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

"kill!!!"

Zhou Yuan let out a furious roar.

It is the clarion call for a desperate battle.

As he finished speaking.

That book, "Strange Tales of Gods and Monsters," was floating in the air.

The pages were turned at an extremely fast speed.

slam-la-

Golden light cascaded down like a waterfall.

They tried to wash away the nauseating stench of blood from the main hall.

however.

Lin Xuan stood on the high platform.

Faced with this seemingly overwhelming attack.

He simply shook his head slightly.

That face that was half human and half ghost.

He revealed a smile of extreme contempt.

"Like an ant trying to shake a tree."

"How ridiculous and overestimating themselves."

He slowly raised his right hand.

That ghostly hand covered in black scales.

Gently grasp the void.

"break."

Just one word.

Yet it seemed as if his words were law.

boom!

The blood pool inside the hall instantly boiled.

Countless streams of viscous blood shot into the sky.

It coalesced into a gigantic, blood-red demonic claw in mid-air.

On that ghostly claw.

The spirits of the wronged linger.

You can even see faces contorted in pain.

It floats and sinks in the blood.

It let out a silent wail.

Bang!

The golden light and the blood claws collided fiercely in mid-air.

It made a muffled sound.

It was like a heavy hammer striking rotten leather.

Zhou Yuan felt a tightness in his chest.

A sweet taste rose in my throat.

That book, "Strange Tales of Gods and Monsters," lost its luster.

He was so shocked that he was sent flying back into his sea of ​​consciousness.

"How is that possible?"

Ma Ling'er exclaimed in surprise.

The demon-subduing staff almost slipped from his hand.

"This book is your lifeblood!"

"How come it was blocked so easily?"

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath.

He forcibly suppressed the surging blood and qi.

His gaze was fixed intently on Lin Xuan.

"It's not about blocking them back."

"It's suppression."

"He's using the resentment that fills the city."

"Suppress my divine power."

Lin Xuan at this moment.

His aura changed once again.

The original scarlet sacrificial robes.

It suddenly exploded.

His true body was now revealed.

What a bizarre body it was!

Left side of the body.

They still retain their human appearance.

Fair skin.

It even has a touch of scholarly air about it.

But the right side of the body.

But it has already become completely blurred.

It turned into a constantly writhing mass of black mist.

Within that black mist.

A suit of jet-black armor was faintly visible.

The style of the armor.

It turns out that Zhou Yuan was the same person when he was the Earth God.

A divine robe formed from solidified energy.

They look about 70% similar!

just.

Zhou Yuan's divine robe was a thick, earthy yellow.

It represents the earth's support and protection.

And this is what Lin Xuan is wearing.

It was a deep, dark black.

Strange blood patterns flowed across it.

It exuded a despairing stillness and coldness.

"this……"

Zhou Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

He squeezed out a few words through his teeth.

"A demonic or divine manifestation?!"

"Good eye."

Lin Xuan hovered in mid-air.

That body was half real and half illusory.

It gives people an extremely unreal feeling.

It was as if he was his whole being.

They are all stuck in the gap between the realms of Yin and Yang.

"Zhou Yuan".

"Since you are a local deity..."

"You should recognize this outfit, right?"

Lin Xuan lowered his head.

The single eye on that half-ghost face.

It shimmered with an eerie red light.

"This is the surprise I prepared for you."

"Based on the power of the evil god from the Void Abyss."

"Using the living souls of all the people in this city as flesh."

"Furthermore, the methods of the Earth Deity and Gods shall be employed."

"Rebuild the golden body!"

"Now."

"Neither human nor human."

"It's not a ghost either."

"But rather, the new ruler of Fengzhou City!"

You can call me—

"Ghost land!"

boom!

As these three words were uttered.

An extremely terrifying pressure.

It swept the entire venue in an instant.

That wasn't just ordinary killing intent.

Rather, it is a form of suppression from the perspective of one's social position.

A situation where a subordinate is facing a superior.

Instinctive fear.

"Ghost land..."

Zhou Yuan felt a weight on his shoulder.

It's as if there's a huge mountain.

It suddenly pressed down on his back.

It made it difficult for him to even breathe.

Even the circulation of divine power within the body.

Stagnation occurred in all of them.

"absurd!"

Zhou Yuan bit the tip of his tongue.

Taking advantage of the intense pain.

Keep yourself alert.

"The way of the gods is to gather the wishes and power of all living beings."

