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

"Tales of the Supernatural!"

"Give me……"

"Full power!!!"

With Zhou Yuan's hysterical roar.

He felt as if his soul was burning.

That mysterious ancient book that had been dormant deep within his consciousness.

At this moment, it seemed to sense its master's madness.

It began to tremble violently.

Splash!

The sound of pages turning.

It's no longer an auditory hallucination in my mind.

It resounded truly and vividly throughout this blood-soaked cave.

An ancient, desolate, yet supremely majestic aura emanated from it.

It burst forth from between Zhou Yuan's eyebrows.

That aura.

It does not belong to the divine way.

It does not belong to the path of immortality.

It's more like something that transcends the rules of this world...

overbearing!

"What is this thing?!"

Lin Xuan, who was originally confident of victory.

The maniacal laughter on his face froze instantly.

He sensed a threat.

A threat that made even a "demigod" like him tremble with fear.

"Playing tricks!"

"Might makes right!"

"Die!"

Lin Xuan forced down his fear.

Hands clasped together.

That terrifying blade that combined the features of a sacrificial knife and a scimitar.

It carried a world-destroying power.

Fall faster!

The blade has not yet arrived.

That sharp aura.

It had already carved a deep trench into the rock wall behind Zhou Yuan.

however.

Zhou Yuan did not dodge.

His eyes had now turned into an eerie black and white.

His left eye shone like the sun.

His right eye was like a dark, gloomy moon.

He stared intently at the black "umbilical cord" connecting Lin Xuan's head to the void.

That is the source of energy.

This is also Lin Xuan's greatest reliance at this moment.

"I saw it in the deduction..."

Zhou Yuan's voice became ethereal and indifferent.

"Your power is increasing."

"Because you are accelerating the extraction of the soul of the City God of Pingyang County."

"You are accelerating the sacrifice of this entire city's people."

"You want to achieve your goal in one fell swoop."

"Breaking directly through the shackles of heaven and earth."

"Sit on the throne of the county god!"

Zhou Yuan's words.

It's like a sharp knife.

It accurately dissected Lin Xuan's scheme.

Lin Xuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

"So what if you see through it all?"

"The ritual is irreversible!"

"I've already devoured half of Zhang Zhengming's soul!"

"Me now."

"He's practically half a county god!"

"Within the territory of Pingyang."

"My word is law!"

boom!

Lin Xuan's aura surged once again.

The black energy tube writhed wildly.

It was as if they were swallowing evil energy from the void.

The walking corpses kneeling on the ground all around.

Suddenly, they all let out a piercing scream.

Their bodies instantly shrank.

All the essence, blood, and soul.

All of these were forcibly removed at this moment.

They converged towards the center of the altar.

"not good!"

"He's forcibly ending it!"

Zhou Yuan was extremely anxious.

If we're waiting for that final blow.

I'm afraid not only I will die.

Zhang Zhengming will also be completely annihilated.

At that time.

Pingyang County has truly become the ghost kingdom of the Wukong Sect!

"We can't delay any longer!"

"It must be a fatal blow!"

Zhou Yuan suddenly bit the tip of his tongue.

A mouthful of essence blood containing pure yang energy.

It was sprayed directly onto the Xiangting land seal in my hand.

"With my blood."

"We invite you for a day trip!"

"The primordial energy of heaven and earth."

"Hear my command!"

hum!

The underground cave was originally dark and gloomy.

Suddenly, a blinding white light appeared.

That wasn't firelight.

That was the pure, boundless energy of heaven and earth!

Zhou Yuan was just a minor local deity.

But he practiced the "Strange Tales of Gods and Monsters".

However, it allows him to utilize higher-level supernatural powers.

now.

He used his own essence and blood as a catalyst.

It forcibly mobilized the vital energy of heaven and earth within a radius of ten miles.

Even this is a dark and dangerous place buried deep underground.

Even that couldn't stop the permeation of this righteous spirit.

Whoohoo!

Countless points of light emerged from the cracks in the rocks.

They gathered in front of Zhou Yuan.

In the blink of an eye.

It transformed into a massive rune the size of a millstone.

On the runes.

Golden light shimmered.

A faint blue lamp could be seen flickering within.

Furthermore, obscure and difficult-to-understand scriptures surrounded them.

"That is..."

"A combination of the Blue Ghost Lamp and the Soul-Soothing Incantation?!"

Ma Ling'er, standing in the distance, stared wide-eyed.

He looked completely incredulous.

To combine two completely different supernatural powers.

What kind of amazing move is this?

Aren't you afraid it will explode?

"Lin Xuan!"

"You want a divine position?"

"I'll send you to your death today!"

Zhou Yuan held the enormous divine light rune in his hands.

At this moment, he...

It's like a golden-armored war god holding up the sun.

"go!"

A loud shout.

Zhou Yuan used all his strength.

He forcefully pushed the divine light rune out.

boom!

The rune left his hand.

It transformed into a stream of light that pierced through heaven and earth.

Its target was not Lin Xuan's body.

