Chen Luo discovered he could scavenge the minds of the dead.
So he went to a graveyard and scavenge the brain of a deceased Great Emperor, figuring he’d borrow it for a bit.
While other...
Ancestor Shi Ling's expression also turned cold; he could sense Chen Luo's strength.
In the early stage of returning to the void, there was still a hidden power that he could not see through. It was precisely because of this that he chose to compromise. Otherwise, the fact that Chen Luo destroyed their Stone Spirit Clan's defensive formation would be enough to tear their face apart.
Neither of them spoke again. The surrounding aura slowly condensed, and the area covered by their spiritual consciousness and the demonic energy were divided into two areas by the two of them.
"The strength is a little lacking."
Chen Luo suddenly spoke.
The old man Shi Ling narrowed his eyes, and a strange wave spread like ripples. The balanced boundary of the demonic energy was instantly destroyed.
Dense steel needles of spiritual consciousness penetrated through and stabbed Chen Luo in the middle.
Phew!
Several muffled sounds.
Chen Luo's figure melted in front of him like mud. The spiritual steel needles left hundreds of dense holes on his body.
The ground squirmed, and a long stream of rock mud flew out and attacked the Stone Spirit Ancestor.
'Three inches from the left shoulder.'
The brain that was proficient in physical combat quickly found the weak points in the body of Ancestor Shi Ling.
The outstretched arm turned dark gold, and circles of swaying dark red bone patterns appeared on the arm, faintly turning into the trampling of a wild elephant.
Ganesha Seal!
The air exploded with a muffled sound, and the demonic energy around them was like liquid, being manipulated by the two people to constantly collide, forming circular ripples that spread out in circles.
The fist was blocked half a foot away from the Stone Spirit Ancestor. The gray-white rock condensed into a big hand and grabbed Chen Luo's arm head-on. This rock arm was like a black rock compressed to the limit, reflecting a jet-black luster.
Snap!
With a crisp sound, a crack appeared on the black arm. This scene made the pupils of Shi Ling Patriarch shrink subconsciously.
"Stone Spirit."
Ancestor Shi Ling suddenly took half a step back.
Behind the cracked charcoal-black arm, a five-meter-tall black stone man stretched out. The moment this stone spirit emerged from the ground, a purple light flashed in its eyes.
The attack originating from the soul level spread over instantly.
The most terrifying thing about these old monsters with a long lifespan is their soul. The accumulation of long years has made their souls much stronger than those of cultivators at the same level. Except for those with extraordinary talents, it is almost impossible for anyone to withstand the impact of their souls.
As an old demon with many years of experience, Ancestor Shi Ling saw Chen Luo’s weakness at a glance.
The years of cultivation are too short!
To deal with this kind of younger generation of immortal cultivators, it is the most foolish thing to do to compete with them in terms of cultivation. The simplest and quickest way is to crush them with your soul. Use your own strengths to deal with their weaknesses!
The mind was in a trance, and the scene around changed. The enemies in sight disappeared, and the nose smelled the fresh fragrance of flowers, and the ears heard the sound of birds. The warm sunlight shone on the skin, making people want to relax.
Chen Luo's movements slowed down noticeably, and the bone patterns on his arms began to fade.
Even the black crystal stone man who had fought directly with him disappeared.
A power from his soul spread in, causing the spiritual power flowing through his body to slow down. Strange thoughts kept coming out of his body.
Why fight, why kill.
'The art of spiritual power, the secret of laziness.'
The brain of Hu Si, the ancestor of the fox clan who was obtained together with Shimu Niangniang, emerged.
Chen Luo woke up instantly, and his brain was unconsciously replaced by Hu Si. From Hu Si's perspective, he saw another completely different scene.
This fox ancestor is best at mental illusion.
Major in the Seven Desires.
He was most familiar with this type of attack. Even though Chen Luo himself did not have much similar inheritance, he still found a way to deal with it with the help of the soul technique, heart demon technique and other skills that Chen Luo had practiced a long time ago.
In the colorful world, a monster covered in black hair stood in front of him, with a hand on his shoulder, making him unable to move. The light gray power penetrated into his body along his arm.
Spiritual monster.
Ancestor Shi Ling has lived for eight thousand years, so the methods he has mastered are naturally not comparable to those of ordinary cultivators.
Chen Luo's pupils shook and just happened to look at the black-haired monster.
The soul monster that was attacking Chen Luo was frightened and instinctively wanted to run away. But before he could retreat, he saw a mysterious mark appear between Chen Luo's eyebrows.
Seal of the soul!
The second seal of the Nine Imperials.
Chen Luo rarely used this seal. He usually used physical and magic skills against enemies. Soul skills were too dangerous and a life-threatening skill. Even at Chen Luo's current level of cultivation, after his soul power was damaged, it would be greatly affected, and in serious cases, it would even affect his path.
The power flowed, and he instantly broke free from the black-haired monster's restraints.