"Protecting this land and its people."

"What kind of god are you?"

"A Dharma body formed by devouring living souls."

"That's a demon!"

"That's an evil spirit!"

"You are not worthy to use the word 'land'!"

Hearing Zhou Yuan's reprimand.

Lin Xuan was not angry.

Instead, he burst into laughter.

They laughed so hard they were doubled over.

I laughed so hard tears were streaming down my face.

"Am I not worthy?"

"Joo Won, Joo Won."

"You're so naive."

"So innocently cute."

Lin Xuan stopped smiling.

His eyes instantly turned icy cold.

"You are just a small village or hamlet."

"Its jurisdiction covers only a few miles."

"The believers are only a few hundred villagers."

"You dare discuss Shinto in front of me?"

He suddenly opened his arms wide.

The black mist behind them surged wildly.

It transformed into countless black tentacles.

It connects to every corner of the main hall.

"Look at this city of Fengzhou!"

"Look at these hundreds of thousands of people!"

"Their lives or deaths."

"It's all up to me!"

"If I want them to live."

"They are my people."

"If I want them to die..."

"They are my nourishment!"

"This is God!"

"The power of life and death."

"I am the only one who matters!"

"Your so-called way of protection."

"In this chaotic world."

"It's nothing but a joke!"

"fart!"

Ma Ling'er couldn't listen anymore.

He brandished his demon-subduing staff and cursed loudly:

"You perverted bastard!"

"Are you crazy for wanting to be a god?"

"They still have the power of life and death."

"I think you're looking for death!"

"Old Zhou!"

"Don't listen to his nonsense!"

"That bastard is just stalling for time!"

"Get him!"

Zhou Yuan knew, of course, that Lin Xuan was trying to win him over psychologically.

But he also had to admit it.

Lin Xuan's current power.

It's ridiculously strong.

"Since you are the Ghost Earth God."

"Then I'll show you."

"What is the true power of the earth!"

Zhou Yuan's eyes narrowed.

No longer retained.

He pressed both hands down sharply.

His feet were like tree roots.

It was firmly embedded in the ground.

"A decree from the Earth God!"

"Earth's veins—hear my command!"

"rise!"

He wanted to activate the earth's energy beneath the City God Temple.

Even if this place is tainted by evil spirits.

As long as it remains on earth.

Theoretically, it falls within his jurisdiction.

As long as it can trigger the earth's veins to turn things around.

That would instantly destroy the blood pool formation!

however.

A second passed.

Two seconds passed.

On Zhou Yuan's forehead.

Veins bulging.

Sweat poured down like rain.

but.

The earth beneath my feet.

But there was only deathly silence.

even.

Not only did they not respond to his call.

Instead, a tremendous force of recoil was generated.

hum!

Zhou Yuan felt a numbness in both legs.

He was so shocked that he took three steps back.

His face turned deathly pale instantly.

"What happened?"

"The ley lines... are not reacting?"

Zhou Yuan was greatly alarmed.

This is since he became the god of the land.

This is the first time I've encountered this situation.

Earth.

She actually rejected him!

"Hehehe..."

On the high platform.

Then came Lin Xuan's mocking laughter.

"What's wrong?"

"It's not working anymore?"

"Doesn't it seem strange?"

"Why your 'ley line teleportation'?"

"It's not working here?"

Lin Xuan extended one finger.

He gently tapped the ground.

All that could be seen was the originally hard stone slab ground.

Suddenly, it rippled like water.

It turned into a pitch-black swamp.

"madness."

"The earth's veins beneath this City God Temple."

"It's already under my control."

"For this day."

"It took me a full ten years."

"Watered with human blood."

"Use the remains to fill the burial site."

"Every inch of this land."

"I've already refined them all into 'Yin Earth'!"

"Here."

"My words."

"That is the absolute decree!"

"rise!"

With a low shout from Lin Xuan.

The ground beneath Zhou Yuan's feet.

Suddenly, countless cracks appeared.

Ghostly hands made of black mud.

It suddenly stretched out.

He grabbed Zhou Yuan's ankle.

"Damn it!"

Zhou Yuan was greatly alarmed.

Wanting to break free.

But they discovered that those ghostly hands were incredibly strong.

And it continues to spread upwards.

They tried to drag him entirely underground.

"Old Zhou!"

Ma Ling'er saw this.

He rushed over to help.

"Don't come any closer!"

Zhou Yuan roared.

