilizing force in a storm.

boom--!

The huge character "安" slammed hard into that large, earthen-yellow hand.

Two completely different forces.

A violent collision occurred in mid-air.

There was no earth-shattering explosion.

Instead, it's a grinding, teeth-grinding sound.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!

The blue light and the yellow light eroded each other.

Neither side would give in.

That seemingly unstoppable giant hand.

It was actually blocked in mid-air by this tiny character "安"!

"Um?"

The ghost scholar let out a soft exclamation.

An incredulous look appeared on his face.

"Authentic Taoist incantations?"

"You're just a lowly earth god."

"How could he possibly know such profound Taoist magic?!"

To know.

In this age of the decline of the divine way.

The true lineage of Taoism has long been severed.

Most practitioners.

They all relied on incomplete and unorthodox methods of cultivation.

Such a righteous and awe-inspiring "soul-soothing incantation".

Even the direct disciples of those great sects might not be able to perform it!

"What I know."

"There are plenty!"

Zhou Yuan didn't waste any words with him.

Taking advantage of the moment when the large hand was blocked.

His Yin energy accelerated once more.

He transformed into a streak of light.

He charged straight at the ghostly figure on the altar!

To catch the thief, first catch the king!

As long as the Ghost Scholar is eliminated.

This great formation naturally collapsed on its own!

"court death!"

The ghost scholar was furious.

He hadn't expected that this ant would not only block his attack.

They even dared to launch a charge!

This is blasphemy against God!

"Since you want to die."

"I, the god, will grant your wish!"

The ghost scholar suddenly clasped his hands together.

hum!

The earth god statue behind him.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes.

Those were stone eyes without pupils.

At this moment, two black and red beams of light shot out.

It pierced straight at Zhou Yuan's Yin spirit!

The beam of light was moving at an extremely high speed.

It arrived almost instantly.

Zhou Yuan had no way to avoid it.

He could only raise the blue ghost lamp in his hand to withstand the attack.

clang!

A crisp sound.

Zhou Yuan felt a tremendous force coming from him.

His spirit felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer.

He was sent flying backwards.

They retreated a good dozen feet.

He barely managed to steady himself.

At this moment, he...

The spirit flickered intermittently.

It was clearly subjected to considerable shock.

"So strong!"

Zhou Yuan's heart sank.

The last time we fought.

This made him clearly realize the gap between the two sides.

That damned scholar.

It's not just about having profound cultivation.

Even more terrifying.

He has the support of the entire Fengzhou landform!

Even though Zhou Yuan cut off his attack.

He can also instantly draw power from the earth to replenish himself.

This feeling.

It's like fighting a tireless, infinitely powerful monster!

"Joo Won!"

"Are you alright?!"

"It's Ma Ling'er below!" Ma Ling'er called out anxiously.

She noticed that Zhou Yuan was not in a good mood.

"Cough cough..."

Zhou Yuan waved his hand.

He indicated that he was alright.

But the seriousness in his eyes was impossible to hide.

"This guy..."

"It's practically a turtle shell."

Zhou Yuan cursed inwardly.

He discovered.

Over time.

The oppressive aura emanating from the Ghost Scholar grew increasingly heavy.

The black aura surrounding the altar of bones was so thick it was impossible to dissipate.

"no."

"Conventional methods cannot harm him at all."

"We must find a way to sever his connection to the ley lines!"

Zhou Yuan's mind raced.

His gaze.

He stared intently at the crumbling earth god statue.

That is the hub connecting the ghost priests and the earth's veins!

It is also the core of this great formation!

"As long as we destroy that idol..."

Zhou Yuan made up his mind.

But the statue was right behind the ghost priest.

I want to destroy it.

We must break through the Ghost Scholar's defenses.

This is almost an impossible task.

unless……

Someone can help him restrain the evil scholar!

Zhou Yuan subconsciously glanced at Ma Ling'er and Gun Gun below.

At this moment, they...

It's already at its last gasp.

They simply cannot possibly have any fighting power anymore.

"Could it be...?"

"Are we really going to use that move?"

Zhou Yuan's hand.

He slowly reached for the book "Strange Tales of Gods and Monsters" in his arms.

On the last page of that book.

It seals away a terrifying being.

That was at the beginning of his transmigration.

What I encountered in that deserted well.

Although his current strength is not enough to fully control it.

But if it's a forced lifting of the lockdown...

Just as Zhou Yuan was hesitating.

The ghost scholar opposite seemed to be losing patience.

"Little mouse."

"Have you had enough fun?"

The ghost scholar slowly raised his hand.

In his palm.

It actually coalesced into a large, earthen-yellow seal.

That's the "Seal of the Earth God"!