Without pausing, Chen Luo's figure flashed, and the bone pattern on his right hand lit up again, this time turning into a thunder pattern. Different auras switched on his body, and he was very proficient in each one, and the power that burst out was dazzling.
The figure flashed in the air like a phantom.
Every step taken will leave a shadow filled with lightning arcs in its place.
The power of the demon bone overflowed, and Chen Luo's body suddenly rose three inches. The power mixed with the thunder pattern formed a petal-shaped radial arc, and the thunder-like arm grabbed the black-haired monster.
hiss
A violent electric arc exploded from the palm of his hand, and the black-haired monster, which had no time to retreat, was electrocuted into charcoal on the spot.
'The power of laziness, reversal.'
'Spiritual power flows through the bones and arms, crossing the triple burner meridian, thunder hand!'
'Soul Seal, superimposed.'
The three corresponding brains started to work at the same time. In the eyes of the Stone Spirit Patriarch opposite, Chen Luo seemed to be split into three people. The soul mark lit up between his brows, and a demonic lightning arc burst out on his left palm. The right palm drew a circle in the air to dissolve the soul attack he had just released.
Each technique is very skillful and has no influence on each other.
This is also the most terrifying thing about Chen Luo. On the surface, he looks like a person, but in fact, he is a superposition of multiple brains. These brains are usually lurking in his body, studying the areas they are good at, and they look inconspicuous. But once the critical moment comes, these brains will be connected together like a big network, cooperating with each other, and superimposed infinitely.
It is like a brain that is good at physical training. Its best point is defense, and its weakest point is speed.
At this time, Chen Luo happened to have another brain that was good at speed and lacked defense. When the two were combined, he would immediately become a monster with extremely fast speed and endless power. The same was true for magic cultivation and sword cultivation. Each path had its own advantages and disadvantages. Adding different types of brains to the body could just solve these problems.
"Inkstone!"
The Stone Spirit Patriarch shouted. A new stone man grew out of the cracked black stone man's body. His five fingers spread out to form a huge stone shield, grabbing towards Chen Luo.
"Thunder."
Chen Luo dodged the attack and quickly appeared behind Shi Ling Patriarch. The remaining shadow gradually faded, and his left arm swept through the air, dragging a crescent-shaped lightning arc. The flashing lightning arc made a sharp sound of electricity, and the white electric light illuminated half of Shi Ling Patriarch's face.
One punch!
It came down from the side and rear. The evil spirits surrounding the ongoing fighting in the yard were all pulled over under the influence of this force and turned into a vortex-shaped airflow.
The nearest stone walls collapsed in large pieces, and the scattered gravel flew out like raindrops. After the sound of breaking through the air, it hit the stone walls farther away, making a dense sound.
"Head of copper and arms of iron."
The Stone Spirit Patriarch turned his head to the side, and the color on his head faded visibly. The gray-white rock power spread out from his body, and finally solidified into a huge stone statue, which collided with Chen Luo's fist without hiding.
clang!!
The expected separation of the head did not occur. Chen Luo, who fell on the stone statue, only felt his arm go numb, as if his entire arm was broken. The blast of air spread along the stone statue and merged into the ground below.
In a battle of physical strength, he actually lost!
A cold light flashed in the eyes of Patriarch Shi Ling, but before he could dissolve the stone clothes on his body, the soul attack from his brow and the "Art of Laziness" from his right hand followed closely.
The strong wind that had just subsided exploded again.
Two muffled groans sounded at the same time.
The two retreated at the same time. After a brief fight, neither of them gained an advantage. Chen Luo lost the physical battle, but won back with the spiritual attack that followed.
The result of this fight made both of them wary.
Also figured out the other party's strength.
It took the old man Shi Ling a long time to calm down the fluctuations of his soul. He looked at Chen Luo, feeling a little bit unbelievable.
Less than six hundred years!
If his perception was correct, the human cultivator in front of him had practiced for not even a fraction of his years.
"Whose reincarnation are you?"
Ancestor Shi Ling has already regarded Chen Luo as a reincarnation.
In his understanding, only an old monster who had been reincarnated and cultivated again could achieve this. The magical powers that Chen Luo had displayed when fighting him just now were all very complicated and required a lot of time to master. Especially the power of the soul, without enough years of precipitation, it would be impossible to burst out such a powerful force.
"How many people of your level are there on the mountain?"
Chen Luo also recovered.
The old man in front of him was even stronger than he expected, with no obvious weaknesses in both his body and soul. There was only one way to deal with an old monster of this level, and that was to consume him!
You have to exhaust all your demonic power before you can kill it.
However, this method obviously didn't work. Chen Luo looked at the holy mountain that seemed to be moving like a continent and gave up the idea.
Neither of them spoke again, nor did they answer each other's questions.
The situation suddenly came to a standstill.
"If we keep fighting, we'll be out of control. How about we both take a step back?"
The Shi Ling Patriarch suddenly dispersed his aura and spoke to Chen Luo. The fight was only to confirm Chen Luo's strength. Now that Chen Luo has shown equal strength, the attitude towards him will naturally change. (End of this chapter)