Instead, it was the black sacrificial knife in Lin Xuan's hand!

That's the core of the ritual!

It is also the nexus of Lin Xuan's power!

"Damn it!"

"You want to destroy my divine artifact?!"

Lin Xuan finally panicked.

He could sense the terrifying purifying power contained within that divine light rune.

That is a nemesis specifically designed to subdue all evil and malevolent forces.

Normally.

He might still be able to withstand it thanks to his profound cultivation.

But now is the most crucial moment of the ceremony.

If the sacrificial knife is destroyed.

All the backlash will fall on him!

"Block them!"

Lin Xuan had no time to attack Zhou Yuan.

He quickly withdrew the curved blade.

They wanted to intercept the divine light rune in mid-air.

Simultaneously.

The enormous, malevolent shadow behind him.

It also opened its mouth wide.

He wanted to swallow that ball of light whole.

"Trying to stop me?"

"Did they ask us?!"

Just then.

A wild voice rang out.

Suddenly, Ma Ling'er had rushed to the edge of the altar.

She was covered in blood.

The peach wood sword in his hand was already broken in half.

But her eyes were fierce, like those of a mother wolf protecting her cubs.

"Get out!"

"Give him a hug, Grandma!"

"I'll hold on to you even if it kills me!"

"Awooo—!!!"

A deafening roar.

That iron-eating beast that was just lying in the pit groaning and moaning.

He actually stood up again at that moment.

Its black and white fur was completely stained red with blood.

One eye was so swollen that it was barely a slit.

But upon hearing the master's command...

Its massive body suddenly burst forth with astonishing speed.

Like a cannonball fired from a gun.

It smashed right through the evil corpse blocking its path.

Boom!

Rolling on, it disregarded the corrosive influence of the pervasive evil energy.

It spread its thick, bear-like arms.

She hugged Lin Xuan's legs tightly!

"What?!"

Lin Xuan felt his feet sink.

I looked down.

There, the silly bear was clinging tightly to his leg.

It opened its blood-red maw.

He took a bite out of his own thigh!

Click!

Even with magical runes protecting him.

Lin Xuan also felt excruciating pain from the bite.

"Get out of here!!"

"brute!"

Lin Xuan was furious.

He had to divert some of his strength from the curved sword in his hand.

It stabbed fiercely into the back of the rolling creature.

puff!

The sharp blade pierced the flesh.

Blood spurted wildly.

"Awooo..."

Rolling around was in so much pain that his whole body was convulsing.

But it was as determined as a turtle eating a weight.

They refused to admit it, even at the cost of their lives.

Instead, it bit even harder!

"Now!"

"Joo Won!"

"Get him!!!"

Ma Ling'er also risked her life at this moment.

She bit her fingertip until it bled.

A blood-red talisman was drawn in the void.

"The Ma Family's Divine Dragon!"

"Slay the evil!"

Although they didn't actually summon the dragon.

But there was also a golden, dragon-shaped phantom.

It roared and charged towards the demonic hand that Lin Xuan was trying to defend.

boom!

Lin Xuan's defense.

In that instant, a fatal gap appeared.

"Well done!"

A sharp glint flashed in Zhou Yuan's eyes.

That divine light rune.

They seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

It's like a precision-guided missile.

They passed through Lin Xuan's defensive perimeter without any hindrance.

They collided violently.

Rumble—!!!

A deafening roar.

It exploded in the underground cavern.

A blinding white light instantly engulfed everything.

It's like a sun rising from the ground.

"Aaaaaahh ...

Lin Xuan let out an extremely shrill scream.

All that could be seen was the black sacrificial knife, which had been fused with countless wronged souls.

Under the impact of the divine light runes.

It actually cracked inch by inch!

"No--!!!"

"My magic weapon!"

"My seat of the City God!"

Lin Xuan has gone mad.

He watched helplessly as the sacrificial knife shattered.

Watching the almost-completed ceremony being interrupted.

The life force that had been continuously flowing into his body.

It went out of control in an instant.

The backlash has begun to spread wildly!

puff!puff!puff!

The demonic runes on Lin Xuan's body were like living things.

They started exploding one after another.

It exploded, releasing clumps of foul-smelling black blood.

"Cough cough..."

In the center of the altar.

Zhang Zhengming's soul, which had originally been nailed to the ground.

They finally got a chance to catch their breath.

Although still weak.

But the golden light in his eyes shone again.

"evil creature……"

"The way of Heaven...what a cycle of reincarnation..."

Zhang Zhengming used his last bit of divine strength.

It protected the souls of the common people who had not yet been completely refined.

"Zhou Yuan..."

"Chance……"

Hearing this weak call.

Zhou Yuan didn't hesitate any longer.

Take advantage of your illness.

I'll kill you!

He endured the excruciating pain of his body's energy being depleted.

Take a step forward.

They rushed straight onto the crumbling altar of bones.

"Lin Xuan!"

"Have you woken up from your sweet dream?!"

Zhou Yuan leaped high into the air.

The land seal of the village in my hand.

Carrying the last trace of the weight of this land.