Although it's a fake.

But it also embodies the spirit and destiny of Fengzhou.

"This move."

"I'm sending you to meet the King of Hell!"

The ghost scholar let out a sharp shout.

The large seal in his hand swelled with the wind.

In the blink of an eye.

It then transformed into the size of a small mountain.

With an overwhelming aura.

It crashed down on Zhou Yuan's head!

"The Heaven-Turning Seal?!"

Zhou Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

He could sense it.

This attack locked onto his vital energy.

No matter where he escapes to.

They will all be smashed into mincemeat by this "mountain"!

"Let's give it our all!"

Zhou Yuan no longer hesitated.

His spirit suddenly ignited.

He was burning his own primordial soul power!

"Strange Tales of the Supernatural!"

"Open it!"

Just as Zhou Yuan was preparing to fight desperately.

A sudden change has occurred!

Boom!

A dull, loud bang.

Suddenly, it came from deep within the earth.

Followed by.

That arrogant and wicked scholar.

His body suddenly stiffened.

The large seal that was originally aimed at Zhou Yuan.

It actually stopped in mid-air!

"What's going on?!"

The ghost scholar let out a roar filled with shock and rage.

He was horrified to discover this.

The earth vein power that was originally flowing continuously into his body.

It happened at this very moment.

It's broken!

It's like there's an invisible giant hand.

They abruptly severed the power transmission pipeline underground!

It's not just broken.

That originally gentle earth energy.

At this moment, it suddenly became violent.

It began to viciously attack his body!

puff!

The ghost scholar suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.

His body, which was originally being deified.

Cracks have started to appear!

"This is……"

Zhou Yuan was also taken aback.

But he quickly realized what was happening.

His gaze was fixed on a direction outside the earth god temple.

there.

There seems to be a familiar aura rising up.

"That is..."

"The direction of the City God Temple?!"

Zhou Yuan suddenly remembered something.

He had previously calculated this.

The three major feng shui nodes of Fengzhou City.

Besides the Earth God Temple.

There's also the City God Temple!

"Could it be...?"

A look of wild joy flashed in Zhou Yuan's eyes.

"Chance!"

Although I don't know what happened.

But he knew.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

That originally invincible "demigod".

At this moment, a fatal flaw was revealed!

"Strike while the iron is hot!"

"I'll take your life!"

Zhou Yuan roared.

His spirit is no longer preserved.

All the power.

All the yin energy.

All of it was poured into the blue lamp in his hand.

"A lamp of azure light!"

"Illuminating mountains and rivers!"

boom--!

That small, green lamp.

At this moment.

A blue sun burst forth.

It carried all of Zhou Yuan's anger and murderous intent.

Towards the ghost scholar who was vomiting blood.

It rammed into them hard!

"No--!"

The ghost scholar let out a desperate roar.

But he was harmed by the earth's energy.

They were completely unable to move.

They could only watch helplessly as the blue sun rose.

In his pupils.

It's getting bigger and bigger...

boom--!

A deafening roar shook the heavens and earth, as if it would shatter the world.

The blinding light instantly engulfed the entire earth god temple.

The violent air currents, like a Category 12 hurricane, swept wildly in all directions.

The already dilapidated main hall of the earth god temple finally succumbed to the impact.

Click!

Countless tiles turned to dust.

The massive beams and pillars snapped with a deafening roar.

Smoke and dust billowed, and gravel flew everywhere.

Below, Ma Ling'er tightly hugged the head of the rolling ball, burying her entire body in its thick fur.

"Waaaaah!"

Rolling let out a terrified cry, covered its eyes with its two paws, and curled its body into a ball of flesh.

It felt a terrifying pressure that made the bear feel suffocated.

That was a terror on a spiritual level.

In mid-air.

The blue and red light continued to devour each other frantically.

It was like two tireless, ferocious beasts engaged in a fierce battle.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!

The teeth-grinding scraping sound constantly assaulted everyone's eardrums.

Zhou Yuan's Yin spirit, at the center of that blue sun, had a distorted face.

He gritted his teeth and persevered.

Every inch of the soul felt like it was being crushed by a millstone.

pain!

Excruciating pain that penetrates to the bone!

That was the most direct clash of wills and strength between the two sides.

Although the ghost scholar suffered a backlash due to the incident at the City God Temple.

But he had already stepped one foot into the path of divinity.

The earth god statue behind him, though cracked, continued to provide him with power.

"Hehehe..."

"Kid!"

"You think you can win like this?!"

From the epicenter of the explosion came the voice of Gui Juren, somewhat exasperated yet still filled with arrogance.

All that could be seen was a sky filled with smoke and dust.

The figure sitting cross-legged on the altar of bones did not fall down.

