I Borrowed the Great Emperor’s Brain

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...

Chapter 682 Can I still choose for myself?

The tortoise pattern on the back of the flower-backed turtle stopped flowing.

Before he could come to his senses, another severe cold wave swept over, and all the sand in the air and the flying locusts were frozen into ice chips, which smashed towards the shell of the clam girl like a rain curtain.

"Help!"

Su Dacai waved his hands desperately. He originally wanted to escape quietly, but after seeing the icy blue raindrops behind him like a storm, he was dumbfounded. With his current cultivation level, he couldn't fly out at all.

This is a battle between gods!

With his small body, the opponent doesn't need to target him deliberately. A little aftermath is enough to freeze him into a ball of ice, making him dead beyond death.

"This is the way out you mentioned?!!"

The clam girl was so angry that she spat out blood.

She controlled the shell to fly all the way. In addition to guarding against the enemy, she also had to carry people to escape. It can be said that she put all her hopes on the innate magical power of the flower-backed turtle. As a result, she fled all the way here without seeing any way out, but she did encounter a strange tomb robber.

“The hexagram is here.”

The flower-backed turtle was also a little suspicious. He didn't have time to think about it, so he reached out and grabbed the tomb robber below. The spiritual power in the palm of his right hand merged into the shell, and at the same time he shouted at the little locust tree and the Jiaosheng who were sitting cross-legged over there.

"help!"

Hearing his roar, the two demon saints opened their eyes with grim expressions.

We had relied on these two people to make it all the way, but now, after just a short rest, these people can't hold on anymore. They are completely useless!

"Why did you bring this loser up here? Isn't it chaotic enough?"

The Jiaosheng opened his mouth and roared a wave of air towards the back. Large pieces of ice debris were blown away by him, which was considered to have resolved this attack.

But escaping like this is not a solution at all. The Black Bird Demon King clearly wants to use them to establish his authority.

"Throw the man down."

The little locust tree also looked annoyed.

Suddenly, a stream of ice-blue light flew over from behind. Instantly, the blue light was strong, and the spherical force exploded in the air, freezing the entire area into an ice-blue color. The temperature dropped sharply, and the originally dry sand turned into a blue ice field under the influence of this force.

Boom boom boom!!

A thick layer of frost formed on the surface of the clam shell, and the clam girl who was controlling the clam shell groaned. Fortunately, the dead branches of the small locust tree spread out in time and broke most of the frost.

"Don't throw it, don't throw it! I know a place where we can get rid of these pursuers behind us."

Hearing what these people said, Su Dacai was so scared that he immediately shouted. He was only at the Jindan stage. If he accidentally got into a fight of this level, he wouldn't even be able to fight back. Once he left the protection of the clam shell, he would definitely die.

"Where?"

The flower-backed turtle's eyes lit up.

He knew that his innate magical power would not go wrong.

As long as he can get through this period and go back to find his big brother, the rest of the problems will be solved. With his big brother around, maybe he can fight back in the future and get back everything he lost!

"There is a lake in the southwest. Half a year ago, a thundercloud appeared there. The Huangsha ancestors who originally lived there were killed by lightning. Now it has become a Jedi. No one dares to go in. As long as we pass through there, we will be able to avoid those who are chasing us."

"What is the cultivation level of the Huangsha Patriarch you are talking about?"

"Yuanying old monster."

"What rubbish!!"

Jiao Shengqi was delighted.

He was a demon saint, a powerful cultivator in the late stage of Return to Void. He didn't even look at the Divine Transformation cultivators. Now someone told him that he had to rely on the Thunder Cloud Land of the Nascent Soul Realm to help him escape. Wasn't this an insult?

"Throw it away!"

Little Sophora Tree was too lazy to even speak. In this change of the demon race, his ancestor, the Great Sophora Tree, played an ignominious role. As a demon saint of the Turtle Ancestor lineage, he decisively chose to flee. No matter what, he couldn't fall into the hands of the ancestor, otherwise, with the old thing's temperament, he would definitely suck him into a tree trunk.

"Go and have a look."

The flower-backed turtle stopped the roots of the small locust tree and spoke seriously.

"We don't have a choice now anyway. If we keep running like this, we'll be caught up sooner or later."

After this, everyone fell silent. When they first escaped from the demon tribe, they took the flying boat that the turtle ancestor left for the flower-backed turtle, but it was smashed when crossing the demon tribe's barrier. Later, they changed to the flying boat of the small locust tree, and then the magic weapon of the Jiao Saint.

As they fled, the treasures they had became fewer and fewer, and now they even had to use the shell of the clam girl.

Everyone has reached the end of their rope.

"Compared to the Nascent Soul Realm's Jedi, I believe in the world barrier more." Jiao Sheng still shook his head and rejected the proposal.

Their original plan was to use the world barrier to get rid of the enemy.

A sudden change of direction now is likely to bring uncertainty to the original plan.

"Let's give it a try."

The clam girl suddenly spoke.