The blue lamp in his hand flickered.

"Azure Netherfire!"

call!

A ball of dark blue flame.

It flew out of the wick.

It instantly covered his legs.

sizzle-

A sickeningly hot burning sound rang out.

Those black mud demon hands.

Under the scorching heat of the Azure Netherfire.

Puffs of black smoke billowed out.

It screamed and shrank back underground.

Zhou Yuan seized the opportunity to leap into the air.

It landed next to Ma Ling'er.

He was panting heavily.

Looking at those pairs of hands, even though they were charred.

The ghostly hand is still waving unwillingly in the crack in the ground.

Zhou Yuan's heart.

It sank to the bottom of the valley.

Home advantage.

Gone.

As a land god.

It has lost the support of the earth.

It's like a fish out of water.

He is highly skilled.

It's at least half ruined!

"Is this the world you're trying to build?"

Zhou Yuan looked at the ghostly hands crawling all over the ground.

Looking at the blood-stained, twisted hall.

His eyes were filled with disgust.

"Turning the world into a purgatory."

"Turning the living into vengeful ghosts."

"You call this Shinto?"

"You're creating hell!"

"That's right!"

Lin Xuan admitted it without any hesitation.

A hint of fanaticism even appeared on his face.

"It's hell!"

"This vast world."

"It's completely rotten!"

"The divine way is declining."

"Evil spirits are rampant."

"Humanity is weak."

"The imperial court is incompetent."

"Rather than just lingering on like this..."

"It's better to destroy them completely!"

"I want to break through the Abyss of Nothingness."

"Welcome the arrival of Lord Nether Dragon."

"Starting from Fengzhou City."

"To build a completely new and perfect one."

"The Underworld Dynasty!"

"At that time."

"There is no birth, aging, sickness and death."

"There is no hunger or poverty."

"Everyone."

"They will all be in eternal death."

"Attain bliss!"

"madman!"

Ma Ling'er couldn't help but shiver.

This is Lin Xuan's thought.

It's completely distorted.

He's an absolutely inhuman madman!

"Let's do it!"

"We can't let him spout any more nonsense!"

"This formation is still absorbing the living souls outside!"

Zhou Yuan sensed it keenly.

Over time.

Lin Xuan's aura continued to rise.

If we don't stop him...

Once he has fully integrated with that evil god's power.

That would really be the end!

"superior!"

Ma Ling'er was no slouch either.

With a flick of the wrist.

A handful of yellow talismans appeared in his hand.

"Heaven and Earth are boundless!"

"Borrowing the power of heaven and earth!"

"Thunderstruck me!"

"go!"

Swish swish!

More than a dozen thunder talismans transformed into streaks of golden light.

They headed straight for Lin Xuan.

at the same time.

Zhou Yuan also moved.

Although the support of the earth's veins has been lost.

But he also wrote "Strange Tales of Gods and Monsters".

And that supernatural power honed through life-or-death battles!

"The Blue Ghost Lamp!"

"Invite the soul!"

Zhou Yuan raised the Azure Lamp high in his hand.

The flame in the wick.

A sudden surge.

It transformed into a blue fire dragon.

It roared and charged towards Lin Xuan.

"A trivial skill."

Facing an attack from both of them.

Lin Xuan remained calm and composed.

He didn't even bother to dodge.

He simply waved his sleeve lightly.

"The Realm of Evil Gods—"

"open!"

Om-!

An invisible fluctuation.

Instantly, Lin Xuan became the center.

It spread outwards.

This moment.

Time seemed to slow down.

The thunder talisman thrown by Ma Ling'er.

In mid-air, it became as slow as a snail.

The lightning above also quickly dimmed.

It felt like being swallowed up by something.

Zhou Yuan's blue fire dragon.

It even let out a mournful cry.

The once majestic dragon body.

It started to crumble inch by inch.

They transformed back into tiny, faint flames.

It dissipated into the air.

"This is……"

Zhou Yuan felt his body sink.

A thick, cold, and malicious aura filled the air.

It penetrated into every pore of his body.

This feeling.

It was like falling into a quagmire filled with rotting corpses.

Not only did their movements become sluggish.

Even my thoughts started to become blurred.

Various eerie whispers kept coming from my ears.

It tempts him to give up resistance.

They were trying to persuade him to join in this great death.

"not good!"

"This is a psychological attack!"

"Keep your mind focused!"

Zhou Yuan roared.

