Volume 1: Baiyujing of the Tang Dynasty Chapter 677: The Usurper
"Finally recognized me?" Luo Chuan did not open his eyes.
"Humph, I knew you could not lose." The little bastard said shyly. He knew Luo Chuan's tone of voice very well. Although he cried for a while in the forbidden area, he soon noticed it.
"By the way, where is this place? Why are there so many dead spirits of the strongest? So many giant bones and corpses... Tell me quickly!"
The Holy Ape Spirit, the Little Spider and the Fatty also rolled to the front of the cave entrance and looked into the distance, all stunned.
Luo Chuan's breath has reached the peak of the third level of Return to Void, and he is only one step away from the fourth level of Return to Void. He opened his eyes and looked into the distance outside the cave, but did not answer: "You guys, be careful. You are not allowed to leave this cave."
After speaking, Luo Chuan continued to close his eyes and absorbed the spiritual energy in the forbidden area on the other side with all his strength.
As he expected, after breaking through the third level of Return to Void, the Nine Deaths and One Life Gong did not stop, urging him to continue to move towards the fourth level of Return to Void.
"The way of the upper world is like a chessboard, with each grid representing a realm, and the cultivators are like ants, slowly crawling in the grids... The Nine Deaths and One Life Skill can indeed break the shackles of this era, and all it takes is sufficient resources."
Luo Chuan was in high spirits, and immersed in his practice wholeheartedly. He did not notice that in front of the cave, the four children gathered together and chattered for a while, and then carefully slipped out along the outer edge of the cave.
Time passed by bit by bit, and Luo Chuan's figure began to become empty.
From existence to emptiness, from emptiness to nothingness, and then from nothingness to existence, three states began to appear on Luo Chuan's body, each of which was unstable, and after lasting for a stick of incense, it transformed into another state.
Half an hour, an hour...After two hours, Luo Chuan only felt that his body was almost saturated. However, he was still a step away from the fourth level of returning to emptiness.
Boom!
A thunderclap sounded in the sky, and in a blink of an eye, dark clouds with purple light quickly gathered and rushed towards the cave where Luo Chuan was. In the thundercloud storm, there was a rich yin and yang energy. The yin and yang energies swirled and entangled, and two phantoms appeared faintly, one male and one female, one yang and one yin, wrapped in black robes, half naked. The shadow of the eyes was gloomy, and there was no human spirit in the eyes. The eyes were unfocused, as if they were foreign objects without consciousness and life.
"Thunder Tribulation Lord?"
Luo Chuan could feel the terrifying pressure without opening his eyes.
Just like the previous breakthrough, the two Thunder Tribulation Lords came in person, but compared with the last time. This time, the thunder tribulation was obviously much more violent, hundreds of times stronger! Not only because of the different levels of breakthrough, but also because of the superposition of the two thunder tribulations of the third and fourth levels of Return to Void. When Luo Chuan broke through the third level of Return to Void in the forbidden area, there was no thunder tribulation. The thunder tribulation that should have occurred was blocked outside because of the existence of the guarding array.
"Come on."
Luo Chuan opened his eyes, the depths of his pupils were empty and chaotic, and his hands were clasped together. One hand pointed to the sky and the other to the ground.
Boom!
The thunder tribulation poured down and brushed towards Luo Chuan.
The cave was razed to the ground by the thunder, and a circle of blurred light appeared on Luo Chuan's body, wrapping him like an eggshell. In an instant, the thunderbolt broke through the "eggshell" and hit Luo Chuan's body heavily.
Luo Chuan's body trembled violently, and he gritted his teeth and tried his best to resist the thunderbolt.
In another instant, the thunderbolt tore through Luo Chuan's body defense and penetrated into Luo Chuan's body.
Luo Chuan was shocked, and he finally realized that this thunderbolt was more violent than he expected, and it was definitely not something he could bear now.
"What's going on!"
Luo Chuan knew what was wrong, but under the bombardment of thunder. His consciousness had already hallucinated and became blurred and unreal. The three secret realms, Huangting, Lingtai and Tianmen, were still resisting the attack of thunder, but the rest of the body had fallen.
Soon, the three secret realms also fell under the attack of thunder.
Buzz!
Luo Chuan only felt a shock in his head, and his consciousness suddenly became clear.
"Life and death are always at their extremes, only then can new medicines be conceived, great medicines become great ways, and three turns establish the supreme... The eighth turn of the Nine Deaths and One Life Skill has not yet ended, this is the real limit!"
The breath of death fell from the sky and appeared in every trace of thunder tribulation.
At the same time, a brand new breath was brewing from deep inside Luo Chuan's body.
Boom!
Another loud noise! The power of thunder surged!
A crack slowly appeared in the center of the thundercloud, as if the eye of heaven had opened, and a more majestic and fierce thunder fell in an instant!
The young man on the ruins of the cave was already shaky, his skin was as brittle as tin foil, his bones were trembling, and he was on the verge of his limit. The last thunder fell from the sky, carrying a strong breath of death, and washed towards the young man.
The next moment, the young monk was crushed into powder and drifted away with the wind.
The thunder tribulation dissipated, and the dark clouds on the top of the sky slowly dissipated.
The two thunder tribulation masters looked at each other and smiled with satisfaction.
"Killed another one. I remember this is the second time I came to find him." Lei Jie Yang Jun on the left said expressionlessly.