It slammed hard onto Lin Xuan's crown!

"Xiangting Land!"

"Imperial Decree: Suppress!"

Boom!

This time.

Solid and solid.

Lin Xuan was hit so hard that he saw stars.

He knelt down directly on the altar.

That scarlet robe.

They were all shaken and shattered.

"You can't kill me!"

"I am the Immortal Wukong!"

"I have the protection of my ancestor!"

Lin Xuan's hair was disheveled.

His face was covered in blood.

In those purple eyes.

It still flickers with madness and resentment.

He was still struggling.

The evil energy within my body is still churning.

They wanted to break through Zhou Yuan's suppression.

"Ancestor?"

"Then I'll take care of your ancestors too!"

Zhou Yuan sneered.

He no longer used ordinary Taoist techniques.

Instead, he placed his left hand directly on Lin Xuan's forehead.

There.

It was precisely where the black lotus mark was located.

It is also the place where that void umbilical cord connects.

"Soul Suppression!"

hum!

Zhou Yuan's divine soul power poured into Lin Xuan's sea of ​​consciousness without reservation.

He firmly suppressed his chaotic and frantic consciousness.

Make him unable to move.

Followed by.

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath.

A soul-stirring cry rang out in my heart:

"Tales of the Supernatural!"

"Initiate the sacrifice!"

"Target: Lin Xuan!"

"as well as……"

"This entire descent of the evil god ritual!!!"

boom!

As Zhou Yuan issued his instructions.

A black gash suddenly appeared on his palm.

No.

That's not a wound.

That's the book's "mouth"!

An indescribable, terrifying suction force.

It suddenly burst forth from that black crack.

This suction force.

It does not absorb soil or rocks.

It does not draw in air.

Specifically designed for spirits, evil spirits, and... divinity!

"What...what is this?!"

Lin Xuan, who was still struggling frantically.

At this moment, their true fear was finally revealed.

He sensed it.

The power within oneself.

One's own soul.

Even the power of the evil god transmitted from the void.

They are all being frantically plundered by this suction force!

It's like encountering a natural enemy.

They encountered an apex predator!

"No!"

"don't want!"

"Let me go!"

Lin Xuan tried desperately to push Zhou Yuan's hand away.

But he was horrified to discover...

My body has started to decompose!

First, there was that sinister aura about him.

It turned into billowing black smoke and was sucked into Zhou Yuan's palm.

Next came his flesh and blood.

It actually turned into tiny red spots of light.

It drifted uncontrollably toward the black crack.

"Help me..."

"Grandpa, save me!!!"

Lin Xuan roared desperately at the void.

The black umbilical cord connected to the top of his head.

At this moment, not only was no energy being supplied to him.

Instead, it was used as a straw by "Strange Tales of the Gods and Monsters".

They began frantically drawing power from the other end of the so-called "Void Abyss"!

Buzz!

The void trembled.

That evil will from a higher dimension seemed to have sensed something was wrong.

A surge of rage traveled through the pipes.

I want to disconnect.

"Trying to run away?"

"Too late!"

"Since you're here, leave some money as a toll!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Zhou Yuan's eyes.

"Strange Tales of Gods and Monsters" is running at full capacity.

The suction power increased tenfold instantly!

Boo!

A soft sound.

That black energy pipe.

It was actually torn off in half!

That segment of pure high-dimensional evil energy.

Along with Lin Xuan's broken body.

It was instantly devoured by Zhou Yuan's palm!

"ah----!!!"

Lin Xuan let out the last scream in this world.

Then.

Stopped abruptly.

whole person.

It has completely disappeared.

It's as if it never existed.

All that remained was a tattered red robe.

It landed lightly on the altar of bones.

Quiet.

A deathly silence.

Inside the cave.

The air was thick with the scent of blood.

That roaring, malevolent shadow.

That terrifying pressure.

At this moment.

Everything vanished without a trace.

There was only Zhou Yuan.

It stood alone at the top of the altar.

He was panting heavily.

His face was as pale as paper.

His body was swaying precariously.

But the light in his eyes.

But it was brighter than ever before.

because.

In his mind.

That mysterious book, "Strange Tales of Gods and Monsters".

It was flashing with golden and red light wildly.

Splash!

A new page.

Slowly turn the pages.

The painting prominently depicts a strange Taoist priest dressed in a red robe with a lotus flower blooming between his eyebrows.

Beside it were rows of large, bold characters:

[Sacrifice successful!]

[Target: Lin Xuan (Demigod Avatar), True Man of the Wukong Sect]

[Unlock the character: Wukong the Heretic!]

[Reward Received:]

[I. Five hundred years of pure Yin energy! (Can be used for divination and cultivation)]

[II. Special Supernatural Power: Divinity Stripping!]

[Divinity Stripping: This ability can forcibly strip away fragments of divinity or the power of incense offerings from false gods and evil spirits, and convert them for one's own use!]

Looking at these lines of handwriting.

Zhou Yuan's chapped lips.

Finally, it couldn't help but rise slightly.

This wave.

Make big!