The Book of Strange Things in the Sea of ​​Consciousness.

Vibrating violently.

It emitted concentric golden ripples.

Get rid of those evil thoughts that creep into your mind.

Slaughter them all.

"A spell to soothe the soul!"

Zhou Yuan muttered something under his breath.

A series of obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations.

It came out of his mouth.

They transformed into golden runes.

They surrounded him and Ma Ling'er.

It formed a golden protective shield.

sizzle-

That black realm of the evil god.

It collided with the golden protective shield of the Soul-Soothing Spell.

It made a sound like boiling oil being poured onto snow.

Thick black smoke billowed out.

Although it temporarily blocked the invasion of evil energy.

But Zhou Yuan's expression...

But it's getting uglier and uglier.

"no."

"The consumption is too great."

"The level of this evil god's domain is too high."

"My Requiem."

"It won't last long!"

Just then.

The little paper figure that was always perched on Ma Ling'er's shoulder.

It suddenly burst into flames.

Ma Ling'er's expression changed.

"not good!"

"The amulet my second uncle gave me is broken!"

She felt a chill.

It travels straight up the spine to the top of the head.

My body stiffened instantly.

It's difficult to even move a single finger.

"What kind of crappy domain is this?"

"That's outrageous!"

Ma Ling'er was sweating profusely with anxiety.

The black energy was about to break through the defenses.

He penetrated her body.

"Awooo—!!!"

A deafening roar.

Suddenly, a sound rang out behind the two of them.

Followed by.

A violent and incomparably demonic aura.

It soared into the sky.

They actually managed to forcefully destroy that evil god's domain.

A gash has been torn open!

"Get out!"

Ma Ling'er turned around in surprise.

There it was, the giant panda.

It has completely changed now.

Its original adorable appearance is gone.

Instead.

It was a terrifying behemoth that was over five meters tall!

His muscles bulged like rocks all over his body.

Black and white hair.

It stands upright like a steel needle.

Those originally innocent little eyes.

At this moment, however, it was burning with a fierce, crimson light.

This is the true ancient mythical beast.

The true face of the iron-eating beast!

The mount of Chi You, the God of War!

"roar!"

Rolling roared angrily.

The huge bear paw slammed onto the ground.

Boom!

The entire hall trembled violently.

That hard stone floor.

It was blasted into a huge crater.

Taking advantage of this moment.

It shot out like a cannonball.

Ignoring the viscous area.

He lunged directly at Lin Xuan on the high platform.

"Um?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes.

"An ancient species?"

"That's quite interesting."

"pity."

"He's still a beast!"

Facing the oncoming swarms of swarms.

Lin Xuan stretched out that ghostly hand.

A strange symbol was drawn in the void.

"bundle!"

Splash!

Countless black chains.

It appeared out of thin air.

Like a venomous snake, it coiled around the rolling hills.

"Cut it off!"

Ma Ling'er saw this.

They didn't even care about their physical discomfort.

Forcibly activating magical power.

"Please let a spirit possess me!"

"Man and bear as one!"

hum!

A beam of red light shot out from Ma Ling'er's body.

It disappeared into the rolling body.

Gun Gun's aura surged once again.

On that huge bear paw.

It even developed a metallic sheen.

Click!Click!

Those black chains that had wrapped around us.

Under the overwhelming force of the monster.

It was actually torn in half!

"Well done!"

"Smash him flat!"

Ma Ling'er excitedly waved her fist.

It was as if she had been the one who slapped him.

The momentum of the surge shows no signs of abating.

Those bear paws, as big as palm fans.

It possesses the power to split mountains and shatter rocks.

He slapped Lin Xuan hard on the head.

If that slap lands solidly...

Even if he's an iron man.

They'd be smashed into a discus!

however.

Just as the bear's paw was about to touch Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan's figure.

It suddenly became blurry.

It's like a reflection in the water.

It looked like it had been broken by a pebble.

call--

A powerful, rolling palm strike.

It passed directly through Lin Xuan's body.

It was slapped onto the high platform behind the statue.

Rumble!

That towering platform of the statue that has stood for a century.

Under the force of Rolling Roll's palm strike.

It collapsed instantly.

Gravel flew everywhere.

Dust flew everywhere.

Along with the golden statue of the City God above.

They were all turned into dust.

"Afterimage?"

Ma Ling'er was taken aback.

"wrong!"

Zhou Yuan, however, saw it clearly.

That instant.