"This boy can break through the level, although it is only two levels, but it seems that it is not his limit. Speaking of which, there are more and more cultivators who have comprehended the true meaning of Tao and can break through the level in recent years. There are an average of ten cultivators in the entire Nine Heavens every year." Lei Jie Yin Jun's eyes flickered, and he whispered: "It's only been a few years, is the next chaotic world coming again?"
"It's hard to say, didn't the saints predict that the last disaster star in the chaotic world of Tao, the terrifying white-haired demon king, he didn't really die. Although his luck has completely ended, the chaotic world of fighting he opened is just a prelude. What comes next is the real chaotic world."
"Maybe. Who will start this round of chaos? Since he has to defeat the White-haired Demon Lord, there must be more than one evil star."
"Or maybe there is another evil star who is stronger than the White-haired Demon Lord... That's all. These are headaches for the saints. We should continue to find the usurpers and kill them. This is our mission."
In the air, two mysterious and powerful figures, one yin and one yang, slowly disappeared.
The strong wind was filled with the evil spirit of the underworld, blowing through the ruins of the cave.
Although the ruins of the cave were smashed to pieces by thunder, the bones in the cave were intact. Occasionally, they were broken, but they were not seriously damaged.
Three incense sticks after the Lord of Thunder Tribulation left, dust-like light spots flew up from under the bones. As if they had their own consciousness, they gathered from all directions to one place, gradually gathering into an ethereal human figure, just like a man nine and a half feet tall!
The phantom sat cross-legged in the air, constantly pinching the seal in his hands. A mysterious aura flowed out from the shadow, revealing the breath of new life. Not long after, the shadow disappeared, without even a trace of breath, as if it had completely disappeared from this space.
After another incense stick, a "door" appeared in the air above the ruins.
A leg stepped out of the "door", and then a nine-foot-tall "chi luo" man walked out.
He didn't look much special, his skin was not shiny, his eyes were not bright, and his eyebrows were even more plain, but when he slowly raised his head. A majestic and powerful power poured out, and the white bones that resisted the thunder attack shook slightly in the power of the young man, and shattered into powder in an instant.
"Saint, this is the third time you want to kill me. Kong Kong and Tian Hai are right. In this era of the upper way, the biggest obstacle for us is you six people."
Luo Chuan had a blank expression on his face. He didn't see any movement, and a white cloth robe wrapped him.
At the last moment, Luo Chuan finally comprehended the true secret of the Extreme Void, and reversed the Nine Deaths and One Life Skill to dissipate the void, deceiving the two Thunder Tribulation Lords.
When things reach their extremes, they will turn back, and when the Tao reaches its extreme, it will be born.
Luo Chuan went from the void to nothing, and from nothing to life. After comprehending the secret of the Extreme Void, he naturally crossed the last threshold of the Return to Void Realm. He broke through the fourth level of the Return to Void in one fell swoop!
However, the process was extremely thrilling.
If it weren't for the critical moment when he used the eighth turn of the Nine Deaths and One Life Skill, Luo Chuan would probably have died at the hands of the Thunder Tribulation Lord.
"A usurper of the Tao... a person who usurps the Tao? Why? Why do you have the final say on the Tao?"
The past was like smoke and clouds, floating through Luo Chuan's mind.
In the past, in the Tiannan Region, in the Hongshan Swamp, Luo Chuan crossed the great realm to kill the demon cultivator. He comprehended the true meaning of the Tao and was also attacked by thunder. At that time, Luo Chuan didn't know the specific reason. It was not until today that he understood that the thunder tribulation in the world of Shang Dao had long been controlled by those six people. Whenever a usurper appeared, he would be hunted down by the master of thunder tribulation.
"Once in Hongshan Swamp, once in the alchemy room of Taoist Kongkong, and now it's the third time. Three times is the limit. After today, I will never give you any chances again."
"If you understand the true meaning of Dao, you can fight across the realms, which violates the rules you set. And breaking through multiple realms in a row at one time will destroy the rules of Shang Dao you set. These two types of people will be hunted down by you... So this is the real reason why Jiulong Jun and those talented heroes rose up to resist the universal saints."
"In this case... count me in."
Luo Chuan laughed, and the dark blood evil spirit above the chaotic land of the outer domain covered the sky, gray and covered the sky behind. But at this moment, Luo Chuan's eyes have fallen on the dark clouds, piercing through the sky, looking far into the endless depths of the sky.
The Shang Dao is endless.
Now, there are six people who claim to be saints, who have taken the upper way for themselves, obscuring the eyes of the public and taking away all opportunities.
Who would not want to kill those who are devoted to the Tao?
"Where did those four guys go again?"
Luo Chuan looked around but did not see the little turtle and the others. He stretched out his hand and sucked the jade box of the Nine Dragon Lord into the storage ring, and flew to a mountain not far away.
His body movement was twice as fast as before. He had reached the fourth level of the Return to Void and had reached the extreme of the Void. Nothing in the world could stop him.
In a blink of an eye, Luo Chuan climbed the black mountain.
The mountain was eighty feet high, not very high, but when Luo Chuan climbed the mountain and looked around, even though he was mentally prepared, his heartbeat still accelerated slightly.
As far as he could see, there was the remains of an ancient corpse that was ten thousand feet long, and the mountain he was standing on was a raised shoulder bone.
The ten thousand feet giant corpse had existed for who knows how many years, and was covered with lakes, forests and hills.
Under the gray sky, shrouded in the red evil spirit of the underworld, in this vast area full of death, lie corpses of various sizes. After thousands or nearly ten thousand years of sedimentation and weathering, they have long since merged with the landscape.