The place where everyone was standing now was her life body. On this journey, the clam girl helped a lot. The flower-backed turtle calculated the route, the clam girl carried people, the little locust tree and the dragon saint blocked the enemy, and Ding Jian and Yuwen Ling were substitutes. The six people in the group were considered a temporary team. Separating them now would infinitely increase the danger, which was the most foolish thing to do.

"I hope you won't regret it."

The Jiao Saint was silent for a moment, but finally chose to compromise. He was now seriously injured, and most of his spiritual power was consumed. If he left alone, he would most likely fall into the hands of the snake behind him. Having been together as a demon saint for more than a thousand years, he knew the snake's insidiousness better than anyone else.

If he fell into the hands of the other party, he was sure that guy would drain all his dragon blood, grind him to ashes, and not even have the chance to reincarnate.

whoosh!

The clam shell drew an arc in the air and flew in the direction indicated by Su Dacai.

"Turn?"

The Snake Saint who was chasing behind frowned slightly. He had already set up an ambush at the edge of the barrier in advance, but he didn't expect that this group of people did not fall for it.

"The Fate Turtle is really not a simple thing!"

Thinking of the Flower-backed Turtle's innate magical power, Snake Lord immediately led his men to chase after it.

He also covets monsters that involve fate!

thunderbolt!!

The ninth thunderbolt struck down, and Chen Luo was smashed into the ground by the force. The surrounding formation flags were all broken into pieces, the talisman paper was burned, and the poisonous insects fell into a deep sleep. Even the evil spirits in the soul flags were mostly killed.

The power stored in the dragon ball was also consumed by him.

But I managed to make it through.

Forty-nine days of calamity!

After more than half a year, he was completely reborn and upgraded from the root. He could clearly feel the joy in his soul and body.

The thunderbolt dissipated, and Chen Luo flew out again from below. The charred skin fell off, revealing the body of the Dharma inside. The bone patterns on his body flickered, and his aura surged like a tide. The realm of the initial stage of returning to the void was completely stabilized under the cleansing of the thunderbolt, and the aura that was growing wildly continued to move towards a higher level.

Buzz!!

Chen Luo only felt that the scene in front of him was hazy, and a long-lost sense of familiarity surged into his heart.

It’s a calamity of the inner demon!

But this time the feeling was completely different from before. Chen Luo did not feel the power of his hazy mind, nor did he feel the pull from his inner demons. He only felt his soul leaving his body again and flying to another unfamiliar space.

This is an ancient house with a vermilion corridor with dragons and phoenixes. The water in the pool is crystal clear with fish swimming around. The flowerbed in the distance is full of flowers. The clear spring water on the rockery keeps flowing into the windmill, driving the bamboo waterwheel to rotate and make a collision sound.

A strange man was standing in the pavilion writing, with a brown teapot boiling next to him.

The aroma of tea fills the air, making people forget the troubles outside.

"Heavenly tribulation?"

Chen Luo stood by and didn't ask until the man in the pavilion finished writing a piece of calligraphy.

"Yes."

The elegant man in the pavilion responded with a smile.

He gave people the feeling that he did not have the aura of a heavenly calamity, nor did he have any destructive power. He was like an old friend visiting, giving people a sense of closeness.

This was the first time Chen Luo had seen a natural tribulation of this kind. In his memory, most of the natural tribulations in novels were thunder tribulations, with a few being wind tribulations, fire tribulations, and water tribulations. But no matter what kind of natural tribulation it was, it was essentially a destructive disaster, and the way to overcome it was mostly through confrontation.

This was the first time he had seen a natural tribulation in this state.

"Don't you think so?"

“No.”

"Then what do you think a heavenly tribulation should look like? Thunder, water, fire, wind, rain? If it's just like this, then the heavenly tribulation would be too easy to overcome."

The elegant man said with a smile.

"The road to immortality is difficult, where is the difficulty?"

He gestured with his hand, and the teapot on the table flew up automatically, filling the cup next to it. Washing the tea, warming the tea, the whole process was smooth.

Light green tea flows in the cup.

“The difficulty lies within ourselves.”

The teacup flew up from the table and floated in front of Chen Luo.

"So this time the inner demon tribulation is against you?"

Chen Luo did not take the tea. He vaguely remembered that he had read a novel about a human-shaped heavenly tribulation a long time ago. In that book, the human-shaped heavenly tribulation looked the same as the one who survived the tribulation, but his strength was several times that of the one who survived the tribulation. The scene of the tribulation was so tragic that blood and flesh flew everywhere, and there were several life-and-death situations.

"Of course not."

"I have seven calamities, you can choose one." The elegant man spread out his hands, and seven balls of light flew out from his palms and lined up in a row.

"Can the Heavenly Tribulation choose itself?"

"The calamity is extended from oneself, so you can choose it naturally. External calamity is visible and not worth worrying about, but the calamity of the heart is the fundamental. No matter which one you choose, you will go through your own calamity."

The elegant man took a sip of the tea in the cup and put it back on the table.

"In other words, every kind of heavenly tribulation must be overcome, it's just a matter of time?"

Chen Luo was really interested.

It was the first time that he learned about the information related to the heavenly tribulation. These things were not passed down in the world of immortal cultivation.

"Yes."

The elegant man smiled and said. (End of this chapter)
