Chapter 3721
Zhang Daoran's hands formed a seal and he waved his hand. A strange, black object flew out from his chest. It looked like a giant roc, but it was also very broken. "Poof …" Zhang Daoran opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of essence blood. "Ga …" The giant roc let out a long cry and extremely strange runes came out from its body. They turned into a red halo that surrounded the giant roc. "Rise …" Zhang Daoran let out a roar and his entire body became a hurricane. As the red halo shined, it also began to expand like crazy!
"Shua …" A giant wave came and a death aura mixed with blood rushed toward the roc. "Roar …" The magic treasure controlled by Zhang Daoran's Nascent Soul also let out a roar and a red halo appeared around its body. The shape of this halo was similar to the roc's. Countless halos appeared before Zhang Daoran and the Nascent Soul. When the blue water fell on the halos, it was immediately divided into dozens of small streams. However, within these small streams, the water of the underworld was still there!
Right at this moment, Zhang Daoran's Nascent Soul spat out azure light from its mouth, and the Infernal Glacial Ghost Gall Bladder that was in its hand instantly fell into the light. "Weng weng..." Violent vibrations erupted from the Infernal Glacial Ghost Gall Bladder, and a series of ghostly heads emerged from within with hair-thin translucent threads intertwined between them.
The Phantom Chill Ghost Gallbladder fell into the light and the Nascent Soul sucked. The Phantom Chill Ghost Gallbladder followed the light into the Nascent Soul's mouth!
The moment the Phantom Chill Ghost Gallbladder touched the Nascent Soul, Zhang Daoran's body flashed. Just like Xun Kong, Zhang Daoran cut off his own origin soul. However, Zhang Daoran's timing was clearly more mature than Xun Kong's. Aside from the pain on his face, there was also a hint of nervousness.
"Boom …" Icy flames mixed with the smell of blood emerged from the Nascent Soul's head and washed down the Nascent Soul's face.
"Go all out!!!"
Zhang Daoran's Dharma Body, which was almost a hundred feet tall, also urged his True Essence. He cast one strange spell after another. Wherever his magic power fell, the Yellow Spring water from the two magic treasure rings was drawn into the Nascent Soul. "Sizzle …" The Nascent Soul's spiritual body collapsed as soon as it touched the Yellow Spring water.
However, the icy flames and blood that fell from the Nascent Soul's head rushed over and fought with the water of the Yellow Springs!
"Phew …" Zhang Daoran heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. Then, he pointed at the two magic treasures again. Two eye-like cracks appeared on the back of the magic treasures, and two dark hurricanes emerged from them. The water of the underworld in the halo was instantly sucked in by the hurricanes!
Zhang Daoran sighed as he watched his Nascent Soul collapse and reform from time to time. The Ghostly Frigid Guts and the Water of the Underworld were locked in a tug-of-war. He endured the pain of his body being corroded by the Water of the Underworld and looked at the blurry array in the distance. He said in his heart, "Fellow Daoists, this old man … can only do this much. Before I die, I will buy as much time as I can. I hope you … can safely retreat …"
As the saying goes, when someone is sad, there will naturally be someone who is happy.
Just as the Water of the Underworld gushed out crazily, the runes in the water were chipped off layer by layer due to the array's attacks. The water of the Underworld dyed the water red, and the huge blood dragon roared and rushed towards Zhai Xing Zi. Zhai Xing Zi was shocked at first.
However, when the bloody aura and the unparalleled Qi of Death rushed into his Nascent Soul, the starlight around his Nascent Soul swelled like a lantern. A strange expression appeared on Zhai Xing Zi's face, as if he had seen the most inconceivable thing in the world. He actually cried out in a low voice, "Damn it, no wonder this old man felt that this place was very strange. It turns out that … the array here actually contains the Water of the Underworld!
I've searched for who knows how many years, and I actually found it here today!
Heavens!
Is this old man's luck finally here?
Or … did my luck change after I followed Xiao Hua? "
As Zhai Xing Zi laughed secretly, the Water of the Underworld had already rushed into the air. Zhai Xing Zi patted his head again. "Puff …" Several streams of True Energy spurted out. Amidst these streams of True Energy, a talisman half the size of a palm surged out like a moon surrounded by stars!
Although this talisman was only half a piece, it was densely covered with Star Runes. The Star Runes formed strange runes. As the streams of True Energy landed on it, strands of Star Runes flickered. Between these flickering Star Runes, there vaguely appeared stars of various sizes.
He then looked at Zhai Xingzi's other hand. He reached into his Qiankun Bag and took out a black, ancient magic tool. This magic tool had nine bends. Between the bends, there were crystals that emitted a strange light.
Zhai Xing Zi's Nascent Soul waved its hand. The Falling Star that had previously transformed into a Seven Star flew into the air, still in the shape of a Seven Star. Immediately, the Nascent Soul grabbed, and the Demonic Artifact fell into the Nascent Soul's hand, once again combining with the Seven Stars.
"Collect …" Zhai Xing Zi chanted an incantation. The Seven Stars emitted Starlight that rushed into the Demonic Artifact's crystal. Wave after wave of Star Rings emerged from the Demonic Artifact, falling onto the Water of the Underworld. That Water of the Underworld was immediately absorbed by the Star Rings into the Demonic Artifact. The Water of the Underworld that practically could not resist corrosion was unexpectedly absorbed by Zhai Xing Zi's ineffable Demonic Artifact.
"Good …" Zhai Xing Zi's originally anxious heart instantly relaxed. He thought to himself, "The Nameless Ancient Scroll's cultivation method is indeed not bad. This Demonic Artifact can absorb the Water of the Underworld.