Lin Xuan did not dodge.

He directly used his own body.

It's blurred!

That kind of blurring.

It is not the ethereal form of an ordinary ghost.

It is a more advanced form of spatial transformation.

It's as if he hid himself in another dimension.

"Hehehe..."

Lin Xuan's laughter.

The sounds came from all directions of the main hall.

Sometimes left, sometimes right.

Unpredictable.

"Not bad strength."

"pity."

"Can't hit it."

next second.

Lin Xuan's figure.

It appeared behind the rolling thing like a ghost.

That ghostly claw.

It instantly grew three feet taller.

It carried a sharp, eerie wind.

It viciously grabbed at the back of the rolling ball.

"Be careful!"

Zhou Yuan roared.

He suddenly threw the blue ghost lamp in his hand.

"go!"

clang!

The blue lamp traced an arc in mid-air.

It ran right into Lin Xuan's ghostly claw.

Although it couldn't completely block it.

But it also caused the ghost claw to veer slightly off course.

stab-

The ghostly claw grazed the rolling back.

On its hard, iron-like fur.

Three deep, bone-revealing bloodstains were left behind.

"Aww!"

Rolling around in pain.

He roared.

It turned around and swung its claw.

But Lin Xuan had already disappeared again.

"Damn it!"

"This guy's as slippery as an eel!"

Ma Ling'er was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet.

"Physical attacks don't seem to work on him!"

Zhou Yuan retrieved the Azure Lamp.

Looking at the deep scratches on the lamp.

A chill ran through me.

This Azure Lamp is a treasure produced by the system.

He was almost crippled by Lin Xuan's claw.

This damn land's attack power.

It's absolutely outrageous.

"It's not useless."

Zhou Yuan squinted.

The scene from just now kept replaying in my mind.

"When the rolling attack happened just now."

"His body has become ethereal."

"But I saw..."

Zhou Yuan's gaze.

They locked onto Lin Xuan, who had reappeared in the air.

Especially the area where half human face and half ghost face meet.

Just a moment ago.

When the rolling bear paw passed through Lin Xuan's body.

Zhou Yuan keenly noticed it.

On that border line.

A very faint trace appeared...

crack!

It's like a piece of porcelain that wasn't pieced together perfectly.

Under violent shaking.

A gap was revealed.

"I see!"

A glint of light flashed in Zhou Yuan's eyes.

A sudden inspiration struck me.

"His fusion."

"It's not finished!"

"That demonic avatar is powerful."

"But it is, after all, an external force."

"His soul."

"That is, that half of a human face."

"We haven't fully adapted to the power of this evil god yet!"

"So he's switching between reality and illusion."

"There will be a momentary delay and rejection!"

That's the flaw!

Although this flaw only lasted for a fraction of a second.

Although this flaw is extremely minor.

But for them now...

This is the only chance!

"Ma Ling'er!"

Zhou Yuan suddenly shouted.

His voice was filled with determination.

"Let the puffballs keep attacking!"

"Don't stop!"

"We'll shoot even if it's just air!"

"I'm going to give him no time to breathe!"

Although Ma Ling'er didn't know what Zhou Yuan wanted to do.

But it stemmed from absolute trust in his companions.

She didn't hesitate at all.

"Get out!"

"Did you hear me!"

"Tear down this temple!"

"Force him to come out!"

"Awoo!"

Although Gun Gun was injured.

But this also fully unleashed its ferocity.

It roared and charged forward again.

Like a bulldozer.

It rampaged through the main hall.

Remove those demonized statues, pillars, and walls.

Everything was smashed to pieces.

This forced Lin Xuan to frequently switch between reality and illusion to evade.

And Zhou Yuan.

Then stand still.

Not moving at all.

He closed his eyes.

All the power of the soul.

All of them retracted back into the sea of ​​consciousness.

It was incorporated into that book, "Strange Tales of Gods and Monsters".

He is waiting.

Waiting for that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Lin Xuan".

"Didn't you want my soul?"

"it is good."

"I'll show you."

"Whose soul is it, exactly?"

"Harder!"

Zhou Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.

Originally, his pupils were pitch black.

It had now turned into a pure gold color.

"Since your physical body cannot be destroyed."

"Then I'll..."

"I'll sever your soul!"

This moment.

Zhou Yuan abandoned all defenses.

All the bets.

All their hopes were pinned on this one strike.

Either kill with a single blow.

Or not?

Soul fly away!