Although his bright red official robe was already tattered.

Although black blood was still dripping from the corner of his mouth.

But his green eyes became even more crazed.

"I am indeed injured."

"Most of the earth's veins have also been severed."

"but……"

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse!

"On this small plot of land belonging to the local earth god temple."

"I am the heavens!"

The ghost scholar suddenly roared.

He frantically formed hand seals.

The dilapidated earth god statue behind them suddenly lit up with an eerie light again.

That's not the power of the earth's veins.

Instead, it is stored inside the statue, the accumulated incense and prayer power over the past hundreds of years!

Although these incense sticks have long been tainted by resentment.

It became the most vicious curse.

But power is power!

Rumble!

With the eruption of this force.

The altar of white bones beneath the ghost priest began to rotate.

Countless wronged souls wailed in the altar.

It transformed into a black whirlwind, directly smashing through Zhou Yuan's Azure Lamp.

"Get out of my way!"

The ghost scholar struck out with his palm.

This time.

It is no longer an illusory giant hand.

Instead, it was a giant physical hand formed from countless black runes.

On that palm, you could even see the clear palm lines.

Each palm line is like a ravine flowing with lava.

It carried an aura so heavy it was almost despairing.

That is the weight of the "earth"!

Even without the source of the earth's veins.

He can still mobilize the remaining power of the rules in this land!

boom!

A muffled thud.

Zhou Yuan's Azure Lamp was actually half shattered by this palm strike.

An indescribable force came.

Zhou Yuan felt as if his Yin spirit had been struck by a flying mountain.

"puff!"

Although it is a spirit, it has no blood.

But he still exhaled a large mouthful of pure soul energy.

The originally solid Yin spirit instantly became somewhat transparent.

He flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

"Joo Won!"

Ma Ling'er below was furious.

She wanted to rush forward.

But that annoying "White Impermanence" paper figure blocked her way once again.

"Hehehe..."

"Little sister, where do you want to go?"

"Stay and play with your sister..."

White Impermanence waved his mourning staff, stirring up gusts of eerie wind.

The laughter was sharp and piercing, making people feel irritated.

"Get out of here!"

"I don't have time to play with you!"

Ma Ling'er got anxious.

She was really anxious.

She could tell that Zhou Yuan was in a very dangerous situation.

That level of clash is simply beyond the capacity of a Night Wanderer Realm cultivator to withstand.

"Get out!"

"Stop pretending to be dead!"

"Run it over!"

Ma Ling'er kicked Gun Gun's butt.

"roar!"

Although Gun Gun was scared.

But I also know that now is the time to fight tooth and nail.

It let out a roar that was completely at odds with its honest appearance.

Suddenly, that plump body shone with a golden light.

That's the bloodline talent of the Iron-Eating Beast clan!

boom!

The tumbler, like a heavy armored vehicle, crashed directly into the White Impermanence.

Although Bai Wuchang's movements are strange.

But under such overwhelming impact, they can only temporarily avoid the brunt of the attack.

"A great opportunity!"

A glint of light flashed in Ma Ling'er's eyes.

A handful of black glutinous rice appeared in her hand.

That's the Ma family's secret recipe for "Thunderfire Glutinous Rice".

Each grain has absorbed the energy of thunder during a thunderstorm.

"Heavenly thunder and earthly fire, heed my command!"

"go!"

Ma Ling'er sprinkled out a handful of glutinous rice.

Crackling sounds!

The glutinous rice hit the White Impermanence, instantly creating a series of sparks.

It's like setting off firecrackers.

"ah--!"

The White Impermanence let out a scream.

The paper clothes on his body were blown to pieces.

But Ma Ling'er had no time to care whether it lived or died.

She touched the rolling back with her toes.

She took flight like a nimble swallow.

The demon-subduing staff in his hand, accompanied by a whistling sound, headed straight for the ghostly figure on the altar.

"evildoer!"

"Don't hurt my friend!"

Ma Ling'er used all her strength in this attack.

The faint sound of a dragon's roar could be heard emanating from the Demon-Subduing Staff.

That was the blessing of the Ma family's divine dragon edict!

however.

Faced with this fierce attack.

The ghost scholar didn't even turn his head.

A contemptuous sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Overestimating one's abilities."

All I could see was behind him.

The "Black Impermanence" paper figure that had remained silent all along.

It suddenly moved.

Splash!

A jet-black chain, like a venomous snake emerging from the void.

fast!

too fast!

Ma Ling'er couldn't even see its trajectory clearly.

I felt a tightness in my ankle.

A chilling sensation instantly spread from my ankles throughout my body.

"Gotcha..."

The sinister voice of the Black Impermanence rang out from below.