In this way, this Water of the Underworld naturally can help me step into Out of Body Realm! "
As he thought this, Zhai Xing Zi's Nascent Soul's other hand slapped downwards. The Star Crest that had previously flown out from Zhai Xing Zi's Niwan Palace landed on the hand.
The Nascent Soul slowly raised its hand, as if a giant mountain peak was suspended in its hand.
However, although this hand appeared slow, it was actually extremely fast. In no more than a few breaths' time, the hand pinched the Star Crest and placed it on its own forehead!
"Boom …" An extremely brilliant Starlight flashed from the Nascent Soul's forehead. The Nascent Soul's entire spirit body immediately became illusory. Specks that were like brilliant stars covered the Nascent Soul's entire spirit body!
"Break …" Just like Master Xun Kong, Zhai Xing Zi silently chanted an incantation. His mind's connection with the Nascent Soul's Primordial Spirit was severed. Zhai Xing Zi's face showed an expression of pain.
"Weng, weng …" Zhai Xing Zi's Nascent Soul let out a rumbling sound. Its entire spirit body suddenly compressed, condensing into a fist-sized Star Core in an instant.
"Success or failure depends on this one move!"
Zhai Xing Zi steeled his heart. His hand seals activated, and that vast and mighty Underworld Water was immediately divided into a stream that charged towards the Star Core!
"Zzzt …" The Star Core was submerged by the Underworld Water, letting out an unpleasant hissing sound. Wisps of green smoke emitted from the Star Core. When the first stream of Underworld Water dripped down, that Star Core unexpectedly transformed into three hundred and sixty-five tiny fragments. These fragments did not have Starlight, but even the Underworld Water could not melt these fragments.
"Boom …" Immediately afterwards, another stream of Underworld Water washed down. Zhai Xing Zi's corporeal body slightly trembled. When the Underworld Water fell, those three hundred and sixty fragments again shrunk by half.
Zhai Xing Zi endured an indescribable pain. This pain was more severe than having his tendons pulled out and his bones pulled out. This pain originated from his soul. This was precisely the pain of refining the soul that was mentioned in the secret art!
Zhai Xing Zi's Nascent Soul Star Core was washed no less than nine times with the Underworld Water. Not only were each fragment as small as they could be, but each fragment also flashed with a trace of bloody light!
"What a pity …" Zhai Xing Zi's whole body convulsed into a ball. Hiding behind the demonic weapon, he avoided the torrential Underworld Water. He secretly regretted in his heart, "According to the secret art, the more Underworld Water washes, the more beneficial it is for the Nascent Soul. Unfortunately, my cultivation is not enough, so I can only wash nine of them. If I can wash nine of them, not to mention stepping into the Spirit Severing Stage, even crossing the Heavenly Tribulation is within reach!"
"Forget it …" Just as he regretted, Zhai Xing Zi woke up again, "Opportunities are opportunities. In this moment, I can use the Underworld Water to cleanse my body. The demonic weapon also contains the Underworld Water. In the future, there is hope for me to refine the Star Arts. Why should I think more?"
Immediately, Zhai Xing Zi urged on the secret art again. A mouthful of Essence Blood fell onto those three hundred and sixty-five Star Cores. "Weng, weng …" Several hundred Star Cores vibrated at the same time, each emitting faint Star Markings. These Star Markings floated in midair, forming a complete Star Crest!
"Boom, boom, boom …" A myriad of Heaven Earth Origin Qi condensed into a hurricane that fell towards the Star Crest. Strands of sparkling light flickered, and thunderbolts similarly struck down. An extremely small Nascent Soul appeared from the flat Star Crest. It slowly swelled, reaching more than a hundred zhang.
But this Nascent Soul's entire body was covered in Star Markings under the thunderbolts. Following the disappearance of the thunderbolts, all of the Star Markings also disappeared. The entire Nascent Soul was incomparably solid, no different from an ordinary corporeal body!
The Nascent Soul originally had its eyes closed. When the Spirit Body was completed, the Nascent Soul opened its eyes. Its two black pupils flashed with endless starlight.
"Swoosh …" The Nascent Soul suddenly opened its eyes. Both of its hands waved, and two pillars of starlight fell onto the still roaring Underworld Water. That water flow instantly quieted, and the blood-colored markings quietly contracted …
"Weng, weng, weng …" A hundred li away, an anomaly suddenly appeared. Zhai Xing Zi raised his head to look. It was precisely Xiao Hua's north pole!
"Xiao Hua?"
A slight smile suddenly appeared on Zhai Xing Zi's originally pained face. He turned his head to look at his Nascent Soul that seemed to have been reborn after breaking through. Then, he looked at the already receding Underworld Water. Unexpectedly, he used his hand to rub his nose and laughed, "This kind of opportunity, even this Old Man can benefit from it. Presumably, Master Xun Kong and Zhang Daoran can also do the same. We are already like this, so what fortuitous encounter did Daoist Master Xiao have?
It's a pity that this Old Man's Divine Intent cannot pass through … "
That is, when Zhai Xing Zi muttered to himself here, he saw that at the north pole of the Cloud Mountain Bewildering Array, hundreds of magnificent lights soared into the sky, imposing and vast!!!
Back to Xiao Hua, when that Profound Purity Spirit Forbidding Great Array gave birth to an anomaly, Master Xun Kong's Nascent Soul body was sent flying into the air by the power of hundreds of vicious spirits. Xiao Hua and Master Xun Kong respectively suppressed the head and tail of the mountain ridge. The force of impact he received was not any less than Master Xun Kong's!
However, how could Master Xun Kong compare to Xiao Hua's cultivation?
Moreover, when Xiao Hua saw that the force coming from the bottom of the great array was about to overturn his body, he immediately roared and took out the Wishful Staff. He gathered his strength and fiercely struck at the bottom of the great array!
